Chapter 1204: A Miscalculation (I)
The previous discord could not be calculated, the war was difficult to lift, and there was nothing to be done, so we had to make this treacherous plan again to lure our army out of the city! ”
As soon as Zhang Liao's voice fell, Xu Shu shook his head and said.
"Definitely. Zhang Yide is eager for revenge, and he has a fiery temper, and now that he sees the war delayed, he is upset, and he has a drunken attack and scolds Zhuge Kongming, which is also normal. However, our army has been tricked by the other army before, so we can act cautiously now, and wait and see what happens before making a decision. ”
Xu Shu was very cautious, and Zhang Liao also agreed when he heard this. Huang Zhong then ordered scouts to go to the Shu army Dazhai every night to investigate in order to see the truth and the truth. For several days, Zhang Fei was drunk every day, and when he was drunk, he cried and made a fuss and scolded Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang repeatedly tolerated it, but Zhang Fei not only did not repent, but became more and more indulgent. On the third day, Zhang Fei lost his words after drinking and collided with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it, and the generals couldn't stop it. Zhang Fei was beaten with a cane thirty, and the stick was like thunder. Even the ** scouts who were inquiring outside the village changed their faces when they heard it, and they all had palpitations, as if this stick was hitting their bodies.
**The scout scout hurried back to the city to report back. When Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others heard this, they were shocked and suspicious. However, Zhuge Liang was resourceful and resourceful, and everyone did not dare to be careless, and after discussion, he still decided to stand still. After all, for Huang Zhong and others, it is the most important thing to ensure that Nanzheng is not lost, resist the Shu army, and prevent him from going deep into the hinterland.
However, Xu Shu did not have no ideas, he thought that if there was fraud in this, the other army would have the next move. Among them, they may deliberately send Zhang Fei to lead the army to the battle, and deliberately rush to attack the city as bait. Or it is deliberately to make the garrison in the village lax and the illusion that the army is unstable to lure the army to attack.
At that time, after listening to Xu Shu's analysis, Huang Zhong's face sank unconsciously, and he asked in a condensed voice.
"If this is not a fraud, what should Zhuge Liang do?"
When Xu Shu heard this, he groaned for a while, his eyes were blazing, and he said slowly.
"Tang and Wei fought together in Shu, and now Jingzhou has been lost, although Xichuan can be saved, but after repeated fierce battles, there is not much left in Shu. If I am correct, now Zhuge Liang's 30,000 soldiers and horses are almost the strength of Shu State. Zhang Yide is a general of the Shu army, and he is also Liu Xuande's brother, and his prestige in the army is extremely high. If Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei really disagreed, the Shu army would be in turmoil. Moreover, at present, the other army has been attacking Nanzheng for a long time, and the war has been delayed, and the morale of the other army has been frustrated.
Ma Mengqi is not a brave man, how can he resist the 60,000 army led by the prince of Tang. Presumably, within February, the Tang King will definitely be able to allocate reinforcements. With Zhuge Liang's intelligence, he naturally expected that, according to his cautious nature, he would definitely order the withdrawal of the army and save the troops. ”
Early the next morning, suddenly the wind and clouds changed, and the rain suddenly came, and the thunder rolled, and it began to rain heavily. The rain seemed to cover the heavens and the earth. Such a sudden change is great news for **. Such a heavy rain, it is difficult to walk, even if millions of soldiers and horses are killed under the city, ** according to the city, it is not afraid! In this way, you can relax your tense nerves and rest for a few days. As long as the heavy rain does not stop, Nan Zheng will be safe and sound.
The rain blew incessantly, and the thunder fell like the wrath of the sky. This torrential rain lasted for three days at once. The huge amount of rainfall has flooded Nanzheng City within a radius of ten miles, and when you walk on the ground, the water level is high enough to flood your knees, and the low water level can also cover your ankles.
Xu Shu and Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals will go to the city together to look, Xu Shu saw the scene under the city, muttered for a while, suddenly his face changed, and a team of scouts went to investigate.
At noon, the scouts who went to explore suddenly came to report that the Shu army suddenly pulled out the village, and the armies of all departments withdrew one after another. When Xu Shu heard this, he exclaimed.
"Sure enough!"
Huang Zhong saw that Xu Shu seemed to have expected it, and hurriedly asked.
"What do you say!? Did you expect that? ”
Xu Shu's face sank and said in a condensed voice.
"Heavy rain for several days, Nanzheng City within a radius of ten miles are flooded, although the water level is not high, but if you want to lead troops to attack the city, it is no longer difficult to ascend to the sky. When the water level recedes, it will take at least five or six days. Zhuge Liang had a discord with Zhang Fei again, and the army's morale was unstable, and it was difficult to fight at the same time. Zhuge Liang didn't want to delay any more time here, so he withdrew his troops and made early preparations for our army's counterattack. ”
When Huang Zhong heard this, his tiger eyes narrowed, his hand held his white beard, and he fell into deep thought. According to Xu Shu's analysis, there is nothing suspicious about this matter. At this time, Zhang Liao's injuries had healed, and when he heard the battle spirit, he shouted urgently.
