Zhang Ji and Han Debing went to Dong Ting, wanting to lead Liu Jun to chase and kill, and fought in the open field.

"The adults recruited people in Xiliang to train this army, which can fight the Qiang people on the outside and the Shu army on the inside. It also taught the formation of the Han army and the Qiang army, which was invincible and fearless in the plains. Han De looked at the army that Zhang Ji personally came from Liangzhou in the rear, and couldn't help but praise it, and envied it in his heart, the soldiers he trained were far inferior.

"Lord Assassin Shi is not a military general, how to cultivate this mighty army." Han De asked.

Zhang Ji replied to him, "The general wants to learn, but I'm afraid he won't be able to learn." ”

Han De smiled, "It's okay if you don't learn." People are old and can't learn new things. ”

As soon as the horse came running, Zhang Ji hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

"There is no army chasing after us, but there is an army that was still behind our army before, and after nightfall, it was never seen again." The spy said.

Han De: "Pan Feng is here." This place is just right, our army can camp here, waiting for it to chase, the army is whole, the men and horses are tired, and they will be broken in one attack! ”

Zhang Ji's face sank, "There are a lot of them, and they disappear after nightfall?" "There is only one possibility, they give up the grain and grass and the baggage, and the light soldiers hurry up. And it's not the whole army. ”

Han De didn't know, "What does the other party mean?" ”

"Stop the army, set up camp." Zhang both ordered.

Inside the tent

"Men have been sent out to investigate, and if they really want to stop our army's advance, then they will definitely leave a trace." Han Deyan.

"Yes." Zhang Ji nodded slightly, pondering, what did the other party mean? This time, the soldiers and horses who came to pursue him must have divided their troops, but the army that divided the troops could not defeat them. If you don't stop yourself, you will drive straight into Tianshui County and kill you up. Cao Zhen of Guangwei County raised troops at the same time, crossed the river and crossed the Weishui, and attacked left and right, and it was impossible for the opponent's troops to hold it.

The convergence of the two armies of the east and west will definitely recapture the counties of Yongzhou.

Zhang couldn't think of what the other party could do in such a situation. The other party can abandon this, return to Tianshui County, and transfer troops to fortify. But now, it doesn't seem to be doing so.

"According to the other party's talents, if you return to Tianshui County and mobilize the troops of the garrison, you will definitely be able to prevent the attack of our army. But ......" Zhang Ji frowned, looked at the terrain map, and couldn't think of what else the other party could do?

"They want to cut off our army food and force our army to withdraw?" Han De asked.

Zhang Ji shook his head, "Our army's food and grass are enough to support a month, a month, if he doesn't block the whole army and command the transfer, I will be able to attack Shangqi and unite with General Cao Zhen." The other party thought of this, and it was impossible to do such a meaningless thing. ”

Nan'an County, close to the main road of Longxi County.

"This is the main road where the Xiliang Grain Team escorts the grain and grass to meet Zhang Ji, and we block this road and cut off their grain and grass. Zhang Ji's army entered Tianshui County, there was an obstacle from our army, he ran out of food and grass, and the army was in chaos, and he would definitely flee back. Shi Yue explained to Liao Hua on the side.

Liao Hua was not too surprised when he learned of the general's strategy, and he had a lot of doubts in his heart. Unconsciously thought about it, "If they break through the sky and water and break the city before they run out of food and grass." Isn't that the problem? ”

Probably not, right? "Their soldiers are going to Tianshui County, and they must pass near Xixian, which is the city where we first entered Tianshui County, where there is an army of soldiers, and Ma Dai is brave, and has brought people to stop the interference, I asked him to bring a letter to the Xixian generals, and the Xixian soldiers will be able to hold it." Shi Yue said, and there was already some doubt in his tone.

"The general's strategy must be infallible, and I still can't understand the deep meaning." Liao Hua said to himself, although he still had some doubts, but he thought that it should be his own question, so he didn't ask anymore.

The area around Dong Ting, where Zhang Ji's military camp is stationed

It was night, and Ma Dai had already led his troops lightly and overtook them.

Ma Dai led the men to ambush them in the distance, and sent people to find out that they had just set up camp, and all the soldiers had traveled here for a day, and they were stationed in the camp, and they were all tired.

"Our army only has one chance to fight, and if it is defeated, it will have to retreat to Tianshui County and go to Xixian County. If you win, you can kill them directly. Ma Dai explained the current situation to everyone. Because he abandoned the heavy grain and grass and came lightly, he could not stay in one place for too long.

The soldiers shouted, cheering each other.

"Raise the army."

The Wei soldiers outside the camp were patrolling and walking, and suddenly saw a change in front of them, and they couldn't help but look. "Enemy ...... The enemy is coming! ”

"Knock knock!" The drums shook sharply, shouting for the soldiers to resist the enemy, and everyone had been walking for a long day, and before they had rested enough, they suddenly woke up, and they all had no momentum, and they barely got up.

