Chapter 469: Falling Short
Cao Cao and Guo Jia are not ordinary people, under the careful arrangement of the two of them, although Hua Fei has been familiar with them for a long time, he has not been able to find a flaw after all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Hua Fei still gave a loud order, and Bao Chu and Hu Che'er's army were divided into two columns, and each erected a strong shield and carried a cloud ladder, and he attacked Donghangu Pass from the left and right.
Hua Fei thought very clearly, practice is the only way to test the truth, whether Cao Cao is playing tricks or not, the last actual battle with him will be clear and clear.
Guo Jia, who was standing on a high place, stared at Guanxia, and Hua Fei's gaze was firmly locked on Guanxia, until the army led by Hu Che'er approached Xiongguan for 200 steps.
"Two hundred paces in front of the left, the archers are ready to go!"
Xia Houyuan's roar, the left side of Xiongguan "Bang Bang Bang" sounded sharply, and the arrows were in the air.
"Arrow attack - defense!"
Hu Che'er saw the dense rain of arrows, and hurriedly roared in the continuous sound of "Xiuxiuxiu", and suddenly the shields raised "jingling" in a hurry.
Bao Chu saw the dense arrows on the left, and took the opportunity to wave his knife and roar: "Rush!" ”
"The enemy attack on the right front, the archer aims at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, ready to throw - put!"
Lu Bu painted the halberd high, and then pressed forward to give an order, and in an instant, in the west of Xiongguan, the rain of arrows was so dense that it blocked the rising sun in the east.
"Dingding......
The crisp and rapid sound was urgent, and Hu Che'er led the army to withdraw from the enemy's range when he heard the order, but Bao Chu was about 200 paces away, and only after suffering a rain of arrows did he successfully evacuate the battlefield.
Hua Fei saw very clearly that the two armies were attacked by a dense rain of arrows almost at the same time, while the soldiers on the edge of the enemy's battlements did not move.
And he remembered very clearly that if Cao Cao hadn't cheated, then he would only have five hundred guards, and there would be absolutely no way to shoot so many arrows from the left and right.
It turned out that Cao Cao's reinforcements had finally come, and Hua Fei knew the adverse consequences of the attack, so he could only give the order to collect the troops in a foolish manner.
"Pass my general order, order Zhang Ren to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to be responsible for the break in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, and order Jiang Jiong to lead the headquarters as the vanguard army, and the whole army will withdraw to Xin'an County, preparing to collect troops and return to Chang'an."
The guards shouted "Whoa!" Then, the order was handed down with a loud shout, and the officers at all levels of the Hua Fei Army also immediately shouted and ordered the troops to act.
This made the worried captives breathe a sigh of relief, and the guards who were about to collapse were even more celebrated.
"Oh, that's great! The enemy has finally ordered a retreat, and our danger has finally been lifted......"
"Mother! The enemy is about to withdraw, but my son's life has finally been saved, and my son can be filial to your old man......"
"Holy God! If you don't leave early, you have to procrastinate until now, and the old man is almost wet with his pants......"
When the enemy retreated, the troops cheered and celebrated the victory, which was an extremely normal thing, but with this call, Hua Fei immediately restrained the war horse that was turning around, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia were even more disdainful!
"The whole army stopped, resumed the siege position, Gan Ning, Hu Che'er, Bao Chu, and each led the army to immediately capture the city for me, and Pang De, Zhang Ren, Xu Chu and Jiang Jiong then led the army to respond!"
The cries of 400 people and the cries of more than 10,000 people, the difference is not different from that of elephants and chickens, Hua Fei instantly reacted and gave an order.
Cao Cao was so angry that he drew his sword and yelled at the four hundred guards: "Bastard! I'm going to slaughter you screaming beasts today! ”
In the shouting, he rushed towards the soldiers in a daze, and Dian Wei next to him shouted: "Lord, go quickly, the enemy army has already attacked, and you can't leave if it's too late!" ”
In the shout, he hugged Cao Cao, who was so angry that he lost his mind, and quickly went to the pass, and the west of Donghan Valley roared, Gan Ning, Hu Che'er and Bao Chu had already led their armies according to the order, and they hurried towards Xiongguan with all the city ladders.
Poor Cao Cao's 100,000 army was defeated, and only 400 soldiers were left to guard the west gate of Luoyang with trepidation.
But he was suddenly lost in the cheers of his own soldiers, and it was really fate, and he couldn't do it!
On that day, Cao Cao, under the escort of Dian Wei, hurriedly closed the horse and fled eastward, Gan Ning and other generals led the army to erect a ladder to the pass, and the four hundred guards who were abandoned immediately surrendered without a fight.
Gan Ning was waiting to lead the people to quickly open the gate, when he suddenly saw the smoke rising and the flames were rising, and hurriedly ordered Hu Che'er to quickly switch and lead the army into the city, while leading the army with Bao Chu to extinguish the fire to protect Xiongguan.
