399 The 60,000 army perished

readx;

Dingjun Mountain, foggy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThis inconspicuous, unknown hill made famous for Zhang Lu's crusade against Lü Bu. It is also the last checkpoint for Lu Bubing to go out of the Slope Valley Road.

A newly erected checkpoint at the bottom of the mountain stopped the army's tracks. When a Lu Bujun came out, his eyes were attracted. When more and more soldiers appeared in the eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate, the soldiers on the checkpoint boiled.

The soldiers guarding the pass quickly sent the battle situation to Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu was in a hurry, and summoned tens of thousands of sectarians to support Dingjun Mountain overnight.

"How do you fight like that?" Zhang Xiu was speechless. The checkpoint of Dingjun Mountain is based in the center of the fan-shaped area at the exit of the canyon, but the small river in the upper reaches of the Han River is a protective river, which is stronger than the wall of an ordinary small city, and the Lü Bujun did not carry siege equipment, not even a few thunderbolt vehicles. The Slope Valley Road does not support the transportation of large siege equipment at all.

"Lay the earth as a mound, and shoot condescendingly." Frustrated suggested.

"That's all there is to it. General Zhang Xiu went to fight first and then frustrated the enemy's spirit. "Regardless of whether it can be attacked or not, Lu Bu will send Zhang Xiu to fight first, and Dingjun Mountain can not be attacked, but it must be fierce. In this way, all Zhang Lu's forces can be attracted and Wei Yan in the Meridian Valley can create an opportunity to attack Hanzhong.

"Oh, yes. Now it should be a tough battle, Mr. Wenhe might as well go to Feng Yi to replace Liu Ye, and let Liu Ye bring Ma Jun to the front line to produce thunderbolts, how about it? Lu Bu asked Jia Xu. For the time being, the enemy does not have a first-class military division to make a dark move, and it is not a matter for Lu Bu to take all the generals and divisions with him.

"It's fine." Jia Xu touched his beard and said, "I'll go to Feng Yi to hold on, but the Cao army will suddenly attack." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Jia Xu has followed him for many years, and he doesn't seem to want to run away, but now, he just thinks about opportunism, and Lu Bu can rest assured that he can reuse it.

Next, Lu Bu, who was waiting for news from Wei Yan's army, and Zhang Xiu took turns to fight at the foot of the mountain. Lu Bu held himself to dodge high, his blood was high, he was not injured, and rode a peerless shadow to show off his might near the mountain, hitting the morale of the enemy and deceiving the opponent's arrows. And cans of kerosene were also thrown to the foot of the mountain by Lu Bu, threatening to burn the city.

When Lu Bu was showing off his might at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Zhang Wei of the Tunjun Luoyang received Zhang Lu's order to transfer troops back to defense. Zhang Wei hurriedly promoted and wanted to return to help, just at the right time, the veteran Huang Zhong raised 20,000 troops to attack, Zhang Wei lacked skills, and only blocked Huang Zhong outside Luoyang.

And if you want to say where the population is the largest under Lu Bu, it must be Qishan. Zhao Ang was able to deal with Ma Chao for two years because of the thousands of households of the people of Qishan. Compared with the war-torn Guanzhong region, Qishan is rich. The Qishan Mountains are open, and the Longyou Avenue is wide, which is easy for the army to enter and exit. The army that Huang Zhong attracted was dominated by cavalry. Zhang Wei didn't dare to give up Luoyang, so he could only stick to the city.

――――――――――――

Wei Yan's five thousand soldiers ran through the snow. The road that was originally planned for 15 days was walked for 30 days due to the disrepair of the plank road and the two mountain cliffs being covered by ice and snow. The soldiers were tired, hungry and cold, their hands were covered with frostbite, and by the time they arrived at Shiquan, more than half of their personnel had been lost.

The two supported each other, and weakly stepped on the broken ice. Wei Yan saw that his morale had fallen to the bottom, and it was impossible to turn back now. Encouraged: "There is the stone spring ahead, go out of the valley immediately, and eat to the stone spring." ”

Can this exhausted army storm the city? Wei Yan didn't know, he could only take one step at a time.

