Chapter 519 The Decisive Battle at Iris Mountain

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, the big warehouse is full, and the small warehouse is flowing. This day is the day of spring, also known as the Spring Dragon Festival.

This day is also the day of the decisive battle in Hanzhong.

Whether one county in Hanzhong and the land of nine counties is under the control of the Heavenly Master, or whether the remnants of the Mu clan are hiding, all depends on today's battle.

Zhang Liao personally led the main force, turned around suddenly, and rushed for nearly twenty miles, heading straight for the Hanzhong army on Yuanwei Mountain.

It was already noon.

The noon sun shone very hot, and this was the most dazzling sunshine since the cold winter.

Yang Song is a general under Zhang Lu, leading an army of [-], and stationed on Yuanwei Mountain. He suddenly heard that the main force of the Mu army had left and returned. .

The two armies collided, and the war broke out quickly.

"Fire arrows!"

The main force of the Mu army rushed up to Yuanwei Mountain, and it was an instant attack with bows and arrows.

"Shhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Arrows all over the sky were like heavy rain, falling on the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army on Yuanwei Mountain.

"Damn!"

"Shield!"

"Look for cover!"

Yang Song shouted in hysteria. Although Yuanwei Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the terrain of the mountain is wide and it is not easy to cover up. Covered by two or three rounds of bows and arrows, the casualties of the Guanzhong Army are more than three hundred lang, which is enough It made Yang Song go crazy.

It's not that he wasn't prepared.

It's because he didn't prepare enough. In his opinion, Mu Jun escaped like a shit. Even if he counterattacked, it would be just a small group of troops. He didn't expect that the main force would counterattack at any cost.

As a result, there is simply not enough defense in today's confrontation between innovation and promotion.

"Archer!"

"exist!"

"Shoot it back for me, don't hesitate to bow and arrow, shoot it back fiercely, and never let them get close!" Yang Song shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

The archers fought back.

The distance between the two sides was eighty paces, bows and arrows were coming and going like cold rain, the soldiers of the two armies fell one by one, and blood began to flow on the Yuanwei Mountain.

"Yang San, have you sent someone to notify Master Shijun?"

Yang Song calmed down and asked the guard. .

"Report to the general, we have dispatched three scouts to inform Lord Shijun, but Lord Master's main force has been chasing northward yesterday, intending to besiege the Han River from the north to the east, which should be far away from us. It takes at least half a day for a journey of twenty miles, one round trip and one round trip, and without evening, the main force would not be able to rush to Yuanwei Mountain!"

"It's only half a day!"

Hearing this, Yang Song looked up to the sky and sneered, and drank loudly: "It's only half a day, can't I stop it? Now that my military order is passed, the officers and men of all ministries can't defend it. With the help of Yuanwei Mountain, my sons and daughters, Zhenjun Taiyi is here, God! Will take care of us, we must hold on!"

"promise!"

Among the generals, many are disciples of heavenly masters and Taoists. Under the power of faith, the generals brazenly took orders.

"A certain Zhang Liao, you dare to follow me into the charge!"

Zhang Liao, after ten rounds of bows and arrows, had basically exhausted Jingping's army's reserves of bows and arrows in order to fight quickly. He began to fight in person. Handling Fangtian's painting of halberds, his martial arts are basically in the same line as Lu Bu's, and they are open and close.

"charge!"

"charge!"

The Jingping Second Army has two major battalions, one is the Jingping Fifth Battalion and the other is the Shangyong Battalion. The main forces of the two battalions are arrows on the left and right. Following Zhang Liao's figure, they charge up like waves, piercing the iris mountain center.

"Boys, stop!"

Yang Song was stunned. He underestimated the charging power of Jingping's army. Although Jingping's second army had many recruits, the Shangyong battalion was independent, and the fifth battalion was the sharp knife. The army's first line of defense couldn't last for half an hour.

"General, five miles away from the hillside on the left, we found a large group of enemy troops!"

A scout came stained with blood and bowed his head to report.

"what?"

Yang Song was shocked when he heard this, got on his horse, and headed towards the stone slope on the left. Yuanwei Mountain had a cliff on one side and slopes on three sides, and the slope on the left was smooth.

"Yellow Turban Army?" Yang Song's pupils changed color, and a battle flag of the Yellow Heavenly God was reflected in his pupils.

"kill!"

"dash forward!"

