Chapter 837: The Fierce Battle of Dongchuan (Part II)
"Junior mice and mouses, let you know that I am powerful today, and I will take your head tomorrow!!"
After Yan Yan finished scolding, he rode away. Wei Yan laughed angrily, and hurried behind the horse, scolding Yan Yan angrily all the way. Yan Yan saw that Wei Yan had won his radical method, he sneered in his heart, and fled all the way, Zhang Ren was also overjoyed when he saw Wei Yan chasing after him, and quickly called the soldiers to retreat. In the northwest formation on the opposite side, there was a sudden turmoil, and Wen Han quickly led the horse infantry army to cover up and kill. In front, Yan Yan and Wei Yan fought and left. Lead the Northwest Army to cross the mountain pass, Zhang Ren will take the rear army in front, re-establish the camp, and lead the generals to fight with the Northwest generals, counting on the two Biao ambush troops to besiege the Northwest Army.
The soldiers and horses who didn't want him to ambush were being attacked by the elite soldiers led by Zhao Yun at this time, and most of them rushed into the valley, intercepted the vehicles on the mountain road, and set fire to the cars. Ma Chao and Li Yan rushed and collided in the smoke and firelight, but accidentally injured many soldiers and horses of the self-army.
Ma Chao's heart was like fire, for fear that Zhang Ren would lose, he couldn't care more, so he led a group of people to rush to the camp first.
At the same time, Wen Han led the generals to lead troops to clash fiercely, and Wei Yan was like a giant beast in the wilderness, rushing into the crowd of Xichuan, like entering a no-man's land, no one could stop him. Yan Yan resisted desperately, Wei Yan's knife style was violent, and Yan Yan was slashed back with one sword, and went straight to take Zhang Ren. Seeing that Wei Yan was so powerful, Zhang Ren's face turned pale with fright, and he fled with his horse. Yan Yan was in hot pursuit, and Wei Yan had no choice but to turn around and fight with Yan Yan again.
Wen Han saw that Zhang Ren wanted to escape, and shouted loudly.
"Whoever can kill Zhang Guyi will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed a thousand households, and if he can capture Zhang Guyi, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and sealed ten thousand !!households."
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, as soon as Wen Han's reward order came out, the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army suddenly seemed to be red-eyed, and desperately rushed to Zhang Ren. The Xichuan army couldn't resist and was defeated, and Zhang Ren killed to open a way.
As he was fleeing, a white light suddenly flashed, and he saw a general wearing bright silver armor intercepting and killing him. When Zhang Ren saw that person, he was immediately frightened, and this person was his junior brother Zhao Zilong.
Zhao Yun's sword eyes shot two divine lights, and Pegasus took Zhang Ren directly. Zhang Ren fled in a hurry, Zhao Yun chased closely behind, and stabbed Zhang Ren in the back with a shot. Zhang Ren heard the sound of breaking through the air, and subconsciously avoided it. Who knew that Zhao Yun's gun suddenly changed, changed from stabbing to sweeping, and swept Zhang Ren off the horse with one shot. Zhang Ren screamed bitterly, rolled to the ground, his helmet flew away, and his cloak was scattered.
Zhao Yun shouted loudly, majestic in all directions.
"Second senior brother, Liu Jiyu is incompetent and cowardly, not the master. Why don't you surrender early, if you can, the military marquis will treat you with the courtesy of a countryman!! ”
Zhang Ren's eyes widened, he got up angrily, and shouted angrily.
"If you want to kill, you need to kill, why bother talking!! I, the Xichuan general, only have a decapitated general, and there is no traitor!! ”
Zhang Ren was full of calm and upright atmosphere, Zhao Yun's expression changed when he heard this, and after sighing secretly, he suddenly slapped the horse and came to catch Zhang Ren.
At that moment, a roar like the roar of a lion erupted.
Zhao Zilong!! You're going to be presumptuous!! ”
I saw Ma Chao slapping the horses wildly and rushing out to kill. Zhao Yun's face changed, and he killed Ma Chao with a gun. At the same time, Ma Chao led the troops to arrive and rushed to Zhang Ren's side to guard. Zhang Ren got on a horse, and the horse overrode and asked the soldiers to protect Zhang Ren and leave. While Zhao Yun was fighting with Ma Chao, he was anxious and angry when he saw that Zhang Ren was about to escape from sight. But Ma Chao was like an unbreakable giant wall, blocking Zhao Yun's way.
