Zhang Xiu attacked Luocheng for half a month in a row.

On that afternoon, the sun was about to set. Zhang Xiu's army yelled gold and retreated. Hu Zhen's army, who was responsible for the last round of attack, pulled the siege equipment and retreated like a tide.

The battlefield after the army retreated was terrible. There were corpses, weapons, and blood everywhere.

The vultures that had been hovering in the sky for a long time could not help but scream with excitement. Afterwards, Zhang Xiu sent people to the city to collect the bodies.

Zhang Ren's guards on the city did not shoot arrows when they saw this.

This is tacit understanding. If these corpses are allowed to rot, a large-scale plague may be formed.

Moreover, Zhang Renjun on the city had no strength to room. After the war, some soldiers immediately entered sleep mode, and fell asleep on their corpses with their heads resting on their robes.

Some soldiers were panting and didn't want to move a single finger.

Like Zhang Xiujun, Zhang Renjun, who was guarding the city, also had a rotation system. After the war, Zhang Ren asked the soldiers who had been resting for several rounds to come up to the city wall, clean up the bodies, treat the wounded, and woke the sleeping soldiers and let them go down for dinner.

Zhang Ren has been doing this for half a month, and his arrangements are in order. But today Zhang Ren is particularly tired.

"I'm so powerful. It's already the limit to be able to hold it for half a month. I don't have the confidence to guard it for one more day. This city will inevitably be broken tomorrow."

Zhang Ren had already felt a desire to retreat, but the surface was not exposed. After patrolling the city walls and encouraging the soldiers, he returned to the mansion in the city and summoned the generals in the hall.

Zhang Ren sat in the main seat with a golden sword and looked around the generals on both sides. The battle to defend the city was very difficult, and even the generals were in danger of death. Now there are three generals here.

"Everyone, we have reached the limit. Tonight, we will lead the elite troops south and burn all the food that we cannot take away from the city. We cannot leave a grain of food for Zhang Xiu."

Zhang Ren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, the generals were all happy. They had long wanted to do this. God knows how hard it is to guard the past half month.

With Zhang Ren's order, the generals began to act. In the middle of the night, Zhang Ren reluctantly abandoned the seriously injured soldiers, led the intact and slightly injured soldiers. Without affecting the civilians in the city, he burned the food and led the elite soldiers to walk through the southern city gate, abandon Luocheng, and walk on Huaniu Road to Chengdu.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

Zhang Xiu was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by someone pushing him to death. But this time it was not Dian Wei, but Ba Nu.

"June and General Dian have been waiting outside for a long time." Ba Nu was weak and pushed Zhang Xiu for a long time before he woke him up. He said in a delicate manner.

After Zhang Xiu calmed down, he said outside the account: "But something happened in the city?"

"Report to the Lord and Marquis. The fire broke out in the city, and Zhang Ren seemed to have led his troops away." Dian Wei replied outside the tent.

The weather is a bit cold now, and it is still late at night. Zhang Xiu rolled the quilt and hugged Banu Xiangxiang's body and lay comfortably. He said to Dian Wei: "Don't care. Please keep the generals from moving, so as not to fall into the trap."

There are many things like this about enemy generals abandoning the city, but Zhang Xiu never entered the city that night.

Besides, Zhang Ren either ran to Chengdu or was captured by Xu Shusheng on the way. This will bring three results.

If Liu Yan had not had Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu probably wouldn't dare to defend Chengdu, but instead abandoned the city and left, or opened the city to surrender.

If Zhang Ren successfully returns to Chengdu, then Chengdu still has a tough battle to fight.

This guy Zhang Ren is so powerful and so important.

After Zhang Xiu gave this order, he fell asleep on Ba Nu's chest in a daze. Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and left.

That night, Zhang Xiu's army stopped moving.

The next morning, some officials in Luocheng City opened the city gate themselves to welcome Zhang Xiu's army into the city.

Like in Langzhong City, Zhang Xiu asked Xun You to release the People's Aid List to temporarily manage the civil affairs. The remaining troops remained silent and waited for news while cultivating.

.............

Zhang Ren abandoned the city from the south gate and walked on Huaniu Road. He only brought a small amount of supplies, food and grass, and advanced to Chengdu at an extremely fast speed.

Huaniu Road is flat and the distance is short. What path should I take if I don’t take this road?

This place is also considered to be within the country. Zhang Ren was a little careless and did not send spies to inquire about the movement. He was just a big army busy on his way.

On the morning of that day, Zhang Ren led a large army to a clearing ground near Qingzhu Mountain for a temporary rest.

