Gritting his teeth and holding back from shouting, he waved his hand to kill a soldier who was sneaking up on him. Wei Yan turned his head and looked at Zhang Lu.
At this time, Zhang Lu was holding Zhang Ying with a look of astonishment on his face. Looking at Zhang Ying who had no breath, Zhang Lu seemed to have returned to the days when he led his soldiers to fight together a few years ago. At that time, his generals were like this.
One by one fell in front of him, but he didn't expect that another general would die for him today because of his mistakes.
Handing Zhang Ying's body to the soldiers behind him, Zhang Lu looked at the majesty with red eyes. At this time, Zhang Lu was like a furious lion, ready to explode at any time.
Seeing Zhang Lu like this, Zhang Ying snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. Although Zhang was seriously injured at this time, he was not afraid of Zhang Lu, and the murderous intention in his heart became even fiercer. Even Wei Yan
He couldn't understand his situation at this time. He was penetrated by Zhang Lu's long knife. No matter how strong his body was, he couldn't survive it. It could be said that he was already at the end of his strength even if he was still standing.
Either because of the desire for power, or because of the repayment of Liu Qi's kindness, Wei Yan was standing there with all his strength. He could feel that even an ordinary soldier could knock him down.
If it weren't for the hundreds of soldiers behind him who rushed up to block the surrounding Han soldiers while he was in his hands, he might have been killed on the spot.
The shouts came one after another. As the 10,000 troops led by Liu Qi rushed up and attacked the Hanzhong soldiers and horses with Wei Yan, even the high morale gradually declined under such attacks. Even among the Hanzhong army,
There has been a hint of confusion.
Under the leadership of Zhang Lu, the attack in the front was still fierce, while the Han soldiers in the rear began to gradually collapse and collapse under the sudden impact of Jingzhou soldiers and horses.
Looking back at the situation behind him, Zhang Lu's face became gloomy again and became a bit livid. Not only did he not attack Jingzhou today, but he let Jingzhou set a trap for him. At this time, he had already lost his troops. After that,
There is also the possibility that the entire army will be annihilated. In fact, after Liu Qi's army arrives, he has no chance. It is impossible for these 10,000 troops to rush through.
Looking at Zhang Ying's body, Zhang Lu suddenly thought of the traitor in Nanzheng City. By now, even if he didn't believe it, it was already clear that the traitor was Yang Song.
At this time, Zhang Lu wished he could return to Nanzheng City and cut Yang Song into pieces, but this was no longer possible.
"kill!"
Zhang Lu shouted loudly, raised his sword again and charged towards Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. Since he could not escape at this time, he could only pull two more people on his back, especially Wei Yan, who had just killed Zhang Ying.
The person you want to kill.
The voice with the tragic intention to die spread, and the faces of the hundreds of soldiers who followed Zhang Lu changed. Then they followed closely with long swords in hand and shouted loudly. The tragic atmosphere filled the air at any time.
The remaining thousands of soldiers and horses in Hanzhong all had sad expressions on their faces, and their attacks could not help but become more fierce.
"These Han soldiers are going to fight to the death." Liu Qi, who had just rushed behind the Hanzhong army, felt the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Hanzhong soldiers and horses, and his expression changed drastically. What kind of soldiers and horses are the most terrifying, that is when they know there is no way to escape?
Soldiers who fought endlessly. Even if these soldiers died, they would kill one or two people to support them.
The Hanzhong soldiers and horses at this time were undoubtedly like this, but Jingzhou's total number of troops fighting Hanzhong this time was only 30,000. If the losses here were too heavy, how could they prepare for the variables in Yizhou and Shangyong?
"Gather all the crossbows and arrows among the generals and keep firing arrows for me." Liu Qi turned his head and shouted to a young general on the side.
"No." The young general accepted, turned around and left quickly.
Liu Qi was not the only one who realized this. Just when Zhang Lu raised his sword and stepped forward to fight, Wei Yan's 10,000 soldiers and horses had also mobilized all their bows and crossbows, and fired arrows at the Hanzhong soldiers and horses through the fighting crowd.
, the crowded crowd gave the Han soldiers no place to hide. Therefore, hundreds of Han soldiers were hit by a hail of arrows.
Under the attack of rounds of arrow rain, thousands of Hanzhong soldiers were killed by arrows. More and more soldiers were hit by the falling arrows. Such heavy casualties not only did not make the impact of the Hanzhong soldiers
There was no stagnation at all, but it became more and more fierce.
Wei Yan, who returned to the rear of the army, finally realized what kind of mistake he had made. If all these ten thousand soldiers and horses were really killed here, then these soldiers and horses in Jingzhou would also suffer heavy losses.
Wei Yan took a deep breath and looked at the situation on the battlefield. At this time, as 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses joined in the joint attack, although Hanzhong's attack was slightly frustrated, the extremely suppressed tragic atmosphere was equivalent to adding a trace of variables on the battlefield.
.
"Fire the arrow!"
Boo hoo hoo…………
As the crossbows from the rear were transported, the number of crossbows attacking the Hanzhong soldiers increased a lot. However, after these arrows wounded the Hanzhong soldiers, these soldiers turned around and killed the Jingzhou soldiers in the rear.
And like a beacon burning across the prairie fire, more and more soldiers turned around and rushed towards the Jingzhou soldiers in the rear.
