    A burst of trembling sound pierced through the air and exploded beside Zhang Bao's ears.  Zhang Bao turned pale with fright and narrowly escaped disaster.  Deng Ai's eyes were gleaming, he twisted his gun and pursued him vigorously.  Under Deng Ai's superb offensive, Zhang Bao was killed and retreated steadily. He was at a disadvantage and faced constant dangers.  Tang soldiers from all around came to attack them one after another, but the Shu soldiers could not resist and were killed and fell into disarray.  Seeing that Zhang Bao was about to be surrounded by Deng Ai and a group of Tang soldiers, Fazheng noticed it in time and ordered the few remaining elite Bai'er soldiers to rescue him.  These white-eared soldiers were originally the most elite soldiers of the Shu Han. At this time, the country has been destroyed and the family has been destroyed. The hundreds of warriors who can still survive are all tough men who are loyal to the Shu Han and have excellent martial arts skills.  White-eared elite soldiers wearing white armor and holding broadswords rushed to kill them. They were all like ten, and the attack was extremely fierce.  Zhang Bao was also cunning and took the opportunity to escape back into the crowd.  Deng Ai chased him with his gun, but was hacked back by Bai'er's elite soldiers with swords.  Seeing the white-eared elite soldiers who were huge in stature and kept attacking like wild beasts, Deng Ai shouted fiercely and caused a conflict. The two sides got into a group and fought. The battle was particularly fierce.

    At the same time, under Zhao Yun's order, the thunder cannons under the city continued to fire to intercept the reinforcements of the Shu army coming from all over.  A stream of light flames surged up, swallowing up countless lives. Rubbles flew everywhere and smoke filled the air.  The officers and soldiers of the Shu army seemed to have seen the scene when Chengdu was destroyed.  Under the city gate, Yu Wenke continued to direct the soldiers to attack.  Tang soldiers in each team responded to the order, brave enough to attack the city gate, or climbed up on the ladder.  Fazheng watched the Tang soldiers' offensive like a tidal wave, and the sound of thunderous explosions echoed in his ears. His face was extremely cold, but his eyes gradually became hollow and void.  However, Fazheng still did not give up. He was so strong that he started to drink hysterically.  Under Fazheng's orders, Wu soldiers and Jiaozhou soldiers all rushed to the place where the fight was taking place.  There are many soldiers in Wu Bing and Jiaozhou Bing who are afraid and refuse to move forward.  Fa Zheng immediately raised his sword and personally led several of his close men forward to kill him. He looked like he was crazy and shouted sternly.  

    "The thieves of the Tang Dynasty are cruel and unkind, and if they fail to congratulate us, we will all die without a burial place. Anyone who dares to be afraid and refuses to fight will be executed!!"

    The Wu soldiers and the Jiaozhou soldiers were all there, but there were Shu soldiers carrying crossbows and crossbows everywhere, and no brave soldiers dared to resist them. No one got angry, so they had to fight forward one after another.  Gradually, it was dusk, and the cold blood everywhere at Linhe North Gate seemed to be dyed red by dusk.  Under Fazheng's instigation, although the Shu army was at a disadvantage, it still resisted the Tang army's offensive.  Zhao Yun saw the battle situation on the city and knew that even if he continued to attack hard, it would be difficult to succeed.  Zhao Yun did not want to fight with the Shu army and lose both sides, so he ordered the gold to retreat.  With the sound of gold, thunder cannons fired continuously, and flames suddenly appeared on the city, firing six times in a row.  The Tang soldiers on the city heard the signal and immediately withdrew.  Although the various troops of the Shu army saw the Tang army retreating, they were already at a disadvantage and could not cover up and kill them. In addition, there were thunder cannons as cover, so the Shu army did not dare to advance lightly.  Wen Shun and Deng Ai quickly led their troops to fall into the city. Fazheng screamed loudly, and the Shu soldiers fired arrows hurriedly with crossbows, but with little effect.  After a while, the thunderous noises started again, and the Shu army hurriedly ran for cover.  Wen Shun and Deng Ai drove down the city. Yu Wenke led his troops to respond, and the entire army retreated.

