Chapter 298: True and False Liu Chan
Yongzhou Thorn Shi Guo Huai acted vigorously and resolutely,
He mobilized the army, bid farewell to Cao Zhen, and hurried on the road.
But halfway through, he was chased back by a fast horse.
"Guo Yuanjun, the situation has changed, please make Jun return quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Guo Huai asked nervously.
"Xiegu all the way, it is indeed Liu Chan's regular soldier,
Liu Chan led the army out of the valley and had already reached Wuzhang Plain! โ
"This ......"
Guo Huai was directly blinded.
said that Liu Chan will only use tricks, this is not a routine.
Hearing that Liu Chan's army had arrived in Wuzhangyuan, Guo Huai did not have time to return to Chang'an, so he hurriedly led his army to deploy defense in Beiyuan, which is separated by a Weishui River from Wuzhangyuan.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
The Wei army had just arrived in Beiyuan, and the Han army general Yang Qun had already taken advantage of the shallow Weishui water to wade across the river.
In the long wind of hunting, Yang Qun personally raised a big flag and shouted:
"Erchen thief, do you still recognize the banner of the Han family!"
It was a big flag with white characters on a red background with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty.
There is a huge "Han" character written on it by the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the yang group with the banner in his hand stands solemnly in the wind, constantly exhaling the white gas of Sen Sen in his mouth, like an angry bull in the cold wind, only with Sen Leng's gaze caused a strong shock to the Wei army!
Although the big man in the Central Plains is finished,
But the 400-year-old legacy is still engraved in the blood of generations.
At first glance, the word "Han" swelled up in the hearts of many Wei soldiers.
They are still wearing the colors of the Han Dynasty (in fact, the colors are almost the same, there are not so many dyes to change), but they are already Cao Wei's banner.
And the high-spirited troops on the opposite side were playing the banner of their homeland, which made them subconsciously cringe.
Guo Huai also felt this atmosphere.
That's not a good sign.
"Hugh must be cowering, you kings will kill the enemy with me!"
The Han army did not have many troops crossing the river, and if they did not take the opportunity to drive them down and gain a foothold in the Northern Plains, it would be a great defeat.
Guo Huai made a quick decision, he personally picked up an iron halberd, shouted his name, and swooped towards the Han army's military formation.
Only then did Wei Jun react,
Under Guo Huai's organization, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Yang Qun.
If Guo Huai hadn't suddenly arrived for reinforcements, Yang Qun wouldn't have been able to take Beiyuan with a single charge.
But now there are more and more reinforcements from the Wei army, which makes Yang Qun a little dilemma for a while.
It is already very difficult to move forward, and there is Weishui behind him,
The slightest carelessness will be the end of the total annihilation.
However, the more he encountered this kind of danger, the more excited Yang Qun became.
He straightened the steel helmet given by the prince on his head, and said in a cold voice:
"I will open the way for you, and you will kill thieves with me!"
Guo Huai is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Wei army under his command,
But at the beginning of the battle, he felt that something was wrong with the situation on the battlefield.
Although the Han army had few soldiers, it could hold on to it when it was surrounded, but the pontoon bridge began to be erected on the other side of the river, clearly to rescue the Han army here.
"Sure enough, it's the main force of the Shu army, go and inform General Cao that Liu Chan is going to attack from here!"
It seems that in order to confirm Guo Huai's speculation,
A clear cry was amplified dozens of times by something strange, allowing him to hear it clearly in the fight and roar across the water.
"Gentlemen, I am Liu Chan, the prince of the Han Dynasty,
The thief army has broken its courage, you will kill the thief with me, and kill the thief with me! โ
In the Han army on the other side, a young man in a crimson Zen robe wore something that Guo Huai had never seen before, and he was holding a steel knife with great difficulty, shaking it and shouting hard.
As he shouted, a thunderous cheer erupted in the Han army,
The surrounded troops of Yangqun also shouted in unison, and they actually resisted the Wei army to the death and counterattacked Guo Huai's camp.
Liu Chan!
It was Liu Chan who came in person!
Although Guo Huai had not seen Liu Chan himself, across the riverbank, he could also feel that the young man was full of vigor and spirit, and there was a sense of confidence and bearing that had been in the top position for a long time between his words.
And......
"The thief will be rampant, but you can recognize me Changshan Zhao Zilonghu!"
Dressed in a red robe and covered with Xuan armor, Zhao Yun, who was over fifty years old, raised his spear and shouted his name.
He was the first to jump onto the pontoon bridge, crossing the river like a gale, and the Wei army, which was fighting to the death with the Han army, was immediately single-handedly rushed open by Zhao Yun!
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
He's only one man!
He's only one man! โ
Several lieutenants and military commanders under Guo Huai were roaring hoarsely,
They couldn't believe that there was such a rampant person in this world who dared to kill the enemy army on foot alone!
It's so rampant, there is no room for such rampant people in this world.
Angrily clenching their steel knives, they directed their guards forward, engulfing the silver-haired old man with outnumbered superiority.
But as the commander-in-chief, Guo Huai had a helpless voice in his heart-
He's Zhao Yun......
