"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Liu Zhang said angrily, pulling Zhang Song back from his memory. "This strong wall and clear wilderness... sigh, don't do it. Even if I can't keep the position of the Lord of Yizhou, I can't do this to the people of Yizhou." Yan Bi sighed softly. "Zhang Ren, Lingbao, Deng Xian, you should gather all the military horses in Shu and go to Jiange, Fucheng and other places to disperse the defense. Zhang Ren is responsible for the deployment. Remember not to do things that endanger the people, such as fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. Let's go. ."

The ministers dispersed with a sigh, only Zhang Ren scolded the fallen army to drive back to his hometown.

At this time, Luochen and Lü Bu were leading the army through the mountains and mountains. For contemporary college students like Luo Chen, who do not exercise all day long, this kind of march is very fatal. Planning a strategy is one thing, but implementing these plans is much more difficult. In the end, Luochen could only be carried or carried by the soldiers, and Luochen was a little uneasy. But Lu Bu didn't take it seriously: "Prime Minister, you are a strategist, a person of gold and noble, and you shouldn't have come to this mountain where birds don't shit. The most important thing for you is to save your physical strength, don't get tired, otherwise it will be bad. , then our group of dragons without a leader will not end." There was no road in the mountain, so the soldiers used weapons and axes to cut out the passage. When they encountered a cliff, the soldiers cut their axes out of the foothold and escorted Luo Chen down slowly. The soldiers have sacrificed quite a bit along the way, and Luo Chen felt guilty in his heart.

On this road, there is no enemy army to block, not even a single person in sight, and the most important thing is to fight against nature.

A week later, Oil River City will be right in front of you. After that, it was a flat road, followed by Mianyang and Chengdu. "It's amazing!" Lu Bu said excitedly, "Xu Da and the others are still struggling to pass the test."

The front of the sword pavilion. The Shu army gathered 100,000 horses to defend this place. Xu Da's army slowly drove in. Deng Xian felt that the horses under him took a step back uneasy and snorted. The enemy's formation was stern, something he had never seen before. Most of them wore black armor, the big "Luo" character was written on the handsome flag, and some had the character "Xu". There were a large number of armored cavalry on both sides of the enemy army, the armor reflected a forbidding light in the sun, and Deng Xian even noticed that all their horses were equipped with stirrups on both sides. The enemy's army was so dark that it was hard to see clearly, there should be infantry, chariots, archers and the like. Deng Xian secretly hoped that their cavalry would not be so many. The name of the fallen army cavalry elite has long been known all over the world. The fall army control area is Guanzhong and Xiliang, rich in horses. The foundation of the fallen cavalry is the Xiliang cavalry. Therefore, the number of fallen cavalry was large and extremely sturdy. In the Battle of Tongguan, countless troops of Cao's army became the ghosts of the fallen cavalry. For a time, the soldiers in the Central Plains were frightened and did not dare to confront the fallen cavalry. Now, these elites have drawn their sabers and began to prepare for battle.

Deng Xian felt a sense of fear being transmitted among the soldiers. This army has been on the sidelines for a long time, the soldiers are not strong, the equipment level is very poor, the cavalry is weak, and even the bow and arrow are in short supply. Deng Xian couldn't understand where Zhang Ren Yaowu's mighty aura came from.

An enemy general in white robe and silver armor with a long spear rushed to the front of the battle: "Yizhou people quickly surrender! Otherwise, come and die!"

Zhang Ren picked up his spear and hit his horse slightly forward. "Crazy thieves in the dust! The emperor is kidnapped! Now 410 is coming to attack me in Yizhou again, and I will kill you all!" Deng Xian thought that Zhang Ren was going to rush up, but he turned around and said to Lingbao: "Lingbao You fight him for a few rounds!"

Lingbao was helpless, and rushed forward with a horse belly. It was too late. The two sides ran towards each other on horseback. Lingbao raised his sword and hurriedly slashed it down. Unexpectedly, the local general flickered, and the spear was thrown from his right hand to his left, and easily pierced into Lingbao's chest. Lingbao shouted, fell off the horse and died, only one round.

