Chapter 55: Surround Zhuge Liang

The arrival of Li Hui's army announced the complete loss of Hanzhong. Although the Shu army was numerous, it was not Li Huijun's opponent. Gao Shun's trapping camp, Ma Zhong's 'shooting' sound camp, Zhang Xiu's flying leopard camp, plus Chen Zhi's flying tiger camp. Four battalions worked together. Soon stabilized his position and drove the Shu army out of Hanzhong City.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan: "Young Chang, give the order to retreat!" Reinforcements have arrived! It will be futile to continue fighting, and it will also damage our soldiers and horses! ”

"But, Prime Minister, where are we going?" Ma Liang looked left and right.

Zhuge Liang said: "Jia Meng is in the hands of Li Hui, Yangping is in the hands of Sima Yi, and now he can only go to Baishui Pass!" ”

Although Hanzhong was won in this battle, no one was happy. Although Chen Dao's Flying Tiger Battalion held Hanzhong for only one day, it suffered more than half of the casualties, three generals, one adjutant general was killed in battle, and 43 other captains, captains, and captains were killed in battle, and the loss of soldiers reached more than 7,000. It can be said that it has been disabled.

Looking at the corpses, the faces that were alive yesterday are lying quietly today. Almost all of the corpses were covered with wounds, one by one, telling of their past glory and past bravery.

Chen Zhi stroked a soldier's cheek, gently brushing the dust off his face and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Cover with a white sheet. Thousands of people, what a big piece under the city walls. Including Li Hui, the entire city of Hanzhong was silent, and everyone was silent in the pain of losing their brother.

"Brothers! These brothers are heroes, and no matter where they come from, they are the pride of our army! Li Hui said loudly: "Everyone is sad to lose their brothers, but we can't just be sad, you say, what should we do to comfort these brothers who are fighting to the death?" ”

"Revenge! Avenge! The crowd shouted loudly, and the sound shook the whole Hanzhong. The sky above Hanzhong was completely ignited by this anger.

"Good! You can say that again! Li Hui let out a louder voice: "Now I order, Zhang Xiu's Flying Leopard Battalion immediately rush to Baishui Pass, and be sure to guard Baishui Pass for me before Zhuge Liang arrives!" Zhang Xiu turned around and left.

"Ma Zhong! Take your 'shooting' battalion to catch up with Zhuge Liang and entangle him! He must not be allowed to leave Hanzhong comfortably! ”

"Understood! Brothers, go! Ma Zhong waved his hand, and the men and horses of the 'shooting' camp left the city.

"Order Jiang Wei to guard Jiameng Pass, and Zhuge Liang must not be let go back!" Li Hui looked at it reflexively: "Deng Ai, leave you 20,000 soldiers and horses, you may hold Hanzhong?" ”

"Yes!" Deng Ai replied very simply, without the previous stuttering at all.

Li Hui nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" The other brothers come with me and avenge the dead brothers! ”

Hanzhong City has just finished fighting, and it has once again entered the atmosphere of the Taoist war. Li Hui gave an order, the war horses in the city neighed, and the strong sound of horses' hooves knocked on the stone road, shaking the people of Hanzhong with pain in their chests and mouths. He doesn't know what this Li Huijun is going to do? Will it be because of the ferocity of Zhuge Liang's attack that he will burn his anger on the heads of the people, they have no bottom in their hearts.

Zhuge Liang left Hanzhong and rushed to Baishui for a moment. The soldiers had just experienced a big battle and were already exhausted, not to mention that they had not found Li Hui's men and horses pursuing. He was very disgusted by Zhuge Liang's order to march quickly. One by one, they sighed and did not want to continue walking.

"Prime Minister, Li Hui's men and horses are not chasing, are we ......" Ma Liang asked tentatively.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan: "Why were we beaten so badly by Li Hui?" It's all because you and I have despised Li Hui, Li Hui has been in the army for more than 30 years when he was a teenager, even if he is a fool, he understands a truth, if we destroy tens of thousands of horses in Hanzhong, the country will inevitably have a little less security, and I believe he will definitely chase him! ”

"What then? Is there any arrangement for people to break off? Ma Liang asked.

"Hehe......" Zhuge Liang smiled: "Since I have expected Li Hui to chase after me, I naturally have made arrangements, and I am waiting to see a good show of turning defeat into victory!" ”

There are two roads from Hanzhong to Baishui. One is rugged and the other is relatively flat. Zhuge Liang deliberately took that rugged road, in order to lure Li Hui's army to chase after him. On this road, there are high mountains and cliffs everywhere, dense forests, and strange rocky river valleys.

Wang Ping led 10,000 horses on the order of the prime minister and ambushed in a place called Guillotine Cliff. The mountains are not very high, and the terrain is not too dangerous. However, there is a miracle that the river that flows through this place does not go down the mountain, but flows above the mountaintop. There are all kinds of rocks in the river. Wang Ping had already ordered people to pick up some large stones and pile them on the mountain, as soon as Li Hui's pursuers came, they would push all the stones down, and at least half of them could be stoned to death.

Zhang Xiu came to the fork in the road, and the scout reported that there were traces of a large army passing on the path. Zhang Xiu didn't think about it, turned the horse's head and ran away on the road. The order he received was not to hunt down Zhuge Liang, but to occupy Baishui Pass. Since Zhuge Liang chose the small road, Zhang Xiu must choose the big road, and he must reach Baishui Pass as far as possible in front of Zhuge Liang.

Ma Zhong is just the opposite of Zhang Xiu, he will chase Zhuge Liang wherever he goes, because Li Hui asked him to drag Zhuge Liang, he had to bite Zhuge Liang's tail tightly and never let go.

Zhuge Liang walked while waiting for news from Wang Ping. He was sure that Li Hui would chase after him, but he didn't know who to send to chase him. Li Hui's generals, Zhao Yun is steady, Zhang Xiu and Wen Chou are a little reckless, Chen Dao's soldiers have been disabled, Ma Zhong is shrewd, and he is the most suitable for pursuit. If Ma Zhong comes, Wang Ping may not be able to bargain, but if it is Zhang Xiu or Wen Chou, Li Huijun will definitely be defeated.

"Gotcha! Get! Get! The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near. A soldier of the Shu army galloped wildly and shouted: "Prime Minister! Oh no, no! ......Before he could say the next words, he kept bowing and arrows, flying from farther away, and just 'shot' into the soldier's back. The Shu cavalryman opened his mouth wide, turned over and fell off his horse, and died.

"Li Hui is here! Li Hui is here! "The Shu army has been 'chaotic', and they have been frightened by Li Hui's men. It has become a frightened bird.

In the distance, a group of centaurs fanned out towards this side. Maleonn commanded his soldiers to form a formation to meet the enemy. In order to survive, the exhausted Shu army took up new weapons and stood in a loose and fast defensive formation under the command of the commander. Everyone was sweating tightly, for fear that those people would rush over.

Fortunately, Li Huijun did not rush in. Standing a stone's throw away from the Shu army, the two military horses stood silently like this. Zhuge Liang chuckled in his heart: "Not good!" Something happened to Wang Ping! ”

"Prime Minister, who said ......"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "These people are Ma Zhong's subordinates, Li Hui's army is called the 'shooting' sound battalion, and they are his most 'elite' archers, Ma Zhong is astute, Wang Ping must be more than lucky!" ”

Ma Zhong is not only alert, but also has good ears. From such a distance, I even heard Zhuge Liang's words: "Hahaha, Prime Minister Zhuge is really like a god!" Ma Zhong untied a burden from the horse's neck and threw it in front of Zhuge Liang. Wang Ping's head gurgled out of the baggage.
