(At the end of the previous chapter, Wang Ping was written to want Wang Ping to surrender, and then found out that Wang Ping was originally from Yizhou, and it was in history that Cao Cao surrendered to Cao Cao when he took Hanzhong and ordered Zhang He to invade Brazil.) Now Wang Ping is still in Brazil, and he shouldn't have been here if he didn't take refuge in Cao Cao, my negligence, so I changed it. The last word of the previous chapter has also been revised. ）

This scholar is the character of this general, and his name is Su Ze.

Su Zenai is a person in Guanzhong, famous for his learning and conduct, once served as Jiuquan Taishou, Anding Taishou, Wudu Taishou, also participated in the pacification of the Xiliang Rebellion, can be literate and martial, and is not under the Liangzhou Assassin History Zhang Ji, but is a famous direct minister in the history of Cao Wei.

This time, Cao Cao sent troops to Hanzhong, with Su Ze as the military guide.

"General rest assured!" Su Ze arched his hand and waved his big hand: "Brothers, come with me!" ”

Su Ze led 3,000 soldiers and horses straight to the west gate to attract the attention of the Shu soldiers, so that Xu Huang could lead the main army to break through from the east gate.

There were originally 20,000 Shu soldiers.

Wei Yan took 5,000 to chase Cao Cao, 8,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao fought fiercely with Cao Zhang and Xu Chu at the north gate, and they couldn't get out, so there were only 7,000 Shu soldiers left.

Zhang Ren arranged 3,000 soldiers and horses at the west gate, personally guarded it, and arranged 2,000 soldiers and horses at the south and east gates, so as to prevent Cao's army from breaking through from this second gate.

Su led 3,000 soldiers and horses straight to the West Gate, shouting and shouting along the way.

A general beside Zhang Ren heard the shouts of the West Gate, and hurriedly said to Zhang Ren: "General, if the Cao army really breaks through from the West Gate, transfer a thousand soldiers and horses from the east and south gates as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's see the situation, so as not to bluff Cao Jun!" ”

Su Ze led the army to kill, Zhang He led his troops to block the West Gate, and the two soldiers and horses were killed in one place.

This Su Ze is a civil official, but he is only familiar with martial arts, and in the chaos of the army, he still fights the Shu soldiers with a spear in his hand, without the slightest fear.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ren quickly reacted: "This person's martial arts are mediocre, why did he take the lead in rushing to kill?" Not good, this army is not the main force of the Cao army! ”

At this moment, a ride came from the direction of the East Gate: "The general is not good, Xu Huang led the main force to break through from the East Gate, and the brothers are almost unable to resist!" ”

"Damn, I fell for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Zhang Ren was furious and anxious to lead troops to aid the East Gate, but the soldiers and horses were dragged away by Su Ze.

"Kill me!" Zhang Ren had no choice but to defeat the soldiers and horses in front of him first.

Su Ze's martial arts are mediocre, how is Zhang Ren's opponent, he was stabbed to death by Zhang Ren's shot, the master will be killed, and his soldiers and horses are in chaos.

Zhang Ren had just killed Su Ze, and another cavalry came from the east gate to report: "General, Xu Huang has broken through the east gate and killed the north gate!" General Zhao and General Lin besieged it, and a lot of soldiers and horses came out, but I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people! ”

"Damn, it's all Wei Yan's struggle!"

Although there was a fire in the city, Cao's army had 100,000 people, and it was impossible to burn them to death, as long as there was a general to command and stabilize order, the fire could only cause chaos. Just let the soldiers panic.

Cao Cao ran away, as long as the four gates were blocked, the Cao army could not get out, the 100,000 army would have to be burned, even if it broke through the encirclement, it was also a tired division, like a frightened bird, one chasing ten, it could also be easily defeated. and then went to chase Cao Cao, Cao Cao's grain and grass were burned, and he couldn't kill him.

However, Wei Yan was anxious for quick success and ran to chase Cao Cao, resulting in a shortage of manpower to block the door, Xu Huang's army broke through the encirclement, and now tens of thousands of people have come out, these soldiers and horses were only frightened in the fire, under the command of Xu Huang, they can still go into battle when they go out of the city, how to deal with it?

