Chapter 382: The Price and Harvest of Indulgence
After Zhang Xiang entered Yizhou, he found that the battle of the mountains was not so easy, Zhang Xiang had also experienced the battle of the mountains, after all, Taihang Mountain is also a very majestic mountain range, but although Taihang Mountain is majestic but not dangerous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the mountains are safe, but Yizhou is completely different, Yizhou is mountainous but there are no mountains, but each mountain is not so easy to climb, it is really a miracle of nature.
The danger of the sword screen is the best in the land of Yizhou, although it is already very beneficial to Zhang Xiang's side, but the elite under Zhang Xiang will inevitably have casualties, and the northern soldiers are used to fighting in the plains.
Naturally not suitable for the battle in the mountains, this attack on Liu Bei, Zhang Xiang brought with him more than three years of veterans, a little worse were left by Zhang Xiang to guard Hanzhong, they are not those miscellaneous soldiers in Hanzhong.
Zhang Xiang also has a bias in his heart, so he naturally takes special care of these old soldiers under his command, wearing two layers of armor is nothing at all, of course, not everyone wears two layers of armor, only the attacking soldiers have such treatment.
Mountain Battle Rolling Stone is the most commonly used method, which can be said to be inexhaustible, and the biggest effect of Rolling Stone is to smash others, of course, some unlucky people are stoned to death.
Therefore, Zhang Xiang let the attacking soldiers wear two layers of armor, so as to minimize casualties, Liu Bei changed the general and transferred Zhang Ren to the front, Zhang Xiang was aware of it, after all, Liu Bei's soldiers and Xichuan's soldiers are different.
Liu Bei's subordinates are more courageous, but Xichuan's soldiers are inferior, but Xichuan's soldiers have been running in the mountains since they were children, and they do have merit in terms of flexibility, if it weren't for this.
The defense line that Zhang Xiang's army had already broken through, Zhang Ren would appear at a critical time, and Zhang Ren's bravery also caught Zhang Xiang's eyes, worthy of being Tong Yuan's apprentice Zhao Yun's senior brother, not a straw bale.
Zhang Xiang's understanding of Zhang Ren is also relatively one-sided, after all, Zhang Ren is also inconspicuous, because of Zhao Yun's relationship, Zhang Xiang naturally attributed Zhang Ren to Liu Bei's side, so he was not soft.
Zhang Ren can be said to be an outlier, as a disciple of the spear prodigy Yuan, but it is a knife, Zhang Ren is indeed the most powerful among the brothers, the knife is the hegemony of a hundred soldiers, suitable for powerful people to use.
Maybe this is also the reason why Zhang Ren abandoned the gun and used the knife, everything has advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Ren is understandable to use his own suitable weapons, but the trick of making a knife lies in a potential word.
The speed of the process of accumulating momentum is naturally not so fast, so the generals who use knives on the battlefield rarely pay attention to a fast word, Zhang Xiang asked Lu Split to shoot Zhang Ren, Lu Split is the first archer under Zhang Xiang.
Even Zhang Fei is slightly inferior, and Lu Pi's Lu family has also been hidden, so Lu Pi is also more familiar with the situation in the mountains, and there is nothing unsuitable for him, but he is like a fish in water.
In such an environment, Zhang Ren often appeared at the forefront in order to stabilize the defensive line, and in order to boost morale, he naturally put himself in danger.
Lu Split's best thing is to release cold arrows, this is actually to blame Zhang Xiang, under Zhang Xiang's subtle influence, Lu Split has become what he is now, he used to be very upright and bright.
The armor on Lu Split's body is actually inconspicuous, after all, it is too eye-catching to let go of cold arrows, so it becomes a bright arrow, Lu Split shot an arrow towards Zhang Ren, and Lu Split used a strong bow.
There are few people in Zhang Xiang's army who can pull away, and the sound of arrows cutting through the air is very loud, even ordinary soldiers can hear it, Zhang Ren is naturally no exception, Zhang Ren subconsciously blocked the arrows with a knife.
But Lu Chop's arrow was too fast, Zhang Ren's knife blocked the shaft of the arrow, but the arrow scratched his right eye, the eye is the most vulnerable part of a person, even a person like Zhang Ren will cry out in pain.
Zhang Ren's shout naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers, Zhang Ren was injured and couldn't fight with all his strength, after all, there were not so many Xiahoudun in this world, Zhang Ren was forced to give up the defense line, just when Zhang Xiang wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
was driven back by the rain of arrows again, and it was Huang Zhong who blocked the gap in the sword screen, a veteran of Liu Bei's new collection, Huang Zhong shot an arrow at Lu Split and wanted to return the color, but was dodged by Lu Split, both of them are masters of using arrows.
Naturally, he had to have a try, and Lu Pi had to admit that Huang Zhong was a head above him in terms of strength and technique, and in the end, Lu Pi was shot in the left shoulder by Huang Zhong and retreated.
"The old general is mighty." Zhang Ren did not leave, but came to Huang Zhong's side, just in time to see this archery duel.
Huang Zhong: "General Zhang Ren, leave it to me here!" You go down first to recuperate! "The injury on Zhang Ren's eye is still extremely hideous.
Zhang Ren: "Old general, why didn't you shoot the enemy general just now, there was a chance just now." ”
Huang Zhong: "The bow in my hand is very hard, and it can fire up to nine arrows in a row, I shot ten times against the enemy general just now, and the tenth shot is already good, that person is a master." ”
Huang Zhong has already explained, this is what Huang Zhong has gone through through vicissitudes, in other words, others will definitely not give Zhang Ren a good face, Zhang Ren retreated to the rear to heal his injuries, and after a while, he heard that Liu Bei rebelled.
