Chapter 840: The Enemy Meets Again
Ten thousand?
Liu Bei gasped and looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, he didn't expect him to give such a number.
He thought that Zhuge Liang was too much, but he didn't expect that there were too few people.
At present, Liu Bei only has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the transfer of 10,000 soldiers and horses is equivalent to nearly 30% of the troops, which greatly weakens the defense force of Yangping Pass, which naturally makes Liu Bei feel a little worried.
"Prime Minister, will 10,000 horses be too much?" Liu Bei questioned.
"Not much at all." Zhuge Liang replied resolutely, "Dingjun Mountain is the only place where Su thieves can make plans, and the minister dares to bet that Su thieves will definitely make a move on Dingjun Mountain, such a vital place, with 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, not much at all." ”
Liu Bei was thoughtful and silent.
Seeing him hesitate, Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, has you forgotten the lesson of Yinping City?" ”
Liu Bei's body was shocked, and he suddenly woke up.
At the beginning, they judged that Su Zhe would sneak attack Yinping City, but it was precisely because they did not pay enough attention to it that they only sent Guan Ping to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Yinping, which caused Guan Ping to go to seal the Yinping crossing, but there were not enough troops to stay in Yinping City.
It is precisely because of this that Yinping City will be attacked from the sky by the Wei army, which is only less than five hundred.
If Liu Bei had given Guan Ping enough soldiers and horses that day, even if there were only 1,000 soldiers and horses in Yinping City, Wei Yan would not have thought of a sneak attack with only 500 airborne troops.
The lessons of the previous car are vivid, how can Liu Bei not be alerted.
Liu Bei shuddered, and immediately changed his words: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, 10,000 horses are 10,000." ”
Subsequently, Liu Bei immediately ordered Guan Yu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to immediately rush to Dingjun Mountain to set up camp and set up camp.
Guan Yu led the army to set off that night, rushed to the Dingjun Mountain camp, and according to the mountain situation, set up a large camp on the mountainside.
Outside Yangping Pass, after the Wei army failed to test the attack, it was dumbfounded, and there was no movement for seven consecutive days.
The more Su Zhe didn't move, the more uneasy Liu Bei became, and repeatedly sent people to tell Guan Yu that he must strictly guard Dingjun Mountain, and if the Wei army really bypassed Yangping Pass to attack the mountain, he could only hold on and never go to war.
After Guan Yu fell in love with Su Zhe's Tao several times, his arrogance had already been worn out, so he naturally didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, he only strictly guarded the camp, was vigilant day and night, and didn't dare to take any other measures easily.
On the ninth day, the scouts planted in the mountains finally brought back an urgent report, claiming that they had found nearly 10,000 Wei troops in the mountains south of Yangping Pass, heading for Dingjun Mountain.
"Kong Ming's military master is really like a god, Su Zhe, that traitor, really sent troops to come, wanting to sneak attack my Dingjun Mountain!"
Guan Yu snorted sarcastically and threw the information in his hand on the case.
"Father, there are only more than 10,000 people in the Wei army, and our army also has 10,000, should we go to the middle of the road to set up an ambush and kill the Wei army by surprise."
In front of the tent, the young and vigorous young general spoke, and there was a trace of excitement between his eyebrows.
The young player is Guan Yu's second son Guan Xing.
Guan Yu guarded Yizhou, and his family was in Chang'an, only the eldest son Guan Ping followed on the left and right, the second son Guan Xing, and the third son Guan Suo all stayed in the capital.
This time Guan Xing was responsible for carrying grain to Hanzhong, and after the father and son met, Liu Bei asked Guan Xing to stay in order to make up for the loss of the generals and the lack of talent in the army.
At present, Guan Yu's subordinates are dying, and the eldest son Guan Ping was also captured by the Wei army, and there is no one to trust around him, so he has to take Guan Xing to guard the military mountain, so as to be his right-hand man.
