Chapter 202: Lian Po is old?

"Lord, everything is as we imagined in advance, Zhang Wei's kid was really fooled, and it's time for us to take action next."

Fang Shao's words were a little proud, after all, he had also worried in advance, what to do if Zhang Wei didn't take the fall of Dingjun Mountain seriously, and he still couldn't retreat, but it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Since the plan to lure the enemy has been successful, let's break through the enemy village as soon as possible, the food carried by our army is not much, and it can only last ten days at most, so it is advisable to fight quickly." ”

Fa Zheng said: "Ten days is enough, but it is not the key to break through the enemy village, if that Zhang Wei sees that the situation cannot be defended, and retreats to Yangping Pass, then we will only win for a while, and Yangping Pass still cannot be broken." ”

Liu Bei said: "What if it is filial piety." ”

Fa Zheng seemed to be confident, stroked his beard and said: "There is already a plan, you can kill Zhang Wei, as long as you cut its main general, the Hanzhong army will inevitably collapse to Yangping Pass, at this time, our army can follow closely behind, follow the rout into the city in one fell swoop, when the enemy army has no leader, it will be discouraged and unable to resist, and our army will attack from the east and west at the same time, then Yangping Pass can be down in one fell swoop." ”

Liu Bei said excitedly: "I don't know what good plan Xiaozhi has, but can I kill that Zhang Wei?" ”

Fa Zheng calmly said the good strategy in his chest, and Fang Shao couldn't help but smile secretly when he heard it.

Fa Zheng's strategy is almost the same as when he beheaded Xiahou Yuan back then, and it seems that sometimes it is not just an accidental similarity, but the general trend is like this, and it seems that a wise and resourceful person like Fa Zheng is just following the trend.

Originally, Fang Shao also planned to offer this plan to Liu Bei, but now he gave Fa Zheng the first way, Fang Shao had no choice but to give up, anyway, his own merits are not small, if there is too much greed, wouldn't it be too popular, rather than this, it is better to be generous and let Fa Zheng show his face.

At that moment, Liu Bei acted according to the plan, and after setting up the camp, he pretended to make a feint attack on the Hanzhong military camp several times, and then closed the camp and waited for the opportunity.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei saw that he had repelled several attacks by the Yizhou army, and his self-confidence rose, and he thought that Liu Beijun was still the same as when he attacked Yangpingguan, and he couldn't help them. However, Zhang Wei did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered to set up layers of antlers outside the village, eager to wrap his camp into a hedgehog full of thorns.

Liu Beijun was silent for six days in a row, and when the snow melted and the ground was no longer muddy, he was ready to attack the Hanzhong army.

At dusk that day, Fang Shao took the battle plan he had drawn up before, crossed Dingjun Mountain and went to Liu Feng's camp on the northeast side of the mountain.

"Zhongzheng, why are you here? When my father gave the order to attack, I couldn't wait patiently. ”

As soon as Liu Feng saw Fang Shao, he shouted impatiently, this Liu Bei's righteous son is now a little stronger than when he was in Jingzhou, and his face is a little more heroic.

Fang Shao said with a smile: "The young general is a little anxious, Shao is here with the secret order of the lord's attack, and the young general can kill tonight." ”

When Liu Feng heard this, the whole person immediately became energetic, and he beat his fists and said excitedly: "Okay, I can finally kill it, I finally waited for me." Zhongzheng, you go back and tell your father, tell him that the old man can rest assured, I will not take down the enemy village tonight and swear not to give up! ”

Liu Feng's self-confidence did not come out of thin air, since following Liu Bei into Yizhou, Liu Feng with his brave and extraordinary force, led the army to pacify the disobedient people in Yizhou many times, and has made many meritorious contributions, and now has grown into a rare fierce general under Liu Bei's account, and his brave style has also been recognized by everyone.

Fang Shao knew that with Liu Feng's strength, he led 5,000 people to attack the eastern camp of the Hanzhong Army, which was less than 3,000 people, and of course it was no problem to defeat it, but this was not Liu Bei's purpose.

Fang Shao then said: "Young General, the lord sent me this time, in fact, he wanted me to assist the young general. Also, the purpose of the lord is to attract Zhang Wei from Xizhai to come to help, not really to break through the enemy camp, and the major general has to pay attention to the scale of the attack. ”

Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't let me sit still all day long, if that Zhang Wei comes, I will even kill him." ”

Liu Feng's self-confidence made Fang Shao feel a little uncomfortable, he only smiled reluctantly, and coped: "Yes, the young general is brave, naturally he can do it." ”

So, after getting Liu Bei's order, Liu Feng ordered the whole army to have a full meal, and after it was dark, when it came to the time agreed by Liu Bei, Fang Shao and Liu Feng led the whole battalion of 5,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to the east camp of the Hanzhong army more than ten miles away diagonally.

After approaching the enemy camp, Liu Feng ordered Fang Shao to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to the rear line, and he led four thousand elites alone, and killed the enemy camp without saying a word, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle began.

Facts have proved that the Hanzhong army is not a rice bucket that will be destroyed at once, although its east camp is not as dangerous as Yangping Pass, but it is built by the water, the arrow tower, the wooden fence, the antlers and the ditch are very carefully arranged, the Hanzhong army relied on these fortifications, stubbornly resisted the fierce offensive of the Yizhou army.

