Chapter 40: Defeat Zhang Lu's three major generals
"Zilong, you lead 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, arrive at Xunyang County first, before the main force of the army arrives, cut the general to demoralize the enemy, and it is best to take the city by taking advantage of the situation."
"Zilong commands!" Zhao Yun commanded.
"Yun Chang, Fengxiao, you two will lead the Chinese army of 40,000 with me, and this battle will take Hanzhong." Liu Yu ordered one after another.
"Yun Chang, I am ordered by filial piety!" Guan Yu and Guo Jia also bowed their hands together.
Liu Yu only left 15,000 troops to defend the three counties of Shangyong, and the remaining 45,000 troops slaughtered Hanzhong County.
As Guo Jia expected, Liu Zhang's conquest of Zhang Lu only sent about 28,000 troops, and in less than 20 days, Zhang Lu was beaten to the point that he lost his armor and returned to Shu.
"Hahahaha, a bunch of rats." The soldiers of Zhang Lu's army laughed and defeated Liu Zhang's army who fled.
Zhang Lu also snorted coldly, Liu Zhang killed his mother, don't want to take him Hanzhong, if there is a chance in the future, he will also kill into Shu and kill Liu Zhang to avenge his mother.
Just as Zhang Lu led the army back to Hanzhong County, before he could rest, a military horse came from the east.
"Report ......"
"Shangyong Taishou Liu Yu led an army of 45,000 people to attack Hanzhong, and the vanguard has reached the city of Xunyang County."
Zhang Lu was shocked, he stood up abruptly and said, "What, that Liu Yu, Liu Shimin actually attacked me?" ”
Although when Liu Yu joined Weixing and Xincheng counties, he also guarded against Liu Yu's invasion, but after nearly two years, Liu Yu has been extremely calm, and he never thought that Liu Yu would suddenly attack him.
"Generals, how is it good?" Zhang Lu was a little flustered.
Although Liu Zhang has the entire Yizhou, Zhang Lu knows the situation in Yizhou, as well as Liu Zhang's talent, etc., so he is not afraid of Liu Zhang at all, but the three Liu Yu brothers, three horsemen to seize the city, a hundred battles of the Yellow Turban, beheading Huaxiong, drawing with Lu Bu, chasing and defeating Dong Zhuo, the statement is too loud, and he also brought as many as 45,000 troops to attack him, this, how can he be the enemy?
"Don't worry, the lord, we will swear to protect the lord and defend Hanzhong." Yang Ang, who had just defeated Liu Zhang's army with Zhang Lu, Yang Ren and other generals led the way.
"Everyone, if you can retire Liu Yu, I will not forget your achievements." Zhang Lu nodded, seeing that his subordinates were united, he regained a lot of confidence.
Immediately, Zhang Lu ordered Yang Ang, and Yang Ren and his brother Zhang Wei jointly led 20,000 troops to resist Liu Yu's army.
This is already almost all the troops that Zhang Lu can send at the moment, except for defending the county seat of Hanzhong.
Indeed, he had more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, but in a battle with Liu Zhang's army, although it was not difficult to win, he also lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners of Liu Zhang's army, but these prisoners could not be used at all when they had time to be selected and reorganized in the future.
Xunyang County.
A general of Zhang Lujun and a thousand soldiers stopped in front of the city gate, and he pointed a gun at Zhao Yun, who led 3,000 cavalry to kill Zhao Yun under the city, and asked: "Who is coming, dare to violate the boundary of my lord's land?" ”
"Changshan Zhao Zilong!" Zhao Yun shouted in response, and rushed over on a flying horse, directly taking the general.
Zhao Yun shouted like thunder, and with the momentum of rushing over like a tiger, this general and the thousand soldiers behind him couldn't help but be confused. This general had also heard of Zhao Yun's name, but when he saw that Zhao Yun had given up three thousand cavalry behind him, he dared to rush directly at him on a single horse, he responded angrily, and Pegasus met Zhao Yun.
