Six days.

Zhang Jianxiong's department and Cao Han's department held each other across the river for six days, and they were blocked on the other side of the river by others.

Cao Han has the ability, and the cleverness of blocking is one thing, but the root is still the problem of the Qin army's own troops.

The Xingyuan army is mainly infantry, and this infantry is also divided into two categories, Zhao Shanbao's Shanyue Battalion and Shi Cheng's Wudang Flying Army, it is okay to cross mountains and mountains with their eyes closed, but the ability to flow the river is much worse, and the troops of Tie Zhan and Wu Jilie, with their temperament, are embarrassed to enter the camp gate if they weigh less than one hundred and five.

As for Li Danjue's cavalry, the horses can swim in the water, but the people are all circle-legged.

I wanted to move south and start the mountain warfare that my department was best at, but because of the meridian, the rear baggage was constantly transported, and even the siege ladders were prepared.

However, Zhang Jixiong is not in a hurry, as he himself said, how can there be a "thousand days of defense" truth, besides, this Bashui riverbed is like a string of gourds, and it is the dry season at the same time, and there are wide and shallow places, feints to attack the downstream in the morning, move upstream in the afternoon, and then eat after dinner in the evening, and the soldiers and civilians on the other side of the river will not stop, one day and two days, six days in a row, and the gods are also weak.

The fundamental reason why his department did not move closer to the main force in the northwest and hit Lantian in the east was that this was the south gate of Guanzhong, and if Lantian was occupied, Wuguandao would be cut off, and the four arteries would be lost all of a sudden, and the Jingzhao Mansion with four hands and four feet would become a one-armed man without legs.

Early in the morning, when the tent was raised, a scout flew to him: "Report...... The enemy army was reinforced, and in the middle of last night, 5,000 elite infantry were stationed in Lantian County, with the banner of the crane and the main general Cheng Xi. ”

Shi Cheng slapped his thigh: ", the enemy has reinforcements?" ”

"I'm afraid, I can't do how many infantry come in the field, General Zhang, or I will cross the river today."

"General Li, don't be in a hurry, grind him for a few more days, our army will confront the enemy, and the strategic goal will also be achieved, why bother with more casualties, our original plan will not change...... Tie Zhan and Wu Jilie listened to orders. ”

"Yes."

As soon as the two men stood up, the light in the tent suddenly dimmed.

"Your unit made a feint ten miles upstream today, and delayed until three o'clock to return."

"Order."

"Shi Cheng, Meng Xing."

"Yes."

"Your troops set off at all moments and make a feint five miles downstream."

"Order."

Zhang Jianxiong turned his head and smiled at Li Danjue: "General Li, you should send a few more teams of rangers to pay close attention to the situation on the other side." ”

"Okay."

"So be it, the rest of the troops rest in the camp, and they must not wander around, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time."

"No."

In the sonorous sound of the nail leaves, the generals came out of the tent, and the tent was suddenly empty, Zhang Jianxiong sat alone for a while, drank a cup of strong tea, and then copied the war knife out of the tent.

The warm winter sun is still dazzling, but the heat is not much thinner, in the distance, where the sun does not shine, there is a light gray frost, and a faint mist rises from the ground, accompanied by the smoke of the owl cooking, slowly drifting into the air.

If there was no roar of war horses and no sonorous sound of nail leaves, what a beautiful morning it would be!

Zhang Jianxiong is already in his fifties, and when he reaches a certain age, he likes to miss the old and the past, and he looks at the dense place on the other side of the river, thinking that this battle will be fought for two more years at most, and he should tell the old man to return to his hometown and take his grandson.

Fighting, killing, killing, tired of it.

He stepped out of the gate, came to the riverside, and climbed up a big rock, this slightly round boulder, which has become his headquarters in the past few days, and has already placed a bamboo tube of strong tea and a hug of red dates on it.

He just went up to the big stone, and saw the dust rolling in the south of Lantian County, obviously a large army was dispatched, and after a while, the scout probe: "Report...... The enemy Cheng Xi's department went straight to the south, in the direction of Lantian Mountain. ”

"Huh? Want to outflank? ”

Zhang Jianxiong frowned, and immediately vetoed this idea, outflanking the matter alone, which is equivalent to looking for death, otherwise he would have sent an advance team to cross the river long ago, but what is the intention of the enemy army to move to Lantian Mountain?

"Youtu."

"No."

