Chapter 330 Xuande Bu soldiers came to Chang'an, and Meng De retreated from Hanzhong

In the last book, it is said that Zhang Bao listened to the advice of Zhang Xiong and Zhang Hu, and attacked the city gate tower of Tongguan with rockets at night, attracting the pursuit of Cao Ren's subordinates.

Xiahou Yuan's third son, Xiahou, said that he offered a series of plans to Cao Renjin, and divided into three teams of soldiers and horses to kill the soldiers and horses who were carrying out rocket attacks.

Who knows, this battle is difficult for both sides to fight when they are prepared!

When it was dark, both sides gathered the remnants of their troops and retreated to their camps.

Cao Ren looked at the team of only five or six thousand people under the city, and the six people in front of the team were lying on the back of the war horse with crooked armor.

The only thing that was slightly better was the Xiahou who took the lead in the battle, and when he saw Cao Ren, he hurriedly straightened his waist, and immediately bowed and said, "Uncle, little nephew......"

"Don't say much! If you have nothing to do, you will be relieved! And when he had said that, he had the gates open and let them in.

Besides, Zhang Bao returned to the camp with the generals, and he had counted his soldiers, and he was dumbfounded!

This time, he invested almost all his troops, except for the five hundred soldiers under Zhang Hu, almost all of the fifteen thousand people were put into the battlefield!

This time, more than 7,000 people were killed!

Countless wounded!

He had never encountered it on a battlefield before!

It is clear that he has completely surrounded the enemy and completely occupied the most powerful situation, why would there be such a big loss?

He frowned, pondering for a long time!

Deng Zhi, a partial general on the side, stepped forward with his injured arm and persuaded: "General, don't blame yourself!" In last night's battle, our army suffered heavy losses, which were limited by time rather than manpower! ”

"Time limits?" Hearing this, Zhang Bao looked up at Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi said: "Although there was moonlight last night, I still couldn't see each other clearly in the night. If it weren't for the fact that most of our soldiers cooperated in small battle formations, I am afraid that the dead and wounded would be even greater! ”

"Yes! General, I really didn't expect that killing the enemy at night would cause such damage, and I asked the general to surrender! When Zhang Xiong heard this, he stepped forward to ask for guilt.

Zhang Hu was listed at the same time, and he was guilty of the crime.

Zhang Bao waved his hand and said, "What kind of crime are you waiting for?" It's all because the general didn't expect everything to be complete, so that our army was damaged like this! This matter has its own responsibility, don't say much! You wait to go down and settle the soldiers immediately, and take precautions! Presumably, in half a day, Uncle Huang's army will arrive here! ”

"No!" Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong, Gao Huan, Deng Zhi and others left in response.

Ma Liang on the side saw that Zhang Bao could have such a mind, and secretly admired in his heart: I really didn't expect it! Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide actually have a son, and this son's future achievements may catch up with his father, or even worse!

"Sir, what should I do with the night fight in the future?" Zhang Bao asked Ma Liang for advice.

Ma Liang also sighed, shook his head and said, "Yes! How do you fight at night to ensure that the soldiers don't kill each other? Perhaps the military advisor will be able to answer this question. ”

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Bao consulted Pang Tong many times in the future, and developed a tactic conducive to night warfare, becoming the most powerful night combat expert in history.

Before Cao Ren, who was in the customs clearance, had time to send troops to recruit Zhang Bao, he received the news that Liu Bei's main force had arrived outside the city.

Looking at the overwhelming army of Liu Bei outside the city, a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart!

Ten times the difference between himself, can this already somewhat broken Tongguan really be able to stop it?

"Is there any news of reinforcements in the direction of Chang'an?" Cao Ren asked.

Cao Tai, Xiahou Cheng and the others shook their heads and did not speak.

Actually, Cao Ren himself understands.

Cao Cao has no troops to send!

Now only by mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized in the pass can stop Liu Bei's progress!

He was determined to stop Liu Bei, thinking that Cao Cao would gain more time.

That's the only thing he'll be able to do!

Under the protection and support of the ministers, Liu Bei stood on top of the dragon chariot and came to the outside of Tongguan.

Looking at Tongguan, which no longer had a city gate tower, Liu Bei laughed out loud and shouted loudly: "Zixiao, can such a broken pass still stop my iron horse?" ”

"Your Majesty Xuande, you have won the world with benevolence! Why do you want to kill them all now? Cao Ren's address to Liu Bei was very tactful, which made Liu Bei feel relieved when he heard it.

Liu Bei shook his head, sighed, and persuaded: "Zixiao, it's not that I want to kill them all, but that you are obsessed!" I issued a holy decree in front of Caoyang Pass: those who descend will not be killed, and they will be used for what they can! Do you remember? ”

"Your Majesty does have such a statement, but He Ren can't follow it!" When Cao Ren heard this, he had to bow his head in shame.

"Before clearing the customs today, I still said this: those who surrender will not be killed, if they resist stubbornly, then stop blaming me for the ruthlessness of these soldiers! Thou shalt wait for the good life to consider, and if you can't make a decision tomorrow, wait to accept my wrath! After speaking, Liu Bei retreated with the army.

Hearing this, Cao Ren's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

He was taken aback by Liu Bei's gaze. Liu Bei's implication is still waiting for his decision, but will he really betray Apu?

He shook his head to himself.

Yes, he won't!

No, it should be said that he can't, he can't betray Cao Cao at all! Because he can't afford it!

Since following Cao Cao on this road, he has become a dog of Cao Cao, a dog that can never be betrayed! Just like Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan, they also miss their dead brother Cao Chun......

