Chapter 439: Pang United Front, Xu Shu
"Huhu", Wu Fei immediately Zhang Fei was a little out of breath, and his voice was hoarse, after all, he was no longer young and still suffered a little against the young Ma Chao, and he was scratched on the shoulder, and some of it might be directly stabbed in his throat!
Ma Chao was also a little tired, but he was much better than Zhang Fei, and he was in good spirits, shouting: "Come on!" Loud voice! Want to know why I'm a hussar general and you're just a former general? That's the gap!
I really don't know how your parents dared to raise you in terms of appearance, and how did they die? It can't be scared to death by you, right? Aha! In terms of martial arts, you are not my opponent! Is this what my father-in-law said about master loneliness? β
The rise of Ma Chao's killing, chattering about this Zhang Fei, he knew that he would definitely not be able to hold on, at most fifty moves, he could pick Zhang Fei, and three hundred moves were still a little bit short?
Zhang Yi's black face was flushed with anger, but personal honor and disgrace are small, national affairs, morale and military spirit are major matters, if he was directly cleaned up by Ma Chao, his original intention to come to the war would also develop in the opposite direction, Zhang Fei is not a person who is reckless to the extreme, he has a delicate mind; Therefore, "Ma Chao! You and I have already made 300 moves! Mounts are weak! I'm going back to the camp to change horses and fight for another 300 rounds! Do you dare? Zhang Fei shouted, a pair of leopard eyes kept turning, Ma Chao smiled proudly: "Why don't you dare!" Beat you to death! β
As soon as the words came out, Ma Chao felt that he was really stupid, Zhang Fei let himself be fooled, if he insisted on going up and fighting Zhang Fei for fifty or sixty rounds to destroy him, how simple it was, what nonsense! If this guy goes back, he may not be able to get out! If another one comes out
The words had already been spoken, and Ma Chao was also helpless, and drank: "Zhang Fei!" You, don't let someone else play for you! Hahaha", he also reacted quickly, and his voice was loud, he expected that after saying this, Zhang Fei would not dare to play himself, and sure enough, Zhang Fei didn't look good on his face, and rushed back to the formation; "Zilong! Lend me your jade lion! Come! Remove my armor! Zhang Fei shouted, and then drank a large amount of naan water, and the soldiers next to him quickly unloaded his armor and gave him a massage!
Zhao Yun frowned: "Three generals! If you continue like this, you will be consumed to death by Ma Chao sooner or later, so why don't you let me go? Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Yun deeply, and the calm on his face seemed to be another person, not at all the irascible personality of the past:
"Zilong! I know what you mean, and I know what I stand for in this battle, and what it means to lose, I know it! The eldest brother is dead, we failed to die on the same day, the same month and the same year, the reason why this is so is because although the eldest brother is dead, his will, his soul still exists, he is watching us, Shu is the blood of the eldest brother, I will guard it! β
"The general is mighty!" , Xu Shu is very admirable for his light salute, maybe Zhang Fei himself is irritable and has many shortcomings in drinking, but he is a good man who dares to act and cares about love and righteousness, especially at a critical juncture, he is the person who can bear it the most, Guan Yu is not as good as him, he is a very reliable person!
"Huh! When my Lao Zhang comes back, he will definitely drink three liters of wine! Zhang Fei smiled, picked up the Zhangba snake spear, stepped on the jade lion horse, and galloped out, Xu Shu shouted behind him: "When the general returns, I will definitely invite the general to drink!" β
"Hahaha", Zhang Fei smiled heroically, his upper body with the armor removed was still strong, like a marble block, shining in the sun, which made people praise - a good man!
