    Guan Yu snorted coldly, and quickly taught his deputy general to lead his army to surround and kill the Shu soldiers.  Guan Yu led three thousand black wind cavalry to pursue him.  But he said that not long after Zhang Fei led his troops out of the stronghold half an hour ago.  Huang Quan lives in the stronghold, and the good news comes from the marquis.  Suddenly, a burst of shouts of killing rang out.  After hearing this, Huang Quan's expression changed drastically. When he hurried out of the tent to take a look, he saw a soldier wearing silver dragon armor and holding a bright silver gun with gentian leading his troops into the stronghold.  Huang Quan took a fixed look and was so frightened that his soul flew away. That general was none other than the Divine Dragon General of the Western Tang Dynasty, Zhao Zilong.  Zhao Yun led his troops to charge and kill, but the Shu soldiers were unprepared and were killed in great chaos.  Zhao Yun rushed left and right, leading his troops and horses, and killed everyone he encountered.  Shu's troops were few, they were under attack, and they had no generals to guard them, so they had no power to resist.  The Tang army surrounded the camp heavily and completely.  When Huang Quan saw this, he quickly got on his horse, led dozens of subordinates on horseback, and was about to escape at the west gate.  Suddenly, Zhao Yun saw Huang Quan fleeing, gave a loud shout, and immediately ran away.  

    "Huang Gongheng!! Where to escape!!"

    When Huang Quan heard Zhao Yun's shout, he trembled with fright and quickly whipped up his wings to fly.  Zhao Yun came from behind, and the Yezhao Jade Lion chased after him like a white flash, and rushed behind Huang Quan in a moment.  In a hurry, Huang Quan whipped up his riding whip and struck Zhao Yun in front of him.  Zhao Yun dodged and shot out a gun suddenly, hitting Huang Quan's chest and knocking him off his horse.  Shu soldiers from all around came to rescue him on horseback, but Zhao Yun was left alone, his spear firing like thunder.  After a while, all the dozens of Shu soldiers were killed.  At this time, Tang soldiers from all walks of life arrived, swarmed up and captured Huang Quan.  Zhao Yun captured the Shu army's stronghold, then ordered the sergeants to extinguish the lights, and ordered the archers and crossbowmen to set up ambushes in the stronghold.

    When I was young, there was a chaotic sound in front of the village.  Zhang Fei is leading his remaining soldiers back to his home base.  Zhao Yun watched with keen eyes, and when Zhang Fei rushed in, he gave an order.  I saw arrows like locusts flying above the Tucheng. Zhang Fei was caught unawares and was hit by several arrows. Most of his troops were shot to death.  At this time, the gate of the village opened, and Zhao Yun suddenly flew out with his sword eyes full of murderous intent. He galloped to kill Zhang Fei.  Zhang Fei was so frightened that he quickly reined in his horse and left.  Suddenly, there was another loud shouting from behind.  It turns out that Guan Yu also led his troops to kill him.  Zhang Fei waved his horse whip desperately, and Zhao Yun and Guan Yu led troops to pursue him.  Soon, Wen Han arrived with his troops. Hearing that Zhang Fei had escaped, he sent orders to the troops.  

    "Be sure to rush to Zhang Fei at dawn or night. If you get the first rank, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and you will be granted the title of marquis, and if you get the surviving one, you will be granted the title of general."

    The generals received the order and each wanted to strive for merit and pursue the attack in a meandering manner.  Zhang Fei didn't care about the sleepiness of his men and horses, he just ran around.  The riders gradually dispersed.  Infantrymen who could not advance were often captured.  There were only more than thirty riders left, and they looked at Zitong and left.  Wen Han was about to pursue him along the road, but Xi Zhicai persuaded Wen Han.

    "Now Zhang Fei has been defeated, and almost all the tens of thousands of other soldiers and horses have been wiped out by our army. It is not advisable for my lord to go deep, and we should first collect the troops, reorganize the troops and horses, wait for the troops and supplies to arrive, attack Zitong with all our strength, and then march forward.  Attack into Yizhou, but what if they send light cavalry to attack our army?"

    When Wenhan heard this, he hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said.

