"Zhang Dudu, Chen Cangcheng has been taken, the 2,000 defenders have been annihilated more than 600 people, and the rest except for more than 100 people who fled into Chen Cang Road, all of them have been captured, and more than 200 of them are seriously injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rescue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOur army is a surprise attack, and there are only more than 500 casualties! ”
Under Chen Cangcheng, Lei Tong reported to Zhang Renyu. Since 40,000 people entered Guanzhong, Zhang Ren and Lei Tong led the only 10,000 cavalry and rushed to the Chencang Ancient Road at full speed. Due to the scarcity of troops in Guanzhong, Zhong Xuan never expected that Zhang Ren's target was actually the ancient city of Chencang, and secondly, his own troops were indeed scarce, so he failed to intercept them too effectively. Guanzhong is a plain, Zhang Ren long-distance raid two days to Chencang City, all of a sudden hit Zhong Xuan caught off guard, and hurriedly transferred troops to recapture Chencang.
After Zhang Ren occupied Chencang, not only Sima Yi in Hanzhong was blocked, but Du Xian, who was confronting Ma Chao above the Sanguan, was also about to face the danger of the grain road being cut off. Zhong Xuan knew that the situation was serious, and hurriedly transferred more than 10,000 people from Xianyang and Wugong to recapture Chencang.
But where is Chen Cang so easy to win? Attacking from the Chencang Ancient Road is certainly difficult; Even if it's attacking from the gate, it's not so easy. When Lei Tong was stationed in Chencang, in order to be able to resist Xiahou Yuan in Guanzhong, he once strengthened the city. Now under the attack of Sima Yi and Zhong Xuan, it is still An Ruo Taishan.
What made Zhong Xuan and Sima Yi vomit blood even more was that the previous batch of grain and grass that was transported to Sanguan happened to be transported to Chencang City, which was all called Zhang Renxiao. So don't look at Zhang Ren being trapped in Chen Cang now, this little day is moisturizing, just shoot back two people every day. Of course, Zhong Xuan was lucky, if Hao Zhao hadn't brought most of the people to support Tongguan and Pujin Pass, Zhang Ren's 40,000 troops would have all entered Guanzhong, even if he didn't come to attack Chencang, Zhang Ren would have to attack Chang'an.
"Zhang Ren?" Sima Yi looked at the short and sturdy yellow-skinned man on Chen Cangcheng's head, and he was also full of hatred. Three days after Zhang Ren occupied Chencang Road, Sima Yi's front foot and back foot also arrived. The problem is that in the face of Chen Cangjiancheng, he can't come up with any good solutions for a while. At this moment, Guo Huai sent someone to deliver the news, saying that the Xiegu Pass was also occupied by the enemy general Zhu Ran, and he was trapped in the Xiegu and was in a dilemma. As a result, all of Sima Yi's horses were stuck in the pass and could not enter an inch.
"Fight with me!" Sima Yi was ruthless, if he couldn't recapture Guanzhong, he could only be trapped in this corner of Hanzhong, how could Zhao Feng deal with himself in the future, not with a handle? The main general gave an order, and 40,000 Hanzhong troops attacked the ancient city of Chencang. But how strong is Chencang? In history, Hao Zhao was able to stop Zhuge Liang's 100,000 army with only 3,000 defenders. Now that Zhang Ren has more than 10,000 defenders, it is not easier to deal with Sima Yi's 40,000 people. Sima Yi attacked for a long time, but with little success.
On the fifth day, Sima Yi came up with a vicious idea, he knew that Liu Beijun had always loved the people, so he ordered people to go to nearby villages and towns to rob more than 1,000 people, and drive them to attack the city, it depends on how Zhang Ren responds and whether he will kill the people.
As a result, Zhang Ren was also desperate: he threw a bundle of dry firewood poured with fire oil under the city, and then in Sima Yi's unwilling eyes, Shi Shiran dropped a torch. At the moment of the raging fire, the people who were driven by it suddenly dispersed. Sima Yi was furious, but he was helpless. Zhang Ren is determined to defend Chen Cang, but he doesn't compete with you Sima Yi.
