In the second year of Zhangwu, in mid-November, before the dispersal.

Zhao Yun led 20,000 Yongliang troops to confront Sun Li before the dispersal of the pass, and it had been a month and a half.

In this month and a half, Zhao Yun launched five attacks, but with little success.

The guards of the scattered pass will be Sun Li's defense tightly, and he will never be greedy for merit, and he will never go to war. Zhao Yun was limited by the lack of troops, and there was really no good way to take Sun Li.

And by the middle of November, Zhao Yun calculated the time, and it should be time for Wei Yan to lead his troops to raid Chen Cangdao.

At this time, Zhao Yuncai convened the generals in the army and held a military meeting.

At this meeting, Zhao Yuncai told Zhang Yi and Wang Ping the real strategic purpose, and at the same time, Zhao Yun demanded that Wang Ping must be ready to fight within three days, and strive to cross the mountains around Sanguan and go deep behind Sanguan before the end of November.

First, cut off the previous connection between Sanguan and Chang'an, and block the grain and grass supply line of Sanguan.

The two did everything possible to intercept the Wei army of Sanguan or Chen Cangdao, and did not let them easily return to aid Meixian.

This is something that only the 3,000 Wudang Flying Army under Wang Ping can do.

As for the other soldiers, from tomorrow onwards, they will continue to storm Sanguan to create pressure on Sun Li, so that he will not be able to draw some troops to organize reinforcements.

Wang Ping's whole person's spirit suddenly came up. It turns out that the general does not use my plan, but uses it at the most critical moment.

This kind of work of going deep behind enemy lines, cutting off the enemy's food routes, and intercepting the enemy's advance was originally the purpose of forming an army without flying troops, and now it can finally show its skills on the battlefield.

Wang Ping was full of expectations for this battle, while other generals, such as Zhang Yi, Hao Zhao, Ma Dai, etc., were very envious, jealous and hateful.

If it weren't for the fact that only Wudang Feijun could do this job, they would have to compete with Wang Ping. Although this battle is full of risks, and it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out if it goes behind enemy lines, once it is successful, it can be famous all over the world in one battle.

Not only will the name of Wudang Feijun be famous all over the world, but he Wang Ping can also be praised by people because of this, who among the four people on the scene doesn't want this opportunity.

Zhang Yi and the others are not lacking in courage or ability, what they lack is just an opportunity to show their ability.

It's a pity that this kind of thing of climbing over the mountains and mountains near Sanguan and fighting behind enemy lines can only be done by the Wudang Fei Army, and the corporal under the command of Zhang Yi and others does not have this ability, so they barely crawl over, and there will not be much combat power left, and they are purely sent to it.

Therefore, these three people can only watch Wang Ping make contributions. It's weird not to be envious and jealous.

But no matter what, the army also has its own laws, and besides, these people are actually still young, Zhang Yi and Hao Zhao are not yet thirty years old this year, and Ma Dai and Wang Ping are already in their forties.

So, each has its own chances, each has its own tasks, just do your own thing.

After the army dispersed, the remaining three generals went to be responsible for arranging their own siege tasks, and Zhao Yun specially left Wang Ping to explain some things carefully.

"According to the pre-war agreement, General Wei will march to Chencang Road at the end of October, and with General Wei's ability, he will arrive at Chencang City in mid-November, but the length of the siege is unknown!" Zhao Yun explained his thoughts to Wang Pinghe, "Although General Wei can, but Chen Cang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he can win, when he breaks through Chen Cang Road at the end of the month, Jie Shizi should pay attention to General Wei and intercept and kill the defeated troops of Cao's army." If General Wei can't win, at the end of the month, there will be no Chen Cang's defeated army and retreat, and the son should act on his own, and if there is disharmony, when he retreats over the mountain, he must not fall in love with the war. ”

Zhao Yun told Wang Ping everything he knew and could think of.

Zhao Yun is not a god, the communication efficiency in these years is really low, and what he can do is only deduced according to common sense, so Zhao Yun did not dare to make a conclusion about the time when Wei Yan broke through Chen Cang, so he could only let Wang Ping judge himself, and let Wang Ping block Cao Jun's retreat to Meixian as much as possible without destroying the grand strategy.

