Outside the Cao army camp, Zhang Xiu's army did not move, only letting Pangulis continue to push the cart and continue to go deep into the Chinese army camp. (.) When Pangulis pushed the cart to the middle of the front camp, he heard a whistling sound from both sides! "Boom Blah Blah 1 1 1 1 1 1 "

A Pangulux priest looked up, only to see rows of rockets with red light and long tails shooting from both sides!

Before this Pangulis could react, Zhou Cang in front of him had already shouted: "It's not good! What an ambush! Withdraw! After speaking, I saw Zhou Cang in front of him running back. At this time, there were Pangulis's soldiers who saw it. Asked="General." That rushing ......"

Zhou Cangtou replied without replying: "Don't worry, there are still many of our troops in this rushing car, withdraw first, your life is at stake!" "As soon as Zhou Cang's words came out, the eight hundred Pangulis didn't care about anything, turned around and left." Tuk Tuk Tuk 111111" "Hu 111111"

At this time, rows of incoming rockets had been fired into the nearby marching tents and wooden fences, and these flammable items were ignited at once. Moreover, the fire was spreading even faster, and it was clear that there were burning items in these marching tents. Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er were at the forefront, and they didn't care about the road, relying on brute force and the protection of heavy armor, they directly crashed out of a road.

Although Pangulis were all heavily armoured, they were all strong men when they were drafted, so it was not too much of a problem to run for a while. It is also for this reason that Zhang Xiu has the audacity to let Pangulux go deeper. Coupled with the road that Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er crashed out, it was much easier for Pangulis to escape from the fire.

At this time, outside the Cao Jun camp, Ma saw that the front camp suddenly caught fire, but he glanced at Jia Xu with admiration. I heard Jia Xu say that Cao Jun would attack with fire, and Ma also secretly scolded Jia Xu for being cowardly.

Zhang Xiu saw the fire in front of him, and immediately said: "Meng Qi, let people in quickly, and pick up Pangulux to come out!" Ma was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lord, it's all a fire, how to respond?" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he glared at the horse angrily and said, "You can't put out the fire!" Seeing that the horse was about to go, he was afraid that he would go to find a water source, so he hurriedly added: "Use sediment to extinguish the fire, step by step!" ”

Zhang Xiu said it so clearly, if the horse didn't understand it anymore, there was really something wrong with his head, so he immediately led more than 100 Qiang Hu Tieqi to go in to extinguish the fire with mud and sand. And it didn't go deeper, just gradually cleared a path. Before long, I saw Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er leading Pangulis out of the camp, but there was no one missing.

At this time, the fire had completely covered the entire front camp of Cao's army, and Zhang Xiu saw it and immediately asked the army to retreat a hundred steps. Such fires are beyond human control, and can only be left to burn in this case.

Jia Xu saw the fire, but his brows furrowed even tighter. Zhang Xiu next to him saw it and asked, "Wenhe, what are you thinking?" Jia Xu heard this, and arched his hand and said: "Lord, Xu always thinks that this fire is strange!" Zhang Xiu and Ma heard this, and at the same time were surprised: "Weird? ”

Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "What Wen He said is not bad, this fire is indeed a little strange, our army did not go deep and set it on fire, obviously to delay time." After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "Since this is the case, our army will turn to the rear camp to see how he delays time!" ”

Jia Xu didn't have a good way, so he nodded in agreement. Zhang Xiu gave an order, and the Qiang Hu Tieqi immediately launched three more rushing chariots from the camp to detour to the rear of the Cao army, and then let Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er lead Pangulis to attack the camp gate again.

Here, Pangulis attacked the camp again, but this time it took nearly two hours to break the gate of the rear camp, but Pangulis had serious physical exertion. After breaking the camp gate, Zhang Xiu did not immediately let Yu Gulishi go deeper, but asked them to rest first. However, at this time, the fire on the front camp has weakened a lot, and I am afraid that after Pangulis has rested, the fire on the front camp will probably be extinguished.

In the rear camp, only a few traces of Cao Jun were seen in the front camp, but in this case, Zhang Xiu did not dare to send Qiang Hu Tieqi to go deeper, for fear of encountering fire again.

Just when Zhang Xiu was helpless, Jia Xu next to him suddenly lost his voice and said: "Not good! This enemy's golden cicada is also a plan to get out of the shell! ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and asked anxiously: "Why did Wen He say this?" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Cao Jun must have dug the tunnel overnight and escaped from the tunnel!" ”

Zhang Xiu was anxious when he heard this, he had already wasted three hours at the Cao army camp at this time, and he hadn't counted last night's time, so he hurriedly shouted: "Meng Qi, immediately lead 100,000 Qiang Hu Tie to chase in the direction of Chen Liu, there must be no mistake!" Also, remember to be on the lookout for enemy ambushes at dangerous points! Ben will be there later! ”

Such a pursuit will encounter an ambush, and Zhang Xiushu has seen too much, so he advises the horse to be cautious. After the horse left, Zhang Xiu asked Hua Xiong to lead 10,000 people and Pangulishi to monitor here, and after the fire in the front camp was extinguished, he would carefully attack it, and he would lead 10,000 people to pursue. And Jia Xu asked to go with him with all his heart, and Zhang Xiu naturally agreed.

