Pucheng is east of the big river and north of the Lianshui, which originates from the Huangjia Valley in Dongshan, flows from northeast to southwest, joins Zhangyang Pond in the east of Pucheng, and then joins the Yellow River in the west.

Cao Zhen was very careful, he knew that if he wanted to cross the river, a sufficient number of ships was the top priority, without enough boats, he would not be able to send enough soldiers across the river at one time, and he would not be able to threaten Zhao Yun.

He considered that the Shu army might come to sneak attack, especially to destroy his ships, so he put all the collected ships in Zhangyangchi and arranged heavy guards, and the troops guarding Zhangyangchi exceeded the forces guarding him, a general, which was enough to prove that he attached great importance to these ships.

It can be said that even if 20,000 people come to sneak attack and burn the ship, it is impossible to do so, and the main force of the 10,000 forbidden army is fully capable of defeating the enemy twice as much, and then, the 2,000 iron cavalry will launch a desperate pursuit until the opponent is killed to the ground.

And if Wei Yan and Zhao Yun's army are all added together, there are only 20,000 people, including nearly 10,000 recruits, and it is not easy for those people to hold their positions well, and they are not qualified to carry out such a difficult tactical operation as a sneak attack.

So Cao Zhen was very relieved, and he focused his attention on how to break through Zhao Yun's blocking formation on the other side of the river. Outside Tongguan, Xiahouba's tentative attack has fully proved the strength of the Shu Han army in terms of armament, and it is conceivable that Zhao Yun on the other side of the river will definitely have a better defense than Tongguan. Zhao Yun didn't mean to hide this from them, and the thunderbolt poles on the position had clearly explained this.

Cao Zhen convened the generals to discuss the superiority of armaments against the Shu Han army. Everyone said that they didn't find any good way, and Zuihou rode Lieutenant Li Feng to stand up. "General, my subordinates think there is only one way. With more and stronger ordnance, to suppress the superiority of the Shu Han army in armaments. ”

Cao Zhen was very unhappy when he heard this, everyone understands this truth. Do you want you to teach me? However, Cao Zhen didn't get angry, because this Li Feng was too famous and a celebrity. If he rashly reprimanded him, his reputation in Shilin would be greatly affected in the future.

Li Fengzi Anguo. Zuo Feng Yiren, the son of Wei Wei Li Yi. He followed his father Li Yi to Yecheng very early, and became famous at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It's on par with Wei Wei back then. After Wei Wei's case, his father Li Yi didn't want him to follow in Wei Wei's footsteps, so he locked him up at home and studied behind closed doors. And his fame rose again, but it was related to the demotion of Soochow last year. At that time, Cao Rui had just ascended the throne, and someone from Eastern Wu came to surrender. Naturally, he wanted to meet with him and asked Wu Jianren that Jiangdong knew which famous people in China were. He said that he heard that there was a Li Anguo, who was a famous man. Cao Rui didn't know that Li Anguo was Li Feng. asked left and right, left and right to Li Feng, Cao Rui was surprised, so he promoted Li Feng to be a cavalry captain.

This time, Cao Rui handed over all the main forces of the forbidden army left in Kyoto to Cao Zhen, and asked him to lead him to attack Tongguan, and Li Feng was one of the generals. Earlier, he was Feng Yiren, and if he wanted to attack Guanzhong, he had a certain appeal, so Cao Zhen was very polite to him.

But Cao Zhen disagreed with his opinion, which is simply a standard scholar's opinion, which is good to listen to and does not work.

"Could it be that Li Duwei is as skilled in machinery as Wei Ba?" Xiahou Ba was very unhappy when he saw Li Feng's demeanor of a celebrity, and couldn't help but ridicule.

"How can I pay attention to such craftsman's things?" Li Feng smiled contemptuously: "The general should go to the baggage camp to find it." ”

Xiahou Baha laughed and ignored him anymore. Li Feng was also very unhappy, ignoring the face of the general Cao Zhen, and brushed his sleeves away.

Xiahou Ba reciprocated with a sneer.

The atmosphere in the big tent was a little awkward for a while. Cao Zhen coughed softly, Xiahou Ba's face sank like water, and he was silent in thought. The others also looked at each other, not knowing what to say. After a while, Du Shu, the regular attendant of the army, coughed, got up and said, "General, Li Anguo's words are not all lies. If you want to restrain the opponent's ordnance superiority, there is no other way. Otherwise, after our army has crossed the river with great difficulty, it will have to face the enemy's strong position, and the casualties will inevitably be staggering. ”

Cao Zhen said in a deep voice: "What is the high opinion of Uncle Wu? ”

Du Shu is the son of Du Ji. When Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao, Du Ji was the Taishou of Hedong, and provided military rations for Cao Cao with the reserves of a county in Hedong, which made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Ma Chao. Later, he died because of the trial ship in Mengjin, and he was a model of a famous minister who was loyal to the king. Du Shu is a Jingzhao person, Jingzhao Duling Du clan is a big clan in Guanzhong, and this time he moved with the army, but also out of the intention of appeasing the people after recovering Guanzhong.

"General, there is a Ma Jun in the Fufeng Ma family, who is good at machinery, if he comes to the army, he must be able to compete with Wei Ba."