Under the name "Zhang" Jing, Zhang Ren handed the big gun to a personal soldier beside him, and then turned over and dismounted. His personal soldiers brought Hu bench to ask Zhang Ren to sit down, and his personal soldiers also brought water bags to Zhang Ren.

The water bag was hidden in the clothes of the personal soldiers, and it was a little warm. Zhang Ren raised his head and drank it, and glanced at the soldiers around him.

Luocheng fought for half a month and fled to Chengdu. The morale of the soldiers was not high, and some new recruits took the opportunity to run away at night.

When they left Luocheng, they had about 17,800 troops left, but now there were only about 12,300 left.

Despite this, Zhang Ren was still full of confidence. He said to the generals on both sides: "There are still 30,000 people in Chengdu, and there are a lot of grains. If you can defend us, we will defend us. If you can't defend us, we will protect our lord to Nanzhong. There are many dampness and miasma. If we go to Nanzhong, some people will get sick, let alone northerners. If we go there, we can recruit troops again. And Zhang Xiu cannot stay in Shuzhong all the time. Once Zhang Xiu leaves, we will make a comeback."

Zhang Ren had already thought about the solution: the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance.

Zhang Xiu is determined to be in the world, how could he stay in Bashu, a peaceful corner? He can't deal with Zhang Xiu, but he is very confident in the generals under Zhang Xiu's command.

At worst, you can stay in a remote mountain for a few years and then fight out.

"General Zhang is right. Others obey Zhang Xiu, but we are not. At worst, we can go to the south and live with the Southern Barbarians for a few years."

"That's right. After another ten years, Bashu will still be the lord's Bashu."

Although the general who retreated with Zhang Ren could not fight, he was quite loyal to Liu Yan. While they agreed, they cheered each other up.

Zhang Ren did not stay here for a long time. After resting for half an hour, he held a big gun, turned over and continued to go to Chengdu.

.............

Inside the valley.

Although Xu Shu held his troops unmoved, he also asked the soldiers to pretend to be villagers and seek out the news. When Zhang Ren walked nearby to rest, Xu Shu immediately learned about it.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

Xu Shu sat in the main seat with his sword, Gongsun Kang and Meng Da were separated by their side. Gongsun Kang said with admiration: "This person named Sima Yi is really a god-like prediction. Zhang Ren was indeed walking from Huaniu Road."

"It's not like a god. He just understands the terrain here. But there is a saying that you know your enemy and your own will be defeated in a hundred battles. Sima Yi went south to Bashu to persuade Liu Yan to surrender, so he had the idea of ​​planning. After understanding the terrain, he became [predicted as a god] at a critical moment."

Xu Shu shook his head and denied that he was like a god, but he admired Sima Yi's ability to act and plan ahead.

"Let's talk about this guy for now." Xu Shu let out a breath, stood up with his sword, and the iron piece of armor on his body made a ding-tone sound. He said, "Most of our army are infantry, with only about 800 cavalrymen. I will be the cavalrymen, and I will be prepared to capture Zhang Ren alive. You two will general the infantry, first let Zhang Ren's vanguard go over, and then cut them off in the waist. Prepare the fishing net, we must capture Zhang Ren alive."

At the end of the day, Xu Shu's eyes were dazzling and his momentum was soaring.

Although Zhang Xiu gave him the title of General [Military Advisor General], he learned a lot of skills between Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei, and was even more brave and fierce in his early years. Although he was familiar with military books and began to gradually change, his attributes were still attributes of fierce generals.

"No." Gongsun Kang and Meng Da responded to the promise and stood up. Soon after, Xu Shu issued an order, personally placing 800 cavalrymen to capture Zhang Ren alive. Gongsun Kang and Meng Da led the infantry first and left the valley.

................

On the road, Zhang Ren was not wary of any warning, but just urged his soldiers to speed up. Now he is no longer worried about pursuing soldiers, but if he returns to Chengdu early, he can prepare early.

Although the Huaniu Road is smooth, it is also a road. Zhang Ren's 12,300 soldiers lined up in a long line, passed through the entrance of the valley and headed south.

Gongsun Kang and Mengda hid in the valley together, while another officer stood on the mountain and watched the situation.

"Kill!!!" The officer on the mountain saw that Zhang Ren's troops had passed halfway, so he ordered more than ten majestic soldiers to roar and kill.

"Kill!!!" Gongsun Kang and the two generals Meng Da immediately roared and killed each other.

They had been raising their energy here for many days, and the soldiers were as imposing as tigers descending the mountain. On the contrary, Zhang Renjun retreated in a hurry and suddenly encountered an attack.

