Chapter 158: The End of Tongguan Flying Soldiers

Zhang Ji in the city, at this time, has not come to his senses, listening to Zhao Xu's shout, his heart is entangled, he really never thought that he would lose so soon, according to the previous bet, he should sacrifice Tongguan, but as soon as Tongguan is offered, he has no place in the world, thinking about it, he can't help but hate himself for listening to Yang Ang's words, desperate.

Zhang Ji was suddenly startled, got up and shouted, "Where is Yang Ang?" Where is Yang Ang? ”

Zhang Xiu's department will Zhang Xian and Lei Xu because of the protection of Zhang Ji, did not follow Zhang Xiu, only luckily killed, seeing Zhang Ji asked, Zhang Xian hurriedly got up and said: "Back to the lord, it seems that only our soldiers and horses have been killed, I heard the soldiers guarding the city said that the soldiers of Yongzhou and Hanzhong fled to the south, I think they went back, and ...... General Zhang, he ......"

"What! Xiu'er, he also ......" Zhang Ji heard the news, shook suddenly, froze, sat down, and was at a loss. "How many more soldiers do we have?" After a long time, Zhang Jicai asked stupidly.

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, paused, and said: "Back to the lord, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Tongguan City, since we returned to the city, the families of those who died in the war are crowded under the city and crying, and the voices are everywhere.

Zhang Ji looked at the sky blankly, his eyes were blank, his face was neither happy nor angry, and he waved his hand lightly, signaling Zhang Xian not to say anything more. Now, Zhang Ji really feels desperate, Yang Ang and others are dead, and his subordinates and horses are also fleeing for their lives, and now there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and if they continue to defend it, the result will undoubtedly be death!

"Zhang Ji! If you don't come out to see me, be careful of your nephew and the lives of this Huche'er!" Outside the city, Zhao Xu's shout sounded again.

Zhang Ji heard the shout, and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly led Zhang Xian and others to climb the city wall, and when he looked again, he saw that his nephews Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er were on the prisoner car, embarrassed.

"General Zhao, don't hurt my nephew's life, please." Compared with the safety of Tongguan, Zhang Ji is more concerned about Zhang Xiu, a nephew who is like a son.

Zhao Xu knew that Zhang Ji valued Zhang Xiu very seriously, so he forced each other to do so, and shouted at the moment: "Lord Zhang Ji, you and I have already spoken first, we have competed in the battle formation, and now that I have won, you should fulfill your promise!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Ji hesitated, he was reluctant to give up this Tongguan, originally according to the agreement, at this time should be dedicated to Tongguan and Zhao Xu, but Tongguan was lost, Zhang Ji had to go to abolish the capital Chang'an or go to Han Sui, Chang'an has been abolished, Tongguan is returned to Zhao Xu, Chang'an will not be able to hold it, defect to Han Sui? Han Sui has always been proud and complacent, and he can't look at his face every day when he defects to him, not to mention that most of the reinforcements sent by Han Sui have also been lost, and I don't know if Han Sui will blame him, obviously these two methods are the next strategy. But if you sacrifice Tongguan, you can save Zhang Xiu's life, but at that time, you can only surrender Zhao Xu, and then your life will be completely in the hands of Zhao Xu, in case ......

Zhang Ji was entangled, it was not to keep his promise, and it was not to keep his promise.

"Lord, now that the reinforcements from Hanzhong and Yongzhou have left, only the military horses in our hands are left in Tongguan, and Zhao Xu's army is coming to the city again, my lord, how are we doing now?" At this moment, Zhang Xian has no master, and he finally escaped after fighting to the death, and he asked at a loss for Zhao Xu's army because of the strength of his army.

"Panic, what a system! As a general, how can you shake the morale of the army, Tongguan is still there, and we still have the army! What are you afraid of! Seeing Zhang Xian's frightened look, Zhang Ji couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and scolded.

"That ......" Zhang Xian was scolded by Zhang Ji, startled, and then stabilized his mind, now Tongguan is a broken ship, leaking everywhere, if it was before, there are still more than 100,000 troops in Tongguan, maybe you can defend it, but now there are less than 20,000 left, in the face of Zhao Xu's 100,000 army, there is really no chance of winning! He asked tremblingly, "Lord, what should we do now?" If Zhao Xu loses patience and storms Tongguan, will we be able to defend Tongguan? ”

"Shoutong Pass? Ha ha! If it was a few days ago, the outcome was not yet known, but now, with the defeat of less than 20,000 remnants in our hands, how can we stop the army of Zhao Xu, which is ten times our size? But we bet first, and now we have lost, and we should have fulfilled our promise, but ......" Although Zhao Xu is famous for benevolence and righteousness, Zhang Ji is also a suspicious person, and he has no chips in his hands, so he really can't easily trust Zhao Xu.

"My lord! Lord! Oh no! Our other three city gates have killed a few teams of Youzhou and Xianbei Hun cavalry from nowhere, especially the West Gate, and the leader is Sun Zan, the former Taishou Gongsun of Youzhou! How can we respond? Zhang Ji didn't finish speaking, at this time Lei Xu hurriedly ran out, Lei Xu is usually very steady, at this time so anxious, obviously there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the other three city gates, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tongguan has been surrounded.

