Amid the smoke and dust rising into the sky, a huge castle stood on a broad plain, surrounded by a deep moat. The Han River almost occupied the two walls of the southeastern city. The soldiers guarding the city were all elite armed. This is also the reason why Fazheng must rescue Hanzhong.
Ma Chao was wearing shining armor, holding a horse spear in his hand, and stared at the enemy in the south with a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.
By his side, there were only 10,000 horses, 3,000 cavalry, and 7,000 infantry.
The ambush troops there poured out and quickly rushed over, charging quickly in a very common formation, with the shield bearers in front, the spearmen in the middle, and the archers behind.
"call out!"
Like huge raindrops breaking through the sky, cold light flashed. Ma Chao immediately put his shield hand in front, and was hit by three rounds of arrow rain. He let out a muffled groan and fell off his horse, and then the opponent's hand rushed over directly. Caught in Ma Chao's vanguard formation, a life-and-death strangulation began.
Ma Chao had protected his horse when the arrows came. Now he was riding the horse again, waving the horse spear in his hand, and gave the order to charge.
In an instant, the earth shook, and the soldiers' shouts of killing resounded throughout the world.
Ma Chao did not rush to fight, he knew the dangers in Hanzhong, and the prince of the supervising country pacified Xixia and returned to Beijing in triumph.
This means that the Great Qian Qi has not been exhausted. Not only that, it may be even stronger than before.
The righteousness they insisted on turned into malice, and the slogans they shouted were full-scale rebels.
After the news of the Prince's return to the capital was uncontrollable and spread among the military camps, some soldiers escaped in the middle of the night.
There's nothing we can do about it.
If they can't capture the capital in a short time, they won't be able to lead the soldiers to plunder. Not to mention that they can't plunder, they also have to face a prince who has just pacified Xixia, and face the extremely powerful Daqian Imperial Army.
The soldiers were naturally very scared.
It was also at that time that Ma Chao knew that his lord would not succeed.
But he is kind to himself. Others can run away, but he cannot. Others can surrender to the enemy, but he cannot.
In life, one must always pay attention to credit and kindness.
At this moment, Ma Chao was holding a horse, and under the retinue of his own soldiers, he led his light cavalry to kill through the ranks of the ambush soldiers. His spear went over and swept down a piece of it, just like dropping dumplings.
At this moment, Ma Chao's bravery as a warrior was truly revealed, galloping around like a pig butchering a dog!
Looking around, the ambush Zhang Lu cavalry was completely restrained, like headless flies. The more than 30,000 ambush soldiers were at a disadvantage against the 10,000 men led by Ma Chao. Screams rang out, and many cavalry were swept off their horses. He was trampled to death by horses. The courage of one man cannot defeat ten thousand men.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see the white-robed soldiers led by Ma Chao forming a "pin"-shaped battle formation. Ma Chao is at the forefront of the "pin"-shaped formation, truly leading the way.
The ambush formation, which was originally a square formation, rushed over in a mighty manner, but was pierced by Ma Chao at once.
Looking upstairs from the camp, Zhang Lu was extremely anxious when he saw this. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He shouted urgently: "Pu Hu, bring someone over here, rush, bring someone out."
Flags were waved and military orders were issued.
Pu Hu, who was already well prepared in the camp, immediately raised the horse in his hand, pointed at the battlefield in the distance, and shouted: "Kill!"
The fence of the camp was quickly opened, and ten thousand cavalry rushed out immediately.
"Lord, please send troops to support General Ma." Fazheng reminded from the side.
It is worth mentioning that there were also Three Kingdoms in this era, but the history of the Three Kingdoms was somewhat different from the history that Xiao Yi remembered. For example, Jin Ma Chao did not exist, and Ma Teng's son had another name in this era.
For example, there is no Zhang Lu from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Shu, but Zhang An.
That is to say.
Zhang Lu, Ma Chao, and Fazheng should actually be considered the people Xiao Yi knew in his previous life, but at this time.
Let’s talk about returning to the battlefield.
Liu Zhu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glanced at the entire battlefield, his eyes were so red that he felt his heart was bleeding.
Since he raised his army, he has been very ambitious, thinking that by uniting with Zhao Xuanjia, he can bring chaos to the world.
Who knows, man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
Xiao Zheng, King of Yan at Baoding Pass, actually occupied Jiangdong. When they sent troops to the capital, they actually sent a large army to stop them.
It stands to reason.
It shouldn’t be!
Xiao Zheng owns the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun and is a disciple of the Shenyue Mountain of the Daqian Army.
Can Prince Xiao Yi really tolerate Xiao Zheng's existence?
Xiao Zheng really didn't have that intention and actually stopped them from attacking the capital!
Can't figure it out.
Because of Xiao Zheng's obstruction, they failed to steal Daqian's capital while Prince Xiao Yi was attacking Xixia.
