Chapter 979: The First Northern Expedition Twenty-nine

Sun Quan led the main force of the cavalry of the Wu army from Yangling City into Chiyang City, and then Chiyang City went directly south to Weishui, intending to follow the route of the Weishui River out of Guanzhong.

This road was very smooth, with Lu Bu's tiger in front of the road, and Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, two peerless warriors in the back, their main force was not intercepted and pursued.

Therefore, their march was very fast, and it only took a day for the army to march to the large camp on the bank of the Weishui River outside Wugong City.

"The last general is always upright, welcome Your Majesty!"

Chang Zheng personally led the troops out of the camp to respond.

"No need to be polite!"

Sun Quan Shilong jumped down directly on his horse, looked at Chang Zheng, and asked, "You can fight this battle smoothly, do you have big casualties?" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, this vanguard Wei army has little defense against us, so we went smoothly and took down five thousand vanguard soldiers of the Wei army at the cost of less than three hundred casualties!"

Chang Zheng reported the results of the battle: "Kill 2,000 enemies, capture 3,000, and collect 1,000 stones!" ”

"Good, well done!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his tense face showed a comfortable smile, and he strode into a main camp.

At this time, his gloomy mood for several days was barely relaxed.

Because when he led the main force of the tens of thousands of Wu troops to leave Chiyang and enter the Weishui River area, it was equivalent to walking out of the Jingzhao region and entering the area of Youfufeng.

Youfufeng County is a boundary belonging to Guanzhong and Xiliang.

This can be regarded as getting out of the encirclement of Chang'an City, of course, they are still in the great encirclement of the Wei army, and they have not been able to go south for a day, and they are still the prey of the enemy army after all.

But they were cavalry, and from here further west. The area began to look desolate, with few scattered cities, few houses, and a flat terrain, which was very suitable for the cavalry's combat environment.

This is in the favor of the Wu army.

After all, all the cavalry under his command is cavalry, and the cavalry is like the wind. As long as there is the terrain of the charge, even if the 100,000 troops of the Wei army start a battle, they will not be able to stop their footsteps.

"Where's Lu Bu?"

In the middle of the camp, Sun Quan sat down, took a sip of hot tea, warmed his somewhat cold stomach, and then looked at Chang Zheng and asked.

"Your Majesty. General Lu has already led the army to Chencang City! ”

Chang Zheng bowed down and said with a glance: "General Lu intends to use his body as a bait to provoke the Wei army in Chen Cangcheng, lure them out, beat them for a while, disrupt their position first, and wait until our main force arrives, it will be easier to break through!" ”

"What? Isn't he crazy? ”

Sun Quan heard this. His face turned cold, and his brows furrowed: "With his current strength." If he directly faced Chen Cangcheng's Wei army, it would be like an egg hitting a stone, even if he was forceful, once he was entangled, he would definitely die! ”

According to their predictions, the main force of the Wei army in Chen Cangcheng is now. At least 60,000 or 70,000, a little more 70,000, Lu Bu only has a lot of troops, if one is accidentally blocked, it will definitely be more than lucky.

"Your Majesty. In fact, the general had no choice but to do this, we learned from the mouths of the captives here that the Wei army returned to Guanzhong with more troops than we imagined, and they had at least 100,000 soldiers and horses! ”

"100,000 soldiers?"

Sun Quan's handsome face looked a little pale, this Zhang Liao is really ruthless enough, obviously Liangzhou has not yet stabilized, he suddenly withdrew half of his troops at once, and he has courage.

It's just that I'm suffering myself, and I'm really going to gnaw a hard bone this time.

"Your Majesty!"

Chang Cheng smiled a little bitterly: "If the Wei army finds out our main force and suddenly changes its style and sticks to Chencang, we want to go out, there is no chance at all, so General Lu wants to provoke them, give them a false impression of dividing their troops to break through, and let them go out of the city to encircle themselves!" ”

The speed of the Wu army's march was fast, and the news of the battle of Chang'an definitely did not reach Chencang, and Lu Bu took the lead in attacking at this time, which would create an illusion that the Wu army had been broken up by the defenders of Chang'an City.

If you don't choose the right way, you will crash into their main force.

In this way, the attitude of the Wei army will be much contemptive, and once they see that Lu Bu actually has this amount of troops, they will definitely take this opportunity to kill this Wu army general, and it is inevitable that they will come out.

This will help Sun Quan break through.

It can make Ye Lu Bu extremely dangerous.

"Chen arrives!"

Sun Quan stood up abruptly and shouted.

"In!"

When Chen Zhi heard this, he immediately walked out from outside.

"You immediately order 10,000 troops, and then immediately rush to Chencang to assist Lu Bu and the Wei army in maneuvering, you remind Lu Bu that I only need one way to go out, and I must not fight against them, now he has the advantage of their troops, and we have few troops, so it is best to take them around!"

Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "After I join Zhao Yun and them, I will break through immediately!" ”

"No!"

Chen Zhi nodded and took the order, and then immediately left the camp and ordered his troops to go west.

"Lei Ding, is there no news from Zhao Yun and Sun Ce now?"

Sun Quan looked at Chen Zhi's back, thought about it, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, his eyes flashed with this cold glow, and asked in a low voice.

When he was in Yangling City, he was not able to meet the forces of Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, and under the urgency of time, he did not dare to wait for a long time, for fear of missing the opportunity to break through, so he could only lead the first south.

Now they have walked out of the encirclement of Chang'an, but they are a little worried about whether Zhao Yun and Sun Ce can break out.

"Not yet!"

