Chapter 692 - Counting is Counting

"Kill, capture Zhang Ren alive!"

The fire swept through the Black Wind Forest, and Jiang Wu waved the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Capture Zhang Ren alive!"

The morale of the Guanzhong army was high, and they followed Jiang Wu to kill forward, and the shouts in their mouths resounded through the world. When the Yizhou army heard such a shout, they became more and more panicked, and ran outside the Black Wind Forest in a panic.

Fortunately, the direction they came from was a headwind, so although the fire burned vigorously, very few people were burned to death or burned.

Jiang Wu led the army from another mountain, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but say with annoyance: "It's calculated that the wind direction has been missed, otherwise Zhang Ren's gang will be burned to death with a fire, and the Yizhou army will definitely collapse without a fight!" ”

Rao is like this, the Yizhou army is now also defeated, even if Zhang Ren tries his best to shout, there is no way to keep everyone in formation.

Especially after Jiang Wu led the army to kill, the Yizhou army became even more warless and fled in embarrassment.

"Die!"

Jiang Wu slashed to death a Yizhou soldier, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and rode forward to chase and kill the Yizhou army.

The 5,000 sergeants and soldiers were also like tigers entering a flock of sheep, wielding the weapons in their hands and killing one Yizhou army after another.

Zhang Ren was furious when he saw this situation, and led a biao of his own soldiers to retreat instead of advancing, and killed Jiang Wu head-on.

"Bell!"

Jiang Wu was not afraid, brandished a big knife and fought with Zhang Ren, and the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Jiang Wu became more and more courageous.

On the other hand, Zhang Ren, because Zhongfu seemed a little absent-minded, and now seeing that most of his soldiers had fled, he was afraid of being surrounded by the Guanzhong army, so he had to abandon Jiangwu and start to break through.

"Zhang Renxiu is leaving!"

Jiang Wu saw Zhang Ren make a false move, and then pulled out his horse and left, and suddenly roared angrily and chased forward.

One side of the two armies collapsed and fled in a hurry, while the other side was murderous and imposing. On the winding road, the corpses of Yizhou soldiers were left one after another.

Zhang Ren saw that Jiang Wu was chasing after him, and couldn't help but scold: "The thief will be so vicious, he actually dares to set fire to the mountain and do such a thing that hurts the heavens and the peace." ”

"In the future, I will not die a good death!"

Jiang Wu heard Zhang Ren scolding, laughed instead of anger, and said: "My life is up to me, I just burned a forest, what's the big deal?" ”

"Over the years, I have followed the lord to fight in the south and the north, and I don't know how many people died under a certain sword, but they are not still alive?"

"You Zhang Ren prides himself on being a famous general in Bashu, but today you also fell for my scheme, and you don't quickly get off the horse and surrender!"

The two of them are far away, still shouting and scolding back and forth, which looks quite funny on the battlefield.

Zhang Ren was even more angry when he heard this, and scolded: "You are a nobody, and you dare to let me get off the horse and surrender? ”

Jiang Wu laughed and said: "Even a nobody, you can force you, the famous general Zhang Ren of Bashu, into such a situation, it can be seen that your generals in Yizhou are all wine bags and rice bags, which are not worth mentioning." ”

"I think you better return to Chengdu as soon as possible and persuade your lord Liu Zhang to open the city and surrender, otherwise when my lord leads the army to kill and the city is broken and killed, it will be too late to regret it!"

Zhang Ren was ridiculed by Jiang Wu like this, and he was immediately so angry that he wanted to turn around and fight desperately several times, but he was pulled by his subordinates.

Jiang Wu saw that Zhang Ren didn't stop, and he couldn't catch up with himself, and he was a little irritable in his heart.

Silently glancing at the distance between the two, Jiang Wu took out a two-stone big bow, and with all his strength, shot an arrow at Zhang Ren's back heart.

"Buzz!"

The arrows shot out by the two great bows were extremely fast, and they actually produced a piercing sound in the air.

"General be careful!"

When a personal soldier saw this, he was immediately shocked, reminding Zhang Ren to be careful, and at the same time blocking Zhang Ren with his body.

"Poof!"

The arrow pierced through the body of the pro-soldier without accident, and even pierced out of his body, and continued to shoot at Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren was originally a fierce general on the battlefield, he watched six roads and listened to all directions, and when he heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, he was already on guard.

It's just that the speed of the arrows shot with a two-stone bow is so fast that the person who is usually targeted will be shot before they have time to react.

Fortunately, some pro-soldiers stopped it, which bought Zhang Ren a little time.

Zhang Ren waved the spear in his hand vigorously, and suddenly swung the bloody arrow away, and then felt a slight numbness in his arm.

"An inconspicuous general in Guanzhong can actually open such a strong bow, how terrible is the general in Guanzhong?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Ren suddenly felt a strong chill in his heart.

Guan Wu, who was behind, tried his best to shoot an arrow, but he didn't shoot Zhang Ren to death, and his face couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.

But he had exhausted all his strength, and even now his arms were a little trembling, but he didn't shout loudly anymore.

After all, Jiang Wu is not a peerless warrior like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, even if he is brave, it is still a little difficult to open two strong bows.

The two sides chased and fled, and soon came to the entrance of a mountain forest, Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army to flee in a panic, and Jiang Wu did not hesitate at all, so he led the troops into the mountain forest after him.

