Jiang Batian and Zhao Yun were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, they heard the whistling wind sounding above their heads. They hurriedly waved their guns to block them, and at the same time lowered their heads and flashed a shot from Zhao Yun on the sting.

The six-pound small halberd thrown by Dian Wei can weigh hundreds of kilograms, not to mention that this large iron halberd weighing 40 kilograms is more than a thousand pounds when Dian Wei throws it with all his strength?

It fell from the sky like a bombshell, like thunder. With a "click", the gun rod in Jiang Batian's hand broke.

Fortunately, Jiang Batian reacted quickly. In the moment when the horse passed by, a donkey rolled from the saddle and rolled to the ground. The cold iron halberd wiped his back and inserted it into the back of the mount, and immediately dismantled the agile green horse, its skin and flesh, and even its internal organs overflowed.

If Zhao Yun wanted to kill Jiang Batian, it might be just a matter of raising his hands, but his inner pride made Zhao Yun unwilling to take advantage of others. Facing Jiang Batian who fell off his horse, he did not stab the tightly clenched spear.

There is no morality on the battlefield, only life and death.

But as a martial arts practitioner, he should have the spirit of standing upright. If Zhao Yun personally brought Jiang Batian down, he would definitely shoot through his chest without hesitation, but it was not.

Jiang Batian took a breath, and in shock, he used another gun in his hand to protect the vital points, and half-kneeled on the ground and looked at Zhao Yun: "You didn't take the opportunity to kill me?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were as frost and he shouted coldly: "I want to kill you is a dignified battle, which will convince you to death!"

Opportunities were fleeting. Seeing Jiang Batian fallen, countless Shen Juns held up spears to protect Jiang Batian: "Is Mr. Ba safe?"

"Cumming that big man hard!"

Jiang Batian got up, looked at the war horse that was struggling in a pool of blood, and gritted his teeth at Dian Wei with hatred, "What kind of good man is the rat who secretly plotted against him? I will kill him sooner or later!"

"Catch the halberd!"

Zhao Yun poked out his spear and inserted it into the gap of the big iron halberd. He suddenly pulled it up, immediately pulled it out of the body of the war horse and threw it towards Dian Wei.

The big iron halberd flew out more than twenty feet with mottled blood stains, penetrated heavily into the soil, and landed four or five feet away from Dianwei.

"Thank you!"

Dian Wei pulled out his iron halberd and turned around and left. He felt a little regretful about Zhao Yun's mercy, but he could understand it. After all, as a top warrior, everyone has their own principles.

Seeing Shen Jun swarming, Zhao Yun did not dare to fight, so he urged his horse to leave. Before leaving, he advised him: "It turns out that you are the young master of Shen Hou. Zhao Yun here advises you, those who know the times are heroes, and my iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is unstoppable. If you Shen Kingdom can surrender as soon as possible, Tang Duke will definitely treat you well!"

Jiang Batian cursed angrily: "You are so arrogant here. If Fang Li hadn't run fast tonight, I would have stabbed him on the horse. You Tangren would have hurt people with hidden weapons. Are you capable of fighting me upright?"

Zhao Yun was too lazy to argue with him, and he clamped his legs on the abdomen of the mount and urged the horse to leave.

Jiang Batian lost his war horse and was depressed. He was even more afraid of Dian Wei's flying halberd and Zhao Yun's silver spear. He did not dare to chase him, so he could only watch Zhao Yun leave.

When the war ended at dawn, the smoke gradually disappeared.

More than 4,000 Zhou army died in battle, and the rest were divided into two groups in panic. More than 5,000 people followed Gui Lan and Ji into Taigu County. The other five thousand people and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun followed Fang Li towards Dayu Mountain in the east.

Fang Li was a little surprised by this failure. He kept reflecting on his mistakes during the retreat, believing that the main reason was that he underestimated the enemy and lacked understanding of Shen Guo's military strength. He was caught off guard by Jiang Huan and his son, resulting in the loss of troops and generals.

"Sun Tzu said it well. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't know yourself and your enemy, you will be defeated in every battle!"

Fang Li deeply blamed himself. In addition to underestimating the enemy in this defeat, he knew nothing about the military strength of Shen State and believed that he was vulnerable to Guo State. Unexpectedly, Shen State actually had a powerful general like Jiang Batian.

Moreover, Fang Li did not have enough understanding of the Zhou army. Unexpectedly, the Zhou army's military discipline was so bad that it was chaotic when Shen Jun rushed. And Gui Lan was just a guy with a low vision. If he wanted to rule, he would complain and curse if he had no force, and he would put the blame on himself.

Fortunately, the Zhou army was killed in battle, and there was no loss to the Tang State. Even Fang Li's personal soldiers were not killed, which was also something that made Fang Li feel relieved.

"Duke Tang, General Gui is still trapped in Taigu County. Where are we going?" The nervous general Yin Ji immediately asked Fang Li.

Fang Li said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General Gui has five thousand soldiers and one thousand county soldiers in his hand, which is enough to defend Taigu. I will take you to the necessary path for Shen's retreat to set up an ambush, and wait until Shen's retreat will be retreated and ambushed!"

The army was in panic and had a low morale. In addition, Gui Lan and Ji were not in the army, Yin Ji had to follow Fang Li's instructions and follow him to set up an ambush on Dayu Mountain.

