Chapter 290: The Marquis of Changping had no choice but to make a plan

Outside the west gate of Kunyang City, another water bridge.

The Han army was not fortified here, and it was a way for the Kunyang defenders to retreat on their own.

But the Kunyang defenders did not cherish it, but it was convenient for Zhang He's forward troops, although he was in charge of more than 30,000 Luoyang Chinese troops, but at this moment he could reach the battlefield, and he personally commanded only to see the five thousand foot cavalry.

When the Beifu military camp raised a fire to warn, Zhang He was still waiting for the ambush sent by Xiahou Shang, and in less than ten breaths, Zhang Fei followed the fire and drums in the Beiying camp next to the water.

Where can you wait any longer?

The Wei troops sounded their trumpets one after another, attacking all the areas where there were lights.

More than 1,000 people from Zhang He's headquarters marched forward with drums, and the drums were used as a symbol to convey the location of the formation to each team.

In the sound of rumbling drums, Zhang He successfully broke through the simple fence here and broke into the camp to fight with the Han soldiers.

There were also scattered detachments that crossed the North Camp and harassed Zhang Fei's base camp outside the east gate of Kunyang.

Zhang Fei stared at the torch team swimming outside the camp, and said to Yu Pan beside him: "Sir, this must be a suspicious soldier." ”

Yu flipped the spear in his hand: "Duke Wei, please also allocate five hundred armor soldiers, Yu will go to meet this enemy captive." ”

"How can you take the risk, sir?"

Zhang Fei put the helmet on his head and tied the helmet: "I'll go to fight, Mr. will dispatch in the center, and the commander will respond." ”

"No, a little thief, how can you go to Wei Gong in person?"

Yu raised his hand and grabbed Zhang Fei's shoulder: "If you want to go, Yu will go, how can Wei Gong's daughter be in danger?" ”

More than a dozen middle and high-ranking military officials followed behind him, and were about to ask for battle, when Zhang Fei's eyes rolled up slightly and thought: "Why don't I and my husband each lead three battalions of soldiers, divide the left and right to rescue the northern camp, and see where this Wei army comes from." ”

His face was suspicious between his words, and he couldn't understand how Cao Hong dared to attack at night.

Cao Hong's situation there is not a secret, but the heavy rain obstructs the way, and it is impossible to surround and eat Cao Hong.

After thinking about it, it can only be speculated that Cao Hong and Sima Yi's headquarters are attacking, and only their respective headquarters have this kind of night attack ability.

If you are not an elite soldier, you are not qualified to fight at night.

For ordinary county soldiers, being able to march at night is already one of the first-class top soldiers.

Ye County, Guan Yu climbed high and looked at it, his expression was calm, and it was not surprising that the current Wei army could only fight a night attack.

The elite troops of the Wei army had relatively stable morale and geographical advantages, so they did not dare to fight frontal field battles, so they had to rely on night battles to motivate the county soldiers.

It is not only to motivate the soldiers of the county, but also to motivate the ministers in the court of Wei...... If the ministers have no confidence in Da Wei, then it is not difficult to understand that some other strange things have happened.

After the surrounding area of Wankou is developed and stabilized, the collapsed and dead intelligence network in the Wei State will inevitably recover and condense automatically, and continue to convey military intelligence to the Han army.

Guan Yu didn't watch the battle for long, but he saw that the area of Ma Chaozuo's army camp in the east was also beating drums and erecting more torches to warn Guan Yu.

Could it be that this is a joint counteroffensive by various departments of the Wei army?

Impossible, when Sun Quan did not end up and did not pull the Wu army to the periphery of the battlefield, the chances of the Wei army launching a decisive battle were very low.

The decisive battle can be fought, and before the fight, the Han army must first abolish the Wu army, and the Wei army will force the Wu army to come forward and consume.

If the Wu army never participates in the war, it will be difficult for the decisive battle to break out, and it will be constantly delayed.

If Wu Jun is not solved, no one is willing to let go of their hands and feet.

On the east bank of Lishui, Cao Xiu personally led more than 1,000 cavalry to converge with Xue Qiao, the captain of the Yue cavalry, and gathered more than 5,000 cavalry, dining on standby, waiting for fighters.

After Yan Pu, Li Xu, Li Zhen and the remnants of Le Qi, who had withdrawn to the east bank, were reorganized, they launched a night attack and harassment on seven camps of Ma Chao at this moment, and it was only harassment.

