At this moment, Huang Zhong was blocked in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He never imagined that the Wu army would make a detour to land in Chengyang by sea and block the communication fortress connecting the north and the south in such an incredible way.

At this time, Huang Zhongfang remembered Guan Xing's previous reminder.

Although it seems that the results are very impressive, in fact, because the advance speed of Huang Zhong's army is too fast, it is too late to take effective control measures against those newly surrendered counties, which leads to the fact that the officials in many places only surrender in name, and Huang Zhong has no time to send troops to subdue those newly surrendered places.

It is precisely for this reason that when Xu Gai's naval army landed on the coast of Yangcheng County, the officials of the newly surrendered Han State along the coast immediately rebelled and returned to Wu, which made Xu Gai cross Wulian Mountain all the way unimpeded, and captured the laxly garrisoned Dongguan City with an easy surprise attack without warning.

In fact, even Guan Xing himself did not judge the true intentions of the Wu people, and the rear problems he was worried about were only trivial matters such as the instability of the people in the newly surrendered land and the long supply line.

Therefore, when Guan Xing heard the news, he was also very surprised.

"Old general, the Wu people made this trick, it seems that we have been tricked. Now that half of the grain and grass have been burned, and the grain road has been cut off, we have to quickly recapture Dongguan, otherwise let alone take the country, we are afraid that the 30,000 troops on the front line will collapse. ”

Guan Xing's meaning was very clear, that is, to urge Huang Zhong to order the withdrawal of troops to the north, but Huang Zhong quickly regained his composure after the initial shock.

"The fall of Dongguan is obviously Cao Zhen's plan, since he has already made this arrangement, then we will now pull out the camp and go north to be expected, if he takes the opportunity to lead the army to cover up, won't our army suffer from the enemy?"

Huang Zhong's scruples are also reasonable, but the generals don't know how to deal with it for a while, Huang Zhong stroked Bai Huahua's beard and groaned for a long time, and then said: "Withdrawal must be withdrawn, but it must also be hidden from Cao Zhen's ears and eyes." According to the old man's opinion, we should not know the news of the fall of Dongguan, create a situation of preparing for a large-scale siege of the city, and then take the opportunity to retreat north at night, and when Cao Zhen's house responds, we may have already recaptured Dongguan City, and then he will be helpless against us. ”

Huang Zhong's strategy was also prudent, and the generals had no objections and immediately acted separately.

The generals returned to the battalions, and on the one hand, they ordered the soldiers to secretly pack up the generals, not to use any heavy equipment, but to prepare lightly, and to bring more than ten days of dry food.

At the same time, the Han army built a Shenwei artillery position on the north gate of the city, and wantonly built siege weapons such as ladders and chariots, preparing to attack the city on a large scale.

………… 剡国城.

A big battle in the evening before almost cost him his life, but when he fled back to the city, he was surprised to find that the north camp of the Han army was on fire, and at dawn the next day, the Han army hurriedly withdrew from the south camp and concentrated all its forces on the north gate.

When a large number of reinforcements arrived, they were under the city according to the wall, and when Cao Zhen entered the city and informed him of the plan, Biqiu Jian suddenly realized.

"I wanted to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that the messenger would be robbed by the thieves on the way, and the matter would be leaked, so I had to keep you in the dark, and I didn't want to let you almost die, it's really hard for you." Cao Zhen's tone was vaguely apologetic.

Biqiu Jian said with a smile: "General Zidan's words are serious, as long as I can kill the thief, what does it matter if I take some risks." But speaking of which, General Zidan is really like a god, and this strategy is really a stroke of genius. It's just that Huang Zhong seems to be in the dark, and he doesn't know that we intercepted his back road, and he still looks like he is ready to attack. ”

Cao Zhen sneered: "Such a big thing, how could the old man not know, I thought he was playing the trick of Ming Xiu Plank Road and Ming Du Chen Cang, hmph, did he think he could deceive me." ”

Biqiu Jian looked stunned, and hurriedly asked, "General, how do you say this?" ”

"It's very simple, although Huang Zhong is a horseman, but also a little bit of the art of war, he knows that Dongguan is occupied by us, the back road is cut off, he must want to rush back to recapture Dongguan, but he is afraid that when he retreats, people's hearts will be unstable, and we will take advantage of the situation from behind to kill, resulting in a rout of control."

Before Cao Zhen could finish speaking, Biqiu Jian immediately understood, and said: "So the old horseman pretended to attack on a large scale, so as to confuse us and let us only concentrate on defending the city, but this old horseman pretended to escape, General Zidan, am I right?" ”

Cao Zhen smiled: "Yes, that's right." ”

Seeing that Cao Zhen's face was confident, Biqiu Jian smiled again: "Since the general has guessed the old man's intentions again, then the general has the courage to guess whether the general has a good plan to deal with it." ”

Cao Zhen sneered, and a hideous look appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It was night, and there was silence in the Han camp, but there was anxiety and panic in the silence.

Obviously, the news of the loss of Dongguan and the cutting off of the grain route had spread throughout the camp, and although Huang Zhong and the generals repeatedly appeased the soldiers, these simple soldiers were still uneasy.