On the other side, after Ma Chao returned to the camp, he also changed into a BMW, Cao Ren's mount, the wild horse newly brought from the Xiliang border was strong and powerful, with blue hair, Cao Ren liked it very much, although he was a little reluctant, but how could he refuse the strong enemy at present, and happily lent the horse to Ma Chao, ready to enjoy the next round of dragon fights; The battle continued, and the two people who had a lot of consumption were not as hard as they were at the beginning, and there was more of a skill entanglement between them, and the occasional collision was also fought hard with the help of the strength of the horse; Ma Chao found that it was really a mistake to let Zhang Fei go back to rest for a while, although Zhang Fei was much worse physically at this time, but he was mentally tougher than before, he couldn't kill Zhang Fei with a rod, as long as he launched a strong attack, Zhang Fei would definitely use a trick to play with him!
From Zhang Fei's battle, Ma Chao knew the gap between himself and Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu died, he should be the number one general in the world, but this world's number one general is not convincing enough! The two fought for more than 200 rounds, and the weather became darker, so they stopped and returned to camp; Ma Chao, who was so tired that his steps were vain, almost didn't sit on the ground after getting off the horse, but fortunately, there was someone beside him to help him, and even his hand holding the spear felt slightly uncomfortable, and he was a little numb; The same is true for Zhang Fei on the other side, he couldn't get off the horse, after being put down, the Zhangba snake spear in his hand couldn't be put down, he held it in his hand, and it took a long time to take it down, fortunately, there was such a thing in the army, otherwise he would have forcibly broken it, but I was afraid that Zhang Fei was not scrapped by Ma Chao, but was scrapped by his own people;
"I'm ashamed that I failed to make a contribution!" , Ma Chao was ashamed to plead, he was originally confident and determined to hit the morale of the Shu army, but now it seems that the Shu army has not been hit, but the morale has risen a lot, and Xia Meng Pass may be even more difficult to break; "Huh! Meng Qi doesn't need to be like this! Zhang Fei is a famous tiger general in time, you can suppress him is already very powerful, except for Lu Wenhou, I have never seen anyone with this bravery! What a sin! Cao Ren is the person with the highest military rank, and he is also the commander of this army and horse, so he has such a posture, he is the main general; Ma Chao is now a hussar general, but not the kind of hussar general that Lu Bu used to be, only one word difference represents two different meanings, the hussar general and the auxiliary general, the town army general, and the Weiguo general are in the same column, and it is also the highest military rank in Wei now, while the hussar general is only a little higher than the four Zheng generals, and the front, rear, left, and right four generals are in the same column; "Xia Meng Pass is the world's Xiongguan, and now there are Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun in the pass to support, and the hall is full of junjie, which is not easy to deal with! What do the military advisors think? Cao Ren looked at Pang Tong, who was wearing the sign of a former general, but what he did was a strategist who gave advice; Pang Tong looked at the simple map in his hand, which he had drawn by sending people to climb rocks and mountains in the past few days, especially when he found a path in it! Shaking the map, Pang Tong said: "There is a small road, the road is rugged and dangerous, so you can only send infantry troops to it, maybe you can directly attack Hanzhong, the danger is great!" β
"How sure are you?" , Gao Shun asked with a sideways look: "If you can try, I am willing to lead the army to go!" β
Pang Tong pouted: "It's not a percent!" If we can storm Xia Meng Pass, the chance of attracting attention can reach 30%! Hehe! Just kidding, it is not easy for our army to attack now, and if the losses are too great, they may not be able to make meritorious contributions, and the gains outweigh the losses! β
"What does the military advisor mean to hold onto? You know, we're an attacking force! Are we going to fight them, and they're defending this? Cao Ren was a little surprised; Why not? Now is indeed not the time for us to attack, the morale of the Shu army is booming, even if we are twice as strong as the enemy, it is not easy to attack the city, one is not good will be hit by the Shu army, we just need to wait patiently, the Shu army will definitely come to take the initiative to attack us! Pang Tong replied lightly; The military advisor is so confident? Cao Ren didn't understand how this ugly-looking guy could be so confident;" Hahaha", Pang Tong laughed, not angry at all: "I and that Xu Shu are brothers in the same sect, and we know each other very well, he will not be able to hold his breath!" Rest assured! Besides, the situation in the world has changed, and Xu Shu will soon understand!
