Nanzheng City was occupied by Zhao Yun for two days. During the battle to enter the city, more than 1,000 Hanzhong troops were killed, and the remaining soldiers surrendered. For two days, Zhao Yun was busy reorganizing surrendered soldiers and deploying defenses. Fa Zhengze was responsible for taking over the treasury and sorting out the account books. Nanzheng officials fled and ran away. Even Yang Song hid in his house and couldn't take a step forward.

At this time, Zhao Yun didn't care about liquidating the original officials. He knew that Zhang Lu's army was about to counterattack, and he had to deploy the defense before the Hanzhong army returned to the horse. Fortunately, there were a large number of weapons and weapons in the Nanzheng Army's warehouse, 50,000 Counter bows and crossbows, and 20,000 arrows alone, which was enough for them to defend the city.

In the early morning, Zhao Yun inspected the city as usual. Except for one thousand soldiers he brought to patrol inside and outside the city, the remaining six thousand were used to defend the city.

The city was busy, and soldiers were carrying arrows and weapons. Stones and rolling wood were moved to the city. In addition, there were heavy defensive weapons such as bed crossbows, catapults and stone cannons, all of which were placed in place one by one.

Several generals accompanied Zhao Yun to inspect the city head. One general smiled and said, "This city is worthy of being called a solid city. Although it is not as tall as Chengdu, it is the first city in Bashu and Han. The city walls are all built with bluestone, with two layers inside and outside, which are extremely strong."

Zhao Yun patted the battlements and said with a smile: "It's really strong, but don't worry, I guess the siege can't be fought."

Everyone was puzzled and asked, "General, why is this?"

"Mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, how can they siege the city with peace of mind?"

Everyone laughed and actually forgot Wu Yi's army. At this moment, several scouts rushed from the west. Zhao Yun felt something and immediately helped the battlements and asked loudly: "What's the situation?"

Several scouts stopped their war horses and shouted to the top of the city: "General, the main force of the Hanzhong army is coming here, with about 10,000 people, less than ten miles away."

The news that Zhao Yun was waiting for finally came. He pondered for a moment and ordered: "Open the Xicheng Gate, and the entire army prepares for battle."

Everyone was shocked, and for some reason they wanted to open the West City Gate. At this time, the city gate slowly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and six thousand soldiers climbed to the top of the city, placing bows and crossbows, waiting for the battle.

There was dust flying in the distance, and a black line was quickly coming from Nanzheng City to the west. It was the main force of Wan Hanzhong's army who had rushed back from Dingjun Mountain. Zhang Lu was anxious and rode his horse in front.

Behind him was a large group of cavalry, including dozens of generals and nearly a thousand cavalrymen. They were as anxious as Zhang Lu, and their families were all in the hands of the Jingzhou army. Rather than saying that they were here to attack the city, they wanted to know more about their families.

The overwhelming army rushed to two miles away from the city and gradually stopped. A cavalry rushed back to report: "General, there is only Zhao Yun outside the city, the gate is wide open, and there are no soldiers on the city."

Zhang Lu was surprised. He urged his horse to run to a high ground and looked at the city gate. Sure enough, he saw that the city gate was wide open and the suspension bridge was lowered. A white horse and silver spear general was alone and immediately speared at the city gate. There was no soldier on the city.

Zhang Lu was suspicious. He pondered for a moment and turned around and said to the generals: "Which general is willing to lead his army into the city?"

All the generals looked at each other and showed fear. That was Zhao Yun, and he would definitely die when he went up to challenge him. None of the dozen generals were willing to lead the order. Zhang Lu said angrily: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, so I will push and stop four people like this. What should I do if you wait? General Song? You lead 5,000 people to kill me into the city."

The general standing in front of him had no choice but to go out and clasp his fists and said: "Abide by the orders of humble duties"

The sound of the war drums of the attack on the dongdongdongdong was beaten, and General Song Huan led 5,000 troops to fight towards the West City Gate like a tide. In front of the West City Gate, Zhao Yun immediately spitted his gun and watched the enemy approaching.

Two steps one fifty steps

As they got closer, the attacking soldiers began to slow down. Many people were filled with timidity. When they rushed to fifty steps, Zhao Yun remained motionless. The five thousand troops finally stopped. They stared at Zhao Yun who was alone in a timid manner. Despite the sound of drums, no one dared to rush forward.

At this time, Zhao Yun pointed his spear forward, and the sound of drums suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Thousands of Jingzhou soldiers appeared together, and fired arrows. Thousands of arrows shot at five thousand Hanzhong soldiers.

Hanzhong soldiers were shot and fell down one after another, and several people fell in front of the city gate. Screams rang out of the west city. The sudden attack made Hanzhong soldiers turn around and flee. In a panic, they trampled on each other, crying, wailing, and screaming.

Zhao Yun sneered. With a small test, it was obvious that the Hanzhong army was in a low morale and the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse. This army was no longer their opponent. He turned his horse and returned to the city.

.........

Zhang Lu was furious and swung his whip and pulled Song Huan to the face, cursing: "Bastard, useless things, why do you explain to me?"

Song Huan lowered his head and explained for a while: "It's not that the subordinates are unfavorable, but the soldiers are all like frightened birds, with a low morale and no longer willing to fight again."

Zhang Lu became even more angry and shouted: "Drag it down and kill it."

