PS: The battle of Hanzhong is finished

However, he said that Zhang Wei led 20,000 remnants of the defeated army to return to Chenggu, preparing to recapture Chenggu in one fell swoop, but he didn't want to be intercepted and killed by Zhao Ang's army as soon as he was halfway through, and he shot indiscriminately in the valley to besiege and kill.

It turned out that after Zhao Ang gathered the team in the valley that day, he immediately cut down the wood into a boat, crossed the Han River dangerously, and led 20,000 horses to sneak into a forest within a hundred miles of the city. At that time, Zhang Wei only wanted to defeat Huang Zhong, and the scouts were sent to the Hanshui ferry to inquire about Zhao Ang's news at any time, beware of Huang Zhong's use of the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole.

The autumn sun is slanting in the west, withered vines and old trees, there is a killing atmosphere between heaven and earth, and an ambush battle is about to start.

Huang Zhong urged him to step forward, and the big knife pointed at Zhang Wei and scolded: "What? If you don't descend, do you really want to die here? ”

Zhang Wei twisted his spear, pointed at Huang Zhong and scolded: "Phew, old horseman, we have never been blood-short men in Hanzhong, and if you want me to descend, there is no door!" ”

Zhang Wei saw that Huang Zhong fought against the water, and he actually fought 8,000 to 40,000, and he was stunned to kill his own people and horses to lose their armor and flesh and blood, their current situation is similar to Huang Zhong's previous situation, surrounded by the Xiliang army on all sides, and there is no way out. Why don't he follow Huang Zhong's example, boost morale, let the soldiers have no desire for life, put them to death and live later, maybe they can turn defeat into victory, and there is no better way at the moment, why don't you give it a try? Zhang Wei thought so in his heart.

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Wei with a resolute look, how he didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth drew a slight arc, and he glanced at Zhao Ang. Raise the knife and shout: "What are you waiting for, kill me!" ”

Under Huang Zhong's roar, the spirit of the Xiliang Army that spread all over the mountains was suddenly shocked, and he rushed down the mountain from all directions brandishing his sword, and the dense sergeant formation was divided into eight directions, and the flag was divided into five colors. Surrounded by three missing one, the Hanzhong army cried and shouted for his mother, and the army was defeated.

This method of encircling three without one was effective, and many Hanzhong troops did not survive on the spot, but flocked to the weakest area of the encirclement, trying to tear open the gap in one go, flee back to Hanzhong, and be an honest farmer from then on.

Zhang Wei, who was rushing left and right to break through, suddenly found that a cavalry was coming straight towards his Chinese army, and he couldn't help but be shocked and his face turned pale. hurriedly ordered: "Block Xu Huang for me, block Huang Zhong for me, block it!" ”

Zhang Wei at the last moment may not be afraid of death, but at this moment, he found that there was a way to live, and the fear of death in his heart surged in an instant. hurriedly ordered the surrounding soldiers to step forward to block Xu Huang, so as to find a way for him to escape.

The guards beside Zhang Wei hurriedly waved their weapons to resist. But the two fierce generals came together, coupled with the five thousand iron horsemen behind him, this formation was enough to make people tremble and their scalps exploded. Sure enough, under the leadership of Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, the five thousand iron horsemen were like tigers entering a flock of sheep and foxes entering the chicken coop. Horses' hooves passed, chopping waves, flesh and blood flew sideways, and corpses filled the road.

"Help me, who will save me?"

Zhang Wei shouted loudly as he rode his horse and fled. It's just that the valley is narrow, and the surrounding area is surrounded by its own soldiers, and the horse's hooves can't run at all, and the Xiliang army is chasing and intercepting all around, and Zhang Wei's soldiers just want to make way and can't get out of the way.

Seeing Xu Huang rushing over as if he was asking for his life, Zhang Wei wailed sadly: "My life is over!" ”

At this critical moment, the army came to him with a sword, pushed him, and said impatiently: "The general is leaving, I will stop him!" ”

Zhang Wei first glanced at the army in surprise, and then bowed with a knife: "Thank you Li for joining the army for your rescue, I will report back in the future!" ”

Joining the army heard this, he smiled miserably, what is the future, he is going to be buried here today, the reason why he blocked Xu Huang for Zhang Wei is to fulfill his own reputation, and he is no longer talking nonsense at the moment, carrying a sword, and taking Xu Huang in the opposite way.

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Xu Huang saw that there was a weak scribe in front of him, and he was furious at the moment, and the big axe in his hand was raised high and smashed on his head, smashing the army into bleeding, spraying molars, and adding an axe, and smashing the head of the army into the abdominal cavity

At this time, a thunderclap was suddenly heard in the sky, and the pouring rain seemed to have been discussed with the Fertile Blood Battlefield, and it came as promised in an instant, one by one thunder exploded, one by one lightning was raging, and the dark clouds in the sky were rolling, as if there was a demon with teeth and claws hidden in the clouds, and the whole world was immersed in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Chenggu field, the soldiers on both sides are still fighting each other in the valley, but when the Hanzhong army has not yet moved the formation in a hurry, the Xiliang army has swept to the front of the army, only to see the boundless naked horse, fierce as a wild lion, spread like Hong Yong, Zhang Wei saw that the troops had been scattered, and the state iron cavalry soared to the front, his own Hanzhong elite people turned over on their horses, the soldiers who fell from the horse screamed, the soldiers who avoided the soldiers were frightened, the swords and guns in their hands did not know where to beckon, the crooked banner was difficult to distinguish the horizontal and vertical things, and heard "capture Zhang Wei alive!" Fall early and avoid death! The shouts came and went, Zhang Wei's heart was broken, his face was gloomy, if he didn't run away at this time, when would he stay?

