Chapter 498: Within three days, take Fankou
But despite this, Li Dian could not retreat.
Because behind him, his son Li Zhen was leading Sergeant Cao to break through the gap that was finally opened!
"Whoosh!"
The iron whip in Huang Gai's hand, with the sound of whistling wind, smashed heavily towards Li Dian!
As soon as Li Dian used his spear to block his blow, Ling Tong's long knife slashed down from behind!
This time, Li Dian couldn't dodge at all and was slashed on the back.
Although he has armor and body protection, the huge impact makes his eyes black!
However, this is not the end, Han Dang's big knife is cut from the diagonal again!
This knife aimed at the gap in Li Dian's armor and cut directly into his abdomen!
The huge pain made Li Dian can't help but let out a miserable scream!
"Father!"
Seeing this situation, Li Zhen's eyes were split, and he was about to kill the horse back!
Li Dian endured the pain, forced Huang Gai and the three of them back, turned his head and yelled,
"Wu'er retreat quickly, remember to report this matter to General Zhengnan!"
When the words landed, Huang Gai and the three of them forced forward again!
Li Dian reluctantly raised his weapon and resisted hard!
Li Zhenhu had tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Dian's order, so he had to retreat with the remaining soldiers!
In the haze of tears, Li Dian's unyielding body fell from the horse!
……
Cao Jun barracks.
"What?! General Li Dian was ambushed and died in battle?! ”
Sima Yi's face was shocked, and Huo Ran stood up.
"Please also ask General Zhengnan to send troops immediately to avenge my father!"
Li Zhen knelt on the ground, already in tears.
"I am also saddened by Ling Zunzhong's death, but this matter is important and must be taken slowly."
Sima Yi appeased Li Zhen and glanced at Sima Fu and Sima Kui.
The two persuaded Li Zhen and took him away from the Chinese army camp.
As soon as they walked on the front foot, Sima Yi came to the sand table on the back foot, took a closer look at the topographic map, and then paced back and forth restlessly.
"Why didn't General Zhengnan send troops to avenge General Mancheng (Li Dianzi)?"
Lejin, who has always been good friends with Li Dian, gritted his teeth and said.
"Now that we are all in danger of protecting ourselves, how can we avenge the Manchester City general?!"
Sima Yi's face was gloomy and authentic.
In Li Zhen's description, there were at least tens of thousands of enemy troops ambushing the grain transportation team.
With such a large army, it is impossible to hide from Cao Jun's spies and quietly go around to the rear.
If you look at it this way, there is only one possibility, the enemy army is on a warship.
Thinking of this, Sima Yi suddenly remembered the strategy adopted by Yang Ling when he took Changsha County.
The comparison between the two is exactly the same!
It seems that Cao Jun's big victory a few days ago was also deliberately lost by Zhou Yu to himself!
The purpose is to lure Cao Jun deeper, and then cut off his own retreat!
After figuring out the twists and turns in this, Sima Yi's hands and feet were suddenly cold!
I didn't expect that I was cautious again and again, and I still fell for the other party's conspiracy!
"General Wen Qian (Le Jinzi) is a little restless, and the general of Zhengnan is afraid that he has his own arrangements."
Xu Huang knew that Le Jin had a strong temperament, so he hurriedly comforted him a few words, and then said to Sima Yi,
"General Zhengnan, the current situation is ...... for us But it's quite unfavorable. ”
He is also battle-hardened, and he can see that something is wrong at once.
"What do you think we should do?"
Sima Yi took a deep breath and looked at Xu Huangdao.
Xu Huang touched his chin, stared at the sand table for a long time, and said,
"There are only two ways to go now!"
"First, immediately send someone to find a way to inform General Beren in the rear, so that he can send troops to support us and flank the enemy forces behind us on both sides."
Before Sima Yi sent troops, Xiahou Shang sat in Xiajun County and was responsible for the grain and grass work of logistics.
Xu Huang's proposal seems to be feasible.
But the question is, Cao Jun's retreat has been cut off, how to tell Xiahou Shang?
Moreover, the main force of Cao's army was taken away by Sima Yi, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled to Xiahou Shang.
If you want to flank the enemy, how easy is it?
There are Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others in Jiangling, but when they get the news to come over, I am afraid that Sima Yi has already been wiped out!
Therefore, Sima Yi did not express his position, but asked,
"What about the second way?"
"Continue with the original plan and attack Fankou!"
Xu Huang pointed to the location of Fankou on the map, and said in a deep voice,
"The grain and grass in our army is enough for at least three days."
"Let's hide this matter and continue to Fankou."
"As long as the war goes well, take Fankou within three days, it's not a big problem!"
Compared to the first one, this road is all about gambling.
As long as you can win Fankou, everyone will naturally be happy.
But if you can't take Fankou within three days, Sima Yi and his party will have no way to live!
Sima Yi looked at the sand table and didn't speak for a long time.
"General Zhengnan must make a decision early, otherwise after a long time, we will not have a way to live!"
Xu Huang persuaded bitterly.
Sima Yi's face was cloudy, and finally sighed,
"Let's choose the second way!"
It's not that he wants to take a risk, it's just that if he turns around and goes back this time, if he attacks the enemy army in the rear, the retreat of Cao's army will be cut off, so naturally he can't hide it from the top and bottom of the army.
At that point, if the war doesn't go well, the army will easily be defeated!
Compared with the two, Sima Yi decided to attack Fankou!
"General Gongming, you immediately order the army to move out and join General Wen Ze!"
Sima Yi commanded.
"The last general commands!"
Xu Huang arched his hand and left.
According to Sima Yi's order, Cao's army immediately reorganized its troops and began to march in the direction of Fankou.
When they converged with Yu Ban, Yu Ban was also shocked when he knew that the grain road in the rear was cut off.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to Fankou.
Finally, at noon on the second day, Cao's army arrived less than thirty miles away from Fankou!
Sima Yi ordered the army to rest in place and prepare to launch an attack on Fankou the next day!
Not long after the military was set up in place, Le Jin, who was in charge of inquiring about the surrounding situation, suddenly came to Sima Yi's camp.
"General Qi Zhengnan, the last general has just encountered a group of enemy spies nearby."
"After some fighting, I caught a prisoner and brought it over."
Sima Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered,
"Bring them up, I'm going to interrogate them!"
Moments later, a coalition soldier was brought up by the Great Flower.
"If you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, report your origin quickly!"
Sima Yi said sharply.
The soldier was startled, and hurriedly said honestly,
"The villain is a soldier under Uncle Liu's account, and he came to investigate the truth of Cao Jun on the order of Zhuge Junshi."
"Oh? Where are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang? ”
Sima Yi asked again.
"Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Junshi are in Fankou City."
The soldier's eyes flickered.
Sima Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled,
"You little pawn is honest, come on, let him go!"
"General Zhengnan, if you let him go, wouldn't you tell Liu Bei and the others about our situation?"
Le Jin couldn't help but say.
