    These two words seemed to use up all Zhuge Liang's energy.  As soon as Zhuge Liang gave this order, Jianglong and Fuhu troops quickly protected Zhuge Liang and rushed to the city.  Ma Dai rushed to meet him, joined forces with Zhuge Liang, and fled to the north of Chang'an City.  Ma Yi led his troops to pursue him.  At this time, Xu Huang was still fighting with the Shu soldiers, but he did not know that Zhuge Liang had already fled.

    By the time the shower subsided, it was already dawn the next day.  Xu Huang led his army to fight with the Shu soldiers. The battle just ended. Not one of the more than 2,200 soldiers surrendered, and all of them died heroically.  Xu Huang lost nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, and various officials in the court lost countless clansmen and servants.  Chang'an City was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood.  Xu Huang's face was pale, his armor was full of blood, and he was breathing hard.  In front of the Gongde Hall, corpses were strewn all over the place, and pieces of body parts were hanging everywhere. It was like a hell on earth.  After a night of fighting, Xu Huang was almost exhausted and quickly taught the sergeant to clean up the battlefield.  At this time, suddenly there were soldiers reporting urgently. Guan Yu fainted and did not know whether he was alive or dead.  When Xu Huang heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he looked around anxiously. He saw Guan Yu bleeding from seven holes, his face was gloomy, and his breath was extremely weak.  Xu Huang was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he rushed to teach the sergeant like crazy to summon Hua Tuo.  After a while, Hua Tuo arrived and was shocked to see Guan Yu's breath was so weak, so he quickly felt for Guan Yu's pulse.  Hua Tuo's brows were furrowed. After exploring, his face turned gloomy and he sighed.

    "General Guan's previous injury has not healed, and he fought hard last night with new and old injuries. The situation is not optimistic. I can only use golden needles to lock General Guan's eight acupuncture points to stabilize his life. Can he save his life?  It depends on what God will do."

    When Xu Huang heard it, he felt like he was being shocked by electricity, and with a "wow" sound, his soul seemed to be pulled out, his eyes closed, and he fell down and fainted.  Guan Yu and Xu Huang both fainted and passed away. Pang De was also injured and fell into a coma. The army had no backbone.  The prime minister played with Zhicai and died last night.  Hua Tuo urgently asked Zhou Long to take charge of the overall situation.  Zhou Long then asked Zhong Yao and Wang Lang to assist him.  The three people discussed and decided to first teach the soldiers to guard the city closely, and then send soldiers to bring ten days of food. They also ordered Ma Yi, Zhao Tong, Xu Gai and other generals to capture Zhuge Liang and his men.  Zhou Long thought that Ma Yi was of the female generation, and Xu Gai and Zhao Tong were young, so they were afraid of being deceived by Zhuge Liang, which he did not want to do.  But Wang Lang insisted on it. After all, Zhuge Liang was the only remaining court pillar in the Shu Han Dynasty. If he could be captured, he would take Xichuan in the future, just like finding something in a bag.  Zhong Yao also agreed.  Zhou Long saw that both of them were interested, so he obeyed.

    But it was said that Ma Yi led his army to pursue him, but Zhuge Liang led a group of remaining soldiers and defeated the generals and fled towards Qishan Mountain.  On the way, Hua Xiong died.  Zhuge Liang cried out in pain and ordered his soldiers to protect his body. They drove out of Qishan Mountain at starry night until they reached the Xiegu Pass. The soldiers were exhausted.  Zhuge Liang then rested in the pass, and at the same time led others to march to Nanzheng, and ordered Wang Ping and Chen to lead troops to meet them.  Ma Yi accepted Zhou Long's order and led his troops to pursue them. He chased the Shu soldiers until they came to the outside of Xiegu Pass.  Seeing that all the soldiers were tired, Xu Gai hurriedly persuaded Ma Yi.

    "Madam, our army has been running all night and is exhausted. The enemy's army is guarding the pass. We need to be cautious. According to my opinion, it is not too late to station the troops and rest until the strength is restored, and then go in and break the pass."

    Ma Yi heard this and felt that this was true, so he taught the soldiers to take a rest by the river in the sloping valley.  That night, when everyone was resting, suddenly there were shouts of killing from all over the mountain, as if thousands of troops and horses were coming to attack them.  Xu Gai and Zhao Tong were young after all, so they were immediately panicked.  Although Ma Yi was a female, she was extremely determined and shouted loudly to calm the morale of the army.  At this moment, a strong wind blew, and a group of men and horses rushed out, led by Ma Dai.  Ma Dai glared angrily, drew his spear and charged into the army. The soldiers of Tang Dynasty were caught off guard and were killed.  Xu Gai was commanding his troops when suddenly Ma Dai came out from the crowd and stabbed Xu Gai in front of him with a spear, shouting.

