Chapter 418 The mission arrangement of the Shadow Guards, the confrontation between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang!
It has been several days since Liu Bang led his army to leave Chengdu. His beloved wife Lu Fei is raising her baby peacefully in the company of her sister Lu Huan. In her free time, she is learning to make some female celebrities, or she arranges for her servants to set up a bookcase next to the bed and read a book.
, but I won’t feel depressed or irritated!
That day, Lu Fei took advantage of her free time to move a chair and sit next to the couch to read. Her sister Lu Huan lightly knocked on the door and walked in slowly and said, "Sister, there is a man in black outside the door asking to see you."
"Man in black?"
Lu Zhi, who was studying, frowned slightly when he heard this, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly asked Lu Yan to take the man in black to the living room, and then he simply put on a few beautiful things.
clothes, and walked slowly to the living room to meet the man in black!
When the man in black saw the mistress Lu Zhi, he immediately bowed and saluted, then knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Yinhu, the secret guard of the shadows, paid homage to the mistress."
Lu Pheasant's eyes instantly turned cold. She stepped away softly and raised her right arm to signal Yin Hu to get up first!
Looking at Yin Hu's clothes in front of him, Lu Fei was very satisfied, so he softly asked him about the battle situation between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.
"What's the situation like at Liu Zhang's place? I heard that the rebel Zhang Lu fought with Lianjie. Liu Zhang lost his troops and failed to conquer a single pass. Is this true?"
Yin Hu, a man in black, bowed and saluted, then lowered his head, glanced to the left and right, and then slightly leaned over to report to Lu Pheasant: "Liu Zhang led his army to attack Hanzhong, but unexpectedly he was attacked by Zhang Lu during the march.
He led his army in an ambush and was almost killed by Zhang Churang, a fierce general under Zhang Lu!
At that time, there were many dangers, but fortunately, seven or eight generals including Zhang Ren and Yan Yan came to the rescue, and Liu Zhang was able to escape from Zhang Churang's tiger's mouth."
Looking back at the battle between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, after Zhang Luxiong occupied Hanzhong and Shangyong, Liu Zhang followed Liu Yanzhi's order and personally led the powerful generals born and raised in Shu to attack.
I thought that the battle would end smoothly, but I didn't expect that Zhang Lu was so cunning and cunning. With the help of military advisor Yan Pu, he laid out a plan to ambush the invading Liu Zhang troops on the wide mountain road!
The leader of the ambush force will be Zhang Churang, Zhang Lu's favorite general and the most powerful general in the army. He leads more than 5,000 elite soldiers who are good at walking on mountain roads, armed with flying claws, tiger hooks, iron chains, ropes and dry food.
, firearms, arrows and crossbows, ambushed between Guangyuan and Jiameng Pass.
Liu Zhang led his army into battle for the first time. Firstly, he lacked strategic practical ability and experience. Secondly, he looked down upon Zhang Lu's forces. Thirdly, he was stubborn and stubborn, refusing to listen to the dissuasion of his generals and going his own way!
This resulted in the army being defeated in the first battle. After leaving behind the bodies of some generals and more than a thousand soldiers, the disgraced Liu Zhang led the army out of Guangyuan Mountain Road in disgrace.
When Liu Zhang stationed troops outside the Guangyuan Mountain Road, he immediately appointed General Zhang Ren as the vanguard officer, and General Yan Yan as his adjutant to assist them. Then he appointed Zhang Song to serve as their military adviser to provide them with advice during the war.
As soon as General Zhang Ren took office, he sent a large number of scouts to investigate the specific situation of Guangyuan Mountain Road, and then prescribed the right medicine and led the army to attack slowly and steadily, without giving Zhang Chu any chance to ambush them!
Zhang Churang suffered successive defeats here. After learning about the situation, Zhang Lu arranged for him to set up traps on the Guangyuan Mountain Road. After setting up the traps, he led his army back to Jiameng Pass and defended it.