It is because of this uncertainty that Zhao Yun always feels that it is too risky to let Wang Ping go to Sanguan, but this matter, judging from the current situation of Sanguan, it is better to do it than not to do a good job, no matter whether Wei Yan can break through Chen Cangdao or not, if he Zhao Yun wants to break through Sanguan, there is only this one feasible way.

Therefore, for the rest of the time, Zhao Yun, who has always been cautious in the use of troops, studied the geographical environment behind the dispersal with Wang Ping and studied the specific tactics.

The two discussed until the evening, and then Zhao Yun asked Wang Ping to go back to the camp to prepare.

And Wang Ping was also ruthless enough, after returning to the camp, it only took one day to reorganize the army, one day earlier than the original plan, and embarked on the road behind the mountains and mountains and the detour.

After Wang Ping led the army to set off, Zhao Yun didn't worry about this aspect anymore, but instead concentrated and launched an attack on Sanguan again.

This attack is different from the previous kind of tentative petty fighting, Zhao Yun did not intend to save troops in this attack, 10,000 foot soldiers were divided into three groups, and they took turns to rush into battle, with a posture that completely ignored casualties.

This made Sun Li, who was accustomed to Zhao Yun attacking the city like swallowing water and looked down on Zhao Yun a little, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Really, Sun Li used to think that this Zhao Yun was really a so-called famous general with no name.

The command of the battle array has no bright spots and characteristics, the offensive means are single and poor, and the offensive determination and perseverance are insufficient.

Sun Li looked back and thought about it carefully, Zhao Yun didn't seem to have any decent achievements except for the seven in and seven out of Changbanpo and the retreat of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the empty camp by the Hanshui River.

Zhao Yun's two most famous battles are actually very related to courage, and fighting with leading troops doesn't seem to have much to do with it, at least the impression in Sun Li's mind is like this.

Coupled with Zhao Yun's previous five attacks, all of which were not threatening, led Sun Li to firmly believe that Zhao Yun was a brave general and did not have much tactical command ability.

Then Sun Li was almost caught off guard by Zhao Yun's sudden wild attack.

If it weren't for Sun Li's own ability and psychological quality, this loose pass would really be lost because of the main general's carelessness.

After Sun Li came to his senses, he also began to respond.

After all, Zhao Yun was able to mobilize only 10,000 soldiers to attack the city, no matter how many batches he divided into to attack, how to maintain a long-term high-intensity siege, his total strength was really only 10,000.

On Sun Li's side, there are also 10,000 defenders, of which 5,000 are the elite of Cao Wei's forbidden army.

As long as you deal with it carefully and don't have a contemptuous heart, then it is not a difficult problem to hold the pass.

Defending the city, after all, is a matter of taking advantage, and the pass is the gateway to the pass, not to mention the sturdy pass, under the perennial defense, there is no shortage of grain, grass and ordnance. Sun Li is not Xiahou Nan, he can't be, and he doesn't have the courage to resell military rations and ordnance for profit.

In addition, Sun Li is a person with real skills, although he was caught off guard and suffered a small loss, but the overall battlefield situation is still biased towards the defending Wei army, and the casualty rate of the soldiers is also higher than that of the Han army on the attacking side.

After Zhao Yun attacked for five days in a row, he saw that there was no progress, so he still did not continue to insist on attacking, but withdrew his soldiers again to rest, rebuild and repair siege equipment, and prepare for the next attack.

During this period, Zhao Yun also tried to create a false impression that the attack was weak and the army had no fighting spirit, luring Sun Li out of the city to attack his camp. In this way, Zhao Yun could take advantage of the field battle of the Qianghu Miscellaneous Cavalry and take the opportunity to break the troops that Sun Li had sneaked out of the pass.

But Sun Li was very cautious, and in this situation he was still unmoved, but firmly held the pass, and if the Han army did not attack, he seized all the time to repair and consolidate the city wall, and never risked going to war.

At this point, Zhao Yun sighed a little that this Sun Li was like Zhang Yuanchang's kid, as soon as he entered the defensive state, he was like a turtle shell? !

But that's okay, just wait a few more days.

According to the speed of the Wudang Flying Army that Zhao Yun understood, at this time, Wang Ping should have led the army over the mountain range, and in a day or two, it would be time to make a detour to the back of Sanguan.

When that time comes, your supply of grain and grass will be cut off, and Meixian County behind you may be attacked by Wei Yan at any time, see if you can still sit still.

In fact, Sun Li at this time couldn't sit still.