Zhang Jianxiong took the map, his eyes first swept to Muwuguan, and then looked at Shangzhou, thinking that it would not be Shangzhou bandits, but how could the bandits use five thousand elites to suppress it, could it be...... The three armies of the southern camp and the horse infantry have come over?

He patted his head, and then he realized that he had neglected the situation in the southern mountains, "Come on, order the Zhaoshan Leopard Department to send more scouts to the direction of Muwu Pass to investigate, if there is news of friendly troops, the arrow relay will fly, and act immediately." ”

"No."

The guards quickly ran to give the order, and Li Danqi was coming over with a wine gourd, and was stunned when he heard the words: "Friendly army, where did the friendly army come from?" ”

"The enemy-controlled crane army is the elite of the four armies of the forbidden army, stationed in Lantian County last night, and went straight to Lantian Mountain this morning, there is a big problem, you must know that after Lantian Mountain, it is Muwu Pass, and there is a suspicion that there are my friendly troops in Shangzhou, otherwise, you can't use such elites."

“…… Are you saying that Jia Yuanjing, who was camping in the south, fought back? ”

"There is this possibility, otherwise, what will this elite team do in the south."

"He's good, if that's the case, then there's a good show to see, isn't my department ......?"

"Don't worry, first sentinel clear and then decide."

……

On the east bank of Bashui, Cao Han stood with his back to the river, watching Cheng Yu go away, and sadness surged into his heart.

He also learned the news of the invasion of Shangzhou by the Qin Jiayin Department yesterday afternoon, and while cursing the incompetence of the guards, he planned to draw out two battalions of troops to assist in guarding Muwu Pass, as long as Muwu Pass was held, the enemy army could not enter the pass, and Shangzhou would be in chaos no matter how chaotic it was.

How do you know that the soldiers here have not yet set off, Chang'an sent reinforcements to arrive, well, Lao Tzu is too lazy to worry about it, and when the battle is over, Lao Tzu will ask again, why the war has been reported to Lantian but not reported, and his appointment to deploy the southern camp has not informed the neighboring states.

It's useless to slander like this, after complaining, you have to do what you have to do.

At the time of Shen Zheng in the afternoon, he was commanding his subordinates to intercept the Qin army that wanted to cross the river, but there was a scout flying report, and Cheng Xi's troops were ambushed in the chaotic stone fork and returned in defeat......

"Bastard, five thousand elites, how did he bring the soldiers, Muwuguan?"

"...... ...... have been lost"

Cao Han only felt that the heavens and the earth were swirling, and he protected the pole, so he stabilized his body and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Where is Tan Xiong." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead 3,000 men and horses, quickly go to the valley to answer, have swords and guns in your hands, defend on the spot, those who lose their armor and abandon their armor, behead, those who cry and disturb the army, behead, those who do not listen to orders, behead."

"Order."

As soon as the three thousand men and horses moved, the dust was all over the sky, and the Qin army on the other side of the bank could see it clearly.

Zhang Jianxiong stood up from the boulder and slapped his hands heavily, "Although my scout has not heard back, but watching the enemy's movements, there will be a big battle in the direction of Muwuguan, and Zhao Shanbao listens to the order." ”

"Yes."

"Rate the headquarters, march in the direction of Muwu Pass, if you encounter our army, you must meet it."

"Order."

Zhao Shanbao received the general's order and was about to order troops, but he saw someone rolling like smoke and dust in the distance, "reporting ......"

Zhao Shanbao fixed his eyes and saw that it was the scout of the headquarters, and he slapped him angrily first, "Damn, the arrow won't be released!" ”

The scout ran out of breath: "General...... It's General A...... General A...... General A has captured Muwu Pass, and it was he who asked us not to fly, saying that it was not clear, so let ...... Let our army just stab ...... Enemy ass ...... Steady ...... on his side"

Zhao Shanbao raised his long arm and screamed strangely: "...... It turned out to be Huzi, Huzi is here, brothers...... Go with so-and-so......"

Zhang Jianxiong raised his eyebrows: "Wow, Muwu Pass was taken by Huzi, if you choke the enemy's throat, Cao Han wants to do a doppelganger plan, there is no door, leopard, don't go, the plan is changed, the order is sent downstream, Shi Chengbu will feign for a real attack, the Iron War Department will continue to operate upstream, and the other departments will be prepared within a quarter of an hour, Ye Husheng, your crossbowmen are responsible for suppressing the enemy's firepower, we will advance in three directions, and cross the river in one go." ”

"Order."