"What? Gongsun Zan? He's here too? Zhang Xian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lord, that Gongsun Zan is brave and good at fighting, we have been surrounded, what should we do!" ”

Zhang Ji was also desperate at this time, Gongsun Zan was once a prince all the way, brave and good at fighting, Zhang Ji didn't know, and now Tongguan has been surrounded, the grain and grass in the city are limited, and the maximum delay is ten days and a half months, Tongguan is broken, and he will definitely die.

"My lord! Our east gate is Zhao Xu's army, and the other three gates are the Huns, Xianbei and Youzhou cavalry, it is impossible for us to break through, and now there are no reinforcements, what should we do? Did Ino surrender? Lei Xu calmed down, analyzed the current situation, and found that there was no choice now, if he wanted to live, there was only surrender and sacrifice.

"Uncle! Please listen to your nephew's words, General Zhao Xu is like a mountain, benevolent and righteous, if you surrender, you will definitely not harm you, uncle! You'd better surrender as agreed! Zhang Xiu saw that Zhang Ji was reluctant to surrender, and couldn't help but feel worried, knowing that Zhao Xu's refusal to attack the city was to give Zhang Ji another chance, otherwise, he would have waited for a long time, for fear that Zhao Xu would lose his patience and attack Tongguan, at that time, I was afraid that Zhang Ji would definitely die, so he hurriedly shouted.

"But I ......" Zhang Ji heard Zhang Xiu's words, saw Zhang Xiu embarrassed, distressed, and his heart was shaken, but he was also sitting on one side, for the princes of a town, deep down in his heart he was still unwilling to become Liu Bei's knee-down minion, even if Liu Bei didn't kill him, but he had to live in fear every day, it was better to die in battle.

Straight lady thief, Zhang Ji, this guy, it is clear that he wants to resist and fall to the ground! I really don't know what to do. Zhao Xu gradually lost his patience, and scolded in his heart, but Zhao Xu still has a killer weapon, and he is not afraid that Zhang Ji will not surrender. At the moment, he shouted: "Master Zhang Ji, I have given you time and opportunity, if you want to break your word, no wonder my subordinates are ruthless." Zhou Cang, light the wolf smoke! ”

"No!" Zhou Cang listened to the order, even if most of them ran into the military formation, jumped on a small hill, and lit the wolf smoke that had been prepared for a long time.

Jia Xu and the others were at a loss, and they didn't know what Zhao Xu was thinking. "Boxiong! What are you not doing if you don't give the order to siege the city? Zhang Fei shouted.

"Boxiong, what do you mean by this? What do you do with wolf smoke, it's not that we're surrounded. Jia Xu was also very puzzled and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Xu laughed and said with a smile: "This! The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you just wait to see the show! ”

"What heavenly secrets can't be revealed, Boxiong, how can you become so civil, it's really annoying." Zhang Fei is most unaccustomed to selling Guanzi, if there is any plan, to put it bluntly, what is the Guanzi, it will hang people's appetites, and he shouted impatiently.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and ignored it. I saw the wolf smoke behind me, and a huge triangular thing suddenly flew out of the surrounding mountains, and then many of these things flew out, and in an instant they flew over like a dark cloud, and if you looked closely, there were people on it!

"What is this?" Zhang Ji and the others were taken aback and exclaimed.

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng had already guessed that it was Zhao Xu who did it, but this triangular thing took the soldiers into the air, which was really surprising and incomprehensible.

"What is this? Look, isn't that a second dog? And the big pillars, how are they on it? ”

"Yes! A few days ago, the marshal suddenly asked a few of them to go, why did they fly? Isn't it the gods who have appeared to help them fly. ”

"What kind of fairy apparition, what do you think they are doing with such a big piece of cloth on their backs?"

For a while, Zhao Xu's army was surprised and surprised, and all the soldiers were surprised, and they didn't know why.

That's right, Zhao Yun's words that day inspired Zhao Xu, flying into Tongguan, this is a good idea, and immediately ordered his cronies and soldiers to cut down bamboo and trees everywhere, as well as buy cloth and fine craftsmen everywhere, and at the same time sent people to Luoyang to transport a large number of fine cloth and silk. Fly in, there is no airplane, isn't it just right to use a paraglider? After the things were ready, Zhao Xu didn't say a word, handed over the drawings that had already been drawn to those carpenters, and created five or six hundred paragliders, although it was more dangerous, but you could also try it, and afterwards collected the lean soldiers in the general, a total of more than 1,200 people, two soldiers on each paraglider, an archer and a spearman, and then they have been training in secret.

Except for Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and others, no one else knew about this matter, but I didn't expect that before it was done, Yang Ang came out to compete in the battle formation, just delaying time, and on the other hand, he could win a big victory, maybe he didn't have to use a paraglider, why not.

"Boxiong! This... You arranged it? Jia Xu asked incredulously.

All the generals also opened their mouths one by one, looking at the sky in disbelief, since ancient times, flying has always been people's dream, and now they are not surprised to see it with their own eyes.

"That's... Uncle... Boxiong, is this really what you prepared? Zhang Fei slapped himself hard, ah! It hurts! It's not a dream, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, looking at the paraglider in the sky incredulously, Zhang Fei, who is usually mighty and loud, couldn't help but whisper at this time, and asked weakly.

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Haha! That's right, that's exactly what I prepared, I've been training secretly for more than a month, and today it happens to be the West, which comes in handy, tell you! This manned thing is called paragliding! ”
