Hearing that the Han army went out of Qishan to attack Tianshui, Cao Zhen, who was sitting in Chang'an, showed a trace of worry on his face.

Although this tactic did not exceed his expectations, Liu Chan's attack was fast and ruthless, and it just cut into Cao Zhen's vital point, making it difficult for him to make too violent counterattacks for a while.

His main force was completely dragged by Zhao Yun in Wuzhangyuan,

If he did not gather heavy troops to defend, Zhao Yun could cross the river at any time and attack Yixian, the gateway to Chang'an.

But if it is heavily defended, Longyou will be completely cut off, and Cao Wei will lose contact with Liangzhou.

This made Cao Zhen very entangled.

Guo Huai's soldiers are small, and even if he reaches Shangqi, he is powerless to control the overall situation.

Gao Gang in Qishan and You Chu in Longxi couldn't last long.

He set his sights on the street pavilion, which was the key to victory or defeat.

Cao Zhen also heard the story of the battle between She and Kui Huan, and knew that the Northwest Wolf Kui Huan was easily defeated by Emperor Guangwu after losing the street pavilion.

He could only pray that Liu Chan was young and did not notice this key position.

However, Liu Chan wouldn't be so stupid when he thought about it.

"Xiliang Ma Chao, Jiangdong Ding Feng, barbarian Wang Ping, and ...... The god of war! ”

Liu Chan's troops were so luxurious, not counting the troops of Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, the mysterious Haotian army of Jufu, and Meng Yan's Hubu battalion.

There are so many capable people, how did he get them?

It's a real headache.

Cao Wei could withstand the fall of Xiangyang and Xinye, but it was difficult to afford the loss of Longyou.

If Longyou is lost, it means that the Han army has another suitable channel for sending troops in addition to Jingzhou.

And if there is no Longyou, they will lose contact with Liangzhou,

That land is restless in the first place, and once it learns about it, it will immediately jump back, and I don't know how much work it will take to recover it.

Again......

Now the Wei army's biggest advantage over the Han army is the war horse.

As we all know, Yongliang is rich in good horses,

If Liu Chan armed a cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They have no shortage of good cavalry generals......

Cao Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Junyi, you led an army of 50,000 to relieve the siege of Longyou, how about it?"

Zhang He nodded solemnly:

"It's exactly what I want, but the general is here ......"

Although Cao Zhen has a large army of 100,000, Zhang He has to run thousands of miles, and it is estimated that all the cavalry will be taken away.

In case Qishan is also a suspicious soldier along the way, Cao Zhen really doesn't have much reserve on his hands.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and sneered:

"With me here, even if you don't worry,

I'm sitting here, and I regard Zhao Yun like a chicken! ”

Zhang He is also a general, and seeing that Cao Zhen is so confident, he will no longer persuade him at the moment.

He hurriedly gathered his troops and horses, and was just about to attack, when someone suddenly reported that the imperial court had sent someone.

"Zhongda, why are you here?" Hearing that Sima Yi was coming, Cao Zhen also hurried out to greet him and held the old friend's hands in surprise.

Sima Yi, who was born in a family of military generals, is proficient in military strategy, good at planning, and is a wise and resourceful person that every military general likes.

With his arrival, Cao Zhen felt a little more confident in his heart,

But when he saw Sima Yi's face clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This resourceful man who has always been far-reaching and unfazed by changes has a gloomy face, a haggard look, and his eyes are bloodshot, where is there still half a point of chic before.

"What's wrong?"

Sima Yi said with a hoarse voice:

"Something big happened, the Shu army conquered Xinye, Niu Yuanfeng committed suicide, and the wild prince and marquis ...... The wild prince was captured by Zhang Fei! ”

The wild prince is Cao Hong.

When Cao Zhen heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning for a while, but fortunately, Dai Ling quickly helped him up, which did not let him faint directly to the ground.

"Here, what the hell is going on?"

The Battle of Xinye was carefully designed by Chen Qun and Sima Yi, and Cao Hong knew this very well.

Even if the Han army breaks through Xinye, even if Niujin breaks through unfavorably, the most losses will be this.

But how......

Even the wild princes have been arrested?

Niu Jin's plan was already very well arranged.

