The First Night of the Death of the Settled Mountain (4)
Dingjun Shandong siege, with the arrival of Xiahou Yuan's troops, the offensive of the Shu army gradually weakened. However, looking back at the south, there was a fierce battle on the south side, and the Shu army had already attacked the mountain. Zhang He was hesitating whether to save him, but Huang Zhi had to stop him. Although he also had a lot of reluctance in his heart, this was not an emotional moment. Whether it is to preserve the strength of the Wei army or for the East China Sea team, he must make the right choice.
At that time, Zhang He was a general of Dangkou, and his rank was lower than that of Huang Zhi's counselor, and Huang Zhi also served as the military advisor of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west, so he was restrained by it, so he was ordered to wait for the opportunity to retreat east.
Although he was familiar with this history, Sima Fuqiang, who was immersed in the scene, still felt so powerless. History books cannot write down every military order of the two sides, every troop movement, and everything depends on the on-the-spot command. And they are facing the Shu Han mastermind Fa Zheng, who was rated by Chen Shou as a "strange painting strategy". Obviously, the three stinkers of the East Sea team are still slightly inferior.
Fa Zheng's division of ten roads was not only to make the Wei army unable to protect the antlers, but its plan was far-reaching, and even considered how to block the Wei army's breakthrough. Only when the army of Xiahou Yuan was completely annihilated in Dingjun Mountain, the Shu army could go all the way unimpeded, out of Hanzhong, and take Guanzhong.
No matter how Sima Fuqiang deployed his troops, he was always blocked back by one of the Ten Shu Army, and he couldn't find a way to live, and he was about to live up to Xiahou Yuan's expectations and bury all the Wei troops here.
Huang Zhi's eyes were red as he stared at the southern foot of Dingjun Mountain, where the flames were raging and the battle was nearing its end, and the Shu army had completely suppressed the remaining half of Xiahou Yuan's Hanzhong army with superior forces.
"Let's do the opposite, let's go northwest!" He turned his head to look at Sima Fuqiang and said what he thought.
"Go to Yangpingguan?" Sima Fuqiang suddenly realized.
He previously studied the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "The Biography of Zhang He" always has a rather incomprehensible question, that is, one of the sentences, "Yuan is gone, and Yang Ping is returned." ”
The role of Yangping Pass is to resist the Shu army in the west, and once the Shu army passes the Yangping Pass and enters the Hanzhong Basin where Dingjun Mountain is located, it basically curbs the possibility of Cao's army going south through the Xiegu, and at the same time also obtains the opportunity to go north to Guanzhong from the Xiegu.
Guyang Pingguan is located in the northwest of Dingjun Mountain, that is, Wuhou Town, Mian County, Hanzhong City in the real world. It stands to reason that Liu Bei's army came out of Yangping Pass and crossed the water to the south to attack Junshan, and this generation should belong to the territory of the Shu army.
The Xiegu Road is located in the east of Dingjun Mountain, is the passage connecting the Guanzhong Plain and the Hanzhong Basin, passing through Taibai County in the Zhongnan Mountain on the way, the south entrance is called "Bao", that is, the Baocheng Town in the north of modern Hanzhong City, the north entrance is Meixian County, between Baoji City and Xianyang City.
The two directions are diametrically opposed, which raises a puzzling question as to why Zhang He's defeated army did not retreat to the Guanzhong Plain via the Xiegu in the direction of Hanzhong, but instead returned to the enemy's land, Yangping Pass, becoming a lone army under siege.
The ancients always cherished ink like gold when writing history, so that they left a lot of puzzles for future generations to have to repeatedly examine, and there was still no final decision. Just like the tomb of Cao Ying in Anyang, its authenticity may still be found out by the dreamer himself.
At this time, Huang Zhi said as soon as he said it, and immediately let him figure it all out. The reason is that Zhang He did the opposite, since Fa Zheng did not let the Wei army escape back to Hanzhong, then counterattacking his Yangping Pass is. Fa Zheng has brought all the Shu troops to surround Dingjun Mountain, and the Yangping Pass must be empty and empty, and it is not difficult to take it.
There is a river flowing between Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain, and the south entrance of Xiegu Road "Bao" is also north of Shuishui. In this way, Zhang He's army, which has Yangping Pass, can be attacked and retreated, and the Shu army can be blocked on the south bank of the water, and can retreat east to the valley at any time according to the situation.
