Outside Yangping Pass.
Di Qing brought 50,000 troops, but did not order an attack on the city. He found that Zhang Lu's army was prepared, so he realized that the opportunity for this battle was lost, and ordered to set up camp fifteen miles outside the pass.
At nightfall, the sergeants were tired and took a rest.
The guards in each camp were also extremely lax.
That night, Zhang Lujun Yang Ang and Yang Ren led five thousand troops to rob the stronghold.
Along the way, Yang Ren couldn't help but advise Yang Ang.
"Yang Ang, are we not afraid of falling into a trap when we come to rob the stronghold so rashly?"
he asks.
"Today during the day, I saw that the morale of Yuan Ke's army was low and that they had no fighting spirit. I guessed that they must have been running for a long distance and their men and horses were exhausted, so their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. How can we not seize such a God-given opportunity?"
"Just in case, I sent three spies outside their camp to inquire about the situation. I found that Yuan Ke's army's guards were extremely lax. The soldiers guarding them were listless and didn't have much combat power at all."
"Tonight we entered the enemy's stronghold and set fire to their food and grass."
"Their food and grass are burned, so they will not be able to fight for long."
"In this way, our danger in Hanzhong will be resolved."
Yang Ang told Yang Ren his speculation.
"good!"
When Yang Ren heard this, he also felt that Yang Ang's analysis was quite reasonable, because he also found that Yuan Ke's soldiers were exhausted during the day.
I thought to comfort myself, maybe I was thinking too much just now.
If the camp is successfully robbed tonight, it will be a great achievement.
"kill!"
The moon was at the top of the sky. Yang Ang and his thousands of people reached the camp of Yuan Ke's army under the moonlight. Without hesitation, they immediately led their troops to kill the hundreds of guards in the camp. However, as soon as they came over, the guards immediately The rout spread.
"Oops, someone is robbing the village."
They sounded a warning.
"kill!"
Yang Ang brandished his sword and led his troops into Di Qing's camp. Seeing this, Yang Ren became increasingly uneasy. He was about to persuade Yang Ang to retreat, but found that Yang Ang had already led his troops into Di Qing's temporary camp.
"General Yang Ang, don't pursue him, for fear of being deceived."
Yang Ren shouted loudly, but found that Yang Ang didn't hear it at all, and still led his troops deep in. While they were charging and killing, they set fire to the camp, and the raging fire turned the sky red.
At this time, Yang Ang didn't notice anything different about the situation, and said that Yuan Kejun was too timid to come out to fight.
"Why are there no screams? No, we fell into a trap."
After a period of burning and killing, Yang Ang finally realized that something was wrong.
They had burned many tents just now, but not a single person screamed, and no trace of the enemy soldiers was found. The soldiers they were chasing just now were clearly leading them into the camp.
This is a trap.
In an instant, Yang Ang's whole back felt cold.
"Quick, get out!"
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late.
As soon as they were ordered to withdraw, they found tens of thousands of troops encircling them from a distance, and countless archers locked them.
"You can't leave."
Two fierce generals led the army out. They carried long spears and looked indifferently at Yang Ang, Yang Ren and other five thousand troops.
"kill!"
With an order, thousands of arrows were fired, Yang Ang's army was defeated, and there were countless casualties.
"Retreat quickly, all the troops will follow me to fight a bloody path."
"kill!"
This Yang Ang was also a strong general. Faced with such a desperate situation, he did not sit back and wait for death. He waved his sword left and right, blocking arrows, and wanted to lead his army to break out. However, within a few rounds, he was killed by dozens of random arrows.
thump!
Yang Ang fell off his horse and died.
"kill!"
After six rounds of arrow rain, Yuan Kejun's 10,000 infantrymen began to rush forward and hit Zhang Lujun who was still alive.
When all the dust settled, Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of the army, finally appeared.
He rode up to the surrendered soldiers of Yang Ren, and looked indifferently at Yang Ren, who was captured alive, and his hundreds of remaining soldiers, with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"Yang Ren, we are the emperor's disciples. Today we are ordered by the emperor to attack the traitor Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu killed the prefect Su Gu without any reason and planned to invade Hanzhong and separate Hanzhong. He committed a heinous crime."
"He deserves to die."
