Chapter 111 Divine Soldiers Fall from Heaven

Zhang Ren is still a step late.

Because there was no raft to cross the river, although Zhang Ren withdrew from the battlefield in time after the mid-ambush, he could only retreat along the river first and run across the Zhudi to Qianwei. Along the way, Zhang Fei led the army to chase, and the Sichuan army rushed like a bird with a frightened bow. When Zhang Ren retreated to Qianwei, he counted the people under his command. There were no more than 23,000 people in total, and the casualties were actually more than half.

After a short break, Zhang Ren sent someone to tell Liu Zhang in Chengdu that he would continue to send troops to help him guard Ba County. After receiving Zhang Ren's war report, Liu Zhang was extremely annoyed by the unfavorable situation, but he was angry. Zhang Ren was the first general under his command and still had to rely on him now. To this end, Liu Zhang sent General Xiang Cun and Fu Jin to lead 20,000 people to reinforce Zhang Ren. After gathering these two thousand reinforcements, Zhang Ren prepared to garrison in Ba County again. But at this time, news came that after ambushing him, Zhang Fei sent Kou Feng to lead a partial division and used Gao Xiang to deceive the gate of Jiangzhou, thus occupying Ba County. Zhang Ren had no choice but to lead his troops to defend the gateway of Chengdu, and at the same time, he divided troops to assist Yan Yan to guard Langzhong.

"General, there is nothing unusual about General Yanyan in Ba County. Why do you need to be stationed?" Ma Han didn't understand Zhang Ren's decision.

"It's not that I don't believe General Yan, but at present, our army is under enemy on both sides, and the war is unfavorable. It's very difficult for me to face Zhang Fei here. If General Yan can repel Zhao Feng, he can also relieve the pressure on my side a little!" Zhang Ren sighed. Ma Han and others were silent when they heard the words. The loss of Ba County was really difficult for them to accept. I wanted to fight a defensive counterattack for a long time, but I finally got it, which was a big psychological blow to them.

After calming down a little, Zhang Ren also devoted himself to the next battle. He sent him to investigate all the key roads at night, and then he took command of the city. What he didn't know was that Jiangyou, which was not far away from him, had quietly come to the crisis.

"General, we have finally set foot on the skyscrapers!" Ma Zhen looked at the vast top of the mountain and couldn't help crying with joy for a moment. Not only him, but also Wang Ping, Yang Ren and Niu Jin, who climbed the mountain together for half a month, danced excitedly. After paying the price of nearly 500 people falling off the cliff, the remaining 10,000 people finally came to the Skyscraper. The Skyscraper Mountain is already very steep up and down from the side where they came. The problem is that the opposite side of the mountain is more dangerous, almost a steep cliff. If it hadn't been for Zhao Feng's preparation, they would have had to go down like Deng Ai.

"The army rests here all day, arranges rope ladders at the same time, rests, and then go down the ridge this evening, and take advantage of the fog to raid the river oil again early tomorrow morning!" Zhao Feng looked at the tired soldiers. Now it's really too difficult for them to go down the mountain. Besides, I still have enough six-day rations around me, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

At present, the soldiers were stationed on the mountain, and more than a hundred strong men carrying nails and ropes began to arrange rope ladders. At the same time, Zhao Feng ordered people to take out the carrier pigeons with him and send a message to tell He Qi and Lu Xun that he had successfully arrived at Motianling all the way, so that they were ready to divide their troops to pick up the Jianmeng Pass and Jianmen Pass. But the development of things is no longer what he can expect in the ravine.

"Niu Jin, tomorrow you choose 500 of the most elite brothers, seize the Jiangyou City Gate for me in one fell swoop, and then respond to the army to kill in!" Zhao Feng told me. This kind of thing still needs to be done by Niu Jin, a desperado, and the latter naturally keeps his promise.

The weather is good on this day. The sun is not too big, but the cool breeze, so it feels very comfortable for more than 9,000 people to blow the mountain breeze on the top of the mountain. In the afternoon, a hundred rope ladders had been pressed, and the army began to go down the mountain one after another. Some people also died halfway because the rope ladder was damaged or slipped under their feet, but the total number of casualties was only a dozen. By the time more than 9,000 people went down the mountain, it was already nightfall.

"Zijun, you lead the way ahead, and the army set out overnight. You must rush to Jiangyou before dawn!" Zhao Feng looked at the sky and didn't know if he didn't have time. However, Danyang's elite soldiers are the elite in the world. It should be no problem to march in a hurry!

"General, don't worry, we will have time!" As if he knew what Zhao Feng was worried about, Wang Ping was full of confidence. The two assembled their troops as soon as possible, and then rushed to Jiangyou at full speed under the leadership of Wang Ping.

At night, the moon was very big and there were many stars. There was no need for torches. The group hurriedly galloped on the mountain road. Zhao Feng originally wanted to discard the 500 fork iron hoofs directly in order to be in a hurry, but Ma Yan thought that BMW was rare, so he finally took them down the cliff with a rope. Later, Zhao Feng finally understood why the man kept it, because now Ma Yan was riding with him.

Don't be afraid of making too much noise, because the people of Xichuan didn't expect that the Hanzhong military gods would unconsciously come to their hinterland. The mountain city is foggy in summer. By the time of dawn, the fog has covered the whole mountain. If the people around you are a little farther away, you can't see it.

