Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Lujun, who was surrounded by darkness, and then looked at the valley road behind him. The wounded soldiers had already been evacuated.

After a battle, more than a hundred people were killed and hundreds were wounded. Only about 1,500 soldiers and horses were left.

Looking at the enemy troops again, the number of enemy troops is more than ten times that of the swarming heads and flags covering the sky.

"Yang Feng, I think this containment cannot be completed," Zhang Ning said.

Yang Feng stared at the enemy formation with a fierce look in his eyes and replied: "General, in my opinion, it is better to retreat to the valley. However, the enemy's attack with such a formation shows that there are not many defenders in other places. Maybe this

By then the generals had already taken the west city."

"I hope so. Let's take a look first. We are all cavalry. If they attack, we can leave in time." Zhang Ning said, planning to watch the show.

If he can delay it for a moment, it will be a moment, and if he can stop it for a moment, it will be a moment. Delay and containment are the purpose of King Bohai's order for him to come here.

Zhang Wei looked at the messy battlefield, rode across it, and then looked at a group of cavalry in front of him. He didn't seem to have any intention of escaping, so he couldn't help but ask the deputy general in confusion.

"Why don't they escape? Do you think they still have the strength to fight?"

The deputy general replied: "General, I think you are probably stalling for time!"

Lieutenant General, Zhang Wei couldn't help but wake up.

"It's really like a delaying strategy. You, take three thousand people and drive them away!"

"Got the order!"

With that said, the deputy general immediately ordered his troops and horses, came out of the formation, and went directly up the slope.

Zhang Ning and Yang Feng were condescending and could see clearly.

"General, we seem to have been underestimated. He doesn't think that he can drive us away with only two or three thousand people." Yang Feng said unfairly, obviously being underestimated and very unhappy.

"This is just a trick to lure the enemy. The battlefield is in a mess and is still under his feet. Yang Ang's head is also under his feet. Even if he doesn't know the strength of our army, doesn't he still know the strength of Yang Ang? He sent these people, but

Lure us to attack, and when the two sides are entangled and unable to escape, he will press on with a large army and even seize the escape route along the valley road."

Zhang Ning analyzed the enemy general's intentions, and Yang Feng suddenly understood.

"Then we evacuate?"

Zhang Ning smiled and replied: "Retreat first, then fight."

Yang Feng looked at Zhang Ning, a question mark popping up in his head.

"Lure the enemy to go deep and annihilate them in the valley road!" Zhang Ning answered.

Yang Feng understood this time and fled now to lure the enemy into the valley. When both sides entered the narrow mountain road, the opponent's numerical advantage would be difficult to use, and the backup would be helpless.

Seeing the enemy troops gradually approaching, Zhang Ning immediately ordered a retreat. Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Zhang Weijun saw that the mountain road was narrow and they might not all be able to escape. This was a good time to attack, so he charged immediately.

Zhang Wei felt uneasy when he saw this, and immediately sent another general to lead the troops to respond.

The Baibo army was extremely fast and quickly rushed into the valley. Seeing that the victory he was about to obtain was about to slip away, the deputy general became annoyed and waved his hand, shouting: "Chase!"

——

After Gao Shun and Xu Huang discovered the enemy troops in Ziwu Valley, they quickly led troops to support them, while Li Jue was stationed in Xicheng to prevent Zhang Lu's army from arriving at any time to recapture Xicheng.

Seeing the mountains in the distance approaching gradually, it is difficult to walk on this terrain, but even so, there is still a small road from the West City to the Ziwu Valley Road, which is not built by the government's conscription of labor.

"Filial father, look at this mountain. It is divided in the middle. It seems that the Ziwu Valley is in it." Xu Huang was riding on his horse and pointed to the mountain road.

After Gao Shun made the distinction, he summoned Kanyu officials and asked, "How many roads are there?"

"It's less than ten miles away."

Gao Shun and Xu Rong looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Go forward at full speed!" Xu Huang took the lead in ordering.

A group of cavalry suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the mountain. Gao Shun also ordered to speed up.

"Filial father, in your opinion, who will the Lord send here in Ziwu Valley?" Xu Huang and Gao Shun walked side by side and asked loudly.

"The one closest to Chang'an should be General Ma Teng, but I heard that General Ma Teng captured Chencang, so he should advance from Xiegu Road." Gao Shun replied.

"Anyway, in my opinion, it won't be the old guy Jingzhao Yin Sima. I think of another person, it's possible!"

"Oh? Who?"

"Hedong Governor, Taiping General Zhang Ning." Xu Huang answered clearly. After all, Zhang Ning was his former general.

"You are talking about the Baibo Army. If we count the distance, it seems that she is the closest among the lord's subordinates, eh? Gongming, I remember you used to be the Baibo Army!" Gao Shun said.

