    When Huang Zhong saw this, he didn't care about chasing Zhang Fei and shouted to Zhang Liao in front.

    "Wen Yuan, don't get entangled with this reckless man, quickly retreat into the city and protect the city!!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Liao also knew that the situation was critical, so he quickly led his troops to rush forward, joined forces with Huang Zhong, and quickly retreated to the city.  After Huang Zhong returned to the city, he quickly distributed his troops and horses, hoping to strengthen the weak areas of each sect.  The soldiers at each city gate drew their bows and loaded arrows one after another. When the Shu soldiers approached, they immediately released arrows and shot.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? said.  In the Shu Bingzhai, the sound of Jin Jin's trumpet to withdraw troops was blown again.  The various Shu soldiers retreated quickly like an ebbing tide.  When the Tang soldiers from all sects saw the Shu soldiers withdrawing, their tense nerves relaxed and they were in a false alarm.  Xu Shu saw this in the city, his brows were furrowed, and he secretly thought about how the Shu soldiers could be so treacherous!  ?

    The Shu army withdrew by the time it was dusk.  All Tang soldiers in the city went to make food and rest.  In the government office, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and others were discussing.  Zhang Liao first reported what he had done, and the troops and horses he assigned were all in Chencang, a nearby city and county.  At the same time, people were also sent to inform Xu Huang, who was guarding Chang'an, and to teach him how to prepare.  Huang Zhong nodded slightly when he heard this, with a solemn and somewhat worried look on his face.  Xu Shu was silent, feeling more and more strange.  Huang Zhong asked hurriedly when he saw this.

    "Does Mr. Xu have any doubts?"

    When Xu Shu heard the words, his expression condensed and he said in a deep voice.

    "Previously, the Shu army clearly had the upper hand, but instead they stood still and surrounded without attacking. They seemed not to be afraid that we would go to Yongzhou to send reinforcements. But today Wenyuan's reinforcements have arrived. If the Shu soldiers want to attack Chencang as soon as possible,  We should fight to the death, or take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, but the Shu soldiers are all in a hurry, which is really weird!"

    Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao were both shocked when they heard this.  At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout of killing outside the city. Wen Shun was guarding the north gate when he saw an overwhelming number of Shu troops rushing towards him.  Wen Shun was shocked and anxious to retaliate against Huang Zhong.  Not long after Huang Zhong and others rushed out of the mansion, they met soldiers sent by Wen Shun and learned that Shu soldiers were attacking the north gate.  Huang Zhonghu was stunned and hurriedly mounted his horse, about to rush to direct the war.  But on the way there, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped and disappeared.  By the time Huang Zhong arrived, the Shu army that had attacked the north gate had already withdrawn.  Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and did not dare to be careless. He taught the guards to guard the city gates closely and not to give the Shu soldiers any chance.  Later, at the first watch of the night, there was another killing cry from the southern city gate. The Shu soldiers screamed and swarmed over to kill them, as if they wanted to break through the city gate in one fell swoop.  Deng Ai was the guard at the south gate and was eager to teach others to retaliate against Huang Zhong.  But when Huang Zhong arrived, the Shu soldiers suddenly withdrew.  In the past few months, both Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and the generals and commanders in the army were all exhausted.  At present, more than half of the soldiers are exhausted.  When Xu Shu saw this, he spoke calmly to Huang Zhong.

    "Old General Huang, that army has repeatedly made bluffs. It seems that it is a ploy to tire out the troops!"

    Huang Zhong looked shocked when he heard this and asked quickly.

    "The thieves are cunning and divide their forces to attack. Four groups of soldiers and horses besiege the city, attack all the way, and the other three groups rest. In this way, the enemy's army is waiting for work, and our army is exhausted. Even if we can hold on, the generals of the army may not be able to last long.  What should I do?"

    When Xu Shu heard this, he had other concerns and spoke attentively.

    "Right now, our army has lost the opportunity and is under the control of others. For the current plan, we can only teach the troops to be more energetic and delay the time until the lord's reinforcements arrive. I am guarding this city. There are seven or eight of them now.  As the days pass, we only need to guard for ten more days, and the Lord's reinforcements will surely arrive. No matter what, we must keep this city intact within these ten days!

    However, the common people were even more confused at the moment. The Shu army had already had a good strategy to attack the city, so why did they delay it until now?  Could it be!  ?  "

    Xu Shu's eyes widened, a look of horror appeared on his face, and suddenly he was sweating profusely, as if he thought of something extremely panicking.  Huang Zhong had never seen Xu Shu with such an expression before, his heart was twitching, and he asked anxiously.

    "Is it possible?"

    Xu Shu suddenly realized this, staggered a few steps, and shouted in panic.

