Chapter 337: Sneak Attack on the City

The battle between LΓΌ and Zhang, which attracted the attention of the world, had several fierce collisions in June and July, and the results greatly surprised everyone, they all knew that Zhang Lu would be defeated, but they did not expect Zhang Lu to be defeated so quickly and so miserably.

On the battlefield of Yangping Pass, Gan Ning and Fa Zheng defeated Zhang Lu's eldest son Zhang Fu, and burned and wounded 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Han Chinese army in the area of the Long Snake Valley with inferior forces, and the world was shaken; On the battlefield of the Slope Valley, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang defeated the Hanzhong generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren, and used the time to flood the three armies, so that 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers and horses were buried in the belly of the fish, and nine out of ten remained; In the battle of Baocheng, Wei Yan captured Baocheng, the backbone city of Hanzhong, at a small price, cut off Zhang Lu's grain and trade routes in Hanzhong, and strangled Zhang Lu's life to the death.

But Zhang Lu is not without gains, on the battlefield of Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lu and the generals under the account of Jiameng Pass as the center, and Ganning main force launched several battles, Jiameng Pass terrain is complex, both armies can not deploy most of the troops, each other has won and lost, originally Ganning, Fazheng two departments have carried out a very dangerous encirclement of the Hanzhong army, but suddenly retreated inexplicably, as a result, the Xiliang army had to withdraw from Jiameng Pass, the Hanzhong army greatly took a step forward.

Although there were several generals such as Zhang Fu, Yang Song, and Yang Ren died, but the strength advantage of the Hanzhong army was not reduced at all, after holding the Jiameng Pass, Zhang Lubing was divided into three ways, respectively, from the Jiameng Pass, Wuxiang, Chenggu three directions of the vigorous march, want to recover the lost ground, counterattack a blow, with Mount Tai overwhelmingly swept towards the Xiliang army, the Xiliang army can only rely on the terrain of Hanzhong to harass the various passes, and there is no decent war.

Zhang Lu understood that if one of the three passes of Jiameng, Wuxiang, and Chenggu was lost, the battle between him and Lu Bu in Hanzhong could be declared over, so the people stationed in these three passes were his most proud generals, except for Jiameng, who defended himself. Wuxiang has Yanpu, and the city has Zhang Wei and Li Yu, and the two of them can report that Wuxiang City is foolproof, as long as they survive the autumn, the Xiliang army will naturally retreat if there is no food.

Of course, this is just Zhang Lu's own speculation. The two armies are fighting each other, and there is a lot of accidents, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, and now this situation, even if it is only deduced on the map, can feel a strong pressure, at least for most people.

Lu Bu pinched his chin and gently pushed a terracotta warrior to a certain point on the map, his head tilted slightly. Moved a few more points to the right, and at this time there were still a dozen terracotta warriors left on the map, divided into red and black and distributed on this large map of animal skins, intertwined with each other's canine teeth.

Jia Xu, who was opposite Lu Bu, pondered for a moment, and picked up another terracotta warrior with his fingers, where there was a small mud city, which looked unexpectedly lonely under the threat of the terracotta warriors.

"Sir. Yours is it! ”

Lu Bu laughed and arrested the mud city. Throwing it into a basket next to him, he picked up a glass of warm wine, chewed slowly on a piece of meaty deer breast, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and patted the map: "Don't play, don't play." I've shown so many flaws, sir, you're still sticky and tangled, refusing to confront head-on, it's too boring. ”

"Ji Chang, come on!" Lu Bu slowly got up. Turning his head and asking Ma Yan, who had been watching the battle just now.

Ma Jian hurriedly waved his hand: "Where am I Mr.'s opponent, I still don't play!" ”

"I'm old, my qi and blood are decaying, and I have long lost that momentum, those of you, all of you are high-spirited, but you are much more positive than Xiao Lao, you can't compare!" Jia Xu shook the big fur on his body, as if he was exhausted.

Ma Tan consciously folded the map, put the terracotta warriors into the box, and then cleaned up the sundries on the table in an orderly manner, and then the three of them sat on the ground, quietly discussing the battle situation at this time.

"Ji Chang, I didn't let you participate in the battle of Hanzhong this time, are you very disappointed in your heart!" Jia Xu didn't raise his eyelids.

"Mr. said with a smile, Ji Chang's talent is indeed not as good as Xiaozhi and Yuanzhi, and following Mr. and learning more military strategy, this is something that can be met but not sought!" Ma Tan grinned: "If the lord and Mr. want to use Ji Chang, they will naturally use it, and they are not in a hurry!" ”

"Well, it's good that you know, they are all older than you, and they are much more skilled in grasping the battle situation than you, and the jade is not a weapon, I hope you can understand!" Jia Xu praised happily.

Lu Bu poured a glass of wine for the master and asked, "Sir, how long do you think this battle of Hanzhong will end?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said it very sincerely.

Jia Xu's beard trembled slightly, but he didn't seem to hear it: "There is a famous man in Hanzhong Yan Pu in Wuxiang, and whether Wen Chang wins the fight or not has to say another matter; In the other two ways, there are eight points to win and two points to draw! ”

The praying mantis and the spider stared at each other for a while, the praying mantis put down the sickle in his hand stupidly, and the spider was still sitting firmly in the spider's web, as if it was still sleeping, and finally broke the embarrassment was Cheng Lian who came in a hurry, he was holding a thick case in his hand, these were urgent reports from the four counties and Hanzhong, and Lu Bu needed to look at it every day.

