Zhang Ren also had no confidence, and scolded: "These fools, let them return to the gourd mouth and provoke Lu Bu to do something." Take me with you if you want to die. When you return to Jiameng Pass, you must be severely punished by the military division. ”

"General, what now?"

"What else can I do? Fight! ”

Zhang Ren roared, raised his bright silver spear, and shouted: "Soldiers, quickly surround and kill Lu Bu." Those who get the head of Lu Bu will be rewarded by the king! Those who dare to hesitate will be killed! ”

"Kill..."

Zhang Ren personally went out to kill Lu Bu.

Clang!

Lu Bu became more and more courageous the more he fought, and Fang Tian's halberd flung back, just blocking Zhang Ren's sneak attack. Seeing that Zhang Ren's dress was different from that of ordinary generals, he asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"Admiral Zhang Ren!"

"Hahaha... It's just in time, if you don't come again, I want to go to you. ”

Lu Bu has secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he will also behead Zhang Ren.

Because Zhang Ren was a fierce general under Liu Zhang, and he was also Zhao Yun's senior brother, he had a high prestige in the Shu army, and if he could behead Zhang Ren, the Shu army would inevitably be frightened. This will not only be able to retreat from today's enemy, but will also be conducive to future battles.

"Lu Bu is crazy, look at the knife!" A general rushed out behind Zhang Ren.

With a fat head and big ears, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it looks quite scary.

Lu Bu didn't even bother to ask his name, Fang Tian drew the halberd forward: "Poof!" ”

Unbelievably fast.

With just one move, he killed that general in seconds.

Zhang Ren originally thought about it, first look at Lu Bu's tricks, and then wait for the opportunity to fight. I didn't expect it to end before it started. As a disciple of the spear prodigy Yuan, he shouldn't have been afraid of the enemy, but now he couldn't help but be a little afraid.

"It seems that my martial arts with Lu Bu are still a lot behind..."

Zhang Ren thought in his heart, and he had the idea of retreating.

After Lu Bu finished killing the general with a long knife, he raised Fang Tian's halberd and shouted: "I have heard that Zhang Ren, the general of Shu, is Tong Yuan's disciple and Zhao Yun's senior brother. I have always respected Zhao Yun, and I know that his martial arts are extraordinary, since you are his senior brother, you will not be worse than martial arts. You don't even have the courage to fight me, do you? Don't the heroes of the world laugh off their big teeth? ”

"You...!"

Lu Bu's words hit Zhang Ren's sore spot. In terms of fame and status, he has already surpassed Zhao Yun. But when it comes to martial arts, it is absolutely inferior. is also Zhao Yun's senior brother, which is really embarrassing.

However, he clearly knew that he was not Lu Bu's opponent.

No matter how angry you are, you can't get dizzy and rush over to die.

"Zhang Ren, do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head? Come and fight me to the death! Lu Bu burst into applause.

"Withdraw!"

originally wanted to provoke Zhang Ren, but he didn't expect a burst of applause, but it scared Zhang Ren away.

Lu Bu hurried to catch up.

The enemy soldiers along the way all formed a human wall to cover for Zhang.

Puff puff...

Lu Bu shot mercilessly, slashing the enemy troops who stood in the way. Anyone who touches Fang Tian's halberd should all die. The road forward is full of corpses and rivers of blood.

But the speed of progress is very fast, and it is not as fast as Zhang Ren, who has the intention to escape.

He returned to the mouth of the gourd.

Thousands of elites were gathered and shouted: "Soldiers, we have tens of thousands of enemy troops behind us, and even if we fight with our lives, it is impossible to win." The only chance is to recapture the gourd mouth and defend it according to the danger. ”

"Now listen to my orders and rush to the mouth of the gourd...!"

"Kill...!" The desire to survive doubled the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Zhang Ren's command.

The 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, stationed in Hulukou, threw a large number of grenades in a dangerous and condescending manner. The assault rifle was held in a hidden place, and in the direction of Zhang Ren, it was beaten hard one by one.

The Shu army attacking Hulukou, although it was extremely fierce, it was difficult to cross the battle line in the slightest.

Their bows and arrows, their spears, and their swords were of no use. The only useful thing is the shield, which can withstand the scattered bullets fired by the assault rifles, reducing casualties.

But it's a pity that Zhang Ren's tens of thousands of troops are mostly crossbowmen, but there are very few shield soldiers.

This caused the Shu army that attacked Hulukou to rush forward and fall with a sea of people. It came at a terrible price. The 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, like harvesting wheat in the field, reaped their lives.

The battle did not last long.

Several brigades sent by Xu Shu attacked fiercely. They surrounded them from several directions, making the defeated army of Nanzhai and Zhang Ren's tens of thousands of troops overwhelmed by the enemy.

It's just two hours.

On the battlefield, there were many Shu troops who were willing to surrender.

Xu Shu has long said that the surrendered Shu army cannot be killed.

The brigades followed Xu Shu's instructions and confined them on the spot.

This kind of thing is like a plague. With the first, there will be the second, the third... The soldiers had no scruples, and they were not afraid of being punished from above, so they all surrendered.

Zhang Ren was still attacking at the mouth of the gourd.

He didn't know that the tens of thousands of Shu troops on the battlefield had been disarmed. The 5 brigades of the 1st Army and the 14 brigades of the 2nd Army were all surrounded. And there are fewer and fewer people around him.

"Stepfather (big brother)."

Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao found Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "Shu general Zhang Ren was in Hulukou, and was blocked by my 1st Brigade, presumably the battle is not over yet. Which of you is going to rip his head off for me? Force the remaining Shu army to surrender? ”

"I'll go, I'll go..."

"Don't rob me."

Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao hurriedly got on their horses and galloped to Hulukou.

Xu Shu walked over with a smile and said, "Yuanba and Cunxiao still like to grab credit." Why didn't the lord go himself? Zhang Ren is a tiger general, if the lord is killed, he will be strong. ”

"I'm not going, let them go."

Lu Bu glanced at the battlefield and saw that all the Shu troops had surrendered, so he said: "Send someone to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners back to the camp." We held a celebration banquet in the enemy's camp and feasted the army well. ”

"Yes."

"Wait."

Lu Bu suddenly thought of a very serious question: "The Shu army has surrendered, at least tens of thousands." Can we afford it? ”

"The minister has already thought about it. All the Shu troops who surrendered, provided a bowl of rice porridge every three days, and they would definitely survive. Xu Shu said.

"No way!"

Lu Bu's expression gradually turned cold: "I have already calculated that the food in the camp is only enough for us to eat for a month. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to distribute it to the surrendered Shu army? ”

"My lord... Only one bowl of rice porridge is served every three days. ”

"Half a bowl won't do!"

Lu Bu's expression was solemn, and he complained a little: "How can you allow them to surrender? We have seven brigades, and we can kill them all. You keep them now, what should I do? ”

"What does the lord mean...?"

Xu Shu felt a little bad.

"Don't think about it, I'm not going to kill them." Lu Budao.

"The Lord is merciful..." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't think I'm benevolent, I don't care about fame, I just can't do it." Lu Bu missed Xiang Yu and Bai Qi a little. If these two people are here, and they are sent to attack Hulukou, not a single prisoner of war will be left. If you surrender, you will be buried alive.

Keeping tens of thousands of prisoners of war is a thorny problem.
