Chapter 110: Yin Ping Guan Tian Danger
"The Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that you haven't been able to learn home!" Easily stabbing Zhang Ren's shot, Zhang Fei still had time to sneer, completely ignoring Zhang Ren on the other side was already in a cold sweat.
The Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun is the world's first gun master, known as the first generation of gun gods Tong Yuan's housekeeping skills. The king of the phoenix and the birds, as the name suggests, is the supreme marksmanship in the world. Tong Yuan has specialized in martial arts all his life, and this set of marksmanship has only been passed on to his three disciples, namely the eldest disciple Zhang Xiu, the spear king of Beidi, the second disciple Zhang Ren, the first general of Xichuan, and the disciple Changshan Zhao Zilong.
In terms of talent, Zhao Yun is much stronger than his two senior brothers. After learning the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun, and the blue is better than the blue, he created his own "Seven Snake Spears". The first battle became famous in the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, when the general Wen Chou chased and killed Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun killed Wen Chou alone, picked up Ju Yi, protected Gongsun Zan, and helped him turn defeat into victory. Zhang Fei has competed with Zhao Yun in martial arts over the years, and he is well aware of all the changes in the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear, and facing Zhang Ren is like a person who competes with the Brazilian team all day long, and now he is going to deal with the National Olympic team, it is naturally easy.
Zhang Fei was at ease, but Zhang Ren was sweating profusely. Since he learned the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, he has not met an opponent for more than 20 years, but today he was preemptively attacked by Zhang Fei, and he cracked it cleanly with one move. He didn't know that this was because Zhang Fei was familiar with the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, and he thought that Zhang Fei's martial arts were far superior to his own, which was really extraordinary. In fact, although Zhang Fei's martial arts are slightly better than him, if he is not familiar with the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, he will not be able to win against Zhang Ren without five hundred moves. Now Zhang Ren is being pressed and beaten, and defeat is only a matter of dozens of moves.
"Dang!" A big knife blocked Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, but it was Gao Xiang who stabbed it out and blocked a move for Zhang Ren. "Governor, go!" Gao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, greeting Zhang Fei like a mad tiger with one move and one style. Zhang Ren looked at the surrounding battle situation, after the Sichuan army was ambushed, coupled with the weak combat effectiveness, the whole scene had fallen behind, and began to be gradually surrounded and divided by the Jingzhou army. Zhang Ren knew that if he didn't retreat in time, at most one or two sticks of incense would take him, and his Sichuan army would not be able to withdraw even if he wanted to.
Now that Gao Xiang uses his surname to create an opportunity for himself, Zhang Ren naturally will not cherish it. After gritting his teeth and withdrawing from the battle circle, Zhang Ren began to assemble the Sichuan army to prepare for the evacuation. To the north, the raft has been destroyed and it is difficult to cross the river, to the south is the ambush circle of the other party, and to the east to Jingzhou is to throw itself into the net, these three sides are not good. At that moment, Zhang Ren gathered his men and horses to evacuate west along the Min River, preparing to go straight through Zhudi County to Qianwei County, and then return to the north bank.
"Hey!" Gao Xiang's martial arts are far inferior to Zhang Fei, after seven or eight rounds of fighting, Gao Xiang was pulled off his horse by Zhang Fei's spear, and then he was tightly tied up by the swarming Jingzhou army. This is still Zhang Fei saw that he was a good man, and he was righteous enough to sacrifice himself to save others, so he took a little effort to capture him, otherwise without five moves, Gao Xiang would end up as a corpse on the spot. After Zhang Ren's 50,000 Sichuan troops were ambushed, nearly 10,000 were annihilated, and another 10,000 were captured or surrendered, Zhang Ren led the remnants of about 30,000 to fight in Qianwei, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation to capture Bajun again.
"Ahh
A scream suddenly came from the plank road of Yinpingguan, a figure dancing fell down from the plank road, and the scream came up from the valley, which seemed extremely distant and terrifying, until a muffled sound of "bang" was completely over. And with it came the man's life.
The army of 10,000 who were moving on the plank road, no, now less than 10,000, seemed to be commonplace to this scene. At first, they will stop and sigh a few words. But now, they just walked silently, sighing at best.
This is already the seventh day after Zhao Feng's partial division stepped on the Yinpingguan plank road, in the first three days, the plank road that everyone walked was all repaired by Lu Dai, it was very stable and flat, and there were even railings on the side of the road. Zhao Feng walked, it was almost the same as the travel of later generations, and the march of the army was very easy, and for three whole days, there was no casualty.
But the nightmare started on the fourth day, although Lu Dai had already sent people to speed up the repair of the plank road at night, but after all, there was a shortage of manpower, and the plank road was indeed not short. From the fourth day, Zhao Feng's army had already set foot on the unrepaired primitive plank road. This plank road that has been in disrepair for a long time is really a murderous motive hidden in every step. No one knows if their next kick will be missed. No one knew if they would be stoned to death by the rocks rolling down from the mountain. Just walked in fear, and in the past four days, dozens of people fell off the cliff almost every day. The worst thing was that the day before yesterday, in order to satisfy their hunger, two Danyang soldiers took out a bird's nest on the side of the road and took out three bird eggs to eat.
