Wei Yan's purpose in this attack was never to kill people, he knew very well what kind of opponent he was facing, the 20,000 Cao Wei Central Forbidden Army was undoubtedly the elite, even if it was attacked, as long as they were given a little time to react, they would be able to stabilize their positions and gradually reverse their disadvantage. The Wei family's military pawns are very strong, even in the face of these Cao Wei's elites, they have the strength to fight, and they may win, but killing will also make him unbearable.

Cao Wei's casualties of 5,000 people, even if they were elites, they could be replenished in a very short time, but if the Wei family killed 500 people, it would be an unbearable loss.

So attacking Pucheng, Wei Yan's selected targets were the weakest battalions and baggage battalions of the Hedong county soldiers, those county soldiers were not his opponents at all, they were killed by him, and the rout also impacted the reinforcements who came to the rescue, giving Wei Yan more time, allowing him to calmly ignite the grain and grass that the Wei army had just delivered, and then retreated.

This time he attacked Zhang Yangchi, his purpose was not to kill people, his purpose was to burn the boat, and burn the boat that Cao Zhen had spent half a month collecting.

The Wei family soldiers were divided into four teams and attacked from different directions, taking the Wei army by surprise. Before they could react, they rushed into the water village and boarded the large and small boats moored in Zhangyang Pond.

Most of the forbidden troops of the Wei army were northerners, they were used to riding horses, not used to boats, and no one wanted to sleep on rickety boats, so there were almost no people in the water village, and in the face of the Wei family soldiers who were like fierce tigers, they had no power to fight back at all. In the blink of an eye, the water village fell into the hands of Wei Yan, and most of Wei Yan's subordinates were Jingxiang people, who were very familiar with the boat, and stepped on the rickety boat, which gave them a sense of security than stepping on solid ground.

The Wei family soldiers were like a flood, overflowing from the Wei army camp on the shore. Quickly occupy the water village. In accordance with Wei Yan's previous orders, they did not hesitate to smash the small boat on the shore or set it on fire. Some simply overturned the boat and slashed at the bottom of the boat. When the Wei soldiers came to their senses, they faced an enemy who was not very far away, and they had tens of thousands of elites. He could only look at the water and sigh, shoot with a bow and arrow, and could not go into the water to pursue.

After the Wei army's water village wreaked havoc. Wei Yan ordered the water village to be opened, raised the sails, and drove more than 200 undamaged fast boats towards the Yellow River.

Xiao Feng, who was immortal, rushed to the edge of Zhangyang Pond with the support of his personal guards, and looked at the enemy who sailed away, and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out. Not far downstream of Zhangyangchi is the camp of the great general Cao Zhen, and the other party is driving the boat in the direction of the general's camp, could it be that the general has no ability to intercept him?

In an instant, Xiao Feng thought a lot. However, he still sent someone to inform Cao Zhen that Zhang Yangchi's ship had been destroyed and that the enemy was advancing in the direction of Pucheng, and asked the general to be ready to intercept it.

However, Xiao Feng thought too much, no matter how conceited Wei Yan was, he would not drive these ships to Pucheng and face the angry Cao Zhen. He knew very well that no matter how fast the ship was, it would not be faster than the war horse. Cao Zhen had enough time to intercept on the river. The purpose of his robbery was only to cross the water, and by the way, to destroy the boats.

Less than ten miles away from Zhangyangchi, Wei Yan ordered to go ashore, smashed all the ships to pieces, and quickly moved to the south of the Zhongtiao Mountains, where he disappeared into the reckless mountains before the pursuers arrived.

……

After dawn, Cao Zhen immediately sent a large number of scouts to search for Wei Yan's whereabouts, and when he learned that Wei Yan did not flee south across the water as he expected, but went east, he immediately knew that he had underestimated Wei Yan's ambitions. He immediately sent people to reinforce Zhang Yangchi, but before anyone could send out, the military report from the direction of Zhang Yangchi came.

Cao Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, he knew that this time he would meet the most difficult opponent in his life, and he would also usher in the biggest defeat in his life. With a surprise army of less than 5,000 men, Wei Yan not only attacked his camp, but also attacked Zhangyangchi in two hours, burning hundreds of ships and ships he had painstakingly collected under the noses of 10,000 troops.

Cao Zhen's face was pale, his throat and eyes were itchy for a while, and he was a little sweet, but he didn't say anything, just calmly ordered to send cavalry to search along the river, and gathered all the cavalry, and rushed to the east bank of the Yellow River near Tongguan, and at the same time urgently ordered Zhang He to march westward, sending cavalry to assist in searching for Wei Yan's traces. Wei Yan dared to come to Hedong to make a sneak attack, but he may not dare to stay in Hedong for a long time, he must return to Tongguan, and if he wants to return to Tongguan, he must cross the river. As long as he moves fast enough, he can stop Wei Yan in the east of the river, and at that time, Wei Yan will be unable to fly.

Cao Zhen's idea was correct, but he didn't have enough time. Wei Yan knows his situation too well, the strategic goal has been completed, stay in Hedong for a few more moments, the danger will increase by one point, the slightest mistake, Cao Zhen and Zhang He will block him in Hedong, even if he can hide in the mountains, without food supplements, he will be starved to death in a few days. Therefore, he did not stop for a moment, and ordered all unnecessary baggage to be thrown away, and the soldiers with poor physical strength even threw away their armor and ran as fast as they could.

The Wei family soldiers are veritable elites, even after a night of long-distance running, they still show extremely strong fighting qualities, and the elite of those county soldiers are dwarfed, they have to throw away their armor and even weapons, and travel lightly to barely keep up with the pace of the fully armed Wei family soldiers.

