Chapter 842: Veteran Huang Zhong (Middle)
Between the lightning and flint, Huang Zhong violently withdrew the red knife in his hand, and blocked it in time when the blade of the gun was only a millimeter away from his face. Huang Zhong glared violently, shouted angrily, and struggled to swing away the gentian bright silver spear with his knife. Zhao Yun took advantage of his strength and continued to fight with Huang Zhong.
At this moment, suddenly Zhao Yun's shout behind him was startled. It turned out that Ma Chao and Yan Yan copied behind Zhao Junjun from the path. Take one of the two directions, and kill them with the left and right wings. Zhao Yun's face changed drastically, he shouted shamelessly, fought back Huang Zhong, and hurried back to the formation. Huang Zhong also didn't know why Ma Chao and Yan Yan suddenly killed behind Zhao Yunjun. Huang Zhong was surprised, and when he closed Zhang Ren, he saw that Huang Zhong didn't know how to shoot arrows, and missed this great opportunity, so he shouted loudly. But the distance between the two was too far, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield broke out again. Huang Zhong didn't hear it at all. When Huang Zhong came back to his senses, Zhao Yun had already returned to the formation and led the army to break through and leave. Seeing this, Huang Zhong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the situation to cover up. The Xichuan army surrounded him from three roads, Zhao Yun danced the gentian and bright silver spear, danced impermeable, rushed left and right, and flew in the crowd of Xichuan, and escaped with a bloody way.
Ma Chao and Yan Yan quickly led troops to chase and kill, and Huang Zhong also came from all the way to kill. The Xichuan Army pursued and killed until the Northwest Army Dazhai, and suddenly two cannons rang out in unison, which was deafening. The crossbowmen who were ambushed in the two roads frantically pulled their bows and shot arrows, Ma Chao and Yan Yan were chasing quickly, but they were unexpectedly shot and killed. Zhao Yunfu came back to kill, and first came to Yan Yan, Yan Yan resisted for a while, retreated and left. Ma Chao saw that the situation was not good, and he also retreated quickly. Zhao Yun counterattacked for a while, recovered the remnants of the army, and retreated into the village. After a while, Huang Zhong arrived, and Ma Chao and Yan Yan came to kill him. Zhao Yun hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows to resist, and Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Yan Yan were very brave in the rain of arrows. Cheng Gongying was in the village, commanding the pikemen, resisting the entrance of the village, and whenever there was a Xichuan cavalry to kill, he stabbed him with a gun. The two armies fought until late at night, and the sky fell apart before a truce.
The Xichuan army won a small victory and returned to Jiameng Pass. Zhang Ren thought that he could break the other army, but he learned from Ma Chao that Zhao Yun had already prepared and ambushed an army outside the village, so he did not seriously damage his army. Zhang Ren's face sank when he heard this, and after a while of silence, he sighed.
"It seems that my junior brother can't be defeated so easily!"
Zhang Ren sighed, and the soldiers who ordered the soldiers to serve the food and wine that had already been prepared to reward the soldiers. The Xichuan army ushered in a long-lost victory, and the soldiers rejoiced, but Huang Zhong's face was dark, and he came to Zhang Ren and asked.
"Zhang Dudu, if you have a plan, why don't you tell the old man early!? The old man lost face in front of that Zhao Zilong!! ”
When Zhang Ren heard this, he was very displeased, and secretly said in his heart.
"Wow! I haven't asked you why you've lost your mind and missed the opportunity, you old man. You've come to question me! ”
Zhang Ren frowned and shouted coldly.
"General Huang, don't you know that soldiers are not tired of cheating. What's more, I am a general in the army, so why do I need to report to you about everything!? And when Zhao Zilong retreated today, with General Huang's archery skills, if he fired an arrow in time, it was very likely that he would be killed. General Huang missed the opportunity, I haven't offended you, but you are so presumptuous in front of me!! If you really commit the following crimes, do you know that if you are dealt with according to military law, I can punish you to death!! ”
"Zhang Guyi, you !!"
Where could Huang Zhong stand such bad luck, and he was about to reprimand Zhang Ren angrily. At this time, Liu Bei came in time, held Huang Zhong's hand, and said with a smile.
"Haha. The two generals were furious. General Zhang, I have worked tirelessly and come to Shu to resist the thief army for my brother Ji Yu, and it is for Renye. General Huang Lao is not afraid of life and death, and it is for the sake of righteousness to deal with strong enemies on the battlefield. At present, the great enemy has been pulled back for a while, and it is a good time to work together and take advantage of the situation to pursue. My brother Ji Yu is particularly dependent on General Zhang, and I hope that General Zhang will put the overall situation first, and don't live up to my brother Ji Yu's high hopes! ”
When Zhang Ren heard this, he sneered in his heart, and he didn't want to tear his face with Liu Bei, so he gave up.
"Uncle Xie Huang's teachings, Ren must keep it in mind!"
Zhang Ren finished speaking, turned around and left. Huang Zhong's resentment did not subside, and he wanted to catch up and reason with Zhang Ren, but was stopped by Liu Bei and appeased in a low voice.