In the Hanzhong War in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Zhao Yun led thousands of people from his headquarters to rescue Huang Zhong among the Cao army, and calmly opened the gate of the camp and stood alone outside the camp to confront the Cao army, making great contributions to the final victory of the Han army.
After the war, Liu Bei said that Zhao Yun "Zilong is a guts", and Guo Huai finally learned it today!
"This must be the main force of Liu Adou's army here, and the monarchs will retreat quickly!"
If it was really an assault by Liu Chan's army, Guo Huai didn't expect to be able to hold the Northern Plains on his own.
But as soon as he gave the order to retreat, he suddenly heard an angry roar behind him:
"What can Zhao Yun do?
Whoever dares to retreat today will be killed! โ
It's Cao Zhen!
Under the banner of the Wei army, a piece of heavily armed ironclad knights let out an earth-shattering roar, and the horse's hooves shook the yellow earth under their feet with bursts of painful trembling!
"Zhao Yun, take your life!"
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Zhen was ordered to intercept Liu Bei's grain route in Micang Mountain.
But his performance at that time was very clumsy, and he lived up to Cao Cao's trust.
However, on Liu Bei's side, the elderly Huang Zhong and the old Zhao Yun were active, so that Cao Zhen couldn't raise his head.
After that battle, Cao Zhen kept holding his breath in his heart, he must take revenge,
And now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
When he heard the news of the arrival of the Han army, he led the main cavalry to approach early.
After discovering that Guo Huai was surrounded, Cao Zhen did not directly assault, but watched the situation from a distance.
It wasn't until the Han army launched a full-army assault that the army was about to kill Weishui for a time, that Cao Zhen ordered his cavalry to dispatch the whole army, and he himself was also holding a spear, and pounced on Zhao Yun like a tyrannosaurus!
"Get out of the way, I'm going to kill this old man!"
The Han army's river-crossing troops were all Han troops, and they were suddenly confused in the face of Cao Zhen's onslaught.
I have to say that Cao Zhen's timing is really in place.
After a day of fierce fighting, the Han army was forced to retreat to Wuzhang Plain, and Zhao Yun personally returned to the palace, and finally there were no too tragic casualties.
However, the Wei army under the leadership of Cao Zhen had already been stationed in Xiazhai in the northern plains, and the vanguard of the Han army had also paid a lot of losses, and it was unable to launch a new offensive for the time being.
It can be said that this battle was a complete victory for Cao Zhen.
"The generals are like gods, why don't our army crush Weishui in one fell swoop and drive the Shu army back to Shu?"
Dai Ling, who came with Cao Zhen, was covered in the blood of the Han army, and said excitedly.
Cao Zhen snorted, looked at the Han army that soon regrouped on the south bank of Weishui, and slowly shook his head.
"No, as long as the Shu army is blocked here, it will be a big victory, and now I don't know where Liu Adou is, so don't underestimate the enemy."
"Liu Adou is in Wuzhang Plain!" Guo Huai hurriedly told Cao Zhen about the young man who appeared in the Han army before.
Cao Zhen was noncommittal.
"Liu Adou has always been cunning, and it is not impossible to find someone to impersonate him.
But now they have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wuzhangyuan, but they can't be guarded against. โ
"I'm here myself...... Boji, you have a good rest, or you will lead the army to Tianshui, and you must let Ma Zun Haosheng fortify! โ
ยท
Although the surprise attack of the Han army did not make Cao Zhen completely relax his vigilance, at least, Cao Zhen also temporarily invested a large number of main forces in the Xiegu area.
Guo Huai's troops suffered heavy losses, and Cao Zhen did not dare to divide his troops seriously, so he had to ask Guo Huai to lead 800 people to leave.
He looked at the Han army formation on the other bank, and Zhao Yun, who had taken off his armor, also slowly walked to the river.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw the fierce fighting intent in each other's eyes.
Naturally, it was not Liu Chan himself who appeared in Wuzhangyuan with Zhao Yun,
Ma Tan's apprentice Sun Shu took on this role very well, as Liu Chan's stand-in, he worked very hard to boost morale and shouted to kill the enemy.
But after all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, looking at the tragic image of flesh and blood flying on the opposite side, Sun Wei was almost frightened, and he was already shrinking in the military tent at this time and did not dare to come out.
Yang Qun settled the injured soldier, and slowly came to Zhao Yun's side, and said with some embarrassment:
"I didn't expect these thieves to be so powerful."
Yang Qun was sent to the mouth of the oil river early on business, and the enemies he faced were always those Wu troops with Shanyue as the main force.
He didn't expect that the main force of the Wei army would have such a powerful combat power, and many of his soldiers were warriors who fought hard with the main force of the Wu army, but they did not have any advantage in the battle with the Wei army.
No wonder the prince has been cautious and does not dare to fight with the main force of the Wei army.
It's unwise to trade a life for a life.
Zhao Yun nodded slowly.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to make any further progress now.
Cao Zhen is a very strong opponent, he is stationed in Beiyuan, so he will not give himself a chance to break the formation easily.
This Northern Expedition, after all, depends on the situation of the prince's way.
I hope that this time, God will be on the side of the big man.
