Chapter 499: Street Pavilion Confrontation

The fall of Yique Pass also announced the opening of the Luoyang battlefield, and when Cao Xiu got the news that Niu Jin was beheaded by Guan Yu, it was already early the next morning, when the news of Guan Yu's breakthrough of Yique Pass came, Cao Xiu was a little hard to believe that Yique Pass was so easily broken by Guan Yu.

Even though there are still 50,000 defenders on the Luoyang side, but when the news that Yique Pass was broken by Guan Yu in less than three days, Mo said that the ordinary soldiers, even Cao Xiu, the main general, were a little shocked, and the army that was originally going to fight Guan Yu had to stay temporarily.

"What did you just say?" After a long time, Cao Xiu, who had digested the fall of Yique Pass, suddenly reacted and looked at the soldiers who came to report the battle situation.

"General Hui, the Han general Meng Da suddenly led the army to capture Hangu Pass yesterday, and in the same area, there are a large number of Han troops." The general who came to summon him bowed.

"Who is Munda ? The Han army appeared here, did it come through the military pass? Cao Xiu has a headache, the problem of Guan Yu has not been solved, followed by Hangu Pass has also been broken, in this way, the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an, even if it is completely broken, even if the reinforcements come, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything, the Han army is out of Shu this time, it is really not moving, and it will be earth-shattering when it moves.

The appetite of the Han army is not only the land of Guanzhong, but even this Luoyang wants?

Cao Xiu got up and looked at the map in the tent, if even Luoyang was broken, then the territory of the Han army would be completely connected, although it was connected before, but the Shu Road was difficult to travel after all, and it was not smooth with each other, but if even Guanzhong and Luoyang were also obtained by the Han army, this problem of the Han army would be solved.

Luoyang must not be lost, otherwise the Han army will become even more terrifying!

Cao Xiu had a plan in his heart, and at the same time said to his guard: "Pass my military order, order Sima Yi to rush to Luoyang within three days!" ”

Although the auxiliary ministers who are also Cao Pi stayed, logically speaking, there is no difference between superior and inferior, but Cao Xiu is a relative of the Cao family and belongs to the royal family.

"Whoa!" The guards agreed, turned around and hurried forward to deliver the military order.

Sima Yi was the commander of the reinforcements sent by Cao Wei this time.

Cao Xiu silently calculated in his heart that Hangu Pass was sealed, and it was unrealistic for reinforcements to support Guanzhong through Luoyang, so they could only go to Hedong and enter Fengyi County through Pubanjin to support Guanzhong.

Although it will take a long detour, but this is the only way that Cao Xiu can think of at the moment, if he goes back to attack Hangu Pass at this moment, when he can break through, not to say, one is not good, even Luoyang may be lost, this time the strength of the Han army is beyond Cao Xiu's expectations, he doesn't want to take risks, and he doesn't dare to take risks, this battle is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battle that determines the future pattern of the world.

Besides, even if he breaks through Hangu Pass first, how long will it take? Supporting Guanzhong is already an urgent matter, and there is no room for delay.

……

A few days later, Jiang Wei surrendered, and when Zhang Fei successfully captured Tianshui, when he received the news that Liu Yi had captured Hangu Pass and Yique Pass, the situation in Longyou had basically been controlled by the Han army, and Zhang Fei did not go to Jieting to meet Zhang Ren.

After Zhang Ren got the order, he quickly led the army to the street pavilion, and at the same time as the road went down to the village, he set up beacon towers on the top of the mountains to prevent the calculation of the Wei army.

When Zhang He arrived at the street pavilion, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw that the barracks that cut off the entire road and were two feet high just because of the wall, and the other party came one step ahead of him, but this military camp was built like a small city, what was the other party thinking?

"General, when will you attack the camp?" The general came to Zhang He's side and asked.

Zhang He looked at the smoke rising from the surrounding mountains, sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head and said, "Camp and go down!" ”

The other party has obviously been prepared, and their own side has been hurrying for days, and the people are sleepy and lacking, and if they attack at this time, it will be unfavorable to their own side.

"Whoa!" The deputy general agreed and went to arrange the village, Zhang He took Qin Wei to carefully look at the Han army camp, and found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he could only sigh and retreat to the camp.

Back to the barracks Li, Zhang He carefully thought about the development of things, from the earliest time of the Han army from Wuzhangyuan, then Chen Cang, to the last real main force appeared in the land of Longxi, the Wei army has been led by the nose of the other party, as a veteran of the battlefield, Zhang He knows very well that this is inappropriate, once the rhythm of the war is controlled by the enemy, the final result is usually not very good.

But it's like playing chess, one step is slow, one step is slow, at least for now, whether it is Zhang He, Cao Zhen, or Xu Huang, they can only follow the rhythm of the Han army.

The loss of Tianshui and Nan'an counties is not too painful for Guanzhong, but what really worries Zhang He is that the current Han army has exhausted all its tricks? If this is the case, although the current situation is unfavorable to Great Wei, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory, after all, here, Wei occupies a dominant advantage, and what Zhang He is really worried about is that the other party still has a backhand, if so...... Zhang He didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene would be next.