The same scene also happened at Xiegu Pass. In the face of Guo Huai's repeated insults, Zhu Ran either pretended to be deaf and dumb, or scolded Guo Huai with great interest. But in the face of Guo Huai's challenge, Zhu Ran still chose to shrink back and wait for Liu Bei's reinforcements with peace of mind. Guo Huai was so angry that he ordered people to tackle the problem, but there were only more than 10,000 people under his command, and in the face of the Xiegu Pass garrisoned by 5,000 people, he was really powerless, and several attacks ended hastily.
Not to mention that Sima Yi and Guo Huai were helpless at this time, Pujin Pass, Cao Ying gathered men and horses in the early morning of the third day to prepare to attack the pass, but he was surprised to find that Zhao Feng actually took the initiative to fight. More than 2,000 people said that it was not too much, but it was not much less, and they set up a position under Pujin Pass, as if they wanted to fight to the death with themselves.
"What is this?" Cao Ying and the others immediately looked at each other, could it be that the other party really had some big moves, so that they had no fear and were ready to fight to the death with themselves? Thinking of this, Cao Ying felt that his head hurt a little. This Zhao Botao will never make you understand what he will do in the next moment.
"Lord, it doesn't look like this person is bluffing!" Seeing this, Cheng Yu said softly, Cao Ying nodded heavily, and then ordered the three armies to cross the river, preparing to set up a battle for each other.
The open land in front of Pujin Pass is not big, but it is not small. If it was a normal battle, how could it accommodate more than 10,000 people. Now that Zhao Feng led an army of 2,000 to set up a formation under the city, how could Cao's army pass 10,000 people. Even if the elite soldiers of Danyang are all the elite of the world, it is impossible to defeat five with one. Of course, in order to beware that the other party was a Super Saiyan, Cao Ying didn't dare to be careless, so he wanted to send his ace infantry Tiger Guard to deal with more than 2,000 people. But at this moment, Cao Hong took the initiative to ask for help.
"Lord, this Zhao Botao dares to call out here, obviously bullying me and others. Hong Bucai is willing to lead a group of men and horses to kill and cross the river, capture this person, and sacrifice the lord! ”
"Huh?" Cao Ying was a little caught off guard, turned his head and looked at Jia Xu with inquiring eyes, the latter felt the meaning in Cao Ying's eyes, just shook his head slightly, and then gestured to Xu Chu on the side. At this moment, Cao Xiu also took the initiative to ask for help, and Cao Xiu was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Lord, I am willing to help Uncle Hong defeat Zhao Botao. If you don't win, be willing to be a military order! Cao Xiu hugged his fists. Knowing that the children of his two clans had suffered big losses under Zhao Feng, Cao Ying also understood that their desire for revenge this time was extremely eager. In the face of such a fist, Cao Ying was not easy to refuse for a while. Looking at the opposite side of the river bank again, it really didn't look like there was anything abnormal, Cao Ying thought about it again and again, and ordered Cao Hong and Cao Xiu to lead 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers across the river to engage in battle.
"You two still need to be careful, don't underestimate the enemy!" Cao Ying always felt that something was wrong, and Zhao Feng's expression on the other side was too relaxed, even across the Yellow River, Cao Ying could see the relaxed smile on his face. It seems that he is not fighting, but basking in the sun, or is it that he does not take his 100,000 army in his eyes at all?
"Uncle, there are many people in me, but we can't rush up, we need to take it step by step, slowly approaching, so that Zhao Botao can't escape" Before crossing the river, Cao Xiu admonished Cao Hong. Although he was eager to cut the people on the other side of the river with a thousand knives, Cao Xiu also knew that Zhao Feng was very good, for fear that he would have some tricks to plot against himself, so he suggested this.
"That's how it should be!" Cao Hong was not hopelessly stupid, and according to Cao Xiu's proposal, the army slowly crossed the river along the pontoon bridge, and then set up a position and prepared for battle. From beginning to end, Zhao Feng did not stop the whole process, and watched as 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers crossed the river.
"General, they're here!" Looking at Cao Jun, who had already assembled a military formation, Zhang Wei's face on the side had changed a little. There are too many enemy troops on the opposite side, and seeing that there is at most a bag of cigarettes, the opponent can form up and kill him.
