Chapter 373: Zhuge Likes Night Raids (1)
Whether Meng Da should be damned or not, it is not Wu Yi's turn to deal with it for the time being.
Soon, Wu Yi led 140,000 soldiers and horses and also arrived at the city of Hanzhong. In a dilemma, Wu Yi made a difficult decision, that is, the whole army would kill Hanzhong City, as long as Hanzhong City was captured, their 200,000 Shu army would have a way to live.
The retreating troops went back to recapture Jiameng Pass, and after Huang Quan's analysis, this idea was abandoned.
Because, when they found themselves in a dilemma, they were only a hundred miles away from Hanzhong City, and nearly four hundred miles away from Jiameng Pass. At a distance of four hundred miles, when their army retreated to Jiameng Pass, the daylily was cold several times, let alone recapture Jiameng Pass. What's more, after the grain route was cut off, the grain and grass carried by the army was not enough for them to support the Hui army to Jiameng Pass!
The two powers harm each other, and only by going all out to seize Hanzhong City is the only way for their 200,000 Shu troops to survive.
Under the city of Hanzhong, the sound of war drums shook the sky, and Wu Yi did not stop at all when he arrived at the city of Hanzhong, and directly attacked the city.
The army came from afar, it was indeed hard, and it was said that there should not be a rush to attack the city at this time, and it was necessary to let the army rest for at least one night. However, time waits for no one, there is not much grain and grass left in the Shu army, and Liu Bei still has 70,000 troops outside, and he can return to Hanzhong City at any time, in this case, Wu Yi just wants to capture Hanzhong City as soon as possible.
As long as Hanzhong City is taken, their 200,000 Shu troops will not be caught in an urn!
As for the army attacking the city without resting?
Didn't Zhang Ren's vanguard army rest in Hanzhong City for a few days?
The 30,000 vanguard army has been recuperating for so many days, and they are just right to use in the siege at this time!
However, Hanzhong City was not so easy to attack.
Hanzhong City, if Xiangyang City is general, is built according to the Han River, the moat is directly the Han River, and the city is high and the pond is deep, and it is such a strong city as the Hanzhong City. No matter what kind of army, if you want to storm Hanzhong City, you must first solve the moat outside the city wall.
In the past, when Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei to seize Hanzhong City, he ambushed Neiying in the city in advance.
Otherwise, whether Uncle Liu Huang can enter Hanzhong City or not, there are two things to say!
……
Hanzhong City, on the tower of the city gate, Zhuge Liang was looking at the Shu army formation.
Although the Shu army has begun to attack the city, it is only the beginning, they want to get close to the city wall, and then rely on the ladder to climb the wall to fight, at least the moat under the city wall must be filled first!
Yes, although the Shu army attacked the city, Zhuge Liang was not worried.
At the very least, it is impossible to go hand-to-hand today.
Under the city wall, outside the moat, the tide-like Shu army is carrying soil, a basket of sand and soil poured into the moat, but not even a bubble, it was washed away by the river, it seems, the Shu army's action of filling the moat is completely a bamboo basket to draw water?
Not really!
Although the sand is washed away by the river, most of the sand will slowly settle down in the process of washing away, and as long as more sand is dumped, the moat can be slowly filled.
What's more, the Shu army almost surrounded Hanzhong City at this time, and the moat was filled on all sides!
Obviously, once the moat was filled, it would be impossible for the Shu army to attack only one wall.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, and the results of the Shu army's filling of the moat were not much, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shake his head a little. For the commander of this Shu army, Zhuge Liang was a little disappointed.
For most of the day, the Shu army has not been able to fill the moat, which shows that the IQ of the main general of the Shu army is worrying.
In other words, if he Zhuge Kongming commanded the 200,000 army, a mere moat would be able to level him in minutes!
Zhuge Liang no longer paid attention to the action of the Shu army to continue to fill the moat, but ordered Zhao Zilong, who was not far away: "General Zilong, tonight you will lead three thousand iron cavalry to raid the Shu army camp." ”
"No!" Zhao Yun looked overjoyed and gave up his hand.
With 3,000 cavalry, the 200,000 army camp is shaken, under normal circumstances, this is the birthday boy eating arsenic. Even if it is a night attack, the 200,000 Shu army can drown these 3,000 iron horsemen with a mouthful of spit.
However, tonight things are different.
The Shu army came from afar, it must be hard, and when it was attacked by night, how much combat strength did the exhausted Shu army have left?
Originally, Zhang Ren's vanguard army was good to prepare for night attacks, but today's general of the Shu army didn't know what to think, and actually let this vanguard army fill the moat for a day, this kind of physical work also made this vanguard army tired.
Therefore, tonight's Shu army camp, even if there are 200,000 Shu troops stationed, its protection ability is very worrying!
At this point, Zhao Yun naturally understood that with this kind of task that was almost a credit delivery, Zhao Yun accepted it quite happily.
……
On the side, watching the military advisor assign tasks to Zhao Zilong, Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes, stroked the red beard with one hand, held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the other, and tapped lightly on the ground on the city wall, it seemed that Guan Lao Er was expressing his dissatisfaction!
Guan Yu was naturally a little dissatisfied.
In such a big battle, the first battle was actually given to Zhao Zilong, could it be that he Guan Yunchang ate dry rice?
As if sensing Guan Yu's dissatisfaction, Zhuge Liang glanced back at him, and then said with a smile:
"General Yun Chang led two thousand crossbowmen and ambushed beside the official road five miles away from the Shu army camp. When Zhao Zilong returned from the raid, the general only needed to let General Zilong go over and shoot the pursuers behind him. ”
The original owner's wisdom is close to the demon, and the trickery has always been a ring after a ring, and now Zhuge Liang can also do the best out of ten.
After all, the Shu army has 200,000 people, and they may be caught off guard by Zhao Zilong at the beginning, but when the Shu army is really launched, Zhao Yun and they will only have to flee back.
Zhuge Liang believed that Zhao Yun was not a fool, and he would naturally retreat when he saw that the situation was wrong.
In this way, the Shu army will inevitably have a group of men and horses to chase and kill.
At this time, Guan Yu, who was ambushed on the side, just ate this group of chasing Shu troops.
After all, the Shu army might be prepared for a surprise attack, but it would never have been thought that the Hanzhong army would have an ambush after the raid!
……
After assigning Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang went down the city wall and prepared to return to the Taishou Mansion.
To tell the truth, the Shu army concentrated in Hanzhong City, which was more in line with Zhuge Liang's expectations. After the situation of the turtle in the urn was formed, Zhuge Liang was most worried about the Shu army's counterattack on Jiameng Pass.
Although it is said that Jiameng Pass is garrisoned by Wei Yan and 20,000 troops, it should be able to block the counterattack of 200,000 Shu troops.
But there are surprises in everything, right?
In case the Shu army fights back against Jiameng Pass regardless of it and succeeds, when the time comes, it is easy to say that his Zhuge Liang's signboard will not be smashed, but the 200,000 Shu army will be able to return to Shuzhong in seven or eight times. At that time, Zhuge Liang wanted to help the lord counterattack Hanzhong, and there would be a lot of resistance.
Fortunately, I don't know what Wu Yi and Huang Quan think, they still want to come to Hanzhong City?
