The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 604 Unlucky Han Dang
Han Dang had no choice but to ask the herald to send someone down to tell the generals at all levels that they must work harder and let the soldiers speed up. This is not a safe place.

Then, Han Dang wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and his beard was also wet with sweat. His face might have turned red because of anxiety and heat.

Han Dang then asked his captain of the guard what time it was now.

The captain of the guard looked at the sky, and replied respectfully: "General, it's almost time to pass Shen Shi." Shen time, that is, between three o'clock and five o'clock in the afternoon.

Han Dang couldn't help but looked up at the sky, the sun was still hot, how could there be time to pass Shen Shi?
Han Dang couldn't help cursing, this hot weather.In fact, he rode his horse on the road, and it got a little hotter, but it was much better than the half of the soldiers who carried weapons and walked on their feet.

However, under Han Dang's order, Han Dang's army sped up a little bit, and the mountain pass ahead was getting closer and closer.

An hour ago, on the top of the mountain, Zhang Fei was sitting under a tall old mulberry tree.

The leaves of the mulberry tree are originally big and dense, and they grow very tall, like a huge parasol, completely covering a radius of one foot, and the vicious sunlight can hardly penetrate through the layers of leaves.

Zhang Fei sat on a piece of cooked cowhide with his back against the tree trunk, squinting his eyes, enjoying the rare shade in summer.

At this time, a scout captain suddenly rushed forward to report that his subordinates suddenly discovered an enemy army appearing in the direction of Puqi behind the mountain, the number should be around six or seven.

Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard that, what's going on?Could it be that the enemy troops stationed in Puqi will go down when they move out?But this is almost impossible, not to mention, how could there be 6000 people in a small Puqi?
Zhang Fei immediately stood up from the ground, and after wandering around for three times with his hands behind his back, he seemed to have already made up his mind.He asked the scout captain to send someone to investigate the intelligence again, to see who the leader of the other party's army is.

After investigation by the scout team, it was found that the enemy army was fighting Han Dang's flag.Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing, Han Dang's defeat in Yiyang City was not enough, so he went to Xiajun to beg for a fight!
Recently, because the enemy troops in Xiajun City couldn't shrink back, Zhang Fei thought that his strategy of encircling Sanque had failed, and he was feeling distressed!Unexpectedly, this Han Dang sent him to the door in a foolish way.If you don't take advantage of it, you will be struck by lightning.Zhang Fei decided to deal with Han Dang exclusively.

Therefore, Zhang Fei immediately sent an order to all the soldiers ambushing at the foot of the mountain to gather on the top of the mountain, so as not to be discovered by the enemy scouts.

Zhang Fei's preliminary preparation proved to be a wise move afterwards, and it also fully demonstrated his maturity and rich combat experience.

After more than half an hour, Han Dangjun finally entered the mountain.Zhang Fei stood on the top of the mountain, looking at them with a sneer.

After most of Han Dang's troops entered the mountain, Zhang Fei knew that the time to attack had come.

Zhang Fei immediately issued an order to the herald: "Order the whole army to kill me!"

Soon, the sound of the Jiangzhou soldiers charging and killing suddenly appeared from the woods and grass on the mountain, rushing towards Han Dangjun at the foot of the mountain.

Han Dang's war horse was obviously frightened, and suddenly neighed, and immediately threw Han Dang off the horse.

Seeing this, the guards hurried forward to help Han Dang. Fortunately, the veteran was not broken.Two guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse, and it took a little effort to calm the horse down.

However, Han Dang is not the time to care about the pain in his body. Looking at the Jiangzhou army rushing up, he knows that he has been set in an ambush again.It seems that he will never be able to reach Juncheng now.Han Dang thought of retreating at this time.

It can be seen that while Han Dang was annoyed, he reacted relatively quickly. After all, his military career was a round older than the average soldier's age.

Therefore, Han Dang immediately called the herald and asked him to immediately send someone to the deputy general Tai Shixiang to order Tai Shixiang to lead his troops to retreat.

Then, Han Dang ordered again, telling everyone not to panic, everyone gathered together and slowly retreated out of the mountain from the original road.

Han Dang's doing so is of course very reasonable.He saw a fatal weakness of the Jiangzhou army: they rushed down from the top of the mountain, and the hillside was full of trees and weeds. It was impossible for them to use fire attack on themselves!Otherwise, the people of both sides will be buried here at the same time.Therefore, Han Dang is betting that as long as he can withstand the enemy's impact, his army will have a way to retreat!

Half of Han Dang's army came from Quan Cong's subordinates, and most of them came back from the defeat in Yiyang City.These people can be called old fritters, but once they are in a dangerous situation, the essence of the elite among the elite will be revealed.Otherwise, how could they survive so many battles?
Therefore, their qualities are fully revealed at this time.Although there was still chaos in many places, many soldiers, under the command of generals at all levels, gathered densely and formed a long snake formation along the mountain road.Their archers were in the middle, sword players stood at the outermost edge, and ordinary soldiers on the inner layer. They maintained this formation and began to slowly retreat to the original road.

