Nakajo Mountain is located to the north of Pubanjin and is the border between Hedong County and Hongnong County.

This mountainous area is not very large, and it is not normally impassable. But it's already November, and when it's cold, even the locals don't dare to enter the mountains.

At this time, crossing the mountain, the difficulty is basically the same as the difficulty of smuggling Yinping.

However, in Deng Fan's view, these are all acceptable.

Under the leadership of Deng Fan, the 3,000 Han troops quickly entered Zhongtiao Mountain under the white robe and winter clothes. In the snowy mountains and forests, 3,000 soldiers began their arduous march south.

It is impossible to count how many of these soldiers froze to death in the mountains, and how many slipped and fell into the mountain streams. Deng Fan only knew that he led people to march in Zhongtiao Mountain for seven days, and his troops were reduced by nearly half!

When the 3,000 Han army came out of Zhongtiao Mountain, its total strength was only more than 1,000 people. Even Deng Fan himself was frozen for half of his life, but if he stayed in the mountains for two more days, Deng Fan would probably die.

However, due to the severe attrition of troops, the original plan was only enough for ten days of dry food. But it has miraculously survived until now, which may be an extremely cruel surprise that Deng Fan did not expect.

After all, not everyone has the kind of great fortune and great fortune that Ma Tan has the luck to find a way out wherever he goes.

But even at this point, Deng Fan's first reaction after sobering up was to judge his current position.

"Quick...... Quick Probe ...... I'm in ...... right now. In the location! Deng Fan quickly gave an order, assigned soldiers to patrol, and was ready for the final desperate fight.

To Deng Fan's delight, the scout soon returned and reported good news to him.

They had indeed crossed the Nakajo Mountains and were now in the hinterland of Kabanjin. Not far from them is Hebei County, which is more than a hundred miles away from Fenglingdu.

"General Deng, do you need to check the strength of the Wei army in detail? Now ......"

At this time, Deng Fan's only surviving lieutenant hesitated for a moment and made a safe suggestion to Deng Fan. However, in this regard, Deng Fan categorically refused, and personally drew his sword,

"I ...... I'm already located in ...... To death! If you retreat, you will die, and if you advance, you will live, what is there to hesitate! ”

"You will move forward with me, if you can succeed, I will not treat you badly!"

Deng Fan knew at this moment that he had only one choice now, no matter whether the Wei army was empty or not, he had to fight. At this time, there is no time to hesitate, and you must fight to the death like General Ma!

Under Deng Fan's encouragement, the remaining more than 1,000 Han soldiers and soldiers were all fed. Then the whole army threw away all the baggage, including things such as marching pots and tents, and the whole army went into battle lightly.

More than 1,000 Han troops rushed bloodthirsty and rushed straight to Hebei County in the wind and snow. Because the Han army is dressed in white robes, it is very concealed in the wind and snow.

In addition, the heavy snow itself is not suitable for soldiers and horses to fight, and Hebei County is even farther away from the front line, and the Wei army's garrison is extremely lax. It wasn't until Deng Fan led people to rush to the vicinity of the city gate a dozen steps that the Wei garrison soldiers noticed that something was wrong.

"Wait! Enemy attack! ”

"It's the Shu army! Alert!! ”

"How did the Shu army appear here? Has Tongguan been lost? ”

The Wei army in Hebei County was completely defenseless, and before they could close the gate, Deng Fan rushed into the city first. For the sake of his own military exploits, Deng Fan also almost fought hard, slashed several people with his own hands, and still fought to the death under the number of swords in his body, and dragged the Han army into the city.

At this moment, all the Han soldiers knew that they were in a dead place, and there was no other way to live except to fight forward. Therefore, even if the hands of thousands of soldiers were frozen and could not hold the handle of the gun, they still rushed towards the Wei army with the last strength.

The Wei army in the county town was originally because of the rumors that there was a horse in Pubandu, and a large number of troops were dispatched by the guards to intercept it. At this moment, the remaining troops of nearly a few hundred are regular troops, and the rest are Tuntian soldiers with a weak will to fight.

Under Deng Fan's desperate fight, the Wei army held out for less than half an hour and could not stand it. The Han army was red-eyed, and many soldiers maintained their slashing movements before they died in battle.

The battle proceeded very quickly, and in less than an hour, the Han army killed all the Wei soldiers who tried to resist, and captured more than 1,000 Tuntian soldiers who had lost their will to fight.

Deng Fan won the bet, and he successfully bypassed the Wei army's defense line and plunged straight into the hinterland of Pubanjin. Although the loss is huge, but the battle is won, then it is all worth it!

Deng Fan's next plan was to supply on the spot and quickly reorganize and surrender his troops. Later, he defended the danger and released the news that the entire Wei army fell into chaos.

As long as he was nailed here, it was only a matter of time before the Han army successfully defeated Pubanjin head-on.

However, when Deng Fan was about to order the reorganization on the spot, suddenly the deputy general ran over and reported to him,

"General, there are people in the city who claim to be from the Yang family who want to see you."

"The Yang family?" Deng Fan was stunned for a moment, he didn't even notice that his stuttering had improved a lot at this moment.

"Could it be...... Is it the Hongnong Yang family? ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant nodded heavily.

"What are they looking for me for?" Deng Fan frowned suddenly, and his intuition told him that things didn't seem to be so simple.

But maybe that's good news?

At the same time, Ma Tan had been confronting Xinbi outside Huayin City for more than half a month.

From the confrontation in mid-October to the present, Simbi has almost been dragged by Ma Tan. In particular, Ma Tan often came to give personal speeches in the middle of the night, interspersed with all kinds of abuse against him, which made this 70-year-old comrade almost unable to stand up.

It stands to reason that Ma Jian is also not small, why is he so high-pitched?

Xin Bi was puzzled by this, but he knew that if Ma Jian had been blocked here, it was estimated that when he arrived in Chang'an, he would have to collect Sima Yi's body.

This is another typical street pavilion problem, you are in a hurry, Ma Jian is not in a hurry, and the situation is extremely beneficial to the Han army if it drags on.

Xin Bi understood the reason, but watched Ma Jian arrogantly circle outside the city. Looking at the dense mountains and forests behind him, and the figure that seemed to appear faintly in the distance, Xin Bi just didn't have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

What if it's a trap? Don't wait for Chang'an to succeed in supporting, but put these troops in your hands into it.

But at this time, Simbi suddenly received good news and bad news from the rear.

The bad news is that the Han army seems to have divided its forces to force the Yellow River from the north of Pujindu, and there is Han army activity north of Zhongtiao Mountain. However, for this, Xin Bi is not very nervous, after all, there are many defenders of Pubanjin, and it is more than enough to plug the gap in Zhongtiao Mountain.

The good news is that Luoyang has once again gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they have all gathered near Tongguan

In other words, the number of troops on the front line of Tongguan is not just 30,000, but 70,000!

So, Simbi had a bold idea, a calculating strategy.
