Chapter 627: The Battle of Yangping (3)
Xu Huang led a group of more than 5,000 elite soldiers, relying on the treacherous terrain of Yangping Pass, smuggled to the rear of Liu Beijun, and then suddenly attacked when the two armies were fighting, intending to attack back and forth, and catch the other party by surprise.
I have to say that Sima Yi's move is indeed ingenious, if it is replaced by another opponent, this move can be described as a killer move, but what he is facing is the phoenix Pang Tong, who is known as 'two people can settle the world'!
In the face of such a person, Sima Yi's tricks are difficult for him.
Pang Tong is an extraordinary person, he has long been good at Sima Yi's tricks, and among the generals under his command, there are many generals who have lived in Hanzhong for a long time and are familiar with the terrain, and he will definitely use this to make a big move against his side.
In the rear of the Shu army, there was already an elite army facing the rear, forming a strong arm, just to deal with this unexpected situation.
And the person responsible for commanding this defensive rear army is Huo Jun, a famous general known as the best defender under Liu Bei!
Although there is no city to rely on, but Huo Jun's defensive position is still strong, he divided the soldiers and horses, shields, and crossbows into several teams, arranged in order to form a favorable formation, and commanded in the center, so that the formations rely on each other, lips and teeth, with the excellent combination of soldiers and horses, coupled with his own effective command, it turned out to be a dead block of the enemy's soldiers and horses.
Xu Huang's back attack was hindered, and after a long time, the advantages of the Shu army were slowly reflected, and the battle had shown a one-sided trend, and the victorious scales were gradually approaching Yuan Shang's side.
Yuan Shang stood on the general platform in the rear, watching Sima Yi beside him command back and forth, issuing military orders one after another to various ministries and armies, and his brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.
Yuan Shang can be regarded as leading the troops for many years, just watching and listening, he also knows that Sima Yi's dispatch and command of the soldiers and horses can be described as flawless, and there is no negligence or flaw. However, the war is still gradually becoming passive towards oneself, which is the reason for the current gap in strength between the two sides.
With the soldiers of Hanzhong, fight against Liu Bei Xichuan's most of the soldiers and horses! After all, it was still hard to resist.
Sometimes, the difference in strength is indeed the deep-seated foundation that determines the outcome of the victory.
Yuan Shang strode to Sima Yi's side, but saw that although Sima Yi's face was also a little pale, he was not anxious because of the oblique defeat of the battle, on the contrary, his eyes were deep, obviously thinking carefully about the next countermeasures.
Yuan Shang looked at Sima Yi and said, "How is it?" Is the war going badly? ”
Sima Yi nodded lightly and said, "Xu Huang attacked the troops behind the enemy. was blocked by Huo Jun, a well-known general under Liu Bei, and he couldn't get in for a while, and he ......"
"And what?"
Sima Yi looked up at the sky and said: "And Pang Tong relied on the Sichuan army brought this time, and divided the soldiers and horses into several teams, and fought in turn, preserving the body, according to my analysis, if it was before dark." Once our army is tired and slack, and the Shu army attacks in rounds, my army may be difficult to resist, and we have to prepare early......"
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this. Then he said, "Prepare early? What do you think we can do in this situation besides waiting for reinforcements? The battle has already reached this point, is it possible that you will let me give up Hanzhong? ”
Sima Yi's face was gloomy. Said: "Lord, to tell the truth, the battle of Hanzhong." We are against Liu Bei, although the front is retreating, but in terms of losses, it is Liu Bei who wants to surpass us, I still say the same thing, fight people and materials, Liu Bei will never be able to fight us, take the two of us for one of him, it's worth it! ”
"Don't talk about it." Yuan Shang shook his head, and said with a rare positive color: "During this time, Yuan Mou has made up his mind, and he will not give up Hanzhong to death." ”
While the two were talking, behind Yangping Pass, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting and killing!
Yuan Shang looked back, but saw that on the horizon in the distance, looking at the end of the earth, there were suddenly several dense black lines, like a swarm of gathered ants, rushing towards the place where the two armies were facing each other at an incredible speed.
Beside Yuan Shang, Liu Xi, the left guard of Yuan Jun's main formation in Hanzhong, galloped to the side of the platform, squinted carefully for a while, and then let out an ecstatic shout.
"It's coming! It's the Guanzhong Army who came to our aid! ”
Yuan Shang and Sima Yi on the stage were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show an unpredictable smile.
On the contrary, the situation of the Guanzhong army finally arriving on the battlefield was also reported to Liu Bei's ears by the scouts of the Shu army, hearing this report, Rao is Liu Bei had already prepared his mind in his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble at this moment, and the hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist fell unconsciously, but he didn't notice it.
"It's coming, it's still coming. Xu Yuanzhi, after all, is still not as powerful as a certain family expected. Liu Bei's side, Pang Tong's face was a little pale, in his heart, he thought that with Xu Shu's ability, coupled with the solidity of Luoyang City, he could drag the Guanzhong army to the end of the year, but in the end, Yiqiē still did not go as he wished.
