Leading troops to attack the enemy's main formation and kill the local general is a military order with a narrow escape from death.
But Zhang Ren didn't want to live.
The two defeats at Fucheng and the loss of Mianzhu Pass had nailed Zhang Ren to the pillar of shame. Now Zhang Ren had only one purpose - to wash away his humiliation by dying in battle.
This was Zhang Ren's original intention to pray to Liu Xun to take him on an expedition, so Liu Xun sent him to carry out this mission of a narrow escape, and Zhang Ren had no complaints at all.
Moreover, Liu Xun didn't really want Zhang Ren to die in vain. He gathered a dozen cavalry and more than 200 elite soldiers for Zhang Ren.
These people are already the limit that Liu Xun can draw out, and Liu Xun can't give him any more.
If Zhang Ren could kill Zhang Xi and relieve the siege of the South Gate, then regardless of life or death, Liu Xun would ask Liu Zhang for credit and treat Zhang Ren's family well.
If Zhang Ren fails to kill Zhang Xi, then Liu Xun's own family members don't know what will happen to them, so there is no time to care whether Zhang Ren's family members live or die.
It's not that Liu Xun is evil, the situation is such that he, Liu Xun, also sacrificed his life to defend Luocheng, so he really can't take care of so much.
Zhang Ren naturally knew his current situation and remained silent. After taking over the command of the soldiers, he left the city without saying a word.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the handsome flag at Zhangxi camp outside the south gate, tightened the spear in his hand, and then with a loud roar, he clamped the horse's belly, without any warning, in the direction of Zhangxi's formation, Just rushed over.
Behind Zhang Ren, there were naturally two hundred elite soldiers. However, these elite soldiers were only infantry and could not keep up with the dozen or so cavalry led by Zhang Ren. Therefore, their tasks were different from Zhang Ren's.
Zhang Ren rushed forward and led more than a dozen cavalry to attack Zhang Xi's main formation. These soldiers followed Zhang Ren's assault route and rushed into the catapult position at the front of Zhang Xi's camp, waiting for an opportunity to burn the catapult.
Zhang Ren was on a desperate charge, so along the way, he didn't care about the so-called defense at all, and just stared in the direction of Zhang Xi's flag.
As for Zhang Xi, to be honest, after traveling through so many years, this was the first time that someone stared at him and beat him up.
In the past, Zhang Xi always stared at other people's generals and attacked them.
This feeling is quite fresh and a bit creepy.
But after all, Zhang Xi has been in the army for many years and knows the importance of general flags. Moreover, Zhang Xi does not like surfing as much as Sun Shiwan. He is too timid. How could he not strengthen the protection of his own formation.
Zhang Xi's formation is composed of Jingzhou soldiers who have trained in the Yuanyang Formation.
Not to mention that there are 15,000 soldiers protecting the perimeter of Zhang Xi's main formation. How could Zhang Ren's dozen or so cavalry possibly charge in?
Not to mention a dozen cavalry, even if there were ten times more, they would not be able to break through such a defense line and attack Zhang Xi's main formation.
Therefore, Zhang Xi remained relatively calm. He took Pang Tong and huddled in the tent, and drank and chatted with Pang Tong under the protection of more than a dozen long-card soldiers.
Pang Tong looked at the dozen long-card soldiers around him, and then listened to the sounds of fighting outside, which were extremely weak. The opponent only had a dozen cavalry.
This Zhang Yuanchang is too much
Well, there are some things that Pang Tong is hard to say.
It is a good thing to be cautious, but Zhang Yuanchang is a little bit greedy. Is this considered a fear of death? !
But what about Zhang Xi's achievements in leading troops in battles over the years? No matter what, Pang Tong could not associate Zhang Xi with greed for life and fear of death. He just felt that Zhang Xi was a bit too "cautious".
"Yuan Zhang, why should a mere dozen cavalry be so careful?!" Pang Tong helplessly persuaded Zhang Xi.
It's not a big mistake to be cautious, but if you do it like the last time you fought Zhang Ren in Fucheng, you will easily miss the opportunity to expand your results.
Zhang Xi glanced at Pang Yi and said to herself, "Who do you think I am for?" !
When I was in E County, the city was raining down arrows, so I wasn't surrounded by more than a dozen shields like I am now.
I'm really not being timid this time, I'm doing it just in case. It's Zhang Ren. God knows if there is a crossbow skill bonus, but you, the little phoenix, are still sitting in my Chinese army tent.
What if someone moves coquettishly and shoots an arrow? Zhang Xi is not afraid that this guy can shoot him to death, but it's hard to say about Pang Tong.
We have already been prepared to this extent. If you are hit by a stray arrow again, wouldn't it be a failure? !
So, it's better to be cautious.
Zhang Ren was wreaking havoc outside, but it didn't last long. After all, there were only a dozen cavalry and more than 10,000 soldiers. If he could pull off some tricks, Zhang Xi should consider whether Zong Yu, who was in charge of military affairs outside, was just in name. .
In fact, Zong Yu did not disappoint Zhang Xi. Soon, he appeared in front of Zhang Xi with Zhang Ren tied up.
Zhang Xi still did not let the shield soldiers disperse, but looked at Zhang Ren through the shield soldiers and asked Zong Yu, "Can I search you?!"
Wouldn't it be very dangerous if this guy had some hidden weapon like the "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle" hidden in his body? !
