Chapter 263: The Battle of Yangping Pass

Although Liu Feng knew that most of these sergeants were not the elite of Cao Cao's army, and this time he had no intention of calculating, but what he wanted to see was just such a result, and he could face such a Cao army when he was handy, so if he really met the elite of Cao Cao's army in the future, he might not be far behind.

In this battle, because Liu Feng contained Cao Pi's main army with elite soldiers on the front, and Ma Chao and Wei Yan were handy at invading on both wings, for a time the generals under Cao Pi's command were overwhelmed, and they could not win the battle despite the numerical advantage, which made these battle-hardened generals hate Liu Feng more and more intensely for a while, but they were helpless.

In Cao Pi's heart, after this wave of fighting, he had no intention of winning, and he was just looking forward to being able to lead the army to withdraw quickly, but at this time, he had just been fighting, and if he withdrew here, the impact on morale would be more serious, so for a while, he could only watch the soldiers under his command gradually change from attacking to passive defense under the impact of Liu Feng's army, and then retreated repeatedly.

Liu Feng looked at the battlefield from afar, and knew that the outcome of today's war had been decided, and this battle, which involved hundreds of thousands of soldiers, would be transmitted to all parts of the Central Plains together with the news that he had taken Hanzhong. It is likely that it is the most powerful of the four.

"Zhuge Liang, this surprise, I don't know if it's a big deal, if you can't make a difference in the short term, I'm afraid that it will die after Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, it will be you......"

Liu Feng watched his generals work together to kill the enemy, but what he thought about was the current situation on the land of China, the rich land of the Central Plains was still almost in the hands of Cao Cao, and the barbarians in the north had been recovered by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's status was still unshakeable, and his command was known as a million elite soldiers.

And Sun Quan of Jiangdong, although the land of Jingzhou was not as he thought, but Jiangdong can be regarded as a solid place, plus it has seventy or eighty thousand elite sailors, and the Yangtze River is separated by natural dangers, so if other forces want to capture Jiangdong, it is not easy, Cao Cao was defeated by Zhou Yu in Chibi before, and he was defeated by the halberd and sunk in the sand, which is proof.

In addition to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, it is Zhuge Liang who is from Liu Bei with Liu Feng, although the important towns of Jingzhou Xiangyang and Jiangxia are in the hands of Zhuge Liang, but these two places are all places of four wars, no matter which direction, there is a risk of being attacked by the enemy, the five counties of Jingzhou in the south and Yizhou in the west are now in the hands of Liu Feng, and Cao Cao is eyeing him in the north, which is already good.

At this time, Liu Feng got Yizhou and Hanzhong, and no longer had to retreat in the five counties in the south of Jingzhou as before, but connected Yizhou and Nanjun, Wuling and other places in one place, forming a siege of Zhuge Liang, so that as long as Liu Feng's troops are sufficient, he can dispatch with Pang Tong's two armies at any time to plot the land of Xiangyang and Jiangxia.

When Liu Feng's thoughts drifted back to the current war, he saw that Cao's army was finally unable to resist the rapid offensive of the army led by Huang Zhong, and had already turned the rear army into the front army, while the original vanguard was resisting the impact of Liu Feng's sergeants while slowly retreating backwards.

"Lord, the old general Huang Zhong asked, then the Cao army has already retreated, is our army taking advantage of the victory to pursue?" At this time, a Jiangling rode a horse in front of Liu Feng and asked.

Such a good opportunity, how could Liu Feng let it go easily, and immediately turned on a straight face, and said to the general: "Go quickly and tell the old general Han Sheng, from here on, chase ten miles and return, within ten miles, you can kill the enemy, all rely on the ability of the three generals!" ”

This simple sentence, when it reached the ears of Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan, the three of them were as if they had won a treasure, and they were all very excited.

In the battle of Yangping Pass, Liu Feng, the new lord of Yizhou, while collecting 40,000 soldiers from Zhang Lu, went out of the pass to meet the enemy, and killed more than 20,000 soldiers under Cao Pi in total, so that the siege of Yangping Pass was relieved, and Cao Pi, who was in charge of the army for the first time, retreated to Yecheng in a hurry.

Liu Feng would not know that this was the news that Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan got a few days later, and it was this battle that had not broken out in the Central Plains for a long time, which made Cao Zhi seem to have a slight advantage in fighting Cao Pi for Cao Cao's inheritance for the first time.

In the night of the same day, singing and dancing in Yangping Pass, swept away the panic caused by Cao Pi leading the army a few days ago, this time successfully took advantage of the battle between Cao Pi and Zhang Lu to get Hanzhong, and Cao Pi did not know that he led the 70,000 army, so that Liu Feng's heart was very happy, therefore, Liu Feng, who had never disdained to hold a celebration banquet, this time set up a banquet on the spot in Yangping Pass, and invited all the generals under his command to the front of the hall to celebrate this great victory.

Long before the banquet began, several Fei Yuwei had already taken the letter written by Liu Feng himself to the direction of Nanjun, Liu Feng did not forget that Pang Tong had been steadily guarding in Jiangling City, and now this trip to Yizhou was finally successfully completed after several months, although Liu Feng had the intention to recuperate for a period of time, and sorted out the various matters in Yizhou, and then made some moves, but at this time some preparations had to be taught to Pang Tong to know.

During this banquet, others did not show much, but Ma Chao, who had just surrendered to Liu Feng and led his Liangzhou Iron Cavalry out of the city for a fierce battle, was so impressed by Liu Feng that he threw himself to the ground, the same Ma Chao, the same 5,000 Liang Iron Cavalry, and the same guard Yangping Pass, but when Zhang Lu was under his command, Ma Chao had nothing but depression in his heart, and he was defeated by Cao Pi when he led the army out of the city, which made him doubt himself for a while.

But in this short day under Liu Feng's hands, not only swept away the gloomy atmosphere in his heart, but also saw the true strength of Liu Feng's army, which made Ma Chao's already somewhat dead heart burn again, he seemed to see that he had trained tens of thousands of cavalry under Liu Feng, and led these cavalry to raze Yecheng to the ground, and then avenged his father and clansmen who died under Cao Cao's butcher's knife.
