Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Zhang Wei guarded the exit of Meridian Road with 3000 men, which lasted for more than half a month, and there were only a thousand or so remnants.

Moreover, among the thousand or so people, almost everyone was injured. Not only was their morale low, but they were also exhausted and could no longer fight.

"General Zhang, what can we do for the current plan?" The Sima from another department who came for reinforcements asked Zhang Wei, not daring to make a decision.

Zhang Wei knew that the Ziwu Road must not be lost, he glanced behind him, the soldiers were supporting each other, looking tired, he wanted to fight back, but knowing this state, without the advantage of the location, he would die if he went back.

"Our army is no longer able to fight and needs to be repaired. There is only a small town of Shiquan nearby. Let's go there to repair for a day."

Biebu Sima naturally agreed, and he followed Zhang Wei back along the road. On the way, he listened to Zhang Wei describe the battle situation during this period.

Although Zhang Wei lost more than [-] people, he also killed more than [-] enemies. The record is still there, but the number of enemies is too large.

The small city of Shiquan, on the north bank of the Han River, is very close to the Han River. It is built among the mountains. The city is not big, and there is no moat outside the city.

During Zhang Wei's escape, Liu Zhang's party did not send troops to chase after them. They continued to guard the Ziwu Road, and the soldiers in the road could walk out safely.

In two days, [-] soldiers entered Hanzhong through the Meridian Road.

As a pioneer, Zhang Qin found Orion nearby as a guide, and then moved on.

To the east is the three counties of the East, covered by mountains, it is difficult to attack; to go forward, you have to cross the Han River, and to the west, you can go up the Han River and go straight to Nanzheng, the prefecture of Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Qin to go west and up the Han River, and soon they arrived at the small town of Shiquan.

This small city lies across the road, if it is not breached, the grain road will not be safe.

Zhang Qinyi's two thousand vanguard troops rushed to the foot of Shiquan City and ordered a battle.

When Zhang Wei arrived in Shiquan City, he had just rested for two days. His soldiers rested and ate in the city, and their physical strength also recovered. Some soldiers who were slightly injured were able to continue fighting.

He only needs to repair for a few more days, and he can recover a lot of combat power, but suddenly there is a report that there are enemy troops outside the city.

Zhang Wei could only put on his armor and climb up the tower.

Just when he climbed the tower, he happened to see Zhang Qin attacking the city.

Because the mountain roads were difficult to walk, Zhang Qin's vanguard army did not carry ladders, catapults and other siege equipment. They just felled trees outside the city and temporarily made [-] long ladders.

Fortunately, there is no moat in the small city of Shiquan, and the city wall is only one foot and three feet. Zhang Qinyi attacked the city and was blocked by Zhang Wei.

Another day later, Liu Zhang came with the main force of the Chinese army. He ordered a thousand sunset archers to suppress it, and a thousand wind shield guards as the vanguard to attack the city. It took only three hours, Shiquan city was broken, and Zhang Wei was captured.

Once Shiquan City was broken, Hanzhong still had many passes, but there were no soldiers to defend.

Liu Zhang discussed with the people, and when Zhang Lu didn't know that Zhang Wei was defeated, he immediately marched westward along the Han River.

There are many passes along the way, the most pass, there are only 50 people guarding it, at least there are only a few people, Liu Zhang's army is unimpeded, and within five days, it appears outside the east gate of Nanzheng.

All the city passes along the Han River fell into the hands of Liu Zhang. He sent soldiers to garrison along the way, and food from the rear kept coming.

Liu Zhang camped ten li to the east of Nanzheng, and spent days on the road and fighting. The soldiers were exhausted, and the city was in front of them, so they were not in a hurry to attack.

He planned to rest for two days before attacking the city.During the two days of recuperation, he had to do three things. The first thing was to send people into the city to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender; the second thing was to assemble catapults, make long ladders and other siege equipment; Explore.

This Baozhong is a city at the exit of Baoxie Road. As long as Baozhong is still there, it will be difficult for Liu Chang's 5000 people to invade the Hanzhong Plain.

