Chapter 186: Cao Cao's Troops Attack Yancheng (I)

Let's look at the war in Jingzhou. However, it was said that Cao Ren was defeated by the Shu army before, and the general of the Wei army, Le Jin, was even more wounded, and most of his baggage was lost. Cao Cao was furious when he heard the news, urged the army to move forward, and the 200,000 troops rushed outside Yancheng one after another, joined Cao Ren's 70,000 soldiers and horses, and set up a camp outside Yancheng. The scouts of the Shu army came to inspect, only to see that the Wei army camp was all over the mountains, more than ten miles of land, and the flags were like forests, and they were murderous. The Wei military camp and Yancheng are only separated by a riverbank. The scouts returned, and when the Shu army heard this, they all looked shocked. Hua Xiong and Fa Zheng were ordered by Pan Feng to temporarily lead the military affairs. Hua Xiong saw it, so he asked Fa Zheng.

"The Wei army is strong, and it is personally commanded by the old thief, and the sharp edge is magnificent, and when the other army is rested, it will definitely attack in a big way. Can filial piety have a strategy? ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, his face sank, and he said to Hua Xiong.

"The so-called tight line has no good steps, the general does not have to be impatient, and he goes to explore it with a certain person, so he makes a conclusion."

When Hua Xiong heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he rode with Fa Zheng and hundreds of others to observe the situation. Fa Zheng looked carefully, and saw that in the upper reaches of the river in front of him, there was a mountain of dirt, which was very secret, and could accommodate more than a thousand people. Fa Zheng looked at it for a while, and he already had a plan in his heart. Subsequently, the group returned to the Yancheng Yamen.

Fa Zheng then called Wu Ban to listen to the order.

"Outside the city, there is a mountain of earth on the upper reaches of the river, and you may lead five hundred men, all with drums and horns, to lie down under the mountain, or in the middle of the night, or at dusk, and listen only to the sound of the cannons in my city, and the sound of the cannons, and the beating of drums. Just don't go to war. ”

Wu Ban listened to the order and was calculated. Fa Zhengze and Hua Xiong spied on the city, waiting for the opportunity. The next day, Cao Cao personally commanded the army and came to fight, but no one in Yancheng did not come out, and no bows and crossbows were fired. When Xiahou saw this, his face turned cold, and he hurriedly persuaded Cao Cao.

"His army must have been frightened by the majesty of our army. Why don't you attack it quickly? ”

Cao Cao saw it but was suspicious, he heard that the report came from the previous time, and Zhuge Liang sent Hua Xiong, Fa Zheng and other civil and military forces to Jingzhou to help in the war. Among them, Cao Cao was particularly afraid of Fa Zheng. It is rumored that this Fa is good at trickery, and every time it comes up with a plan, it must be unguardable, and the other army is so weird or deceitful.

Cao Cao watched it for a while, and first taught Xiahoudun to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to attack in detail. I didn't know that Xiahoudun was about to kill under the city, but there was still no movement in the city. Cao Cao was even more suspicious, and first taught the army to return to the village. All the generals of the Wei army were suspicious and came to inquire about Cao Cao. Cao Cao said.

"You don't know the art of war, the other army is so weird, there must be deception. Don't rush to attack at the moment, wait for Lone to discover his treacherous plan, and then break it, and then conquer Yancheng in one go!! ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and when they saw that Cao Cao had already thought about it, they didn't dare to say more. Later that night, Fa Zheng and the city saw that the lights of the Wei army camp were lit up, and the sergeants rested, so they ordered the sergeants in the city to set off the cannons. Wu Ban heard this, and urgently ordered the soldiers who were ambushed under the earth mountain, and the drums and horns sounded in unison. When Wei Bing heard this, he immediately panicked and rushed out of the tent in a panic, only suspecting that he had robbed the village. Cao Cao hurriedly put on the armor, led the generals, and when he left the camp, he did not see a single army.

Cao Cao saw it, his brows furrowed, and his mind was spinning, but he didn't know what tricks the other army was making. Later, when the armies returned to the camp to rest, the trumpets sounded again, the drums and horns sounded again, the shouts shook the ground, and the valley responded, as if thousands of troops and horses were coming. Wei Bing was restless all night and had trouble sleeping. After that, it was even more for three nights, so suspicious, the morale of the Wei soldiers was greatly discouraged.

Cao Cao hurriedly consulted with Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists. Jia Xu thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"A few days ago, I watched the upper reaches of the long river outside the village, and there was a mountain in the area. If the guess is correct, the other army will ambush a group of ambush soldiers there, and they have been bluffing there lately. The king can send a group of soldiers and horses to annihilate it, and the treacherous plan of his army can be broken. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed and said to Jia Xu.