The two fought, and in just one round, the general was stabbed in the chest by Zhao Yun with a shot, and fell to his death on the spot.
After killing this general, Zhao Yun rushed into the 1,000 Lu soldiers, and killed the 1,000 Lu soldiers on their backs, and they didn't have time to close the city gate, or they were so frightened that they didn't know how to close the city gate.
"Kill!" Three thousand Shangyong cavalry also killed, and in an instant, they entered Xunyang County with Zhao Yun.
Fifty miles away, Liu Yu's army was the main force.
"Report! General Zhao has taken Xunyang County. "A soldier rode his horse to report the victory.
Liu Yu was overjoyed: "Okay, Zilong has taken Xunyang County, and we must speed up the march and make peace with Zilong." Immediately, Liu Yu ordered the army to speed up.
In other words, Yang Ang, Yang Ren, and Zhang Wei led an army of 20,000 to aid Xunyang County, and they wanted to block Liu Yu's army in Xunyang County, but before they arrived in Xunyang County, the county seat had already been taken by Zhao Yun.
The three of them were shocked, knowing that it was impossible to recapture Xunyang County, so they had to find a favorable terrain on the spot and set up camp.
The next day, Liu Yu's army was killed in front of the three-person camp, and the three had to lead the troops to meet the battle.
"I'm Yang Ren." Yang Ren stepped out with a gun to challenge the generals in Liu Yu's army, hoping to win one game and boost morale.
Guan Yu had already endured it for a long time, and he picked up his knife and flew out.
"I'm Guan Yu!" Guan Yu faced Yang Rendao directly.
Yang Ren tightened the spear in his hand, Guan Yu had beheaded Hua Xiong, and Yang Ren was also a little jealous, but he was even more afraid of Zhao Yun, who had fought with Lu Bu for five hundred rounds.
"Look at the guns!" Yang Ren took the lead in attacking Guan Yu.
The two horses intersect and the two fight.
Yang Ren is the first general under Zhang Lu, although he does not belong to one of the twenty-four fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, but he was able to fight Xiahou Yuan for nearly 100 rounds in history before he was defeated, and his strength should not be underestimated, but it is a pity that he met Guan Yu.
In less than twenty rounds of the battle, Yang Ren felt extremely difficult, and after more than thirty rounds of the battle, Yang Ren suddenly took out his spear, and Guan Yu's big knife was only a fist away from his neck.
Yang Ren was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse, and after reacting, he turned the horse back and fled.
Guan Yu didn't chase after him, and let Yang Ren escape, only said: "If it weren't for the eldest brother's order, if I want to finally surrender Zhang Lu, try not to take the life of the general under Zhang Lu, I have beheaded Yang Ren." ”
After Yang Ren fled back to the camp, Guan Yu continued to challenge Zhang Lujun's camp.
"Wait for the rats, Guan Yu is here, who dares to come out to fight me!"
"No one? Rats, timid as rats, why don't you surrender my eldest brother quickly......" Guan Yu scolded for a while, Zhang Lu was in the army, and Yang Ang couldn't help it.
"I, Yang Ang, are here to fight you." Yang Ang also used a big knife, and after he flew out of the flying horse, he went straight to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu smiled contemptuously: "It's a good time." ”
Immediately, he also turned his horse forward.
Boom! The two fought with horses, struck each other, and fought together.
Yang Ang was obviously not as brave as Yang Ren, and in less than ten rounds, he was slashed in the arm by Guan Yu and fled back. There is no doubt that if Guan Yu hadn't intentionally let Yang Ang live, Yang Ang would not only have been cut off on his arm, but his entire arm would have been cut off, and his life would definitely not be guaranteed.
"Guan Yu, who slashed Huaxiong, is so powerful, isn't Zhao Yun, who fought with Lu Bu for five hundred rounds, even more powerful, I can't beat them." Zhang Lujun's camp, Zhang Wei was shocked.
Yang Ren, Yang Ang lost two times in a row, and at most only lasted more than 30 rounds under Guan Yu's knife, Zhang Wei knew that his martial arts were worse than Yang Ang, how could he dare to fight.
