Chapter 808 Zhang Song Surrenders

Most of the five thousand Yizhou soldiers were ready to move. Instead of dying inexplicably in battle, why not surrender to Liu Ye and go back to take care of the family?

The Army Sima on the side suddenly became anxious: "Zhang Zhizhi, the governor has entrusted Zhang with important responsibilities. Is Zhang Zhi going to live up to the expectations of the governor?"

"absurd!"

Zhang Song refuted: "The imperial court has great prestige, and the generals are good at fighting. However, Yizhou is trying to compete with the world with the power of a single state. This is like a mantis' arm acting like a chariot, and a cricket shaking a big tree. It is ridiculous to be overconfident!"

He waved his hand and pointed at the many soldiers and said: "All the soldiers in the army have young families. Why would Zhang Ren let everyone die together?"

The Army Sima was furious: "Well, Zhang Yongnian, you turned out to be harboring evil intentions. I will kill you, the traitor, on behalf of the Governor today!"

"you dare!"

Zhang Song was not afraid and shouted: "Left and right, drag this guy down and kill him!"

Zhang Song had already laid an ambush, and several of his close associates rushed forward. They dragged General Sima off his horse and pressed down on his shoulders. Army Sima suddenly made a thud and fell to his knees.

"Let me go, let me go!"

The army commander yelled and refused to give in, but a tall and round soldier had already stepped forward. He held a ring-headed knife in his hand, pointed it at the army commander's neck, and chopped it off with force.

"ah!"

Blood splashed on the ground, spreading out countless red dots. Army Sima's head fell to the ground with a thud, rolled around a few times and then stopped. His facial features were still angry, and his expression was completely frozen. You can see from his expression how angry he was before he was born.

Seeing Zhang Song killing people to establish his authority, the five thousand Yizhou soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and looked at Zhang Song with a little fear.

"You don't have to be afraid. This person is trying to prevent us from returning to the imperial court. He is a traitor, so I will kill him!"

Zhang Song said: "The whole army lines up and waits quietly for the arrival of General Wang Shi, and then surrenders. With his life saved, he can go back to see his wife and children at home."

After the five thousand Yizhou soldiers who were originally hesitant heard Zhang Song's words, they thought about their wives, children and children at home, and couldn't help but give up their resistance and stood there and resigned themselves to fate.

Zhang Song couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this. This could be regarded as a great contribution to the general, and he would be rewarded in the future!

The 5,000 Yizhou troops stood still without any resistance. About half an hour later, they saw vast smoke and dust in front of them, a black line appeared far away on the horizon, and the rumbling sound of kicking was like the roar of thunder. The Xiliang army in black clothes and armor fluttered their flags, and the sight was boundless.

Although they had seen the Xiliang army many times before, they were still frightened after seeing it this time. Many Yizhou soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting with such an army is no different from seeking death, right?

"You follow me forward and ask to see the general."

Zhang Song gave an order, and more than ten cavalry surrounded him and galloped towards the Xiliang army. There were more than ten thousand people in the Xiliang Army's vanguard. It was strange that they dared to rush forward when they saw only a dozen riders on the opposite side, so they hurriedly reported to the vanguard general Ma Teng.

"More than a dozen people? Is it possible that each of them is a warrior capable of defeating a thousand people? Humph."

Ma Teng said coldly: "Don't worry, let's see what they are going to do. Order the archers on the left and right of the forward to prepare. If the enemy dares to rush into the formation, shoot them into hedgehogs immediately!"

Ma Teng gave an order, and the archers in the forward army drew their bows and set arrows. There was a squeaking sound. More than ten riders beside Zhang Song couldn't help but sweat profusely. Even an iron man had to be pierced by thousands of arrows.

"Wait!"

Zhang Song's expression remained normal and he said calmly: "I am working for Zhang Song from Yizhou. I surrendered with five thousand soldiers and horses and asked to see the general for his honor."

"surrender?"

Ma Teng touched his chin: "Since there are only a dozen riders, he can naturally meet the general, but only he can go, and the others need to stay."

"It's natural."

More than ten cavalrymen around Zhang Song were left behind. The Xiliang army opened a passage at that time, and Ma Teng sent people to lead Zhang Song towards the central army.

The Xiliang army had a huge lineup, and even though there was a dedicated person leading the way, it took Zhang Song a full quarter of an hour to arrive in front of Liu Ye.

"The guilty minister Zhang Song, pays homage to the general."

"Hahaha, Yongnian please get up quickly, no need to be polite."

When Liu Ye saw Zhang Song arriving, he couldn't help laughing, jumped off his horse, walked forward, and helped him up personally.

"Thank you, General. Zhang appointed me to lead 5,000 troops to stop the general. However, they have been persuaded by me and are willing to switch sides and surrender to the general." Zhang Song said bluntly.

Liu Ye said with a smile on his face: "Very good. Although a certain person has great martial arts skills, he does not want to be killed more often. When Yongnian opened his mouth, he not only saved the lives of five thousand people, but each of them had wives, children, and children. This saved five thousand people." Thousands of households!”

For any family, men are very important. They may be sons, fathers or husbands. Once they die, a fragile family will often fall apart. Have you not seen that in the Soviet Union during World War II, the established legions were wiped out by the German army, and more young people were armed into the Soviet army. As a result, they never recovered after World War II, and the Russian population is still experiencing negative growth today.

Hearing Liu Ye's praise, Zhang Song couldn't help but be happy, and then he said: "Zhang Ren wanted to cooperate with the Chengdu garrison inside and outside to defeat Zhang Jia in one fell swoop, and then deal with the general, so I ordered you to lead the army to resist. Now I am afraid that the two armies We are already in the middle of a fight, so please ask the general to send his troops to rescue General Zhang immediately, otherwise if Zhang Ren really defeats Zhang Zhennan, the situation will be in serious danger."

"oh?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren had his wrist broken twice by a strong man. If he hadn't known Zhang Song's true nature, five thousand Yizhou troops would have really stopped and sniped the Xiliang army here, and Zhang Zha would have really fallen into a bitter battle.

"How long has it been since Zhang Ren led his army to leave?" Liu Ye asked.

"It's been more than half an hour."

In other words, Zhang Jia and Zhang Ren must have been at war. Liu Ye couldn't help but frown. In addition to Zhang Jia's troops, there were nearly 30,000 troops in the Chengdu city, and Zhang Jia's army was only 10,000 at full strength. Up and down, the Yizhou Army was three times the size of Zhang Jia's army. If they were to pursue and fight fiercely, even a famous general like Zhang Jia would be under a lot of pressure.

Without any time to think, Liu Ye unsheathed his sword and shouted loudly: "The rear army left five thousand people to guard the surrendered Yizhou Army. Ma Teng immediately led the vanguard to attack. We must defeat Zhang Ren."

"Army attack!"

Liu Ye gave an order, and in addition to the 5,000 people guarding the surrendered Yizhou Army, nearly 50,000 Xiliang Army came out in full force, like thick dark clouds rolling in, trying to drown everything in front of them.
