Chapter 62: The Great War Street Pavilion

The general of Guanzhong is the general Xiahou Yuan. Nanyang rebelled, Guan Yu went north, and Cao Ren was defeated. Cao Cao ordered to send more than 10,000 cavalry to support, and Xiahou Yuan reorganized his soldiers, preparing to reinforce at any time if needed.

When the news of Longyou's attack came, Xiahou Yuan was shocked: "Liu Bei's troops sent Nanyang to fight with the king, how dare to divide troops to attack Longyou, this is an unwise move." It's a trick! ”

Yongzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Ji said: "General, this may be Liu Bei's plan to use Nanyang to drag the king's soldiers and horses." Nanyang City is strong, and Liu Bei is a horn to each other, and the king is helpless for a while.

Secretly, Liu Bei took advantage of our attention in Nanyang, so he attacked Longyou and cut off Liangzhou. Ma Chao won the hearts of the Qiang people, and it was not impossible to win.

Liangzhou and Longyou are horse-producing lands, and the people are fierce and can be elite soldiers. If it is obtained by Liu Bei, Guanzhong is in danger, and the general will support it as soon as possible. ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "I was shocked for a while, Liu Bei dared to fight on two fronts, and the soldiers and horses under Nanyang City must be limited, and I will report to the king." Where are Guo Huai and Du Xi! "Sima Guo Huai and the overseer Du attacked the ranks.

Xiahou Yuan said: "You quickly go and order 40,000 troops to be sent." Guo Huai and Du Xi went as promised.

Xiahou Yuan said to Zhang Ji: "Derong, I will personally go to rescue Longyou, and the affairs of Chang'an will be entrusted to the public." ”

Zhang Ji said: "We will live up to our mission." ”

Xiahou Yuan went to support the whole army, and Zhang Ji came to see him off, reminding: "The general will win when he goes, just beware of the Meridian Valley!" ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "Liu Bei wants to try Longyou and Liangzhou, and he will not make an unwise move to divide the troops again." But in case there is a change, you can divide a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the valley mouth, and once there is a change, report it immediately. Zhang Ji received the order.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly led his troops away. Zhang deployed grain, grass, and equipment, handled political affairs, and supported Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuanwang Street Pavilion rushed to the pavilion and sent Guo Huai as the vanguard to lead 6,000 cavalry to advance first. Self-led army followed. Guo Huai marched all the way, and when he was resting, the soldiers chopped wood for cooking. After waiting for a long time, the planing rate did not lead to the Fei Army to intercept and kill Cao Bing, and then pretended to be Cao Jun. Approaching Cao Ying, he suddenly attacked, and Cao Jun reacted early and forced back the Wudang Fei Army.

Wudang Feijun relied on the terrain and constantly attacked and harassed, Guo Huai ignored them and only cared about the march. These unsuccessful flying troops are coming!

They dug pits, knocked down trees when the road, and mixed some poisonous weeds into them when Cao Jun cut the grass and fed the horses. All kinds of means greatly slowed down the march of Guo Huai's cavalry.

Guo Huai was in a hurry to rush to the street pavilion to seize the key point, and he was really angry to be so stirred up by the Wudang Flying Army!

Guo Huai took out all the grain trucks as bait to lure Xi to cut off the grain. In the middle of the plan, thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and the rest were killed and scattered.

The Flying Army was able to endure hardships and was adaptable, and the scattered people returned to the street pavilion along the way they came.

When Guo Huai arrived at the street pavilion, Zhao Yun had already taken the lead, chose a favorable terrain, set up the camp for more than eight days, was fully prepared, and shoveled the road in front of the camp into a small slope.

Xiahou Yuan then rushed to the Cao army camp and led Guo Huai and Du Xi to climb the heights to watch the Han army camp. The Han army camp is located in the street pavilion, the terrain is dangerous, and four camps are also added in front of the camp.