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and they all raised their last strength. They have walked on the edge of the sword, and victory is in sight, so how can they stop there.

At noon, Wei Yan's remnants finally arrived outside Shiquan City. Wei Yan asked the soldiers to rest behind the mountain, and he personally went to Shiquan to observe. Shiquan is located deep in the mountains and forests, but the city is inhabited by many people, many of whom fled from Chang'an to settle in Hanzhong. But God willing, there are not many soldiers defending the city, and there are only one or two hundred sparse soldiers.

Wei Yan made a rough inquiry in the city, and it turned out that Lu Bu's army attacked Dingjun Mountain and Lüyang, and Liu Zhang sent troops to Hanzhong at the same time. Wei Yan was determined and immediately left the city. When Wei Yan returned to the camp, many of the tired soldiers were asleep. When the troops were ordered, two hundred of them slept for a long time, and they could no longer wake up.

Wei Yan divided the soldiers into two teams, and personally led the front team of fifty people to seize the city gate, as long as the city gate was captured, the rear team came to support in time.

The soldiers defending the city only thought that a group of refugees had come to defect, and when Wei Yan led a group of soldiers who were scurrying and falling, they would not believe that this was a soldier in front of them, and the Meridian Valley would not pass since Wang Mang, who knew that there would be people who did not want to die from here. The soldiers defending the city shouted, "Who is it? Come and check. I suspect you're a bunch of unscrupulous vendors. ”

"Bad for your uncle." The troops were torn and damaged, barely only 2,000 people, Wei Yan was worried about the next siege of the city, and when he heard the words, he raised his sword and fell.

Wei Yan's troops saw blood like a beast, and let out a heaven-shattering battle roar, chopping the soldiers defending the city to death in an instant. Simply take a county seat.

When the county order arrived with Qi Jiading's guards, Wei Yan's army all entered the city and set up a position on the street.

The county commander's face changed several times, and after weighing the army that suddenly appeared, and after calculating that it was not an opponent, he simply took off his coat and hat: "Xiaguan Shiquan ordered Liu Chen, I heard that the general was visiting, so I came to greet him, and the general is invited." ”

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand, Wei Yan just asked the other party to unload the weapons and equipment, and then let the hot food be served.

After eating and drinking, Wei Yan went to the banquet of the county order, he was too hungry.

"Rabbit cubs, don't doze off the labor, now that you are full, everyone runs and patrols the laborers in the streets, this is in the enemy's territory, if you don't want to die, cheer up the laborers." Wei Yan shouted angrily, he was afraid that when he came back from the banquet, these soldiers would be asleep forever, and he was afraid.

Wei Yan thought that Liu Chen knew him, but at the banquet, he learned that Liu Chen didn't know who Wei Yan was, and the two of them were confused. This made Wei Yan even more wary of Liu Chen.

After only resting in Shiquan for one day, Wei Yan summoned the young men of Shicheng, carried grain and grass on their backs, and continued to embark on the journey.

On Dingjun Mountain, day after day, the number of thieves increased dramatically, all over the mountains, and there were countless banners, and it was impossible to tell how many thieves there were. Zhang Lu governs the people with teaching, and he really wins the hearts of the people, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, there will be 100,000 followers.

The two sides held each other for ten days, and no one could help anyone, but the thieves gathered together, and Lu Bujun couldn't even touch the bottom of the mountain. In the distance, a light horse galloped from the trail.

"Huang Hansheng, the general of Zhengxi, came to report that he had reached Luoyang, and Zhang Wei of Hanzhong was guarding the city, and the old general was not allowed to advance an inch."

"Huang Zhong dragged Zhang Wei to Luoyang? Good. Lu Bu immediately returned to the camp to raise the tent: "I want to go out of the trail and take Yangping Pass, do you think so?" ”

Lü Bu rested the marching plan again, Zhang Lu's vital forces were all dragged by him to Dingjun Mountain, and the agreed time with Wei Yan had passed seven or eight days, Wei Yan had run out of grain and grass, Lü Bu did not know the whereabouts of Wei Yan's army, and he could not bet all his hopes on Wei Yan.

