The sudden appearance of the main force of Shu Han in the Battle of Xiangfan made the Shu army in the struggle uncontrollably ecstatic. From Jianye to Xiangyang, even if it was Shuojiang, it took a lot of time. Moreover, this Shu army was personally brought by His Majesty and further stimulated the morale of the Shu army to rise sharply.

"Well? Is Liu Chan here in person?" Du Yu said without any surprise.

"Yes, it seems that this move I'm waiting for is indeed useful." Wei general Ma Long said with a little comfort behind Du Yu.

Du Yu watched the 30,000 to 40,000 Shu troops enter the battlefield. Among them, Wen Yang and Wen Hu brothers were very brave. The Wei army could not stand firmly in the conflict and could only retreat continuously. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it were even as strong as Jiang Wei, even if the heroes did not mention the courage of the past, Shu Han was no longer the Shu Han of the past, and the generals would naturally have a sharp spirit over time. On the contrary, Cao Wei was no longer Cao Wei, and defeat became a habit. The temperament in the army was subtly moved and was no longer as fearless and confident as before.

"Liu Chan's main force has appeared, why is there no movement in the Shu army along the way..." Du Yu was not worried about the rapid offensive of the Shu army in front of him, but he was obsessed with the Shu army that had not appeared.

Ma Longce immediately stepped forward and said, "There is still no movement at this time. I guess he is hiding in the deep mountains and the mountains and steep mountains in the west of Xiangyang are not conducive to our search and interception. It is better to launch an offensive at this time and find an opportunity to catch them all in one go!"

Du Yu looked at Ma Long, nodded and said, "Since General Ma's words, I will give it to the general commander in front."

The Wei generals on this side were as stable as Mount Tai, but the Shu army rushed over and rescued several Shu troops. Fu Qian and Deng Qi fought back and gritted their teeth and fought to the death. The Wei army attacked and killed countless Shu troops, as brave as Fu Qian, and Deng Qi and others were injured and in danger. However, the reinforcements of Shu Han rushed from afar, killing the Wei army's formation into chaos. The Wei people who encountered the Shu army began to retreat. The Wei people who did not meet the Shu army had to adjust their positions accordingly to avoid the lonely army being exposed to the firepower of the Shu people. Under such circumstances, Fu Qian and Deng Qi were lucky enough to survive!

Although Ma Rong on the other side of Xiangjiang River did not have the courage of Fu Qian and Deng Qi, he had an advantage that the two could not reach - the force. Under Ma Rong's command, more than 10,000 Shu troops knew that money could not rescue Fu Qian, but could not return to Xiangyang, so they simply stayed there and set up a formation and let the Wei army attack and kill!

In terms of martial arts and bravery, Ma Rong is not as good as Fu Qian, and in terms of guarding the formation, Ma Rong is a master. The square and round formation is the basis of the defensive formation, but if you want to use it well, you still need to go through long-term hard research and training. Ma Rong is a general who is good at command, but he is often in a situation of fighting fiercely and courage. Now he has let go of his hands and feet, and he will only die!

The Wei people had a large number of troops and had the upper hand. It took a lot of time to break through the Shu army and completely annihilate this Shu army. No matter how fierce the Wei army attacked like a storm, Ma Rong changed the formation and held on forever. Unless the troops were consumed to the point where they could not set up the formation, Ma Rong was confident that he could persist for a while.

When the Wei army suddenly withdrew, Ma Rong was also surprised. He was not surprised to see the Shu army in the distance. His Majesty was not the one who suffered repeated defeats and suffered losses in those days. Not only did he make a series of strange plans, but he also turned the tide at critical moments! It is true that Liu Chan could not appear at the most critical moment every time, but the continuous victory and Liu Chan intentionally exaggerated people in the civilian army, the generals of Shu Han invisibly made some exciting changes in their subconscious intentions.

Persistence until the last moment is not something that can be done by shouting slogans, nor is it a crazy and drunken word after drinking a few bowls of strong wine. When Liu Chan and the Shu army have been widely praised, people always want to recover their disadvantages when encountering difficulties, and always refuse to give in. They always say that they should persist because miracles will happen.

Liu Chan left behind Zhuge Zhan, Zhonglimu and Huang Chong, three teams surrounded Wujun and cut off the water connection between the Wu army and Wei army and Guangling. Zong Yu was in Jianye, Wuyan was in Chaisang, Deng Liang was in Shanyue, Luo Xian attacked Jiangxia, and Xiu Ze guarded Huainan. All of this was arranged, so Liu Chan sent 80,000 troops to Xiangyang quickly!