When our army won the victory in Wu, it was the beginning of the destruction of Shu, and the army was pressed, on the one hand, against Hanzhong, on the other hand, against Ba County, Shu was overstretched, at that time, whether it was us here or Ba County, there will be a certain opportunity!
If he wants to transfer sergeants or make some moves, he will definitely plan to defeat us for a while, so that he can carry out another plan unharmed, to resist the threat of our army on the other side, which is mutual, and we will complete a switch of attack and defense; β
"Hiββ! Confused! Cao Ren muttered in a low voice, and then smiled: "Then do as you say!" Tell the ministries to pay attention to the sneak attack of the Shu army! β
As Pang Tong said, even if the state of Wu did not fall, just the fall of the Cheng Pu army aroused the vigilance of the state of Shu and began to send troops from all over the country to Ba County, and even the southern barbarian soldiers Meng Shu, King Mulu, and Wutu Gu were all requisitioned; Guan Yu was ordered to garrison Ba County, but Zhuge Liang considered that his temper would definitely not be able to regulate the barbarian soldiers well, so he discussed with Xu Shu, and first let more than 100,000 barbarian soldiers and horses go to Hanzhong first, fight with Cao Jun first, and then send Han soldiers to Ba County to garrison; Pang Tong miscalculated, and when he learned the news, he touched his nose with some embarrassment: "This is a miscalculation!" I forgot that there is also a Zhuge Kongming! β
With this replenishment, the total number of troops replenished by the Shu army has reached 200,000, which is a lot more than the Cao army, even if they are engaged in field battles, they will take advantage of it, especially the elephant cavalry brought by the King of Mulu, and the domesticated beasts are very scary! There are also vine armor soldiers brought by vulture bones, invulnerable!
When the two armies faced each other, these things were enough for Cao's army to be defeated! The trampling of elephant cavalry, once madness, is an invincible attack weapon, where has Cao Jun, who was born in the north, seen such a creature as an elephant? was frightened and lost its combat effectiveness, accompanied by the roar of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, there were not a few people who rushed to escape, even the so-called hardest shield, Gao Shun's trapped camp also appeared to be afraid of war; What's even more terrifying is the 30,000 vine armor soldiers brought by the vulture bones, invulnerable, they are just ordinary people wearing a suit of armor, which is not equivalent to an irresistible species like cavalry, they are almost invincible, but because of this, the morale of Cao Jun is more damaged!
Defeated in a battle, Cao Jun retreated to his old path, occupied a favorable position and adopted a defensive posture, for which Pang Tong could only repent of his crimes and underestimate the enemy!
"The Shu army has recently mobilized barbarian soldiers, invulnerable, and that behemoth, that's an elephant, right? Mr. said in the early years that this thing is almost invincible, and there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards around the world, and our soldiers dare not fight, heyββ! Cao Ren shook his head again and again, and the generals in the tent also sighed for a long time, at a loss;" Hahaha", Pang Tong laughed, Guo Jia once taught him that at a critical juncture, especially when the army is in mourning, as a strategist, it is his responsibility to motivate them, even if it can't be successful or unpredictable, it doesn't matter, the main thing is to let them raise their courage and have the courage to fight; Laughing three times first made them nervous and surprised, and then just say it according to the situation, this is a secret book, Pang Tong laughed because of Guo Jia's teaching, and sure enough, Cao Ren asked angrily: "Why is the military advisor laughing?" β
Pang Tong arched his hand: "I'm laughing, we seem to have a chance to capture Xia Meng Pass!" "Whatββ?" , everyone asked in unison; "I said we seem to have a chance to capture Xia Meng Pass! Pang Tong smiled! You think! Our army won the battle at the end of Jiangdong, eliminated Cheng Pu, completely isolated Sun Quan, and victory was imminent, why didn't the Shu army blockade Ba County? He didn't want to transport troops there for defense, but continued to send troops to Hanzhong, isn't this a bit abnormal? Pang Tong asked with interest; Yes! That's right! So for what? As if everyone suddenly realized, they asked; Pang Tong cleared his throat: "I think it should be a personnel arrangement, right?" There don't seem to be many people available in the Shu army! Guan yu! If they stick to Ba County, the best candidate is Guan Yu, but Guan Yu himself has great flaws; He is too arrogant, so he may not be able to adjust the affairs of the barbarians, Zhuge Liang is not at ease, so he decided to use the barbarian soldiers and horses to replace part of the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and then use those Han soldiers to top in the Bajun area, compared to Guan Yu, Xu Shu is much more powerful, he can connect these barbarian soldiers very well"
