Chapter 584 Yang Jian sent troops to capture Shangyong, and Zhang Ren stormed Jia Cute Pass!
In Jingzhou, after Yang Jian led his army back to Xiangyang, he received a personal letter from Yuan Shu within a few days!
The letter stated that there is currently a war breaking out in Yizhou, and the battle between Liu Bang's forces and Zhang Lu's forces is in full swing. The troops of both sides are stationed in Yangping Pass, Guangyuan and Langzhong areas, while Shangyong City behind Zhang Lu is empty of troops, and the defenders are
If the incompetent rat Yang Ang sends troops from Jingzhou at this time, he will be 100% able to conquer Shangyong.
Zhang Lu was fighting with Liu Bang. Even if Shangyong fell, he could not get away to recapture Shangyong. He could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!
"This plan on the highway is very clever. Zhang Lu is restrained by the Shu army. If our army captures Shangyong at this time and the front is directed towards Hanzhong, then Zhang Lu will inevitably be enemies on both sides. He can only compromise and abandon Shangyong...
..”
Thinking of this, Yang Jian raised his head and laughed loudly. He excitedly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the sword at the southwest, and then said with sonorous words: "Where is my son Yang Guang? I ordered you to lead an army of 30,000 people.
Pounce on Yongcheng and capture Shangyong before Zhang Lu in Hanzhong can react. There must be no mistake."
After listening to the order issued by his father Yang Jian, Yang Guang quickly stepped out of the queue. He cupped his hands and clasped his fists, eyes widened in anger, and replied confidently: "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Yang Jian was very satisfied with what Yang Guang said. He thought briefly for a few breaths, and then called Yang Su, Yang Zheng, Yang Xuangan, Han Zengshou, Yuwen Chenglong, Yuwen Chengxiang, and Yuwen Zhiji, asking them to assist Yang Guang in the attack.
Shangyong City.
After getting help from many generals, Yang Guang's confidence doubled. He hurried to the military camp, mobilized his troops and generals, and then led an army of 30,000 people towards Shangyong.
at the same time!
In Yizhou, a large number of members of the underworld organization lurked into Hanzhong City. Through various methods, they successfully established communication lines with Zhang Lu's generals, and then extended olive branches to some generals who had the intention to change their camps.
Among them, the old ministers of Zhang Lu, headed by Yang Song, Yang Bai, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, Chang Qi and others, had close contact with the underworld organization in private. However, in the face of the olive branch offered by the underworld organization, they neither agreed nor accepted the offer.
Refuse, the meaning is somewhat ambiguous.
The attitude of Yang Song and others is obviously to wait and see the current situation. If the situation is okay, then they will definitely not abandon the high-ranking officials under Zhang Lu and join Yuan Shu's forces. But if Zhang Lu's forces are in danger, then they will
Will immediately switch to Yuan Shu's forces!
Ding Xiu, the cadre of the underworld organization in charge of Yizhou affairs, is very clear about the thoughts of this group of people. At present, Shangyong City has not been captured by the Jingzhou army, and most of the officials under Zhang Lu have not yet become aware of the crisis, and are unwilling to accept the olive branch offered.
It's normal, but it won't be long before they come to the underworld organization and beg to join Yuan Shu's forces.
"If you want to join the force then, it won't be so easy!"
Just as the undercurrent was surging in Hanzhong City, at the front line of the battlefield, Chen Bangyan and his son led the remnant army to successfully merge with the Hanzhong support army. The two armies joined together. Sun Kewang, the commander of the Hanzhong support army, was furious when he learned the news of the fall of Langzhong City.
Angry, he cursed Zhang Jiayu as a waste, and then led his troops to Langzhong in a hurry.
When they successfully arrived at Langzhong City, Sun Kewang ordered the siege without hesitation. The Shu army was forced to counterattack. The two sides refused to give in to each other and entered a stalemate!
