Chapter 150 Ambush Six Routes Break Zhang Xiu

Zhang Liao defeated Zhang Xiu and sent troops, but he refused to take all the horses. He hurried back to the army and rushed to the northeast.After a while, he caught up with Sun Can's army and said to Sun Can, "My lord, Zhang Xiu and Liu Pan have been defeated by our army, and they are here to return."

Sun Can nodded, looked at Liu Hua and Guo Jia on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Now it depends on whether Jia Xu will fall into the trap of himself." Sun Can nodded, looked at Liu Hua and Guo Jia on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Now It depends on whether Jia Xu will throw himself into the trap."

Liu Hua said: "Jia Xu is used to trying to figure out the opponent's intentions, and to catch the opponent by surprise. As long as there is an opportunity, I believe he will not let it go."

"I hope so!" Sun Can knew that if this plan failed, it would be even more difficult to break through Jingxiang in the future, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he led the lieutenant soldiers to a temporary ceremony hall .

Sun Can ordered: "There is Jiheng Mountain thirty miles ahead. Jiheng Mountain can ambush soldiers and horses. Chen Dao and Liao Hua listen to the order. You take the 'Xuanhuo Camp' and 'Shui Shui Camp' to ambush around Chiheng Mountain, waiting for the enemy When the army arrives, you must set fire to the Jiheng Mountain Road, and set the Jiheng Mountain Road on fire. Then kill them. Remember, bluff, just drive them out of Zhiheng Mountain. The number of soldiers must not be revealed. This is the "Xuanhuo Battalion" , The first battle of the 'Flood Camp' is only allowed to win, not to lose."

"The last general takes orders!" Chen Dao and Liao Hua respectfully took the order talisman, and led two battalions of 'Xuanhuo Camp' and 'Shui Shui Camp' with more than [-] soldiers, and rushed to Zhiheng Mountain to deploy fire attack methods.

Sun Can took another arrow and said, "General Zhou Cang obeys the order!"

Zhou Cang was dispatched to take over the order.

"You take five thousand 'Qingmuying' soldiers and lurk at the mouth of Zhiheng Mountain. When the enemy comes, let him go there and don't fight. After most of their soldiers escape from the mountain pass, they will rush out to pursue. Remember to chase. After ten miles, immediately return to Junzhi Heng Mountain to stand by, and don't act rashly."

"Get the order!" Zhou Cang held the second order (the second order refers to the second person to receive the order. At that time, the order was important. The first order was the key to victory, and the credit was the greatest, followed by the second order. There are often plots of competing for tasks in the book. , what they are fighting for is the first order. All generals are honored to win the first three orders), and happily walked out of the tent.

Sun Can took out three orders and said, "Li Tong listens to the order!"

Seeing that Sun Can handed over the important third order to him, Li Tong was overjoyed immediately, and said loudly, "Li Tong is here!"

"You take [-] soldiers up the Pheasant River and meet General Gao Shun at the upper reaches. As soon as you hear the noise of people and horses from the lower reaches, immediately push away the sandbags that have been piled up, flood them with water, and kill them as soon as you cover them. Come down to answer."

"The last general takes orders." Li Tong was ordered to leave.

"Zhang Liao, you lie in ambush on the left side of the lower reaches of the Zhihe River!"

"Yes!"

"Fan Wu, you lie in ambush to the right of the lower reaches of the Zhihe River!"

"Leader!"

"The two of you are mainly recruiting and surrendering. It's a pity that these soldiers were killed by strong men from Xiliang. I believe that when they meet you, they should have little fighting power left." Sun Can laughed.

Then, Sun Can gave another order: "Gongming, you immediately send troops to capture the last passage of Duan Zhangxiu in Zhixian County."

After all the orders were issued, Sun Can said with a smile: "Jia Wenhe lost [-] of our army in the third battle. Today I will kill them in the first battle, and they have no power to fight back."

**********************************************
But he said that when Zhang Xiu was defeated and returned to Wancheng, he was very ashamed to see Jia Xu, and said sadly: "Mr. Wenhe, I regret not listening to your words. After suffering such a disastrous defeat, only five thousand of the [-] troops returned. Face to Mister."

Liu Pan stood aside and said angrily, "If we hadn't only brought [-] soldiers, how could we have been defeated by Zhang Liao's [-] soldiers?" The implication was obviously to shift the responsibility for the defeat to Jia Xu.

Zhang Xiu was furious when he heard this, he has always respected Jia Xu very much, he obeyed his words, even if he didn't want to, he would respect his wishes.

If it wasn't Liu Pan's instigation this time, he might not advocate sending troops.Of course, he was not blaming Liu Pan for his previous persuasion, after all, he was the one who finally approved, but it would be a big mistake for Liu Pan to shift the responsibility for his failure to Jia Xu.Zhang Xiu immediately shouted: "We are obviously incompetent, and we are not Zhang Liao's opponent. How can we blame Mr. Wenhe? If Mr. Wenhe had not controlled the force to less than [-] people, Sun Can might have taken Wancheng at this moment. Where is it?" It's your turn to speak here."