    "The Shu army attacked Chencang in a large scale. A few days ago, Wenyuan reported back to Yongzhou and sent reinforcements. Now all the counties in Yongzhou thought that the Shu soldiers were going to march to Chencang. Marquis Zhongyi was afraid that the Shu soldiers would come out of Chencang, and he heard Wenyuan's urgent report.  There must be more troops and horses. As a result, Chang'an will be empty. If Zhuge Liang had already led a surprise army to the Xie Valley and left Qishan, but saw Chang'an's troops and horses moving and attacked unexpectedly, Chang'an would be in danger.  Yes! ¡±

    Xu Shu finally guessed Zhuge Liang¡¯s strategy. Huang Zhong¡¯s expression suddenly changed after hearing the plan.  Neither Huang Zhonghuan nor Xu Shu expected that sending Zhang Liao to Yongzhou to ask for help would lead to a catastrophe that would destroy the country.  After all, the 25,000 troops led by Zhang Fei were almost half of the remaining troops in Shu.  Judging from the situation, Dayou made a desperate move to break through Chencang and enter Chang'an. If he failed, he would become Ren's death wish.  How could Xu Shu and Huang Zhong have expected that the Shu army had previously attacked very fiercely, and Zhang Fei had won several battles in a row, and then surrounded him?Behind the lake, they clearly had the upper hand, but they did not take the offensive, as if they were deliberately waiting for their own army to rush to Yongzhou to dispatch reinforcements.

    By the time Xu Shu noticed something strange, it was too late. Zhang Liao had already entered Yongzhou.  At that time, Xu Shu had not expected that Zhuge Liang would dare to take such dangerous risks.  According to Xu Shu's expectation, 70% to 80% of the Shu army's available troops and horses are here in Chencang.  Although the remaining five or six thousand troops do not know where they are going, if they want to attack Chang'an with this force, they will undoubtedly be like moths flying into the flame and causing their own destruction!  So Xu Shu gave up on this idea.

    But later, when Xu Shu discovered that the entire Yongzhou and even his own army thought Zhang Fei was going to attack Chencang, he realized something strange.  In this way, if Zhuge Liang does send cavalry, he will have an opportunity.  After all, Xu Huang was guarding Chang'an and had a heavy responsibility. He must have been anxious when he heard the urgent report from Zhang Liao. Being anxious can lead to chaos.  If Xu Huang unexpectedly transferred most of his troops to the Chencang area for defense, but forgot to warn Zhuge Liang to send troops from Qishan, it would be in danger.

    And Zhuge Liang had just predicted that no one in the Western Tang Dynasty could have imagined that he would lead thousands of soldiers and horses, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and heading to Hushan, so he unexpectedly attacked Chang'an!

    "This is a life of nine deaths, and there are many changes. If anything goes wrong, Zhuge Liang's thousands of soldiers and horses will definitely die without a burial place!"  And Zhuge Liang has always been cautious and meticulous in his actions, how could Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others expect that he would risk his life and survive!  ?

    Huang Zhong grabbed Xu Shu's hand urgently, his eyes were frightened, and he asked sharply.

    "If it is as Yuan Zhi expected, we will all be the sinners of the country!! What should we do!?"

    When Xu Shu heard this, his heart trembled, his face was full of regret, he raised his head and sighed.

    "Looking at the situation of their army, I think they will attack by force soon. When the time comes, we will send troops to break through and hope that Chang'an will report the information. It will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky. Moreover, although we have anticipated Zhuge Liang's plan, the city of Chencang is also  We must not lose the position, otherwise the Shu army can also send troops from Chencang to attack Chang'an, and then they will lose sight of one thing and the other. In my opinion, I can quickly summon His Highness the Prince, Shi Zai, and An Guo to form a group of Black Wind Cavalry and wait.  The other army came back to bluff, and General Huang led his troops to attack. The other army was unprepared, so General Huang took advantage of this to protect His Royal Highness and others, and told them to rush to Chang'an to inform Zhuge Liang of his plan!"

    When Huang Zhong heard this, his expression condensed, and he felt that it was a good idea.  In any case, the younger generation such as Wen Shun, Guan Xing, and Deng Ai are the future pillars of the Western Tang Dynasty and cannot be lost.  After Huang Zhong and Xu Shu discussed the matter, they quickly taught Wen Shun, Guan Xing, and Deng Ai to come and speak harshly about the past events.  The three people all changed their minds after hearing this. They all knew that the responsibility was heavy and they did not dare to hesitate and accepted the order with enthusiasm.

    At three o'clock in the night, the Shu soldiers really went on the offensive again and swarmed toward the east gate to kill them.  At this time, on the west gate, a cannon sounded, and the city gate suddenly opened.  Huang Zhong took the lead and flew out suddenly.  Three generals, Wen Shun, Guan Xing, and Deng Ai, each led the black wind cavalry to follow.  Huang Zhong suddenly came out from the west gate. The Shu soldiers gathered outside the west gate were unprepared and thought that Huang Zhong was leading his troops to attack, and there was a sudden chaos.  Huang Zhong glared angrily, whipped up and flew forward, killing directly and crashing into the crowd of Shu soldiers. He rushed left and right, killing the enemy in waves, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.  Wen Shun, Guan Xing, and Deng Ai, three young generals, each armed with weapons, danced tightly, creating brilliant rains of blood.  A group of black wind cavalry officers and soldiers suddenly clashed angrily with their horses and guns drawn, and the Shu soldiers immediately collapsed.

