Chapter 91: The Battle of Dingjun Mountain (4)

Zhang Ren and a few others, who had been standing outside the military tent, kept staring at Cao Jun in front of them, and never left for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info saw that a lot of Cao cavalry fell into the two trenches that had been dug a long time ago, and several people were very happy, and the most important thing was that the trenches dug effectively stopped the speed of Cao Jun's advance.

Although the third trench was discovered by the Cao army, the location of the third trench was already within the range of the bow and arrow, and because of the first two trenches, the Cao army was not in a hurry to attack at present, which made the generals and soldiers of the Shu army, who had been a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief. However, as for what method Cao Jun would take to solve the third trench, Zhang Ren and others were not clear.

"Liu Xuan, you order the soldiers to keep an eye on the movements of the Cao army at all times, and as long as the Cao army is close to the third trench, immediately order the archers to release their arrows, so that the Cao army can have a good taste of the power of our bows and arrows." Zhang Ren turned his head and said to Liu Bi.

Soon after Cao's army began to attack the peak where Zhang Ren was located, the scouts of the Shu army informed Liu Bei of the news. After Liu Bei learned about it, he was also a little worried, after all, the Cao army had 60,000 people, and General Zhang Ren only had 5,000 people, could he prevent the attack of the Cao army? Liu Bei had no bottom in his heart.

"Military division, now the Cao army has gathered a large number of men and horses, and is attacking General Zhang Ren from the north, west, and south, General Zhang Ren only has 5,000 men and horses, I'm afraid it won't last?" Liu Bei looked at Shi Yuan with a worried face and said.

"My lord, now that the Cao army has gathered all its forces to General Zhang Ren, if the Cao army cannot take this mountain in a short period of time, it will inevitably have a very big impact on the morale of the army. At that point, we will be able to attack in multiple ways and crush the enemy in one fell swoop. Therefore, the key to this battle is how long General Zhang Ren can defend there, so he must order General Zhang Ren to lead the army to defend to the death. In addition, we can send multiple forces to attack and harass the enemy camp in the middle of the night during this period of time, so that the enemy will not have a rest, which can also relieve the pressure on General Zhang Ren. ”

"Good. I'll give an order and let Zhang Ren defend it. In addition, the peak where Liu Feng is located is the closest to General Zhang Ren, so that Liu Feng can lead the soldiers to prepare and support General Zhang Ren at any time. After Liu Bei listened to Shi Yuan's words, his face was a little lighter.

"General Zhang Bao, you lead two thousand soldiers, bring more gongs and drums and other things, go to the Cao army camp at night, and after getting close to the camp, you will order the soldiers to beat the gongs and drums vigorously, and the Cao army who wants to disturb cannot rest well. In addition, I will match your 2,000 men with the best war horses, after you sound the gongs and drums, the Cao army camp will inevitably send troops to attack, you must remember that you are small in number, as soon as the Cao army attacks, you will immediately retreat, and you must not fight with the Cao army. Liu Bei said to General Zhang Bao, who was sitting below.

"Yes."

"General Zhang Bao, don't go to the enemy camp every night, be careful that the enemy will ambush you on the way. Especially after a few harassments, you must be more careful. In addition, you can choose a few more paths to Cao's camp so that the enemy will be confused. After Liu Bei finished speaking, Shi Yuan added some explanations.

"Don't worry, Strategist! I will definitely complete the mission smoothly, and I will ensure that the enemy will not be able to sleep peacefully for a while. Zhang Bao said a few words, then turned around and left, and went to prepare.

"Shiyuan! In the past two days, the spies in Luoyang found out a news, that is, Cao Cao, after learning of the defeat of Xiahou Yuan's army, was ready to personally lead his troops to Hanzhong again, and now he was on the way to Hanzhong, and it was estimated that it would not be long before Cao Cao would lead a large army to Hanzhong. Therefore, Shiyuan must take this opportunity to destroy the Cao army in Hanzhong in one fell swoop and take Hanzhong City, so that we can occupy Hanzhong! Otherwise, if Cao Cao's army arrives, it will be difficult to say. Liu Bei looked at Shi Yuan and said.

"Lord, please rest assured, at most half a month, at least seven or eight days, Cao's army will be defeated, and then it will be when our army takes Hanzhong." Shi Yuan said to Liu Bei with a smile on his face.

Zhang Ren barracks.

It has been more than an hour since Cao Jun found the third trench, and Cao Jun has not made any movement in this more than an hour, and the entire Shu army camp is very quiet. Many soldiers and horses that fell into the second trench were also rescued by Cao's army.

In this more than an hour, Zhang Ren and a few others have also been staying outside the military tent, although the Cao army did not attack them during this period of time, but General Zhang Ren and others are also very careful.

At this moment, I saw a lot of white bags suddenly appear in front of Cao Junjun, who was hundreds of steps away, and they looked like sacks from a distance, and they were all bulging.

"Look, general, the enemy is moving." Liu Bi said hurriedly on the side.

After Zhang Ren heard Liu Bi's words, he also hurriedly and carefully looked at Cao Jun in front of him. I saw that hundreds of soldiers came out of Cao's army at this time, and one of them grabbed a white bag and put it on his shoulder. After all the soldiers each carried a bag, I saw that these soldiers began to move towards the side of the Shu army.

There are also many soldiers with shields around these soldiers, probably to prevent the bows and arrows of the Shu army!

"Cao Jun, what are you going to do? Are you going to fill the trenches? Zhang Ren seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

"But how did Cao Jun get those white bags?"

Seeing that Cao Jun in front of him was getting closer and closer to him, Zhang Ren saw more clearly.

Finally, Zhang Ren understood and knew what was going on with those white bags, it turned out that these white bags were sewn together by Cao Jun with two pieces of cloth. But how could there suddenly be so many white cloths in Cao Jun's army? Don't......

Since the second ditch was no longer within the range of the Shu army's bows and arrows, the Cao army filled the second ditch without any interference or casualties. Then, without waiting for a break, Cao Jun continued to move forward again.

"Shoot the arrows." Liu Bi shouted loudly after seeing Cao Jun enter the range of the bow and arrow.

When Cao Jun was still ten paces away from the third trench, he saw that the soldiers carrying the bags suddenly ran forward like crazy, completely ignoring the bows and arrows flying above their heads.

It turned out that Zhang Jaw had found a lot of dead soldiers in the army. Zhang Jaw also knew that if he had been under the protection of the shield, he did not know when he would be able to fill the third trench. This day is about to pass, if you can't even get a few trenches on this day, then how can you go to see all the generals of the Cao army.

So he looked for a lot of dead soldiers, and under the protection of his shield, when he was still a dozen steps away from the trench, these dead men all rushed desperately to the trench in front.

The distance was so close, although there were a lot of bows and arrows on their heads, there were also many dead soldiers of the Cao army who went to the side of the ditch and threw their bags into the ditch.

After the death of the dead men who carried the bags, there were also a lot of bags in the trenches, and the whole trench was filled in about half.

Seeing that this method was not bad, Zhang Jaw immediately ordered the next wave of dead soldiers to carry the bags and continue to advance. As in the previous wave, after all the dead were dead, the ditches were filled in quite a bit. It is estimated that in another wave, the trench will be almost filled.

"Soldiers, rush! Avenge the dead brethren. After sending out the last wave of dead soldiers, he shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him.
