Chapter 36 The War in Shuzhong
The next morning, the sun was shining, and the spring and March sunshine sprinkled on a small basin between Xiameng Pass and Fushui Pass, and the snow on the mountains and hills turned into clear flowing water. Some of the early farmers loosen the soil for the winter rape sprouts, or plant wheat and rice on the terraces, and when they are resting, they look down the mountain and watch the Jingzhou soldiers march, like people from outside the world.
Xu Shu led the army from Xintong City with great fanfare, and the dust that was deliberately stepped on covered the entire marching team, and the sound of laughter was everywhere, bustling and noisy. The soldiers in the dust and haze did not feel hard, but were very happy, how could there be a march like this, this is the spring outing.
When he came to Xintong City, Xu Shu called the soldiers to shout to the city:
"Let's attack Chengdu, General Zhang is not far away!"
Zhang Ren, who was standing at the city gate, watched Xu Shu lead the army over, heard the shouts of the soldiers in Jingzhou, and thought that he had received the news of the loss of Jiangzhou a few days ago and thought it was a false report that the enemy army was deliberately walking.
But Zhang Ren saw that the enemy army deliberately swaggered past the city, and the dust that was raised was all over the sky, squeezing into his eyes, and his IQ was not low, he thought that this was the enemy general deliberately luring him out of the city, and there must be an ambush outside the city, so he waved his hand:
"Archer, release the arrow!"
The archers on the city wall fired a volley, and the soldiers of Xu Shu under the city hurriedly dodged, and the soldiers were very far apart, and very few were shot. It was another round of arrow rain, and many of Xu Shujun's military flags were planted with arrows.
"Speed up the march! Say goodbye to General Zhang again! Xu Shu's low and deep command voice came out, and the soldiers accelerated to follow, and at the same time shouted at Zhang Ren:
"General Zhang is not far away, ahhhh Xu Shujun has traveled far away, and the shouts echo between the mountains in Shuzhong, so they don't stop, hitting Zhang Ren's nerves again and again, Zhang Ren wants to go out of the city and wave his army to cover up, but he is afraid of an ambush, and finally shoots an arrow at Xu Shujun.
A moment later, Zhang Ren on Xintong City watched Xu Shujun disappear on the horizon, thinking that the terrain in Xintong was extremely familiar, and he was not afraid of any ambush from the enemy, so be careful. immediately regretted, and after remorse, he shouted:
"Boys, follow me out of the city to pursue the enemy army!"
The soldiers who had been huddled in Xintong City for nearly ten days without fighting were cheered up by Zhang Ren's loud cheers, and their morale was high, and they were determined to defeat the enemy army.
The city gate bridge was put down, Zhang Ren led the army out of the city, standing in the open space in front of the city and waiting for the soldiers to go out of the city, standing up to the sky, looking at the land in Shuzhong, the wild momentum was above the four fields, and the blood and pride returned to the king of the spear in Shu, what about the enemy general's martial arts, I don't fight with him alone.
"Eh, why didn't you see that white-clothed general just now?" Zhang Renzheng muttered, and suddenly a bold and majestic shout came:
"Thrust Impact!" I saw the white-clothed Zhao Yun leading the army with a gun from the direction of Xiameng Pass, the violent shouts of the soldiers made the earthquake shake, the Xintong soldiers under the city were deafened, and looked at the sprinting spearmen in a daze, the army was in a panic, and fled to the city in a hurry, and the soldiers who were out of the city under the city gate thought that they wanted to escape from the battle (it was originally an escape), and they made a noise, and the city gate hole was blocked.
The momentum of Zhao Yun's spearmen burst out was better than the galloping of thousands of horses, like a river pouring for thousands of miles, and like the impact of a chariot during the Warring States Period, and the dust raised by the spear army condensed into a victorious auspicious cloud in the rear of the spear army.
