    Nanjun, above the city head.

    Huo Jun and Niu Jin were dressed in armor, standing at the crenellations of the city wall, holding the hilt of their swords with one hand, looking into the distance, exuding a strong murderous aura.

    Xiang Lang, the prefect of Nanjun, although dressed as a scholar, still had a sword hanging on his waist, his eyes were like lightning, and his short beard swayed slightly in the spring breeze.

    Two thousand soldiers were on top of the city, each holding a weapon, looking majestic and looking into the distance.  All kinds of defensive equipment were piled on top of the city.

    They had already received the news that Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 to attack Nanjun. Although there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjun, Huo Jun, Niu Jin and Xiang Lang were full of confidence in defending Nanjun.

    Last year, Zhou Yu led an army of 30,000 people, but he also lost troops and generals under Nanjun City. What's more, now, the 5,000 soldiers and horses have gone through blood and fire, and they are no longer what they used to be. In addition, Xiang Lang raised the equipment to defend the city to appease the people, so that Huo Jun could  Defend the city wholeheartedly.

    "Coming!" The yellow dust in the distance went straight up into the white clouds, followed by a group of soldiers and horses.

    Generals are brave soldiers. When they saw Huo Jun, Niu Jin, and even the prefect Xiang Lang, they were not worried at all. The soldiers on the city top looked at the enemy troops rolling in, and they were not afraid at all!

    "Zhongmiao, it seems they are not planning to attack the city!" Xiang Lang said, looking outside the city.

    Liu Bei¡¯s army stopped about three miles away from the city and began to set up camp.

    "The enemy has come from afar. If we attack the city and we wait for work, he will definitely lose his troops and generals. It seems that Guan Ping is not a reckless person!" Huo Jun nodded and said.

    "I heard that Guan Ping is Guan Yu's adopted son, and his martial arts skills were acquired by Guan Yu. I really want to go out and compete with him!" Niu Jin looked outside the city and said.

    "Ha" Huo Jun smiled, "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are four times as many as ours. It is best to defend against the city!"

    "Don't worry, Zhong Miao. Of course I know, it's just a talk!" Niu Jin's martial arts skills are better than Huo Jun's. Since he has not been discovered in Jingzhou, no one knows his name.  Deep down in his heart, Niu Jin was not convinced by the familiar generals in the Central Plains, but he just didn't have the chance to compete with them.

    From Guan Ping¡¯s actions outside the city, we can be sure that he did not intend to attack the city, but Huo Jun did not dare to take it lightly and stayed on top of the city.

    About two hours later, Liu Bei's army finally arrived and set up hundreds of camps outside the city.

    When everything was arranged, Zhao Yun led two thousand soldiers and horses out of the military camp, went to the outside of the city, formed a formation, and then urged the horses to the bottom of the city.

    "Listen to the defenders on the city. I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan. I came to attack Nanjun on the orders of my lord. Huo Jun, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

    "Zhao Yun, if you have the guts, come and attack the city. I'll be waiting on top of the city!" Even if Guan Ping comes to challenge below the city, Huo Jun will not leave the city, let alone Zhao Yun?  In the battle at Changbanpo, Zhao Yun had already become famous in Jingzhou.

    "Huo Jun, you are a courageous rat. Isn't it possible that Liu Cong's men are all local chickens and dogs? Since you don't dare to go to war, then surrender the city obediently. My lord has a good life, so he can spare your lives!"  "

    "Zhao Yun, don't be rude, watch me take your head!" Niu Jin was furious when he heard this, "Zhong Miao, let me lead a team of soldiers out to fight Zhao Yun against San Bai He!"

    "No, this is Zhao Yun's method of provoking generals. How can we fall into the trap?" Huo Jun was calm when faced with the situation. He was not angry at all, "Fire the arrow!"

    The soldiers on the top of the city were already ready, firing arrows at random.

    "Hait turns out that Liu Cong's subordinates in Jingzhou are all courageous rats!" Zhao Yun burst into laughter, waved his bright silver spear, knocked away the arrows that were shot at him, and slowly retreated into the formation.

    "Young Liu Cong, you are a cowardless person!"

    "Young Liu Cong, you are a cowardless person!"

    The soldiers outside the city started to curse.

    The defenders on the top of the city were all filled with indignation, but the opponents were all standing outside the range of bows and arrows, and they had no choice but to do anything.

    "Give me my order and stand firm. Anyone who leaves the city without permission will be killed without mercy!"

    "No!"

    Zhao Yun led the soldiers to scold them for a while, but no one paid attention to them on the city. They did not bring any engineering equipment. The sun had already set, so they had to return to the military camp.

    In the next two days, Guan Ping and Chen Dao, like Zhao Yun, led two thousand soldiers without any siege equipment and came to the city to challenge the enemy, but Huo Jun still ignored them.

    "Zhongmiao, Liu Bei's troops and horses are four times as many as ours, but he doesn't attack the city. It seems that his purpose is not here!"Looking at Liu Bei's actions outside the city, Xiang Lang frowned slightly.

    "Not here? Is it a feint to attack Nanjun, but the real purpose is Xiangyang?"

    "Yes!" Xiang Lang nodded, "After taking Xiangyang, we will attack Nanjun. By then we will become an isolated city!"

    "There are Generals Jichang and Liu Pan in Xiangyang. Even if Zhuge Liang is as wise as the sea, it is absolutely impossible to win!"

    In Xiangyang City, Ma Liang and Liu Pan had already received the news and were ready to defend the city.

    Compared with Nanjun, Xiangyang City is taller and stronger, and it is very difficult to break through.

    However, after Ma Liang and Liu Pan prepared everything, they waited on top of the city for two full days, but still saw no sign of the enemy.

    "What does Zhuge Liang want to do? Is his marching speed so slow?" Liu Pan couldn't help it.

    "Isn't his purpose here?" Ma Liang also frowned. The scouts and Tianwang camp had already sent news. Zhuge Liang was the commander, Zhang Fei was the general, and Mi Fang and Liu Feng were the vanguard. They came to attack Xiangyang, but when they arrived,  Why is there no trace now?

    "Report¡ª¡ª" At this moment, a red marquis came to the city on Pegasus from a distance, "Report to the prefect, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei led an army of 20,000 to attack Zhang Ling!"

    "What, attack Zhang Ling?" Ma Liang was surprised.

    "Ji Chang, Zhang Ling and Deng Ai only have three thousand soldiers and horses. How can we hold it? Let me lead two thousand soldiers and horses to reinforce." When Liu Pan heard that Zhuge Liang was going to attack Zhang Ling, he panicked.

    "No!" Ma Liang hurriedly stopped him, "My lord told me repeatedly that day, no matter what happens, we must just stick to it and not leave the city!"

    "Butdo you have to watch Zhang Ling be attacked?" Liu Pan also remembered Liu Cong's instructions at that time, but he couldn't accept it at this time. "My lord said at that time that Zhuge Liang's troops were approaching Xiangyang City, but now, Xiangyang City  There are no troops outside, the enemy is attacking Zhang Ling!"

    "General Liu, Zhuge Liang has 20,000 soldiers and horses. Your two thousand soldiers and horses will be a drop in the bucket!"

    "But two thousand soldiers and horses defending the city can play a big role!"

    "This" Ma Liang thought for a while and felt that what Liu Pan said was reasonable, "That's good, but you have to remember that if you are blocked by the enemy and cannot pass, you must not fight hard and return to Xiangyang. After all, Xiangyang is a better place than Zhang.  The mausoleum is much more important!¡±
