However, it was said that Xu Shu led 3,000 Jiangling spearmen and 5,000 Hanzhong soldiers to swagger through Xintong City, and he had not seen Zhang Ren attack out of the city for a long time, so he had to continue to march in the direction of Fushui Pass. In the blink of an eye, the fertile fields and grasslands on both sides of the road turned into denser and denser forests, Xu Shu suddenly heard the rumbling footsteps of the march ahead, Xu Shu whispered the order to go down and hide in the depths of the woods.

After the soldiers hid, Xu Shu lay on the ground and listened quietly.

"General Lei, I didn't expect that Zhang Ren, the king of his Shu guns, was also trapped in the city, and he also needs us to rescue!" Wu Lan, the guard of Fushui, said to Lei Tong.

"Eh, General Wu, don't say that. General Zhang Ren guarded Xintong County and resisted Zhang Lu in the north, and his force and command ability were indeed superior to ours. Lei Tong said.

"It's true that he is stronger than us, but I think he is just a horseman. Who knows how he is in command, if he is strong in leading the army, how can he fall into the situation of closing the city after the defeat? "Wu Landao, I have long been unaccustomed to seeing Zhang Ren, a young general, in a high position.

"Well, yes. What is Zhang Ren's ability, wait until we lead the army to Xintong City, and Zhang Ren will attack inside and outside, and break the enemy army. Lei Tong said.

Xu Shu, who was hiding in the forest, listened to Wu Lanleitong's words and learned that they were going to rescue Xin Tong. Thinking that now either Zhao Yun is leading the army to attack the city, and he is suddenly attacked by Wu Lanlei Tong, and he will be defeated; Either Zhao Yun has already captured Xintong now, but the victory just now will inevitably be negligent in defense, and Wu Lanlei will be under the city, and it is very likely that he will seize the city.

Xu Shu couldn't help but look solemn, and a trace of folds appeared on Xu Shu's handsome and pale face, and the heroic aura emanating from his eyebrows spread like a sharp sword in all directions.

"General of the Army, the enemy army is marching without defense, why don't we lead the army to make a spurt first?" A military general beside him said to Xu Shu that it was the Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan who had surrendered.

"Well, okay, then there's General Laukin." Xu Shu listened to Jin Xuan and said, "If you lead the army to attack suddenly, the enemy army will inevitably flee in a hurry, but it will soon organize a counterattack." You can retreat with one blow, and lead your army back before the enemy counterattacks. ”

"Yes." Jin Xuan saw Xu Shu capture Zhang Lu with family planning, and he was very respectful and replied.

Lei Tong Wu Lan's army was marching on a narrow official road with forests on both sides, and the formation was tight, and there was no chatter and laughter of the soldiers, only a vibrating marching sound that was not very neat.

Lei Tong Wu Lan in front of the team has almost walked out of the forest, and Xintong County is in sight; The soldiers in the middle of the team suddenly heard the sound of shouts and gallops, and they could also faintly hear the "sizzling" sound of weapons rubbing in the air.

appeared, and a Fushui soldier said silently. Hundreds of spears galloped out from the trees on the left, and struck at the Fushui Army. The quality of the 8,000 spearmen led by Jin Xuan was far from catching up with Zhao Yun's, and some of the newly surrendered Han sergeants were not very familiar with the method of stabbing warfare, and the tip of the spear stabbed the friendly troops in the impact.

But in the eyes of the Fushui soldiers who were attacked, they were all heavenly soldiers and gods at the moment, and they came to harvest their lives mercilessly.

The narrow marching contingent was simply unable to form a strong defense, and it was ready to collapse at the first touch. The screams in the panic escape were intertwined with the shouts of the Golden Spinner, mixed with the clatter of the spear blade piercing **, and the rustle of falling leaves, like a symphony.

Lei Tong, who was at the front of the team, heard the sound and turned his head sharply:

"What sound?"