Let's say that the horse led the army to pursue in the direction of Chenliu, and saw the traces of the army along the way, and the horse was even more overjoyed. After chasing for thirty miles, he encountered a danger, of course, this danger is not as good as those places in Shuzhong, and he will not be wiped out if he is ambushed. However, Ma also remembered Zhang Xiu's words, and did not approach lightly, but sent scouts to the hills on both sides to inquire about the news.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the scouts returned to report to Ma Yu that there were indeed a large number of Cao troops in ambush on the mountain. The horse was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led the artificial mountain, and with the bravery of the horse, he only lost a few men and horses to get rid of the ambush soldiers on both sides.

When the horse got rid of the ambush soldiers, it was also sunset, and Zhang Xiu also led the army to come. When Ma found out, he immediately went to Zhang Xiu and reported the matter. Zhang Xiu heard it, smiled and praised: "Meng Qi did a good job!" When Ma heard this, he said happily: "Lord, now that the ambush has been cleared, our army should pursue it overnight and defeat the Cao army!" ”

Just as Zhang Xiu was about to nod in agreement, Jia Xu next to him high-fived and shouted, "Clear!" What a Guo Fengxiao, what a plan for a golden cicada to get out of the shell! Zhang Xiu heard it and said in surprise: "Wenhe, what's the matter?" ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Lord, we are all wrong, the direction of the Cao army is not Chen Liu, but the main force of Cao Cao in Nantou!" Now this road is just a suspicious soldier, Guo Fengxiao's hand is to hide from the world! ”

Zhang Xiu also understood when he heard it, first used the camp as a bait to drag Zhang Xiu's army, and he dug a tunnel overnight to escape. Then he arranged suspicious soldiers on Chen Liu's side, and even the two ambushes that Fang Cai Ma retreated were all suspicious soldiers arranged by Guo Jia, but in the end, he let the army and Cao Cao's main force converge.

And according to Jia Xu's thoughts, I am afraid that Guo Jia would have sent a messenger to Cao Cao to answer him. Although Xiangcheng was farther away from here than Chen Liu, Guo Jia delayed for a whole day. In addition, there are Changshe, Yangzhai and other cities along the way to rely on to resist, but I am afraid that it will be useless for Zhang Xiu to chase at this time.

Zhang Xiu was not angry when he heard this, and called the Cao soldiers captured when Fang Caima attacked the Cao army's ambush. After a round of coercion and inducement and careful interrogation, the results were just as Jia Xu expected, and the traces of the army's walking along the way were all made by these Cao soldiers.

Before long, a junior colonel came to report, but it was Hua Xiong who led the army to break the camp of the Cao army, and there were not many Cao soldiers in the camp. Then two tunnels were built in the camp, one to the east and the other to the south. After Hua Xiong asked people to report, he had already led 100,000 Qiang Hu Tie to chase south.

Jia Xu was anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Lord, General Hua is only afraid that the enemy will be ambushed here, and the lord will immediately send someone to answer it!" Moreover, it is difficult for Cao's army to guarantee that there will be no ambush in the tunnel, and the lord and Meng Qibing are divided into two ways, all the way to pick up General Yinghua, so that he does not want to pursue, and immediately return to the division to protect the camp! ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Ma to lead the army to respond, while he and Jia Xu led the army back to the camp together. Sure enough, as Jia Xu expected, thousands of Cao troops were attacking the camp, but they were resisted by Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang leading Pangulis. And when Zhang Xiu's army arrived, these Cao troops directly laid down their arms and surrendered.

Zhang Xiu saw it, but he was puzzled. After asking, I learned that Guo Jia had already explained that if his army came, he could surrender. That's why these soldiers behaved like this.

After waiting for about half an hour, Ma and Huaxiong also led the army back together, and Huaxiong's headquarters lost hundreds of people, which was not too much. Zhang Xiu heard this, so he asked the soldiers to go back to rest first, after all, after a busy day, everyone was tired. And Zhang Xiu himself looked at the stars in Hong Kong outside the tent and smiled bitterly.

I worked all day, but in the end, it was nothing. Although the loss of soldiers and horses was not much, it was successfully escaped by the Dingba War Department and could not achieve the greatest results. But how to say it, Zhang Xiu's battle has been fought beautifully, winning more with less, and defeating Cao Jun.

