691 life-and-death duel

The sun is setting, the twilight is four, the sky and the earth are hazy, and when the night is about to fall, Zhang Ren has quietly come to the vicinity of the city with the army, which is only ten miles away from the city.

Ten miles southwest of the city near the official road, is a huge village, called ten miles shop, on both sides of the official road stretching for one or two miles are the shops built by nearby villagers, there are wine shops, tea shops, inns, medicine shops, clothing shops, blacksmith shops, etc., as long as you can see in the big city, there are here, and there is even a horse market specializing in selling horses, at first glance, it seems to have entered a small city.

This is the only place where the city leads to Chengdu, Chengdu city as the largest city in Yizhou, its business is also very developed, and Chengdu city is the origin of Shu brocade, there is still the name of "Jinguan City", it is also the end point of southwest trade, here you can purchase the unique specialties of the southwest, the goods are dazzling, plus the territory of Yizhou is relatively stable, not affected by the war, so its commercial prosperity, once caught up with the major cities of the Central Plains.

However, although the business in Chengdu is developed, the rent of the shop is too high, and it is difficult for people who are not rich and noble to eat in the city, and its business also radiates to the surrounding counties, so some businessmen who are not so strong in capital can only be discouraged.

Shu road is difficult, is an objective factor in Shu, and affected by the terrain, all the merchants who enter Shu, no matter where they come, want to take the fastest and shortest route, will converge on the line of Luocheng. However, the city is also a military town, and it is not allowed to build any business-related shops, and it is not known who initiated the initiative to re-select a lot to build shops. It happened to be stuck on the only way from Ruocheng to Chengdu. And it is not affected by the city. Relying on the official road, a belt-type business circle has been established. This is the origin of Shilipu.

However, the current Shilipu has long been empty, as early as a few days ago, after Zhang Fei led the army to occupy the city, and threatened to go west to Chengdu, as a must pass through the Shilipu. The merchants all felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, fearing that this would become a place of war. So, in just a few days, the merchants of Shilipu have moved out one after another, in order to avoid this impending catastrophe, except for the house can not be taken away, as long as it can be taken away, all taken away, leaving only a similar empty city of Shilipu.

Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses are now stationed in Shilipu, which is only ten miles away from Ruocheng. Fortunately, Zhang Ren's army did not have to set up camp anymore. Because Shilipu has provided them with the necessary accommodation conditions, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to live here.

The army was temporarily stationed, so Zhang Ren sent scouts to investigate the city, and he himself gathered his generals again and gave them some pre-battle encouragement, hoping that they would be able to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and promised them that after the victory, everyone would be rewarded, and they would also be added to the ranks.

In addition, Zhang Ren also offered a reward of thousands of gold to buy Zhang Fei's head.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and many soldiers are all gearing up, always waiting for the coming of war.

After nightfall, the scouts sent by Zhang Ren had already returned, and once again reported to Zhang Ren the news they had inquired about, all of which were exactly what Zhang Ren had originally envisioned, which also filled Zhang Ren's heart with a desire for victory.

After another hour, Zhang Ren ordered the whole army to set off and rushed to Ruocheng with the army from Shilipu.

When Zhang Renbing came to the city, he did not take action immediately, but quietly hibernated, because he and Leng Bao agreed to act tonight.

On the city wall, the lights are bright, and the patrol team walks around the city wall, under the sword and gun, the defense is also extraordinarily strong.

However, at this moment, in the hall of the government in Luocheng City, Zhang Fei and others are actively arranging defenses, as well as the cooperation between various departments, striving to completely defeat Zhang Ren tonight.

Time passed minute by minute, and the soldiers of the two armies inside and outside the city were gearing up, and they were all fully prepared for battle.

However, a qiē is running normally, even on the city wall, there are two stops to change the garrison, the time is soon up, a group of black shadows suddenly surged up on the city wall, one by one from the back of the guards to strangle their necks, but seeing the dangling knife on the neck, those guards all fell.

When the guards on the castle tower were completely eliminated, a man wearing iron armor and an iron helmet walked up, it was Leng Bao.

But seeing that Leng Bud was holding a lantern and holding a baffle in the other hand, and then the lantern was sometimes separated and sometimes released, and it was signaling three long and two short to the outside.

Zhang Ren, who was hidden outside the city, had been paying attention to his every move on the city, and when he saw that on the city wall of the city, Leng Bao gave the signal of "three long and two short", he couldn't sit still anymore, stood up directly, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "The whole army attack!" ”

With Zhang Ren's order, tens of thousands of soldiers who were ambushed outside the city stood up one after another, in the grass, in the woods, in the ravines, everywhere were the soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Ren, they had been hiding here for a long time, and finally waited for this most exciting moment.

At the same time, Leng Bao had already gone down the city wall, and the suspension bridge of the city was slowly lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened.

