Chapter 123: Flying to the Fortress
The two counties of Wudu and Yinping are mountainous, and the number of Di people is large. Liu Bei and Cao Pi held each other in the two counties for more than two months, and the two fronts were staggered!
In the city of the lower debate, Zhang Fei and Wudu guarded Deng Tong firmly in the city. The city was supported, with nearly 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus Zhang Fei, Lei Tong and other generals, so that Cao Pi did not dare to attack, and sent several times the soldiers and horses of the Han army to surround the next debate, so as not to take advantage of the gap to kill and meet Liu Bei!
Liu Bei's main army held Cao Jun at the river pool northeast of Xia Biancheng! Cao's army did not occupy Hechi County, but built a fortress in the northwest of Hechi.
Cao Jun did not defend Hechi because he was afraid that the Han army would besiege the city, and the small city of Hechi could not be defended, but it was not as good as the fortress built by the mountain to defend!
Liu Bei tried the road many times, and the closest to Xia Wei could only be pressed to Hechi County, and the rest of the paths were towering, and the road was far from Xia Wei City!
Liu Bei himself settled in Hechi, and the main force was holding on to Cao's army. Liu Bei once attacked Cao's army for more than ten days, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded soldiers.
At the mountain pass and the flying valley, Ma Dai Tongzong, who had been garrisoned with Ma Chao, was sent to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to exert pressure on Cao's army! Maintain pressure on Cao Zhen and dare not withdraw troops to support Cao Pi!
After Zhang Ren led the Wudang Fei Army to arrive, Liu Bei sent Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Liu Yin and others to lead troops into the Chencang Ancient Road to attack the Cao army's grain road.
Liu Bei was afraid that he would lose the battle for a long time and lose the elite in vain, leaving Wang Ping, who was familiar with geography, and Ma Zhong, the commander of the army, led two thousand to monitor Chen Cangdao, and Liu Yin and others led the rest of the soldiers and horses to withdraw to the river!
In Hechi City, Liu Bei and Pang Tong met with the father and son sent by Zhuge Liang! After the three of them paid their respects, Liu Bei said softly: "Do you really have the ability to 'fly'?" The soldier, who was proficient in the barbarian language, spoke it to the father and son.
The father and son are the barbarians in the mountains, Longga, Longlao, and Longsu, Longa said: "My father and son live in the mountains, and I saw someone using gold to find someone to climb!" My father and son can, we walk in the mountains, the mountains are steep, and my father and son often collect medicine and firewood on the cliffs! ”
Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong and whispered, "It must be Kong Ming who sent people to find these barbarians!" ”
Longa watched Liu Bei speak in a low voice, and continued: "We have demonstrated it, and the leader (Zhuge Liang) said that we are good, let us come!" ”
Pang Tong said: "Why don't you try it!" ”
Liu Bei said: "The mountain situation that we have been helpless for two months can be so simple!" Let's give it a try! Spread Liu Yin and Jufu, and sent him to lead the Wudang Flying Army with these three people to Feiyue Valley to try to take the Tiger Cliff Cao Village! Shi Yuan let's go and keep an eye on it! ”
Pang commanded the order and rushed to the Flying Valley! Ma Dai and Zong pre-accessed, Ma Dai kept telling Pang Tong about the wolf smoke on the opposite side for two consecutive days, Pang Tong didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou could reverse the attack on Qishan, and he couldn't guess the essentials!
Now come and see Tiger Cliff with Longa father and son! Tiger Cliff is not shaped like a tiger, but it is said that this mountain is steep, like a tiger eating people, nine deaths! The cliffs on both sides are steep, as if split in half by a sharp axe from the middle.
Ma Dai pointed to this and said: "Cao Jun can't see it here, I tried to send someone to board it, but unfortunately more than ten soldiers died!" You see that there are still the corpses of our soldiers on the side, and they can't be moved, and they are afraid of dying again! ”
Pang Tong sighed: "Because of the precipitous, Cao Jun will definitely not be guarded!" ”
Ma Dai said: "We can't go up, Cao Jun is the same, even if we want to guard against it, we can't prevent it?" ”
Pang Tong turned his head and sent a message to Longa: "Climb up." Drop the rope and we'll go up again! ”
Longa nodded, carried the rope on his back, looked at the cliff, and kept comparing with the long pole in his hand, selecting more than ten and tying a copper hook to the end of the long pole. The copper hook Zhuge Liang has been built according to Longa's requirements!
Lunga hooked the roots and stone mouth with a long hook, and climbed up one by one with different long hooks depending on the distance! First, Longsu climbed the lowest stage, then Longlao climbed the second stage, and Longa climbed the third stage.
The mountain is towering, the physical exertion is very high, and the father and son take turns to climb it! Find the right place to hang down with a rope!
Pang Tong was overjoyed when he saw that the three of them were extraordinary and full of words. The people of Ma Dai were also very happy.
