"Lord Taishou, the defenders of Chen Cang are here!"

The Hanzhong leader advocated that the army in Xiliang be increased to 400,000, and the city was full of golden armor.

When Zhang Dao continued to recruit troops, Xiliang assassinated Shi Xie Ai to encircle and suppress him.

"Chen Cang is only 50,000 defenders, defeat Xie Ai, we can even occupy the entire Liangzhou."

Zhang Dao occupied the two counties of Xiliang, and had great ambitions to occupy Xiliang and possess both Hanzhong and Xiliang.

"Our 400,000 righteous army, is it possible that we are not the opponent of the 50,000 defenders of Chen Cang?"

Zhang Dao faced the white-clothed Xie Ai and chose to go out of the city to meet the attack.

"Xie Ai dared to take the initiative to attack, he was most likely prepared......"

Zhang Jiao had a bad premonition.

Now the entire Han Empire has become a battlefield, and the victory or defeat of the Liangzhou battlefield is very important.

"The military advisor doesn't have to worry, no matter how Xie Ai is, there are many of us. We have recruited 400,000 troops, and if we are besieged in Shangtai, the food in Shangtai City will be exhausted in a month or two. ”

Zhang Dao sent 400,000 troops, of which the number of the Yellow Turban Army was almost 200,000.

One of the shortcomings of the explosive tactics is the lack of food and grass weapons.

Originally, the grain and grass in Shangtai City was enough for 50,000 defenders to eat for a year, but not enough for 400,000 to eat for two months.

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was also helpless, and he wanted to fight with the soldiers and horses supporting Xiliang in Guanzhong as quickly as possible.

The 400,000 peasant army went out of the city, boundless, and the black-pressed troops stretched for hundreds of miles, layer after layer.

If it weren't for the tenfold expansion of the terrain, one battlefield would simply not be able to accommodate 400,000 troops.

Among the peasant army, many of the newly recruited rebels were ragged and wielded rudimentary spears and hunting bows.

"Li Zicheng, you, Liu Zongmin, and Song Xiance, go to defend the street pavilion, defend the city at the foot of the mountain, and don't set up camp on the mountain, otherwise the water source on the mountain will be cut off by the Qin army, and our army will be defeated."

Zhang Dao sent Li Zicheng as a pioneer and guarded the street pavilion.

Zhang Dao in view of the lessons of Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, so he especially told Li Zicheng not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

The street pavilion is a place where Zhang Dao judged that Xie Ai's reinforcements must pass.

Li Zicheng led 50,000 people to defend the street pavilion to buy time for Zhang Dao's 400,000 troops to assemble.

The black tiger-striped banner of the Qin army was unfurled, and it marched towards Hanyang County without hurry.

Xie Ai, the Taishou of Liangzhou, sat in a carriage, holding a book of soldiers in his hand, swaying with the bumps of the carriage.

"Binggui is fast, I don't understand, why aren't you in a hurry? Zhang Dao has the ability to demagogue, he can quickly recruit soldiers and horses, and if he is one step later, Zhang Dao will have 500,000 soldiers and horses. 500,000 soldiers and horses, which will be seven times our strength, how to deal with it? ”

Opposite Xie Ai, there sat a leader of the Di people and a leader of the Qiang people, among which Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, asked Xie Ai.

"The soldiers and horses that Zhang Dao brought out from Hanzhong were his elite, so when he fought with the Xiliang army, he marched forward bravely and was unstoppable. The temporarily recruited peasant army, although there are many people, is just a rabble of temporary patchwork, except for consuming food and increasing momentum, it will not improve Zhang Dao's strength in any way. I have two helpers, as well as elite such as Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Huangzhong Yiconghu, and Diren Cavalry, but I can break the Zhang Dao, and then the two of them will be crowned kings, managing their own fiefs and tribes, and we will treat them equally. ”

Xie Ai took the initiative to win over the leaders of the Qiang and Di people among the Wuhu.

If you want Xiliang to have no accidents, you must make friends with the Qiang people and the Di people.

Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, and Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people, acquiesced.

Lao Qin promised to give them tribal preferential treatment, and named them the king of Di and the king of Qiang, and allocated land to their people to live in.

Lao Qin's promise was more generous than Chu Tian's, and he completely gave them real power.

However, Lao Qin's promise is like a mirror, and if he wants to gain real power, the premise is to defeat King Xia.

Fu Jian said: "My generals, there are 10,000 enemies and two people, Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang, who can charge into battle. In addition to these two Han generals, there was also the Qiang general Lu Guang, whose force was higher than that of Zhang Hao and lower than that of Deng Qiang. ”

"The three of them can be used to break Zhang Dao."

Xie Ai knew the three of them.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are known as ten thousand enemies, and the same is true of Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang.

Of course, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are more popular, so Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang are one level lower than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and were defeated by Lu Bu, but their force is almost 10,000 enemies in the eyes of ordinary soldiers.

The former Qin kingdom established by the Di tribe was a fierce one.

They lacked a think tank to command them in battle, and without Wang Meng, the commander of the former Qin Kingdom in history, Xie Ai could reluctantly replace Wang Meng to command them.

A Xiliang cavalryman came to the carriage and said to the three big men inside the carriage: "Three adults, we are already less than thirty miles away from the street pavilion. On the way, he found a scout of the Hanzhong army and engaged them. ”

"Zhang Dao really sent people to guard the street pavilion, intending to stop my troops. We fought with the street pavilion with 80,000 and 400,000. ”

Xie Ai originally had 50,000 defenders, but the Qiang and Di people sent a total of 30,000 elites, and he actually had 80,000 troops in his hands.

Zhang Dao's population is still a lot worse than that of Guanzhong.

