Chapter 597 The Battle of Hanzhong (1)

The knights dismounted and rushed to Wei Yan's horse. At this time, Wei Yan saw clearly that these people were all covered in blood and embarrassed faces, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in their hearts. Several people bowed together, and the leading one asked, "Do you dare to ask what the general is called?" Wei Yan said, "I am Wei Yan." The man's eyes lit up and he hurriedly bowed, "God of General Wei!" Wei Yan asked, "Why are you so embarrassed? Is there something wrong with Hanzhong?" The man said anxiously, "Return to the general's words! Not long ago, Liu Bei led the army through Ziwu Valley to attack Hanzhong. Now Hanzhong is in the fierce attack of the enemy. The situation is very critical! I don't know if the city is still there at this moment!"

Wei Yan frowned slightly. The man immediately said, "General Wei, we have finally come to ask for help by the order of the lord!"

Wei Yan squinted his eyes at the man, looked at the others, and found no abnormality. He asked, "Since you are sent by Zhang Lu, can you have his token?" The man immediately untied the bag on his back, opened it, took out a roll of bamboo slips and put it on, and said, "This is my master's handwritten letter." Wei Yan took the letter and read it, then asked the man, "There is only this letter?" The man quickly took out a cup of golden light.

The flashing arrow held up the arrow and presented it to Wei Yan with both hands, and said, "This is the Taoist command arrow that is unique to my lord. Please look at it." Wei Yan took the arrow and looked carefully. Although he had never seen the Taoist command arrow, he had heard Xu Shu describe it. Seeing that the arrow in his hand was exactly the same as what Xu Shu described and was very exquisitely made, he immediately believed that this was Zhang Lu's unique Taoist command arrow. As soon as he thought of this, the suspicion in his heart disappeared.

Wei Yan returned the arrow to the man and asked, "What is the situation in Hanzhong now? How many soldiers and horses have Liu Bei mobilized?"

The man held the arrow and then clasped his fists and said, "When the general said, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Liu Feng, Liao Hua, and a 60,000 general to attack! He has been attacking our city for two days. Although our army has resisted with all its strength under the leadership of Lord Zhang, the enemy is really fierce and I am afraid it will not last long! If the situation is not urgent, the villain would not risk going out of the city to ask for help! Maybe, maybe...!" Wei Yan couldn't help but feel anxious after hearing his words.

He frowned and murmured to himself, "What a Liu Bei! He actually mobilized an army of 60,000. He is really determined to win!" The man clasped his fists and said anxiously, "Please hurry up to Hanzhong! It's too late, I'm afraid it's too late!" Wei Yan nodded thinking and nodded, shouting, "Lead ahead!" The man responded happily, and immediately led a few companions back to his mount, turned over and beat the horse to lead the way. Wei Yan led the army closely behind.

The army was moving forward, marching between the steep mountains and rivers. From time to time, the sound of eagles roaring came from the top. Looking up, I saw that the eagles seemed to be hovering on the top of the mountain.

In the afternoon, the army came near Ziwu Road. The terrain here was even more steep. On the left was the rolling Han River, with waves surging, and on the right were the cliffs, like screens!

Wei Yan suddenly found that the guys leading the way were actually running wildly. He couldn't help but feel strange and shouted, "What are you doing when you run so fast? Slow down!" However, the people seemed to not hear it, but kept waving their whips, and their mounts ran faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, they entered the woods not far away and disappeared.

Wei Yan suddenly felt aroused his heart, he held the horses, raised his sword and shouted, "Stop!" The army stopped immediately. The general asked in confusion: "General, why did he stop suddenly?" Wei Yan frowned and looked at the steep terrain and dense forests around him, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not right! If you pass the order, the front team will become the back team, and you will immediately retreat to the west city!"

However, before he finished speaking, a loud horn sound suddenly came from the top of the mountain, breaking the silence of the wilderness! At the same time, countless arrows and locusts flew from the mountainside on the right, and the unexpected Qin army officers and soldiers were shot and turned over!

Wei Yan raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Shield Defense!" The Qin army's shield player immediately raised his shield and rushed to the surroundings of the team to form a defensive front. At this time, arrows were flying all over the sky, and the Qin army's shield could not protect the entire area. Qin army officers and soldiers were constantly knocked to the ground by arrows flying all over the sky, screaming one after another! Some officers and soldiers were also shot to the ground by flying arrows in order to rescue their companions who were shot by arrows! Wei Yan yelled loudly: "The whole army is stable! Retreat slowly!" The army barely maintained the defensive front and slowly retreated along the way.

Guan Yu, who was standing on the top of the mountain, saw that the Qin army suddenly encountered an ambush but was not panicked, and could still respond calmly. He couldn't help but sigh and exclaimed: "The Qin army is indeed the most powerful in the world! It was not in chaos when the attack suddenly happened!" Liu Bei frowned and looked a little worried. Pang Tong, who was beside him, immediately clasped his fists and said: "Lord, order the whole army to attack! Otherwise, when they come back to their senses, this battle will be difficult to fight!" Liu Bei nodded, turned his head and shouted to the commander: "The whole army! Take a full attack!" The commander Yingnuo made his commander's call to shoot three red flags, and at the same time made the drummer beat the war drum. For a moment, the sound of the war drums rumbling like thunder rolling between mountains and rivers, deafening and thrilling!

