Chapter 75 Shamoko's Raid

Gao Ding has 70,000 people under his command, and Yong Kai and Zhu Bao also have 70,000 people under his command, so the two sides have always maintained a delicate balance, but now the arrival of Shamoko has broken this balance.

Although the Wuxi barbarians are not large in number, they are famous for fighting. Now that Shamoko comes to Zhuti, they immediately become the target of the two sides' competing for them. At this time, both Yong Kai and Zhu Bao understand that as long as Shamoko is able to win over to his side, it is equivalent to having the right to speak in the future.

Wuxi Barbarian Camp.

Shamoko sent away the messenger sent by Gaoding and returned to the camp with a little tiredness.

A scholar in his thirties came out. The scholar was the Han military advisor without eyebrows from Shamoke. If he casually asked an official from Chengdu to come over, he would definitely be able to recognize that the Han military advisor without eyebrows was Ma Liang.

Ma Liang was sent by Adou to persuade the Wuxi barbarians. Ma Liang was originally planning to go directly to Wuxi. But thinking that Shamoke might have sent troops to Zhuti, Ma Liang went south to the river and intercepted Shamoke's army halfway.

The Ma family and the Wuxi barbarians are close friends, and the two families have deep friendships. Ma Liang himself is also a kind person, so he is deeply trusted by the Wuxi barbarians, so Ma Liang easily met Shamoke.

Ma Liang told Shamoke the conditions offered by Adou that Shamoke naturally believed in Ma Liang's words, so Shamoke immediately agreed to surrender to Shu and said that he would go back to Wuxi immediately and would no longer help Zhu Bao, but was stopped by Ma Liang.

According to Ma Liang's plan, Shamoko continued to lead troops to Zhuti. After A Dou's army arrived in Zhuti, they cooperated with the Shu army inside and outside to defeat the rebels. Ma Liang himself stayed in Shamoko's army.

However, Ma Liang's pair of white eyebrows was too conspicuous. Everyone knew that Ma Liang had a pair of white eyebrows. If someone saw this pair of white eyebrows, he would definitely recognize Ma Liang. So in order to cover up his identity, Ma Liang shaved off his eyebrows.

Under Ma Liang's instruction, Shamoke did not express his attitude clearly, but instead adopted a strategy of getting along with everything and starting to play Tai Chi between Gaoding and Yongkai, and waited for the arrival of A Dou's army.

On the city of Zhuti.

Seeing the enemy retreating again, Li Hui licked his lips.

Although he followed Wang Kang's advice a few days ago and went out of the city to raid the rebels at night, and achieved great results, there were too many rebels, and the small loss was just a scratching point for the enemy.

Fortunately, Zhuti City is still rich in food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers is also maintained well. In addition, the high-end customs and Yongqiu does not trust each other, so there is no danger of breaking the city at present.

Footsteps came from behind his ears. Li Hui looked back and found that it was Wang Kang and Lu Kai who were coming. Wang Kang and Lu Kai walked over with a smile, came to Li Hui near, and said, "Sir, good news! The scout came to report that the reinforcements of His Highness the Crown Prince had arrived in Zhuti's territory and were rushing towards this side."

"Take it seriously? The reinforcements are really coming? How many have they come?" Li Hui asked immediately.

"Thirty thousand. His Highness the Crown Prince personally led a 30,000 army to come."

Li Hui let out a long sigh. With these 30,000 reinforcements, Zhu Ti would not be defeated.

Adou led the army to Zhuti City, and Li Hui immediately opened the city and welcomed Adou into the city. Then Li Hui learned from Ma Su that more than 100,000 troops of Lu Xun in Jiangdong had been repelled by Adou.

Li Hui felt very incredible when the Jiangdong Army was repelled. You should know that the news of Jiangdong Lu Xun's attack on Shu had just reached Nanzhong a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the Jiangdong Army was defeated back to Jiangdong so soon. In this way, the Shu army in Sichuan could do its best to deal with the rebels in Nanzhong.

With 30,000 reinforcements and the original troops in the city, defending Zhu Ti was more than enough. However, Li Hui did not expect that the order issued by Adou was not to defend the city, but to let the army rest for a day and leave the city to meet the enemy the next day.

