If Sima Yi was still able to calm down after suffering Chen Cang's consecutive defeats, then when the news of Xinping County came, Sima Yi was completely stunned.

Compared with the lineup around Chencang, it is obvious that the army of Xinping County is much weaker; Not to mention that there are only 40,000 troops, just looking at the generals, what Wei Guohou General Fei Yao, champion general Yang Qiu, cavalry captain Sima Shi, Zhang Ji and others, it is far inferior to the lineup on Chen Cang's side; It was not that Sima Yi looked down on the Xuanwu army led by Zhang Jaw, but because Sima Yi judged that the Han army was unable to attack on two fronts at the same time, at most he let Zhang Jaw engage in a feint, and the main direction of attack must be Chen Cang.

Sima Yi judged half right, the main direction of the Han army's attack was of course Chen Cang; However, with the opening jaw that has nearly doubled the number of troops, and the arrival of the killing god Arnold, he completely has the capital to attack the city and seize the land.

Zhang Jaw, Zhang Yi, and Zhao Guang led the Xuanwu army south, and on March 3, they came to Xinping County; There are many ravines in Xinping County, and the local people play it as "the mountains and ditches are narrow and long, and the two mountains and five ditches are divided into three fields." It is the throat artery connecting Qin Long.

Fei Yao was upright, loyal, and rigorous in governing the army, before Yang Qiu descended to Cao, he was familiar with the terrain in the area of stability and Xinping; If Zhang Jaw really launched a feint attack as Sima Yi judged, it would be safer to send these two generals to garrison Xinping County.

It's a pity that the 20,000 Xuanwu troops didn't come to Xinping to play soy sauce; Open jaw to use soldiers, changeable, proficient in formation, good use of terrain; Wang Jun put Zhang Yi and Zhao Guang under him, and also hoped that the two young generals could learn more.

After the army arrived outside the city of Tan Binh County, Zhang Jaw did not attack the city or set up a fortress; The black-pressed Xuanwu army rested on the spot after the formation, and only more than a thousand soldiers were busy; Zhang Yi and Zhao Guang rode their horses close to the city wall to provoke.

Seeing that there were not many Han soldiers and horses outside the city, Fei Yao, Yang Qiu and other Wei generals were full of confidence; Open jaw to rule the army's bull's nose, they think they are not much different; Unlike other cities, Xinping County is surrounded by dangerous peaks on both sides, and Jingshui pours down from the high mountains on the east side, running through the entire county, and only needs to defend one city wall; For the Wei army, it seems that it is not much difficult to defend the city wall of more than 1 kilometer with 40,000 troops, plus countless large and small bows and crossbows.

As for the Han army's request for a challenge...... Fei Yao was arrested by Wang Jun, and knew that it was easy to get out of the demon moth when he was alone with the Han army, so of course he ignored the provocations of Zhang Yi and Zhao Guang; In fact, for the sake of safety, Fei Yao blocked the north gate with a large number of stones, and it seemed that it was also very difficult to fight.

Inside and outside the city, the two sides did not interfere with each other, and the situation of peace and quiet remained until the afternoon.

"Whew!"

In the long sound of the horn, the Han army began to move, and some strange objects were pushed by the Han army to move slowly; The Xuanwu Army, the defense of both hands as the core of the army, more than 1,000 soldiers who have been busy for most of the day, are all carpenters, specializing in making all kinds of siege equipment.

Four timber-framed objects, mainly made of logs, lean against each other to form a huge inclined ladder-shaped building; The side facing the wall is 6 meters high and 6 meters wide from the ground; On the reverse side, it is only 0.5 meters high and 6 meters wide, and if you look at it from the side, the bottom of the side is 24 meters long...... Because it was so long, the soldiers could only make it into four parts, which was also easy to move.

Dressed in black and black armor, the Xuanwu army was like a dark cloud, slowly approaching the county seat of Xinping; The Wei army hurriedly prepared rockets, fire oil and other items, although the siege equipment of the Xuanwu army was a little strange, but as long as it was made of wood, it was right to attack with fire.

For Xinping County, Jingshui, which runs through the whole city, is the source of life for the entire city; In the city, less than 1 kilometer away from the north city wall, a human head suddenly appeared in Jingshui, which was tens of meters wide...... Soggy Arnold, slowly walked up the riverbank.

Because of the terrain, the difference between Jingshui and water is very large, in many areas, ordinary people can't swim or row, and the Wei army is not worried that the Xuanwu army will go downstream; Swimming, as the terminator, Arnold really can't, but "diving" is completely okay; Without breathing, Arnold dived directly to the bottom of the river and walked all the way upstream, leaving no one to notice.

