Chapter 961 Zhang Ren's army is defeated and retreats to Xiling
For Sun Ce and Cao Ren, there is no immortality in this war, especially when facing the Liangzhou Army, which is known as the strongest in the world, it would be strange if there were not many casualties on our side. So it was a matter of how many casualties. Therefore, they were naturally satisfied with their own casualties, and they could end up being wiped out by the entire Liangzhou Army. In this case, it would be a waste of our side to come to Qichun once, right? So the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army were even more fierce under the leadership of their general and lord.
After all, they all knew that even if the Liangzhou army was at the end of their strength, the so-called "a hundred-legged insect that dies without being stiff". Even so, the soldiers of the Liangzhou army can still burst out with more and more power. Even the people know that the return of the light will be, so the "return of the light" of the Liangzhou army will definitely be more powerful than that of ordinary people.
To say more, the Liangzhou Army faced such a fierce and fierce coalition, and they were getting fewer and fewer people. Although the coalition was the same, they could not resist the fact that there were more soldiers than the Liangzhou Army. Therefore, if the coalition army was reduced, if you don’t look carefully, you won’t see too much, because it was not obvious. But the Liangzhou Army is different. After all, they don’t have many people, and now
Even in street fighting, their casualties were increasing, and they were getting closer and closer to the annihilation of the entire army. Compared with the coalition soldiers who were more and more braver in the battle, their morale was getting lower and lower. Let the coalition see that victory was actually coming soon. Zhang Ren also knew that it was time for him to retreat. After all, if it was too late, it would be impossible. He would be captured alive by the enemy. Now he could still deal with them, just relying on the Liangzhou army to die. Otherwise, even three
He is not the opponent of Zhang Liao and the others. And now it's still good. He has already taken the Liangzhou army from the city, so at this time he only faces a general like Zhang Liao. As for Sun Yi of the Jiangdong Army, Cao Zhen and Niu Jin of the Yanzhou Army, they have long been entangled by the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, so Zhang Ren can still think of getting out at this time and want to
Otherwise, he would be entangled by a few people. If he was not captured alive, it would definitely be difficult to escape. In the end, even if he ran away, he would have to be injured. So although Zhang Ren didn't care so much about the soldiers in Liangzhou, he had his own cold blood, but he still remembered the help of the soldiers, otherwise why did Zhang Ren make up his mind.
It is necessary to destroy the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. In fact, there is also the reason for this. The situation has already been gone. After a while, seeing that there were not many Liangzhou soldiers around him. Zhang Ren waved his hand and shouted to retreat. In addition to the Liangzhou soldiers who were cut off, dozens of soldiers around Zhang Ren protected him and evacuated Qichun. For Zhang Ren, having dozens of them around him already represents a lot of problems. It can be said that the Liangzhou army was wiped out at this time.
There is nothing to say about this. There are dozens of people who have saved Zhang Ren's retreat, which is inevitable. After all, Ma Chao can let Zhang Ren go to guard Qichun, so naturally he will let the soldiers protect him to the death. Needless to say, this is more important. However, the soldiers of Liangzhou can support it until now, not only are they very powerful, but they all go to death and fight the lives of the coalition forces.
In the end, although the Liangzhou army was almost completely destroyed, the coalition forces did have many casualties. Of course, compared with the Liangzhou army's total annihilation, they were much better. It was nothing more casualties than if the Liangzhou army did not fight with them. That's it. But that's the case, Sun Ce and Cao Ren were satisfied with their soldiers. After all, it was worth it to be able to use such a price to destroy the Liangzhou army! So even if our side suffered a lot of casualties, it was in their hearts.