    By the time of the first watch of the night, all the soldiers and horses of the Tang army had withdrawn, but bursts of strong blood were still filling the city and below. The corpses were piled up randomly, but most of the dead were sergeants from Shu, Wu, and Jiaozhou soldiers.  When Fazheng saw that the Tang army was retreating far away, his tense nerves relaxed, and endless exhaustion immediately surged over him.  Fazheng groaned, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground.  When the surrounding Shu generals saw this, their expressions suddenly changed with fright, and they hurried to visit.

    That night, it was said that Zhao Yun returned to the stronghold with a great victory, and Wen Shun and Deng Ai were rewarded heavily and restored to their posts.  All other meritorious people will be rewarded.  All the generals thanked them one by one.  Zhao Yun held his long beard in his hand, laughed loudly, and talked to the generals.

    "It is a pity that we failed to defeat Linhe this time. However, after this battle, the Shu people's strength was greatly reduced and their morale was low, so there is no need to worry about it. We can defeat Linhe and capture Liu Chan in just a few days. According to the opinions of all the officers and men,  Now I have to conquer it urgently, or should I advance slowly?"

    As soon as Zhao Yun said this, all the generals in the tent were very interested and talked about it one after another.  Most of them intend to rush to congratulate them.  At this time, Zhao Yun turned his eyes to Wen Shun and Deng Ai.  Deng Ai's expression tightened and he said first.

    "Return to Marquis Long. At the end of the day, I will see that among the Shu army, there are many foreigners from Jiaozhou and Wu people. The soldiers of the Shu army are mixed, and I have noticed that the foreigners from Jiaozhou and the Wu people are all forced by the Shu people and have no choice but to fight. Nowadays,  According to my expectation, the foreign people in Jiaozhou and the Wu people would not want to risk their lives against the Shu people.

    What's more, although we don't know what happened before, judging from the hasty response of the Shu army today, something will happen not long ago before congratulations.  If this is the case, why should Longhou attack him head-on? He might as well wait and see what happens, divide his army to surround Linhe, and harass it with thunder and artillery to frighten the soldiers and horses in the city.  If this happens, there will definitely be chaos in Linhe City again.  By that time, our army will attack with great force again, and Linhe will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop!  !  "

    Deng Ai¡¯s wordsWhen he came out, Zhao Yun's sword eyes suddenly lit up. He pondered first and looked at Wen Shun.  Wen Shun nodded heavily and answered with cupped hands.

    "What Shi Zai said is very good. And I have always heard that Liu Chan has a very different temperament from his father Liu Bei. He is cowardly and timid, and he only knows how to have fun. Such a coward will definitely be timid if he sees our army besieging the city.  I intend to surrender. Even if there are talented people like Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang, it will not help!"

    After hearing this, Zhao Yun seemed to have made a decision. He laughed loudly and said hello repeatedly.

    "Hahaha!! What your Highness, Shizai, you and others said is absolutely true!"

    So, Zhao Yun quickly issued an order.  The next day, the Tang army was divided into four groups. Zhao Yun led 4,000 soldiers and horses to surround the north gate. Outside the east, west, and south cities, Wen Shun, Deng Ai, and Yu Wenke each led 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard.  The Tang army divided its troops to besiege the city, and each deployed thunder cannons, firing in turn every half an hour.  There were bursts of thunder-like explosions that could not stop ringing.  All the troops in the Shu army were timid, especially the Wu people and the foreign soldiers from Jiaozhou.  Linhe City is in danger, but Fazheng and Ma Liang both fall ill, and no one is in charge of the overall situation.  Liu Chan had always relied on the two of them, but now he was even more anxious and uneasy.  Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and other generals were also at a loss for a while.  As the thunder cannons continued to blast, Liu Chan was in panic day and night, restless in sleep and food.  The Wu people and the foreign tribes in Jiaozhou were in turmoil in the city. Pan Ping and Zhang Bao learned that Liu Chan's face was frightened to death by the current situation, and his plump body had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.  The two of them were afraid that Liu Chan could not control it, so they deliberately concealed it. In order to prevent the aliens from Jiaozhou and the Wu people from defecting and causing rebellion, they both went to draw troops to be on guard, just in case.

