Zhuge Liang sat in charge of the central army and commanded the soldiers to fight in an orderly manner. The combat effectiveness and training of these soldiers were not very good. Zhuge Liang still commanded well. The cooperation between the arms and the traps set in the camp gave the Xiliang army a hard time. Not a small loss. Yan Yan saw Zhuge Liang's calm manner, and secretly marveled in his heart. With such talents, in time, he would definitely become a strong enemy of the Xiliang Army. Originally, Zhuge Liang was young, so he despised it. The sound of fighting between the two sides resounded throughout the world. Zhuge Liang's calmness and Zhang Fei and Yan Yan's bravery gave the army an advantage to a certain extent. After nearly an hour of fighting, Jia Rong ordered the withdrawal. After hearing the number of soldiers lost, his face became a little depressed. The opponent only had some old and weak soldiers. How could they compare with the elite Xiliang Army? I didn't expect that such an army would be eaten by the Xiliang Army. A big loss. "Your Majesty, this is probably Zhuge Villager's plan." Guo Jiadao. "Well, Zhuge villagers should not be underestimated. I don't know what is the best way to pay filial piety?" "My lord, the army attacking Zitong is in progress. We should go to support as soon as possible. Zhuge Liang is just suffering from scabies. After two days of fighting, I'm afraid, We already understand the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, so we only need to send an envoy to retreat with a few words." Guo Jiadao. Jia Rong shook his head slightly. Such a strategy was good, but Jia Rong's intention was to make Zhuge Liang disappear forever, rather than letting him go. Today's battle also allowed Jia Rong to see the terribleness of Zhuge Liang. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the soldiers in Zhuge Liang's hands are not even half as good as the Xiliang Army. With such a team in his hands, the combat effectiveness is so strong. If he is given some room to grow, Liu Bei will not go to heaven. "Zhuge Liang has many schemes and will be a powerful enemy of our army in the future. Unless he is eliminated, Yizhou will not be stable," Jia Rong said. "What does the Holy One mean?" Guo Jia asked. "If we continue to attack Zhuge Liang, no matter how many soldiers and horses we lose, we will still bring Zhuge Liang's head." Jia Rong said firmly. "The emperor's words are like the thunder of nine heavens. The soldiers are attacking at the risk of their lives. Even Zhuge Liang's strategy is outstanding and he has thousands of ravines in his heart. It is difficult to make up for the difference in the quality of the soldiers. Under the attack, they are retreating steadily. Facing such an attack by the Xiliang Army, Zhuge Liang felt a lot of pressure. He even suspected that Jia Rong was not coming to support Yizhou, but specifically to eliminate him. The two sides had equal strength, and Jia Rong did not hesitate to send soldiers Attack the camp with your life. For three consecutive days, the two sides continued to fight, and the blood stains on the ground turned black. "Military advisor, withdraw your troops. If this situation continues, our army will be annihilated sooner or later," Zhang Fei said. Yan Yan on the side also nodded slightly. Yan Yan learned a lot from the Xiliang Army, and also discovered his shortcomings in training soldiers before. As long as he is given a certain amount of time, he can train an excellent soldier. horse. Zhuge Liang shook his head gently: "Jia Rong will not give us a chance to retreat. As long as the army retreats, it will face endless pursuit by the Xiliang Army cavalry. In that case, our army will lose more soldiers." "Gao Shun" , lead your heavy infantry to tear the opponent's camp apart," Jia Rong ordered. "Nuo." Eight hundred heavy infantry appeared in front of the battle formation, and the morale of the entire Xiliang Army was boosted. The heavy infantry, the trapped camp, and the Lone Wolf Army were the flags of the Xiliang Army. As long as they appeared, they would It means victory in the battle, no suspense. "Compared to the previous army, the path forward of the heavy infantry was full of blood. Gao Shun's grasp of the battlefield was very good. Every order seemed to predict the enemy's movements in advance, and a bloody road was opened by him. "Military advisor, the heavy infantry of the Xiliang Army has gone out to fight, and the soldiers in front cannot resist it." Zhang Fei said urgently. "Well, I got it. Order the soldiers to move forward. As long as this wave of offensive is stabilized, the Xiliang army will retreat." Zhuge Liang said calmly. It is in times of adversity that the talents of a general are revealed. The bloody massacre of heavy infantry and the swarming of cavalry completely tore the enemy camp apart, followed by a one-sided massacre. Even if Zhuge Liang had a strategy, it was difficult to stop the retreat of the soldiers. After losing nearly 20,000 soldiers, Zhuge Liang hurriedly led the army to escape from the pursuit of the Xiliang army. "Is it possible that Zhuge Liang in this life is too weak?" Jia Rong murmured to himself. He originally thought that Zhuge Liang could spread the beans and form an army, with various strategies to resist the Xiliang army. Unexpectedly, he retreated in just five days. It is true that Zhuge Liang had a plan, but facing an enemy as strong as a piece of iron, the plan in his mind was useless. Cao's army had flaws because their soldiers did not have the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army. "Your Majesty, Zhuge LiangThe troops are gone. "Guo Jia reminded. "Well, I already know that Zhuge Liang was able to retreat, and everyone's contribution was indispensable. We need to support Zitong without delay. Tomorrow, the three armies will