    "There is no need for military advisors to worry too much. The grain transport team is personally commanded by Xu Rong. Xu Rong is a cautious person who will definitely guard against it. Zhang Yide is the sworn brother of the big-ear thieves, and he is also extremely brave. If he can kill him, not only will he be able to  It can defeat the spirit of the Shu army, and it can also eliminate a serious problem. How can we withdraw the army with such a great opportunity!"

    After Wenhan finished speaking, he did not listen to Xi Zhicai's advice and ordered all the troops to pursue him.  The armies obeyed the order and pressed heavily on Zitong City.  However, Zhuge Liang said that ten days ago, Zhuge Liang's instructions had been decided, so he personally led Zhang Ren and other generals, drew three thousand light cavalry, took a small road and marched to the foot of Jingge Mountain.  Zhuge Liang sent scouts to investigate and learned that the Tang army's food team was coming from this mountain and would arrive within three days.  Zhuge Liang then taught Zhang Ren to ambush at the mountain pass, and also taught each sergeant to hold a handful of thatch with sulfur, flame and salt inside, each with fire, and each holding a spear and knife.  But seeing Tang soldiers and grain troops arriving, they followed the flag.  As soon as the flag was raised, they all went up together, raised fire in the wind, and burned their chariots and battles.  A group of sergeants took orders.

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s allocation has been decided.  On the second day, I saw a large number of people and horses coming, with a fleet of more than a hundred feet long and thousands of grain carts.  There is an army in front, and the general at the head is Xu Rongye, looking at the flags in the army.  Xu Rong led the troops and when they came to Jingge Mountain, they suddenly stopped and asked the guide.

    "Where is this?"

    The guide hurriedly walked out and replied.

    "Report to the general. This is Jingge Mountain. The terrain of this mountain is flat, which is convenient for walking. If the general sets out at this time, he can cross it tonight."

    After hearing this, Xu Rong looked around and saw dense mountains and forests everywhere. If there was an ambush, it would be in danger.  Xu Rong thought for a while and wanted to order the sergeant to rest until the day came before setting off again.  At this moment, a group of people suddenly arrived. It turned out that Wenhan sent a sergeant to urge Xu Rong to provide food.  When Xu Rong heard the report, he frowned. After hesitating for a while, he changed his mind and ordered the sergeant to speed up and make sure to pass through Jingge Mountain tonight.  As soon as Xu Rong gave his order, a young soldier in black armor suddenly appeared beside him and spoke out words of advice.

    "General, wait a minute. This mountainAlthough the road is flat, there are dense woods everywhere. What if there is an ambush?  "

    Hearing this, Xu Rong's face trembled, and he turned around and saw that the speaker was none other than Deng Ai, the winner of the previous martial arts competition.  But it was said that Deng Ai, Wang Shuang, Wen Shun, Guan Xing and other young heroes all went to war with the army.  However, because everyone was young, Wen Han was afraid that the young people would be too young and energetic and would not know how to restrain themselves, so he temporarily ordered everyone to follow Xu Rong to collect grain as a rear army.  When Xu Rong heard what Deng Ai said, he secretly praised him and said in a solemn voice.

    "What Shi Zai said is true. However, the front army is short of food. To stabilize the morale of the army, we cannot delay it. If this leads to a big mistake, how can we afford it?"

    Hearing this, Deng Ai pondered for a while and suddenly came up with a plan.

    "If that's the case, why doesn't the general divide the food team into two parts? One part rushes forward to meet the front army first. The other part advances cautiously. In this way, if there is an ambush, one part can still be saved.  If there is no ambush, the front army can be resupplied in time."

    Deng Ai was able to speak fluently and clearly at this time, all thanks to the treatment methods taught by Wenhan.  Deng Ai held the special iron beads in his mouth. One month later, his stuttering was cured without medicine.

    Xu Rong listened to the plan, pondered for a while, and felt that it was feasible. He then sent his soldiers to the grain team and ordered his deputy Hu Cheer to lead more than half a thousand grain trucks behind and proceed cautiously.  Xu Rong's allocation had been decided, so he led the army to set off, leading the first half of the grain team into Jingge Mountain first.  As for Hu Che'er, after hearing General Xu Rong's order, he postponed the rear grain truck and moved cautiously, and sent more scouts along the road to explore.  That night, the Shu army scouts discovered the changes in the Tang army's grain transport team, and feared that they would be discovered by the Tang army scouts, so they hurriedly came to report to Zhuge Liang.  After Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly summoned Zhang Ren to see him.