The Wei troops of the battalions south of Wuyang, Cao Xiu's base camp, had already packed up their bags at the third watch, and together with Pei Qian's troops in Runan, they also packed up and retreated eastward.

Pei Qian came from the rear on horseback, with a sad face: "Marquis Changping, do you really want to entrust the three counties of Runan and Yiyang to Wu thieves?" ”

"This national strategy is agreed on in the temple, and it is easier for me to do so."

Cao Xiu has lost weight twice since the first battle of Weishui, and his eyes are no longer bright and bright: "But there is a difficulty? ”

"Yes, since the military order came to Runan, all the battalions have cried and mourned, regardless of the officers, and now the cries in the camp are connected...... Many officials abandoned the army and fled, and the battalions and soldiers also turned a blind eye or thought about returning to their hearts. ”

Pei Qian's expression was sad and angry: "The country abandons the soldiers and civilians of the three counties as thieves, how can you expect the soldiers and civilians of the three counties to have the heart to serve the country?" ”

The Yuzhou Auxiliary Corps is on the verge of disintegration, and it has reached the point where the law enforcement officers are slack in military law, unwilling to enforce the law, and let the officers under their command flee.

Most of the family members of the law enforcement officers are in Qiupei or Yecheng, and they can't escape, they can't escape, and their families can't escape.

Now they are unwilling to enforce military law to restrain the disintegration of the army, and they do not dare to enforce military law.

If the military law is enforced, it is very likely to trigger a mutiny in the Yuzhou Auxiliary Corps, or even a collective change of banners.

How can such an army still be transferred to the Xudu area to participate in the war?

Transferred them to the area of Xudu and allowed the Wu army to enter and occupy the three counties of Yiyang and Runan...... How could the whole army be relieved?

It may be that the front foot walks, and the back foot Wu army will carry out Sun Quan's order to empty the three counties, so that these sergeants and their families will be separated forever.

With Guan Yu's personality charm, he can't let the sergeant abandon his family, let alone the Wei generals at this moment.

Pei Qian's grief was of no avail, except for the auxiliary soldiers of Yingchuan County, Chen County, Liang, and Qian Pei, who still retained the formation, the officials of the remaining three counties scattered in a hurry in the night, or fled together.

There are more than 20,000 auxiliary troops in Yuzhou, which have collapsed since Deng Ai's escape.

Is there a way for Cao Xiu?

There is no way, this is something that Cao Cao can't do, everyone knows that military service is fortunate, and Cao Cao himself knows that even if he is very sad, he still chooses to implement military law and punish desertion.

There is no time for punishment or energy to prosecute deserters.

As the saying goes, the law does not hold the public accountable, and the cost of law enforcement is too high to afford.

In this way, under the noses of the Wei army, the Han army, and the Wu army, the first formed army collapsed.

Upon learning of this, Cao Xiu and Pei Qian could only retreat and give up waiting.

When it was dawn, there might not be a chance for cavalry to fight, so it was better to retreat early and take over Cao Ren's defense in the area of Xudu.

Cao Xiu could only arrange more suspicious troops, and let Yan Pu and others, who participated in the battle and harassed Ma Chao, evacuate to the east with great fanfare, hoping to lead Ma Chao to pursue, but also hoping to end the matter here as soon as possible and throw this mess to the Wu army.

If the Wu army does not take over, then the Han army will take advantage of the situation and fight down the upper reaches of the Rushui River, what will the Wu army take to top?

No matter how much the Wu army ate before, it was possible that the Han army would spit it out.

This is determined by the trend of Rushui and Huaishui, and it is also determined by the combat effectiveness between the Han army and the Wu army.

If you can't say that Shouchun and Hefei are not good, they will also be taken away by the Han army...... The Han army took it away, so that the Han army and the Wu army would be entangled, and the Wu army could at least hold back about 50,000 Han troops, which was one-third or one-quarter of the Han army's field troops.

Discarding the three counties and replacing the Han army with 50,000 troops, and reducing the Han army by 30,000 or 50,000 on the frontal battlefield will produce essential changes. So this matter is emotionally difficult to accept, but if you calculate the accounts, no matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss.

On the other side, Sima Yi defeated Wu Yi's battalion, but Wu Yi's body was still snatched and taken away by the Han army.

But Sima Yi got the Han army's military books that Wu Yi had too late to destroy in his big tent, and there was a ball of wine-stained silk books on the table.

Sima Shi accompanied him to the battle, and when he saw this silk book, he was pleasantly surprised: "Father! Look! ”
