Chapter 138 Zhang Liao, I am here to avenge Zhongtai
Popular recommendations:
Zhang Liao was the one who killed Sun Guan, and Sun Guan was Zang Ba's good brother. He always kept this hatred in his heart.
Zhang Liao was allowed to escape in Lucheng before, but now it is a rare encounter. How could Zang Ba let him go so easily?
"General Zang, don't be impatient about this matter, we must consider it in the long term." Li Jia advised Zang Ba.
Li Jia was just a commander in another department, but Zang Ba was a general in charge, so he had no control over Zang Ba.
However, Zang Ba could not control him. The two of them did not belong to each other, and they both directly followed Liu Bei's orders.
"What are your plans? Zhang Liao is outside the city now. How can I not avenge my brother!"
"Of course revenge must be avenged, but you have rushed here and the soldiers are tired. It would be better to go out of the city to fight with them after recuperating." Li Jia said.
Zang Ba's heart was already full of hatred at this time, and he could not listen to any advice.
"Li Sima, please stop trying to persuade me. My brothers from Taishan have never been afraid of the enemy. I will definitely defeat Zhang Liao's 5,000 men. Li Sima, please don't go out with me to kill Zhang Liao. This is my Taishan matter."
Li Jia actually wanted to persuade Zang Ba, saying that Zhang Liao's bravery was extraordinary, and if he went into battle impulsively, he might not be able to gain favor.
But he couldn't say such words, which would only anger Zang Ba even more.
But thinking about it again, Zang Ba is angry and goes to fight now. Both sides have equal strength, so they may not be able to defeat Zhang Liao.
"In that case, I will meet General Zang in the city."
That night, Zang Ba ordered people to kill cattle and sheep in the camp and reward the whole army.
"Brothers, Zang Ba knows that you are willing to follow me because I have righteousness in my heart. Sun Zhongtai is Zang Ba's good brother. Zhang Liao, the enemy who killed him, is outside the city now. If you don't avenge yourself, you are not a brother. We must do it for you."
Zhongtai takes revenge!"
Zang Ba held a wine glass in his hand and said to everyone in the army.
"Others say Zhang Liao is brave, but I am not afraid, because I am also brave, and you are also brave. Tomorrow we will go out of the city to fight him. I hope you brothers will show your courage and strength. We can die, but we will never be defeated.
!”
Yin Li shouted: "Behead Zhang Liao and avenge Zhongtai!"
The crowd then shouted: "Kill Zhang Liao and avenge Zhongtai!"
All Taishan soldiers drank together, but Zang Ba asked everyone to drink only one cup, because they would go into battle tomorrow and could not drink more.
On the second day, Zang Ba said to Li Jia: "Li Sima, when we go to war this time, we will not fight back until Zhang Liao is killed. I will leave the defense of the city to you."
Li Jia responded: "General Zang can go to war with confidence. With Li Jia here, the city will not be lost."
Qilu City is actually more important now. It is a city relatively close to Xiapi. If Cao Cao takes it, it will be difficult for Liu Bei's reinforcements to gain a foothold.
Moreover, Cao Cao could block almost all Liu Bei's reinforcements as long as he stationed 10,000 soldiers and horses in Cholu Tun. In this way, Xiapi would be even more frightened and it would be easier to break through.
Perhaps Cao Cao was already regretting at this moment why he didn't send troops to occupy Cholu earlier and let Li Jia and Zang occupy Cholen. For him, he was always somewhat passive.
Zhang Liao was ordered to lead troops to block the reinforcements from Qilu because he wanted to fight the soldiers and horses in Qilu city. Only by defeating the opponent could he better block the opponent.
Before, only Li Jia was in the city, and Zhang Liao knew that he did not dare to fight. Now that Zang Ba has arrived, he is his enemy. Zhang Liao believes that Zang Ba will definitely fight.
Therefore, he has led his troops to the city, preparing for a fierce battle with Zang Ba to completely resolve the grudge between him and Taishan soldiers.