Pang Tong originally had nothing to say, so he said a word casually, but he opened the conversation box and couldn't hold it back: "The Shu army's attack is actually preparing for the withdrawal of the army!" That's why I say our chance has come! You must know that these barbarians are not easy to fiddle with, and their relationship with each other is not good! β
"Yes! Reasonable! Everyone nodded in unison, and spread their hands very tacitly: "Then how to deal with the elephant cavalry and rattan armor soldiers of the barbarians?" ", very neat and seems to have been rehearsed, some comedic effect, Pang Tong can't be laughed; couldn't help laughing, Pang Tong was still a little stumped, he had never seen elephant cavalry, and those invulnerable vine armor soldiers! I can't make up my mind in my heart: "This is only a shallow study, and I can't draw conclusions now, I need to know some information!" β
At the request of Pang Tong, Cao Jun was determined to go to war and sent a small group of men and horses to challenge, Gao Shun took over the task without giving up, but considering that the Shu army might send that invulnerable team, it was decided to let Ma Chao go ahead, and Gao Shun disguised himself as a small soldier and commanded in the trap camp; "Knock knock", the war drums are excited, Ma Chao took the lead in the challenge, saying that he wanted to fight, Xu Shu has also done a lot of homework in the past few days, to be honest, he has seen elephants, but he has never seen rattan armor soldiers, so he has studied a lot; Cao Jun's challenge, nothing more than to figure out why the vine armor soldiers are invulnerable, the vine armor soldiers are indeed the most suitable army to fight with the Cao army at present, if the elephant cavalry is too tall and difficult to control, once the enemy and I are crazy and other important defects are hindered by the extensive use of the elephant cavalry, the Mulu King is only fifty heads, this is already the limit!
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Shu decided to let the Fuji Armor Army fight, even if he doesn't fight at this time, there will be a day when he will fight in the future, and there will be a day when he will be touched to a weakness, it is better to let them know this weakness now, and then make other plans!
So, Zhao Yun, an old handsome guy, went into battle, he and Ma Chao were all puppets who were pushed out and put in front, and it was the vulture bone that really commanded the vine armor soldiers! Boy! What a big one-Han!
When Ma Chao saw the strong man in the crowd for the first time, he gasped, it is estimated that after this guy was born, Xu Chu didn't dare to claim that he was the best in the world, right? This guy is twelve feet long! You must know that Ma Chao is only eight feet five or six, which is already synonymous with extremely tall stature!
Even the commander-in-chief has this kind of thinking, how good can the soldiers be? The trapped camp has suffered its second disgrace since its formation! The first time was not so long ago! They were defeated! Looking at the fleeing soldiers, Gao Shun shouted: "Is this how you inherited the prestige of the trapped camp?" β
As the saying goes, the iron-clad battalion has a history of 30 years since its formation, and it has fought nearly 600 times since its formation, each time it is the first to charge, and the last to retreat, never said to be defeated, only to shed the last drop of blood!
However, with several major changes in the trapped camp, coupled with the long-term garrison in Tongguan, there are not many wars experienced, even if the trapped camp is better trained and better equipped, it is far inferior to the original Predators, they do not have a mortal heart!
In a rout, Gao Shun could forgive them, feeling that it was the rout of the whole army and they were affected, which was normal, but this time, he was only facing the Shu army with the same number as himself! They fled! Fear of war! Cowardice! How can he not be angry?
You must know that trapping the camp is almost the most trump card army that he has devoted his whole life to building, and in terms of the reputation of this army, it is even far superior to the white horse general Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, the halberd warrior of General Juyi, and the wolf rider of Lu Bu, even the tiger and leopard rider who has been guarding Xuchang is inferior to them!
