The city gate of Deyang opened, and the first thing exposed was a small white flag. The soldiers who had rushed to the city gate stopped instantly. This formation made it obvious that the opponent was about to surrender. Wei Yan was overjoyed and threw several soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers pushed it aside and laughed loudly: "Okay! After so many days of work, so many people have died, so there is an explanation! Go and bring that Zhang Ren into the camp for me!"
The general had already taken a few steps, but after thinking about it he felt something was wrong: "General, Zhang Ren's battle flag is still on top of the city, which means Zhang Ren has not surrendered!"
"What?" Wei Yan took a closer look. Indeed, not only Zhang Ren's battle flag was still on the top of Deyang's city, but Yizhou's battle flag was also there, and they looked particularly energetic. In the breeze, several Yizhou soldiers
Standing straight on the top of the city, Wei Yan's expression suddenly changed: "How dare you lie to me! These guys must be here to pretend to surrender! After the military order was sent, shoot them to death with random arrows!"
The deputy general said hurriedly: "General, think twice! Maybe these people really come to surrender! If they shoot arrows, I'm afraid..."
"I am a general, do as I say!" Wei Yan glared and put his right hand on the handle of the sword. Although these lieutenants and generals were assigned by Zhuge Liang, on this battlefield, anything can happen.
There is nothing strange about the death of a deputy general and general.
Zhang Ren looked at the group of soldiers holding high white flags under the city. Behind them were the people of Deyang. Now the city had run out of ammunition and food. Everything that could be eaten was eaten. Not even a mouse was left. The people
I have endured it to the limit. As a general in Yizhou, I must not let the people of Yizhou starve to death. Zhang Ren took advantage of the surrender of the soldiers and released the people out of the city to let them live!
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly. The defeated soldiers walked very slowly, for fear that their untimely actions would offend the people on the opposite side. I came out to surrender because I didn't want to die. Wouldn't it be unjust to die here? Far away, fight.
The soldier holding the flag shouted loudly: "Don't shoot the arrows, we are here to surrender! Don't shoot the arrows!"
While shouting, I felt something was wrong. The archers of Liu Bei's army on the opposite side were gathering, and there were more and more of them. The soldiers holding the flag swallowed hard: "We are really here to surrender, there is no harm in it! Please don't shoot arrows!"
The general looked at this group of people and felt a little unbearable. However, the military order had been issued and he had no choice but to obey it. He raised his hand and said: "Get ready!" The archers took out their arrows from the quivers behind their backs and lightly clasped them on the bow strings.
The general sighed softly and waved his arm downwards. The archer released his right hand. With a "buzz" sound, a large black arrow shrouded the surrendering soldiers like a dark cloud.
No one expected the sudden change. Whether it was these surrendering soldiers or the people following them, even Zhang Ren and Lengbao who were standing on the top of the city were shocked. Surrendering has happened since ancient times.
Why did the tradition of not killing the enemy change today? Didn't Liu Beijun do it for the people? Zhang Ren couldn't wait to find something to catch these arrows.
"They deserve it! These cowards!" Leng Bao cursed fiercely.
Arrows were everywhere. The soldiers had put down their weapons and even took off their leather armor. They watched the arrows flying towards them and hurriedly ran around. Unfortunately, there were too many arrows.
, the coverage area is too large, and the crowd knows how to avoid danger. The squeezing and trampling of each other has killed many people. When the arrows fly, the chaotic crowd has no defense ability at all.
"Hahaha..." Wei Yan laughed loudly: "You are still trying this trick in front of me, this Zhang Ren is still a little green! Keep shooting arrows, don't stop, I will kill as many as he comes out!"
Zhang Ren punched the city head, and a piece of the city wall collapsed immediately. Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and kept exerting force with his hands. He had no choice but to watch the soldiers and people.
They were shot alive. The only gratifying thing is that hundreds of people closest to the city gate escaped, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
In a large square, corpses were piled up layer by layer, with clusters of arrow tail feathers pointing towards the sky, like an unharvested crop field, which looked flat at a glance. A thin figure slowly stood up from the pile of corpses.
He stood up, turned around and looked at everything around him. It took a long time before he cried out: "Mom! Dad! Where are you! Where are you!"
The child didn't know where he was pressed, but he managed to escape from such a dense rain of arrows. The clothes on his body had turned purple, and strips were flying in the wind. The thin figure staggered feebly among the corpses.
Move. No one who heard the miserable cry could bear to look at it again.
Wei Yan said "Hmm", as if he felt a little incredible, and grabbed the deputy general's collar: "Why is there still one alive?"
The deputy general wanted to say something else, but Wei Yan immediately interrupted: "I have given orders to kill as many as you come out. I won't argue with you about those who escape. The one who is alive should be dealt with immediately!"
The deputy general couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head away from looking at him. Wei Yan gritted his teeth and pointed at the deputy general: "Wait! Wait!" He grabbed the bow and arrow in the archer's hand, bent the bow and aimed the arrow at the thin body, and used both arms to
He pulled it outward. The bow and arrow flew towards the child with the vibration of the bowstring. Everyone took a breath of cold air and hoped that the child could make some move to avoid the bow and arrow. Unfortunately, the child stood there.
