On the twenty-seventh day of May in the eighth year of Zhide, under the main peak of Yunting Mountain, the afterglow of the sun was about to disappear, and the humidity in the col gradually became thicker.

An old general with a white beard sat on a war horse, with flags waving beside him, and several energetic servants held the moon to set off the majesty of the old general.

"If the enemy doesn't come down tonight, we'll kill them."

After saying a word, Zhang Yunlong shook the reins, clanged his bridles, turned his horse and left, he had decided not to spend it any longer, after all, he was the commander of the Liang army in this Hanzhong War, his purpose was not only to rescue Lin Chongyang, but also to knock all the enemy troops out of Hanzhong, and make all preparations for Cao Sheng in the second echelon.

Back in the makeshift tent, Zhang Yunlong jumped off his horse and sat down next to a stone, the old general fell into thought, he was calculating, if it was better to attack Yunting Mountain in the form of full encirclement, or leave a hole for Guan Jingyun and Guan Jinglin?

After speculating left and right, he finally decided to make a way to save the enemy from fighting back against the beasts.

"Inform the generals that they will all attack the mountain tomorrow, but tell Tang Yuan to let Ma Ben withdraw, and then he will come to me with Ma Ben, and we will attack the main road together, leaving the enemy two small roads to escape."

"Marshal, why don't we eat the enemy completely?" A secretary blurted out after a little thought.

"I want to retain my strength, and even if these two Taibao run away, where can they run?" Zhang Yunlong smiled contemptuously and said: "They can't run far, but as long as they run, they will become lost dogs, let me encircle and hunt them, is there a better defensive place than Yunting Mountain nearby?" ”

Secretary Lang said: "I'm afraid that they will form a surprise soldier and have an impact on Zhang Zhikui." If Deputy Marshal Zhang is fighting Guan Xiong at this time, and this group of people is running very fast, once we can't catch up, it will be troublesome. ”

Zhang Yunlong turned his head and glanced at the secretary Lang and said, "I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." ”

At the end of the next day, Tang Yuan's troops were already lined up neatly, just waiting for Zhang Dashuai's order.

Tang Yuan looked at the main peak of Yunting Mountain and was a little worried, this mountain is really not easy to fight, and he doesn't know how many lives he will have to sacrifice today. It is said that being a general for a long time is hard-hearted, in fact, it is just a miscommunication, every time he sees a tragic scene, it will make Tang Yuan feel numb for a while, but he can't remember the sadness for the time being, but afterwards, when he thinks that those familiar faces from before can no longer appear, strong sadness will rush to his heart, making people feel suffocated and depressed.

Especially when those soldiers who are particularly familiar with themselves die, they all feel as if they have died once, and the great sorrow makes people extremely depressed.

When the time came, Zhang Yunlong walked out of the tent on time, strode towards the war horse, jumped on the horse, pulled out the horizontal knife, and shouted: "Go!" ”

"Zhang Shuai, do you want to follow up the mountain too?" Tang Yuan said: "Give me the task, you can rest below." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, I must go up and take a look, what these rabbit cubs eat and drink, after so many years of fighting, I have never met such a starvation person." Zhang Yunlong kicked the spur violently, and the war horse neighed, and followed the vanguard horse galloping troops.

Yunting Mountain is very high, and there are at least three layers of fortifications on the mountain, and it takes a very heavy price to break through each layer, but Ma Ben has already come within the range of the enemy, and he has not been attacked.

Ma Ben looked around suspiciously, the shield he was holding in his hand still didn't dare to put it down, and motioned for the charging battalion to move forward softly.

Since the enemy hasn't shot an arrow yet, isn't it because he was too slack and didn't find out?

"Unlikely." Ma Ben was puzzled: "There is not even a sentry, is it difficult for these people to grow wings and fly?" ”

The vanguard camp quietly approached the stone wall, looking nervous, but until they reached the bottom of the stone wall, they still did not find a shadow of an enemy, which was simply too strange, and there was a foul smell in the air here, like that of a rotting corpse.

"Gas?" The lieutenant of the pioneer battalion shook his head: "It's unlikely, wouldn't you even suffer yourself if you used poison gas at such a close distance?" He turned his head to a chief man beside him and said, "You guys, go up and have a look." ”

The captains are actually the most dangerous, every time they charge, they have to lead the team to run in the front, perhaps they are used to this kind of day of survival at the tip of the knife, and they do not hesitate to climb the human wall, but when the captain climbs up, the scene in front of him stunned him.

"Lord Captain, it seems that we don't have to fight."

"What's wrong?"

"They all died, and they all fell to the ground, and not one of them was panting."

The news was quickly passed on, Tang Yuan and Zhang Yunlong both climbed the mountain to see the situation here, in order to prevent the rotting corpses from causing a plague, they did not continue to go up, but sent a few soldiers, wearing thick masks, all the way to the top of the mountain, when the soldier put a sentry arrow from the top of the mountain, it was already certain that the defenders of the entire Yunting Mountain had died of thirst or starvation.

"No wonder they were so crazy about grabbing food a while ago, it turned out that the counterattack was already all their strength, but I still don't know which one is Guan Jingyun and Guan Jinglin. Could it be that these two Taibao also starved to death on this mountain? Zhang Yunlong laughed at himself: "Unexpectedly, I, Zhang Yunlong, surrounded Yunting Mountain for ten days, and what I besieged was a pile of corpses. ”

Tang Yuan was relieved: "This mountain is well defended, and it is normal to not know the situation inside. At the foot of the mountain, you can only see all kinds of battle flags planted here, who would have thought that the battle flags were guarded by a group of dead people. ”

"Actually, before I left, the enemy army was already out of food and water." Tang Yuan was surprised and said, "I really don't understand, what these people rely on to survive." Why didn't they break through? As long as they are willing to break through, at least some of them will survive. ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Zhang Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Han Dang, how many people do you have left?" ”

"Two thousand left." Han Dang said.

"Huang Ying, what about you?" Zhang Yunlong asked again.

"One thousand and five, including five hundred wounded soldiers." Huang Ying said ashamedly.

Zhang Yunlong said: "In this case, then put all the wounded soldiers here for you, and leave five hundred people for you, take care of the wounded soldiers, and bury these bones on the mountain." ”

——

Zhang Pan ventured to believe the centurion of Shu Han in Li Liang's questioning, and at the same time he also detained the centurion's younger brother, why was he so sure that they were brothers, because the two of them looked like they were carved out of the same mold.

It was a gamble, and Zhang Pan won the bet.

After a night's rest, the soldiers finally felt a little relieved, and set off at the right time, and now they could see Dingjun Mountain in the distance, and at this time, it was the second day of the water cut off on Dingjun Mountain.