Adou's order surprised Li Hui. There were more than 100,000 troops outside the city, and the Shu army and Adou's reinforcements were only 40,000. Even if the enemy's training and equipment were not as good as the Shu army, the advantage of the number of people was there after all. The best choice now should be to defend the city rather than to conflict with the rebels head-on.

But not long after, the arrival of a Wuxi barbarian gave Li Hui a reassurance.

The news that the 30,000 reinforcements of the Shu army had arrived had been heard by Gao Ding, and Yong Kai and others. However, Gao Ding and Yong Kai did not know that Lu Xun in Jiangdong had been defeated.

Gao Ding, Yong Kai and others were already in a difficult situation at this time. For them, it was impossible for them to return to their respective territories to be overlords. If Gao Ding and others retreated to their respective territories, when Liu Bei's Northern Expedition ended, regardless of Liu Bei's victory or defeat, they would inevitably send a large army to attack Nanzhong. At that time, Gao Ding Yong Kai's good days would come to an end.

Therefore, Gao Ding, Yong Kai and Zhu Bao must take this opportunity to defeat the Shu army in one fell swoop. If it can conquer Chengdu, the youngest master will conquer Zhu Ti and stabilize the entire Nanzhong front.

There were 30,000 more troops in Zhuti City, and it was much more difficult to attack Zhuti. However, the rebels also had more than 100,000 troops. Although their training and equipment were not as good as the regular Shu army, they could still capture Zhuti using the sea of ​​people tactics.

Gao Ding Yong Kai and others did not know that the Wu army had been repelled by Adou. According to Yong Kai's analysis, these 30,000 troops were already all the troops that the Shu army could mobilize. However, the Shu army transferred these 30,000 troops to the southern middle, and the defense in the east would inevitably be insufficient, so Lu Xun had an opportunity to take advantage of.

Jiangdong promised Yong Kai a great official title, so Yong Kai naturally hoped that Lu Xun could conquer Chengdu.

Another point is that Yong Kai has another strong support, that is, Meng Huo, the Southern Barbarian.

Meng Huo is now gathering people from various tribes of the Southern Barbarians. The entire Southern Barbarians are soldiers, so they are conservatively estimated that Meng Huo can recruit more than 100,000 people. If Meng Huo's more than 100,000 people are added, it will be enough to capture Zhuti City.

Because of the arrival of the reinforcements of the Shu army, the morale of the Shu army in Zhuti City was greatly boosted, and coupled with the cover of the Zhuti city wall, siege was a very unwise decision at this time. So Gao Ding Yong Kai and others discussed it and decided to avoid their edge for the time being, and wait until the sharpness of the Shu army passed, and then prepare to attack the city.

The rumbling sound of war drums came from a distance, and Yong Kai slowly opened his eyes, put on a robe, and walked out.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Yong Kai called the guard and asked with an unhappy look on his face. At this moment, Zhou Shan ran over.

"Lord, the Shu army has set up a formation outside Zhuti City. It seems that it is going to confront us head-on." Zhou Shan said.

"Are you serious?" Yong Kai's sleepiness suddenly disappeared and immediately sent someone out to investigate. Soon after, his subordinates returned to Yong Kai. The Shu army had indeed set up a formation, and there was a general outside calling out.

After receiving this news, Yong Kai was overjoyed. Originally, Yong Kai was still having a headache and attacking the city would cause a lot of losses, but he didn't expect that the Shu army was so stupid that he left the city and fought head-on with his tens of thousands of troops! In this way, the Shu army would undoubtedly be defeated.

Thinking of this, Yong Kai immediately ordered: "Contact Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and Shamoke immediately, and line up to fight with the Shu army."

"Lord, no!" Zhou Shan immediately stopped: "Lord, I think the Shu army must be deceitful in this move, so we must not prove to confront them."

"Are you cheating?" Yong Kai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Please give me advice."

"Lord, Liu Chan is even more cunning. Even the great governor of the Eastern Wu, Lu Meng, died at the hands of Liu Chan, so how could Liu Chan easily leave the city and confront us head-on?"

"Maybe Liu Changang came to Zhu Ti and didn't know what Zhu Ti was doing, so he rashly left the city!" Yong Kai said.

"Even if that is the case, how could Li Hui not dissuade Liu Chan? We have been attacking the city these days, and Li Hui has been advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. It can be seen that Li Hui is also a well-versed in military affairs. If Liu Chan wants to go out of the city to confront our army, Li Hui will definitely dissuade him. So I think Liu Chan will definitely call for a conspiracy when he goes out of the city this time!" Zhou Shan continued to explain.