    Now in the Shu army stronghold, Fazheng heard that the soldiers had come to report, and Huang Zhong led an army out of the west gate to attack the soldiers and horses to the west.  Fazheng's expression changed. He didn't know what the other army meant, so he quickly asked Pan Ping to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue.  Pan Ping took the order and left quickly.  At this time, Ma Liang's expression suddenly changed and he spoke anxiously to Fa Zheng.

    "Xu Yuanzhi is a talented person from hundreds of miles away. The military adviser has said that this person is not a person to be taken lightly and should not be underestimated. Our army did not move the troops the previous time, but something went wrong. Today, the troops are acting strangely again. If Xu Yuanzhi can see the clues based on this,  Sensing the military strategist¡¯s plan, this army is most likely going to break through. I hope Chang¡¯an will report it!¡±

    When Fazheng heard this, his bright eyes widened, he suddenly woke up and exclaimed in shock.

    "Fortunately Ji Chang is careful, otherwise Zheng would almost miss something important!!"

    After Fazheng said this, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Fei and lead his deployment to intercept.

    But it was said that Huang Zhong fought bravely to break through, waving the red demon sword like a whirlwind and lightning, drinking countless blood, and the red demonic sword was strangely red.  At the same time, the three young generals Wen, Guan and Deng were brave and powerful, and the Black Wind Cavalry was as powerful as breaking bamboo. No one dared to stop the Shu soldiers and they withdrew one after another.  When the Tang army was charging to kill, suddenly there was a cry of killing in front of them. Pan Ping led three thousand soldiers and horses to rush to block the way.  When Huang Zhong saw it, he stared fiercely, his horse ran wildly, and he shouted.

    ¡°Shu Zi!! How dare you stop me!!?¡±

    Huang Zhong shouted loudly, the sound was like the roar of a bell.  Pan Ping knew that this old man's sword was still young, so he braced himself and faced him with his sword.  The two horses crossed each other, but Huang Zhong didn't want to fight for a long time, so he suddenly executed the Bird Dance Nine Heavens Sword Style. The sword style was endlessly changing, like a red bird soaring into the sky.  Pan Ping used Pangu's eight postures to block the sky, but it was difficult to withstand Huang Zhong's fierce offensive.After fighting for dozens of rounds, Pan Ping's sword moves were messy and he was soon defeated.  At this time, when Guan Xing saw his enemy, he was extremely jealous and looked like he was crazy. He whipped up his horse and came to kill Pan Ping.  Pan Ping was so depleted that he quickly reined in his horse and retreated.  Huang Zhong took advantage of the situation and rushed to kill him. Pan Ping retreated into the army and shouted sternly.

    "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!! Why don't all the armies follow me and fight to the death!!"

    As soon as Pan Ping drank it, Shu soldiers rushed towards him, fighting to the death.  Tang Bing was suddenly intercepted and could not break through for a while.  At this moment, there was a thunderous sound behind him, and someone shouted.

    "Tang thief!! Don't even think about escaping!!! Zhang Yide from Yan is here!!!"

    Zhang Fei's horse galloped wildly, his eyes were wide-eyed, his tiger's beard was standing upright, his momentum was fierce, and his horse was rushing towards him.  This battle is related to the survival of Shu.  How could Zhang Fei let others ruin a major event? Even if ghosts and gods interfered with the matter, Zhang Fei would still kill gods and ghosts!  !

    Seeing Zhang Fei running towards him from behind, Deng Ai stayed calm in the face of danger and quickly taught Black Wind Cavalry to shoot him with mounted archery.  A wave of arrows burst out, and Pan Ping's army retreated steadily.  Huang Zhong took the opportunity to charge forward with his horse, Wen Shun and Guan Xing were on the left and right. The three of them rushed in front, like a huge spear blade, cutting a bloody path.  Pan Ping's army gradually collapsed.  Deng Ai immediately led the Black Wind Cavalry to charge and kill him.  Zhang Fei's eyes were red when he saw it. When he arrived, the Tang soldiers had already rushed out.  Zhang Fei was so angry that he cursed loudly and led his troops to pursue him.  Huang Zhong led his army to move quickly, looking towards the direction of Yongzhou.  Zhang Fei followed closely, and Shu troops from all armies came in one after another.

    At this time, we were on Chencang City.  Xu Shu squinted his bright eyes and cast a quick glance at Zhang Liao beside him.  Zhang Liao understood, and his eyes flashed with light.  This battle is not only related to the rise and fall of Shu.  For the Western Tang Dynasty, it was also yiy¨¤ng!  !  A moment later, another cannon rang out in Chencang City, and Zhang Liao led his troops to rush out and go straight to the Shu soldiers' stronghold.

    It turns out that Xu Shu had thought earlier that if the Shu army saw that Huang Zhong and others were trying to break through, or if they knew that he had learned about Zhuge Liang's cavalry plan, they would definitely send troops to intercept them.  As a result, the Shu army's stronghold will definitely be full of opportunities.  However, Xu Shu took advantage of this moment and sent Zhang Liao to attack with great force.  It would be great if we could defeat the Shu army's stronghold in one fell swoop.  If not, the retreat of the Shu troops could also help Huang Zhong and others break through.
