Kou Feng, although in Zhang Xi's eyes, is basically equivalent to a Erha. But just talking about Kou Feng's personality does not mean that Kou Feng is like a second ha in leading troops to fight.

Kou Feng's personality does have problems, sometimes he doesn't think about the consequences, he is easy to offend people when he talks and acts, and his mind is not particularly sober, but this is just Kou Feng's daily life.

Therefore, a person like Meng Da can win Kou Feng's trust with some rhetoric, but when he really wants to fight, Kou Feng also has his own set of abilities.

If Kou Feng is really just a reckless man, Zhuge Liang in history doesn't have to worry about Kou Feng's "easy world and difficult to control", and provoked Liu Bei to kill Kou Feng.

If you really want to fight, Kou Feng can tell the difference, when to be reckless and when to be restrained.

At the beginning, he rushed to the front line to fight, it was a surprise, and it was also to quickly open the gap, but once the enemy defenders stabilized the defensive line, then Kou Feng would not continue to wave, and he would never hesitate when it was time to retreat to the command of the Chinese army.

This is just Kou Feng's combat style, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what he should do as the commander of the first army.

And Cao Zhen, he is really a little uncomfortable with Kou Feng's style of playing, which is a fierce fight for a while, and a contraction of command for a while.

It's really not that Cao Zhen can't do it, it's mainly that the military experience and experience of the two sides are completely different.

Kou Feng followed Liu Bei, and most of the battles he fought were fought with less, and Kou Feng was not a general who was good at commanding like Zhang Xi and others, so for Kou Feng, fighting hard and crushing the opponent as soon as he came up was the most effective means he could use.

But Cao Zhen is different, Cao Zhen has been mixed in Cao Wei's army system since the beginning of his army, and the most important thing he lacks is troops.

Therefore, Cao Zhen's combat style is relatively orthodox, and he is good at pressing step by step, overwhelming people with momentum, and seeking victory in the war with team command.

Therefore, Kou Feng's sudden change of rhythm and fierce fighting style was quite uncomfortable for Cao Zhen to deal with.

In addition, Cao Zhen really has few troops this time, and he wants to rely on command to maintain the defense line is somewhat stretched, which leads to Cao Zhen's style of play, so he can only try his best to maintain it and barely support it.

After holding out for three days, Cao Zhen finally couldn't support it anymore, and chose to retreat while fighting in advance, retreating in the direction of the Bao Slope Road Pass, hoping to block Kou Feng's onslaught with the help of the defense of the Bao Slope Road Pass.

But at this time, Meng Da had already gone around behind Cao Zhen and began to attack the pass of the Bao Slope Road.

Meng Da was very clear about his purpose, and at the same time, he also knew that although Cao Zhen returned to the army to rescue Chang'an, it was impossible for him to be defenseless at the Baochuan crossing.

Therefore, the first thing Meng Da did when he arrived at the Bao Slope Crossing was not to attack the key pass, but to set fire to it along the mountain, making a very big noise, and informing Zhao Yun and Chen Dao who were in the Bao Slope Crossing.

If he could, Meng Da hoped that Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun in the Bao Chap Pass would take the lead in attacking, and then he would attack from behind, so that he could capture the Bao Chaser Pass with as little loss as possible for his side.

But the problem is that there are no such advanced means of communication in this era, although Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi saw a fire on the mountain pass on the outside of the Bao Slope Road, but the communication efficiency of these years is not enough for the two people in the Bao Slope to know the changes in Guanzhong now Out of caution, neither of them rashly launched an attack on the Bao Slope Crossing.

Now Meng Da was a little anxious.

Meng Da was not sure how long Kou Feng could hold Cao Zhen back, and he made a detour to the Baoxie crossing, and he was not sure how much time he could use to attack the city, and Meng Da didn't know who the defenders of the Baoxie Pass were. So much uncertainty made Meng Da very hesitant to attack immediately.

Attack, there are not many soldiers brought by his side, if Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi in the Bao Slope Road do not cooperate, or say that the troops are late, and the army is disabled on their side, they may not be able to capture these passes.

Why don't you attack?!

After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Da gritted his teeth and decided to attack.

Only by attacking can you have a chance to gain fame, and if you don't attack, you may not even have a way back to retreat. Meng Da and Kou Feng had already gone too deep into the pass, and now they were going back, the road was too far, and they could be chased by Cao Jun at any time.

Let's just give it a shot.

Meng Da made a decision and commanded 7,000 soldiers under his command to launch an attack on part of the Cao army camp on the outside of the Bao Chuan Road.

And Cao Zhen's deputy general who stayed at the Baochuan crossing to monitor Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi was Xiahou Ru.

Xiahou Ru is Xiahou Shang's younger brother and can be regarded as a general of the Cao Wei clan, but unlike Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Ru was a Sima under Cao Zhang's command in his early years.

Later, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and Cao Zhang's military power was deprived, not to mention Xiahou Ru.

In this case, Xiahou Ru was sent to the west by Cao Pi and made Cao Zhen his lieutenant.

In terms of ability, Xiahou Ru is actually not bad, but the ability is such a thing, you are afraid of comparing with anyone.

