When the county lieutenant heard this, he said: "Lord County Commander, the Shu army outside the city is cavalry, not good at attacking the city, there are 300 people in our city, and we are gathering some young and strong, we should be able to hold it for a while, you can quickly send people out of the city, and quickly go to Wancheng to ask for help, so that the governor can quickly send reinforcements over." ”

The county commander nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, quickly send someone to inform the governor, move all the equipment to defend the city, and call the young people in the city to come and defend the city." ”

Zhang Fei led the army to the city, rode out, looked at the city and shouted: "I am the general of the Han chariot cavalry, and Zhang Yide, the Yan people, is also, don't quickly open the city and surrender!" ”

Zhang Bao urged the horse to step forward and said to Zhang Fei: "Father, the defenders at the head of the city are carrying the equipment to defend the city, I am afraid that they will not surrender, so you can quickly send someone to build a few ladders, and the child will lead the thirty elites to take the lead, and the city can be broken within an hour." ”

Zhang Fei pursed his lips and said: "Hmph, your Lao Tzu roared at Changban Bridge to scare away Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of soldiers and horses in this city, when he heard the name of Lao Tzu, he was not scared to the point of urine, and immediately opened the city to surrender, what other city to attack, who to show his ability?" ”

Zhang Fei looked at the head of the city, waiting for the defenders in the city to open the city and surrender.

As soon as Zhang Fei's voice fell, he only heard the voice of the county lieutenant from the city: "Zhang Fei, you are also a person who is about to enter the ground with half of your body, and you are not in Chang'an to recuperate, what are you doing in Nanyang?" I advise you to go back. ”

"Poof......" Zhang Bao on the side heard this, and couldn't help laughing.

For this situation, Zhang Bao seems to have expected it, it turns out that the county lieutenant in the city, who is only in his twenties, can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, Zhang Fei is old after all, and now it is no longer the era when he dominates the world, and his name can not scare these young people.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Fei listened to the words of the guard, and was furious, and when he heard Zhang Bao's laughter, he was even more angry.

Zhang Bao hurriedly said: "Father, don't be annoyed, I'm laughing at this guard general's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I don't know how powerful your father is." In this way, the child immediately sent someone to build a ladder, take down Thorn Yang and capture this person alive, and give you a breath. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's expression eased slightly: "It's about the same, don't you take down Thorn Yang for me quickly." ”

"Come on, go cut down trees for me and build some ladders."

After instructing the soldiers, Zhang Fei and his son got off their horses and sat on the ground waiting for the soldiers to come over with ladders.

At this time, a soldier came over and reported to Zhang Feiyu: "General Qiyu, just now we saw a soldier riding away from the north gate, it is estimated that he went to Wancheng to ask for help, do you want to send troops to chase and kill?" ”

Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "Chase and kill? What to hunt down? If he had the ability, he would send troops over, just kill him, and let him go to Wancheng for help. ”

Zhang Bao hurriedly persuaded him: "Father, no, that Hu Zhen should not know the news of our army coming now, our army has 10,000 cavalry, he will not dare to come over to fight us, but he is afraid that he will come up with other ways to deal with us." Make haste to hunt down the messengers. ”

Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Bao: "Don't go, you bastard, now it's the other way around, don't listen to Lao Tzu?" ”

Zhang Bao said in a low voice: "Isn't the child afraid that Hu Zhen will know the news and come up with a way to deal with us!" ”

Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "What solution did they come up with?" Even if he delayed for a day and let Hu Zhen get the news in advance, he would not have time to ambush us. It's too late to rebuild Wancheng overnight, what's there to worry about? ”

"If you don't notice, don't notice!" Zhang Bao thought about it and felt that it was harmless to chase or not to chase and kill, so he did not go against Zhang Fei's wishes.

However, after a long time, the soldiers built a few ladders and brought them over, Zhang Bao personally led the troops to attack the city, and the first to fall into battle, the defenders in the city were all county soldiers, they had not experienced the war, and the defense of the city was even more chaotic, but a charge, it was killed by Zhang Bao on the city, and after paying the price of less than ten casualties, he successfully took Jianyang.

At this moment, the sky was dark, and the army entered the city to rest, replenish grain and grass, and wait for the early tomorrow morning, before leading the troops to Wancheng.

On the other side, Wancheng.

At this moment, it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening, but Wancheng is busy here.

After a month of struggle, Wancheng has been surrounded by cement city walls, but the wall is not high, only less than two zhang (Han one zhang two meters four) less, only one zhang eight feet high.

One zhang eight, that is, about four meters three, the general small county town, the county seat is probably so high, but Wancheng is so high can not do it, Wancheng originally had a height of four zhang two feet (ten meters), now it is rebuilt into a cement city wall, and it will be a military town to defend the Han army in the future, so Hu Zhen wants to establish the height of Wancheng at twelve meters.

Twelve meters does not sound high, but in ancient times, it was already the best in the world, because Chang'an City, the largest city in the world, was only twelve meters high.

Today, the city wall has been built four meters high, and it is only one-third of the way to the goal.

Therefore, in order to seize the time, Hu Zhi ordered the construction day and night to successfully rebuild Wancheng as quickly as possible.

In the midst of the busy crowd, suddenly a cavalry rode a horse and headed straight for Wancheng.

"Governor, it's not good, it's not good!"

In the middle of the palace, a soldier ran in with another soldier in a panic.

Hu Zhen was calculating the materials needed to build the city, when he heard this, he put down the rice paper in his hand and asked the soldiers, "Why are you so alarmed?" ”

The soldier's boss said breathlessly: "General, this afternoon, there is Shu general Zhang Fei, Zhang Bao led 10,000 cavalry to Jianyang, the county lieutenant asked you to send troops to ask for help." ”

"What?" When Hu Zhen heard this, his hand couldn't help but tighten, and he knocked the ink stove on the table to the ground.

His Royal Highness arched his hand and said, "General, please give the next 10,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately go to the rescue of Thorn Yang." ”

"It's too late, it's too late!" Hu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Zhang Fei is an urgent person, if the defenders in the city do not surrender, he will definitely be angry and give the order to attack the city, how can he give us time to rescue." There were only three hundred defenders in the city, and the Shu army arrived in the afternoon, and now Jianyang is afraid that it has been falling for a long time. ”

The first general sighed, and said with a sad face: "The Shu army sent cavalry to come, there are no foot soldiers, it is estimated that the main force of the Shu army will not be able to take Fancheng, and we are worried that we will successfully rebuild Wancheng, so we will send cavalry to destroy." Now the city wall has only been built less than two zhang, the project has just been completed three percent, if the Shu army destroys, we are afraid that it will be difficult to construct. ”
