Chapter 0589: Retreat

As soon as the two armies came into contact, Cao Jun saw that the other party was led by a person who was nine feet tall, with a hideous face and extremely ugly face, holding Fang Tian's halberd, and one big step was worth two steps for others.

Before the person arrived, the long Fang Tian halberd had already stabbed him, and the ugly man roared in a low voice, and with a force on his hand, he directly stabbed Cao Bing in front of him, and then pushed the corpse back, and knocked down two or three people.

As soon as the tip of the halberd was pulled out, the blood in Cao Bing's chest gushed like a spring.

Before the person next to him could react, a crescent-shaped blade swept across his neck, a blood mist erupted, and the unlucky Cao Bing covered his neck, his throat rattled, and he fell.

Cao Bing is an elite soldier, seeing such a fierce general, he knows that if he is allowed to take the lead in breaking through the front formation, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At the same time, someone held a hook inlay to block the halberd, and then turned around and hooked, hooking the crescent-shaped blade of Fang Tian's halberd, and pulling it back vigorously to prevent the opponent's weapon from moving.

How do you know that the ugly man of the Han army is infinitely powerful, seeing that several people's own Fang Tianhalberd was restrained, he held the halberd with both hands at the moment, roared angrily, and pulled it violently, and several Cao soldiers were unstable on their feet, staggering and falling forward.

The ugly man's hand was liberated, and with another sweep, he blocked all the spears that stabbed, and some people even felt that their palms were numb, and they couldn't grasp the weapon for a while, and the spear in their hands flew out.

The ugly man stepped forward, smashed his backhand again, and actually used Fang Tian's halberd as an iron rod, and beat a Cao soldier to the point that his bones were broken, and he died with blood.

The Han army following him took advantage of the opportunity of the Cao army on the opposite side being disrupted by the ugly man, and rushed up, raising their knives and slashing indiscriminately, and for a while, the flesh and blood of both sides flew sideways, and the wails continued.

Although the Han army had fewer people than the Cao army, with the ugly man taking the lead in the charge, the front army of the Cao army was unable to resist for a while, and the formation was a little messy.

"Who is this? So ferocious? ”

Cao Zhen looked at the tall body, rushing left and right, no one could stop him, and he couldn't help but stand up straight at the moment, and asked in a lost voice.

"Will you dare to leave your name?"

Someone from Cao Jun came up and shouted loudly.

"A certain is more than Eshun is also!"

The voice of the ugly man is like thunder, not like a human voice.

"Send someone over to intercept him, don't let him recklessly commit murder!"

Cao Zhen ordered.

So soon Cao Bing came up from behind, struggling to resist Eshun.

The bravery of the general's individual may not have a great killing effect for many enemy soldiers, but it has an extremely important encouraging effect on his own soldiers.

Although Eshun was finally blocked by Cao Bing, the Han army behind him led everyone bravely, and the front army of Cao Jun could only be blocked, and it was difficult to counterattack.

However, the Han army was based on Jikou, with high mountains as the left and right wings, and it was impossible for Cao Zhen to let the cavalry go around the side or rear of the Han army from a distance.

The only way is to directly let the cavalry attack the two wings under Zhao Yun's nose.

Zhao Yun led the Chinese army to stand still, and saw that the other party's cavalry finally moved, he was Liu Bei's main horseman, how could he not know what the other party wanted to do?

At that moment, he ordered half of the Chinese army to go to the left to resist, and he led the other half of the Chinese army directly to the right.

If it is said that Eshun's use of Fang Tianhalberd is to occupy a strong force, then the spear used by Zhao Yun is to occupy a fast word.

Not only are the horses fast, but the guns are faster.

A little cold came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon.

Before Cao Jun's cavalry could react, they only felt a flower in front of them, and then the white light flashed, and their bodies were provoked and they fell off their horses directly.

Zhao Yun speared a horse, a silver spear was as bright as a pear flower, and one person rode as if entering a no-man's land, and wherever he went, Cao Bing retreated.

However, the terrain of this Keikou is narrow, and the advantage of Cao's large number of soldiers cannot be brought into play, Cao Zhen was angry at first, and when he saw that the Han army had begun to move, he was overjoyed.

This Zhao Yunnai is the commander, if the boss is in person, it means that the Han army really has no other means.

He was about to urge his men and horses to increase his forces, when he suddenly saw many flags being erected in the valley, and at the same time there was a noise of drums and figures shaking, as if a large army was driving out of the valley.

Seeing that his former army was being rushed by Zhao Yun and E Shun with people, if there was really a large army coming, I was afraid that my formation would suffer a big loss, so I had to withdraw my troops first and reorganize the lineup, so as not to be exploited.

Fortunately, Cao Jun was an elite soldier, and he slowly retreated after hearing the gold, defeated but not chaotic.

Zhao Yun did not chase after him, and took people back to the camp to reorganize the troops and horses, and at the same time sent people to clean up the battlefield, and when he saw the Cao soldiers who were still alive, he killed them with a knife, and at the same time brought back his own corpses and wounded soldiers.

