Chapter 119 First Battle of Going South

Outside Zhuti City, 13,000 soldiers lined up and slowly looked south. Three thousand soldiers were led by two generals. It was Pang De and Zhang Yi.

Xue Bing and Zhuge Liang were in charge of the central army, while Shamoke's three thousand barbarians were on the left wing of the army and followed the army.

The rear formation of the army was handed over to Zhu Tiya's general Ma Zhong and Ma Dexin, who was originally a minor official in Ba. Xue Bing suggested that during the military reform, he would be appreciated by Shangguan and made more contributions, so he recommended him.

Later, when Zhuge Liang secretly dispatched grassroots officials, Ma Zhong was transferred to southern Sichuan to serve as a side general. Later, Zhang He took office, and Ma Zhong served as Zhang He's deputy to assist him in guarding Zhu Ti.

Until this spring, Meng Huo succeeded to the King of Barbarians and rebelled with 100,000 barbarian soldiers. Then he sent a large army to attack Zhuti, but Zhang He took the opportunity to attack Yueshi County, and Zhuti was handed over to Ma Zhong to guard it.

Later, Yu Jin led a large army to arrive, and then personally led five thousand soldiers to rescue Zhang He, but the ten thousand army was also handed over to Ma Zhong, and he ordered him to wait for the military advisor to arrive here.

Until these days, Zhuge Liang and Xue Bing arrived together, and Ma Zhong handed over the troops to Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang saw that this man was very good at governing Zhu Ti when Zhang He was leading the troops outside, he called Zhong to the front of him and asked several questions in a row, and Ma Zhong answered them all in a smooth manner.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and said to Xue Bing beside him, "He is not as talented as Huang Gongheng." He asked Ma Zhong to follow the army, thinking that he would be in harmony.

At this time, the Yuezhi County Army also arrived, and Yu Jin's five thousand reinforcements rushed into the city. Yuezhi County obtained these five thousand elite troops, and Zhang and He received Yu Jin's help. The city was no longer as critical as before.

But Meng Huotun had heavy troops outside Yuezhi County for several days, but he did not dare to move troops. Until this day, after careful investigation, he hurried to report it.

Meng Huo sat high in the tent and asked to the spy in front of him: "How many reinforcements from the Han army? Can you tell who is the leader?"

The spy replied: "The Han army had about 10,000 troops and horses, and in addition to the troops and horses in Sichuan, there were also some clan soldiers."

When Meng Huo heard that there were soldiers in his clan, he was shocked and asked, "Can you know which tribe it is?" He thought in secretly, "Is it because of the cave master who always opposes me who secretly ran to surrender to the Han army?" Then he thought, but he felt that it was not the case.

"The elite troops in the southern center are all in my hands. Where did the many soldiers and horses come from to join the Han army? I think they are from elsewhere!"

There are many alien races in the Sichuan, and even within Xichuan, there are many tribes of all sizes. So Meng Huo didn't care too much, just thought that the King of Hanzhong was not enough. He urgently recruited some tribal soldiers to use them.

Then he threw the matter aside and asked the detailed thought: "Who is the leader? Have you ever found it clearly?"

Na Xiao said, "Looking at the banner, it is the military advisor of the King of Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang led the troops."

When Meng Huo heard this, he laughed and said, "I actually asked a scholar to lead the army. I think there is no general under the King of Hanzhong." After saying that, he laughed loudly, as if he didn't take Zhuge Liang seriously at all.

At this time, the delicate work said again: "Big King. The young man saw another banner."

Meng Huo laughed and scolded: "Where do you get so many banners? What is it written on it this time?"

The careful writing said, "Right General Xue. I just don't know who is the one who represents this banner?" Meng Huo didn't care when he heard this.

At this moment, the surrendered general Gao Ding came in, and he heard the words "Right General Xue" written on the banner. His feet softened. He almost fell to the ground.

When Meng Huo saw Gao Ding coming in, he didn't notice his strangeness. He just smiled and said, "Do you know who the Right General Xue is?"