    "Shu Zi!! Come and accept your fate!!!"

    Xu Gai's complexion changed greatly. Ma Dai's spear stabbed very fast, and he saw that it was about to hit him.  Suddenly, two long spears were thrust out simultaneously, striking away Ma Dai's gun.  Ma Dai took a closer look and saw that it was Ma Yi and Zhao Tong who were coming.  Ma Dai's face was ferocious, like a wild lion that had gone out of its way. He raised his gun and attacked like a violent storm.  Ma Yi and Zhao Tong quickly twisted their guns to resist.

    Xu Gai calmed down the panic and hurriedly came to help with his ax.  The three of them fought fiercely against Ma Dai.  However, Ma Dai was so brave and powerful that he managed to kill three people in a dangerous situation with one person.  Moreover, most of Ma Dai's offensive was directed at Xu Gai and Zhao Tong.  If Ma Yi hadn't repeatedly fought to the rescue, the two of them would have become dead souls shot by Ma Dai.  When Xu Gai and Zhao Tong first entered the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel timid.  When Ma Yi saw this, he secretly complained and urged to withdraw his troops.  When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty heard the order, they suddenly became confused and fled in panic.  Ma Dai led his troops to cover up the attack, and the Tang army was defeated like a mountain.  Ma Yi cared about Xu Gai and Zhao Tong in her heart, but did not care about commanding the troops. She ran away all the way, and the soldiers around her gradually became separated.  By daybreak, Ma Yi and the other three were left with only a few hundred soldiers and horses, and the rest were either separated or injured by Shu soldiers.  Everyone fled in panic, but there was a long river blocking their way. The river was so fast that it was difficult to cross.  At this time, Ma Dai led his army and came to cut off all retreat.

    "Little sister, you have no way out, why not surrender quickly!  ?  I can plead with Marquis Wu to spare your life!  "

    When Ma Yi heard this, Ying Ling's eyes widened and he shouted sternly.

    "Ma Bozhan, you are so stubborn! If I hadn't come to your rescue yesterday, you would have been killed by my husband!!"

    When Ma Dai heard this, his face suddenly trembled. He stared at Ma Yi with a pair of lion eyes, but said nothing in reply.

    Suddenly, from the east, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.  In an instant, a white flash of light came out from the side of the road. I saw that the general was wearing silver dragon armor and holding a silver gentian spear in his hand. He was none other than the Western Tang Shenlong General, Zhao Zilong!  After a moment, two horses roared. One general in Qinglin armor, and another general in tiger-head brass armor rode their horses to the left and one to the right. They were Wen Shun and Deng Ai respectively.

    When Zhao Tong, Xu Gai and others saw the three people coming, their faces suddenly filled with ecstasy and they all exclaimed.  It turned out that Zhao Yun followed Huang Zhong's instructions and turned away from Yongzhou. He rushed on the starry night and soon caught up with the troops led by Wen Shun and Deng Ai, and the three of them joined the army and marched.  By the time Zhao Yun arrived in Chang'an, the war was over.  Zhou Long hurriedly informed Zhuge Liang of what had happened. Zhao Yun heard that his son, Ma Yi, Xu Gai and other women and children actually led the army to pursue Zhuge Liang.  Zhao Yun was anxious, so he rested for a while to regain some energy and strength, and immediately led a group of cavalry to respond.  Wen Shun and Deng Ai insisted on going with them, and the three of them led their troops and rushed on the starry night, just in time to reach this place.

    When Ma Dai saw Zhao Yun, his expression suddenly became more ferocious, and endless anger poured out of his body.  However, Ma Dai did not lose his mind. He knew that he was not the enemy of everyone, so he gritted his teeth and ordered to withdraw his troops.  Zhao Yun gave a loud shout and rushed off in pursuit.  Ma Dai quickly taught the crossbowmen to shoot arrows to resist.  Zhao Yun waved his spear and arrows, and charged for a while. However, he lacked stamina and reined in his horse.  After all, Zhao Yun has been running around for days, traveling thousands of miles with one person and one horse, and has long been exhausted both mentally and physically.  When the Shu soldiers saw that Zhao Yun was no longer pursuing them, they fled quickly.  Zhao Yun narrowed his sword eyes and watched coldly as Ma Dai led his troops to withdraw, but stopped them and stationed them to rest.

    But he said that Ma Dai led his troops back to the pass and quickly reported to Zhuge Liang what had happened.  When Zhuge Liang heard that Zhao Yun was coming, his expression changed. However, he thought in his heart that Zhao Yun did not dare to pursue him because he must be too weak. He thought that the enemy army would not attack soon, so he felt relieved.  That night, Wang Ping and Chen arrived and led the army. Zhuge Liang was afraid of a long night and a nightmare, so he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated.  When Zhao Yun and his troops arrived the next day, the Shu soldiers in the pass had already withdrawn.