The dead soldiers in the city acted according to the plan, and only important figures of the Han army would set fire to the city after they entered the city,

If it is only some inconsequential advance that enters the city, it will not move first.

But that day, it was Liu Feng who led the way to the city!

It's the big fish of the big fish.

Liu Feng is Liu Bei's righteous son, and his status is very high.

As soon as he entered the city, he showed his banner for fear that others would not know about it, and sent people to control the granaries and treasury in the city, and camped in the city for the night.

In this way, Han Yu, the leader of the dead soldiers, was overjoyed.

According to the original deployment, the dead soldiers in the city suddenly set fire, and Xinye's Liu Feng army will definitely be in chaos.

The Han troops stationed outside the city either went to rescue their comrades in the city, or they hurried to escape.

There shouldn't be a third way to go.

There will never be anyone who ignores Liu Bei's life and death, and is still watching from the wall when the fire starts, right?

This happened to follow Wei Jun's wishes.

When they entered the city, the flood from the upper reaches of the Wei army just arrived,

Even if the Han army was not completely submerged, most of them would be soaked in the icy water, and there would be no combat effectiveness.

When Cao Hong's army is dispatched, even if Guan Zhang is brave, he will have to avoid it for the time being.

The plan was perfect.

That night, Liu Feng and Shi Tao drank to celebrate the victory of Xinye.

The cold wind was cold, and the two of them were eating meat and drinking wine while guarding the stove, and they really wanted to be so happy.

Thinking that Shen Tan, Meng Da and others outside the city had to stay overnight in the cold wind, Liu Feng's heart was even happier.

The two were drunk, and when they talked about the old things of the year, Shi Tao said that he saw that Liu Feng was extraordinary that day.

But these words happened to poke at Liu Feng's lung tube, his face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly:

"Nonsense!"

Shi Tao already regretted it when he spoke, so he could only smile and nod and said:

"It's Shi who drank too much, it's Shi who drank too much."

Liu Feng snorted, unhappily put on his clothes and returned to the army,

Leaving Shi Tao's mansion, a wind blew in the face, Liu Feng subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly, but he felt that the wind was not cold and scary.

Hmm, what's going on?

He looked up in a daze, but was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the houses not far away were burning, Liu Feng immediately shook his head.

On fire?

Is this a misfire?

The Han army entered the city, Niu Jin and others fled, Shi Tao had no heart to resist, and there was a large army stationed outside the city, which should be quite safe.

The Han troops in the cold wind also hurriedly camped and prepared to spend the night, maybe who got up at night to cause the fire.

However, Liu Feng quickly reacted that he had been tricked.

For the fire spread very quickly, and there were fires on all sides of the city, and the flames on all sides were like angry dragons, harvesting the creatures of the city everywhere.

The Han soldiers, who had just fallen asleep, thought that they had been attacked by a surprise attack, and woke up at night, and immediately there was a camp roar.

The crowd was overwhelmed and collided with each other, and many of them even fled into the flames in blindness, with screams and wails everywhere.

Han Yu led 800 men to kill several Han soldiers who were panicking, and shouted that the enemy was coming, causing the Han army to be even more chaotic.

The results are quite satisfactory now.

This raging fire obscured the sky and the sun, and the Wei army in the distance would also hurry up to summon the news when they saw it.

The Han army outside the city and the Guanzhang headquarters farther away should hurry up to the rescue,

It's the time of the flood!

Han Yu smiled suspiciously, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't find the slightest sign of rescue from the Han army close at hand outside the city.

Shen Tan is not as immobile as a mountain, Meng Da is not as immobile as a mountain,

Only Deng Tong and Ding Li, who were under Liu Chan, took the initiative to support.

The fire is raging, Liu Feng has fallen into despair,

In particular, the fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the scene is out of control.

Seeing that it was Deng Tong and Ding Li under A Dou who came on fire, Liu Feng subconsciously roared:

"Don't come here, Hugh will take care of me!"

"I, Liu Feng, humiliated the country, what face do I have to see my father and Adou again, let me die here!"

Deng Tong: ......

Ding Li smiled and sighed:

"I said, General, aren't you curious how we got in?"

"The general is the elder brother of the crown prince, if the general dies here in vain,

Some people in later history books will say that it was the prince who colluded with the Wei army to set fire to the general.