Street Pavilion ......

Zhang He looked at the map, closed his eyes and thought about what to do next, the road of the street pavilion was blocked, unable to rescue Tianshui, but how could it not block the enemy's way, just from Tianshui, Nan'an transit, not a road of the street pavilion, but if it is about the supply line, the street pavilion is undoubtedly a choke point, no matter where the other party sends troops, the street pavilion is not able to bypass, since it is impossible to rescue Tianshui, then stick here, block the road of the Han army's eastward advance, and separate the main force of the Han army, so that they can not wantonly attack Jingzhao.

If you can do this, this battle will be won!

After clearing these things, Zhang He's originally somewhat impatient mood instantly calmed down a lot.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Zhang He led the army to the Han army camp to fight, it was not advisable to attack, the other party made it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the walled city to build this military camp so strong, Zhang He wanted to see the other party's main general.

The older generation of generals under Liu Bei's command, even if they haven't seen it, they have heard of it, and he doesn't know who the general with the same surname who appeared in front of him this time is?

At least Zhang Fei is not very likely, with Zhang He's understanding of Zhang Fei, the other party should not be so calm, if it is Zhang Fei, it is not that he will fight, but that Zhang Fei will come to provoke him.

"Zhang He, the general of the Great Wei Zuo, is here, who is the general in the battalion, can he dare to go out of the city to fight?" Zhang He came to a place outside the camp and ordered someone to go and spread the word.

The strength of the Han army's bow and crossbow, Zhang He has seen it, and he doesn't dare to get too close.

In the camp, a veteran under the banner stepped out, clasped his fist in the direction of Zhang He and saluted: "Shujun Zhang Ren, I have seen the general, the general is duty, you and I are hostile, there is nothing to talk about, if the general wants to go over, please attack the camp!" ”

Zhang Ren?

Zhang He looked at the general, who was about the same age as himself, but the name was very unfamiliar, there were really not many Shu generals who were famous in the Central Plains, and among the generals under Liu Bei, most of the famous ones were in the Central Plains, and it was rare to hear any outstanding people in Shu over the years.

However, looking at his military camp, he is a very strict person, if the other party makes up his mind to defend the camp, it is impossible to lead the other party out to annihilate, but he still wants to provoke the other party to say a few words, Zhang He instructed a few words, and asked the guards to go and pass the word.

"Shu has been easy to enter and difficult to get out since ancient times, could it be that the generals of Shu can only defend like this, and dare not fight the enemy?"

When Zhang He's words were transmitted by the guards, it really angered many people, this time the troops sent from Hanzhong were basically Shuzhong soldiers, the other party was so insulted, which one could sit still?

Zhang Ren smiled and said: "Beasts are good at attacking, but in Shu, beasts are usually delicious at the banquet. ”

Seeing that Zhang Ren could not come out, he retreated to the camp and ordered the generals and soldiers to take turns to scold in front of the battle, although this method is a bit old-fashioned, but it is useful.

The soldiers in the barracks, if they let go of the shackles, how ruthless they would be to scold people, and in one day, they greeted the eighteen generations of Zhang Ren's family one by one.

Although Zhang Ren has a fire in his heart, but at this time, he will not send troops indiscriminately, he is just waiting, waiting for the other party to show his flaws, the strength of the two sides is not much different, the Han army has an equipment advantage, but it is impossible for everyone to be like Guan Yu's school knife hand wearing iron armor, hard fight is bound to be damaged, Zhang Ren does not want to be a defeated general just out of Shu.

Zhang He let people scold outside the city for two days in a row, but seeing that Zhang Ren was still indifferent, he could only give up for the time being.

That night, Zhang Ren sent troops to steal the camp, but Zhang He had already made preparations, and the people sent by Zhang Ren were almost wiped out, and after two days, Zhang He suddenly set fire to Zhang Ren's camp with a trebuchet, and Zhang Ren killed more than 300 Wei soldiers with a bed crossbow.

The two of them fought wits and courage on this street pavilion, although there was no big war, but the temptation between each other never stopped.

On this day, he failed to calculate Zhang Ren again, Zhang He's heart moved, looked at the deputy general beside him and said: "That Zhang Ren has been here for many days, but he has never seen that Zhang Fei's main force coming, Tianshui is stubborn, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist for too long, that Zhang Fei should have come here a long time ago, but now he has not seen it for a long time, I am afraid that there is fraud in it!" ”

"If that's the case, why don't you exit the kiosk first?" The lieutenant general has been given to look at Zhang Hedao.

"Can't retreat, the Han army can't lose the street pavilion, and our army can't either!" Zhang He shook his head and thought: "I have a plan, or I can break that Zhang Ren!" ”

After pacing back and forth in the tent for two steps, Zhang He suddenly looked at his lieutenant general and said: "You and lead the army to ambush beside the road, if Zhang Ren comes to chase tomorrow, don't pay attention to him, take the opportunity to break through the camp, it will be a success!" ”

"Whoa!"