It has to be said that Zhang Churang's trap was set by chicken thieves. After Zhang Ren discovered the information that Zhang Churang led his army to retreat, he immediately ordered his soldiers to speed up their march and arrive outside Jiameng Pass as quickly as possible.
However, despite Zhang Ren's careful planning, he really didn't expect that Zhang Churang would lay a trap on the road. Zhang Ren and the others were caught in the trap and directly suffered casualties of nearly 3,000 people, including more than 1,500 minor injuries.
Eight hundred were seriously injured and on the verge of death, and more than seven hundred died directly...
Forced to stop, Zhang Ren's army stayed in place for three days. After the wounded soldiers improved slightly, they continued to move towards Jiameng Pass! (The seriously injured ones couldn't be saved, so they would either be transferred back to Shu or die directly.
(Thrown off the cliff, extremely cruel)
In Jiameng Pass, Zhang Churang and Zhang Lu stationed 50,000 troops waiting for the arrival of Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang. On the fifth day after Zhang Churang set up a trap and Zhang Ren led his army to be ambushed by the trap, Liu Zhang's large troops arrived one after another.
Outside Jiameng Pass.
The two forces were at odds with each other. Whether Zhang Churang led his troops out of the city to fight or Zhang Ren and others led their troops to attack Jiameng Pass, they both suffered heavy casualties and the battle ended hastily!
It seems that Zhang and Lu's forces have a difficult time defending, but in fact their casualty ratio is far less than that of Liu Zhang and others. Speaking of Jiameng Pass alone, Jiameng Pass was built in the high mountains. There is Guangyuan Mountain Road in front of it, which can withstand the arrival of an army of ten thousand people.
Later, soldiers from Wuxiang and Hanzhong continuously imported fresh forces.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the mountain road is steep. The enemy forces have deployed a large number of soldiers there. Unless Liu Zhang and others are smart, they will only rely on human lives to attack. Even if 70,000 corpses are piled outside the pass, they will not be able to conquer this pass!
The consecutive battles and victories caused the morale of Liu Zhang's army to be low, which further delayed the progress of the siege. After Liu Zhang learned that his younger brother Liu Bang led an army to conquer Fu Jian southward and Fu Jian was seriously injured and died, Liu Zhang seemed to send a cruel message.
He was so powerful that he ordered Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to conquer this level at all costs.
As for the next result, it is obvious that Liu Zhang led his army to lose consecutive battles, and Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other generals fought bloody battles all day long, but it was all in vain!
After finally reducing the number of enemy soldiers in the pass to more than 30,000 by fighting for their lives, one for one or even two for one, Zhang Lu dispatched more than 5,000 more soldiers from Wuxiang to support.
, and then ordered Zhang Quan, Zhang Tongru, Zhang Tianxi, Zhang Shi, Zhang Mao and other generals who were in Hanzhong to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to support Jiameng Pass!
Over and over again, the number of troops in Jiameng Pass became even greater than before, while the number of troops here by Liu Zhang and others dropped sharply. Even during the battle, Chengdu and other prefectures and counties successively sent troops to the front.
Come to support, but in the end it will be of no avail.
So far, Liu Zhang and the others have lost as many as 30,000 soldiers outside Jiameng Pass, and even eight or nine generals at the rank of captain have died. There is no good news in the battle.
As Liu Bang was about to lead his army out of Shu to attack Dong's thieves, the burden on Liu Zhang's shoulders became heavier and heavier. If he could no longer annihilate Zhang Lu, how could he have the face to return to Chengdu and meet his father Liu Yan?
In desperation, Liu Zhang was forced to teach all his military power to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. He knew that his ability was not enough to continue to serve as a general. Instead of living like this at the expense of troops and generals, it would be better to directly give power to capable people.
, and then mess it up in the back.
Since Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other veteran generals took over the army, their first purpose was to gather the morale of the army, and then seek opportunities to outwit them and march south to Jiameng Pass!
This pass is located in the lofty mountains and cannot be conquered without being clever!
