Chapter 213: The Shu army retreats
Under the rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Shu army who climbed on the cloud ladder instantly became dumplings, and they fell directly, either dead or disabled. Zhang Ren's face turned pale, he was originally going to be intentional and unintentional, who knew that Jia Mengguan had already taken precautions?
This formatting, and then forcibly attacking Jia Meng Pass, is obviously irrational.
"Retreat, retreat to the camp!" Zhang Ren roared angrily.
The Shu army blocked the wall retreated like a tide, but it was not panicked.
The Shu army retreated, and the defenders on Jiameng Pass no longer let out arrows to chase and kill.
At the end of the day, it was the allies, and without a complete face, Zhuge Liang was not good at killing and injuring too much to the Shu army. Besides, the problem that Uncle Liu Huang and Liu Xichuan only saw was the problem that the upper-level bigwigs only saw, even if the low-level soldiers killed and injured more, what good would it be?
Of course, letting Wei Yan copy the camp of the Shu army was just forcing the Shu army to retreat to Sichuan.
Zhang Ren took 3,000 cavalry to the palace, beware of Jia Mengguan sending troops to chase and kill.
More than 20,000 infantry troops took a step forward and retreated like a tide towards the large camp ten miles away. The sneak attack on Jiameng Pass just now was unsuccessful, and the Shu army attacked Jiameng Pass and retreated at the touch of a button, and the damage was not very much. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the defenders did not fire arrows to chase and kill.
Zhang Ren kept looking back, looking at Jia Mengguan angrily, and he was angry in his heart.
At this time, he saw the retreating infantry army in front of him, and suddenly the formation was chaotic, and the chaotic infantry army even had the intention of running back, and Zhang Ren was even more angry in his heart. When the soldiers were withdrawn from Jiameng Pass just now, so many people didn't see how chaotic it was, and they were about to retreat to the camp, and the soldiers were actually chaotic in an instant?
"General, our battalion has been attacked!"
In the midst of the chaos, Zhang Ren beat several people with horsewhips, but several commanders ran out of the chaos.
However, the news brought by these captains made Zhang Ren almost vomit blood.
Someone attacked the camp of their Shu army?
Zhang Ren jumped up and stood on horseback to look at the camp.
Sure enough, Zhang Ren saw that the camp had been captured, and there was no fire in the camp, but the bonfires used for lighting had been added to the sky, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who had stayed in the camp were also kicked out at this time.
At this time, what else does Zhang Ren not understand?
It must be that Zhuge Kong will arrive early tomorrow, he Zhang Ren will sneak attack Jiameng Pass tonight, and then send troops out of the pass in advance to ambush, just wait for him Zhang Ren to lead the troops to sneak attack Jiameng Pass, this ambush Liu Beijun can take advantage of the weakness.
Zhuge Kongming, as expected, lived up to his reputation, and he Zhang Ren saw it today.
It can be calculated that he Zhang Ren wants to sneak attack Jia Meng Pass, which is not too difficult for a wise man.
However, if you want to calculate when he Zhang Ren will sneak attack Jia Mengguan, this is not something that can be known by blind guessing.
Also, he Zhang Ren sneaked up on Jiameng Pass, who knows if he will take all the Shu troops in the camp out of the camp?
However, Zhuge Kongming has calculated all of them!
"Poof!"
A mouthful of old blood, unable to hold it back any longer, Zhang Ren Yangtian spit out a rain of blood.
Then, Zhang Ren fell down from the horse.
"General!"
"General!"
The soldiers and several captains exclaimed, and then quickly rushed to Zhang Ren's side to see if their general was swollen.
However, this time, Zhang Ren was really angry and fainted.
The main general Zhang Ren fainted, and many of the captains who led the troops were not together, so they didn't know what to do.
Continue to attack Jiameng Pass?
Obviously impossible.
Retake the camp?
This also seems unlikely.
However, if they don't recapture the camp, where will their tens of thousands of people go?