As the Jiangzhou Army approached, under the blocking of the archers, many people in the front of the Jiangzhou Army were immediately shot down.

Zhang Fei obviously saw the situation below clearly from the top of the mountain. Of course, he couldn't easily let Han Dang escape like this.On the one hand, he issued an order to use the sword and poker player as the front to oppress the enemy army, and it can also cover the ordinary soldiers to attack the enemy line. On the other hand, he himself also ordered his own guard to follow him down the mountain to kill the enemy.

Han Dang's army was still retreating. After the Jiangzhou army's sword players appeared, they quickly blocked the bows and arrows of the large army.They led the whole army and were constantly approaching the enemy.

Han Dang's army marched in a hurry this time, and did not bring many items with them. The archers' arrows would soon be used up, and Han Dang was unable to replenish them at this time.

As the archers shot fewer and fewer arrows, the Jiangzhou army finally began to face Han Dang's army.

The Jiangzhou army is now attacking from top to bottom, taking advantage of height and strength.Even if Han Dangjun was really elite, he began to suffer a lot of casualties.

What's more, Han Dangjun had gone through a rapid march before, and his physical strength was very exhausted, and many people were already exhausted.The life of the soldiers on Zhang Fei's side is very easy. They have not fought recently, but just hid in the mountains to enjoy the shade.

In such a comparison, it would be absolutely impossible for Han Dang's army to block the Jiangzhou army's attack.

Then, Zhang Fei immediately commanded his guards to go straight down to attack the central position of Han Dang's army leader snake formation.This is not a flat land or a wilderness. Once the enemy forces attack the center of the long snake formation, they will be easily surrounded by the two ends of the snake formation. Now the two ends of Han Dang's army can't move at all. What is Zhang Fei afraid of?

What's more, cutting off the central position of the long snake formation is equivalent to strangling Han Dangjun to death on the spot, making them unable to advance or retreat.

However, Han Dang was obviously luckier.Under the protection of his guards, he had already withdrawn to the rear army ahead of time.

Han Dang looked back and saw that the central position of the army formation had been cut off by the Jiangzhou army.The other Jiangzhou Army did the same thing, constantly dividing and surrounding Han Dang's troops, destroying Han Dang's army in small groups.

Han Dang looked at this team, and the elites who escaped with him in the west of Yiyang City died one by one, and he roared angrily.

At this moment, although Han Dang thought of death, he still drew the long sword at his waist.He strode forward to the front of the team, he wanted to lead his team out here, he believed that as long as they could get out of here, of course they would be able to survive from the dead again!
Han Dang raised his long sword high and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, turn around and fight back with me, we want to save our comrades!"

Maybe it was really infected by Han Dang's aura, and the people in the front suddenly roared in response to Han Dang's call.They turned around one after another, and they actually rushed back to kill them.

Zhang Fei was already standing on the mountainside.It should be said that the battle has progressed to the present level, and there is no need for him, the main general, to fight again. What he has to do now is to start commanding the army and how to wipe out the enemy army to the maximum extent.

Therefore, when Han Dang came back with his army, Zhang Fei saw it clearly.He looked at Han Dang's actions with some astonishment.This bastard had obviously succeeded in breaking through, so he could have led people away immediately, but he unexpectedly came back again.Isn't he looking for his own death?
However, Zhang Fei also admired Han Dang's courage and courage.Guan Handang has no more than 500 people on hand, yet he dares to return to the carbine.

In fact, Zhang Fei didn't know that Han Dang had already saved his life to become benevolent.Otherwise, he wouldn't call Han Dang's current actions a "return to the carbine".

Zhang Fei nodded and said with a smile, "This Han Dang is worth a while!"

Of course, Zhang Fei also decided to teach Han Dang a lesson.He immediately sent an order to bring back his escort team. The task of the escort team has been completed, and the next task of annihilating the enemy should be left to the ordinary soldiers to complete.

Han Dang's carbine return was still very effective. After a few impacts, he broke through Zhang Feijun's multi-layer interception and successfully rescued thousands of people before turning around and starting to retreat.

However, when Han Dang's men came to the mountain pass, they all stopped.Zhang Fei's escort, with 300 troops, had already blocked the exit of the mountain.

Han Dang looked at the heavily damaged team behind him, feeling sad for a moment.

At that time, Han Dang knew better that if he didn't fight hard now and wait for his own, it would definitely end in annihilation of the whole army.

Han Dang roared, and led his army to rush towards Zhang Fei.

An hour later, the sun had already set.The heat permeated the mountains, and the hot rising air brought the bloody and extremely unpleasant smell of the battlefield to the sky.

The moon in the sky was very bright, as if it was witnessing how cruel the battlefield with corpses littered the field.

Zhang Fei's army wiped out the last enemy who dared to continue to resist.They started to clean the battlefield.

After counting, Zhang Feijun captured 3000 people and killed more than 2000 people in this battle. Han Dang's deputy Tai Shixiang was captured, and Han Dang succeeded in breaking through with only more than 100 people.

The losses on Zhang Fei's side were not large, and the number of casualties was about 1000.