"Only the soldiers who died in battle! A trapped camp warrior who didn't survive and stole his life! Trapped in the camp - fight to the death! Gao Shun raised his sword high, yelled hysterically, and rushed forward, facing the twelve-foot tall vulture bone, even if he was beating a drum in his heart, but he was firm in his faith! He'd rather die here than see the fall of the trapped camp!
"Gao Shun!" , Ma Chao saw Gao Shun rushing directly towards the huge man, and suddenly shouted, you must know that Gao Shun is also a general of Zhengxi now! Among the high-ranking generals of the Wei State, something happened to him, and it was a blow to the entire Cao army!
"And the mind to look at others! Take care of yourself! He's dead! Zhao Yun performed his own unique tricks, seven probe snake guns, as strange as a poisonous snake spitting letters, attacking Ma Chao's weakest place again and again, Ma Chao seemed to be out of his mind because of Gao Shun's changes, and faintly fell into the disadvantage, and was pressed and beaten by Zhao Yun!
When Gao Shun was so fierce and fearless of death, shouting that he was trapped in the camp and would not retreat, the soldiers in the camp were inspired, they were inspired by this momentum of not being afraid of death, and some people actually charged up with tears, they were still afraid of these rattan armor soldiers, but they were not as good as before!
Gao Shun almost rushed up with the determination to die, and the vulture bone also waved the mace in his hand to meet him, Gao Shun almost rushed up with the heart of death, but he did not lose his mind, although the strength of the vulture bone is the best in the world, but his martial arts, skills, and speed are too scummy!
Gao Shun easily dodged the heavy blow of the vulture bone, stepped forward and slashed it on his chest, cutting a big hole, blood flowed all over the ground, the vulture bone was furious, but he couldn't help Gao Shun's wounds gradually increased, this performance was shocking, although there were no glasses at that time; Even Ma Chao was about to drop his jaw in surprise, and looked at the gentle and elegant Zhao Yun: "You were lying to me just now?" β
The handsome guy Zhao smiled embarrassedly, and made a move first, and then said: "I don't know, it turns out that the size of the body really can't determine the level of martial arts!" Originally, when I saw him again, I thought he was the real number one in the world, but I didn't expect it! β
"Then I'll be at ease! Look at the guns! Ma Chao, who was relieved, got up, and the purple electric gun danced wildly, just like the dragon and snake flying, and like the surging river, endlessly, the two fought in one place, killing a group, and no one could help anyone; The soldiers trapped in the camp did not retreat, they were not afraid of death, they could not break through the armor of the rattan armor soldiers, so they cut off their legs, attacked the lower body without the protection of rattan armor, and also made full progress, some soldiers had already killed the barbarian soldiers and dragged them aside, unloaded their armor, and the strategic goal was achieved!
Although the strategic goal was achieved, Gao Shun didn't want to withdraw his troops so soon, he wanted to recondense the soul of the camp in this fight, so he fought for a long time, and more than half of the casualties were lost before withdrawing his troops, and the vine armor soldiers only suffered a hundred casualties!
Its vines are born in mountain streams and coiled on stone walls; The people of Ugo take it, soak it in oil, and take it out and dry it for half a year; Drying and soaking, where more than ten times, but only to cause armor. Worn on the body, crossing the river does not sink, the water is not wet, and the sword and arrow cannot enter: hence the name 'rattan armor army'. Not afraid of water, not afraid of gold, but not against fire.
The armor was brought back, but unfortunately no one knew what it was, but it was a fine work in the ambush of the Shu Kingdom, and when I heard about it, the Flying Eagle passed the news to Cao Jun, and the matter ended here, and the so-called spells and other other theories ended in Pang Tong burning the armor in front of everyone; "No matter how powerful the elephant cavalry is, there are only less than fifty heads, and this kind of thing is not easy to control, the speed is slow, once you go crazy, I don't distinguish between the enemy, and besides, the beasts are afraid of fire, we can fight against the Shu army at night! Everyone knows a little bit about the weakness of the vine armor soldiers! Let the soldiers fight them with torches in one hand and knives in the other," said Pang Tong in the tent; "Makes sense!" , Everyone nodded in agreement, and thought so, so they ordered more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to challenge late at night, Cao Jun is good at night fighting, this is not blown!
