Chapter 663 Zhan Hanzhong

"Speed up the process, and there are still two days to get to Chenggu and lose what you don't need." Hua Xiong shouted that walking on this road consumes a lot of fighting horses. Not only physical strength, but also the horseshoes on the horse's palm are gradually flattened under the erosion of the mountain road. Fortunately, the soldiers in the army are generally nailed to the horse's paws.

After a full night's rest, Hua Xiong ordered his soldiers to get ready and began to go towards Chenggu.

Under the governance of Zhang Lu, Hanzhong has been flat, and even there has been no major rebellion in Hanzhong for many years. There are no mountain thieves near Chenggu, and most of the people in the city believe in the Wudou rice religion.

A dense dark shadow suddenly appeared in the distance, which surprised the defenders. There had been no war in Hanzhong for a long time. Although the soldiers usually trained, they lacked actual combat experience. In the face of such a situation, they were also a little overwhelmed. After their reaction, the cavalry had come to the city.

The gate opened, and the cavalry rushed in, and the resistance in the city was quickly calmed down. The solid people only knew Master Zhang, but did not know that there was a Xiliang army in the world, which made Hua Xiong really angry. Did this Master Zhang in Hanzhong not understand the world's major events in his spare time? And these people were really too ignorant. .

There were 3,000 defenders in the city, most of whom chose to surrender. After the cavalry suddenly broke into the city and panicked, the people in the city gradually calmed down, because these soldiers did not do anything out of the ordinary at all. They replaced Yang Song's soldiers and began to patrol. Everything was no different from when Zhang Lu ruled. But the families in the city don't think so. Under the governance of Zhang Lu, they can obtain great benefits. The solid master is replaced by the Xiliang army, and all advantages will be lost. They will secretly encourage the people to rebel. However, these rabbles, in the current situation of cavalry, are not worth mentioning at all, and even let Hua Xiong general the city. The family in the middle has cleaned up.

The people also cast curious eyes on the cavalry. The machete horse walked on the street, pulling the wind to the extreme. If the Central Plains princes lack war horses, Yizhou basically had no cavalry. In addition to the cavalry used for summoning the military situation, as well as the generals riding horses in the army, the people rarely see cavalry.

Yang Song was also brought to Hua Xiong by the cavalry.

Yang Song is a famous general of the Hanzhong Army. His understanding of the world's major events is naturally not comparable to that of the stupid people in the city. Knowing that it was the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, he immediately chose to surrender, and even there was a trace of flattery when he saw Hua Xiong.

Although Hua Xiong is a little disgusted with Yang Song, the war in Hanzhong is crucial, which is related to whether the Xiliang Army can occupy Yizhou.

After a few words of relief, Hua Xiong said, "General Yang is a famous general in the Han Dynasty. He has been guarded for many years. It can be said that he has worked hard. The people in the city can live and work in peace and contentment, which is inseparable from the credit of the general."

After staying in the military class for a long time, my speech has become very organized.

"Thank you, General Hua, for your praise. The villain is very frightened." Yang Song said with a smile.

"For the attack of Hanzhong, we have to rely more on General Yang. If the vanguard army can capture Hanzhong, General Yang's contribution is indispensable. The Japanese general will also tell the emperor about the general's achievements in the memorial. If someone is willing to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude." The first half of the sentence is quite pleasant, and the last half of the sentence exposes Hua Xiong's rude character.

"Thank you, general, thank you, general. The emperor is famous all over the world, and the villain has longed for it." After a little thought, Yang Song said, "It's just that there are 50,000 soldiers in the county, most of whom are followers of Master Zhang. It's really difficult to capture Hanzhong."

Hua Xiong frowned and said, "Does General Yang have no plan?"

"According to the general, if I lead the soldiers under General Yang to the county and earn the gate, Hanzhong will be in the hands of our army." Hua Xiongdao.

"If General Hua uses such a strategy, he will definitely be a big defeat. Lord Yan has an order, but all the army that leaves the land needs to say hello in advance. Even if the enemy comes in, he can't go to the county." Yang Songdao.

Hua Xiong knew it in his heart. He didn't expect that there were such unwritten rules in Hanzhong. If there was an enemy attack, wouldn't he wait for destruction?

In fact, it is also this Huaxiong's raid. There is no preparation in the city. Otherwise, there are 3,000 soldiers in Yang Song's hands. Tens of thousands of people in Xiliang can't easily attack it. The people of Hanzhong believe in the Wudou Rice Religion. If they are not in it, they will never understand how fanatical they are. For the sake of a command of the master, they are willing to count. Tens of thousands of people went to die. Under such circumstances, who dares to say that a city can be easily attacked?

The army and the people in the city guarded together, which was enough to make the invaders touch their heads and bleed. It was also Hua Xiong's good luck. Under the sneak attack from afar, he did not let the defenders react.

After listening to Yang Song's explanation, Hua Xiong had to report the news to the army and let Guo Wei decide the situation in the city.

