    Zhou Cang, who had been waiting here earlier, urged his horses to gallop back and forth, and dozens of pro-soldiers quickly threw the lit torches into the ravine.

    A lot of flammable materials such as firewood had already been piled up in the ravine, and they burst into flames in the blink of an eye.

    A hundred-foot-long fire ditch lay in front of Yuan Jun like a fire dragon, blocking these fierce pursuing troops.

    Yan Liang's attack was naturally not intended to collide with Yuan Tan. He had already made preparations to withdraw his troops in advance, so when he formed the formation to the north, he ordered Zhou Cang to lead a group of troops and quickly dig out the troops on the way to retreat.  This ditch comes.

    Now that the fire is ignited, Yuan Jun, no matter how fierce, dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

    Fierce flames shot up into the sky, and Yan Liang had to take a few steps back to avoid being affected by the fire.

    At this time, Lu Lingqi suddenly realized when she saw the fire ditch in front of her. Her admiration for Yan Liang emerged in her eyes, almost as blazing as the fire.

    "No wonder my sworn brother retreated before the battle. It turned out that I had already prepared this plan to break off the enemy. Why didn't my sworn brother tell me earlier? I only made my little sister worry in vain."

    Lu Lingqi was filled with admiration but also a bit of resentment.

    Yan Liang smiled and said nothing, his face flashing with a little pride.

    Opposite the fire ditch, thousands of soldiers of Yuan Army were blocked to the north by the fire ditch. They had no murderous intention, but they could only look at the fire and sigh, watching their enemies retreat eagerly.

    Yuan Tan came on horseback with a look of rage on his face.

    He originally wanted to use this pursuit to annihilate Yan Liang in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect it.  The enemy had already anticipated the enemy's opportunity, and unexpectedly deployed the blocking fire dragon in advance.

    Seeing the enemy retreating far away, and seeing Yan Liang standing by the ditch through the firelight, looking at his jokes with dazzling power, Yuan Tan became even more irritated and angry.

    In anger, Yuan Tan snatched the bows and arrows from his troops.  Aim at Yan Liang and shoot with an arrow.

    That sharp arrow carried Yuan Tan's anger and passed through the tongue of fire.  Howling towards Yan Liang.

    Although Yuan Tan is the second generation ancestor, he has been familiar with bow and horse since he was a child, and his arrows are also very accurate.  Shoot straight towards Yan Liang's door.

    Lu Lingqi heard the sound of breaking wind, and instinctively sensed that a cold arrow was coming, and screamed urgently: "Brother, be careful¡ª¡ª"

    Yan Liang did not dodge, as if he did not notice the enemy arrows coming.

    Lu Lingqi was shocked and was about to rush forward to protect Yan Liang, but the arrow from the string had already arrived like lightning.

    At this critical moment, Yan Liang swung his arm. Before he could see his movement clearly, there was an arrow in the tiger's palm in front of him.

    Yan Liang.  In a matter of seconds, Shengsheng caught Yuan Tan's arrow with his bare hands.

    Lu Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and was even more surprised by her adopted brother's quick reaction and accurate judgment, both of which were beyond ordinary people.

    And on the side of the fire ditch.  Thousands of Yuan's soldiers all witnessed Yan Liang's amazing act of catching an arrow with his bare hands, and they were all shocked and shocked.

    "Boy, I want to shoot you Uncle Yan with a cold arrow. Let's do it in the next life."

    A sudden chill arose in Yan Liang's sharp-edged eyes.  He shouted: "Bring me the bow!"

    Zhou Cang next to him was shocked and quickly took off the bow on his back.

    Yan Liang snatched it away without waiting for him to offer it to him.

    The bow is opened like a crescent moon, and the arrow shoots out like a shooting star.

    Only a sharp sound was heard, and a cold light left the string and rushed towards Yuan Tan like lightning.

    At this time, Yuan Tan was horrified when he saw Yan Liang receiving him with his bare hands. When he saw Yan Liang bending his bow and setting an arrow, he thought he was shooting at him.