go to Zitong and try to capture Zitong in one battle. "Jia Rong said. "After Zhuge Liang retreated to Bajun, he strengthened the city defense and used the Xiliang army to find the shortcomings of his own soldiers. Comparing the two, he found that not only were his soldiers not of good quality, but even when he issued orders, it was difficult to get them quickly. Implementation, but the Xiliang army was able to complete it quickly. Is this the gap? After putting Zhuge Liang's matter aside, Jia Rong came to Zitong. The three consecutive days of attack had no results but only lost troops and generals, which made Jia Rong feel a little unhappy. "Your Majesty, I heard that Zitong's guard is Zhang Ren. " Zhang Xiu said. "Well, what can we do? " "My lord, I studied under Master Tong, and Zhang Ren and I have the same friendship, and are willing to go to Zitong City to try. If we can agree, open the city gate to welcome our army into the city, it will be fatal for Yizhou. blow. " Zhang Xiu said. "Okay, let's go to the city. The situation is complicated. If we can't do it, forget it. Safety is the most important thing. "Jia Rong said. "No. " Zhang Ren's first reaction when he saw Zhang Xiu was not surprise. Instead, he immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up Zhang Xiu. He even went to search him personally and said coldly: "General Zhang, you are the general of the Xiliang Army. , why did you go to the city late at night? Could it be that you wanted to persuade me to surrender? "General, why is this necessary? You and I have the same friendship. Even if you don't surrender, you won't treat me like this." " Zhang Xiu said. "Huh, it's useless to talk more. After I repel the Xiliang army, I will definitely offer you to the prince and let him do whatever he wants. " Zhang Ren said coldly. Zhang Xiu lowered his head feebly. It seems that Zhang Ren has eaten the weight and is determined not to surrender. "Take him down and guard him carefully. This man is very skilled in martial arts. If he leaves, be careful. 's head. "Zhang Ren said. "Zhang Xiu went to the city and never returned, which made Jia Rong feel a little bad. In this era, the friendship between teachers and sects is still very important. Even if Zhang Ren doesn't plan to surrender, he should release Zhang Xiu. Yes. It was not until three days later that Jia Rong understood something after Zhang Ren brought Zhang Xiu to the city wall. In Long Yan's rage, Jia Rong directly mobilized the strongest attack methods and worked day and night to clear the terrain outside Zitong City. After a while, the cavalry used thunderbolts, chariots, and siege ladders to attack the city. Knowing that the Xiliang army had such powerful weapons, Zhang Ren attached great importance to the city gates and not only stationed a large number of soldiers in the city corresponding to the gates. , the city gate was also blocked by piles of boulders. There were several loud noises, and the city wall collapsed directly. Three groups of soldiers were dispatched at once, and the effect of the city gate collapse was quite impressive. After that, Zhang Ren's expression suddenly dropped. It was obviously a fortified city, but it was so fragile in front of the Xiliang army. It exploded directly. Such a war was unprecedented. The Xiliang army had such weapons. The tightly defended Zitong Pass was captured in Jia Rong's anger. Zhang Ren was defeated not by the soldiers, but by advanced technology. The Xiliang Army used facts again. Tell the princes that without powerful weapons, they can only tremble under the offensive of the Xiliang army. Looking at Zhang Ren who was tied up, Jia Rong smiled and said: "General Zhang, do you know that the power of the Liang army is inviolable?" "Hmph, it is a treacherous minister to take advantage of the emperor's salary and not know how to share his worries." "Zhang Ren snorted coldly. Jia Rong's expression immediately dropped. "Come here, take this man out and behead him in public. "Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, few people have disobeyed Jia Rong face to face, let alone such words. "Your Majesty. " Zhang Xiu said anxiously. Zhang Ren and he had the same friendship. If he offended Jia Rong, the consequences would be serious. Naturally, he didn't want to watch Zhang Ren die innocently. "Drag him down. "Jia Rong glanced at Zhang Xiu and ordered directly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. "Zhang Xiu naturally understood that Jia Rong had betrayed his face and paid his respects repeatedly. Yang Huai Lingbao and others had not yet had time to escape, or in other words they could not escape at all. After the Zitong city gate was breached, Zhang Ren still refused to give up. He organized soldiers to resist the Xiliang army. If they had escaped in time, it might be difficult for Jia Rong to catch them in Yizhou. "What about you? "Jia Rong looked at Yang Huai and Lingbao. "A loyal minister has no regard for the two masters and only wants to die. "Yang Huai Lingbao looked at each other and said in unison. "Because of Zhang Ren's incident, Jia Rongzheng was unhappy. After hearing such words, he ordered directly without thinking: "Pull out." " Two fierce generals from Yizhou were beheaded like this. "nbsp; After Zitong was defeated, Liu Zhang couldn't sit still. The Xiliang army was so powerful that it was difficult for people to resist. Zitong, who numbered tens of thousands, was still unable to resist. Liu Zhang was not thinking about how to resist the Xiliang army at this time, but began to think about his own funeral. He had just inherited the position of King of Hanzhong, and before he had time to enjoy it, he had to face the reality of Yizhou being conquered. The feeling in his heart was terrible. Just imagine. "Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the Xiliang Army."
