The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40 The Death of Han Dang
Han Dang's death accompanied the collective retreat of Wu Jun's soldiers, which also announced the end of Lan Shang's decisive battle. The hero Liu Bei finally won this decisive battle, even though he himself put his life behind his head and stepped into the battlefield. The soldiers of the Zhanhan Army suffered countless casualties, but all this was diluted by the victory.

Han Dang withdrew the commander-in-chief flag, and sent his confidants to continue to retreat with the flag, while he rushed to the battlefield.When Wuxi barbarians saw that Wu Jun had actually retreated, they were full of fighting spirit and started chasing Wu Jun again.

Han Dang led the soldiers to block Zhang Fei's front army first, and gave his central army a chance to retreat; after Zhou Tai and Sun Heng saw the soldiers coming, they saw that Han Dang's commander-in-chief had gradually withdrawn from the battlefield. When the military orders given before led the Chinese army to retreat, they also showed respect to the troops who came to Duanhou, and everyone knew that they would not be able to withdraw.

Zhang Fei was fighting vigorously at this time, and when he saw Wu Jun retreating, he began to chase and kill angrily, but he met the dead soldiers led by Han Dang. When a person has abandoned everything, death may also be a kind of relief for him. The fish scales led by Han Dang also abandoned everything at this time, only fighting for loyalty, and the governor Han Dang was holding the battle for them. At this time, they used their flesh and blood to resist the crazy impact of the Han army.

For nearly a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers of the Wu army on the battlefield withdrew from the battlefield, and only the two thousand dead soldiers led by Han Dang were still stubbornly resisting, and they had no intention of retreating; At this time, Liu Bei ordered to stop the attack, and the drums of truce immediately resounded throughout the battlefield.

Han Dang saw that the soldiers of the Han army stopped attacking, so he sat down without hesitation; "General Yi, you are willing to surrender at this time." It turned out that Liu Bei recognized that the leading general of this army was Han Dang. , It was also a surprise before ordering to stop the attack.

"Liu Xuande, you are so admirable in this battle. I didn't expect that I would also see you who fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass in the past, and now you, who is already a prince of one side and over [-] years old, stepped into the battlefield again; but I, Han Dang is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Han Dang stood up and raised the broken knife that had no idea how many gaps there were. On his neck, blood splattered all of a sudden, spilling into the sky.

"General Yi, let's go!" Liu Bei also shouted, which was mixed with sadness, regret and joy.

Seeing that their general had committed suicide, the remaining hundred or so people took up their swords with grief and indignation, and rushed to the Han army resolutely.

At this moment, it seemed that the heavens were also moved by Han Dang's loyalty, and the sky that had been gloomy also poured down a heavy rain to wash away the blood on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I have a word. I don't know if Your Majesty has sent General Zhang Yi to lead the rear army to the back of the Wu army to block the Wu army's retreat." The moment Zhuge Qiao saw Han Dang committing suicide, he also had a plan in his heart. .

"Bo Song, how did you know?" Liu Bei was also surprised!
"Your Majesty, I have a plan for Xiaoting City." Zhuge Qiao didn't answer Liu Bei's question.

"What plan!" Liu Beihu stared at Zhuge Qiao

"Your Majesty, now that Han Dang is dead, we can carry Han Dang's body up, summon the cavalry to put on the uniforms of Wu soldiers and go straight to Xiaoting, and open the city gate by fraud. Come, we will be able to capture Xiaoting City."

"This plan is too dangerous, and our army only brought more than [-] cavalry out of Sichuan this time, and now there are more than [-] cavalry left."

"If there are more than one thousand cavalry, the Wu army will see through it, but three hundred cavalry are enough."

"What if Zhang Yi fails to completely stop the Wu army and allows the Wu army to break through?" Liu Bei still disagrees with this risky approach.

"Even if General Zhang Yi can't stop the remnants of the Wu army, he can stop them for a while. This period of time is enough for the cavalry. Your Majesty's fighter plane is fleeting, please make a quick decision."

