Chapter 37: Zhang Han Yangwei
At this time, he brought back the most exciting news for Tian Zang and the Chu Ling Yin Yinxi that Tian Zang needed the most, and the general's order, with these, Tian Zang could justify his name and command the three armies, without worrying about being exposed.
At this time, Li Gui stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Tian." ”
Tian Zang also returned the salute and laughed: "In the future, you and I will share weal and woe, happiness and hardship, and I will not treat General Li badly." ”
Both of them raised their heads and laughed, at this time, Tian Zang regained his serious expression, looked at Li Gui, and sighed: "The king's order is also for us to break the Zhang Han army first, and the danger of Zhang Jun's march into Ao Cang is not small, I decided to leave 30,000 troops for you and continue to besiege Xingyang, I will immediately lead the main force north to resist Zhang Han, if Zhang Han breaks, Xingyang can also be broken." ”
Li Gui also nodded approvingly, the two discussed properly, Tian Zang looked at the people in the tent, and shouted loudly: "Order, the three armies are drawn and march to Aocang!" ”
Ao Cang is located in the north of Xingyang, adjacent to Guangwu, is an important grain delivery place in Xingyang, Zhang Han in order to stabilize Xingyang, decided to seize Ao Cang first, after stabilizing Ao Cang, in Xu Tu Zhang Chu army, therefore, will have 200,000 troops as the vanguard, to Ao Cang.
At this time, more than fifty miles away from Aocang, the Qin army and Zhang Chujun met.
Nearly 100,000 Zhang Chu troops were mighty, setting up a formation, the war drums rumbled, and more than 100 generals rushed back to their own formations, ready to meet the battle, but on the opposite side, the Qin army was already spearmen in front, crossbowmen followed, chariots and cavalry lined up left and right, forming a defensive formation.
The two sides confronted each other for half an hour, the flag gate of the Qin army opened, Zhang Han took Zhang Ping, Sima Xin and others to ride out of the horse, and the high banner also stood proudly in the Chinese army with the appearance of Zhang Han, and the drums on both sides roared even more.
At this time, Zhang Han raised his right hand, set up a curtain, and looked into the distance, judging from his marching experience, the number of Zhang Chu's army was not less than 100,000, this battle must be fought quickly, not for a long time, otherwise his army will be tired from afar, and there will be loopholes, giving the enemy an opportunity. ”
On the opposite side, Tian Zang saw 200,000 Qin troops lined up, the momentum was huge, and the soldiers of the Qin army were all eyeing each other, and at a glance, they knew that they had experienced a hundred battles and were not ordinary troops, Tian Zang at this time had already retreated, but if he withdrew from Aocang, he could only return to Xingyang and Li Gui to join the division, and at that time, it was possible that Xingyang could not be captured, and he would be driven out of Sanchuan County by the Qin army.
If this is the case, Chen Sheng will definitely kill himself in the name of killing Wu Guang in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses, thinking of this, Tian Zang beat his spirits, turned around and shouted: "The Qin army is tired from afar, we have waited for work, and this battle will be won!" ”
Zhang Chujun kept shouting in the array: "We must win!" ”
At this time, Zhang Han on the opposite side had already brandished a halberd, pointing forward, the Qin army was killing like a landslide and tsunami, Zhou Wen faintly felt that the ground was shaking, and his back was wet with sweat, but for the glory of Zhang Chujun, in order for himself to continue to go back and explain, he had to pretend to be calm, and pointed before drawing his sword: "Kill the past!" ”
Zhang Chujun also mighty, rushed forward, not long, the two armies "bang", collided together, Changge soldiers against spearmen, the two sides were evenly matched, but soon, the Qin army's powerful crossbow array played an advantage, countless crossbow arrows shot at Zhang Chujun, falling like raindrops, constantly Zhang Chujun fell to the ground with arrows, groaning // groaning for a while, and then was ruthlessly trampled under the feet of the later soldiers, trampled to death in the chaos.
The war had just begun, the two armies had just fought, the mobile troops on both wings of the Qin army surrounded like waves, completely wrapped Zhang Chujun, the huge winch was full of sharp blades, wantonly looting Zhang Chujun, making Zhang Chujun's soldiers mutilated, flesh and blood flying, but this was only the beginning of the nightmare, soon, the Qin army's powerful cavalry group swarmed into Zhang Chujun's army, a pole of spears flew left and right, and Zhang Chujun was constantly stabbed to death.
Just when the two armies were fighting each other, Tian Zang took off his military armor, messed up his hair, quietly blended into the chaotic army, and retreated with the crowd, wanting to take the opportunity to escape, at this time, he had seen that it was difficult for Zhang Chujun to resist the Qin army, rather than die in the chaotic army, it was better to flee, incognito, and live his whole life.
But many things, often do not fulfill people's wishes, just when Tian Zang fled with the crowd, suddenly, the cavalry of the Qin army came from the oblique stab, dividing the chaotic Zhang Chu army into two, Tian Zang was caught off guard, was stabbed spear through the heart, died in the chaos of the army.
Zhang Chujun's banner has already been cut down, at this time, Zhang Chujun is like a headless fly, hitting the wall left and right, scurrying around, looking for a way to escape, even the commander has already died in the chaos of the army, no one knows, but Zhang Han disdains to incorporate these bandits, he ruthlessly ordered, all killed, no one left.
The war lasted for a whole day, and when the Qin army killed all the Zhang Chu army, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into the canal, but there were still many Zhang Chu troops who fled, at this time, the Qin army was cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the corpses of the fallen soldiers and transporting them back to Guanzhong, and the corpses of those rebels could only be left in the wilderness for the beasts to eat.