Under Ma Chao's bravery, Zhang Ren finally had to escape. Ma Chao and Zhao Yun killed for a while, and also fled. Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao's back, and his eyes were full of monstrous anger.
Although the Northwest Army failed to capture Zhang Ren, it won a great victory, annihilating nearly 10,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses, and capturing nearly 6 or 7,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses.
Zhang Ren and Ma Chao hurriedly led the remnants of the soldiers to Anhan, and rushed to the city of Anhan, which made people call the door. I saw a drum sounding in the city, and a general led the army out and shouted.
"I, Pang Lingming, have been taking Anhan for a long time!"
When Zhang Ren heard this, as if his soul was out of his body, he subconsciously patted the horse, turned the horse and left. Pang De led the army to chase and kill, but Ma Chao couldn't care about the fatigue of people and horses, so he resisted Pang De. Pound and Ma Chao had dozens of rounds, Ma Chao's physical strength was almost exhausted, he couldn't resist it, and retreated away. Pang De waved his army all the way to cover up, Zhang Ren broke a lot of military horses, and defected to Wakou Pass in the starry night, collected the defeated soldiers, and held on.
Wen Han captured An Han, naturally he was overjoyed, rewarded the army, made the army rest and recuperate, and appeased the people, which was naturally not a problem. A few days later, Wen Han followed Li You's advice and sent Pang De and Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops to take Wakou Pass.
Pang De and Wei Yan led the newly victorious army, wanting to take advantage of the momentum to pursue, attacking for days, Zhang Renyan ordered the soldiers to only be defended, and never to go out of the pass to meet the attack, Xichuan soldiers were on the pass, sending arrows and throwing stones, and they were blocking the offensive of the Northwest Army. Pang De saw that the attack on the pass could not be stopped, and it would be difficult to help for a while and a half, so he retreated the army for 20 miles and set up camp.
After placing the soldiers, Pang De and Wei Yan led dozens of horsemen to scout the path on both sides of the sentry and think about how to break the pass. At this moment, Pound's eyes suddenly fell on the men and women on the side of the road, and saw that they were each carrying small bags and walking along the mountain road.
Pang De's eyes froze, his gaze shot two rays of light, and he immediately pointed at Wei Yandao with his whip.
"If you want to take the Wakou Pass, it's only on these few people!"
When Wei Yan heard this, he unconsciously showed a little suspicion, and before he could react, he listened to Pang De's call to the sergeant.
"Let not thou shalt thou thou shalt thou thou s Later, General Ben will have his own reward and so on. ”
The sergeant received the order and hurriedly summoned the people to the horse. Pound first reassured him with good words, and then asked softly where he came from. The people replied.
"Some of them are residents of Hanzhong, and they want to return to their hometowns now. I heard that the army was fighting and closing. I had to go to Hanzhong in Zitong Mountain and go home. ”
Pound was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked again.
"If you take this road, how far and near is Wakou Pass?"
The people looked at each other, and then one of them replied.
"The general is not a resident here, no wonder he doesn't know. As long as you walk from the path of Zitong Mountain, you will be behind Wakou Pass at the end! ”
"Hahaha!! There are big things to do!! ”
Pound laughed loudly, and then led the people into the village, and gave them wine and food as a reward. The people were overjoyed and stayed in the village as ordered. Pang De and Wei Yan then commanded.
"Tomorrow, you only care about leading troops to attack the pass, and you will kill that Zhang in a panic, and you have no time to take care of it. After I personally led the light horse out of Zitong Mountain to tackle the key points, I caught him off guard in time, so that the Wakou Pass could be broken!! ”
On the other hand, Zhang Ren was clever and mistaken by cleverness since that day, and was defeated by the Northwest Army, lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and lost Anhan City, knowing in his heart that it was difficult to resist the offensive of the Northwest Army, and sent people to rush back to Xichuan to rescue.
That night, Zhang Ren was reading the book of soldiers on the platform of Guanzhong, and suddenly Ma Chao came to see him and admonished Zhang Ren.
"General Zhang, the current situation is not good. Wen Bufan's army may come at any time, it is better to abandon this pass first, go away to Jiameng Pass, and then just in time to catch up with the reinforcements of the lord, and join forces to defend it, when it can repel the northwest thief army!! ”
Zhang Ren listened to the words, hesitated, groaned for a while, and still shook his head and refused.