At the same time, in the northwest Dazhai. That night, Zhao Yun and Cheng Gongying discussed under the tent.
Zhao Yun's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice.
"The veteran Huang Zhong is a hero, and with the help of Xichuan fierce generals Ma Chao and Yan Yan, he cannot be underestimated. If it weren't for the early preparation of the military division today, our army would have suffered heavy losses. According to the high opinion of the military division, what should our army do? ”
"The Xichuan army is helped by Huang Zhong, like a tiger with wings, and if Liu Bei really lives in Shu, there will be more than one fierce general accompanying him, Huang Zhong will not be alone. In my opinion, it is better to avoid its edge for the time being, withdraw from the village ten miles away, and reject it with deep ditches and high bases, so as to wait for the arrival of the lord's army, and then counterattack. It's the best policy! ”
Zhao Yun heard this, and said with a heavy bow.
"What the military advisor said is extremely true, and it is very much in line with my heart."
The two agreed that Zhao Yun ordered the army to withdraw that night, and Zhao Yun personally led an army to break off. By dawn the next day, Zhao Yun, who had been detained by Xichuan scouts, withdrew his troops and reported to Zhang Ren. Ma Chao, Yan Yan and other generals heard it, and they all advised Zhang Ren to send troops to pursue. Zhang Ren was cautious, and asked the scouts first, but after the soldiers and horses were broken, when he heard that Zhao Yun was leading the troops to guard in person, Zhang Ren immediately said to the generals.
Zhao Zilong saw that the situation was not good, and withdrew his troops, which shows that his mind is meticulous. Presumably, at this time, the Northwest Army had already retreated, and after Zhao Zilong personally led the army to break off, if he rushed forward, he was afraid of being ambushed. You wait for the leader to seize the village, slowly enter it, and you must not act rashly. ”
Yan Yan and Ma Chao took the order out, each led their troops to rush out of the pass, and when they were about to approach the Northwest Army Dazhai, Zhao Yun saw it, and rushed out of the battle single-handedly, shouting loudly. Ma Chao and Yan Yan glanced at each other, they were both jealous of Zhao Yunwuyong, and they thought that there was fraud in it, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
The two armies confronted each other for half an hour, Zhao Yun scolded again, rushed back into the formation, and quickly ordered the soldiers to withdraw. Ma Chao and Yan Yan waited for Zhao Yun to go away, and then they dared to order the capture of the village.
Zhao Yun withdrew his troops and retreated ten miles away, tightly guarded. The Xichuan army occupied the Northwest Army Dazhai, Zhang Ren thought that the Wenhan army was coming soon, and the big war was imminent, so he also ordered the soldiers to rest and recuperate first to prepare for the big war.
A few days later, Wenhan's army arrived, and 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered in one place, east, west, north and south, camped around, and connected for more than ten miles. The flag covered the sun, the swords and guns were like a forest, and the scouts of the Xichuan army were so frightened that they were not possessed, their faces were like earth, and they reported back to Zhang Ren in a panic. Zhang Ren and the generals of Xichuan heard that the Wenhan army was pressing, and there were 80,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were afraid and trembling.
After all, at this time, in Jiameng Pass, the Xichuan army was less than 30,000, and the soldiers in the northwest have always been known for their bravery, and the soldiers of the unified army under their command are all fierce and brave, how can they not make the Xichuan generals frightened.
Zhang Ren's expression was extremely dark, and the generals of Xichuan were even more uneasy. Liu Bei saw that the situation was very dangerous, and remembered the three tips that Zhuge Liang gave before leaving, which were red, orange, and yellow. Liu Bei first opened the red bag, and there was only a word 'grain' written on the bag.
Liu Bei looked at it, pondered for a while, and then asked Zhang Ren about the place where the Northwest Army was storing grain and grass. Zhang Ren's face changed, and he seemed to have some understanding, and immediately sent scouts to investigate.
On that day, the scouts came back and told them what they were doing.
"There is a mountain here, called Tiandang Mountain, and the mountain is the place where Wenhantun grain and grass are accumulated!"
Liu Bei listened to the words, his mind was spinning, and Zhang Rensu focused his eyes on Liu Bei. Liu Bei smiled brightly and offered advice.
"Wen Bufan waved his army to this point, 80,000 troops, day and night consumption of grain and grass is huge, if you get that place, cut off its grain and grass, food is the lifeblood of the army, and its army can be self-defeating."
Zhang Ren listened to the plan and was shocked, and his original disdain for Liu Bei suddenly disappeared a lot. Zhang Ren groaned for a while, pretending to be calm and condensed.
"Uncle Huang's words are exactly what I want. I don't know if Uncle Huang has a plan. ”
Liu Bei's eyes were shining, and the teaching was so and so. Zhang Ren was overjoyed, so he acted according to the plan, taught Ma Chao and Yan Yanyi, and each led two military horses. As for the rest of the generals, each one prepares.
The next day, Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong led the army and horses out of the camp and went straight to the Northwest Army Dazhai to kill, just when Zhao Yun led the troops and horses, the two armies were deployed in the field, Wei Yan glared at the tiger angrily, and pointed at Huang Zhong and scolded.