Huang Shao personally led the army, the second battalion and the third battalion of the Yellow Turban, two battalions of six thousand soldiers, went up against the wind.

…………

……

Twenty miles away, on a plain.

Tens of thousands of the main force of the Hanzhong Army camped here last night and rested all night. After dawn, Zhang Lu was not in a hurry to get out of the camp. He spread out a marching map, pointed to the marching route, and said: "Now that Yang Ang has arrived at this position, Zhang Lu is not in a hurry to leave the camp. Ying's return to the division is imminent, and Yang Song's troops will start from Yuanwei Mountain and follow closely, as long as we attack from here, he, Mulongtu, will not be able to escape this time!"

"It seems that the situation is indeed very good, but I always feel that there is something wrong!"

Yan Pu stared at the marching map. The Hanzhong army on it had already formed a large encirclement circle for the Mu army. As long as the Mu army ran out of food, the battle would undoubtedly be defeated, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see anything. He came, and he said in a low voice: "Master, the Mu family's soldiers and horses crossed Guanzhong. They once killed the Kwantung Alliance and were almost defeated. Even the brave Xiliang Army was heavily surrounded, and they couldn't keep them. You must not Look down!"

"A certain family naturally knows!"

Zhang Lu nodded. He never denied the fighting power of the Mu Jun, but now he has the advantage, he will not be willing to lose, he wants to regain the victory that belongs to Zhang Lu: "This is a great opportunity. The Mu Jun has cut off the food road. Within a day, I'm afraid they won't be defeated without us fighting. As long as we hold off for three days, we will win a big victory. In any case, since they have entered Nanzheng, I can't let them leave Hanzhong, they must stay The soldiers and horses of the Mu Clan, leave behind the picture of the Mulong Dragon!"

"Why don't you ask the imperial soldiers at Yangping Pass to go south!" Yan Pu suggested.

"This?" Zhang Lu hesitated when he heard this.

To be honest, he made a panicked decision to ask for help, and now he regrets it a bit. If he knew that he could take care of the Mujun, he would not have made such an unnecessary move.

Now the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have gone south to Yangping Pass and opened the gate of Hanzhong. It is already difficult to expel them.

But if the imperial soldiers and horses continue to participate in the battle of Nanzheng, it will be even more difficult to drive them out in the future. Not to mention Yangping Pass, I am afraid that Nanzheng, Xicheng, and the Shangyong generation will be stationed by imperial soldiers and horses.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

What he wants is a Hanzhong who is a master of heaven.

"Lord Tianshi, it is a foregone conclusion that the imperial court soldiers and horses will enter, but he has no foundation in Hanzhong. He can only rely on us, so he can only support us and the way of Tianshi, so as to suppress Liu Shijun in Yizhou, but Liu Shijun is different, he can pull us out at any time and replace us with another person to sit in Hanzhong. Now we let go of the imperial soldiers and horses to enter, and we will offend Liu Shijun no matter what. If we lose or win, I am afraid Liu Shijun will not let us Continue to defend Hanzhong!"

Yan Pu analyzed it, and then continued to advise: "At this time, we must rely on the imperial court!"

Hanzhong seems to be a place that is not dependent on all sides, protected by natural dangers, Qinling Mountains, Yangping Pass, Daba Mountain, Jiange main roads, everywhere are dangerous passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is difficult to shake Zhang Lu even if he kills a sudden, and it is precisely because Mu Jun killed a sudden and successively took down Fangling Shangyong that he has achieved today's general trend.

However, the geographical location of Hanzhong is in a position where all sides are competing. Whether it is the imperial court, Nanyang, or Yizhou, or even Xiliang, they all want Hanzhong as a springboard.

So Yan Pu knew very well that Hanzhong would not be stable without support.

"you're right!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lu thought for a long time, and finally put aside his luck. At this time, if the left and right are not close, that is the way of death. He is not willing to die. Since he has taken refuge in the court, he cannot regret it. He intends to revive the way of heavenly masters , does not conflict with the imperial court, but cannot be eased with Liu Yan.

"You send people to the north and ask Zhang Ji to lead his troops to the south for reinforcements. If there are remnants of his soldiers and horses, the Mu army will surely die!"

Only then did Zhang Lu make up his mind: "No matter what, I will never allow Mu Longtu to escape. Although this man is young, he is as fierce as a jackal. If we let him escape, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback one day!"