"It turns out that Duke Xu has already noticed the motives of the other army, why don't you quickly dispatch the army to pursue and kill him by surprise!?"
When Huang Zhong heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he beckoned.
"No!! The other army withdrew, and the crisis in Nanzheng City was resolved. We should guard the city, wait for the Tang King's soldiers and horses, and then plan for the future. ”
Huang Zhong was extremely calm. When Zhang Liao heard this, his expression was anxious, and he said sharply.
"Now is the time to inflict a heavy blow on the other side. If you can take advantage of this to capture Zhuge Villager, when the army of Tang Wang arrives, you will attack Xichuan, and you will undoubtedly find out what you want! ”
Huang Zhong frowned, and what Zhang Liao said was also very reasonable. The war between Tang and Shu has lasted for a long time, and now Cao Wei has taken Jingzhou. If the Xichuan War can end as soon as possible, it can be said that it will be beneficial and harmless to Xitang. Huang Zhong was hesitating. At this time, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly burst into bright light, and he said with emotion.
"The so-called one will succeed in ten thousand bones, not to mention the grand cause of dominating the world! Since the start of the war between Tang and Shu, there have been nearly 100 vicious battles of all sizes. This is a great opportunity to hit him hard. Don't miss the opportunity. The war in Xichuan can end as soon as possible, and the war will stop, which is actually the surname of the people of Tang and Shu. I hope that General Huang will think twice!! ”
Huang Zhong heard Xu Shu say the same, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Xu Shu's face was calm, the key to this battle, he and Huang Zhong talked about it one by one. How to choose, but Huang Zhong is the main one. After all, Huang Zhong is the head of the three armies. Huang Zhong slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly sighed.
"Now is a critical time, as the commander of the three armed services, I really should not look ahead and delay the fighter plane like this. It turned out that Wen Yuan and Yuan Zhi both had the intention of going out to the army, so they made up their minds!! ”
As soon as Huang Zhong's words fell, Zhang Liao and Xu Shu were all happy. The three of them deliberated for a while. Huang Zhong then sent Zhang Liao to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to pursue first, and ordered Guan Xing to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to respond from behind. Guan Suo led 2,000 soldiers and horses to take the path to intercept and kill. When everyone got the order, they came out one after another, and rushed out of Nanzheng with all their soldiers and horses.
However, it was said that Zhang Liao led the troops first, urging the army to move quickly, and suddenly a group of men and horses poured out at the entrance of the forest, and the general led by Hua Xiong was none other than Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong held the dragon Jiao big knife in his hand, and the tiger's eyes were wide open, and he shouted.
"Hua Ziwei is here! Who dares to !? ”
Seeing this, Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, and he knew that Huaxiong must be broken off here, so as to buy time and allow the Shu army to withdraw. After Zhang Liao finished thinking about it, he raised the halberd above the sky, and the horse flew out, and said in a loud voice.
"Puff Hugh is arrogant, look at me Zhang Wenyuan to take your head!!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, he saw that it was Zhang Liao who was killing, his face froze, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rode his horse to meet him. The two horses intersected in a moment, Zhang Liao's injuries healed, and he attacked violently, only to see Fang Tian's halberd like a shock, flying stabbing and barking, and the move was swift. Hua Xiong twisted his knife to resist, and the two weapons slammed rapidly, and 'Peng Peng' roared endlessly. Suddenly, Zhang Liao's momentum burst out, as if killing the bloody Yan Overlord Halberd Method, Fang Tian's painting halberd was like a surge of blood, splitting, sweeping, stabbing, squeezing, picking, chopping, endlessly changing, dominating all directions. Hua Xiong gradually couldn't resist. Seeing this, Zhang Liao shouted, and suddenly the offensive intensified. Seeing that Hua Xiong was in danger, when he was abrupt, Hua Xiong's eyes were violent, and he suddenly attacked, and the dragon Jiao big knife was like a thousand jun, and it suddenly opened the Fang Tian painting halberd that Zhang Liao stabbed. Hua Xiong suddenly turned defense into offense, and used all his strength to attack Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao shook his spirits and stabilized his position, Fang Tian's halberd danced impermeable, as if resisting Huaxiong's offensive. Hua Xiong attacked dozens of rounds, but he still didn't break through, his stamina was insufficient, and he saw that the knife style was gradually chaotic. Zhang Liao saw it in his eyes, secretly gathering momentum, just waiting for Huaxiong to reveal his flaws, and suddenly broke it with lightning speed. Hua Xiong was also cunning, and suddenly made a strong attack, and the dragon Jiao's big sword was strong, and if there was a tendency to split the mountains and split the sea, he suddenly slashed at Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao hurriedly moved to dodge. How do you know that Hua Xiong killed the ground but it was a false move, and he suddenly reined in the horses and quickly retreated. Seeing this, Zhang Liao was so angry that he was on fire, and he scolded unconsciously, and suddenly chased after him. Hua Xiong escaped into the crowd, and seeing that Zhang Liao was about to arrive, suddenly arrows shot out violently in the Shu army. Zhang Liao hurriedly swung the halberd and fired the arrow. The tide of arrows came fast and fast, and Rao was Zhang Liao, who was also forced to retreat. Hua Xiong took advantage of the situation and led his troops to flee quickly. Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, and he made a move to draw a halberd and shouted loudly.