On the pile of corpses, they were still calling for their parents.
"Ding!" There was a crisp sound, followed by bursts of hoofbeats. A war horse rushed out from Deyang City, with a man on the horse, a sword hanging from his waist, and a long spear hanging from the saddle. A curved bow in his hand.
Still holding it high, the war horse was very fast and rushed straight towards the child.
"How dare you, Zhang Ren, come out! If you want to save that child, you have to stay by yourself!" Wei Yan regained his energy and took out another feather arrow from the archer's quiver, aimed at Zhang Ren and let go immediately.
Zhang Ren was also unambiguous. The arrow just shot down Wei Yan's bow, which was beyond his expectation. Next, he could no longer use bows and arrows. His strength was not bows but spears. Wei Yan's arrows flew towards him,
Zhang Ren swung his spear and knocked down the arrow. The war horse did not slow down at all and still ran towards the child. How could Wei Yan give up and continued to fire arrows. Zhang Ren dodged left and right, and the war horse made a beautiful circle around the child.
Circle, put his arms around the child's waist, and ran towards the city gate along the original path.
Wei Yan yelled angrily and ordered the archers to release arrows, but no one moved. Everyone looked at him with contempt. Wei Yan didn't want to rush to Deyang City and become someone's target. Look,
Looking at Zhang Renyuan's retreating figure, he threw the bow and arrow to the ground: "This is your disobedience to military orders, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Zhuge Liang has been watching the situation on the battlefield from the high hill next to him. As a commander, he has to keep abreast of the situation of the battle at all times. Zhang Ren released his soldiers and Zhuge Liang saw it; Wei Yan ordered the shooting, and Zhuge Liang also saw it; even just now Zhang Ren released his soldiers and Zhuge Liang saw it.
Zhuge Liang saw clearly the matter of riding alone to save people. Zhuge Liang loved and hated Zhang Ren. What he loved was Zhang Ren's talent, but what he hated was why Zhang Ren didn't surrender.
Before entering Shu, Zhuge Liang had already conducted an in-depth investigation of the civil servants and generals in Shu. Liu Yan was able to occupy Shu for so long because he relied entirely on two people, Huang Quan in literature and Zhang Ren in military affairs. These two people were the most powerful people in Shu.
The mainstay of Zhang Ren. Although Zhang Ren is young, he followed Liu Yan relatively late. He is now the governor of Yizhou. Huang Quan has his own unique insights into both politics and military affairs. The reason why Liu Zhang can survive with only Chengdu
, the big reason lies in Huang Quan and Zhang Ren.
After Zhuge Liang looked at it, he turned around and entered his tent without saying a word. Ma Liang sighed: "This Wei Yan has disrupted all our plans. Chengdu is an important town in Yizhou, with soldiers, horses, grain and grass.
The loyalty of the people is the highest, so if we kill people at the gate of Chengdu, how can Chengdu surrender?"
Sun Qian nodded: "Ji Chang is right. The last time Taishi Ci massacred the village, many Shu people were disgusted. Today Wei Yan does it again. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter Chengdu!"
Ma Di chuckled: "A general must assess the situation. If Wei Yan didn't kill those people and found out that it was Zhang Ren's trick when he got closer, wouldn't our troops and horses suffer a big loss? I think it might be possible to kill them all.
It’s the best way!”
"Nonsense!" Ma Liang hated that his younger brother was incompetent. Although he was somewhat talented and learned, he was as uninhibited as Pang Tong. If he could become Pang Tong again, that would be the biggest shame of the Ma family! Ma Liang glared at Ma Su: "Let's discuss this matter with the military advisor.
Don't interrupt!"
Zhuge Liang let out a long breath: "You Chang is right! This is also a helpless move by Wei Yan! Now that Deyang City is empty, the three armies are ordered to continue attacking. We will definitely capture Deyang City before dark today!"
Zhang Ren jumped off his horse, handed the child to a soldier, and hurriedly climbed up the city wall. He just couldn't bear it and went down to take action. Now that Wei Yan knows his true and falsehood, the next battle will be difficult. For
As long as he could hold on for a while, Zhang Ren was determined to die. As he climbed the steps, he tore off a strip from his shirt and tied the sword to his hand.
"General, you are really powerful! That move just now was really beautiful!" Leng Bao didn't seem to be worried about the war, but was more interested in Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren ignored him and went directly to the city wall and took a look outside: "How many people do we have now?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Bao, who had been in high spirits just now, suddenly became quiet: "Everyone who can walk has left, and there are less than a hundred people left! General, how do you say we will fight? Even if we die together, we brothers will die together."
Zhang Ren chuckled: "Okay, I still have a hundred heroes in Yizhou. Since we are all heroes, how can we die in defense? It is better to rush out and fight with Liu Bei's army. It will be a pleasure!"