The sky was dark, the Qin army was still busy, and Zhang Han's latest military order had been conveyed to every corner: "Go south immediately and march to Xingyang." ”
。。。。。。
Xingyang is still in the midst of war, one day and one night, 30,000 Zhang Chu troops launched ten fierce attacks, each time almost to the head of Xingyang City, but was suppressed by the Qin army, just like that, several reincarnations, from day to night, and from night to early morning.
At this time, the fire at the head of Xingyang City had been extinguished, and more than 20,000 Qin troops collapsed on the city tower exhausted, some were sleeping, and some were stunned to look at the corpses all over the city, many of these were their companions and comrades-in-arms, but they could never wake up again.
War is cruel, either you die or I die, and in the face of war, no one will become merciful, because mercy means death.
Li You has not slept for three days and three nights, but the enemy has pressed the realm and has been attacking for nearly half a month, Li You knows in his heart that if he has a trace of relaxation, Xingyang may be lost in the snap of his fingers, and at this time, although Zhang Chujun attacked fiercely, but in the same way, they are also facing huge pressure, and the heavy losses make it extremely difficult for Zhang Chujun to hold on, at this moment, it can only be seen who can hold on to the last moment.
While Li You was thinking wildly and patrolling the city, a relative pointed to the distance and said excitedly: "My lord, look, it seems that Zhang Chujun has retreated!" ”
Li You was interrupted by his relatives, and he couldn't help but look at the city excitedly, Zhang Chujun was indeed dying and was marching north, what was going on?
。。。。。。
At this time, the sky has been bright, north of Xingyang, more than 20,000 Zhang Chu troops lined up, opposite, the mighty main force of the Qin army, began to slowly line up, Zhang Chu army array, has begun to secretly escape, soon disappeared in the path or mountain forest.
The two armies sounded the war drums at the same time, the Qin army flag door opened, Zhang Han rode out of the horse, opposite, Li Gui had been waiting for a long time, at this time, he knew that Tian Zang died in battle, he had no way to retreat, so he had to fight to the death, thinking of this, Li Gui waved his sword and shouted: "The Qin army is going south, we have no way to retreat, for Zhang Chuguo, for King Chen Sheng, soldiers, kill with me!" ”
With Li Gui's roar, Zhang Chujun followed Li Gui and rushed forward, but many Zhang Chujun quietly fled from the side road.
On the opposite side, the Qin army also launched an attack, at this time the Qin army was nearly 400,000, under Zhang Han's order, the Qin army was neat and advanced, and the powerful bow and crossbow shot at Zhang Chu's army like a shower, and nearly 100 people fell to the ground with arrows.
At the front of the Qin army were spearmen and shield soldiers, and when they saw Zhang Chu's army getting closer and closer, they began to rush forward in a scattered manner, and they were in a melee with Zhang Chu's army.
Not long after, Zhang Han held a halberd in his hand, joined the battle, his halberd flew one after another, left and right, Zhang Chujun suffered countless casualties, at this time, Zhang Han suddenly found that in the east, on an inconspicuous path, Zhang Chujun's commander Li Gui had fled on horseback, he immediately turned his horse's head and yelled to his followers: "Come with me!" ”
Zhang Han with more than 100 followers, closely chased Li Gui, this head, Li You also led the remnants of the city, nearly 20,000 Qin troops killed out of Xingyang City, went straight to Zhang Chu's army, soon, the Qin army formed a two-sided attack, surrounded the Zhang Chu army, nearly 7,000 Zhang Chu army remnants surrendered.
On the other hand, Li Gui led dozens of his relatives to flee the battlefield, thinking that he could escape in hiding and be safe, as long as he left the Xingyang battlefield, he would turn around to Dangjun and go to Jiujiang to join Deng Zong.
But Li Gui's wishful thinking miscalculated, just when he was secretly thinking about the way to retreat, behind, Zhang Han led a hundred relatives to rush all the way and intercepted Li Gui and others next to a dirt mountain.
Li Gui looked at Zhang Han in despair, he knew that he was approaching the limit, and he couldn't break through, looking at the dozens of relatives behind him who had followed him for several years, Li Gui shouted: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, brothers, Li Gui is one step ahead!" ”
Li Gui put his sword horizontally on his neck, and with a strong stroke, blood splashed everywhere, and Li Gui immediately fell in a pool of blood.
。。。。。。
In Xingyang City, Zhang Han's 30,000 main troops slowly entered the city, and outside the city, more than 400,000 troops began to build camps everywhere, and the three-year Xingyang Secession War ended.
At the head of the city, Li You and Zhang Han walked slowly, they were checking the city defense, at this time, Zhang Han sighed, Xingyang has been dilapidated, only such a broken city, Li You can hold on for so long, it can be seen that his true character as a man, and because of this, Zhang Han admires Li You and is willing to become a bad friend.
After checking the city defense, Zhang Han and Li You slowly walked down the city tower, at this time, Li You smiled lightly: "General Zhang has made great contributions to the imperial court, and he has a bright future, but although Zhang Chujun has lost troops and generals, his power cannot be underestimated, I don't know what General Zhang's next plan is?" ”
Seeing Li You asking, Zhang Han couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that there are still two lines of soldiers and horses under Wu Guang's command, one is in Xu County, and the other is in Tan County, I am ready to divide the troops into two routes, the main force will directly take Xu County, kill Wu Xu, and the other will go straight to Tan County, kill Deng Shuo, and then the two armies will join Chen County, and Zhang Chuguo can be destroyed." ”
Seeing that Zhang Han had a plan to break the enemy, Li You couldn't help but sigh: "The general's strategy is extraordinary, I wish the general an early victory." ”
After speaking, both of them raised their heads and laughed.
