Chapter 473 Retreat to Zheng County

This trick of rotating knife was taught to Xu Rong by Lu Bu.

As the two of them, who also surrendered to Dong Zhuo's old department, their relationship has always been good. When the two legion commanders competed together, Lu Bu taught this trick, originally intended to be used as a killing move for his self-defense. But now, at the last moment, I really can't do without it.

And this type of rotating knife method is indeed unexpected by Zhang Xiu.

Xu Rong and Zhang Fei had never used it in a fierce battle just now, but now that he highlighted his move, he couldn't prevent it, and saw that the knife slashed at Zhang Bao, who was unprepared on the side.

"Not good." After Zhang Xiu screamed, he hurriedly drew his gun and stabbed.

The body of the gun pierced straight at Xu Rong's body, and he wanted to use such a coercive method to force Xu Rong to come back, so that Zhang Bao would be safe.

It's just that Zhang Xiu still underestimated Xu Rong's determination, knowing that he was surrounded by a heavy army and would die, he would already ignore life and death, so where would he take care of his own danger, what he wanted to do was how to kill one person and find someone to back his back.

Yes, in the face of this fatal shot, Xu Rong did not dodge or dodge, and the blade of the knife still rotated and slashed towards Zhang Bao's body.

In the face of this desperate blow, Zhang Bao's face changed greatly, and while his body was back, he also raised the spear in his hand, wanting to resist.

"When... While! ”

With two heavy bangs in succession, the blade of the machete finally stopped an inch in front of Zhang Bao.

This first sound was the spear in Zhang Bao's own hand blocking the blade, but this block knocked his spear body to the ground.

When he watched the blade of the knife fall and his life was on the line, another spear flew from a distance, hitting the blade of the knife and unloading the huge force. This spear was Zhang Fei throwing the snake spear from afar, in order to save his son, he didn't even need a weapon for the time being.

It was this block that slowed down the castration of the machete. And at this moment, Zhang Xiu's shot also hit Xu Rong's predecessor, and only one shot went from front to back, piercing his body through a penetrating one.

The body was penetrated, and Xu Rong's strength was completely exhausted at this moment, but the unwilling color in his eyes came out.

Even when he died, Xu Rong's eyes were still full of bitterness, and he didn't find a cushion before he died.

It's just that even though his body was pierced by the spear, the last will still made Xu Rong's machete fall, which was the only trace of his consciousness left. And that knife also fell towards Zhang Bao's body.

is a good Zhang Bao, and his reaction is much faster than that of the second brother. When I looked at the distance of the blade by an inch, I was shocked into a cold sweat. Seeing that Xu Rong was killed by Zhang Xiu, he couldn't help but want to breathe a sigh of relief, but the blade fell again, and when he was reflexive, he slid off the war horse sideways, and his life was saved, but the good horse was indeed cut under this knife, and he fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Xu Rong injured Zhang Shao and killed Zhang Bao's mount with one to four, and he had to say that this result was very brilliant.

It's just destined that he can't see this scene, and at this time he has already lost his life and his eyes are blank. After only two breaths, he fell to the ground with a hundred birds in his head towards the phoenix spear.

Xu Rong is dead!

As soon as Xu Rong died, the soldiers around him couldn't help but shout out with sadness in their hearts when they saw this scene. Later, when Zhang Shao was injured, Zhang Bao was shocked on the horse, and when Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu had no weapons in their hands, they rushed up at the risk of death and snatched the body of Xu Rong, who fell to the ground and failed to close his eyes when he died.

The actions of the soldiers woke up Zhang Fei and the others, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and pursue, you can't let them snatch the corpse." ”

Groups of Liu Bei soldiers rushed up when they heard the military order. Those Xu Rong's own soldiers, who were already small in number, were soon unable to resist.

"No, you won't be able to take away the general's body at all." A personal soldier who was carrying Xu Rong's corpse said with tears on his face, then gritted his teeth, and there was a decisive look in his eyes, and he actually put the corpse on the ground, but only picked up the machete that he was holding tightly when he was dying.

The soldiers knew that they couldn't snatch the corpse, and they could still humiliate the body of the dead general by carrying it on their backs, so he gave up everything and just ran away with the machete that Xu Rong didn't leave with him.

Xu Rong was killed, Zhang Fei and the others picked up their respective weapons and began to clean up the battlefield. It's just that in less than half an hour, the military advisor Zhuge Liang arrived here with an army of 70,000 in the rear.

After learning that although Yan Liang was rescued, Xu Rong was killed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This ordered the army to take advantage of the victory and quickly capture the county town of Gaulu.

The county seat of Gaulu is just a small town in its own right. Now that Xu Rong has been killed and Yan Liang is injured and unconscious, it is the time when the morale of the Sixth Army has plummeted, and the siege of the city at this moment can be won in one fell swoop.

Zhang Fei and the others immediately worked hard and led the army towards Gaolu City. It's just that the big battle they prepared for never broke out, and what is unexpected is that Li Ru actually commanded the soldiers of the Sixth Army to retreat first.

