On the twenty-third day of May in the eighth year of Zhide, when Yue Pu attacked the east gate of Chenggu City, Zhang Zhikui led 6,000 people to rush to the west gate.

They lacked siege materials, so they only cut down trees temporarily, tied them with straw ropes into improvised ladders, and prepared three of them.

Zhang Zhikui saw that the defense of Xicheng was really weak, and when the second team charged, he rushed up with him, and rushed to the city gate with all his might, opened the city gate, and six thousand people rushed in.

Bai Chongguang was very puzzled, he had obviously sent someone to intercept him in the mountains, but he was worried that there were strange soldiers infiltrating behind him, how did Zhang Zhikui go around the back now?

He didn't know how much Zhang Zhikui had suffered, how he had come over these days, climbing the cliff, his fingers were worn out, and the soldiers who accidentally fell off the cliff were at least double digits, and the generals who obeyed Bai Chongguang's military orders did not strictly implement Bai Chongguang's orders, which led to Zhang Zhikui having the opportunity to divide a thousand soldiers to block, and he led a large army to attack the West Gate.

As soon as the west gate was broken, the Shu Han soldiers immediately panicked.

Bai Chongguang came to find Liu Xun, Liu Xun led 5,000 cavalry, rushed out of the south gate, did not look back all the way to the west, fled to Liangzhou, and at this time the soldiers defending the city did not know that the emperor and the prime minister had run away, and still did the final struggle on the city, the battle fought for a day and a night, 30,000 soldiers died more than 20,000, the battle was tragic, unspeakable.

Tang Yuan sighed: "This is a good army, but it's a pity that the enemy army didn't make good use of it. Now that these equipment are in our hands, we should make good use of them, come on, and leave 10,000 sets of equipment in our division. ”

Li Xian smiled evilly: "General Tang, is it appropriate not to tell Zhang Shuai about this?" ”

"What's inappropriate?" Tang Yuan glared: "I can leave him 25,000 sets is already worthy of him." ”

Tang Yuan added all the captives to his own troops, which made the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army very dissatisfied, especially Ju Wusheng, who came to Zhang Zhikui to complain, Zhang Zhikui's face sank like water, but he was silent, Zhang Zhikui knew the details of Ju Wusheng, supported by the family forces of Empress Dowager Cao's faction, and latecomers like Zhang Zhikui could not afford to provoke him, if Ju Wusheng was pressing, Zhang Zhikui could also throw the matter to Zhang Yunlong, and said, I am just the second deputy marshal, I can't be the master, you have been wronged, you should go to him.

Tang Yuan's army basically still maintains the scale of 10,000 people, although others laugh at him and say that he is now a ragtag army, using prisoners to prop up the façade, but Tang Yuan does not care, for a long time, Tang Yuan's troops have been replenishing fresh blood, and there are all kinds of people in the army, such as the male Jia people, the Sangla people, the countries of the Western Regions and the Shu Han people, which have accounted for more than half of the troops. But this did not affect the combat power of the Flying Tiger Ninth Division.

There was a fierce battle in Chenggu, and the casualties on both sides were very heavy, at this time, the soldiers of the Liang army who could still participate in the rapid march were less than one-third of the original strength, Zhang Zhikui and other generals of the Xuanjia army sat together to discuss the next plan, and they didn't even take Tang Yuan with them.

Ju Wuming said: "This time I came to Hanzhong, Tang Xianfeng has already been out of the limelight, what's the matter, when it comes to the last step, you still want him to take the lead?" This army was originally the unit of our Xuanjia Army, why did you let an outsider command the attack on Chenggu? This incident is rumored to be good. ”

Wan Lin glanced at Ju Wusheng and said: "General Ju's words are inevitably biased, Tang Yuan made a statement of nomination in front of Deputy Marshal Zhang, and only then did he obtain the command of this attack on Chenggu, and our Zhang Shuai was not idle, with seven thousand people bypassing Widow's Mountain to the west of Chenggu City, this is the key to changing the situation of the battle, and it is also a strange move to force back Liu Xun and Bai Chongguang. ”

Su Beiqin sneered and said, "According to what you say, as long as someone is willing to vote for the name, can he take the position of deputy marshal?" ”

Wan Lin said angrily: "Let's talk about things, why should General Su be sarcastic?" ”

"Alright." Zhang Zhikui waved his hand and said: "Now, there are two things to do in front of us, first, quickly repair the troops and hurry up to support Lin Chongyang, and second, we still have to consider whether to divide a force to support the old commander Zhang Yunlong." ”

"I don't think so." Ju Wuming said with an expression of receiving the Empress Dowager's will: "Before leaving, the Empress Dowager once told me that General Zhang is already old, so let's have ideas at a critical moment." ”

Zhang Zhikui was silent.

The room was extremely dull, with Zhang Yunlong's prestige in the army, Su Beiqin and Wan Lin were a little admired in their hearts, but Ju Wuming threw out such a sentence and took out the Queen Mother to suppress everyone.

Zhang Zhikui is in a dilemma, in his opinion, Zhang Yunlong is a man, take the most dangerous task by himself, and let the young Zhang Zhikui continue to go west instead of him, which shows that Zhang Yunlong is very interesting to himself, and it can even be said to be the grace of knowing him. Now Zhang Yunlong is still protecting the grain road in Yunting Mountain, but listening to the soldiers who sent the grain, General Zhang fought very hard, and every time he sent grain, it was a tragic battle. The grain was sent from the dead man's pile.

At this time, if you don't go to support the old marshal, the grain road will be broken, with the temper of the old general Zhang, he will definitely die there, Zhang Zhikui is very embarrassed whether to save or not?

If he doesn't save it, he can quickly support Lin Chongyang and establish a great achievement, although he will bear the infamy of not saving the old handsome in the future, but Zhang Yunlong is not the queen mother's person, and even the queen mother has always been very jealous of him, if he can take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Yunlong, in fact, the queen mother will be very happy in her heart, although she will complain about Zhang Zhikui.

"Zhang Shuai, what are you thinking?" Ju Wuming said in an almost commanding tone: "Time is precious, you must make a quick decision!" ”

"Ju no life." Zhang Zhikui suddenly stood up with a grim gaze: "Since you are so showy, okay, I'll give you this opportunity, now you go and choose the soldiers and take away everything you can take away." You go to support Lin Chongyang, leave the injury of your arm and leg to me, and I will take the injury to save General Zhang! ”

"That's what you said!" Ju Wuming glared.

"There is no joke in the army!" Zhang Zhikui slapped the table and said.

Ju Wuming took Zhang Zhikui's handsome seal tiger talisman and went out to gather troops, he even took Wan Lin's troops with him, and temporarily deprived Wan Lin of his command, and it took half a day to gather 15,000 people.

"Where is Tang Yuan?" Ju Wuming narrowed his eyes: "Doesn't he have 10,000 people under him?" How did you send a brigade? ”

"Report to General Ju, Tang Yuan ran east with two brigades and a thousand people from the General's Guard. He said that since the Xuanjia Army did not take him to the meeting, it meant that the Xuanjia Army wanted to collectively rescue Lin Chongyang, and he Tang Yuan wanted to save General Zhang, and now Zhang Zhikui also ran away. ”。

Ju Wusheng hated: "Is Ma Butong a rice bucket?" How did he do it! He also agreed with Tang Yuan to do this? ”

"This ...... I don't know about this little one. ”