"The general's plan is unfathomable." Frustrated and said: "As long as Yangping Pass is captured, the retreat of Zhang Wei of Luoyang and the tens of thousands of Yang Ren and Yang Ang of Chen Cangdao will be blocked. ”

Not to mention, there is a person who pats the sycophants, especially the first-class military advisors, who is called a comfortable one, no wonder he was slapped lightly by the sycophants of Chen Deng's father and son before and couldn't find the north.

Chen Cangdao.

Yang Ren lied about the military situation and confronted Gao Shun for several days, making slow progress. Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to Yang Ang's army.

Yang Ang went out of the Lianyun plank road, the sergeant did not fight for a long time, and he was tired from climbing over the mountain for several days, and he was unwilling to continue to advance, so he went down to the village in Feng County, Zhankou. It was night, and the soldiers rested. There was Yang Ren in front of the enemy, and Zhang Wei in the back and back, and the soldiers thought that they were the safest in the middle, and they all went to bed comfortably.

I didn't know that behind them, there was a young general named Lu Meng who had been following for many days, but he hadn't found the time to start.

This night, Yang Ang's camp snored like thunder. Suddenly there was a fire behind the wall. Lü Meng led the army out of the robbery village, and the shouting of killing woke up Yang Ang's army, who could not find a weapon. In a hurry, Yang Ang was unable to command the army to effectively meet the enemy, and the enemy troops poured in from all sides, and he was defeated. Yang Ang abandoned the camp and fled to the former army Yang Ren, and Lü Meng led the army to cover up and kill from behind.

The next day, Lü Meng chased to Yang Ren's camp, and when he saw that the enemy army was dense, he did not dare to move lightly, but proudly hung the enemy's first assigned soldiers on his waist to show off.

Yang Ang was defeated, and when the 30,000 army arrived safely at Yang Ren's camp, it was less than 8,000. The two brothers were furious. The retreat was blocked by Lü Meng, and the armies were afraid. Yang Ren was anxious to open up the back road, and the rear team became the front team and attacked Lu Meng.

Lu Meng abandoned the village and left, and fought and retreated, suddenly the fire behind him broke out, Yang Ren turned around and looked, his face was like ashes. It turned out that Gao Shun took the opportunity to attack Yang Ren's camp and destroyed it with a fire.

"I'll wait for the retreat to be blocked, rush!" Yang Ren saw that the soldiers looked incredulous, helpless, and brandished a long knife to chase and kill Lu Meng.

Yang Ren was about to catch up with Lu Meng's army, and his expression was greatly lifted. Suddenly, the arrows of the two mountains rained down, the rolling stones were densely churned, and the soldiers of the two mountains then rushed down to kill, Gao Shun covered the killing, and Yang Renjun was defeated. The two brothers clashed left and right in the formation but did not come out.

Yang Ang, who was at the forefront, fought to the death, killed a road, and ran to Luoyang. Yang Ren clasped in the chaotic army, and was chased by the camp again, and Yang Ren fought hard. Seeing that Yang Ren was about to escape, Lu Meng stepped forward to intercept him, and the two fought together, and there was no winner or loser.

And Yang Ren was dragged by Lu Meng, and Gao Shun's elite infantry penetrated the heavy formation and killed Yang Ren. Yang Ren was anxious, the more panicked he became, and he made frequent mistakes in his impatience, and was killed by Lu Meng, who seized the opportunity.

The sergeants were blocked in the middle and could not advance or retreat, and when the Lord was beheaded, countless people were surrendered.

Yang Ang fought his way out of the encirclement and counted the defeated soldiers, which was worth four or five thousand people, and he almost wanted to draw his sword and kill himself. The 60,000-strong army was completely lost, and it was probably a dead end to go back. Under the persuasion of the sergeant, Yang Ang rushed back to Luoyang to see Zhang Wei.

Of course, the sergeants can't let Yang Ang die, otherwise who will bear the responsibility for the defeat?