The top few documents are bordered with vermilion, this is all the reports related to Zhang Lujun, which belongs to the important category, Lu Bu picked up one, first glanced at it casually, couldn't help but "um", looked at it a few times, and then handed it to Jia Xu: "Sir, take a look!" ”

Jia Xu picked it up and looked at it, and was also slightly moved, the document said that the heavy rain continued, the grain and grass could not be helped, Huang Zhong was arbitrary, and Zhao Ang and Xu Shu were at odds, and the two led the troops back to Chencang alone.

"It's really intriguing!" Jia Xu muttered to himself, Huang Zhong is a person, well-known in the Bingzhou army, he is a general who loves soldiers like a son, how can he deduct the soldier's salary; Xu Shu will not be the kind of person who abandons the overall situation; Although Zhao Ang's ability is average, he is also a person who knows a lot of loyalty, so this document is very strange, but it will not be faked, after all, every prison soldier who remains in the army will not write false information, and Xu Huang is not a person without a purpose.

Ma Yan also looked at the document, his dark eyes turned a few times, and he glanced at the document again: "Could it be a plan that Yuan Zhi came up with, General Xu Huang didn't explain, I'm afraid he wants to give the lord a big gift!" ”

Lu Bu yawned and said in a daze: "We fought with Zhang Lu this time, it was too hasty, and we didn't even know the ability of each other's generals, and it is not surprising that Yuan Zhi was able to grasp this characteristic!" ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was already sleepy, Jia Xu and Ma Tan got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, Jia Xu couldn't help but look at the document twice, it seemed that the battle of Hanzhong was about to end.

"Sir, we may arrive in Baocheng tomorrow, it's time for me to move my muscles, I haven't ridden a red rabbit horse recently, and it almost doesn't know me!" Lu Bu leaned on the tiger skin blanket, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.

Jia Xu shook his head helplessly: "If the lord wants to go, go there, although we don't advocate that you go to the battlefield in person, but the lord has made up his mind, and Xu can't refuse it!" ”

Since leaving Hanyang, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others have advised Lu Bu not to fight easily, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are many people who release cold arrows, and Lu Bu always rushes to the front whenever he fights, although he can retreat with his whole body, but there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, and now Lu Bu is no longer the general who has no fixed place before, but a prince who sits on a large territory, and his death affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Lu Bu also gladly accepted their kindness, but he couldn't hear the sound of war drums, the sound of horses' hooves, or the shouts of soldiers, so he felt uncomfortable, as if tens of thousands of ants were biting him, it was painful, itchy, and numb.

When Lu Bu heard Jia Xu's answer, he smiled slightly, and then lay his whole body on the tiger skin blanket in a big character and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and in less than half a ring, he could hear his slight snoring.

Jia Xu beckoned to Ma Yan, and the two gently withdrew from Lu Bu's Chinese army tent

However, it is said that after Zhao Ang quarreled with Huang Zhong that day, he and Xu Shu led the army to leave the Bingzhou camp, crossed the Han River, and marched all the way north rapidly, and came to the depths of a hidden valley located in the lower reaches of the Kei Valley.

"Now start to organize the army, the sword and axe men will guard the valley mouth, and give me those fine works hidden in the army!"

After assembling the team, Zhao Ang glanced at the 20,000 troops under his command with a piercing gaze, and began to instruct the middle-level generals to gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and count the detailed works that had been mixed into the army. And the sharp-wielding sharpeners quickly took up effective positions, quickly enclosing the entire valley in an impenetrable and airtight manner.

This procedure did not last long, it took about two hours, and after careful identification between the general and the lieutenant, the soldiers who had been counted quickly retreated to both sides of the valley, leaving behind those "comrades" who did not know each other.

As time passed, there were only five people left in the middle of the valley who were not taken away by the generals, and those five people looked at the wolf-like Xiliang army on both sides of the valley, and suddenly their legs trembled like chaff in fright.

Zhao Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed at those fine works with his finger and ordered: "Kill them, no one will be left!" ”

With Zhao Ang's order, those school knife men who were strictly guarding immediately rushed forward, swarming up, and slashed the five fine workers to the ground with random knives, chopping them into meat paste in an instant, making them instantly turn into five balls of flesh and blood imitation of flesh foam.

After the soldiers cleaned up the human body scraps, Zhao Ang's voice began to echo in the valley, and he said: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to my orders and follow me to kill back to Chenggu!" ”

As soon as Zhao Ang's words fell, the soldiers below immediately discussed, didn't they want to go back to Chen Cang? Why do you suddenly want to kill back to Chenggu.

Facing the doubts of the soldiers, Xu Shu walked to Zhao Ang's side, raised his arm and said: "This is just a play between us and General Huang Lao, the purpose is to deceive the defenders of the city, General Huang Lao not only did not deduct your food, but doubled the number of soldiers in the state, at this moment he has prepared a dinner in the big camp, waiting for us to return triumphantly, now the three armies listen to my orders, cut down trees and tie them into rafts, we cross the Han River from the upstream, sneak attack the city, and establish meritorious deeds!"