Fei Yao and Yang Qiu didn't look nervous at all, and their eyes were full of mockery when they looked outside the city.

The Xuanwu army pushed a few big guys and approached slowly, and his movements were very slow; At this rate, the equipment at the front may be ignited by the defenders' rockets before it reaches the city wall, so what good can it be? The Wei soldiers on the tower of the city had made all the preparations, just waiting for the Xuanwu army to push the siege equipment into range.

A few minutes later, Fei Yao and Yang Qiu finally understood that the Xuanwu army didn't care about the Wei army's fire attack at all, because the Wei army on the city tower was busy fleeing for their lives......

There were still aquatic plants and river mud hanging on his body, and Arnold wielded a huge plate axe with one hand, and killed all the way up the city tower from the rear; The city tower, which is more than 4 meters wide, has become Arnold's runway, and he is like a rhinoceros, from north to south, and then from south to north, cleaning the Wei soldiers, bed crossbows, fire oil, etc. on the city tower; Fei Yao and Yang Qiu, who retreated from the city tower in a hurry, had a blue face, and constantly organized the soldiers to rush up to the city tower, no matter what, someone needed to snipe the Xuanwu army outside the city, otherwise when they rushed up to the city tower with their jaws open, the situation would be difficult to manage.

The city tower is more than 1 kilometer long, and when there is no one to stop it, it only takes 50 seconds for Arnold to run a single trip; The Wei soldiers poured into the city from many places, which did add a lot of trouble to Arnold, but it was only trouble; Even slashing and colliding, Arnold can still rush and kill in 2 minutes.

Under the inner city wall, a large number of Wei soldiers gathered; They looked up at Arnold, who was slaughtering his colleagues above, and their hearts were cold, with more than a dozen crossbow arrows on their bodies, and they were also hit by a lot of knives, but the one-armed killing god was still fierce...... In fact, most of the soldiers have lost the courage to rush to the tower.

At this time, a "dark cloud" suddenly appeared in the sky above the bloody and chaotic city tower; It was not the last straw that crushed the camel, but 2,000 cold and ruthless black arrow feathers.

Without the threat of strong crossbows on the city tower, the 2,000 longbowmen of the Xuanwu Army ran safely to the combat position; The arrow feathers dyed black, as soon as ** lifted into the air, the black storm instantly covered the inner side of the city tower, and gradually extended inward; As for the towers, it is enough to have Arnold......

The Wei soldiers, who had been intimidated by Arnold and had weak feet, left their corpses on the ground and retreated desperately.

"Boom! ……”

After four muffled sounds in a row, the black-armored and black-shielded Xuanwu soldiers swarmed up along the "slope" that was 6 meters wide...... On the city tower, the golden dragon Chinese character banner is raised high, marking that the north city tower of Tan Binh County has changed owners.

Fei Yao and Yang Qiu, who retreated to 300 meters away, did not choose to flee with their troops, but quickly reorganized their troops and prepared to fight to the death in the city; To tell the truth, these two brothers actually wanted to run away, but when Arnold killed the city tower, Sima Shi and Zhang Ji, two enthusiastic 2B youths, bravely killed Arnold ......; Zhang Ji said that the son of the late Liangzhou Assassin Zhang Ji, Fei Yao and Yang Qiu, can still carry it, but Sima Shi, this is Sima Yi's son...... Sima Yi, who lost the city, the army, and his son, had all kinds of reasons to cut off the heads of Fei Yao and Yang Qiu.

In a sense, Fei Yao and Yang Qiu, they can only choose to fight to the death.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, but this requires a premise, that is, the Lord will die or take the lead in running away; As the main general, Fei Yao was fearless and determined to fight to the death, which greatly encouraged the Wei soldiers who lost the city tower. Although some men and horses were lost at the city tower, the 40,000 Wei troops did not reach the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and they could still fight; It's just that if the Wei army chooses to fight in a narrow city, the Wei army will not be able to give full play to its superiority in strength, and the crossbowmen in the army are basically lost in the area of the city tower............

The open jaw who climbed the city tower was quite surprised, the Wei army did not retreat after losing the city tower, obviously, their main general was very backbone; The problem is that wars are fought not only by backbone, but also by tactics and equipment.

In terms of equipment, the Xuanwu army was armed to the teeth.

The 4.5-meter long spear, the Xuanwu ring head short knife, the black square shield, and the black heavy armor are the equipment of most soldiers in the Xuanwu Army.

Long spear, hard wood body, light weight and a certain hardness; The spear head is extremely special, Wang Jun asked to be built according to the appearance of the three-edged army thorn in later generations, with a blood groove, and the weight is smaller than the various fancy spear heads of this period, but the lethality is extremely terrifying, and a poke is a blood hole.