The battalions were almost packed up, and the drama should have been played enough, Huang Zhong prepared to create a greater offensive posture tomorrow, and then took advantage of the evening to quickly abandon the camp and retreat north under the cover of night.

It was late at night, and many anxious soldiers were sleeping, but Huang Zhong couldn't sleep.

He walked out of the tent in his clothes, looking at the brightly lit city from afar, his old face was full of melancholy and loss, and he would sigh from time to time.

'Could it be that I, Huang Zhong, am really old and useless? It's rare for Fang Da Sima to give me this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but I made it like this, alas——'

I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, just thinking about it for a long time in the middle of the night, and finally my body began to feel tired and sleepy, Huang Zhong sighed for the last time, that is, he was ready to go back to the tent to rest.

Just as he turned around, suddenly, there was a loud noise in the southeast direction, as if countless people and horses were rushing in an instant, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.

'The enemy has robbed the camp!' Huang Zhong was secretly taken aback, and these four words instinctively flashed in his mind.

However, this little movement was not enough to move Huang Zhong.

Sure enough, with the noise, the generals on duty in the battalion reacted quickly, immediately sounded the gong to warn, and the soldiers who slept at night woke up, and within a minute, they ran out of the tent, holding their weapons, and rushed to the direction of the enemy's attack under the instructions of the general on duty.

Well, it's my subordinate, and it seems that I don't need to go out myself. Huang Zhong stroked his white beard and smiled approvingly.

However, in the blink of an eye, the sound of killing in the southwest also rose, and the drums rumbled like thunder, as if there were more soldiers and horses rushing all the way.

The sergeants and soldiers of the army were taken aback, but before they had time to reminisce about the surprise, they were driven by the generals and officers to rush to the southwest battalion for reinforcements.

At this time, Huang Zhong vaguely felt a trace of unease.

Because of the failure of the previous day, he was already deeply jealous of Cao Zhen, and when he saw that he suddenly attacked the camp at night from two ways, he guessed that it would not be as simple as robbing the camp.

Sure enough, just when he was still guessing, the cannon sound from the south rose from the ground, and in the shouting of the tide, it seemed that thousands of troops and horses and divine soldiers descended from the sky, killing violently.

The soldiers who were already anxious and anxious could no longer hold their breath when the soldiers and horses of the Third Road Raid Battalion appeared, and these soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time were already panicked at this moment, if it were not for the generals who were driving them, they were afraid that they would abandon their weapons and flee in fear.

Suddenly, Huang Zhong guessed everything, he knew that Cao Zhen must have seen through his plan, this time the raid was not an ordinary harassment tactic, but to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this section, Huang Zhong's expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "Anguo, where is Guan Anguo?" ”

"Old general, the situation is not good, I think there must be a conspiracy for the enemy to attack like this." Before Huang Zhong's words fell, Guan Xing was already riding his horse, and he shouted before he even had time to get off the horse, obviously he also guessed the enemy's intentions, and hurried to discuss with Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhongqiang calmed his mind and said in a deep voice: "I expect that the thief army will be attacked by many nights, the purpose is to use this to make a big noise, and want to disturb the hearts of our army. Anguo, you quickly go and gather the whole army, gather in the camp of the Chinese army, and form a ring formation to defend the surroundings, no matter how many people and horses he attacks, I think I will not change to meet all changes. ”

Huang Zhong is worthy of being a veteran, and he knows how to deal with this offensive mode of attacking the battalion in a separate way, but what he knows is still a step too late, and he has lost the first move, how can it be so easy to get it back.

At the same time that Huang Zhong gave the order, four more enemy forces were launched one after another, forming a fan-shaped attack surface against the Han camp from east to west.

The earth-shaking sound only stirred the whole earth to rumble, under the reflection of the lights, the dust and mist rolled up in the sky, and in the darkness, only the sound of shouting and killing could be heard, but it was impossible to see how many soldiers and horses were killed.

The grain and grass were burned, the back road was cut off, and there were many enemies and soldiers and horses killed by an unknown number of roads, and under the oppression of all kinds of unfavorable factors, the fighting spirit of most of the soldiers of the Han army collapsed.

Defeated!

"Old general, we can't bear it, let's withdraw." Guan Xing, who came from the horse, brought this bad news to Huang Zhong.

The rout in front of Huang Zhong was in full view, and at this moment, he, who had always refused to accept his old age, felt that he was really old.

The fear of aging is even more desperate than the defeat in front of you.

"Old general, let's withdraw, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Guan Xing saw that Huang Zhong was stunned, motionless, and hurriedly shouted.

After shouting a few times, seeing that Huang Zhong still didn't move, Guan Xing was helpless, so he gritted his teeth, grabbed Huang Zhong's horse reins, pulled him, and beckoned the soldiers to look north and retreat under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Han troops fled in despair, and behind them, the Seven-Route Wu Army chased after them all the way.

Along the way, the army around him became less and less, after a few days and nights of endless evacuation, Huang Zhong only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and in Dongguan City, thirty miles to the north, the flag of Wu was still fluttering in the wind.

There is a vicious wolf chasing behind, and there is a roadblock in front, Huang Zhong is very depressed at this moment.
