Chapter 167: Defeat (Part I)

Xicheng County, outside the city, Zhang Lu's face was pale, and the anger in his chest was rubbing and preparing to go out.

After the three thousand pioneers rode into the city, Zhang Lushang didn't know if he had been selected; But after Yan Zhi entered the city with an army of 50,000, the Xicheng Gate of Xicheng County lowered the jack gate with a "clang", and Zhang Lu knew that he had won the plan.

Immediately afterwards, the rows of torches lit up on the city gate tower and the city wall made Zhang Lu so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Fools know that this is to invite you into the urn, and the 50,000 army led by Yan Zhi is completely finished!

"Smack" Zhang Lu raised his horsewhip and whipped Yang Song on the head fiercely.

"This is the outstanding son of your Yang family, is that how he is too guarded?!"

"That Yang Bai not only eats inside and out, but can also lead me into the urn, hateful! Damn it! Zhang Lu whipped a whip and asked.

Of course, Zhang Lu knew that Yang Song was loyal, but Yang Ren and Yang Bai were really hateful, not to mention the enemy, they actually designed it the other way around, wanting to lead him Zhang Lu into the urn, this is not just as simple as killing him, even the Nine Clans are not exaggerated!

Fortunately, he Zhang Lu kept an eye on it and did not personally lead the troops into the city.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be him Zhang Lu who is now trapped in the city?

Right now, it is naturally impossible to skin Yang Ren and Yang Bai with cramps, and Zhang Lu's anger can only be vented on Yang Song.

Who called Jansson their brother?

There is a way that the eldest brother is like a father, and the Yang family has taught such two guys who sell their masters to seek glory, who can Yang Song has no responsibility?

Yang Song was whipped, but he gritted his teeth and stood firm, not daring to complain in the slightest. It can't be said that Yang Song has no complaints, but his complaints are all directed at Yang Ren and Yang Bai. The highest level of Brother Teh, is just Yang Ren like this, right?

"Your brothers will join the enemy if they surrender to the enemy, why do you have to do it again?"

"Lao Tzu finally appeased the lord, your surrender to the enemy will not implicate our Yang family, but now you have pit the lord's army of tens of thousands, this time don't say that the Yang family will not be implicated, I'm afraid that even Lao Tzu will not have a good time!"

Yang Song was also resentful in his heart, if Yang Ren and Yang Bai were right in front of him, Yang Song would have the heart to cut them with a thousand knives.

……

"The enemy army in the city listens, my eldest brother has an order, and he must wait for half a pillar of incense to surrender."

"Otherwise, our army will surely fire ten thousand arrows!"

Zhang Fei's voice on the city wall, Zhang Lu and Yang Song naturally recognized it.

Zhang Lu was no longer smoking Yang Song's whip at this time, and closed his eyes in pain.

was invited into the urn and pit more than 50,000 troops, even if he retreated to Nanzheng City, he Zhang Lu was afraid that it would be difficult to support him, right?

Liu Bei is still good at saying that he will definitely consolidate the fruits of victory in the eastern part of Hanzhong, and most of them will not pursue to the city of Nanzheng.

He also didn't have that many troops to pursue.

But Liu Zhangke is not necessarily.

As a feud, how could Liu Zhang miss the opportunity?

Without Zhang Xiu's and his zombies as helpers, how could he Zhang Lu block Liu Zhang's counterattack?

Besides, now, more than half of the Hanzhong army has been lost, and the rest of these soldiers are afraid that it will be difficult to stop Liu Zhang, right?

"What should I do?"

"Shall we run away?"

"Whoever makes a noise without permission, slash!"

The noisy business of the soldiers and the sound of the officers playing and suppressing came from time to time, which made Zhang Lu so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Not everyone in the army is a fool, and many people are clear about the current situation.

Their Hanzhong army was pitted by the enemy, and 50,000 elites were lost in the city, and now they only have 30,000 elite soldiers left, or 30,000 people with even lower morale, in case the enemy army goes out of the city at this time for a decisive battle, can they fight?

"Lord, let's withdraw the army!"

"If we don't leave, if we are entangled by the enemy, we won't be able to leave if we want to!"

Yang Song wiped a handful of blood from his head and suggested in a low voice.

The whip that Zhang Lu had just now could be regarded as whipping him to the point that his skin was open, and his head was drenched in blood.

However, Yang Song will not resent the lord Zhang Lu. This is his Yang Song's brother in the pit lord, the lord did not immediately behead him Yang Song, he was already as graceful as the sea, how could Yang Song complain?

……

Xicheng County, on the city wall.

The enemy's main general, Yan Zhi, cut himself, and the black light was blind, and everyone on the city wall naturally didn't see it clearly, but seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Hanzhong army began to surrender, Liu Bei was happy in his heart, and Zhuge Liang was also relieved.

Nearly half of the elite was lost, and Zhang Lu's counterattack ended here, right?

Next, their Uncle Liu Group can finally sit firmly in half of Hanzhong, and in time, they will be able to really do something.

As for that, will it pursue Zhang Lu?

Zhuge Liang can only "hehe".

Later generations of Taizu and his old people once said that it is advisable to chase the poor with courage, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him. Right now, it is the time when Zhang Lu's strength is the most seriously damaged, and if you don't take the opportunity to enter the hinterland of Hanzhong at this time, do you have to wait for Zhang Lu's strength to recover before going to fight him?

What's more, Liu Zhang is afraid that he will not miss the opportunity.

In case Liu Zhang defeated Zhang Lu, their Liu Huangshu group would have no excuse to continue expanding westward.

Only before Liu Zhang destroyed Zhang Lu, they Liu Beijun occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong, or at least most of Hanzhong, resulting in a fait accompli, and Liu Zhang had nothing to say.

Want the lord Liu Bei to return to Hanzhong?

At that time, I am afraid that it will be more than Zhuge Liang "hehe", but also ask Guan Yu if they agree, and the lord Liu Bei will not agree.

This is not a previous life borrowed from Jingzhou!

"Lord, you can summon General Yun Chang to attack Zhang Lu's military formation."

The overall situation in the city has been decided, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei.

……

The urn city plan is actually nothing, as long as the enemy falls into the urn city, the rest is not that they can pinch it as much as they want?

But outside the city, Zhang Lu still has 30,000 elites in his hands.

Although Zhang Lu is no longer afraid, how could Zhuge Liang let him withdraw safely?

It must be known that Zhang Lu, who retreated to the hinterland of Hanzhong, will have 350,000 elite soldiers around him at that time, or only more than 10,000 remnants, which is also different for the difficulty of the lord to capture the entire territory of Hanzhong.

Therefore, when carrying out the urn city plan, Zhuge Liang had already asked Guan Yu to lead a group of elite cavalry and wait outside the south gate for a long time. As long as the urn city plan is successful and Zhang Lu does not have many elite soldiers around him, Guan Yu can lead his troops to attack.

This move may not be able to kill Zhang Lu.

But under the panic of the people, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left around Zhang Lu will inevitably flee in many ways. Even, as long as Guan Yu keeps hanging behind and chasing, Zhang Lu just wants to stop and take a breath at that time, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

In this way, when Zhang Lu fled back to the hinterland of Hanzhong, how many soldiers and horses would be left around him?

Zhang Lu, who doesn't have many soldiers and horses, what will he use to defend Nanzheng City when the time comes?

At that time, Zhuge Liang only needs to follow up with the lord, and it is not difficult to say that he will take Nanzheng City.