The Xuanwu ring head short knife is the same length as the Suzaku ring head knife, only 80 cm long, but it is much thicker; The design idea also takes into account the need not only to chop, but also to be able to stab; When building the Xuanwu Army, Wang Jun considered combining the characteristics of the Roman hoplites with the characteristics of the Spartan warriors, and the idea of weapon configuration naturally followed this routine.

The black square shield and black heavy armor were thicker and heavier than the shield armor of the same period; Take the square shield as an example, the four-layer structure, the outer layer is metal, the second layer is wood, the third layer is cowhide, and the innermost layer is wood, in addition, there is a small hole in the side of the square shield, which is used as a gun...... If you encounter the enemy's cavalry, put the guns and shields on the ground, the first two rows will not let go, and the third row will release the soldiers, which can effectively defend the enemy cavalry from charging into formation, and the loss of personnel is small.

The black heavy armor is actually a covered helmet and a half-body armor, which is mainly due to the problem of the weight of the soldiers; In general, the Xuanwu heavy infantry, sacrificing speed and agility, gained a strong defense and terrifying attack power, and when used with flexible longbowmen, it was suitable for both attack and defense.

Things are always difficult to perfect, for example, the big turtle on the shield and the small turtle in the head of the handle of the knife, Wang Jun always feels that it is a big failure...... On the contrary, they prefer to open their jaws, Xuanwu, long-lived.

Tactically, the Han army and the Wei army were not of the same grade.

Take, for example, street fighting; The Han army was the first army in the world to put forward the theory of street fighting and conduct street combat training during this period. Different from field battles or siege battles, street battles are more about fighting with small armies and many small skills; Not to mention the Wei army, it is the Han army, at the beginning, a group of generals did not understand, it was enough to slash and kill after entering the city, did it need to be so troublesome?

The battle in Xinping City, with the blood of the Wei army, proved the value of the Han army's street combat training.

The Wei army only had a scarce number of bows and crossbows, which basically had little impact on the Xuanwu army, and the thick shield provided a good guarantee for the Xuanwu soldiers; On the streets of different widths, small units of the Xuanwu army with longbowmen advanced slowly but surely with a tight shield formation.

The Wei army scattered throughout the city shook the sky with the sound of killing; In terms of numbers, they are more than the Xuanwu army, and in terms of morale, they are not weaker than the Xuanwu army; Looking down from above, on the streets, the Wei army was dense, like a flood that opened the floodgates, rushing to the black shield array.

The thick black blood flowed slowly on the street, slowly pouring into the rushing water, forming a scene of red and yellow; The shield array formed by the Xuanwu army, like an iron gate falling from a ditch, was silent, unbreakable despite the flood; The shouts and killings are all from the Wei army, and the screams are basically from the Wei army, and the Xuanwu army is just advancing and advancing again.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the blood is new and flat.

Fei Yao's face sank like water, slowly got off the war horse, and took the halberd handed over by the guard; The narrow streets were littered with corpses, almost all of them their own soldiers...... Fei Yao didn't want to think about why, he just wanted to take more than 100 guards around him to fight for the last time in his life, and the black Xuanwu shield array in front of him was stepping on the corpse, slowly approaching.

"Kill!"

Fei Yao roared in unison with more than 100 guards, and rushed to the Xuanwu Shield Array a hundred meters away.

The Xuanwu army fights, only hands, silent; First, dozens of Black Feather Flying Arrows shot out from the shield array, and after two waves, dozens of spears flew out......

Fei Yao was pierced through his chest by a spear, his body was supported by the barrel of the spear and did not fall, and the last scene reflected in his pupils was the last dozens of guards, who were stabbed by spears one by one in front of the Xuanwu shield array, without any chance to resist; Compared to Yang Qiu being killed by Arnold in a dead alley, Fei Yao's death was not worth it, and he didn't even know who killed him.

In the Battle of Xinping, Fei Yao, Yang Qiu, Sima Shi and other generals were killed, and 40,000 Wei troops only fled back to less than 20,000 horses; Xuanwu Black Armor has since become famous.

No one knew that Wang Jun was actually not satisfied with this battle of Xinping...... for there were not many captives; The topography of Xinping County determined that Zhang Jaw could not be encircled, and the heavy Xuanwu army could not catch up with the Wei army that ran lightly.

Sima Yi, who suffered a lot, had to give up Wugong County and Fufeng County, shrink his troops on all fronts, and return to Chang'an City.

By March 8, the main forces of the Xuanwu and Yulin armies would join Fufeng County; The territory of Yongzhou west of Chang'an is owned by Wang Jun...... Except for an unexpected area, it is located in Wuzhangyuan, east of Chencang and south of Weishui.

