Chapter 118 Going south

Zhang He has not slept soundly these days and he suddenly wakes up almost every night.

Then he called the left and right and asked, "Did the barbarian army attack the city?" He could only lie down again when the left and right personal soldiers answered, "The barbarian army did not attack the city", and then closed his eyes. In this way, in just a few days, Zhang He looked much haggard.

What worried him the most was that there were no more soldiers in the city. Zhang He fought with the barbarians in succession with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then defended two places. Now there are only less than 4,000 soldiers and horses left, some of which are wounded.

Moreover, the defensive battles for several consecutive days have exhausted these soldiers, and Zhang He doesn't know how long these soldiers can last.

To be honest, it was far beyond his expectations to be able to hold on for so long. Although he had not been long before he joined the Hanzhong King, he still had a rough understanding of the hierarchical system of Liu Bei's army. After all, he needed to lead the troops and guard the side.

Most of the soldiers he led are listed as the Second Line Guard Corps, and there are only 3,000 people inside that belong to the main combat corps.

And such a unit with some main forces, with the second-line corps as its main combat power, had been stalemate with Meng Huo's 100,000 barbarians and tens of thousands of rebels for so long. It can be seen that the soldiers under the tent of the Hanzhong King are so strong.

However, Zhang He doesn't have much time to sigh at the soldiers' combat power. He is now anxiously waiting for the reply from Chengdu. The military newspaper has been presented for a long time.

However, the king of Hanzhong mobilized troops and stationed heavy troops in northern Sichuan, and everyone in the world knew about it. He was afraid that it would not be possible to recruit enough troops to go south to suppress the rebellion in a short period of time.

Zhang He, who clearly realized this, knew that what he wanted to do now was to hold the barbarian army here and gain enough time for the King of Hanzhong to mobilize the army.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhang He looked at the more than 100,000 barbarian soldiers under the city, saying that he would die here. "Okay. It's not in vain that I died in the frontier for my great man. "The hand holding the sword in my hand tightened again.

Just at this moment, Zhang He suddenly saw the formation of the barbarian army outside the city chaotic, and there seemed to be a shout of killing sound in the north of his camp. The barbarian soldiers also gathered northward.

When Zhang He saw this, he was overjoyed and said to the left and right: "The King of Hanzhong has sent reinforcements! The barbarians are in chaos, and the day they will defeat the enemy will be in today.

The soldiers and I went out of the city, slaughtered the barbarians, and promoted the power of the great man!" After saying that, he personally led two thousand soldiers and horses out of the city.

But after the barbarians, it was Yu Jin who led the army to come. He found out that the Southern Barbarians were rebelling in Jialing, so he wanted to lead the troops south. At that time, there were obstacles on both sides and said, "Although the Southern Barbarians rebelled, the orders of the emperor had not arrived. The general was arbitrarily activating the army, which was a death sentence.

It is better to wait for the order of the superior to pass it down. The general leads his troops south again, and his troops will become famous."

Yu Jin said angrily: "The king secretly ordered the military advisor to arrange the army to be transferred, and then the military advisor entrusted the army to Yu Jin, and ordered the military advisor to lead troops to garrison here. Why? What's more, he once said to the military advisor at that time. "But there is a strange situation, the public can make a decision on his own."

’Now the barbarians in the south have violated the boundaries of our Great Han Dynasty. Not to mention that the military advisor had given instructions, they did not give them any instructions. As generals of the Han Dynasty, how could we watch the barbarians slaughter our Han compatriots and occupy our Great Han territory?” After saying that, he wrote a letter and sent someone to the King of Hanzhong to report the emergency.

He personally led the army southward to Zhuti to save Zhang He.

Halfway through the way, he explored the horse and reported it: "General Zhang He used an ambush to defeat the barbarian vanguard, and then sent light troops to secretly attack Yuezhi County. The Yuezhi County has now been seized. Forced the barbarians to retreat for several miles, and the two armies are in a stalemate." Yu Jin heard the report and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after a few days of travel, the horses came again: "The barbarian king Meng Huo personally led 100,000 barbarian soldiers to besiege Yuezhi County. General Zhang He had few soldiers, so he might not be able to defend for a long time."

Yu Jin was very anxious and hurriedly rushed to move forward. The army arrived at Zhuti, but Yu Jin still had time to rest. Another probe came to report: "The barbarians were very anxious to siege. The soldiers divided the troops and attacked the city day and night.

The county of Yuewu is about to be destroyed!" Yu Jin hurriedly said to his left and right after hearing the news: "Now the situation is dangerous. We should go and rescue him quickly."

He said to the left and right: "More than 100,000 troops besieged Yuezhi, but I think it can no longer be saved. The general urged the army to move quickly. If the city was broken at that time, our army would be in danger."

Yu Jin said, "I only lead five thousand soldiers and horses to come now, and there are ten thousand soldiers here. If the Yuezhi County has not been destroyed, I will save it. If it has been destroyed, it will be taken away, and if it cannot be taken away, it will be returned.

"After speaking, he did not take off his armor and rested, and directly led five thousand soldiers and horses to rush across the county.

After running for several days, Yu Jin sent a detailed tour to explore the situation almost every day. When he got closer to Yuezhi County, he still returned: "The Yuezhi County has not been broken, and the barbarian army is surrounded by the city.

"Yu Jin was overjoyed and said, "I knew General Zhang He would not lose the city. He passed the order of my general, and the whole army attacked and directly attacked the barbarian army." He said left and right: "The army was running for several days, but they were all exhausted. It would be better to take a rest and then charge.

"Yu Jin said: "Our army has few soldiers, and we can only achieve success without preparation. If we go to the camp and rest, the barbarians will notice it and just divide the troops and face it. We will have no way to enter the city.

