Chapter 104: Xichuan Martyrs
Seeing that the collapse of the Chinese army's array was imminent, Zhang Ren hurriedly led the 5,000 cavalry who had planned to cut off the retreat of Lu Bu's army to rush down from the hillside and join the battle group. Their addition paused the momentum of Lu Bu's iron cavalry, but it was only a slight moment! Lu Bu's army roared and fought, and Zhang Ren's 5,000 cavalry were killed so that people were on their backs and trembled! Blood and water were flying, one by one the knights fell off their horses, Zhang Ren's cavalry soldiers clearly felt with their own blood and lives, the terrible power of the hussars across the grassland, like wolves and tigers, unstoppable! In just an instant, the iron cavalry led by Lu Bu crushed Zhang Ren's cavalry!
Rolling iron hooves, rolling frightened routs, roars, horses' hooves, like the sky is falling! The Chinese army has completely collapsed! Zhang Renjun threw away his armor and ran for his life!
Seeing that the Chinese army had collapsed, Liu Zhang's army, which was attacking the infantry of Long Tao's army, was in a panic and lost all his fighting spirit, so he hurriedly gave up the battle and fled for his life to the north.
Zhang Lang rode his horse up the hill, raised Fang Tian's halberd, and the whole army of 80,000 Long Tao attacked and killed the fleeing Liu Zhang's army! Liu Zhangjun had no fighting spirit, he was flustered and only wanted to flee for his life, and Liu Zhang's soldiers were constantly cut down, and the screams came and went!
……
As the sun sets, the breeze blows, the heavy smell of blood is disgusting, on the grass, in the hills, the corpses are all over the field, and the war horses linger beside the corpse of their master, and from time to time they let out a mournful roar. Liu Zhang's banner fell to the ground, covered in blood and tattered.
Zhang Ren fled to Xichong City in a panic with more than 70,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers, and the soldiers were all wolf-inflicted. Zhang Ren raised his head and called the door: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
However, Lu Bu's banner was suddenly erected on the head of the city, and Zhang Ren was stunned.
Yang Ren Yang Ang and thousands of strong crossbowmen appeared behind the women's wall, and Yang Ren said loudly: "We have already demoted the general!" Zhang Ren, you have no way out, get off the horse and surrender! ”
Zhang Ren was furious, and pointed at Yang Ren with a horsewhip to beat the horse: "The villain of three and four at dusk!" ”
Yang Ren sneered: "I am a person who knows the times and is a junjie!" With a wave of his hand, "Shoot the arrow!" ”
When the arrows rained down on the city wall, Liu Zhang's army was shot to the ground. Immediately, the city gate opened, and Xu Huang, a general under Zhang Lang, led tens of thousands of soldiers of the Leopard Tao Army and the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army who surrendered out of the city!
Liu Zhang's army hurriedly met the battle, and the two sides fought a big battle under the city, and Liu Zhang's army was defeated, leaving thousands of corpses and fleeing west. Xu Huang led the army to chase and kill, chased straight to the bottom of the lofty mountains, and captured more than 30,000 people!
Zhang Ren fled into the mountains with 30,000 defeated troops.
Half a day later, Long Tao's army led by Zhang Lang arrived at the foot of the mountain to join Xu Huang's troops.
"General!" Xu Huang came out of the tent to greet Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang led the generals straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, walked to the top and turned around, and glanced at Xu Huang, "Gongming, what's the situation on the mountain?" ”
"Back to the general, Zhang Ren only retreated into the mountains with 30,000 remnants of the defeated army, and without food, he couldn't last three days at all!"
Zhang Lang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm going to meet this Xichuan general Zhang Ren!" ”
Zhang Ren sat under a big camphor tree, looking at the defeated soldiers in his eyes, and his ears were full of sighs and cries and the wails of the wounded soldiers. I wanted to draw my sword and kill myself, but I felt that I shouldn't just leave these soldiers alone. With a long sigh, look up at the sky, oh my God! Could it be that God will kill me Zhang Ren, and I will die in Xichuan?
