Although Cao Jun was immersed in alcohol, the consciousness in his mind still retained a trace of sobriety.

With the bonus of Drunken Fist, his strength increased several times, but his movements and reaction speed were much sluggish.

In order to avoid the cold arrows of the archers in the rear, they had to rush into the cavalry group of the Wei army, so that the archers in the rear had concerns and did not dare to release the arrows.

After all, it is easy to hide from the open, but it is difficult to guard against the secret.

In this way, you can keep yourself as safe as possible.

As for the cavalry of the Wei army who fought close to him.

When the speed of the cavalry disappeared, it was just a human head hanging from a high place.

Cao Jun fought and walked, never staying in the same place, disrupting the enemy lineup as much as possible, and for a while it was like a weasel in a chicken coop, and directly exploded the nest.

Seeing that the retreating Shu army was getting farther and farther, one of the captains who led the troops suddenly snorted coldly, and led people to bypass the Cao army from both sides and go straight to the Shu army in the rear.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Cao Jun had no choice but to seize a horse and chase after him in the rear.

During this pursuit, the forward troops of the Wei army, which had been blocked for a quarter of an hour, attacked forward slowly and orderly.

Just when the Wei cavalry caught up with the retreating large force of the Shu army, the Cao army also killed from behind.

The other person was still on the horse, and his entire upper body had stood up, and the spear in his hand was raised high, and with the impact of the war horse, he shouted from behind, "Rats, look at the gun!" ”

The captain of the Wei army only had time to make defensive moves, but he couldn't catch up with the speed of Cao Jun's guns.

Suddenly, there was a bloody hole in his throat.

The whole person was crooked and fell from the horse.

"General, the general is here."

When Cao Jun's personal soldiers saw Cao Jun, they also cheered.

"Order, shield men in front, pikemen in the back, defend in place."

Since the plan to retreat to the fourth junction has failed, he can only choose to stay in place.

The canyon below the pavilion is largely oval-shaped.

There are three narrowest junctions ahead, and two narrower junctions at the back.

It is the five main intersections ordered by Zhuge Liang.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shu army just retreated halfway and were stuck in the most spacious round belly mouth in the middle, and the advantage of the terrain suddenly disappeared, which also invisibly increased the difficulty of defense a lot.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, but this change was not expected by Cao Jun.

I had to take one step at a time.

For now, I can only pin my hope on the 10,000 reinforcements at Gao Xiang.

"Drink ......"

After receiving the order, the Shu soldiers immediately stopped, quickly adjusted the formation, and besieged the city in a circle, with a raised shield in the front row, which was impassable.

Fearful of the cavalry charge of the Wei army, a company arranged three layers of shields.

Between each layer of shields, there were a few pikemen, which were used to attack the cavalry in close quarters.

Cao's army stayed alone outside the formation, waiting for the opportunity to move, and retreated the Wei cavalry that was approaching the Shu army's formation.

The Wei soldiers in the rear kept pouring up, and soon after passing through the slightly spacious passages on both sides, the Shu army was flanked on both sides.

The Shu army was basically infantry, while the vanguard troops of the surrounding Wei army were mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, and there were about several thousand people.

The deputy general in charge of the front-line command saw that the Shu army had been surrounded, and he was not in a hurry, so he hurriedly sent someone to the rear to report to Xu Huang.

In the narrow Jieting Canyon, there was a strange calm.

Cao Jun saw that the Wei army did not take the opportunity to attack, and under the guidance of his own soldiers, he also entered the formation.

Although the outer ring is defended by layers of shields and pikemen, it seems to be indestructible, but once it enters the middle inside, the virtual and real situation of the outer strength and the middle cadre is suddenly exposed to Cao Jun's sight.

A few soldiers who were still able to take care of themselves in bandages sat on the ground in a panic and did not move.

Even if Cao Jun passed by, he couldn't stir up a little wave in their eyes.

Like a living corpse of the walking dead.

And more of them are wounded soldiers lying on the ground moaning and screaming in pain.

Without timely medical treatment, the fate of these wounded soldiers can be imagined.

The blood came out of nowhere, reflecting on the ground, staining the gray-black dirt into a scarlet.

In the slightly more spacious open space in the middle, there was a carriage with a snare drum that I had seen before.

I don't know if I can use it.

The role of the snare drum is mostly used to boost morale, represent courage, and is generally used to kill the enemy during the attack.

The horn is used for retreat.

According to the current situation of the Shu army, it is at the end of the road and embattled.

This snare drum doesn't seem to be needed.

"General, what now?"

After sobering up, Cao Jun also fought for several hours in a row.

He tried hard to hold on to the handrail of the carriage, and after a few breaths of relief, he jumped into the carriage and climbed high to look, except for the rocks embedded in the slopes on both sides, all that was left was the black and oppressive Wei army.

It's hard to fly here.

Reinforcements, will they come?

Cao Jun was not sure in his heart.

Suddenly, I understood the wounded soldier who was lying on the ground with his eyes blank.

I'm going to die, so why bother with all that extra etiquette?

It's just that I'm a little unwilling in my heart!

Cao Jun touched the smooth drum surface and glanced at the last jar of wine resting under the snare drum a few times.

That's all I have, right?

Just when the Shu army was embattled, the Wei army on the periphery suddenly fluctuated.

It turned out that the army led by Sima Yi had arrived.

He was not worried about the battle situation ahead, so he sent his son Sima Zhao to lead 5,000 cavalry to support in advance, and at this moment he was converging with Xu Huang's thousands of soldiers.

For the Shu army in the encirclement, it was definitely not good news.

However, they were blocked by the Wei soldiers who were surrounded by them, and they didn't know this cruel news in their hearts.