Han De rode his horse to the place where the enemy was attacking with the sound of drums. "Where is Shu Kou!"

Han De rode his horse to the gate of the enemy's attack on the wall, only to see the tragic situation of a fight at the door, the soldiers shouted in pain one by one, each supported each other, and the remnants on the ground were not seen, but no one of Liu Jun was seen.

"What about the enemy?" Han De asked.

"Report to the general, the other party attacked the walled gate, killed a few people indiscriminately, and immediately retreated." Wounded soldiers reported.

Han Dezhi was furious, thinking that he could kill the enemy army, but it was just a small fight.

The soldiers who dared to come over saw that there was no need to fight, and they went back to rest.

Zhang Ji walked over, "This is the enemy's trouble, and those who come will know that it is not enough to defeat our army, so they will make chaos, disturb our army's heart, and reduce our army's strength." ”

Han De dismounted and wanted to return, and sent a distant patrol.

Ma Dai fled with his men and horses not far away, and only stopped after making sure that there was no enemy pursuit. Ma Dai naturally remembered the general's order not to fight. The enemy's garrison was too tight, and the response was timely, and he wanted to kill him directly, but he had an order first, and retreated.

"Listen to the generals, they will attack once in the middle of the night." Ma Dai said.

The second half of the night

The first army rushed from the north of the walled camp and was detected by the Wei soldiers early, "The enemy is coming from the north gate!" ”

Soon the Wei soldiers came out, and after the previous riot, they finally fell asleep, and now they came again, and they were even more depressed.

At the north gate, a team of Liu Jun rushed here, and the leader saw that there were soldiers in the camp, "Go!" Remove! "Immediately withdraw and leave.

Han De had already rushed to the door, and when he saw the enemy fleeing again, "Kill!" ”

Rush with the soldiers to chase after him.

At the south gate, the soldiers on patrol looked north from time to time, wondering what the situation was there. At this time, Ma Dai led his troops to attack this place.

The patrolman paid attention, fled back in a panic, and shouted, "The enemy is coming!" ”

The drum of the south gate also sounded, and Ma Dai led people to rush to the walled gate, and there was no time for the soldiers to arrive here.

Ma Dai slaughtered the defenders near the gate of the wall, and the soldiers set fire to the nearby camp tent.

Make a fuss and leave. When the rest of the soldiers arrived, there was no sign of the enemy.

Han De pursued the group of Liu soldiers, and not far away, he heard the drums in the south of the village, and for fear that something would happen, he immediately rushed back.

"What about people? What about people! Han De roared.

Zhang Ji walked over, "Don't sleep tonight." ”

Han De was still angry, "What about tomorrow? Not enlisted? ”

Zhang Jiyan: "Tomorrow is resting, stopping here for one night, saying that I already know what the other party is planning." ”

Han De was stunned, "What's the other party's plan?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled, "The army that attacked tonight does not have many troops, it should be the army that disappeared before that time." This army is here to deal with us, to disturb the enemy, to delay Pan Feng's return to Tianshui County, and to mobilize troops and horses. ”

Han De: "What do you mean?" ”

"As I said before, it is impossible for the other side to let our army advance in a big way and take it directly. He divided his army and left, just to have more time and do a good job of guarding Tianshui County. Frontal battle, knowing that you can't win. Therefore, this army is sent to disturb the enemy's chaos, and this army will come to disturb it. By the time our army arrived at Tianshui County, many days had been wasted, and they were determined to mobilize troops and horses at this time and set up defenses. ”

"And our army was disturbed all the way to Tianshui, and it will be difficult for the enemy to ambush the strong army. They will chase all the way and kill us out of Tianshui, Nan'an, and even Longxi. ”

"I see." Han De was stunned when he heard this. "So what now?"

Zhang Jiyan: "Nan'an County has not been taken, all counties have Shu Han soldiers, we will not succeed in attacking Tianshui, if we are defeated and retreated, we will definitely suffer from future troubles." Pan Feng is not easy to deal with, and it is difficult to succeed if he puts himself in danger. ”

"Now that he has set up troops before our army, it will be heavenly. Then Nan'an County will be a strong defender, our army can first take Nan'an County, and then use this as a base to contact General Cao Zhen, attack from east to west, raise troops up and down, scatter troops, and slowly encroach on Guangwei and Tianshui counties, which is a complete strategy for victory. ”

Han De was overjoyed, "Lord Thorn Shi is really a god, it's foolproof!" ”

"Pass the order, and after resting tomorrow, raise troops to attack Xinxing in Wucheng Mountain, and then take the Basket Road."
