Chapter 779: The Battle for Merging States, Tian Feng's Vigilance!
At noon, the north and south streets of Jinyang City became a bloody battlefield.
"Sons, kill!"
"Kill it, rush!"
"Kill all these Liangguo pigs!"
The Wei army's attack was very fierce, and the generals were shouting and commanding their soldiers, constantly attacking the South Street like a gap.
The narrow terrain was conducive to the Liang army, which had few soldiers and horses, so although the Wei army was attacking fiercely, it was always difficult to advance an inch in the real morning battle.
At the entrance of Nancheng Street, a temporary command camp of the Wei army.
Cao Hong's eyes were staring at the fierce battle not far away, but his mind was no longer in this battle, and he shouted: "Xiahou Ling!" ”
"The last general!"
"All the cavalry scouts in the scout battalion, immediately go and investigate the forest slopes and valleys within a radius of twenty miles from Jinyang City to see if there are any ambushes!"
Although Tian Feng's suspicions were a little unbelievable, as the battle stalemate, he became more and more uneasy.
"General, do you doubt ......" Xiahou Ling was a little puzzled.
"Don't ask, go now!"
Cao Hong glared at him and shouted coldly.
"No!"
Xiahou Ling received the order and quickly led the cavalry scouts to investigate around Jinyang City.
"General, the scout battalion soldiers want to probe and have a result, there is no day, it is not enough, we can't wait!" Tian Feng said in a low voice.
Cao Hong's eyes were still looking at the fierce battle before the street entrance, his expression was cold, and he was still a little reluctant to believe it, "Mr. Yuan Hao, could it be that you are too worried?" ”
"General, I also thought that it was possible for me to worry too much!"
Tian Feng pointed to the battle ahead. His expression became solemn, and he said: "But look at the current battle situation, the obvious intention of the Liang army is to drag us down, which proves even more that something is worried!" ”
The Liang army was originally a tiger and wolf army, whether it was defensive or offensive. The tactics have always been violent, but in today's Liang Army, the tactics are not as violent as imagined, but have a tendency to delay.
This is even more proof that what he is worried about is not impossible.
Since Ma Play wanted to drag him down, he definitely didn't intend to drag him to death, because Ma Play didn't have this ability, so he could only say that he was waiting for the appearance of reinforcements.
"But General Ben couldn't figure it out. Where can he conjure up soldiers and horses? It's not that Cao Hong doesn't believe Tian Feng, it's just that he wants to break his brain, and he can't think of where he can conjure up troops with a horse.
If you want to swallow his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is not something that a small number of soldiers and horses can do.
"Come, the march map of Jinyang City and Taiyuan County!" Tian Feng himself couldn't figure it out, he groaned for a long time and shouted.
"In!"
Several guards around Cao Hong quickly spread out a few detailed marching maps in front of the two.
"Mr. Yuan Hao. Two days ago, our scouts detected it very clearly. Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin, are still in the confrontation between Yangqu and Wu Jun's Huang Zhong army! ”
Cao Hong said in a deep voice: "There is only one official road here, and our scouts guard this official road, if they go south, we can't know it!" ”
"General. Maybe we're missing something! When Tian Feng heard this, he had a flash of inspiration, looked at the lines on the map of Taiyuan, and said in a deep voice.
"What's the matter?"
When Cao Hong heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"Our scouts have been just staring at the official road. So I didn't find any signs of soldiers and horses going south, but here in Taiyuan County, there are too many twists and turns, and if the soldiers and horses in the north want to go south, there should be a lot of side roads and trails! ”
Tian Feng pointed to the map of Taiyuan County and said.
"What does Mr. mean that Cheng Yin and Cheng Yi on the north side of Taiyuan have already gone south?" When Cao Hong heard this, his complexion suddenly changed drastically, his blood flowed backwards, and he turned a little pale: "If they withdraw their troops, aren't they afraid that the Wu army will give them a blow from behind?" ”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they already have a tacit understanding!"
Tian Feng swallowed his saliva and said faintly: "Maybe the people Wu Jun wants to ally with are never us, but ...... Liang Jun! ”
"How so?" Cao Hong gasped: "You mean, from the end to the end, Wu Jun and Liang Jun are making a show, and they want to calculate, yes, we?" ”
"That's right, that's it!"
After figuring this out, Tian Feng's thoughts suddenly became clear, he spat out a mouthful of turbidity, gritted his teeth, and said: "Damn, what kind of war, the big battle in the north, I'm afraid it's a big drama to invite you into the urn, they just want to create an opportunity to lure us north!" ”
"Could it be that Mr. Yuan Hao is thinking too much?"
Cao Hong's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he muttered.