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Yan Pu bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.

At this moment, a fast horse and a scout came galloping, and rushed into the barracks with a command flag. After jumping off the horse, they rushed straight in front of Zhang Lu, bowed their heads and shouted: "Master, please hurry up!" Quickly deploy Iris Mountain!"

"Iris Mountain?"

Zhang Lu's pupils changed color, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"The main force of the Mu army is all on the Yuanwei Mountain. The army on the mountain is besieged and is in danger. My general asks Master Shijun to send troops to rescue quickly, otherwise, the entire army may be wiped out!" said the scout sadly.

"how is this possible?"

Zhang Lu's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it.

The Mu army has run out of food, how can they counterattack with all their strength at this time, even if they eat the Hanzhong army on Yuanwei Mountain, can they still escape? Isn't this the way to go?
"Master Master, this matter is absolutely true!"

The scout shouted, "It's too late, my general, I'm afraid he will die in battle!"

"I understand, you go to rest first!"

Zhang Lu waved his hand and told the scouts to stay down, and then ordered: "Pass my military order, call all the generals to come to discuss the army!"

The sudden change made Zhang Lu panic, but he did not dare to make a decision to change the strategy easily. At this time, the only way to call the generals to discuss it is the best policy.

The generals of the various ministries of the Hanzhong Army quickly assembled.

"Iris Mountain?"

"How could Mu Jun counterattack so fiercely!"

"That is to say, their main force has already given up on the way forward, but turned back instead!"

"This may not be a good thing!"

"Since then, Mu Jun can't escape!"

When the generals heard the news that the herdsmen had attacked Yuanwei Mountain, they were not very panicked, but rather happy.

"My lord, the Mu army's sudden counterattack must have intentions!" Yan Pu was not at all happy, but worried. He leaned forward and said to Zhang Lu, "We need to be careful!"

"Yuwei Mountain has to be taken care of, and Yang Song's eight thousand soldiers must be saved!"

Zhang Lu thought for a long time before deciding: "We need to change our strategy!"

"Changing strategy now?"

"It has to change!"

Zhang Lu said: "The Mu army must have no food, so they are crazy. If we let him gain power, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses. Surround them in advance and interrupt their offensive in order to suppress their defeat. You go and give it to us." Yang Ang and Zhang Ying ordered them to rush to Yuanwei Mountain and attack together!"

"promise!"

"Every department obeys orders, within half an hour, gather immediately and go to Yuanwei Mountain for rescue!"

"Yes!"

The generals of the various ministries quickly took orders and left.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nanzheng City, the southwest suburbs.

"quick!"

"Hurry up!"

"March quickly!"

Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai were in a hurry, and ordered the soldiers to march quickly. Although they crossed the Han River last night, they wanted to enter Nanzheng, and there was a moat. The roads around Nanzheng were not easy to walk, and the emergency march seemed a bit chaotic.

The scouts they sent already knew what was happening on the battlefield in the eastern part of Nanzheng, but they didn't know much about it. The most important thing was to hide their tracks. They went all the way north, excluding all the spies and scouts.

Now Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai didn't know about Mujing's situation at all, but the news that the grain road had been cut off came from the scouts, which made them very anxious.

"I don't think half a month has passed. Now that the battle situation is rotten, since the food is out, the lord must be at a disadvantage on the battlefield. Even if the army is not chaotic, the lord may not last long, otherwise the lord will not take the initiative to withdraw troops!"

Huang Zhong pondered for a while, and said: "I will lead the army to the battlefield quickly, no matter what, I will never let the Lord have any accidents!"

"The Hanzhong army has come out in full force, and we will take Nanzheng Fang as the right way!"

Xi Zhicai disagreed, and he cared more about the overall deployment: "My lord is an extraordinary generation, Zhang Liao, Huang Shao and others are also warriors on the battlefield. Even if they lose their supply, they will not collapse in a short period of time. We act fast, and after taking down Nanzheng, we will definitely make Zhang Lu ignore it!"

"Zhicai, I can't afford to bet!"

Huang Zhong shook his head.

Since he was loyal to Mujing, only Mujing is the most important thing in his heart, this is Huang Zhong's loyalty.

