Chapter 257: What a Foot for the Rats

Ma Zhong's blood was boiling.

After following Xuande Gong to leave Chengdu, the battle in Nanzhong made Ma Zhong happy.

There is no need to recite the classics, and there is no need to write every day for Xuande Gong to check.

In Nanzhong, you can gallop with a sword in your hand at will, so when Xuande Gong returned from the expedition in March last year, Ma Zhong used all kinds of means to stay with difficulty.

The terrain of the entire south and central region determines that it is basically impossible to spread out a decisive battle of the large army like the north, and it is difficult to complete the battle in one battle.

Although the continuous small battles made this Yizhou army a lot more elite, it did not have any major achievements.

After all, the strategy of Nanzhong focuses on strategy rather than attack, which is why Wu Yi is still busy in Nanzhong after the battle.

This is also the reason why Ma Zhong chose to follow Zhang Wei out of Yizhou, he wanted enough credit to prove that Xuande Gong entrusted all talents.

I want to use these military exploits to prove that I am better at military formation, rather than dancing and writing.

Zhang Wei led his troops north, and Yiyang did not spend much time, because there were no defenders in this city, only a few Jiangdong troops guarding grain and grass.

Three thousand people came like heavenly soldiers, and the entire Yiyang was so frightened that they opened the city gate without much effort, and after knowing the battle situation from the mouth of the Jiangdong army, Zhang Wei did not hesitate to continue to run north.

And when he saw the decisive battle of the army besieging the city with 10,000 people in the distance, Zhang Wei, who was still a gong cao a year ago, was a little hesitant for a while.

But Ma Zhong's passion has been fully mobilized.

This Hanshou seems to be about to overturn, but there is still stubborn resistance, which shows that the difference in combat power between the two sides is not too much.

Then when your own reinforcements arrive at this time, won't you be able to reverse the victory and defeat with a stretch of your hand? It's a big job!

Unlike Zhang Wei, when he was directly gifted to Pang Tong by Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong still remembered the heroic appearance of Zhou Dudu in Chibi and Nanjun.

Later, he was transferred to Xuande Gong by Pang Tong, and what Ma Zhong saw was that he wore six cities in two months, the people of Yizhou returned, and few injured people took Yizhou.

What I saw was General Zhang's first Dengke Yangping, and Zhang Lufeng's sudden loss of Hanzhong.

What I saw was General Guan's sailor Dingjingxiang, and Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to Jingzhou.

Nanzhong can also be said to be like a bamboo, so unconsciously for Ma Zhong, victory is a matter of course for Xuande Gong's side.

is also because of the different time of following Xuande Gong, when he saw the crumbling Hanshou, Zhang Wei hesitated slightly, and Ma Zhong was not afraid at all, and attacked directly!

"I am Ma Zhong, who dares to fight with me!"

The crisp shouts echoed in this corner of the battlefield, and the unexpected surprise attack from behind also caused confusion to Han Shounan's defenders for the first time.

Although Zhang Wei was a little slower, his thoughts were a little more thoughtful than Ma Zhong's.

Seeing that Ma Zhong had already entered the enemy formation, Zhang Wei also put aside his hesitation and stepped forward, and shouted at the same time:

"Xuande Gong's reinforcements are here!"

The soldiers behind Zhang Wei also had a tacit understanding, and as the general stepped forward, they shouted together in their mouths:

"Xuande Gong's reinforcements are here!"

The sound of heavy waves rushed from Hanshou south to all directions.

Shamoke, who was gradually falling into the predicament, clearly caught this shout, and then swung Han Dang's long knife with an iron rod, then turned sideways to avoid Han Dang's axe split, and finally jumped back to avoid the iron hook before laughing.

Shamoke, who was too lazy to fight with Han Dang and grabbed a chance to breathe, yelled hard:

"Xuande Gong's reinforcements are coming! Sons and daughters, kill the enemy with me! ”

Morale has increased and decreased, and the faltering front has a tendency to stabilize.

"Yigong, I'll stop the reinforcements!"

Pan Zhang couldn't wait to fight, and seeing that Han Dang nodded, he immediately turned his head and left without any nostalgia.

Just now, between attack and defense, Pan Zhang found that the cooperation between himself and his own soldiers was obviously inferior to Han Dang's, and forcibly inserting it would destroy Han Dang's rhythm of suppressing Shamoke.

And where they were, a few barbarians around Nashamoko also recognized him, laughing and insulting between attack and defense, which made Pan Zhang feel ashamed and angry, but he couldn't attack for a while, and it was difficult to kill the barbarians to vent their anger.

At this time, I heard that there were still reinforcements, which of course needed to be dealt with, so Pan Zhang simply suggested that he just get out of here.

Anyway, looking at the posture in front of him, even if he wins Hanshou, it is Han Dang's first credit, he already sees that he is not pleasing to the eye, and he will definitely not share the credit, so it is better to simply block the reinforcements and take the credit.

Anyway, Hanshou is surrounded by the two armies, and he can't run away from his share of credit at that time, just exaggerate the strength of this reinforcement in the letter to Sun Hou, wouldn't the credit be stable?