And Xu Shu on the other side snickered for a long time when he saw Cao Jun coming to challenge, the flammable characteristics of the rattan armor of the rattan armor were deliberately leaked by him, and he naturally had a natural way to deal with it, this way is very simple!
He ordered each rattan armor soldier to put a thick cloth coat on his body and pour water, so that Cao Jun's design fell through, and the two sides fought again, and Cao Jun, who was happy in his heart with a torch in his hand, was given a head kick and ignited the rattan armor soldiers? This idea is considered to have failed, and people are still dripping with water! How can you be afraid of this?
Looking at Cao Jun, who was killed crying for his father and mother, Pang Tong's face also turned blue, he still underestimated Xu Shu's ability, there are many people who are good at internal affairs in Lumenxue, and there are not a few who are good at chanting poetry, but there are only two people who are good at military strategy!
One is himself, and the other is Xu Shu on the other side, even Zhuge Liang is a little worse than them, of course, Zhuge Liang far surpasses them in political affairs, people's livelihood and other internal affairs methods; How to deal with Xu Shu has become a top priority!
The first, second, and third defeats Cao Jun have already lost three games in a row, and they are still like attacking troops there? Where are they attacking the Shu army? Now they have become the beaten side! This kind of conversion makes Cao Jun a little unbearable!
"Morale! Morale! What we need now is a morale boost! Defeat those damn vine armor soldiers! Damn", Cao Ren was already roaring angrily in the big tent: "I have already sent a book to the teacher to ask for advice!" I hope the teacher is well-informed and can show us a clear way! β
The battle has been fought like this, Cao Ren no longer trusts Pang Tong, if it weren't for Pang Tong's extensive meritoriousness, he would have scolded him a long time ago, what phoenix? Bragging, right? was played by his fellow disciples, and he couldn't find the north!
Pang Tongyi was silent when he heard Cao Ren say this, and only after a long time did he say: "Maybe Mr. will have a good plan to teach us!" But please give me a chance! β
Pang Tong looked at everyone sincerely, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists, and said sincerely: "Even if I am a shallow learner, because of my strategy and judgment mistakes, I lost three games in a row, which damaged morale and damaged the morale of the army!" But I'm not reconciled!
The sage also said that people are not saints and sages, and the teachings of soldiers also have words, not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, as long as everyone still has the heart to win, then you can defeat all enemies! Give me a chance! β
Coincidentally, Li Yu's reply letter also came at this time, and there were only a few sentences on it, conveying two meanings, first, Pang Tong, yes, there is a good talent in the world, there is no need for such a talent, why bother to seek the near and far? I'm already old, and the future of Wei still depends on him, so I should sharpen him!
Second, what do you generals do to eat, and you can't even control the soldiers on the battlefield? How many years has it been since the rout of Cao's army and the rout on the frontal battlefield has not happened?
Everyone was scolded, and Cao Ren was a little embarrassed to help Pang Tong: "It seems that it depends on you!" Mr. Wilder has a lot of confidence in you! β
Pang Tong was moved to salute from afar, and then bowed to the generals to express his gratitude, and then said: "The reason why our soldiers are afraid of fighting now is because of the rattan armor soldiers, and the top priority is to find a way to destroy this army!" β
"Ahem", a rapid cough, Zhenxi General Duan Xuan shrugged his shoulders hurriedly, and coughed up two tears in his cloudy eyes, he was already old, in his fifties and going straight to sixty years old, he didn't seem to have left the Tongguan area since he surrendered to Cao Cao; This old general is like a silent stone, silently holding on to the west of the Wei State, the old general has been silent, today he laughed surprisingly, and encouraged Pang Tong: "Do a good job!" You showed me the temperament of Mr. Wilder when I was young! Hehe! I've always been planning to go to the capital for retirement! I might need you to help me with this dream! β
Pang Tong was stunned, and then a smile bloomed on a not handsome face: "Leave it to me!" β
"Report ββ! The Cao army came to challenge, and the whole army came out", the Shu army scouts came late at night to report, and the Shu army suddenly jumped up and down, but these people began to prepare in a hurry, why? In their opinion, Cao Jun is sending them victory and credit!