"Why would you like to ask the military advisor, what conspiracy does the Shu army have?" Yong Kai asked.

"This..." Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment and then replied straightforwardly: "I don't know."

Although Zhou Shan has followed Zhou Yu for several years, his ability is very different from Zhou Yu. Otherwise, he would not have done anything in Liu Bei's territory for so many years. Although Zhou Shan has realized that Liu Chan dared to lead the army out of the city and set up a decisive battle formation, there must be conspiracy. However, with Zhou Shan's ability, he really can't guess what Adou is going to do.

"Hahaha... I think you are a military advisor and you are too worried!" Yong Kai smiled, and then continued: "The so-called generals come to block the water and cover the soil. Our army is several times higher than the Shu army. Even if the Shu army has a conspiracy, what can we do to me?"

Yong Kai said, pointing around: "Using conspiracy and tricks to defeat my tens of thousands of troops is just a water attack or a fire attack. Look at the empty people around, there is no fire still. Fire attack will naturally not work. Now it is still early in the flood season, and the river water is dry, so the military advisor can rest assured that since the Shu army dares to leave the city easily today, then God will destiny that our army will definitely win!"

When Yong Kai led his men out of the city, Gao Ding, Zhu Bao and Shamoke's troops had already arrived in front of the formation. More than 100,000 people stood together, and were connected in a vast circle.

In front of the formation, a young general was shouting in a serpent spear.

This young general is Zhang Bao.

On the ground beside Zhang Bao, there were two corpses lying, and the bodies were still steaming. On Zhang Bao's Snake Spear, blood kept dripping down along the curved spearhead. Needless to say, the two corpses on the ground were Zhang Bao's masterpieces.

"Zhang Bao is here, who dares to come out to die?" Zhang Bao's voice was no less than Zhang Fei's. When he shouted, the hundreds of thousands of troops across the street could hear it clearly.

"E Huan, go and slapped Zhang Bao's aura!" Gao Ding said to a general around him.

This man was nine feet tall and mighty at the time, with a ferocious face. He had a square painting halberd in his hand, and he was brave enough to be a man of thousands of men. This man was E Huan, the number one general under Gao Ding.

"The last one will be ordered!" E Huan shouted, then stepped out and headed straight for Zhang Bao.

"Come and General Ming, please join Mr. Zhang and don't kill the nameless ghost!" Zhang Bao shouted at the evil man.

"I am E Huan, the general under the command of King Yi of Yue, and I will take your life!" E Huan said, and took Zhang Bao straight.

Needless to say, Zhang Baoshen’s true teachings of Zhang Fei are superb martial arts. E Huan, a person with a very good innate physical fitness, is extremely powerful, and his body reacts very quickly. After more than fifty rounds, E Huan actually gained the upper hand.

In fact, this has something to do with Zhang Bao's lack of experience in facing the enemy. Zhang Bao and Guan Xing have lived in Chengdu for many years and have never been on the battlefield. They have not had any experience in facing the enemy at all. Although Zhang Bao often competes with others in daily life, it is impossible to fight with his life after all. He has never experienced a life-and-death battle. On the battlefield, some places will definitely not be able to handle it. E Huan is a general under Gao Ding, and has fought countless battles of all sizes and sizes, and his experience in fighting is much richer than Zhang Bao, so E Huan gained the upper hand at this time.

However, Zhang Bao received the true teachings of Zhang Fei. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, so for a while, Zhang Bao was not in danger of his life.

At this time, Adou, who was only commanding the battle behind, had discovered that Gao Ding, Zhu Bao, Yong Kai and Shamoke had expired, and Shamoke was not far away from Zhu Bao.

Shamoke was invited by Zhu Bao, so it is reasonable that Shamoke's Wuxi Barbarian Army is closer to Zhu Bao Station and did not arouse Zhu Bao's vigilance.

"It's time!" Adou sighed lightly, and then said to Xiang Chong behind him: "Xiang Chong, send an order, and the three armies move forward."

Later, Xiang Chong received A Dou's order and immediately ordered the three armies to move forward.