Zhuge Liang, who rushed behind him to learn the news, gave an order, and the army continued to advance, striving to take Xinfeng and block the retreat of the four legions that were attacking Yin City.

chased and fled, and it was launched in the land of Gaolu County and Xinfeng City.

According to the order of the military advisor, Zhang Fei chased away without stopping for a moment, and even the smoke and dust of the withdrawal of the Sixth Army could be seen from a distance, which made Liu Bei's army excited.

Just when Zhang Fei wanted to order a rush to Xinfeng City and capture the city, another army appeared opposite him. Looking from afar, I saw that the army was neat and full of armor. In front of the formation, there was a general wearing a black battle robe and holding a nine-curved gun.

"I am Zhang He, the commander of the fourth army under the seat of the general, I have been waiting for the third general here for a long time, can I come to fight?" There was still some distance before the general's shout was heard.

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, that is a person with extraordinary martial arts. If it was peacetime, it would have been possible to fight, but now the army has been catching up, and it is also tired, and at this moment in the war, there is not much certainty of victory.

"Someone, inform the military advisor behind you of the matter, please order." Zhang Fei didn't rush forward recklessly this time, and he didn't know if there were other armies around Zhang He, if so, he would rush over so presumptuously, I am afraid that there would be disadvantages.

Zhuge Liang, who was hurrying behind him, heard the battle report ahead, and when he heard that Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, had appeared here, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "What a frustrated gentleman, he has already prepared, even so, it is difficult to eat the Fourth and Sixth Army Corps this time." ”

Zhuge was only cautious all his life, and he was unwilling to take risks. immediately ordered Zhang Fei to retreat to rest in place, and after he arrived, he was making a big plan.

Zhang Fei did not charge, but did not retreat either, but rested on the spot. After Zhang He saw it, he just sneered a few times, then waved his hand and led the army away.

Speaking of which, Zhang He's appearance here is just a prepared plan for frustration. After receiving the battle report sent by Li Ru, the Fourth Army attacked Yin City. What is unexpected is that as soon as the attack was completed, Dong Zhuo's army seemed to be guarding Xinfeng City, but only five hundred soldiers were left in the city, and the other main forces retreated to Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is a tall city wall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if he was frustrated, he did not have the confidence that he could lead an army of 150,000 to capture Chang'an City, which was guarded by 100,000 people. For this reason, he did not attack the city, but led the army to retreat back to the Yin City, which was a defensible and offensive move.

It was this move that did not make the Fourth Army not rush forward, and when he knew that the Sixth Army had an unfavorable move, he had already returned to Xinfeng City with 50,000 soldiers, so he ordered Zhang He to bring 30,000 troops to meet it. At the same time, he also ordered the 100,000 main forces of the senior cadres and deputy commanders who were guarding the Yin City to retreat.

Zhang He appeared on the road of Zhang Fei's pursuit. Just because he only brought 30,000 people, he couldn't fight hard with the hundreds of thousands of people led by Zhang Fei, so he just played a deterrent role and then retreated.

After retreating to Xinfeng City, Zhang Hegang met with the two military divisions of Fu Zhu and Li Ru, and received the order for the army to retreat.

Xinfeng City, northwest is Liu Bei's army of more than 100,000 troops from Gaolu City, and to the west is Dong Zhuojun's 100,000 horses. At this time, if it is a dead defense, I am afraid that there will be a disadvantage. For the sake of safety, Fu Zhi suggested that the troops should be sent to Zheng County, at least there would be no need to face the enemy on both sides.

This time, Li Ruzai did not refute the suggestion put forward by Fu Zhu. Under his adventurous thoughts, the corps commander Xu Rong was killed in battle, and the deputy corps commander Yan Liang was injured and fell into a coma, and he was already a guilty man.

In this way, the Fourth Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps withdrew from Xinfeng City in turn and returned to Zheng County, the original place. After Zhuge Liang learned the news, he also led his army to join Dong Zhuojun and Wang Fang's troops who came from Chang'an in Xinfeng City.

At this point, the war is over. The result ended in the victory of the Liu and Dong armies.

...... ......

And the state of Jinyang City.

After years of construction and expansion, when it comes to prosperity at this moment, I am afraid that even Luoyang City is not much more worried than it was twenty years ago.

The prosperity of the city has naturally led to the development of the entire real estate industry. In the entire Jinyang City, many places can be described as an inch of land. And a mansion on Nanzhi Street occupies a huge area, and the courtyard of the four entrances is enough to show the difference in the identity of the owner. In particular, there are big gold and Xu Mansion characters hanging on the door of the mansion, which makes people know the strength of the owner's background.

According to the regulations, unless it is the permission of the great general Zhang Chao, otherwise, no matter how much money you have, even if you can buy such a large mansion, you will not be able to make the high width of the master's surname painted gold, and only those with great merit can do it.

In fact, this Xu Mansion is indeed not simple, it is the mansion of Xu Rong, the commander of the Sixth Legion.
