Chapter Ninety-Six: Wancheng succeeded, and Mancheng escaped

Zhang Xian commanded more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but none of them were available. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Seeing Liu Bei's army coming to kill, he had no choice but to send his soldiers to rush forward to kill in order to ensure his safety.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong. He met one of the killing gods of this era, how could he escape it? That Xu Chu rushed into the Yellow Turban Formation, brandishing a big knife and slashing left and right. The Yellow Turban soldier is dying, dying, where can stop the sound of his advancing horses' hooves? What's more, there are four people around him, Zhou Cang, Dong Dao, Jin Dun, and Tie Armor rushing to kill together?

There was no time for half a pillar of incense in the confrontation, and Xu Chu rushed to Zhang Xian's approach.

In fact, Zhang Xian had already seen Xu Chu and others rushing towards him. If he had put it aside in the past, he would have rushed towards Xu Chu a long time ago. But today is different, there is no second commander here besides him. When the commander came out, the military advisor who had only been obtained two days before warned himself that he must wait until the enemy general rushed to the front before fighting him, and he could wait for his work.

However, would Xu Chu care about such a thing? Of course not, I saw that he slashed several Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him with a few slashes, and then rushed to Zhang Xian's horse, and the wheel knife slashed.

Several guards around Zhang Xian wanted to rush over to intercept Xu Chu. Zhou Cang and several people came over and stopped one after another.

Xu Chu's big knife fell. Zhang Xian had no choice but to greet him with a gun.

Where is he Xu Chu's opponent? Just this knife shattered his tiger's mouth. He felt the numbness of the tiger's mouth, and when he looked down, the tiger's mouth exploded, and the blood flowed.

However, Xu Chuke didn't give him time to feel, after a knife, the two horses staggered, and as soon as he turned around, the big knife was swung out, and Zhang Xian's head was directly taken off.

After Zhou Cang killed the two guards, he lifted the horse and reached out to catch Zhang Xian's head as he flew over. Holding the head, he called out: "Ahh The head of the thief has been executed, and you still don't surrender? Surrender and avoid death. ”

If Zhang Xian hadn't supervised the battle in the back, these Yellow Turban soldiers would have scattered and fled; It was Zhang Xian who supervised the battle in the back, and many soldiers on the edge took advantage of the chaos to escape. At this time, as soon as I heard about it, Zhang Xian died in battle. This master is gone, who is still desperate!

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were fighting threw down their weapons one after another, knelt down and surrendered.

Let's talk about Xu Rong and others in the back. Liu Bei and others killed bloody, stumps and broken arms in the front, which was unbearable. They didn't even fight here, and the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers actually followed the leader to surrender.

What's going on? As mentioned in the previous document, there are two generals left under Zhang Mancheng, one is Zhang Xian, and the other is called Sun Yong. Who is this Sun Yong? He is the elder brother of Sun Zhong and Sun Xia.

This Liu Bei sent troops to suppress the rear formation, and the blind cat sent Sun Zhong and Sun Xia over like a dead mouse.

The two brothers came to the back and met with Sun Yongyi. This Sun Yong was happy. He thought that Zhang Mancheng's statement that his two younger brothers died on the battlefield was true. Even this expedition took off the yellow scarf on his head and replaced it with white silk, and he wanted to wear filial piety to his younger brother! In those days, brotherhood was very deep! Where is it like now, when the elbows are turned outward, and the brothers turn against each other?

Sun Yong saw that his two younger brothers were still alive. Turning over and dismounting, he ran towards Xu Rong. The Yellow Turban soldiers in the back were dumbfounded, and they stood there without daring to move.

Xu Rong and Chen Gun don't recognize it! Just as he was about to pick up the horse, Sun Zhong and Sun Xia also dismounted at this time and ran towards the front of the two armies.

It's still a battlefield somewhere! It has become a blind date and a scene of recognizing relatives.

Xu Rong and Chen Gun held their feet down. Zhao Hong looked at Xu Rong and the others, and muttered in his heart: You don't know that this is a battlefield! Just surrendered to Cheng here, people are not thin with your brothers! But don't be fooled by your big brother to go back! Well, I'll go over and ask, if Sun Yongyong takes the two of them back, I'll kill you three brothers."

Zhao Hong didn't greet Xu Rong and the others, and patted his horse and came to the front of the two armies.

"I said Brother Sun, don't be like this on this battlefield!" Zhao Honglai's three people said closely.

Sun Yong looked up, Zhao Hong? Recognize. asked, "Brother Yuandao, you also joined the imperial court's army?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Hong said.

"Big brother, if it weren't for Brother Yuandao, what would I do if I was still a prisoner in the Pingnan Army?" Sun Zhong said, "That day, when Zhang Mancheng saw General Xu Chu's reinforcements arriving, he didn't care about us at all, and he fled on his own. Big brother, what do you want to protect such a person? ”

"No wonder he came back and said that you two had died on the battlefield?! Grandma's. Sun Yong scolded, looked at Zhao Hong and asked, "I don't know, I, Sun Yong, have more than 10,000 people surrender to Cheng, but what official position do I have?" ”

"After I surrendered, I haven't seen General Pingnan yet. However, according to what his younger brother Xuande Gong and his righteous brother General Zhongkang said, our official positions will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, even if Zhang Mancheng escapes this time without credit, he can also be mixed with a six-grade protector or something. ”

"That's an official position of the imperial court! Besides, my two younger brothers have already surrendered, so naturally our brothers will not be separated. With that, Sun Yong rushed back to his camp.

As soon as the Yellow Turban soldiers heard that the main general had surrendered, the front of the team said that it was okay, but some people at the back of the team threw their weapons and began to flee.

Sun Yong wanted to chase and kill, but was stopped by Xu Rong and others who rushed over.