"In this way, let's divide the troops!" Even though Xi Zhicai has full confidence in Mujing, he can't convince the persistent Huang Zhong now. Huang Zhong is the main general. He is just a military adviser. During the march, he still has to listen to Huang Zhong. He suggested Said: "You only need to give me a soldier and horse, and I will cheat to open Nanzheng. Nanzheng is now empty. If I have the name of Yizhou Army, maybe I can break into the city without destroying it!"

"Row!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong thought that this was a way, so he summoned General Yang Feng: "Yang Feng, you lead your soldiers. From now on, obey the military order of the play Sima. The order of the Sima is like me. Commander, kill without mercy!"

Xi Zhicai's position is the Sima of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, who has the power to deploy troops, but not the power to command them. Commanding an army on the battlefield requires the permission of the general.

"promise!"

Yang Feng took the order.

The two split up.

Huang Zhong led the main force of the Baibo army, walked along the bank of the Han River, not approaching Nanzheng City, and went straight to the eastern battlefield from the northeast corner.

And Xi Zhicai led Yang Feng's first battalion to advance northward, aiming at Nanzheng City.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boom boom boom! ! ! ! !

Yuanwei Mountain faced attacks from two sides. In less than an hour, the defensive fortifications were completely destroyed. Eight thousand soldiers of the Hanzhong Army were defeated like a mountain.

General Yang Song of the Hanzhong Army was captured by Zhang Liao himself.

The sun had already set in the west, but there was still some hours before evening, and the Mu army began to clean up the battlefield.

"Clean up the battlefield!"

Zhang Liao ordered.

"Be careful, check the corpses. If our soldiers are still alive, they will quickly move to the wounded barracks. The second battalion will guard the prisoners. Be careful of these prisoners!" Huang Shao also ordered. At this time, we need to be careful of the backlash on the battlefield. is the problem.

After the two arranged matters, they began to discuss the next battle.

Mu Jing fought with the army, but he was always in the back row, and it was not his turn to charge. After the battle subsided, he began to clean up the battlefield, and he stepped onto the battlefield under the protection of the guards.

"You are Yang Song?" Mu Jing looked at the young man in front of him indifferently.

"You don't change your name when you go, Yang Song of Hanzhong!"

Yang Songnai is the elder brother of Yang Baizhi, the eldest son of the Yang family in Hanzhong. The Yang family is from a Taoist family.

He looked at Mujing's eyes with hatred.

"Do you know who I am?" Mu Jing asked.

"Mu's Dragon Picture?"

After looking at it for a while, Yang Song said tentatively.

In such a situation, with such a young man, the kind of respect he looks at the surrounding soldiers is probably only in the legend, the young man Minghou, the remnants of the Mu family, Mu Jing, and Mu Longtu.

"good eyesight!"

The corners of Mujing's mouth were slightly drawn.

"I killed Yang Bai, and the Yang family has already accepted the indissoluble hatred. Should I also kill you, and then slaughter the nine Yang clans? It is rumored that the ancestors of the Yang family came from Qingcheng and established themselves in Hanzhong. It's been a hundred years, so it's a pity!"

Mujing's calm voice was as cold as ice with killing intent, which made Yang Song tremble all over.

The Yang family in Hanzhong is not a noble family, but it is also a big family. Back then, the Yang family was a hero who established the Taoism of the Celestial Master. He followed the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling and was a ranger in the Southwest. It has been a hundred years in Hanzhong, and the children practiced literature and martial arts, confined the fields, and finally formed a clan.

Wu has Yang Bo, and Wen has Yang Song, which could have strengthened the foundation and accumulated the Yang family's foundation, but now, because of the attack of the herding army, the Yang family's children suffered heavy casualties, Yang Bai died in battle, and Yang Song is now also a prisoner.

"Kill it!"

Yang Song is stubborn. Although he has the bad habit of greedy for money, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death: "I, Yang's son, you can't kill me, and I'm a celestial master, and I can't be destroyed. One day, there will be someone To avenge us, besides, whether you Mulongtu can get out of Nanzheng is a question, the main force of Master Shijun will come soon, you have already run out of food, and sooner or later you will be defeated!"

"Really?" Mu Jing smiled: "Then it depends on the result!"

He stood up, ignored Yang Song, and said: "I won't kill you. If I rule Hanzhong, you still have value. Think about it carefully, whether it is the celestial master or the family is important. Your time is running out. If you haven't made up your mind on the day I take Nanzheng, don't blame me for ransacking your family and exterminating your family!"