Liu Pan's face turned green and pale, he really couldn't figure out why Zhang Xiu would offend him for a notorious counselor.

He who was a noble man had never been insulted like this before, and he left immediately.

The corner of Jia Xu's eyes glanced at Liu Pan's back, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that this hatred had already been forged, and it was difficult to undo it.He knew that as soon as Liu Pan returned to Xiangyang, Liu Pan would definitely confront Zhang Xiu everywhere.

A Liu Pan who cherishes like a child, an outsider who has no relatives and no reasons who may threaten Xiangyang, who will Liu Biao trust who uses others as relatives.With Jia Xu's intelligence, there is no reason why he can't guess it.

To say that Liu Pan's immortality was more valuable than death.So at this moment, only Liu Pan's death can allow Zhang Xiu to gain greater benefits.

Therefore, Liu Pan must die.

Just when Jia Xu was thinking about it, Zhang Xiu apologized to Jia Xu again.

Jia Xu suddenly came to his senses and said anxiously: "General Zhang, [-] troops and horses are ready. General, hurry up and send troops to pursue Sun Can."

Zhang Xiu said with a wry smile: "Sir, don't be sarcastic, I'll be defeated. Why do you want to pursue?"

Jia Xu said confidently: "This time, I will definitely win. If I lose again, Jia Xu is willing to die. Thank you General."

Zhang Xiu was already scared of being beaten, and he didn't dare to go again when he saw him for a while. Jia Xu had no choice but to say: "The general's commanding ability is not as good as Sun Can's, and his planning ability is not as good as him. When retreating, due to the seriousness of the situation, Sun Can will definitely order himself. After being able to break the battle, all the soldiers also have the determination to die, and their combat effectiveness is by no means what our army can defeat at this moment.

Therefore, the general's pursuit will definitely be defeated by Sun Can's army.

Chasing again will be very different. After the opponent breaks our army's pursuers, Sun Can will definitely return to Shouchun in a hurry to rescue and relax his vigilance. This is also the weakest point of Sun Can's army.At this time, if our army goes to chase again, the opponent will definitely be unprepared, and our army will surely win by "surprisingly, attacking the unprepared". "

Zhang Xiu was enlightened, and immediately ordered all the soldiers who could fight to chase Sun Can's army again.

After suffering a loss, Zhang Xiu's words to Jia Xu have almost reached the point of worshiping him like a god. He is full of confidence in his wonderful idea and chases after Sun Can non-stop.

After chasing for half a day, I finally found the trace of Sun Can's army.

At this time, Meteor came to report and said: "General, Sun Canjun just passed the Jiheng Mountain Road not long ago."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, if it was normal, he would consider whether there would be ambushes due to the dangerous terrain of Mount Chiheng.However, there was no need to think about it at this moment. He rested for a while, chewed some dry rations for the march, made some preparations before the battle, and then led the fast horse to the Zhiheng mountain road.

The mountain road of Zhiheng Mountain is narrow, because it is the end of summer at this moment, there are many dry grasses around.

Zhang Xiu felt that something was wrong, so he planned to rush across the Jiheng mountain road in one go.

Not far away, Chen Dao looked coldly at Zhang Xiu who was getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, he put his hands into his mouth and blew violently. The shrill bird call echoed on the mountain path of Zhiheng Mountain. This was the planned attack. signal of.

The "Xuanhuo Camp" that had long been lurking in the surrounding forests threw down the things around them, including kerosene, firewood, and dead branches and leaves wrapped together.

The "Flood Camp" was also ready, and the sharp arrows with fire poured down, like a heavy rain, and shot down densely.Immediately, the fireworks rose to the sky, and the fire flew with the wind, and it was bright red, reflecting the sky and the earth.

The screams came again and again, and the begging for mercy could be seen everywhere.There are countless people who crowded each other and trampled each other.

Suddenly, the sound of killing from behind the hillside shook the sky, the sound of drums shook the ground, dust was everywhere, and an ambush suddenly broke out.

This is a mountainous area, the shouts of killing echoed in the valley, it seems that there are soldiers and horses of Sun Can's army all over the mountains and plains.The smoke and dust from the burning of dead branches and rotten leaves rose up, covering the sun and the sky, and the flags were flying inside, and the knives and guns were shining, and it seemed to be a general of heavenly soldiers!
The number of soldiers seems to be in the millions, it is impossible to estimate.

Zhang Xiu was so frightened that his heart was shattered, he didn't dare to stop for a long time, he hurriedly threw away the large objects such as luggage, grain and grass, shouted and retreated, and fled in a hurry.

After finally exiting the scene of fire, another team came out from the right hand side, the leader, Banri Qiuran, was the original Funiu Mountain King Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang was born with the strength of a thousand catties in both arms. He swung a [-]-jin sledgehammer. Those who were hit by the hammer would die without breaking their bones, even war horses were no exception.