The reason is very simple, because of Wang Jun's intervention in the struggle for hegemony, Zhuge Liang couldn't hold back, and he came to Wuzhangyuan 5 years earlier than in history.

Because the two counties of Yinping and Wudu were in the hands of Wang Jun, and Dasanguan was also occupied by Wang Jun, Zhuge Liang could only lead 50,000 Shu troops out of the Qinling Mountains from the Xiegu Valley and occupy Yi County south of Weishui; I have to say that Zhuge Liang grasped the timing of the robbery with fire very well, if Wang Jun is the aboriginal of this world, there is no special means, and the black knife will be stabbed solidly.

As long as the Weishui is crossed, the Shu army can attack Chencang in the west and fight martial arts in the east; Even if you don't cross the Weishui, you can fight east along the north side of the Qinling Mountains, and you can go all the way to Chang'an; Moreover, most of the people in Guanzhong live south of Weishui, and Zhuge Liang's abacus can be described as a crackling sound.

Normally, in order to ensure the security of the rear, the Han army would be forced to garrison a large number of troops in Chencang, Fufeng County, and other cities in between; However, even with the newly acquired surrendered troops, Wang's army only had more than 80,000 troops on the Eastern Front, and it was enough to distribute them; Don't forget, 16 kilometers away from Fufeng County, is the West Gate of Chang'an, but there are more than 120,000 Wei troops inside!

In fact, in order to concentrate troops to conquer Chang'an, the cities recently conquered by the Han army have left a small number of troops to garrison, if Zhuge Liang moves quickly, maybe Chencang, Wugong and other cities will be taken by the Shu army.

For the old man Zhuge , Wang Jun was already bored, if it wasn't for Cao Ying's suggestion that the strategy of taking Guanzhong first was better, Wang Jun really wanted to destroy Shu first...... As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die.

After receiving the news, Wang Jun immediately asked Deng Zhi to take 10,000 Yulin cavalry to the west along Weishui and rushed to the north bank of Weishui in Wuzhang Plain to monitor and block the Shu army from crossing the river; The foot soldiers of the Yulin Army and the main force of the Xuanwu Army stayed in Fufeng County to prevent the Wei army from taking the opportunity to counterattack; And Wang Jun himself, with Ada and the dragon cannon guards, crossed Weishui and rushed west along the south bank of Weishui.

On March 9, all 50,000 Shu troops finally arrived at Wuzhangyuan; Although the timing of the expedition was good, the plank road was narrow and only allowed one carriage to pass, so the army marched slowly and wasted a lot of time.

Deng Zhi arrived first, and the 10,000 Yulin cavalry were divided into 5 teams, which were distributed on the bank of the river between Chencang and Wugong to patrol and guard; Zhuge Liang is more jealous of the huge number of Yulin cavalry, don't look at the Shu army coming 50,000, but they are basically foot soldiers, this plain is targeted by 10,000 cavalry, but there is no good time. Whether it was based on strategic considerations or the threat of the Han army's large cavalry, in short, the Shu army did not choose to cross the river; The Weishui, which is nearly 300 meters wide, has become a good natural barrier, and the Shu army immediately set up camp on the south bank; First stand on his feet, then expand to the east and west, and gradually control the south bank of Weishui, Zhuge Liang made up his mind to take root here, sit and watch the Han and Wei armies merge, and choose the opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory.

By the time Wang Jun arrived near Wuzhangyuan, it was already starry at night.

Since the start of the Battle of Guanzhong, the Han army has killed a total of 28,700 enemies, plus the night attack on Hanzhong earned 6.5 surname points, Wang Jun increased 293.5 surname points; after some distribution, more than 100 surnames have almost doubled, and Wang Jun, whose personal strength has skyrocketed again, originally planned to quickly take Chang'an, and take advantage of the situation to capture Tongguan and other checkpoints, ending the Guanzhong Campaign——

Wang Jun, who had long regarded the Guanzhong Plain as his own territory, had already considered the problem of agriculture; It is spring, and the sooner the campaign is over, the sooner we can organize the people and the army in the territory to carry out spring ploughing and resume production; However, the old man Zhuge suddenly made a black hand, causing the Han army to suspend its plan to attack Chang'an...... In short, the Wang army, who rushed to Wuzhangyuan, is now very unhappy.

The solid walled gate, the ditch with a width of 4 meters and a depth of 4 meters, and the rejection of horses all over the outside of the wall, all show how hard the Shu army has worked in the past two days; On the nearly 4-meter-high wooden battlements, the Shu army on night vigilantly observed the outside of the wall, and every 50 meters, there was a huge bed crossbow; A team of soldiers patrolling the night, shuttling through the camp with torches, and the prime minister was in person, and everyone was in good spirits.
