Outside the city, fierce battle in the field, with Zhang Wei's order, the horn of the charge was blown in the Hanzhong army, 40,000 horses shouted loudly, with shields, trampled on the dust, charged forward, and killed the state army.
And the state army is not to be outdone, with Huang Zhong's order, the generals behind them are brave, urging the horses to charge forward, the drums behind them rumble, shaking the heavens and the earth, the two armies are in contact, and the generals will fight, such as the gods and ghosts of the heavens and the earth, the horses and horses, like the sea beasts and mountains to grab food.
In the vast wilderness, the sound of killing shook the sky for a while, the drums sounded like thunder, the heads of people rolled, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and more than 50,000 people and horses on both sides only killed the sky and the earth, and the sun and moon were dark.
Under the leadership of Huang Zhong, the soldiers of Bingzhou fought bravely, each competed for the first, the generals caught and killed, and the soldiers advanced one after another, although the Bingzhou army had Xu Huang and Huang Zhong pressed the formation, but in the face of the Hanzhong army swept like a tide, it slowly began to highlight the defeat, and was killed by the Hanzhong army and retreated.
In the melee, Xu Huang met Zhang Chi again, the two did not answer each other, you came and I fought together, I thought that Zhang Chi was Xu Huang's opponent, but more than ten battles, Xu Huang and his horse were split into two sections, and the state soldiers saw it really, the morale was greatly boosted at the moment, and the one enemy three were not afraid of death, and there were many soldiers who fought back on the occasion of death, and the enemy soldiers were both killed, and the unspeakable sorrow and ambition.
Huang Zhong's crotch is a dustless BMW, the three pavilions in his hand are chopping the mountain knife, galloping in the chaos of the army, the big knife in his hand is dancing vigorously, even beheading dozens of generals, the soldiers are countless, the horse's hooves are everywhere, like an old child, galloping, invincible, there is no enemy in front of his horse, seeing Huang Zhong so arrogant, several enemy generals of the enemy army urged the horse to come. wants to work together to kill Huang Zhong and establish immortal feats.
The white waves roll thousands of pear blossoms, the red Xia rolls thousands of apricot circles, and the dancing is a mountain chopping knife, a fire-tipped spear, and a flowing gold boring. 10,000 guns and knives, He Shu turned the sea upside down, just fight to the death.
Huang Zhong swept the entire battlefield while parrying, and seeing that his soldiers were about to fall into encirclement, Huang Zhong forced the enemy general back with a sword, and ordered the army to withdraw his troops.
Zhang Wei slashed over a dead general, and when he saw that Huang Zhong led the Bingzhou army to escape, he waved the big knife in his hand: "The whole army will charge with me." Hugh took Huang Zhong away, kill me! ”
With Zhang Wei's order, the Hanzhong army was beating drums and shouting loudly, like the sky destroying the earth, Yue shook the landslide, and the 40,000 Hanzhong army under the leadership of generals and colonels at all levels excitedly danced with swords and guns to advance bravely. Each rushed to the position of the state army.
Huang Zhong raised his sword and reined in his horse, looking at the Hanzhong army that was chasing and killing all over the mountains. Drink to stop those panicked soldiers, and shouted: "The three armies listen to my orders, don't mess up, I will cross cover with General Xu Huang, and the whole army will retreat to Hanshui!" ”
The three armies listened to the order and formed a formation to stop the enemy. In addition, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang personally pressed the formation, and the state army fought and retreated, and after taking turns, he defeated many Hanzhong troops who came to pursue.
The army stood on the hill and saw the state army fighting and walking. killed and injured a lot of his own military horses, frowned at the moment, turned his head to Zhang Wei and said: "General, no, you see that this and the state army are retreating without chaos, be careful of deceit!" ”
Zhang Wei smiled disapprenorantly: "Huang Zhong Xu Huang is a famous general, he has a good way of governing the army, although he was defeated, it is normal to retreat without chaos, you see, the direction of their retreat is Hanshui, the boat has long been crossed by Zhao Ang to the other side, they are now lambs to be slaughtered, don't hesitate, press me up!" ”
Joining the army pondered for a while, and felt that Zhang Wei was reasonable, so he waved the flag and ordered the army to press on all fronts, striving to quickly resolve the battle, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
After a few hours of scuffle, the sun had sunk in the west, and the two sides chased after me, fighting each other and retreating for more than 30 miles.
"General Qiyu, our ferry has been crossed to the other side by General Zhao Ang!"
Huang Zhong had just retreated to Hanshui with 8,000 remnants of his army, and the scouts who were in charge of exploring the way ahead rode their horses and reported the situation in Hanshui to Huang Zhong and asked him to make a decision.
Soon, Zhang Wei's army surrounded the Han River within a radius of fifty miles, and the black pressure pressed the boundless Hanzhong army to surround and kill, leaving only a terrifying blank space between the Hanzhong army and the Xiliang army, it was like the eye of a hurricane to make the Xiliang army isolated, looking at the countless red flags in the Hanzhong army's ranks, hunting and fluttering in the wind, the sun shone on the sharp spears of the Hanzhong army reflected a cold light, which made people tremble, and the trapped eight thousand Xiliang troops all felt murderous.
