Chapter 1034: The Masters in the City

When the two armies are in a stalemate, the first to retreat will be in passivity, this is the basic military common sense for the battlefield generals, if the military situation is urgent, they must first go all out to attack the opponent slightly before retreating, Xiahou saw the opportunity to put all the remaining forces in his hands for this purpose, but the purpose of Zhang He's attack is to tightly entangle the opponent with Lima Chao Pound's Sizhou battalion, and now see the opponent's increase in the impact of the attack can roughly grasp the enemy's general's mind, in this battle he has two advantages, One is the hidden combat power of the Tiger Guard, and the other is the gap in the speed of information transmission, and it is precisely because of these two points that Xiahou Yuanrang made a slight mistake in judgment, and it will be difficult to correct it without paying a certain price.

In the face of the impact of the enemy's superior forces, the Tiger Guards did not retreat at all, maybe in normal times they will also use the heavy momentum to slow down the opponent's sharpness, but tonight will never be the case, the enemy shows a strong They will be even stronger than it, unless the blood is splashed five steps and dies on the spot, it is not an inch, and the backup soldiers will take over the gap after the fall of their companions at any time! Under such momentum, coupled with the long-suppressed explosion of combat power, the Tiger Guards firmly withstood the all-out assault of Xiahou Xuan's troops, and tightly wound the opponent through the ever-changing formation!

If the current Cao Jun is compared to a giant elephant, Zhang He's Tiger Guard is like a giant python, no matter how hard the other party hits, he will never let go! And in the face of the Yan army's tactics, Xiahoudun is also a headache, now the whole army retreats, and it is bound to suffer the huge damage of the Yan army's rank and tail pursuit, but if the fight to the death does not retreat, once the sky is bright, they will be completely exposed to the impact of the enemy's Sizhou iron cavalry, and at that time, the Tiger Guard Army and the Sizhou battalion will cooperate with their combat power will increase exponentially, and it is still unknown whether these tens of thousands of horses can withdraw.

How to minimize one's own losses when the situation is passive is also a skill that a qualified general must master, and at some times it is more difficult to survive in defeat than to win a battle! In Xiahoudun's body, there is undoubtedly a decisive place for the general, the so-called "poisonous snake eats hands, and strong men break their wrists." "Is it the impact of the Tiger Guards now, or is it the double blow of the Yan Army's cavalry cooperation after dawn? Yuan Rang chose the former, no matter what, he wanted to preserve the elite of the Cao army in his hand as much as possible.

The duel between the Yan army and the Cao army that took place one hundred and eighty miles east of Hanzhong City finally ended with the defeat of Xiahou Dun's troops for forty miles at dawn, and Yuan Rang was determined that Cao Jun's actions were very firm, and they would rather be bitten hard by the Tiger Guards than suffer the impact of the opponent's Sizhou Iron Cavalry! Taking advantage of the enemy's initiative to retreat, the Yan army completely took the initiative of the battlefield in its hands, and continued to do its best to block the retreat of the other party, while not forgetting to eat the benefits of the mouth. Wrong judgment on the battlefield will definitely pay the corresponding price, this battle proved the correctness of this truth, after paying more than 10,000 casualties of soldiers, Cao Jun was slightly free from the entanglement of the enemy's foot soldiers! But what followed was the raid and hunt of the Sizhou battalion!

Beast King Helmet, Silver Armor, Sky Wolf Running Thunder Jade Dragon Pony, the figure of the battle with the evil Dian Wei before the Yan army camp under the Jiameng Pass reappeared, as the strongest arrow in the whole army Ma Chao also gave full play to the power of the Shenwei Tian General in this pursuit battle, although he was injured in the body or the seventeen generals who were cut off after the Cao camp was broken, and cut down three sides of the banner, that is, Xiahou Yuanrang was almost injured by Meng Qi's wind and thunder marksmanship after he broke it himself! Originally, although Ma Chao's martial arts were slightly above Xiahoudun, the gap would not be so obvious, and at this time, he was still injured and could not recover, if it was a normal fighting general, it would be the latter who would not have the upper hand for a long time. But in the pursuit, Ma Chao's momentum has been accumulated to the peak state, and his wind and thunder marksmanship is quite similar to Guan Yu's Qinglong Eight Slashes, and often the decisive victory can only be caused by the two or three combinations.

Originally, with the momentum of this pursuit, the results of the Sizhou battalion could be further expanded, but although Cao Cao suffered a heavy blow after receiving the news of the attack on Micang Mountain, it did not affect his judgment on the battlefield too much, Cao Hong personally led the Flying Bear Army to meet and block the edge of the pursuit of the Sizhou battalion, out of caution to see the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Pang De also terminated the pursuit battle in a timely manner, and the side in which the huge advantage on the battlefield blindly used the strong to be defeated by the enemy There are countless examples, Now that the Cao army is about to withdraw, the Sizhou battalion of the Tiger Guard Army is moving closer to Hanzhong City, joining forces with it, and then pressing it is the most stable way, which is also Zhang He's explanation before this battle.

