Chapter 297: Striking the West?
The land of Hanzhong, since Cao De came to this place ten years ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHanzhong has almost become one of the richest counties in the Han Dynasty. Except, of course, Luoyang and Chang'an, where the rich are gathered.
However, if a county is measured by vagabonds and beggars, Hanzhong County should be the first county in the world.
In Hanzhong County, as long as you are a living person, you can find a job that can fill your stomach. That's because the Tuntian camp established by Cao De will take in people with all kinds of disabilities, whether it is three religions and nine streams, or all kinds of defects.
Therefore, in terms of various intelligence, the entire Hanzhong County was built into an impenetrable net by Cao De.
Therefore, Jia Xu, who was waiting for Yuan Shu's arrival with a large army in Fangling City, soon received a report from several woodcutters that in the mountains to the north, they found that an army had crossed the mountains, and it was estimated that they should have reached the intersection of the water and the water blockage.
After Jia Xu received this information, he smiled slightly, first gave a few rewards to the person who came to report the news, and then Jia Xu immediately wrote a letter urgently and sent someone to send it to the flood camp that was now marching in the mountains.
Since Cao De led his army through the Qinling Mountains, Yuan Shu set out from Shunyang with an army of 30,000 to Zhuyang City. Then, after Yuan Shu waited for a few more days, the army set off from Zhuyang again and marched along Zhushui to Fangling.
However, the marching speed of Yuan Shu's army was the same as that of a turtle crawling, which made Jia Xu anxious.
And one day, when Jia Xu was fine, when he came to Cao De's study to clean up the watchers, Jia Xu suddenly stared at a map behind Cao De's seat.
Fangling, Cao De has always regarded this place as his base for eastward expansion. So here Cao De has a general's mansion. In this general's mansion, Cao De also regarded this place as his own military mansion, so on the screen behind the table in Cao De's study was a detailed map of Hanzhong County.
And Jia Xu is now staring at this map in a daze.
Soon, a military order was issued from the general's palace. In the military order, Jia Xu asked Ma Zhong to immediately rush to Tin County in the north with the flood camp.
Jia Xu realized that Yuan Shu, who was marching slowly, was probably attacking the east and west. When you let yourself focus on him, you can send troops to attack Tin County. So, Ma Zhong set off.
But just today, two woodcutters came and they brought news that a large army had been spotted near the water to the north. Jia Xu didn't have to think about it to guess that this must be Yuan Shu's sneak attack force.
This kid is really playing with me and someone!
Half a day later, the spies sent by Jia Xu to monitor Yuan Shu's army returned. The spies brought a piece of news that Yuan Shu's 30,000 troops who were originally coming to Fangling suddenly disappeared with 20,000 horses, and only 10,000 horses remained. Moreover, Yuan Shu's banner has also disappeared!
At this time, Jia Xu affirmed his thoughts.
Now, according to the information obtained by Jia Xu, there must be at least 40,000 soldiers and horses dispatched by Yuan Shu this time, and now 10,000 are not far from Tin County, and 20,000 are crossing the mountains and rushing to Tin County.
Tin County, as a very ordinary county in Hanzhong. In peacetime, there was only a garrison of 1,000 men. Now with the addition of Ma Zhong's 10,000 people, there are 11,000 people to garrison. That's pretty much enough.
But just in case, Jia Xu still sent a partial general of the Agni Battalion to Tin County again with 5,000 people to set off to Tin County.
At this time, Jia Xu began to think about a plan to repel Yuan Shu's army.
The road from Fangling to Zhuyang is actually along Zhushui, and then on the basis of the original path, the stone is carved out of the mountain, and a road is paved wide enough. On one side of the road there are mostly steep mountains, and on the other side is the endless flow of tsukumi.
So, Jia Xu made a move. Zang Ba went out of the city with 5,000 cavalry. These 5,000 cavalry belonged to the left lieutenant under the command of the left general of the Blue Dragon Cavalry.
Their predecessor was the Rat Cavalry, which was one of Cao De's earliest cavalry. So, they are strong and proud.
Just a day after the cavalry of the Green Dragon Cavalry roared out of Fangling City, Yuan Shu received this news.
The current Yuan Shu is indeed in the mountains and forests, but not on the way to Tin County, but on the way to Fangling.
Yuan Shu's plan was simple, send a large army to march slowly to attract the attention of the defenders of Hanzhong, and then send a large general to lead an army to attack Tin County in the north.
However, Yuan Shu's arrangement is not just like that. Therefore, the 30,000 army that Yuan Shu used to attract Jia Xu's attention disappeared at once.
However, they did not attack Tin County as Jia Xu expected, but hid in the mountains south of Zhushui and quietly marched towards Fangling at great speed.
In Jia Xu's view, Yuan Shu is playing with the sound of the east and the west, but in fact, Yuan Shu is playing with the real in the virtual, and the real in the virtual.
"Riding the ......" On this road next to the water, it is common to see a large army, but it is really rare to see a large-scale cavalry galloping like this time.
This cavalry is the 5,000 cavalry led by Zang Ba. They roared along the Zhushui and rushed towards the 10,000 troops left by Yuan Shu on the Zhushui Road.
According to common sense, in such a narrow place, there is a cliff on one side and a river on the other. As long as the cavalry can exert its impact power, the infantry will only have the ability to dodge.
Therefore, in Zang Ba's opinion, as long as his cavalry arrives, Yuan Shu's 10,000 miscellaneous fish and shrimp, they can only jump into the water on the side of the road to escape if they are captured.
Therefore, Zang Ba had almost no rest along the way.
Although Yuan Shu's marching speed was slow, he had already walked for seven or eight days, so Yuan Shu's army was not very far from Fangling City. Moreover, before leaving, Zang Ba also told the soldiers who were about to go to war that by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, we would be able to come back and drink the celebration wine prepared for us by Jia Tingshi! The knights set off laughing!
Zang Ba had been running wildly on the waterway with his army for more than three hours. At this time, Zang Ba was less than twenty miles away from Yuan Shujun, so Zang Ba ordered everyone to dismount and rest. After resting, I'm afraid it's time for Yuan Shujun to die.
Before Zang Ba's order could be conveyed, countless soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared from the cliff on the south side of Zang Ba.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The arrow whistled from the cliff and condescendingly into the body of the Blue Dragon Knight who had just stopped to rest.
"Enemy attack...... retreat!" Zang Ba shouted loudly as soon as he found out that he had been ambushed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......
The rain of arrows was still falling, but Zang Ba could only wave the weapon in his hand to block the arrows while quickly organizing the soldiers to retreat.
Zang Ba came fast and walked fast. Fortunately, Zang Ba's previous order to dismount and rest has not yet reached the end, if this wave of sneak attacks is released when the Blue Dragon Knights are eating and resting, I am afraid that their gains will be more than that.
In this sneak attack, except for the fact that the Blue Dragoon Knights suffered a lot of casualties at the beginning, Yuan Shu's gains were not very large.
And when he was ambushed, Zang Ba also immediately made the most correct choice.
Retreat immediately, and stick to the side of the cliff as much as possible.
Although Yuan Shu also used the rolling wood stone in time, the results achieved by the rolling wood stone were not very ideal.
Zang Ba is back? Jia Xu saw that the situation was not right. No matter what, it can't be so fast.
And the first time Zang Ba saw Jia Xu, Zang Ba knelt down on his knees, "The last general is incompetent and has been ambushed by the enemy." ”
