Chapter 916: Liu Zhang's Fight (I)
When the soldier who was carrying the wooden box heard this, he couldn't help but show a little shocked, only then did he know that the wooden box contained the head of the envoy who had been sent to Xichuan by Wen Han recently.
When he was young, Zhang Song was anxious to attend and bow down.
"The minister is incompetent, and I hope that the lord will surrender!"
Zhang Song thought that with the current situation and Liu Zhang's cowardly temperament, he would be sure to surrender, but he didn't expect that Liu Zhang's courage came from nowhere, and he dared to kill the Northwest Envoy and declare war on Wen Han, the Northwest giant!
"Ziqiao, please, this matter has nothing to do with you. Liu Jiyu wants to carry me to the death, why don't Ben Hou accompany him!? Pass on my order, all troops and horses are ready to fight on the same day, and when the baggage is gathered, they will immediately march to Jiameng Pass! Ben Hou wants Liu Jiyu to know the price of angering my people in the northwest! ”
Wen Han's sword eyes shimmered, domineering, and as soon as the order fell, Li You, Cheng Gongying, Zhang Song and other strategists responded in unison, and immediately withdrew from the palace to inform Wen Han's order.
Half a month later, Wen Han raised 30,000 troops in Anhan, Zhao Yun led 8,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard army to march to Jiameng Pass first, Wen Han personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Pang De, Wei Yan and other generals were the Chinese army, and the general Xu Rong led 12,000 soldiers and horses as the rear army, responsible for escorting the baggage. The three armies started, and 30,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest were mighty, and they were all over the mountains and fields to kill Jiameng Pass again.
At the same time, Liu Zhang also gathered more than 10,000 soldiers, 30,000 young and brave, and Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Liu Ba, Deng Xian and other generals came to help. Zhang Ren and Liu Bei were overjoyed when they heard that Liu Zhang wanted to fight to the death with Wen Han, and when Liu Zhang's army rushed to Jiameng Pass ten miles away, Zhang Ren and Liu Bei led the generals out of the pass to greet them.
The wind and dust are rolling outside the gate, the flag covers the sun, Zhang Ren looks at it, and sees a line of people surging between heaven and earth, all of them are soldiers and horses from the army, and then look at it, only to see Liu Zhang riding a white horse and a golden saddle, a jade belt brocade clothes, a warrior holding a big red Luo pin gold umbrella cover, playing the red dragon flag, guarding left and right, more than 8,000 people, divided into four teams, each team of 2,000, according to the green, red, white, black four colors, flags and horses, and according to the true color, brilliant, at first glance, extremely majestic. When the defenders saw the majestic reinforcements, they all cheered loudly.
Liu Bei looked at it, but frowned, Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses looked gorgeous, but the formation was messy, and the pace of the soldiers was chaotic, and if you looked at it carefully, you guessed that most of the soldiers in his army were untrained recruits. How can such soldiers and horses resist the Northwest Army, which is famous for its elite prestige!
Liu Bei was full of thoughts for a while, and he didn't feel a lot of worry in his heart. After a while, Zhang Ren got up, Liu Bei and a group of Xichuan generals followed, rushed to the army led by Liu Zhang, and dismounted to meet him. Liu Zhang endured the uneasiness in his heart, laughed, first appeased Liu Bei, and then praised Zhang Ren and the others one by one. After the ceremony, Liu Zhang led the generals, quite mighty, led the army into the customs, and each team of soldiers and horses rested first.
At the same time, Liu Zhang gathered a group of Xichuan civil and military forces to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy in the war building. Although there are about 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jiameng Pass, more than half of them are brave and untrained, in other words, most of the army is a rabble.
If such soldiers and horses had to compete with Wen Han's Northwest Army, they would undoubtedly lose more than win. At present, most of the ministers at the table are frowning deeply, and they dare not speak lightly. Liu Bei's expression froze, and he bowed his hand to Liu Zhang.