Zhang Hu in Hanzhong City could judge Cao Cao's intentions from Cao Jun's movements, and even under such a blow, Cao Mengde could still maintain a cool head and quick response, and his response in the current defeat can be regarded as the most tenacious. Zicai and Wen Yuan didn't want to cooperate with Zhang He and Ma Chao to deal a bigger blow to the Cao army, the problem was that it was unrealistic for them to launch a full-line counterattack in Hanzhong City, although the opponent's military rations were burned, the strength of the army alone was still far above the Yan army, and the defensive battle for more than a month was certainly heavy losses on the other side, but the Yanyun army's Chang'an battalion also had great consumption, at this time, the combined forces of the two armies were calculated and the tens of thousands of soldiers available in the hands of Zhang Hu of the Han Zhong army in the city were only 90,000, and the decline in combat power caused by the lack of food of the enemy army would never show up in the short term, Rush out of the city to launch a counterattack against the enemy, and maybe even be used by the enemy! At this time, the battle situation in Hanzhong was already extremely favorable to the Yan army, and Zicai was never willing to give the other party any chance to turn over!

Seeing Cao Hong led the army to meet Xiahou Dun's retreat, although he did not know the enemy's reality, but Zhang He, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals without exception chose to be stable, the disadvantage needs to be calm when the advantage is also general, the Tiger Guard Sizhou Battalion immediately waved the army westward after achieving certain results, and after most of the day's march, it came to the city of Hanzhong, at this time the offensive of the Cao army in order to cover the retreat of the main force also reached the point of the end of the strong crossbow, and saw the Yan army brigade to aid Cao Cao personally led 30,000 elite soldiers after the break, The entire Cao army brigade pulled up the camp and retreated at night, without dragging mud and water!

The news of the retreat of the Cao army spread almost instantly throughout the whole city of Hanzhong, at this time, whether it was the Yan army or the soldiers of Hanzhong, including the 200,000 people in the city, they all felt relieved and happy, although they had a very firm confidence in holding the city, but the Cao army's army pressed the border, and the daily assault still brought extremely heavy pressure to the soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong, the other party was not under the command of King Yan, and there was no lack of precedent for slaughtering the city after the attack of the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, especially when Cao Cao marched into Xuzhou, he was killed thousands of miles of Chidi! Now that such pressure and threat have been released in a day, it is inevitable that everyone will feel relaxed in their hearts.

After a little rectification outside the city and pressed the camp, Zhang He Ma Chao two generals led some soldiers into Hanzhong City, at the city gate to greet them not only Zhang Hu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and other Yan army comrades, Zhang Lu also led the Hanzhong ministers to greet each other, in addition, there are more people who spontaneously came to Hanzhong to cheer, the lively and grand scene is very exciting, Ma Chao's handsome and unrivaled face is slightly reddened can not hide the excitement and excitement, since receiving the military order Chang'an Sizhou two battalions to enter the customs together to this time has been more than three months, the Yan army finally repelled the enemy army! In it, the battle went through several ups and downs, and the outcome was unpredictable, and Cao Jun once had a great upper hand.

Compared with Ma Chao's excitement, Zhang He's performance is more calm, he is no stranger to the lively scene in front of him, remembering that when he accompanied King Yan to send troops to reinforce Xuzhou, Beihai, Kong Rong's Beihai and Tao Qian's Youzhou army at that time were all cheered like this. However, with Zhang Liao's preemptive welcome, Jun Yi also strode forward to hug him, although Wen Yuan's move was a bit noisy, but in such an atmosphere, it was obviously not rude, the love between the Yan army comrades was very deep, especially the two generals were even more sympathetic to each other, and Jun Yi had also received a knife from Wen Yuan in the battle of Bingzhou, but after not beating the two of them, they gradually became confidants!

"The place where Wenyuan Division is subordinate has already shown the prestige of our army, and now this Hanzhong defense of the city has made Cao Mengde retreat in vain, no matter where else, the first good division of our army will be the Yanyun Army!" Zhang He slapped Zhang Liao's shoulders vigorously with both hands and said, from the other party's bloodshot eyes and rather haggard face, he said that he had been under pressure during this time, how could Zhang Wenyuan have been like this?

"Jun Yi praised it, this battle is still in the military division scheduling, Jun Yi you have a clever plan, Su Wen Yan Wang is very fond of General Wei Yan, watching his thousands of miles to attack Micang has the courage and knowledge worthy of the general's talent, Liao just helps the military division to do his duty. This first good guard is not the heart of my soldiers, but the name of the first strong army has indeed been longed for a long time. Zhang Liao first said a few words of humility, and then said with a smile, although there is no joke in this speech, but it is also a little serious!

"Hahahaha, Wen Yuan is really fast-talking, Yan Yunjun does have this qualification, but King Yan will never easily want to let it, now although Cao Jun has withdrawn from the war, it is over, if you and I can win Cao Cao for King Yan, it will be a great achievement, and we must rely on our own abilities here!" Zhang He did not hide his admiration for Yan Yunjun, but he would never let the name of the first strong army easily, as soon as this remark came out, the two generals looked at each other and laughed, and the endless pride and ambition were all in it, which made people feel emotional.

The second general talked and watched the onlookers nodded again and again, when they won the big victory, what they thought about was how to better kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, to have such a loyal person as a general, no wonder Liu Yi, the king of Yan, can dominate the world! After saying that, Zhang Liao accompanied Jun Yi to come forward to meet the military advisor and the people in Hanzhong with courtesy, and Zhang Lu Junyi was extremely polite, and the stability of Hanzhong will depend on this person for a long time in the future, and the key Zhang He is also clear in his heart!
