    Although the Tiger Guards were all strong men, there were not many of them, and they were gradually overwhelmed by the Shu soldiers and were on the verge of collapse.  Dian Wei and Pan Feng, however, fought like no one else, and it seemed like only the other's figure was left in their eyes. They drove their horses and wielded their weapons, fighting in the rebel army for an unknown number of rounds.  When the sergeants of the two armies saw the two fighting and were approaching, no one except them retreated.  As the Shu army continued to advance, Dian Wei retreated further and further, and Pan Feng rode his horse and advanced with an axe.  The tiger guards in the Wei army's rear formation were almost forced into the city.

    Suddenly, there was a loud thunder and drum beating outside the city, and Cao Cao personally led 30,000 troops and horses and rushed over.  Wei general Li Tong led eight thousand soldiers and horses from the front army and rushed into the city like a flood. Cao Cao pulled out the heavenly sword in the middle army and waved it constantly, commanding all the troops to press forward and fight.

    "We can conquer Xiangyang in one fell swoop. All armies can work hard to move forward. If we defeat this city, we will all be rewarded!!!"

    Cao Cao shouted and drank. The sound could confuse people's minds, and the Wei soldiers seemed to be unafraid of death and charged forward bravely.  Pan Feng's face changed when he heard the momentum. He hurriedly forced Kai Dianwei with an axe, moved into the rear formation, and ordered the crossbowmen to fire arrows in unison.  Pan Feng gave an order, and arrows flew away. Dian Wei hurriedly reined in his horse and led the army to retreat.  At this time, Li Tong led the army and advanced.  This collision caused Wei soldiers to be in chaos.  Pan Feng hurriedly ordered his sword and shield hands to move forward, forcing the Wei soldiers and horses inside the city gate.  How could Dian Wei make the Shu soldiers get what they wanted? Before his horse could kill him suddenly, Yu was about to open a gap. Pan Feng rushed over quickly, his phoenix eyes shining brightly, and he suddenly launched his killing move.  Dian Wei did not dare to neglect, his momentum burst out, and his two halberds flew up.  When the two weapons collided, there was a loud sound like the sky was falling.  The phoenix and the dragon-elephant phase passed by in a flash.  Dian Wei and his men retreated a few meters with their horses. Pan Feng also retreated a few meters and suddenly stopped. Soldiers from the two armies rushed forward to fight.

    ""Dian Wei gasped, his internal organs seemed to be shattered, and his blood and energy rushed out.  As for Pan Feng, after a series of fierce battles, his injuries became more serious. His face turned blue and white, and blood surged into his throat.  If these were exhaust gas and blood congestion, Pan Feng would at least feel much better if he spit them out, but at this moment, Pan Feng did not dare to spit them out and swallowed them tightly.  Dian Wei saw that Pan Feng seemed to be fine, with a frightened expression on his face, and stared at Pan Feng with evil eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.  At this time, the two armies were fighting each other.  Li Tong rushed up and saw Dian Wei and Pan Feng in the rebel army, each standing in his place.  When Li Tong saw this, his mind was spinning, so he held down the gun, took the bow and loaded the arrow, and prepared for a sneak attack.  Suddenly, Dian Wei got up on his horse again, shouted loudly, and charged towards Pan Feng.  Pan Feng raised his ax and blocked it, fighting with Dian Wei.  Li Tong saw it eagerly and shot with an arrow.  Unexpectedly, Pan Feng had noticed it early and secretly prepared himself. When the arrow was fired, he suddenly reined in his horse and retreated.  Dian Wei was eager to kill and rushed forward with his horse. As a result, Li Tong's cold arrow was shot at Dian Wei.  At the same time, Dian Wei slashed at Pan Feng's throat with his halberd. Pan Fengfeng's eyes were cold and clear, and he had no intention of striking, so he fell down to avoid it.  When Dian Wei was about to pursue the enemy with his other hand, he suddenly heard the sound of arrows piercing the air and quickly struck the halberd away.  At this moment, Pan Feng suddenly became angry and planned to strike Dian Wei with his ax.  There was a sneer on Dian Wei's face, and he secretly turned his hand against the iron halberd, waiting for Pan Feng to attack him and give him a chance to attack.  In this way, we will see who is faster. It happens that Dian Wei is very confident in the speed of his halberd.