    Liu Chan stayed in the dormitory day and night, covering himself with a big cotton quilt, trembling all over and muttering for mercy.  Suddenly, soldiers came to report outside the door, and Nie You asked to see him.  Liu Chan was worried that there was no one to discuss with him, so he was immediately shocked and called in urgently.  I saw Nie You's face full of fear. As soon as he walked in, he cried and knelt down and choked with sobs.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!! You are so thin!!"

    When Liu Chan heard this, he was very moved. Nowadays, all the civil and military officials in the city were worried about the war, and no one cared about him.  Thinking that Linhe was about to lose his life and his life was in danger, Liu Chan burst into tears and screamed.

    "My dear, Gu is about to be captured by Tang thieves!! Gu will definitely die this time, he will definitely die!! Dear, I know that Gu Na's father and King Wen Bufan of the Western Tang Dynasty repeatedly opposed each other, and Wen Bufan hated Gu Liu's family deeply.  , How can I tolerate this! If I¡¯m captured, I¡¯ll be tortured to death! My dear, please save me!¡±

    Nie You bowed hurriedly, his face full of sorrow, and he first offered kind words to comfort him.  Gradually, Liu Chan's crying became louder and louder, and his crying was filled with panic.  Nie You's expression suddenly changed, he held back his tears and whispered.

    "If the king wants to save his life, he has to do it. But I'm afraid that the king would rather die than surrender!"

    When Liu Chan heard this, he was like a drowning man who suddenly grasped a life-saving straw. In a moment of desperation, he rolled down from the bed.  Liu Chan ignored the pain, with a bit of madness and urgency on his fat face, and hurriedly crawled to Nie You, grabbed Nie You and asked.

    "If you have any clever ideas, dear, tell me quickly~~!! There is a reward, there is a reward!!"

    Nie You¡¯s face darkened and he secretly signaled with his eyes.  Liu Chan became smarter now and immediately shouted away the guards outside the door.  Seeing no one around, Nie You said in a low voice.

    "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. I heard that in the past, King Wen Bufan of the Western Tang Dynasty was deeply favored by Lu Gong, the general of Beizhong Lang at that time, and the late king was a disciple of Lu Gong. Lu Gong was smart about heroes and realized that the king of the Western Tang Dynasty was not the best in the pool.  The object was intended to make the king of the Western Tang Dynasty have a good relationship with the previous king. Unfortunately, in troubled times, both of them were heroes in the world. In order to establish the king's career, they fought against each other, which was really helpless.  In my opinion, the King of the Western Tang Dynasty is very attached to the old love. If the King of Shu is willing to help him, he will not treat him badly due to the current situation.  At that time, wouldn¡¯t it be great if the king was granted the title of marquis and would be rich and worry-free?¡±

    When Liu Chan heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened.  It is absolutely impossible to say that Liu Chan does not cherish the position of King of Shu.  But when Liu Chan thought about it, there was no guarantee that he would be here. If he resisted and angered the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, he would definitely suffer all kinds of torture and die a good death.  Thinking of this, Liu Chan quickly strengthened his spirits. After thinking about it, he was still quite worried.

    "Although I also intend to surrender, I'm afraid that the ministers won't want to, and it's hard to suppress the public's hope! What should I do?"

    When Nie You heard this, he was very happy and said anxiously.

    "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. Prime Minister Zhuge and Duke Zhang are not here. All the ministers are looking at Ma Jichang and his filial piety."