"The Northwest Army is approaching, and Wen Bufan is coming from afar, and it will not last long. My brother has a plan, I wonder if my brother is willing to listen? ”
When Liu Zhang heard this, his face was happy, and he hurriedly asked.
"Planned from An? Brother, come quickly! ”
Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, glowing with a shining light, and said in a condensed voice.
"You can ride out of the camp on foot, and you will lead the rest of the people to stay inside. If the text is not ordinary if it is prepared, the clan brother will lead the troops to hit its back, and if it comes to attack, the preparation will lead the troops to save the back. Our army is so entangled with it, but on the tenth day, the Northwest Army is exhausted, but it can be broken with one drum, this is the momentum of the horns! ”
As soon as Liu Bei's strategy fell, Zhang Ren bowed his head and said.
"Uncle Huang's plan is very clever, the lord should follow it!"
Liu Zhang was originally a person who had no opinions, and when he heard Zhang Ren say this, he immediately agreed to Liu Bei's plan, and then pulled out 20,000 horse infantry and Liu Bei. Liu Bei led his troops, and combined with Tai Shici, Hua Xiong and other generals, and camped on a hill outside the pass to prepare for the upcoming battle. At the same time, Huang Quan came to admonish again, the so-called grinding guns in battle is not fast, and Huang Quan taught Liu Zhang to train soldiers and horses under the pass at the moment to prepare for war. Liu Zhang complied, and then ordered Zhang Ren, Gao Pei and other generals to practice bravery day and night under the pass.
For a while, the shouting and shouting of Jia Meng was like a shaking mountain, and Liu Zhang personally supervised it to boost morale.
Liu Zhang made preparations, and the Xichuan army, from the generals to the soldiers, all knew that the next big battle would be related to the safety of the entire Xichuan land, and the generals and soldiers were all working hard to prepare for a death battle. When he was in danger, Liu Zhang also changed his cowardly temperament in the past and became a little tougher.
However, Liu Zhang's toughness was soon shattered under the majesty of the Northwest Vanguard Army.
Let's say that Zhao Yun led eight thousand iron horsemen to gallop all the way to Jiameng Pass, ten miles away. As soon as Liu Zhang heard Zhao Yun's name, his face turned pale with fright, and he panicked. Seeing this, Yang Huai attended with anger and shouted loudly.
"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the minister is willing to lead the army to meet the attack, and he will definitely capture Zhao Zilong!"
Yang Huai and Gao Pei are known as Xichuan Tingzhu, and their status in the army, except for Zhang Guyi, the metropolitan governor who commands the power of Xichuan soldiers and horses, these two people have the highest prestige. Yang Huai's eyes are too high, except for Zhang Ren, no one is convinced, and he wants to take a moment in front of Liu Zhang, make immortal achievements, and become famous!
Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to make Yang Huai attack. At this moment, Zhang Ren frowned deeply, and said with a solemn face.
"Wait! Zhao Zilong's martial arts are peerless, no one in the world can match him, and he must not be careless in the slightest when he fights against him! If General Yang wants to go to meet the attack, he still needs a fierce general to go with him! ”
While Zhang Ren spoke, his eyes silently turned to Ma Chao. Ma Chao comprehended and was about to attend the request. Yang Huai said coldly.
"You don't have to! Zhao Zilong waved his army to come, trekking from a long distance, the sharp edge was reduced, and our army was overwhelmed! A person with 3,000 elite soldiers can defeat this person, if he does not, he is willing to accept the military order!! ”
Yang Huai didn't want to be underestimated by Zhang Ren, and he shouted loudly at the moment, every word was loud and loud, as if he was confident. Liu Zhang saw that Yang Huai was full of confidence, and thought that he had immortal martial arts, so he actually believed it a little, and laughed.