Fang Shao, who was watching the battle from afar, saw that Liu Fengjun failed to put a lot of pressure on the enemy, and pondered for a while, so he ordered his 1,000 soldiers and horses, each holding two torches, to run back and forth outside the enemy camp, and shout in unison at the same time, so as to create a kind of bluff of the army pressing the territory.

Fang Shao's move was really effective, the Hanzhong army that was resisting was already small, and the resistance to Liu Fengjun's attack was exhausted by 3,000 people, and now suddenly saw the fire outside the camp, and the shouts shook the sky, as if there were seven or eight thousand enemy troops attacking, seeing such a formation, the Hanzhong army's heart suddenly became empty.

On the battlefield, the slightest change in the morale of the army is fatal. Liu Feng deserves to be an excellent general, he keenly seized the opportunity of the weakening of the enemy's will to resist, personally cut a gap, and rushed into the enemy camp with the leading horses.

As soon as the left battalion was broken through, the Hanzhong army immediately collapsed, and the defenders abandoned their armor and abandoned their positions, and ran to the right camp in panic, while Liu Feng took advantage of the situation to capture the left battalion, and then led the troops to chase the right battalion.

When Fang Shao saw Liu Feng's great victory, he was first overjoyed in his heart, but when he saw that he still didn't see any good and accepted it, his face was shocked again, and he frowned and said to himself: "The left camp has been broken, and the enemy is already in danger, why hasn't he retreated." ”

At this moment, a scout galloped over, rolled the saddle and dismounted and reported to Fang Shao: "Report to the general, the enemy reinforcements from the western camp are already on their way. ”

Fang Shao asked urgently: "How many people are there?" ”

The scout said, "It's hard to see in the darkness of the night, but according to small estimates, there are at least four thousand. ”

"Four thousand, at least half of Xiying, well, Zhang Wei must have come in person this time."

After Fang Shao received this information, he pondered for a moment and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Over there, Liu Fengzheng was red-eyed, he had long forgotten the agreement with Fang Shao in advance, and was about to level the right camp when he suddenly heard that the golden gong outside the camp was a big work.

On the battlefield, Ming Jin collected the troops and marched into the army with drums, but it was not a law, and now Liu Bei governed the army strictly, even if it was Liu Feng, he did not dare to disobey.

Liu Feng, who was killing well, heard the order to withdraw his troops at this moment, and had to order the troops to retreat, and led thousands of bloody soldiers to withdraw from the enemy camp.

After seeing Fang Shao, Liu Feng wiped the blood on his face and shouted at Fang Shao: "I was about to completely defeat the enemy army, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops!" ”

Liu Feng's tone was quite unpolite, as if he was teaching his subordinates, you must know that Fang Shao is also in a high position now, and whoever sees him has to be polite, but now Liu Feng's attitude makes him quite unhappy.

The big thing is important, Fang Shao had to pretend to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "The enemy's reinforcements have been attracted, and our task has been completed, of course we have to withdraw our troops, hasn't the major general forgotten the strategy set before?" ”

"What a bullshit strategy, Lao Tzu is obviously about to win, even if the enemy's reinforcements arrive, Lao Tzu can swallow them all." Liu Feng was really stunned, and he actually spoke disrespectfully in front of so many people.

Fang Shao's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Young General, this strategy is set by the lord, is the young general's words a little too much." ”

Liu Feng's mood calmed down a little, and he also realized that what he said just now was a little rude, but it was not easy to admit that he was wrong, so he just snorted coldly and said, "Withdraw, let's withdraw, what's the big deal", and drove the horse past Fang Shao.

Looking at the figure that went away, Fang Shao secretly thought in his heart: "This person is brave and brave, but his surname is so arrogant, I am afraid that I will get into trouble sooner or later in the future." ”

When the sky was bright, Liu Feng's 5,000 men and horses withdrew to the camp, and at this time, Zhang Weiqin led 4,000 reinforcements to arrive in a hurry. He also thought that the enemy had learned of the arrival of his reinforcements and had retreated in fear, so he did not think too much about it, so he led his army to reoccupy the left camp and ordered the fortifications to be repaired as soon as possible.

Just when he didn't even take a breath of air, he suddenly rode to report that Liu Bei personally led the army to attack the west camp, and now he had set fire to the antlers outside the west camp.

"Oops! It turns out that I fell into Liu Bei's transfer of the tiger from the mountain, and the real purpose of this guy is to attack my western camp, and then attack Yangping Pass from behind. ”

Zhang Wei thought that he had suddenly woken up, so he ordered 1,000 soldiers and horses to strengthen the garrison of Dongzhai, and he led the exhausted 3,000 soldiers and horses to turn around and run back to Xizhai. Due to the tossing back and forth all night, Zhang Wei and this army of 3,000 people were tired enough, and when they passed in front of Dingjun Mountain, they had to slow down their march.

And at this moment, in the dense jungle on the top of the mountain, two pairs of eyes were staring at them.

"Old general, I don't know how long you are now?" Fa Zheng suddenly asked.

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment and replied, "The old man is eight out of sixty this year. ”

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Then did anyone say that the old general was an old man who was still standing in his seat and refused to let Xian?" ”

Huang Zhong frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "How can it not be, they are just some self-righteous people." ”

Fa Zheng's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, his sleeves flicked, pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and said proudly: "It seems that the old general is not yet convinced of the old, and now the first merit of conquering Hanzhong is at the bottom of the mountain, if the old general is not convinced of the old, please use your knife to prove it to those people!" ”
