A hundred repeaters, salvo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThousands of iron crossbow arrows roared and flew to Cao Jun in front, the speed was so fast, before Cao Jun took off the shield he was holding and put it in front, the iron crossbow arrows came in front of him.

"Poof, poof". The popping sound was non-stop, and each sound indicated that the iron crossbow arrow had been shot into the body of the Cao soldier.

The effect of the first wave of crossbows was very good, and this time it killed hundreds of Cao soldiers, and a general of the Cao army who rushed to the front was also shot with several arrows, looking like a hedgehog from a distance.

"Reload!" Zhang Ren shouted loudly.

After ten arrows in a repeater are fired, they need to be reloaded quickly, and it will take a lot of time to reload.

Seeing that the soldiers had finished loading, Zhang Ren shouted "launch" loudly, and thousands of iron crossbow arrows flew towards Cao Jun again. The follow-up troops of the Cao army also rushed to a distance of more than thirty steps from the Shu army camp while they were loading. Another wave of arrows passed, and the Cao soldiers who rushed to the forefront were shot and killed. This time, Cao's soldiers all put their shields in front of them, but many of them were still shot.

Wave after wave, I don't know how many waves were shot, I saw the corpses of countless Cao soldiers falling in front of the Shu army's camp, and the nearest was only more than ten steps away from the Shu army's camp.

"Soldiers, kill!" Zhang Ren shouted loudly, and then took the lead in rushing out of the camp.

The Shu army in the camp saw Zhang Ren kill out, and they followed one by one.

At this time, more than 10,000 troops led by Zhang Jaw had been shot and killed, and the soldiers of the Cao army were already a little afraid of the Shu army in their hearts. Zhang Ren saw this and led his troops to kill him. Besides, the number of iron crossbow arrows is limited after all, and Zhang Ren can't let the soldiers fire iron crossbow arrows.

The troops led by Zhang Ren were waiting for work at ease and had high morale, but the soldiers of the Cao army were a little tired after charging for such a long time, and they died so many soldiers before they rushed to the Shu army camp, and there was some fear in their hearts.

Sure enough, less than a moment after Zhang Ren led his troops to engage the Cao army, the Cao army showed defeat.

Half an hour later, Cao's army retreated.

In the next few days, Xiahou Yuan personally led people to attack the mountain where Zhang Ren was located, and Zhang Ren relied on three hundred crossbows to defend this peak. However, the losses were also very large, and after a few days of fighting of 5,000 people, there were less than 2,000 left.

On the fifth day of the battle, Liu Feng was ordered by Liu Bei to lead his troops to Zhang Ren to support Zhang Ren.

In the past few days, Zhang Bao also led the soldiers to come to the valley every night, beating gongs and drums. Zhang Bao obeyed Shi Yuan's orders, and every time he went to Zouma Valley, he took a different route, which made Cao's army, which was preparing to ambush halfway, pounce every time. Because Zhang Bao led the troops to interfere every night, the spirit of the Cao soldiers was getting worse and worse day by day. It is also because of this reason that Zhang Ren was able to hold this mountain peak for such a long time.

Liu Beijun's tent.

"Strategist, it's been so many days since the Cao army attacked Zhang Rendu, shouldn't we also take action." Zhang Fei, who came from the camp, said to Shi Yuan.

Because Guo Huai led 10,000 soldiers to move non-stop on the other side of the Han River, it seemed that he was ready to cross the river at any time, so Zhang Fei stayed in his camp for the past few days, guarding against Guo Huai. But for many days, Guo Huai led his troops to do almost the same thing on the other side of the river, and Zhang Fei was also a little impatient. Moreover, where Zhang Ren fought so happily, Zhang Fei was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, so he came to Liu Bei's military tent alone today. Originally, Zhang Fei was going to call Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was worried that Guo Huai would take advantage of Zhang Fei's absence to cross the river, so he didn't come with Zhang Fei.

"Third brother, don't mess around. If you don't stay at your post, what are you doing here? Liu Bei said slightly angrily.

"Big brother."

"Haha, Yide seems to be greedy. Also, let Yide stay idle like this, no wonder Yide is unhappy.

Lord, during this period of time, Zhang Bao's harassment of Cao Jun was very effective, and now Cao Jun can be said to be languishing one by one, so it is time for us to act. Moreover, General Ma Chao also wrote to say that Haoqiang in the land of Longxi has also begun to act now, and there must be no problem in dragging the Cao army in the land of Longxi.

The soldiers in Baishui Pass and Guancheng have rested for such a long time, and they must have rested from the battle some time ago, and I heard from General Wei Yan's letter that the morale of the soldiers was very strong.