Don't talk about Cao Zhen, even compared with Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Ru is a grade behind, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in his hands, Xiahou Ru was half of his own family, Cao Zhenzhen would not let Xiahou Ru nail at the praising slope crossing.

And Cao Zhen's order to Xiahou Ru is also very simple, during the period when he led the troops to rescue Chang'an, Xiahou Ru commanded the various dangerous and walled passes at the Baochuan crossing, and it was okay to hold on to it, and he really didn't expect Xiahou Ru to break the enemy.

Originally, Xiahou Ru did the same, and Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi couldn't keep attacking, so it was important to take a little rest, so during this time, Xiahou Ru was actually not a big test.

However, Meng Da came, still from behind Xiahou Ru, and he also launched a fierce attack on the walled city of Bao Slope Road.

Xiahou Ru suddenly became a little tired of coping.

First, the walled pass built at the Bao Slope Pass, the main object of defense is Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi in the Bao Slope Road, the preparation for the enemy in the rear is insufficient, and some defensive measures are not aimed at the rear, resulting in a rather passive defense.

Both, Xiahou Ru's level is like that, he should be a deputy, it's okay to assist the chief general in handling affairs, let him be in charge, he really doesn't have this ability.

Therefore, in the face of Meng Da's onslaught, Xiahou Ru seemed to be a little at a loss and took care of one or the other.

But fortunately, after Cao Ren, the walled passes built by Cao Zhen's two generations of guards are basically built in dangerous places, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so although Xiahou Ru's level is not enough, but if he only defends according to the danger, for a while, Meng Da will not be able to easily break through these passes.

Although Xiahou Ru was very embarrassed, he was still reluctant to hold on after all.

Meng Da attacked for five days in a row, although he also had some successes, and broke through the camps of two dangerous places, but the entire pass defense of the Baochuan Road was a complete set of walled city defense groups, if it could not completely penetrate these walled city groups and meet the army of Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, it would be meaningless.

And for five days, Meng Dazhen didn't know what was going on behind him, whether Kou Feng was still dragging Cao Zhen, once Cao Zhen led the troops back to the Baochuan crossing, Meng Da was not sure if he still had a chance to break through these walled passes.

Meng Da was a little reluctant to attack for another day, and if he still couldn't get through these pass camps tomorrow, then simply retreat, converge with Kou Feng, and find a way to get out of the hinterland of Guanzhong.

It's better than throwing your life here.

Munda has never been a man of perseverance, he always thinks of a way out before attacking, and he does not risk a strong attack. But this time, he held on for at least one more day.

It was this extra day of offensive time that brought Meng Da an unexpected gain.

Originally, Meng Da's five-day attack had already caused a lot of movement, and Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, who were in the Bao Slope Road, both received the news.

Although I don't know why there are people attacking in the rear of Cao Wei's defenders, it doesn't look like a trick to lure the enemy from the tired defensive posture of the Cao army on the opposite side. Therefore, Zhao Yun discussed with Chen Zhi, and he led 5,000 troops to fight to deal with possible friendly forces and attack the Baochuan crossing, and Chen Zhi was responsible for responding.

After all, the total number of soldiers under Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun is only 10,000, and during this time, they have been fighting with Cao Ren and Cao Zhen non-stop, and the battle damage is not small, Zhao Yun took 5,000 people out to fight at once, which is already quite risky.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun leading the troops, Chen Zhi would probably be reluctant to do this. White soldiers are very precious, strong combat power is one thing, and training costs money on the other.

But Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun are people who know each other's roots, know each other's characteristics of using troops, Chen Zhi knows Zhao Yun's ability very well, and also knows that Zhao Yun will not have a hot brain, so it is the best choice for him to send troops and respond by himself.

In this way, on the last day of Meng Da's attack, Zhao Yun led his troops to kill from the Bao Slope Road, and cooperated with Meng Da to attack Xiahou Ru at the Bao Slope Road Crossing before and after.

Xiahou Ru was already very difficult to deal with a Meng Da, and this killed another Zhao Yun. Don't talk about Xiahou Ru, if you put Cao Zhen in this position, he is enough to choke.

After Meng Da attacked for six days in a row, he finally got the advice of the friendly army, and this friendly army was particularly fierce, as soon as he came out, he directly broke through the blocking of the two camps, between Meng Da and the friendly army, there was only a gap between the three camps, and they could even see each other's banners.

Meng Da immediately knew that the achievement was today.

Meng Da, who was overjoyed, immediately invested all his soldiers and increased the frontal attack, and Zhao Yun on the opposite side also cooperated quite tacitly, not caring about the enemy troops in other directions at all, only trying to open the passage and connect the two armies in front and rear.

Faced with such a situation, Xiahou Ru desperately commanded his soldiers to block, but it was only for a while. Towards evening, Meng Da finally commanded his soldiers to break through the last camp between him and Zhao Yun, and completely opened the Cao army camp pass at the Baochuan crossing.

With the fall of the last camp, Xiahou Ru also knew that the general trend had gone, so he no longer chose to stick to the remaining camps, and after collecting some of the remnants, he directly led the troops to withdraw from the Baochuan crossing and retreat in the direction of Chang'an.

It's really not that he Xiahou Ru is afraid of death, there must be someone, go and report the news of the loss of Baochuan Road to Cao Pi in Chang'an