Zhang Ren turned over and jumped on horseback, put on an iron spear, and took five hundred cavalrymen to bear the brunt of the attack and came to the gate of the city at the fastest speed.

Seeing Zhang Ren coming, Leng Bao hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Metropolitan Governor, now the soldiers in the city are sleeping soundly, Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng and others are in the mansion, and the last general is willing to ask for his life to be a pioneer, go to the mansion to kill Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng and others, and dedicate their heads to the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Zhang Ren said excitedly: "Leng Dudu, you have done a good job, but these things are not firm Leng Dudu Governor himself, Leng Dudu is hard enough, and the rest of the things will be handed over to Ben Dudu!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ren moved forward with the spear in his hand, and quickly rushed into the city with five hundred cavalry behind him, and Zhang Xing and others who followed followed poured into the city with a large number of soldiers, and the soldiers were all scrambling, the scene was really a spectacular.

However, no one noticed that a strange smile appeared on Leng Bao's face.

Zhang Yiyi took the lead and rushed to the mansion of Yucheng with the cavalry, thinking that he would be killed, but what he didn't expect was that the entire mansion was empty, not to mention Zhang Fei, and he didn't even see a single figure.

Suddenly, Zhang Ren had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly ordered: "It's not good, we have been tricked, retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

However, as soon as Zhang Ren's voice fell, a fire lit up outside the mansion, Zhang Fei took his subordinates to hold torches, but surrounded Zhang Ren in the mansion, at the same time, all directions in the city were lit up with fire, and the soldiers who had already prepared suddenly rushed into the city of the Sichuan army carried out a fierce attack, and the streets and alleys in the city were full of people, arrows were like rain, knives and guns were everywhere, and the shouts of killing were everywhere.

At the same time, the cold bud at the gate of the city suddenly attacked, and the Sichuan army opened a big killing, and the city gate was tightly closed, and the Sichuan army, which had just entered the city, was only more than 5,000 people in the city, and it was impossible to prevent it, and the screams were one after another.

The tens of thousands of Sichuan troops who were turned away from the city gate had not yet reacted, and there were shouts of killing behind them, and so many people who didn't know where they came out of nowhere, all rushed over, one by two like fierce tigers descending the mountain, launching a fierce attack on the Sichuan army.

In the ranks of the Sichuan army, there are 20,000 people who are Zhuo Ying and Fei Guan's subordinates, at this time Wu Yi led Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Zhang Yi, Zhuo Ying, and Fei Guan to cover up and kill outside, and Zhuo Ying and Fei Guan kept recruiting the old department, and the old department was summoned, and they turned against each other, and they made a mess within the Sichuan army.

The entire city and outside were immersed in a shouting of killing, and the Sichuan army was caught off guard, with heavy losses and endless screams.

And Zhang Ren in the government of Luocheng Mansion tried to charge several times with 500 cavalry, but they were all blocked back by the army led by Zhang Fei, and more than 200 cavalry were lost.

Zhang Ren was annoyed at this time, but he never expected that Leng Bao would dare to betray him, so that he would fail.

Although Zhang Ren's heart was full of hatred, but there was no way to vent it, even though he was smart for a lifetime, it was a pity that he was confused for a while, so that he had this big defeat.

Half an hour later, the shouts and killings inside and outside the city gradually weakened a lot, and Zhang Ren and others in the palace were almost exhausted, Zhang Ren himself was injured in many places, and there were only more than 100 people around him who could fight, and there were only a dozen war horses.

Zhang Fei carried the Zhangba snake spear, has been guarding the outside of the palace, commanding the soldiers to firmly hold the gate of the palace, when the various departments have reported to him the situation of the end of the battle, Zhang Fei also felt that it was time to close the net, so he rode forward, ordered a hundred followers who followed him, and decided to launch an active attack on the palace to end the battle.

"Kill!"

With Zhang Fei's inspiring shout, Zhang Fei took the lead, galloped out, and rushed towards the palace with a snake spear, and where he passed, he stabbed to death several cavalrymen who came to resist, and the spearhead was directed at Zhang Ren.

When Zhang Ren saw Zhang Fei coming, he was not afraid, he shook his spirits, and greeted him with a gun.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Zhang Fei directly hit Zhang Ren's spear and flew up, and when the two horses intersected, Zhang Fei's long arm stretched out, and he hugged Zhang Ren by the waist, and he was captured alive.

At the same time, a hundred of Zhang Fei's followers also rushed over and fought with Zhang Ren's subordinates, but the strength of the two troops was too different, and Zhang Fei's subordinates wiped out Zhang Ren's subordinates almost effortlessly.

Zhang Fei reined in the horse and threw Zhang Ren, who had been captured alive, directly to the ground, and immediately an infantry rushed over and surrounded Zhang Ren with the spear in his hand, but he heard Zhang Fei shouting: "Tie up!" (To be continued......)