Zang Ba led his troops out of the city and formed a formation. Someone next to him pointed at the enemy general opposite and said, "Commander Zang, that is Zhang Liao who killed Captain Sun."
This was the first time he saw Zhang Liao. During the siege of Lucheng, he surrounded the west city, but Zhang Liao broke through the siege and escaped from the north city.
Zang Ba looked at Zhang Liao and felt that this man was majestic and had a murderous aura about him. It seemed that the rumors were not false, this man was very powerful.
But no matter how fierce he is, I must kill him today to avenge Sun Guan.
"Whoever kills Zhang Liao will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and promoted to captain."
Zang Ba's order goes down, and there will be brave men who will be rewarded heavily.
These brothers come out to fight,
Although it is for loyalty, it is more for the reward.
"Beat the drums and march the troops."
Zang Ba gave another order.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..."
The drum beat sounded, and Zang Ba shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"
Li Jia was watching from the city. He had ordered two thousand soldiers to guard the city gate, waiting for the opportunity to open the door and rush out of the city.
If Zang Ba gained power, they would go out to hunt down the enemy soldiers; if Zang Ba lost power, they would go out to support him.
At this moment, as the drum beat became more and more urgent, Zang Ba clapped his horse and ran straight, leading his troops towards the enemy's formation.
Zhang Liao did not take people like Zang Ba seriously. He was very confident in his own force and believed that he would win this battle.
Seeing Zang Ba charging towards him with his troops, he swung his sword and roared: "Kill!"
He claps his horse and raises his sword, and leads the soldiers to face the charging Taishan soldiers.
In fact, Zang Ba knew that Zhang Liao could kill Sun Guan so quickly, and that this man's force was not something he could match.
Therefore, although he was rushing ahead, he did not run directly towards Zhang Liao. Instead, he deliberately avoided it and went to the other side.
To kill Zhang Liao, you still have to rely on those brothers. If you fight him first and are killed by the other party, then these brothers will lose their fighting spirit and be defeated.
Soon, the two sides rushed together, and Zang Ba brandished his sword and slashed at the enemy soldiers.
Although Zang Ba's military force cannot be compared with Zhang Liao's, nor can it be compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, it is still more than enough to kill these soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, he cut down more than a dozen people in a row, but suddenly found that Yin Li seemed to be unaware of the heights of the sky and was trying hard to kill Zhang Liao.
He wanted to tell Yin Li to stop and say that you are no match for Zhang Liao, but he couldn't.
Zhang Liao also wielded his sword at this moment, slashing left and right, killing more powerfully than Zang Ba.
Zang Ba saw this and secretly sighed at the opponent's brutality, but he had no choice but to kill the opponent's soldiers to vent his anger.
It has to be said that these Taishan soldiers went into battle with anger in their hearts, and they were all relatively good at fighting. When they fought, they appeared to be more courageous than their opponents.
The strength of both sides was even, but Li Jia stood on the city and could see clearly that Zang Ba's Taishan soldiers actually had a slight advantage.
However, they only gained a slight advantage, and they could not defeat each other yet.
Both sides were killing fiercely on the battlefield. Soldiers from both sides fell down one after another, and there were many corpses lying on the ground. However, both sides had no intention of retreating. They were killing more and more fiercely.
This made Li Jia secretly surprised. He was surprised that Zang Ba's Taishan soldiers were really powerful, and even more surprised that Zhang Liao was brave.
Zhang Liao didn't know how many people he killed, but those brave Taishan soldiers no longer dared to approach him. They just kept their distance and surrounded him, shouting.
Yin Li was already wounded in several places, but he slashed and screamed, roared loudly, and clapped his horse to kill Zhang Liao.
"Zhang Liao, I'm here to avenge Zhongtai, take your life now!"
Li Jia secretly cried out, not to mention that Yin Li was injured, even if he was not injured, he was definitely not Zhang Liao's opponent. If he did this, he would only die like Sun Guan.
But apart from being secretly frightened, Li Jia was unable to stop him and watched Yin Li kill Zhang Liao.