"Night mouse, don't want to escape!! The armies will fight with me, and they must kill the Shu dog without leaving a piece of armor, and the blood will flow like a river!! ”
There seemed to be endless murderous aura in Zhang Liao's voice, and the three thousand Tang soldiers fought to kill, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth. Hua Xiong galloped wildly, leading his troops to look at a small road and flee. Heavy rain for several days made it difficult to travel in the mountains, and the two armies fled and rushed away. At dusk, Zhang Liao urged the army all the way, and saw that the distance between the two armies was shrinking.
At this moment, not far ahead, I saw a large number of people and horses, with flags all over the sky, it was the Shu army! Zhang Liao was overjoyed and was about to rise up and kill. At this time, there was a rush of shouting and killing behind him, and it was Guan Xing who led the troops to arrive. Now that a new force is coming, if you don't rush to kill, when will you wait? Zhang Liao made a move to draw a halberd and shouted.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while! If you can capture Zhuge Villager, Shu will definitely be in chaos, and the armies will obey the order and rush to kill with me!! ”
After Zhang Liao finished drinking, he whipped his horse and flew out. The two Tang soldiers shouted in unison, with a fierce momentum, and looked at the Shu soldiers in front of them and rushed to kill. Suddenly, the sound of artillery broke out on the mountain roads on both sides. I saw Ma Dai leading an army out from the left, and Pan Ping leading an army out from the right, and the two troops and horses were interspersed like an overwhelming force. Zhang Liao's complexion changed greatly, and before he came back to his senses, Ma Dai and Pan Ping had already led soldiers and horses to crash into the killing. The two Shu soldiers were like two huge spears, as if they had stabbed the Tang soldiers out of two huge holes. Tang Bing was unexpected, and there was a big chaos. Hua Xiong slammed his horse back, his eyes were impressive, and he roared sharply.
"The thieves are in the middle of the scheme!! All the troops will go with me to capture Zhang Wenyuan!! ”
Hua Xiong cheered together, and the Shu soldiers who had fled in embarrassment immediately turned around one after another and rushed towards ** Fei from the middle road. Hua Xiong took the lead, raised his knife and crashed into the chaotic army, and the dragon Jiao's big knife danced like a violent wind and lightning, rushing left and right, no one dared to stop it, as if entering the realm of no one.
At this time, Zhang Liao knew the plan, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army. Suddenly, a violent sound sounded in my ears. I saw Hua Xiong's face hideous and vicious, and he shouted with all his might.
"Zhang Wenyuan!! I'm going to take your dog's life today!! ”
Endless crises loomed over suddenly. Zhang Liao turned his horse, and there was a sound of breaking the air, and the dragon Jiao's big knife slashed over like thunder. Zhang Liao hurriedly turned around and avoided it, narrowly avoiding it. Hua Xiong brushed his horse, immediately reined in the horse, and turned back to fight again. At such a critical moment, the more chaotic the more you will die. Zhang Liao was in danger, holding a halberd and facing Huaxiong. Hua Xiong has a pair of red tiger eyes, even violent and fierce light, and the dragon Jiao's big knife attacks violently, as if breaking the mountain. It turned out that Huaxiong and Zhang Liao fought fiercely just now, but they kept one hand, and now they fought with great momentum, and they were even more powerful. Zhang Liao gathered his breath and struggled to resist. said that it was too late, and the two of them killed dozens of rounds in an instant, and the battle was so fierce that no one dared to approach the soldiers of the two armies.
Hua Xiong attacked violently, eager to kill Zhang Liao. Suddenly, Zhang Liao revealed a flaw, Huaxiong's tiger eyes suddenly flew out two murderous aura, and his momentum skyrocketed, and the dragon Jiao big knife in his hand was like a surging fire, and he shouted in his mouth.
"Zhang Wenyuan! Come on!! ”