"The other army is like this, and it must want our army to be frightened and pull out the village. If this is the case, if not, it will be calculated. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he made a plan. Jia Xu and Guo Jia listened, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and they also felt that they had a good plan. The next day, Cao Cao ordered the three armies to withdraw from the village, retreated more than ten miles away, and camped in an open place.

Fa Zheng watched the Wei army withdraw from the city, smiled indifferently, and said to Hua Xiong.

"Although Cao Cao knows the art of war, he is suspicious and does not know the tricks of the art of war. Now that the morale of his army has been discharged, the general can take advantage of the situation to pursue and go to the battle!! ”

Hua Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this, so he recalled Wu Ban and ordered the troops to make food before dusk. At the beginning of the night, the scouts came to report that the Wei army was making rice. Hua Xiong personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Wu Ban, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and other generals fought out of the city, bypassed the long river, and looked forward to the Wei army's Dazhai attack.

Huaxiong led the army just past a mountain pass, Fa Zheng suddenly saw the wind and dust in front of him, and there were bursts of noise in the forest, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of soldiers from time to time. Fa Zheng was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously shouted at the moment.

"Withdraw!!"

Fa Zheng suddenly gave an order, and the armies were in chaos, and the soldiers and horses in front of them all pulled their legs and rushed behind. The soldiers and horses behind were unexpected, and they were knocked into chaos. At this moment, two cannon shots broke out on the left and right sides of the mountain pass. I saw Xiahou Dun leading an army to kill from the left, and Xu Chu leading an army to attack from the right. Seeing this, Hua Xiong knew about the plan, and hurriedly led the army to retreat. Fa Zheng was not chaotic in the face of danger, so he taught Feng Xi to lead the crossbowmen to help, and ordered Wu Ban to lead a captain of spearmen to wait. After a while, Xiahoudun was the first to kill, and when Fa Zheng gave an order, Feng Xi immediately taught the crossbowmen to release arrows together. The arrows were flying, Xiahoudun rushed tightly, hurriedly pulled out his guns and swept indiscriminately, and the soldiers behind him also stopped one after another and resisted with weapons. At this moment, Wu Ban rose up angrily and led his troops over to fight. Xiahoudun's army was a little chaotic. However, soon Xu Chu led the army to arrive, and Wu Ban heard the horn and immediately withdrew. Feng Xi ordered the crossbowmen, and retreated and shot. Wu Ban escorted Fa Zheng to go first. Xu Chu stared at the monster, braving the rain of arrows, and slammed into the horse. Feng Xi saw Xu Chu so fierce, his heart shook, and he hurriedly put his bow on the arrow, aiming at Xu Chu's head and shooting an arrow. Xu Chu's tiger head and big knife in his hand danced impermeable, and he rushed forward with the rain of arrows, and suddenly a fast arrow came, Xu Chu flashed, sat down on the horse, galloped with four hooves, and rushed in front of Feng Xi, shouting in his mouth.

"Younger generations, can you recognize Huhou Ye!?"

As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, the knife hand rose and fell, Feng Xi stared with wide eyes, as if he saw a black and white giant tiger rushing towards him, and hurriedly blocked the bow. With a loud bang, I saw Xu Chu slash violently, cut off the big bow, and fell straight to Feng Ximian's door, cutting his head in half. The blood rain flew violently, splashing on Xu Chu's body, making it even more vicious. Poor Feng Xi was high-spirited this time, and wanted to make a name for himself in the Jingzhou war, but he expected that in the first battle of the Shu Kingdom, he was killed by the notorious tiger marquis Xu Zhongkang. Xu Chu hacked Feng Xi to death, and the Shu soldiers were all shocked when they saw it, and at this time, Xiahou Dun led the army to also kill, killing most of the thousands of Shu soldiers, and the rest surrendered. At this time, Cao Cao was watching the battle with Guo Jia and Jia Xu on a high mountain, and when he saw that Hua Xiong had fled with most of his soldiers and horses, his face showed a little regret, and he praised Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

"It seems that this Fa Xiaozhi really has some skills, and he actually noticed the ambush in the forest."

Cao Cao smiled and ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and collect the troops. Xu Chu and Xiahoudun listened to the order, but did not continue the pursuit, and collected their troops and returned to the village.