"Righteous old thief! Can you recognize my Northwest heroes!? ”
After Wei Yan finished drinking, he slapped the horse and danced the knife to get Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong picked up the crimson demon knife and resisted it with his horse. The two fought together, Wei Yan was young and vigorous, the offensive was fierce and masculine, and Huang Zhong's knife technique was also fierce and mighty, and the two of them killed in all directions, and the hurricane flew down. The soldiers of both armies were stunned and exclaimed. Tai Shi Ci secretly took out his bow and arrows and aimed at Wei Yan. Zhao Yun saw it, shouted, held down the gentian bright silver spear, and also picked up the bow and arrow. At this moment, the sound of strings broke out, and the arrow shot by Tai Shici turned into a flash of light, looking at Wei Yan's back and flying away.
Wei Yan heard a violent sound of breaking the sky behind him, and he was suddenly startled in his heart, knowing that someone had sent a secret arrow to sneak attack, but Huang Zhong entangled him to death, and there was no time to avoid it.
Just when it was extremely urgent, another string sound broke out, and the sound of arrows arrived, and with a bang, it shot through Tai Shici's arrow. Tai Shi Cihu's eyes froze, and his gaze turned to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun narrowed his sword eyes, rode his horse and raised his gun, and galloped away. Tai Shi Ci shouted, danced the thunder gun, and greeted Zhao Yun.
The generals of the two sides fought two by two, each fighting for more than ten times, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici all pretended to be invincible and retreated in defeat. Zhao Yun and Wei Yaner will rush more than 20 miles to recapture the original camp.
Huang Zhong and Tai Shici created another camp nearby. The next day, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led the army to arrive, and Huang Zhong and Tai Shici went out again, and each of them fought fiercely and was defeated again. The second general drove more than 20 miles and captured the Huangzhong camp. Zhao Yun informed the rear army, and Wen Han ordered Pang De to temporarily guard the back village, and at the same time secretly instructed Pang De.
Pang De rushed to Qianzhai to see Zhao Yun.
"Huang Zhong retreated for two days in a row, and there must be tricks in Yuzhong. General Zhao must be cautious. ”
Wei Yan listened to this, but smiled proudly.
"Why should General Pang be careful, our army's morale is high, it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and break the other army, how can it be lost in vain. General Pang will wait and see how General Zhao and I make contributions!! ”
Zhao Yun thought for a while, and felt that there was a lot of weirdness in it, so he ordered Wei Yan to be careful. Although Wei Yan promised in his mouth, he didn't remember it in his heart.
The next day, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led the army out of battle, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici retreated for another twenty miles, and the two generals caught up. Another day, the two generals came out, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici seemed to be killed in fear, looked at the wind and left, lost several battles in a row, and retreated directly at the pass. Zhao Yun and Wei Yaner will detain the village, and Huang Zhong will not come out. The generals of Xichuan saw that Huang Zhong was defeated again and again, and the people were panicked, and they secretly went down to see Zhang Rendao.
"Huang Zhong's old man has lost several battles in a row, and now he is retreating from the gate. The Northwest Army is sharp, how can our army resist? ”
Zhang Renzhi said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry too much, this is the strategy of the veteran's arrogant soldiers."
The generals of Xichuan did not believe it, and retreated full of worry. At the same time, due to the unfavorable war situation recently, many generals and colonels of Xichuan have even secretly defected to the Northwest Army. Liu Bei secretly looked at it, came to see Huang Zhong at night, and asked softly.
"Hansheng, what is the layout now? Nowadays, the people in the Xichuan army are panicking, if they can't win a big victory early, they are afraid that something will happen sooner or later. ”
Huang Zhong smiled when he heard this.
"Uncle Huang doesn't have to worry about it. Look at the old man tonight for a while, he can return to the camp and take his food and horses. This is a borrowing village and Bitun heavy ears. Tonight, as long as General Zhang guards the pass, Uncle Huang can allocate an army and move grain and grass with me to seize horses, even if you call those Xichuan rats, see how the old man breaks the enemy!! ”
At the same time, Zhao Yun won again and again, thinking that the soldiers were tired and did not dare to attack too quickly, so he ordered Wei Yan to defend the front village, Zhao Yun to guard the middle village, Pang De to guard the back village, Zhao Yun and Pang De were responsible for receiving the army's heavy grain and grass, armaments and siege equipment and other materials. Zhao Yun strictly ordered Wei Yan to keep the front village tightly, if the front village is lost, the village will be in danger. Wei Yan won again and again, his heart was arrogant, and he didn't care at all.
It was the second watch of the night, Huang Zhong heard the scout's report, he was overjoyed, and he and Tai Shici led an army of 10,000 people straight down. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led their troops to rush into the front village of the Northwest Army, like a wolf and a tiger that pounced on each other, on the contrary, the Northwest Army was like a frightened rabbit, and was killed by the Xichuan army to lose their armor and abandon their armor, without any backhand. It turned out that Wei Yan couldn't get out of the gate for days, and he was all slack, and he was broken by Huang Zhong and went straight in, and the people were not as good as the armor, and the horses were not as good as the saddle.