"Yes, I work under the command of General Yang Feng." Xu Huang talked about the past and couldn't help but think of the memories of several previous battles. In the end, it was General Zhang Ning who promoted him and sent him to the lord, and from then on he worked bravely for the lord.

"Then this time, won't you be able to see your old friends!" Gao Shun replied.

"New friends and old friends are here!" Xu Huang said with a smile.

The old friend refers to Bai Bojun, and the new friend is naturally Zhang Lujun.

The two of them were galloping along. Very quickly, very quickly, very quickly, they saw the enemy's traces with their own eyes.

After walking for a while, the distance between the two sides further narrowed, and Zhang Lujun's flags were almost all over the mountains and forests.

"Filial father, look, they seem to be surrounding the crossing. Could it be that they have already withdrawn?"

Gao Shun was observing the scenery ahead and replied: "It doesn't matter whether we withdraw or not. When our army arrives here, we can easily capture the west city of Guancheng. The next step is to annihilate the Hanzhong rebels. If we encounter them, we will naturally not be able to avoid them.

Gongming, the enemy army is strong, and I have a plan!"

"Oh? What's the plan?" It seems that the enemy's strength is still very large.

"Look there!" Gao Shun pointed. There is a small mountain in the southwest of the valley road.

"The war is about to begin, so don't sell out!" Xu Huang complained.

"The cavalry going uphill is not good for our army. Why don't you go to the mountain to ambush, and I will lure the enemy troops from the bottom of the mountain. What will happen if the Tiefu Tu takes advantage of the mountain to rush down?"

Xu Huang knew without thinking that the picture was so beautiful!

"It makes some sense, but you can agree that if the enemies trapped in the camp can't survive, they must be lured over and not monopolized!" Xu Huang was also wary.

Gao Shun smiled helplessly, Xu Gongming actually couldn't trust himself. With his own temperament, how could he make fun of the war?

"It's a deal!" Gao Shun said.

The two sides made up their minds, Xu Huang immediately changed direction and led his troops towards the mountain, while Gao Shun strengthened his momentum and went straight towards Zhang Lu's army.

"Report——"

"General, unknown troops were found in the rear!"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he was shocked, how could it be possible? Where did the troops and horses from the rear come from? Whose troops and horses were there?

Zhang Wei asked three questions, but unfortunately no one could answer, but the bad premonition in his heart gradually became confirmed: Xicheng is in danger!

How is this possible! The enemy troops on Xiegu Road have not yet entered the army, the Qingqi troops in Ziwu Valley have just fought their way out of the valley, and the further west city has actually been lost?

"Visible flag?"

"High!" the sentry replied.

"Gao? Who could this general named Gao be?" Zhang Wei asked himself, searching for answers in his mind.

The person who could be sent to attack Hanzhong cannot be an unknown person. The person named Gao could be Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan?

Wasn't Yuan Shao defeated? Did he want to march into Hanzhong after his defeat?

The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more unbelievable it became. After much deliberation, he still couldn't find an answer, so he ordered: "Pang Sima! Lead your cavalry to test it out. If you lose, you can lure him here!"

Pang Sima was a tall and strong man, riding a very tall northern horse. After receiving the order, he led a group of men and horses and left the formation.

Not long after, Gao Shun, who was advancing, saw soldiers and horses coming towards him.

"Don't hesitate, just charge and kill!" Gao Shun said the military order in a nonchalant manner without mobilization.

The soldiers in the trapped camp silently stepped forward and increased their speed. Although they were not professional cavalry, they still had a solid grasp of riding skills. Especially equipped with saddle stirrups, their ability to fight on horseback was greatly improved.

Pang Sima was leading the way with a tall horse and a big ax in his hand. When he saw the enemy clearly, countless thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.

Surprise, shock, envy, covet.

What kind of troops and horses are these? The equipment is so well-equipped! I am afraid that even the most elite troops under Liu Yan's command cannot compare with them.

He instinctively felt that the combat effectiveness of such a troop would definitely not be bad. He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Pang Simale turned his horse's head and fled backwards.

Gao Shun looked confused. He hadn't even started a fight yet, but he had broken the enemy's courage with just one appearance?

"How long did it take for my lord to give me this powerful armor?" Gao Shun sighed.

Pan Sima returned to the formation and said directly to Zhang Wei: "General, the enemy is well-equipped and we are no match for him!"

Zhang Wei glanced at Pang Sima. There were no signs of fighting on his hand, but he was sweating profusely, which was true.

"I don't think there are many enemy troops. It's better to attack directly with a large army. We will definitely win!" Pang Sima suggested.

Zhang Wei glanced at him, and the army pressed forward, of course, but it was just a small army, so what?

Zhang Wei still felt that Xicheng was important.