Guan Xing's proposal shocked Guan Yu's heart, and a trace of impulse flashed in his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, Guan Yu forcibly suppressed the battle intent and said in a deep voice: "Don't you remember what Your Majesty told us before leaving, he told us to only strictly guard the Dingjun Mountain Camp and not to fight, how can we disobey the order." ”
Guan Xing looked unwilling: "But such a good opportunity, should we miss it and let the enemy army attack my camp?" ”
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "That Su thief is treacherous, you think you are going to ambush him, maybe you will fall for the tricks of the Su thief, this time, how can my father fall for his tricks again." ”
Guan Xing completely lost his temper, so he had to say: "Father's words are reasonable, and the son will arrange it like this, and tell the soldiers to strictly guard against it." ”
Guan Xing received the order and was about to retire, but he remembered something, so he turned around and asked, "Father, don't we really need to leave some soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain?" ”
"In addition to the gentle west slope of Dingjun Mountain, the other three sides are cliffs, and even apes can't climb up, so what is there to be wary of, it is better to concentrate the precious troops in the camp on the west slope." Guan Yu vetoed Guan Xing's proposal.
Guan Xing didn't say anything more, and took the order to retreat.
Guan Yu came to the tent gate, looked at the mountains and forests under the hillside from a distance, and snorted coldly: "Su thief, I, Guan Yu, will never let you be humiliated again this time!" ”
……
Two days later.
To the west of the Dingjun Mountain camp, thousands of Wei soldiers and soldiers drove out of the mountains and forests in an orderly manner and began to assemble in front of the enemy camp.
Wei Yan and Deng Ai rode side by side under the tree, looking at the enemy camp from a distance, and locked on the big banner with the word "Guan".
"It's surnamed Guan again, it seems that we are really close to his Guan family." Wei Yan sneered and glanced at Deng Ai beside him.
Deng Ai smiled: "Then how do we divide ...... What about the division of labor? ”
"Last time, you did the dirty work, and I did the dangerous work, this time let's change it, so that you can also taste what it's like to be thrilling." Wei Yan's tone played with taste.
"Okay, then we'll see you on Dingjun Mountain." Deng Ai said happily.
Wei Yan didn't say anything more, and galloped out.
The flag of the word "Wei" was raised, and Wei Yan led 10,000 Wei troops, lined up in front of the enemy camp, and put on a posture of attacking.
Dingjun Mountain enemy camp.
The 10,000 Han troops were ready to fight, with spearmen and shieldmen lined up on the front line of the camp wall, and crossbowmen forming a firing phalanx, ready to resist the attacking Wei army at any time.
Guan Yu immediately slashed his sword, and looked down at the Wei army under the slope from a distance with a contemptuous gaze, and his bare face burned with disdainful pride.
"Father, the enemy army is waving the battle flag of the word 'Wei', and the leader should be Wei Yan's house." Guan Xing pointed to Wei Jundao down the slope.
"Wei Yan, Wei Yan ......" Guan Yu gritted his teeth, anger burning on his face.
It was Wei Yan's house that parachuted into Yinping, defeated his beloved son Guan Ping, and captured Guan Ping alive, so that he not only lost his eldest son, but also lost face.
Today, it was this Wei Yan again, who led the Wei army to come and try to capture the Dingjun Mountain he was guarding.
Goodbye to the enemy, Guan Yuyan can not be angry.
At this moment, he really wanted to open the camp gate, led the Han army in the camp to rush out, killed the Wei army without leaving a piece of armor, captured Wei Yan alive, and broke his body into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.
In the end, he held back.
In case Su Zhe was treacherous and explained some secret plan to that Wei Yan, when the other party came to cheat, wouldn't he be humiliated by Su Zhe again.
Guan Yu forcibly suppressed his impulse, waved his sword, and shouted: "The warriors of the Great Han, cheer up the general, fight for the Great Han, fight for Your Majesty, and defend Dingjun Mountain to the death!" ”
