A loud "boom" that shocked the earth-shaking sounded across the field and suddenly came into the ears of the Hanzhong soldiers under Chencang City, trembling the eardrums of the soldiers, making them buzzing, and they were inexplicably shocked.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of Hanzhong soldiers looked back and saw fires soaring into the sky in the valley twenty miles away, and thick smoke rolling. The red flames shone the mountains and fields in a radius of dozens of miles as if it was daytime, so many soldiers accidentally saw thousands of escort guards on the east hillside, and there were countless figures of the Xiliang army on the top of the mountain behind them.

This is the case at the east city head, and the same is true at the west city head.

In contrast, the main army that attacked the city head-on was afraid of the situation. No soldiers climbed to the top of the city and fought close to the Xiliang army.

Everything the soldiers saw could naturally be seen by the brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei who were standing in the rear.

At this moment, there were already figures of armored warriors fighting bravely on the city walls on both sides, and there were a large number of people. Especially the elder Zhang Qiang, who was the elder in the east, led the way, stepped on the shoulder of a soldier and jumped to the city wall first. Zhang Qiang, who jumped onto the city wall, was unstoppable, and the four-foot sword edge flew in the air. He killed several defenders in a few breaths, and seized a foothold on the city wall. Then he gained a foothold and rushed left and right, covering the armored warriors behind him quickly climbed the city wall, and then gained a foothold and pressed step by step. The offensive momentum of the escort guards was strong, and it would take a long time to seize the city wall in the east, laying a solid foundation for the army to siege the front.

However, Zhang Lu, who saw the camp burned, was not mentally aware of this. When he saw the camp behind him being robbed, he was shocked and lost his mind. He instinctively drew out his sword and shouted in surprise: "Retreat??????"

"No!" The strategist Yan Pu immediately noticed that Zhang Lu was panicked and stopped shouting without waiting for Zhang Lu to shout "withdrawal". The loud voice seemed to overwhelm Zhang Lu's voice.

"Don't panic, lord. We may not lose this battle!"

The moment he shouted loudly, Yan Pu immediately comforted him. When Zhang Lu's expression calmed down, he continued: "The camp is now lost, and our army has no way out and is a horse and tiger. At this time of life and death, we must never withdraw our troops! Once our army retreats, the Xiliang army will surely rush forward and go out of the city to pursue it; if this is true, our army will inevitably be defeated, and it is still unknown whether it can escape the pursuit of the Xiliang army. For the current plan, our army can only bravely attack the city. The entire army attacks, regardless of casualties, advance or retreat, and swears to capture Chencang City. We must rush to the Xiliang army, which attacks our army's camp, before returning to the rescue and attacking our army under the city. Only in this way can we have a way to live and stay in an invincible place, otherwise we will definitely be defeated tonight!"

"Assiege?" Zhang Lu, who was frightened and pale, was shocked when he heard this and muttered: "Are you going to attack the city at this time? The camp has been lost and the retreat has been cut off by the enemy. If you don't withdraw your troops quickly, and when the Xiliang army gathers around, we will die without a place to bury!"

"Don't be surprised, lord, Chen Cangcheng may not be unable to conquer."

Seeing Zhang Lu's panic, it seemed that he had made up his mind to withdraw his troops and flee immediately, Yan Pu was very disappointed and couldn't help but feel anxious. But he knew Zhang Lu's nature, and the more he was like this, the more relaxed he would be. Only in this way can he alleviate Zhang Lu's panic and calm him down as soon as possible. Hence, he should think about the problem rationally. At this time, you must not be impatient, otherwise it will backfire, aggravate Zhang Lu's panic, and prompt him to take a horse and leave without thinking. Stay away from the right and wrong place as soon as possible.

"Uh, can you still capture Chen Cangcheng?" Sure enough, Zhang Lu was stunned when he heard the sound, and looked at Yan Pu in surprise, with his eyes floating, as if he was quite suspicious of the intention that Yan Pu left behind to persuade him.

"My lord, look at the east city. The great elder Zhang Chuan has led his troops to attack the city tower and gained a foothold. Now he is clearing out the reinforcements of the defenders. If this momentum continues, you can capture the east city tower in a maximum of two cups of tea, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue the defenders on the front city tower. In this way, the defenders on the city tower are unable to do anything, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city tower and capture this city in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, seeing Zhang Lu hesitating and hesitating, Yan Pu sighed secretly and continued to persuade: "Not only the situation on the east city is good, but there are also escort guards on the west city tower.

In addition, the lord might as well imagine that the Xiliang army gathered a total of 40,000 troops in the city. The previous attack on the camps lost thousands of troops, so the Xiliang army stationed in Chencang City had only more than 30,000 troops. At present, the Xiliang army divided its troops to attack our camp, and the troops left by our army to the camp had 3,000 troops. The enemy army captured the camp so quickly, which means that they had many soldiers and horses to rob the camp tonight, at least 10,000 troops. In addition, the 10,000 Xiliang army appeared on the top of the mountain to the east, which means that the Xiliang army left by Chencang City at this moment was only more than 10,000 troops. Is it just over 10,000 defenders? How many troops do our Hanzhong army have? A total of 60,000 troops, five times the Xiliang army guarding the city. Therefore, at this moment, the situation is extremely beneficial to our army. If we don’t take Chencang City at this time, when will we wait?"

