Chapter 809 Zhang Renlai Also

After handing over the important task of sniping the enemy to Zhang Song, Zhang Ren led 15,000 troops towards Chengdu without saying a word, and the messenger he sent entered Chengdu first.

"My lord, my lord!"

Wang Lei shouted excitedly and ran into the hall, panting and looking excited.

"My lord, the governor's envoy is back. My lord, come quickly."

When Liu Zhang heard Wang Lei's voice, he looked up and couldn't help but look overjoyed.

"The Governor's envoy is back? This is great!"

Liu Zhang stood up excitedly, walked forward in person, walked less than five steps in front of the envoy, and said excitedly: "Where are the governor's troops? What did he say?"

"My lord, the Grand Governor's army will arrive at the gates of Chengdu soon. They will launch a fierce attack on the enemy forces later. Please take charge of the garrison in the city immediately, and join forces with the Grand Governor later to attack the enemy forces outside the city first."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and Huang Quan on the side suddenly said: "Wait a minute, after the governor gave up the sword pavilion, did the Xiliang army follow closely behind? Where is the Xiliang army now?"

The envoy replied: "The Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured. He has set up an ambush in the middle of the road to attack the Xiliang Army. If there is no accident, the Xiliang Army will not be able to arrive within half a day. The Commander-in-Chief, please take advantage of this opportunity to attack from both inside and outside." The enemy must not lose this opportunity."

"The Xiliang army is only half a day away? This."

Liu Zhang couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and he became suspicious. What if the enemy army was not eliminated within half a day and the Xiliang army arrived?

Huang Quan on the side was as careful as a hair and saw Liu Zhang's doubts. He immediately bent down and said sincerely: "My lord, our army and the governor are attacking from inside and outside. We have a huge advantage. It is not difficult to defeat the enemy army in half a day. If not, If we send out troops, all the enemy troops will arrive in half a day, and our troops will be trapped in the city of Chengdu, and we will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death. We must not miss such a good opportunity."

Wang Lei also tried hard to persuade: "Yes, my lord, what the governor and Huang Biejia said is absolutely true. Attacking from both inside and outside is a good way to defeat the enemy. At this moment, our army has the advantage, so we should naturally send troops. Otherwise, when the enemy army converges, we will The army just missed the opportunity."

Seeing Huang Quan and Wang Lei trying so hard to persuade him, Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll order the city defenders to assemble. When the Grand Governor's army arrives later, our army will open the city gates and attack, both inside and outside, to attack the enemy!" "

"My lord, I'll see you soon, my subordinates will go and get ready."

Huang Quan was overjoyed when he heard this. He rushed out of the meeting hall and went to the city to prepare his troops. Although Huang Quan was the highest-ranking official in the civil service system of the state, he was actually proficient in the art of war. He was very successful in Liu Bei's battle against Wu. He once led the army alone. Later, the Shu army was burned by Lu Xun and he cried for his father and mother. Huang Quan had no choice but to surrender to Cao Wei.

"The soldiers and horses in the city must gather at the south gate!"

Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city gathered at the south gate, ready to go.

Huang Quan, Liu Zhang, Wang Lei and others boarded the south gate tower and watched the situation outside the city.

There was little movement in the Xiliang army. Huang Quan suppressed the idea of ​​sending troops directly and waited quietly. Liu Zhang beside him was a little uneasy, looking at the Xiliang Army camp outside the city, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Time passed bit by bit, and Liu Zhang became more and more uneasy. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the east of Chengdu, and a piece of sand and dust suddenly floated on the ground, and among the dust, There were countless dark shadows hidden in it. As the shadows gradually approached, they turned from small black dots into powerful warriors, raising the flag high with each stroke.

"It's the Grand Governor!" Wang Lei said in surprise.

"Huh!" Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then clenched his fists, hoping that the Governor would live up to his heavy responsibility.

Zhang Ren's 15,000-strong army finally arrived. His first reaction was not to look at the Xiliang military camp, but at the top of the city. When he saw layers of human heads standing on top of the city, he couldn't help but relax. One breath.

The key to this battle is not the Xiliang army, but the city defenders. Although Zhang Ren's men are elite, they only have 15,000 men. They cannot form an absolute advantage against Zhang Jia. Therefore, the city defenders must cooperate with Zhang Ren's army internally and externally to win. .

Seeing that the top of the city was heavily guarded, it could be seen that the defenders in the city were ready and could send troops at any time. This made Zhang Ren feel relieved.

"My sons! The defenders in the city are ready and can join our army to attack the enemy at any time!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly: "This battle must be won in one fight, and we will encourage each other."

"We must win, we must win!"

Fifteen thousand Yizhou troops have been trained by Zhang Ren all year round. They are all elite men. After hearing Zhang Ren's voice, they all shouted in unison, and then gathered into a dense battle formation and headed towards the Xiliang military camp. Rush away.

There were so many Yizhou troops all over the city, but more than 10,000 troops outside the city launched a charge, and Zhang Jia naturally reacted.

"General, a large group of enemy troops are coming, with banners and banners."

"Putting up a banner?"

Zhang Jia frowned. There were only a handful of generals named Zhang in the Yizhou Army. Could it be?

"Zhang Zhennan, if nothing else happens, the leader of the army should be Zhang Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army." Meng Da on the side said directly.

"Well, you and I will go up to the village and watch."

Zhang Zha, Meng Da and other generals and majors from the army boarded the stockade and watched the Yizhou Army threatening them in the distance with a fierce momentum. They were obviously preparing to launch a fierce attack on the Xiliang Army.

"Zhang Zhennan, the enemy army is coming fiercely. I'm afraid the attackers are not malicious. Our army should prepare early."

He opened his jaw and nodded. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the city of Chengdu, and suddenly frowned. At this moment, the top of the city is densely packed with defenders, and they are obviously well prepared. The enemy troops in the city will definitely not be able to just watch, and will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to attack from inside and outside. In this way, the Xiliang Army will naturally be The pressure doubles.

"It's strange. Isn't Zhang Ren in Jiange? Why did he suddenly appear under the city of Chengdu? Could it be..."

There are only two possibilities at this moment. One is that Zhang Ren voluntarily abandoned the sword pavilion and led his troops south. The other possibility is that he left part of his troops to guard the sword pavilion and then led the army south, preparing to destroy his own part first.

If it's the first possibility, then the main force of the Xiliang Army led by the general will definitely follow, and they just need to hold on. If it's the second possibility, that would be terrible.

"Soldiers! Zhang Ren abandoned the sword pavilion, and the general is chasing after him. He is behind him. As long as our army holds on, reinforcements will surely arrive!"

Hearing Zhang Jia's words, the nearly ten thousand Xiliang troops couldn't help but feel boosted in morale, and they all raised their arms and shouted.