"Huh, what about people?"

The mountain road below this mountain range went around and around, and Jiang Wu had just come to a corner, but he lost his trace of Zhang Ren.

The adjutant general said: "The terrain here is so treacherous, and Zhang Ren is gone, for the sake of safety, let's lead the troops back." ”

Jiang Wu said: "I finally designed to defeat the Yizhou army, and if I didn't catch Zhang Ren, how could I easily withdraw the troops?" ”

"I guess Zhang Ren is just running faster, and his figure is blocked by the mountain, as long as I wait to catch up with him for a while, I will definitely be able to capture him alive."

Jiang Wu did not listen to the words of the deputy general and insisted on leading his troops forward in pursuit.

The army drove forward again for a distance, and the sergeant Guan, who was marching forward rapidly, suddenly heard the sound of bangzi, and saw flags erected on both sides of the mountain road.

"Shoot the arrows!"

On the top of the mountain, Leng Bao looked at the Guan Zhongjun below, with a cruel smile on his face.

"It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

Jiang Wu was already a little panicked at this time, waving the weapon in his hand and shouting loudly.

The Guanzhong army was suddenly ambushed, and they also lost their bearings, and after hearing Jiang Wu's order, they fled outside one after another.

"Chirp!"

The arrows poured down like a torrential rain, and many of the non-commissioned officers who couldn't dodge were shot on the spot.

"Boom!"

Huge rocks tumbled down from the mountain, and many people were smashed to the point that their brains burst out, and their internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground.

Jiang Wu watched this scene with tears in his eyes, and could only grit his teeth and retreat desperately with his subordinates. The army managed to escape from this path, but it had already suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

Such an elite sergeant Guan did not die in a battlefield fight, but died in an ambush, which made Jiang Wu's heart drip blood.

"Kill, capture Jiang Wu alive!"

Zhang Ren, who had just led the troops to flee in a hurry, led a group of men and horses at this time, shouting and killing from behind.

"General, let's go, I'll cut off!"

Vice Adjutant General Guanzhong brandished his weapon, knocked an arrow to the ground, came to Jiang Wu's side, and roared loudly.

Jiang Wu saw that his subordinates kept falling to the ground after being hit by arrows, and remembered that he had just not listened to the words of the deputy general and insisted on leading the troops to pursue, and his face showed a look of pain and remorse.

He looked at Zhang Ren, who was rushing to kill, and said to the adjutant general: "It is my fault that the light soldiers rushed forward so that they fell for the tricks of the thieves, how can I let you break the back?" ”

"You quickly lead the sons and daughters to flee back to Langzhong, and I will personally take a hundred cavalry under my command to break the rear!"

When the adjutant general heard this, he was anxious and said, "The general is the commander of the first army, how can he risk breaking the rear?" Let's let the end come! ”

Jiang Wu turned pale and shouted: "I underestimate the famous generals in Shu, so I have such a defeat, even if I escape with my life today, I will have no face to see the lord." ”

"In that case, I'd rather die on the battlefield with a bang!"

"You Xiu wants to say anything else, retreat quickly, this is a military order!"

The adjutant general was still saying something, but when he saw Jiang Wu's eyes, he could only tearfully lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat.

In any case, there must be one person who leads the troops to break off, otherwise let Zhang Ren chase and kill, the Guanzhong army will definitely suffer heavy casualties again, and it is still unknown how many people can escape.

Jiang Wu looked at the hundred elite cavalry he had brought out, and shouted, "Are you willing to fight me to the death here?" ”

These cavalrymen did not hesitate at all, and responded one after another: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!" ”

Seeing that there was not the slightest fear on the faces of these cavalrymen, Jiang Wu suddenly laughed loudly: "You brothers can accompany each other and die without regrets!" ”

These soldiers looked at Jiang Wu's appearance, and they couldn't help but think of the years when they were outside the Saiwai and fought against the Xianbei people, and a trace of warmth flashed in their eyes.

The wind swept up the fallen leaves, the dull footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army to finally kill.

Jiang Wu led a hundred cavalry, with horizontal guns, blocking the road that was not very wide, and said with a smile: "It seems that General Zhang is known as a famous general of Bashu, and he really deserves his reputation." ”

"I just want to know, how did General Zhang guess that I would set up an ambush in the Black Wind Forest, and where did he get the courage to dare to lead the troops into the forest."

A deputy general of Yizhou said: "This person must be trying to delay time, the general should not talk nonsense with him, just lead the troops to kill him." ”

Zhang Ren waved his hand, did not follow the advice of the deputy general, but said to Jiang Wu: "The Art of War: Every time you don't enter the forest, you are talking about the kind of forest where there are birds hovering in the sky, but they refuse to fall. ”

"When I saw the birds in the Black Wind Forest in the distance, I knew that there must be an ambush in the forest."

"The reason why scouts were deliberately sent to reconnoiter was to give General Leng Bao time to lead his troops to retreat, so as to set up ambushes elsewhere."

"I am not afraid of fire, and dare to lead my troops into the forest as bait, because I know that the wind is not in the right direction. Even if you burn the Black Wind Forest, you won't cause great casualties to our army. ”

When Jiang Wu heard this, he suddenly realized and laughed self-deprecatingly.