Every newborn calf in "Qingmu Camp" has a long spear in his hand, picks and stabs them, and their combat effectiveness is quite extraordinary.

Zhang Xiu didn't know how many ambushes there were in the mountain, he was horrified, and had no intention of resisting, just fled forward sullenly, and fled for more than ten li in one breath.

Zhou Cang followed his orders and did not chase after him.

Hu Che'er rushed to Zhang Xiu's side and sighed: "General Zhang, the other party has not caught up, so you can take a rest."

Zhang Xiu was relieved, sighed for a long time, and said: "Mr. Wenhe, sure enough, there are times when mistakes are made. Xiu relies too much on him. He thinks that Mr. Wenhe is a god, and he can't make mistakes. Who knows... Sigh!" downcast face.

At this time, Hu Che'er persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, general. We still have more than [-] soldiers, and there is still a chance to rise again. Not far ahead, there is a Pheasant River. Let's go wash it and let the horses drink water. Let's take a rest. Otherwise, if we encounter the enemy again, we will be powerless to fight, and we will have nothing to do but wait to be captured."

Zhang Xiu nodded, and arrived at the Zhihe River. When the soldiers saw the water, they swarmed up together like hungry ghosts seeing delicacies from mountains and seas. These soldiers, who were about to become roast pigs, jumped into the river without even thinking about it. inside.

Drinking water, bathing, washing horses...everything.

It's just that the water is too shallow, and everyone feels a little unsatisfactory.

Of course, Sun Canjun is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and he is very willing to meet certain requirements. Since Xiongtai feels that the water is insufficient, then we can add some for you.

Just at the turn of Sanli Road upstream, Sun Canjun used sandbags and wooden stakes.A dam was built to block the river: wooden piles at both ends were firmly secured, and dozens of heavy cables were attached to it, and the cables were all wrapped around the rocks on the bank.Layers of sandbags are stacked on the jack board to stop the water flow.The downstream water flows less and less, and the water above rises higher and higher.Five hundred soldiers sat in small boats and kept adding sandbags up. The sandbags were piled up beyond the banks on both sides of the river, and the water was still rising.

At this time, Tan Ma came to report: "The general and the enemy soldiers have already played in the Zhihe River."

Gao Shun heard the commotion downstream and was reported by soldiers again, so he forced someone to pull away the wooden stake and rush across the sandbag.

The river rolled sandbags and rushed for thousands of miles. "Wow..." The momentum was like overwhelming mountains and seas, and the sound was like thousands of horses galloping.Before the water had time to pour down from the river, the waves rolled to the banks on both sides.

Zhang Xiujun felt something was wrong, let alone climbed ashore to escape, he didn't even have time to shout "Ah Ya", and he rushed to nowhere.In an instant, the river surged several feet, and there were only rough waves, but there was no sign of Zhang Xiujun in the water, not even a cry, only the roaring and churning of the river.

Gao Shun and Li Tong were killed.

Zhang Xiu and other generals ran wildly without morale.

After a short escape, Zhang Liao came out from the left, Zhang Xiu went to the right, and Fan Wu came out from the right.

When Zhang Xiu saw the two of them for the second time, he thought sadly: "I didn't expect that I, Zhang Xiu, would be buried here?"

"My lord, don't panic, Hu Che'er is here!" Just when Zhang Xiu Wannian was afraid of ashes, Hu Che'er brought thousands of guards and killed him.

Together with Hu Che'er, Zhang Xiu took two thousand relatives and broke out of the encirclement.Zhang Liao and the others did not pursue, but stayed behind to recruit those Xiliang soldiers who had no confidence in fighting according to Sun Can's order, and salvaged survivors downstream.

Zhang Xiu fled to Zhi County in embarrassment.

On the way, Zhang Xiu sighed: "Thinking that I, Zhang Xiu, became famous in the Northland, I can't count all the battles and battles in my body, but I never expected that I will suffer such a disastrous defeat today."

Hu Che'er listened indifferently, and said after a long time: "The prefect of Ji County is an old subordinate of the general, we can take a rest here."

When they arrived in Zhi County, they saw a sad person, and that person was Xu Huang.

Since the prefect of Zhi County was Zhang Xiu's confidant and was unwilling to surrender, Xu Huang had to attack by force.

Zhi County had just been conquered not long ago, and there were bloodstains all around, Xu Huang saw that it was too late to wash it off, so he simply waited for Zhang Xiu on the city wall, and shouted: "Child Zhang Xiu, what do you mean by coming to my Zhi County?"

The ambushes from all directions were exhausted, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er fought hard to break out of the encirclement again, at this moment there were less than a thousand soldiers beside them.

In this battle, [-] of Zhang Xiu's [-] troops died in battle, and as many as [-] surrendered, and the number of escapees cannot be counted.In short, Zhang Xiu was almost wiped out in this battle.
