Chapter 734: Cao's Army Stubbornly Resists

Millions of heroes set the Central Plains!

Liu Yi was heroic in his heart, although he was not so complacent, but he was also a little proud.

Now everything is created by one-handedness. From scratch to the current prosperity and strength, all of this makes Liu Yi feel a sense of achievement.

Liu Yi exited the Tiger Pass and led the army along the route along the Yellow River opened by the military horses led by Yan Liang to Chenliu.

Looking at the flooding Yellow River from afar, the waves hit 3,000, and my heart was full of pride.

The army carried heavy baggage, and the movement was relatively not too fast, Liu Yi and the ministers, surrounded by the first army and the women's army, accelerated the speed of the march, and in two days, they had already caught up with the military horses of Yan Liang's department.

From Hugao Pass along the Yellow River to Chenliu, a section of the riverbank was a dangerous mountain range, but after about half of the journey, you can leave the mountainous area on the bank of the Yellow River and enter a plain area.

In fact, it is the Pishan Mountain of later generations, after passing the Pishan Mountain, along the bank of the Yellow River to the south, it is basically a flat river.

It is precisely because of such a terrain that Cao's army has accumulated a large army in the northwest direction of Bishan Mountain, and sent countless generals to build countless passes in the northwest direction of Bishan Mountain to block the advance of the New Han army step by step.

From Hugao Pass to Bishan, on the bank of the Yellow River dozens of miles long, the New Han Army and the Cao Army fought with each other, and the entanglement was quite fierce.

According to the spies' report, Xiahoudun, who had been patrolling the defense line on the western front, had also returned to the Bishan area and personally led the army to engage the New Han army under Yan Liang.

When Liu Yi caught up with the military horses of Yan Liang's department, the military horses of his department were stationed between a mountain range. And ahead, the battle is raging.

Naturally, this place has not yet reached the real Bishan area, but a valley road in the middle of the mountains.

Cao Jun's military horses desperately guarded the valley road, not giving an inch. It has been a few days of fighting, and Yan Liang has not been able to break through the pass blocking the road ahead for the time being.

In addition, because of the limitation of the natural terrain, although Yan Liang had about 20,000 or 20,000 military horses, he was unable to launch a formation and attacked every time. They can only dispatch a few thousand men. In this way, the Cao army held the pass in front of it, so that the New Han army could not kill it for a while.

After Liu Yi understood the situation a little, he first asked the military horses who came with him to camp temporarily, and then went to the front to watch the battle with Dian Wei and other generals and ministers who accompanied him.

Ahead, there is a rolling mountain range, with the rolling Yellow River on the left hand side and the right hand side. On the side is a taller mountain, like a fierce tiger lying down, becoming a natural barrier, making it difficult for the men and horses of the New Han Army to bypass.

Cao Jun's pass was cleverly repaired, just clamping at the intersection, between the two mountains.

The New Han army wanted to attack its pass directly. That is unlikely, because protruding from the mountains on the left and right sides. With Cao Jun guarding, they can be condescending and form a situation of control over the entire pass.

Therefore, now Yan Liang is leading thousands of men and horses from this side of the Yellow River. The intention is to directly attack the upper mountain and seize this mountain range. As long as this mountain range is captured, then it is equivalent to breaking through this pass, and Cao's army can only abandon the pass and flee.

Unfortunately, the mountain seems to be too steep. From a distance, you can see that the soldiers of the New Han Army are struggling to climb up the mountain, but the Cao army has also built a wall on the mountain, and those Cao troops keep pushing down the rolling stones and trees on it, and the New Han army attacking the mountain will be killed by the heavy objects rolling down the mountain if they are not careful.

Probably because the mountain was too steep and the soil quality of the ridge, the New Han army did not lay wooden stakes at the foot of the mountain to block the heavy objects rolling down the mountain. Most of the soldiers of the New Han Army, when they saw that there were rolling stones and trees rolling down from them, hid on the side of some vertical rocks or stone cliffs on the mountain, and their bodies were close to the cliff wall to avoid the heavy smashing of the rolling stones and trees.

Along the way up the mountain, there are also a lot of cliffs that can avoid the rolling stones rolling down the mountain, but there is always a section of the mountain, which has obviously been dealt with by the Cao army, as soon as the new Han army arrives at that section of the hillside, the rolling stones and trees on it will rumble down, making that section of the hillside become the coverage of the indiscriminate attack of the Cao army's rolling stones and trees.