Cao Zhen lost the first battle, and he couldn't see whether there was really an ambush behind the opponent's camp, so he didn't dare to fight again.

Zhao Yun got a chance to breathe, and personally cut off the army, so that Deng Zhi led the old and weak to withdraw overnight.

On the second day, Zhao Yan, the great Sima military advisor of Cao Wei, as the advance envoy of Emperor Wei, came to Yicheng, heard about the situation of yesterday's battle, and after a little thought, he knew that there must be fraud in it.

"The general is only afraid that he is in the middle of the game and can't turn around for a while, so he was deceived by that Zhao Yun."

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Zhen asked.

"If there is really a large army behind the Shu captive, then how can Zhao Yun let the general easily lead the army back, I am afraid that he will chase after him, so according to a certain person, I am only afraid of fraud."

Zhao Yan explained.

Cao Zhen nodded, "When I think back last night, I also feel a little suspicious, but now that His Majesty has not yet arrived in Chang'an, if I fail, Chang'an is in danger, so I have to be careful." ”

Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Your Majesty has passed the Tong Pass yesterday, and you will definitely be able to reach Chang'an today." That Shu captivity has to be calculated, he must be proud, the general might as well send someone out of the city again, and beat him at a loss. ”

"Okay."

Cao Zhen nodded.

It's just that this time, the Han army closed the gate of the village and did not come out, and only sent people on the sentry tower of the camp to keep an eye on the Cao army outside.

Cao Zhen couldn't hold it back, and tried to send people to attack the village, but he didn't expect it to be an attack, only to find that the figures he saw from outside were all straw men.

"Not good! Hit the plan. That Shu Yu must have run away overnight! ”

Cao Zhen was in a hurry, and was about to drive the army to chase after him, Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "The slope valley is difficult to walk, the terrain is dangerous, and the general must send someone to investigate first, so as not to fall into an ambush." ”

When the Cao army sentry returned, the Shu army had retreated to the valley and was moving towards Hanzhong.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth when he heard this, "I don't believe he has any tricks this time." ”

was about to lead the army to follow into the valley, only to hear Zhao Yan sigh, "I'm afraid that the general won't be able to catch up." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the front, "A certain soldier was sent to Hanzhong before, and I know that all the roads in Hanzhong have pavilions. The general looked, there was thick smoke in front of him, and he was afraid that the Shu captives were already burning the plank road and cutting off the general's pursuit road. ”

Cao Zhen sent someone to check again, and as Zhao Yan said, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops at the moment.

There is a rather long section of plank road on the slope valley road, which is built on the martial arts water, and there are mountain cliffs at the water's edge, called red cliffs.

The pavilion road is first made of wooden pillars to stand in the water, and then the pillars are deeply cut into the red cliff, so that the plank road can be laid.

When Deng Zhi led the army to retreat, he put a lot of tung oil on the plank road, just waiting for Zhao Yun's rear army to pass by, splashing the tung oil directly on the plank road, and then lighting the fire, and the plank road made of wood ignited a fire.

A lot of wood burned halfway and then fell into the rushing river below, and was washed away.

"General, this plank road has burned for more than 100 miles, so the thief shouldn't be able to get by."

Eshun saw Zhao Yun standing on the pavilion road, looking at the fire in front of him, and immediately walked over and said.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise if Jikou is defeated in the first battle, I am afraid that the army will not easily return to Hanzhong." ”

"The general has won the award, and the general is just doing his best."

E Shun said, looking at the still burning pavilion road, his eyes showed admiration, "Feng Langjun is really powerful, he can actually expect that there will be a day when the pavilion road will be burned, and he will store tung oil here in advance." ”

Zhao Yun listened, his heart was a little uncomfortable, he squinted at E Shun, and said in his heart, don't you mean that the kid already knew that I would be defeated?

But at this time, I thought about it, before that kid set off, in the name of Erlang, he had to stuff this fierce general into his army in life or death, isn't he not optimistic about himself from the beginning?

It's just that I remembered yesterday's lucky victory, and today I was able to lead the army to retreat safely, during which Eshun made a lot of contributions, and Zhao Yun couldn't say anything at the moment.

At the same time, he glanced at the northwest with some concern, and he didn't know how the prime minister was doing in Longyou? He has already lost, Cao Thief can focus on Longyou, and the pressure on the prime minister will increase suddenly!

It's just that it's useless to think too much, Zhao Yun can only send someone to inform the prime minister of the defeat in Jikou as soon as possible, and the rest is waiting for the news of the prime minister.

The Han Dynasty built a treasury in the south of Chiya, which was originally used for the Northern Expedition, but now the army was defeated and retreated, and the pavilion road was burned, Zhao Yun ordered all the remaining resources of the army to be sealed back to the Chiya treasury for the coming day.

At the same time, he led the troops to guard the Chiya Pass, just in case.

Longright.

Zhuge Liang was able to capture Jicheng, and when he heard that Zhao Guang had returned from Longguan to lead the army, he was overjoyed, and he was so excited that he walked out of the door of the living room of Jicheng County Ya to personally greet Zhao Guang and Yang Wan.