"General, Captain Wang asked me to tell you that there are still five miles left in front of Jiangyou!" While Zhao Feng was a little stunned, Niu Jin's voice came to his ears. Looking around, Zhao Feng was sure that under such a heavy fog, five miles was enough to make people unable to see everything clearly. Now he ordered the whole army to stop. According to the plan agreed in advance, Niu Jin led the people to seize the gate of Jiangyou before the fog dissipated. Zhao Feng himself led an army to ambush in the vegetation on both sides of the mountain road. With the cover of fog, even the pedestrians walking on the road could not find their tracks.

Although the fog can make people can't see things clearly, it can't stop the spread of sound. Not long after Zhao Feng and others were ambushed, they gradually began to hear the sound of pedestrians passing by. They all thought they were the people who went to Jiangyou City. Not long after, there were more and more people. Zhao Feng also secretly prayed in his heart that the fog would not dissipate, so that the army could hide deeper.

I don't know how long it took, I finally heard the creaking sound of opening the gate, and the people who had gathered under the city began to prepare to enter the city. At this moment, Niu Jin, who had been ambushed for a long time, led 500 warriors out in an instant and rushed to the gate that was too late to close.

"Enemy attack, close the gate, ah!" A soldier guarding the gate of the city began the encounter with his screams. He killed the man in front of him with a knife, and Niu Jin did not stop to lead the army to kill in the city. At the same time, Zhao Feng's army, which was ambushed on both sides of the mountain road five miles away, also made rapid progress, trying to take advantage of the situation to take down the river oil as soon as possible.

"The general is not good, the Hanzhong army is coming!" As soon as Yang Huai in Jiangyou City got up, he was almost fainted by the unexpected news. What are you talking about? Is it the Hanzhong Army? Yang Huai held the soldier who came to pass the order in front of him and asked in disbelief. In fact, there was no need for this person to answer. The shouting outside was getting closer and closer, and even Yang Huai himself heard it.

" Follow me and expel the enemy out of the city!" Yang Huai is Liu Zhang's loyal loyal, and he is never willing to surrender. Although the enemy is not clear now, he still thinks about how to fulfill his duty as a general. Jiangyou is located in the hinterland of Xichuan, and there are only more than 1,000 defenders. Except for hundreds of people guarding the four gates, the rest are stationed in the barracks in the south of the city. Yang Huai hurriedly put on his armor and went to the barracks to gather people.

"Quick!" As soon as he led his guards out of the door, Yang Huai found that the street was full of Hanzhong troops, and he immediately realized that the general trend had gone. At this moment, the Hanzhong army also found him and surrounded him one after another.

"Kill!" Knowing that he had no way out, Yang Huai gritted his teeth and led the army to fight against the trapped beasts. After killing several people in a row, Yang Huai's big knife was blocked by Niu Jin.

"Hey!" Yang Huai split several knives and was separated by Niu Jin. At this time, Wang Ping had also led the army to kill him. After annihilating his subordinates, the two of them did not care about bullying each other and attacked Yang Huai, the big leader.

With a "dang", Yang Huai's big knife and Wang Ping cut at a slight stagnation, and they didn't have time to take back their precautions for a while. Niu Jin accurately grasped the emptiness and stabbed Yang Huai's chest with a spear. The latter quickly dodged, but was still pierced in the shoulder and fainted on the spot with a scream.

"It's even and slow. It may be useful to keep this one!" Niu Jin stopped Wang Ping, who wanted to cut off Yang Huai's head. He had been following Zhao Feng for a long time. Niu Jin also knew that his general had always liked to cheat in war. Now it may be useful to stay in this unconscious Yang Huai.

"You Chang, how's the battle going?" In the government of Jiangyou County, Zhao Feng asked Ma Qian.

"The defenders were defenseless. After the 400 soldiers at the gate were annihilated, all the 1,000 Yizhou troops in the south of the city were surrendered. Ling Laimin of Jiangyou County had surrendered, and now they are outside the door." Ma replied. "

"Come on?" Zhao Feng still has some images of this person. It seems that he is also one of the famous literary ministers of Shu Han in history. He is known as the seven talents of Shuzhong together with Fei Shi, Yang Hong, Qin Mi and others, but he and Fei Shi are still just a small county magistrate.

"Let him in!" Zhao Feng thought for a moment, and soon Ma Yan led a Confucian student in his twenties in. Looking at his clothes, he is very shabby. I think this guy has a humble official position and a mediocre family background.

"Dlai Min has met General Zhao!" Looking at Zhao Feng, who was sitting on the seat of the county magistrate, Lai Min did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and hurriedly saluted.

"It's polite to come to the county magistrate. I heard that the county magistrate is willing to surrender?" Zhao Feng asked faintly. Lai Min listened to his question and quickly replied, "The villain is willing to listen to the general's orders."

"Well, do you know Gao Pei, the guard of Fushui Pass? Where is he guard?" Zhao Feng asked quietly. He

"General Gao Pei is a good friend of General Yang Huai. There are 5,000 people stationed at Fushui Pass!" Lai Min replied quickly. In fact, Zhao Feng already knew these situations, but now that he heard about it, he was convinced that he really defected.

"It's good to come to the county magistrate, Jiamengguan and Jianmenguan's food and fodder to be transported by you?" Zhao Feng continued to ask.

"Except it is!" When Lai Min heard him ask this, her heart suddenly lit up: It seems that Zhao Feng is going to cut off the food channels of these two defenders.

"It's very good. At present, Yang Huai has been captured. Can the county magistrate be willing to help us and open the water gate?" Zhao Feng looked at Lai Min in front of him and asked confidently, not afraid that he would not agree. At the same time, Zhao Feng informed Lu Xun that he was ready to seize the Jianmeng Pass and Jianmen Pass according to the previous plan.