    However, Dian Wei did not expect that Pan Feng was just making an offensive, and took advantage of the situation to suddenly rein in his horse and run away.  By the time Dian Wei came to his senses, Pan Feng had retreated into the Shu army's formation.

    "Could it be that Pan Wushuang has reached the end of his power?!"

    Dian Wei also knew Pan Feng very well and knew that he was not a rat who retreated from the battle.  Immediately, Dian Wei Changzhi "" was filled with regret. If he had just fought with his life as soon as he arrived and executed his killing move, it is very likely that this world-shaking unparalleled general would have lost his life!  !

    Dian Wei was so angry that his steel teeth were about to break. He cursed and told Pan Fengxiu to leave.  Pan Feng didn't understand, and flew into the rear formation.  Dian Wei came to attack with great force, but the Shu soldiers resisted frantically and could not defeat him for a while.  As soon as Pan Feng retreated, the morale of the Wei soldiers instantly increased and they charged bravely.  Li Tong led his troops to attack and gradually broke through the Shu soldiers' defense line.  A group of Wei soldiers poured out from the city gate.  Cao Cao rode forward to boost morale.  The two armies fought in a mixed battle, and the Shu soldiers were defeated like a mountain and dispersed in rout.  Pan Feng led one of his remaining soldiers to fight to the death and escape.

    By the time it was dawn, bursts of noise were suddenly heard in the city. Countless people rushed out of their houses and rushed to the granary in the city.  It turned out that Fazheng saw that time was running out and there was still a lot of food that could not be transported, so he ordered two teams of light cavalry to shout in the alleys of the city to teach the people to come and get food.  Some poor people saw that Wei soldiers and Shu soldiers were still fighting at the city gate, so they took the courage to go over and take a look. Sure enough, they saw the granary wide open, like a naked beauty, exuding a temptation that made everyone's body heat up.  Suddenly, the people went frantically to get the food. They took off their clothes, wrapped the food in their cloths, and hurried home happily.  Many people saw it and rushed there one after another.  As this went back and forth, there were more and more people in the streets in the city.  Cao Cao led his troops to attack, but he didn't expect that the Shu army had already prepared to retreat. After all, most of his troops had not yet entered the city. If Pan Feng risked his life and ignored the soldiers,Most of them can save Xiangyang even if they fight to the death with all their strength exhausted.  Therefore, Cao Cao concentrated his forces on the attack and did not send any troops to prepare for the withdrawal of the Shu army.

    But it was said that Cao Cao led his army in. When the people around him saw the Wei soldiers coming to kill them, they were so frightened that they ran away.  The streets of Qingshi "Han Shimou Chapter 1120 Defeat at Xiangyang (Part 2)" were covered with grain.  When several Wei generals saw him, they rushed to kill him.  Cao Cao shouted loudly, and then quickly taught Dian Wei and Li Tong to lead the army to retreat, bypassing the city gate and chasing the Shu army.  Dian Wei and Li Tong took the order, rode their horses to the rear of the formation, and led their rear troops out of the city gate to intercept and kill the Shu soldiers.

    But it was said that Fazheng had earlier expected that Cao Cao would conquer Xiangyang in one fell swoop and concentrated his forces to attack. So Fazheng took advantage of the fighting between the two armies and hurriedly led his troops to withdraw from the west gate with the baggage.  At five o'clock, most of the troops had withdrawn.  Pan Ping led thousands of soldiers and horses to wait at the west gate. When it was dawn, he still didn't see his adoptive father Pan Feng arriving, and he was worried.  Hearing the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, he saw Pan Feng coming with hundreds of cavalry.  Pan Ping responded quickly.  After they withdrew, they ordered the soldiers to set fire inside the gate to ward off the Wei army.

