Chapter 951: 500,000 troops leave Qinchuan (second update)

"Whoosh."

Just as Kou Feng looked expectantly, with a sharp whistling sound, a crossbow bolt the size of a spear flew out of the repeater bed.

In the blink of an eye, he was already approaching the target in front of him.

With a loud bang, a whole crossbow bolt actually pierced through the target and stared at the wall behind it.

Kou Feng's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint, this is really a murderous weapon. If you get close, even a soldier in high-class armor will be pierced.

Is this the so-called ten times more powerful than a repeater?

"Shiyuan, this Northern Expedition, Lonely Heart has a ninety percent chance of winning." Kou Feng turned his head with a smile and said to Pang Tong.

"In fact, this crossbow bed is not without weaknesses, it is really bulky and difficult to transport. Unless it is used to defend the city, it is difficult to put it to use. Unless, the enemy's cavalry, directly attacks our own army. Pang Tong said.

"Shi Yuan forgot. Anticipate the enemy's debate, win first and then fight. Therefore, there is no end to it, and all battles are won. The trump card in your hand is just one of them. The most important thing is the character and temper of the enemy general. And whether it is Ma Chao or Cao Hong, they are not the kind of calm characters, they are brave and extraordinary, but they are also rampage. So, they'll send it automatically. ”

Kou Feng said to Pang Tong with a smile.

"Ma Chao is strong-blooded, and Cao Hong is impatient." Pang Tong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded.

"Huh. What should be done, Lone has done. If you don't want to, take a good rest for two days, and then continue on the road the day after tomorrow. Kou Feng smiled, stretched out his arms, and said.

Immediately, Kou Feng let Pang Tong go down to do things, and he himself went back to the Taishou Mansion where he was temporarily staying to rest.

Two days later, in the hall of Nanzheng City, Taishou Mansion.

Kou Feng sat in the first place, and on the left was Pang Tong, the general of the left army, Fa Zheng, the leader of the army, Zhao Yun, the general of the town, Zhang Fei, the general of the town, Chen Da, the general of the town, the general Kou Shui, the general Wu Yi, and the general Yuan Yue.

On the right is Zhang Song in the service, Lu Su in the service, Yan Pu and so on.

Except for Yan Pu, who wanted to continue to guard Hanzhong and had enough troops and food in the rear, the rest of the people, including Zhang Song as a civil official, and Lu Su had to set off.

Kou Feng's expression was more solemn, and after glancing at everyone, he said: "There is official news from the north, Han Sui raised an army of 100,000 to join Ma Teng in Xianyang, and Cao Hong, who was in charge of guarding Tongguan, also raised 50,000 horse infantry troops to support. ”

This news is currently known only to Kou Feng and Yan Pu.

Therefore, when Kou Feng said it, the faces of the civil and military forces present changed slightly. However, in the end, it is also the elite of the Chu State, but his complexion has changed slightly, but he has not lost his temper.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation, it is no longer suitable for our hundreds of thousands of troops to pile up together and come out of Qinchuan from the Slope Valley. If you are targeted by the enemy's cavalry as soon as you go out, you will suffer heavy losses. The leading military law of the Central Army immediately admonished.

According to the plan, it was out of the valley and used a huge force to attack slowly and steadily. At the same time, they did not expect Cao Hong to participate in the exhibition directly, according to their calculations, Cao Hong should not participate in the war until after the war started.

"Filial piety is reasonable, and the troops must be divided." Pang Tong also nodded in agreement.

"Divide the troops?" Kou Feng's face showed a solemn expression, and he raised his head and said, "Come on, get the map." ”

With Kou Feng's order, several guards immediately walked in carrying a huge screen, on which a detailed map of Qinchuan was drawn.

The so-called Qinchuan was named after the Qin State during the Warring States Period. There are three ways to get out of Qinchuan from Shu and enter Yongliang. One is the sloping valley, the other is the meridian valley, and the other is the upper valley.

Among them, the Slope Valley and the Meridian Valley are roads that must pass through Hanzhong to walk. To the north, you can attack Yixian, Chang'an, and continue to attack Xianyang.

The upper valley is a direct attack on Jicheng, Longxi, and Jincheng.

The division of troops, of course, is not from the division of troops to the Meridian Valley. Instead, they divided their troops and went to the upper valley to directly attack Han Sui's old nest, Jincheng, and force Han Sui to come back to help.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the army of Kou Feng's headquarters.

However, Kou Feng still has doubts about which side is the main attack and which side is the feint attack. Or rather, both sides are the main attack.

"What do the generals and the leaders of the Central Army think, just say it?" Kou Feng said to Pang Tong and Fa Zheng.

"With cavalry supplemented by tens of thousands of foot soldiers, from Dingjun Mountain, through Wudu, under the debate, out of the upper valley, and then bypassing Jicheng, Longxi, Beiyuan, straight to Jincheng, forcing Han Sui to return to help." Pang Tong spoke, and when he said this, he paused, and then said: "And His Majesty personally led the army out of the Slope Valley and into the north. Attack Yixian, after capturing, stabilize the situation, strengthen the city wall, and then slowly advance. ”

"This is trying to use Zhao Yun's ability to cripple Han Sui?" Kou Feng heard the sound and only elegantly, his eyes lit up, and he said.

"Yes. If General Zhao Yun led 50,000 cavalry deep into the north to attack Jincheng, Han Sui would definitely lead 70,000 cavalry to come back to help. In this way, as long as our foot soldiers ambush on the road they must pass, they can use the power of the crossbow and the crossbow bed to cripple Han Sui. ”

Pang Tong nodded.

