At the beginning of November of the fifth year of Jianwu, Wuguan at this time was besieged by the Han army for a whole month. The Han army raided, first broke through Lantian and then went down to Shangluo, just three days after taking Shangluo, the 50,000 army led by Xu Shu arrived at 20 miles outside the city of Wuguan, and quickly set up more than 20 camps around the periphery of the city, and surrounded Wuguan with water.

At the same time, Wu Yi, Liao Hua, Jiang Wei, Deng Zhi and other generations have also been ordered to go out, and after entering the enemy territory of Wuguan, they quickly seized the key passes, blocking the enemy of the Wu army in Fancheng in the south and the enemy of the Wei army in Henan in the east. Li Yan and Zhang Song led an army of 10,000 and were responsible for sweeping the counties on all sides of Wuguan City.

The Han army suddenly arrived, the momentum was huge, the troops were unstoppable, and in a few days, all the counties were looking at the wind and descending, and Wuguancheng fell into isolation. The Han army was forced by the huge ballistas on the Wuguan city wall, so the lightly armed troops had to bypass Wuguan and cut off its grain route, and then besieged Wuguan City with foot soldiers, but did not attack the city. In the first three months, Zhu Ran was still able to withstand it, but after a long time, the grain and grass in the city were already insufficient.

But at this time, the grain transportation team of the Shu Han army was always hanging outside the pass, with an expression of provoking you to come out and rob the grain, the first few times Zhu Ran was not moved, but there were still a few times when the food shortage in the city was approaching, and Zhu Ran couldn't sit still. Wuguan City is a closed city, built entirely for military purposes, there are no inhabitants in the city, only soldiers, and it is difficult to collect grain and grass if you want to collect grain.

Forced to be helpless, Zhu Ran held the mentality of letting go, and sent a general to lead a small number of cavalry to attack a grain cart, but unexpectedly this was not an ambush of the Han army, but when he looked at the food that was enough for the soldiers in the city to eat for ten days and pushed back to the city, Zhu Ran's expression was so wonderful and wonderful.

After that, Zhu Ran attacked the Han army's grain trucks several times, all of which were bumper harvests. And today a scout came to report that another wagon of grain was heading west. Seeing that there was still a month's worth of food in the city, in order to prevent the Han army from strengthening its defenses in the future. Zhu Ran decided to commit a crime against the wind.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Ran's 3,000 army arrived, the Shu Han soldiers of the grain convoy still had the courage to push the grain cart back, and it was also a loss to the Wu army's young horses, and Zhu Ran's foot soldiers actually reluctantly pursued behind him for a full three miles. The fleeing Han army entered a valley sandwiched between two low mountains, and although the central valley road was flat, it only allowed seven or eight horses to travel side by side. Not long ago, the convoy hurried past here, but it was less than half an hour. And he will flee again in defeat.

However, when Zhu Ran led the army and was preparing to command the troops to catch turtles in the urn, he suddenly found that this trough seemed to be a little unusual, and he was cautious by nature and would never rush into danger, preferring not to have these grains. So Zhu Ran did not enter the valley, but turned the horse's head and returned empty-handed.

Shortly after Zhu Ran returned to Wuguan. There was a puff of smoke and dust in the north. After a short time, 6,000 Han troops attacked. Wu Ban and Zhang Yi. Commanded the Han army to storm Wuguan. But Zhu Ran had already prepared, and he was ready to beat wood, boiling oil, arrows, etc., and relied on the high city of Wuguan City to easily repel several attacks by the Han army.

Looking at the back of the Han army's withdrawal, Zhu Ran on the city wall didn't have time to tidy up his appearance, and looked into the distance with his two eyes. I secretly muttered in my heart, "Come to think of it, the reinforcements of the Metropolitan Governor are about to arrive, and I am afraid that this Wuguan will not be able to hold it." ’

?????????????????????????

Sure enough, five days later. Twenty miles south of Wuguan City. An army of tens of thousands of people marched rapidly, countless flying horses around the long dragon came and went, reconnoitering the surrounding situation, Sun Huan and Sun Song stood in the middle of the army, looking around with a solemn expression. It was too quiet for Guy to walk down for a hundred and ten miles, and it was surprising that there was not even a cavalry of the Han army to disturb the enemy after this martial pass.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation at Wuguan was not as serious as Zhu Ran's letter, Zhu Ran would still resist the offensive of 50,000 or 60,000 Han troops and force the enemy army not to rush around the pass; It is that the Shu Han army wants to come to a big one, but judging from the intelligence collected along the way, the latter is more likely.

