At this moment, Zhang Lu could only express his dissatisfaction in words!
Since Liu Zhang could set up such a treacherous plot, Zitong must have set up layers of ambush. It would be impossible to escape!
"Lord, order the attack quickly, don't let Zhang Lu escape!"
Xun You suggested that Liu Zhang should stop talking nonsense with Zhang Lu, otherwise things would change if he was too late!
"Wait a minute, these soldiers are all descendants of Shu, and I don't want to cause more killings."
Liu Zhang did not want to show off his resourcefulness to Zhang Lu, he was also waiting for the morale of these soldiers to completely collapse.
The soldiers and horses led by Zhang Lu were almost the people of Guanghan County, Shu County, and Qianwei County. These three counties were also places that Liu Zhang had to get, and he did not want to leave the impression of bloodthirsty on the people of the three counties.
"Soldiers below the city, listen! You are already surrounded! If you don't want to die, immediately drop your weapons and squat close to the city wall! Otherwise, the bows and arrows will be ruthless. Don't blame me for killing!"
These soldiers were not Zhang Lu's subordinates. When they heard Liu Zhang's plan to survive, they immediately gave up the idea of resisting and began to throw away their weapons.
Clang..
Clang..
Bang bang.. Bang bang..
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
In the entire Wengcheng, except for the dozens of people around Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei, not a single soldier was still holding a weapon.
The next moment, a riot broke out. In order to survive, the soldiers crowded to both sides crazily. The soldiers close to the city wall were miserable. In an instant, many people were squeezed to death and trampled to death!
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the city, and soon there was a roar, and the earth gradually began to tremble.
This stimulated the soldiers even more, and they pressed harder to both sides, fearing that they would be shot by Liu Zhang.
But it was this sudden change that suddenly opened up a passage in the middle of the barbican city that was originally full of soldiers!
"Brother, hurry up! Let's go!"
Zhang Wei was overjoyed. Liu Zhang's decision actually gave the two brothers a chance to escape!
"Walk!"
Zhang Lu didn't dare to hesitate and rushed out madly.
"Lord, shoot the arrow quickly!"
"No!"
There were too many surrendered soldiers in the city, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang to start shooting Zhang Lu just because of him.
"Quickly send an order to Zhao Yun, don't worry about the soldiers in the city, let him pursue the Zhang Lu brothers at full speed!"
"Instruct Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to leave the city quickly to gather the defeated soldiers and capture them all!"
"Han Sheng, I will leave the surrender of the soldiers in the city to you." "Dian Wei, Gao Shun, bring the Wuwei camp and the trap camp, and follow me to support Zilong!"
After directly issuing four orders, Liu Zhang walked directly down to the city and led the two battalions of Dian Wei and Gao Shun to fight out of the city.
Liu Zhang wanted to take this opportunity to capture Fu County in one fell swoop, and even invade Mianzhu!
Zhang Lujun outside Zitong City had no idea what was going on in the city. They saw the general rushing out of the city and then ran away without looking back!
Then countless cavalry and infantry were killed on both sides of Zitong City. Countless archers suddenly appeared on the walls of Zitong City, pointing at them with cold iron arrows.
The commander-in-chief and the general fled for their lives alone, while the soldiers were trapped in a tight siege. The battle ended quickly.
There was almost no resistance, and Zhang Lujun surrendered outside the city with just persuasion!
This battle is really funny!
Liu Zhang's army directly defeated Zhang Lu's 21,000 troops without using a single sword, spear or arrow!
In addition to the more than 100 people who fled with the Zhang Lu brothers, and the more than 100 people who were trampled to death due to crowding, more than 20,000 others were all captured!
Many soldiers didn't even know what was going on. They saw their companions surrendering, and then they knelt down and asked for surrender.
After collecting the weapons and disposing of all the prisoners, Xun You made a decisive decision and ordered Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to lead his troops to support Liu Zhang and others. Huang Zhong led his troops and five thousand garrison troops to guard the Zitong prisoners.
Xun You himself led the remaining three thousand field troops to escort the grain and grass to Fu County to support Liu Zhang.
Xun You probably guessed what Liu Zhang was thinking. This time, he could annihilate Zhang Lujun, Fuxian, and even Mianzhu in one fell swoop!
"Han Sheng, I will leave Zitong to you!"
"Don't worry, military advisor, Zitong is absolutely foolproof!"
Mianzhu is two hundred miles away. If Liu Zhang is really ruthless, he can attack Mianzhu in one go. So what Xun You has to do is to ensure Liu Zhang's logistics so that he has no worries.
Liu Zhang's armies from all walks of life were chasing Zhang Lu, but at this time Zhang Lu was almost at the end of his rope!
The more than 100 people who originally followed the two men have all separated due to their own reasons. Now, only two brothers, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei, are still struggling to escape.
Zhang Wei's confident demeanor has disappeared, replaced by endless embarrassment!
"Brother, what should we do? Liu Zhang's cavalry has been chasing after us!"
Although there was still some distance, Zhang Wei was still extremely nervous and looked back from time to time.
Zhang Lu was not much better, his hair had become messy, and he had lost all of his 'teacher' style.
"Escape first. We can't go back to Fujian. Let's flee to Mianzhu!"
Fu County must not be able to defend it anymore. There are only 300 old and weak people in the city. It must be that Liu Zhang can only break the city in a matter of seconds!
Mianzhu, also known as Mianzhu Pass, is said to be a checkpoint, but in fact it is a city. Like Jiameng Pass, it is the only way to guard the Golden Bull Road!
If Liu Zhang wanted to invade Shu County, Mianzhu Pass could not be bypassed no matter what.
"Brother, are there any defenders in Mianzhu? Didn't you say you brought them all to Fuxian?"
Zhang Wei clearly remembered that Zhang Lu told him that he had brought all the soldiers and horses in Guanghan County.
What's the use of escaping to Mianzhu if there are no defenders?
"There are a thousand more."
"one thousand?"
Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Lu in shock. All 20,000 troops were wiped out. What's the use of a thousand men!
"Yes, there are still a thousand soldiers and horses."
Zhang Lu was relatively calm and did not waste his energy on being surprised.
"After arriving at Mianzhu, we took these thousand people and abandoned the city."
After hearing these words, Zhang Wei became even more disheartened.
"Let's go...brother, where else can we go?"
Through this attack on Zitong County, Zhang Wei was completely awakened. He already knew how huge the gap between himself and Liu Zhang was!
Zhang Lu Group and Liu Zhang Group are completely different!
The gap between the two is no longer just a matter of the number of soldiers. Zhang Wei even felt that even if they were given an army of 100,000, it would be difficult to defeat Liu Zhang!
"Let's go to Luo County!"
Zhang Lu spat out two words lightly, his expression full of helplessness.
Luo County, a city destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army!
Luoxian County was originally the seat of Yizhou, but it declined due to Ma Xiang's cholera!
Quejian, the former governor of Yizhou, also died in Luo County!
"Luoxian County..."
The last glimmer of hope in Zhang Wei's heart was shattered!
Luoxian County is already the southernmost city of Guanghan County. If you stick to Luoxian County, it is equivalent to giving up Guanghan County!
