The hard bone in the city is the military camp, and the 1,000 soldiers guarding the northern city are basically in the barracks, and there are less than 50 people at the head of the city.

The lights were bright in front of the gate of the barracks, and Zhang Yun led the soldiers to lurk fifty paces away, at this time, the two soldiers standing guard at the gate fell almost at the same time, and two black shadows appeared behind them and opened the camp gate.

"Be quiet!"

Zhang Yun led 2,000 soldiers into the barracks silently, and the gate of the barracks was slammed shut.

.........

At this time, 20,000 cavalry had appeared three miles away from the barracks, and in the dark, they clearly saw the barracks in the wilderness ahead, Pei Xin's eyes were solemn, staring at the head of Nanzheng City.

At this moment, two rockets rose into the air at the head of the city, and the bright red flames drew an arc in the air.

Pei Xin coldly ordered: "The whole army will attack and completely destroy the enemy army!" ”

The 20,000 cavalry began to gallop, their swords unsheathed, their spears straightened, and their murderous spirit began to burst out.

The soldiers grew faster and faster, and the ground began to tremble.

The officers and men of the Hanzhong army in the barracks were awakened by the muffled thunder on the horizon, they felt that the earth was trembling, they were at a loss, they stood up and walked out of the big tent, and looked around, they had not fought with the cavalry, and they did not know that it was the cavalry who had killed.

Cao Liwei was also awakened, but he reacted, stood up sharply, and said sharply: "Ring the alarm bell!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried alarm bell rang outside the barracks gate, 'Dang! While! While!

When the soldiers in the barracks were panicking, suddenly, as if a landslide and the ground cracked, 20,000 cavalry entered the camp from both sides, as if the Yellow River bursting the embankment instantly engulfed the barracks.

The soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and Cao Liwei had already turned on his horse and shouted: "Withdraw to the city!" Withdraw to the city! ”

He led a large number of soldiers to the county seat, and only by escaping into the county seat could they survive.

The county seat was very close to the military camp, only one mile, and in just a moment, Cao Liwei led the army to run under the city wall.

"Open the door now!" Cao Liwei shouted.

Zhang Yun aimed, the entire army was only one of him on horseback, as soon as the string was loosened, a wolf tooth arrow shot out like lightning, Cao Liwei couldn't dodge, the arrow hit his left shoulder, the armor-piercing arrow penetrated his chain mail, Cao Liwei screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.

Suddenly the city was full of arrows. The soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were caught off guard and fell one after another with arrows.

"Surrender or kill!"

In the distance, the soldiers shouted faintly in the barracks, and the main general, Pei Xin, saw that the enemy army had been completely defeated, so he gave the order to accept surrender.

At this time, Yang Xuanying led 5,000 cavalry to cover up from behind, thousands of Han Chinese soldiers had no way to retreat, the commander did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he did not know who took the lead first, and the soldiers took off their armor one after another, threw away their weapons, and knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.

The battle lasted only half an hour before it ended, and the sneak attack of 20,000 iron cavalry crushed the Hanzhong army like a devastating force, killing more than 3,000 people, more than 10,000 surrenderers, and more than 1,000 people fled in the darkness without a trace.

As soon as it was daylight, thousands of peasants arrived from all directions, escorting the captured fugitive soldiers, who hid in the homes of the peasants in an attempt to escape the cavalry, but were captured by the peasants.

After Cao Liwei took office, the military discipline was lax, the farmers near the barracks became the biggest victims, stealing chickens and dogs were trivial, peasant women and women were repeatedly violated, and the nearby farmers hated the soldiers to the core, so the soldiers fled into the village, which immediately triggered the peasants' siege of them, these soldiers took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and were unarmed, and hundreds of soldiers were killed on the spot by angry peasants.

The fugitive soldiers who were escorted over were also basically useless, beaten to the point that their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they were covered in blood.

Pei Xin ordered people to pacify the villagers, and asked the soldiers to bandage the wounds of the wounded deserters, at this moment, Nanzheng City suddenly beat gongs and drums, lively and boiling, Pei Xin anxiously asked people to inquire about the situation, not long after, the soldiers came back to report, "General Qiyu, the people of Nanzheng are beating gongs and drums, welcome us to seize Hanzhong." ”

It turned out that the people in Nanzheng City did not know about the fierce battle outside the city last night, and the skirmishes in the city did not alarm the sleeping people, until dawn, the residents of the city found that the patrol soldiers on the street were no longer the previous Hanzhong army, but the Jin army from Chang'an, and the banner on the head of the city also became a red black dragon banner.

The people were suddenly jubilant, the entire Nanzheng City was boiling, beating gongs and drums, the people ran to the street to beat the bowls and basins, and the street quickly turned into a sea of jubilation.