Huaxiong and Fa Zheng were defeated for a while and returned to the city. Suddenly, the sergeant came to report that Feng Xi was hacked to death by Xu Chu, the general of the Wei army. When Hua Xiong heard that Feng Xi was broken, he was immediately furious and wanted to fight to the death with the Wei army. Fa Zheng hurriedly dissuaded and said to Hua Xiong.

"Feng Xi's death was all due to the deception of the other army. This is a certain fault, and a certain is willing to be punished. The general will be angry for the time being, otherwise he will fall into the hands of the old thief. And Rong is thinking about it for a day, and tomorrow there will be a plan to avenge Feng Xi!! ”

Fa Zheng squinted his eyes, his eyes shimmered, and two terrifying rays of light shot out. The thin body actually emitted a terrifying momentum.

At the third watch that night, Fa Zheng came to find Huaxiong in a hurry, and asked Huaxiong to send the troops at this time, cross the long river outside the field, and camp with his back to the water. When Hua Xiong heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked. Fa Zheng's eyes were cold, and he whispered to Hua Xiong, so and so. Hua Xiong listened to the plan, and the tiger's eyes burst out with two fine lights, and he even claimed to be wonderful.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao was about to take advantage of the situation to attack, and suddenly a scout came to report, saying that the Shu army was carrying the water to the village. When Cao Cao heard this, he was puzzled, and when the generals in the tent heard this, they all secretly laughed at the people who did not know the art of war in the Shu army, and they did not defend the city, but went to the underwater village. Cao Cao frowned and asked Guo Jia.

"What does the other army mean?"

Guo Jia groaned for a while, and was a little suspicious, and said in a deep voice.

"The other army is like this, or wants to form a horn with the soldiers and horses in the city. However, the strength of his army is inferior to ours, but if his reinforcements are intercepted by our army, his village will be broken. When the time comes, the soldiers and horses will be attacked in a grand manner, and the soldiers of the other army will be forced into the river by our army. Such a plan is indeed a self-defeating path. ”

Cao Cao listened, grinned, and said in a condensed voice.

"According to Lone's opinion, that Fa Xiaozhi is not such a resourceless person. Let's try it first. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he sent people to write a war letter. Fa Zheng approved the decisive battle in Japan. Cao Cao listened, and first allocated according to Guo Jia's strategy. The next day, the two armies will form a formation in front of Wukou Mountain in the middle road. Cao Cao stood under the banner of the door, two rows of dragon and phoenix flags, drums and three links, and called Huaxiong to answer. Hua Xiong heard this, so he led Zhang Nan, Wu Ban and others to go into battle. Cao Cao rode a stunning BMW and rushed out of the formation, accompanied by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two evil and fierce generals. Cao Cao shouted at Hua Xiong.

"Liu Xuande is ungrateful and unrighteous, and he is a thief who rebels against the court! Hua Ziwei, you are a loyal and righteous person, why do you help the evil and treason!? ”

When Hua Xiong heard this, his face was cold, and he pointed at Cao Cao and scolded.

"My lord is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he is edicted to beg for thieves, and benevolence and righteousness are filled all over the world, and all righteous people in the world go to vote for him. On the contrary, you, Cao Mengde, as a Hanchen, set yourself up as a king, and usurped the Son of Heaven to use Luanyu, what is the opposite? ”

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, so he ordered Dian Wei to come out to fight, and Hua Xiong shouted loudly and greeted him. Dian Wei held a double halberd, his evil eyes glowed, and the horse flew away. The two horses intersected, Hua Xiong roared, and slashed at Dian Wei's head with a knife. Dian Wei drove away, one halberd swept towards Hua Xiong, and the other halberd stabbed Hua Xiong's heart. Hua Xiong hurriedly dodged, just evaded, Dian Wei held the halberd with both hands, and attacked again. Hua Xiong roared, his eyes widened, and he resisted it with a knife, and sparks burst out with a 'bang'. Dian Wei spelled out the power of the dragon elephant, and as soon as the double halberd pressed, he swung Huaxiong's big knife away. Hua Xiong hurriedly withdrew the knife, Dian Wei attacked fiercely, and Hua Xiong could only blindly defend. After dozens of rounds, Hua Xiong has always fallen behind. On the contrary, the more Dian Wei multiplied, the more evil he felt, and the twin halberds set off gusts of wind. Hua Xiong couldn't resist Dian Wei's offensive, and suddenly sold a flaw, Dian Wei cut down the halberd, Hua Xiong flashed violently, and another halberd suddenly came again. Hua Xiong struggled to swing away, turned the horse and left.

When Wei Jun saw it, they all cheered. Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, and he gave an order.

"But whoever can catch Huaxiong will be the lord of Xiangyang!!"
