Chapter 440 ?? Yuanmen Shooting Halberd(1/2)
Zhang Ren is the bait, and the people who are ambushing are Xu Shu, Meng Da and Gongsun Kang.
This time, more than 100,000 troops went south, such as Gao Shun, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and other soldiers, mostly from the north, many of whom were sick, and the system was incomplete.
The people of Xu Shu and the other two were quite large in Bashu, with few people sick, and the system was relatively complete.
Chengdu Plain and Bazhong Basin. But this is Nanzhong, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Many places are mountains, and most of them have no names.
On an unknown mountain.
Xu Shu, Meng Da, and Gongsun Kang stopped the flag and ordered the soldiers to put away their flags and spears, and hid in the dense forests.
The weather in the south is hot, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests. However, before the ambush, the three generals had sent people to drive away the poisonous insects roughly.
The biggest enemy of the soldiers at present is mosquitoes. A bite can make a big bag and a big piece of it, but it is quite acceptable.
There are too many people in them, with 20,000 or 30,000 people hiding on the mountain. Each person has not many mosquitoes.
For mosquitoes, God is simply a gift for food.
On a hidden rock, Xu Shu was wearing black armor, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, sweating profusely.
Even if it is covered by shadows, it is still trembling with heat, let alone wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms.
However, Xu Shu was strong and had a strong face, but his face turned a little red, he had no heat stroke, nor did he complain about hardship and fatigue.
Around Xu Shu, several people were staring at the road at the foot of the mountain.
"General. General Zhang is here." A personal soldier came back to report to Xu Shudao. Xu Shu immediately pressed his sword and stepped forward a few steps, lowered his head to watch.
On the small path in the mountains, Zhang Ren led more than a thousand men to the north in a embarrassed manner.
"Don't worry, let General Zhang go. You even let half of the Southern Army go. Then we will kill down the mountain and eat all the Southern Army." Xu Shu's face was very calm.
Although the road has gone wrong, Xu Shu is Xu Shu after all. As he grows older, knowledge and intelligence over the years, he gradually becomes resourceful and has a calm personality.
"No." The personal soldiers agreed.
Not long after, a group of people came over. Although the troops were strong, the queue was wearing weapons. A general rushed forward with one horse.
"Zhang Ren, don't run away if you have the ability. Are you not a general of Bashu? Don't you dare to fight me?" You can also hear a crisp female voice that is stimulating Zhang Ren.
Xu Shu's eyes were very calm. After half of his troops passed, Xu Shu waved his hand and ordered: "Beat the drum."
"Dongdongdongdongdong!!!" The war drums hidden in various parts of the mountains immediately roared...
"Kill!!!!" The three soldiers and horses all over the mountains roared and rushed down like tigers going down the mountain.
"I've been trapped!!!"
Zhu Rong was so arrogant, but she was not stupid. When she saw this attitude, she immediately knew that she had fallen into a trap. However, she was brave and good at fighting, and was not afraid, but was very excited.
"With me, Zhu Rong, here, don't be afraid. The Han army only knows how to escape, so it is difficult to find such an opportunity. Take the opportunity to defeat the Han army."
Zhu Rong was wearing a light armor. Although his voice was delicate, his breath was majestic, like a tigress.
"Kill!!!" Nan Bing was a little panicked, but seeing Zhu Rong so calm, his morale was suddenly boosted and he roared angrily, preparing to fight.
But the situation is completely different from what they thought.
This time the Han army went south, and it was indeed a loss of being unacceptable to the local environment and many people were sick. However, the Han army was still the Han army, who followed Zhang Xiu to fight against the strongest Han army.
"Kill!!!" Zhang Ren was the first to get angry. He led a thousand people to run away in front. After hearing the drums, he was so angry that he turned his head and rushed towards Zhurong with the lead.
"The defeated generals under his command dare to be arrogant. Look at me stab you to death." Zhu Rong was not surprised and happy when he saw Zhang Ren coming with a gun. If he could kill Zhang Ren, he would definitely greatly damage the morale of the Han army. This ambush would be destroyed without any attack.
"Kill!!!" Zhu Rong clamped his legs tightly with his horse's belly, and his whole body shot out like an arrow. Then he stabbed Zhang Ren with a shot.
"Ding!!" Zhang Ren was in his chest and stopped the shot. Then he picked it up and swept it towards Zhu Rong's head.
Zhu Rong was shocked. How could this man's shooting skills be completely different from before?
When he was fighting alone before, Zhang Ren was not that powerful. Zhu Rong could not think too much, so Zhang Ren held back his anger. His shooting skills were endless, both cruel and fierce, and he was desperate to call for imperial edicts.
Zhu Rong hurriedly resisted, how could he have the time to think randomly?
The two of them had only twenty meetings, and Zhurong was gradually defeated. She was not stupid and planned to escape. But at this moment, the mountain road was narrow and there were people in front and behind, where could she go?
"Ding!!" Zhang Ren seized an opportunity and took off the big gun in Zhu Rong's hand with one shot, then swept Zhu Rong off his horse with one shot. He shouted: "Zhu Rong has been captured alive by me, you are surrounded, those who don't want to die should surrender soon."
After Zhu Rong was dismissed, he was immediately rushed up by Zhang Ren's personal soldiers and tied up a strong man.
This woman was asked by Grand Sima, and Zhang Ren dared not to capture her alive.
There is no wave of war.
The Southern Army was surrounded by three sides, and the mountain road was narrow, so even if they retreated, they would not be able to retreat. If Zhu Rong was brave and killed Zhang Ren, he could turn the situation around.
But Zhu Rong was captured alive...
The Southern Army was originally a bulk mob. Except for a few soldiers who resisted, the rest immediately knelt on the ground and surrendered, which was very smooth.