"Report! The squadron was attacked! One of the soldiers came running over with a breath and fell to his knees to rest.

"Damn! Come back with me and fight back! Lei Tong shouted.

Jin Xuan vaguely heard Lei Tong's shout, his voice was majestic, thinking of Xu Shu's words, and thinking that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat this general, so he led the army to retreat to the depths of the woods.

Xu Shu waited in the depths of the woods, afraid that Jin Xuan would be able to defeat Lei Tong Wu Lan in a hard fight, and when he saw Jin Xuan returning, he hurriedly said:

"We withdrew our troops in the direction of Xintong, and asked the soldiers to light fires and set the trees on fire."

Lei Tong Wu Lan fell back to the squadron, stunned that he did not encounter a single enemy soldier, and was furious.

Then he saw dozens of enemy troops hurrying to the depths of the woods, so he understood, and shouted:

"Soldiers! Follow me to hunt down the enemy! ”

It was spring in April, and it had already rained continuously, especially in the basin of Shuzhong, and the air humidity was very high. Xu Shujun didn't ignite the fire at all, but it didn't ignite the fire, and a lot of smoke poured out. After the fire is extinguished, it smokes non-stop, filling the lush jungle like a fairyland.

Lei Tong pursued the enemy in the thick smoke, and he was really coughed by the smoke, but he still cheered up and shouted:

"Brothers! It's good to go through this paragraph! We avenge the dead brethren! ”

The morale of the Lei Tong Wulan army was high, and they all endured the smoke and dust to squeeze into their eyes and lungs and continued to march, marching for ten miles.

The smoke dissipated, Lei Tong found that he led the army to rush out of the woods, and in front of him was the Xintong Basin with a relatively wide field of vision, thousands of acres of fertile land, and the Xintong City on the horizon was vaguely visible, but where was there still an enemy army?

"General Lei, what should I do now?" Wu Lan asked.

Lei Tong shook his head and came to his senses, and said vicissitudes: "The sneak attack should only be a small army, and it can't be a big deal, our first task is to go to Xintong City to relieve Zhang Ren's siege." Then he shouted to the soldiers:

"Everyone marched towards Xintong, resting while marching."

However, it was said that Xu Shu led the army to escape from the woods, so he asked a general to lead dozens of people to Xintong, pass information to Zhao Yun, and then let the soldiers hide in the woods on the other side of the official road. At this time, Xu Shu saw that the Lei Tong Army had come out and walked far away in the direction of Xintong, so he asked the soldiers to march in the direction of Fushui.

Halfway through the journey, nearly 100 Fushui gunners who had been stabbed by Jin Xuan's spearmen just now were resting in place, and when they saw the army coming, they endured their injuries and wanted to rush forward to fight, but they were beaten to the ground by Xu Shujun one by one.

"Don't embarrass them, take off their uniforms and put them on the ground!" Xu Shu ordered.

After changing into military uniforms, continue the march. At dusk, the sunset had not yet sunk to the ground, but it had been blocked by the group in Shuzhong, the light was dim, and the commander of the garrison on the Fushui Pass asked the soldiers to light the oil lamps and murmured: "The general has been on the expedition for two days, why hasn't there been any news." As he spoke, a shout came from under the gate:

"Someone's coming!" Several soldiers in sailor uniforms shouted under the city.

"What's going on?" The captain of the garrison lay on the city wall and shouted, the light was dim, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only the Yizhou military uniform could be seen.

"Hanzhong Zhang Lu led 100,000 troops to attack, General Zhang Ren and General Wu Tong were defeated, we are about to go to Chengdu to ask for reinforcements, let us in!"

The commander of the defending army heard that Zhang Ren and Lei Tong were defeated, and the military situation was urgent, so he couldn't allow him to think, so he quickly called the people to open and close the door.

The gate was wide open, and the Xu Shu army hidden in the woods outside the pass was led by Jin Xuan to rush in and attack Fushui Pass.
