In Chang 'an, it rained heavily, which had not happened for months. Dong Zhuo was very upset. The unfavorable situation in the war and the secret counterattack of the aristocratic families in the imperial court had really affected his calmness. Several generals under him seemed to be too close to some ministers in the imperial court. Did they want to challenge his position? All of this was unpredictable and uncertain, but there was no evidence.
Hua Xiong's reinforcements had already advanced to Jia County, but they did not advance recklessly. This was because Lu Meng's army was staring at them like a tiger. Although the Western Liang Army had the advantage in numbers, Li Su's order was to not engage in a direct confrontation with Lu Meng's troops. As long as they could take down Cao Cao in Jia County, their tactical intention would be achieved. At that time, they could engage in a war of attrition with Lu Meng. Obviously, Zhang Fei could not afford to waste time.
Lu Meng asked Zhang Fei, who had just arrived at the camp, for instructions. Then, he approached Jia County overnight. Hua Xiong's troops had no choice but to remain vigilant and slow down their march. At this time, whether it was Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Cao Cao, or Zhao Yun, they all thought that Zhang Fei was going to rescue Jia County. Indeed, on the surface, it was true. However, if Zhang Fei was so capable, he wouldn't be called Zhang Fei. A rapid march was a risky and crazy thing. Not only did it test the ability of the soldiers, but it also tested the courage and patience of the leader. It was even more risky!
From the very beginning, Zhang Fei's tactical intentions were hidden very deeply. Other than Guan Yu and Zhang Feng, Lu Meng only found out later that he wanted to take down both Qingni Pass and Hangu Pass at the same time! This was Zhang Fei's true tactical intention and the reason why he did not resolve the siege of Jia County as soon as possible. At the same time, he wanted to take down Lu Bu and Hwa Xiong!
One day. In just one day, Zhang Fei led 15,000 soldiers to Hangu Pass. At this moment, the Western Liang army inside the pass did not expect Zhang Fei to attack Hangu Pass at this time. But what was even more unexpected was how Zhang Fei's 15,000 soldiers came to be. It turned out that since the day Zhang Fei picked up Lu Meng, Zhang Fei had been constantly exchanging Cang Ba's men with Lu Meng's Black Armored Army. All of this had escaped the eyes of Hwa Xiong and Lu Bu. Moreover, up until now, Lu Meng did not have a single Black Armored Soldier under his command. Other than Cang Ba's men, the rest of Lu Meng's men were Wang Lang's men. Although they were not many, it was enough to fool Lu Bu. Zhang Fei was certain that Lu Bu would not dare to challenge the strength of the Black Armored Army. Moreover, Hua Xiong had suffered a loss at his hands. As long as they could take down Hangu Pass in a day or two, with Hua Xiong's current speed, he would not be able to threaten the safety of Jia County. The day before, Guan Yu's battle at Qingni Pass had already begun. Now, Guan Yu, Zhang Feng, and Zhang Xiu had each occupied a part of the pass. They were attacking and defending each other at close quarters. In another day, Qingni Pass would be Guan Yu's!
After Zhang Fei lured Hua Xiong's men out of Hangu Pass, what he needed to do now was to take down Hangu Pass as soon as possible. This plan had already taken shape when Zang Ba surrendered.
"Now! We can only hope that Zilong can hold on until Hua Xiong arrives at Jia County. If we can't take Hanguan Pass, Cao Cao and Zilong will be in danger.”Zhang Fei frowned and said to his subordinates.
"Big brother! I'm afraid that Hangu Pass doesn't know that we're already at the gates. However, even if we launch a surprise attack, we'll still suffer a lot of losses.”Zhang Yun whispered to Zhang Fei.
"What are you afraid of? Let's kill our way in. The Xi Liang army is not enough for us!”Zhang Ji said casually. When Zhang Ping saw this, he went up and shouted,"Do you still think it's the time when you exterminate bandits? This was a war! You little bastard, how many times have I told you, but you're still like this!”
" I'm Little Bastard, you're Little Bastard's brother..." Zhang Ji said in a low voice, but Zhang Fei heard it. Some of the sergeants around him also heard it and laughed out loud. The Black Armored Army's military rules were very strict. Usually, they wouldn't let you laugh out loud in a meeting. However, this time, Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and smiled helplessly."Alright, alright, Little Five. Tonight, you and Zang Ba will lead the troops and pretend to be the Xi Liang army. The Xi Liang army still doesn't know that Zang Ba has joined us. When you enter the pass, don't just kill them.”
"Roger!" Zhang Ji grinned and saluted. Then, he winked at the sergeants, causing Zhang Ping's head to wrinkle like a snakeskin.
" Big brother, look at him..." Zhang Ping sighed helplessly. They were born from the same father. How could he be like this?
"Alright, alright, this is good too. He's not nervous and can be considered to have eased the atmosphere. We'll still have to see his performance at that time.”Zhang Fei said with a smile.
"Third brother, you will cover the rear today. There is no need to enter the pass. If we take Hangu Pass tonight, you will chase after Hua Xiong overnight and give them some pressure. I think we will take Hangu Pass tonight.”
