Late at night, the thick night shrouded the cool land of the west, above the starry sky, the stars and the moon were dull, and it was gloomy.

Jicheng.

In the headquarters of the Third Military Region, the back and forth figures made the atmosphere here depressing, the pace was hurried, and the staff adjutant was constantly deducing the combat sand table, and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others were also sleepless all night.

The news of the street pavilion has not come for a long time, and Chen, who was trapped in Baitou Mountain, is now in danger, but they still can't move.

"Commander Zhuge , we can't wait any longer!"

Fa Zheng really couldn't sit still, he sat in Jicheng for a long time, fidgeting, he knew that he should have personally followed Chen Zhi to go deep into the army, even if he died in battle at the same time, he didn't have to be so nervous.

"Wait!"

Zhuge Liang sat at the top of the conference table, sipping strong tea, holding a book in his hand, his face was expressionless, reading the book carefully, in the face of Fazheng's request, he went back and forth with one word, wait!

"Commander Zhuge , if we wait any longer, in two days at most, we will collect Uncle Chen's body!" Fa Zheng stood up and shouted.

"Wait!"

"Commander Zhuge ......"

Fa Zheng's pupils were swirling with blood, looking at Zhuge Liang's figure as steady as Mount Tai and never moving, a wave of anger was burning all over his body.

"Wait!"

Zhuge Liang's voice was not very loud, but it was very firm.

Fa Zheng had no choice but to sit down and continue to wait.

"Lu Xun, let me ask you, can the main force of the Central Army rush to the street pavilion in time?" Zhuge Liang suddenly turned his head, looked at the young staff adjutant sitting next to him, and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Xun, the vanguard of the Central Army, came to discuss the military situation.

"Commander Zhuge , at noon today, Commander Ju Yi has already sent news that their main force has passed the official road of Qishan yesterday, and the vanguard cavalry has begun to gradually approach Longxian!"

Lu Xun hurriedly stood up: "As long as the street pavilion battle starts, there will definitely be no delay!" ”

The reason why they have such a fast marching speed is thanks to the Qishan official road built by the Bashu Governor's Mansion, which connects Wudu and Liangzhou at once, without the slightest obstacle, and the speed is at least tripled.

"That's good!"

After Zhuge Liang was affirmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Now everything is in place, I will open the door and wait for them to come in, Ma Chao, you must not let me down!" ”

After a sleepless night, the entire military district headquarters was still full of people.

The light of dawn appeared, and began to gradually dispel the dark sky and illuminate the earth, Zhuge Liang walked out of the hall, rubbed his temples, looked at the thick fog in the early morning, and couldn't help muttering: "It's another day, and if it goes on like this, I'm almost out of breath!" ”

It is impossible for him to watch Chen Zhi being besieged and killed, but he is more calm than Fazheng, he is very calculating, if he comes over today, there is no news back, he can only send troops to relieve the siege of Chen Zhi first.

"Report!"

At this time, under the light of the morning light, a fast horse galloped in from the northeast, and the person who came panted, turned over and dismounted, and rushed straight in: "The last general is the commander of the scout battalion of the Ninth Army of the Bashu Army, Fang Wei, there is an urgent military situation to report to Commander Zhuge ; ”

"Biography!"

Zhuge Liang stood up suddenly, his eyes were like rainbows, and he was angry and shouted loudly outside the camp.

"Yes!"

A few soldiers invited the scout, who looked tired, his eyes were blood-red, and his eyes were black.

"Tell me, what's going on in the street pavilion?" Fa Zheng couldn't wait to look at the scout and asked.

"Report to Commander Zhuge and report to the Chief of Staff of the Law, the street pavilion is surrounded!" The scout knelt down and gave his hand in return.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Wei army?"

"We found that at the beginning, the left and right flanks were estimated to have a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei army, and the current banner is unknown, and the main force is unknown!"

"Where did it come from?"

"North of the Street Pavilion!"

"Northern Wolf Guard!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his eyes crossed a glint of essence.

After this scout reported all the situation, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the galloping of a day and a night made him tired, even the horses were also exhausted to death, and after reporting the military situation, the whole person lacked support and fainted directly.

"Take him down and let the military doctor recuperate!" Zhuge Liang said.

"No!"

Several guards immediately took the scout down.

"The banner of the Wei army is unknown, the main force is unknown, is it the Northern Wolf Guard?" Fa Zheng squinted his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Absolutely, yes!"

Zhuge Liang sneered: "All the soldiers and horses of the Wei army are now under our noses, where can 30,000 elites pop up, at this time they can still be cautious, and they don't even dare to play the banner, which can only show that Ma Chao is cautious enough!" ”

"Commander, I propose to send troops immediately!" Fa Zheng surrendered his hand to the battle.

"It's time to send troops!"

Zhuge Liang finally clicked at this time, his eyes swept over, and he shouted: "Someone!" ”

"In!" The congregation will be on standby.

"Immediately send someone to spread the word to Xu Sheng, and ask him to send troops to Baitou Mountain immediately!" Zhuge Liang looked at the terrain of Baitou Mountain, and when he looked up at Fa Zheng, he said directly: "And Fa Zheng, you personally lead the Twelfth Army, immediately rush to the past, join forces with Chen to Xu Sheng, and surround Sima Yi from inside and out, on three sides, I want to besiege and kill Ma Chao, even if I can't destroy him, I must make him unable to move, and he is not allowed to go north for reinforcements!" ”

"Yes!"

Fa Zheng looked shocked and took the order to leave.

"Lu Xun!"

"In!"