General Deng Xian rushed over in a hurry, and said urgently: "General Zhang, then Lu Bu came to the foot of the mountain to call the general to speak!" ”
Zhang Ren snorted coldly, "He must have come to persuade him to surrender!" ”
A moment later, Zhang Ren came down from the mountain with more than a dozen of his relatives on horseback, and confronted Zhang Lang's dozen horsemen across a shallow stream.
"Lu Bu, if you want to persuade you to surrender, don't speak!" Zhang Ren shouted resolutely.
Zhang Lang smiled, "General Zhang, do you think Liu Zhang can keep this side safe?" ”
Zhang Ren sighed, "The only regret in my life is that the lord is mediocre and incompetent, I, Zhang Renjin, can't make meritorious contributions, and I can't protect the land and the people when I retreat!" He glanced at Zhang Lang and said resolutely: "However, if the husband is in the world, how can he not be loyal!" I was born as Liu Zhang's minister, and my death was Liu Zhang's return! This is a lesson to be learned! ”
Zhang Lang couldn't help but be moved, "For Liu Zhang, is it worth it?" ”
Zhang Ren laughed, "There are no two martyrs!" I, Zhang Ren, will never betray Liu Zhang! Then he urged the war horse to cross the river and kill Zhang Lang, roaring loudly, and there was no return. rushed in front of Zhang Lang and stabbed Zhang Lang in the chest with a gun, Zhang Lang easily avoided it and grabbed the opponent's gun.
Zhang Ren fought hard to recapture, but the spear was as if it had been cast from steel and iron, and it didn't move! Immediately abandon the spear, draw the sword, and slash like crazy!
Zhang Lang held his sword with a horizontal heavenly halberd, and then his left hand reached out, grabbed Zhang Ren's shirt and lifted him up, couldn't bear to get off the killer, and threw him to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Ren's soldiers hurriedly turned their horses around and fled back to the mountain.
Zhang Ren glared at Zhang Lang angrily, "If you want to kill, kill it!" ”
Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "Why are you so troubled?" I believe that you are a person with great ambitions, so are you willing to leave your life here? Also, what will happen to your family after you die? ”
Zhang Ren said lightly: "Although there are regrets in this life, there is no guilt, it is enough!" As for the family," he glanced at Zhang Lang, "The great general is a hero, and I believe that he will not be angry with my family!" ”
Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, admiring, annoyed, and a little regretful. "In that case, then I will fulfill you!" With a wave of his hand, "Let him go!" ”
The hussars withdrew their spears and retreated. Zhang Ren stood up, walked a few steps, faced the direction of Chengdu, knelt down, and shouted: "Lord, I, Zhang Ren, am loyal!" "Suddenly slashed his sword and killed himself.
Zhang Lang closed his eyes, turned around and glanced at Zhang Ren's corpse, "Carry it down and bury it with the courtesy of the princes!" In addition, the order is to go down and treat Zhang Ren's family well! ”
The hussars next to him hugged their fists and promised, and then went over to carry Zhang Ren's body on horseback, and several hussars returned to the camp with Zhang Ren's body.
Zhang Lang felt as if there was something on his face, subconsciously touched it, and when he saw it, it turned out to be tears, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Ren died, and the 30,000 soldiers on the mountain were leaderless, and they surrendered to Zhang Lang on the same day.
Zhang Lang still named Deng Xian and others, who had surrendered, as generals, and the generals settled down their originally apprehensive hearts.
Just when Zhang Lang was discussing with everyone, the scout suddenly hurriedly reported that Bajun Taishou Yan Yan led the army to attack Jiameng Pass, and Jiameng Pass was in danger.
The generals were furious, and Pang De said angrily: "Zhang Ren's hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out!" He Yan Yan actually dared to toss! He hugged his fist towards Zhang Lang, "My lord, the last general is willing to ride three thousand horses to break Yan Yan!" Xu Huang and the generals who came over also came out to ask for battle.
Zhang Lang smiled and glanced at Pang De, "Ling Ming, I'll give you 10,000 sudden horses, cross the Dianjiang River in the east, and go straight to Hanchang." "Hanchang, now Bazhong, is located in the center of Ba County and is the seat of Ba County.
"No."
"Gongming is sitting in Xichong, and I will personally lead 30,000 steps to ride to meet this Yan Yan."
