Chapter 680: Chasing and Killing

Seeing that Zhang Weijun gave up the sneak attack, Xu Huang immediately let ten thousand flying bear cavalry out and chased Zhang Wei's army; and when the five thousand violent bears stationed on the west mountain heard the whistle, he immediately went down the mountain and surrounded Zhang Wei's army.

Zhang Wei did not expect that Xu Huang and Zhe Jun were so alert and had a very fast reaction speed. Although he retreated at the first time, facing Xu Huang's cavalry, how could these two legs run better than the four-legged war horse?

When Zhang Wei saw Xu Huang's iron cavalry chasing him, he did not hesitate and immediately left two thousand soldiers to block the army to cover the retreat. For Xu Huang's ten thousand flying bear iron cavalry, the two thousand infantry wanted to block the cavalry was actually a delusion. Besides, the infantry in a panic retreat did not even stand in formation, so Xu Huang's iron cavalry crushed him.

Under the dark night, Xu Huang led 10,000 flying bear cavalry to kill the two thousand Zhang Weijun. The sound of horse hooves trampled on the loess, and the sound was dull. A rumbling sound made the two thousand soldiers who were left were panicked.

Xu Huang sneered and ran wildly, piercing into the 2,000 infantry left by Zhang Wei like a sharp knife. Before the two thousand Zhang Wei soldiers were lined up, they were torn apart in an instant, and the hole was protruded. Xu Huang and the iron cavalry that followed rushed along the hole and crushed directly.

The infantry left behind by Zhang Wei was caught off guard by the violent wind and fire. They were caught off guard. Wherever they passed, they were all over the field; Xu Huang and the mountain-opening axe were chopping left and right, and they were invincible, and there was no general under his command.

The two thousand infantry left by Zhang Wei only blocked Xu Huang's cavalry, but could not achieve the purpose of blocking. Zhang Wei saw that Xu Huang's cavalry was about to chase him again, leaving five thousand troops to block the attack again, hoping to gain enough time for the army to retreat.

After Xu Huang led 10,000 Flying Bear Iron Cavalry to crush the infantry that 2,000 Zhang Wei blocked, he did not stop at all. The army chased and killed in the dark night. Ten thousand Flying Bear Iron Cavalry howled and rushed towards the team left by Zhang Wei who was standing in front of him. The Iron Cavalry was galloping in the howling north wind, without a trace of pause.

Xu Huang howled, holding up the mountain-leading axe high, rushing to the horse. Ten thousand flying bears and iron cavalry behind him were red-eyed, like a bloodthirsty wolf pack, crazily breaking into the Zhang Wei infantry formation that was in panic. Under the impact force brought by the horses, the heavy sabre quickly crushed the at a loss of Zhang Wei infantry. Rows of people rose into the sky, hot blood hitting the face, and there was still residual warmth.

Zhang Wei still has 13,000 infantry left, and Zhang Wei cannot control the soldiers behind him. Now Zhang Wei just wants to escape, and knows that staying for a little more will make you more dangerous. Now Zhang Wei truly realizes the strength of Xu Huang's army. The crushed iron cavalry is like a meat mixer, and the iron cavalry is full of corpses after it.

Just when Zhang Wei thought he could escape from the pursuit with his soldiers, the five thousand violent bear soldiers killed from the West Mountain crashed from the side into Zhang Wei's retreating army led by Gao Lan.

After a slash, the 20,000 infantry led by Zhang Wei was wiped out, and only Zhang Wei and hundreds of personal guards escaped from the pursuit. After the war, none of Xu Huang's army died, and only a few hundred soldiers were slightly injured.

The western mountain has been tightly blocked by Xu Huang's army. The mountain is under high alert and cannot even fly a bird. In the past few days after the victory of the night battle, Xu Huang was not immersed in the joy of victory. Xu Huang was commanding his soldiers to strengthen the camp. The improved stone-cattering tool that was turned from Guanzhong had been assembled to a high place. The condescending flying cannon attack was much stronger than the crossbow arrows.

Zhang Lu's generals knew the importance of Dingjun Mountain. Once this critical pass was lost, Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong County, would be no longer protected. The only thing Zhang Lu could do at that time was to surrender. Zhang Lu hoped to defend Hanzhong for the time being, and the idea of ​​cutting off the connection between Bashu and Guanzhong was simply impossible.

The clouds cleared and the fog dissipated, and the sun shone directly on the banner of Zhang Lujun. The sharp spear reflected a dazzling cold light. Under the leadership of Zhang Wei and other generals, the remaining 40,000 Zhang Lujun set up a formation along the Dingjun mountain pass and guarded the death. Zhang Lujun's left wing was facing the river, the right wing was blocked by the mountains, and behind it was a dangerous road to advance and retreat.

Xu Huang did not force the attack, but asked the catapult cart arranged on the top of the West Mountain to bomb Zhang Lu's army every day. The dense stones hit Zhang Lu's army fiercely under the throwing of the catapult cart. Every time, soldiers would be smashed to pieces, which made Zhang Lu's soldiers panic and frightened.

Gao Lan laughed and said, "General Xu, why don't you let me lead my troops and kill him forcibly."

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "No, let's suppress the other party's morale first. I guess Zhang Lu can't hold on for a few days."

Gao Lan smiled and said, "I wonder if that boy Jiang Gan can convince him?"

Xu Huang smiled and said, "Guo Huai has taken down Xicheng, Shangyong. In the face of powerful strength, Zhang Lu has no way out at this time. What else can he do besides surrender?"

Gao Lan said: "That boy Boji really didn't expect that he was faster than us. This guy would probably be snatched by this guy."

Xu Huang said: "You kid are jealous? You want to give young people more opportunities to exercise, so why not compete with young people? The lord said that as long as Yizhou is taken, we will immediately go overseas to conquer. That is the most enjoyable thing. I am afraid that you will not be able to kill you."

After hearing this, Gao Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Gongming, to be honest, I really envy Junyi and the others!"

As long as the generals under Lu Ning heard that they were expeditions to the outside world were absolutely excited; under Lu Ning's influence, the generals all felt that expeditions to the outside world were the real war, and the domestic suffrage was just a fight between brothers, and everyone wanted to open up the territory for the Han people.

Xu Huang said: "Don't worry! You are fighting. I heard that this time the lord convinced the Ministry of War and the Government to recruit 500,000 troops within a few years to conquer the outside world from two lines, one is to advance west from the grassland in the west; the other is to advance west from the sea. Now we should take Hanzhong and then take Yizhou, and then we can go overseas to conquer."

Gao Lan said: "Gongming, we should be able to win Yizhou within a year, right?"

Xu Huang nodded and said, "It is not a big problem to take down Yizhou, but I heard from the lord that the Southern Barbarians invaded; if it is really an invasion of the Southern Barbarians, it will not be a problem for one or two years, and it will probably take a long time to attack."

When formulating a combat plan, the General Staff Department of Lu Ning also considered the invasion of the Southern Barbarians. For Lu Ning, he knew very well that if the problems of the Southern Barbarians were not solved, there would be a big trouble one day; and the attack on the Southern Barbarians could not implement the Three Lights Policy like external conquests. After all, the Southern Barbarians are also Chinese nations, and they can only deter and appease them.

In history, when Zhuge Liang attacked the Southern Barbarians, it took several years to calm down. The Southern Barbarians problem was a complicated matter, and it might leave behind sequelae, which was also what Lu Ning was most worried about.
