I have to say that Guo Huai's luck is really good.

Just when Zhang Fei wanted Wudang Feijun to take the initiative to attack and cut off Guo Huai's retreat, Guo Huai received a military order from Sima Yi and asked him to retreat to Wuguan to continue defending.

At the same time, Sima Yi also let Sima Shi go to Wuguan in advance to organize the army and respond to Guo Huai's retreat, so that Guo Huai could avoid facing the pursuit of the Han army in the process of retreat.

Therefore, when Guo Huai took the initiative to retreat and Zhang Fei ordered Wu Yi to pursue, Sima Shi had already led 3,000 Wei troops to set up a defensive line to take over the defense at Wuguan Road.

Although this was the first time that Sima Shi had commanded a soldier to fight alone, thanks to the special terrain of Wuguan Road, a large-scale army could not be deployed, and once a small force established a defensive position in advance, it was not so easy for the pursuing Wu Yi to defeat Sima Shi in a short time.

In addition, Sima Shi learned some real skills from his father, although it was the first time to go into battle, but the command of the soldiers was quite good, and he did not make any obvious mistakes for Wu Yi to catch.

Therefore, Wu Yi had no choice but to watch Sima Shi take away the remnants of the 3,000 infantry and more than 1,000 cavalry led by Guo Huai and retreat to Wuguan.

In the end, Wu Yi could only lead the army to camp at the Wuguan crossing, and wait until Zhang Fei led the army to arrive, and then discuss.

Since Zhang Fei, the general of the cavalry, has arrived, the actual command of the right Fufeng belongs to Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei is not polite, and directly takes over the command.

Then he began to worry about Wuguandao.

Wuguan, it's really hard to fight.

A Wuguan road is really narrow and long, and it is not suitable for the army to enter the battle at all, and in front of the Wuguan, it is impossible to launch a strong attack by the army.

On this terrain, Zhang Fei could only put 10,000 soldiers inside, and in Wuguan, according to the current intelligence, there were at least about 8,000 defenders.

10,000 soldiers went to attack the Wuguan guarded by 8,000 people, and the terrain outside the pass was not suitable for a large army to fight, how could it be possible to win.

And if you can't lay down the Wuguan, you won't be able to pose a threat to Wancheng from the side, and you won't be able to cooperate with the second brother who sent troops from Jingzhou to besiege Wancheng, the ultimate goal of this Northern Expedition, isn't that!!

Zhang Fei is so worried.

This martial arts pass must be fought, but if he really wants to fight, he really doesn't have the certainty of being able to overcome it in one battle.

Today's Zhang Fei is no longer the reckless military general of the past, and has grown into a very mature commander-in-chief who knows what to do and what not to do.

In the face of such a Wuguan defense, Zhang Fei has given up the idea of recklessly and brutally, and instead considers, is there a way to lure the Wuguan guards to divide their troops, or take the initiative to fight? !

But. This doesn't seem to be easy either.

There are always ways, for example, Zhang Fei personally went to Wuguan Pass to scold the war, but our third master does not have the identity illusion of "I am a general".

But this trick is okay to deal with a mediocre general with a bad temper, and it is probably useless to deal with a wise general like Guo Huai.

I wonder if Guo Huai can still give you the soundtrack of gongs and drums, so that you can scold and have fun, and sit on the city tower and watch the excitement!!

This trick is not good, change it. Drunken?!

This trick is actually quite easy to use here in Zhang Fei, and the success rate is extremely high.

Whether it was to get drunk and capture Liu Dai in Xuzhou back then, or to get drunk and deceive Zhang He in the ditch later, Zhang Fei used this trick very successfully in line with the strategy set up by others, and he didn't want to trap his opponent.

But so be it. This trick has been used a lot, and the reputation has spread, so it's hard to say whether it can still work now.

And a general of Guo Huai's level, to some extent, is more difficult than Zhang He. I'm really not sure I can fool him.

But no matter what, Zhang Fei thinks that he can still give it a try.

Then he personally led 10,000 soldiers and stationed under the city of Wuguanguan.

First, there was a scolding war.

Sure enough, Guo Huai was unmoved, but it was better than Zhang Fei expected, at least Guo Huai did not send a gong and drum team to score Zhang Fei.

Actually, about the gong and drum team, Sima Shi really suggested Guo Huai, even if he can't get Zhang Fei's mentality, it's a good thing to disgust him.

But Guo Huai has just experienced a big defeat, how can he have the heart to engage in such a boring scheme. In addition to being able to anger Zhang Fei, what other benefits are there?!

They are all old thieves, and they can't be angry with that old horseman.

Zhang Fei saw that the scolding battle really didn't work, so he changed his tactics and began to whip the soldiers in front of the battle, deliberately drinking, and making a drunken and unguarded posture.

But this move, not to mention Guo Huai, even Sima Shi can see that it is a trick to lure the enemy at all.

Zhang Fei has only arrived in Wuguan Dao for a few days, and he hasn't even done a decent siege.

However, just because the scolding war was ineffective, he suddenly showed a helpless posture that he could only use wine to drown his sorrows!!

Therefore, although the third master is much more mature than before, he is really not very good at using tricks, and the foreshadowing is not enough, so it is easy for the enemy to see through the scheme.

