Three days later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After nearly three days of non-stop river crossing, Cao's army finally crossed the Han River. After crossing the Han River, Xiahou Yuan ordered the army to set up camp in Zouma Valley.

It didn't take long for Cao's scouts to report the news of the Shu army they had found to Xiahou Yuan and others.

"There are a total of 12 peaks in Dingjun Mountain, Liu Bei led 20,000 troops stationed in the third peak from west to east, and it is also the highest peak among the 12 peaks, in addition to Zhang Ren, Liu Feng, Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun four people led 5,000 soldiers stationed on the first, second, fourth and twelfth peaks respectively, in the east of Dingjun Mountain, there are 15,000 soldiers brought by Zhang Fei from Brazil County, the Shu army has a total of 55,000 people, only 5,000 less than us, this battle will not be very easy to fight!" Xiahou Yuan told the news found out by the scouts to the generals of the Cao Army in the military tent.

"General Xiahou, now that the whole army of the Shu army is stationed on the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can we surround them, surround them but not annihilate them, so that the Shu army may collapse first." After Cao Zhen listened to Xiahou Yuan's words, he looked at his mouth and said his thoughts.

"No, you can't. The Shu army is divided into five parts, and if we want to surround them, we must also divide the soldiers into five parts, which will weaken our strength, and it will not be of little benefit to our army. I suggest that we join forces in one place, concentrate our forces, and destroy the Shu army one by one. The Shu army separates the soldiers, although they are so easy to defend, but they also weaken their own strength correspondingly, so we should concentrate the soldiers to attack the mountain where Zhang Ren is located first, you must know that the mountain where Zhang Ren is located is the road of our army after all, so we should take this mountain first, and then we can attack to the east and wipe out the Shu army one by one. Cao Hong said.

"Zilian, if, according to what you said, if our army attacks, the Shu army from other places comes to attack us, what should we do?" Cao Zhen retorted.

"Zidan, isn't this right! We will attack them one by one, and if they dare to take the initiative to come, then we will fight a decisive battle with them. ”

"Zilian, you are arrogant, thinking that Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Fei are all famous strategists and generals in the world, how can you stupidly send troops to fight us head-on. You also know that our army crossed the Han River so easily, it may be the conspiracy of the Shu army, and you must be extremely careful for today's plan, how can you say such a thing. Cao Zhen was a little annoyed.

"Zidan, you are growing the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige. Easily crossing the Han River, if it is the conspiracy of the Shu army, then why has the Shu army not moved yet, I think it must be that Liu Bei is afraid of our army and does not dare to fight our army head-on! ”

The generals in the military tent saw that these two people were talking more and more heavily, and they all hurriedly persuaded the two of them, and under the persuasion of everyone, these two people may have also noticed their gaffes, and one by one they stopped talking.

"The two generals don't need to be angry, I know that the two generals are both thinking about our army, but they have different opinions. We have different opinions, can we discuss slowly, why bother to fight red-faced, don't you say? Xiahou Yuan, as the coach, also fully carried forward his skills with the mud at this time, and persuaded the two to settle down. Before the battle began, the most taboo was the discord between the generals, Xiahou Yuan knew it, and all the generals present also knew it, so when they saw that the two were a little anxious, the people around them hurriedly persuaded the two.

After Cao Zhen and Cao Hong listened to Xiahou Yuan's words, they also signaled to each other that they had just lost their temper. Seeing that the two were reconciled, the hearts of everyone in the military tent were also relieved at this time.

"What the two generals said has a certain amount of truth, I wonder what the generals here think about this?" Xiahou Yuan said.

"General, I think General Cao Hong is right."

"General, I have the same opinion as General Cao Hong."

"General, General Cao Zhen's thoughts are more stable, and I think General Cao Zhen's opinion should be adopted."

All the generals present expressed their views one by one, and the majority of them agreed with General Cao Hong's views, and it seemed that most of them supported the concentration of troops to take the first hill first, and Xiahou Yuan was also very happy to see this, because he also thought so, and thought that only in this way could he finally win this decisive battle.

"This hill, the west, south, and north are relatively flat land, and our army is very advantageous, so we can send soldiers to attack the Shu army from these three sides at the same time, thinking that the five thousand Shu army cannot have enough strength to defend these three sides at the same time. It's just that these three sides are not very open, and if there are too many people, they will not be able to exert themselves, which may have a certain impact on our army's attack, but I believe that our army's numerical superiority can completely make up for this.

