Chapter 256: The Wind Spreads
Nam Zheng
Outside Cao Hongzhai, the laxly garrisoned camp suddenly saw the attack of Liu's cavalry, and just beat the drum, the men and horses had already rushed to the front of the village.
Cao Hong, who was still angry in the camp, came out in shock, and he didn't have time to give orders for the garrison, nor did he have time to get on his horse to meet the battle, Wei Yan had already entered the village and set fire to make a fuss.
Cao Hong went out of the camp and prepared to fight, but when he saw a person riding in outside the village, he immediately dispelled his thoughts. "Pan Feng, I know that if I can't take my head in person, it will be a regret in my life. So can't you help but come and kill me! ”
"I'm not going to let you get away with it!" "Brothers, retreat to the back gate and follow me!"
……
"It's so easy...... Shi Yue sighed, and after attacking for a while, the enemy didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, so he left.
"After all, half of the troops here were brought out by Cao Zhang, and the village was not garrisoned in time, and in the face of our army's sneak attack, forced to fight, in the end, it was better to lose some troops." Wei Yan analyzed carefully.
"Let's go, Cao Zhang is coming back soon, but you can't touch him, otherwise you won't have to lose." Shi Yue said cautiously.
In another place, Cao Zhang defeated Liu Feng's attacking army and killed them all. Under the cover of the remnants of the army, Liu Feng fled to the city, and Cao Zhang pursued all the way, and received the news that the village had been attacked, so he had to return.
Cao Zhang returned to the village, the camp was burned, and he went to Cao Hong, and saw that his soldiers suffered a lot of losses.
The two of them came here to attack the city, but now that they can't attack it, they decided to go back to see Cao Ang.
Liu Feng returned to the city, Shi Yue saw that he had lost so many soldiers, and almost all the troops were wiped out, beyond imagination, and he was very puzzled. The plan was for him to lure the enemy into attacking, and then withdraw his troops and flee by himself, how could it be tragically like this. In this case, the situation of the two armies is still similar, and it is not that there is no guarantee that Cao Zhang will not come to attack the city.
"Report! The enemy has evacuated here and is heading for Baocheng! ”
When Shi Yue learned the news, he was finally relieved, indicating that the other party had given up on retrieving Nanzheng, and they should go to Hanshui to join the remaining forces.
Guo Huaibing returned to Hanshui and reported what happened to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.
The soldiers in the army were shocked, and they would suffer such heavy losses, and they did not expect that Wang Ping was a spy of Liu's army, and the military division died tragically under his men.
Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu learned the news and also communicated some things. But they wanted to find out the details, but the defeated army brought back by Guo Huai did not know, and when the incident happened, they fought fiercely elsewhere. Therefore, there is no way to verify.
After a short time, Cao Angbing came here. Cao Ang was even more heartbroken when he learned of Pang Tong's tragic death. "This battle in Hanzhong was originally a great opportunity to benefit the state, but I never imagined that it would be in such a situation."
Cao Xiu appeased, "Victory and defeat are commonplace, but now the land of Hanzhong is lost." But there is still a battle force, and Liu Jun is now suffering serious losses, and we only need a big victory to get it back. ”
"However, our army is now short of grain and grass, and Xu Du is approaching the front, so we can't fight anymore. The enemy crossed the Han River to rob our army of food, and if it was attacked, it could only be a division. ”
Cao Ang listened, "Xu Chu, you will lead a thousand elite soldiers to escort you on the road!" ”
Guo Huai was shocked when he heard this, and Xu Chu, the head of Cao Anghu's guards, wanted to leave from his side temporarily. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ramps
Jia Kui was ordered to carry grain all the way to this point, looking at the steep mountains on both sides, cautious and worried.
"The land of Hanzhong is also sinister. Night is coming, so let's rest. Jia Kui ordered.