Fang Li could not conclude that Jiang Huan would withdraw his troops. In addition to retreating to Shen State, Jiang Huan had two choices, one was to go north to attack Luoyang, and the other was to run to Xingyang.

But Fang Li believed that there were Xun Yu, Chen Deng, Xu Sheng and Zhurong in Xingyang led 10,000 troops to garrison, and it was not easy for the 30,000 Shen troops to break the city. Then he could defend the necessary path for Shen's army to withdraw from Taigu to Wancheng, which would give Zhou Yu more time to attack Shen State.

Just as Fang Li led the Zhou army to fight Jiang Huan, Zhou Yu had already led the three generals Guan Ying, Ma Dai and Cao Xing to bring 40,000 troops into the territory of Shen State, conquered the border Fenqiu in one fell swoop, and then went south to Kemi County, Jia County, Hangzhou Township and other places, approaching Luyang, an important town in Shen State.

Although there are many mountains and rivers in Shen State, they are almost concentrated near the capital Wancheng. The geographical situation is much worse than that of Chiyang in Yu State before, Jiangguan.

In addition, there were only 38,000 soldiers and horses in the State of Shen. With Jiang Huan and his son almost all out of their homes, only 8,000 soldiers and horses were left in the country, and they were all concentrated in Wan County by Jiang Huan's daughter Jiang Cuiping and Xiangbang Shen Xi.

Zhou Yu led his troops south. In addition to being armed with more than a thousand people in Fenqiu, the troops were not bloody. The officials of all counties in Shen State fled, so Zhou Yu was able to advance straight in.

"Jiang Huan didn't retreat?"

After learning that Fang Li was defeated in Taigu, Zhou Yu was a little surprised. "According to reliable information, the total strength of Shen State is less than 40,000. With Jiang Huan leading 30,000 people to fight, the troops in Wancheng are only about 10,000. How sure is Jiang Huan to defend it?"

"Jiang Huan is so sure that he will not retreat. He should be confident that Wancheng will not be lost. He asked other countries for help." Guan Ying hugged her arms in front of her chest and expressed her own point of view.

There was a brand new paper map on the case of the commander. Before the army set off, Liu Ye specially ordered the Metallurgical and Construction Bureau to jointly produce it. It detailed the mountains, rivers and rivers in the territory of Shen State and several surrounding vassal states.

After scrutinizing it, Zhou Yu kept shook his head: "Chen, Xu, Cai, and Deng are either weak in strength or have no friendship with Shen State. After all, our army has obeyed the emperor's edict to fight against the thieves. I think these princes will never cause trouble for themselves!"

"If there were no reinforcements, why did Jiang Huan still stay near Taigu County and defeat... the lord?" Ma Dai scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Zhou Yu's eyes slowly fell on the Wei State bordering the eastern part of the Tang State, and said confidently: "If I was not wrong, Jiang Huan must have asked Weis for help, and he would advance as a retreat, so that Wei State would send troops to attack our Tang State."

When Zhou Yu mentioned Wei, the generals and officers in the entire generals were disgusted. After all, Wei has a population of up to four million and a force of more than 200,000. Its strength is only below the five powerful countries, and it is slightly stronger than Yan, Lu, and Wu. If Wei participates in the war, there are many huge changes in the victory or defeat.

Guan Ying raised her hand and stroked the beard on the corner of her lips, and pondered: "Yu, the predecessor of our Tang Kingdom, bordered Wei for many years, and has been in peace and tranquility, without grudges or grudges. I think Wei Kingdom should not attack, right?"

"Yes, sure!"

Zhou Yu suddenly stood up, and paced back and forth in the commander's tent with his hands on his back: "One time and another time, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in the world! Before Wei and Yu were at peace, just because Yu did not threaten Wei, and Wei's biggest enemy Han has now become an ally of our Tang Kingdom, so Wei has even more reason to invade our Tang Kingdom. Now that our army is on the expedition, Wei Si will take the opportunity to attack and invade."

Guan Ying and Ma Dai all showed nervous expressions: "This... Wei State is powerful. If the Wei army invades, there is no danger to defend in the east, and the Wei army can drive straight in. If the rear is unstable, the army will probably be shaken. Then will we still attack Wancheng?"

"attack!"

Zhou Yu solemnly spit out a word, slowly walked to the gate of the coach's tent and looked at the city of Luyang in the night, and said loudly: "You can open one punch to avoid a hundred punches. If we cannot strengthen ourselves, the Wei Kingdom will always have the possibility of invasion. This time, Jiang Huan was trapped and sent troops, and the country of Shen Kingdom was empty. We were also ordered to attack the unjust ministers. It can be said that the time, place, and people are all in harmony. If we cannot take Wancheng this time and destroy Shen Kingdom, we may not have such an opportunity in the long term in the future."

Guan Ying pulled off a beard fiercely and said viciously: "Or let's have a gamble? Let's see if the Wei army breaks the city faster, or our army breaks the city faster?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes, now it's the speed of fighting! Pinglu has Shen Pei, Ji Ling and Liao Hua, and even if the Wei army attacks with 100,000, it can last at least half a month. The Wei army is still a distance from Henoi or Xingyang, and if we cannot defeat Pinglu, we may not dare to go deep into the territory. Therefore, our army must strive to break Wancheng within ten days. As long as we break Wancheng, we can gather troops to fight, and we will no longer have to be afraid of the Wei army!"