"I wish I had thought too much, but ...... General, do you dare to risk with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Tian Feng glanced at Cao Hong and asked in a low voice, "Is a Jinyang City worth such a risk for the general?" ”
"A certain family, don't dare! Jinyang, it's not worth it! ”
Cao Hong took a deep breath, after all, he was a battle-hardened general, and he quickly made a decision, he said in a low voice: "Although Jinyang City is good, it is not as important as a certain subordinate son, but now that we have entered the city, please ask Mr. for advice, how can we get out!" ”
"Retreat to Jinyang!"
Tian Feng thought for a while, and said decisively: "We must give up Jinyang immediately, wait and see, if there is no fraud, we will continue to wave our troops to Jinyang, it will be too late, if it is fraudulent, we need to break through Taiyuan!" ”
"Do you want to quit now?" Cao Hong raised his head and glanced at the battle in front of him with some unwillingness.
"Yes!"
Tian Feng nodded affirmatively and said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, if tens of thousands of sons and daughters under our command are blocked in Jinyang City, I'm afraid they will be shut down and beaten by dogs, and when the time comes, the whole army will be wiped out!" ”
When Cao Hong heard this, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't afford to gamble on the lives of tens of thousands of children, so he could only trust Tian Feng's decision, and asked, "Where to retreat?" ”
"Yangyi!"
Tian Feng pointed to the map of Taiyuan County and said: "From Yangyi, you can go directly south to Jingling, Jingling here, we have laid the first move, as long as we retreat here." Even if they have an ambush, they can't help our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! ”
Cao Hong groaned for a while, looking at the battle in the distance, the soldiers of the Wei army, spilling tears and blood. Want to conquer this city and retire? He was a little unwilling, but he had to do it.
Tian Feng has a saying, which is very good, he Cao Hong really can't afford to take this risk.
"Someone!"
"General!" Several heralds from the Chinese army quickly walked up.
"Order the soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks to immediately assemble their troops and make a truce, and then give up the attack on the Liang army within an hour. Go out of the city, gather in Wuyuepo outside the city, and prepare to go south to Yangyi! ”
He is also a decisive person, since he has withdrawn from the army, he needs speed.
"No!"
The herald quickly passed on the order.
"General, we can't let the horse play see through our intentions, before the left and right flanks are completely withdrawn from Jinyang, the main force will strengthen the attack. Regardless of casualties, stormed South Street. Disturb his mind! Tian Feng suggested.
"Good!"
Cao Hong nodded and said: "In this battle, a certain person personally went into battle and stormed the entrance of Nanjie, if he could break Nanjie, he would be able to smash the Shifu directly." Maybe even get it back! ”
――――――――――――――――――――――
Thorn Mansion
Ma Wan and a few generals studied the battle situation in the city today, the more fierce the Wei army's attack, the happier he was, looking at the Wei army on the sand table that had all entered the game, the corners of his mouth grinned. muttered to himself: "Cao Hong, in this battle, if you can't be left behind, what kind of face do you have to face the first king!" ”
"General, from dawn onwards, the Wei army's attacks have been much more ferocious, and our first line of defense may not be able to hold it!" A partial way.
"Then retreat to the second line of defense!"
Ma Yu said lightly: "We only need to hold on for an afternoon, it's okay, we have no choice, we can retreat to the defense line of the Assassin's Mansion, and we have only one purpose, to drag them down!" ”
"Report to the general, the left and right wings of the Wei army suddenly gave up the attack and retreated out of the city!"
At this time, a captain general with blood-stained armor walked in and reported the word.
"What?"
When Ma Yu heard this, his whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked at this captain with a somewhat hideous expression: "Retirement? Did they find something? ”
"General Mo doesn't know, but the Wei soldiers and horses on the left flank have all withdrawn, and our scouts are hanging behind them, and they have already left the city!"
The lieutenant reported: "The same is true of the Wei army on the right flank, which has already left the city!" ”
"Report to General Ma Wan, General Hong at the entrance of Nanjiekou asked for help, the Wei army increased its troops, and the South Street was broken by the Wei army for three consecutive streets, and it was already approaching the Nanjiekou Pass!"
Suddenly, a herald walked in and gave his hand to report.
"Storming South Street?"
When Ma Yu heard this, he suddenly became a little messy, and he had some doubts in his heart: What is Cao Hong playing? The left and right flanks retreated, and the middle increased troops to attack, what is the purpose of the so-called?
"General, could it be that they want to concentrate their forces?" A partial general said: "Attack us, you want to break the formation strongly!" ”
"No!"
Ma Yu shook his head and said: "In this city, the battlefield is already narrow, the streets are spacious, and there are houses to block it, so they can't use the extra troops to concentrate their forces?" They don't need to. ”
"Then what does Wei Jun mean by this?" Everyone in the lobby didn't quite understand.
"Regardless of their intentions!"
Ma Yu groaned for a while, he could be entrusted with the important task by Ma Chao, guarding and annexing the state, and he was not a leisurely and indecisive person, so he quickly made a decision, and said coldly: "Order, the whole army counterattacks, we must drag the main Wei army, and they must not let their main force of soldiers and horses leave Jinyang City!" ”
"No!"