"I know, herald, drums, fire!" Zhao Feng looked at Cao Hong, who was only a few dozen steps away from him, and ordered with a wave of his hand, and then the dozen cowhide drums on the head of the city beat up. Cao Ying, who was on the other side, heard the sound of the drum, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he stared at the other side with round eyes, seeing what other tricks Zhao Feng had, was there still an ambush like last time? Even if there are ambushes, then you have to see how many of them there are. Moreover, what he sent this time was an elite Qingzhou soldier, even if he was ambushed in broad daylight, he was not afraid of him, and he could retreat calmly.
"Spread out, light the fire!" Zhao Feng gave an order, and the two thousand Danyang elite soldiers suddenly withdrew, getting out of the way on both sides, and then the hidden city gate was opened, but a scalper rushed out inside!
"What is this?" Cao Hong and Cao Xiu looked at each other when they saw this, but they saw hundreds of cattle, five or six of them were tied together with wooden sticks, and then a bunch of thatch was tied to their tails, and after the defenders in the pass opened the door, they lit the thatch, and then the cattle were burned and screamed, and they should have fled in all directions, because their heads were fixed together to the east, and the city gate was wide open, so they suddenly poured out of the city and ran wildly to the east. And Zhao Feng and his subordinates had already dispersed, and as a result, these hundreds of cattle rushed directly towards Cao Hong and Cao Xiu and the Qingzhou soldiers under their command.
"Fire Bull Formation?" Seeing this, Cao Ying and Jia Xu in Hedong couldn't help blurting out their debut. That's right, what Zhao Feng was thinking about was the Fire Bull Formation. Yesterday, when he was thinking about the problem, he inadvertently saw the dozens of baggage trucks on the ground that were used to defraud the city, and Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the fire bull array. When he robbed and killed the baggage team, he seized more than 100 baggage carts, and each cart had two or three cattle pulling the cart, so now he and Wang Ping in Tongguan have hundreds of cattle. Originally, it was intended to be used to reward the soldiers, but now it seems that it can also be used as a weapon to break the enemy. At that moment, Zhao Feng sent Zhang Wei to lead people to Tongguan Wang Ping overnight to mobilize the cattle, and then Zhang Wei also collected the cattle from several nearby villages, and gathered a total of nearly 500 cattle, so that there was enough capital to exercise this fire bull array.
The Cao army that crossed the river was no more than 10,000 people, and if he knew in advance that the enemy was going to use the fire ox array, Cao Hong sent crossbowmen to shoot at the formation to stop the enemy. But now, Cao Hong was also caught off guard for a while. The two sides were only a few dozen paces apart, and hundreds of mad cows that had been burned to the ground had already rushed up.
"Hurry, retreat!" Cao Hong suddenly became anxious, and ordered to get out of the way. But this place was not very spacious in the first place, and he was in a hurry, and suddenly the formation of the whole army was chaotic. Not long after panicking, hundreds of crazy bulls rushed into Cao Jun's military array. Suddenly screaming, shouting and scolding, all kinds of messy sounds, with the chaotic situation in the field, the scene is called a spectacular! A scalper is different from a horse because it has horns on its head, so it is really lethal when it rushes. In addition, Zhao Feng used a wooden stick to fix their heads in one direction, which was even more powerful this time. Hundreds of cattle have disrupted the army of 10,000 people. Many soldiers and cattle were huddled together and finally fell into the turbulent Yellow River, which was a terrible situation.
"Kill me!" Just when the situation in the field was chaotic, Zhao Feng gave an order. Two thousand elite soldiers slaughtered those helpless Qingzhou soldiers, and the situation of Cao Hong and others was even worse. Cao Ying, who was on the other side of the river, saw that he couldn't do anything, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and asked Cao Hong and others to retreat along the pontoon bridge as soon as possible.
"Chase!" Zhao Feng seemed to be reluctant to accept it, and seeing that Cao Hong still wanted to escape, he ordered to follow the pontoon bridge in pursuit. Cao Yingzheng was surprised to himself, but saw hundreds of enemy soldiers untie the cowhide water bags around them, throw them far away on the pontoon bridge, and land around these fleeing Qingzhou soldiers in a hurry, and they trampled on them. In a hurry to flee for their lives, almost no one noticed what the liquid was spilled from their skins.
A torch was thrown from Zhao Feng's hand, and the entire pontoon bridge suddenly burst into flames. Cao Ying looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who fled from the sea of fire, and the hand holding the reins was already skyrocketing.
