The reason why Feng Zhou chose Chen Shi and Wang Ping instead of others was because these two people belonged to the kind of generals who were conscientious and hardworking.

Both of them belong to the conscientious and decent middle-level commanders in the army, even if the orders of the superiors are to put him in danger or go deep alone, they will undoubtedly carry it out, they are models of loyal soldiers, they are the type that all superiors like, and they are also a type of people who must have.

They did not show anything outstanding in terms of bravery and resourcefulness, indicating that they were not geniuses, but ordinary soldiers. is an inconspicuous but indispensable person.

After Feng Zhou left, Ma Jian whispered to Zhuge Liang: "In the past, Emperor Xiaowen entered the Xiliu Camp to work in the army, and Zhou Yafu said: 'The army hears the commander's order, but does not hear the edict of the Son of Heaven'. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan, glanced at Ma Yan, and said with a smile: "The art of war has clouds, virtual and real, virtual and real, virtual and real, Your Majesty is brave and brave, rare in the world, so the flag is silent, just for the street pavilion to fight." Your Majesty's vision is more accurate than that of ordinary veterans, and this God blesses the great man. You must know that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and nothing is static, and this is true for reading the art of war, and the same is true for others. ”

Ma Tan listened, and retreated.

However, it was said that Feng Zhou, Chen Shi, and Wang Ping led an army of 15,000 to Jieting and looked at the terrain. Chen Shi smiled and said: "In this remote place of the mountain, the Wei soldiers are afraid that they will not dare to come easily!" Wang Ping said: "Although the Wei soldiers dare not come, they can go down to the village at the mouth of the five roads, but they ordered the soldiers to cut down trees for a fence in order to plan for a long time." ”

Chen Shi nodded yes, and after sealing the boat, he arranged for the army to cut down trees, carry soil and splash water, and in only two days, he built an earthen city on the road and on the mountain.

In addition, Chen Shi also built a small military camp three miles in front of Tucheng, and arranged for Hu Ben Zhonglang to lead 2,000 elite soldiers to defend it, showing a tendency to lean on the corner.

Feng Zhou saw that although Chen Shi had an ordinary vision, he was also conscientious, and he did his duty without ambiguity, and he was really an indispensable person in the army, no wonder he could achieve a high position.

At this time, he and Wang Ping, as well as Wu Tong, Zhang Wen and others went to the south of the city to lurk on the mountain, and saw the strong earth city from a distance, so he smiled and said: "General Chen is the road to build the city, even if there are 100,000 thieves, they can't pass it." ”

Wang Ping and everyone nodded yes, admiring Feng Zhou's wisdom in their hearts.

Another day passed, and suddenly the smoke and dust were rolling on Longxi Road, the horses' hooves were rumbling, and thousands of troops and horses were killed. It was the Wei army that arrived.

I have to say that the Wei army came very quickly!

Because since receiving the news that Cao Pi was in Chang'an, Feng Zhou led the army to Jieting, he had a great time advantage in the inner line, and Zhang He was 1,200 miles away from Chang'an to Jieting.

Therefore, the Han army arrived only four days ahead of schedule, which is enough to show that Zhang He made a long-distance attack and was extremely fast.

And after the army galloped thousands of miles, it still maintained a soaring murderous aura, which was enough to reflect Zhang He's ability to command the army.

Wei Jun came so fast!

Lu Jian, the pioneer general of Zhang He's department, took the lead, personally led 10,000 iron horsemen to open the way, and killed from Zhang He's camp, and it only took two hours at most to kill outside the three-mile small village camp. It was also at this time that Ju Fu summoned the whole army and held a pre-war mobilization meeting, facing two thousand Han soldiers, Ju Fu held his spear and shouted viciously: "Brothers, the Wei soldiers have arrived! General Chen has an order, asking us to fight and retreat, relying on the favorable terrain, we must kill and retreat the first wave of the Wei army's attack, and the man will make meritorious contributions in this battle!"

Two thousand elite soldiers raised their spears one after another and shouted, "Make meritorious deeds, fight here!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of Wei Jun's horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and in the dust, even Zhang He's main general was already in sight.

"Spears, arrays!"

With the roar of Jufu, the Han army quickly formed a spear formation, like a neat forest, lined up in a steel forest, and marched towards the Wei army.