Lord, it's our turn. ”

Shi Yuan stood up, walked in front of Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei.

"Okay, Shiyuan. Then you can give the order! Liu Bei said happily.

"Yide, you immediately rush to the barracks, join forces with General Zhao Yun, and then lead the army across the Han River to contain Guo Huai's 10,000 soldiers.

Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Lei Tong, Chen Shi, the four of you led more than 20,000 people to lead the army to cross the Han River, remember to be fast, and you must cross the Han River during the period of time when Yide contained Guo Huai. After crossing the Han River, the whole army attacked the city of Hanzhong. Now that the soldiers of the Cao army are far away from Hanzhong City, there are not many defenders in the city at all, and the four of you must take advantage of the period of Hanzhong City, which Cao Jun has not had time to rescue, to take Hanzhong City.

Lord, please also give General Wei Yan an order, let General Wei Yan use his troops to attack Yangping Pass. In order to contain the Cao army in Yangping Pass. At the same time, General Huang Zhong led the army from Wudu to attack Xiazhi and contain the Cao army that was holding Xiazhi.

After Xiahou Yuan learned that our army had crossed the Han River, he would definitely lead the army to rescue Hanzhong, and then we could take advantage of the Cao army to cross the river and give the Cao army a two-sided attack and annihilate the Cao army. ”

"Haha, okay. Awesome, Strategist. Zhang Fei laughed out loud, and at the same time kept stretching out his thumb to Shi Yuan.

"I'll go to the barracks and cross the Han River with General Zhao Yun."

"Yide, whether our army can succeed this time is very crucial to you and General Zhao Yun. It is necessary to contain Guo Huai's 10,000 soldiers so that they cannot return to Hanzhong City. In this way, our army will be able to take Hanzhong City, and then occupy the whole of Hanzhong. ”

"Don't worry, I know it." After General Zhang Fei finished speaking, he gestured to Liu Bei and turned to leave.

"Shi Yuan, I finally understand why you insisted on letting Cao Jun cross the river in the first place." Liu Bei nodded and smiled.

After Shi Yuan heard the lord's words, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to Liu Bei, and said:

"The lord trusts him so much, Shi Yuan is terrified."

The battle on the mountain where General Zhang Ren was located had been going on, and after Liu Feng led reinforcements to arrive, it relieved a lot of Zhang Ren's defensive pressure. However, there is bad news, that is, Liu Bi was unfortunately killed by Cao Jun in a battle. Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, Deng Xian, the three of them are Liu Bei who surrendered together, and now Liu Bi was killed by Cao Jun, and the anger in their hearts can be imagined.

Xiahou Yuan was also very angry in his heart, seeing that he was about to take this mountain, but he didn't expect the Shu army to come to reinforcements again. Xiahou Yuan was also difficult to decide for a while, because many Cao army generals felt that the price paid to take this mountain peak was too great, and it was obvious that the Shu army was prepared, but the battle was fought so far, and they retreated like this, and many Cao army generals were unwilling in their hearts, and Xiahou Yuan was also unwilling in their hearts.

Later, Xiahou Yuan decided to continue the offensive despite public opinion, vowing to take this mountain peak and capture Zhang Ren and others alive. At the same time, Xiahou Yuan sent some soldiers to the east of this mountain peak to prevent reinforcements from the Shu army.

After Zhang Fei listened to Shi Yuan's words, he hurriedly returned to his camp, and after seeing Zhao Yun, he told Zhao Yun what Shi Yuan said. After Zhao Yun heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. The two immediately ordered the soldiers to move and be ready to cross the river at any time.

Two days later, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun received Shi Yuan's order.

The crossing of the river began.

On this day, Guo Huai was a little restless after breakfast, feeling that something would happen today. Therefore, Guo Huai specially ordered the soldiers to patrol more near Hanshui to prevent the Shu army. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a guard to come to Guo Huai, saying that the Shu army on the other side of the river had set up a lot of rafts and collected a lot of ferries, and it seemed that they were going to cross the river.

After Guo Huai heard this, he hurriedly led his troops to the north bank of the Han River. Sure enough, it was the same as the guard had just said.

"Quick, order the whole army to quickly reach the bank of the Hanshui River to resist the enemy army." Guo Huai shouted loudly to the deputy general next to him.

In less than an hour, more than 10,000 soldiers led by Guo Huai came to the north bank of the Han River. At this time, the Han River and the Shu army on the south bank were also prepared.

With the order of General Zhang Fei, thousands of Shu soldiers began to cross the river. There were makeshift rafts, ferries requisitioned from nearby people's homes, and hundreds of ferries sailed to the other side of the river.