"Haha! General Yang dared to make a military order, so he was naturally sure! According to General Yang's wishes, I hope that General Yang will not live up to my high hopes! ”
"No! The last general will complete the mission and bring that Zhao Zilong's head to see him! ”
Yang Huai gave up his hand proudly, Zhang Ren saw Yang Huai like this, his heart was in a hurry, and he hurriedly went to persuade him. Ma Chao, who was on the side, saw that Yang Huai didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he secretly sneered. Yang Huai didn't know what to do with Zhang Ren's advice, but felt that Zhang Ren despised him and ignored it. At that moment, after Yang Huai told Liu Zhang to retreat, he went down to order troops and prepare to go out.
Zhang Ren, as the governor of Xichuan, is clear about the ability of the generals under his command, Yang Huai is not Zhao Yun's opponent at all, but Yang Huai is arrogant and can't listen to persuasion at all, and Liu Zhang doesn't know the stakes, so he obeys Yang Huai and lets him lead the army to fight against Zhao Yun alone.
Zhang Ren was worried, and quickly admonished Liu Zhang.
"Zhao Zilong is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also good at using strategy, he is a handsome talent. General Yang has a fiery temper, and if he attacks too quickly, he is very easy to be tricked. The lord should order a group of soldiers and horses to follow from behind, and at the same time send someone to report to Uncle Liu Huang, so that his army can adapt to the situation, just in case! ”
Zhang Ren has always acted cautiously, and this next layout can be described as foolproof. Huang Quan listened to the words, secretly approved, and was also persuaded to attend.
"What the Governor said is very true. The lord should obey it. ”
Liu Zhang listened to Huang Quan's persuasion, and now he agreed a little more in his heart. Liu Zhangsu asked Zhang Ren.
"According to Guyi, who should be sent to take it?"
"Ma Mengqi is excellent in martial arts, he is the first brave general in our army, if he is sent, he will be safe!"
Zhang Ren said quickly. At this moment, Liu Ba's face turned cold, and he stepped forward to attend, and said in a cold voice.
"Humph! Ma Mengqi is a general who has been defeated repeatedly, and he is not good for the army. Although he is not talented, he is willing to lead the army to respond and take Zhao Zilong's head with General Yang! ”
As soon as Liu Ba's words came out, Ma Chao's face suddenly turned cold, and two extremely terrifying cold lights burst out from the lion's eyes. He was originally the pride of the sky, and the days when he was under the fence of Xichuan and were humiliated by others in every way were like torment for him. However, Ma Chao's fiery temperament back then had already been reined in, and now Ma Chao suppressed his anger, just laughing coldly, and at the same time, a thought earlier was a little more eager.
When Zhang Ren heard this, his face changed drastically, and when he was about to scold Liu Ba, Liu Zhang in the high hall said with a smile.
"Hahaha!! Good! Good! Good! I have a fierce general like Liu Zichu, but I can sit back and relax!! ”
At that moment, Liu Zhang first rewarded Liu Ba, Liu Ba was ordered to retreat, Liu Zhang saw that Ma Chao had a look of resentment, so he spoke to appease. Ma Chao pretended to be humble on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely disappointed in Liu Zhang. Zhang Ren saw that Liu Zhang was unscrupulous, and sighed secretly.
Let's say that Yang Huai led 3,000 soldiers and horses, galloped all the way, and met Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses for a while. Yang Huai then set up a formation, and the two armies faced each other. Yang Huai slapped his horse and rushed out of the formation, made a move of the gun, glared at him, and shouted loudly.
"I'm Yang Huaiye, the captain of the Xichuan Fen Military Academy! Where is Zhao Zilong!? Come out and die! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, his sword eyes froze, his expression was indifferent, and the spear flew out suddenly, and dozens of meters in front of Yang Huai, he stopped his horse. Yang Huai saw Zhao Yun's body smashing silver armor, wearing a white robe as white as snow, holding a gentian bright silver spear, sitting on a nightlight jade lion, heroic and majestic, the whole body was like a sharp edge that broke the sky and the earth, and a pair of sword eyes burst out with two cold lights, which shocked Yang Huai's heart unconsciously.