After a while, the Wei army in the front row gave way to a passage, and Sima Zhao and Xu Huang rode their horses and came to the forefront side by side, less than a stone's throw away from the defensive position of the Shu army.

Cao Jun stood on the carriage and happened to see the big banner with the words Sima written on it.

And Sima Zhao also seemed to see Cao Jun.

Two groups of people looked at each other from afar.

Sima Zhao seemed to have some interest in Cao Jun, and he turned to Xu Huang and said, "That Shu general in the encirclement is Cao Wenwu, right?" ”

Xu Huang nodded expressionlessly.

It was this person who made him make a fool of himself in front of the two armies, and led to the death of his old friend Zhang He.

This time, he relied on 5,000 Shu troops to block the attack of his 10,000 elite Wei troops for two days and one night, so that he couldn't raise his head in front of Sima Yi, the governor of the Wei army.

With 10,000 against 5,000, although the Shu army had a slight terrain advantage, Xu Huang did not intend to find any reason for himself.

In the current situation, he has already lost.

Sima Zhao said again: "I heard that he has the courage to fly fiercely, and with a loud shout, seven or eight soldiers of our army were frightened and fell off their horses?" Is it true? ”

Xu Huang nodded again, his face even more ugly than just now.

Sima Zhao didn't care about these, but kept looking at the Shu soldiers who were forming a formation in front of him, and finally clapped his hands and said: "The Shu army has become a turtle in an urn, if it is handed over to General Xu Lao's command, how long will it take to break through the enemy formation?" ”

Xu Huang looked at the shield lineup of the Wei army, and just wanted to say, 'You can break through the enemy formation in half a day and annihilate the Shu army.' ’。

Just about to open his mouth, he remembered Cao Wenwu's bravery in front of the two armies, paused, and changed his words: "If you give me 5,000 sergeants, you will definitely be able to take the Shu army within one day." ”

Sima Zhao smiled without saying a word, as if he didn't believe it.

Xu Huang's face suddenly turned red, and he raised his head and shouted firmly: "Tell the Metropolitan Governor for me, the last general is willing to make a military order, and guarantee to break the lineup of the Shu army within one day, if not, he is willing to be dealt with by military law." ”

Sima Zhao didn't dare to make a decision on behalf of his father, and said: "I naturally believe that the old general can do it, but the Shu army is now surrounded by our army, even if he puts on his wings, he can't fly out, I think the old general should not think about how long it will take to take the Shu army, but to take the Shu army at the least cost possible." ”

After Sima Zhao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Huang to answer, he directly patted the horse and left, and put down another sentence before leaving, "General Xu Huang has not rested for two days and one night, and the soldiers are also happy, I will go to see the metropolitan governor first, and the old general can let the soldiers take turns to rest for a day, and there is no need to attack in a hurry." ”

Xu Huang has a very high prestige in the Wei army, which is not comparable to Sima Zhao, a new ding, but behind Sima Zhao, standing is the governor of Cao Wei, the current veteran of the Three Dynasties Sima Yi.

This time Sima Zhao's words, Xu Huang didn't dare not give face.

It's just one more day.

Let Na Shu live another day.

Tomorrow, I will take him on the head of a dog and avenge my old friend Zhang He.

On a nearby high ground, Sima Zhao met Sima Yi, the governor of the Wei army, who was sitting on a piece of cloth spread on the ground, followed by several of his own soldiers.

Looking from here, you can just see the bottom of the valley where Cao's army is located, and the lonely mountain of Ma Tantun's soldiers.

"How? Did you find out the news? Can there be any reinforcements from the Shu army? ”

Seeing Sima Yi's confident look, Sima Zhao couldn't help but remind: "Father, Zhuge Liang's reinforcements are still a few days away, why don't you let them hurry up and eliminate the Shu army and occupy the street pavilion?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head, and didn't look at Sima Zhao, but sighed heavily, and replied regretfully: "Haven't you seen it yet?" ”

"The street pavilion is so important, I can think of it, and Zhuge Liang can also think of it, he will definitely not only send 25,000 Shu troops to guard the street pavilion, with my understanding of him, there must be reinforcements nearby."

After Sima Yi's click, Sima Zhao suddenly realized, and he asked in amazement: "Father wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" ”

Sima Yi laughed dryly twice, and said disapprelicly: "Then Zhuge Liang is a good fisherman, and he has always been good at fishing, and now it's my turn to be a fisherman, right?" ”

Sima Zhao and the others digested the news, and remembered another news they heard along the way, and hurriedly said: "Father, there is something now, but the son feels a little sorry. ”

Sima Yi just glanced at Sima Zhao with his eyes, signaling him to fart quickly.

Sima Zhao remembered the scene when he looked at Cao Jun in the air before, and then said slowly: "I heard that this time the old general Xu Huang's attack was blocked, but it was because the Shu general was too fierce, almost resisted Xu Huang's heavy infantry with the strength of one person, and learned from that fierce Zhang Fei, a roar, roared and broke the courage of seven or eight Wei cavalry, he can not only fight the old general Xu Huang alone without falling behind, but also capture General Zhang He alive, this time was surrounded, but it was a good opportunity." ”

Sima Yi only heard half of it, and then guessed Sima Zhao's thoughts.

"Do you want to persuade the Shu general to surrender?"

"Father, this Shu general is different from other Shu generals, I asked someone, he was a woodcutter on Qingcheng Mountain, his parents are not there, he has no relatives and no hanging, and his surname is Cao, this time he is besieged, if he does not surrender, he will die......"

Before Sima Zhao finished speaking, Sima Yi's face changed, and he hurriedly refused: "It's impossible." ”