Gao Ding replied with a cold sweat on his face: "Right General Xue. He is one of the five generals under the tent of the King of Hanzhong, and the Right General Xue Bing and Xue Zihan." After saying that, he hurriedly asked: "Is this the person who led the army?"

Meng Huo said: "No, I heard that he was the military advisor of the King of Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang."

He heard a plop, and Gao Ding said, "It's over, it's over, I'm over!"

Meng Huo saw Gao Ding like this. He looked contemptuous and said to himself, "I'm so scared like this. It's such a waste!" So he called over and asked someone to drag Gao Ding out of the tent.

After Gao Ding was dragged out, Meng Huo walked around the big tent and said to Jinhuan Sanjie: "I will give you 30,000 troops and horses to stop the reinforcements of the Han army.

The Han army had only more than 10,000, and I think these troops were enough!" Jinhuan Sanjie hurriedly responded, and then went out of the big tent. Ordered troops and prepared horses. I hoped that Zhuge Liang's army would come to kill...

But Zhang Yi and Pang De rode their horses in front of the army, and three thousand soldiers followed closely behind. After several days of traveling.

Having never met a barbarian soldier, Zhang Yi said: "Now General Pang and I are the vanguard, we must let the military advisor know your and my strength, otherwise when we rescue Zhang He and Yu Jin, the two generals, are afraid that the vanguard position will be given to others."

Pang De said: "General Zhang said that now the enemy army is stationed outside Yuezhi County. Why not divide your troops into two groups and move forward for a while and attack them in succession?"

Zhang Yi said: "It's great! Why not just divide the troops into two teams tonight and take advantage of the night to protect you and go on a hurry."

Pang De replied: "Good!"

The two then set up camp on the spot, buried their pots and cooked rice, and rested for a while. They waited until night before moving forward.

The central army was several miles away from the vanguard. When the soldiers reported to Zhuge Liang and the front army had stopped Anzhai, Zhuge Liang looked at the sky immediately. Seeing that it was still early, he said to Xue Bing: "These two people are planning to go on a hurry at night and attack the barbarians."

Xue Bing said: "I think this must be the case."

Zhuge Liang said: "But Meng Huo's army was more than 100,000 barbarian soldiers, who had been killed by General Yu Jin for a while before. At this time, he must have known that our army had arrived. He had many soldiers and horses, so he would definitely divide his troops and reject us.

Zhang Boqi and Pang Lingming were eager to make contributions and wanted to attack him unprepared. I was afraid that his sneak attack would not happen, but instead was ambushed by the barbarians. I wanted to send a general to secretly follow the two generals. If the two were in danger, they would lead the troops out to help them defeat the barbarians. "

Xue Bing said: "What the military advisor said is very good, so Ma Dexin can lead his troops and horses to follow him."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Why didn't Zihan go?"

Xue Bing said: "I am still waiting for the military advisor to send great achievements to you. How can I fight for such minor achievements?"

Zhuge Liang said, "Zi Han is becoming more and more smart!" He said with a smile, and immediately said seriously: "The barbarian king Meng Huo divided his troops to reject our army, and he was sure that he was unprepared. Zi Han could lead a soldier around here and kill him from the side of Yuezhi County, which would definitely be the case for Meng Huochuo.

In addition, Zhang He and Yu Jin led his troops out. I think he could defeat the barbarians." Xue Bing nodded and responded.

The two discussed for a while, but the central army had already set up the village. Zhuge Liang hurriedly called Ma Zhong to come and explained it to facilitate rest in the tent.

At that time, Xue Bing had already led two thousand troops out of the tent, turned west, and then turned south to attack from the side of Yuezhi County. However, the southern mountain road was dangerously crisscrossed. Xue Bing had a very difficult journey.

After leaving the army for several days, I was still moving towards the West with difficulty, and I don’t know when I could turn south.