In addition, during Liu Yizheng's observation of the battle, he was surprised to see that the Cao army on the top of the mountain was not a passive defense, after they pushed down a burst of rolling stones and trees, they actually dared to take the initiative to attack, they rushed out of the wall on the top of the mountain, and then condescendingly released arrows to the New Han Army at the foot of the mountain, and even dared to rush down to meet the New Han Army in close combat.

This attack of the Xinhan army ended in failure, and the sergeant withdrew a little embarrassed.

At this time, Yan Liang was in front, looking at the retreating soldiers, his hands clenched into fists, and he trembled a little angrily.

It was the mountain pass in front of it that attacked for several days and lost thousands of soldiers of the New Han Army, and this attack left the corpses of hundreds of soldiers on that mountain ridge.

Yan has used all the methods that the New Han Army can use, and this time, it is actually difficult to break through this level.

"General Yan, his subordinates are incompetent, and this attack has failed again." The battalion generals who were responsible for leading the army to attack returned to Yan Liang a little annoyed and a little ashamed, bowing their heads and pleading guilty.

"It's none of your business, but the Cao army is too hateful, relying on the favorable terrain to defend it, and they don't dare to go out of the customs to fight with us." Yan Liang comforted the defeated generals, picked up his sword and got on his horse, and said: "If you lose, you can't lose the battle, wait for the general to go forward and call for battle, and see if Xiahoudun dares to come out to fight." If this continues, I am afraid that the morale of our army will be slowly eroded. ”

The fight has been depressed in the past few days, and Yan Liang really has no choice. However, now that the war has reached this point, military horses from all walks of life have already attacked the city and plundered the land, and have made great achievements. And since he sent out his troops, he has been maneuvering with Cao's army in the mountains in this area, fighting each other back and forth in order to compete for a mountain, and Yan Liang feels a little tired of fighting such a battle. Now, as long as the Cao army in Bishan is defeated, then his military horses can be killed in Pingchuan and go straight to Chen Liucheng.

But it was just a stone's throw away, and the scouts behind him had already come to report and tell him that Liu Yiqin had led the army along the route he was attacking, and he would be here soon. If he came, but his military horse was blocked by Cao's army and could not advance here, it would be too embarrassing.

Yan Liang didn't wait for the generals below to react, so he slapped his horse out.

The mountain road is so narrow that you can only ride two or three horses at most, and there are mountains on either side.

saw Yan Liang kill out. His own soldiers and generals hurried to follow.

When he went to the front, he restrained his war horse from the place where he could be attacked by Cao Jun on the mountain, Yan Liang pointed at the wall that fell into the mountain nest and shouted: "Xiahoudun! This general Yan Liang is here, dare to come out to fight? ”

Yan Liang's shouts echoed in the mountains, and spread far away to Cao Jun's wall.

"Who is Yan Liang? Where do you get the buns? Dare to call our General Xiahou for battle? Haha, if you have the ability, you can kill it, otherwise, don't make noise there! ”

Cao Bing on the wall. During this period of time, they did take advantage of the confrontation with the New Han Army, and the New Han Army couldn't even get close to them, and it was all up to them. The New Han Army had already lost a lot of troops, so they didn't think about confronting the New Han Army head-on.

Whether it was a fighting general or a battle between the two armies, the Cao army was not confident that it would be able to defeat the New Han army. So. It is rare that now, they can easily repel the attack of the New Han army. Who will go out of the customs again to engage the New Han army?

For Cao Jun, this gives them a wonderful feeling of feng shui taking turns. Aren't your New Han Army fierce? Aren't your New Han Army's weapons very sophisticated? The trebuchet is very powerful, and can throw stone projectiles farther than our trebuchet, so that our trebuchet is all an ornament, and you can hold it down and bombard. Why don't you move here now? No matter how powerful your trebuchet is, can you still hit the stone projectiles up to the top of our mountain? And also. Isn't the bed crossbow of your New Han Army very powerful? Take it out and shoot me?

Aren't your sergeants tough? Come on? Come and kill me? We're waiting for you right here......

Anyway, Cao Jun at this moment is indeed really not too happy. It's all about the topography of this area, and it's all about the fact that they've built a checkpoint here early. I have been waiting for the New Han Army here for a long time.

So, at this time, still go out to fight with the New Han Army? Only a fool would do that.

