The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 208

Liu Bei looked at Huangfusong with burning eyes, hoping that he would give him another chance to prove himself.

Huangfu Song thought for a moment.

I think it is better for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to stay by their side. After all, the two leading the army alone ended in disastrous defeat.

Relatively speaking, Guan Yu, who was brave and invincible with one against six, was more trusted by him.

Going to intercept the incoming army from Ngai Hing City does not require too many clever strategies, just be careful and drag the opponent with all your strength.

He believed that Guan Yu was good enough.

After clearing his mind, Huangfu Songfang said to Liu Bei:

"What Xuande said is right!

But right now we should focus on Zhang Yan.

The army from Yixing City only needs to manage to hold off for two or three days.

Yun Chang's bravery is obvious to all of us.

At present, we only need to send Yun Chang to lead a team to garrison and intercept, which will definitely buy us time.

Xuande and Yide can follow this general to attack Zhang Yan with all their might! "

"Here!"

Liu Bei felt reasonable when he heard the words, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Guan Yu's meritorious service is also equivalent to his meritorious service, and the three brothers did not delay.

He has no reason to refuse such a good thing!

Seeing that Liu Bei had no objection, Huangfu Songfang said to Guan Yu:

"Long Yun!"

"The end is here!"

Guan Yu, who was behind Liu Bei, rushed out and clasped his fists.

Huangfusong took a deep look at Guan Yu, and said:

"Yun Chang led five thousand troops to intercept immediately, and it is bound to delay the army from Yixing City!"

"Here!"

Guan Yu hastily expressed his opinion and took the order to leave.

After being taken away by Guan Yu with [-] soldiers and horses, Huangfusong only had [-] soldiers and horses left.

Zhang Yan was not much better than Huangfu Song.

From the initial 5000 army, there are now more than [-] remnants and old and weak soldiers left.

If Zhang Yan hadn't kept telling reinforcements that reinforcements were on their way, the dilapidated city would have long been unable to defend under the low morale.

After arranging for Guan Yu to intercept, Huangfusong stopped hesitating and shouted to the crowd:
"Generals!"

"The end is here!"

Liu Bei and others responded in unison.

"Order the whole army to eat and drink enough, and must break through the city and take Zhang Yan in the shortest possible time!"

"Here!"

Everyone responded and took orders to rectify the troops and horses, without mentioning some arrangements.

……

But he said Zhang Yan.

It was heard that Liu Yi sent [-] troops to rescue him, and within a day they had leveled Hong Bo's camp.

Except that Hong Bo led a team of people to escape early.

More than 7000 soldiers, including Gao Ming and others, were almost wiped out.

Zhang Yan's expression was uncertain.

An indescribable feeling in my heart.

Liu Yi sent troops to support him, which made him very happy, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

If the reinforcements don't come, they really can't hold on.

Now Dian Wei and others have stepped down Hong Bo's troops, the news came that soldiers were pointing at the rear of Huangfu Song's army.

The soldiers of Montenegro are excited!

They seem to have seen the dawn of victory.

Zhang Yan naturally felt uplifted and excited, but at the same time he also felt bitter and uneasy.

The strength of Liu Yi's troops was far beyond his imagination, and he thought he had overestimated them enough.

I didn't expect to underestimate them in the end!

The soldiers of the Black Mountain Army were beaten to the point of misery, and the Han army was as vulnerable as paper to the troops under Liu Yi.

This is the result of Liu Yi only sending [-] troops!
If Liu Yi mobilized in full force, it might only be a matter of time before Huangfusong's tens of thousands of troops could be wiped out.

The combat power of the Han army is far from that of Liu Yi's troops.

They are weaker than the Han army, wouldn't they be reduced to scum in seconds in front of Liu Yi's elite troops?

People are more damned than people.

Shop around and lose it!
There really is no harm in comparison.

At this moment, Zhang Yan's heart was shaken, and his beliefs were shattered.

Is he really inferior to Liu Yi?

Zheng Yi returned to the city and told Zhang Yan that Liu Yi had sent troops to rescue them.

It didn't take long to hear the news of the reinforcements' victory!

In addition to being excited and gratified, Zheng Yi felt more emotional!
How efficient is this?

What kind of elite teacher is this?

The [-] soldiers under Liu Yi are considered to be a rare force in the world.

Even the main force of the imperial court seems to be inferior.

Zheng Yi had observed the Tiger Guard Army and the Beiwei Army at close range, and knew that their combat power was so powerful and terrifying that it was far beyond the reach of ordinary troops.

If only Zhang Yan had followed his advice earlier and joined forces with Liu Yi to attack Huangfusong.

Nor would they end up in such a miserable situation.

Tens of thousands of compatriots would not lose their lives in vain because of Zhang Yan's impulsiveness.

It can be said that their transformation from a good situation to such a field was all caused by Zhang Yan himself.

However, as a subordinate, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zheng Yi looked at Zhang Yan, whose face was cloudy and cloudy, and who was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Couldn't help calling out:
"General, general!"

Zheng Yi yelled several times in a row before Zhang Yan gradually came to his senses.

He looked at Zheng Yi blankly, and said doubtfully:

"What did Yunfei just say?"

Zheng Yi shook his head.

He continued to ask:
"Our reinforcements have arrived, and the crisis is about to be lifted. Why is the general still worried?"

Zhang Yan sighed for a long time, and asked instead:

"How does Yunfei think I am better than Ma Yuanyi?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yi instantly understood that Zhang Yan's distress stemmed from his desire for comparison.

If he told the truth, Zheng Yi felt that Zhang Yan would be even more frustrated.

So he hurriedly persuaded and enlightened:

"Don't be discouraged, General!
Hong Bo's mediocrity is nothing to worry about!

If he faced Hong Bo alone, he would be vulnerable in front of the general.

Winning or losing is a common matter in military strategists, who can be undefeated in life!
The general must not lose his fighting spirit and become depressed because of a setback.

Right now the soldiers need the general to step up and preside over the overall situation.

General, please regain your confidence and lead everyone out of the predicament. "

After being comforted and encouraged by Zheng Yi, Zhang Yan finally cheered up again.

I have a little more confidence in myself.

"What Yunfei said is true!

Now the reinforcements are coming, and they have won the victory and severely injured Huangfusong.

The general should lead the soldiers to fight back, flanking back and forth with the reinforcements to defeat Huangfusong's army! "

Zheng Yi was relieved to see that Zhang Yan did not lose his will, but regained his confidence.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Yifang said:

"The general must not be blindly optimistic, let alone act rashly!"

"Why?"

Zhang Yan was very puzzled when he heard this.

Didn't he just persuade him to lead everyone out of the predicament?

Now I advise him not to be blindly optimistic and act rashly. What exactly do you mean?
Zheng Yi hurriedly explained:

"General, you might as well think about it differently.

If we were Huangfusong, and now the rear was exposed to the army from Ngai Hing City, how would we respond? "

Zhang Yan replied subconsciously:

"Of course it is to send troops to guard against the army from Ngai Hing City, to prevent them from joining forces and attacking back and forth to make dumplings for us!"

Zheng Yi nodded and said:
"The general can think of Huangfu Song, there is no reason why he can't think of it!
If what Yiyi expected was right, Huangfusong might have already sent people to intercept and guard against our reinforcements, just to delay it for an extra hour and a half.

So that they can concentrate on attacking our army, and they will defeat us in the shortest possible time.

Then go back and destroy our reinforcements..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan gasped, feeling a little uneasy.

No wonder Zheng Yi advised him not to be blindly optimistic!
