The gate of Jicheng, which had been closed for many days, was opened, and Xu Shu and Jiang Wei led 5,000 soldiers and nearly 1,000 chariots to challenge the Wei army. Vertex updates are the fastest

Cao Zhen was thinking about how to ensure the safe evacuation of the army from Longyou in the account. Although he wanted to block the news and stabilize the morale of the army, Sima Yi's 30,000-strong army went east, and the commotion was not small, and some people in the army had already begun to mumble quietly.

Ma Chao stole into the pass, all the way to Chencang, and the enemy's Hanzhong army also happened to arrive at this time, it was really too clever to calculate step by step, according to this, the enemy in Jicheng and Shangzhong, I am afraid that there will be action in the next two days.

He also wanted to take advantage of the night to let the army quietly withdraw, but as soon as he remembered what happened to Cao Xiu, he deliberately arranged a night attack to confuse the enemy, and even laid an ambush in advance, so that the enemy thought it was a trick to lure the enemy, but the enemy saw through it and sent the army out of the nest to pursue, so that almost the entire army was wiped out.

So what to do? He's got a big head, and he hasn't come up with anything good to do.

In the end, he could only hope to learn from the enemy, to be able to fight a small victory, to hit the enemy's confidence, and then the armies covered each other, and after slowly retreating into the Weishui narrow road, he held on to Linwei to ensure the smooth return of the army to help Guanzhong.

However, now there are so many enemy troops in Guanzhong, if it is too late to go back, what if Chang'an is lost?

Alas, it's hard for me to die!

At this moment, the sergeant entered the tent and reported: "General, the enemy has sent thousands of chariots out of the city to challenge our army. ”

It seems that the enemy has already calculated that their army has entered Guanzhong, and now they want to take advantage of the chaos to attack, Cao Zhen hurriedly gathered the generals and urgently discussed countermeasures.

"Although the enemy's calculations are very accurate, I believe that we have surrounded Jicheng these days, and it is impossible for the enemy to really know the actual situation in Guanzhong." So far, Cao Zhen is now explaining the situation to everyone and expressing his own analysis.

The generals looked nervous, but they also thought that Cao Zhen's words were reasonable, that is, the current Weishui narrow road was under their own control, but they still didn't know the situation in Guanzhong, not to mention the enemy who was surrounded in Jicheng.

Alas, it was really the enemy who moved too fast, and the enemy situation in Guanzhong changed three times a day, and even the defenders in Guanzhong themselves couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't report it.

"General Zuo Zhang Bing went out of Wudu, it seems that he is more than lucky. Now, the garrison in Guanzhong is empty, and it is necessary to urgently send a large army to help. However, if we retreat overnight like this, we will definitely be fiercely pursued by the enemy army in Jicheng and Shang, so we need to fight a victory to deter the enemy in order to ensure the safe retreat of the army. Speaking of this, Cao Zhen couldn't help but sigh

Coughed a few times, then raised his hand to stroke his injured shoulder.

When the generals heard that Zhang was gone, and saw that Cao Zhen was seriously injured, they were even more frightened.

Cao Zhen found that he was excited, and his words were too much, and he hurriedly added: "Rest assured, now that Shang Shufu shoots Sima Yi, he has led an army of 30,000 to the east to return to Guanzhong." Just in case, we must focus on protecting the pass, on the one hand, to cover Sima Yi's return to the army, and on the other hand, to strive for heavy damage to the enemy army in Jicheng. In the past, they were strong in Jicheng, and we attacked

There will be too many casualties, and now, they take the initiative to fight, it is time for us to serve the country and fight to the death! ”

Fortunately, Cao Zhen has always been good to his subordinates, and although the generals were suspicious, they were immediately ordered to go and prepare for battle.

Cao Zhen is right, even if you want to go back, you have to defeat the enemy before you can go back safely.

After everything was ready, Cao Zhen led the army out of the camp to meet Xu Shu and Jiang Wei.

Although after arriving in Tianshui County, the Wei army did not really fight with the Shu army except for one attack on the city, but after all, when they were in Linwei, they once suddenly attacked and repelled the enemy and captured their four catapults, which can be regarded as a victory.

Although the four catapults were damaged by the enemy's catapults for the first time after they arrived, after all, they were the enemy's things, and destroying them in their own hands was also a kind of victory.

Only Cao Zhen and the two who joined the army later figured out that this was completely a trap for the enemy!

However, they are bitter in their hearts, and they can't say, and they can only say that it was pure accident, and their luck was too bad.

Otherwise, the army will be even more afraid of the enemy, and the battle will be even more impossible to fight.

Now, Cao Zhen saw the enemy's chariot array again, and his heart was even more bitter.

He suddenly discovered that if the four catapults had not been damaged, they were now quietly deployed in the formation, and they were the best weapon to fight the enemy's chariots.

You see, so many chariots are huddled together, all of them are wooden, although in many places they are covered with iron sheets to prevent rocket attacks, but after all, they are wooden, and if a lot of stones and bricks are thrown at them, I don't believe that thing can hold it!

That thing moves slowly, and once it is smashed, it is impossible to evacuate quickly, so it can only be smashed in vain!

Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart, if the enemy had deliberately given him a lot of chariots, and when he had laid out a chariot formation and surrounded all sides, and the sergeants were holding on inside, he suddenly launched a fierce stone-throwing attack, wouldn't it have killed and injured countless people?

If you want to learn this enemy's things secretly and make them yourself, they may be destroyed.

It's like getting four catapults and almost losing your life.

Such an enemy is really terrible!

No, no, no, we can't think about this now, we must encourage everyone to move forward and inflict heavy losses on the enemy!

Cao Zhen cheered up and ordered all the troops to line up and arrange for the generals to lead the army to the battle.

Xu Shu and Jiang Wei led the sergeants to line up and shouted in front of the formation: "Hey, you have been in Jicheng for some days. We have been waiting for you to attack the city, so why don't we see you coming? Is it because they are afraid of us? Since you're scared, why don't you go back sooner? ”

Several Wei generals were ordered by Cao Zhen to know that these enemies liked to spread rumors and confuse people's morale before the battle, and now they also had to learn to fight back, so they immediately responded loudly: "Your tricks have been discovered by our general Zhengxi!" Let me tell you, what Ma Chao and what Wei Yan among you who sneaked up on Guanzhong have all been wiped out by our Guanzhong defenders! You think Ma Chao has sneaked up

Guanzhong, it was your trick that succeeded, in fact, we deliberately let them go. As soon as they arrived in Guanzhong, they were ambushed by our army, and now they are hanging on the gate of Chang'an! ”

This move was Cao Zhen's strategy to resist the enemy after carefully analyzing the reasons for Cao Xiu's defeat.

Well, in fact, Zhang Ji has used it a long time ago, but Cao Zhen is more active this time.

When the Wei army suddenly got the good news, they immediately thundered with joy and their morale was greatly boosted.

Fortunately, the ordinary soldiers of the Shu army didn't know that Ma Chao and Wei Yan were suddenly released into the gate, and they didn't understand what was going on at once, otherwise it would really have a big effect. (To be continued.) )