"You return to the Central Army now, and let Commander Ju Yi and Chief of Staff Xu Shu be sure to lead the main force to Jieting as quickly as possible, and the Ninth Army of my Bashu Army will not be able to support it for long!" Zhuge Liang said: "The faster the speed of the Central Army, the smaller our casualties!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Lu Xun nodded.

"Where are Pound's soldiers?" Zhuge Liang looked at the last Wei army soldiers and horses on the combat sand table, and asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the commander, the day before yesterday, there was news from the Jinyi Guard, the soldiers and horses led by Pang De have already entered the Dasan Pass, and they are about to leave the Sanguan Pass, to the east or west, and enter Wudu or Hanzhong!" A staff adjutant stepped forward to answer.

"Although it is very likely that he will enter Wudu, we can't send him into Hanzhong, we can't let him enter Hanzhong!"

Zhuge Liang squinted slightly: "Hanzhong Taishou Xuezhou was a naval warrior before, at this time he can give us a lot of help, give me eight hundred miles to send him a secret letter, let him recruit young and strong, set up a suspicious formation before Yangping Pass, and must force Pang De to enter Wudu!" ”

He laid a net in Wudu, if Pang De was allowed to enter Hanzhong, it would be a bamboo basket for nothing, which would likely affect the future of the battle.

"Yes!"

A staff adjutant general ordered to hurry away.

"Where is Jiang Qin?"

There were two armies in Jicheng, the Twelfth Army and the Eleventh Army, and the Twelfth Army let Fa Zheng lead the attack, and now there is only the Eleventh Army left, the Eleventh Army is a mixed army of sea and land, and the army commander Jiang Qin.

"The last general!"

Jiang Qin immediately stood up and gave up his hands.

"You lead the Eleventh Army and follow me north!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were cold: "I want to personally besiege and kill Ma Chao, compared to Sima Yi, I care more about Ma Chao, brocade news, Ma Chao has a frustration around him, and their troops are not weak, if they break out of the encirclement, this battle will be in vain!" ”

"No!" Jiang Qin nodded in agreement.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The battle of the street pavilion broke out suddenly.

Under the bloody battle for two whole days, the blood flowed like a river and the corpses were piled up like a mountain in the city.

After Ma Chao's main force invested in the strong attack on Jieting, the Wei army was like a rainbow, step by step, constantly oppressing the living space of the Wu army.

Their tens of thousands of elites are like a heavy overlapping wave covering them, and the Wu army in the street pavilion is like a boat above the waves, crumbling.

"Block, block me!"

Deng Zhi had already come to the head of the northern city in person, and his eyes looked at the Wei army under the city, which was dense and there was no end in sight, and he even shouted hoarsely.

"Chief of Staff, a gap has been forcibly blasted out of the east, and now the Wei army is going to enter the city!"

"Order the 29th Division, abandon the southern city, gather the northern city, and press the military headquarters guard battalion to me, even if it is to block it with flesh and blood, it will also block the footsteps of the Wei army entering the city, and it can block an hour, it is an hour!" Deng Zhi still calmed down and said in a cold voice

"Yes!"

Several staff officers hurriedly went to give orders.

Under the city.

Ma Chao's burly and sturdy body stood in the middle of the Chinese army, his tiger eyes were awe-inspiring, looking at the small adobe town in front of him, and there was a haze in his expression: "It's so difficult and hateful!" ”

"General, in one more day at most, we will be able to capture the Street Pavilion!" He said in a deep voice.

"It's not that easy!"

Ma Chao shook his head: "This battle has been fought for two days, and the casualties of my Northern Wolf Guard have increased by three thousand, if it goes on like this, take here, we will at least have more than 10,000 casualties, how about the big battle in the future?" ”

"General, the situation is still good, we are now dividing and besieging the Wu army, Sima Yi has already dispersed their forces, and as long as we concentrate the main force, it is enough to encircle and kill them one by one!" Fu Zhu said: "As long as we can successfully take the street pavilion, it will be much easier in the back, we can take it step by step and surround them to death in Liangzhou!" ”

"Hopefully!"

Ma Chao shouted: "Horse play!" ”

"In!"

"You immediately lead the soldiers and horses under your command and press me up!" Ma Chao pointed to the street pavilion town in front of him and said, "Before sunset tomorrow, I must go into the city!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Play immediately received the order and threw his troops and horses to attack the city.

The Wei army increased its troops, and the Wu army in the city was under more pressure, but now they could only grit their teeth, barely resist, and delay time.

However......

At this time, behind the Wei army, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared silently.

"Chief of Staff Pang Tong, it seems that the Wei army is very confident, they actually have no defense behind their backs!" Kebi was a little excited: "Charge now, you will be able to break his camp!" ”

"Great Khan, you think too simply!"

Pang Tong shook his head: "Ma Chao is still very cautious, you look at his deployment, although he is not lined up in the back, but the soldiers and horses in the battalion are not invested too much, at least 30,000 elites are left, which shows that he is still guarding against someone to raid him when he is attacking the city!" ”

"So how do we do it now?" The pupils of Kobineng constricted slightly.

"Wait until it's dark!"

Pang Tong raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills, when they are tired during the day, the defense will inevitably be the emptiest at night, and we will take them by surprise!" ”

"I listen to you!" Kobi nodded.

"Now there is still a period of time before dark, Ma Chao's scouts are not simple, we are only ten miles away from him now, it is easy to be discovered by their scouts, and then retreat five miles, wait until it gets dark, the cavalry charges, and the foot soldiers follow, be sure to break the Ma Chao camp in one fell swoop!"

"Good!"

Kobi was able to arrange for his soldiers to retreat immediately, and then rest on the spot, recuperate, and wait for the surprise attack at night. (To be continued.) )
