Sorry for the delayed post, I was hoping to see Sai post their possible reinforcements before I did this!

The 1000 soldiers from the Luoyang Garrison are not available until Engagement II. I removed 500 soldiers from each layer.

With a thundering clash, the armies of Hann and Henan met. The defenders of Xingyang quickly proved their worth, beating back and severely damaging the forces of Hann. But, the armies of Ying Ranzhen was hardly defeated despite their initial losses. They still held a chance to claim victory, but, the morale of the Hann's forces had plummeted. During the fighting, one of their most valued officers had been captured.

Zhang Liang's carriage had been surrounded and overran by the defender's forces. Captured and brought behind the walls of Xingyang, Zhang Liang became Bai Jia Le's captive. Yet, as the dust cleared and the armies made a temporary pause, the forces of Xingyang was startled. To their horror, they discovered their own support commander, Bang Ding, had been captured!

After the first clash over Xingyang, Weihuai Qiu ordered the armies of Hann into a retreat back. Quickly arranging his armies, Weihuai Qiu insured the captives was led away from the battlefield as he he prepared a rear defense. The soldiers of Hann manage to retreat with the majority of their soldiers in tow. But, a later investigation would reveal Bang Ding managed to escape.

Zu Shi was very please, to say the least. He had taken the day. With his soldiers scouting the fields looking for survivors and escorting the prisoners back to their camp. All of them ordered to be bound he gave orders for all of the captured soldiers to be given the choice to join his lord or be executed. When he comes to the commander of the other forces, bound at the wrist he smirks at the man. "You are the famed Zhang Liang? The man who was suppose to spell our doom? You don't look like much. Speak for your life sir."

Armaments are taken, captured soldiers are absorbed, and Liang is captured to be delt with!

"I have no idea what you're talking about," replied Zifang with a shake of his head, "I'm just a weak old man. I may be more intelligent than most, but I'm barely strong enough to hurt a fly."

[Kern]

Zu Shi looks at the man to register his sincerity before laughing at him. "You of all men to tell me physcial strength matters on the battle field? I think not. You have no defence for your life? "

"I only helped Ying Ranzhen because I believed it would diminish the blood inflicted upon my homeland of Hann," replied Zifang with a shrug, "I counseled him time and time again to worry about Hann rather than trying to expand into the neighboring provinces. That he did not heed my advice does not speak well of my persuasiveness." Shrugging again, Zhang squirmed a little, uncomfortable at being trussed up. In a wry tone, he continued. "Well, I sure won't be going to rejoin him after this debacle . . ."