The officers and soldiers of Shu were all astonished. Deng Xian heard Zhang Renxin whisper in a frightened voice, "It's so powerful, so powerful..."

Deng Xian was terrified, and he decided that even if Zhang Ren asked him to rush up, he would not go, and he would be killed by Zhang Ren himself. Obviously the enemy is strong and I am weak, isn't it stupid that Zhang Ren didn't enter the city to defend himself but came out to confront him head-on!

The enemy did not give Shu generals a chance to fight again. Deng Xian saw from a distance that the fallen army commander Xu Da drew out his saber and pointed forward. Suddenly, the enemy's drums roared loudly.

Some of the Shu troops in front were killed after barely resisting, and some became ghosts under the knife without reacting. The Shu army behind began to frantically disperse and flee! .

Chapter 22 Yan Yan

It was said that the Shu army had no fighting spirit, and they really felt what terror was. Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of Bai Liangliang's saber waving high, and a shrill scream came from behind. As if the knife fell on his head the next second, as if he was still alive at this moment, and the next moment he stepped into the gate of hell. There was only one thought in their minds: to escape, to escape desperately, to escape back to the city.

Zhang Ren stabbed the horse in the back with a spear, and the horse ran back to the city in fright. Not to be outdone, Deng Xian frantically whipped his whip and whipped his horse. The two generals fled at the front. How could the soldiers of the Shu army want to resist? Zhang Ren fled back to the city, and more than 10,000 soldiers poured into the city. The city was closed immediately, and the suspension bridge was pulled up, leaving 50,000 or 60,000 horses outside screaming.

"Put up the death-free flag!" Xu Da ordered, "Whoever descends will not be killed." The order was immediately executed. The Shu soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down and surrendered, but some were also killed by arrows shot down from the city.

Xu Da didn't even let the soldiers rest - in fact, except for the cavalry, most of the infantry chariots hadn't done much yet - and ordered a siege. Under Zhang Ren's desperate command, the Shu army began to resist stubbornly.

A letter of emergency was introduced to Chengdu by Pegasus. Liu Zhang once again called for civil and military discussions.

"Zhang Ren has been defeated, and now Jiange City is at stake." Liu Zhang said in a loud voice, "Everyone, what should I do?"

"There are still more than 150,000 troops in Chengdu, Mianzhu and other places, and 100,000 troops can be sent to emergency." Zhang Song jumped out. "My lord, there is no need to hesitate any longer."

Huang Quan was very surprised by this. This Zhang Song had a deep conflict with Zhang Ren. How could he save him? What a hell! Shouldn't he advocate for the defense to let Zhang Ren die...

"Mr. Zhang, the troops stationed in Chengdu and Mianzhu are the last military forces nearby. You want to bring them to the front line. What if there is an emergency in Chengdu?" Huang Quan questioned.

"Hehe, there is a situation in Chengdu...々ˇ..." Zhang Song looked disdainful, "Then ask Mr. Huang to analyze where the danger in Chengdu comes from? Can the enemy fly over the mountains and down to the city of Chengdu? You know, the enemy The main force of the army attacked the sword pavilion, and then came all the way... You are not suffering from paranoia!"

There was laughter all around.

Huang Quan was at a loss for words, and looked at Zhang Song with suspicion, seeing Zhang Song's heart pounding.

Yes, that General Yan Qing came again last night and told him that his mission was to greatly reduce the number of troops around Chengdu, and that they could all be transferred to the front line of Jiange. Zhang Song thought about this by himself, and a cold sweat broke out. Could it be that the fallen army can really appear under the city of Chengdu without knowing it... Then this is too terrifying, this falling dust is unfathomable. But he still accepted the task, he embarked on this road himself, and he didn't want to look back. Besides, it was inevitable for Luochen to win Yizhou... Good birds choose wood to live in, good ministers choose their masters, and I have nothing too much to do. of.

"What do you guys think?" Liu Zhang couldn't make up his mind.

"Chengdu is safe, the army should be mobilized to rush to the front line of Jiange..." The officials expressed their support for Zhang Song. Of course, each of them received a large amount of bribes from Zhang Song.