A partial general was ordered to go out.
"Take my helmet and weapons, I want to meet this Cao Hong in person for a while!" The horse played coldly.
"Yes!"
The soldiers put their helmets on Ma Toy, brought up his weapon, and Ma Yu picked up the giant spear in the city with one hand and walked out of the lobby directly.
――――――――――――――
In the afternoon.
The battle at Nanjiekou is still fierce, and it is a stalemate, but the two sides between the attack and defense have been switched to one direction, the Liang army is the main attack, and the Wei army is the main defense.
The Wei army continued to withdraw, and the soldiers retreated from attacking to defending, fighting and retreating, and retreated in the direction of the south city gate.
"Have the rest of the soldiers and horses withdrawn from the city?"
Cao Hong rode on horseback, his eyes a little gloomy.
"General, the rest of the soldiers and horses have been withdrawn, and now only 10,000 of us soldiers and horses are still being dragged in the city!"
A lieutenant general beside him whispered: "The Liang army's attack on us suddenly became very fierce, once we turned around, we would expose our backs to the enemy, and we suffered heavy casualties, and we couldn't retreat at all!" ”
"General, the reaction of Ma Play now proves even more that he just wants to hold us back, and he can't wait!" Tian Feng's expression became solemn, and he said: "You fight and retreat, I will go out of the city to respond, concentrate my troops, and break through Jinyang!" ”
"Good!"
Cao Hong nodded, this battle is fought to this point, if he still doesn't believe in Tian Feng, he will be waiting for his own destruction, he handed Tian Feng the dark golden talisman, and said: "This is my talisman, as long as you hold this talisman, the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings will all be subject to your temperance!" ”
Tian Feng is a person from the Taiwei Mansion, unless he has a holy purpose, he only has the right to make suggestions, and he has no power to command the troops.
"General rest assured, even if the Wu army and the Liang army join forces, we will definitely be able to fight a bloody way!"
Tian Feng took the talisman, his expression was firm, and he said a word of assurance lightly, and then rode his horse and left Jinyang City.
――――――――――――――
On the outskirts of Jinyang City, on the west side, on a hillside of thirty miles, on the quiet hillside, soldiers and horses are like clouds, and the blood-colored wolf flags are quietly raised.
"How's it going in the city?" The main general, Huang Zhong, sat calmly in a temporary barracks built up, looked at the commander of the scout regiment of the Third Division of Youzhou, and asked.
"General, the Wei army has a group of soldiers and horses, and they suddenly went out of the city from the West City Gate!" The commander of the scout bowed his head with his troops and replied, "Heading south!" ”
"Out of town?" Huang Zhong frowned slightly: "Could it be that the plan has been revealed?" ”
The original plan was to encircle the city so that it would be easier to annihilate.
"It seems that Tian Feng is alert!"
Chen Gong said with a smile: "The former lieutenant of the Jin Kingdom, Tian Yuanhao, who single-handedly assisted Yuan Shao to defeat the Jin Kingdom, really can't be underestimated at all, we haven't sent troops yet, and we actually smell our southward movement from the clues!" ”
"Looks like plans are going to change!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Since they are prepared, this battle is a little difficult to fight!" ”
"It's hard to fight, it's hard to fight, is it difficult, is the general here for an outing?" Chen Gong said in a deep voice.
"Fight, of course you have to fight, give the order, let the Vermilion Bird Battalion and the Black Armor Spirit Cavalry attack first!" Huang Zhong's eyes showed murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Be sure to drag this force to General Ben, our main force will arrive soon, and if you go out of the city from the West City Gate, it must be their left flank soldiers and horses, and you can't let their left and right wings converge with the main force!" ”
"No!"
When a personal guard heard this, he took Huang Zhong's token and immediately went to deliver the military order.
"Thunder Bell!"
"The last general!"
"This battle is the battlefield of the Third Division!"
Huang Zhong said coldly: "This general wants to wash away the shame of the Youzhou army, and your Youzhou Third Division must also wash away the shame on your body, if the main force of the Wei army breaks away from Jinyang, it must only go south from Wu Yuepo to Yangyi, and Wu Yuepo will belong to you!" ”
The Wu army went south, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Wei army, and the whole army did not go south, only the second and third divisions, as well as the black armor elite cavalry and the Vermilion Bird battalion, adding up to nearly 25,000 soldiers and horses.
The Fourth and Ninth Divisions of Yanmen are in case of a sudden change in the Liang Army, after all, no one can guarantee when they will turn their faces when they will turn around in this matter of cooperation.
"The last general commands!"
The big man Lei Zhong's eyes flashed with a faint battle intent, and he bowed down to receive the order.
"At this time, Cheng Yi should also move!"
Huang Zhong sneered.
"He's on the east side, he should be more anxious than we are!"
Chen Gong said lightly: "After all, we and the Wei State are just enemies, and they have a deep enmity in the sea of blood!" (To be continued......)