This made Pei Xin a little puzzled, Zhou Yi sighed and said: "It's no wonder they are so excited, one hundred and fifty wen for rice, one thousand three hundred wen for a bucket of salt, and fifty wen for Chang'an dou rice, only thirty wen for flour per bucket, one hundred and thirty wen per bucket of salt, one hundred yuan per person for household tax, and only household tax, they have tea and wine tax here, shelf tax, household tax, commercial tax, cloth tax, all add up to at least ten yuan, in the words of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, we came to overthrow the mountain pressing on their heads, how can they not be excited." ”

Pei Xin nodded and smiled: "In this case, I will simply fight to be dismissed and dismissed from office, and go directly to Chengdu." ”

Everyone laughed heartily.......

In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Song led the logistics team to Hanzhong.

The key to the success of this sneak attack on Hanzhong was the word 'sneak attack', which caught the Hanzhong army off guard.

Pei Xin led the generals out of the camp to welcome the arrival of the lord.

"See Your Highness!" Pei Xin knelt down on one knee and saluted.

See Your Highness! The generals knelt down and saluted.

Guo Song turned over and dismounted, and smiled at everyone: "Generals, please get up, everyone has worked hard." ”

Pei Xin knew what the lord was most concerned about, and stepped forward and said: "These capture of Hanzhong, our army only killed three people, or because of an accident, twenty-one people were injured, and none of them were seriously injured. ”

"Good!"

Guo Song nodded approvingly, and asked again, "How is the situation of the enemy army?" ”

"His Royal Highness, more than 11,600 people were captured, more than 3,300 people were killed, and more than 1,000 escaped, but many of the fleeing soldiers were killed or captured by the nearby villagers, many of whom did many evils, and the villagers hated them."

"What about the main general Cao Liwei?"

Guo Song asked strangely, "Why haven't you heard from him?" ”

"He was wounded and fell off his horse, captured by the surrendered soldiers of the enemy army, and is now locked up in the main camp."

Guo Song nodded, "Turn around and release him, those in the Hanzhong army who are willing to follow him back to Bashu will also be released, and those who are unwilling to leave will stay and reorganize and become our soldiers." ”

"Obey!"

Guo Song walked into the barracks surrounded by everyone, and the barracks was the camp of the Hanzhong Army, and because no fire attack was used, the camp was preserved intact.

Guo Song came to the big tent of the Chinese army and sat down, and smiled at the generals who were gathered together: "I know that everyone is confused, and there are many questions in their hearts, why do you want to attack Hanzhong?" Is it really because of the seizure of military items? Whether or not to return Hanzhong in the future and so on, I can clearly tell you that once Hanzhong is occupied by us, it will never be returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

There was a burst of warm applause in the big tent, everyone only heard that there was a contradiction between the King of Jin and the Southern Tang Dynasty, which triggered this raid battle, once the contradiction was resolved, did it have to be returned to the Southern Tang? This is something that everyone is very concerned about, so Guo Song's clear reply made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Guo Song waved his hand to quiet everyone down, and continued: "We are indeed because important materials were seized by the Hanzhong army, but this is not the reason why we attacked Hanzhong, but an opportunity, Hanzhong has always threatened Guanzhong and Chang'an, when Wei Gao's northern expedition was from Hanzhong, it was very smooth to enter Guanzhong, Hanzhong can not only kill multiple roads into Guanzhong, but also threaten Longyou, from the dispute between Chu and Han, from Zhuge Northern Expedition, we can see the strategic importance of Hanzhong, so Hanzhong is not in our hands one day, Chang'an can't be truly stable for a day. ”

Guo Song's words completely reassured the generals, and everyone retired one after another to deal with logistics materials.

At this time, a soldier reported: "General Zhang took the head of the Liu family to ask to see!" ”

Guo Song smiled: "Please let them in!" ”

The Liu family in Hanzhong is said to be the descendants of Liu Bei, but it is an indisputable fact that Liu Bei's descendants were slaughtered in the Yongjia Rebellion, and it is possible for a few individuals to escape back to Bashu occasionally, but even if it is true, it is meaningless.

However, Guo Song still attaches great importance to the local snakes and tries to envelop them as much as possible, which is of great significance to him to consolidate the territory he occupies.

Not long after, Zhang Yun walked in with the Liu brothers, both of whom were in their fifties, of medium stature, and looked a bit like businessmen.

Zhang Yun introduced: "This is the head of the family, Liu Wanshan, and his brother Liu Wanwan!" ”

"Two Kunzhong, please!"

Guo Song asked the soldiers to bring chairs and invite the three of them to sit down.

"How much food is still in the city now, Liu Senjun should know very well!" Guo Song asked Liu Wanyu with a smile.