Huang Zhong immediately looked at the swarming Hanzhong army with a piercing gaze, and roared with some strong men breaking their wrists: "Sons, in the past, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, broke through the 100,000 Qin army with 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, and now our army is in the same situation as the overlord in the past, the only difference is that the enemy army is only 40,000 people. What do you think? How about we fight against the water, even if we die, we can't fall into the prestige of our state army! ”
There is a vicious Hanzhong army blocking the road in front, and there is a big river blocking the road, failure means death, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who have no way to retreat are red, and they burst out with an earth-shattering roar, rolling up the dust and killing those Hanzhong troops who are chasing and intercepting.
"This" Zhang Wei looked at the Xiliang army like a tiger in a dumbfounded manner, his heart instantly cooled most of the time, and the army next to him also rubbed his eyes incredibly, looking at all this in disbelief, they had never seen any such a fierce army, these Xiliang warriors were all brave and abnormal, with one as ten, they first destroyed the Hanzhong army's Yongdao, and then rushed into the Hanzhong army formation nine in and nine out, sharp and unstoppable, they were all as fierce as tigers, evil as wolves, and they killed the Hanzhong soldiers on their backs, scattered, The two armies were killed for a while, because by the river, although there were many Hanzhong troops, they could not surround the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army was extremely brave, and it was difficult to drive them down the river, so they could only watch the Xiliang army tear open the gaps one by one.
Miao Miao Han water, blood stained the long river, the two sides are fighting fiercely, Zhang Wei Zhai suddenly burst into flames, the tent fence is burning, the fire has been permeated to the camp of hoarding grain, under the shout of the north wind, the wind helps the fire, the fire borrows the wind, the fire burns more and more vigorously, it is not a big effort, Zhang Wei's Dazhai has been swallowed by the sea of fire.
The battle in front was unfavorable, and there was an inexplicable fire in the rear, burning the tent camp and the heavy grain and grass, Zhang Wei was shocked and angry, roaring and shouting and asked the soldier who came to report the news: "What the hell is going on, why did the rear catch fire for no reason?" ”
"General Qiyu, those details lurking in the Xiliang army that day have rebelled, and this fire is exactly what they put it!" The embarrassed soldier wiped the dirt on his face and muttered about the report.
"What?" Zhang Wei was anxious and angry, and hurriedly asked, "How about Chenggu?" Is Chenggu still in our hands? ”
The soldier said with a sad face: "Those rebels not only set fire to the camp, but also encouraged some soldiers to rebel after him, and at this time they have already captured the city!" ”
Zhang Wei's body on the horse was crooked, his eyes looked into the distance sluggishly, at this time he was already in turmoil, now that the city has been lost, the general trend has gone, he actually cried out of his voice regardless of his identity, it was really miserable and miserable.
The north was howling, the cold was biting, and the wolf smoke in the wild was blown into the air, and it was desolate.
40,000 people were actually killed by 8,000 people to the sky and the ground, and there was no way to enter the ground, and the ghost cried wolf, not only that, but also lost the city, how embarrassed he was, remembering that he was holding the talisman in front of the uncle, patting his chest and promising to defend the city, but now he fell into such a field, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel sad, raised his head and sighed, drew his sword in his hand, and prepared to kill himself.
"Woohoo, my uncle's more than 20 years of hard work have been ruined in my hands, and I still have the face to meet him, which makes the world laugh!"
"General, now is not the time to be sad, we still have more than 30,000 soldiers now, and there are only 1,000 people in the city, why don't we lead the army back and recapture the city?" When the generals saw Zhang Wei and were about to wipe his neck, they couldn't help but step forward together, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhang Wei, and snatched the sword in his hand.
Join the army and admonish: "General, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although the city is lost, the army is still there, we should return to the division of the city and recapture the city, so that it can be worthy of the repeated cultivation of the lord, and we must not give up on ourselves!" ”
Under the persuasion of the generals, Zhang Wei stopped his sadness, and after discussing with the army, he immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and lead the team back to Chenggu.
Huang Zhong did not allow Zhang Wei to succeed, and immediately led the remaining 6,000 soldiers to bite the Hanzhong army to the death, disrupting the process of their return to the army.
Zhang Wei's mind at this time was all on the city and the city, how could he still have the heart to manage these leisure things, so he let the wolf-like Xiliang army chase after him, killing and injuring many backward Hanzhong troops.
Xu Huang lifted the plate axe and slashed the horse: "The unscrupulous Hanzhong army has been hit by my family's plan to join the army to transfer the tiger from the mountain and fight against the water, why don't you get off the horse and be bound quickly, when will you wait?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Hanzhong army was in turmoil, and there was no longer the heart to fight, and they were killed by the Xiliang army to lose their armor, mop the ground with flags, and lose their grain and grass.
Zhang Wei led an army of 40,000 to pursue Huang Zhong, but when he came back, he only took 20,000, after being fought by Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, he lost his armor and fled westward, wanting to take advantage of the time when the Xiliang army had not yet killed, to recapture the important town of Chenggu in Hanzhong, just after five or six miles of road, suddenly a drum sounded, and the ambush soldiers in the jungle on both sides of the road were exhausted.
Zhao Ang carried a spear and killed him: "Haha, but I still recognize you Grandpa Zhao Ang, Zhang Wei, flee there, this is where you are buried!" ”
Zhang Wei's psychological defense line finally collapsed all at once, and suddenly the team was in chaos, looking at the Xiliang army all over the mountains and the Bingzhou army chasing after him in horror. (To be continued......)
