Chapter 225: Unmatched

The news of Yang Bai's defeat shocked the entire Hanzhong senior.
It stands to reason that the enemy forces attacked Mianyang through trails, and there could not be too many soldiers and horses. The transportation of grain and grass alone is a problem. Even if Yang Bai ’s ability is limited, if the difference is very different, the enemy is out of town and the enemy is fighting out of town It shouldn't be defeated so fast or even impossible.
"How many people are there in Mianyang?" Zhang Lu looked at the generals who had returned from the defeat and asked with a frown. The other party actually went out to fight in the city, which made Zhang Lu a little weird. Could it be wrong?
"A lot, just this time with our army, I am afraid that there will be no less than five thousand people!" The general bowed his head and said, in fact, he did not see how many people there were, but there should be no five thousand, just eight thousand. The army was defeated by enemies that did not even have half of their own strength. Although Yang Bai was primarily responsible, their generals could not be separated.
"People of five thousand?" Yan Pu frowned and looked at the generals. Yang Ren frowned next to him and thought: "Wei Yan still has to defend the city, and Mianyang will definitely have a defender. So, this is Mianyang The thieves are afraid of no less than six thousand! "
If six thousand people guard against the city, it will not be broken.
Yang Ren raised his head and looked at Zhang Ludao: "Master, the end will think that now I don't know anything about the enemy situation in Mianyang. Rather than dispatching troops hurriedly, it is better to first investigate the enemy's truth and falsehood."
Zhang Lu heard the words and nodded silently. Before that, he thought that there were few people in Mianyang. It was indeed a matter of course. If you knew that Mianyang was real and false, you would not suffer such a defeat. Not only did you defeat Yang Bai, but now the Eight Thousand Army returned only four. Thousands of people, almost half of the damage.
At the moment, Zhang Lu sent a large number of scouts to Mianyang to listen to the truth and truth. At the same time, he sent people to Guanzhong to recall Yang Ang who supported Ma Chao. However, after Ma Chao defeated, he sent people to Zhang Lu for help. Zhang Lu sent Yang Ang to lead Ten thousand troops went to support Ma Chao, and now Hanzhong is facing a strong enemy, and they have already hit the hinterland. They can no longer continue to support Ma Chao.
In the following two days, information was continuously sent back from the direction of Mianyang, Liu Beijun continued to emerge from the valley road and entered the city of Mianyang. Within two days, five or six thousand people had entered Mianyang and the four doors of Mianyang City were blocked. He also did fortifications outside the city, and a team prepared to use Mianyang as a base.
"Master!" Zhang Song was worried about his brother's safety and persuaded, "Then Liu Beiding wanted to hit Nanzheng directly from Mianyang, and now there are still few thieves, and he still asks the protagonist to make an early decision!"
Zhang Lu heard the words and nodded silently, looking at generals such as Yan Pu and Yang Ren: "What do you think?"
Yang Ren bowed: "The last general is willing to lead troops to go!"
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhang Lu nodded and said: "This is for you, twenty thousand soldiers and horses, be sure to force the thieves back!"
These 20,000 soldiers, but they were directly transferred from Nanzheng, which is a large half of the military strength near Nanzheng. Hanzhong is just like this. Zhang Lu ’s strength is only about 50,000. Ten thousand are sent to support Ma Chao. Mengguan, Baishuiguan, Shangyong, Fangling, and Yangpingguan also need to be stationed. The strength of the area around Nanzheng is not enough. The full force is not enough. The remaining 30,000 troops are sent. Are all hollowed out.
This time it was natural to mobilize the army. Wei Yan got the news naturally. Wei Yan once again led the scout to watch the enemy, but was not close yet. He was almost found by the sentry sent by Yang Ren. Wei Yan had to lead his guard to a distance Hiding on a hill farther away and watching, but seeing the military is well-organized and orderly, compared with Yang Bai, it is far from the world.
No more watching now, and went directly to Mianyang with his guard.
"General, how?" The lieutenant general came forward and looked at Wei Yan with a smile.
Last time Wei Yan broke two thousand with two thousand, but his own loss was less than five hundred, but it was a big victory. It also convinced the lieutenant to Wei Yan. This time, only when the other party was Yang Bai and other rice barrels. Easy.
But this time, Wei Yan's expression was quite dignified: "I haven't approached, and I was almost scolded by the other party. Although I don't know who is the general, but watching his military capacity, I am afraid that he will be able to reach the city tonight. Comparable, immediately order the generals to return to the city, block the four doors, and prepare to defend the city! "
Zhang Lu sent troops according to the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, but in fact, after the last World War, Wei Yan had only more than 2,000 people to this day. How can there be tens of thousands of troops, and the city walls of Minyang are low, I'm afraid it's unfavorable for a long time. Now Wei Yan can only expect Liu Bei's main force to arrive in time as agreed, and go straight to Nanzheng. Even if he can't attack, Yang Ren's army can be retreated.
The lieutenant general saw Wei Yan's dignity, and his heart was awkward, and he quickly ordered to arrange for someone to inform the scout sentry outside and the suspected soldiers to return to the city to prepare for the battle.
As Wei Yan said, in the evening of the same day, Yang Ren had led his army to arrive near Mianyang. Seeing that the four gates of Mianyang were closed, the city was surrounded with flags, and the army was standing by. There was no chance, and there was no rush to attack at the moment. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to settle down and take their own guards to explore the enemy's situation near Mianyang.
