The 60th Battle of Eastern Wu and Southern Han Dynasty Drove Cao Wei to the Central Plains Unification (10)
Zhang He watched Cao Jun go and return several times, and also felt that something was wrong. If it was in the past, Zhang He would have been on guard for a long time. However, since the cross-sea landing, the Southern Han army has been like a bamboo, and Qingzhou and Xuzhou have changed hands successively, which makes Zhang He somewhat underestimated. At this time, when he heard what Zhang Yiyi said, he felt that it was reasonable, and ordered the soldiers to temporarily prepare food for the army.
The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty wanted to fetch water and make rice, but suddenly there was a loud shout from all sides, the drums and horns rang in unison, and the Cao soldiers came all over the mountains. At the opening of the door flag, a horse flashed out, and Sima Yi sat on it and said loudly: "Where is Gan Xingba?" β
Zhang Heyao was secretly happy when he saw Sima Yi, although his own soldiers were tired, it seemed that he had fallen into Sima Yi's plan to lure the enemy, but if Lu Su was the internal response, it was not impossible to capture and kill Sima Yi. Zhang He looked back left and right and said: "If Cao's soldiers cover up, the whole army will retreat." If you see a fire behind the mountain, you will turn around and kill, and your own soldiers will come to the rescue. β
After the order was completed, Zhang He jumped on his horse and said: "What is the use of General Gan to fight with you?" It's enough to have me! β
Sima Yi smiled: "The nameless general An dares to speak up? Quickly call Gan Ning to answer. β
Zhang He scolded: "Sima Pifu, if you want to see General Gan defeat me first, I will talk about it." β
Sima Yi was furious when he heard this, waved his sword and pointed at it, Cao Chun on the left and Cao Zhen on the right, and the two soldiers and horses rushed out. The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty did not fight when they received the order of General Zhang He, and retreated when they saw the soldiers.
Zhang He led the troops back less than thirty miles, and then he saw the fire behind Cao Bing, shouting endlessly. Zhang He thought it was Lu Su's fire, so he turned around and killed, and Cao soldiers retreated. Zhang He, Zhang Ren, Zhang Yan, and Zang Ba saw Cao Bing retreating, and their hearts were reckless, so they chased after the shouting place.
The four generals rushed forward to kill the firelight, and suddenly the drums and horns in the mountain road were noisy, and the shouts shook the ground, and the two armies were killed, with Han Dang on the left and Zu Mao on the right. Arrows and rocks rained down on the mountain. The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty were already sleepy and tired, and they fled for a while and chased for a while, but they were even more physically exhausted, and they were defeated at that time.
Zhang He knew that it was a plan, and retreated to the valley, and the soldiers and horses were tired. At this time, the shouting behind the back and the killing rose again, Cao Zhang led the fresh army to come, the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty trampled on each other, and the number of dead people who fell into the stream is unknown. Fortunately, the four generals of Zhang He were brave, and it was not easy for the Wei and Wu armies to capture and kill, and they were broken through by the four generals.
The three generals Cao Zhang, Han Dang, and Zu Mao were not anxious to see the Southern Han men and horses breaking through, but they only covered up and killed later. General Zhang Hesi led his troops to flee to the mountain pass, but was blocked by a Biao army and horses, and the leader was Lu Su.
Zhang He saw Lu Su and scolded: "The anti-thief has no faith!" He deceived me with treachery! β
Lu Su smiled: "I want to capture Gan Ning and Tai Shici, I don't want to capture you by mistake." Dismount quickly and surrender, and I will spare you from death! β
Zhang He knew that Lu Su was a civil official, so he couldn't help but scold: "What skills do you have to capture me?" "Let's talk about the horses and guns to fight Lusu.
Without waiting for Zhang Hema to come closer, Lu Su killed the two generals behind him, which were Cao Chun and Cao Zhen. These two people are not Zhang He's opponents, but at this time, they will not fall behind for a while.
Seeing this, Zhang Ren scolded: "What is the skill of bullying more and less, and eat me with a shot." After that, he had to step forward to help Zhang He.
Zang Ba and Zhang Yan saw that Zhang Ren wanted to step forward to help in the battle, so they also wanted to fight and step forward, wanting Cao Chun and Cao Zhen to also taste the taste of being one against two. But before the three generals could come out, suddenly the rear army was in chaos, and the three generals Cao Zhang, Han Dang, and Zu Mao led the troops to cover up.