Meng Qi's words are reasonable. However, at this time, the battle situation of our army has not yet reached the critical time to abandon the pass, so we will hold on for some more time for the time being, and if the battle situation is not good, we will abandon the pass and retreat. If you can hold it, you should defend it to the death and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”
Ma Chao frowned slightly, since Zhang Ren's words had already been said to this point, he was not good at persuading him again, and he made a courtesy to leave.
At the same time, in the northwest village, Pang De ordered the people to lead the way, chose 3,000 light horses, entered from the small road, and rushed to Zitong Mountain overnight. Early the next morning, Wei Yandu led his troops and horses to attack under the pass. Wei Yan seemed to want to break through the pass in a battle, and personally commanded on the front line, and the soldiers in the northwest attacked frantically. Zhang Ren heard the loud sound of shaking the Zhengzao Pass, and knew that the Northwest Army was coming again, so he hurriedly put on his horse and went to the pass to command.
Wei Yan led the troops to attack, killing from day to night, and when both armies were almost exhausted, a soldier suddenly came to report on the gate.
"Report !! After the pass, the four or five roads caught fire, and I don't know where the soldiers came!! ”
When Zhang Ren heard this, he was immediately shocked and at a loss.
"The matter has come to this point, if we do not abandon the pass, our army will definitely be wiped out!! General Zhang, you retreat to the path, I will stay here and wait for you!! ”
Ma Chao rose up, shouted angrily, led a soldier and horse out with a gun, and Wei Yanzi led the troops to meet him. Ma Chao had few soldiers, and he was quickly surrounded and killed by Wei Yan's troops. Zhang Ren saw the countless fires approaching after the pass, and he couldn't care about any more, so he led the generals to hurry to the path. The horses are unbearable, and the generals are exhausted. Later, Pang Defei chased very quickly, Zhang Ren had to abandon his horse and go up the mountain, and fled with the generals to find a way, so he had to escape, and there were only more than ten people with him.
Later, Pang De saw Zhang Ren escaping in the mountains, but because he was not familiar with the terrain, he did not dare to enter lightly, so he led the army to the back of the pass, and attacked Wei Yan back and forth. Where can Ma Chao resist, he just relied on his superb martial arts to escape with a bloody way.
Zhang Ren lost the Wakou Pass again, and his subordinates all threw it away, hoping to flee from the Pass. So far, Zhang Ren's 50,000 soldiers and horses, nearly 30,000 soldiers were annihilated by the Northwest Army, and more than 20,000 soldiers were captured by the Northwest Army. Wen Han was overjoyed when he received the good news from Pound, and immediately sent someone to give him wine and food, and Pound and Wei Yan were even more rewarded.
Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses stationed in Dongchuan were almost extinct, and Wen Han took advantage of the situation to seize Dongchuan County with a thunderous momentum, and saw that almost eighty percent of the land of Dongchuan fell into the hands of Wen Han. Zhang Ren sent an urgent report to Xichuan Chengdu for several days.
At the same time as the battle in Dongchuan was raging. The other side is in Jingzhou. Liu Bei decided to enter Shudi, so he invited all the civil and military forces under his command to discuss the matter of going west.
Zhuge Liang attended and said.
"Jingzhou is an important place, and there must be no loss. And at this time, Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies, and Wen Bufan gathered heavy troops in the Shangyong and Dongchuan realms to guard against our march into Shu. The lord is going west this time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult everywhere!! Lord, get ready!? ”
Liu Bei's face froze when he heard this, and he said without fear.
"Kong Ming doesn't have to worry too much, I, Liu Xuande, have been fighting on the battlefield all my life, and I have never seen such a dangerous situation. Although Kong Ming is deployed, I will obey it!! ”
"If the lord wants to go to Shu, he must not be known by Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Wen Han, otherwise he will be jealous and want to get rid of our forces urgently. Therefore, if the lord goes to Shu, he can only take Huang Zhong, Hua Xiong, Tai Shici, and two brave generals, and then Kuai Liang will accompany him, and the leading troops shall not exceed 300 troops!! ”
"It's ridiculous!! Not to mention whether the people of Xichuan can frame my brother in the future, at this time, Wen Bufan is leading 100,000 soldiers and horses to invade Shudi, my brother is the body of ten thousand gold, how to deal with it with only 300 soldiers and horses!! Isn't this a sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger!? Zhuge Kongming, what are your intentions!!? ”
Pan Feng was furious when he heard this, and his finger Zhuge Liang scolded angrily. Zhang Fei glared at the monster even more, and roared through gritted teeth.
"I knew that you, a wild man in the mountains, were uneasy and kind, and now you must have deliberately killed your brother and monopolized power!!"