Wei Yan saw a small team of opponents coming over, and knew that the other party was here to detect the enemy's situation. At that time, he ordered all the soldiers to go to the city and make a strong presence. At the same time, he brought his own guard to the city to meet the opponent.
Yang Ren saw that the enemy was opening the door and left the city, and he was in a hurry, and he quickly took the guards to evacuate at any time, but when he saw that the other party was only coming to a small group of people, he was relaxed, but he did not dare to take care. The shield was in front of him, and he ordered the archers who were proficient in archery to be ready to go. If he had a chance, he would kill a general, but it was not bad.
Wei Yan did the same in the same way. When he was in Changsha, he did not forget how Liu Yi dealt with Han Xuan. On the battlefield, the general who was shot by a cold arrow was never less, and he also experienced the scene at that time and personally After shooting Huang Zhong, since then, Wei Yan has paid special attention to his own safety. After all, Huang Zhong is more capable than him, what about himself.
At the same time, Wei Yan also arranged a good shooter, ready to look at the opportunity to give the opponent a shot.
When the two sides met, seeing that the other side was in the same position as themselves, they couldn't help but stunned. They both understood the other side's intentions. After each of them shouted the other side shamelessly, they waved their hands and let the good shooter stop working.
"In Xia Weiyan, I don't know is the general under Zhang Luyu?" Wei Yanlang said.
Wei Yan ’s name is no longer unfamiliar in Hanzhong. Yang Ren did n’t expect to encounter Wei Yan as soon as he came, and now he said:
Why did General Wei commit my city and kill my soldiers in Xia Yang Ren?

Wei Yan smiled and said: "This Hanzhong originally belonged to Liu Yizhou, when did it become that Zhang Lu?"
"Ridiculous!" Yang Ren said angrily: "That's how it should be. Liu Zhang should come, what should he do with Liu Bei?"
"Huh." Wei Yan sneered: "My lord and Liu Yizhou have the same sect friendship. This world is also the Han monarchy. My lord leads the army to help, what's wrong?"
Yang Ren sneered: "I am afraid that your protagonist Liu Bei wants to embezzle Yizhou?"
"Yes or not, this is all inside the Han Dynasty. As a Han Chen, Zhang Lu doesn't think about his loyalty, but instead cuts his feet on his own. What is the reason?" Wei Yan snorted.
"Liu Zhang killed my protagonist's mother, how can this be counted?" Yang Ren said angrily.
Wei Yanhe smiled and said, "As far as I know, is the mother of your protagonist misbehaving?"
At that time, Zhang Lu's mother had some peace with Liu Yan, and this matter was not a secret in Yizhou, but now that Wei Yan spoke out in public, it was a little humiliating. Yang Ren was furious and pointed his hand at Wei Yandao: "Pixie, you are a general, but dare to come out and fight me alone?"
Between the speeches, Yang Ren quietly compared the gestures in places where Wei Yan could not see. The two shooters silently opened their bows and arrows and waited until Wei Yan came out and shot him.
On the other side, Wei Yanlang said, "Why don't you dare, and someone wants to see, what is the skill of this Hanzhong general?"
At the same time, a gesture was secretly made, and as soon as Yang Ren came out, he immediately fired an arrow.
Yang Ren saw Wei Yan sneering, sneered secretly, raised his gun and patted the horse, Wei Yan also slowly stepped forward, but the two of them were not fast, and moved a little bit to the middle of the battlefield, it looked like it was not a fighting general, but it was ready to go Greetings in general.
The distance was almost the same. Wei Yan and Yang Ren slowly raised their weapons at the same time, with inexplicable smiles on their faces.
Almost at the same time, the archers arranged by the two shot out the cluster of arrows at the generals at the same time.
Seeing this, Wei Yan was shocked. He did not expect that the other party was also planning to do so. He tilted his body on horseback and escaped the arrow cluster.
Yang Renzheng wanted to take the opportunity to shoot Wei Yan, but suddenly he heard the sound of breaking the sky, his face changed, and he couldn't wait to rush forward, his body slipped to the side of the horse, avoiding the dark arrows.
Wei Yan got up first and saw Yang Renzheng hiding his arrow. Without a word, he cut with a knife.
Yang Ren hurriedly raised his gun to hold it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and took advantage of it to stabilize his figure.
"Despicable!" The two weapons were entangled in one place, fighting each other, while looking at each other, scolding.
After a moment of silence, the two simply stopped speaking. Although the tradition of fighting generals began to decline as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were occasionally, and now the two sides are so close, they are worried that the other party attacked themselves and simply used martial arts. together.
Wei Yan's martial arts were pretty good. At first, they were inseparable from Wen Xian. Now they are in their prime, and their strength is at their peak. Yang Ren is the first general in Hanzhong, and his martial arts are not bad. After fighting for more than forty, he was invincible.
The shooters on both sides were also afraid of accidentally injuring their own generals and dared not to shoot arrows at will, and Wei Yan and Yang Ren were both generals of the army. Seeing that the other side was similar to themselves, they were not willing to take risks easily. One move, each returned to their respective camps, facing each other again.
"Hahaha ~" After a while, Wei Yan and Yang Ren burst into laughter without saying much, and each led their guards back. This was the first battle after the two armies met, and it was an indiscriminate outcome, but Next, it depends on its own ability.
