Liu Zhang stood on the top of the Hanzhong city, and he still hasn't calmed down. Although he has opened the Hanzhong city gate and the army has poured in, it is said that Zhang Lu has started setting fire to himself. At this moment, the easy victory has made him feel uncomfortable.
Liu Zhang gave up the idea of executing Zhang Lu.
He always felt that when he actually attacked someone he had been worrying about for so many years, he just casually raised his hand and defeated him. Liu Zhang felt a little boring for no reason.
"Put out the fire, capture him, and put him on trial." After Liu Zhang lost interest, he no longer had the idea of killing Zhang Lu directly. Instead, he naturally thought that he should deal with the other party according to the process. After all, Liu Zhang finally understood the two sides.
The difference in size.
Time goes back slightly to a month ago. At that time, after the Yuan family informed Liu Zhang of Zhang Lu's news, as soon as Yuan Shu left, Liu Zhang, who was still in a rage at the time, decisively mobilized his troops to fight Zhang Lu.
Zhang Song also knew about Liu Zhang's situation at that time. Although he was very worried, he did not stop him. Instead, he began to mobilize troops and food from all over Chengdu to prepare for Liu Zhang's expedition.
The situation at that time was that Lei Tong was the only outstanding general in Sichuan and Shu. The others were still in Zhongnan preparing to counterattack Guishang with Guan Yu. Liu Zhang had no idea of mobilizing those troops back to Sichuan. After all, there was not enough time.
, and the other is to mobilize troops for external warfare for the purpose of civil war. This kind of thing Liu Zhang, who has become as obsessed as Yuan Shu, cannot do this.
Therefore, the final result was that Liu Zhang mobilized 4,000 troops from Sichuan and Sichuan, and including the engineering team in Sichuan and Sichuan, the two totaled to almost 10,000.
After that, Liu Zhang made a decisive move, and Lei Tong commanded four thousand elite troops to join the Yangqun troops on the Sichuan-Shu Avenue. It was also this time that Liu Zhang discovered that he actually had such a powerful army under his command.
Moreover, when Liu Zhang led his troops to Yangqun, he was also surprised. He quickly ordered all his bodyguards to greet him. Although he was only a second-line regiment, he was the general whom Liu Zhang had personally appointed, so he had some impression of him.
Therefore, when he learned that Liu Zhang had come in person, Yang Qun thought it was because his progress was too slow, which made his lord unhappy, so he hurriedly came to defend himself.
Speaking of which, Yangqun was about to complete the Sichuan-Sichuan Highway at that time, and the construction period before Hanzhong was estimated to be less than one month.
However, after Yang Qun passed by, he learned that Liu Zhang had received intelligence that Zhang Lu was going south to Pingchuan, and all the elites from Sichuan and Shu had gone to Central and South China. Liu Zhang had to personally lead his troops to the front line to resist Zhang Lu. Yang Qun heard this and immediately
He expressed his willingness to follow Liu Zhang in his crusade against Zhang Lu.
Although Yang Qun is a second-line army general, Liu Zhang has done a good job in recent years and has not treated Yang Qun badly. As an old man from Sichuan and Shu, he has also read some books and understands the saying that the master will humiliate his ministers to death, so when he saw
After Liu Zhang's angry expression, he immediately expressed his willingness to defend Liu Zhang.
Of course, Yang Qun has never actually been on the battlefield, at least not before this, but out of recognition of Liu Zhang's practical work for Sichuan and Shu in the past few years, Yang Qun is still willing to fight for Liu Zhang, even though he is scared to death.
Even though she was timid at heart, Yang Qun still acted very firmly.
On the other side, Lei Tong, who has experienced the baptism of the Imperial War, has actually improved a lot. This is why Zhang Song dared to let Liu Zhang come. Zhang Lu actually has no one available. Even if Lei Tong's current level is unbeatable, he still can't win.
I was able to escape unscathed, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Lei Tong was also holding his breath. He also wanted to vent Yan Yan's death in battle and the brutality of the Imperial War. Therefore, he had a goal from the very beginning, which was to capture Hanzhong. Zhang Ren had attacked Hanzhong before.
It also gave Lei Tong a lot of experience, and Zhang Lu’s army was far behind!
Of course, this group of people from Sichuan and Shu are not the elite group that fought the Imperial War. If they were still the group of people under Yan Yan, even if there were only four thousand, Lei Tong would dare to act recklessly. However, unfortunately, this group of people has only the backbone.
They are the elite, and the others are at most veterans who have seen blood.
But it's not bad, at least with an elite veteran commander, it's still guaranteed to fight a third-rate war like this. After all, the organizational strength is much stronger than Zhang Lu's miscellaneous soldiers who have never even seen blood.
However, Lei Tong did not expect that he was not the protagonist from the very beginning of this battle, and as the protagonist, Yang Qun did not realize what kind of path he had embarked on.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the road distribution from Chang'an to Hanzhong and Hanzhong to Chengdu. Because of Zhang Lu's actions, the roads built in Chang'an actually stopped outside Baoxie Road. Cao Cao gave Liu Zhang face and did not interfere with Hanzhong. After all, if he continued
In terms of road construction, Cao Cao could actually build a road directly to Nanzheng, which is the core area of Hanzhong County and the capital of Zhang Lu.