This time, A Dou gave the command of the battle to Xiang Chong. In such a large-scale battle, it is better to command a martial artist in a relatively professional way. Now, Xiang Chong is the best choice for A Dou. Xiang Chong has been familiar with military tactics since childhood, and even Liu Bei praised Xiang Chong. Although Xiang Chong's martial arts skills are mediocre, Xiang Chong is even stronger than Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong in terms of response to the war and command of the war.

As Xiang Chongling's flag waved, the drum sounded a sense of rhythm, and the Shu army began to move forward slowly.

Although the Shu army seemed to be slow, there was no confusion at all. On the contrary, it had a momentum that made people feel a sense of depression filled their hearts. Although this progress was not as shocking as a large number of people shouting and charging forward, it made Gao Ding Yong Kai and others on the other side feel a little chill.

For rebels who have not received much formal training, the strong oppressive advancement of the Shu army makes people feel that it is impossible to do so.

"What are you afraid of? Blast me! Break them down!" Yong Kai shouted loudly, and then the soldiers behind Yong Kai immediately rushed forward, and then Gao Ding also rushed forward.

The rebels shouted loudly to drive away the fear in their hearts and to give themselves courage. The Shu army was still moving forward slowly, with no slight chaos in the formation.

When the two armies were about to approach, the flag in the hand of Feng, and the drum sound changed. The Shu army immediately stopped and stabilized its formation.

The two armies collided, and blood suddenly scattered, and a piece of rebels fell down instantly, but the Shu army still seemed like a mountain, still standing still.

"Where is Wen Qin?" A Dou shouted behind him.

"The last one is here!" Wen Qin immediately stood up. Not long after A Dou returned to Shuzhong, Wen Qin also arrived in Yizhou from Ziwu Valley.

"Take the Seven Evil Guards immediately and launch an attack from the flanks!" A Dou ordered.

"The last one will obey the order!" A large flag rose from the Shu army, with three golden characters "Seven Evils" on it.

Now the Seven Evil Guards are no longer the Seven Evil Guards of the past. After A Dou returned to Chengdu, Liu Bei granted A Dou apex to 800 people. However, Xiang Fei was not accommodating the environment and had been ill in bed since he arrived in Shu, so these 800 people were usually trained by Wen Qin.

Wen Qin took the Eight Hundred Seven Evil Guards cavalry toward the flank position, and then began to attack the enemy's flank, which happened to be where the high-end troops were located.

Although there were not many eight hundred people, they were all cavalrymen. They came and went like the wind. The harassment made the infantry under Gaoding very troubled, but they were helpless. The cavalry was too fast and the infantry was the least at all. Wen Qin used the method of fighting and retreated immediately after one blow. The soldiers under Gaoding could only sigh at the dust brought by the horse's butt.

The number of Seven Evil Guards is too small, which does not cause much lethality to the 70,000 troops of the Gaodesk Division, but it plays a restraining role, causing a slight disconnection in the coordination between the Gaodesk and Yong Kai troops.

The war ahead was in a state of anxiety, and Zhu Bao finally couldn't help it and rushed forward with his personal guards.

"General Zhu Bao, please stay!" A person behind suddenly called Zhu Bao. Zhu Bao turned around and saw that the man was Shamoko.

Shamoke rushed to Zhu Bao, and Zhu Bao was about to ask Shamoke what he was calling him, but at the moment when Zhu Bao opened his mouth, a sudden change broke out.

Shamoke suddenly reached out and picked up the caltrop bone in his hand and smashed it at Zhu Bao. At such a close distance, Zhu Bao had no time to react to the sudden attack of Shamoke. Shamoke's bone just hit Zhu Bao's head.

The terrestrial terrestrial bones are actually improved by hammers. Adding a lot of sharp thorns to the hammer head becomes the terrestrial thorns, but unlike the wolf tooth hammer, the wolf tooth hammer is the wolf tooth hammer, and the density is relatively thin, while the terrestrial thorns are the sharp thorns on the iron thorns, which is relatively dense. Because there are many more sharp thorns, the weight of the terrestrial thorns is heavier than the hammer of the same model.

The hammer is originally a relatively large weight among heavy weapons, and the caltrop bones are three points heavier than the hammer. If they hit the head, the person who is hit will naturally die without life.

The guards around Zhu Bao were also frightened by this sudden change, but the caltrop bones in Shamoke's hand did not stop. Shamoke waved the caltrop bones in his hand and instantly knocked down the three more people.