    In fear, Yuan Tan did not care about the status and bearing of the coach, so he immediately ambush on the spot and hid his head to avoid the arrow.

    The sound of breaking wind roared from beside him, but it passed Yuan Tan three steps away.

    Yuan Tan, who had avoided an arrow, breathed a sigh of relief. When he stood up, he couldn't help but laughed: "Yan Liang, you thief, it turns out that your archery skills are ordinary, but you still dare to show off in front of me"

    Before he finished speaking, Sergeant Yuan¡¯s soldiers behind him were in an uproar.

    Yuan Tan was shocked and hurriedly looked back. When he just turned around, he saw a yellow flag falling down, covering him completely.

    Yan Liang¡¯s arrow was not aimed at Yuan Tan at all.

    That arrow was impartial, and it happened to break the rope of the flag behind Yuan Tan. The broken flag with the word "Yuan" fell down, and Yuan Tan was trapped in it.

    There was a sudden commotion among the tens of thousands of Yuan's troops under General Banner.

    The soldiers on the left and right were stunned for a moment, and they hurriedlyHe hurriedly pulled the flag apart and pulled out Yuan Tan who was covered underneath.

    On the other side of the Huogou, Zhou Cang and other hundreds of Yan family soldiers saw Yuan Tan in such a mess, and they all laughed loudly.

    Even the cold and arrogant Lu Qiqi couldn't help laughing when she saw such a funny scene.

    Yan Liang, on the other hand, held his head high and proudly faced thousands of enemies, with such overwhelming power that Yuan Jun who was watching did not dare to face him.

    "You thief Yan Liang, don't run away if you dare. I swear to take your head."

    Yuan Tan was ashamed and angry. In a rage, he hurriedly ordered Zhang He to bypass the fire ditch and go to take Yan Liang's life.

    Yan Liang's discerning eyes saw the dust rising on Yuan Jun's right wing, and he knew that Yuan Tan was mobilizing cavalry to take his life.

    By this time, the army had withdrawn far away, and Yuan Tan had been accidentally humiliated, so there was no need to stay any longer.

    After laughing three times to show his ridicule, Yan Liangfang turned his horse around and looked south with Lu Lingqi.

    By the time Zhang He's cavalry bypassed the ditch, Yan Liang and his army had already gone far away. Zhang He was afraid that Yan Liang might have an ambush and did not dare to pursue them too far. After following for seven or eight miles, he had no choice but to return without success.

    By this time, the fire in the ditch had been put out, and Yuan Tan had arrived with his own army. After Zhang He met him, he said that Yan Liang was far away and it was not suitable to pursue him anymore.

    What was supposed to be a victory was actually escaped from under the eyes of the enemy, his own flag was shot down, and he was severely humiliated in front of all the soldiers.

    All these things made the eldest son of the Yuan family feel as if his whole body was being burned by the fire of indignation.

    Extremely angry, Yuan Tan immediately ordered the army to approach the lower village of Wancheng, and ordered his troops to be divided to attack and plunder the cities of Nanyang.  In the city that was broken, men, women, old and young were all killed.

    Yuan Tan wanted to massacre the city, and he wanted to use this method of killing to vent his hatred.

    Everyone who listened to it was horrified.

    Zhang He was also startled, and hurriedly held up his hands to persuade: "Elder Master, calm down, our army is coming from afar. If we carry out massacre, it will only arouse the hatred of the people of Nanyang, and they will risk their lives to help Yan Liang resist."

    Hear this advice.  Instead of calming down, Yuan Tan became even more angry.

    "Zhang Junyi, I have issued an order. Just follow the order. Where did you get all this nonsense!" Yuan Tan glared at Zhang He and yelled angrily.

    Zhang He felt ashamed when he was scolded like this in front of all the soldiers. A trace of displeasure flashed through his heart, but he did not dare to express it.

    He had no choice but to endure it, turned his gaze to Xin Pi aside, and signaled him to also advise the eldest son.