Unexpectedly, it was the golden eagle's nest, but the behavior of the two provoked the crazy revenge of the golden eagle group. More than a dozen golden eagles began to attack the marching army on the plank road from time to time, pecking or pounced, and many soldiers were pecked to death or fell to death by them. Zhao Feng had no choice but to order a bow and arrow to fight back. But these golden eagles are huge, and when they spread their wings, they are four meters wide, and ordinary arrows can do very little damage to them. In the end, Zhao Feng had to order a halt to the march and shoot two golden eagles to death with a powerful copper box crossbow, and the rest did not dare to approach too closely. Rao is like this, dozens of soldiers have already died at the hands of these beasts.
"General, how difficult is this Yinpingguan plank road to walk!" Wiping the sweat from his face, Ma Jian sighed.
"The Shu road is difficult, and this Yinpingguan plank road is even more difficult. How about being young, can you still stick to it? Zhao Feng asked with a breath. In front of him, Wang Ping was looking into the distance, looking for a place to rest tonight.
"It's okay, now I can't hold it and I have to hold it, otherwise I'll die!" Ma Yan replied heyly. He was originally quite thin and tender, but after seven days of walking, his face was already dark. Although it looked a little rougher, Zhao Feng and the others obviously felt that Ma Yan's temperament was also a lot calmer. Looking at a hundred-way iron-hoofed horse carrying a bag full of dry food on his back, Ma Jian also said with some envy: "This beast is good at walking mountain roads, stronger than us, he is really a good horse!" ”
"The world is so big, there are no surprises!" Zhao Feng is also a little emotional, this kind of magic horse can go over mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, although he knew that this kind of horse can walk on mountain roads, but he didn't expect to be able to walk so steadily, even people sigh to themselves.
"General, fortunately, we haven't encountered heavy rain in the past few days, otherwise we would have died!" But it was Yang Ren who was a little lucky. In order to lighten the luggage he carried, this time Zhao Feng did not even carry the camp tent of the army, and each person only brought a hat and a coat to protect him from the sun and rain. If it really rains, then you can only soak.
"General, after this mountain in front, there is a small open area for the army to rest and recuperate!" It was Wang Pingxing who came back in a hurry. Zhao Feng was also relieved when he heard this, but he heard Wang Ping continue: "I saw that there are a lot of rock sheep on the hillside in front, you can come back at night and let the soldiers eat, we are tired of eating dry food these days!" ”
"That's just right!" Ma Jian and Yang Ren were both overjoyed when they heard this, and the former swallowed his saliva. Zhao Feng was about to speak, but he heard another scream at this time, everyone turned around in amazement, but saw another person and a horse falling down the mountain, the screams of people and the sorrow of horses became deeper and deeper, farther and farther and farther, and finally completely subsided with two muffled sounds.
Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "Write down his name, go back and comfort his family!" Ma Tan hurriedly agreed, and took out a piece of mulberry paper from the backpack behind his back, which was densely packed with nearly two hundred names.
After walking for less than an hour, the army all arrived at the open land that Wang Ping had mentioned. This open land is between two high mountains, but there are many rock sheep roaming there on the slopes of these two mountains. These beasts don't seem to be afraid of people, and they don't panic when they see people coming. Zhao Feng's heart moved, and he hurriedly sent someone forward to catch hundreds. In addition to slaughtering some soldiers on the spot, the rest brought supplementary dry food. The soldiers have not tasted meat for seven or eight days, and now they are overjoyed to have a full meal of mutton.
"Zijun, we've been walking for seven days, how long will it take to get to Motianling?" After dinner, Zhao Feng also asked Wang Ping, a geographer.
"General, I have waited for more than half of the distance, and it is estimated that if it doesn't rain, I will be able to reach Motianling in six or seven days at most, and after going down Motianling, it will only take less than a day to reach Jiangyou. It's summer now, and Jiangyou Mountain City is foggy, as long as you take advantage of the early morning to open the city gate to raid, you may be able to take it in one fell swoop! Wang Ping said excitedly.
"More than half of them?" Zhao Feng didn't expect that he had already walked more than half of the journey, and Wang Ping told him that it was up to Lu Dai to repair the most difficult plank road at the beginning, otherwise the seven-day journey would have taken more than nine days.
It's right to think about it this way, Deng Ai walked for seventeen days in history, and almost two of them were spent on hiding from the rain. If you calculate it this way, it will take you another five or six days, and you will almost be able to reach Motianling. The Jiangyou guard is Yang Huai, this person's brain is not very good, and it should not be too difficult to sneak attack Jiangyou by taking advantage of the fog. And once Jiangyou is taken, you can take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Sichuan army to take Mianyang and Mianzhu. In this way, the hinterland of the Sichuan army was disturbed by itself, and the grain routes that were transported to Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass at the same time were also cut off by themselves. When the time comes, He Qi will lead the army to attack head-on, which will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
The plan was perfect, but there was still a lot of work to be done before it was successful. In history, after Deng Ai took Mianzhu, he directly waved his army to attack Chengdu. But now there is still a city in the middle, where Zhang Ren's general Wu Ban led an army of 10,000 to garrison. Although he later became the general of Shu Han in history, he was not sure that he would immediately persuade him to surrender. And once Zhang Ren is defeated, he is likely to retreat to Luocheng, and it may not be so easy to take it at that time. As for whether Zhang Ren would be defeated, Zhao Feng was not worried at all. Zhang Fei + Zhuge Liang can't get a Zhang Ren, so they shouldn't mix.
As Zhao Feng expected, Zhang Ren was now beaten to the point of being unable to parry, and after retreating to Qianwei County, Zhang Ren rested a little and prepared to lead the army back to Ba County to garrison.
