Chapter 541: The Price of Arrogance

Zhang Ren's spear point attacked again, and the fierce killing force brought his martial arts to the extreme.

Yan Yan was fearless and tried his best to block each other. The two famous generals from Shu fought together again.

According to Zhang Renzhi's martial arts skills, he fought with Zhang Fei for ten rounds without winning or losing. Yan Yan, who was captured by Zhang Fei ten times, was not his opponent.

After more than ten rounds of fighting, Yan Yan, a veteran, gradually lost ground. Under the pressure of Zhang Ren's numerous spear shadows, his swordsmanship became quite messy.

In the martial arts contest between the two, Zhang Ren had the upper hand, but the fighting between the soldiers on both sides made the Shu army gradually weakened.

In addition to his own 5,000 Jiangzhou soldiers, the army of 10,000 people led by Yan Yan also had 5,000 elite Yan troops.

Although Zhang Ren was the number one general in Shu and managed the army well, the army under his command had never experienced the test of fire with any real swords or guns.

How can such an army be the opponent of Yan Jun who has experienced hundreds of battles?

After several rounds of fighting, the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, but the Yan army became more and more courageous as they fought. When Zhang Ren fought bravely, the number of soldiers around him became less and less as the battle continued.

Although the situation was unfavorable, Zhang Ren was not worried at all, and the gun in his hand became more powerful.

Suddenly, only the left and right wings were heard, and Yan's army's formation was suddenly in chaos. Hundreds of Yan's troops collapsed and scattered, and they seemed to be vulnerable to a single blow.

Yan Yan was startled. He raised his eyes and looked around during the fierce battle, but he saw countless Shu troops rushing towards him from the slanting thorns on both sides, and they actually captured his flanks.

A mysterious sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth, as if everything had happened as he had expected.

It turned out that Zhang Ren had known that Yan's army was elite and that his own soldiers might not be his opponents, so Lingbao and Deng Xian on the left and right flanks were ambushed by him in advance, just to catch Yan's army off guard when the fierce battle failed.

Three routes of Shu troops, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, surrounded and attacked Yan Jun's military situation, which was disrupted in the blink of an eye.

When Yan Yan saw this, he couldn't help but look shocked. He struck a few times with his swords and jumped out of the battle group when he saw an opening. Without thinking too much, he turned his horse and looked south to retreat.

"This old man named Yan has no chance of escaping!" Zhang Ren shouted and pursued him with his spear.

Yan Yan, however, was as frightened as a bird, not caring about being humiliated by Zhang Ren, and scolded his defeated troops to flee south along Fushui.

Zhang Ren's victory was already certain, how could he let Yan Jun go so easily, so he joined forces with Lingbao and Deng Xian and pursued them all the way.



Thirty miles south of Fucheng.

The narrow road was winding and slowly extended into a valley.

There are towering peaks on both sides of the valley, making it difficult for birds to cross.

Halfway up the mountainside, Yan Liang was holding the Qinglong Dao in his hand, looking at the situation down the mountain from a distance.

A well-known scout was flying up the mountain, constantly reporting the battle ahead immediately.

"General Yan has fought with Zhang Renjun..."

"Our army has the upper hand, and the Shu army is at a disadvantage..."

"The Shu army attacked our flank. General Yan was unable to defeat us and was retreating south..."

"The Shu army is in hot pursuit and is following our army towards here..."

When he heard that Yan Yan was defeated and that the Shu army was pursuing fiercely, Yan Liang's face showed no trace of worry, but a sneer.

Looking into the distance, I saw dust and fog rising in the north direction, and large groups of soldiers and horses had already poured into the valley.

"Lord, it seems that Ren is indeed quite resourceful, and he actually knows how to divide his troops to attack the flanks of our army." Pang Tong, who was standing behind him, stroked his beard and sighed.

Yan Liang sneered: "It's just a trivial plan, it's not like I fell into the trap of your military advisor."

The corner of Pang Tong's mouth raised a little proudly, and he smiled without saying a word while stroking his beard.

Another scout on horseback galloped forward and reached the mountainside.

"My lord, General Yan's defeated troops have retreated into the valley. Tens of thousands of Shu troops are swarming to pursue them. The vanguard has passed the valley entrance."

"Probe again and report again!" Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted.

Looking from a distance, I saw that towards the mouth of the valley, the dust that had just subsided was rising again.

Yan Liang smiled and glanced at Pang Tongyi, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Obviously, Pang Tong's strategy succeeded.

Zhang Ren's temperament was arrogant and self-reliant, so Pang Tongcai came up with a plan and asked Yan Yan to lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard, so as to induce Zhang Ren to become angry and lead the army to make a plan.

Zhang Ren is quite resourceful and will definitely make plans. At that time, Yan Yan will be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat him.

The ultimate goal of Pang Tong's plan was to lure Zhang Ren and all the 30,000 Shu troops in Fucheng here.

"It's almost time. Send an order to the ambush troops and tell them to get ready." Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted,

Halfway up the mountain, the red flag was waving.

"The Lord's order has been given, and the entire army is ready to attack." In the forest on the left side of the valley, Gan Ning got on his horse and shouted loudly.

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the tens of thousands of Yanjun soldiers lurking in the forest, all like tigers and wolves, were ready to try.

On the right wing of the valley road, veteran Huang Zhong had already turned to his sword, with a long sword in his hand. The elite Changsha soldiers under his command were all excited, just waiting for a killing to extinguish the bloodthirsty in their hearts.

