The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 402 Divine soldiers descend from heaven
In the dark night, countless figures appeared among the mountains and forests, slowly moving towards the distant camp. When the arrow finally reached their target, Zhang Wei roared.

"Fight in."

He looked excited, as if he had already seen the scene of his impending victory. The powerful cavalry army was no better than this and was defeated in front of him.

Unfortunately, his troops were still insufficient, otherwise he could have defeated the enemy and counterattacked Chang'an.

Yang Bai looked at Zhang Wei charging ahead with disdain on his face. Little Zhang Wei, who had no talent or virtue, was qualified to lead the army? He even dreamed of defeating the Cavalry Army. Who gave him the courage?

He looked back at Yangpingguan behind him and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Wei, who led the troops in the charge, soon discovered that something was wrong after entering the camp. The camp was completely silent, as if there were no enemies.

"Oh no, we've been tricked, retreat quickly."

He immediately realized that something was wrong and that he had been tricked.

"Zhang Wei, where are you going?"

Amid the chaos of the army, Wei Yan had already seen Zhang Wei's figure. He was dressed in silver armor and it was hard to distinguish him.

Wei Yan felt a surge of contempt in his heart. As a general, he was so ostentatious in the midst of the chaos of the army, wearing a bright silver armor, as if he was afraid that others would not know his identity.

Qin Shou was the best general in the world. When he was on the march, he also wore black armor, the same as other generals. If the enemy did not look carefully, they would have no idea of ​​his identity.

Amidst the chaos, Zhang Wei saw Wei Yan in the distance, and countless soldiers around him, charging towards them from all directions. It was like there were countless armies in the darkness.

At this time, the Hanzhong army was already stunned by the situation before them. They had no intention of resisting and fled in droves, not daring to fight back.

Except for Zhang Wei's personal guards, the other soldiers had already started to flee, fearing that they would run too slowly and be killed by the cavalry.

Yang Bai saw it clearly and laughed in his heart. He quickly called on the soldiers around him to start fleeing. He still had more things to do.

"Yang Bai, stop the enemy, stop the enemy." Zhang Wei looked at Wei Yan who was rushing towards him, his expression changed color, and he shouted loudly. Unfortunately, in the chaos of the army, all this was in vain.

Zhang Wei roared loudly in anger, but he felt helpless and could only follow reluctantly.

"Chase and seize Yangping Pass."

Wei Yan burst into laughter upon seeing this. All this was within his expectations, but he still felt very comfortable during the fighting. The sound of war drums began behind him, and the cavalry army launched a general attack.

For a while, there were screams on the battlefield. In the chaos, a large number of soldiers knelt on the ground and surrendered, fearing that they would be killed in the chaos.

Zhang Wei had no time to care about all these. He had already fled towards Yangping Pass. Fearing that his horse was not running fast enough, he kept whipping the horse. His armor was crooked and his face was full of fear.

He didn't understand how the enemy knew about his sneak attack. Did someone leak the news, or did the enemy already predict it?

Now he had no time to guess the reason behind it and could only rush towards Yangping Pass desperately.

When they arrived at Yangping Pass, they found it was pitch black, no one was there, and the gate was tightly closed. They immediately felt something was wrong. "Where is Yang He? Why don't you open the gate for me?" Zhang Wei roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the top of the city wall. Countless troops appeared on the top of the city wall, and a large flag with the word "Zhang" was thrown down.

"Zhang Wei, I have already taken Yangping Pass for a long time. If you don't dismount and surrender, I will kill you immediately."

A general stood up and shouted loudly.

"Who are you? Where is Yang?"

Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically when he saw this.

"Zhang Wei, this is General Xu Rong of Lantian." Yang Ren pointed at Zhang Wei and angrily said, "Zhang Wei, you don't know the time and try to go against the court. This is treason and you will be killed along with your entire clan. We are the officials of the Han Dynasty. How can we be in collusion with you? Therefore, we have surrendered Yangping Pass and submitted to the court."

Zhang Wei was furious when he heard this. He raised his spear, pointed it at Yang Ren, and shouted angrily, "Yang Ren, you dare to betray the lord. Aren't you afraid that your people will be killed?"

"Humph, you fool, do you think Master wants to resist the imperial army? He has long intended to submit to the imperial court, but he only let you lead the army to Yangping Pass because of you." Yang Ren said disdainfully: "He just used it to fulfill the brotherhood."

Zhang Wei turned pale after hearing this.

"Zhang Wei, why don't you dismount and surrender? When will you surrender?"

A roar was heard, and Yang Bai also led his troops to attack, surrounding his troops in the middle, staring at them with murderous intent.

"Yang Bai, you!"

Zhang Wei didn't expect Yang Bai to surrender. Thinking of the strategy they had given him, he knew he had been fooled. These two guys had long wanted to surrender Yangping Pass, and he was the only one who acted like a fool. He thought they were his trusted generals, but he didn't expect them to be liars.

"My family, Yang, has long surrendered to the Prime Minister, Zhang Wei. If the Prime Minister had not remembered your contribution in pacifying the people in Hanzhong, he would have killed you long ago. How could you have spared your life? The Prime Minister's grace is immense. If you don't surrender now, when will you surrender? Do you want to kill the entire Zhang family?" Yang Bai's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he roared loudly.

Zhang Wei's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he looked at the other party with angry eyes, but then he thought of something and looked at the guards around him. Everyone had fear on their faces, so they dared not resist, and immediately threw their spears aside and jumped off the horse obediently.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind him also put down their weapons. Even their commander had surrendered, so what else could they resist?

A moment later, Wei Yan and Xun You led a large army and entered Yangping Pass. Xu Rong, Yang Ren and others welcomed them in.

"Everyone, speed is of the essence in war. We have now captured Yangping Pass. I think Nanzheng has not received the news yet. The road from Yangping Pass to Nanzheng is smooth. General Xu Rong, lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet up with the surrendered soldiers and garrison Yangping Pass. The rest of the soldiers and horses, immediately charge towards Nanzheng." In the hall, Wei Yan had no time to rest and immediately gave the order.

Although Zhang Lu might surrender, anything is possible. The only thing everyone can do is to rush to Nanzheng as soon as possible and trap Zhang Lu in Nanzheng, preventing him from escaping.

After hearing this, all the generals responded loudly and did not dare to delay. They ordered their troops and headed towards Nanzheng.

Because of the help of Yang Ren and others, the army marched very smoothly. On the morning of the third day, they appeared outside the city of Nanzheng as expected. The people in the city were shocked and panic-stricken. The army arrived so suddenly that they didn't even have a chance to escape.