Liu Bei was also taken aback by Zhuge Qiao at this time. He was shocked that a young man who was only 17 years old could have such an understanding, "Zhuge Qiao obeys orders"

"the end will be"

"I ordered you to lead the three hundred Imperial Forest Army to capture Xiaoting."

"lead"

"Chen Dao, you also go with Zhuge Qiao and listen to his command." Liu Bei was a little worried, or he was afraid that Zhuge Qiao would die in Xiaoting, which would cause him to lose a rare good general.

"Your Majesty, when General Chen leaves, who will protect your safety?" Zhuge Qiao saw that Liu Bei had sent Chen Dao to him.

"Zhen, and the Imperial Forest Army is by my side, hurry up and go!"

Zhuge Qiao saw that Liu Bei was resolute and did not hesitate. He immediately changed into the uniform of the Wu army, and led the [-] Yulin soldiers to carry Han Dang's body and headed straight for Xiaoting. Liu Bei also watched Zhuge Qiao off.

"The army rises" With Liu Bei's order, the drums of the Han army once again resounded throughout the battlefield.

The torrential summer rain, like a mighty army, swept across the entire area of ​​Xiaoting; but the remnants of the Wu army did not stop at all, and ran straight to Xiaoting, the home in their hearts at the moment; but waiting for them was not the tower of Xiaoting. It is the arrow of the Han army, falling from the sky like a torrential rain.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, a large number of Han troops have been found ahead, blocking the way back; due to the heavy rain, the number cannot be estimated, but at least it is more than [-]." A small school came from the former army to report to Zhou Tai, and Zhou Tai was also taken aback; When I was thinking about countermeasures, I was suddenly surprised

"Why don't you report to the left governor, but report the battle situation to me?"

Seeing that Zhou Tai had already noticed something, the junior officer said, "Commander Zuo,,, Commander Zuo is in the army that was just cut off." After saying this sentence, the junior officer burst into tears.

Zhou Tai couldn't speak for a long time, because he knew what it meant to be broken;
"Why don't we go back and save Captain Zuo?" Sun Heng was also angry at the moment, and was about to lead the army away, but Zhou Tai caught him, "We can't let Captain Zuo's blood flow in vain, we have to go back alive."

"The whole army listens to the order: kill, kill!" Zhou Tai raised his head to the sky and screamed.

In fact, before the battle between the two armies, Zhang Yi led the army to go around to the rear of the Wu army according to Liu Bei's arrangement, and blocked the retreat of the Wu army. It also shows Liu Bei's courage and heroic temperament, "Who is the hero of the world?"Cao Liu's words are true; after Zhang Yi arrived at the predetermined position, he began to arrange an army formation to prevent the retreating troops of the Wu army, and his weapons were mainly bows and arrows.

At this moment, a cavalry of the Wu army suddenly rushed out from the flanks, and the one at the head immediately raised the banner of the Yulin Army of the Shu Han Dynasty to avoid Zhang Yi's arrows. Coming towards the Chinese Army"

"how many people"

"Less than five hundred"

"Let them come here, call the pikemen over here to prevent the enemy cavalry from sneaking in." Zhang Yi made a decisive decision. After all, not everyone dared to fly the banner of the Imperial Forest Army.

The Wu army was also stunned by the scene in front of them. They couldn't believe that their own army ran to surrender to the enemy holding the opponent's flag. No matter what they thought, Zhuge Qiao laughed. He didn't waste a single soldier. One pawn passed through the Wu army's formation.

"General Zhang, I am Chen Dao of the Imperial Forest Army." Chen Dao shouted as he approached the Han army, Zhang Yi also recognized the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

"General Chen, does Your Majesty have any new orders?" Zhang Yi saw Chen Dao coming in person.

"General Zhang, His Majesty's will is that no single soldier can break through your formation," he said.He continued to rush towards Xiaoting non-stop, leaving Zhang Yi with a puzzled look on his face.