"We can't wait any longer." Looking at the increasingly fierce battlefield, Wei Yan decided in his heart. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to Jingzhou. At this time, Zhang Lu's army was damaged, and Jingzhou's capture of Hanzhong was already a certainty.
Yes, such a stalemate will only increase Jingzhou's casualties.
"Go find dozens of rebels." Wei Yan said to the young general who was supporting him.
"Nuo." He ordered people to bandage Wei Yan's wounds, and the young general turned around and left with hundreds of soldiers.
In less than a moment, dozens of horses were brought over by the young general, and placed in the middle of the official road under the command of Wei Yan. There was a faint tendency to block the entire official road.
Then under Wei Yan's order, the 10,000-strong army began to retreat on the bamboo slips. The soldiers in the rear who had not participated in the fighting retreated behind the Juma, and the soldiers who were fighting also slowly retreated. They waited until they got close to the Juma before a sudden burst of violence.
Chong temporarily suppressed the impact of Han Zhong's soldiers and retreated through the gap between the horses and horses.
After these people withdrew, dozens of resisting horses gathered together under the push of the soldiers, and suddenly several rows of resisting horses were placed between the Hanzhong soldiers and the Jingzhou soldiers. No matter how the Hanzhong soldiers attacked, they could not stop them.
He was blocked by a rejected horse.
Seeing that dozens of resisting horses had blocked the entire road, Zhang Lu's heart became increasingly heavy. If these resisting horses were not destroyed, he and the others would be beaten passively without any ability to fight back.
"Cut down these rebellious horses." Zhang Lu shouted to the people around him.
Duh duh duh…………
Hundreds of long knives slashed at the Juma, making loud noises, and a Juma immediately scattered under the blows of dozens of soldiers.
"Retreat." Wei Yan shouted in a low voice, and the ten thousand soldiers quickly retreated under Wei Yan's order. After the Hanzhong soldiers destroyed all the resisting horses, Wei Yan had already led the soldiers and horses out two miles away.
Seeing the retreat of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, the attacking Hanzhong soldiers were startled. Even Zhang Lu was surprised. He was already a turtle in the urn. Why did the Jingzhou soldiers choose to retreat? Could it be that Wei Yan was seriously injured and died?
Zhang Lu could not help but secretly guess, but he did not order the Han soldiers to pursue. Instead, the Han soldiers in the rear stood firm before leading their troops to retreat. Liu Qi in the rear had already known about Wei Yan when his soldiers and horses retreated.
Therefore, he did not rush to pursue him, but kept a certain distance from the Han soldiers.
"General, where should we retreat now?" The two young generals driving Wei Yan turned their heads and looked at Wei Yan.
"Withdraw to Nanzheng." Wei Yan thought for a moment and thought of Nanzheng. Although Nanzheng is not far away, it is not too close either. He can always defeat the Han soldiers along the way and return to Nanzheng full of hope.
Zheng, however, faced himself with a closed city gate. By then, Hanzhong's troops would probably collapse without attacking.
Ten thousand Jingzhou troops ran quickly in front, followed by thousands of Han soldiers, and finally ten thousand Jingzhou soldiers and horses followed closely.
Under Liu Qi's order, the army would catch up and kill some Hanzhong soldiers every once in a while, and then capture the injured Hanzhong soldiers. As time went by, thousands of Hanzhong soldiers and horses retreated.
At that time, there were less than 4,000 people left.
Although Zhang Lu knew what was going on behind him, it was of no use. Those soldiers who were left behind were injured and could not run fast at all. It was impossible for the army to stop again and fall into a tight siege for these people.
Although something bad might have happened in Nanzheng, Zhang Lu still had some hope left in his heart that he might be able to return to Nanzheng City smoothly.
The first to rush to Nanzheng was Wei Yan's 10,000 troops. At this time, Nanzheng had fallen into the hands of Yang Song. Not long after Zhang Lu led the troops to leave, Yang Song and Yang Bo entangled some of the aristocratic families in the city.
Coupled with the military power in Yang Song's hands, he successfully controlled the officials loyal to Zhang Lu, and even Zhang Lu's wife and children were arrested.
Hearing that soldiers and horses were rushing towards this side, Yang Song and others who were waiting for the news on the city tower stood up one by one and looked down the city. Finally, a vague light of fire appeared. In less than a moment, they arrived in front of the city gate, and then the fire light Yang
Song and others immediately recognized these people as soldiers from Jingzhou.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Zhang Lu and others were probably defeated. However, what surprised a few people was that the soldiers and horses below the city did not stay longer, but ran all the way.
After passing the city gate, thousands of fires appeared not far away.
"Is there someone chasing Jingzhou soldiers and horses?" Several people couldn't help but feel nervous.
When these people rushed to the city, Yang Song and others' expressions changed drastically. It was Hanzhong soldiers and horses under the city tower. Then, under the light, Yang Song and others could even see Zhang Lu clearly among the crowd.
Zhang Lu was not dead, and came back with his men. Instead, Jingzhou soldiers and horses were chased. This made Yang Song and others face a drastic change. The reason why they dared to rebel so boldly was because they were sure that Zhang Lu would be defeated and might even be killed.
Now that Zhang Lu has returned safely, he is chasing Jingzhou soldiers and horses, making several people feel full of fear.
"Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome your lord into the city."
When they arrived at the gate of Nanzheng City, all the Han soldiers' faces were filled with joy. Before Zhang Lu could speak, they all asked the soldiers on the tower to open the city gate.