Yan Liang's call for battle, not only did he not call Xiahoudun to come out to fight, but even Xiahoudun did not show up at all, but he was mocked by Cao Bing who was locked on the wall.

However, Yan Liang's personal soldiers and generals naturally couldn't tolerate Cao Bing laughing at his main general, and they all spoke and scolded.

For a time, what was originally a war developed into a war between the two sides of the sergeants scolding the war, and the whole mountain was full of ugly foul language.

The number of women who followed Liu Yi's side, as well as some female soldiers, were all a little red-faced at this time.

The two armies scolded each other, and scolded each other as much as they wanted, as if they were going to directly scold each other until they vomited blood and died. Indeed, the words they cursed were not for those women to hear.

Liu Yi observed the situation on both sides, and also carefully watched the terrain of the battlefield, and he already knew the situation that Yan Liang was facing.

To be honest, according to the normal attack method, I am afraid that I have really fallen into a very difficult situation here. Because, it seems that this is a barrier that cannot be broken at all. All the attack methods of the New Han Army were restrained by the Cao Army here, and it was difficult to advance at all.

However, the attack methods of the New Han Army are not limited to this. In the case that normal and conventional methods of tackling key problems do not work, then we have to find a way to adopt some unconventional attack methods.

In Liu Yi's heart, he already had a plan.

Seeing that the soldiers of the two armies in front of the gate in front of him were scolding more and more outrageous, it was simply unbearable, so Liu Yi sent someone to the front and summoned Yan Liang back.

In this area, there are mountains one mountain after another, and there are very few flat places. Yan Liang's big tent of the Chinese army can only be set on the head of a mountain range.

"Lord, my subordinates have disappointed you, it's been so long, our army has only advanced into these dozens of miles after coming out of the Tiger Prison, and we haven't been able to kill beyond the mountains in this area." Yan Liang hung his head in front of Liu Yi, looking a little embarrassed.

"General Yan Liang, there is no need to do this, we have all seen that some difficulties do exist objectively. This area is full of mountains, and it is already restricted, and there is not much room for you to maneuver. What's more, how many years has Cao Jun been deployed in this mountainous area? This mountainous area has already been repaired like an iron wall, step by step, and every time our army takes a step forward, it has to pay blood before it can be collected. Liu Yi waved his hand disapprovingly, and asked Yan Shi to sit down and speak.

After Yan Liang sat down, he said: "My lord, the last general is a little worried now, if our army and the military horses led by the lord are blocked here, and the other military horses such as Zilong, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong, and Xu Rong advance and kill out, then wouldn't they be equivalent to a lone army going deeper?" ”

Yan Liang really has to think about the overall situation.

Although the New Han Army set out from Hugao Pass, Bishui Pass, and Xingyang Pass was divided into two or three routes, the military horses of each road were not too far apart from each other, and if it were not separated by some mountains, it would only take an hour between the two armies. Maybe we can meet together. Advancing hand in hand with each other and echoing each other from afar, they can not only oppressively attack Cao's army, but also ensure that their own New Han army cannot afford to lose.

The Cao army had hundreds of thousands of military horses in this area, and if a certain route army of the New Han Army broke out alone, it was very likely to be attacked by the Cao army.

However, Liu Yi is already confident.

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I already have a way to break through it, it may be too late today, ...... tomorrow Well, tomorrow at noon, I will definitely be able to break the level in front of me in one fell swoop. Liu Yi said to Yan Liang, signaling that Yan Liang did not need to worry.

"Oh? Will you be able to break it tomorrow at noon? Then, how should the lord prepare to attack? How do you need to cooperate? Yan Liang didn't doubt what Liu Yi said, nor did he ask Liu Yi how to fight, anyway, Liu Yi said that it could be broken at noon tomorrow, and it could be broken at noon tomorrow, Yan Liang had great confidence in Liu Yi.

"Cooperation, naturally, you will assemble the military horses at noon tomorrow, and when you see the Cao army in the pass ahead, when there are some big movements, you can launch an attack, and at that time, it is estimated that the Cao army in the pass will definitely not take care of you, and even, they will escape by themselves."

"Oh? Cao Jun chaos? What's going on? Lord, could it be that you have already installed our people from the New Han Dynasty in the Cao army opposite? Yan Liang asked a little pretentiously.

"Hehe, what do you want?" Liu Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "We are attacking, but the arrangement of the Cao army makes it difficult for us to attack from the ground, so I plan that we will attack the Cao army from the sky." (To be continued.) )