"Okay, let's do as Zhang Song said..." Liu Zhang, who had never advocated for himself, ordered in a loud voice, and then went back to the back hall.

Just as Xu Da's army was on the verge of conquering Jiange City, an accident happened. Everyone ignores that the various counties and counties in Yizhou have built their own defense armies over the years, and they have gathered a lot of strength. Yan Yan, the prefect of Ba County, is a famous veteran in Shu, who is good at using broadswords, bows and arrows, piercing Yang with a hundred paces. He was courageous and resourceful, and was highly respected, and was respected by all the generals and generals in the counties and counties of Yizhou. This Yan Yan heard that the Jiange was in danger, and without waiting for Liu Zhang's order, he immediately led more than 6,000 defenders to the Jiange. Yan Yan's appeal was quite strong, and other counties saw veteran Yan Yan go to Jiange and volunteered to gather troops to follow, and the force actually expanded to about 40,000.

Yan Yan led his army to approach Jiange quietly, and saw that Xu Da's army stormed the city, and the people on the city suffered heavy casualties and could no longer hold on. Yan Yan immediately led his troops to attack, but the fallen army was caught off guard and was defeated and fled. That Ma Chao was commanding the battle wholeheartedly, but unexpectedly rushed out of Yan Yan. He couldn't help but be furious. He waved his spear and went straight to Yan Yan. The two sides are coming and going, and there is no winner in the 20 rounds. Yan Yan feigned defeat and retreated with his horse. Ma Chao didn’t pay attention and chased after him. Yan Yan quickly held the bow and released the arrow. . Fortunately, Ma Chao is not an ordinary person. Although he underestimated the enemy and didn't pay attention, he reacted quickly, slammed his head to the ground, and bent down. Ma Chao broke out in a cold sweat: "This old thing is so powerful, if it wasn't for me to hide quickly..." Seeing that Yan Yan missed one shot, he fired the arrow again. At this time, Ma Chao was already prepared. When he saw the arrow coming, he said that it was too late, he raised his left hand, and he actually grabbed the arrow. Another arrow, Ma Chao didn't bother to dodge, so he blocked it with the goggles, and the arrow hit the goggles and slipped away.

Seeing that Yan Yan missed a few times, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Then Ma Chao swooped over, Yan Yan was timid, and his swordsmanship gradually became chaotic. Fortunately, Yan Yan was surrounded by Shu troops, and the fallen army was scattered, and the Shu army surrounded Ma Chao. Seeing this situation, Ma Chao did not continue fighting with Yan Yan. He quickly danced his spear and stood out from the siege. The Shu army did not pursue them and entered the city one after another.

The next day, more than 100,000 troops from the Chengdu side of the Shu army arrived at Jiange, and the troops commanded by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan instantly reached 150,000, and the total strength had surpassed Xu Da's. Of course, the men and horses in the city did not dare to go out of the city to counterattack for the time being. The combat effectiveness of the fallen army was too strong, especially the cavalry. The two sides formed a stalemate. Xu Da wants to capture the Jiange, which is even more difficult, it seems quite impossible, after all, 150,000 horses are not a joke. That Yan Yan was also much more difficult to deal with than (Hao Nuo's) Zhang Ren, and she was quite strategic.

".'My lord has passed Yinping, and there is still no news. Now my department can't move forward here. It's really worrying." Xu Da said worriedly at a meeting in the central army tent.

"When the lord leaves, the military advisor Zhuge is in charge of supervising the country. You can send someone over to ask for advice." Xiahou Yuan suggested.

"Then Zhuge Liang is quite young. It is said that he used to farm in Nanyang, but it is incomprehensible that the lord would let such a person supervise the country..." Ma Chao grumbled, "I should ask the general to get in touch with the lord immediately, and ask the lord to give instructions on what to do next. ."

Xu Da frowned, caught in a dilemma.