Zong Yu didn't expect Zhang Xi to be so "cautious". He squatted down speechlessly and groped Zhang Ren for a while, making Zhang Ren's face turn red.
Not shy, just angry.
Unable to wash away the humiliation, he was defeated and captured without even touching the edge of the Chinese military tent. Zhang Ren was already determined to die. Who knew that he would suffer such humiliation before his death.
Zong Yu made sure that Zhang Ren didn't have any sharp blades on him, so he reported it to Zhang Xi. Then Zhang Xi took Pang Tong with him, drove away the shield soldiers, and appeared in front of Zhang Xi.
"General, are you willing to surrender?!" At this time, Zhang Xi symbolically began to go through the process of persuading surrender.
Well, this is Zhang Ren anyway. Regardless of romance or history, he will not surrender until he is beaten to death.
"Since I've been captured, how can I not surrender?"
"In that case, push it out?!"
Zhang Xi's eyes widened in confusion. Could this be Zhang Ren? !
Zhang Xi was stunned.
Pang Tong on the side couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly said to Zong Yu, "Why don't you untie General Zhang quickly?!"
Everyone has surrendered, and you are still there in a daze. How rude.
Upon hearing this, Zong Xu immediately stepped forward and untied Zhang Ren.
Zhang Xi immediately realized something was wrong. This Zhang Ren had no reason to surrender.
"Wait!"
Zhang Xi shouted loudly, but then, seeing Zhang Ren already halfway up, he immediately pulled Pang Tong, took two steps back, and shouted, "Where are the guards!"
Pang Tong was stunned by Zhang Xi, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground when Zhang Xi pulled him like this.
The shield soldiers on the side were also confused for a while, but fortunately the muscle memory developed by the military orders was still there. Zhang Xi shouted and immediately moved closer to Zhang Xi.
At this time, Zhang Ren had already broken free from the restraints. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Zhang Xi, trying to get past the shield soldiers and go straight to Zhang Xi.
Yes, Zhang Ren has no weapons now, but Zhang Ren is skilled in martial arts. It is still very easy to surprise Zhang Xi when the enemy is unprepared.
A fist as big as a casserole can crush someone to death.
Zhang Ren didn't want to leave alive anyway.
But Zhang Xi was more alert than Zhang Ren thought. He had already surrendered, but this guy actually didn't relax his vigilance against him and actually took two steps back in advance.
It was Zhang Xi's two steps back that summoned the shield soldiers to protect him in time, blocking Zhang Ren's path dangerously and dangerously.
At this time, Zong Yu also realized that he was in trouble. He had no time to draw his sword, so he jumped up from behind, hugged Zhang Ren, and together with the shield soldiers, controlled Zhang Ren again.
Zhang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Pang Tong was so shocked that his back went cold.
Can people these days still have some credibility? They have already surrendered and are still attacking? !
At this time, Zhang Ren was powerless and could only curse angrily.
"Thieves, kill my people and plot against my state and county. You will not die a good death!"
"Traitors, teachers with no faith, and soldiers with no justice, you and your lord will die sooner or later!"
"Evil thief, me."
"Okay, okay, it's almost done!" Zhang Xi finally came to his senses and listened to Zhang Ren yelling and scolding. The lines were still so familiar that he couldn't help but said, "Do you still want to eat my flesh? Sleep with me." Pi, is your surname Ma or Zhu?!"
Zhang Ren looked baffled when he was told this.
"As a man, you can't change your name, but you can't change your surname. Your grandfather's surname is Zhang, Ren is a dog thief, and his surname is Ma and Zhu!!!"
Well, it’s good to scold. It doesn’t matter which one you’re scolding.
But it doesn’t matter.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the general came from a poor family, but I don't know the name general. Why?!" Zhang Xi continued to ask.
Anyway, he is about to die. There is a little problem, and Zhang Xi wants to figure it out.
In this day and age, it is quite impolite to call someone by their first name, so Zhang Xi asked Zhang Ren what his last name was.
Another thing is that Zhang Xi himself is very curious about this matter. After all, there is no record in history or romance.
According to Pei Songzhi's "Yibu Qijiu Miscellaneous Notes", Zhang Ren was born in a poor family and was not a commoner. A poor family is still a poor family. It shouldn't even have a word, right? !
But Zhang Ren is confused now. Are you okay? You don't want to kill me, but you ask me my name? !
What? ! Do you want to get close to someone and persuade him to surrender? !
"What does this matter to you?!" Zhang Renyi turned his head and said disdainfully.
Zhang Xi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Seeing that you are also a loyal general, of course I want to kill you, but I must leave your name behind so that future generations will remember it. It's not a big deal. military situation."
Zhang Xi just wanted to figure out this problem before Zhang Ren died, and really had no other ideas.
But Zhang Ren didn't think so. He was blushing all the way down to his neck.
Therefore, he scratched his neck and said, "If you want to kill, just kill, no need to say more!"
Zhang Xi was immediately puzzled.
Just ask, why are you so excited? Your face is red and your neck is thick.
Pang Tong couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly came over and pulled Zhang Xi to shut him up.
Not every poor family can have a font size like yours, Zhang Xi.
If Zhang Ren had no words, it would be quite rude for Zhang Xi to ask him now.
Another one, you are not as good at persuading me to surrender! ! !