    Xinpi turned his head to one side and pretended not to pay attention.

    Zhang He had no choice but to keep silent and did not dare to persuade him again.

    Yuan Tan stared in the direction of Wancheng and said bitterly: "Yan Liang is a thief. I will ask you to repay tenfold for today's humiliation."

    ? ######

    After the humiliation of that arrow, Yan Liang did not dare to fight and retreated directly to Wancheng.

    After the day's trial, Yan Liang had already seen the power of Yuan Tan's shield formation.  He knew that with his current strength, there was little hope of winning the field battle, so the only plan for now was to retreat to Wancheng until Xinye sent the decisive crossbow to the front line.

    One day later, Yuan Tan's army arrived at Wancheng.

    Although Yuan's army has nearly 37,000 troops, Yan Liang's troops are still only 10,000.  Yuan Tan could not completely surround Wancheng with his existing troops, so Yuan Tan set up strongholds at the north and east gates of Wancheng as the main direction of attack.

    Yan Liang originally thought that after Yuan Tan forced the city to attack the stronghold, he would launch a full-scale attack on Wancheng. This was exactly what he wanted to see. At that time, he just relied on Wancheng's strong city to consume Yuan Tan to death.  Under the city.

    But this time, what Yuan Tan did made Yan Liang a little surprised.

    Yuan Tan, who forced the city to retreat, did not rush to attack the city. Instead, he used infantry to besiege the city. However, he separated some light cavalry and continuously harassed the grain road from Wancheng to Xinye.

    In order to preserve the grain road, Yan Liang had to send Wen Chou and Lu Lingqi to attack with cavalry several times to annihilate Yuan Jun's light cavalry. The two sides fought repeatedly on the road from Wancheng to Xinye, with each winning or losing.

    In addition to harassing the grain roads, Yuan Tan also divided his troops to attack Nanyang counties, imitating the despicable behavior of his predecessor Ma Chao and killing them wantonly.

    Fortunately, Yan Liang took precautions this time and moved the people from the northern counties to the south in advance, thus avoiding the previous catastrophe.

    Even so, most of the people who were moved this time were residents of the city, while those scattered in the countryside were not able to move.

    Yuan Tan¡¯s soldiers and horses failed to kill the county town, so he used fire to kill them.The city was burned down, and then they went into the countryside to loot and massacre.

    For a time, the Nanyang area was in flames, and corpses were everywhere in the countryside.

    Wancheng, military mansion.

    Snapped!

    Yan Liang smacked the case angrily, gritted his teeth and cursed: "What a bullshit elite after the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, who has read the books of sages, can actually do such inhumane things, it is really shameless."

    Yan Liang's anger shocked everyone in front of the hall, and anger surged on everyone's faces. They all deeply hated Yuan Tan for what he had done.

    The anger here has not subsided, and the pro-army troops rushed in to deliver the latest military information from the south.

    In the direction of Xiangyang, the Jiangling Army under Huang Zhong's advance from the north has been very sharp and has broken through several fortresses. Its front army has already attacked more than 30 miles outside Xiangyang.

    As for Xiakou City, the siege and assault of Soochow became more and more fierce. Man Chong's troops suffered heavy losses. There were only less than 5,000 soldiers left out of 7,000, and many of them fought with wounds.

    The situation in the south is in trouble, and Yuan Tan's army in the north is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. They are setting fire and killing everywhere, and are rampaging Nanyang unscrupulously.

    The situation facing Yan Liang seems to be rapidly developing in the direction of being "embattled on all sides".

    After hearing the unfavorable news everywhere, the hall fell into silence for a while, and everyone's faces were gradually shrouded in worry.

    Yan Liang clenched his fists, and a hint of worry flashed through his stern eyes.

    Previously, he promised his wife to try to get two months, but now the delay has only been less than a month, and the situation seems to be developing out of control.

    There was a solemn silence in the lobby.

    At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been sitting silently in the corner, coughed a few times.  (To be continued: Piaotian. Registered literature members recommend this work.