At the same time, Liu Bei's army, who were ambushing around, rushed out and attacked the Qin army! The mountains and rivers immediately turned into a fierce battlefield. Liu Bei's army rushed out of a cage like a tiger, and the flashing cold light raised its flesh and blood and danced all over the sky. It was as powerful as the Qin army in this situation, and it seemed difficult to fight back! The sudden charge caused the Qin army to be in chaos, and the Qin army suffered heavy casualties in a while!

Seeing the urgent situation, Wei Yan urgently ordered a unit to cut off the rear. He led the rest of the troops to break through the siege in the rear! The Qin army officers and soldiers fought to the death, and the fierce battle was very fierce. The officers and soldiers on both sides kept falling into the pool of blood! The spears of Liu Bei soldiers pierced the chests of Qin soldiers, and the swords of Qin soldiers slashed the heads of Liu Bei soldiers! Liu Bei soldiers fought hard, vowing to stop the Qin army from breaking through the encirclement, while the Qin army rushed to the death, vowing to break out of the encirclement! The collision between the officers and soldiers on both sides was like a surge dam, which seemed extremely fierce and shocking!

The more than a thousand Qin army officers and soldiers responsible for the cut off the rear were resisting the tide of Liu Bei's army, and the battle situation became even more tragic! Liu Bei's army continued to set off attack waves, and each time it seemed to completely submerge the Qin army. However, when the attack wave was exhausted, the Qin army was still standing there! The corpses were already piled up on the ground, and the blood of the officers and soldiers on both sides gathered into a stream that flowed into the Han River not far away.

Seeing that his army was unable to defeat the more than a thousand officers and soldiers who were cut off the back of the opponent, Guan Yu was extremely angry and immediately rode his horse and rushed to the middle of the army with his sword, and personally led the army to attack the Qin army! This was the seventh round of charge of Liu Bei's army. Under Guan Yu's personal leadership, it seemed like invincible waves! The Qin army officers and soldiers tried their best to resist. In the fierce battle, the Qin army officers and soldiers fell one by one before the surging wave. The defensive front built with flesh and blood was almost collapsed!

In a blink of an eye, Liu Bei's army finally rushed the Qin army that was broken, and the Qin army soldiers seemed to be trapped in the surging torrent of the other party! The Qin army officers and soldiers still did not retreat and were fighting to the death because they did not receive the order to retreat! During the fierce battle, the Qin army officers and soldiers fell one by one! After cutting down an enemy soldier, a Qin army officer was pierced by countless enemy guns and fell high in a pool of blood! On the other side, a Qin army soldier was pierced by the spear of the opponent's soldiers. He shouted with his last breath, and pierced the other's chest with both hands! Both sides glared at each other's mouth and sprayed blood, and fell down together! Because the spears of both sides supported the other's body, they did not fall down.

Liu Bei's army's offensive swept the battlefield like a wave! The remaining Qin army officers and soldiers fought to the last breath. The bravery and heroic spirit made Liu Bei's army move.

I don’t know how long the fierce battle lasted, but it seemed like it was a long time, and it didn’t seem like it was! Only a dozen of Qin soldiers left behind were left! They gathered together, covered in scars, an officer holding a long sword that had been missing, his left arm was gone, and blood kept dripping from the broken arm, gasping for breath, but his eyes were covered with blood. The fierce murderous aura made no one who met him shocked!

Guan Yu came to the front of the army by fighting horses, looked at the Qin army officers and soldiers, admired them very much, and shouted loudly: "I don't want to kill you! Those who put down their weapons can survive!"

The officer looked at Guan Yu contemptuously and said proudly: "Despicable rats! Stop talking nonsense! If you have the ability, kill us!" Guan Yu was furious, waved the Qinglong Yanyue sword in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" The troops immediately shouted and rushed up. In an instant, the dozen or so Qin soldiers remaining seemed to be flooded by the waves. Although there were only a dozen people, although they were all scarred, Liu Bei's army could not easily destroy them. After a fierce battle, these Qin soldiers all sacrificed their lives to death, just like tigers fighting to the death before they died. They forced more than a dozen enemy troops to take the cushion to kill the battlefield!

Guan Yu finally destroyed the Qin army that had cut off the rear and immediately led his army to the east, preparing to destroy the main force of the Qin army. However, when he arrived at the place, he found that the army responsible for cutting off the Qin army's retreat had been destroyed by the Qin army, with corpses everywhere on the ground, and a messy scene. Guan Yu was very angry and immediately led his army to chase. Wei Yanze led his army to fight and retreat, and retreated to the west city. Guan Yu led his army to attack the city, but he could not make progress until it was dark, so he had to stop the attack and the army retreated.

Guan Yu returned to Liu Bei, and said with a shameless look on his fist, "Brother, I am incompetent and failed to destroy the main force of the enemy, so that they retreated into the West City!" Liu Bei was very depressed, but he smiled and patted Guan Yu's arm, saying, "Chen Yun, don't blame yourself! The enemy's losses have become a frightened bird after this battle!" Guan Yu couldn't help but frown and said, "Although the enemy has suffered heavy losses, our army has also suffered a lot! Why are these guys so fierce and fearless?!"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's just a fight of trapped beasts! Don't care! Our army has won a big victory in today's battle!" Pang Tong nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Lord! Although he failed to wipe out the Qin army, they no longer pose a threat for the time being. You can seize Hanzhong!" Liu Bei nodded.