"Report! Chengdu Mianzhu Battle Report!" The soldiers outside the tent screamed. A sergeant came in: "General, Chengdu Mianzhu battle report! The lord led 20,000 horses to storm Mianzhu, and it will be broken soon. Chengdu Liuzhang Group is in chaos now!".

Chapter 23 Huang Quan

However, he said that Xu Da was in a dilemma. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and there was news that Luochen was approaching Chengdu. In the account, from Xu Da, Ma Chao, Xiahouyuan to the following generals and sergeants, all of them were happy.

"The lord is wise and martial," Xu Da said, "Now our mission is to violently attack frontal enemies and hold them back so that they can't return to help!"

Chengdu City is already in a mess.

There are only about 50,000 horses around, and the military heart is broken. The main force and the main generals are all on the front line of Jiange, and most of the people who stay in Chengdu are some civilians. From the Yizhou Shepherd's Mansion to the Chengdu City Well, everyone was panicking and talking a lot.

Huang Quan sat in the carriage, tidying up his clothes hastily. Liu Zhang urgently convened a meeting of senior officials in the city to discuss countermeasures. "Hurry up!" Huang Quan urged the groom. "Crack!" The crisp whip body and shouting sound replied to him. "Sir, there is a large group of people in front of us, do we want to take a detour?" the groom outside asked. Huang Quan stuck his head out and saw a young Taoist-like person preaching to the crowd. "Stop," Huang Quan ordered, "listen to what he has to say."

Yizhou Wudou Rice Religion is a branch of Taoism. Yizhou combines politics and religion, and the people believe in Taoism.

The young Taoist priest looked energetic and worried: "The sky was different in the southwest a few days ago! The star of Xi 480 South, which is as big as an egg, bright and unusually bright, has been crumbling recently, and it is dark and difficult to identify. My Yizhou is in danger. !" The surrounding people were discussing and seemed very panicked.

Seeing everyone panicked, the Taoist turned a blind eye, and then said: "In the northwestern Central Plains, there are stars moving southward, extremely bright and radiant! Now their rays have overshadowed the southwest stars, shining over the entire west."

"The Northwest Central Plains, isn't that the prime minister's territory?" someone in the crowd called out, "Now he's going to hit Chengdu!"

The Taoist priest did not respond directly, but nodded slightly: "The will of God cannot be violated, the will of God cannot be violated! Violate the will of God, there will be a catastrophe in Yizhou, there will be a catastrophe..."

When Huang Quan heard this, he couldn't help jumping out of the car: "You demon! You confuse everyone! Come on, get it for me!" The sergeant behind the car rushed over immediately with a knife. The Taoist priest didn't panic, only to see that he was light and strong, jumped on the roof gently, and left a sentence: "God's will cannot be violated! Surrender as soon as possible, you can be safe!" Then he ran away without a trace.

Huang Quan was furious, and such swear words may have spread all over the streets and alleys of babj, which must seriously affect the fighting spirit of the people and the army. That Taoist priest was exactly what Yan Qing was pretending to be.

When Huang Quan arrived at the lobby of the Yizhou Shepherd, he saw that Liu Zhang was crying silently. Some of the ministers bowed their heads silently, some wiped their tears, and even more so, they wept. Only Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were calm.

"Master," Huang Quan cupped his hands, then turned around and said to the ministers, "What's the use of crying! Now you need to cheer up and come up with a plan!"

Before that Zhang Song took the stage: "The current situation is extremely critical. I don't know if the lord knows that there are rumors of Taoist priests and children in the market, the sky is different, and the north star moves south. I advise the lord to follow the will of God and make a vassal to Luochen and let him go out of Yizhou, the lord. You can also save yourself…”

"Fart!" Huang Quan was furious, "You can also believe what the Daoist said!" He excitedly turned around and said to Liu Zhang: "Luochen's army only has less than 20,000 people, and I have 50,000 people around Chengdu. The defense, Chengdu city is tall, the moat is deep and wide, and the food and grass can last for a year, how can you be afraid! On the front line of Jiange, there are fierce generals such as Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, gathering more than 150,000 troops, and rushing back to Chengdu day and night, when the time comes Catch the dust alive, it is unknown!"