Feng Wenyan applauded. This method is good, those people in the north are all impulsive people, only Han Sui and Ma Teng are old foxes.

If they can defeat Han Sui first and deal with Ma Chao, it will be easier for Cao Hong and others.

"Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Chen Da listen to the order." After deciding on the direction of the march, Kou Feng ordered.

"The end will be." Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, and Chen Da immediately got up and came to Kou Feng and bowed down.

"Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun led the men and horses of the headquarters to attack in the way the general said. In addition, bring 1,500 repeater beds. Chen Da, you divide 5,000 companies of crossbowmen and Fa Zheng, and let them take them with them. ”

Kou Feng ordered.

Zheng, Zhao Yun, Chen Da took the order, and immediately turned around and walked out.

After the army was divided, Kou Feng fell into deep thought. Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun plus half of Chen Da's crossbowmen, is 105,000 Ma Bu Army.

With Fa Zheng as the main general and Zhao Yun as the fierce general, Kou Feng is not worried all the way. The question is the rest of the way.

In the rest of the road, there are 40,000 people from Pang Tong, 13,000 people from Chen Da, 20,000 people from Zhang Fei, and 20,000 troops from Deng Ai, who is currently leading his troops to sit in Dingjun Mountain, in addition to Yuan Yue's 40,000 troops.

It was 133,000 in all.

That Yuan Yue was one of the leaders of the three ethnic minorities when Kou Feng pacified Hanzhong. The three leaders were only saved by Yuan Yu's quick opportunity and quickly surrendered.

Kou Feng ordered him to lead 40,000 strong men of ethnic minorities and stationed them in Hanzhong. It's been more than a year now, but the combat effectiveness can only be said to be average.

Even the weapons, only half of them are Chu swords.

133,000 people can only be used as 120,000 people.

One hundred and twenty thousand. directly attacked Yixian, and then besieged Xianyang, the old nest of the Qin State. It's really challenging.

"The order went down, and ordered Deng Ai to raise an army of 20,000 troops from Dingjun Mountain, go out of the valley, and attack Yixian. The rest of the people followed the direction of Deng Ai with Gu, out of the sloping valley, and peeped at Yongliang. Kou Feng slowly stood up and ordered.

The general agreed.

Immediately, they all turned around and left. Soon after, more than 100,000 troops led by Kou Feng set off for Dingjun Mountain.

Dingjun Mountain.

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers. In history, Huang Zhong killed Cao Wei's general Xiahou Yuan here, and only then did Hanzhong be consolidated. Therefore, after Kou Feng obtained Hanzhong, he sent Deng Aizhen to guard Dingjun Mountain.

However, Kou Feng knew that Ma Teng, and it was unlikely that Han Sui would lead his troops south, and the main reason for letting Deng Aizhen defend Dingjun Mountain was to attack, that is, to open up the lower debate and Wudu.

Although there have been no large-scale wars in the eleven months since Kou Feng Xingba's accession to the throne on January 1 of the first year to November now, there have been no large-scale wars, but small wars have also continued.

Deng Ai also successfully won the lower defense, and Wudu expanded the territory of Chu.

About two months ago, after Deng Ai captured Wudu, he also settled in Junshan. To recuperate, waiting for the arrival of October in the first year of Xingba.

On this day, on the top of Dingjun Mountain. Deng Ai led some of his own soldiers to look at the north, and during these days, Deng Ai had to look at it almost every day.

Because he knew that Kou Feng's army left Shuzhong in October and entered Hanzhong. The day before yesterday, there was news that it had entered Nanzheng.

The day of leaving Qinchuan is not far off.

"The great husband has made great achievements, that is, in the present day." Deng Ai raised his head to the north, and secretly encouraged in his heart.

Deng Ai was silent and seemed cold and ruthless. But in fact, he is a man of temperament, and his heart is no less passionate than any other person. Back then, Kou Feng selected Deng Ai and cultivated Deng Ai for so many years.

Deng Ai has always been in the military and made contributions on the battlefield. On the one hand, it is to repay Kou Feng's kindness, and on the other hand, Deng Ai is also an arrogant figure.

Eager to make a contribution, it can be said that he was born to be a general.

"General, Your Majesty's edict has arrived. Order you to go out of Dingjun Mountain and go straight to the valley to attack Yixian. At that moment, a pro-soldier figure climbed up from below, dragging a piece of paper in his hand. Said to Deng Ai.

"Send troops." Deng Ai suddenly turned his head and said that he would send troops, and the momentum of the whole person immediately changed, becoming fierce and fierce.

The soldiers agreed, and surrounded Deng Ai and descended the Dingjun Mountain.

Soon after, Deng Ai personally led an army of 20,000 out of Dingjun Mountain and attacked Yixian County as a vanguard.

The first year of Xingba, November. Kou Feng took Deng Ai as the vanguard in Hanzhong and raised 133,000 soldiers. Claimed to be an army of 500,000. North out of Qinchuan.

On the other hand, Fa Zheng led Zhao Yun's cavalry and a part of the crossbow soldiers. A total of 105,000 troops went out of the upper valley and attacked the golden city.

The valley is not just a valley. There is also a road made up of plank roads. The full name of this road is the Sloping Valley Road. In history, Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, and the last one to attack Yongliang by this road was the last.

At this moment, Kou Feng Northern Expedition. Deng Ai, as the vanguard, led the army on this slope road.

On the slope valley road, Deng Ai, as a general, rode a horse in the center. Before and after, they were all elite soldiers of the Chu State.

"General, in a little while it will be the valley." Suddenly, a soldier came up from front and reported.

Ai nodded, and the blood in his heart rose, because out of the sloping valley, it was Yongliang.

That is, the cool land that the Chu State peeped into.