"Cao Jun fought fourteen consecutive battles with us in five or six days, plus the previous three, a full seventeen games! Don't you give up? Xu Shu muttered to himself, always feeling that Cao Jun's behavior was a little weird, but he thought that as long as he restrained the soldiers from going deep alone, it would be fine
The Shu army gathered its troops and horses to prepare for the destruction of the Cao army in one fell swoop, and the Cao army sent tens of thousands of people to challenge each war in the past, this time it was a little unscientific!
"Hahaha Hama Super! How dare you come! Watch your grandfather teach you a lesson! The successive victories made the Shu army jubilant, who would have thought that a vine armor army could be so powerful? Who would have thought that the barbarians they had always looked down on would be so capable?
In the face of Zhang Fei's provocation, Ma Chao snorted coldly: "If you hadn't cheated, I would have beheaded you a long time ago, and you still keep your tongue to be rampant with me here?" β
"Knock knock", the corps combat is different from the battlefield heads-up, Ma Chao did not deliberately find Zhang Fei to do a fight, but commanded the cavalry to carry out the impact of the two wings, on the frontal battlefield, Pang Tong and Gao Shun stood side by side, nodded to Gao Shun; Gao Shun shouted: "Beat the drum and attack!" β
"Drink, drink, drink", Cao Jun walked with neat steps, approached forward, and lost seventeen games in a row, which may be the most humiliating history in the history of Cao Jun's army building, so Cao Jun felt humiliated and held his breath in his heart; Pang Tong's words to motivate them are also very interesting, if you lose seventeen games in a row, it is the shame of the Cao army, then you don't dare to fight because of this, or you will continue to lose because of this, it will be the greatest shame of the Cao army, on the contrary, if we win! We can say that it was a trick of the suspicious soldiers, a ploy to tempt the enemy! You will not be disgraced by this, but you will be praised for your perseverance!
Cao Jun was greatly encouraged, because the morale of even the defeated battles actually increased little by little with the defeat, which was a little weird!
"Elephant cavalry! Charge! King Mulu shouted, fifty elephants, every step was like a war drum, the huge war elephant chariot ran over, Cao Jun was a little flustered, Gao Shun adjusted in time to calm them down; Chop your feet! Scattered! Gao Shun gave a simple order, and Cao Jun stabbed the elephant's leg with a war knife and spear, making them go crazy in pain, and the Cao army in front of the elephant cavalry quickly dispersed, these elephant cavalry were not group charges, but scattered, and it was easier to dodge; After going berserk, they kept rushing far, far away, and the people on their bodies were all jolted down, and they couldn't control them at all, so why not turn around and continue to charge? Don't look at these two actions are very simple, Cao Jun also carried out special simulation training, using a car nailed of wood for simulation; The threat of the elephant cavalry dissipated, and it was the vine armor army that was waiting, and the vine armor army was still covered with a wet cloth and could not use their only weakness to carry out fire attacks, but Pang Tong took another way and secretly built another army; He made the soldiers in the camp put on heavy armor, covered themselves with white cloth, put on grimace masks, and rushed into the troops of the vine armor army with wolf crying and howling!
The hideous grimace mask, the voice of the ghost crying wolf, the barbarians have always believed in ghosts and gods, so they were frightened a lot, and some brave people slashed them, but the heavily armored trap camp was also invulnerable; The Fuji Armor Army is flustered! They are invulnerable because of the rattan armor on their bodies, and what is going on with these people? Are they also invulnerable? The barbarians were frightened, wah-wow-wow-wow, the Shu army's formation was in chaos, and they were killed for a while!