Zhang He's opponent of the second general will not fall behind, and he can still see the six roads. At this time, when he saw the chaos of the rear army, he shouted loudly: "You wait to fight the enemy behind you as soon as possible, I am enough here!" β
General Zhang Rensan listened to Zhang He's orders and turned around to fight with General Cao Zhangsan behind him. The martial arts of these six generals are not far apart, and they are indistinguishable for a while.
Lu Su couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the four generals of the Southern Han Dynasty were so powerful in the military formation. The most famous generals under Nan Ye's command are Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong and others, and these generals are widely known for following Nan Ye to fight in all directions. As for the reputation of the two admirals, Gan Ning and Tai Shici, it is not too loud. Zhang He, Zang Ba and others will be responsible for guarding one side, and they are not as well-known as Gan Ning and Tai Shici. Because of this, Lu Su didn't take the four generals in his eyes at all, but Zhang He's four generals were against the five generals of Dongwu and Cao Wei at this time, how could Lu Su not be surprised?
Lu Su knew that he had underestimated Zhang He's four generals, so he waved the order flag and ordered the soldiers to rush up. In Lu Su's view, no matter how powerful General Zhang Hesi is, he is not an opponent of thousands of troops.
The Cao army and the Wu army were ordered to go out together and fight with the Southern Han soldiers. Although the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty were well-equipped and well-trained, they were sleepy and lacking in numbers, and their numbers were not as good as those of Cao and Wu, and they were defeated and retreated for a while. Zhang Hesi will be surrounded by the army, and defeat is only a matter of time.
Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the person who came is not Gan Ning and Tai Shici. β
Sima Yi, listening to Lu Su's words in the battle, couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the big plan is useless. β
Seeing that his soldiers and horses were getting fewer and fewer, General Zhang Hesi couldn't help but be anxious. At this time, the shouting of killing behind Cao Jun suddenly started, and Tai Shi Ci jumped into the encirclement with a spear and said loudly: "Donglai Tai Shi Ci is here, who dares to fight with me?" β
It turned out that after Zhang He's four generals led the troops away, Lu Xun was worried that the four of them would be tricked, so he waved his troops with Gan Ning and Tai Shici to follow. When he heard the shouts of killing in front of him, he led the troops to meet him.
Sima Yi and Lu Su didn't expect the Southern Han soldiers and horses to come so quickly, and the encirclement was torn open by Tai Shici at once. General Zhang Hesi took the opportunity to break out of the siege and joined forces with Gan Ning and Tai Shici to fight against the Cao and Wu armies.
Although Gan Ning and Tai Shici had the courage of ten thousand people, but Cao had a large number of soldiers, and Cao General did not step forward to fight alone, Gan Ning and Tai Shici could not win for a while, so they could only wave their troops to fight with Cao and Wu's armies.
Just as the two armies were at a stalemate, the shouts of killing on the mountain road began again. At this time, not only Gan Ning and Tai Shici were taken aback, but Sima Yi and Lu Su were also taken aback, because neither side knew where this Biao man came from.
The two warring sides were not sure who the soldiers and horses were, so they unanimously reined in the soldiers and waited for them. When the soldiers and horses arrived, everyone saw that the people were waving the banner of Soochow, and the word "Lu" was written on the handsome flag.
However, it was said that after the defeat of LΓΌ Meng and Yuzhou, he retreated to Xuchang and held Huang Zhong against each other, and won and lost each other. Due to the siege of Xuchang, the news that Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yangzhou were obtained by Nanye did not reach the city. Lu Meng couldn't get this information, but Huang Zhong could get it. So Jia Xu used a plan to enter the city with an archery book, and the book said about the defeat of the Eastern Wu army.
The Wu army in Xuchang City learned that Sun Quan's army had been defeated and Jianye had been lost, and morale plummeted at that time. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan killed the head of the city in one go and attacked Xuchang.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, LΓΌ Meng left without defeat and retreated in the direction of Yanzhou. Today coincided with the battle between the two armies, so they came to help Lu Su and Sima Yi break the enemy.