Today's Guanzhong Army, like a group of fierce wolves, with a carpet-like appearance, is viciously slaughtering in the direction where they are......
Hao Zhao, the leader of the Guanzhong Army, came to the front of the general's platform on horseback and made a gesture to turn over and dismount to salute Yuan Shang.
But seeing Yuan Shang hurriedly raised his hand, he said: "General Hao doesn't need to be polite, the top priority is to rush over, repel Liu Bei, and quickly lead everyone to cut Liu Bei to death...... Remember, the old boy who is going to beat him even knows his father! ”
Hao Zhao understood Yuan Shang's character, and said hahale: "Don't worry, don't say that his father doesn't recognize him, he won't even remember his father's surname when he is about to fight!" ”
"Draw inferences from one another, the children can be taught!"
After that, he saw that Hao Zhao began to order, and Zhuo ordered the Guanzhong army to enter the battlefield in batches.
With the support of the Guanzhong Army entering the battlefield, the Yuan Army, which had been on the passive side, finally turned from defense to attack and began a fierce attack on the Sichuan army!
Nowadays, the center of the two armies of Yuan and Liu is a relatively empty and conducive to attack and defense of the territory, because the terrain is relatively flat, the war here is relatively stalemate, both sides or attack or defend, in this place are not an inch, due to the particularity of the Hanzhong boundary, this confrontation, both sides are infantry as the main force of the battle, the cavalry has become a support, all the infantry are holding Changge and swords, fighting back and forth, bloody fighting, cold, I can't say that I will be killed by a sudden burst out.
At the junction of the two armies, the general of the Yuan army, Pang De, is fighting against Zhang Fei, the number one general of the Shu army, the armor on the two of them is infected with blood at the moment, and the hook knife and Zhangba snake spear in their hands are also dripping with blood, which is vague and makes people unable to see their true faces.
At this time, a Guanzhong army was also ordered to support here, and the leading generals were two Qiang leaders, Mi Dang and Oh He Yaoge.
These two people are both known for their bravery among the Qiang people, and their relationship with Pang De was also very good.
"General Pang, I'll wait!"
"Let's lay this black charcoal together!"
The two and their soldiers rushed to kill like tigers, and the Guanzhong army behind them rendered the battlefield even more gorgeous, with heads and limbs flying in the sky, only turning the battlefield into a Shura slaughterhouse, which made people frightened and panicked.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun fought against Jiang Huangzhong, the backbone of the Shu army, and the two also fought for fifty or sixty rounds, winning or losing, but at this moment, Zhang Xiu rode a horse and danced a spear, coming to help.
"Third junior brother, see me help you!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Yun didn't even have to look back, he knew who the person who was coming, he frowned when he heard the shouting, and the gentian gun in his hand kept waving, but he took the time to shout: "Just your three-legged cat's means, it's better to be my senior brother?" Who is your junior brother! Get out of the way! ”
"Hey!" Zhang Xiu didn't care whether Zhao Yun annoyed him or not, attacked Huang Zhong with him, and said: "Even if you don't admit it, but the facts are in front of you, you and I are both disciples of the Spear God, and the senior brother is the senior brother, and I can't rely on it!" You'll admit it! ”
"I'll admit a fart!" Zhao Yun was obviously very unwilling to this matter, and while clamping and attacking Huang Zhong, he said angrily: "This old man's head is mine!" You give me something else! ”
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "You and my brothers are united, why don't you worry about taking this old horseman?" Why be hypocritical! ”
Huang Zhong fought Zhao Yun alone, thinking that he had exhausted all his attention, and now he suddenly rushed out of Zhang Xiu, how to stop it?
But seeing the old man, he said in a humble voice: "The world is declining, and today's young people don't dare to beat the old man one to the other, alas...... What face stands between heaven and earth? ”
Huang Zhong's words were originally intended to provoke Zhao Yun to retreat from Zhang Xiu, so as to relieve some pressure, but he didn't want Zhao Yun to hear this, but he came to the spirit and stopped Zhang Xiu.
"Old general, your words may have provoked others, but you categorically can't provoke this governor, who followed the lord to fight in the south and the north, and his personal reputation has long been put aside! Not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, he saw Zhao Yun smile strangely and said: "What's more, after I slaughtered you, after slaughtering him, I said that he was killed by you, and you were killed by me, and the credit was all given to me, and no one else knew about the beating, even if ordinary soldiers saw it, they were not in the mood to take care of this idle matter, do you think this is two birds with one stone?" ”
When Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.
"You young man, with good skills, why are you so shameless!"
Zhang Xiu rushed to attack Huang Zhong and said angrily: "That's it, it's so shameless, for the sake of merit, even the senior brother has to be killed!" ”
“…………”
The addition of the Guanzhong army once again tilted the balance of victory to the side of the Yuan army, and the generals of Guanzhong went out together to support the generals of Hanzhong, only Jia Xu and Deng Chang came to Yuan Shang's side under the protection of an elite team.