    "Our army has come from afar to plunder food, so it is advantageous to attack quickly. Now the Western Tang Dynasty's food transport team is divided into two parts, one is rushing and the other is cautious. If our army wants to burn them all, it will be in a hurry. You can do it quickly now  Prepare to burn the food troops in the front first. If the troops in the rear see a fire, they will come to rescue you immediately. "

    Zhuge Liang taught him the plan, and Zhang Ren accepted the plan and left.  At the second watch of the night, all the food transport teams in front of the Western Tang Dynasty entered the mountain road.  Suddenly, there was a sound of drum beating, and the cannonballs flew and fell.  Most of the Tang soldiers were killed.  There were loud shouts of killing all around, and various Shu army cavalry came over to kill them. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there were.  Seeing this, Xu Rong quickly ordered his sergeants to prepare for battle.  But the sergeant was so frightened that he didn't care about the military order and ran away in all directions.  After a while, the Shu army cavalry rushed over and set fire to the chariots along the road.  As soon as the fire started, the wind blew fiercely, and the fire spread instantly, and a flame like a fire dragon flew into the sky, shining like daylight.  Xu Rong led his troops to fight, shooting cold arrows everywhere.  As Xu Rong rushed to kill, dozens of crossbow arrows were fired from all directions.  These crossbows, called continuous crossbows and also called "Zhuge crossbows", were made by Zhuge Liang. They can fire crossbow arrows continuously, and can fire three arrows in a row.  The lethality is much more powerful than ordinary crossbows.  Xu Rong heard the sound of arrows and quickly drew his gun to resist.  Just after one round of arrows hit, another round of arrows came at a very fast interval.  Xu Rong is nearly sixty years old. He is old and no longer as brave as he used to be.  After three rounds of arrows, Xu Rong was shot in the right arm by a crossbow arrow and fell off his horse.  A group of Shu army cavalry rushed over.  At this moment, a young major general rushed over on horseback, carrying a bright silver tiger-headed spear, and intercepted the pair of Shu army cavalry. The spear was fired like a sudden rain, stabbing dozens of people to death in an instant and saving the life of the Shu army.  Xu Rong, turned over and fought his way to escape.  Zhuge Liang was hiding in a high mountain. When he saw a young major general rescuing Xu Rong, his complexion changed and he quickly ordered this to a soldier beside him.  The general took the order and led a light cavalry away.  Let's say that the young major general who rescued Xu Rong was none other than Deng Ai.  Deng Ai protected Xu Rong and rushed out of the mountain road, just escaping from the fire.  Suddenly, there was a cry of killing.  A group of people blocked the road and came to kill them.  At the beginning, a Shu army soldier took the lead and raised a seven-foot sword to watch Deng Ai coming to kill him.  Deng Aihu stared, shouted loudly, and rushed to meet him.  As the two horses charged each other, the Shu general slashed with his sword, but Deng Ai ducked out of the way. At the same time, a spear suddenly came out, hitting him right in the heart.  Deng Ai killed the Shu general with one move, expecting the Shu army to rush over.  Seeing Deng Ai's bravery, the Shu army's cavalry were horrified. Deng Ai crashed into the crowd, dashed from left to right, and killed many people. It was as if they were in a deserted place. They were so brave that they defeated the Shu army.  And scattered.  Seeing Deng Ai's bravery, Xu Rong suddenly felt as if he had seen the shadow of Zhao Yun who had just fledged in the early days. He was momentarily distracted. It was not until Deng Ai called that Xu Rong realized what he was doing and fled after Deng Ai.

    Let's say that Hu Cheer led the back of the food team, and suddenly he could see the Jing Ge Mountain, the fire was soaring, and his face was frightened.  At this moment, a young soldier wearing Qinglin armor, with a face as handsome as a jade, and a heroic appearance said.