This step was wrong.
The next step is really wrong.
Now he has become a homeless dog.
Just when Liu Zhu was thinking wildly, Fazheng reminded him again that the enemy troops had rushed up to support the ambush in the south. If he did not rescue him, General Ma would surely fall into danger.
Liu Zhu woke up and realized that this was a life and death crisis. How could he be allowed to think wildly? He immediately gritted his teeth and roared: "Yang Zhi, you bring 10,000 troops to support General Ma!"
Yang Zhi immediately cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Immediately, he urged the horses to come out, summoned his generals, and rushed over.
"clang."
The two horses passed each other, sparks flying.
Pu Hu snorted coldly, feeling that the arm holding the iron gun was sore and heavy, and his heart felt a little stuffy. He clamped his legs tightly on the horse to stand still, and looked at the burly Ma Chao in surprise.
This guy has so much strength!
He is indeed a tiger general under Liu Zhu, a famous general in Hanzhong. This strength is really too great.
With this level of force, he would be defeated if he couldn't withstand more than a dozen rounds.
Pu Hu frowned, pointed his gun at Ma Chao, and felt blessed. He first shouted out what Zhang Lu had told him before, and shouted: "Commanders, listen to the order, kill the bandit leader, the deputy commander will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, three mansions, Promoted to the third level!"
Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang also came from aristocratic families in Shu, and they had plenty of money.
As long as you can win this battle.
Even if it is one hundred thousand taels of silver, they are willing to collect it as a reward.
If not for the money.
It was impossible for Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and Xue Ju to raise an army of 100,000, nor besiege Wei Yan in Hanzhong.
A reward of 10,000 taels of silver, three mansions, and a three-level official promotion, fight for it!
Ma Chao was not afraid, and stared at Pu Hu coldly. At the same time, he asked the guards to come forward. He knew that he was now a hot commodity.
Then, at this moment, another "da da" sound was heard, and it was Yang Zhi who had already rushed over with his men and horses, like a white tide, disrupting Pu Hu's flanks.
"General Ma, let me help you!"
At this moment, Ma Chao can breathe a sigh of relief with the addition of this new force.
When Zhang Lu saw another 10,000 people rushing out from Liu Zhu's side, he snorted coldly. He had already prepared and sent 10,000 more horses to attack.
For a moment, the sound of fighting sounded again across the battlefield.
Ma Chao's 10,000 troops are now running out of troops, and they are breaking out of the encirclement in the direction of Yang Zhi.
Pu Hu tried his best to direct the soldiers to stop Ma Chao. He himself did not dare to continue fighting with Ma Chao, and directly led people to harass Yang Zhi's flank.
As Zhang Lu once again let 10,000 troops join the battle and rushed towards Yang Zhi's flank, a two-sided attack suddenly formed, leaving Yang Zhi's troops in a stalemate for a while.
There is only one Chinese army left on Liu Zhu's side, about 50,000 people.
He doesn't dare to move yet.
Because I don’t know how many more people there are in Zhang Lu’s camp.
However, when he did not move, Zhang Lu issued an order. The ambush soldiers who had already ambush saw the blue flag on the watchtower of the camp and immediately launched an attack on Liu Zhu's rear army.
At the same time, Xue Ju also received the news, stationed ten miles away to the north, and led his troops to attack.
A war will break out.
On the city wall, Wei Yan has been watching the battle.
Seeing this scene, I thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Gather the entire army and stop guarding Hanzhong City. The entire army will follow me to attack to welcome the lord!"
Hanzhong City cannot be defended.
This is an idea that Wei Yan had long ago.
Now, when he saw the battlefield ahead, he knew that Liu Zhu did not want to enter the city.
If you really want to enter the city, this is not the way to go.
have to say.
There is a reason why Wei Yan can become Liu Zhu's right-hand man.
"Boom!"
The pontoon was lowered and the city gates opened.
Wei Yan rushed forward with his men.
Seeing this, Zhang Lu immediately ordered people to attack the city in the north!
However, some people in Hanzhong City did not want to surrender just like that. Some people actually sent people to take over the task of protecting the city. They relied on the city walls and arrow towers to attack the attacking army with dense arrows and scalding hot oil.
At the same time, giant catapults threw heavy stones at the attackers, causing screams and bloody scenes.
Wei Yan galloped towards the battlefield, and with a series of fierce attacks, Zhang Lu's army began to flee in an instant.
A fierce hand-to-hand battle unfolded in front of Hanzhong City, with both sides trying their best with unyielding spirit.
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded from the rear of the siege army, and a supporting army attacked Liu Zhu from the flank, disrupting the formation of the defenders.
Liu Zhu was also stunned for a moment and said urgently: "Keep the formation and approach Hanzhong City!"