    After that, Pan Feng and Pan Ping drove several miles away, when suddenly there was a murderous cry from behind.  Dian Wei and Li Tong led their troops to pursue them.  Pan Feng and Pan Ping didn't care about the lack of men and horses, they just ran.  The riders gradually dispersed.  There were only about thirty riders left, looking towards Xichuan.  But he said that Cao Cao had decided to secure the people. Suddenly Guo Jia came over and talked to Cao Cao for a while.  Cao Cao suddenly issued an order, sending a general and a team of fast cavalry to convey the order, ordering Dian Wei and Li Tongmo to pursue the attack again.  When the order came, Dian Wei and Li Tong heard the order to withdraw their troops.  At night, rush back to the city.  At this time, Cao Cao was hosting a banquet to reward the generals, and all the soldiers of the three armies were rewarded.  Dian Wei's armor was bloody, he stepped into the hall, knelt on the ground, and paid homage to Cao Cao.  When Cao Cao saw Dian Wei, he smiled with joy and poured wine for Dian Wei himself.  Dian Wei took the wine bowl respectfully and drank it all in one gulp, but there was doubt on his face and he stopped talking.  Cao Cao looked at it, smiled, and asked.

    "Are you suspicious of why Gu let Pan Wushuang go!?"

    When Dianwei heard this, it seemed that Cao Cao was interested in "Han Shimou". His suspicion became stronger and he nodded.  Cao Cao smiled even more, then pointed at Guo Jia at the table and said.

    "This is actually the intention of Zhenhou. If Zhenhou hadn't reminded him in time, I would have almost missed the big event!"

    Cao Cao then told the story in detail.  It turned out that Guo Jia had entered the city to see Cao Cao earlier, but he knew that Pan Feng would definitely retreat and taught Cao Cao not to pursue him.  Cao Cao asked, Guo Jia replied.

    "Now that Xiangyang has been lost, Pan Wushuang has retreated, and Jingzhou is already in the lord's pocket. The lord has already won Jingzhou, so there is no need to fight with Biduo. Pan Wushuang refused to die to protect Xiangyang in order to preserve his troops and assist Xichuan. Look at it this way  Later, the war in Xichuan was not optimistic. Wen Bufan already had a solid foundation. If he could quickly capture the land of Xichuan, he could move to Jiaozhou to seize the land of Soochow. Although the lord won Jingzhou, he could share the Yangtze River with Soochow.  However, our Wei people are not familiar with water warfare. If Soochow is in danger, it will take another one or two years to conquer it. At the same time, Soochow is invading our territory in Yuzhou, and it will take a lot of time to quell the chaos.  At that time, Wen Bufan had already conquered Jiaozhou, and could advance by land and water into the hinterland of Soochow. In this way, Wen Bufan's power would be even greater. If the Wei and Tang Dynasties went to war in the future, it would be very disadvantageous!

    Jia thought that Pan Wushuang had secured more than 20,000 troops this time and turned to Xichuan, which would inevitably lead to a fierce battle with the Western Tang Dynasty.  The Lord should take advantage of this opportunity to repel the Soochow soldiers and horses as soon as possible, so as to cross the Yangtze River early and conquer Jiangdong!  "

    Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly woke up, then his expression sank, he looked at Guo Jia and asked.

    "Did Feng Xiao have expected that Pan Wushuang would abandon Xiangyang?"

    After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled silently and nodded "entertainment show".

    By the way, Cao Cao will tell you everything in detail.  Dian Wei, Li Tong and others just woke up.  After the celebration, Cao Cao ordered the troops to rest for three days.  Three days later, Cao Cao issued an order, ordering Li Tong to lead troops to seize the remaining counties in Jingzhou.  Man Chong was responsible for stabilizing the power of Jingzhou.  Cao Cao then led 30,000 troops and horses, together with Dian Wei, Guo Jia and other civil and military forces, to Yuzhou to help in the war.  At this time, there were not many troops in Jingzhou, and Pan Feng retreated from Jingzhou. Li Tong led troops to conquer various places. Without exception, the county guards from all over the country dedicated their cities to calm the people.  Two months later, the land of Jingxiang fell to the power of Wei.  These are all things for later.

    On the other side, under the command of Sun Quan, the 80,000-strong Dongwu army was divided into three groups. Gan Ning was appointed as the vanguard general and led 8,000 troops to attack Chenjun in Yuzhou with great momentum.  When Zhang Jia heard that the Soochow army was coming, his expression changed drastically. Cao Zhang's eyes widened, he spoke with emotion, and shouted angrily.

    "General, don't worry too much, I am willing to fight against the enemy!!"

    He opened his jaw and looked startled. When he saw it was Cao Zhang, he frowned.  Although Cao Zhang is highly skilled in martial arts, he is Cao Cao's son after all, so there must be no negligence.  Zhang Jia had scruples, so how could he dare to send Cao Zhang.
