The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 386 Sneak Attack on Hanzhong
Hanzhong is located in the west section of Qinba Mountains, with Qinling Mountains in the north and Bashan Mountains in the south. Hanzhong County is located between the two mountains, forming a unique basin.

Its territory is densely covered with rivers, numerous large and small rivers originate from the mountains, and the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, the Han River, runs through it from east to west. The natural climate is suitable, and it has been a natural granary since ancient times.

"Zhang Lu, styled Gongqi, was originally from Peiguofeng County. He was the grandson of Zhang Ling, the tenth grandson of Liuhou Zhang Liang. After Zhang Ling died, his father Zhang Heng succeeded. Zhang Heng died, and Zhang Lu Ji was the leader. Shaorong, with ghost ways, went to and from Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan's house. Because of this, he gained trust." Ma Chao on the side was reading with relish the little book Huo Yu threw to him.

In Youzhou at this time, after the improvement of papermaking technology, the bamboo slips had been replaced with more convenient and lightweight paper. The notebook was a novelty invented by Huo Yu.

"In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan appointed him as the governor and Sima, and together with the other Sima Zhang Xiu led troops to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong. After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu and captured his soldiers."

"Hahaha"

"My lord, why are you laughing?" Huo Yu's laughter interrupted Ma Chao.

"This Marquis laughs at Zhang Lu who has done such inhumane things after claiming to be Marquis Liu, so shameless!"

"Kill Zhang Xiu and betray Liu Yan." Ma Chao felt that his brain could not keep up.

"Meng Qi, read more books, read good books, and you will definitely do something in the future!" For Ma Chao, who doesn't like reading very much, after reading the information on Zhang Lu collected by Dark Feather Guards, he is a bit overwhelmed.

Ma Chao, who was teased by Huo Yu, was speechless. If he followed his previous personality, it might not be so simple. Who made Huo Yu his own master? Besides, he couldn’t beat him. .

So, just when Huo Yu was about to preach again, Ma Chao imitated Zhao Yun.

"Uh, Fengxiao."

"Jia Nei is urgent!" Huo Yu just opened his mouth, and Guo Jia also picked up the opportunity and slipped away.

"Benhou is very long-winded?" Huo Yu muttered to himself.

"It's not only long-winded, it's very similar to Tang Sanzang!" Guo Jia's voice came from afar.

Huo Yu's subordinates have heard the story of Tang Sanzang many times, but this Tang monk is not that Tang monk, and the guards around looked at Huo Yu with expressions that you know but dared not laugh out loud.

"Hey, you can't live by doing your own crimes." Huo Yu had already begun to regret instilling too many modern ideas in the people around him.

This time Huo Yu attacked Hanzhong, he took Ziwu Valley. Although this method was a bit risky, it was better than storming Yangping Pass.Fortunately, Zhang Lu didn't expect the Youzhou Army to appear in the border of Hanzhong at all.

In Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, the soldiers who defended the city lazily leaned against the city wall, unaware that the war was coming.According to the plan formulated by the military department, the first step is to capture Nanzheng, and then capture Chenggu, Shangyong, Baozhong and other places.

According to the deployment before the war, Liao Hua led the Tianyu Guards and entered the city in disguise.Once he figured out the situation in the city, he changed back to waiting for an opportunity to seize the city gate and welcome Huo Yu's army into the city.

It stands to reason that the defenders in Hanzhong County are not strong, and it would not be difficult for Youzhou's army to attack.But Huo Yu didn't want to waste too much time here, quickly controlling Hanzhong, and then the commander-in-chief rushed to Shangyong was the top priority of this trip.

"General, I have figured out all the deployments in the city!" In an unremarkable courtyard in the north of the city, a few core generals were reporting the latest military situation to Liao Hua.

"Zhang Luke is in the prefect's mansion?" For Liao Hua, he was most concerned about whether he could catch Zhang Lu.

"Multiple inquiries, Zhang Lu is still in the mansion!"