Another grain officer asked worriedly: "The former army is in urgent need of grain and grass, it is coming, it is better to urgently need to travel at night, if the time is missed, this crime cannot be borne by it!" ”
Jia Kui said: "I naturally know, so I want to rest, and I don't dare to go at night." ”
Jia Kui looked at the gradually faded mountains in front of him, and became more and more solemn, "This grain must be delivered, otherwise our army will be in charge." ”
But it is said that it has already been ambushed in the slope mountain.
"The enemy forces have stopped and have not advanced again." Spies report.
Fa Zheng was slightly surprised, "It seems that the enemy army escorted the grain officer, and he was cautious and cautious." ”
Gao Xiang, the general of the military department, asked for his life, "I can attack tonight, and I will definitely take it!" ”
Fa Zhengyan: "No, our army does not have many troops here, and if we go to the enemy and are prepared, the losses will be too heavy, and we will not be able to attack." ”
Gao Xiang said: "If you don't attack tonight, they will pass here tomorrow, and it will be even more difficult to attack." ”
Fa Zheng said: "I have a law to break, and I will prepare for it." ”
Next
Jia Kui led the crowd to continue marching, entered the mouth of the valley, and went to the Han River.
The escort army entered the valley and came to a road, but the road was blocked.
When Jia Kui and the others looked at it, they knew that it was an enemy who did it, "And be careful, there are enemy troops here!" ”
"Go for another one." Jia Kui said, go to another road in the valley, not far away, and see that the front is blocked.
"It seems that the paths are all blocked, and we are going to walk on the roads." Jia Kui said. "Go, the avenue."
The escort army marched forward from the avenue, and Cao Jun was worried one by one and waited for the battle. The battle was always engaged, but there was no enemy attack.
In the middle of the line, the mountains on both sides were on fire. Everyone was terrified and watched as the fire grew bigger.
Jia Kui said: "This fire can't burn us, don't panic!" ”
At this time, Liu Jun came out from a high place, "Shoot the arrow!" "One by one, the rockets were put down. The goal is the grain truck.
"Protect the grain wagon, go fast." Under the order, Cao Bing covered the grain cart and hurried forward. Looking back, there was no enemy chasing after him.
When they came to another place, the mountains on both sides were on fire, and everyone was puzzled. Liu Jun came out again above, and fired rockets down. Cao Jun still fled in the same hurry as he did just now.
Fleeing to the front, the fire was still burning on both sides of the mountains, and the Cao army was guarding the grain and grass, looking up, "The enemy is here again!" Sure enough, Liu Jun came out again, and the rocket fell. Cao Jun still fled.
Jia Kui was puzzled, why did the sneak attack set fire between the two mountains, and just come out and release rockets?
"Here we go again! It's on fire! Seeing this, Cao Bing exclaimed, "Everyone go quickly!" ”
As long as Cao Jun was in a hurry, Jia Kui looked back and did not see Liu Jun on the mountain. With a shock in his head, he seemed to understand the enemy's strategy, and the rumors were loud.
When Cao Jun encountered the fire in the mountains on both sides, he immediately fled quickly, and came down like this, one by one, he was tired and out of breath.
Jia Kui said to everyone that this is an enemy plan, but as long as the fire starts, we must still be on guard, regardless of whether there is an enemy or not. It is really necessary to guard against it, and it is also necessary to guard against fake ones. has been sloping out of the valley, and Cao Bing was exhausted.
Gao Xiang had already led his troops to wait at the mouth of the valley, looking at the state of Cao Jun, he was overjoyed, "Leave the grain and grass, and you can leave it." ”
Jia Kui looked at the soldiers, although they were all elite soldiers, but after a mental devastation, they had lost all their momentum, and they needed to find a way. It is better to give them grain and grass, and then ......
Jia Kui said: "Okay, if you can give food and grass, don't go to war." ”
Gao Xiang smiled, "Of course! "Liu Jun doesn't have many troops here, and he is also tired, running all the way through the mountains, so it is best not to go to war.
During the conversation, Jia Kui looked at Fa Zheng, who was riding another horse beside Gao Xiang, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that this person was awe-inspiring, who was it.
After Fa Zheng listened to Jia Kui's words, he said softly: "General, kill." ”21
