In Wucheng County, Pang Xi, dressed in armor, stood at the top of the city, his heart was filled with an unspeakable bitterness. In just one month, his army had dropped sharply from 10,000 to less than 1,000, which was a disastrous defeat he had never encountered in more than ten years.

In the distance, there were countless tents in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain. Yan Yan personally led the eight thousand troops to attack Wucheng. Fortunately, Wucheng was strong and tall, which prevented the enemy from continuing to march eastward.

Pang Xi had already realized the reason for his failure, that is, he refused to give up Badong County and divided the troops that had not been dominated by him into two, but was defeated by Yan Yan. Although he knew it in his heart, how could he be willing to give up operating Badong County for many years?

After all, he shouldn't have accepted Jianping County. Although he knew that Liu Jing was using the Dongzhou scholars, he was also using Jingzhou to expand his power. However, his army did not have that big appetite at all, so why was he so greedy

Pang Xi sighed softly, turned around and walked down the city. At this moment, the sound of rumbling war drums suddenly sounded outside the city, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. Pang Xi hurried back to the city wall and saw an army of thousands of people swarming towards Wucheng in black, with flags waving and spectacular.

Pang Xi quickly turned around and shouted: "I sounded the alarm bell, the whole army went to the city to defend."

The alarm bell of Wucheng sounded, and the rapid bell echoed in the city. Teams of fully armed soldiers rushed to the top of the city with murderous intent. In just a moment, two thousand five soldiers took their place, putting bows and crossbows, and were ready for battle.

At this time, thousands of enemy troops had already reached the city, and lined up two steps away from the city wall. The helmets were bright and the armor was bright, the swords and spears were like forests, and a big flag in the middle was fluttering. On the flag, the word Yan was written with a flying dragon and phoenix. Under the flag, a veteran general about 60 years old rode on a majestic war horse with a mountain knife in his hand. The white beard on his chest was floating and majestic. It was the veteran Yan Yan.

He urged him to step forward and point at the top of the city and shouted: "The rioter Pang Xi will die after leaving the city."

Yan Yan's voice was loud and loud, and the soldiers on the city wall could hear it clearly. Pang Xi was so angry that his face was blue and shouted, "Show me an arrow."

The arrows suddenly fell like rain on the top of the city, shooting directly at Yan Yan. Yan Yan is known as the southern sword of Bashu. His martial arts are second only to the northern gun Zhang Ren in Bashu. He used a big knife to dial the arrows. It was not clear from the wind and rain. He slowly retreated with his legs and quickly withdrew from the range of the crossbow.

He shouted again: "Pang Xi, you coward without eggs, I am not afraid of death at the age of 60. Do you dare to fight with me to the death?"

Pang Xi ignored the city, and Yan Yan turned around and shouted: "Come on"

Dozens of soldiers came forward with puppets. The puppets were about one tall, looking like a man, but they were wearing women's dresses. The words Pang Xi were written on the big sign on their heads. Yan Yan's soldiers laughed.

Several people built wooden platforms in front of the city walls. More than a dozen witches and witches performed witch shows on the stage. One of them dressed as Yan Yan, standing on the stage with a big knife in his hand. Another middle-aged man was dressed in a woman's dress and kowtowed in front of Yan Yan, and looked ugly. The big banner on the stage said Pang Xi begging for mercy.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the witch opera was performed wonderfully. Sometimes, monkeys dressed up as Pang Xi to perform monkey opera, and sometimes, Pang Xi wrestled naked sumo, which attracted bursts of laughter and scolding from the soldiers.

Pang Xi was so angry that his whole body trembled. He knew that it was Yan Yan's aggressive plan, but this great shame still made him yell, "Get out of the city with me to kill these dog thieves."

Deng Zhi next to him was so scared that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "I can't be fooled, we will be defeated when we leave the city."

Pang Xi stomped his feet hard and turned to the city. Deng Zhi hurriedly chased after him, "Eunuch, this is their way to provoke him."

............

Yan Yan performed under the city for a day and was full of humiliation. Pang Xi was so angry that his eyes were blew out of fire. He wanted to go out of the city to fight decisively several times, but Deng Zhi tried to persuade him. As night fell, Yan Yan's army failed to challenge and finally withdrew to the military camp at the foot of the mountain.

In the night, the veteran Huang Zhong led an army of 20,000 along the Shu Road and marched towards Wucheng. The army of 20,000 was like a long snake, stretching for more than ten miles on the mountain road. Due to Pang Xi's failure on the front line, Xinling County and Zigui County had no garrisons and were all transferred to Wucheng County. Huang Zhong's army successfully passed through the border and walked quickly. He arrived at Wucheng five miles ahead.

At this time, the captain Liao Hua urged him to step forward and bow and said, "Old General, take the lead in humble position. Go and give Pang Xi the order to open the city to welcome the army."

Huang Zhong shook his head, "Pang Xi is a veteran of Bashu, with a high status and a proud person by nature. If you go to make him go out of the city to greet him, it will make him dissatisfied, and maybe something will happen. Why not go see him directly and give him a face."

Jiang Wan, a military officer next to him, smiled and said, "The old general is indeed well versed in the world."

Liao Hua bowed and said, "I understand the humble position."

Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "The entire army accelerated"

The team accelerated, and soon the forward arrived at Wucheng. Huang Zhong looked at the steep city and ordered the soldiers: "Go and call the door."

The soldiers ran to the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the city, General Huang led the army of Jingzhou to arrive, and the door was opened in the city."