At this time, Yan Pu hurriedly stepped forward and advised: "General, killing the general in the last battle is not conducive to the morale of the army. Besides, this is not all General Song's fault. The general still needs to be calm."

Zhang Lu also realized that he was manic, so he waved his hand and said, "Push down and beat the ten army sticks."

The personal soldiers mount Song Huan, Zhang Lu looked at Nanzheng City, and his worries were overwhelming. He knew that Nanzheng City was hard to attack. He did not have enough weapons to attack the city. Can he still take Nanzheng City back?

At this moment, a patrolman rushed over and reported loudly: "General Qi, Wu Yi's army is coming to us, less than ten miles apart."

Zhang Lu looked back and looked southwest, his eyes passed through the woods, and faintly he seemed to see the dust flying in the distance. At this moment, Zhang Lu suddenly realized that the moment that determined his fate had come.

"The whole army is in charge, ready to fight," Zhang Lu pulled out his sword and shouted.

Ten thousand troops turned around and began to face the west. Soon, the brigade surrounded from the south of the forest and formed four large square formations, each with five thousand people.

Wu Yi brought all the troops, and the soldiers' armor was bright and the flags were like clouds. The main military flag was no longer the blue flag of the Yizhou army, but the red flag of the Jingzhou army. This proved that Zhang Lu's worries came true. The Jingzhou army had occupied Yizhou.

At this time, those with a little bit of intelligence in Zhang Lu's army knew that they had little chance of winning. The other party had 20,000 troops, and the army in the city had almost the same strength as them. Moreover, the other party had morale and the profit of occupancy, and Jingzhou had obviously gained the upper hand, and many people began to look for themselves.

Wu Yi took the lead and led the army to approach the Hanzhong army, which was more than a mile away. He raised his hand and the team stopped. Wu Yi looked at the city. He saw two more big flags on the city tower, turning from the one that had just become a big flag. This was the code that he and Zhao Yun discussed in advance. Zhao Yun was telling him that the city was ready.

Wu Yi looked back at his army. He pulled out his battle knife and pointed at the Hanzhong army and shouted: "Brothers, kill me."

The earth-shaking war drums suddenly sounded, and 20,000 soldiers shouted like thunder, "Kill" everyone ran along, like a tide, waving their swords and spears to kill Hanzhong Army.

Just in the urn city inside the west gate, five thousand Jingzhou soldiers were lined up in line and ready to go. Zhao Yun immediately closed his eyes in front of the team, listening quietly to the battle outside the city. The sound of drums outside the city rumbling, and the shouts of killing were shocking. The two armies started a fierce battle. At this time, soldiers on the top of the city shouted: "General, the two armies have been fighting in the same place."

Zhao Yun nodded and turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, it's time to defeat the enemy today, come out of the city with me."

The city gate rumbling opens, the suspension bridge is lowered, and Zhao Yun shouts loudly: "Get out of the city"

He swung his spear and rushed out of the city. Five thousand soldiers followed him out of the west city gate. The dust was flying outside the city, flags mixed, drums and shouts of killing resounded throughout the field. Tens of thousands of troops were fighting fiercely. The morale of the Jingzhou army was greatly boosted, and they followed the chief general Zhao Yun to kill the Hanzhong army.

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

In this battle, the Hanzhong army was attacked from both sides and had a low morale. After only half an hour of persistence, it collapsed on its entire line. The soldiers rushed to escape, and more soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

Most of the families of Hanzhong soldiers were near Nanzheng City. They were unwilling to abandon their families and escape, nor were they willing to work hard for Zhang Lu anymore. A spectacular surrender scene appeared on the entire battlefield. More than 20,000 soldiers discarded their weapons, took off their armor, and knelt on the ground and raised their hands high.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Zhang Lu led thousands of guards to flee to the east in panic. Zhao Yun and Wu Yi's troops split up and chased them relentlessly. In the end, Zhang Lu only escaped with less than a thousand people and fled to Weixing County in panic.

Wan Hanzhong was beheaded more than 4,000 people, and the remaining more than 24,000 people surrendered. This means that Zhang Lu's foundation was completely removed from Hanzhong, leaving only more than 15,000 people from Shangyong City.

While Liu Jing sent Wu Yi and Zhao Yun to Hanzhong, he informed Gan Ning and Wei Yan, who were attacking Shangyong by Fei Ge, and Shangyong City could be concluded.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan led 10,000 naval and land troops and several warships to confront the Hanzhong army that occupied Shangyong City for nearly two months outside Shangyong City. Meng Da, the chief general of Shangyong City, and Yang Ang, the deputy general, guarded the city, blocked the water, and confronted the Jingzhou army outside the city.

If we really want to seize Shangyong City and break through the water blockade, it will be easy for the Jingzhou army to get rid of it, but Shangyong City is just a step of restraining the Jingzhou army, which will lead but not attack, and will affect the battle between Bashu and Hanzhong.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan were waiting for Liu Jing's orders. Wei Yan led 10,000 troops to be stationed in Yongnan City, while Gan Ning led 5,000 navy troops to be stationed at the mouth of Dushuihe River, and the two armies echoed each other.

At noon that day, several fast ships arrived from the mouth of the Dushui River and stopped at the dock of Yongnan City. Gan Ning jumped off the fast ship and walked quickly into the city.

"General Wei, I heard that the provincial governor has come." When Gan Ning saw Wei Yan, he asked impatiently.