The Cao army then rushed to kill, until the Xia Meng Pass, was repulsed, this battle, greatly boosted the morale of the Cao army, broke the legend of the undefeated vine armor army, and captured the barbarian elephant cavalry! Finally moved back for a while;
In the following days, the Shu army and the Cao army continued to be in a state of confrontation, and neither side could help but the other was in a stalemate for a long time, and the Jiangdong war situation on the other side was also tepid, until Sun Quan and others realized the intentions of the Cao army; Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, LΓΌ Bin, and Xu Rong formed the Bagua Array's Eight Gate Guards, Cao Hong was responsible for the supply of grain and grass, escorting grain and grass, and Zang Ba was acting as a ranger, leading the rangers to attack wherever there was danger; Cao army used 20,000 people to guard each gate, and every night they took earth and stones to build a wall, first built a wall on the periphery, and then built an earthen wall, four zhang wide, intending to block the city gate, so that they could only follow the narrow earthen wall when attacking, and the Cao army only needed archers to repel them!
Once this strategic intention is realized, it will be almost impossible for Lingyang City to be breached!
Lu Xun: "The people in the city are panicking, and the Cao army outside the city has such intentions, our army is in danger and needs to take the initiative to attack!" β
Every day, Sima Yi would order the soldiers to shoot some letters with letters into Lingyang City, and he would also order Cao Jun's catapults to attack, but there were only a few boulders, but they had already made the ordinary people in the city frightened and unable to eat, especially when they were stoned to death, it was too scary!
All this is a tactical routine designed by Sima Yi according to people's psychology, if Sun Quan forcibly collects those letters, the people will be resentful, and in the long run, he will be betrayed by the enemy, and the people will oppose him, and he will have no way to live; But if he didn't collect those letters, in the long run, the people in the city would be bewitched, they were frightened by Cao Jun's position and thought that there was no way to live, and when they saw the way to live, they would do whatever it took to rebel against Sun Quan!
No matter what he did, Sun Quan was extremely embarrassed; Sima Yi is forcing him to choose one of the two! This is the difficulty of holding Lingyang City this time, the reason why Li Yu was able to hold on to Nanjun City for two months was because there was enough food and grass and the soldiers had something to eat; The second reason is because there is only Cao Jun in the city, and there are no other people! Even if there is not a dog, only one force will naturally twist into a rope!
Cao Jun's way of constantly persuading him to surrender also made the people in the city see hope, even if Sun Quan asked people to spread the news that Cao Jun would slaughter the city when they entered the city, he couldn't get these people to help him, and he was in a predicament!
"Take the initiative?" , Sun Quan groaned, looking at Lu Su and Lu Meng beside him: "What do you think?" β
Lu Su nodded: "Don't attack, when the earthen wall of the Cao army is built to the city gate, we will be finished if we want to attack again!" Now we are mainly destroying the earthen wall, and we may be caught in the trap by attacking, but we have no choice! β
Lu Meng also nodded, and Lu Xun arched his hand: "Maybe our cavalry can come in handy!" β
Cavalry? Yes, Lu Xun's long-trained cavalry! There are not many people, only about 20,000 people, but the cavalry of 20,000 people has spent countless forces of the Wu State to build!
The horses were almost exchanged for the lives of 200,000 soldiers of the Wu army, and they also caught a big governor Zhou Yu, which is expensive enough! These 20,000 horses are the conditions for Wu to send troops to help Shu, and the things that are advanced are not easy to come by!
"It's good! It's better than sitting still, right? Sun Quan frowned: "The people in the city are not in line with us, send out a part, let the cavalry ambush behind them, and rush out"
"No!" , Lu Su waved his hand again and again: "There are also many local people among the soldiers, this is forcing them to rebel!" β
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work! Let's see! The psychological pressure of the past few days finally made Sun Quan explode, throw down a sentence and turn away, he has collapsed! Cao Jun's psychological offensive is very powerful!
