Chapter 285: Interception

That ride, like a yellow lightning, galloped down the mountain.

At this time, Fang Dongsheng said, the sky was not bright, the enemy army in the hurry, suddenly heard the sound of killing, when Fang Zi was frightened, but saw countless enemies, like ghosts, suddenly appeared, all over the mountains and fields from the Dingjun Mountain to kill.

Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart at this moment.

He guarded Hanzhong and asked himself to be quite familiar with the terrain in Hanzhong, especially near Yangping Pass.

However, even so, Zhao Yun never expected that the enemy would not know it, and he would hide more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Dingjun Mountain, and the scouts he sent were completely undetected.

At this moment, his thousands of horsemen marched through the wilderness like a long snake, and countless enemy soldiers rushed down from a high position, killing him in an instant, and he had no time to line up to meet the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy was killed, and the Hanzhong army was stopped and cut into several sections.

In field combat, the most taboo thing is that the formation is scattered, and as soon as it is broken like this, the command system of the entire army is immediately destroyed.

Zhao Yun, who was at the front of the team, was trapped by more than 2,000 Shu troops, and lost contact with the troops behind, and each department fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own.

The Hanzhong army, which lost its command and fell into an ambush, was quickly defeated. They were fighting on their own, and they were killed by the menacing Yizhou soldiers, and they began to collapse in a comprehensive way after a while.

Zhao Yun, who was under siege, was anxious, he only had less than three hundred pro-troops around him, and with these three hundred elite soldiers, he rushed left and right to try to break through the enemy's encirclement, and reconnected several disconnected troops.

It's just that the enemy is obviously prepared, and these equally elite Yizhou soldiers, under the command of Huang Zhong, united and cooperated, fought bravely, and blocked Zhao Yun's breakthrough again and again.

The battle was fought from early morning to near noon, most of the Hanzhong soldiers either fled or were slaughtered, more and more Yizhou soldiers surrounded them, and Zhao Yun in the fight swept away at a glance, only to see that as far as the eye could see, all were black and oppressive enemies.

Huang Zhong, who won a surprise attack, saw that there was still an enemy general in the siege, and he was majestic, and he couldn't take it down for the time being, Huang Zhong guessed that the enemy general must be Zhao Yun.

Cutting off Zhao Yun's head is naturally a great achievement, but Huang Zhong temporarily suppressed this temptation.

Compared to killing Zhao Yun, he had more important things to do.

Although Zhao Yun was defeated, there were still more than 5,000 defenders in Yangping Pass, if these enemy troops heard that the Dingjun Mountain Lord would be defeated, they still closed themselves and waited for a large number of reinforcements to aid Hanzhong from the south of Guanzhong, then they still could not achieve their goal in this surprise attack.

Taking into account the overall situation, Huang Zhong left more than 4,000 people to continue to besiege Zhao Yun, and he led more than 6,000 elites, followed by the defeated and fleeing enemy soldiers, all the way to the enemy's Xizhai pursuit.

In such a chaotic situation, the defenders of Xizhai heard the plan, and did not know the life and death of the main general Zhao Yun, and the will to fight soon collapsed, and the only remaining more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, together with the more than 1,000 defeated soldiers, abandoned the camp and fled in the direction of Yangpingguan.

Huang Zhong's army broke into the village and pursued closely.

When the defeated enemy army fled to the edge of the river, they had to slow down because they crossed the river, and they were killed by the Yizhou soldiers who followed them, and thousands of remnants were wantonly shot by the Yizhou soldiers on the shore as a living saddle on the way to wade across the river, and the entire water was stained with blood.

The water is used to go to the source of the Han River, the water is not deep, Huang Zhong waded across the river after the big kill, and went straight to Yangping Pass along the road.

The guards on the pass did not know the situation of the battle on Dingjun Mountain, but when they saw their soldiers rushing back, they opened the gate and planned to let the defeated army enter the pass.

When more than 1,000 defeated soldiers squeezed in front of the gate of Daguan City, the Yizhou soldiers who followed suddenly arrived.

Only then did the defenders realize the seriousness of the situation and were anxious to close the gates.

Only, it's too late.

The defeated soldiers who were congested at the city gate and the drawbridge gate, seeing that the pursuers were coming again, were desperate to squeeze towards the city gate, so that you pushed me, but the city gate was blocked more and more tightly, and it was impossible to close it at all.

After a while, the Yizhou soldiers arrived, killing from the drawbridge to the city gate, and then driving the remaining enemies, all the way through the city gate, and into Yangping Pass.

The city has been broken, and the army of 5,000 troops in turmoil can defeat the tiger and wolf soldiers under Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong took the lead in entering the city, and killed from the east of the city to the west of the city.

More than 10,000 Yizhou troops stationed in Guanxi, but when they saw the chaos in Yangping Pass, they knew that the main general Huang Zhong had succeeded, so they left the camp and launched an attack from the west of Guancheng.

Under the internal and external attacks, 5,000 defenders either died or surrendered, and when dusk fell, Huang Zhong finally planted his banner on the tower of Yangping Pass.

The remnant sun shone in the west, and on the desolate dirt road, Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood, hurried eastward single-handedly.

He was in pain.

Everything that happened today, up to this point, was like a dream, and he felt unreal in a trance.