Pang Tong ordered: "Go and prepare the oil tank immediately, and there will be a fire rain from the sky today!" ”
At this moment, everyone exclaimed, Pang Tongyi saw that the stone mouth hooked by his eldest son Longlao was broken, and he fell off the cliff with a rope tied around his waist, but he didn't expect that his bad luck hit Shi Yan and killed him on the spot!
Pang Tong was shocked! Worried about the remaining father and son, what a shock it is for relatives to die in front of their eyes! The father and son shouted Longlao and knew the result! Silence for a moment towards Longlao's corpse!
The father, Lunga, pointed to it and tied a rope around the waist of his youngest son, and Lung Su continued to climb up with the long hook!
Pang Tong couldn't help but sweat, and the father and son crawled alternately, approaching the top of the mountain. The wind makes crawling harder! Pang Tong secretly prayed: The wind is doing the right thing! Stop!
Afraid of something, Longa just found a foothold, a gust of wind blew, Longa's body shook, he couldn't stand on his feet and fell, Longsu hurriedly handed over the long pole to hook his father!
Longa has experienced a lot, grabbed the long pole and used his strength to fall on a mountain rock! Longsu looked at his father, and Longa took a break and waved his hand, signaling Longsu to continue climbing!
Longsu waited for the wind to be small, and Pang Tong hurriedly said: "Go up, go up!" Fast! The Wudang Flying Army immediately began to climb, and Pang Tong shouted: "Go up first and take Longa next!" ”
After waiting for about half an hour, Takasu continued to climb and finally reached the top of the mountain! Beckon. Pang Tong let out a sigh, and the Wudang Flying Army began to climb up on a large scale!
Pang Tong looked around, Ma Dai and the others were already sweating profusely during the climbing, Pang Tong touched his neck, it was like this!
Father Longa was rescued, his arm was shattered, I'm afraid his arm is useless! The eldest son, Longlao, is dead! The youngest son stayed until he was not injured, and came down to hug Longlao and cry! Father Longa looked at his eldest son silent and sad!
Pang Tong admired the death of the top at this time, and the two of them were not shaken! It's extraordinary! Don't you know that they are forced to be like this by the environment, and they can't all have to explain everything together!
Pang Tong sighed and was speechless! In the middle of the night that night, the whole army of the Han army Ma Dai assembled and stormed the Tiger Cliff. The defender Qin Liang hurriedly led his troops to resist, and for a time the Cao army was like locusts in the fortress, and the Han army attacked with a shield regardless of casualties!
Qin Liang felt the pressure and played a twelve-point mental defense! The battle between the two armies was fierce, and suddenly a fireball came down in the dark sky, Cao Jun exclaimed when he found out, Qin Liang looked up and saw that the oil cans were constantly thrown down on the mountain, and the Cao army's fortress was quickly ignited.
Qin Liang was shocked: "Could it be that the thief army will not be able to fly!" Hurriedly commanded to extinguish the fire, but Cao Jun, who was extinguishing the fire, was hit by the oil canister that continued to be thrown, and he was also on fire if he didn't die, and his voice was sad.
Cao Junjun's heart is in turmoil! When Pang Tong saw it, he shouted: "Beat the drum and march, and take the Cao army's fortress!" ”
At dawn, Qin Liang knew that Cao Zhen would not let him go, so he rushed into the Han army and was hacked to death with a knife!
Liu Bei had to report that he left 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the river pool, and the army then surrounded Yinping! Zhu Zan saw that Ma Chao had left, and Liu Bei was even more panicked, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Cao Zhen!
Ma Chao wandered in Tiger Cliff for two days and set off a beacon fire for two days, but he could not make progress. On the third day, King Qiangduan of Yinping led 4,000 soldiers and horses.
Ma is super happy, access to the strong end! The strong end tried its best to meet Ma Chao, for a long time, wherever Ma Chao went, the Qiang tribe was led by it, responding to Ma Chao, and let it drive! Horses naturally develop a sense of superiority.
What's more, I think I have lost Cao Jun in a row since the conquest of Longnan, and I can't help but feel fluttering! Ma Chao immediately said: "My Ma Chao even broke Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Yang Fu are unstoppable, I heard that Yin Ping is a child named Cao Zhen, it is not worth mentioning, if he dares to come, I will behead him and hang in front of the horse!" ”
Qiang Duan flattered: "What General Tian said is right! But how is the general going to break this Tiger Cliff camp! ”
Ma Chao said: "Is the leader here, then attack, let our army on the other side find that the front and back are attacked, and they can be broken when they land!" ”
Qiang Duan said: "General Tian doesn't have to be so troublesome, there is a path here to bypass the Tiger Cliff!" ”
Ma Chao said: "Go around? Don't joke about it, chief, our army is all cavalry, how to get around! Besides, can you walk the path around here? If so, I don't know! ”
Qiang Duan's face changed slightly, and he smiled: "What General Tian said is true!" I don't know the art of war, I only know how to take a detour! ”
Ma Chao did not doubt that he said: "You don't understand it when you look at it, if you go and look at it, you will know that this camp is built strongly, and there are cliffs on both sides!" ”
Qiang Duan said: "How is the general going to act!" ”
Ma Chao said: "I interrogated the captives and knew that Yinping had at least 20,000 garrisons, and Cao Zhen should not know where to go!" The scouts I sent didn't find it! Calculate the time, Cao Zhen and Wudu should get the news to Cao Jun and hurry up, can't delay too long, and now attack Tiger Cliff! ”
Qiangduan swallowed, Ma Chao changed his face and said, "Aren't you here to help me?" ”
The strong end did not dare to disobey Ma Chao, so he had to lead the troops to attack the Tiger Cliff, Ma Chao personally supervised the battle, and the strong end on the side saw that his tribe was unknown, so he attacked the Tiger Cliff, and was shot down in pieces, and was distressed.