Zhang Ren, Jiang Jiong, Pang De and others saw that the door was closed, and then led the army into the horse, and was about to wave the army to quickly go east to pursue Cao Cao, but they saw that the flames of the east gate were so strong that the horse did not dare to enter, so they had no choice but to dismount first to extinguish the fire.
When the fire was extinguished, Hua Fei had already ordered someone to send an order, ordering the generals to collect their troops and not to pursue.
This made the hearts of all the generals puzzled, at this time, because Hua Fei spied through the enemy's treacherous schemes, so he went down to Xiongguan with a drum is the time when morale is like a rainbow, what is the reason for not taking the opportunity to pursue but ordering the troops to be collected?
Hu Che'er's footsteps were very fast, and the first generals came to ask Hua Fei about this, and Hua Fei was asking why Donghan's pawns were on fire on all sides and how Cao Cao could launch a dense rain of arrows with four hundred pawns.
After Hu Che'er listened to it, he realized that Guo Jia was thoughtful, and he was worried that the straw man's plan to deploy defense might not be able to hide from Hua Fei, so he thought hard for a long time, and finally with the help of Lu Bu and Xia Houyuan,
I came up with the idea of adjusting the range of the bow and arrows, and arranged the straw men separately, setting them at 200 steps, 150 steps, and 100 steps...... and first pull the arrow, fix the arrow, and then tighten the bowstring with a rope to fix it.
Then a special person with a sharp blade in his hand waited by the side, and once the two generals gave the order, they cut the rope and sent out the bow and arrow, so that only 400 people could create a situation where the arrows rained down, and deceived Hua Fei, who had always been shrewd.
Later, Guo Jia did not seek victory but first sought defeat, and made a large number of dry firewood and torches accumulate in key places such as the granary, arsenal and east gate of Donghan.
He also ordered the generals under Cao Cao's command to immediately set fire to the pass once their reinforcements did not arrive and Hua Fei launched a move to seize the pass, so as to spare no weight to help the enemy army, and secondly, to buy time for the escape of his own army.
After hearing this, Hua Fei sighed: "Guo Fengxiao is really clever!" ”
At this time, all the generals arrived, and Hua Fei explained to the generals why he didn't take the opportunity to pursue Cao Cao.
It was because he had just pacified Xiliang, and Xiliang was a bitter cold border area where Qiang and Han people lived together, and after the melee between Dong Zhuo and Han Sui, Ma Teng and other warlords, it was already a vast land and sparsely populated, and now it was time to vigorously govern it.
And his own rear Guanzhong, because of Cao Cao's attack and delayed the farming, if you don't rush to plough immediately, I'm afraid that everyone will be hungry.
In addition, in the battle between Xiliang and Guanzhong, there were many prisoners as the victorious side, and if they were not rectified immediately, they were afraid that there would be unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, although Cao Cao defeated 100,000 troops, he still has strong strength, and there are many people under his command who can fight well, so there will inevitably be a large army to respond.
Moreover, Guo Jia is resourceful, Cao Cao is decisive, the reason why they will be defeated so far is because they used the opportunity to break Cheng Yu to set one trap after another, which led to their unknowing, and they were unable to hold their positions after defeat.
If the enemy's reinforcements arrive, Cao Cao has elite soldiers and strong generals in his hands, then with Guo Jia's strategy, if he sends troops to pursue, he is afraid that he will suffer from it before he gets the benefits.
After explaining these reasons, Hua Fei immediately ordered Zhang Ren to be the main general, Hu Che'er to be the deputy general and 10,000 elite soldiers to be responsible for guarding Donghan Valley Pass, and then ordered Jiang Jiong to lead 10,000 troops to be stationed in Xin'an County to support Zhang Ren to resist Cao's army at any time.
Then he ordered Hongnong to keep Geng Ji too much, and to transport the connecting channel between the Yellow River and the Jianshui, so that Gan Ning led the naval brothers to be stationed at the Fengling Ferry, and once the Donghan changed, he immediately led the naval army to follow the Yellow River into the stream to support Donghan.
There are a total of 30,000 elite soldiers on the three routes, so it is not necessary to ensure that this important Xiongguan that can protect the pass in the west and force Luoyang in the east is foolproof before the change in the east and the reinforcements of their own troops fail to arrive in time.
After the generals sucked, Hua Fei ordered the whole army to move back to Chang'an, at this time Guanzhong was in the midst of the whole army rushing to cultivate soybeans, not to mention that the law was urgent.
In later generations, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, the five tiger generals of Shu Han, and his cousin Ma Dai have arrived in Chang'an City, and they are now waiting for their own reception, how can they have the leisure to follow the sect and Cao Cao to grind mushrooms? (To be continued.) )