He couldn't figure out why he fell for the enemy's conspiracy and tricks, and how he threw away Yangping Pass, which was known as a natural danger.

Zhao Yun firmly believed that Huang Zhong's old horseman could barely compete with him in terms of bravery, but when it came to resourcefulness, he definitely didn't believe that this old boy would come up with such a well-conceived plan.

Zhao Yun faintly felt that behind Huang Zhong, there must be a master who was supporting him, but he would never have thought that the so-called master he guessed would be Liu Feng thousands of miles away.

When it was dark, Zhao Yun retreated to Nanzheng non-stop.

The soldiers and civilians of a city were all shocked and stunned when they heard the news of the defeat at Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass was lost, which means that the Yizhou Army not only opened up the road into Hanzhong, but also meant that the most convenient road for the Guanzhong Army to enter Hanzhong was cut off.

Moreover, there are only less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left in Nanzheng City, and with this number of soldiers and horses alone, it is a problem to defend Nanzheng, let alone Hanzhong.

Under these circumstances, the civil and military forces of Southern Zheng advocated abandoning Hanzhong and withdrawing from Xiegu to Guanzhong, but their motions were flatly rejected by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is very clear that at present, Liu Bei's main force has merged with the state, and there are only a handful of soldiers left behind in the two states of Yongliang, once he abandons Hanzhong, Huang Zhong's Shu army will go north out of the Qinling Mountains, and the first line of Guanlong will have no soldiers to defend.

The consequences of this will be catastrophic.

After weighing it, Zhao Yun decided to hold Nanzheng with 3,000 troops.

As long as this Hanzhong governance site is held, Huang Zhong's Shu army will not be able to attack Guanlong with all its might, so as long as it can be held for ten days and a half months, it can buy enough time for Liu Bei's main force to return to Hanzhong.

Zhao Yun believed that as long as Liu Bei's army could enter Hanzhong in time, he would be able to repel Huang Zhong and recapture Yangping Pass.

Zhao Yun, as a general in Hanzhong, has military power and prestige, he insists on not abandoning Hanzhong, and the civil and military officials naturally have no choice.

Huang Zhong defeated Zhao Yun in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, and successfully captured Yangping Pass, two days later, he led an army of 20,000 troops to the east along the Shuishui Avenue and entered the Hanzhong Plain.

At this time, there were only a few hundred county soldiers left in Weiyang, Huangsha, and Baozhong counties, and in the face of tens of thousands of Shu soldiers who came from the great victory, the counties were shocked and surrendered.

Huang Zhong's soldiers captured several counties in central and western Han without blood, and a few days later the army entered Nanzheng and besieged the isolated city.

#####εƒι‡ŒδΉ‹ε€–, Wild King Front.

Liu Feng and Liu Bei's more than 200,000 soldiers and horses had been fighting fiercely for nearly a month on the front more than ten miles west of Yewang City.

First of all, because of the death of Shamoke, Liu Feng ordered all the armies to attack in a fit of rage, and launched a fierce attack on Liu Bei's army camps.

On Liu Bei's side, Ma Chao's great victory boosted the morale of his army, and he calmly responded to Liu Fengjun's onslaught with a calm and sophisticated attitude, and seized the opportunity to decisively counterattack.

In the more than ten days of fighting, the two sides gained and lost each other, each lost thousands of soldiers, and the battle lines and camps of the two sides changed hands, but in the end they still failed to change the entire battle situation.

After ten days of onslaught, Liu Feng's offensive gradually entered the end of the crossbow, and in the case of declining morale, Liu Feng had to order to stop the offensive and switch to small-scale harassment warfare.

As for Wei Yan's troops on the south bank, after losing the previous battle of crossing the river and losing Shamoke and thousands of barbarian troops, although they made several attempts to cross the river, due to the strong mobility and impact of Ma Chaoxiliang's cavalry, Wei Yan's several efforts ended in failure.

The two sides entered a stalemate on the front line in Hanoi, and neither side could break the opponent in a short time.

Liu Beijun, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Brother, the 10,000 new troops trained by Kong Ming's military division have arrived." Zhang Fei rushed in from outside the tent and shouted loudly.

Listening to Liu Bei's spirits, he smiled at Fa Zheng next to him: "Xiaozhi, our army has added 10,000 new troops, in my opinion, now is the time for us to launch a counterattack." ”

After more than ten days of silence, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng were already planning to end the war in Hanoi with a counterattack and drive Liu Feng back to the south of the Yellow River.

The reason why Liu Bei has not taken action is precisely waiting for this 10,000 new force.

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Liu Feng has been frustrated repeatedly, and now it is the end of the crossbow, our army's morale is flourishing, and 10,000 new soldiers and horses have been added, in my opinion, it is indeed time to counterattack." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's blood burst and shouted: "Brother, give me these 10,000 soldiers and horses, this time I will kill Liu Feng's Chinese army, kill the dog thief with my own hands, and avenge my second brother." ”

At the mention of Guan Yu's hatred, Liu Bei's face immediately surged with indignation.

"Okay, I'll ...... it"

When Liu Bei was about to give a generous order, suddenly a pro-army outside hurriedly entered and presented a silk book: "Qi Yu Lord, Hanzhong urgently report, Yangping Pass has been lost, Nanzheng is besieged, Kong Ming's military division asks the lord to rate the army back to help." ”