General Zhangjaw, I will appoint you as the vanguard, lead 15,000 soldiers, and launch an attack on the Shu army on the mountain on the same day, and we must take it. ”

******

Two hours later, with the order of General Zhang Jaw, the Wei army under the mountain began to attack the mountain where Zhang Ren was located. Due to the relatively flat terrain, Zhang Jaw also transferred some cavalry, and with the help of the cavalry, Zhang Jaw became more confident.

"Report, General Qiyu, the Wei army has now arrived at the foot of the mountain, and there are a large number of enemy troops on the north, west, and south sides, it is estimated that there are about 5,000 people, and there are quite a few cavalry." The scouts sent by Zhang Ren spread the news of the Wei army quickly.

"It's time to do a big job." After listening to the scout's words, Zhang Ren said excitedly.

The three generals Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, and Deng Xian walked out of the military tent, and at this time, the 5,000 soldiers guarding the hill all stood in a large open space in the barracks. Five thousand soldiers, almost all of them are infantry, there are very few cavalry, one is because Hanzhong, Yizhou and other places are mostly mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry, but because these two places can not produce good horses, so there are very few cavalry in the Shu army. However, this also has an advantage, that is, in the mountain battle, the Shu army can give full play to its own advantages, which is related to the training of the infantry itself, and also has a relationship with the fact that many of the Shu army are now locals.

"Soldiers, the lord has entrusted us with the responsibility of guarding this mountain, which is a trust in us, an appreciation for us, and an encouragement to us. I know that many of you are soldiers who surrendered from Liu Zhang, and you have suffered some discrimination from time to time during this period of time, and you must have a lot of grievances in your hearts, and you really want to find an opportunity to vent these grievances, so I will tell you now, the opportunity has come.

How can we make those people stop discriminating against us, how can we make those people respect us, that is, we have to have the ability and ability, in short, we must be able to fight, so that those people can change their opinion of us.

Now that Cao's army is at the foot of the mountain, soldiers, pick up the spears, broadswords, bows and arrows in your hands, and follow me to kill the enemy at the bottom of the mountain! Kill! Kill! ”

After listening to Zhang Ren's words, the soldiers in the camp were all excited like wolves, looking up to the sky and howling.

"Kill, kill, kill."

Groups of soldiers walked out of the barracks and into pre-set defensive positions. Rows of profit and loss crossbows were also placed at the forefront of the army at this time. When Zhang Ren led the army to this peak, Liu Bei allocated 300 profit and loss crossbows to General Zhang Ren's team of soldiers at the suggestion of Shi Yuan, because Shi Yuan knew that the mountain guarded by General Zhang Ren would definitely experience a vicious battle and a big battle, and the profit and loss crossbow on this peak could give full play to its maximum value, which could kill and injure the enemy very well, and could also be conducive to General Zhang Ren's defense.

The profit and loss repeater brought by Liu Bei was better than that brought by Shi Yuan, and Mr. Kong Ming also took great pains to improve this profit and loss repeater during this period of time. The profit and loss repeater brought by Liu Bei not only reduced a lot in size and weight, a stronger young man can completely control a profit and loss repeater, but also increased in power and range, and the iron crossbow arrow shot within thirty steps can kill and injure the enemy.

At the front of the soldiers was a row of wooden fences with shields on them, which were good at blocking the enemy's bows and arrows, and not blocking the arrows fired by their own archers. There is enough gap between the shield and the shield for the P&L repeater to fire iron bolts.

"Child, do you have the amulet I asked you to bring?" At this time, a man in the prime of life with a spear in his hand and a bow and arrow at his waist said that this man was the same man who said when he was digging a trench that he wanted his children to go home after the battle.

"Dad, I brought it. But Dad, this talisman was begged for by my mother, and now you gave it to me, what should you do? ”

"You kid, your father and I have been fighting for so many years, and now it's okay without this talisman, you kid must protect himself well."

The young man reached out and touched the talisman hanging on his chest at this time, it was a little cool to the touch, but the young man's heart was warm.

"The enemy is on the offensive." The young man looked ahead, then whispered.