I don't know if the people in the dream once again took the credit of the ancients, or if history should have left their footprints, Huang Zhi immediately issued a new order to Zhang He to break through to the northwest with all his might. And that direction also happened to be the weakest link in the Ten Routes Shu Army, and the people in the dream were also the first to follow, closely following Zhang He's side, breaking through with a sharp arrow formation.
Zhang He is also a generation of famous generals with wisdom and bravery, who is skillful and changeable, and has followed Han Fu and Yuan Shao. In the battle of Guandu, he repeatedly offered advice, but it was not used by Yuan Shao, otherwise history would inevitably change.
Don't look at him as a general now, soon a year later, he was awarded the position of General Zuo by Cao Pi. Later, in 228, he defeated Ma Tan at Jieting, causing Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition to be abandoned halfway. In the end, the official worshiped the general of the Western Che Cavalry, and Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban were called the five good generals of Cao Wei, and wrote a biography in Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms".
Zhang He is known as the body of the five good generals, because "the hands, feet and heads are lost, but the torso lasts forever." "He was the last of the five good generals to survive. In 231, after Sima Yi repelled Zhuge Liang's Fourth Northern Expedition, he accidentally died of a stray arrow. In other words, he still has a long fate with the East China Sea team.
At this time, fighting side by side, there is nothing more impressive than this comradeship of blood and fire. In Zhang He's opinion, although the strength of these pro-soldiers and generals who advised the doctors and soldiers was not very good, they were not worse than ordinary captains, but they owed some heat.
Sima Fuqiang's shield is used well, but the attack is relatively poor, and the impact is obviously insufficient, which can be to protect the flanks. The waning moon is a long-handled hammer, and the foot combat is acceptable, but the horse battle is unstable because of the unstable lower plate, but some of them cannot be used. In the same way, Xiaofeng's "agility" is also suitable for foot combat, and he is basically impossible to play on a horse. But if these two people want to abandon their horses and go to fight on foot, Sima Fuqiang refused, after all, when the army was fighting, the strength of the individual was too small, and he might be gone with a knife in the back.
On the other hand, Huang Ying and Wuyang, who have not been inconspicuous, are more suitable for horse warfare, they are both sharp weapons for horse warfare, and with the suppression of the upper skill rank, they are invincible against ordinary soldiers.
Zhang Wei's claws were even more useless, and he also used a bow and arrows like Huang Zhi and Li Sha, and temporarily became a horse archer. However, its accuracy is really poor, after all, riding and archery is also quite difficult, even Huang Zhi has only recently mastered this skill. However, Zhang Wei once again highlighted his talent in arranging troops at this time. Seeing that each person played a different role in the Blade Formation, he immediately made adjustments.
"Huang Ying went to the right hand of General Jun Yi, and Wuyang went to the left. Ma Qiang protects the outside of the yellow warbler, and the waning moon protects the afternoon sun. The rest of them shoot arrows! ”
Among the rest of the people, except for Zhang Wei, who has no "archery" skills, the other three happen to have them. Once the new formation is adjusted, the impact of this "sharp arrow" will immediately go up a notch.
Huang Ying had a captain who could be completely trusted to protect her, so she gave up her defense and exerted the power of the second spear in her hand to the extreme, which was also the first time she let go of the attack since she entered the dream world. It is estimated that there are some ideas at work here, although she understands Sima Fuqiang very well, but she is somewhat dissatisfied with this guy's machismo. She wants to show her abilities with all her strength in front of this man, so that he knows that this woman can also share the responsibility for him.
On the other side, the Pu knife of the afternoon sun and the hammer of the waning moon also complement each other. As long as the waning moon relied on the power of the hammer to knock away the surrounding attacking weapons, Wuyang immediately grabbed the air attack and swung his knife to slash, but its efficiency was much higher than that of Huang Ying.
The four bows in the back were under Zhang Wei's command, tilting their firepower to the most dense blocking place in front at any time, relieving the pressure that several people on the tip of the line would face.
The Shu army has many soldiers but few generals, and it is impossible to have famous generals on every road to prevent Zhang He from breaking through. Under the combined impact of Zhang He and the Donghai team, the defense line of the Shu army that turned from offensive to defensive was quickly chiseled out. Zhang He led most of the Wei army in the east to penetrate the defense line of the Shu army and successfully broke through.
