Chapter 491: Guan Xing vs. Jiang Wei

The battle on Chencang's side, as well as the destruction of Yixian, shocked the Cao army in Guanzhong, just when the eyes of all parties focused on this, Zhang Fei led an army of 100,000 troops to Wudu County to send troops and enter Longyou, at this time, even if you hide the news, you can't hide it, the first thing that is affected is Nan'an, Tianshui, Anding three counties, these three counties, are also Zhang Fei's main target this time.

Although in the general direction, the purpose of the Han army's dispatch this time is to the entire Guanzhong, including Jingzhao and Xiliang, but if the plan is implemented at every step, it will naturally be in order.

The primary target is naturally the land of Jingzhao, even if it has gone through a great chaos, but eight hundred miles of fertile soil, regardless of location or resources, this land of Jingzhao is a place to fight, take Jingzhao, block Tongguan and Hangu Pass, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, as for Xiliang can be slowly subdued.

However, to kill from Yangping Pass to Jingzhao, these three counties are considered to be the back road, and they are also quite important, Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong took great pains to attract Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses, in order to provide conditions for Zhang Fei to quickly capture the three counties to provide conditions for the rear.

The 100,000 army came mightily, but there were not too many garrisons in the Nan'an area, Nan'an was too guarded to know that he was invincible, and led his relatives and family members to flee to Anding overnight.

However, this can only be regarded as the other party gave up the defense, because the defense can not be held, but then Tianshui and Anding have received the news, Zhang He personally raised 30,000 troops to come, these years, although there are few wars between the Han and Wei States, but for Liu Bei's vigilance, Cao Pi has never let go, not only left 100,000 soldiers and horses in the land of Sanfu, but also stationed Cao Zhen, Xu Huang, and Zhang He, three generals, in order to one day if Liu Bei sends troops, he can stop it in time.

"Shi Yuan, if you don't hit Tianshui and take the street pavilion first, if the water comes from behind that day, what should I do if my grain is cut off?" Nan'an, in Zhang Fei's big tent, Zhang Fei frowned and looked at Pang Tong, and did not agree with Pang Tong's strategy of taking the street pavilion first and directly attacking stability, which was equivalent to giving up his back to Tianshui.

"At this time, Zhang He's new news is not long, and he has not been able to make sufficient preparations in time, the street pavilion is the throat point, at this time, our army seized the street pavilion, and it will take the lead! This can be used as a basis, attacking and retreating. Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Tianshui is only thousands of soldiers, that is too guarded by the horse and follow my view is a mediocre generation, the general only needs to leave a brigade of partial divisions to defend here, and then prepare more flags, make a force to attack Tianshui, will not dare to move, I will wait for the street pavilion first, as a basis, if Zhang He can be defeated, Tianshui is as easy as a hand." ”

Clicking on the location of Tianshui on the sand table, Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "If you take Tianshui first, it will take time, at this time, Zhang Heruo blocks the street pavilion and garrisons heavy troops here, I will take Tianshui, and then it will be more difficult to capture the street pavilion, so it is recommended to go down to the street pavilion first, and then break the Tianshui!" ”

"But if we can't occupy the street pavilion, won't our army suffer from the enemy?" Zhang Fei frowned and said, although he is very arrogant on weekdays, but when he is about to fight, as the commander of the three armies, he should still be cautious.

"It depends on how the general chooses, if you can take the street pavilion first, then this battle will be able to take the lead, if you take Tianshui, then there will be no worries, but then the street pavilion will be occupied by Zhang He, it is not easy to capture!" Pang Tong nodded, there is indeed this risk, Zhang He is a veteran of the battlefield and has rich experience, so he can naturally see the importance of the street pavilion.

"The street pavilion wants to be taken, but it is too much to raise the whole army to take it!" Zhang Fei groaned.

When Pang Tong heard this, he had to nod and said: "In this way, you can send a general to the street pavilion to garrison first, and then move the army after our army breaks through Tianshui." ”

In fact, according to Pang Tong's idea, destroying Zhang He's army will make this Xiliang land at your fingertips, but Zhang Fei, as the main general, is obviously not as rough as he is on weekdays, and he is even more unwilling to gamble with the whole army.

Pang Tong is not just out of office, he is arrogant, he thinks that the coach is stupid if he doesn't use his own strategy, Zhang Fei's concerns are naturally for a reason, after all, people are also people who have fought all their lives.

Zhang Fei nodded, looked at the generals under the tent and said, "Who can be the general?" ”

Ma Chao and Zhang Ren came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Although Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Zhao Guang and others also wanted to take over this position, it was obvious that the weight was not enough to compare with these two, so they could only stand aside silently and did not speak.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "General Meng Qi has a lot of prestige among Qianghu, and this Xiliang land is inseparable from General Meng Qi, and this matter is still going by General Zhang Ren." ”

"Not bad." Zhang Fei laughed and said: "After calming Tianshui here, it is not difficult to break that Zhang He again." ”

"The last general commands!" When Zhang Ren heard this, he bowed his hand.

Although Ma Chao was unwilling, as a deputy general at this time, it was not easy to compete with Zhang Fei, so he had to return to the train.

Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't doubt Ma Chao's ability, but Ma Chao was good at attacking, and he was also good at cavalry, if it was about defense, Zhang Ren was in Luo County to block the powerful Liu Bei for nearly a year, for defense, Zhang Ren was obviously more suitable than Ma Chao.