Let’s talk about Zhang Yi and Pang De. They went down to the camp early that day and ordered the soldiers to have a meal and rest. Then they got up at night, divided into two teams, hoping that the barbarians would go to kill. Zhang Yi led a thousand five soldiers and horses to march in the night, and suddenly saw the crowds of people around him.

The torch Qi Ming was shocked and hurriedly restrained his troops and prepared for battle.

At this moment, a barbarian general was walking in the crowd opposite. He was armed with beasts, armed with a big knife, rode a yellow horse, and laughed at Zhang Yi, "I have already asked someone to find out whereabouts of you and others."

Now that he is besieged by our army, will the little kid be surrendered early?" He saw that Zhang Yi looked only in his twenties, so he called his little kid.

Zhang Yi was furious and scolded: "How can you resist the power of the great Han Dynasty with barbarians? It would be better to follow me to apologize to the King of Hanzhong early to save your life." After saying that, he hurriedly said to the left and right: "Prepare to meet the enemy, follow me to attack the enemy chief."

The three Jinhuans immediately heard Zhang Yi's words. He was angry and shouted: "All the warriors, kill this person with me! Anyone who can take the head of the enemy general will have a heavy reward!" When the barbarians on both sides screamed, waved their weapons and killed them.

Seeing that the barbarian soldiers were naked and had no armor to protect themselves, Zhang Yi said to the left and right: "Get the bow and arrow first!" The left and right archers shot for a while, and shot countless barbarian soldiers. However, there were many barbarian soldiers.

For a moment, after only a few rounds of shooting, he had already rushed to the front. Zhang Yi waved his sword in his hand and said to the left and right: "All the soldiers are rushing towards me!" The soldiers on both sides shouted and rushed up behind Zhang Yi.

After the military reform, the troops and horses under the Hanzhong King's tent were classified very well, but in order to cope with various situations, even crossbowmen must have certain melee ability. Therefore, in addition to being equipped with basic bows and arrows, each crossbowmen is equipped with a simple knife.

At this time, the archers put away their longbows, drew their swords in their hands, and rushed up with the army.

These more than a thousand soldiers were killed with the barbarians in the blink of an eye. There were many barbarian soldiers, but the Han army had stronger combat power, and no one could do anything to each other for a while. Zhang Yixiang rushed forward, but was dragged in the original place by many barbarians.

However, the three knots of Jinhuan wanted to encircle and kill Zhang Yi, but because the Han army had too strong combat power, they could not succeed.

At this moment, only a sound of shouting and killing sounded in the east. Jinhuan Sanjie hurriedly asked his side and left and right, "What's going on?" At this time, soldiers had already come to report the news and replied, "A Han army came to the east, and a general was the first, with a silver helmet and silver armor, and a big knife. No one could defeat him wherever he passed.

Now that the troops are being led, they are almost coming."

As he was talking, the three knots of Golden Ring had already seen the general.

But when a silver-armored general waving his sword as if he had entered a state of no one, there was no one in the world wherever he passed. When he killed someone, he was as if he had cut melons and vegetables. He was shocked and said to himself: "There are such brave men in the Han army?"

It turned out that this silver-armored general was Pang De. Since Pang De divided his troops with Zhang Yi, he led his troops to look east slightly so that he could go around the flank and then attack him.

But when I was halfway through the way, I suddenly saw a fire from the west soaring into the sky, and there was another shout of killing. I knew that Zhang Yi must have been ambushed and hurriedly led his troops to rescue him.

Pang De led his troops to fight for a while. Although his troops were extremely powerful, the number of barbarian soldiers was too large and he could not kill Zhang Yi for a while. The battle situation continued to stalemate at this time.

The three golden rings of the three knots were a little shocked when they saw Pang De's bravery. However, after a while, the barbarians came to their senses. A large number of barbarian soldiers rushed towards Pang De's troops, causing Pang De's advancement to slow down. After a while, Pang De was surrounded by the army.

Seeing this scene, the three knots of Jinhuan thought to themselves: "The big thing is settled!"
