Chapter 871: The Battle of Xiangyang (I)
Dian Wei has followed Cao Cao to fight for many years, and his ears and eyes are rendered, and he is no longer as impatient as he was back then, and he knows everything to see and move. Dian Wei ordered the soldiers and horses to stop, and immediately sent a horse to report to Cao Ren. Cao Ren listened, squinted at the tiger for a while, and suddenly raised a sneer, and said to the scout.
"This is Zhuge Liang's suspicious strategy, and there will be no ambush. Spread the evil quickly, but you can march quickly. This general should urge the army to follow, if there is a case, and this general will respond! ”
Before the scout returned to the slope, Dian Wei heard it, and his heart was settled, and he immediately raised troops to kill. When the vanguard army of Cao Bing rushed to pursue, they only saw the banner and did not see a single person. The time has fallen. Dian Wei knew the plan, and he was furious, and immediately ordered the vanguard to move quickly.
The night gradually darkened, Dian Wei led the troops all the way forward quickly, until the knitting forest under the road, there was a Cao army general, saw that both sides of the road crossing were dense forests, busy persuading Dian Wei to be cautious, here the woods are dense, it is likely that there is an ambush. Dian Wei didn't believe it, and thought that Cao Ren's army was in the rear, so he didn't worry about it, and ordered the army to advance. The vanguard army crossed the crossing, and indeed did not encounter an ambush. Dian Wei said with a smile.
"Haha! You and the others all have Zhuge Kongming's plan, so that you are cautious everywhere, if so, you will definitely delay the military aircraft. Zhuge Kongming is just a mortal, how can he be as wise as a god? ”
As soon as Dian Wei's voice fell, he suddenly heard a high slope not far away, blowing loudly. When I looked up, I saw a cluster of flags on the slope, an umbrella cover in the flag, and a person sitting under the umbrella cover was faintly visible, playing the piano. Around the slope, thousands of soldiers and horses lined up. Dian Wei glared evilly, drove his horse forward, and as he rushed in, he suddenly heard the man who played the harp shouting.
"The evil of the ancients is worthy of being the fierce generals of the world. Liang looks evil today, which is really a blessing for Liang! Can you dare to fight? ”
Dian Wei heard this, so he fixed his eyes and saw that the person was holding a goose feather fan and wearing a white crane, wasn't it Zhuge Kongming!
When Dian Wei saw Zhuge Liang, his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he wanted to give the order to wave the army to kill him as soon as he slapped the horse. At Dian Wei's side, several generals were urgently advised.
"Zhuge Liang's wisdom is more than a demon, and the general must not be underestimated! And Zhuge Liang received Liu Xuande's order to guard Jingzhou, how could he personally get involved in danger. There must be an ambush here! ”
Dian Wei glared evilly and shouted angrily.
"Zhuge Liang is the king's confidant. If you get rid of it, it is better than 100,000 elite soldiers! This general is rare to meet an opponent in his life, and he has the courage to take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies! Even if there are thousands of troops, this general is not afraid! ”
After Dian Wei finished drinking, he didn't listen to the dissuasion of the generals, lifted the double halberd, slapped the horses, and flew towards Zhuge Liang. The generals had no choice but to deploy their own subordinates, following closely behind Dian Wei. Zhuge Liang saw Dian Wei driving the horse to kill, he was not afraid, but smiled indifferently.
When Dian Wei rushed closer, Zhuge Liang suddenly played a piano sound, and thousands of soldiers and horses under the slope rose in turmoil. The thousand sword and shield men who were lined up in front of the formation came out first, and Dian Wei shouted angrily, danced his halberds hard, and rushed over. A pair of iron halberds swept up like a whirlwind, and Dian Wei used the power of the dragon elephant to break through. The 1,000 Jingzhou sword and shield men didn't have time to surround Dian Wei. Dian Wei had already opened a breach and rushed through.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang played the piano again. Hundreds of crossbowmen took turns shooting arrows at Dian Wei in real time. Dian Wei hurriedly reined in his horse and swung his halberd to resist, and the sword and shield hands behind took the opportunity to surround him. Dian Wei shouted angrily, rushing left and right, like a giant beast in the wilderness, he had already killed one side with his own strength.
