Chapter 425: Ambush

Jiang Wei is familiar with the geography of Hanzhong, and for him, this is his home field, and he can fully play the advantages of the right time, place and people, and perform to his heart's content.

With all three advantages in place, can this battle still be won?

After the whale devoured these small forces of the Wei army, Jiang Wei was not too satisfied, and he was looking forward to playing a big vote, rather than making a small fight like now.

What made Jiang Wei greedy was the main army of the Wei army besieging Hancheng, which was the army personally commanded by Cao Shuang, the general of Wei, if he could break this army and capture Cao Shuang alive, the credit would be great.

But before Fei Yi's reinforcements arrived, it was quite difficult for Jiang Wei's troops alone to eat the main force of the Wei army, which numbered nearly fifty or sixty thousand people, so Jiang Wei didn't make a move to swallow the elephant as soon as his brain was hot, even if Cao Shuang took the initiative to evacuate, Jiang Wei did not pursue them, but let them leave.

Jiang Wei has already locked the target of the attack, that is, the Xiahou overlord who withdrew from Yang'an Pass, and now the Xiahou overlord has less than 30,000 people after the battle of Yang'an Pass, such a scale, neither fat nor thin, is exactly what Jiang Wei's appetite is.

Xiahou Ba's troops came from Yang'an Pass, the westernmost part of Han, the farthest distance, and the longest time, Jiang Wei of course knew that their purpose was to meet Cao Shuang in Seoul, but in fact, Xiahou Ba's wish was completely disappointed, Cao Shuang was already like a frightened bird at this time, and he didn't dare to stay in the area of Hancheng, and he didn't wait to meet Xiahou Ba, so he led the army to the direction of Lecheng.

Jiang Wei didn't have a chance to fight Cao Shuang's idea, but he unexpectedly got the opportunity to block Xiahouba, for Jiang Wei, who was eager to make a contribution, he naturally refused to give up this opportunity in vain, so he actively deployed defenses in the area of Seoul, preparing to wipe out Xiahouba in one fell swoop.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, Jiang Wei has always pursued this kind of war of annihilation, even if it is against a small force of the Wei army, he will go all out to fight the war of annihilation as much as possible, so that no one of them can escape.

If the annihilation of those small Wei army teams can be regarded as cutting off a few fingers of Cao Shuang, then if Xiahou Ba can be successfully annihilated this time, it will at least be equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Shuang's arms, which will be a heavy blow to the Wei army.

"For more than 20 years, Huang Hansheng was ranked among the five tiger generals by killing Xiahou Yuan, and if he can behead his son again now, it will be a miracle." Jiang Wei squinted his eyes and looked to the west, and a slight smile appeared in the corner of his eye.

More than 20 years ago, Xiahou Yuan died in Dingjun Mountain, which fulfilled the prestige of the veteran Huang Zhong, and this time his son Xiahou Ba came to Hanzhong to die, Jiang Wei was naturally willing to send him to reunite with Xiahou Yuan under Jiuquan.

At this time, the Chinese army came to report: "General Qiyu, General Zhang Yi on the left and Liao Hua on the right led 10,000 horses each to reinforce it. ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him.

After Fei Yi evacuated from Yang'an Pass, he led his army into the trail and went straight to Dingjun Mountain. It's just that the small road is narrow, and the army can't all pass for a while, so Fei Yi sent Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses each, and move forward lightly, while he led a large team of men and horses and escorted grain and grass to carry heavy baggage, and slowly moved behind.

Zhang Yi Liaohua saw Jiang Wei, dismounted and stepped forward to worship.

Jiang Wei took the hands of the two of them and laughed: "Bo Gong and Yuan Jian came at the right time, just in time to help me capture and kill the anti-Wei general Xiahou Ba." ”

On Xiahou Ba's side, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, which is roughly the same as the men and horses led by Jiang Wei, even if Jiang Wei adds Wang Ping's troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely annihilate Xiahou Ba. Now that Zhang Yi and Liao Hua arrived first, they could just make up for Jiang Wei's lack of troops, and Jiang Wei was more confident in fighting this battle.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Traveling all the way, the army led by Xiahou Ba was not far from Seoul.

In addition to Zhou Yue's troops, along the way, Cao Liang also found two other places where the Shu army was completely annihilated, each of which killed the Shu army, all of them were about 1,000 people, the same violent corpse wilderness, and the battlefield was not cleaned.

Obviously, the tragic encounter of Zhou Yuebu is not the only one, and now the army in Hanzhong that came out alone to carry out the task was attacked by the Shu army in a planned way, and once attacked, it was completely annihilated, which shows that the Shu army's actions were premeditated, concentrating superior forces, and breaking the enemy army, Jiang Wei's art of war is really familiar.

However, what made Cao Liang strange was that along the way, all he encountered were battlefield ruins, all he saw were corpses, and he did not encounter any Shu army, as if the Shu army that had attacked had disappeared at this moment.

Is it because they didn't find this Shu army or because of the huge number of this Shu army, the Shu army can't eat it, so they take the initiative to avoid it?

It is obviously impossible not to find it, the scale of this Shu army is not small, and if Jiang Wei is not deaf or blind, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

But along the way, he was not attacked by the Shu army in any form, and Xiahou Ba was still glad for it, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Wei army camp in Seoul, Xiahou Ba's tense nerves could finally relax a little.

But Cao Liang didn't let up, with his understanding of Jiang Wei, he was known for his boldness, and it was really not Jiang Wei's style to put such a large piece of fat without doing anything.

If it is not expected, Jiang Wei's attack will happen quickly, and if Jiang Wei does not appear, then he will definitely not be surnamed Jiang.

But now that it is getting closer and closer to Seoul, it is obviously unwise for Jiang Wei to make a move here, and it is easy to be attacked by the Wei army in front and rear, which is a taboo in the art of war.

Cao Liang had a bad premonition in his heart, if Jiang Wei dared to do it here, then he must have nothing to fear, so it seems that Cao Shuang's army is probably no longer in Seoul.

Although the ability to be annihilated is small, but the possibility of withdrawal is infinitely large, Cao Shuang may see that the situation is unfavorable, in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, it is not surprising to make a retreat at this time.

"Xiahou Protector, I'm afraid this Seoul can't go, or I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead."

General Xiahou Ba said suspiciously: "It's unlikely, there are still fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in the camp, no matter how powerful Jiang Wei is, it is impossible to win so many large groups of men and horses, right?" ”

While the two were talking, the scout came to report that the Wei army was ten miles away and was rapidly attacking them, almost a moment later.

It should come, it will still come!
