Chapter 1032 Disaster is not a one-way street

The battle at the head of the city in Hanzhong continued, and the morale of the Yan soldiers, who were encouraged by the good news, gradually reversed the initiative of the battlefield again, this scene was not uncommon in the attack and defense of several days, and the two sides also exchanged advantages and disadvantages from time to time, but neither could completely defeat the tenacious opponent. Either offensive and defensive or defenders, maybe they can only tell the winner when they fight until the last person sheds the last drop of blood, and the Yan army and Cao army are already numb to this kind of blood and tragedy.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was watching the battle under the city, had stopped the slight tremor of his body, and seemed to be deaf to the shouting of the Yan army at the head of the city, and the war drums that ordered the siege soldiers to attack did not stop. But what they can't see is that the lord's hands are clenched into fists in the sleeves of his robe, his nails sink into the flesh and blood is flowing, he is using this way to force himself to be quiet, drive away the resentment and disappointment in his heart, no matter whether he can capture the Hanzhong City in front of him or how to deal with the offensive of the Cao army at this time, he must not stop, otherwise it can only prove that what the Yan army shouted is true, and at that time, as long as the soldiers are slightly chaotic in the city, Zhang Hu and Zhang Liao will definitely lead the Yan army to counterattack on all fronts!

The loss of military rations is bound to not last, in terms of the current war situation, it is definitely a shocking gamble to take Hanzhong by relying on the only surplus grain in the army, Cao Cao can no longer afford to gamble, and now he is almost certain that Zhang He, Ma Chao and others who are facing off with Xiahoudun will not do their best, they have the greatest confidence in Zhang Hu and Zhang Liao's defense in Hanzhong, and what they are waiting for is an opportunity to completely defeat the enemy in front of them, and this opportunity has come with the fall of Micang Mountain!

Retreat back to Shu to defend Xiongguan Jiameng, this is the ending that Cao Cao most does not want to see, but at this time it has almost become his only choice, if he attacks Hanzhong desperately, once Xiahoudun can't stop Zhang Hema Chao's joint attack on whether these hundreds of thousands of troops can retreat with all their bodies will be marked with a question mark! That enemy army that came out of nowhere was Liu Yi's biggest killer in the Battle of Hanzhong, and perhaps the enemy army began to set a huge trap for this at the beginning of the battle! Cao Cao was never reconciled to this, but the facts in front of him were so cruel, he lost the main duel with Liu Yi, and he was able to fight a battle, and the battle was very likely to be wiped out!

Five consecutive days of uninterrupted siege came to an end this evening, and the Cao soldiers finally retreated, and they fought hard for several days and paid countless casualties but were never able to take the head of Hanzhong City, and the Yan soldiers did not immediately counterattack, because in the retreat, the opponent's position was still orderly, leaving no flaws for them to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Moreover, the defenders were exhausted by the last few days of fighting, and the retreat of the enemy was undoubtedly an excellent respite.

In the evening, there was a discussion with a small number of participants in the Cao army's tent, how to retreat has become the theme of tonight, attacking Hanzhong Cao Jun took the initiative to leave if he wanted to, but at this time, Xiahou Dun, who confronted Zhang He and Ma Chao's two generals, was not able to retreat easily, and the rash evacuation would only give people a handle, it must be known that Ma Chao and Pang De's two generals are rare talents who command the cavalry, and Zhang He, the commander of the Yan Army and the Tiger Guard, is more worthy of the title of handsome, and the news of the fall of Micang is more than what they have learned. I can't say that at this time, the counterattack of the Sizhou battalion of the Tiger Guard Army has been launched.

Maintaining the frontal offensive unchanged and at the same time sending generals to respond to the retreat of Xiahou Xuan's troops, and then approaching Jiameng Pass with alternate cover has become the consensus of everyone in Cao Ying, but it has to be said that in this discussion, the atmosphere in the marshal's tent is extremely depressing, and just yesterday, with the progress of the siege, the generals also had great ambitions to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop! In just one day, the situation has been completely reversed, and the affairs of the soldiers are indeed unpredictable, and a fatal blow at the key point can affect the change of the direction of the entire campaign.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, just when the people of Cao Ying were seeking a way to withdraw their troops, another piece of news came and gave them a heavy blow! Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Shirt Army of the Yan Army, led tens of thousands of elites to attack Yiyang at the speed of a rapid march with the cooperation of the cavalry. The two battles in Yanzhou in Hanzhong concentrated the vast majority of the elite of the Cao army, and most of the counties in Jingzhou were the soldiers of the county state, and the reputation of the Yan Army's Yellow Shirt Army was not as loud as that of Long Xiang Huwei and Yan Yunjun, but it was also among the eight main forces, and who else dared to underestimate the combat power of the Yan soldiers? He avoided the truth and made a surprise attack on Hanzhong, Liu Yi returned a hand to draw a salary, and at this time, it was a light army fast forward, and Jing Xiang would not be able to resist him if he lost it!

The opponent's counterattack is one move after another, and under this continuous blow, it is as tough as Cao Cao, and he also has a sense of trance in his heart! Generally speaking, it is extremely dangerous to fight deep into the territory of the other party, which is not taken by the soldiers, but it is also necessary to focus on the situation of the war, Liu Yi's move is undoubtedly to see that his elite is in the two places of Hanzhong and Yanzhou, and with the combat ability of the Yellow Shirt Army, he is not afraid of the combined attack of the remaining forces of the Cao Army in Jingxiang! Leping has Chen Liuying sitting in the town, and the city is still broken, and the lord will be captured, and Yiyang is not as good as the previous one, and the combat strength of the city sergeants cannot be compared, how long can Lu Qian hold on......