"It's over, tens of thousands of people have come out, how can we deal with it, general, let's retreat first to protect the soldiers and horses!"

When Zhang Ren heard this, he pulled out the saber on his waist and slashed at the general, cut it down the horse with a sword, and shouted: "Xu Huang led the army out and surrounded the two generals Lin and Zhao, do we ignore them?" Whoever dares to speak up and flee, I will kill whom! ”

"Now that Xu Huang has led the soldiers and horses in the city to break through, how can we resist it?"

Zhang Ren pondered for a while, and soon had an idea: "Immediately give me the other three soldiers and horses, and all the cavalry will charge back and forth in the rear, shouting loudly, and making enough noise." Cao Jun had just rushed out of the sea of fire, and his heart was not yet at peace, so he quickly fetched me strips of cloth, oil and torches. Fight the enemy with torches! ”

Before coming, they prepared a large amount of fire oil, cloth strips and other fire-starting things, and hid them nearby, Zhang He immediately ordered the soldiers to go to fetch cloth strips and fire oil, tie the cloth strips to the gun sticks, make torches, and go to rescue Lin Xiao and Zhao Yun.

Soon, the two soldiers and horses in the southeast rushed to hear the news.

Zhang Renliu's cavalry galloped wildly in the rear, shouting loudly, and he led the remaining more than 5,000 infantry to kill Cao's army with torches made of weapons.

Xu Huang led the trapped soldiers and horses in the city out of the east gate, and the deputy general under his command led 10,000 to support Cao Cao, and he personally led the remaining soldiers and horses to the north gate to pick up Xu Chu and Cao Zhang.

Originally, on the north gate, Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao led troops to block the city and trapped Xu Chu and Cao Zhang.

However, Xu Huang led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to arrive, and counter-surrounded Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao.

Eight thousand Shu soldiers were surrounded by Xu Huang, Cao Zhang, Xu Chu led troops from the north gate into the Shu soldiers, and the situation of the Shu soldiers was precarious for a while.

Suddenly, there was a burst of galloping war horses, war drums, and shouts from the south.

Looking ahead, I saw thousands of people holding torches in their hands, rushing towards the slaughter, like a huge fire ball swept over.

"Fire, run, there's fire!"

"Run!"

Cao Jun had just escaped from the sea of fire, and now when he saw Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses coming with fire, he was suddenly in chaos.

The soldiers on Zhang Ren's side also shouted loudly.

"Burn Cao Jun, burn Cao Jun!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire! ”

"Burn! Burn! Burn! ”

Xu Huang had been on the battlefield for a long time, and knew that this was not Liu Bei leading the army to come, but the Shu soldiers were bluffing, wanting to rescue Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao, so he shouted: "This is just a bluff of the Shu soldiers, don't mess up, don't mess up!" Death to those who retreat! ”

However, the Cao army was affected by the fire and finally escaped from the fire, and now when they saw the Shu soldiers coming with fire, they still involuntarily collapsed.

Zhang Ren led his troops to kill, and the soldiers held torches and brandished torches to kill Cao Jun.

At this moment, although the Shu soldiers are only holding torches, for Cao Jun, it is more dangerous and terrifying than holding weapons.

Before they could rush and kill, Cao's army began to rout.

"Zhongkang, Childe, the soldiers and horses are in chaos, don't retreat quickly!" Xu Huang saw that he couldn't do anything, and shouted at Xu Chu and Cao Zhang.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses under their command had been defeated and fled, the two hurriedly fought hard to force Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao to flee.

Cao Jun retreated, Zhao Yun and Lin Xiao broke out of the encirclement, Zhao Yun said to the generals: "Wei Wenchang chased Cao Cao for greed, Xu Huang sent a wave of men and horses to support Cao Cao before, and now Wei Yan is only afraid that he has been besieged, let's go to support Wei Yan quickly." ”

Zhang Ren proposed: "With our manpower, we can't defeat Cao Cao in hard work, but we can still use torches to scare off Cao Jun!" ”