"The Great Sima is wise and powerful, and understands that you are all being deceived and coerced by him, and you are willing to do so. If you wish to surrender, let bygones be bygones."
"Are you willing to surrender?"
"Does the general mean what he said? If we surrender, will we really not be held accountable for our crimes?"
Yang Ren and others on the side also had different expressions when they heard this. They were tempted.
Zhang Lu was cruel and cruel, and treated his subordinates very harshly. They also complained about him, and of course they were not willing to die for him.
Now that there is hope of survival, how can they let it go?
"Da Sima's words are true to his words. As long as you surrender to the imperial court, you will live."
Di Qing said.
"General, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender."
Yang Ren's generals all called out.
"Yang Ren, what about you? Are you willing to surrender?"
Di Qing asked.
"I am also willing to surrender!"
Yang Ren gritted his teeth and said.
"good!"
.........
"Brothers, look quickly, the enemy camp in the distance is on fire. It seems that General Yang Ang and Yang Ren have succeeded."
"Our army won this battle."
"Very good!"
In Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei also discovered the fire in the camp in the distance.
"good!"
"Very good!"
"Yang Ang lived up to my general's high expectations. This time he burned Yuan Ke's army's food and grass, and they will no doubt retreat."
"The danger in Hanzhong has been resolved."
Zhang Wei was overjoyed when he saw this.
If this battle is won, Yuan Ke will not dare to raise troops to invade Hanzhong for at least a few years.
"General, as the saying goes, I want to kill you while you are sick. Why don't we go out of the city at this time and give Yuan Ke's army a fatal blow?"
Captain Qin Yang persuaded in a low voice.
"Is this appropriate?"
Zhang Wei was quite hesitant.
He was afraid that if all his troops were sent out, if Yuan Kejun had a conspiracy, Yangping Pass would be over.
"No, this plan is deeply inappropriate."
"Qin Yang, you are harming me."
He shook his head and refused to send troops.
"..."
When Qin Yang saw this, he was silent for a moment. Then, an idea flashed in his mind, and he had another bad idea.
Afterwards, he said to Zhang Wei: "General, this is wrong. Now, this incredible military achievement is in front of you. If you don't catch it, you will regret it too late."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Zhang Wei also became interested.
"General, look at the fire in the distance. It looks like a fake. General Yang Ang and Yang Ren must have succeeded."
"Now, Yuan Ke's army is in chaos. If we rush out of the city at this time, and cooperate with the two generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren, we will surely wipe out all the invading Yuan Ke's army."
"As long as you win, it's a great achievement."
"After this battle, General, your name will be spread throughout the Han Dynasty. At that time, even Master Zhang Lu will no longer accuse you of being incompetent."
Qin Yang said.
"Qin Yang, you spare no effort to persuade this general to send troops. What are you trying to do?"
Zhang Wei looked at Qin Yang teasingly.
"General, I don't have any other thoughts. I just hope that I can follow the general to make this extraordinary contribution. When the time comes, I can be appreciated by Lord Zhang Lu. From then on, I will be promoted and make a fortune, and I will rise to the top."
Qin Yang immediately knelt down on one knee and expressed his feelings to Zhang Wei.
"What a promotion, fortune, and rapid rise!"
"This is true."
"This general believes in you."
Zhang Wei heard this and was finally tempted.
He has always been despised by the world. Even his eldest brother Zhang Lu regarded him as a loser and a waste. Now, he vowed to do something big to show everyone and prove to the world that he, Zhang Wei, is not a waste. .
He can do it!
"Come here, pass on my military order. Leave three thousand troops to guard the home. The rest of the troops will follow my general out of the city to kill the thieves."
Ten minutes later, Zhang Wei personally led 50,000 troops towards Di Qing's military camp under the cover of darkness.
"Kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service!"
Qin Yang also waved his sword in response to Zhang Wei.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The charge didn't take long. Just halfway through, countless torches lit up in the mountains and forests on both sides. After that, countless arrows shot down like rain.
"No, there's an ambush and we fell into a trap."
"Quickly retreat!"
Zhang Wei is an idiot.
He had no knowledge of military affairs and had never led troops in a battle. Now, faced with an unexpected situation, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Ha ha--"
"Zhang Wei, my son, this place is your burial place today."
"All armies, listen to my orders and use all your strength to cover them up."
"Leave no one behind."