Zhang Lu looked around as Yan Pu's story and found that as he said, the defenders on the city tower were obviously insufficient in strength. They seemed to be in a hurry in the face of the siege troops attacking from three sides, and were exhausted from resisting their heads and buttocks. Therefore, Chen Cang City is now in danger. If he adds more effort, he may really capture this city in one fell swoop.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Lu looked back at Yinghong's sky-storming fire, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "The army will attack with all its might. Those who dare to take a step back will be killed without mercy! Siege the city??????"

Da da da da da!

"Who is coming? Stop quickly!"

On the north gate tower, a large group of people had just gone to the south gate to support the guard city, and only more than a hundred defenders were left to guard the north gate. However, as soon as the large group of people left, they immediately welcomed a team of more than 300 cavalrymen and headed straight for the city gate. Suddenly, the small school guarding the city was shocked. While instructing the soldiers to prepare for guarding the city, they shouted loudly.

"Haha! Fortunately, it seems that I was waiting at the right time. At least the north gate has not been lost, and Chen Cangcheng is still in our hands." At first hearing a strong Liangzhou accent from the city tower, Li Li, who was running, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, slowly slowing down the speed of the Golden Beast King, and said with a smile.

Li Zhi continued, "Hurry up and finally catch up. It's worth waiting for us to travel hundreds of miles day and night!"

While talking, Li Zhi rode his horse to the city gate and raised his head to shout, "Where is the captain of the North Gate? The lord is here. You can quickly open the city gate and welcome the lord into the city!"

While Li Zhi was speaking, Li Li drove the King of Jinniu slowly to the suspension bridge, but his eyes were not on the city tower, but looking at the beacon smoke in the city, listening to the noisy shouts and screams.

"Beast Throne Rider!" The Chengmen School was shocked and suspicious when he heard Li Zhi's call, but suddenly saw the familiar golden mount. The scene of him watching the tall figure leave twenty days ago appeared in his mind, and the upright figure of the Beast Throne Rider. This is the lord!

In an instant, the city gate school was ecstatic and shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry up, open the city gate, the lord is back!"

"Ga, gaga????????Bang!"

Before the school finished speaking, the city gate suspension bridge had slowly descended and then landed on the ground. At the same time, the closed city gate opened with a "clang" and dozens of city guards stood on both sides of the city gate and stood in line to welcome the lord Li Li into the city.

This series of skillful movements was almost at the same time as the orders of the city gate primary school. The moment he finished speaking, the city gate had been opened and the suspension bridge had been put down. More than 20 soldiers guarding behind the city gate had lined up to greet him.

In other words, these soldiers knew their lords, and had amazing eyesight and extremely fast reaction speed. When the cavalry approached the city gate, they had already recognized that this was the lord Li Li who returned to Chencang City overnight. However, due to military discipline, they did not dare to open the city gate without authorization. When General Li Zhi, the leader of the lord's personal guards, came forward and shouted, they did not need the orders of the city gate school at all, so they immediately opened the city gate.

These soldiers were just ordinary city guards, but most of them had seen the lord Li Li and respected him as a god. They had absolute prestige and supreme reputation that ordinary people could not imagine, and were deeply loved by the soldiers of the army. As long as Li Li appeared, the military power would automatically return to his hands, and no general in the army could stop it. This was also Zhou Yu's personal experience in Anyi City. Li Li ordered the military power to change his authority accordingly. Regardless of whether he wanted or not, he had to obey it and could not resist it.

"Enter the city!" The moment the city gate opened, the smile on Li Li's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, frowned with a sharp murderous aura in his eyes.

After entering the city, Li Li first jumped from the back of the Jinniu Beast King, then waved his hand and took more than 300 personal soldiers directly to the North Gate Tower.

"Why don't we go directly to the city guard's mansion?" Wang Yue asked in a low voice in confusion after Li Li quickly.

Li Li turned a deaf ear, and then went upstairs and jumped up to the city walls, looked up at the south gate, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in the city is unclear at the moment, so it is not advisable to enter the city guard's mansion rashly. Moreover, the distance from the city wall to the south gate is closer, and you can still observe the situation in the city at any time, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

While speaking, Li Li had already come down from the city and ordered Li Zhi: "Leave a hundred soldiers to take over the north gate, and all the remaining soldiers will follow me to support the south gate. At present, it seems that the south gate is in danger. The Hanzhong army has climbed the city tower. Perhaps the Hanzhong army has broken through the city gate and rushed into the city. Without further ado, we set out immediately and must guard the south gate, otherwise the suspicious plan will turn into a lone and become a laughing stock of the princes in the world!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Li took Wang Yue and others to take the lead. There were still more than 300 soldiers accompanying him, but the North Gate defenders had all replaced them with 100 Jinqiu guards to guard them. Just in case, Li Li left a way out for himself in advance. If the situation was over, he could still return the same way and not be besieged by the Hanzhong army and unable to escape.