Similarly, there are two roads from Sichuan to Hanzhong. One is Jinniu Road. This name may not be familiar to you, but there are Yangping Pass and Jianmen Pass on this road. In short, this road is a tiankeng. Generally speaking, there are three
Thousands of people guard the gate, but 30,000 cannot penetrate it...
As for the other road called Micang Road, this road is more pitted than the Jinniu Road. The problem with Micang Road is that there is no road. Since ancient times, very few people have dared to lead an army to take this road because it is too dangerous. Liu Zhang was just because of this
The reason was that we chose to penetrate the rice warehouse road.
After all, it is at most a hundred miles away from Micang Road to Nanzheng. It is more reliable to say that the distance is closer than that of Jinniu Road. However, Liu Zhang was the only one who dared to go through this road. If it had been anyone else, he would never have done it.
Go this way.
It is precisely because of this reason that although Zhang Lu knew that Liu Zhang was building a road on Micang Road, he never took action because if the road was not built, even Zhang Lu would not be able to do it.
Go to Yangping Pass, Jiameng Pass, wake up, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and the others are so aggressive that they are not willing to go there to fight, you know how difficult that place is to fight.
The two sides were in a stalemate until not long ago when Liu Zhang was finally about to build the Mi Cang Road. Zhang Lu used divination to ask for auspicious days and got great luck. After he was sure that he had the right time, place and people in his hands, he made a decisive decision.
All troops and horses went to wait for Liu Zhang outside Micang Road.
There is a saying in the art of war: be close and wait for distance, wait for idleness for labor, wait for hunger for hunger. This is how to control strength. Zhang Lushen thought so, so he gathered 40,000 troops and waited for Liu Zhang about thirty miles outside Micang Road.
As soon as Liu Zhang had repaired the Mi Cang Road, he led his army and marched straight in to capture Sichuan and Shu.
However, the development of things was completely different from what Zhang Lu thought. Mi Cang Dao was indeed penetrated by Liu Zhang. However, Liu Zhang did not have the slightest fear when he met Zhang Lu, who was waiting for work.
"Hahaha, Liu Jiyu, you have built the rice warehouse road. How do you feel when you see me waiting here?" Zhang Lu looked like a villain who had succeeded. Forty thousand troops were lined up behind him, but the formation was sparse.
Mi Mi knew that they were just a group of miscellaneous soldiers who had undergone some training.
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Lu opposite him indifferently, not wanting to mention it at all. After two battles in the Central and Southern Battlefields, Liu Zhang had already learned the ability to count the number of people on the opposite side, and also had the basic ability to judge the strength of the legion.
Zhang Lu's army is garbage, garbage that can't even hold a flag, but large non-burnable garbage can be recycled!
Lei Tong has discovered the flaw at this time and is ready to seize the flaw and capture the opponent alive. However, Yang Qun and Yang Qun's subordinates are a little weak at this time. They are opponents of the same level as the Zhang Lu soldiers on the opposite side, and they also have no
Participated in the war.
Lei Tong discovered this, but didn't care. He was already ready to rush in and kill Zhang Lu to capture the flag. He had this ability and was still alive after fighting a monster like Rahul. Lei Tong now has it.
A certain sense of war intuition and judgment.
Liu Zhang's indifference made Zhang Lu, who thought he had the upper hand, extremely angry. He had been like this before, had such a condescending look, had executed his mother like this, had carried the coffin through Hanzhong with such indifference, but this time it was clearly
He had the advantage, and he still had this look in his eyes. He, Zhang Lu, was going to teach Liu Zhang how to behave today!
"Charge!" Zhang Lu roared and ordered. Zhang Wei, Yang Bai and others behind him led the army and rushed in the direction of Liu Zhang. Although Yang Ren and Yang Ang were gone, Zhang Lu's 40,000 army was not.
For vegetarians, it doesn't matter what formation, combat regulations, coordination, or reserve forces.
In Zhang Lu's opinion, his own legion was several times larger than his opponent's, and according to the Art of War, he was waiting for work. If he could be defeated, why would Sun Tzu's Art of War boast so much?
Lei Tong calmly began to arrange the defense line, gathering the backbone and personal guards, and prepared to launch a counterattack with Zhang Wei as the target. This battle was not a big problem.
The moment Zhang Lu launched his charge, Yang Qun couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs and his scalp was a little numb when he saw the crowd on the opposite side. There were too many people and it was endless. He really had never participated in a war, so he didn't know how to dispatch. To be precise,
He is just an engineer.
When the crowd rushed over, Lei Tong's position naturally began to fire arrows under the organization of the backbone of the veterans. However, Yang Qun's subordinates did not have this consciousness. Of course, they did not have many bows and arrows. As Yang Qun's soldiers, He Yang
Everyone's reaction was exactly the same: fear, panic, weak legs, and wanting to run, but couldn't move their legs.
As the fierce crowd surged fifty steps in front of Yang Qun, thanks to his own strength, Yang Qun could already see the ferocious face of the other party.
If it were just one person, it would be fine to look at him like that, but with everyone looking at him like that, Yang Qun's heart could no longer bear it and began to collapse. However, how should I put it, some people were so frightened that they went crazy, while some people were frightened to the point of madness.
Once you get to the end, you will calm down.
"Ah ah ah, the legions are attacking!" It was obvious that Yang Qun was the latter. At the moment when the fear broke through his endurance limit, Yang Qun let out a miserable howl, then swung his sword and slashed forward.
It was repeated tens of thousands of times over the years, and the almost instinctive movements led all the soldiers to trigger the legion's attack.
