To the Six Generals, these Shu troops in front of the pass were like lambs for them to slaughter. There was no room for them to fight back and they could only be defeated as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
The Yizhou soldiers had not been in battle for a long time, and their battle experience was far inferior to that of the Jinling soldiers. When it came to fighting on the battlefield, the Jinling generals were quite confident in themselves.
After rushing out from Fushui Pass, with Danyang's elite troops as the vanguard, the Jinling Army was divided into six groups and began a massive attack on the enemy.
Zhang Ren outside the city did not expect that the Jinling Army was so confident. Instead of relying on the city, they took the initiative to attack. This really surprised Zhang Ren and others.
However, despite being surprised, Zhang Ren was naturally a little happy in his heart.
If the other party really relies on the pass to defend, wouldn't it be too delayed if the time is long?
Now that they are taking the initiative, it can be said that they have shortened their own time.
At that moment, Zhang Ren ordered the generals in the front line to withdraw their siege equipment to the rear. He himself ordered the Sichuan and Shu generals to set up their positions in the front line, preparing to engage the Jinling Army in close combat.
But Zhang Ren didn't figure it out. Since Tao Shang dared to abandon Cheng Guo and fight with him head-on, he naturally had his considerations and plans in mind.
If we rely on Chengdu and Guo to defend, we don't know how long it will be delayed. Even if Liu Zhang in Chengdu does not send troops for the time being, who knows whether he will suddenly change his mind one day and send troops from Chengdu to support Zhang Ren.
Hurry up and eliminate all uneasy factors and variables. The most important thing is to defeat Zhang Ren quickly!
Therefore, it is imperative for pottery merchants to fight quickly.
Danyang's elite soldiers, led by six generals, split into six groups and attacked Zhang Ren's Shu army from all angles the moment they rushed out of Fushui Pass.
Zhang Ren did not hesitate and commanded the Shu army to face the difficulties. The soldiers from both sides collided and fought bravely.
Guan Yu mustered up all his courage and galloped toward the enemy camp, wielding his sword.
However, someone finally stopped him.
Lu Bu has long been eyeing Guan Yu.
Although before the battle, Tao Shang had made it clear that whoever captured Zhang Ren would be the number one general in Jinling from now on, but for Lu Bu, he had no need for such a title.
He has been a flying general for more than ten years. First, for him, the title of the first general of Jinling has no impact on him.
He has begun to age, and at the end of his prime, Lu Bu wants to do some big things, something that can surpass the fame he earned in the first half of his life.
"Guan Yu, come and accept your fate!"
Following Lu Bu's roar, Fang Tian's painted halberd roared towards Guan Yu like a meteor.
Guan Yu hurriedly raised the sword in his hand to block Lu Bu's weapon.
"Lu Bu!" Guan Yu's eyes sparkled, as if he was igniting a fierce fighting spirit.
Lu Bu shouted proudly: "What happened today all started in Hulao Pass. In the battle at Hulao Pass, there was no winner or loser. Let's put an end to today's battle!"
"Zhenghe Youyi!" Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword high, and then slashed it down heavily on Lu Bu's head.
Lu Bu also picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, and the two men fought each other on the spot, causing a burst of dust to rise up.
Compared with Lu Bu who faced Guan Yu, the pressure on the other generals of the Jinling Army was obviously not that great.
Taishi Ci stabbed Liu Huang to death with a halberd, Xu Chu beheaded Deng Xian, Ma Chao captured Lingbao alive, and Zhao Yun overturned Lei Tong.
The only one who showed signs of fighting hard was Huang Zhong.
The soldiers he led faced Yan Yan, the general of Sichuan and Shu.
Yan Yan is similar in age to Huang Zhong, and they are both veterans who have passed the age of knowing their destiny.
They are both in their fifties and sixties, but the strength of the two generals seems not to have been damaged at all compared to when they were young. The swords in the hands of the two men collided fiercely, making a harsh iron friction and roar.
Voice.
The two fought for more than twenty rounds, and Huang Zhong gradually gained the upper hand. Perhaps because of their similar age, or perhaps because of his admiration for Yan Yan's martial arts, Huang Zhong immediately advised him: "Your Excellency is very old, but you still have the upper hand."
It is really not easy to still have such skill. Liu Zhang is weak, the situation in Xichuan is clear, and the world will be unified sooner or later, why don't you surrender earlier?"
Yan Yan also knew that he had met his opponent today. The old man in front of him was probably no match for him.
-
However, Yan Yan is a man of integrity. Even if he knows that this battle will be defeated, he is still happy and not afraid.
"Hmph, I'm too old to do such rebellious things. If you have the ability, kill me, or stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing Yan Yan being so stubborn, Huang Zhong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Well, since you have the desire to die, I will help you!"
After saying that, Huang Zhong stopped holding back. The sword in his hand flew up and down, slashing left and right, and the shadow of the sword completely enveloped Yan Yan.
As a result, as time went on, Huang Zhong became unable to hold on any longer.
The old man was panting, his arms were getting weaker and weaker, and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead and cheeks, bit by bit.
After a while, Huang Zhong was finally seen being knocked off his horse by Yan Yan, who swept away thousands of troops.
Huang Zhong could have killed Yan Yan with one knife, but he did not do so.
Huang Zhong used the blade to force Yan Yan's throat, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Tie him up!"
The soldiers and horses behind Yan Yan wanted to come to the rescue, but faced with such a situation, there was no way to save him, and the birds, beasts and fish were quickly killed.
Yan Yan was captured alive by Huang Zhong.
The Shu army was being beaten more and more scattered, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Faced with this situation, Zhang Ren began to lose his composure.
He had also thought that there would be a gap in combat power between the Shu Army and the Jinling Army, but he really did not expect that the gap would be so big.
As time passed, Lieutenant Xichuan said to Zhang Ren: "General Zhang, our front line has collapsed. If this continues, the entire army may not be able to save its troops. We cannot continue like this. The general is too dangerous here."
, General, please retreat quickly to avoid danger!"
Zhang Ren looked around, and finally he couldn't help but sigh and said: "But this is the only way."
After saying that, he saw that he was about to leave with the Xichuan captain.
At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses rushed through the diagonal thrust, led by the general Yin Qiang Shuoshuo, who was particularly terrifying.
"Senior Brother Zhang, it's been a long time." Zhao Yun blocked his way on horseback.
When Zhang Ren saw Zhao Yun, he felt somewhat nervous. He glared at Zhao Yun fiercely and said, "Zhao Yun, you want to block my way?"
Zhao Yun leaned forward and said: "Senior Brother Zhang, although we don't know each other, we are all members of the same lineage. I don't want to kill you, so I ask Senior Brother to dismount and surrender."
