Chapter 323 Another defeat and trapped in the lonely mountain

Zhao Shu's doubts were quickly solved. ?.?? On the third night of the day when Huan Yi and the others left, Zhao Shu was still asleep when he was woken up by the sound of shouting and killing outside. When he got up, Rong'er had already hurried into the tent with a full pair of armor, and said with a panicked face: "The barbarian army has already entered the city." "Zhao Shu has encountered more than one sneak attack, but this time he was the most surprised, the city defense patrols every day, how can those barbarians who don't have any siege equipment at all attack the city unconsciously?

Rong'er didn't pay attention to the puzzles in his heart at all, and didn't wait for him to have time to dress, so he pulled Zhao Shu up. In a hurry, Zhao Shu only picked up a robe and was dragged out of the tent. Tianyi, E Huan had already prepared the horses outside, Zhao Shu turned over on the horse, opened his mouth and asked, "How did the rebels enter the city?" Tianyi also shook his head blankly, and said: "The last general doesn't know, General Wu has already led people to resist, but the thief is very powerful, and it is important for the general to leave first." ”

Zhao Shu also heard the sound of shouting and killing approaching, and he really couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to flee to the north gate under the escort of Tianyi and others. On the way, there were Zhang Wei, Ye Feng escorted Jiang Wan, Li Feng and others fled, Zhao Shufu asked the rebels how to enter the city, but they didn't know, so they joined forces and wanted to go out of the city to Yizhou County. When I got to the city, I saw that the city gate was closed, Tianyi stepped forward to open the door, and two teams of soldiers were killed on the left and right, but they were all Han army uniforms, and Zhao Shu's subordinates were surrounded??. Zhao Shu was even more shocked, and when he saw Wang Yan coming out of the horse, he smiled and said: "The lower officials have been waiting here for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shu's heart suddenly brightened, no wonder Wang Yan would not oppose the county, but he was acting with Meng Shu to deceive his trust, but now he should be in harmony with the barbarian army. That's why Yongchang County couldn't be attacked for a long time, but tonight it was effortlessly swarmed by Meng Yu's soldiers and horses. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Wei turned to the second general of Tianyi and said, "You and others escorted General Zhao and Master Jiang to break through the siege, and after a certain self-defeat." Nai shouted loudly, and led more than 100 of his subordinates to kill Wang Yan.

Seeing that he was oriented towards himself, Wang Yan hurriedly hid behind and waved his army to surround and kill. Tianyi and E Huan also hurriedly broke through, although Wang Yan's subordinates did not have such fierce generals, but there were many people, and it was not easy to break through for a while. Zhao Shu was in the chaos of the army, although he was protected by Ye Feng and Rong'er, he also suffered a few wounds, but fortunately he did not hurt the vital point, but it was very painful and unbearable. The sound of killing in the distance was also getting closer, and Wang Yan was more and more happy in the back, and shouted loudly: "If the general abandons his weapons and surrenders, the next official will be in the friendship of the same dynasty, and you will not die." Zhang Wei was covered in blood and scarred at this moment, and he couldn't help but be even more angry when he heard the words, and struggled to lean towards Wang Ling. In a moment, Zhang Wei killed more than ten people, and the rebels in front of him could not stop his sharpness, and they retreated one after another??.? `

Wang Yan saw Zhang Wei rushing towards him desperately, and he was also very frightened in his heart, and retreated a lot, and couldn't stop shouting for his subordinates to come forward to intercept him. The people on the left and right henchmen couldn't be pressed, so they all stepped forward together and surrounded Zhang Wei under the nucleus. Seeing that Zhang Wei had a few more injuries on his body, Wang Yan gradually relieved himself, and said with a smile: "The general is so heroic, why do you have to be buried here with Zhao Shu?" Zhang Wei picked off another person with a gun, and scolded back: "How can the people of the big men be the thieves of the barbarians?" I swear to kill you. ”