The Han army was well-founded in advance and retreat, and Hao was not in a panic, and all the high ground near the camp was also guarded by soldiers and horses.

Xiahou Yuan sighed: "The guards here are extraordinary, the main camp card is dangerous, there are no flaws, and there is no way to attack it!" "Return to the big tent to discuss with Guo Huai and Du Xi.

Send Guo Huai to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to take the flank of Liucheng, and then form a siege of the street pavilion. Xiahou Yuan led the rest of his troops and horses to attack head-on. Send half of the soldiers and horses to build the equipment.

An adjutant general led more than 1,000 people to test the Han army. The adjutant general of the Cao army led his troops to attack, challenging and insulting in front of the barracks, and the Han army did not move. Seeing that there was no response, the deputy general of the Cao army sent 500 people to the Han army camp, and the bows and crossbows were fired at the Han army, but the Han army still did not move.

The lieutenant general of Cao Jun was surprised. Five hundred Cao Jun spied forward step by step. Suddenly, the Han army in the camp was killed, the deputy general of the Cao army was shocked, the Han army was shocked, killing hundreds of people, the deputy general of the Cao army did not dare to fight, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers and horses to withdraw.

Xiahou Yuan saw that the Han army was so elite and knew that he would have to fight hard. Rest for the night and attack the next day. Strengthen the security to prevent the Han army from robbing the camp.

The next day, Xiahou Yuan commanded Cao's army to swarm and attack the Han army's defense line. Xiahou Yuan personally supervised the battle. Zhao Yun first took advantage of the situation, and Xiahou Yuan did not have an advantage. There was no progress for two days, and Xiahou Yuan knew that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be, and the only way to do it now was to fight quickly.

Xiahou Yuan will have a team of 5,000 soldiers and horses, each team will attack for an hour, and will never retreat, personally lead the team, whoever dares to retreat will not be killed! Attacking in turns, never giving the Han army a chance to breathe. Zhao Yun also resisted the detachment of soldiers and horses and attacked Cao's army.

Xiahou Yuan took turns to attack for two days, the Cao army killed almost the same as the camp, the Cao army stepped on the corpse to fight, and there were more and more Cao soldiers on the camp, Zhao Yun saw this, knew that he could not defend it anymore, so he retreated to the second camp.

Xiahou Yuan won the victory, there was no joy, and if he continued to fight like this, I am afraid that even if he defeated the street pavilion, the soldiers would not be able to recover Longyou.

Xiahou Yuan pondered all night. After dawn, Xiahou Yuan gathered 10,000 people, and with an order, Cao Bing rushed to the second camp.

The bows and crossbows of the Han army were fired, Xiahou Yuan commanded Cao Bing to raise his shield to block, bravely moved forward, approached the barracks, threw stones under the barracks, and immediately retreated after the end, and then Cao Bing went up again, and then still the clods.

The four barracks set up by Zhao Yun were not tall, similar to the earthen walls they were built on, but they were erected to delay time.

Cao soldiers alternated many times, and piled up on the earth slope in a moment. Xiahou Yuan gave an order, Cao's elite soldiers stepped on the dirt slope and attacked hard, and Zhao Yun commanded the soldiers and horses to fight for a day and retreat to the third camp.

On the night of taking the second camp, Xiahou Yuan was resting, deploying troops and horses to prepare for tomorrow's attack, when suddenly the soldiers came to report: the Han army attacked the camp.

Xiahou Yuan exclaimed: "I have ordered the sergeant not to remove his armor to prevent the attack on the camp, how can Zhao Yun succeed!" Xiahou Yuan did not remove his armor, and got up to gather his personal guards to fight.

He sent troops to the first camp and asked him to send troops to support.

The first camp was garrisoned by Du Raid, who learned that Xiahou Yuan had been intercepted. Immediately thought that there must be something strange in it, how could the general in Xiahou Yuan's army be defenseless and be attacked by a sneak attack.