In a few moments, Dian Wei's deployment was killed. The Cao army swarmed and stamped, and immediately disrupted the formation of the Jingzhou sword and shield hand. Dian Wei's pressure suddenly decreased, and he aimed at Zhuge Liang with evil eyes. Zhuge Liang still didn't look panicked, and he played the piano again. The soldiers on the left and right beat the drums loudly, and the drums burst into flames, like shaking the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly, there were countless shouts of killing on the left and right. The two teams of Jingzhou iron horsemen flew towards the two wings of Cao's army at a gallop. Seeing this, Dian Wei knew the plan, twisted his facial features suddenly, glared at Zhuge Liang with grinned teeth, slapped the war horse wildly, and danced the double halberd, wanting to kill Zhuge Liang.
The crossbowmen guarding Zhuge Liang's left and right fired arrows angrily, and round after round of arrows burst towards Dian Wei. Dian Wei was shot for a while and it was difficult to move forward. Until the two teams of Jingzhou iron cavalry came to kill left and right, the Cao army was in chaos, Dian Wei saw that the situation was not good, lest the soldiers and horses be surrounded and killed, and saw that it was difficult to kill Zhuge Kongming for a while, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to withdraw.
Zhuge Liang stood high on the high slope, with a goose feather fan waving, commanding the troops and horses to fight. Under the command of Zhuge Liang, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou became like chess pieces on the chessboard, slowly forcing Cao's army into a dead end. Dian Wei roared viciously, dancing a pair of iron halberds impenetrable, killing pieces of bloody wind and rain, leading most of the soldiers and horses to slowly retreat. Seeing the situation, Zhuge Liang did not step up the offensive, but only taught the sword and shield men to pursue slowly, and the crossbowmen pressed in the center and fired high arrows with arrows to block the kill.
When he was young, Dian Wei retreated to Linkou and lost about 2,000 soldiers and horses. The rest of the soldiers and horses were all embarrassed, and their faces were panicked. Dian Wei hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses, and at the same time reined in front of the battle to prevent Zhuge Liang from waving his troops to cover up. waited for a while, but did not see Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses coming.
Suddenly, behind Lin Kou, an earth-shattering shouting of killing erupted. Dian Wei was taken aback, Cao Jun was frightened and confused, and several groups of Cao soldiers thought that another ambush was coming, and they were about to flee. Dian Wei hurriedly stopped the deserter.
At this moment, only a shout was heard.
"Cao Zilian is here !!"
I saw Cao Hong leading a large army and rushing towards it. When Dian Wei heard this, his heart suddenly settled. It turned out that Cao Ren was closely following Dian Wei's deployment all the way, and when he first arrived at the knitting forest, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him, and immediately sent Cao Hong to help in the battle. Dian Wei's deployment saw that it was his own army, and the panic stopped. Cao Hong arrived, Dian Wei quickly told the past, the two joined forces, and immediately returned to Pokou to kill. When the two arrived, Zhuge Liang had already led his troops and horses to retreat, and the soldiers and horses of his rear army could still be seen faintly.
"Zhuge Pifu deceived people too much, if you don't kill him today! I hate it!! ”
Dian Wei gritted his teeth and shouted, flicked his horsewhip violently, and immediately rode his horse and flew over. Cao Hong is also a hot person, and his thoughts coincide with Dian Wei, and he immediately led troops to rush with Dian Wei. Dian Wei chased Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses all the way.
Zhuge Liang deployed, and saw that most of the Cao soldiers were chasing and killing behind him, and fled in a panic. Dian Wei grinned evilly, slapped his horse and chased after him, and when he reached a valley mouth, he saw that Dian Wei was about to kill Zhuge Liang's rear army.
Dian Wei was about to chase after him, and Cao Hong was urging the army forward.
Suddenly, a cannon burst out.
Countless Jingzhou soldiers and horses rushed out from both sides of the valley in an instant, and the arrows were like torrential rain. Dian Wei and Cao Hong were unexpected, and Cao Jun was shot by arrows, and there were countless casualties.
At this moment, Taniguchi killed another group of people along the way. The leader of the leopard has a leopard's head and eyes, and his whole body is full of fierce wind, it is Zhang Fei. Zhang Feiyuan glared at him and shouted.
"Cao thief, come and take your life!"
Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, and it burst into flames, frightening Cao Bing's rear army into chaos. Zhang Fei carried a spear on his horse, and rushed to kill him, and Cao Bing did not dare to stop it, and scattered one after another. Zhang Fei danced the Zhangba snake spear and rushed straight through, and several Cao Jun generals wanted to resist, but they were all stabbed off their horses by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was like entering a no-man's land, and rushed straight to Cao Hong. Cao Hong only felt a sudden chill all over his body, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was Zhang Fei, and he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly raised his knife to resist. Zhang Fei's snake spear flew out like thunder, and Cao Hong's blade resisted it in time, but Zhang Fei's strength was too great, and a shot almost stabbed the big knife in Cao Hong's hand and flew away. Zhang Fei roared angrily, like a raging leopard, dancing a snake spear and slamming Cao Hong. Cao Hong didn't dare to fight, so he took the road and ran away. Zhang Fei followed closely, and when he saw that he was about to catch up with Cao Hong, and was about to stab his spear in the back of the heart, a vicious roar suddenly broke out.
"Zhang Yide, Hugh has to be presumptuous!!!"
The halberd arrived. I saw Dian Wei wielding his halberds and intercepting Zhang Fei. The twin halberds suddenly stopped the snake spear, and Zhang Fei saw that it was Dian Wei, and his eyes burst out
G-ray, the two fought in one place.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang waved his troops back to kill. The soldiers of Jingzhou on both sides of the valley mouth shot arrows directly at Cao Bing. Cao Bing gradually couldn't resist, and Cao Hong saw that the battle situation was bad, so he hurriedly shouted.
"Don't get entangled in evil. Withdraw quickly!! ”
Cao Hong cheered, and Dian Wei, who was fighting with Zhang Fei, heard it, and swung his halberd fiercely, and simply killed Zhang Fei and fled. Zhang Fei saw that Dian Wei wanted to escape, and chased after him, scolding angrily. Although Dian Wei was angry in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to fight with Zhang Fei, so he galloped all the way. Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang waved their troops to cover the killing, and most of the Cao soldiers could not escape, or were killed or captured.
Cao Hong and Dian Wei Wang fled back the same way, and when they were about to reach the knitting forest, they met Cao Ren's soldiers and horses. Seeing that his army was so embarrassed, Cao Ren immediately guessed that he must have encountered an ambush. Just when Cao Ren quickly ordered his own people to help and prepare to respond. Hearing that behind Cao Hong and Dian Wei's deployment, countless Jingzhou soldiers and horses were chasing after them, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, which frightened Cao Ren for a while.
At this time of great urgency. Suddenly, in the knitting forest, there was also a sky-shaking shouting and killing. The drums and horns sounded in unison, and the shouts shook loudly, Pan Feng took the lead and rushed out of the forest road, as if the sky was collapsing, and rushed straight to Cao Ren. Cao Ren was caught off guard, and was driven under the cover by Pan Feng, and shouted like a thunderous roar. Before Cao Ren could greet him, Pan Feng's mountain-opening giant axe had already been raised violently, Cao Ren's face was like ashes, and he screamed in his heart, my life is over!
"Hugh hurt my general!!"
Seeing that Pan Feng's giant axe was about to be cut down, the two generals beside Cao Ren rushed out through gritted teeth. The axe flashed in an instant, and I saw that the two members of the Cao clan would be clamped and broken into two parts. The blood rain flew violently, and Pan Feng saw that he could not kill Cao Ren, and was about to chase after him. Cao Ren had already fled in a hurry.
"Cao Zixiao, where to escape !!"
Pan Feng danced the giant axe and shouted in unison. Cao Ren was so shocked that it seemed that all five souls and six spirits were frightened away. Fortunately, Cao Ren won the hearts of the people, and countless Cao clans gave up their lives to resist it. Cao Ren was fortunate to escape. Cao Ren's troops were defeated and scattered, and Dian Wei and Cao Hong, who were rushing straight to the knitting forest, saw this and fled in a hurry. Pan Feng quickly led his troops to chase after Cao Hong's troops, while Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang led their troops to chase after Dian Wei's troops, covering up and killing on both sides, killing the two Cao troops like a mountain. Cao Hong and Dian Wei only led a small number of soldiers and horses to escape. The Jingzhou soldiers fought all night until dawn, and then they collected their troops and retreated to Xiangyang City.
However, it was said that Cao Cao was leading the army to catch up, and suddenly heard that the front army had been ambushed one after another, and Dian Wei's vanguard army and Cao Ren's first army suffered heavy losses. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately waved his troops to the rescue. When he was young, Cao Cao saw Cao Ren lead a remnant army to come, and Cao Cao saw that Cao Ren was embarrassed again, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Cao Ren's face was full of shame, and he wept and pleaded guilty to the ground, saying that he would lose his army.