As soon as he saw the commander leading by example, he fled for his life in a hurry, and the soldiers of the three armies rushed to be the first, who did not follow suit? What does it mean to be defeated? The current Hanzhong Army is a model, pity those Han soldiers who go out with the army, trample on each other, countless casualties, and wail everywhere.

Huang Zhong saw that Zhang Wei escaped from the encirclement, and did not chase after him, and waved the command flag indifferently, so that the army tightened its pockets, and began to encircle and kill the Hanzhong sergeants who remained in the valley.

The forest-like spears and halberds are slashed, the snowflakes are slashed indiscriminately, there is no mercy at all, the opponent is viciously slashed to death, the blood valley is deep, shouting to kill the heavens, I can't tell who is the general and who is the soldier, only faster than whose sword is ruthless, the storm and rain, the flesh and blood are flying, there are corpses everywhere, there are desperate screams everywhere, the encirclement of the Xiliang army is getting smaller and smaller, the Hanzhong army is getting smaller and smaller, and there are less than a thousand people left in the end, and they are completely surrounded by the black oppressive crowd, they are disheveled, their armor is broken, The sword was blunt, and the body was dripping with blood.

Huang Zhong looked at them appreciatively and said, "Surrender, don't fight senselessly, think about your family!" ”

Huang Zhong admired them very much, if the remaining more than 1,000 people could stay, they would definitely be able to become the elite of the Ning people in the future, after all, the warriors who crawled out of the pile of dead people were people who had been tempered by blood and fire, and one could top several ordinary soldiers, so Huang Zhong moved his heart of compassion and personally persuaded him to surrender.

In fact, the Xiliang army was not willing to fight, they deeply admired these Hanzhong troops who did not surrender, they only knew that the Xiliang people and the Bingzhou people were the most ferocious soldiers in the Han Dynasty, but today these Hanzhong troops with their actions interpret that they also belong to the warriors

"Surrender!" "Brothers, surrender, think about your family" "Yes, surrender, we will be robes from now on!" ”

Whether it was the Xiliang Army that fought or the Hanzhong Army that surrendered, they all exhorted those Hanzhong troops with swords to surrender, especially those Hanzhong troops who surrendered, seeing that the former Paoze brothers were covered in blood, their hearts were ashamed and distressed at the same time.

"I will surrender!" "I do, too!" "I'll wait for the surrender of my will, and I hope General Huang will take it in!"

Huang Zhong didn't wait too long, and the remaining more than 1,000 Hanzhong soldiers threw away their swords and knelt down to ask for surrender.

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled, and waved his big hand: "The whole army will return to the camp, kill cattle and sheep, reward the three armies, and tomorrow we will enter the city!" ”

After a whole day of desperate fighting, both the Xiliang army and the surrendered Hanzhong army were exhausted, coupled with the heavy rain, the wounds on the body were unbearable, and the soldiers had long wanted to go back to the camp to take a hot bath and then eat a big meal. At the moment, when I heard that Huang Zhong was going to reward the three armies, tens of thousands of soldiers all raised their arms and shouted, and after reining in the soldiers who died in battle, those who were injured were supported by the uninjured and slowly walked towards the Xiliang camp

In July of the second year of Jian'an, the battle of Hanzhong, which attracted the attention of the Ning, finally took a turn for the better, and the eastern defense line of Hanzhong was firmly lost, and Huang Zhong, the general under Lu Bu, led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to drive straight into the capital of Hanzhong, Nanyin. Zhang Lu heard that the city was lost, and hurriedly led the army back to the south of the division, held the city, and the confrontation of Gan Ning took advantage of the situation to attack the Jiameng Pass, and on the second day, the pass was locked, and the pass was broken, and the Jiameng Pass guard killed Zhang Ying, and the rest of the people all surrendered, and the only main way to enter Shu, Jiameng Pass, also fell into the hands of the Xiliang army. In the northern defense line, because Lü Bu personally led 30,000 troops to aid Wei Yan, the two sides combined 60,000 troops and horses, day and night to attack the city of Wuxiang, under the absolute superiority, Wuxiang defender Yan Pu abandoned the city and fled, and the Xiliang army captured Wuxiang, an important town in the north of Hanzhong, without blood.

In the following month, Lu Bu's troops went out of Wuxiang, Huang Zhong's soldiers went out of Chenggu, and Gan Ning's soldiers went out of Jiameng Pass, with a total of 100,000 troops on the three routes, and surrounded Nanzhou, the capital of Hanzhong. The three-month battle of Hanzhong ended with the surrender of Zhang Lu, and after Lü Bu captured Hanzhong, he arrayed the army in the area of Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass, training soldiers and horses day and night, waiting for the opportunity. A discerning person can understand at a glance that he is going to use troops against Xichuan, and for a while, the people of Xichuan counties are panicking, and Liu Yan is also returning to the west at this most critical time.