"Let me go, let me go." Zhu Rong was tied up with a strong but restless female leopard, constantly struggling.
Xu Shu came down from the mountain, looked at Zhurong, and bowed politely to Zhang Ren and said, "General Zhang. You will lead your troops to take care of these southern soldiers here. I will go south together with Gongsun and Meng to fight the main force of the Southern Army."
The two were at the same level, and Zhang Ren belonged to the Yunzhou sequential general, the highest commander, and was not subordinate to each other. However, this time, he was Xu Shu's deputy general. He was also calm and did not feel unhappy. He bowed his promise calmly and readily.
"promise."
Then, Zhang Ren first sent someone to send Zhu Rong to see Zhang Xiu, while gathering the discrete soldiers and taking care of the southern troops brought by Zhu Rong.
After Xu Shu, Meng Da and Gongsun Kang integrated the troops, they immediately took a small path and returned to their original place. At this time, the Han deputy general led two thousand people to stay in place and sorted out the seized materials.
Without saying a word, Xu Shu and the other two beheaded the Han deputy general in one go, and then led their troops south to defeat the main force of the Southern Army.
The Southern Army is known as 100,000, but in fact, there are only a little over 80,000 soldiers and horses. This time, the army headed north and left 10,000 troops to defend the city.
At most, only 70,000 people went to fight. Zhurong had led tens of thousands of people and was captured alive by them. The remaining was as high as 40,000 to 50,000.
Moreover, the Southern Army was a mob.
Although Xu Shu and his three men had less than 30,000 troops, they were extremely capable. Xu Shu was very confident to defeat the Southern Army and completely wipe out the rebellion in Nanzhong.
................
The Southern Army subsequently divided the troops and horses into several units. Meng Yuan personally commanded 15,000 troops and horses into the front, and Gao Ding, Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and others commanded the troops and horses in the rear.
Meng Yuan is an old world, and he is much more cautious than Zhu Rong. While sending troops to inquire about the movements ahead, the army is moving northward without slowing down.
"Report to the King. General Zhurong has defeated Zhang Xiu's general Zhang Ren, who was broken, and is currently pursuing the remnants." The probing horse in front rushed over and reported to Meng Yuan.
"Hahaha. My niece is such a brave general. People like Zhang Ren are not worth worrying about." Meng Yuan first smiled and said to Chen Yao beside him, then waved to the horse and said, "Talk again."
"No." The tentman replied and rode his horse down.
"This time, you will kill Zhang Xiu without leaving any armor, then you will be in Chengdu and attack Bazhong eastward. Brother. You must not only be the King of Southern, but also be the King of Shu."
When Chen Yao heard his daughter Lian Zhan and win, he was overjoyed, but he did not forget to congratulate Meng Yuan and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Meng Yuan's face showed a look of spirit, and he was quite expectant.
Meng Huo, who was standing beside him, stroked the hilt of the knife around his waist, "If my father becomes the King of Shu, then wouldn't I be the Prince of Shu?"
Commander Meng Yuan continued to advance. Not long after, the horse came again. But this time the expression on his face was very frightened.
"Report to the king. General Zhurong was ambushed, and his whereabouts are unknown now. There are "Xu", "Gongsun", and "Meng" and leading 20,000 to 30,000 troops south, with great momentum."
"Ah?!!!" Chen Yao screamed in surprise, his face immediately pale, his body shook for a while, and he almost fell off his horse.
Not to mention the failure ahead, he really loves his daughter very much. If his daughter has three shortcomings, wouldn’t it be heartbroken?
Meng Yuan calmed down a little, but suddenly he broke out in cold sweat. After thinking for a while, his face changed drastically: "This is the Han people's plan to lure the enemy. Zhurong's winning streak in a row in a row is probably fake. Not good. Let's withdraw our troops immediately and go back to Zhuti City to talk about it."
As she said that, Meng Yuan also comforted Chenyao and said, "Brother, don't worry. Your niece is brave and good at fighting and will not be in trouble. Even if she can't escape, half of it may be captured alive. Then we will exchange the cow and horse for her to come back."
Chen Yao reluctantly calmed down and nodded.
Of course, my daughter is very important, but the situation is not good now. There is no benefit in fighting head-on with the Han army.
Meng Huo was eager to try and wanted to fight Xu Shu and others, but seeing that Meng Yuan looked so ugly that he didn't speak.
With Meng Yuan's order, the front team of the Southern Army changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the front team, and fled at an extremely fast speed and walked away.
Although the Southern Army was not good at fighting, it was like walking on flat ground and had sufficient strength. Xu Shu first sent troops to pursue him, but finally he could only stare at the other party running further and further away, and could only give up the pursuit.
However, he did not return to the army, but ordered the army to move slowly, continue to march south, and return to his original camp to station.
The previous situation was that there was a dying epidemic within the Han army and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The Southern Army guarded the Minjiang River and occupied Zhuti City, with strong troops and strong horses. Both sides were half a pound and eight taels, evenly matched.
Now they have captured Zhurong alive and ate 10,000 elite soldiers from the other side. The balance of victory and defeat has turned to the Han army.
................
The valley behind, within [encircle].
Zhang Ren's personal soldiers escorted Zhurong, who was still restless, into the encirclement.
"Zhang Xiu, if you want to kill and cut, you will listen to the emperor. But it is tied too tightly. Can you loosen it?" Zhu Rong was not afraid and raised his head and said to Zhang Xiu.
Dian Wei was present. If ordinary people called Zhang Xiu so directly, Dian Wei would have been furious. But this woman...and the southerners did not know etiquette.
"Let her go." Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Dian Wei.
"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, and was too lazy to untie the rope. He pulled out the big sword at his waist and cut the rope with one sword.