Xu Rong raised the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Yellow Turban Army, don't be afraid. Our Nanping Army has always pursued the principle of preferential treatment of prisoners. If you don't want to join the army, when the battle is over for a while, you will be given a coil and let you wait to return home. The premise is to hand over the weapon in your hand. We will not accept anyone over the age of thirty who wants to participate, because your physical strength is starting to decline, and there is a greater danger of going to war. As long as your brother between the ages of twenty and thirty wants to stay in the Pingnan Army, we are welcome. ”

After a few words, no one ran away. Even those who fled returned.

At the end of this battle, Liu Bei and others met with Sun Yong. In order to congratulate the reunion of the three brothers, Liu Bei ordered to immediately build a pot and prepare lunch to celebrate the three of them.

The two of them went to clean up the battlefield. In a short time, they sent war reports up.

Seven hundred and seventy soldiers were killed in this battle, 14,789 enemy soldiers were captured, 6,192 new troops were recruited, and the remaining prisoners were all left in Yangquan Town, leaving them 100,000 stone of grain.

During the banquet, Tian Feng asked Sun Yong: "Is there still a general under Zhang Mancheng?" ”

"It's gone! Now he was the only one left in the city. By the way, there is also a strategist named Yan Zhong. Sun Yong pursed his lips and said, "This young man was met by Zhang Mancheng on the street a few days ago. He was the one who came up with the idea that we set up an ambush here. ”

"Yan Zhong? But Huang Fu Song's former subordinate Yan Zhong? Tian Feng asked.

"I don't know about that. It's just that this person hasn't been here for long! Sun Yong said.

"With this person in Wancheng, presumably Zhang Mancheng should have fled by now." Tian Feng looked at Liu Bei and Xu Chu and said.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, what should I do next?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's not in a hurry to pursue now, there is General Jun Yi there to block it." Tian Feng said while drinking wine.

"Then let's hurry up and eat." Liu Bei said.

At this time, the three brothers Sun Yong, Liu Bi, and Zhao Hong stood up one after another to ask for orders. Seeing this, Zhou Cang, Xu Rong and others also asked for orders to fight.

Seeing this, Xu Chu said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, it is better for Chu to take the three brothers of the Sun family and the five people of Taichu and Yuandao to lead 5,000 men and horses to pursue. The elder brother took Tie Sheng, Man Tun and others to settle in Wancheng. What do you think? ”

Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Xu Chu drank all the wine in the cup, got up and took Sun Yong, Sun Zhong, Sun Xia, Liu Pi, and Zhao Hong to lead the five battalions of the Volunteers, including the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th, to pursue.

Let's say that Zhang Jaw and others have been stationed in this small town called Beishan for three days. On this day, Tanmalai reported that there was a team of thousands of people in Wancheng heading here.

This team is the escape journey led by Zhang Mancheng and Yan Zhong. As early as the moment when Xu Chu killed Zhang Xian, Zhang Mancheng's Tanma no longer listened to any news, and returned directly to Wancheng to report to Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Mancheng didn't hesitate at all, and directly led the team out of the city and fled in the direction of Hanzhong.

They had barely run a hundred miles when they saw a cavalry of three or four thousand men blocking the middle of the road. Zhang Mancheng saw that the road was blocked. It's impossible to go back! Rushing, that is, no matter how much loss is lost, they must rush over. Otherwise, you're going to die here.

Without even hesitating, he directly ordered his guards to lead the team to charge.

Who knows, his team of thousands of people is still thirty or fifty zhang away from the enemy. A rain of arrows shot out of the opponent's formation. The charging team fell suddenly. After four consecutive moves, more than half of the team that rushed out was killed or wounded.

At this time, Zhang Mancheng had the heart to die, and he was just about to run back in this gap. In the bushes on both sides of the road, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and thousands of horsemen came out with their spears brandished.

Zhang Mancheng fled towards the bushes under the cover of several guards.

It's a pity that Yan Zhong was picked up by the cavalry who rushed up and shot him under the horse.

In this battle, the Yellow Turban soldiers scattered and fled, and because of the cover of the bush and jungle, they escaped from the battlefield countless times. The open-jawed cavalry was also not good at fighting in the jungle, but they also cheapened these Yellow Turban soldiers.

This battle completely demonstrated the combat characteristics of the light cavalry battalion and the cavalry archers, and the quick massacre and shooting before the assault dealt a heavy blow to the Yellow Turban soldiers, and even more so to the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

After the war, the losses were counted, and it turned out that the soldiers were not even injured.

There were also very few captured soldiers. Thousands of enemy troops, the cavalry archer battalion shot and killed more than 3,000 enemy soldiers, beheaded more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, and captured 312 people; The light cavalry battalion killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers and captured 378 prisoners. However, a lot of enemy supplies were captured.

When Xu Chu arrived at the battlefield with everyone, Zhang Jaw and others were rushing to Wancheng with a team of more than 600 prisoners and captured materials.

Because Zhang Mancheng was not captured, Zhang Chu's face of loss made Xu Chu look a little unbearable.

"Sixth brother, isn't it just Zhang Mancheng? What if he is left alive for the time being? Xu Chu comforted him and said, "Big brother often says that you and my brother are both husbands. The eldest husband should be able to afford to put it down. ”

"Third brother, I just think it's a pity." Zhang Jaw shook his head and said helplessly.

"Okay, Zhang Mancheng's team has been defeated, our army is waiting for the eldest brother and them here in Wancheng this time!" Xu Chu said.

Where can Zhang Mancheng escape to? Will the imperial court agree to Liu Qian's expedition to the west? How does the following plot develop? Please continue to watch.

The next volume will begin soon. Wait until Liu Qian's new appointment comes down......