"Zang Ba! It's up to you today." Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Zang Ba and said seriously. Normally, Zhang Fei wouldn't be so rash as to give him such a mission right after he accepted Zang Ba. However, Zhang Fei believed in Zang Hong's character. Zang Hong was a good man, and his elder brother would definitely not be too bad. The feeling that Zang Ba gave him these days was that he was a brave warrior. Therefore, Zhang Fei generously handed this mission to Zang Ba. This made Zang Ba excited for a while. Zhang Fei trusted Zang Ba and made Zang Ba convinced. More importantly, he had yet to make any contributions and urgently needed to consolidate his position with Zhang Fei. Therefore, he was determined to win Hangu Pass this time!
At night, Zhang Fei's army slowly approached Hangu Pass. In order to make things look more realistic, Zhang Fei had Zang Ba and the others make a lot of noise. When the soldiers at the pass saw a group of people suddenly arrive, they asked loudly,"Which army are you from? Report your name!"
"Yongning Defender General Zang Ba has led his troops to escape the siege and is now seeking refuge with General Hua!”Zang Ba said in an official tone.
"A defeated general who abandoned the city still dares to return!”One of the generals shouted.
"Bullsh * t!" " It's not just anyone," Zhang Ji said." My brothers and I have been risking our lives outside and have finally escaped from the Heavenly Arrival State, but you bunch of turtles who are hiding in your cage are making sarcastic remarks. Damn it, let General Hua speak out. I don't believe that a young general on night duty can be so arrogant!”
"How is it?" Zhang Ji whispered to Zang Ba. Zang Ba smiled and gave Zhang Ji a thumbs-up. He thought to himself, This young brother of the Zhang family is really something!
"Let's see how they talk!" Zang Ba also whispered to Zhang Ji. Actually, after Zhang Ji said that, the general on the city wall panicked and immediately said to the people below,"General Hua has gone to reinforce General Lu Bu. If you want to join him, you must hurry to Jia County!”
"Bullshit! My brothers haven't eaten for two days. How can they have the strength to travel so far? Open the door and let us eat something and rest for a while!”Zang Ba said in a dignified manner.
"The higher-ups have orders! "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the pass at will. Moreover, it's a night ban now. This..." The young general said with some difficulty.
"Motherf * cker! Are soldiers like us outsiders? If you don't open the door, I'll bring these brothers to join the Guandong Army!”Zhang Ji shouted loudly. This move frightened the general above. He hurriedly said,"Don't be anxious! I'll come down and open the door!" Zhang Ji threw a look at Zang Ba. Zang Ba understood and lowered his head. Zhang Ji made two hand gestures behind his back. One was to keep quiet, and the other was to attack!
The moment the door opened, Zhang Ji, who was usually cheerful, was extremely nervous. He was a little breathless, excited, and anxious. However, when the middle door opened, his mind calmed down again. He had already discussed with a few of the squad leaders who were skilled in martial arts. After they rushed into the city, they would specially take out those who had tassels on their helmets. This was because they were officers. After those soldiers died, would they still be afraid of the Western Liang army showing off?
"General, please calm down! General, please calm down! General, please enter the city!" The young general said submissively.
"Humph!" Zang Ba snorted coldly, then led his five thousand men and slowly walked inside. When they were still a few steps away, Zhang Ji shouted," Don't kill the thieves now! When will you wait?" As he spoke, a person charged in with a snake spear. Before the general could figure out what was going on, he was stabbed into a hole by Zhang Ji!
"Don't just stand there, charge in and kill the officials you see!”Zhang Ji's voice was extremely loud. Everyone in the pass could hear the kid's roar. After Zhang Fei heard it, he waved his hand and roared,"Attack!"”
As he spoke, the 8,000 soldiers from the central army pressed forward and stunned the Western Liang army. As it was night, it was unknown how many soldiers Zhang Fei had brought with him. At this time, most of the Western Liang army was still sleeping. Some generals came out to organize defense when they saw the movement, but they were quickly stabbed into meat paste by Zang Ba and Zhang Ji. After they pushed into the Western Liang army's camp, Zhang Ji went to kill them and ordered his subordinates to do two big jobs. The camp was set ablaze. At this moment, Zhang Fei's central army came up. Zhang Ji shouted," East Vanquishing General Zhang Fei is here! Those who surrender will be spared!" These words... They were really f * cking skilled. The current Western Liang army was f * cking agnophobic and blackphobic. When they heard about Zhang Fei and his Black Armored Army, the Western Liang army felt a chill down their spines. The invincible Western Liang army had turned into soft-shelled eggs when it came to Zhang Fei.
No one knew when the Western Liang army had started to blow up the camp, but it was just an explosion.”That was the way it was. The entire camp of Western Liang soldiers was kneeling on the ground. What was it for? He surrendered! This scene made Zang Ba and Zhang Ji, the two Vanguard players, dumbfounded. What was going on? They hadn't even started fighting properly yet? Why did he surrender? No matter how weak Western Liang was, they would not surrender like this. Later on, they found out that the camp that Zhang Ji had charged into was actually the camp of the Western Liang army's general. It just so happened that he had picked a fight. As the saying goes, a snake cannot run without a head. This left the Western Liang army with no choice but to surrender.
This made Zhang Fei feel that it was heaven's will. Who knew?