Han Dang had nothing to do, just nodded to Pan Zhang, and then pounced on Shamoke again, not intending to give this barbarian king a little room to breathe.

And on the way to the south of the city, Pan Zhang also clearly knew the situation of this support army:

"Only 3,000 people?"

"The leader calls himself Ma Zhong?"

Pan Zhang couldn't help but scratch his head, why does this name sound vaguely familiar?

It's not far to the south of Hanshou, so he doesn't need to be reminded, and when Pan Zhang saw a young general running like a dragon in the Jiangdong Army, he laughed out loud:

"I thought it was Ma Zhong, but I didn't expect it to be this Ma Zhong!"

At this time, the Yizhou army rushed forward like a sharp arrow, and Ma Zhong was the tip of the arrow.

Because Ma Zhong was the first to move, Zhang Wei simply did not fight, and was half a position behind Ma Zhong and rushed to kill with him.

Ma Zhong also saw these subtleties in his eyes, and he forgot to die even more when he rushed to kill. target

As a result, at this moment, Ma Zhong was bound to get a knife, and was directly shocked by a knife that suddenly came sideways next to him.

"Ma Zhong! Thou hast forgotten thy ancestors? ”

This frivolous insult came into his ears, and even if he didn't look up, Ma Zhong turned out this person from his memory.

"Pan Zhang?"

The two sides collided, and the soldiers next to them were busy making room for the two, and Zhang Wei was also slightly confused, standing behind Ma Zhong to see what the situation was.

Pan Zhang's face was pale:

"I haven't seen you for years, and you still don't know anything like this! Summoning a certain General Pan! ”

Ma Zhong shook his head:

"You don't even call me General Ma, how can I respect you?"

Pan Zhang's brows twisted and he scolded directly:

"If there is no promotion from this general, you still don't know whose house you are a slave in, and today you are so ungrateful!"

Saying that, Pan Zhang glanced at the foot soldiers behind Ma Zhong, he could see that they were all strong people, if he won this army, I am afraid that it would no longer be a dream to shock Jiangdong!

So after Pan Zhang's anger was finished, he changed to a kind smile:

"Ma Zhong, I want to teach you to know that now that Jingnan is about to be overturned, there is still Cao Gong's army in the north, and Guan Yu's death has come."

"At this time, I will return to the command of this general, and I will be rich and noble!"

But Pan Zhang didn't say that it was okay, but this statement aroused Ma Zhong's anger, and he immediately attacked Pan Zhang with a knife, and scolded again and again:

"When I was in Jiangdong, my money and wealth were all dedicated to you, what is the difference between being a slave and being a slave, and I dare to say my kindness?"

"Sun Liu is dear, how could my father-in-law ever lose to Sun Hou? On the contrary, it caused Sun Hou to sneak attack with thieves, and Chen Bing was here. ”

"The sages have clouds, and since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people cannot stand without faith. Isn't Sun Hou's move a breach of trust in the world? They did not persuade Sun Hou but were complacent, if Zhou Dudu saw it, how ashamed! ”

"Now that they are persuaded to surrender to me, it is tantamount to a jackal begging me to enter the hill, and the rats of their generation are so good!"

Pan Zhang's words aroused Pan Zhang's anger, but he couldn't refute it for a while, so he could only shout angrily:

"Wait for General Ben to cut you, see if Xiao'er can still be so sharp!"

Ma Zhong did not hesitate to retort:

"Rats! This general is waiting to behead your head and hang it in Jiangling, so that the world can see the ugliness of your dishonesty! ”

"Ahhhh Pan Zhang was furious, he only felt that everything had gone wrong since he came out of Jiangdong, and now even the old department could disobey him, and all kinds of troubles provoked Pan Zhang to have an idea at this moment:

He wants this horse to die! There are no more hands left between attacks.

But at the moment when Pan Zhang pounced, Zhang Wei did not hesitate to make a move.

Because of the poverty of his family when he was young, Zhang Wei has always been very thrifty, with a lot of patches on his clothes, as long as he can fill his stomach with food, he has always eaten and lived with the soldiers, and he is quite loved.

The same is true for this aid to Jingnan, especially when attacking Quanling, he also changed his clothes and armor, and Zhang Wei has always said little, and it is difficult for others to guess that he is the one who really commands this army when he is silent.

Therefore, Pan Zhang thought that Ma Zhong was the leader of this support army, and he did not spare any hands in the attack, only seeking a quick cut, and he did not guard against the fact that there was still one person by Ma Zhong's side.

There seemed to be a little bit of warmth on the back of the hand, and it became extremely cold when it was blown by the wind.

The same is true for his chest, where a warmth spreads from his neck downward, dispelling a little chill and being somewhat comfortable.

Pan Zhang turned around and wanted to say something, but all he came out was a "beep" sound, and the warmth in his chest seemed to be just an illusion, and Pan Zhang fell on his back.

For those who are about to die, the last bit of attachment to the world makes this last moment incomparably long, Pan Zhang clearly saw the soldier who shot neatly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of calmness, and there was no superfluous expression at all.

He saw that Ma Zhong had a moment of unbearability, but it quickly dissipated like an illusion.

