Chapter 35: The Final Battle (1)

Xu Hui slowly approached with a few scouts, they observed for a moment, and just wanted to rush up and deal with the sentries first, when suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and all around were Ningjiang troops with torches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Hui was shocked and wanted his brothers to fight, but a sound came from the enemy army.

"Dare to ask if it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? The last general of Wushan will be Wang Zhen. As the guard of Wushan Pass, Wang Zhen is not an ordinary unknown, he can serve as a guard at a young age, it can be seen that he has a strategy, this is Wushan Pass, which is the place where he Wang Zhen is most familiar, so when Xu Hui and others were still resting in the mountains and forests, Wang Zhen's scouts had already discovered them.

When Xu Hui heard this, he scolded: "Wang Zhen, as a citizen of Shu State, it is a big crime not to be able to worry about the king, but today he echoed Sun Yu's rebellion, it is really a crime that deserves death, since you have found out about us, then just let the horse come over and see if Ben will frown." ”

Wang Zhen heard this, turned over and dismounted, and then slowly walked out of the crowd, came to Xu Hui, holding his own saber in both hands, knelt down and said: "The last general knows the capital crime, dare not argue, the last general is a citizen of Shu, determined to be loyal to the monarch for the country, how can Sun Yu rebel, lead Zhou Xingfeng into the customs, although the last general has the heart of repaying the country with death, how can the Wushan Pass be related to the safety of the people of several states of my Shu country, so he secretly lived here, today Wen General came, overjoyed, today will be Wushan defenders more than 1,000 people under the command of the general, the crime of the last general, let the general deal with. After speaking, Wang Zhen lowered his head.

Xu Hui never thought that Wang Zhen would say this, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood his painstaking efforts, if he handed over Wushan Pass to Zhou Xingfeng's Wuping army, then Kuizhou, Wanzhou and other places in Shu would be exposed to Zhou Xingfeng's iron cavalry.

He walked over, took Wang Zhen's sword, then helped him up, and said: "General Wang's words, the general is convinced, but the general's crime will not be dealt with, and the general will return to the metropolitan governor, and the metropolitan governor will send it down." ”

After that, Xu Hui returned his sword to him and continued: "But the top priority is to hold Wushan Pass, not to let Zhou Xingfeng go by, you are the Wushan Pass guard, you are the most familiar here, you are still the Wushan Pass guard, we will defend the city together, as for your crime, wait for the war after hearing about the majority of the governors." ”

When Wang Zhen heard this, he said loudly: "The last general is willing to live and die with Wushan Pass." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The defection of Wushan Pass completely blocked the back roads of Zhou Xingfeng and Yang Shifan's two armies, and most importantly, Zhou Xingfeng's desire to rely on Wushan Pass to mobilize grain and grass from Jingxiang was frustrated.

Xu Hui and others occupied Wushan Pass, Meng Xuanjue didn't know, this was completely unexpected by him, he just asked Xu Hui to burn the grain and grass and force Zhou Xingfeng to withdraw his troops quickly.

The grain and grass were burned and gave Zhou Xingfeng a slap in the face, and the defection of Wushan Pass made Zhou Xingfeng feel desperate and made Zhou Xingfeng, who was preparing to retreat overnight, fall into endless regret.

After Meng Xuanjue got the news, he wanted to jump up excitedly, Wushan Pass's defection would greatly shake Zhou Xingfeng's military heart, originally Meng Xuanjue thought that he was going to go through a vicious battle, but at this moment there was no need to worry, at most one day, the tens of thousands of Wuping troops opposite him had to withdraw to the east, and the fighters would also arrive.

"Order Gao Yanshou and Zhao Li to send troops immediately, and all the armies are ready to fight at any time!"

With Meng Xuanjue's order, the 5,000 cavalry of the former army led by Gao Yanshou took the lead in rushing out and agreeing, bypassing the enemy camp from the north, and rushing towards Wushan Pass, because Meng Xuanjue knew that in order to return to Jingxiang, Zhou Xingfeng would desperately storm Wushan Pass, if Wushan Pass was lost, it would be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

The remaining 50,000 Shu troops were ready to go to war at any time.

Wang Zhen is only 25 years old this year, a native of Kuizhou, good at martial arts since childhood, familiar with military books, and performed well after joining the army, and is already a Wushan guard general at the age of less than 25.

Because he was very familiar with this place, Xu Hui still asked him to command, it was already early in the morning, although the fog had obscured his vision, but he had faintly heard the sound of the horn, and the team gathered outside the pass.

Xu Hui was a little worried, not knowing if he and the others would be able to hold it, so he asked, "General Wang, how much grain and grass are there in the pass?" ”

"Commander Hui Xu, because this is an important pass of Shu Kingdom, there are sufficient equipment here, there are 2,000 spears, 2,000 shields, 3,000 long knives, 1,000 pairs of bows and arrows, and more than 50,000 arrows."

Wang Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "It's just that there is not a lot of grain and grass, and a lot of grain and grass has been transported to the front line, plus the two thousand men and horses brought by the adults, I am afraid that it can only support for two days." ”

After Wang Zhen finished speaking, both of them frowned, and a soldier rushed over and saluted: "Report to the general, Zhou Xingfeng has 20,000 forwards in an instant, and he has already assembled at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Got it, go down, General Wang, hurry up and rest, after Zhou Xingfeng attacks, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest."

Zhou Xingfeng's mood was extremely bad, this time the situation was completely beyond his expectations, he originally thought that the best result would be to destroy Shu, and the worst result would be to let Shu cut the land and pay compensation or something, but now he has been completely surrounded, there is not enough food and grass, and the back road has also been cut off.

"Before noon, we must seize Wushan Pass, if we can't take it, we will behead the commander of the camp." Zhou Xingfeng gave the final order.

There were two battalions of the front army totaling more than 20,000 people, and under the leadership of the battalion commander, 20,000 soldiers rushed to the pass, the sound of war drums resounded, and thousands of Wuping army pioneers were killed in front of the pass.

"Attack, two thousand men first." The commander of the enemy's battalion said fiercely, what is the pass, that is, it is built between the mountains and mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, because the place is narrow, the opponent has no more numbers, and it cannot be placed.

An army of 2,000 men with shields in hand swarmed toward the tower.

At the head of the city, Xu Hui and Wang Zhen were staring at the enemy tightly, when the enemy raised his shield and slowly approached the city tower, the enemy army had already entered within fifty steps, Wang Zhen gave an order, "Release the arrow." ”

Hundreds of archers fired at the same time, the bows and arrows made a whizzing sound and broke through the air, shooting into the crowd of enemy soldiers, some arrows were blocked by shields, some were not blocked, some shields were shot through, and pieces of screams rang out, and after a round down, hundreds of enemy soldiers were shot to the ground, and the screams echoed in the mountains and forests.

But since the war had begun, there was no reason to retreat, and the battalion commander knew that if he could not attack it, he would also be punished on the spot by the commander, so he personally went into battle.

So an enemy general in iron armor and silver armor appeared in Guankou Qian, burly and holding a mace, "Kill." ”

With a roar, he rushed towards the city with more than 3,000 men.

Xu Hui and Wang Zhen both knew that the enemy was going to fight hard, Wang Zhen hugged his fist to Xu Hui and said: "My lord, I will go and cut off his head, and there is an old mother and wife and children in the last general's family, if I die in battle, please ask your Excellency to intercede." ”

Xu Hui didn't dare to look into his eyes, because he knew that if he went, he might not be able to come back, but the enemy general must die, "Okay, Ben will promise you." ”
