Zhuge Liang looked at the hazy sky in the drizzle.
At this time, his mood was as depressing as the rainy day in Bashu.
The food brought by the guards on the table was still uneaten.
The huge mental pressure caused him to lose his appetite.
Now he regretted his choice to defect to Liu Bei.
The personal guard in charge of his diet saw this and quickly asked the kitchen to cook a can of porridge and served it to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang picked up the porridge and was about to drink it when a soldier entered the hall and reported eagerly: "Report to the military advisor that General Zhang has brought five thousand troops to attack the enemy outside the West Camp."
With a thud, Zhuge Liang placed the porridge bowl heavily on the wooden table.
"Nonsense, who allowed him to do this?
This is against military orders," Zhuge Liang shouted angrily.
It was rare for the soldiers to see the military advisor get angry like this, so they all became cautious.
"When did you leave?"
he asked the soldier.
"About three hours ago."
"Why didn't you inform me earlier?"
Zhuge Liang asked.
The soldier Nuonuo responded, "General Zhang's subordinates did not inform us.
It was when our army Sima was routinely distributing military rations that he discovered that they had all left the camp.
After asking a few old and weak people who were left behind, we found out.
They left three hours ago.
"Quickly pass on my military order.
One thousand men and horses will be left in Fucheng, and the other seven thousand cavalry will follow me to pursue Zhang Fei."
Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that it was too late to send fast horses to intercept Zhang Fei now, and even if he intercepted Zhang Fei, he might not be able to do so.
He had to obey the orders from these fast horses, so he had no choice but to go out on his own.
It would be great if we could stop Zhang Fei, but if we couldn't, we would have to use these 7,000 cavalry to fight Lu Bu.
Zhang Fei led 5,000 infantry and cavalry in the sight of Lu Bu's soldiers, and the 5,000 county soldiers in the ring camp were ready for battle.
Zhang Fei ordered his infantry to form a circular military formation and wait for orders.
He led two thousand cavalry to gallop around the camp.
He wanted to find a gap to enter the camp or find a way to get in touch with the Western Camp.
Zhang Fei, who walked around the camp, did not find any obvious loopholes, only a section of the barrier that was relatively weak in defense.
He immediately ordered his infantry to prepare more giant trees as simple battering rams, and to prepare more torches and fire starters.
His intention was to let Yan Yan of the Western Camp know that someone outside had begun to attack Lu Bu's encirclement, so that Yan Yan could attack Lu Bu's ring camp from the inner circle.
The battle soon broke out.
Two thousand Shu army cavalry were divided into left and right groups and spread out on both wings to prevent other troops from Lu Bu's army from sneaking attacks from both wings.
The remaining three thousand infantry formed a formation and rushed forward.
When they were still more than a hundred meters away from the camp, arrows from the towers on both sides continued to fire, and the charging Shu soldiers fell to the ground one by one.
In order to boost morale, Zhang Fei wore double-layered heavy armor and rushed to the front.
A group of more than twenty strong men carried huge logs and rushed towards the wooden fence made of logs in the camp.
There were a dozen strong men in front carrying iron-reinforced planks, which were used to build bridges over the trenches.
There are dozens of such combinations.
When the soldiers of the Shu army were less than a hundred meters away from the fence, arrows were fired from the gaps in the fence.
These arrows were not only accurate, but also very powerful.
These arrows were all shot by Huben archers.
The soldiers of the Shu army who rushed at the front were hit by arrows one after another.
The strong men carrying the planks set them up and used them as shields.

The sound of "dong dong dong" arrows hitting the wood continued, and a strong man screamed and dropped the board.
It turned out that an arrow hit his finger exposed at the edge of the board.
As for the soldiers carrying the battering ram, they suffered heavy losses.
A group of soldiers carrying huge trees were walking quickly.
Several arrows flew towards them.
Several soldiers in front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground immediately.
The soldiers behind could not lift the giant tree that lost its center of gravity, so they let go.
Their slow-reacting legs and feet were immediately smashed by the giant tree, and they kept wailing.
After paying heavy losses, many Shu soldiers rushed to the fence and set up planks one by one on the trench.
Then the Shu soldiers began to carry huge logs to attack the fence, but when they rushed near the fence, fist-sized stone bullets shot straight out from the shooting holes in the fence, beating the Shu soldiers carrying the logs beyond recognition.
This is the light ballistae of the Huben Army showing off its power.
The torches and flammable objects in the hands of the Shu soldiers were thrown at the fence one after another, but apart from the billowing smoke, no fire ignited.
These wooden fence walls were extremely damp from the rain.
The loud shouts of death and the billowing smoke attracted Yan Yan's attention.
He thought in his mind that reinforcements were coming to relieve the siege.
After asking the soldiers on the watchtower to confirm again, he made the decision to attack.
Thousands of Shu troops attacked the circular fortress from the inner wall, but were still met with intensive arrow fire and tenacious defense.
The ground began to tremble, and Lu Bu led all the cavalry of the three Huben divisions, a total of nearly 4,000 cavalry, including 800 iron pagodas, sweeping in from both wings at this moment.
How could the two thousand Shu army cavalry defending on both wings withstand it?
First, a large number of them were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and then in the cavalry battle, they were killed by the Kaizi Horse and the Iron Buddha, whose skills and equipment were much better than their own.
Most of the two thousand Shu riders were wiped out in just a few moments, and the rest fled in disarray.
Zhang Fei, who was leading his army to attack the circular fortress, had his eyes red.
He shouted loudly and led dozens of cavalry soldiers to kill outside.
When he met Lu Bu, who was leading the charge, Zhang Fei saw it was Lu Bu and was so angry that he almost broke his teeth with hatred.
He urged his horse to raise his spear and was about to come forward and kill Lu Bu.
"Thief Lu, take a shot from your grandfather Zhang."
With a loud shout, Zhang Fei's spear had already stabbed in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu sneered, dodged the blow with a shudder, and swung his halberd at Zhang Fei, who had no choice but to return the spear and block it.
In the fifth round of the battle, Lu Bu's halberd struck Zhang Fei on the back.
The latter's internal organs were filled with energy and blood, and he became unsteady and about to fall off his horse.
Several kidnapping horses took the opportunity to throw their lassoes at him.
Zhang Fei used his last remaining strength to swing the lassoes away one by one, but one of them was still around his neck.
The kidnapping horse galloped out.
Zhang Fei was dragged off his horse.
None of Zhang Fei's personal cavalry came to rescue him.
This was not surprising, because they had all been killed by Lu Bu's army.
After Zhang Fei was captured, Zhang Fei's infantry were instantly defeated.
They could not escape like the cavalry, so they knelt down and begged for surrender.
The few who persisted in resisting were easily killed by Lu Bu's army's cavalry.
On the inner wall of the ring barrier, Yan Yan's several attacks had no effect.
Instead, he lost nearly a thousand soldiers.
Then he noticed that the movement outside gradually subsided, so he had to order the attack to stop.
Zhuge Liang's 7,000 cavalry finally arrived at the West Camp, but the battle had ended for nearly an hour.
He looked at the corpses of Shu soldiers on the ground, and then heard that Zhang Fei had been captured, and a feeling of sadness and anger came to his heart
