Tang Yuan couldn't beat Tang Xiao, after all, Tang Xiao was the boss, and he talked too much, it was easy to make the big handsome angry, so he had no choice but to give up the stalemate battle and start to break through positively.

This breakout battle was fought too badly, and after breaking through Guan Xiong, both sides suffered heavy losses, just like two bricks for hedging, although they both passed the opponent's defense, but they also lost a large piece.

Tang Yuan continued to support Bai Ke with 15,000 men, and Guan Xiong supported Huang Hua with similar troops.

At this time, the vanguard Lin Chongyang's department was storming the small city of Huanghua, but it couldn't bite it, all kinds of methods had been used, and there were still enemy troops on the small city to resist.

A dozen is five days.

Tang Xiao was furious and ordered Zhang Pan to lead 30,000 people to attack the city instead of Lin Chongyang, so that Lin Chongyang could withdraw his troops and rest.

Although Tang Xiao led many troops, the roads in the mountains were narrow, and the large troops could not be used, so they could only wait for the news in front, but they could not rush forward.

It took nearly a month to fight a small yellow flower town, but it took more than 50,000 people to gnaw it down.

And Bai Ke also failed to take Fengzhou City, Tang Yuan and Bai Ke together, defeated Huanghua.

Huanghuacheng has been beaten to a dilapidated state, like a beacon tower in disrepair, and recently caught up with heavy rains, and soon after another outbreak of plague, the whole army was scattered and stationed, scattering the epidemic.

As a result, at this time, the enemy general Guan Xiong brought another 50,000 people, each of whom broke through and attacked the Liang army's Dazhai.

It took another half a month in the heavy rain, and as a result, a large-scale epidemic broke out on both sides, and each city could not be released.

Seeing that it was September, the army was stagnant, and the marshal Tang Xiao was at a loss, so worried that he could not sleep and eat, and even had the intention of retiring from the army.

"Even if you continue to move forward, you won't be able to catch up with the autumn harvest, so it's better to go back for the time being and come back next spring." Tang Xiao said.

Cao Shengdao, the superintendent: "Don't be anxious, since we are here, it is not appropriate to withdraw our troops without being hit hard." In fact, it is difficult for us now, and it is also difficult for Liu Xun. Although there is a lot of grain in Hanzhong, but where can it support the expenses of 200,000 people, he must transport grain from Sichuan and Shu, you must know that Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, they transport food consumption is huge, the speed is very slow, as long as we block Fengzhou, block his way eastward, he is actually more anxious than us, if we withdraw now, he will immediately attack Chencang, and then attack Chang'an, then we will be passive. Therefore, now we must hold Huanghua City no matter what, and we must not let him pass. ”

But now, the battle is not easy to fight, Liu Xun is very tolerant, even if he is hungry, he will not come out, just guard in Fengzhou City, if Tang Xiao sends someone to fight, Liu Xun will send reinforcements to harass, he is in a good position, a rain of arrows down, the Liang army will suffer heavy losses, this kind of play Tang Xiao will not be fooled.

But he had no other way.

At this time, Tang Yuan came to see Tang Xiao and said, "These days, I asked the scouts to go out to inquire, in fact, there is a small road to walk, but the baggage troops will definitely not be able to pass." I thought that if an army could bypass Fengzhou and attack Xingzhou behind Fengzhou, Liu Xun immediately panicked. ”

Tang Xiao knew the map of Hanzhong well, he didn't even look at it and said directly: "If there are too many people, it will not work, and it is useless if there are fewer people, I have already thought about this method of yours." ”

"But you didn't." Tang Yuan said.

Tang Xiao stared at Tang Yuan and was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by this?" Is it up to you to give this task and you can complete it? ”

Tang Yuan sighed and said: "They have also set up an ambush on the path, if you want to go over, you have to pay ten times the price, but their garrison is only a hundred people, in other words, we need to sacrifice the strength of a regiment, and the rest is only walking." Let the soldiers bring more dry food, I think we can rush to Mingshui, kill there, intercept the Shu army Liang Dao, we grab food to eat, and you can take advantage of the Shu army to withdraw the army, all the way to cover up. ”

Tang Xiao turned around and looked at the map carefully, drew on the sand table again, and said, "Then try it, you don't have to worry about losing, I will give you a credit if you lose." Just hope you come back alive. ”

After two fierce battles and another outbreak of the epidemic, Tang Yuan's troops were left with less than 10,000 people, and now the casualties of the Left Route Army were the largest, and it looked more like a division. Tang Yuan himself even made jokes about himself, saying that he was born to be a general, and if there were many people under him, he would not be able to fight.

Now that he had returned from a seemingly impossible mission, the generals in the military tent were speechless.

They had to climb over the Rolling Horse Ridge before they could walk on the road to Mingshui, but that road was too difficult to walk, the garrison of the Rolling Horse Ridge was almost standing on the top of the mountain, and that road was almost climbing on the cliff, as long as people stood on it and still had stones, it was enough to stop the Liang army, but Tang Yuan had to go this way, wasn't this looking for death?

Seeing that the generals were in a low mood, Tang Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, I have already thought of a way, otherwise how could I run to Tang Xiao and ask for this task." Nowadays, everyone thinks that this is an impossible task, but if we do it, wouldn't it be a miracle? ”

"Hey, Xiaofeng, there are no outsiders in the house, don't sell it, say, what good can you do?" Tang Hu said sullenly.

Tang Yuan said: "Guess, who is the centurion stationed in Rolling Horse Ridge?" ”

Everyone was confused, but at this time, Nalan Xin smiled and said, "Could it be some old man?" ”

Tang Yuan said: "That centurion turned out to be the cousin of a centurion in our army. This news is still the credit of scout Feng Pegasus, after he got the enemy's arrangement, he asked in the army if he knew this group of people, but God opened his eyes, his cousin was in our army. is named Li Hua, it turned out to be the Jingzhou Flying Tiger Army sequence, Jingzhou is relatively close to Hanzhong, and the two of them are cousins. I asked Li Hua to take the risk to meet the centurion and promised the high-ranking officials to be generous, and the other party has already agreed, as long as he is willing to fight back, our good days will come! ”

When Tang Yuan sent out the troops, Tang Xiao also sweated for him, who knew that this kid passed through Rolling Horse Ridge without a single soldier, and everyone even thought that Tang Yuan flew over. Exclaim the man of God.

The enemy did not expect that a force would rush over there, and some even said that the hundred men might as well retreat, and the enemy would not be able to climb up at all.

As a result, now that the 100 people not only did not play a defensive role, but instead became helpers, using long hemp ropes to help Liang Jun pull up the war horse.

After passing through the Rolling Horse Ridge, Tang Yuan led his troops all the way to the south, heading towards the small city of Mingshui.