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh!!!" A round of arrows shot out from the front, and the soldiers in the middle of Zhang Renjun screamed and fell down. Then Gongsun Kang and Meng Da took the lead and led the elite spearmen in the army to fight forward, easily cutting Zhang Ren's army into two pieces in half.

On Huaniu Road there is a mountain to the west and farmland to the east. In a panic, Zhang Renjun soldiers fled to the direction of the farmland.

Suddenly, Zhang Ren was not prepared for any defense. The soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and the army immediately became in chaos.

Zhang Ren walked in front with a big gun, suddenly heard the roar and killing sound from behind, and saw Xu Shu's army with a strong momentum, and was stunned.

"How come there is an ambush here? This is the hinterland of Chengdu. And how could Zhang Xiu know that I will definitely walk on Huaniu Road?"

After Zhang Ren was stunned for a moment, he made a decision.

Their army was exhausted, and the enemy soldiers in the valley continued to come out. Half of this team was absolutely over and could not be saved.

"Give up the back, the front troops speed up and flee to Chengdu with me." Despite the bleeding in his heart, Zhang Ren still gave the order decisively.

"If you are not afraid of death, follow me to break the rear." Zhang Ren was not the first to escape, but instead flapped his big gun in his hand, turned his horse's head and broke the rear personally. His personal soldiers looked at each other, and most of them chose to keep up.

The general himself cut off the rear, which made the soldiers feel energetic in panic. The soldiers in the rear were no longer saved, and the soldiers in the front ran forward and fled.

Zhang Ren went backwards against the current and soon came into contact with Meng Da's army.

"Junior, take me a shot." Zhang Ren saw that Meng Da was very young and saw the "Meng" flag, and then he knew who it was. He was very happy and thought to himself: "As long as you kill this person, you may be able to turn defeat into victory."

"Zhang Ren, see I captured you alive." Meng Da knew a little about Zhang Ren's appearance. Seeing that this man was majestic but short, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He also fired his gun and fought with Zhang Ren.

He was raised in the mansion by Zhang Xiu in his early years and used his marksmanship. Later, Zhang Xiu personally gave instructions, and Dian Wei played with him from time to time. Although he was young, his marksmanship was not weak.

Zhang Ren used all his strength and fought with Meng Da for more than ten rounds, but did not kill Meng Da. Zhang Ren was shocked.

"There are so many military generals under Zhang Xiu's command. This nameless young general is so powerful!!!"

Meng Da had no actual record before this, and in Zhang Ren's opinion, he was just an unknown person.

Zhang Ren was unable to kill Meng Da quickly. His personal soldiers were running all the way, and they were at the end of their strength and were defeated by Meng Da's personal soldiers.

At this moment, Xu Shu led 800 cavalry to attack. He laughed loudly, and his voice was loud enough to hear it.

"Zhang Ren, do you still remember General Xu Shu of the Military Advisor? That night you attacked my camp and saw me take revenge today." Xu Shu rode his horse forward without any moral character, and he worked with Meng Da in his hand. The two of them quickly fought Zhang Ren.

These two men, Xu Shu, had fought with Zhang Ren, but they were not sure about the outcome. With one, Meng Da. Zhang Ren did not have Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu's ability was hard to beat four hands. After a few moves in a hurry, he was almost stabbed to death by Meng Da.

"Wow!!!"

The cavalrymen who had been preparing to look at each other took out the fishing nets borrowed from the villagers' homes, like fish, and opened the net and covered Zhang Ren's whole body.

After Zhang Ren was covered, he struggled hard. However, a cavalry rushed upwards and threw Zhang Ren to the ground from his horse. Several other cavalrymen were strong and quickly turned over and dismounted and came forward to help.

The five cavalrymen pressed Zhang Ren under their bodies like stacked arhats. Even though Zhang Ren had a thousand pounds of strength, he could only breathe.

"How did you know I would pass by here?" Zhang Ren faced half his face, half his face close to the ground, and could only move his eyes, look at Xu Shu and Meng Da, and ask questions in his heart.

As Zhang Ren was captured alive, his men and horses quickly collapsed, either kneeling on the ground to surrender, or fleeing in scattered. Xu Shu asked Meng Da and Gongsun Kang to take charge of the overall situation, and came to Zhang Ren and squatted down, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, do you know Zhang Lianghu?"

"The Emperor Gao said: In the planning of the tent, I won a thousand miles away, and I am not as good as a zifang."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu bowed to the north and said with a smile: "I have many good and peaceful talents in my Grand Sima's tent, and I am just a little casual."

Zhang Ren was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Working with military strategy, I am indeed weak and mentally retarded."