Lei Ding shook his head: "Your Majesty, we have sent several groups of scouts to contact, all of them are gone, and we don't know anything about what is behind now, but it is obvious that the Wei army has no trace of catching up, that is, General Zhao and General Sun have already dragged them back!" ”

"Send out scouts again, whether they live or die, I must have a message, if I don't get news from them, I will never leave the camp!"

Sun Quan's eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth.

"No!"

Hearing this, Lei Ding nodded in agreement.

After another day, the main force of the Wu army was still stationed on the bank of the Weishui River, and Sun Quan was still waiting, waiting for Zhao Yun and Sun Ce to come back and join them.

Time passed bit by bit, and his heart was a little cold.

Before, he thought that Zhao Yun and Sun Ce would join forces. Even if he is encircled, he should break out safely, and now it seems that he may be the fierceness of the Wei army general.

Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Pang De. No matter which one of them is a peerless warrior, under their attack, it is really not easy for Zhao Yun and Sun Ce to break out.

……

Yangling City is in the north of Chang'an, and Xianyang County is in the west of Chang'an.

The Wu army broke through and chose to bypass Chang'an City and go to Liangzhou, taking the Yangling City route and taking a straight line from Yangling to the west. Enter Chiyang, then go straight south to Weishui, and go west along Weishui.

This breakthrough route needed to avoid Xianyang County, but Sun Ce and Zhao Yun originally wanted to enter Yangling when they broke through, but in the end, they were forced by Guo Jia to break through to the direction of Xianyang County with a strategy.

The surrounding terrain of Xianyang County was narrow and there were many mountain peaks, which were very unsuitable for cavalry walking, and Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were forced to break through from the direction of Xianyang County. It is equivalent to abandoning two percent of one's own strength.

The most important thing is that when Sun Ce and Zhao Yun led the troops to break through from Xianyang County. Only then did I realize that this road was a dead end, and Xianyang County had already been heavily deployed by the Wei army.

The road ahead was blocked, and the pursuers behind did not hesitate to chase after them, and they entered a dead end, unable to advance or retreat.

Xianyang County. In Qin, it was the capital of Xianyang.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the world, he established Chang'an City as the capital, and Chang'an City was established on the basis of Xianyang City, but Chang'an City actually only intercepted most of the cities in the east and southwest of Xianyang City and then expanded to the east to build the city.

All that remains is a deserted area of the Northwest. It is established as Xianyang County, in fact, the scale is only a small town, located in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, bounded by Weishui.

Guo Jia has already arranged 5,000 troops here, and now he has personally come to guard this county seat, he stood at the head of the city, looking at a hillside outside the city, looking at it from a distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth slightly upturned.

"This time, Zhao Zilong, Sun Bofu, you can't escape even if you have wings!"

Sun Quan really chose to break through from the direction of Liangzhou, and he immediately sent troops from Chang'an to Yangling, but unfortunately he was one step slower and could not block Sun Quan's main force in Yangling, but he got an unexpected joy.

He stopped Zhao Yun and Sun Ce who broke out from the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City.

After blocking them, he knew that Zhao Yun and Sun Ce were strong, and he didn't want to fight hard, so he used a lot of thought and paid a lot of casualties to force Zhao Yun and Sun Ce to this point step by step.

In the first step, he gave up the pursuit of Sun Quan's main force, and smashed all his forces on the thousands of soldiers and horses of these two people.

If you can't surround them, you're incompetent.

The second step was naturally to cut off their way into Yangling City and force them into poor alleys, which was not difficult, but he paid 3,000 casualties, and even the general Pang De was wounded in this battle.

Now I finally got my wish.

He personally led his troops to block Xianyang, 5,000 ordinary soldiers and horses held Xianyang County, as long as he didn't attack, their thousands of cavalry couldn't pass at all, Dian Wei and Ma Chao were chasing behind, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were chasing, once they pounced, it was only a matter of time before they were taken.

Dam Mountain.

A steep hill in Xianyang County, with a cliff at one end and a slope at the other, when Sun Ce and Zhao Yun were blocked outside Xianyang County, they temporarily relied on the dangerous terrain here to camp down.

"Situ of the Wei Dynasty, Guo Fengxiao, really good ability, actually set a trap for us here!" Zhao Yun's face was resolute, his eyes looked at the county town of Xianyang that could be touched, and his fists were clenched.

He should have fought to the death in Yangling at the beginning, if he and Sun Ceqiang walked over, maybe they would have been able to walk out of a way to live, and they would not have walked into a dead end now.

"At most, in an hour, Dian Wei and Ma Chao will catch up!"

Sun Ce said in a deep voice.

"We can't wait to die!"

Zhao Yun said very directly: "Since there is no road, we will desperately find a way!" ”

As he spoke, he spread out a map of Guanzhong.

"Our only chance, Weishui!" Zhao Yun said: "Along the Weishui, we can meet Your Majesty!" ”

Sun Ce said: "But I'm afraid we don't even have a chance to get close to Weishui!" ”

"The opportunity is out, we want to get close to Weishui, then make a way!" Zhao Yun pointed: "You can fight both sides before and after, either you can enter Xianyang County, go out from Xianyang, or fight from behind us." ”

"Xianyang County definitely can't be defeated, we are cavalry, and we don't have siege equipment, so we can't help them!"

Sun Ce smiled, there was no trace of fear and despair in his smile, only a strong fighting spirit: "Then we only have one choice left, turn the troops and break through from the direction of Dian Wei and Ma Chao, this battle will definitely be nine deaths, their strength is more than five times ours, but I bet on a trace of life!" ”

"I'm also gambling on life!"

Zhao Yun also smiled, the aura contained in his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and the silver spear in his hand raised: "Pass my military order, all the soldiers are ready, after half an hour, turn the troops, break through from behind, and forcibly fight over, there is advance, no retreat!"