"That's good! Send someone to send a message to the lord, and do it at midnight!"

"promise!"

The night is dark and the wind is high and the murderous night, the sky tonight is especially beautiful.The Tianyu Guards had already started heading towards the north gate in groups of three or four.

Dressed in night clothes, they move nimbly, and this is the only army in this era that has been trained to fight at night professionally.Compared with the night training of the Youzhou Army, the night battles of other princes are nothing.

"Hoo!" A sharp arrow cut through the night and headed for the target!

"Pfft!" The sound of meat piercing came, and a soldier from Hanzhong County lost his life just like that.

A massacre in the night began, and within less than half a stick of incense, the entire North Gate had changed hands, and a bright lantern slowly rose above Chengtou.

"Boys, kill!" As the lantern was raised, Huo Yu, who had been preparing for a long time, raised his gun and shouted.

"Zhang Lu dies!" shouted Ma Chao who was on the side and was the first to rush out.

"This Ma Mengqi!" Huo Yu shook his head helplessly and rode his horse slowly.

With the combat power of the soldiers of Hanzhong County, of course, Huo Yu's interest is not aroused. Naturally, such a battle should be commanded by the generals and schools at the grassroots level.

As the north city gate opened wide, the shouts of killing gradually spread, and the people who were awakened panicked, and subconsciously asked them to consciously resist the door of their own house, for fear of random soldiers entering.

Some daring people sneaked through the cracks of the door and trembled when they saw such a magic soldier with the faint firelight.But soon, the soldier shouted something loudly.

In the prefect's mansion, Zhang Lu, who had worked so hard on his concubine for a long time, was awakened just as he fell asleep.

"What's going on? Come here!" Zhang Lu shouted angrily.

"Master Taishou, it's not good and the rebels rushed into the city!" A guard rushed into the room in a hurry, and after finishing speaking, he took a few glances at the concubine next to Zhang Lu with the faint light of the fire.

"Rebellious soldiers? Why are there rebellious soldiers!" Zhang Lu asked loudly while putting on clothes indiscriminately.

"Reporter North Gate North Gate"

"How about the North Gate?" But Zhang Lu found that it was useless to ask. The county soldier who had just reported had fallen to the ground, and it was obvious that he was breathing more and breathing less.

"Come on! Find out quickly, gather your guards and follow me to the north gate!"

Just when Zhang Lu assembled his guards and stepped out of the mansion, he found that there was already a group of men in black waiting outside the door.It's a pity that Zhang Lu and others have never fought against the Youzhou Army, so naturally they can't see this formation.

"Hmph, this group of people wants to block the prefect, hahaha!" Facing the strange formation, Zhang Lu didn't even think about it.

With the iron sword out of its sheath, Oemon shouted and killed him.The next moment Zhang Lu was stunned by the battle in front of him.This group of men in black advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the personal guards he had chosen from thousands of people could not get close to him at all, and instead killed and injured a lot.

"How is this possible?" Of course Zhang Lu knew the strength of his personal guard, but he was so vulnerable to the battle formation of men in black in front of him.

"Zhang Lu suffers! Zhang Lu suffers!"

The shouts in the distance were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Lu, who heard everything clearly, suddenly felt cold sweat running down his back.On the territory of Hanzhong, how can there be such a powerful force? Even Liu Yan, who is far away in Sichuan and Shu, does not have such combat power.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Zhang Lu is to die!" Before everyone could answer, a shout came from afar.

"Tat-tat-tat!" The rapid sound of horseshoes approached from far away.

In the night, Zhang Lu felt a strange cold light coming.Mingming wanted to move in his heart, but his body was still unable to move.

"Ah!" There was a scream, and the iron spear thrown by Ma Chao pierced Zhang Lu's fat body.

Zhang Lu's death can only be described as "death without eyes". From the beginning to the end, the teachers of the Five Dou Rice Sect did not know who killed them.