However, this cannot be said bluntly that Ma Chao can't fight a defensive war, so he can only be tactful, and Zhang Fei also needs a general here, Ma Chao's martial arts are good, which can be compared with Guan Zhang, and he is much younger than Zhang Fei, and he also has a set of commanding troops to fight, with Zhang Fei's current status, he is not very suitable for charging into battle, leaving Ma Chao just right.

After the current agreement, Zhang Fei ordered Zhang Ren to lead 30,000 troops and 800 sappers to Jieting Xiazhai, and brought Ma Chao, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang and Pang Tong to lead the army to Tianshui.

……

On the other side, Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun was shocked when he heard that Nan'an had fallen, and hurriedly summoned Gong Cao Liang Xu, the chief secretary Yi Xiang, the chief secretary Liang Qian, and Jiang Wei, who joined the army, to come and discuss.

"The Han army is fierce this time, that Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are both fierce generals in the world, and they have the courage of ten thousand people, such as in the water today, the county soldiers are only 5,000, how can they stop it?" Ma Zun has some six gods and no master at the moment, Zhang Fei personally raised troops to fight, he doesn't think that his little man can stop others.

The three counties of Tianshui are close to Shudi, and there are often Qiang rebellions, and there are 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the county, but Rao is so, in the face of Zhang Fei's 100,000 army, Ma Zun does not feel that he can hold it.

Liang Xu muttered: "The Han army is menacing this time, a few days ago I have sent someone to report to General Zhang He, the army should have reached stability at this time, and the soldiers and horses of stability have been combined, although they may not be able to retreat Zhang Fei, but it is not difficult to defend the city, our army only needs to defend until the reinforcements arrive." ”

"There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how can you defend it?" Ma Zun frowned.

He felt that there were only two ways, either to run away like Nan'an Taishou, or to surrender, and if he held on, it was estimated that he would be hanging.

"Fujun!" Jiang Wei stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Although the Han army is numerous, it can't press all the army, and the last general is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush and frustrate the spirit of the Han army." ”

"I know that Boyo is young and vigorous." Ma Zun shook his head and said: "Of course, the name of Zhang Fei may not be familiar with it, but that Ma Chao should know that this person's courage is comparable to that of Lu Bu back then!" ”

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "The march and battle are not the same as the previous generals, that Zhang Fei thought that our army would not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, and our army would do the opposite, and it would definitely be able to surprise and catch it off guard." ”

"Fujun, what Boyo said is good." Yi Xun thought for a moment and said: "If you just defend to the death, you must be trapped by Zhang Fei, it is better to try to fight, if you can win, if you can't win, you can also delay the Han army, and make plans early." ”

Ma Zun nodded when he heard this, looked at Jiang Wei and said: "That's convenient for you with three thousand soldiers and horses, Boyo remember to be careful, if you can't be defeated, retreat quickly, don't be reckless!" ”

"The last general commands!" Jiang Wei bowed down and took the order.

Seeing Jiang Wei leave, Liang Xu on the side pondered and said: "Although Bo Yue is brave, he may not be the opponent of Zhang Fei, the prince can first seek a way out, send the families and property of the generals and soldiers to Anding, and then make plans when our army returns in the future!" ”

This remark hit Ma Zun's mind, and he nodded immediately: "This is very good, you guys go and prepare, and send someone to investigate the military situation, if Jiang Wei is defeated, we will leave immediately." ”

"Whoa!"

……

On the other side, after Zhang Fei traveled all the way to Tianshui, he ordered Guan Xing to be the vanguard and go to the battle first, while Zhang Fei and Pang Tong and Ma Chao led the army to follow.

Guan Xing first sent a detailed work to explore the reality of Tianshui, but only listened to the gates of Tianshui cities closed, a strict posture of guarding to the death, Guan Xing led the army all the way to Xixian, and was about to go to call the battle, when the rear suddenly killed a soldier and horse from the side road, and rushed straight to the rear of the Han army.

Guan Xing was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered to form a circle formation, and at the same time, the gate of Xicheng City was opened, and there was also a general who led the Xicheng County Guard to kill and take Guan Xing directly.

Guan Xing ordered people to form a formation to resist the enemy, and at the same time personally led the guards to kill, and cut the Xicheng guards under the horse, and the Xicheng County guards were only hundreds.

But the rear Jiang Wei led the troops and horses have been into the formation, although the Han army is elite, but in a hurry to meet the enemy, the formation has been disrupted, in the battle formation, seeing a general rushed left and right, constantly tearing the army formation, making it difficult for the Han army to form, Guan Xing was furious when he saw this, and waved his sword to fight.

Jiang Wei was overjoyed when he saw that the enemy general was coming in person, and with a spear in his hand, he swept away the big knife that Guan Xing had chopped, and then stabbed Guan Xing in the chest and abdomen with a sudden move.

Guan Xing hurriedly avoided the big knife at the same time, sweeping from the bottom to Jiang Wei's throat.

The two fought fast and fought for more than ten times, Guan Xing was a little invincible, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, how could there be such a character in this little Tianshui? He first followed Liu Yi in Southern Xinjiang to fight against the Southern Barbarians over the years, and was later transferred back to Hanzhong, often suppressed bandits in various places, and his martial arts were becoming more and more sophisticated.

On the other hand, Jiang Wei was also secretly frightened, Guan Xing's martial arts are good on the one hand, and more importantly, when the Han army was suddenly attacked, it was able to not mess up or even fight back, even the elite of the Cao army may not be able to do this, this is really a vanguard army?