The arrow is on the string and ready to go.

In the mountains and forests, under the gaze of countless fierce eyes, more than 30,000 Shu troops, armed with the momentum of self-defeat, rushed into the valley with shouts and galloped past under their noses.

Zhang Renzong's horse and spear were even more majestic, and his momentum as the number one general in Sichuan was clearly revealed.

"Yan Liang, the dog thief, you deceived me, no one in Shu, and dared to invade again and again. Today Zhang Ren killed you to the point of despair, and you no longer dare to look down on me, an athlete in Shu—"

The pride in Zhang Ren's heart grew stronger and stronger. The victory in front of him had obviously made him completely ignore the world-famous Yan Liang.

In Zhang Ren's mind, he was already planning a grand plan to pursue the victory and drive Yan Liang's army out of Shu.

Zhang Ren, who was proud of the spring breeze and high in fighting spirit, was completely unaware that on the mountainside not far away, a pair of cold eyes were arrogantly watching him and the army entering the net.

After staring for a long time, more than half of the more than 30,000 Shu troops had entered the valley.

Yan Liangyan's killing intent had reached its strongest moment.

Suddenly, Yan Liang's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shouted: "Send the order, the whole army will be mobilized to surround and kill the Shu thieves!"

Next to him, Pang Tongyong hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't you wait until all the Shu troops enter the ambush circle and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

"Didn't Takahiro say that Zhang Ren is quite resourceful? I think he should have noticed something suspicious at this time and will soon choose to withdraw his troops. He is biting off more than he can chew and can't wait any longer."

Yan Liang's tone was decisive and confident, as if he had already seen through Zhang Ren.

Pang Tong felt that it made sense, nodded slightly and said nothing.

The military order was passed down, and on the mountainside, the commander's flag with the word "Yan" was raised high, with the flag pointing directly at the enemy in the valley below the mountain.

On both sides of Gudao, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, two generals, one old and one young, saw the flag order issuing a general attack at the same time.

"Go out and kill all the Shu thieves——"

His blood had already boiled to the extreme. At this moment, the fighting spirit accumulated in his chest erupted like a volcano.

"kill--"

The earth-shattering cry of killing rang out like thunder, and the birds in the forest were instantly frightened and flew all over the sky.

In the mountains and forests, tens of thousands of ambushed Yan troops surged up and rushed towards the valley road all over the mountains and plains.

And just before Yan Jun launched his attack, Zhang Ren, who was galloping on horseback, had already begun to notice something strange.

The narrow terrain of the valley road, Yan Yan's lone army came to challenge, and the distance from Fucheng became farther and farther...

All these factors are suspicious to Zhang Ren, who is both wise and brave.

The urge to chase gradually subsided, and heavy doubts quickly came to mind. Zhang Ren looked around, becoming more suspicious and frightened the more he looked.

Suddenly, Zhang Ren reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "Stop the pursuit and retreat quickly——"

This sudden retreat order made the officers and soldiers of the Shu army who were pursuing the retreat feel baffled.

"General Zhang, why do I have to withdraw my troops when my fighting spirit is at its peak?" Generals Lingbao and Deng Xian, who were flying towards me, asked with confusion.

"The terrain here is most conducive to an ambush. Our army must retreat immediately to avoid being hit..."

Just before Zhang Ren could finish his words, a loud shout of death rose up like thunder.

In the mountains and forests on both sides, countless Yan troops were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, suddenly filling the field of vision of Zhang Ren and Shu troops.

Countless flags rose up in the sky, and the flying flags even covered the dense forest in the mountains.

Ambushes are everywhere!

Zhang Ren's originally uneasy expression suddenly changed in shock, and the expressions of the two generals on the left and right, Lingbao and Deng Xian, changed even more, and a look of horror suddenly spread all over his body.

"We've fallen into a trap, we've fallen into a trap!" Lingbao shouted in horror.

The Shu soldiers on the left and right, who were originally high-spirited to fight, were shattered by the Yan army rushing down from all over the mountains and plains in the blink of an eye. Their fighting spirit was shattered and they were scared to death.

Zhang Ren's face was filled with embarrassment.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Yan Yan's challenge and defeat were actually Yan Liang's plan to induce him to take the bait.

At this moment, Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel that his dignity and pride had been ruthlessly played by Yan Liang.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw all troops——"

Zhang Ren, who was so angry that he didn't think much about it, could only turn his horse around, yell at his soldiers and flee as fast as they could.

The valley road is narrow and it is difficult to turn around. Nearly 20,000 Shu troops who have chased into the valley are pushing and pushing each other, and they are crowded together, unable to turn around for a moment.

At this moment, the ambush troops on the right wing had already arrived first. The Yan army sprang out from the forest and cut into pieces the Shu army's long snake formation in a blink of an eye.

Veteran Huang Zhong took the lead, and no one could stop him wherever his blade was.

Shu general Lingbao was retreating, but Huang Zhong locked his eyes with him. Huang Zhong shouted violently, slashed through the rebel army with his long sword, and walked straight towards Lingbao with his iron tower-like body.

Lingbao, who was running away, was surprised when he saw a veteran enemy general coming to kill him. Lingbao, who didn't know his name, started to look down upon him.

"Old man, if you dare to block my way, you must accept your fate——"

Lingbao couldn't help shouting proudly, and while shouting, the spear in his hand pierced Huang Zhongzhi's face. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