Liu Zhang's army camped outside Nanzheng City, and the defenders on the Nanzheng City Wall immediately reported to the Taishou's Mansion and intercepted Liu Zhang's messenger.

They brought Liu Zhang's messenger to Zhang Lu.

In the prefect's mansion in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu, Yan Pu, and Yang Song received the messenger.

When the messenger saw Zhang Lu, he directly handed over Liu Zhang's letter of persuasion to surrender. Zhang Lu was furious after reading it, drove the messenger out, and said bluntly that he would never surrender.

He asked Yu Yanpu and Yang Song about his plans, but Nanzheng City only had [-] soldiers, and Yan Pu suggested conscripting the young and strong in the city to help defend the city.

Zhang Lu couldn't think of any other way, so he could only use it.

When Liu Zhang camped outside the city, the messenger returned and told Liu Zhang that Zhang Lu refused to surrender. Liu Zhang was furious.

He didn't expect that he would dare not surrender even when he was fighting in front of Zhang Lu.

Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Qin, Xu Lai, and Luo Fu to lead a thousand men each, block the north, west, and south gates of Nanzheng City, and intercept and kill the reinforcements.

At the same time, he sent Yan Xing and Xue Yong to lead an army of [-] troops to attack Baozhong.

Yang Ren guarded Baoxie Road and resisted Liu Chang. With the [-] reinforcements sent by Nanzheng later, he still had [-] troops.

It’s just that among the 2000 people, most of them were stationed at the exit of Baoxie Road, guarding day and night to prevent enemy sneak attacks. The city behind him had less than 500 defenders.

The defenders in the city are mostly wounded soldiers with extremely low combat power.

Yan Xing and Xue Yong made a surprise attack, but Baozhong didn't react, and they were easily broken by them.

They controlled the city, closed the city gate, and sent troops to search for Zhang Lu's soldiers in the city.

Baozhong City was Yang Ren's rear area, and food, grass and military equipment were all in the city. Every two days, there would be a transport team to deliver supplies to the front line, but when Yang Ren found out that the transport team hadn't arrived, he immediately sent someone to remind him.

When he sent three waves of people and found that no transport team came, he guessed that something must have happened behind.

Yan Xing and Xue Yong paused in the praise for several days, and Yang Ren's more than a thousand people on the front line began to starve.

Liu Chang was in the Bao ramp, but he didn't know what happened to Yang Ren. He still sent people to attack the exit of the Bao ramp every day, and gradually found that the enemy's combat power had weakened.

On the fifth day, Xue Yong led [-] troops and attacked from the rear. Yang Ren's army could not resist.

In just an hour, Yang Ren was killed and the army surrendered.

Liu Chang immediately broke through the Bao ramp, and the army entered Baozhong.

One day later, more than [-] people from Liu Zhang appeared in the north of Nanzheng City.

At that time, Liu Zhang had ordered the army to attack the city for two days.

As the governing place of Hanzhong, Nanzheng has been established for more than [-] years, and the city is large.There is a moat outside the city, and the city wall is more than two feet long, so it is difficult to attack easily.

However, when Yang Ren's head was hung outside the north gate by the enemy, Nanzheng City finally panicked.

There are ten thousand troops outside the east gate, and there are more than ten thousand troops outside the north gate, but Nanzheng City has only a thousand defenders, more than a thousand young and strong.

The letters of persuasion every day were shot into the city by arrows, and the people in the city were panicked. Although Zhang Lu left benevolence in the hearts of the people, the wealthy families in the city had different ideas.

They finally found a chance to break into the prefect's mansion, captured Zhang Lu, and then opened the city gate to surrender.

Liu Zhang didn't want to kill too much, he just killed Zhang Lu and Yan Pu and Yang Song who were loyal to him, and punished the rest appropriately.

It took one and a half months, Liu Zhang mobilized 5000 people, and Yizhou 2 people to capture Hanzhong.