Rescue is like putting out a fire. Jingxiang has weak military strength. Liu Chan naturally knew in his heart that the key to rescue is speed, because the opponent is Du Yu. After Wang Ji's death, the remaining famous general in the Wei State was Du Yu. Du Yu was so mature and deep, even above Wang Ji. Wang Ji was a long-time general in the court and a senior of several dynasties. He had a close relationship with Sima Zhao. With such status, status and qualifications, he was the number one person in the Wei State after Sima Zhao's death!

So Wang Ji must die. Sima Zhao knew Wang Ji's loyalty, but he knew that his son Sima Yan had absolutely no loyalty. It didn't matter whether Wang Ji was loyal to him or Wei. What was important was that Sima Yan could not call Wang Ji. When Sima Zhao was there, no matter how Wang Ji was slapping, he was under Sima Zhao. But when Sima Zhao died, nearly half of the military strength of Wei would follow Wang Ji wholeheartedly.

Sima Zhao didn't want to leave a great enemy for his children, nor did he want to hand over power to a guy who was not his bloodline. Even if that person was an old friend who had been with him for decades, it wouldn't work. This is the reason why Wang Ji was bound to die. Later generations often speculate that if Wang Ji had retreated bravely or had not had that great power, would he still cause death?

Du Yu knew that he could not do it, and was suppressed by the Sima regime before he was young. He had been a vain for more than ten years and had an official position. He had no hope in the court. The connections and relationships he had worked hard to manage were not as many people as Wang Ji heard of a sneeze. Wang Ji was deeply rooted, and Du Yu was duckweed. The only remaining roots were clearly visible from the water surface. Sima Yan was very relieved about Du Yu.

Du Yu has talents that Wang Ji is not even as good as Wang Ji, but Du Yu cannot achieve Wang Ji's prestige!

Liu Chan led 40,000 people to use Wen Yang, Wen Hu and others as vanguards, and finally arrived in Xiangyang first and joined the battle. With close contact with the Wei army, the Wei army began to gradually collapse. Liu Chan's eyes were filled with wisdom and he was secretly on guard. The Wei army on the battlefield was about 60,000. Including the more than 20,000 Wei soldiers besieging Xiangyang, they looked like *10,000.

After a lot of hard battles, Ma Rong sent from Jiangling and Xiangyang City all dropped sharply, and the two strokes added up to only about 10,000 people. The remaining 15,000 people in Fu Qian's team were negligible. The 15,000 troops that Chaisang arrived first were also lost to most of the attacks of Du Yu's main Wei army. The Shu army on the battlefield did not exceed 17,000. Including the deaths of the Shu army brought by Liu Chan, even if it was a new force, the Wei army had no reason to retreat.

There must be fraud!

At this time, not only did the Wei army in the Fourth Field Army begin to retreat, but no matter how many troops gathered in the Shu army, the Wei army, which had originally thrown stones to attack the city, also began to slowly retreat to the west side of Xiangyang City. Fu Qian, Deng Qi, Yang Ji, Ma Rong and other Shu generals survived from death, and even though they were alive, the dead were difficult to resurrect. Even though they were happy, there was still grief in their hearts.

"The last general is useless, please forgive me!" Fu Qian and others were covered in wounds, and they all turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of Liu Chan's horse.

Liu Chan watched these soldiers fight bloody battles, and his injuries were not light, and his heart was in a state of excitement. If he didn't come today, wouldn't these people die in battle?

"The Wei army is powerful, and it is not your fault that the defeat is your fault. Just bandage the army back and then follow me to fight to the death with the Wei army!" Liu Chan was old, but at this time he was still loud and majestic!

"Your Majesty, the Wei Navy still does not retreat. Can we send our navy to come and support?" He Pan has been observing the battlefield. Seeing the ruins of Fancheng, there were not many Shu troops at the top of Xiangyang City. At this time, the Wei army did not choose to use superior forces to defeat the Shu army, but retreated to the west of Xiangyang City and rely on the mountains to line up. Such strange behaviors are hard to understand.

According to the principle, the entire Wei division temporarily withdrew its troops, and the fierce battle on the Xiangjiang River should also be a temporary rest. The Wei navy blocked the Shu Han navy's road back to Xiangyang/Shuimen and fought to the death without retreating, so a mountain - Wei army - Xiangyang - Xiangjiang River water battle - a unique landscape of the Shu army. Tens of thousands of people on both sides just watched the water battle...
