"Master Qiqi, a large number of soldiers and horses have been found fifty miles outside the city, and the banner is from the Han Dynasty!" Zhao

Yun received a report from the cavalry spies below, and immediately reported the matter to Wang Mang.

In the huge city lord's mansion, Wang Mang sat in the main seat of the council hall, and he was not surprised by the news reported by Zhao Yun.

Even in his opinion, Liu Bang's speed of dispatching troops this time was a little slower.

"How many soldiers and horses are there, and who is the leader?" Wang Mang asked while taking the grapes handed over by Daji on the side, stuffing them in his mouth and eating them.

"There are about 200,000 soldiers and horses, divided into twenty phalanxes, and they are advancing rapidly towards our Yuan City.

Zhao Yun said with a serious face: "Among them, there are about 20,000 cavalry, and the others are infantry and archers.

The banner was Cao and Fan, and it seemed that these two people were leading the way. Wang

Mang's eyes narrowed, he put aside the grapes handed over by Daji, got up and said, "The person who came is not good, inform Chen Qingzhi and Gongsun Sheng, and meet the enemy outside the city tomorrow

!" "Yes!" Zhao Yun responded, and then he retreated.

As soon as Zhao Yun left, Daji took Wang Mang's hand with a worried face: "Master, the enemy army is strong, why don't we avoid its edge for the time being?"

From Daji's point of view, 100,000 against 200,000, they do not have an advantage in terms of strength.

If you start a war rashly, if you lose the battle, the result is very likely to be annihilated.

Daji was a woman after all, and of course she didn't want her master to be defeated, so she persuaded Wang Mang to retreat temporarily.

However, Wang Mang smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pinched her chin: "Don't worry, 100,000 against 200,000, our army will definitely win."

It's late at night, so let's go back to our room and discuss the unfinished business of last night.

""Master... Ah"

Daji just wanted to say something, but found that his body was light, and he had been hugged by Wang Mang.

Although Daji didn't know where her master's confidence came from, based on her trust in her master, she still obediently shut up and discussed life with Wang Mang.

For Wang Mang, this battle is just a piece of cake, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

He had long expected this day to come, and he had been preparing for it for a long time.

He was even ready to make a big fuss about this battle and shock the world in one fell swoop!

The night passed quickly, Wang Mang woke up in a fluttering feeling, and the Han army finally came to the outside of Yuan City in the morning after a night of marching.

Although they came in the dust, the well-trained Han army did not appear too tired, and the morale of the soldiers was very high.

200,000 soldiers and horses came all over the world, and the mountains and fields were full of their people.

For a while, the war horses neighed, the spears and spears were in a forest, and the mountain rain was coming

! Cao Shen and Fan Xu, who were the leaders, came to the city to call for battle!

"Ah, tell that Wang Mang Xiao'er to come out, your grandfather Fan Xue is here, quickly call him out to die, hahahaha~"

Fan Xu, who had a rough face, laughed wildly, and provoked under the city with insulting words.

On the city wall, Zhao Yun, who was standing behind Wang Mang, was furious when he heard this: "This damn thief general is so presumptuous, master, please let the last general go out to fight and kill this person!"

Zhao Yunzhong is brave and brave, how can he bear his master being so insulted, he wants to save face for his master.

Even Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this: "Such an arrogant and natural person should indeed be killed on the spot!" Standing

in Chen Qingzhi's position, killing Fan Xu can not only save face for Wang Mang, but also make the other party lose a general, and make the other party's morale plummet, which is very beneficial to them.

However, Zhao Yun, who Wang Mang stretched out his hand to stop at this moment, said lightly: "No need, I have my own decision on this matter."

"It's not interesting to kill one Fan Xu, what I want is to kill those two people together, and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop by the way

!" "Zilong, you lead a thousand white horse followers out of the city with me!"

After speaking, Wang Mang didn't wait for the other three to react, turned around and went down the city wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to go out.

Outside the city, Fan Xu saw that there was no movement on the city wall, and no one answered, so he couldn't help laughing wildly:

"Hahahaha, brothers have seen it, the enemy army is cowering in the city and doesn't even dare to speak!"

Many Han soldiers were worried about the stubborn resistance of the soldiers and horses in the city, but now that they didn't even dare to speak, they were all excited, thinking that they had a chance to win this battle.

However, just as the Han army camp erupted in laughter, the city gate suddenly opened at this moment.

"Squeak~~"

With the heavy city gate being opened, the eyes of Cao Shen, Fan Xu and the Han army were all suddenly focused on the city gate.

But then, they couldn't open their eyes when they were illuminated by a dazzling golden light.

It took them a while to recover.

When Dingqing looked at it, he saw that a group of soldiers and horses were already lined up at the gate of the city.

The leader is a war horse with a divine horse in his crotch, holding a spear entwined with a colorful dragon, and wearing a golden battle armor on his body.

In the sunlight, the golden armor sparkles and makes it difficult to look at it directly.

And the golden light just now was emitted by this armor.

The person who came was none other than Wang Mang!

Such a powerful appearance momentum actually shocked the Han army.

No one expected that Wang Mang would actually go to battle in person

! Cao Shen reacted quickly, and after being shocked, he shouted angrily: "Wang Mang, you have raised troops and rebelled in my Han territory, and even took Yuancheng!

Today, Ben will be ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to crusade against you, and if you are interested, you will lay down your arms and surrender."

Otherwise, there is only one way to die!" "

There must be a reason for going on the expedition, he can't say that Liu Bang took a fancy to Wang Mang's reward before sending troops, that is not justified."

Wang Mang didn't bother to bother with this kind of tongue-chewing thing, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a disdainful tone: "Don't come to this set, just say it when you see the reward given to me by the gold list!"

Then, he stared at Fan Xu next to Cao Shen with a very interested look and asked, "You were going to challenge me just now

?" Fan Xu sneered: "Hehe, what about the general, do you dare to accept the general's challenge?"

Although Fan Hao knew that Wang Mang had won the reward, he felt that Wang Mang could not improve so quickly at once, even if he took medicine, he could not eat it all at once, and he had to digest it slowly.

Seeing that Wang Mang was so young, he didn't believe that Wang Mang would be his opponent.

However, Wang Mang smiled when he saw him agree: "What does it mean that you and I are one-on-one, it is better to let the general next to you fight with me, and we will be two against two!

If I lose, the gold list reward will be yours."

But if you lose, the price will be your lives and the defeat of your 200,000 soldiers and horses!"

No one expected Wang Mang to be so bold and reckless, wanting to fight with the two fierce generals of the Han army!
