After Xingdao City, finally came to the boundary of Liangzhou, in fact, this is still the birthplace of the Great Liang Dynasty, King Liang Hui raised troops here and unified the north. However, not long after Xingdao City, I encountered a problem again, a small county town called "Chenggu" also had garrisons, and this small city looked higher than the previous two cities, and there were more garrisons.

What's even more desperate is that the scout said that he saw the imperial flag of Shu Han, could it be that Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, personally led his troops to guard here?

Maybe the five hundred heavily armored cavalry that Chen Bao went to touch the day before yesterday were the Shu Han Imperial Forest Army that ran from Chenggu City?

"This is a problem."

Tang Yuan asked the troops to stop advancing, climbed high to look at Chenggu from afar, and sighed: "I can't fight, I can only wait for Zhang Zhikui to come." Whether to go around or fight, wait for the commander to discuss. Tell the troops to be ready to evacuate at any time, put the baggage troops at the rear, turn into a front team at any time, and be ready to escape. ”

Just when Tang Yuan was waiting for Zhang Zhikui, he got news from the rear, which said: Seeing that Tang Yuan led a large army to bypass Yunting Mountain and take the two small cities of Gold and Xingdao, Guan Jingyun, the guard of Yunting Mountain, was a little panicked, and he actually led his troops to rush down, but he fell into an ambush arranged by Zhang Yunlong.

"It's fake news." Tang Yuan smiled bitterly: "This must be the news released by Zhang Laoshuai, he wants to remove our worries, Guan Jingyun has enough food and a tenacious will to guard the mountain, it is impossible for him to come down at all." But we can't say it, we should tell everyone according to what the old man said, so that everyone doesn't have to worry about the safety of the old handsome. ”

Nalan Xin nodded and went to do what Tang Yuan asked. When the army heard that Zhang Laoshuai had eliminated Guan Xiong, the Great Taibao Guan Jingyun, they cheered for a while.

"Report! Oh no, General! The soldiers in Chenggu City have come out, and Captain Feng said that there are at least 30,000 people! And all ironclad infantry and cavalry! ”

"I'm grass, this is true news, hurry up!"

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it at all, so run quickly.

Seeing that Tang Yuan had run away, Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, laughed and said: "Legend has it that Tang Yuan can fight well, and I saw him today, but that's it." ”

ran very awkwardly, until he could see the banner of the Chinese army, he stopped running away. And he also left a lot of baggage.

Zhang Zhikui frowned and said, "Just hold on for a while." ”

Tang Yuan said: "The enemy army is too fierce, don't dare to underestimate the enemy, if there are no resources behind me, I will fight with him, but we obviously have a rear team, then I won't fight with him, wait until we outnumber him, and then fight with him." ”

Zhang Zhikui said: "Legend has it that Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, has 40,000 ironclad guards, it seems that the rumors are true, and now it is impossible to take the city, not that we dare not fight, but it is too late." I will lead 40,000 people, stay here, contain Liu Xun, and you lead the rest of the troops to aid Dingjun Mountain. ”

Tang Yuan frowned and said, "Then I can also take away 27,000 people, but there are still Liangzhou City, Nanzheng, and Baocheng in front, and it may not be easy to break through the defense line formed by these three cities." ”

Zhang Zhikui sighed: "I can only gamble." Since Liu Xun brought his troops to Chenggu, I guess those three cities are empty cities, even if there are defending enemies, there are only three or five thousand people, which will not be difficult for you. You must know that even if you have few soldiers, as long as you kill Dingjun Mountain, it will be a lifesaver for Lin Chongyang. Seeing the reinforcements, the people guarding the mountain seem to be in a long drought and rain, and they will inevitably kill the mountain in one go, and then you will have a decisive battle with the enemy commander Guan Xiong. Hanzhong belongs to the First World War. If you lose, we can't escape, and if you win, Liu Xun's life will stay here. Do you dare to make this bet? ”

"Bet on Liu Xun's life with my life, I think it's worth it!"

"Good! Hahaha, Tang Yuan, Zhang Yunlong asked you to be a pioneer, and sure enough, I didn't mistake you, then you should go! ”

If you want to bypass Chenggu, it's not so easy, because Liu Xun won't let it.

After Liu Xun left the city, he did not let the troops come back, but deployed defenses outside the city, blocking the road, and preventing the enemy from breaking through.

Looking at his array, it is simply a decisive battle posture.

At this time, Zhang Zhikui changed his offensive strategy.

Zhang Shuai is characterized by being easy to heat up his brain and belongs to the radical faction, in the face of Liu Xun's provocation, he decisively ordered: "Fight with him!" He Shu Han Imperial Forest Army equipped me, and my Xuanjia Army is also the Imperial Forest Army of Daliang, no worse than him! Wan Lin, Ju Wuming, Su Beiqin, Cao Bao, you all give me spiritual points! Tang Yuan rushed up, don't be a bad seed! ”

"Yes!" The generals echoed, but Cao Bao had the smallest voice.

In fact, Cao Bao has experienced the Luoyang Guard War, and he has seen the world, but at that time, he was chasing ducks to the shelves, and he couldn't go on it.

Afterwards, he always had nightmares, in which he was chased by Simon Mason, which has left many psychological shadows.

This time, it must be another hand-to-hand fight, and when he thought of the tragic situation that was about to happen in a while, Cao Bao had leg and stomach cramps, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Cao Bao's face was as frightened as death, a person dressed as a civilian official beside him shouted: "General don't be afraid, you just need to sit in the chariot for a while, hand over the flag to me, and I will stand on the roof of the chariot to command, and the matter of charging into battle can be handed over to Wang Danghai and Li Dangshan." ”

"Qianzhi, since you say so, then I will leave this important task to you. Although I Cao Bao is timid and talentless, but I still have some virtue, after the fight in Hanzhong, back to Luoyang, in front of my cousin, I will definitely give you a few good words. I will do what I say and never break my word. Chen Bao said.

Why does Empress Dowager Cao have such a straw bale cousin, Su Li is not entangled, which family doesn't have a few straw bales, and Empress Dowager Cao's family is not prosperous, and it is not easy to pick out Cao Bao to take on the big responsibility. As Cao Bao said, he is very self-aware, but his virtue is still very reputable.

When someone asks him to do things, he often does it himself, and he is a person who can do things, but he is not a material to be a general.

To be a general, you must first have courage, then wisdom, and finally force.

But in peacetime, it is often said in the army that General XX has good combat strength, but in fact, it is only after affirming the courage and wisdom of this general that it is evaluated. Including Tang Hu, he is usually simple, but when he fights, he is actually very good. Although he is brave, he doesn't do anything to die.

The battle was about to break out, the enemy's imperial flag and the Liang army's handsome flag moved in unison, the array was lined up, and both sides blew the horn of the charge at the same time, and a melee fought from noon to dark.

"The enemy is too well equipped." Tang Hu was not lightly injured, retreated from the formation, and sat in Tang Yuan's chariot decadently: "Ordinary knives and guns can't penetrate it, it's just iron." We have few cavalry, so we will suffer. Hey, Xiaofeng, did you hear me? If we continue to fight like this, we will run out of people. ”