At the same moment when Sun Kewang led his army to attack Langzhong City, the battle in Guangyuan County had ended. Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi Kingdom led his army to advance rashly. As a result, he was ambushed by Zhang Ren's army and suffered heavy casualties. If Zhang Churang hadn't tried his best to save him, this man would have died.
'The leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty and the founder of the Daxi regime' may have lost his head and died in battle.
After escaping, Zhang Xianzhong regained his composure and decisively abandoned the undefendable Guangyuan County. He led his army to enter Jiameng Pass and sent scouts to Yangping Pass to ask for help from Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shan.
After Zhang Shan, Zhang Shicheng and others learned about the fall of Guangyuan, they led an army of 25,000 non-stop and rushed from the back of Yangping Pass to Jiameng Pass!
At Jiameng Pass, after Zhang Xianzhong and others received assistance from Zhang Shicheng and others, their morale was high and they repeatedly repelled the invading Shu army.
Repeated defeats caused the morale of the Shu army to become low. The three generals Hu, Lu and Yang who were originally arranged to stop Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shan from going south to support Langzhong near Jiange were transferred back to the front line by Liu Bang.
After the three fierce generals of tiger, deer and sheep joined the front line, the morale of the Shu army was obviously improved a lot. Zhang Shan, the fierce general in Jiameng Pass, was not happy when he saw this. He forced his way out of Jiameng Pass and wanted to fight with the Shu army generals.
In a one-on-one challenge, the Shu army sent out the fierce six-eared macaque.
Seeing that his opponent was an unknown guy, Zhang Shan's heart was full of contempt. He underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, trying to kill the six-eared macaque forcefully and win the first victory. Unexpectedly, the six-eared macaque's strength was not as good as his.
The two fought fiercely for more than 300 rounds without deciding the winner. Until the 400th round, Zhang Shan lacked endurance and could not hold on, so he was forced to flee and fled back to Jiameng Pass!
The defeat of the fighting general caused Zhang Shan to lose face. At the same time, the morale of the soldiers in Jiameng Pass dropped sharply. When Zhang Xianzhong, the commander-in-chief of Daxi Kingdom, learned about Zhang Shan's reckless behavior, he was furious and ordered him to be beaten with a cane for forty times.
, deduct half a month’s salary.
On the other hand, as for the Shu army, the six-eared macaque showed its prowess and defeated Zhang Shan, one of the most powerful generals under Zhang Lu, which greatly boosted the morale of the Shu soldiers!
Zhang Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army, saw that his troops were ready, so he sent Fan Kuai, Wei Yan, the three brothers Huluyang and Liu-eared Macaque to each lead an army of 2,000 men to attack Jiameng Pass and consume as much as possible.
City defense supplies.
After receiving the order, Fan Kuai, Wei Yan, the three brothers Hu, Deer and Sheep and the six-eared macaque set off quickly and led their soldiers to attack the city!
Fan Kuai, the three tiger, deer and sheep brothers and the six-eared macaque relied on their strong military force. They took the lead and led their soldiers to storm Jiameng Pass under huge pressure.
As a result, they were desperately blocked by Zhang Churang, Zhang Shan and other Daxi generals. Fan Kuai and others were forced to withdraw their army and were unable to fight anymore!
Other generals aimed at attacking the city, but Wei Yan was different here. His main task was to eliminate the enemy's physical strength, so he climbed to the top of the wall, took advantage of the chaos to kill Zhang Jun, Zhang Lu's general, and then Zhang Shi wanted to do it.
Zhang Jun took revenge and died tragically under Wei Yan's knife.
After Wei Yan killed two powerful generals from Daxi Kingdom, he originally wanted to continue looking for the target, but unfortunately Fan Kuai and others retreated. If he did not leave, he would probably be attacked by Zhang Shan, Zhang Churang, Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc.
The people took revenge, so they quickly withdrew their troops and returned to the Shu army camp!