Since Feng Zhou defeated Xu Huang with a spear square formation, repelled Cao Zhen, and defeated the Eastern Wu army in Jingzhou, this formation that can reflect a strong army has been popularized among the Han army, because this formation is really simple and clear, much more concise than Zhuge Liang's gossip array, and many generals know that they can't compare to Zhuge Liang, so they practice this formation when they train their troops.

Lu Jian didn't expect that the Han army, which was inferior in numbers, would dare to counterattack, and immediately waved the banner, the whole army accelerated, and immediately collided with the spear array composed of 2,000 elite soldiers of Jufu, and the shouting of killing and the sound of swords and guns clashing immediately echoed in the narrow battlefield of Longxi Road.

The shouts, the sounds of fighting, and the sound of weapons touching each other all converged into a boiling chorus, and everyone had blood-red eyes, not retreating, desperately piercing the spear in their hands to each other, and desperately slashing the long knife in their hands at each other.

On the narrow battlefield, thousands of troops trampled on the sand and dust, and the entire battlefield surged with clouds of yellow mist. Ju Fu and Lu Jian were separated by a hundred feet, each standing on a high place, awe-inspiring, looking at each other.

There were more than a dozen strong soldiers around each of them who raised their iron shields to block the crossbow arrows that were shooting around them. And the soldiers below fought with the enemy, shooting arrows and swords, fighting to the death and not retreating. The sound of killing in the shadow of the sword light and spear shook the sky.

After a fierce battle for more than half an hour, nearly 10,000 Wei troops took turns to attack, and the 2,000 elite soldiers under Jufu had suffered more than 3,400 casualties, and the Wei army was also killed and wounded by them.

Feng Zhou looked from the top of the mountain, but saw that the ancient road was full of corpses, and the horses with no one on the saddle were scattered and galloping, but the feathered arrows shot by the enemy soldiers were strong and powerful. Seeing that the enemy attack in the northeast corner was particularly fierce, and the defenders were gradually unable to resist, one of Jufu's generals was very anxious and asked: "General, the enemy is strong, should we retreat?"

Jufu's eyes were like eagles, and he looked at the enemy soldiers opposite for a moment, and said in a low voice: "How to retreat, as soon as you retreat, it will be chaotic!"

"Is that a signal to General Chen in the city to ask him for reinforcements?" the ministry would continue to ask.

Ju Fu shook his head: "It's useless to send it, this battlefield is so narrow, and you can't form a formation when you come, and you can't replace us." ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly speared and shouted, "Only fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The Han soldiers were already red-eyed and shouted one after another.

"The resistance of the Shu army is so strong!" Lu Jian couldn't help but sigh.

In the territory of Wei, it is not allowed to call Ji Han's name, and they are all uniformly called Shu State, Shu Army, Shu Lord and the like.

"General, our army has just arrived, and the enemy is waiting for work, and it is inevitable that the morale will be high, so it is better to retreat for the time being, and wait for the right general to arrive with a unified army, and destroy it in one go. A ministry general suggested.

Seeing that the enemy was too strong, if these two thousand people were completely wiped out, the army under Lu Jian's command would be crippled.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Mingjin retreats!"

The vanguard of the Wei army slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and the Han army naturally did not catch up.

Because Chen Shi's previous military order to Jufu was to resist the first wave and return to Tucheng after inflicting maximum damage on the enemy.

Here, the Han army retreated to Tucheng, and the Wei army also joined Zhang He's army.

After Zhang He heard Lu Jian's report, he laughed: "Okay! The Shu army is so fierce and not afraid of death, it means that we have caught their flaws, as long as we conquer the street pavilion, we can attack Zhuge Liang's flank and gather the Shu army in Longyou." Therefore, the key to this victory and defeat is in this street pavilion earth city. ”

"What the general said is extremely true!" Lu Jian admired incomparably.

"Who is the defender of the earth city on the other side?"

"Shu State Dangkou General Chen Shi. Lu Jian replied.

"Hehe, Chen Shi, the middle man, when I joined forces with Gongming, I killed him outside Yangping Pass, and countless people committed suicide by throwing himself into the valley, Zhuge Liang sent him over, it was really inappropriate! My army should attack day and night, and break it as soon as possible!" Zhang He flashed his confident and wise eyes, and looked at the earthen city at the entrance of the street pavilion from afar, with a cruel smile on his mouth.

He thought in his heart: "Adou Xiao'er, Zhuge Villager, this time, on the edict of the Son of Heaven, he will lead 50,000 iron horsemen, and he will definitely smash you to the ground!
