Chapter 171: Long overdue
Last night's battle made Zhao Ran's prestige firmly remembered in the hearts of all the soldiers who rebelled with him, and it was really pointed at by the edge and invincible! First of all, he scared down Tongguan without a single soldier, and then attacked the defenseless Liangzhou men and horses at night, and even the eight thousand iron cavalry who set off for the night attack by themselves only lost dozens of people, this is simply a military god!
Zhao Ran returned to Tongguan City in the eyes of the generals in admiration, and obtained more than 5,000 horses in this battle, captured more than 5,000 people, killed more than 3,000 enemies, and captured grain and grass materials were enough for Zhao Ran to eat all the soldiers and horses for more than two months!
When the guards of Tongguan saw their new master return triumphantly, no one dared to use the slightest untimely brain......
All the people were full of awe of Zhao Ran.
As soon as Zhao Ran returned to the Taishou Mansion, he said to his own soldiers: "What's wrong with the Guannai? ”
"General Qiyu, I wanted to incite the surrender of troops for a few moments, but I have been killed by us!"
"Well, you're doing a great job, any other news?"
"Tell the general, according to the general's request, we have sent a probe horse to the direction of Chang'an to investigate, and found that a group of more than 20,000 men and horses is advancing in the direction of our Tongguan!"
"Well, it seems that what the dead ghost Zhang Mao said is the truth, who led this group of people who came to Tongguan this time, and what kind of troops can you find out?"
"General Qiyu, the investigation is clear, it is all infantry, and the banner of the marching general is the word "Chunyu"! ”
As soon as Zhao Ran heard the word "Chunyu", he laughed.
The soldier asked puzzledly, "Why is the general laughing?" ”
"Hahaha, I expected that it must be Chun Yu Ding, does this idiot think that he will be invincible in the world if he can make a sycophant? This time, I have to give him a good taste of General Ben's power! ”
"How is the general going to deal with Chun Yuding? Since they are all infantry, why don't we charge them with cavalry? ”
"There is no need to do this, you ordered people to ambush 3,000 cavalry on each side of the west gate of Tongguan, and then on the city wall, I will arm all those who surrendered with bows and arrows, and then arrange for our 2,000 headquarters to disperse among these surrendered troops, and if they do not obey the order, they will be killed directly on the spot!"
"Yes!"
"You go and arrange for the person who lied to Zhang Guang before to send a letter to Chun Yuding again, saying that I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for him!"
"Yes!"
"As soon as Chun Yuding enters Tongguan City, we will catch turtles in an urn! I will personally take the rest of the 2,000 cavalry to give Yu Chun Yuding a fatal blow in the city!" Hahahaha! ”
The pro-soldier also complied with Zhao Ran chuckled.
Zhao Ran laughed for a while, and suddenly said: "Haha, do you say that Zhang Mao is a little interesting, doing such a thing as killing Taishou, but he dedicated this huge Tongguan to me plainly, and did so many plans for me, what a talent!" Hahaha! ”
"Then why did the general kill him? Leave him behind, maybe he can continue to give advice to the general......
"Hehe, what do you know, this Zhang Mao is really too smart, such a person stays by your side, you don't know when you will be in a different place like Zhang Dan, and I don't need to watch another descendant all day long to remind myself that I am also a traitor......"
The outskirts of the town of Dayao
Zhang Guang, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Yang Maosou, the king of Qiu Chi, both looked very embarrassed, and the first battle of Daiziying Township had wiped out their entire army, and now there were only more than 3,000 stragglers who escaped with them......
Zhang Guang glanced at the remaining remnants of the army with lamentation, he knew very well that most of the people died in the camp, and I don't know how many people escaped and were captured, in short, this battle was the most tragic battle in his life, and it was also the most complete battle defeated......
Yang Jiantou counted the remaining people and horses, the last 3,000 people and horses were basically his own Di people, and there were basically no people left in the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Guang......
Yang Jian lifted the reins of the horse, came to Zhang Guang's side, and said softly: "Lord Assassin Shi, let's rush back to Liangzhou, now the Xiongnu have broken through Tongguan and cut off our road to Chang'an, and now we have to return the same way first......
Zhang Guang glanced at Yang Jiantou gratefully, fortunately, there is still this Di person who is in danger, otherwise he may have died last night......
Zhang Guang nodded helplessly, glanced at Yang Maosou again, and said dejectedly: "Brother Maosou, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Yang Maosou hurriedly came to Zhang Guang's side and comforted: "My Qiu Chi people have always been taken care of by Lord Assassin Shi, and this defeat is not to blame you and me, but we didn't expect that the Huns would capture Tongguan so easily!" ”
"Yes, the old man didn't expect that we were so close to Tongguan, and we didn't find any news, how did this Tongguan fall!?"
Zhang Mai also came to Zhang Guang and the others, and said softly: "I think when I went to Tongguan that day, maybe Tongguan had already fallen, and then the Huns discussed this vicious plan to pretend to come to help......."
When Zhang Guang heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven destroys us!" Tongguan natural danger is gone! Heaven is gone! ”
After Zhang Guang yelled so loudly three times, he suddenly became dizzy and fell under the horse!
Yang Jiantou and the others suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, quickly helped Zhang Guang to the horse, and quickly evacuated to Ningshan County.
Three hundred miles outside the west gate of Tongguan
Chun Yuding is riding on the horse slowly, such a cold weather, he has to work so hard to make Chun Yuding irritable!
"Go and ask, how long will it take to reach Tongguan?"
"Tell the general, there are less than three hundred miles left!"
"Oh, it's only more than three hundred miles?! Well, then let the whole army continue to maintain this marching speed! ”
"General, if this delays the delivery of military rations, if something happens in Tongguan, it will be difficult for us to explain to the king of Nanyang......"
"Fart! What's the trouble?! ”
"Yes, yes, villains are ignorant......".
"You don't know, Tongguan guards Zhang Dan is full of oil and water, what kind of food and grass are not good, they are all farts!"
"General, how do you say this?"
"Hehe, you are also my confidant, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this Zhang Dan is the most greedy, I don't know how many good things I hid behind my back, not to mention grain and grass, just this Tongguan's 30,000 establishment, he has at least eaten about 10,000 empty salaries!"
"So much?"
"Hehe, so this kid definitely wants to take advantage of the Huns' seizure of the border this time, and wantonly ask for food and money from the king of Nanyang, so as to fill his pocket, I expect that his savings are enough for him to support for a few more months, so we don't have to rush to send him something!"
"It's still the general who knows everything!"
When Chun Yuding was proudly analyzing Zhang Dan's various possibilities, one of his own soldiers hurried over.
"Gift...... Reported to the general, Zhang Dan, the Taishou of Tongguan, had already sent someone to greet the general, saying that he had prepared wine and food in the pass to wash the dust for the general! ”
"Hehehehe, this Zhang Dan is really interesting, okay, then we will also speed up the pace, order to go down, the whole army will speed up the march, and be sure to arrive at Tongguan at noon tomorrow! I'm running around for him so much this time, I want to see how Zhang Dan can honor me well, hahaha! ”