Ma Chao can't show it on the side, and he smiles strongly! It was getting dark, and Ma Chao agreed to withdraw from the army after several words!
Ma Chao said to Qiang Duan: "The leader follows me up the mountain to hide, so as not to be attacked by the Cao army!" Come back tomorrow, when the Tiger Cliff is broken, I will play the benefits of your king! ”
Qiang Duan thanked him, and Ma Chao stabbed and said, "You're welcome!" He laughed.
Just as the whole army was moving, one person left the team and headed northwest! Cao Zhen, who had been waiting in the mountains for two days, finally waited for the news he wanted, and it was a pity that he could not lead Ma Chao to the trail to ambush, but it was clear that the place where Ma Chao camped tonight was harmless.
Cao Zhen ordered the whole army to be dressed neatly and went straight to Ma Chao. In order to avoid the scouts of the Ma Chaojun, Cao Zhen didn't dare to get too close and hide his body in the inconvenient places where the horses in the mountains were inaccessible! I arrived at Ma Chao's camp at five o'clock!
Qiang Duan was preoccupied all night, and after Lei Ding was killed, he saw that Cao's army was far stronger than Liu Bei, and sent someone to surrender to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen did not force him to relocate, and also praised Cao Pi to make him the king of Yinping, rewarding him with gold, silver, and robes! Some Lei Dingbu evaded forced relocation and defected to the strong end, and Cao Zhen also acquiesced!
If the strong end got the benefits, he would have already died with Cao Jun! Cao Zhen sent someone to contact the strong end to deceive Ma Chao! Poor Ma Chao doesn't know yet!
Cao Zhen surrounded Ma Chao, and with an order, torches rose on all sides, Ma Chao immediately woke up, and the strong end pretended to run over and said: "Cao Jun has discovered us!" ”
Ma Chao picked up the spear, stepped on the war horse and shouted: "Just Cao Jun, who can stop me!" Kill me out! ”
Ma Chao rode down from the mountain, and he didn't want Cao Zhen to be ready a long time ago, so he refused to block the road and the arrows were head-on! Ma Chao relied on martial arts, picked off the rejected horse, and killed in front of Cao Jun!
Cao Zhen shouted: "Ma Chao, look at how many people are behind you!" ”
When Ma Chao was in front of him, his mind was all about fighting, and when he turned his head, he realized that there were only five hundred people around him, and the fire was rising on the mountain, and there were scattered cavalry coming down. The figures on the mountain flickered, and the strong soldiers and horses did not follow!
Ma Chao understood what was going on and yelled at the mountain: "Qiangduan, I want you to die a good death!" ”
Cao Zhen smiled and said: "General Tian, become my name in Cao Zhen's merit book!" Kill the crowd! I also want to consume Ma Chao! ”
The Cao army surrounded Ma Chao, and the Han army wielded their blades and killed the enemy desperately, but after all, it was in vain, and they were besieged by the Cao army and killed! Ma Chao killed thirty people in a row, and the encirclement was not loosened, Ma Chao gasped twice, and secretly decided to fight!
Ma Chao shook his spirits, and after a fight, he shouted: "I, Ma Chao, crisscross the north and south, how can I die from an unknown person, and my husband must learn from the overlord of Chu even if he dies!" After saying that, he suddenly killed himself with a knife, turned over and fell off the horse.
Cao Zhen heard the voice and saw that Ma Chao fell but was blocked by overlapping human heads, and he couldn't be sure, what if it was really Ma Chao's head and let others cut it off.
Cao Zhen rode forward, only to see Ma Chao's leggings hanging on the horse, letting his BMW drag around in all directions.
His subordinates desperately rushed to Ma Chao's place, some of the Han army began to surrender, and the Cao army was poked to death without being surrendered. The attention of the generals and soldiers of Cao Jun is all on Ma Chao, who is killing himself!
Ma Chao's own soldiers are desperately trying to protect Ma Chao's corpse! Do the dying throes! Cao Zhen knew that these people wanted to get involved in killing Ma Chao's merits!
Cao Zhen thought: "The plan is my out, the soldiers are my use, if I don't cut off the head of Ma Chao with my own hands, it would be a pity that I can't do all the work!" ”
At that moment, he led his own soldiers and shouted: "Cao Zhen is here!" Ma Chao suffers death! Cao Zhen's shout was heard by all the generals and soldiers of the Cao Army, which meant that they all got out of the way, Ma Chao's head was mine!