"Report !!" A scout galloped over with wind and dust, grew a promise on his horse, grabbed the reins and said: "Two generals, there is a Han army formation five miles away, about 8,000 people. ”

"Explore!!" Sun Huan, who sent away the scout, turned his helpless eyes to Sun Song. "My lord, the enemy army is too strong for our army to be defeated. However, General Zhu may not have enough food for a few days. This ???"

Sun Song was also quite helpless and said: "Xiao Wang doesn't have a very good way, it's better to try the formation, Wuguan is strong, even if the Han army goes around the city, at most there are only eight or nine thousand soldiers and horses, and the heavy armor is afraid that it will be difficult to transport, so it is better to try the depth of the water." ”

"Good !!" Sun Huan knew that there might still be a chance to give it a try, but if he didn't try, Wuguan would be completely lifeless. "The generals will obey the order, take the battle, and meet the enemy!!"

At the sound of an order, rows of horns sounded, followed by the rumbling of more than a dozen big drums on the chariot behind Sun Huan, and the 10,000 Wu troops that stretched for several miles quickly closed and formed a battle formation and began to slowly move forward.

"The king, you are the son of a daughter, you can't rush into battle, and you will command the snare drum, how to !!" After Sun Huan gave the order, he said to Sun Song cautiously. The so-called command of the snare drum is actually to command the whole army to fight, and the command of the three armed forces against each other is nothing more than war drums and horns.

"Good!!"

At this time, Sun Song rode his horse to the drum platform that had just been temporarily erected, turned over and dismounted, and jumped on the wooden platform with a few steps high, on which a big drum had already been erected. Sun Song rolled up his sleeves, picked up two big wooden mallets with thick arms, and used all his strength to beat the cowhide drum desperately.

Boom! Boom! Mouth dong dong!

The thunderous drum beat, carrying Sun Song's fighting intent, scattered like angry waves.

The soldiers of the Wu army, seeing that the dignified prince actually cheered for them in person, were naturally moved and excited, and their blood boiled to the extreme for a while, and they just wanted to use their flesh and blood to fight for the Great Wu Empire.

"Great Wu is mighty! Great Wu is mighty! ”

Then there was a deafening roar, 10,000 Wu troops were shocked, and more than a dozen small phalanxes were pushed towards the enemy army, the gray and white armor, the swords and halberds as dense as wood, like Shura people who came out of hell. It has the terrible power to devour all those who stand in its way.

A few minutes later, on the left, center, and right, dozens of phalanxes of the two armies collided together.

Miserable howls, metal crashes, roars, and countless chaotic sounds are intertwined, only to make the heavens and the earth slaughter, and all things are moved.

Sun Song on the high platform stared coldly at the flesh and blood killing field in front of him, his nerves had become a string, and all he could do now was beat the drum with all his might. I thought that his athletes were cheering, and he couldn't stop until he sweated like rain and his clothes and armor were wet.

The battle was fought from the first moment to the second hour, and there were countless corpses on the battlefield, and the blood flowed like a river. Nearly two people were entangled, all stained with blood. From a distance, it is not who is the Han soldier. Who is Wu Zu.

The soldiers fought like this, their mental and physical strength were greatly consumed, and after a few hours of killing, most of them were exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Sun Song, who was commanding behind. He was also exhausted, and he had already given up beating the drums and cheering, and could only stand on his horse to watch the battle.

"King, our army on the left flank suffered three hundred damage."

"On the right flank, our army suffered four hundred casualties."

"There are countless casualties in the middle."

One after another war reports kept coming. Each number represents countless fresh lives, this is the first time Sun Song has fought this kind of hard-fought hard battle, and for a while he entered the devil's mind, so he played the drum upright, played the drum, and there was no other reaction.

After fighting hard for an hour, he found that the Han army was more tenacious than he imagined, and Sun Huan, who felt that something was strange, ignored the blood stains on his body, beat his horse back to the drum platform, and then found Sun Song's strange appearance, and hurriedly snatched the mallet in Sun Song's hand and handed it to the guards, and pulled Sun Song away.

