When faced with the persuasion of Yang Ren, Yang Song and others, Yan Pu seemed a little embarrassed. Although he was loyal to Zhang Lu, the fall of Daxi Kingdom was already a certainty. Even if he did not think about himself, he should think about it. Hundreds of people in my family are considering it!
If Shangyong is still there, it may be able to survive for a while, and even have a chance to make a comeback, but now Shangyong City has been captured by Yang Jian's army, and Daxi Kingdom has no way to retreat, and the Shu army commanded by Liu Bang on the frontline battlefield Aggressively, Zhang Churang, Zhang Shan, Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Shicheng and other generals at Jiameng Pass were bitten by Zhang Ren's army again and were unable to escape.
The fall of Hanzhong City is imminent, who can save it?
"This...let me think about it again!"
Yan Pu did not reject Yang Ren's persuasion, nor did he directly agree. He still had a glimmer of hope for the Daxi Kingdom, hoping that Zhang Lu could make a comeback, and that Zhang Churang and Zhang Shan could lead the army back to defend Hanzhong.
"Master Military Advisor, can't you clearly see the current situation? Liu Bang's Shu army is coming fiercely. Even if we defend the city, what can we change? The food reserves in Hanzhong can only support our army for one and a half months. If within this one and a half months, If we cannot defeat the Shu army, our army will be defeated without a fight!"
Listening to Yang Ren's analysis, Yan Pu's face gradually turned livid, and then he sighed resentfully, and then said: "The Great Western Kingdom is in a critical stage of survival. Yan is not talented. He only hopes to be able to work in Shu." Before the army attacks the city of Hanzhong, I will do my best to assist my lord and repel the Shu army; if Hanzhong falls, I, Yan Pu, will be willing to follow you and go to Yuan Envoy!"
After Yang Ren and others heard what Yan Pu said, they were happy in their hearts, but their faces were calm, and they even suggested with worry: "Master Military Advisor, if you wait until the Shu army captures Hanzhong before transferring your family, I'm afraid it will be too late. According to Ren's opinion, how about moving the family out of Hanzhong first and then fighting with a last ditch effort? In this way, the military advisor will have no worries and can give it a go!"
Yan Pu's eyes were shining with excitement, and Yang Ren's suggestion simply spoke to his heart.
"That's very good, that's very good. I will inform my people today. As for how to move my people out of Hanzhong City, I leave it to you and Yuan Shijun!"
...
Jiamengguan!
Zhang Churang, Zhang Shan, Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other senior officials of Daxi Kingdom stood on the city wall, looking at the Shu army camp stationed not far outside the city, their brows were furrowed and their hearts were filled with worry.
Ever since Zhang Ren led the Shu army to Jiameng Pass, Zhang Chu and his group of Daxi generals have never had a peaceful night's sleep!
Every once in a while, Zhang Ren would send six-eared macaques and Fan Kuai to attack Jiameng Pass, attacking the city during the day and at night. The harassed Daxi officers and soldiers were exhausted and exhausted.
The most important thing is that Zhang Ren knew that taking turns to attack the city would have a great impact on the Shu army, so he ordered people to find several goats, hang the goats next to the war drums, and then have people tie branches to the tails of the horses. At night, a small group of troops were sent to create the noise of a night attack and disturb the rest of the Daxi soldiers in Jiameng Pass!
When the goat is frightened, it will kick its hooves violently, and the hooves will hit the war drum, making a loud sound. The branches on the horses' tails hang down to the ground. When the horses gallop, the branches will raise the dust on the ground, matching the darkness. In the dark night, the situation outside the city could not be seen clearly on the city wall. In this way, the Shu army created the illusion of a large army attacking the city.
The virtual reality made Zhang Churang and the others dare not relax, and they had to send many soldiers to guard the city wall every day to prevent the Shu army from attacking!
"Now Sun Kewang's army on the southern front has been defeated by Liu Bang. Liu Bang's troops are about to approach Hanzhong City. The lord has issued eighteen golden orders one after another, asking us to abandon Jiameng Pass and return to defend Hanzhong. This general is preparing to assemble the entire army from now on and abandon the Jiameng Pass, return to defend Hanzhong, what do you generals think?"
After Zhang Xianzhong said this, all the generals present were silent. He had guarded Jiameng Pass for so many days and now he was unwilling to give up. However, if the troops are not withdrawn, Hanzhong will fall. If the Lord It’s all gone. What’s the use of them guarding a pass alone?
No matter how reluctant you are, for the sake of the overall situation, you still have to give up.
"We have no objections. Everything is at the discretion of the general!"
Seeing that the soldiers present had no objections, Zhang Xianzhong nodded with satisfaction, and then saw him raising his arms and shouting, giving an order: "Pass the order, the whole army will be reorganized for three days. During these three days, everyone will eat and drink enough. After three days, Set off to the aid of Hanzhong, and burn all the grain, grass and baggage that cannot be taken away, leaving nothing for the Shu army."
Three days later, the Daxi army guarding Jiameng Pass retreated towards Hanzhong. Before retreating, under the instructions of Zhang Xianzhong, the Daxi soldiers burned all the grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and armor that could not be taken away. Only an empty pass was left for the Shu army.
In addition, at the suggestion of Zhang Shicheng and others, Zhang Xianzhong placed a large amount of kerosene and charcoal in Jiameng Pass, as well as a lot of firewood in many hidden places, and left a group of suicide squad members responsible for lighting the fire. , died together with the Shu army that entered Jiameng Pass!
As the Great Western Army withdrew from Jiameng Pass, this Jiameng Pass became an unclaimed land. Zhang Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Shu Army, sent many scouts to inquire about the intelligence in Jiameng Pass. After confirming the withdrawal of the Great Western Army, After the information about leaving Jiameng Pass was true, he could safely lead the Shu army into Jiameng Pass!
Just when Zhang Ren led his army into Jiameng Pass, he noticed something was wrong. The sticky kerosene and dark charcoal on the ground were all flammable. If a fire broke out in Jiameng Pass, the entire army would be destroyed. Overturned.
Just as Zhang Ren was hurriedly organizing his troops to evacuate, the daredevils from the Daxi Kingdom who were ambushing in Jiameng Pass emerged from the alleys one after another. Regardless of life and death, they held up torches and ignited one ignition point after another, igniting the entire Jiameng Pass. Pass turned into a sea of fire!
Thousands of Shu soldiers who were too late to exit Jiameng Pass were swallowed up by the raging flames. They wailed and rolled in pain in the sea of fire, but to no avail, and were eventually buried in the sea of fire with no bones left.
Zhang Ren was so frightened by the sudden change that he broke into cold sweat. While he was lucky that he could lead the army out of Jiameng Pass in time, he angrily cursed the Daxi Army as a hateful person...
"Send the order, all the soldiers in the army will put out the fire. After entering Jiameng Pass, rest for two days and then go to Hanzhong to join the lord and the others!"
After issuing the order, Zhang Ren led his soldiers to fight the fire.
