Chapter 304: Chen Cang
Not only did Zhang He not expect it, but even Zhuge Liang, who had been paying attention to the occupation, was shocked in his heart, feeling that His Majesty seemed to be a different person, and he actually had such a strong strength.
This kind of deed of killing the enemy general in the army is usually only done by super fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who would have thought that there would be such a situation in front of him?
"Pass my general's order, Guan Xing Zhang Bao led his troops and horses to attack the enemy's two wings, and the Chinese army attacked forward in a large array!"
Zhuge Liang quickly reacted, after the enemy general Zhang He was killed, the tens of thousands of horsemen in front of him were no longer a threat, he immediately gave the order and sent two generals to take the opportunity to press.
At this time, Zhang He's deputy general was Guo Huai, a famous general of Wei State, Guo Huai Jiuzhen was in the northwest, and had a strong prestige in the army.
However, his efforts were in vain.
After killing Zhang He in battle, Yang Yun urged the horse forward, swallowed the divine light with a long lance in his hand, and harvested the names of a large number of Wei soldiers, as if chopping waves and rushing forward. Straight in the direction of the Chinese army Daxu raid.
The three hundred white-eared elite soldiers who followed him, and the two thousand well-trained cavalry followed him closely, and the gap that rushed out of the front was constantly expanding.
Rumble!
In just a moment, Yang Yun suddenly attacked the Wei army's large array of Chinese troops. As soon as the lance was raised, the blade in the hand of a Wei sergeant flew towards Daxu with a whistling energy. With a snort, it slammed the big in two.
"Defeated!"
"General Zhang died in battle, Daxu has arrived, hurry up and flee for your life!"
After the Chinese army was cut off, the courage that the remaining Wei soldiers forcibly gathered was shattered, and it was useless to let Guo Huai's constant command.
And, to add insult to injury.
After Zhang He was killed, the tiger talisman he controlled over a thousand yellow turban wrestlers also fell into the chaos, without the control of the tiger talisman, a thousand yellow turban wrestlers looked very clumsy, and instantly slowed down several beats in terms of changing formations.
"The enemy will die!"
Ma Chao, who had been trapped for a long time, roared, with a hint of shame and anger on his face. His face was calm and murderous, and with one shot, the tendons of several wrestlers who were blocking the front were broken and flew out.
And he took advantage of this gap to jump out and instantly target Guo Huai.
Swish!
The spear roared out with a violent air current, Ma Chao directly threw the weapon in his hand after seeing the target, the spear came instantly, not giving Guo Huai the slightest time to react, after the spear came into contact with his body, a powerful force burst out. Guo Huai's body exploded.
The Wei army folded another general.
At this time, the left and right wings led by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were also inserted into the Wei army's battle array, surrounding the Wei soldiers who had collapsed on both sides.
In addition to the frontal impact of the Chinese army led by Zhuge Liang, these soldiers were copied by three breads, except for some auxiliary soldiers at the back who could quickly turn around and run, most of the soldiers were stopped.
After Yang Yun broke through the big array, he quickly came out in a circle.
For him, killing more people can't bring him much benefit, these tens of thousands of Wei elites, if they can be captured, after taking Chang'an in the future, these soldiers can still be used by him.
"After the total annihilation of Zhang He's department, the army will be able to march east along Weishui, capture Chencang first, and take a foothold in Guanzhong!"
Before Yang Yun sent his troops, he had already discussed the strategy with Zhuge Liang.
Taking the three counties of Longxi and holding the street pavilion, it can only be said that there is no need to worry about the back road of the Shu Han army. But if you want to enter Guanzhong and take Chang'an, there are still a few steps to go.
Among them, Chencang is located at the western end of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, and is also a defensive fortress in the north of Sanguan, if Chencang is not taken, the Wei army may attack Guanzhong through Chencang. Although the probability is relatively low, it has to be guarded against.
At that time, Han Xinneng repaired the plank road to darken Chencang, and Wei Jun also had the possibility of entering Guanzhong through Chencang Road.
After taking Chencang, the Shu Han army will no longer have any worries, and can directly enter Yixian County and threaten Chang'an.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, kill Zhang He in battle! In this Northern Expedition, our army has won the victory!"
Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face.
He didn't expect that this Northern Expedition would be so smooth, but it would be better if there were two generals, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, accompanied by the army.
Although these two people were already elite, they smuggled across the Meridian Road and raided Chang'an. This strategy is still a bit too risky.
It's better to gather all the forces, form eight formations, and push all the way through.
Although he had a different mind in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face.
With His Majesty's character, as long as he makes a decision, he rarely regrets it, and besides, it is useless to say it now. So such a thought just turned around in Zhuge Liang's heart and quickly disappeared.
"Hahahaha, you can't be careless now, it is said that Cao Rong has personally come to Chang'an to sit in the town, and it is not so easy to defeat the Wei army and take Chang'an!"
Yang Yun smiled.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, now the strongest of our army is field warfare, and the minister has a suggestion, after the army marches east along Weishui, the speed of attacking Chencang should not be too fast, and give the Wei army a chance to send reinforcements!"
"When the time comes, we will be able to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and we may be able to annihilate all the forces of the Wei army in Guanzhong in one fell swoop!"
Attacking Chen Cang is a decision that has already been made, but when to attack, it will be a decision to be on the battlefield.
Zhuge Liang's strategy fully took into account the advantages of the Shu army.
Moreover, if Cao Rong sent a large army to rescue Chen Cang, Chang'an's forces would be empty, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan would be able to provide an opportunity to raid Chang'an.
It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
For this kind of good strategy, Yang Yun naturally will not refuse. In this Northern Expedition of the Great Army, he was ready to help Zhuge Liang control the overall situation only in major aspects, and Zhuge Liang was still in charge of the specific combat strategy.
After the army rested for a day in the street pavilion, Yang Yun, Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and others led the army into Tianshui County, and then marched east along the Weishui Road. Crossing the mountain road between the Weishui and Qinling Mountains, we came to the foot of Chencang City.
Chen Cang's guard at this time was Hao Zhao, a general who had guarded the counties west of Weishui for more than ten years.
In the original history, Zhuge Liang sent troops from Sanguan to besiege Chencang, and tens of thousands of elites besieged Chencang, which was only garrisoned by 3,000 men and horses, and it couldn't be broken in a month's time.
This person's ability to defend the city is top-notch.
"However, no matter how strong the ability to defend the city is, there is no way to meet a peerless general like Ma Chao!"
Yang Yun knew Hao Zhao's ability, but the strength of the Shu army was far several times beyond the original timeline, as long as he wanted to attack the city, in less than two days, Chen Cang would inevitably be broken.