Seeing that Sun Song was still confused, Sun Huan hurriedly took his blood-covered hands and slapped them on Sun Song's face, and roared: "Zilong, wake up!" ”

"Oh!?" Sun Song's blood-red eyes finally retreated, and he hurriedly got up from the ground to look at the tragic situation of the battle in the distance, and asked, "How is the battle!" ”

Seeing that Sun Song was not completely confused, Sun Huan hurriedly said: "It's a little weird, the Han army is full of fighting spirit, and looking at the formation, it seems that half of the troops have been lost but there is no sign of collapse. I'm afraid that the enemy has a trick!! ”

And in the command place of the Shu Han army on the opposite side, at this time, the deputy commander of this unit, Deng Zhi, was even more nervous, originally this army was Zhuge Liang's training in Yizhou, and there was no great merit in the last time in the Guanlong War, and the reward of the natural soldiers was not enough, and the army was in turmoil. This time, Zhuge Liang relied on his friendship with Xu Shu to mention that Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi won this opportunity to block the enemy, and personally designed it, in order to regain the credit and stabilize the morale of the army. This army is Zhuge Liang's political capital, how can it be dispersed. Therefore, when Deng Zhi lost nearly half of his life, his face was already bloodless.

However, Ma Jian on the side was sober, watching Wu Jun enter the third formation, hurriedly woke up the anxious Deng Zhi, and said loudly: "Deng Jian Jun, the general (Zhao Yun) is out of the horse!! ”

"Oooh!! Okay~~" Deng Zhi is also a figure who is in danger, but the authorities are just confused, and he was woken up by Ma Jian at this time, and he didn't think about the consequences of losing too many soldiers and horses for a while, and shouted: "Come on, blow the horn!" ”

Woo woo woo ~ ~ This is the unique horn of the Xiliang Army, the sound is different from that commonly used by the Wu army and even the Han army, and it is like a wolf howl.

On the west side of the battlefield, as far as the eye can see, at the end of the wilderness, a thin black line is wriggling. The sky full of smoke and dust is their best footnote, and the trembling of the earth declares what kind of army it is.

The battle continued on the battlefield, killing the red-eyed Han and Wu soldiers, everyone's attention was focused on the enemy in front of them, and no one noticed that the thin black line on the horizon was getting thicker.

A long horn rose at the end of the sky, as if from another world, the black line became thicker and thicker, and the speed of squirming forward became faster and faster.

Finally, someone began to notice the changes in the distance, and Sun Huan and Sun Song, who were at the highest point at this time, stretched their necks at the same time and looked in the direction where the horn sound came.

There was a faint sound of thunder coming from the sky, and the earth under his feet trembled.

In an instant, Sun Song's face changed, Sun Huan's face changed, and the faces of all the soldiers of the Wu army who noticed the strange change changed.

It was a cavalry, a cavalry that came out of nowhere.

The momentum is as fast as the wind, and when it is close, Sun Song can even clearly see that the fierce flag that is waving in the wind is embroidered with the word "Zhao" of Douda.

Dressed in red and silver armor, riding on a white horse. This is a thousand cavalry, but under the crotch is a white horse, since the battle of the boundary bridge, there has not been a white horse force of this size.

In the midst of that torrent, Zhao Yun held his spear high, his imperial horse galloped like lightning, and a thousand Han soldiers rode like the tail of a huixing, closely following him. This huge cavalry formation composed of Xiliang athletes is like the water of the River Styx that bursts its banks, carrying the power of destroying everything. As if the sky was falling apart, it swept towards the flank of the Wu army on the battlefield.

The earth below his feet receded like a tidal wave, and there was only the rumbling sound of thousands of war horses hitting the ground between heaven and earth, and Zhao Yun seemed to be able to see that the whole world was trembling for him, and the fierce pride was burning in his chest. His eyes were spewing with scorching flames. Decades ago, on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang. There was a man riding a white horse, which frightened the Hu people. It's a pity that that person is not the master in his Zhao Yun's heart. Eventually, he abandoned the man, and watched as the army that had been infused with his blood shattered.

"Today, I, Zhao Yun, will return you an army." Zhao Yun speared to the sky and let out a long roar: "White Horse Righteous Follow, Run!" ”

Whoosh!! Like a cool breeze blowing on a silent midsummer night, how intoxicating such a beautiful sound is on the battlefield. The soldier Wu who was in the rear looked blankly at the black dots that were expanding from far and near. I forgot to dodge, knowing that the cold of the arrows was overwhelming.

"Arrow Attack!! Raise the shield and close the !! ”

Poof!! Poof!! At this time, how could the shield have arrows that came quickly, and in an instant, countless Wu soldiers fell in a pool of blood. I can't climb out anymore. However, this was just the beginning, Zhao Yun took the lead, with a thousand cavalry, to compete with the Han army to surround the 10,000 Wu legions.