The defenders at the city had already seen a large army coming, and rushed to report to Pang Xi. Pang Xi hurried to the east city and looked down at the city. In the darkness, he saw only the torches like a long dragon, and could not see them at first sight. There were at least tens of thousands of troops, which made Pang Xi secretly shocked.

However, the arrival of the Jingzhou Army made him feel relieved. At this time, he saw more than a dozen generals riding horses approaching and asked loudly: "I am Pang Xi, who is the general under the city?"

A loud laughter came from the city, "Pang Gong, I am Huang Hansheng."

Pang Xi has been dealing with Jingzhou for many years, and of course he knows Huang Zhong. He knows that Huang Zhong was a veteran of the Jingzhou military and is now the highest-ranking general in Jingzhou. He dared not neglect and quickly ordered: "Kaicheng"

The gate of Wucheng slowly opened, Pang Xi personally welcomed it, followed Deng Zhi and other important subordinates. Huang Zhong turned over and dismounted, and greeted him and smiled: "I heard that Pang Gongzheng fought with Yan Yan's army. I am here to assist in the war by the governor of the state."

Pang Xi was overjoyed, and bowed forward, and asked quickly: "Why are the old general, Liuzhou Muke is here?"

Huang Zhong pointed to the distant river and smiled, "At the latest day after tomorrow, Mr. Pang can see the main army of Jingzhou on the river."

Pang Xi sighed softly, "This day has finally come."

At this time, Deng Zhi stepped forward and whispered: "Empress, Yan Yan will definitely come to challenge tomorrow. We might as well follow the plan."

Pang Xi suddenly woke up and hurriedly said to Huang Zhong: "Old thief Yan Yan comes to the city to challenge every day. I am suffering from insufficient troops and cannot respond. With the old general here, we can kill him tomorrow and catch him off guard."

Huang Zhong laughed, "I heard that Yan Yan's sword is not old for a long time, so I want to see who has a more experienced knife."

.........

The next morning, the drum sounded again, and Yan Yan led more than 2,000 people to the front of the pass and shouted loudly. At this moment, the gate of Wucheng opened wide, and an army of more than 1,000 people broke out from the city. He was a veteran, with a strong figure, white beard, and a golden-backed tiger-toothed sword in his hand, riding on a majestic white horse, like a tiger and leopard out of the city.

Yan Yan certainly knew Huang Zhong, and he was shocked. Huang Zhong actually appeared in Wucheng, which means that the army in Jingzhou was coming. He changed his mind and knew that his method of dealing with Pang Xi was not good. He was about to transfer his horse to retreat, but Huang Zhong shouted: "General Yan, do you dare to fight me?"

Yan Yan knew that Huang Zhong was the first strong general in Jingzhou in the past, and now that Zhao Yun is added, he is ranked second in the five tiger generals in Jingzhou. Perhaps because of his own veterans, Yan Yan suddenly developed a sense of competitive spirit, waved his sword, "I am willing to fight the veteran general."

He urged the war horse, and the war horse ran like thunder, and rushed towards Huang Zhong. A cold light flashed, and the mountain knife slashed directly at Huang Zhong's chest with a fierce momentum. Huang Zhong was not panicked, and the golden-backed tiger-toothed sword slashed up. He heard a loud bang, like a thunder sound on the ground. Two big swords slashed in one place, and fire was splashing everywhere, and two powerful forces fought back at the same time.

The war horse retreated, and Huang Zhong felt his arms were sore and numb. The strong sword energy almost made him breathless. He secretly praised in his heart that he deserved to be known as the Bashu Nandao, and indeed he was well-known.

Yan Yan was even more miserable. He had almost no sense of his arms. The knife in his hand almost came out of his hand. His qi and blood were churning, and his chest felt uncomfortable. He suddenly turned around and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Huang Zhong refused to forgive him and shouted loudly, "Take me another knife."

The war horse rushed forward, raised its sword and slashed. Yan Yan had to force himself to fight and face it. The two fought fiercely. At this time, the army in the city began to surge out in large numbers, from the first thousand people to eight thousand people, all wearing the iron bags of the Jingzhou Army. Under the leadership of Deputy General Liao Hua, he was full of murderous aura and waited for a command to kill the enemy.

Yan Yan and Huang Zhong have fought fiercely for twenty rounds. Although Yan Yan's sword skills are sophisticated, he is obviously inferior to Huang Zhong in terms of strength and gradually begins to resist.

He found a flaw and slashed Huang Zhong in the face. Huang Zhong waved his sword to show his character. Yan Yan seized the opportunity at this moment, plucked the horse and fled, and shouted to the soldiers: "Retreat immediately."

Huang Zhong put away his knife, placing an arrow, aimed at Yan Yan's back neck. Yan Yan had no defense, and this arrow must have shot through his neck. However, Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment, relaxed the bowstring. For some reason, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation in his heart and gave up the arrow.

Seeing that the enemy was defeated and fled, Huang Zhong shouted: "The whole army chased and killed him."

"Kill"

The Jingzhou army shouted and killed him like thunder, and rushed to the Yizhou army camp at the foot of the mountain. Yan Yan had originally ambushed thousands of enemy troops at the foot of the mountain and was preparing to ambush Pang Xi, but the Jingzhou army came, causing his ambush to lose its effect. The Yizhou army could not withstand the impact of the Jingzhou army and fled in great defeat. Huang Zhong led his army to chase and kill, killing countless people and surrendering.

In this battle, Yan Yan's five thousand troops were defeated, more than 1,000 people were killed and captured, and only more than 8 people were left to follow Yan Yan and flee back to Badong County in a panic.