When Guo Wei's army came to Chenggu, the news about the Xiliang Army's attack on Hanzhong had been widely spread in Yizhou. Zhang Lu even transferred the soldiers and horses from the nearby county into the county to guard against the Xiliang Army. At the same time, he asked Liu Zhang from Chengdu for help. No matter how discord the relationship between the two was before, Hanzhong has always been the rule of Yizhou. On the ground, there are soldiers coming to invade. Liu Zhang can't sit and watch. I believe Liu Zhang still understands the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

With the life-threatening charm of the Xiliang Army, Zhuge Liang's progress is very fast. Anyway, Liu Zhang has such a foreign aid as Liu Bei's army to put Zhuge Liang in.

In Hanzhong, he was surrounded by 50,000 Xiliang troops. Guo Yan did not come up and took a fierce attack. Instead, he stopped to wait and see what was going on in the city. In front of Jia Rong, Zhang Song was also a little afraid of Zhang Lu, mainly because of the Wudou Rice Religion he formed, which had a great influence in Hanzhong and even the whole Yizhou. The believers One of the orders of the godmaster is willing to give everything, which is similar to the cults of later generations. How can they not make people feel afraid? This is also the reason why Liu Yan turned a blind eye to the things in Hanzhong when he was alive. Anyway, Zhang Lu will not make trouble here, but just focus on the development of religion.

There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, but the defenders in the city and the people are more than 100,000. When all the people are soldiers, it is quite difficult to attack.

Looking at the persuasion letter sent by the envoy of the Xiliang army, Zhang Lu's face was not very good-looking. At the beginning, he also forced Liu Yan too hard to capture Hanzhong. Otherwise, according to his character, he would definitely not make extreme actions. Xiliang's army soldiers were under the city, and what he, the master was also a little unstable, but what was more important was about how he could Protect the people in the city.

Yanpu advised: "The lord has been sitting in Hanzhong for many years, and the Xiliang army has come from afar. The soldiers are tired and it is difficult to transport grain and grass. Our army has not had the strength to fight. As long as we stick to the city and wait for the Xiliang army to run out of food, it will retreat."

Zhang Lu nodded and said yes, and ordered, "Yang Ang and Yang Bo and Zhang Wei strengthen the city defense, prepare the city defense materials, and let all the soldiers cheer up."

"I heard that when the Xiliang Army is fighting, I like to steal the gates or assassinate important generals in the army. After you go back, you must pay attention to your own safety." As the chief counselor in Hanzhong, Yanpu is still very important. Political affairs in the army are generally handled by Yanpu. Zhang Lu also trusts Yanpu very much, which can be said that the emperor and ministers know each other.

It has been a month since the army was sent, and the action of Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou has also spread to the Xiliang army. Guo Yan felt the critical situation. Although Zhuge Liang only had 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, he did not dare to despise it at all. Jia Rong once analyzed Zhuge Liang, who was a young demon. Since assisting Liu Bei, he has not After the defeat, Cao Jun also suffered repeated losses in his hands and became the focus of the Xiliang Army.

"General, our army has been besieging Hanzhong for seven days. We should attack as soon as possible in order to capture Hanzhong as soon as possible." Xu Shudao.

Guo Yan nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xu's words are very true. This is what I mean. Yizhou is closed. I definitely don't know what kind of weapon our army has. We can make achievements in the first battle, and then occupy Hanzhong."

The next day, with the rumble of war drums, the Xiliang army began to attack Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu climbed the city wall accompanied by a group of generals. When did he see such a siege battle? When he saw the dense Xiliang army soldiers and equipment such as the siege ladders, he felt that his mind was constantly trembling. As a leader, he faced tens of thousands of believers and did not have the current fear.

Just a quarter of an hour before the siege battle, the defenders were completely suppressed under the attack of the crossbow car. After Lu Huan's transformation, the speed of the crossbow car has greatly increased, and the adaptability and the accuracy of the attack have also improved a lot. Even Lu Huan made a change that made an incomparable admiration of the craftsmen in the workshop. The crossbow car did not It can only fire all the crossbow arrows at once, and can also shoot them out one by one. In this way, the suppression of the city is greater, and even the arrows of the crossbow can be saved. Unlike in the past, the soldiers responsible for the crossbow can also aim calmly, and the power has been improved by more than one.

After more than a dozen people in black approached the gate, the gate was undoubtedly blown up. The Xiliang army swarming into the city disintegrated all the preparations made by Zhang Lu in advance. In front of the strong cavalry and infantry, the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city seemed very weak, but Zhang Lu's prestige in the city was too high, and many people were not afraid of death. He came forward and resisted the charge of the cavalry with flesh and blood, which made the Xiliang army suffer a small loss.

And Zhang Lu himself rushed out of the siege under the protection of Yanpu and Zhang Wei.

After the smooth occupation of Hanzhong, Guo Yu reported his victory in Chang'an and began to pursue Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu's influence in Hanzhong was too great, far compared with the Xiliang army. Jia Rong's combat plan proposed that after capturing Hanzhong, Zhang Lu would be captured alive, and Hanzhong could be all pacified. Otherwise, the Xiliang army could not Do your best to attack Yizhou.