Is it possible to wait for death under Jia Mengguan?!
"Why don't we retreat to the Sword Gate?" The generals looked at each other, but one of them proposed.
Now, the main general Zhang Ren is unconscious, and where the army should go must be discussed and decided by them, the captains who lead the troops.
After all, if they wait for the main general to wake up, their tens of thousands of Shu troops will be dumplings made by the enemy army!
The generals look at me, and I look at yours, and they all think it's a good idea.
At this moment, their tens of thousands of Shu troops have no big camp, and they have no supplies, and they don't even have breakfast tomorrow morning.
Jianmen Pass, less than 100 miles away from Jiameng Pass, the two passes look at each other from afar.
If they retreat and return to Jianmen Pass, they will be able to retreat overnight.
As for the defeat, the defeat and retreat to the Sword Gate Pass?
It's none of their business with the low-level generals!
After making up their minds, the generals returned to their respective posts, took the soldiers under their command, and began to spread their feet and flee towards the Sword Gate. And the main general Zhang Ren, who was in a coma, with his own personal soldiers, also began to flee towards Jianmen Pass.
……
Jia Meng closed the shut, watching the Shu army retreat, Zhuge Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to provoke Zhang Ren so that the Shu army would attack Jiameng Pass in a fit of rage, and this plan was almost realized. Now, there is an excuse to enter the army, but Zhuge Liang knows that now is not the time to enter the army.
This excuse can only be kept for the time being, and it may be used in the future.
Because now, the small group of Uncle Liu Huang is a little overwhelmed.
At the beginning, Liu Bei was defeated from Xuzhou and came to invite him Zhuge Kongming to go out of the mountain, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. But what about now? But swallowed the entire territory of Hanzhong, and after receiving the passes of various cities in Hanzhong, Uncle Liu Huang's soldiers and horses will be no less than 100,000 people.
Almost from scratch, this was done in just three or four months.
Suddenly, there was a surge of 100,000 soldiers and horses, including all kinds of soldiers: borrowed Jingzhou soldiers, surrendered Hanzhong soldiers, surrendered soldiers and captured soldiers, and of course newly recruited soldiers and horses, but Uncle Liu's descendants were few and few.
Also, the number of cities has increased, and the people are reassured, taxes, tea population, tuntian, etc., all of which need to be closely followed.
If so, Uncle Liu's small group is a little overwhelmed.
At this time, if you continue to maintain an offensive posture, if you encounter defeat, you may collapse globally.
So, this is the time to stop the pace of attacking, stop and digest it.
In his previous life, after Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu, it took him nearly eight years to digest the four states of Hebei!
After dawn, Wei Yan also returned with the capture.
The battalion of tens of thousands of Shu troops is still relatively rich in various materials. Not to mention anything else, it is grain and grass, which is enough for 5,000 soldiers in Jiamengguan to eat for several years, so there is no need to transfer military rations from Hanzhong City again.
Yes, now that the war has come to an end and the Shu army has retreated to Jianmen Pass, Zhuge Liang is only ready to garrison 5,000 troops at Jiameng Pass, that is, the 5,000 light cavalry under Wei Yan's department, and the 5,000 light cavalry that have not yet been trained and matured.
After all, the Shu army is an ally, and after retreating to Jianmen Pass, it is impossible to raise troops to attack Jiameng Pass in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is a complete waste to deploy too many troops in Jiameng Pass.
Zhuge Liang has not forgotten that Guanzhong is only afraid that there is a large army that is rushing towards Hanzhong.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Shu army has nothing to do to attack Jiameng Pass.
This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang asked Wei Yan to garrison Jiameng Pass.
Wei Yan is a general, and the original owner was familiar with his abilities in his previous life.
To Wei Yan alone, it is completely trivial. With him sitting in Jiameng Pass, it is okay if the Shu army does not come to find trouble, if the Shu army comes, it is impossible for Wei Yan to grasp the opportunity and win the Jianmen Pass in one fell swoop.