Xie Ai's 80,000 troops, all of which were professional soldiers, Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, and Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people, sent 15,000 cavalry respectively, which were the elite of the Di and Qiang tribes.

Street Pavilion, Li Zicheng held this place, remembered Zhang Dao's advice, did not make the mistake of Ma Tan in history, and waited for Zhang Dao to arrive. Reading Temple

Xie Ai was not in a hurry to attack, he wanted to fight Zhang Dao in the street pavilion and defeat Zhang Dao in one fell swoop.

Behind Xie Ai is Guanzhong, while Zhang Dao only occupies Wudu County and Hanyang County in Liangzhou, and he may be attacked by Xu Huang, Pang De, and the three Yiren Taishou at any time behind his back.

After being defeated by Zhang Daoyu in Qishan, the three Taishou retreated to Longxi County and reorganized their soldiers and horses.

Xie Ai believed that Zhang Dao had five times his own troops, and the supply pressure was also five times that of himself, and Zhang Dao could not afford to spend it.

In addition, if Xie Ai is defeated, Zhang Dao may occupy the entire Liangzhou, which is a fatal temptation for Zhang Dao.

The forces of both sides were assembled in Jieting, and Xie Ai simply gave up a plain to the east of Jieting, so that Zhang Dao could arrange his troops in formation, and then stationed in the east to confront Jieting.

Xie Ai did not move, and Zhang Dao did not dare to attack Longxi County, and he still had to bear five times the consumption of grain and grass.

Zhang Dao's 400,000 troops were assembled in the street pavilion one after another.

"Xie Ai's troops are a little more than I imagined, 70,000, or 80,000? It seems that the Di and Qiang people are on Lao Qin's side, and Lao Qin has already given them favorable conditions. ”

Zhang Dao led a group of cavalry to a hill in Jieting to observe Xie Ai's military situation.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses led by Xie Ai are all elite. Subordinates can use the skill of changing the color of the wind and clouds, and they may be able to win by changing the day. ”

Zhang Jiao was worried.

Xie Ai's strength seems to be only one-fifth of Zhang Dao's, but half of Zhang Dao's troops are the newly recruited peasant rebel army, and the combat effectiveness is worrying, and the real main force is still the 200,000 peasant army brought out by Zhang Dao from Guanzhong.

Xie Ai there, there is also a team of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"No, the price to be paid for changing the time is too great......"

Zhang Dao didn't let Zhang Jiao use his abilities.

In "Lord", every ability to defy the sky has to pay a price, just like Alexander, he seems to be afraid of something so far, and the characteristic "King's Army" has only been launched once.

And Zhang Jiao's change of color has only been launched twice in the past ten years.

Only a few people know what the price to pay for these special abilities.

"We can just use crowd tactics."

The 400,000 peasant army began to be arranged, as far as the eye could see, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were densely packed peasant armies.

If Zhang Dao is allowed to occupy Liangzhou, maybe he will really explode a million army in Xiliang.

"80,000 versus 400,000, how many chances have there been throughout the ages? Win or lose, it doesn't matter anymore. ”

Xie Ai was also observing the peasant army.

Since the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, it has been rare to see such a large peasant rebel army.

The general assassin Shi and Taishou, seeing the huge force of the 400,000 peasant army, may have turned around and fled.

Xie Ai also began to arrange his troops.

The two armies face each other, and a big war may break out at any time.

"Zhang Oy, Deng Qiang, the two of you, after getting my order, lead the Di cavalry into battle."

Xie Ai summoned Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang, who were known as 10,000 enemies in the two Jin Dynasty and Sixteen Kingdoms, among which Deng Qiang's force was higher than Zhang Hao.

These two generals were fierce men, and in each major battle, they rushed into the enemy formation several times and assassinated hundreds of people.

Xu Huang and Pang De were also defeated by them.

Only when Lu Bu arrived, captured Zhang Oyster alive, and rebelled within the Di tribe, did he surrender.

Deng Qiang said: "Unless Lord Assassin Shi is crowned as General Pingxi after this battle, Deng Qiang is willing to attack the enemy regardless of life and death." ”

"General Pingxi, this official is too ......"

Xie Ai didn't expect Deng Qiang to be unruly and sit on the ground and start the price.

Ten thousand enemies seem to have a bit of a temper.

Deng Qiang couldn't help but be furious and sat on the ground: "A soldier, what he has done is just fame, is it possible that I am not afraid of life and death, charge into battle for the King of Qin, break 400,000 troops, and still can't get the post of general Pingxi?" If Lord Thorn doesn't agree, then Hugh will make me fight! ”

Deng Qiang directly asked for an official position, which embarrassed Fu Jian, the leader of the Di people, and he was also Deng Qiang's boss.

"Okay, I will go to Chang'an City and make you General Pingxi. If the court does not agree, then I will resign from the post of Liangzhou Assassin. ”

Xie Ai also had a headache in the face of such a fierce general, so he had to agree.

Fortunately, Deng Qiang only asked for General Pingxi, otherwise if he asked for the throne, Xie Ai would really not be able to mobilize Deng Qiang.

Deng Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please rest assured, Lord Assassin Shi, I will definitely defeat the opposing army!" ”

Deng Qiang not only asked for an official position, but also asked people to move the wine jar to the camp before moving it, and the deputy general Xu Cheng, and another 10,000-strong enemy Zhang Oyster, drank together, and finally smashed the wine jar, full of pride: "Although there are tens of millions of people, we will go!" ”

Three fierce generals jumped on horseback with guns, led the Diren cavalry, and attacked the 400,000 army on the opposite side!

"What a fierce general."

Although Xie Ai was surprised by the madness of these people, he had to admire their bravery.