"Fufeng Ma's family?" Cao Zhen hesitated, the Fufeng Ma family was Ma Chao's old clan, and after escaping from Guanzhong with Ma Chao, the Ma family was not less implicated. He was silent for a moment: "Where is this Ma Jun now?" ”

"In Luoyang, it seems to be doing Langzhong." Du Shu frowned, thought for a while, and didn't remember what kind of official Ma Jun was. The identity of the Ma family is embarrassing, Ma Jun has no knowledge except for ingenuity, whether it is a Confucian scholar who values scripture or a celebrity who advocates demeanor, he will not pay much attention to people like Ma Jun. If it weren't for today's mention of restraining the ordnance of the Shu Han army, Du Shu wouldn't have remembered Ma Jun.

Cao Zhen nodded: "In this way, I will write bixia and send this person to come immediately." ”

Du Shu replied and retreated. Seeing that Cao Zhen had made a decision, the generals also retired. Cao Zhen was in a good mood, during the day, he had just received the news that Zhang He was leading 30,000 forbidden troops to come to help, and now he had found a skilled craftsman who was enough to compete with Wei Ba, as long as it took three or five days, this person arrived to build all kinds of equipment, whether it was Pubanjin or Tongguan, it would become relatively easy, and when the time came, with his superior forces, it would not be difficult to attack Guanzhong.

Cao Zhen's health has been poor these days, and fatigue has aggravated his condition, and seeing that several major problems will be solved, he finally got a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, this good mood was ruined before the next morning, and after he was awakened by the sound of the impassioned war drums, he got a message: enemy attack!

Cao Zhen was very puzzled: "Where is the enemy?" Is it Zhao Yun's people? ”

"No, it's Wei Yan's battle flag!"

"How many are there?"

"About 2,000 people."

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put on his clothes, and climbed to the top of the city. See everything outside the city. I couldn't help but surprise him. In addition to the 10,000 forbidden troops around Pucheng, there were also more than 3,000 Hedong soldiers who had just arrived, and they brought a large amount of grain and grass. Cao Zhen arranged for 5,000 people to cooperate with them to set up camp. But now, the camps were in flames, and two thousand of the enemy, carrying torches, were rushing through the baggage camps. On the one hand, he killed people, and on the other hand, he set fires, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

A battle flag flickered in the firelight. A big Wei character on it is faintly visible. Cao Zhen was furious, immediately climbed the city tower, beat the war drums, and commanded the generals to encircle and suppress.

With only 2,000 people, Wei Yan actually killed him right under his nose, which is tolerable, which is unbearable. Cao Zhen decided. Take this opportunity to kill Wei Yan here, relieve a serious trouble, even if Wei Yan himself is not there, he must leave these two thousand people here to boost morale.

Under the command of the drums of war. The panicked Cao army immediately took action, and Xiahou Ba led the men and horses of his headquarters to rush out of Pucheng and rush directly to the Shu Han army that was rushing to kill in the camp. Li Feng, the cavalry commander, also rushed out of Pucheng, led his subordinates with 500 cavalry, and prepared to go around behind the enemy to intercept and kill.

Li Feng was both a little nervous and a little excited. His father Li Yi has followed Cao Cao for many years, and is a famous capable minister, an official to a guard captain, but because he has no military exploits, he has not been able to be a marquis, which has become an irreparable regret. Because of his fame in Jiangdong, he was suddenly promoted from Huangmenlang to cavalry captain, commanding 500 cavalry, and the opportunity to pay homage to the marquis was suddenly displayed in front of him. Yesterday he was sneered at by Xiahou Ba in person, he was very uncomfortable, and today he just took the opportunity to compete with Xiahou Ba and hit the arrogance of these so-called generals behind the door.

Celebrities and celebrities are not only able to speak well, but more importantly, they are knowledgeable, and they are generals when they come out, and they are like appearances, which are far from being comparable to those of you martial artists who can only kill.

Li Feng thought as he rode out of the city gate. He had just rushed out of the city gate, and the horse that stepped down suddenly neighed, but it was not under his control, and he stopped suddenly. Li Feng was taken aback, and he didn't care about the beautiful scenery of the future marquis, so he tightly tightened the reins of the horse, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, so that he didn't let himself fall off the horse.

Just as he was trying to control his horse, he suddenly heard a strange and familiar voice.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Familiar because this is the sound of feather arrows galloping, although Li Feng has not been in the army for a long time, he is no stranger to this voice. What was unfamiliar was that the voices were dense and clustered, almost connected, and it seemed that hundreds of crossbowmen were firing in unison.

Thinking of the archers, Li Feng broke out in a cold sweat, he looked up, and under the light of the torches in the hands of the knights, he saw a galloping black shadow, dense as flying locusts.

Before he could react, more than a dozen war horses in front of him had been shot to the ground, and the knights who were caught off guard were all in chaos, huddled together at the city gate, and the knights behind didn't know what was happening, and they didn't have time to put away their horses, some crashed into their companions in front, and some tried their best to turn their horses' heads, and they just stopped, and they were knocked down by their companions behind.

The people at the gate of the city shouted and neighed, and there was a mess.

In the night outside the city gate, a feather arrow flew one after another, shooting the Wei knights in a hurry, they had to control the war horse under the crotch, but also to guard against the cold arrow in the dark, and at the same time to beware of the same war horse, so as not to be knocked to the ground. was attacked by an enemy close at hand, and even the elite knights were caught off guard for a while.

And Li Feng, who should play a role at this time, was more flustered than everyone else, just controlling the war horse made him tired of coping, and he couldn't think of how to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him. The grand wish of making meritorious contributions and worshipping the marquis has flown away from the clouds at this moment, and he only has one thought left, how to make the white horse under the crotch no longer turn in circles.
