Volume 2 Clouds Chapter 18: The whole country is in shock
Zhang Qiong's weapons are two golden hammers, which are different from the big hammers bigger than the heads of Li Yuanba and Pei Yuanqing in Luo Youdu's impression on TV. They are small hammers that are about the same length as a sword and about the size of a fist. With his fat body, it looks like he is holding two hammers, which is quite funny and not majestic at all.
However, these two "small hammers" have terrifying power in Zhang Qiong's hands.
He struck left and right with his hammers like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Anyone who was hit by his hammer would instantly lose his combat effectiveness.
It was the first time that Luo Youdu saw Zhang Qiong display his strength. He was filled with surprise and couldn't help but exclaim: "E Lai and Dian Wei are no better than this!"
Now he had no idea how powerful Zhang Qiong and his double hammers were on the battlefield.
The hammer can be said to be one of the most invincible weapons on the battlefield.
The statement that Li Yuanba's double hammers weighed hundreds of pounds was exaggerated dozens of times in the novel.
It's not that there are no warriors who can lift a thousand-pound object, but they can only lift it for a while. If you want to carry it to the battlefield, you will not have the strength to lift it above your head. Either you become a lamb to be slaughtered, or you will kill yourself like Yingdang.
Zhang Qiong's golden melon hammer weighing more than 20 kilograms is a truly unparalleled killing weapon.
Swords and knives are just younger brothers in front of it.
The characteristic of the knife is that it is sharp, but as long as you wear armor, a slightly thicker leather armor can effectively prevent cuts, and you can still fight after being hit by three or five knives. As for iron armor, steel armor can't even break through it.
The sword can use its sharp advantage to break through defense, but its lethality is inferior.
The golden hammer is different. No matter whether you have armor or not, it will definitely kill you with one hammer.
The force brought by the hammer not only injures the skin and flesh, but also the internal organs, meridians and bones.
Especially for a warrior like Zhang Qiong, with one blow of the hammer, the huge force penetrates into the opponent's body and directly turns the area where the opponent was hit into rotten flesh. The continuous force will also cause serious damage to the bones and internal organs inside.
Even if he doesn't die immediately, there is no cure.
Hence, there is a famous saying that "a general with a hammer and a stick cannot be defeated by force."
Zhang Qiong hit the opponents like hitting flies, one on the left and one on the right. His strength was too great, and one swing of the hammer was not only fatal, but also knocked the opponents away, knocking down the soldiers behind him.
The four-sided formation had dug a hole for him.
On the battlefield, strength means everything.
Zhang Qiong didn't know the 500 soldiers behind him at all, but this short charge only took a few cups of tea.
He has captured the hearts of these five hundred soldiers.
“Kill!”
Zhang Qiong was simply in the mood for killing and shouted loudly.
The five hundred soldiers behind him shouted at the same time!
“Kill!”
The morale of the crowd reached its peak and they followed his footsteps fearlessly.
Luo Youdu was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. This was truly a treasure.
He knew that Zhang Qiong was brave and strong, but he didn't expect him to be so brave.
Li Tinggui looked at the left wing that was already in danger of being killed by the enemy, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. How could he fight against such a powerful general?
With a grit of his teeth, Li Tinggui transferred his personal guards to consolidate the left wing.
Facing a warrior like Zhang Qiong, the only solution Li Tinggui could think of was to pay with his own life.
No matter how fierce a person is, there will come a time when he gets tired of killing.
Especially Zhang Qiong's style of play is the most energy-consuming.
Seeing that Li Tinggui stabilized the situation through his on-the-spot arrangements, Luo Youdu could not help but admire him.
This one of the few wise and brave generals of the Later Shu was indeed extraordinary.
But in the current situation, no one can change his defeat.
Luo Youdu was standing on a high place and had already seen a wave of Shu troops fleeing in panic towards Li Tinggui.
The opponent's lineup was quite neat. It was General Wu Wei who was sent by Li Tinggui to support Zhao Yanpu.
Before Wu Wei reached the entrance of Chencang Road, he found Zhao Yanpu's defeated army rushing out of the valley in panic.
From the other side of the mountain road that was out of sight, all kinds of shouts and screams could be heard.
Zhang Jianxiong and Zhao Yan had already defeated Gao Yanchou, and were now chasing after Zhao Yanpu's troops who were blocking the Chencang Road entrance together with Yang Yuan.
Zhao Yanpu had a hard time resisting Yang Yuan, let alone the combined strength of the three?
If the Chencang Road had not been unsuitable for expansion, Zhao Yanpu would have been completely devoured by the three generals.
When Wu Wei learned of the situation, he dared not send reinforcements and immediately turned around and retreated.
The moment he saw Wu Wei, Li Tinggui knew that the situation was hopeless and ordered a retreat to Malingzhai.
Luo Youdu naturally would not miss this opportunity and let Shen Shan and Zhang Qiong continue to chase.
At the same time, people were sent to notify Zhang Jianxiong, Yang Yuan and Zhao Yan to go to Malingzhai.
This time, Li Tinggui did not hesitate. He decisively left a thousand soldiers to guard the rear and hold back Shen Shan and Zhang Qiong, while he retreated to Malingzhai as quickly as possible.
When he was still half a mile away from Maling Village, the shouting and screaming in front of him echoed in his ears along with the surrounding mountains.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks, and Li Tinggui's face turned pale.
Once the Maliang Village is blocked, they will really have no way to retreat.
A stern look flashed in Li Tinggui's eyes, and he said, "The road ahead is blocked, and there are pursuers behind us. The only way to survive is to break out. If you advance, you will live, but if you retreat, you will die. If you want to live, follow me."
After a series of troubles, no matter how hard Li Tinggui encouraged the Shu soldiers, they could no longer maintain their morale.
Suddenly, there were bursts of shouting and killing sounds from behind. Li Tinggui turned his head and his eyes were filled with tears!
Shen Shan and Zhang Qiong had already defeated a thousand rear guard troops and were attacking him from behind.
At the same time, a group of bloodthirsty soldiers were approaching him from the north.
There is no way out.
Li Tinggui smiled miserably: "You surrender now!" He looked towards Chengdu and shouted: "Grandpa Gaozu, Tinggui is here with you!"
Without hesitation, he drew his sword and cut his own throat, blood spurted out, and he fell off his horse.
This one of the few famous generals of the Later Shu was killed on the spot.
With Li Tinggui's suicide, the Shu army lost their will to fight. They dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, waiting for trial.
In this battle, Luo Youdu completed the encirclement and annihilation of Li Tinggui's 15,000 Shu soldiers with only 9,000 soldiers . The general Li Tinggui committed suicide, the deputy general Gao Yanchou died in the chaos, Wu Wei died in battle, Zhao Yanpu was captured alive by Yang Yuan, and the rest all surrendered.
After this battle, the whole country of Shu was shocked.
Meng Chang was completely panicked. He ordered to defend Yangping Pass and sent a large army to Xingyuan Prefecture to resist the invasion of Zhou army by relying on the old Hanzhong. He ordered to send troops to Baishui Pass to defend the gate of fortune and misfortune in Shu. He ordered to withdraw the troops from Baishui Pass and use Jiange as the front line of defense...
Within one day, he issued ten contradictory orders, making the already panicked Shu monarch and his ministers even more at a loss.
In the end, Meng Chang decided to forcibly recruit soldiers and sent all the recruits to Jiange, Baishui Pass, and Yangping Pass.
Then something funny happened.
A large number of soldiers were recruited, and financial support was needed.
There is still some food left, but we really can’t get the military pay.
Meng Chang had already emptied the Shu Kingdom's treasury.