"Longyou returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty, Feng Mingwen and you are the first merit!"

Zhao Guang is okay, after all, his family is friendly with the prime minister, if he is willing, he will have the opportunity to meet the prime minister every day.

Yang Wan was different, seeing the prime minister standing at the door to greet him, he was already trembling with excitement, but now when he heard this sentence again, he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet on the spot.

I saw him bow helplessly, and stammered, "The end ...... Weekend...... Yang Wan ......"

"Meritorious people, why be polite!" The prime minister of the Han Dynasty held a young talent in one hand and welcomed them into the living room, "You guys are running back and forth, it's hard work!" Sit down, tell me quickly, how did you capture Longguan? ”

Yang Qian sat there, how did his buttocks have sores, and he twisted from side to side.

However, Zhao Guang was calmer, and he could only hear him say, "Back to the prime minister, my brother made a kind of stone-throwing cart, which is much more powerful than the usual stone-throwing cart, and can throw a jar of tung oil into the pass two hundred steps away." ”

"The city was full of wooden houses, and there were many sassal woods, and they burned down all at once. The fire burned so great that if the people inside did not come out, they would have to be burned to death......"

With just a few words, the eyelids of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty jumped, not to mention Jiang Wei, who was specially called to audit.

After thinking about it for a while, the people in Longguan City were burned alive by Feng Yong's direct oil fire, Jiang Wei felt a stirring spirit in his heart, and secretly said that this ruthless little Wenhe was really worthy of his name.

However, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty heard the key point of this, and hurriedly asked, "How powerful is the stone throwing car?" ”

"Prime Minister, the last general doesn't know. This kind of stone-throwing cart can only be operated by people who have been specially trained by my brother, and it is best used by those who can listen to arithmetic......"

When the prime minister of the Han Dynasty heard this, his eyes glowed green, this must be that kid's mastery again, he can't be wrong!

Feng Yong vigorously promoted arithmetic in the school, and his use of arithmetic was really unique, which the prime minister of the Han Dynasty had long understood.

What kind of big data statistics is not the use of arithmetic?

Thinking of this, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was itchy and asked again and again, "What about things?" Where's the thing? ”

"The stone-throwing truck in Longguan has been destroyed by my brother, saying that it is to prevent Cao thieves from obtaining it and then taking it to prevent construction."

"Smack!" When the prime minister of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately slapped the case and became angry.

"But the elder brother has already asked the last general to bring the man back. Not only the craftsman who made the stone-throwing cart, but also the man who operated the stone-throwing cart was brought back. ”

Zhao Guang looked at the prime minister's appearance and hurriedly explained.

"Good, good!" Only then did the prime minister of the Han Dynasty turn his anger into joy, and he couldn't help but stand up and was about to speak.

I only heard Zhao Guang say a little slurred, "It's just...... It's just that my brother said something before he left yesterday......"

"What?"

When the prime minister of the Han Dynasty saw Zhao Guang's appearance, he subconsciously sighed in his heart, and secretly said I knew it was not that simple!

"My brother said that these people are not easy to cultivate, so they just borrow ...... Lend it to the prime minister for ......"

Zhao Guang stumbled.

Zhuge Liang: ......

Jiang Wei couldn't help but squint, in this big Han world, there is still someone who dares to talk to the prime minister about conditions? Tired of living?

"Borrow it, borrow it, and I'll pay him back when it's used up."

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty remembered that now he has not gone down to Tai and Longxi, and two days ago, Zhang Bao from Naguan Xing came back with news, saying that there was an abnormal movement in Liangzhou. In the past two days, I was still thinking about how to capture Xiangwu in Longxi earlier, so as to free up my hands to deal with the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

That kid asked Zhao Guang to bring back such people, which was to relieve his urgent need, and he immediately spoke.

When Jiang Wei heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, did anyone dare to bargain with the prime minister? The prime minister actually agreed?

Zhuge Liang naturally didn't notice Jiang Wei's expression, and his gaze fell on the hanging map.

From Jicheng along the Wei River upwards, it is the county of Nan'an County and the county of Longxi County Xiangwu County, as long as these two places are held, whether the people of Liangzhou are from Yuzhong in the north or from Didao in the west, they can respond quickly.

Now that Longguan has been blocked, if the Cao thief wants to send a large army to the east gate of Longyou Luoyang, he can only take the northernmost Jitou Road, in this way, he will have to walk nearly 500 miles more.

And these 500 miles are not something they can walk if they want to.

Because Xiaoguan and Jitou Road both belong to Anding County, and Anding County is one of the three counties that responded to the Han Dynasty, Cao Thief just wanted to go to Long through Jitou Road, so he had to level Anding County first.

Otherwise, the road and grain road will be cut off, and the army will be sent to death.

I have to say that Longguan changed hands, and the whole battle situation has come to life.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang smiled confidently, nodded at Longshan Mountain in the north, and said, "Zhao Guang, if I gather 15,000 people for you, can you hold Xiao Pass and Jitou Dao?" ”