At this moment, Zhang Ren was standing in front of the Xintong formation, and he suddenly felt that this time he was not alone against the sharp tip of the white-clothed general, but a huge spear formed by a person's sudden charge against thousands of spearmen, the tip of the spear was hideous, and the brilliant tip of the spear pierced his heart.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and swept Zhang Ren to the ground with a shot, and continued to lead the army forward, the soldiers under Xintong City were in chaos, but there were still many weapons brandishing to attack the enemy who were attacking sharply, and then without hesitation, they were pierced through the heart by the spear, and the lifeless body fell backwards for several meters and fell.
The commander of the guards on the city wall hurriedly asked the city gate soldiers to pull up the city gate bridge, but the city gate bridge was crowded, and the Xintong soldiers all went to the city, where can the city gate bridge be pulled.
"Stand back! The city matters! The captain of the garrison retreated from the city gate bridge and the Xin Tong soldiers who were squeezing on the city gate bridge, and the soldiers under the city looked timidly at the angry captain of the defenders, and gradually retreated, the city is important? Is it abandonment or betrayal?
Zhao Yun led the army to rush to the city, and the fierce guns of the whole army had dissipated, but the soldiers left outside the city all resisted and surrendered. Zhao Yun rushed to the city gate, looked at the gradually rising city gate bridge, panicked, and then casually picked up a painting halberd on the ground, turned and threw it at the hemp rope that tied the city gate bridge.
Then there was a "bang", and the hemp rope that tied the bridge to the city gate was cut by the blade of the halberd. "Boom" The city gate bridge fell to the left, and the Xin Tong soldier who pulled the hemp rope on the left on the city wall fell backwards, but the soldier who pulled the hemp rope on the right felt a struggle, and could no longer pull it, and the city gate bridge was stagnant in mid-air. Zhao Yun, who hit the blow in one blow, was about to pick up a halberd and hit it again, and the Jingzhou soldiers behind him were waiting for it, but they heard a few "booms", the hemp rope on the right side broke, and the city gate bridge fell to the ground.
Zhao Yun danced the pear blossom red tassel gun into the city, street fighting? There's no need for that. The Jingzhou army was devastated, and the Xintong army surrendered one after another.
After occupying Xintong, Zhao Yun came to the City Lord's Mansion, and the soldiers had already tied Zhang Ren up and held him in the mansion. Zhao Yunping retreated from everyone, untied the rope for Zhang Ren, took off his clothes and split on Zhang Ren's body, and helped Zhang Ren to the main seat and sat down.
Then he stepped back and bowed down on one knee, and said:
"Zhao Yun visited Senior Brother, he was offended a lot before, Senior Brother is fine!"
"Are you Zhao Yun?" At that time, Zhao Yun did not have a business name when he learned art, and Zhang Ren only knew that Zhao Yun was his junior brother, and he thought of Zhao Yun's marksmanship, and the figure in front of him gradually coincided with the thin young man.
Then there was Zhao Yun and Zhang's long and short questions, and the brotherhood that had been interrupted for more than ten years gradually permeated the house.
Then Zhang Ren asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, are you now starting an army or are you leading the army for Liu Biao?" I haven't heard of you all these years. ”
"In other words, the current lord of Yun is still the elder brother Zhang Xiu whom Yun has not met."
"Senior Brother Zhang Xiu?" Zhang Ren exclaimed, Shu is steep, the news is not clear, and Zhang Ren does not know that Zhang Xiu has seized Liu Biao's Jingzhou.
"Yes. At that time, I was waiting for Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang in Runan, and then Gongzi used the cloud, fortunately, Gongzi was able to pass through the heavens, and we took Jingzhou with lightning speed, and now we are attacking Yizhou. Senior brother, I am also engaged in this with senior brother, how about the reunion of the three of us? Zhao Yundao.
After listening to this, Zhang Ren lowered his head and muttered for a long time, then raised his head and said: "Although we have a deep brotherhood, Liu Jiyu's father and son treat me well and handed over Xin Tong to me for more than ten years. As long as Liu Jiyu is in one day, I won't change my position. ”
Zhao Yun laughed arrogantly after hearing this, and said, "I'm afraid Senior Brother won't be waiting for a long time!" ”
