Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208

"Hundred birds facing the phoenix gun is really powerful, but it's a pity you didn't master it!" Zhang Fei easily parried Zhang Ren's stab, and Zhang Fei still had time to sneer, completely ignoring that Zhang Ren on the opposite side was already in a cold sweat.

The Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear is the best skill of Tong Yuan, the world's number one spear master and known as the gun god of a generation.The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, as the name suggests, the phoenix spear is the supreme marksmanship in the world.Tong Yuan studied martial arts all his life and had no interest in official career, so this set of marksmanship was only passed on to his three disciples, namely the first disciple Zhang Xiu, the Northland Spear King, the second disciple Xichuan No.1 general Zhang Ren, and the closed disciple Chang Shan Zhao Zilong.

In terms of talent, Zhao Yun is much better than his two senior brothers.After learning the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun, and the blue is better than the blue, he created his own "Seven Detective Snake Pan Gun".The first battle became famous in the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. When the general Wen Chou chased and killed Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun defeated Wen Chou on his own, shot Ju Yi, protected Gongsun Zan, and helped him turn defeat into victory.Zhang Fei has often competed with Zhao Yun in martial arts over the years, and he is well aware of all the changes in the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear. Facing Zhang Ren is like a person who competes with the Brazilian team all day long. Now he is going to deal with the Olympic team , that is naturally more than enough.

Zhang Fei was able to do a job with ease, but Zhang Ren was sweating profusely.Ever since he learned the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, he hadn't met an opponent for more than [-] years, but today he was attacked by Zhang Fei, and he completely deciphered every move.He didn't know that it was because Zhang Fei was familiar with the Phoenix Spear, and he thought that Zhang Fei's martial arts were far superior to his own, and this surprise was no small matter.In fact, although Zhang Fei is slightly better than him in martial arts, if he is not familiar with the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear, he would not be able to defeat Zhang Ren without using five hundred moves.Now Zhang Ren is being suppressed and beaten, and losing is only a matter of dozens of moves.

"Dang!" A big knife blocked Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, but Gao Xiang stabbed diagonally and blocked Zhang Ren's move. "Captain, let's go!" Gao Xiang gritted his teeth and greeted Zhang Fei with every move like a mad tiger.Zhang Ren looked at the surrounding battle situation. After the Sichuan army was in ambush, and its combat effectiveness was weak, the whole scene was already at a disadvantage, and it began to be gradually surrounded and divided by the Jingzhou army.Zhang Ren knew that if he didn't retreat in time, it would take at most one or two more incense sticks, and his Sichuan army would not be able to withdraw even if it wanted to.

Now that Gao Xiang used his life to create an opportunity for himself, Zhang Ren naturally would not cherish it.After gritting his teeth and withdrawing from the battle circle, Zhang Ren began to assemble the Sichuan Army to prepare for withdrawal.Going north, the boats and rafts have been destroyed and it is difficult to cross the river. Going south is the enemy's ambush circle. Going east to Jingzhou is even more self-inflicted. These three sides are not acceptable.At present, Zhang Ren gathered his troops and evacuated westward along the Minjiang River, planning to go straight through Zhudi County to Qianwei County, and then return to the north bank.

"Hey!" Gao Xiang's martial arts were far inferior to Zhang Fei's. After seven or eight rounds of fighting, Gao Xiang was pulled off his horse with a spear by Zhang Fei, and was immediately tied up tightly by the Jingzhou army who swarmed up.This is because Zhang Fei saw that he was a good man, he was loyal enough to sacrifice himself to save others, so he took a little effort to capture him alive, otherwise Gao Xiang would end up dead on the spot without five moves.In this battle, after Zhang Ren's [-] Sichuan army was ambushed, nearly [-] were annihilated, and another [-] were captured or surrendered. Zhang Ren led about [-] remnants to fight against Qianwei. Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation to attack Berkshire again.

"what!"

There was a sudden scream on the plank road of Yinping Pass, and a dancing figure fell off the plank road. The scream came from the valley, which seemed extremely remote and terrifying, until a muffled "bang" sounded and it ended completely.It ended with this person's life.

The [-] army marching on the plank road, no, there are less than [-] now, and this scene seems to be commonplace.At the beginning, they will stop and say a few words with emotion.But now, they just walked forward silently, at most they sighed.

This is already the seventh day after Zhao Feng set foot on the Yinping Pass plank road. In the first three days, the plank road that everyone walked on was repaired by Lu Dai. There are railings.Zhao Feng walked like a tourist in later generations, and the army marched very easily. For three days, no one was injured or injured.

But the nightmare began on the fourth day. Although Lu Dai had sent people to repair the plank road day and night, after all, there was a shortage of manpower, and the plank road was indeed not short.From the fourth day, Zhao Feng's army had already set foot on the unrepaired original plank road.This plank road, which has been in disrepair for a long time, really has murderous intentions hidden in every step.No one knows whether his next kick will be empty.No one knew whether he would be crushed to death by a stone rolling down the mountain.Just walking in such fear, over the past four days, dozens of people fell off the cliff almost every day.The worst thing was the day before yesterday, when two Danyang soldiers dug out a bird's nest by the side of the road in order to relieve their greed, and took out three birds' eggs to share the food.