The herald ordered that the soldiers and horses in the village should not turn their heads and ears, and they should not move around. The shilling lieutenant crossbowmen set up their defenses in front of the line and shoot if anyone approached. Send half of the soldiers and horses to support Xiahou Yuan with great fanfare. The rest of the soldiers and horses were in ambush on all sides, waiting for them.

After the reinforcements left, suddenly, the ground collapsed in an inconspicuous place on the side of the barracks, and hundreds of Han troops poured out, and the Han troops scattered on all sides and began to set fires.

Du Raid had been prepared for a long time, and Cao's army surrounded the Han army from all sides and annihilated them all. Du ordered him to set fire to the barracks, and the bigger the fire, the better. Du Xun selected the dead soldiers to counterattack along the tunnels of the Han army's sneak attack, and concentrated his forces to support Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan engaged Zhao Yun who attacked the camp, Zhao Yun's marksmanship was exquisite, although Xiahou Yuan attacked less and defended more, gritted his teeth and held on, it was not easy to win.

After the first Cao army reinforcements arrived, Xiahou Yuan commanded the reinforcements to suppress the Han army and wanted to kill Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is entangled and fighting, and he does not retreat, the two armies come and go, and they are killing hard.

The first camp in the rear was full of fire, the Han army was shaken, and the Cao army was unstable. Zhao Yun shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, you have been attacked in the back, why don't you surrender!" ”

Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Zhao Yun, don't be arrogant, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the big camp behind me, as long as these soldiers and horses come!" Our army will win! ”

Zhao Yun said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on." After that, he led his troops to attack, and Cao's army appeared defeated and retreated.

Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth and insisted, led his personal guards to fight to the death and did not retreat, and the battle reached the depths, a large number of reinforcements poured out behind Cao Jun, Xiahou Yuan said with great joy: "The reinforcements have arrived, kill the thieves with me!" ”

Zhao Yun was surprised: "Why is the reinforcement of the Cao army so fast!" ”

The Han army ran to Zhao Yun's side and reported that Cao's army had rushed into the rear camp!

Zhao Yun was no longer entangled and resolutely retreated. Xiahou Yuan didn't plan to chase after Zhao Yun. Du Zheng, who rushed over, shouted: "General, don't let Zhao Yun go, if you want to take the Han army camp tonight, the general can only attack." After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan did not hesitate, urged the troops to attack, and bit Zhao Yun.

The third camp of the Han army was panicked for a while because it was attacked by Cao Bing's dead soldiers, and Zhao Yun saw that Xiahou Yuan was following closely and the camp was chaotic, so he immediately abandoned the camp and withdrew to the fourth camp.

Xiahou Yuan occupied the third camp and was happy. asked Du Xun: "How did Zixu see through Zhao Yun's strategy!" ”

Du Xi said: "The general is a general, how can he not intercept the camp, I see that the fire rises from the camp instead of from the outside of the camp, there must be something strange."

Therefore, he first supported the general with great fanfare, but secretly ambushed the surroundings, and the thieves in the tunnel did not know why, so they thought that the camp was empty, so they killed from the tunnel and prepared to set fire.

I annihilated the Han army that had been killed from the tunnel, and pretended to set fire to the camp. Secretly sent dead soldiers to attack the Han army camp from the tunnel, and he supported the general and took the opportunity to counterattack. However, if it weren't for the general's undying battle, he would never have taken this third stronghold. ”

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "Zhao Yun stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, this battle success is all the credit of Zixu, I will take credit for Zixu." ”

Du Xi said: "This is a matter of duty. ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "If you have merit as a reward, you don't have to shirk it." "Du Xi, thank you.

Xiahou Yuan said again: "Zhao Yun can't be given a chance to breathe. Select the soldiers and horses who did not participate in the battle last night and prepare to attack Zhao Yun at dawn to replace the soldiers who fought last night. "Du raided the order.