On the drum platform, Sun Song and the others were deaf and blind, and Sun Song pulled out his sword fiercely, if it weren't for Sun Huan holding him, I am afraid that he would have ridden a war horse to find Zhao Yun, who is also Zilong, to fight alone!!

"The king is cautious, don't mess with yourself at this time!!" Sun Huan was also anxious, but the characteristics he had cultivated in battle for a long time allowed him to calm down temporarily. And he himself knows that at this time, the Wu army has fallen into the battle formation of the Shu Han army, and the rear has been exploded by the cavalry.

But is this cavalry really that easy to solve? Not to mention the white horse Yicong, even if it is an ordinary inferior horse cavalry, it is difficult to defeat under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, as an arrow, can be said to be the top five cavalry generals among the famous generals that Sun Huan has heard of and seen, and what is even more terrifying is that this is a master of chaos. In the past, Changban Slope, one person, one gun, seven in and seven out, defeated countless famous generals of Cao Ying, Sun Huan asked himself if he was not as good as those famous generals, how to be Zhao Yun's opponent. Even if Sun Song is superb in martial arts, he will definitely lose against Zhao Yun, and the only thing to be thankful for is that Sun Song may be able to come back.

"King, at the moment, only you take the personal guard cavalry to stop Zhao Yun for a moment, and I will immediately enter the battle and command the soldiers to retreat and leave the battle circle." Sun Huan said to Sun Song with a serious face, he is ruthless, if Sun Song is killed by Zhao Yun, he will win the battle, and Lu Xun will not spare him, this is not a dignified prince! The longest of the Sun generation, the future Zongzheng and the clan elder.

"Good!!" Sun Song is not a person who is afraid of things, and when he nodded his head, he was about to beckon the guards to fetch the horse lance.

But at this moment, the Han army's formation, which was originally resisting the Wu army's formation, suddenly panicked, and the formation suddenly became chaotic, and the front of the Wu army actually beat the Han army.

"This !!" Sun Song happened to turn his head to see this startling scene at this time, and he couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly turned his eyes on Sun Huan.

Sun Huan stretched his neck and looked at the source of the chaos of the Han army, this look can be shocked into a cold sweat, the back of the Han army was actually attacked by a Wu army, although due to the distance, Sun Huan could not see clearly whose name was written on the battle flag, but the Wu army that appeared within a radius of 100 miles would have no one else except Zhu Ran of Wuguan.

Although Sun Huan was sincerely grateful to Zhu Ran for daring to go out of the city to help in this situation, he was more worried, there were 50,000 Han troops stationed in the north of Wuguan, if Xu Shu took this opportunity to attack the city, wouldn't Wuguan be lost?

"Brother Shuwu, it's Zhu Dudu's soldiers and horses, what should we do!?" At this time, Sun Song's interjection interrupted Sun Huan Feiyang's train of thought.

"According to the original plan, the Han army's position is in chaos, and our army should take advantage of the situation to pursue!!"

"!!"

Three quarters of an hour later, on the slope where Deng Zhi originally commanded the battle, Sun Song, Sun Huan and Zhu Ran were sitting on the grass drinking spirits, the wind was cold in the north, it was already November, and most of the Wu troops had to wear spirits to warm their bodies when they went to war.

In this battle, the Han army left 5,000 corpses and fled eastward, while the Wu army also lost almost 5,000 soldiers, most of whom were shot by Zhao Yun's Bai Ma Yicong. There are many Wu soldiers, and the Han army has a plan, but in the end it is just a tie, and both sides are not satisfied with such a record.

"Uncle Wu won't tell you that Wuguan can't be defended." Zhu Ran took a sip, rubbed his frozen hands, and said with a wry smile: "The Metropolitan Governor has to face Cao Zhen and Sima Yi, and there are no reinforcements to send." And now Uncle Wu, your command has also suffered heavy losses, even if you enter the martial arts, it will be useless. ”

"Then, how is Brother Yifeng going to !??" Sun Huan asked.

"Retreat!! Abandon the martial arts!! Go South!! ”

"Good!!" Sun Huan has no objections at all, the two have guarded Xiangyang together and admire Zhu Ran's ability, and Zhu Ran is the deputy governor with greater autonomy than him, of course he can withdraw the army.

Sun Song on the side pursed his lips, wanting to say something but held back, although he was unwilling, he also knew that the vicinity of Wuguan was in the hands of the Han army, and a lonely city was difficult to sustain. (To be continued......)