Originally, Zhang Ren wanted to resist, but there was no chance, he found that he was surrounded by Liu Bei's people, he thought it was Liu Bei's concern, and now he found out that it was for surveillance.
The news of Liu Bei's rebellion spread in the army, and many people were affected by Chiyu, because Zhang Ren was injured and placed under house arrest, it was already good, and many of Liu Zhang's old generals were killed by Liu Bei, and the attack could be described as fast and accurate.
didn't give people a chance to resist, Liu Bei gathered Xichuan's soldiers, and these soldiers also dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only bow their heads, but it didn't mean that they would be loyal to Liu Bei.
The defense line of the sword screen immediately became unstable, even if there was a fierce general like Huang Zhong, it would be useless, Zhang Xiang was not short of people, as long as Huang Zhong did not shoot his generals, Zhang Xiang would not be distressed.
The sword screen can be said to be laid down by Zhang Xiang with human life, of course, most of them are Dongchuan's soldiers, and most of Dongchuan's soldiers believe in the Wudoumi Sect, which is a hidden danger sooner or later, why not weaken it first.
Liu Bei retreated all the way to Mianzhu this time, and by the way, he also gathered the local people, and publicized Zhang Xiang's evil deeds everywhere, and many Dongchuan people were bewitched by Liu Bei to go to Xichuan, and Xichuan and Dongchuan are both Yizhou.
Therefore, the local people did not resist, even if the people left behind did not have a very good impression of Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang was also busy collecting Dongchuan, and he had no time to care about public opinion, so he left a trace of hidden dangers.
Zhang Xiang's army confronted each other in Mianzhu, and Liu Bei used the terrain to completely gather his strength and make a comeback, so that Zhang Xiang had nowhere to go but to attack each other, Zhang Xiang only hoped that Cao Cao's side would make progress.
As long as there is an accident in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's side will inevitably be affected, but unfortunately it backfired, Zhang Xiang is located in Yizhou, so the news is not very well-informed, and he does not know that Cao Cao suffered a big loss in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao's invasion of Jingzhou was also a good progress at the beginning, but he met Zhuge Liang who was rescued later, Zhuge Liang seemed to be ploughing in Nanyang to escape the world, but in fact he had the world in mind, otherwise there would be no Longzhong right.
How could this escapist know so much about the situation in the world, Zhuge Liang would not choose Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao, so the more he knows about the two, and the person who understands himself will always be an opponent.
Zhuge Liang regarded Cao Cao Zhang Xiang as his opponent in the future, so he naturally paid more attention, he knew that Cao Cao had always been a suspicious person, so he took advantage of Cao Cao's suspicion and deliberately played a lot of banners in the army.
Ordinary people will think that the Jingzhou army has a large number, but Cao Cao will think that this is a bluff, Cao Cao has been on the battlefield for many years, and naturally feels that the number of reinforcements from Zhuge Liang does not match the banner.
Zhuge Liang retreated to Bowangpo, Cao Cao ordered the pursuit, Bowangpo is also a dangerous place, the branches and forests are not suitable for the action of the army, the more dangerous the place, the more Cao Cao feels that Zhuge Liang is trying to cover up.
Regardless of the opposition of the generals, he insisted on pursuing Zhuge Liang, and it was the time of summer and autumn communication, and the scorching heat in the south was unbearable and the grass and trees were yellow, which could be said to be a little bit, not to mention the place of Bowangpo.
The fire rose from everywhere, and the Cao army was in chaos, fortunately, there were many people, even if Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, it did not let the Cao army rout, but the losses were so heavy that it was true, and this time Cao Cao still commanded it personally.
The impact on the morale of the army can be imagined, Cao Cao then remembered what Zhang Xiang said to him, it seems that Zhuge Liang is really not easy to mess with, and there are not many people in this world who can make themselves suffer.
Cao Cao has led the troops for many years, so he naturally understands that a temporary victory is nothing, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and did not rush to retaliate, but chose to retreat to rest, Cao Cao began to pay attention to Zhuge Liang.
Burning Bowang was only the first link in Zhuge Liang's plan, he didn't expect Cao Cao to retreat, so that his second and third rings were completely prepared in vain, Zhuge Liang also felt that Cao Cao was a terrible opponent.
However, on the way to Cao Cao's retreat, Guan Yu led his troops to attack and harass, and went straight to Cao Cao, Guan Yu did have the ability to behead the general among the ten thousand troops, and his distance was already very close to Cao Cao.
In the end, he was blocked by Cao Cao's personal general, Huhou Xu Chu, seeing that the situation was not right, Guan Yu immediately retreated, and also killed Cao Jun's junior general Cao Pai, Cao Pai is the son of Cao Hong, and he is also Cao Cao's nephew.
Cao Hong was furious and privately led troops to attack Guan Yu, and sent the Cao army to the door, Guan Yu Zhuge Liang would not let it go, if Cao Cao hadn't discovered it in time, he sent troops to support Cao Hong and also collapsed.
However, Cao Hong was also seriously injured, was seriously injured by Guan Yu, the wound penetrated his waist and abdomen, and he could not recover in a few months, Cao Hong was a veteran general in the Cao army, and his prestige in the army was also very high.
The morale of the Cao army fell into a slump completely, Cao Cao could only use indulgence to restore the morale of the army, the shackles on Cao Jun's body were removed, revealing bloody fangs, and the people of Jingzhou suffered, which can be described as a human tragedy, but the morale of the Cao army has finally recovered, this is not the first time Cao Cao has given this kind of order, but it is effective every time.