    At this point, Zhuge Liang's clever military plan ended in defeat.  Let¡¯s look at the battle in Chencang. Zhang Fei sent an order to the three armies to attack Chencang with all their might.  Four armies surged towards Chencang City. Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Xu Shu led their troops to guard the city. Arrows and stones were flying on Chencang City. Generals Zhang Fei and Pan Ping led the army forward and commanded the soldiers and horses to fight. The Shu soldiers were brave.  Fearful and aggressive.  Chencang City is empty of troops and difficult to defend, and the situation is becoming increasingly critical.  The two armies fought fiercely and fiercely above and below Chencang City. From dawn to night, the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth.  The sky was filled with wind and dust, corpses and severed limbs could be seen everywhere, and blood was everywhere.  Shu soldiers often become benevolent if they fail, and break through Chen Cang's power in one fell swoop.  Fortunately, the Tang army was able to withstand the Shu offensive with difficulty thanks to Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu and others who fought to the death and inspired the three armies.  I saw that Chencang City was riddled with holes and the female walls were broken everywhere.  Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, Ma Liang hurriedly approached Fa Zheng to persuade him.

    "Father, the night is dark and it is not conducive for the soldiers to fight. I think Chencang City is in danger. Why not withdraw the troops first and defeat it in one fell swoop tomorrow!?"

    When Fazheng heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted sternly.

    "No! Because Chencang City will soon be destroyed, the soldiers of the three armies are full of vigor and vitality. They should break it in one fell swoop and capture Huang, Zhang, and Xu. If we withdraw here and the other army abandons the city and flees, why don't we let the tiger return to the mountains!"  ?¡±

    When Fazheng shouted, Ma Liang's expression changed continuously, his expression became condensed, and he suddenly stepped up to a drum tower, took drumsticks from the soldiers, and beat the drums for the three armies himself.  When Fazheng saw this, he laughed loudly, walked to a drum tower, and beat the drum vigorously.  The morale of the three armies was greatly shaken, the Shu soldiers fought bravely, and the offensive became more and more powerful.  Above the north gate, pieces of fire shot into the sky.  It turned out that Tang soldiers were using rockets to burn down the ladders of the Shu army.  However, the offensive of the Shu soldiers was too strong, and all the Tang soldiers on the city were exhausted and unable to stop them.  I saw Zhang Fei riding a ladder and rushing towards the city.  Huang Zhong was so keen to see it that he quickly pulled the string of his bow and shot suddenly.  The arrow shot out of the air and suddenly hit Zhang Fei.  Zhang Fei heard the sound of breaking through the air and suddenly jumped up in the air like an evil tiger attacking the moon.  Huang Zhong quickly drew the bowstring and shot repeatedly.  Zhang Fei angrily danced his snake spear and stabbed it quickly, and then shot cold arrows, piercing each one.  There was a 'bang', like an evil god falling to the ground. Zhang Fei roared sharply, his tongue fighting with spring thunder, and his sound was like thunder, shocking all directions.  The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were frightened when they saw this. Huang Zhong stared with tiger eyes, his white beard was flying, like a crawling beast, running towards him with a red sword in his hand.  Zhang Fei shouted with a fierce look on his face.  Soon after he said it, Huang Zhong was already approaching. In the midst of lightning and flint, he raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Fei's face.  Zhang Fei put his feet on the ground, bent forward with a lunge, and suddenly swept out a spear.The power of the army was struck by Huang Zhong's red sword.  The fire burst out, Huang Zhong's expression changed, and his whole body seemed to be pulled by a strong and violent force, and he suddenly retreated more than ten feet.  Zhang Fei stepped forward, jumped up, and shot out the snake spear as fast as lightning. In an instant, dozens of spear shadows seemed to be approaching Huang Zhong.  Huang Zhong concentrated his attention and waved his sword to resist. The swords and spears collided with each other, and the sound of metal collisions was deafening.

    "kill!!!"

    Zhang Fei was eager to kill, his eyes suddenly erupted with two fierce lights, and he thrust his spear faster.  Huang Zhong was injured and could not withstand Zhang Fei's furious attack.  The two fought for five or sixty rounds, and saw that Huang Zhong was about to lose.  At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a cut in the air behind Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was not alarmed, and knocked back Huang Zhong with a spear, and then turned around and swept the snake spear. The speed was so fast that it was simply unbelievable.  There was a loud bang, and Zhang Fei's snake spear suddenly hit a painted halberd.  The man who raised his halberd to attack was none other than Zhang Liao.  Zhang Liao's expression changed, and his whole body sparked two sparks on the ground.  Zhang Fei looked fierce and roared.

    "You little bastard, come and kill me if you wait!!"