Their lives are doomed, they will be dedicated to Cao Cao, and they will die for Cao Cao......

Therefore, when Liu Bei hadn't gone far, he suddenly shouted: "Liu Xuande, don't be delusional!" I, Cao Zixiao, will not surrender! You won't be saddled with the name of a coward! If you want to attack the city, you can attack it! ”

Liu Bei, who was on the way back, was stunned when he heard this voice, and immediately smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Fei in front of him: "Third brother, tell me to go down, and the catapult is ready to attack the city!" ”

"No!"

Liu Bei is no longer the wise man with a heart full of benevolence.

He has grown into an overlord with absolute power, and naturally he must have the courage and dignity of the overlord!

In the face of Cao Ren's such a weak counterattack, how could he let it go easily?

When the stone-throwing troops attacked the city, Liu Bei listened to the report of Zhang Bao and others.

Giving great support and affirmation to everyone in the night battle, he said: "In these battles, Bao'er has grown up very quickly, can analyze his own gains and losses in time, and is good at correcting his mistakes!" Your future growth is limitless! I hope you can grow up quickly and help Zen'er keep this foundation! ”

"Thank you Uncle Huang for your teachings!" Zhang Bao hurriedly thanked him.

After condolences to Zhang Bao and other pioneer generals, Liu Bei asked Pang Tong again: "Pang Qing, how do you think Tongguan should be captured?" ”

"Your Majesty, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: where the army is the enemy: the mountains are close to the valleys, the life is high, the battle is long, and the army of the mountains here. If there is no water, there will be far water; The guest comes from the water, do not welcome it in the water, so that it can be hit half-helped, and it will be profitable; Those who want to fight welcome guests without being attached to the water; The place of observation is high, there is no water current, and the army on the water here is also. Absolutely rebuke Ze, but there is nothing left behind; If the army is in the repulsion, it will carry the trees according to the water and grass, and the army of the rebuke here is also. The flat land is easy, and the right back is high, the former dies and the latter lives, and the army of the flat land here is also. All the benefits of the four armies, the reason why the Yellow Emperor won the four emperors. Pang Tong said, "The gate of Chenguantong Pass has been burned and has been damaged, and His Majesty has made the catapult attack it again, and the enemy's advantage has been lost, so it can be taken quickly!" ”

What does Pang Tong mean?

That is to say, Cao Ren originally had the advantage of holding the city of Tongguan, but it was destroyed by Zhang Bao's rocket attack at night, and now it was destroyed by a large number of catapults sent by Liu Bei, and this advantage has been destroyed.

Then against Cao Ren, who has no advantage, in the case of having an advantage in troops, he can naturally attack quickly!

Liu Bei nodded, and then ordered the army to attack.

Sure enough.

In the evening, the vanguard broke through the gates of Tongguan.

The hussar general Zhang Feiyue carried a spear and entered Tongguan with an iron-armored heavy horse. Generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Gao Ran followed closely and entered the city.

As soon as the city was broken, Cao's army scattered and fled.

Guarded by his son Cao Tai's three brothers and Xiahou Yuan's four sons, Cao Ren had to abandon Tongguan again, escape from the city gate, and retreat towards Chang'an.

When he fled into Chang'an, Cao Ren had already passed out and died on his horse.

Listening to Cao Tai's lecture on the battle of Tongguan, Cao Cao sat on the couch and suddenly turned his back with an "oops".

A group of advisers and generals hurriedly called Lang Zhong.

After a while, Cao Cao relieved himself and said in a mournful voice: "Is it true that God wants to forget himself?" ”

Cheng Yu said on the side: "Lord, this is not the time to complain!" When to decide when to retreat to Hanzhong? ”

The strategists next to him echoed in unison.

Yes, this is not the time to complain!

It's time to retreat to Hanzhong!

There is a sloping valley, which is enough to make Liu Xuande's millions of elite soldiers useless!

He looked at the crowd and asked, "Can you pack it up?" ”

"It's all packed! It's just that who is stationed in Chang'an still needs to be decided! Cheng Yu said cautiously.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to support Cheng Yu, slowly got up, and said in a low voice: "No matter which general is stationed here, it is just to delay Liu Xuande to catch up with us!" Now Liu Xuande's army is still a hundred miles away! What am I afraid of? No one was left, all of them retreated to Hanzhong! ”

Sure enough, it's for the hero!

With such great courage, he is the only one today, Cao Cao!

He wants to take away all the treasures, gold and silver of Chang'an, which will be the basis for regaining glory in the future!

He wants to take away all the soldiers, these will be the strength of Hanzhong in the future!

"No!" Cheng Yu and others responded.

Cao Cao instructed again: "Are you all ready?" ”

"Back to the lord, everything is ready! Some supplies have been sent to Hanzhong in advance! "Cheng Yu has arranged these things a long time ago.

"Who's stationed in the valley?"

"Le Jin Le Wenqian!"

"Good! Command the army and set off at once! ”

Cao Cao decisively abandoned Chang'an and retreated to Hanzhong with his army.

At this time, there were 50,000 troops led by Xu Chu and Han Sui on the border of Xiliang who were fighting with Huaxiong and Ma Chao.

Suddenly received an order to retreat, Xu Chu and Han Sui didn't know why, and they didn't know why they wanted to retreat to Qinzhou.

It wasn't until they retreated to Qinzhou that they learned that the lord Cao Cao had been defeated, Chang'an had been lost, and the north of Fufeng and Chencang had entered Liu Bei's jurisdiction!