Now, taking advantage of the situation that he was unprepared and rushed behind him to make his formation chaotic. General Zhang He saw this and would lead his army out. At that time, the two sides attacked each other, which would cause chaos in the barbarians, and then he could take advantage of the situation to enter Yuezhi County. After entering the city, it would not be too late to rest.

"After saying that, he rushed forward and took the barbarians straight behind him.

Most of the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Yu Jin were light infantry, with more than a thousand archers and crossbowmen. Before the soldiers arrived, the arrows arrived first.

A rain of arrows shot the barbarians into chaos, and then Yu Jin took advantage of the situation to lead his troops forward. Five thousand soldiers rushed into the barbarian formation, clashing back and forth, killing the barbarian camp into chaos.

But the barbarian king Meng Huo said that the city was about to break out, and was drinking and having fun in the big tent. He suddenly came to report: "The Han army came to the north of the city, and the momentum was very fierce, so our army could not fight.

"Meng Huo was shocked and ordered hurriedly: "Hurry up, mobilize troops and horses, first destroy this Han army, and then attack the city." However, 100,000 soldiers and horses were not moved.

The barbarians were still mobilizing their troops, but Zhang He in the city had already seen a strange situation and led the troops out of the city.

The two soldiers and horses attacked each other one after another, and defeated the barbarians. For a moment, countless fleeing people even dispersed their own soldiers who came to help.

Although Meng Huo had 100,000 barbarian soldiers under his command, he had only 20,000 soldiers and horses placed outside the four gates. These 20,000 soldiers and horses were immediately panicked, and his combat power was not as good as the elite troops brought by Yu Jin.

If Yu Jin had not been in a hurry for several days, he would have been exhausted at this time, and it would have been possible that the 20,000 barbarians would have been destroyed by these 5,000 soldiers.

Zhang He and Yu Jin each led their troops to kill for a while, and then joined forces to fight back from the city.

The seven thousand soldiers and horses were combined together, and no one could stop them. Although the barbarians came from left and right, they could not stop them. They could only watch the two generals lead the soldiers and horses to kill for a while, and then return to Yuezhi City.

The barbarians were attacked by Yu Jin from behind and their morale was depressed. Seeing this, Meng Huo knew that he could not attack the city today. He then ordered the entire army to gather and retreat five miles to go to the camp.

Now that the Han army reinforcements have arrived, it proves that the King of Hanzhong already knows the situation here. This time, this army is not large in number, and I think it is just a vanguard.

Meng Huo expected that there would be a large group of troops and horses afterwards, so he gathered his troops and did not dare to do so, just focus on besieging the city, and expose his back to the Han army.

The general under Meng Huo, Jin Huan Sanjie, said: "King, the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived now. How should we deal with it?"

Meng Huo said: "What are you afraid of? The Hanzhong King's army is all in northern Sichuan, and I can't get here for a while. I don't think there are many reinforcements. With my 100,000 troops, what are you afraid of? If the Han army doesn't come, I will stop. If I come, I will definitely tell him that he will come and never return.

"After saying that, I sent an order to ask my subordinates to carefully explore the heights of the reinforcements of the Han army and where they came from. Wait until the enemy situation is discovered, and then make plans...

But on the other hand, Xue Bing and Zhuge Liang led two hundred flying feather troops down on a large ship. When they arrived at Jialing, they found that Yu Jin had already led the army to look for Zhuti.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Xue Bing: "With Zhang He guarding, now Yu Jin has to rescue him. I think the county security guard has been given up."

Xue Bing said: "It doesn't matter whether it is safe or not. The main reason is that General Zhang He has bought enough time for the king to give our army enough time to calmly allocate, so that the harm of the Southern Barbarians will be minimized."

Zhuge Liang stood at the bow of the boat, shook the feather fan in his hand a few more times, and said with a smile: "I don't think General Yu Jin will lead the army to rescue General Zhang He. I think most of the troops are still stationed in Zhuti at this time. Zihan and I have to quickly reach Zhuti, take the troops, and then lead the army south.

”

Xue Bing said: "I want to come to Zhuti and get another army after the military advisor arrives, right?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "How can Zihan know that?"

Xue Bing said: "When I first looked at the distribution map of the military officers' drawings, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it. The military officer went straight to Zhuti, never saying that he had gone through other places.

I think the three thousand Wuling barbarians must have received the order from the military advisor and headed straight to Zhu Ti to join the army."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zi Han looked carefully." As he was speaking, Zhang Yi and Pang De had arrived, but after they reached the two, Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at them, and smiled at Xue Bing and said, "Zi Han, who should be the vanguard when my army headed south?"

Xue Bing saw that although Zhuge Liang had a serious face, his eyes were full of narrow-mindedness. He understood and said, "General Yu Jin was familiar with the art of war. General Zhang He was guarding the south in recent years. These two men fought with the barbarians for several formations and were more familiar with the barbarians.

Bing thought that these two people should be the pioneers."

Zhuge Liang said: "I have this intention, and wait until we take over the army and then save Yuezhi County, and then make these two generals the front vanguards."

They sang together in front, but they called the two behind them anxious enough. Not long after Zhang Yichu was promoted to general, he had few military achievements and was young and energetic. This time, I will definitely be able to make great contributions.

Who knew that the military advisor and General Xue wanted to make Zhang He and Yu Jin a van. Then wouldn’t he have to be the queen of He again?

But Pang De, after joining Ma Chao to Liu Bei, has never made any great contributions. He is trying to make some contributions at this time, but he does not expect that he has run so far. According to the military advisor's wishes, it seems that he wants to reuse Zhang He and Yu Jin. He seems to have been forgotten, so why are you not anxious?