Sima Yi and Lu Su were overjoyed when they saw that it was their soldiers and horses, and they went to war again. Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci didn't know that Lu Meng was only leading a defeated army, and thought that it was the new force of Eastern Wu that had arrived, so they simply retreated in defeat.
When the Cao and Wu armies saw that the soldiers and horses of LΓΌ Meng were defeated as soon as they arrived in the Southern Han Dynasty, their morale was immediately high, and they rushed forward to chase and kill. Lu Meng stopped Lu Su and asked, "I heard in Xuchang that Jianye has been lost, but is there such a thing?" β
Lu Su nodded and said, "This is indeed the case!" It's just that it wasn't Nan Ye who broke through the city, but His Majesty wanted to retreat to Yanzhou and abandon the city. β
Lu Mengqi said: "Why is this? β
Of course, Lu Su couldn't say that Sun Quan withdrew his troops in front of Lu Meng because he was worried that Xuzhou and Yuzhou would be lost, and Yangzhou would become a Jedi, but now it seems that Lu Meng really failed to hold Yuzhou as Sima Yi expected. Since he couldn't answer positively, Lu Su shirked and said: "This matter is a long story, I will wait and win Gan Ning and Tai Shici first, and we will discuss it later." β
Hearing this, Lu Meng shook his head and said: "Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses are not far from here, if the back road is cut off, our army will be in danger!" This battle is already a big victory, and it is better to withdraw the troops. "Lu Meng still hasn't said one thing, that is, his soldiers and horses have long been unable to fight anymore after fleeing all the way.
When Lu Su heard this, he didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he consulted with Sima Yi. Sima Yi learned that there were still pursuers behind LΓΌ Meng, so he ordered the army to be collected and the battlefield to be cleaned up.
Gan Ning and Tai Shici looked back at Cao Bing and didn't pursue, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't expect Sima Yi to be so powerful, and he even arranged for Lu Meng to ambush all the way. More than half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost in this battle, and it may be extremely difficult to take Yanzhou again.
The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty have not tasted defeat since the battle, and today they were defeated by Sima Yi, and they were very disappointed one by one. As the army was moving forward, they saw smoke and dust rising in front of them, and another group of men and horses were coming, which surprised the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty. When I got closer, I found that it was my own horse, and the word "yellow" was written on the handsome flag.
Huang Zhongnai pursued Lu Meng here, not wanting to meet Gan Ning and Tai Shici. So he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xingba, Ziyi, why are you here?" β
Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci were also stunned when they saw Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning stepped forward and said: "I waited for the right time to fight with Sima Yi and Lu Su, but Lu Meng suddenly led his troops to kill, and I waited for this to be defeated and left." Why did General Hansheng get here? β
Huang Zhong slapped his forehead and said, "I am chasing Lu Meng here." Yuzhou has been acquired by me, so I came to attack Yanzhou. β
Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were unable to compete with Sima Yi's army after losing their troops, but now Huang Zhong just took advantage of the urgent need when he arrived. The three soldiers and horses were in one place, and there were 100,000 people.
When the army had been encamped, the generals would gather together to discuss the march. Tai Shi Ci said: "Three of the soldiers and horses from the five routes have arrived here, only the national teacher and Meng Qi have not arrived." The national teacher has already established a business, presumably not far from here, but I don't know why Meng Qi didn't come. If we can join forces in five ways, Sima Yi is definitely not our opponent. β
Jia Xu said: "Bingzhou is the land of Wu and Wei, General Meng Qi first retreats from the Wu army and then attacks the Wei army, it is also common sense that it takes a lot of time, and it will arrive sooner or later, so there is no need to worry." β
Huang Zhong said: "In this case, we can wait for the two soldiers to work together to break the enemy." β
Gan Ning was defeated for a while, and he was unconvinced, so he said: "If you wait for the national division and soldiers to arrive, how can you show our skills?" Why don't we use a plan to break the enemy and seize Yanzhou and fight for the first success? β
Tai Shi Ci was also very moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the military advisor Lu Xun. Lu Xun shook his head and said: "Although the national teacher said that it was the first credit to win Yanzhou, I didn't know that Sima Yi would lead the troops here. Now Sima Yi, Lu Su, and Lu Meng's combined forces cannot be underestimated, but I have a plan to make a great contribution, and if I get this merit, it is better than the merit of Yanzhou. β