I was still very happy, but I just couldn't reveal anything. Seeing Zhang Ren being protected by Liangzhou soldiers and retreating, Zhang Liao was the first to shout. After all, he was fighting with Zhang Ren and Liangzhou soldiers before, but this made more Liangzhou soldiers stop him fearlessly. He shouted: "Hurry up, capture Zhang Ren alive and let him run away!" It can be said that when he shouted, many coalition soldiers heard it. If the Liangzhou soldiers were destroyed, what else would the coalition soldiers have
What a bigger wish, it must be to capture Zhang Ren alive. Although they all knew that this was almost impossible, but if you didn't try it, how could you know it would be impossible? And obviously, they all knew that if Zhang Ren, the enemy general, was caught, even if it was a dead person, he would definitely be rewarded by his lord (general). So the so-called
It is "there must be a brave man under the heavy reward." After hearing what Zhang Liao called, many coalition soldiers rushed to Zhang Ren. Even though they knew that it was almost impossible to capture him, and there would definitely be casualties when they approached him, but there was still a group of people chasing him. This was for his own benefit. There was no way. The soldiers were originally going to put their heads on their belts, and they would die if they died.
If it is possible to catch Zhang Ren, many people have this speculative mind and naturally have to give it a try. When Sun Ce and Cao Ren not far away saw this, they naturally did not stop their soldiers. After all, they all knew that they must pursue them at this time. No matter what the final result was, at least their attitude was very obvious. No matter how poor the enemy did not pursue them, it was not what they should do at this time. Although Zhang Ren and the others are now, they definitely did not say that they would not pursue them.
Instead, we must chase and even destroy the remaining dozens of Liangzhou soldiers. That's good. As a result, the coalition forces have naturally broken through the blockade of the Liangzhou army's final hijacking. After all, the Liangzhou army has now been wiped out. Even if there are more left, there are still many people, so they will definitely not be the opponents of the coalition forces today. And they have so many generals,
There is only one brother Zhang Ren on the Liangzhou Army, but there are too many coalition forces, and there are Sun Ce and Cao Ren, which are more than ten of them. So the Liangzhou Army can be said to have no advantage at all. If there is really something, it means that they know much more about the inside and outside Qichun City than the coalition forces. And of course they are much more familiar with each other. And Zhang Ren has already thought about it.
His retreat was actually a route of escape. So of course this was not comparable to that of the coalition forces. In addition to Sun Ce and Cao Ren, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Yu Fan and Guo Huai, the other generals all brought their troops to chase Zhang Ren. Of course, they all knew that they could not catch them, but they had to eliminate the remaining remnants of Liangzhou Army. This was their idea. After all, Zhang Ren was going back with the remaining Liangzhou Army soldiers, and his brother would go back alone. Naturally,
There is a big difference. Obviously, the coalition members were not going to let Zhang Ren take anyone back. Since the Liangzhou army was wiped out, let them be completely completely. In addition to Zhang Ren, they were going to let all the soldiers of Liangzhou army fail inside and outside Qichun City. Zhang Ren withdrew from Qichun with the remaining soldiers of Liangzhou army, but in fact he just ran away quickly. After all, he knew that if he was
Running slowly, then the final result can be imagined. However, he thought this would not happen. After all, the familiarity between the coalition forces in and outside Qichun City was still impossible to compare with him. Otherwise, he would have to retreat in advance, rather than now. At this time, he decided after Zhang Ren calculated the speed of the coalition forces. And here
Previously, he had already asked someone to burn a fire in the Qichun granary, so at this time, there must be some coalition soldiers putting out the fire.
They are not just as simple as rescuing food and grass. For the coalition forces, even if all the food and grass are burned, it is no big deal. Anyway, they are all left of the Liangzhou army. The main reason is that whether Sun Ce or Cao Ren is afraid that Zhang Ren will burn Qichun City with a fire. If that is the case, it will be a life. Fortunately, it is still good that Zhang Ren is not so crazy, mainly Zhang Ren. Don’t look at what he is doing to the soldiers, especially in the Liangzhou army, he has nothing to do.