Guan Yu has been scolding for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Lujun has closed the camp gate, so that the morale of the soldiers of the whole army has plummeted, if it goes on like this, it will not take a few days, and there is no need for Liu Yu's whole army to rush over, as long as Guan Yu blocks the camp gate every day and scolds, the morale of Zhang Lujun's soldiers will have to collapse, and the soldiers have no morale, and there will be no other result except for the fiasco.
Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang didn't know what to do.
"What should I do?" Zhang Wei was helpless.
At this time, Yang Ren suddenly said: "Liu Yu's army defeated our two generals in a row during the day, and his whole army has strong morale, but the soldiers are also arrogant and do not know vigilance, if we attack the whole army at night and go to attack the camp, if we can win, there is a slight possibility of repelling Liu Yu." ”
At this time, Yang Ren could think of the only opportunity.
Yang Ang and Zhang Wei glanced at each other, and it seemed that there was only one way to go.
……
The strategy of Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and Zhang Wei is just that under normal circumstances, they encounter an army that is not very good at fighting, but Liu Yu rose from the rise, first conquered the Yellow Turban for nearly a year, and then fought with the Princes Alliance against Dong Zhuo, fighting one after another, and now he is sitting on the land of the three counties, how can he be arrogant with a small victory.
The camp of the Shangyong army.
Liu Yu said to Guo Jia: "I have prepared the whole army to attack, rush to kill the camp of Zhang Lu's army, with the strong morale of our army and the low morale of Zhang Lu's army, I will be able to easily break through its camp, defeat Zhang Lu's army, and go straight to the city of Hanzhong County, why did Feng Xiao stop it?" ”
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, this forced attack on the camp of the Zhang Lu army, although the morale of our army is strong, the morale of the Zhang Lu army is low, and it can easily break through the camp and defeat the army of Zhang Lu, but the loss should also be around three thousand, but it only takes a little one day, and the loss of our army can be defeated by a maximum of one thousand." ”
"Fourth brother, why is this?" Zhao Yun asked.
Guo Jia said: "The two generals of Zhang Lu's army were defeated by the second brother in a row, there is no one who can defeat the second brother's general, the morale of the soldiers is difficult to recover, and the number is far less than our army, as long as the three people who command Zhang Lu's army have a little talent, they will be able to imagine, attacking the camp at night is their only chance left, so there is more than ninety percent of the possibility, Zhang Lu's army will come to attack our army camp tonight, and our army only needs to set up an ambush in advance, and it can defeat Zhang Lu's army at the minimum cost." ”
"Hahahaha, if it weren't for Feng Xiao to stop me, I would have almost caused the army to lose 2,000 more soldiers, Feng Xiao is really talented." Liu Yu stood up and laughed and praised.
……
In the middle of the night, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and Zhang Wei really took Zhang Lu's army out of the nest to attack the camp.
"Kill!"
Yang Yiyi took the lead, Yang Ang followed, and Zhang Wei, together with 20,000 Zhang Lu's army, raided the camp of Liu Yu's Shangyong army.
Liu Yu was not in the camp at all at this time, but was riding on horseback, and beside him was Guo Jia.
Liu Yu sneered disdainfully: "Hehe, you really dare to come to rob the camp at night, since this is the case, then stay all." ”
Yang Ren led the 20,000 Zhang Lu army just to rush into Liu Yu's Shangyong military camp, but suddenly found that there were not many soldiers in Liu Yu's Shangyong military camp at all.
"Oh no, I've been tricked." Yang Ren's faces changed greatly.
"Kill!" The Shangyong army rushed out from all directions and besieged Yang Ren and other 20,000 Zhang Lu troops.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were like two unstoppable blades, leading the soldiers of the Shangyong Army to rush into the 20,000 Zhang Lu army to fight in front of the vertical and horizontal, they were like entering a no-man's land, killing Zhang Lu's army was difficult to resist, people turned over on their backs, chaotic, and suffered heavy casualties.