Wang Yan laughed and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that the general will not be able to do this." As soon as the words fell, he felt a cold vest, and looked down, but saw an extra arrow on his chest, and before he could turn around to see who had shot it, he fell headlong under the horse and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, more than 100 people were killed behind the rebels, all of them were prisoners serving sentences, and the people rushed forward to cut off the Wang and his ranks, and shouted loudly: "Wang and his wife rebelled, and you and the others are all Han soldiers, why are you thieves?" Among the rebels, there were people who knew him, and they all shouted, "It's Lord Lu." ”

The person who came was Cao Lu Kai, the gong of the county, who was originally a subordinate official of Wang and his wife, but he did not want to be a thief, so he was imprisoned by him. Later, when Wang Yan heard Zhao Shu ask about this person, he became murderous and secretly instructed the jailer to get rid of him. But Lu Kai is usually in the county, and he has many political achievements and good reputations, and the jailer can't bear to harm him, so he hides and reports to the king. Hearing about the war outside tonight, knowing that it was Wang Yan and Meng Shu who rebelled, Lu Kainai said that he would move the jailers, open the cell, release all the prisoners inside, and put together a team of more than 100 people, and actually saved the lives of Zhao Shu and others. The sergeant of Yongchang County, who knew Lu Kaiqi and his people, saw that Wang Yan was dead, and suddenly the army's heart was panicked, and they all dispersed with a shout.

Zhao Shu didn't know Lu Kai, so he stepped forward to thank him and asked his name. After Lu Kai replied, he replied: "The situation here is critical, and the general should go out of the city first, and when it is stable, his subordinates will tell him the reason." Zhao Shu ordered someone to open the city gate and go north. Not a few miles out of the county, but there were barbarian troops blocking the road in front, and Zhao Shu only had hundreds of men and horses around him, and many of them were injured, so he couldn't fight anymore. Lu Kai said: "There is a place not far from the southeast of this place, called Niutou Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, enough to defend it, why don't the generals go to hold on to it?" Zhao Shu knew that he knew the geography here, so he followed his words and fought and left.

When it came to Anza on Niutou Mountain, Zhao Shu looked back left and right, but there were more than 500 people, the Wu brothers did not know their whereabouts, and all the generals around them were scarred, only Ye Feng was slightly better, and he bandaged his wounds. The barbarian army rushed and killed several times, but was repelled by the Han army with rocks and giant trees, and then they no longer attacked, but firmly surrounded this mountain.

This mountain is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is one thing that Lu Kai did not expect, the spring that should have been in the mountain has dried up, which means that these more than 500 people have no water source to drink. I wanted to break through again, but the barbarian army under the mountain had already gathered, blocked the way, and looked down from afar, there were about more than 10,000 people, and these more than 500 people were not enough to send them to plug their teeth.

Zhao Shu had no choice but to make people look for boulders, cut down ancient trees, and strictly guard the intersection; On the one hand, he led people to find water by himself. But none of the people learned the water conservancy geography of the later generations, and they just dug blindly for two days, and they didn't see half a drop of clear water at all. On the second day, Zhang Wei fell unconscious and was hot because of excessive blood loss and inability to replenish water. Although Ye Feng has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult for him to cook without rice, so he can only shake his head and sigh.

Zhao Shu saw Zhang Wei's injury, and the more sad he became, he licked his chapped lips and turned back to his tent. Without food, you can still kill war horses to satisfy your hunger, but without drinking water, how long can everyone hold on? Huan Yi, Ma Zhong's department is still far away from here, and within two or three days, it is categorically impossible to rush to the rescue. If water is not found tomorrow, these more than 500 people will not die of thirst? The changes in the past few days have made Zhao Shu believe that Kong Ming is in Meng Shu's army, otherwise how could he set up such a trap scheme?

Rong'er didn't know when to walk beside Zhao Shu, gently stuffed him with a water bladder, and said in a low voice: "There is still some water here, you can drink some." Zhao Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to unscrew the cork, but turned to look at Rong'er. In the past two days, she has not dripped, and it is difficult to leave half a cent of the ten colors in the past.