The most important thing is that there is no army capable of fighting in the entire Yanzhou, except for the Chen Liu. In this way, Zhang Xiu's troops can go straight to Yanzhou, and then take Qingzhou and Xuzhou. The hinterland of Cao's army was threatened, so Cao Cao's main force had to give up the attack on Nanyang and turn north to resist Zhang Xiu, otherwise, as soon as Zhang Xiu's light cavalry came out, Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou would be in great trouble.

Although the battle was not completed, it had already achieved a strategic victory, and this situation was to force Cao Cao's main force to return to the north and confront him head-on. Otherwise, in addition to Sanzhou, even Xuchang is in danger. And if Cao Cao's main force returns to the north, then Xu Huang in Nanyang can not only relieve his breath, but also send troops to harass Cao Cao's main force, and join forces with Zhang Xiu's army to attack Cao's army.

As for Guan Yu in Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu is very confident in Gan Ning's navy. As long as Gan Ning controlled the Han Shui, Guan Yu didn't dare to move lightly, of course, what Zhang Xiu didn't know at this time was that what he was thinking now had become a fact.

The battle situation in the Central Plains has moved in the direction that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu planned before the war, and the battle situation is temporarily controlled by Zhang Xiu's side. As for the other big battlefield in Hebei, thanks to Zhang Xiu's consecutive victories, Zhao Yun's army also took an offensive, forcing Xiahou Wei's army to defend it step by step.

Since Xiahou Bi had Cao's cavalry under him, especially the elite tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhao Yun did not dare to send cavalry into Hebei to harass like Zhang Xiu. Of course, it is not that the combat power of the Lei Yun Cavalry is inferior to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but because the Xiahou Cavalry has a large number of troops, which is not comparable to Zhang Shao's side, Zhao Yun does not dare to divide the troops.

Although Zhao Yun took the offensive, the gap in strength made the entire battle situation still in a stalemate. Fa Zheng and Cheng Yu fought with old man, Zhao Yun and Cao Ying fought bravely, and neither side found a flaw for the time being. As a result, skirmishes have arisen from time to time, but the big war that really determines the outcome has not yet exploded.

As for Liu Bei's side, the army has also penetrated deep into Shuzhong, and it is about to reach Linjiang, and then attack Jiangzhou. Huang Zhong also led his army to Zhuti in the south of Qianwei to resist the attack of the army of the barbarian king Meng Huo. As for the side of Youzhou, Ma Dai relied on the danger of Yanmen to keep Xiahou Yuan's army out of the gate of Bingzhou. From the perspective of the war situation, the situation on Zhang Xiu's side can be described as very good. At this time, in Xiangcheng, the defenders led by Xu Huang were in a bitter battle.

Three days ago, the second batch of wells of the Cao army was finally built, and the Nanyang Corps, which could have been able to defend Xiangcheng, suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Jingqi. Two days before the rain, because there were still stone corrections stored in the city, the trebuchet could still move, and several wells that were relatively close to each other were knocked out. made Cao's attack less arrogant, so it lasted only two more days. But now that the stones in Xiangcheng have been exhausted, the trebuchet has been invalidated, Xu Huang has ordered someone to smash the trebuchet, if Cao Jun really breaks through Xiangcheng, he will not know the secret of the trebuchet.

At this time, Xu Huang was covered in blood and came to the county government with a fierce face. Lying on the couch was Hu Zhen, who had already recuperated with his legs, and standing next to him was Huangfu Li.

Xu Yan asked Hu Zhen in a condensed voice: "Wencai, what's the matter with summoning a certain person, you must know that the brothers are still fighting in the city." ”

Hu Zhen listened to the almost non-stop earth-shattering shouts and killings outside, nodded, and then beckoned, letting Xu Huang come closer, and said in a low voice: "Gongming, tell me, how long can Xiangcheng be defended?" Xu Min rarely squeezed out a smile and said: "Wencai and rest assured, you will be able to defend Xiangcheng."

Hu Zhen shook his head with difficulty and said, "Gongming, don't hide it from me, now there are only more than a thousand brothers left in the city, I'm afraid that Xiangcheng won't be able to hold it in the next moment!" ”

After Xu Yang listened, he suddenly looked at Huangfu Li on the side, obviously the only one who could know the real situation was Huangfu Li. Huangfu Li smiled bitterly and said, "General, it's not that Li is afraid of death. We have been holding on to Xiangcheng for so long, and life and death have long been lightened. In this battle, our army of more than 20,000 troops was almost wiped out, and Cao's army was not happy, at least three times the price, and the goal had been achieved. Li thought that when he retired at this time, Wancheng still had 30,000 troops, Chang'an still had 20,000 elite Breaking Front Battalions and General Gao's newly trained army. As long as the general recruits the 100,000 troops, our army can also fight with the Cao army again, all of this still depends on the general, so Li thinks that the general cannot be killed and live and die with Xiangcheng! ”
