When the Yizhou Army first came here, they saw many figures, and they all thought that they were patrols of the Guanzhong Army.

But Zhang Ren watched carefully for a long time, only to find that these figures had been standing still, like dead things.

No matter how well a living person trains, it is impossible for them to remain in the same position for that long, let alone all figures.

Therefore, Zhang Rencai thinks that these are straw men.

"Could it be that the Guanzhong Army has really withdrawn?"

Zhang Ren's thoughts flashed in his heart, so he sent a few scouts to cautiously step forward to investigate the truth.

Seeing this, the adjutant general couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Since the general believes that those figures are dummies, why is he so cautious?" ”

Zhang Rendao: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Even if you have a guess in your mind, it's always right to be careful. ”

Zhang Ren quoted the beginning of "The Art of War" to answer the questions of the adjutant general.

Zhang Ren knew that as the commander of the First Army, every order would involve the life and death of many people.

Therefore, every time he goes out to fight, he will be cautious and repeated.

The adjutant general was slightly ashamed when he heard this, and immediately stopped speaking, but secretly made up his mind to learn from the coach in the future.

Those scouts sent out by Zhang Ren cautiously touched the outside of the camp, and when they got closer, they really saw those figures, all of them were straw men in tattered armor.

Some people were extremely bold, and since they directly removed the antlers, they ran into the camp to investigate.

"This, this ......"

One of the scouts saw many sheep tied up, with a war drum under their hooves, and they were struggling to kick the war drum with their hooves.

Seeing this, the scout hurried into a tent and found it empty.

"General, general, the Guanzhong army is all missing, and that camp is empty!"

Zhang Ren breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, but after all, he still did not relax his vigilance, and sent the deputy general to lead more than 1,000 men and horses into the camp.

After the deputy general entered the camp, he searched in detail, but he didn't see a single living person at all, and the camp was very empty except for those straw men and sheep.

The adjutant general obeyed Zhang Ren's order and deliberately set fire to the camp, wanting to see if there was an ambush by the Chinese army nearby.

However, even if the fire rose into the sky, it did not lead to an ambush.

"Extinguish the fire!"

By now, Zhang Ren was basically certain that the Guanzhong Army had retreated.

He entered the camp with the rest of the soldiers and horses, and when he saw that the camp was empty, there were still many useful supplies, and he immediately gave the order to extinguish the fire.

Zhang Ren looked at the busy crowd and muttered to himself: "Is this the end of this war?" ”

The thought had just sprung up in his heart, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, and a group of men and horses came out of the thorns.

Even from a long distance, Zhang Ren heard a loud shout.

"Zhang Ren suffers death!"

The sound of shouting came, and the leader was magnificent, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand exuded a little cold glow under the illumination of the firelight.

Lu Bu led the army to the camp to kill, although there were not many soldiers under his command, but he was also imposing.

"Oops, it's a trick!"

The adjutant general couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and shouted in a lost voice.

Zhang Ren shouted in a deep voice: "I'll wait for reinforcements to come, hold the camp tightly, don't panic!" ”

With Zhang Ren's order, the Yizhou army actually closed the gate of the camp, wanting to use the camp to resist the Guanzhong army.

"Gan Ning is here, Zhang Ren is dead!"

Another loud shout came from a distance, but it was Gan Ning who led a group of men and horses and also rushed over here.

"Chen Hu is here, Zhang Hu will not get off the horse and surrender?"

Another group of people rushed to kill, and the leader was Chen Hu.

As more and more soldiers and horses poured towards the camp, Zhang Ren couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking: "Chen Wenzhao has been planning for a long time and wants to put me to death. ”

"If I defend the camp and be surrounded by the Guanzhong army, even if I have reinforcements from General Deng, it will be difficult to escape."

"However, if I lead the troops to break through, Chen Wenzhao must have set up ambushes along the way, even if I break out of the siege at this time, I may not be able to escape back to the city."

One misstep has become a thousand years of hatred, and it has been a hundred years since I turned back.

Zhang Ren made a wrong step, but at this time he was about to face the threat of death, but even at this time, Zhang Ren did not panic at all.

The place where Lu Bu and the others were ambushed was not close to the camp, and although the shouts were shocking at this time, the ambush soldiers had not yet rushed to the side of the camp.

In a hurry, Zhang Ren already had a plan.

He summoned a dozen people who were familiar with the terrain and told them to take the path to inform Deng Xian, so that Deng Xian should not lead troops to come to the rescue.

The path was so steep that it was impossible for the army to pass through, and only hunter-turned-soldiers were able to pass through it.

And the goal of a dozen or so people is not big, and it is not difficult to escape.

This ambush battle has obviously been planned for a long time, and in this case, even if Deng Xian leads troops to help, he may not be able to repel the Guanzhong army.

Zhang Ren saw this, so he was unwilling to drag Deng Xian into the quagmire.

Subsequently, Zhang Ren also told those people to inform the defenders in the city that they should not open the city gate easily, but only need to defend the Sword Pavilion.

After a dozen or so people left, Zhang Ren set his sights on the north and issued an order to break through to the north.

The adjutant general was shocked when he heard this, and asked: "The south is the direction of the Sword Pavilion, and the general is breaking through to the north, isn't it the opposite of the south?" ”

Zhang Ren drank: "Chen Wenzhao has been planning for a long time, and he will definitely not let me go back to the city easily, if I rush to the south, I will definitely die." ”

"But Chen Wenzhao would never have imagined that I would lead the troops to the north."