Compared with the depressed atmosphere in Cao's camp, the generals of the Yan army in the tent of the Tiger Guard Army were filled with a relaxed look on their faces, Cao Cao's guess was correct, although Xiahoudun was a general, and his subordinates were all elites in a hundred battles, but in the case of not having an advantage in troops and no geographical advantage in hand, if Zhang Hema did it with all his might, he would not be able to completely block it, not to mention that the other party would have no size in these few days! The Sizhou battalion of the Tiger Guard Army had only one purpose, to firmly attract all the attention and strength of the Cao army to himself and Hanzhong City, and to create the most favorable conditions for Wei Yan's meridian surprise army to raid Micang Mountain, and even risked it at the expense of this!

It is difficult to say that Zhang Junshi and Wen Yuan may not be in contact with Ma Chao and Pang De for a short time, but Zhang He, who has cooperated with him for many years, knows his ability! But this does not become a reason for him to be completely relieved, the gains and losses of Hanzhong City are very important to the battle in front of him, to the overall situation and to the great cause of King Yan, and Jun Yi will not allow him to make any mistakes! Zhang Liao is good at defending the army, and the division is even more proficient in planning, but Cao Cao and his Cao army are by no means idle, from a military point of view, the horn is the best way to defend, but he can see clearly Zhang Hu can also see clearly, in Hanzhong City, his understanding of the enemy army and the grasp of the situation are still above Junyi, the Tiger Guard Sizhou Battalion has always been not right, Xiahoudun is attacking with all his strength, just giving him huge pressure to increase his troops, it is Zicai's arrangement, since King Yan has decided to go to the Meridian Valley surprise attack, he will go all out for it!

Once Wei Yanqi succeeded in attacking Micang Mountain, the battle situation in Hanzhong would be extremely beneficial to the Yan army, Xiahou Dun's nearly 100,000 elites were pinned down and entangled by the second army of Huwei Sizhou, and Cao Cao was also firmly attracted by himself and Wenyuan in the city, and when its grain and grass gradually ran out, the counteroffensive of the Yan army was promising, and Zicai did not expect to be able to annihilate the Cao army like the Han and Zhang coalition forces like the previous Sili battle, and there was a huge gap between the two in terms of the combat power of the soldiers and the command of the generals! However, the maximum elimination of the living force of the Cao army can have a huge impact on the future battle situation, and it is worth taking some risks for this, and he is at least sixty percent sure that he will hold Hanzhong before Wei Yanqi's attack on the troops brings definite news, which is already a great exception for Zhang Hu, who has always been steady, and it is also the biggest reason why he can make Zhang He's heart stable, and from the perspective of the battle situation at this time, it is indeed the most ideal design!

"Hahaha, okay, Wen Chang, this kid is worthy of being a general, it's rare that King Yan values him so much, and now Micang Mountain is looking at it, I see why Cao Mengde can continue to attack Hanzhong! He wants to force Zhang, but he can't ask for it, and he will let him repeat the mistakes of Han and Zhang Lianjun and Si Li! General Ling Ming, tonight he will personally lead the army to let Xiahou Yuan let see the real combat power of our Tiger Guard, and tomorrow as soon as the sky is bright is when the general and other iron cavalry are proud, Hanzhong City is related to the overall situation, in order to prevent the Cao army from taking risks and we will immediately launch to move closer to it, the military division and Wen Yuan are afraid that this period of time is also extremely difficult, and it is said that our army ordered the whole army to be mobilized immediately, and after half an hour, the enemy in front of him launched a night battle, and told the sons and daughters that Zhang Mou will also go into battle in person this time, whether he can make contributions to King Yan in Hanzhong depends on tonight, Wen Chang's thousand-mile attack is completed, It's up to us now! After reading out the military information from Zhang Hu, Zhang He did not hesitate to issue an order for the whole army to assemble, and Wei Yanqi attacked Micang Mountain to make meritorious contributions, and Jun Yi's heart was also full of joy, and this method was also what he suggested to King Yan.

As one of the few generals in the world, Jun Yi not only has the vision of the army, of course, it is also unusual, although the battle with Xiahoudun in the past few days has some strength, but he is extremely appreciative of Pang De's ability to lead the cavalry, and the battle formation between the two armies is becoming more and more mature.

"The general can rest assured, Ling Ming is willing to listen to the general's dispatch, and tomorrow he will cooperate with the Tiger Guard Army to defeat all the Cao army of Xiahou Yuanrang!" Pound was eager to reach it when he heard this, and the excitement in his eyes was extremely strong.

"What General Zhang said is extremely true, Ling Ming is also enough to take this position, but how can such a big battle be missing, tomorrow Ling Ming can be in charge of the rear army to command the overall situation, and Chao and Zhonghua should personally go into battle to lead the army to kill!" As soon as Pang De's voice fell, Ma Chao's firm voice came from the side, and Dian Wei was defeated in a battle, and then he led the Sizhou battalion and Cao Cao's army to deal around, even if the poisonous king medicine Meng Qi also had to recuperate in Yangping Pass, he only came to the camp three days ago, he will never fall behind in this battle!