In the end, he also saw those pro-soldiers, the pro-soldiers who used to drink and eat meat together, and at this time he looked at him with disbelief in his eyes and took the initiative to retreat.

In the end, this moment was over, and before Pan Zhang regretted his decision to leave Jiangdong, his consciousness completely dissipated.

Zhang Wei didn't hesitate so much, and after he won the blow, he didn't hesitate to step forward and pull his hair and cut off his head.

"The enemy will give the head, and Jiangdong will be defeated!"

The Yizhou army behind Zhang Wei also shouted along for the first time, and expressions of confusion and fear began to appear on the faces of Jiangdong soldiers.

For the vast majority of them, the war has become absent-minded at the moment.

The news of Pan Zhang's death soon spread back to Hanshou County, which was still in the fierce battle, and Han Dang, who had always been steady, was a little incredulous for a while:

"Only three thousand! Just strangle with a large army. ”

"Is there a soft girl in the thief army or what, with the advantage of troops, Pan Zhang still went to the battle?"

It is conceivable how much impact the main general will have on morale when he is beheaded in battle, and Han Dang is eager to go to the enemy at this time to ask for Pan Zhang's body and whip him for another thirty.

But it's useless to think about it so much, and before Han Dang asks carefully, Shamoke has already taken the initiative to attack, and at this time, he won't give Han Dang a chance to breathe:

"Come on, come on, such a good man will fight me again!"

Han Dang turned a deaf ear, and after ordering his own soldiers to attack and stop Shamoke, he glanced at the crumbling but non-falling defense line of the Wuling Army with nostalgia, and the herald conveyed Han Dang's military order.

The drums of war were played, and although the Jiangdong Army was a little reluctant, it still began to slowly withdraw from Hanshou County.

In the north, Dong Zhengzheng, who was temporarily commanding Pan Zhang's troops under Han Dang's order, held back his joy, maintained a sad expression on his face, and ordered the soldiers to strengthen the military camp and line up in the open space.

Now that the situation has been judged by Dong Zheng, although he has broken a main general, the real commander of the three armies, Han Dang, is unharmed.

Although the thieves have reinforcements, they are only thousands, so one increase and one decrease, on the whole, Jiangdong has a slight advantage.

It's just that the thief reinforcements are coming from the south, where are the elite soldiers from the south? Dong Xi couldn't think of it.

With Jiangdong's temporary retreat, the Wuling army couldn't believe it, after all, they were ready to fight to the death half an hour ago.

Now not only survived, but also won by a small margin, it is like in a dream.

Commanding his subordinates to carefully collect the corpses, Shamoko did not take a weapon, and took the initiative to meet the reinforcements.

Zhang Wei also took the initiative to greet him, and Shamoko was a head taller than him, and he had to look up when he spoke.

"Sima Zhang Wei, another subordinate under the command of Duke Xuande, came to the rescue on the order of Nanzhong Taishou."

Shamoko breathed a sigh of relief, and also did the same etiquette:

"Hanshou County Order, Shamoke."

After seeing each other's identities, Zhang Wei preemptively made the first request:

"Is there a place to rest in this county?"

After a while, looking at the reinforcements who were still fighting before, at this time lying on the school ground, many people were snoring like thunder, and Shamoko was full of gratitude:

"General Zhang...... So-and-so still call you the words. ”

"The Boqi brothers have worked hard so far, and on the way from Nanzhong to Hanshou, even in peacetime, few businessmen are willing to go."

"Now that I have come to the rescue, it can be called a great grace."

The short conversation just now also made Shamoko understand where this support army came from, and he was full of stagnation for a while, and his heart was even more grateful.

And I have hardly had a good rest all the way around, and now the first request after a small victory is also a good rest.

Although Zhang Wei had a tired look on his face, he made contributions to Yizhou this time, and the rescue was Wu Lingman, who also belonged to the minister of Xuande Gong, and this experience was quite novel to him:

"If it weren't for the persistence of the county magistrate Sha, we would only be able to look at the army and sigh even if we came to this point."

"It's just what Magistrate Sha sees, what should I do now?"

Zhang Wei and Mr. Lu didn't talk much, but Mr. Lu didn't know what the situation was in Jiangling, and his previous suggestion was just to let him act when he arrived in Hanshou.

Since this Hanshou County Sha Moke is here, it should be summed up.

Shamoke laughed, waved his hand again and again to signal Zhang Wei to call him a brother, and then muttered:

"Previously, when the brothers were in Zuotang and had not been driven back, the scouts said that there were sailors under Jiangling City who left and went downstream."

"Now that the Boqi brothers are going north without any obstacles, it can be seen that this sailor is not going to Yunmengze, but to the east, or Jiangdong to change."

"I couldn't do it before, but now with the help of the Boqi brothers, we may be able to relieve the siege of Jiangling!"

Shamoko is not good at analyzing military situations, but he has lived here for nearly 30 years, and he knows geography and hydrology very well, and he can guess a rough idea just by guessing.

And he also saw it very clearly, if the siege of Jiangling is lifted, Jingzhou will be worry-free.