"The jungle here is dense, and the mountains are stacked, as long as we can shake off the Chinese army, we can completely take a detour from the mountains and return to the Sword Pavilion again."

The adjutant general was impressed when he heard this, and immediately followed behind Zhang Ren, abandoning the camp and breaking through to the north.

In fact, it was not a breakthrough, Lu Bu, Gan Ning, and Chen Hu each came from one direction, but there was not a single soldier in the north.

Zhang Ren led the Yizhou army and escaped very easily.

In Zhang Ren's opinion, even if Chen Xu was ambushed this time, there would not necessarily be any danger.

The Yizhou army is a local battle, and everyone knows the terrain very well, so they can rely on this advantage to escape from the pursuers and return to the city.

As for the Sword Pavilion, Zhang Ren didn't worry too much, although Wu Yi didn't think he was the leader, he was also quite talented.

As for Zhang Song, he is an unforgettable talent.

With these two people stationed in the Sword Pavilion, and there are still a lot of troops in the city, Zhang Ren never believes that the Guanzhong army can attack the city.

Zhang Ren led the troops to flee to the north, and Lu Bu and others pursued them relentlessly, and it didn't take long for the Yizhou army to flee to a narrow road.

"As long as you cross this path, you can lead the troops into the mountains, and then take a detour to the Sword Pavilion."

When Zhang Ren saw this path, he was immediately overjoyed, if he could enter the mountain, it would definitely be very easy to get rid of the pursuers.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yi grabbed the belly of the horse and led his subordinates to hurriedly run to the front.

In order not to reveal his whereabouts as much as possible, Zhang Ren asked the soldiers to extinguish the torches at the beginning, and marched forward in the looming moonlight.

"Faster, faster!"

Zhang Yi ran while urging the soldiers to speed up the march, the sky was so dark, after escaping into the mountains, the Guanzhong army would never dare to pursue.

The mighty pursuers are behind, but hope and life are in front of us.

Zhang Ren had no doubt that if Lu Bu, Gan Ning, and Chen Hu were allowed to catch up, it would be absolutely difficult to break through again.

Although he is confident, he is not arrogant, and he knows that those three generals are rare fierce generals in Guanzhong.

At this time, there was no need for Zhang Ren's urging, and when they were facing death, the soldiers also broke out with a strong desire to survive, and rushed forward.

Fortunately, Zhang Ren is quite prestigious, so that the soldiers can be restrained and not scattered.

It was dark, and Zhang Ren was so busy running away that he didn't notice it at all, and a few tripwires were quietly lying on the path.

"Boom!"

The war horse tripped over the horse rope and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust and fallen leaves, and a mournful cry came out of the horse's mouth.

"Guan Hai is here, Zhang Ren is dead!"

Zhang Ren's war horse had just fallen to the ground, and a loud cheer sounded immediately, but it was Guan Hai who led a group of men and horses to block the road.

"You have already been ambushed, and those who descend will not be killed!"

There was another light shout, and a young figure could be vaguely seen, commanding the crossbowmen, aiming all the arrows at the Yizhou army.

This person is Deng Zhi Deng Bomiao, when it was raining continuously, Zhang Yu went to persuade Deng Zhi to defect to Chen Xu.

After seeing Deng Zhi, Chen Xu was naturally overjoyed, and attached great importance to him, and followed Guan Hai to ambush in the north this time.

Originally, the two thought that Zhang Ren would never break through from the north, and they were just playing soy sauce tonight.

But I didn't expect that I really waited for Zhang Ren.

This couldn't help but remind the two of them of Jia Xu's meaningful smile.

The ambush soldiers were exhausted, and the torches were immediately lit, and the firelight almost illuminated the entire dark night, and in front of them was a dense Guanzhong army.

As soon as Deng Zhi's words fell, the Guan Zhong soldiers who were ambushed here also shouted in unison: "Those who descend will not be killed!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The thunderous roar made the faces of the surrounded Yizhou army pale, and they looked at the arrows that emitted cold light, and their eyes showed boundless fear.

"General!"

The deputy general was extremely loyal to Zhang Ren, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that he was thrown to the ground and never got up.

The deputy general hurriedly jumped off the war horse and helped Zhang Ren up, but saw that Zhang Ren's head was hit and blood flowed, and he actually fell unconscious.

I have to say that Zhang Ren's luck is too bad.

He already had something on his mind, plus the war horse fell to the ground suddenly, even if his martial arts were extraordinary, he didn't react because he was in a trance.

Coincidentally, Zhang Ren's head happened to hit a raised stone, if it weren't for the helmet to protect him, I am afraid that he would have died under this collision.

Rao is like this, at this time, Zhang Ren's life is also dying, and he may die if he is not careful.

If this is the case, a generation of famous generals Zhang Ren was actually killed because of falling off the horse, but it is also a great irony.

"Capture Zhang Ren alive!"

The pursuers behind him got closer and closer, the shouts of killing were endless, and the Yizhou army's will to resist finally collapsed, and they knelt down and surrendered.

The deputy general wanted to resist, but was beheaded by Guan Hai, and the unconscious Zhang Ren was also captured by Deng Zhi.