The third master saw that this was not good, so let's think of a way. Then the third master thought of another way.

The third master sent people up the mountain to chop wood, on the one hand, to cut wood for siege equipment, and on the other hand, he also made a way to find a mountain path and try to bypass Wuguan.

Of course, this little movement can't be hidden from Guo Huai and Sima Shi who are stationed in Wuguan.

Guo Huai was not in a hurry, but Sima Shi was really in a hurry.

If this group of Shu soldiers really found a way to bypass Wuguan, they would attack Wancheng directly. Then what is the meaning of sticking to this martial pass.

Sima Shi knows the situation in Wancheng too well, and his father is already very difficult to deal with the attack of 90,000 Jingzhou Shu thieves head-on, if there are another 50,000 Shu thieves on the flank. Wancheng will definitely be lost.

Therefore, Sima Shi suggested that he should lead his troops to take the initiative to attack, and strive to focus Zhang Feijun's offensive and re-attract Huiwuguan to the front.

But Guo Huai asked Sima Shi to calm down.

It is not for nothing that Wuguan can become the fourth level of Guanzhong.

And Guo Huai had been guarding Wuguan for five years before, and Guo Huai had already sent people to investigate the surrounding mountain terrain, and there was no mountain path to bypass Wuguan.

If there really is such a road, then Wuguan would have long lost the value of the existence of the four levels in Guanzhong.

After listening to Guo Huai's story, Sima Shi reluctantly put his mind at ease.

As long as the enemy army cannot bypass Wuguan from the mountain path, then relying on the majesty of Wuguan and the special terrain of Wuguan Road, then no matter how many troops of the Shu thieves are, they will not be able to break through Wuguan and enter the pass.

In this case, the father who is in Wancheng may fight very hard, but at least he doesn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides by Shu thieves.

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Fei pretending to let people go up the mountain to cut down trees, Wuguan was still calm and did not react.

Zhang Fei was not so disappointed in this.

Finding a mountain path to bypass Wuguan was indeed the main purpose of Zhang Fei's plan, but that was only the beginning.

Later, the purpose of the operation changed.

When Zhang Fei proposed this strategy of finding the mountain road, Jiang Wan asked Zhang Fei very curiously-since the purpose was to bypass Wuguan, why not directly use the Wudang Fei Army?!

Ordinary soldiers do need a decent path to cross the mountains and detour to the back of Wuguan, but they don't need to be a flying army, they are good at crossing the mountains, and it shouldn't be a big problem to cross the mountains near Wuguan, right?!

Jiang Wan's suggestion, Wang Ping has not yet expressed his position, but Zhang Fei gave the answer first.

Although the Wudang Flying Army is good at mountain warfare, they are human beings, not gods.

Even a professionally trained soldier like Wudang Feijun could not have traveled through the mountains and forests of this era without losses.

Climbing the mountain once may mean that many soldiers will not be able to walk out of the mountain for the rest of their lives.

Another one, people have to eat, even if they are not a flying army, it is impossible to be an exception.

Even if the Wudang Flying Army crossed the mountains and made a detour behind Wuguan, they would not be able to fight for a long time without sufficient logistical supply support.

In this case, as long as the Wei army in Wuguan still does not hold out, and the 5,000 Wudang Fei army goes deep behind enemy lines, it is impossible to pose much threat to Wuguan under the condition of cutting off the supply of grain and grass.

This is also the reason why Zhang Fei must look for mountain paths.

Although the mountain path is narrow and not suitable for large armies, it is a road anyway, and it is much better to transport a little food and supplies than to cut off supplies.

Originally, at this point, the matter of letting the Wudang Flying Army cross the mountains should also be over.

But Wang Ping, who was the commander of the Wudang Flying Army, stared at the map in the camp tent for a long time, and suddenly said, "After crossing the Wuguan, first attack the county to get its supplies, and then counterattack the Wuguan, I don't know if it is feasible?!" ”

Wang Ping's meaning, after crossing Wuguan, did not attack Wuguan first, but continued to sneak to the east, attacking the defenseless Xixian behind Wuguan, and then obtaining supplies in Xixian, and then attacking Wuguan in turn.

In this way, the problem of grain and grass supply in a short period of time can be solved, and enough pressure can be created on Wuguan.

But there's another problem.

"With only a few thousand people, you can break the county?!" Zhang Fei asked rhetorically.

Zhang Fei knows the combat capability of the Wudang Fei Army, but Zhang Fei knows even more that the combat style of the Wudang Fei Army is not an easy thing to climb over the mountains and mountains, even if the Wudang Feijun has been specially trained, when facing unfamiliar terrain, it is often impossible for all members to climb the mountains without losses.

Therefore, even if the Wudang Fei Army really crossed the Wuguan, how much time it would take, how many soldiers would be left, and how much combat power these soldiers would have left, Zhang Fei could not be sure.

Such troops, let them fight positional defensive warfare, or surprise sneak attacks, once the traces are detected, after being discovered, they will fight siege warfare, this Zhang Fei is really a little unbelievable.

But Wang Ping said that these are not problems.

Today's Wudang Flying Army is not the Wudang Flying Army of five years ago!!