It feels like a person, but to the common people, he knows that only by winning the hearts of the people can you do good deeds, so he will never offend the people easily. He naturally knows that if you burn Qichun in a fire, that would be fine and leave a mess for the coalition forces, but the final sin will be great. If the Liangzhou army occupy Qichun again in the future, the people will basically lose their hearts.
This is not to say that he is just thinking about the Liangzhou army. To put it bluntly, he is still for himself. Because the people will not only remember the Liangzhou army at that time. Similarly, whoever sets the fire will definitely hold a grudge against someone in the end. Needless to say, Zhang Ren will not do stupid things there. What, do you say that Zhuge Liang burns Xinye? Yes, Zhuge Liang did that thing in the Romance, but what is Xinye City?
The situation, what is the situation in Qichun, which Zhang Ren guards now? It cannot be compared at all, and Liu Bei is so sloppy. He knows the benefits of bringing the people, so many people in Xinye followed him. Is this what the Liangzhou army can compare? Speaking of which, Ma Chao may not be able to do, it is really that way. So what Ma Chao can't do, let alone Zhang Ren. He not only has no ownership of the Liangzhou army. Similarly, compared with others, Zhang Ren is not considered in the Liangzhou army.
What strength is there? Therefore, can he compare with Ma Chao? Although in Qichun, the soldiers of Liangzhou listened to him, and were eventually wiped out by him. But after all, it was because Zhang Ren was the chief general of Qichun appointed by Ma Chao himself, and he also told his soldiers that they would save Zhang Ren's life in any case, so the soldiers naturally acted as if they were to die.
The soldiers of Liangzhou Army were not giving him the face of Zhang Ren. To put it bluntly, then give their lords and Ma Chao's face. This is the most fundamental thing. Otherwise, who would know who you Zhang Ren is? Yes, you are a general in Shu, and you are indeed not an unknown person, but the Liangzhou Army is really full of talents. Just say that you are more famous and have greater abilities than Zhang Ren. So there are too many people, so...
Zhang Ren fled with the soldiers of Liangzhou. Unfortunately, although they were not caught by the coalition forces, they were still caught up by the slow-running behind. The final result is conceivable. After Zhang Ren fled the Qichun territory with the soldiers of Liangzhou, he found that there were only four people around him, and he himself, which was indeed a big loss, because there were not many people at first, so this was correct. But let's put it this way, there were three people left besides Zhang Ren. In fact, it was considered to be
That's OK, at least he didn't give it to him, not one left. Of course, Zhang Ren brought back three Liangzhou soldiers, which must be more embarrassing than one without him. Why is this so, then there is no need to say more. But even if this is what Zhang Ren didn't want, he really had no choice, or he could only take three Liangzhou soldiers to Zhang Fei, which is Xiling City.
He didn't want to go, but there was no way. After all, Zhang Fei was the chief general of Jiangxia, even if Zhang Ren did not worship Ma Chao, he was one of the people who did things for the Liangzhou army after all, so he could not turn a blind eye to Zhang Fei. The key is that the city he guarded now, Qichun City is under Jiangxia's management. In other words, if there is any problem here, he naturally needs to report to Zhang Fei, no matter if it is true.
It's better to pretend. Anyway, there will definitely be no less things that should be available. Even Zhang Ren is going to go. How can some things be said? Zhang Ren cannot be independent, but he also knows that he is now in the Liangzhou Army. Even if he is independent, it would be fine if he is just a shallow one. After all, with Ma Chao here, no one dares to do anything about him. Moreover, his senior brother Zhang Xiu, his junior brother Zhao Yun, and even his teacher Tong Yuan.
Zi, they all have the number one figure in the Liangzhou Army. But if they do it too much, then there will definitely be someone who will cause trouble for themselves. Zhang Ren is not unclear, after all, he has been a person who has been in the Liangzhou Army for a long time. He can be said to be very clear that there are several people in the Liangzhou Army who are basically not afraid of anything. At least what they are afraid of is definitely not included in themselves.