Unexpectedly, it was the old nest of the golden eagles. As a result, the actions of the two aroused wild revenge from the golden eagles.More than a dozen golden eagles began to attack the marching army on the plank road from time to time, either pecking or pouncing, many soldiers were pecked to death or fell to death by them.Zhao Feng had no choice but to order to fight back with a bow and arrow.But this kind of golden eagle is huge in size, four meters wide after spreading its wings, and the damage to them by ordinary arrows is almost negligible.In the end Zhao Feng had no choice but to suspend the march, and shot two of the golden eagles to death with a powerful copper box crossbow, so that the rest did not dare to get too close.If so, dozens of soldiers have already died in the hands of these beasts.

"General, why is this Yinpingguan plank road so difficult to walk!" Ma Di sighed, wiping the sweat off his face.

"The road to Shu is difficult, and the plank road to Yinping Pass is even more difficult. How about you, can you persist?" Zhao Feng asked, panting.In front of him, Wang Ping was looking into the distance, trying to find a place to rest tonight.

"It's okay, I have to hold on now if I can't hold it anymore, otherwise I will die!" Ma Su replied hesitantly.He was still thin-skinned and tender, but after walking for seven days, his face was already dark.Although it looked rough, Zhao Feng and others could clearly feel that Ma Su's temperament was much calmer.Looking at the iron-hoofed horse with a full bag of dry food on its back, Ma Di said with a little envy: "This beast is good at walking on mountain roads, better than us, it is really a good horse!"

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders!" Zhao Feng was also a little emotional. This kind of magical horse can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. Although he knew that this kind of horse could walk mountain roads before, he did not expect to be able to walk so smoothly. It's better to sigh.

"General, fortunately there hasn't been any heavy rain in the past few days, otherwise we would have been drowned to death!" But Yang Ren said with some gratitude.In order to lighten the carry-on luggage, Zhao Feng didn't even bring the army's tents this time, and each of them only brought a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat to keep out the sun and rain.If there is a heavy rain, it can only be soaked.

"General, after passing this mountain ahead, there is a large open area for the army to rest!" It was Wang Ping who came back excitedly.Zhao Feng also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but Wang Ping continued: "I saw a lot of blue sheep on the hillside in front, I can hunt some back for the soldiers to eat at night, we are tired of eating dry food these days!"

"It's just right!" Ma Di and Yang Ren were overjoyed when they heard the words, and the former even swallowed.Zhao Feng was about to speak, but at this time there was another scream, and everyone turned their heads in astonishment, only to see that one person and one horse fell down the mountain again, and the screams of people and horses became deeper and farther away , and finally subsided completely with two muffled bangs.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "Write down his name, go back and take care of his family!" Ma Su quickly agreed, and took out a piece of mulberry paper from the backpack on his back. Hundreds of names.

After walking for less than an hour, the army all arrived at the open area Wang Ping had mentioned.This open land is between two high mountains, but there are many blue sheep wandering on the slopes of these two mountains.These beasts seem not to be afraid of people, and they don't panic when they see people coming.With a thought in his mind, Zhao Feng quickly sent someone to catch hundreds of them.In addition to slaughtering some to reward the soldiers on the spot, the rest brought supplementary dry food.The soldiers hadn't tasted meat for seven or eight days, and now they were overjoyed to have a full meal of mutton.

"Zijun, we have been walking for seven days, how long will it take to reach Motianling?" After dinner, Zhao Feng also asked Wang Ping, a geographer.

"General, I have already walked more than half of the distance. I estimate that if it does not rain, it will take at most six or seven days to reach Motianling. After descending Motianling, it will take less than a day to reach Jiangyou. It is summer now. , Jiangyou Mountain City is very foggy, as long as we take advantage of the opening of the city gate in the early morning to make a surprise attack, we may win it in one fell swoop!" Wang Ping said excitedly.

"It's more than half?" Zhao Feng didn't expect that he had already walked more than half of the distance, and Wang Ping told him that it was all thanks to Lu Dai that he had repaired the most difficult section of the plank road at the beginning, otherwise it would have been seven days. The journey will take more than nine days.

It is right to think about it this way. In history, Deng Ai walked for seventeen days, of which almost two days were spent hiding from the rain.Based on this calculation, if he spends another five or six days, he will almost be able to reach Motian Ridge.Jiangyou's guard is Yang Huai. This person is not very smart. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to sneak attack Jiangyou by taking advantage of the fog.Once Jiangyou is captured, they can take Mianyang and Mianzhu while the Sichuan Army is not yet firmly established.In this way, the hinterland of the Sichuan Army was disrupted by himself, and the grain roads to Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass were also cut off by him.When the time comes, He Qi will lead the army to attack head-on, so it will be twice the result with half the effort.

The plan is perfect, but there is still a lot of work to be done before the final success.In history, after Deng Ai took Mianzhu, he directly sent his army to attack Chengdu.But now there is still Luocheng in the middle, where Zhang Ren's general Wu Ban led [-] troops to garrison.Although he later became a general of the Shu Han in history, he was not sure about persuading him to surrender immediately.Moreover, once Zhang Ren is defeated, he may have to retreat to Luocheng, and it may not be so easy to win by then.As for whether Zhang Ren will lose, Zhao Feng is not worried at all.Zhang Fei + Zhuge Liang still can't handle Zhang Ren, so they should stop messing around.

Just as Zhao Feng expected, Zhang Ren was already beaten to the point of being unable to fight. After retreating to Qianwei County, Zhang Ren took a rest and prepared to lead his army back to Berkshire to garrison.