At this moment, looking around, there are enemy cavalry everywhere, with a huge momentum, and a steady stream of soldiers are rushing towards them from behind.
Wei Yan raised his head and looked in the direction of Liu Zhu, his face changed, and without hesitation, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight out!"
In the formation, Yang Zhi could no longer hold on.
There are simply too many enemy troops.
After Wei Yan rushed out of the city, Zhang Lu's Chinese army also went into battle.
Because Zhang Lu saw Xue Ju's army, he immediately sent troops to show Xue Ju the way and let him know where Liu Zhu's central army was.
"How dare you, rat!"
Yang Zhi shouted loudly and slashed out the spear in his hand. There was a "clang" sound, and the saber in the hand of the man who attacked him immediately came out. A ferocious face showed fear, and Gein's arms were numb.
Then, before he could dodge, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light, felt a pain in his neck, and fell into endless darkness.
Although Yang Zhi was brave and good at fighting, he could not withstand the spears and sabers thrust from all directions. After a while, his movements became a little sluggish.
But after a while, another person wanted to make a sneak attack.
"Dang!"
With sparks flying and piercing screams, Yang Zhi's soldiers raised their swords at the side, swayed on the horse, lay on the horse's neck, and spit out a large mouthful of blood on the spot, which was soaked in the horse's mane. .
"General, leave quickly!"
When Yang Zhi saw this, he became very anxious. He swung his sword to kill the stragglers. Regardless of the injury to his ribs, he started heading southeast.
At this moment, Ma Chao broke out of the encirclement and approached Yang Zhi's men.
At this moment, Ma Chao's shirt on his shoulders was dripping with blood, and his flesh and blood were turning up. He screamed: "General Yang, please turn your horse's head immediately to break through the encirclement. I will cut off the rear!"
Yang Zhi is not a pushy person. At this time, it is impossible to consider other things. The only reason is to survive.
Wei Yan participated in it later, and the 40,000 troops he led had been training in Hanzhong and guarding the city, so in terms of energy, they were pretty good.
However, Ma Chao, Yang Zhi and others were on the road continuously and suffered several defeats. Their morale was far lower than that of Wei Yan.
Wei Yan also watched the battle all the way to the southeast. The enemy forces near the Han River were relatively weak, so he directly led his soldiers and horses to fight in the southeast.
Charging along the Han River, they actually cut a bloody path.
However, Liu Zhu's Chinese army had been smashed into pieces by Xue Juchong and divided into several parts.
When Wei Yan came out, he also suffered heavy losses.
Seeing Liu Zhu's army in panic, Liu Zhu's banner also flew over.
However, what's the use here?
Hanzhong City cannot be defended!
To the south was the Han River, and they had no ships.
It's a dead end!
"kill!"
Wei Yan had no choice but to continue charging with his men.
He plans to rescue Yang Zhi and others.
"call……!"
Autumn breeze blows.
Smoke and dust were everywhere.
Hanzhong City has been breached.
Zhang Lu immediately sent troops to take over Hanzhong City, and planted the Daqian flag on the east city gate.
He said to Xu Yuanshu beside him: "Your Majesty, after today, Shuzhong will return to Daqian."
"I also ask the envoy to make it clear to His Highness that Sichuan is originally the capital of heaven, and what the people in Sichuan always want is to live and work in peace and contentment."
"We are the same and are willing to govern Shuzhong for His Highness."
Xu Yuanshu nodded.
Watching Zhang Lu and Xue Ju's coalition forces force Liu Zhu's army to slowly approach the Han River.
"call out!"
"call out!"
Pu Hu looked at the opportunity and fired a cold arrow.
Ma Chao also had more arrows on his body.
"puff!"
Another stab in the body.
"Bang!"
I don’t know how many war horses have been replaced.
Now, the horse under him was stabbed to death again, and he also fell down.
At the beginning, he could still jump or turn over quickly, and the guards around him would immediately give way to their horses.
But this time, Ma Chao failed to stand up quickly, and none of the guards around him came forward to help him.
"call out!"
Another cold arrow.
Ma Chao looked in the direction of Hanzhong City and knelt down.
Wei Yan finally met Liu Zhu.
"Lord!"
Liu Zhu's eyes were red and he seemed to have shed tears. When he saw Wei Yan, he still had no trace of his former ambition.
"General Wei..."
Liu Zhu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
Fazheng failed to follow.
Sun Qian didn't know where he was.
There was only him, and ten thousand men.
At this moment.
On one side is the Han River.
On one side are enemy troops.
It seems that he only has one last chance.
After agreeing to meet Wei Yan, he immediately left for Yizhou.
pity.
Fa Zheng underestimated the human heart.
Liu Zhu also underestimated people's hearts.
Daqian's national destiny is strong and his momentum is not yet exhausted. The name of the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom is enough to be famous all over the world.
His act of justice turned into a joke.