Wei Yan's decision was very decisive, and as soon as he arrived at the river, he saw the scouts sent by Cao Zhen. The scouts saw Wei Yan, but they couldn't stop Wei Yan, they could only send the news back as quickly as possible, and notify the cavalry behind to come and intercept it. Seeing the scouts of the Wei army, Wei Yan did not dare to slack off, he set up a defensive position against the river on the one hand, and sent a message to the other side on the other.

After receiving the scout's report, the Wei army's elite cavalry immediately let go of the reins and galloped along the river. It's just that they finally came in time, and when they arrived at the river, Wei Yan had already led a group of soldiers to get on the boat. In the face of the rain of arrows shot by the furious Wei army, all the soldiers, whether they participated in the battle or rushed to respond, couldn't help but raise their voices. They tapped their swords against their shields or boat gangs, and sang newly composed ballads in the tunes of their hometown Chu to humiliate the late Wei knights.

Attack Pubanjin at night and attack Zhangyangchi in the morning.

3,000 stones of grain were burned, and more than 1,000 ships were destroyed.

Cao Zhenfin was too breathing, and Cao Rui sighed.

The Wei family has military pawns, and the world can run rampant......

Listening to the singing that was blown away by the river wind, Cao Zhen suddenly felt that his eyes were dark. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body shook, almost falling off his horse's back. Xiahou Ba saw that something was wrong with him. Hurriedly reached out to help him.

Cao Zhen gasped a few times, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled hard: "Set up camp here." Wait for the right general. ”

Zhang He also arrived quickly, and after receiving the news from Cao Zhen, he immediately rushed to the front with five thousand elite horsemen. But as soon as I saw Cao Zhen. He knew that he was still a step slower, and Wei Yan must have already run.

"General?" Zhang He couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw that Cao Zhen's face was pale and sweating constantly. At present, the situation in the Great Wei is urgent, and the Great Sima Cao Xiu has just suffered a big defeat in the southeast, and he can't afford to fall ill, if Cao Zhen falls again. But no one can afford such a heavy task - this requires not only ability, but also the trust of Emperor Bixia. Putting more than half of the country's heavy troops in the hands of someone is no less dangerous than the threat of Wu Shu.

"It's okay." Cao Zhenqiang laughed: "Before you came, did Bixia have any arrangements?" ”

Zhang He hesitated. Although he was very happy to hear the emperor's words "act on the opportunity", he was not stupid. There were also people around him who understood, and he soon understood that the comfort of these four words was a little bigger, otherwise the emperor should have agreed to his plan at that time. Later, he learned that Jiang Ji, who had been appointed as the general of the Protector Army, was the one who opposed him, and the meaning of Emperor Bixia was already very clear.

"What's wrong?" Cao Zhen raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Junyi, when did you become so homesick?" ”

Zhang He sighed, and recounted what happened when he met the Son of Heaven in Henan City, and Zuihou said: "Bixia let Jiang Ji be the general of the escort army, obviously he has vetoed my plan, and now he can only wait for reinforcements from various states and counties to arrive, and then storm Tongguan and Puban."

Cao Zhen frowned, and pondered for a long time: "Jun Yi, how many people do you need to complete this jihua?" ”

"General, if you take He as another department and attack Tongguan, you will ...... with the combat strength of Wei Yan's department" Zhang He was suddenly stunned for a moment, realizing that what Cao Zhen asked didn't seem to be what he answered, and raised his head in surprise: "General, you mean ......"

Cao Zhen smiled bitterly: "I mean, if you are asked to rush to the aid of Longyou, how many people and how much time will you need?" ”

Zhang He was stunned for a long time, then he understood, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "General, 20,000 steps are enough." Time, within half a month, He can reach Longyou, if Guo Huai still exists, Jincheng is not lost, then his subordinates have a month, you can defeat Zhuge Liang, if one of the two exists, two months. If both are mourned, the ...... I can only do my best, waiting for the opportunity to break into the pass, hoping to share a little pressure for the general. ”

After Zhang He finished speaking, he looked at Cao Zhen with blazing eyes. He knew very well that in order to carry out this task, it would have to be an elite unit to complete it. And Cao Zhen's subordinates can now be called elite, only 50,000 forbidden army foot cavalry. These 50,000 people not only have to bear the task of recovering the serious injuries in Guanzhong, but also defending Gyeonggi and being ready to support Jingxiang and the southeast at any time, which can be described as overstretched. He asked for 20,000 people, and Cao Zhen could give him 10,000 people, and he would be satisfied.

Cao Zhen was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I don't have enough troops to give you 20,000 people." ”

Zhang He was mentally prepared, but just nodded his head to show understanding.

"Still, I can give you all the cavalry." Cao Zhen stared at Zhang He's eyes and said word by word: "Including my own personal guards, the total number is about 10,000 horses." Do you dare to go? ”

Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly fell to the ground: "General Xie, you will never give up!" ”

Cao Zhen leaned over and gently patted Zhang He's back: "Junyi, don't die, let Haode live." When the country is in danger and thinks of good generals, when the world is dying, it is the time for good generals like you to make contributions. Go, defeat Zhuge Liang, recover Longyou, I will protect you for glory and wealth, and leave a name in history. ”

"Whoa." Zhang He burst into tears. "Thank you to the general, I will definitely do my best to repay the general's trust."

Yesterday, Lao Zhuang was cheap, and went to read Tang Sanzang's single chapter again, but found that he despised him again. Although Lao Zhuang knew that it was not easy for a niche book in history to compete for a monthly ticket, Lao Zhuang was still very uncomfortable being so blatantly despised by him.

Ladies and gentlemen, now that I am only 7 votes short of him, can we explode his chrysanthemum and force him to turn over again after 720 degrees of nakedness in the ice and snow? (To be continued.) )