The prince is good at the method of fire attack, how can he not be guarded,

The thief army still dares to do this method of fire attack, it is really Luban playing with an axe in front of the door. ”

Deng Tong: "Guan Gong plays a big knife in front of the door!" ”

"Talk cautiously in front of Ma Yan."

"Changdiao is more doorway than escape!"

Liu Feng: ......

Where did Adou find these people, do you want this?

Upstream, Cao Hong had already secretly approached Xinye and was ready to go.

The sentry saw that the Xinye fire lit up the night, and knew that it was the dead soldiers in the city who had succeeded, so they immediately sent a message to Cao Hong with a fast horse.

Cao Hong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Cao Jun in the upper reaches of the river to dig up the embankment, and the cold water immediately rolled towards Xinye!

Now is the dry season of the water, and the water flow is not large.

Cao Hong really deceived everyone by storing water upstream, and the big water with ice cubes rolled down, and Xinye City immediately became a Ze country.

Although it was not as shocking as Guan Yushui's attack on the ban, it was enough to cause great psychological damage to the besieging troops in winter.

Now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should be struggling in the water and fire sandwich, right?

Cao Hong showed a smug smile and ordered the whole army to assault,

The elite tigers and leopards of Cao Wei's Chinese army took the lead, and the 50,000 troops of the Wei army launched a decisive attack on Guan Yu's Northern Expeditionary troops!

After Guan Yu learned that Niu Jin had broken through, he had been searching for this Wei general.

Niu Jin asked Deng Ai and others to lead the army to break through to the north, which really attracted a lot of Guan Yu's attention for a time.

But Guan Yu reacted quickly, and while chasing and killing the Wei army that broke through to the north, he personally led the army to search for Niu Jin's traces.

But he still underestimated Niu Jin's ability.

Niu Jin, who had been prepared for a long time, made up a thief, and really deceived Guan Yu's sight for a while-

You must know that Guan Yu has summoned a lot of bandits and bandits to help in this Northern Expedition, and it is impossible for everyone to know Guan Erye with so many bandits.

And Xinye's raging fire also made Niu Jin clench his fists excitedly.

When Cao Hong's troops arrive, I will see how Guan Yu's army, which has become a mess, will fight!

Guan Yu's Northern Expeditionary Army had 50,000, and the army led by Cao Hong also had 50,000.

The momentum of the 50,000-strong rapid march was very huge, especially the vanguard tiger and leopard cavalry advanced with great strength, fearlessly dispersing a large number of bandits summoned by Guan Yu, and directly colliding with Guan Yu's army.

Although the tiger and leopard cavalry is not a heavy cavalry that kills infantry like chickens in later generations, on the plain, Guan Yu's army, which is dominated by infantry, can indeed not block Cao Hong's impact.

A large number of Han troops fell one after another, and there was a tragic battle everywhere.

Xinye is both water and fire, Guan Yu has lost the ability to retreat to Xinye and defend the city.

The tiger and leopard cavalry took the opportunity to march and almost split Guan Yu's Northern Expeditionary Army into two sections!

"Hahahaha, hahaha, Guan Yu Pifu, I see how you deal with it today!"

Cao Hong is also a battle-hardened field,

He saw that Guan Yujun was already really flustered,

Their rear ranks were unstable, and the front army was crushed,

Next is the bloody plot of General Cao leading the army to chase and drive Guan Yu all the way to Jiangnan.

Guan Yu has begun to retreat, and Zhang Feijun has not appeared.

Cao Hong sped up the speed of his horse and chased after Guan Yu.

The brave Wei army chased all the way to the foot of Xinye City, and the rushing Han army was almost overwhelmed.

But at this time, the shocking changes on the battlefield were abrupt,

Cao Hong was chasing fast, and suddenly saw a boulder flying overhead.

He didn't react to what was going on for a while, but after a while, Cao Jun's rear team actually let out a terrible wail.

As soon as Cao Hong turned around, he saw several cavalry smashed people on their backs, some of them fell to the ground, some were smashed into pulp on the spot, and some were shocked to the ground, crying and screaming.

It's a thunderbolt......

Thunderbolt attacks on soldiers in the field are a common tactic, and Cao Hong was not too surprised.

However, when he looked far away, he actually found that the trebuchet of the Han army was still a hundred steps away, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

So far?

How do they do it?
