Chapter 250: Strategic Success

Late at night, the moonlight is like water.

The battle inside and outside the Lan's Dock Fort has ended.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

At this moment, a group of black shadows silently emerged from the Lan Clan's Dock Fort, and the figures of the Xuanjia cavalry loomed in the moonlight.

There are not many cavalrymen in this army, only four or five hundred, but they are well-equipped, tall and large, and they are elite cavalry under Zhang Bao's command.

was in the hinterland of Runan before, and it was also this elite.

They are the army of a hundred battles, and they are not inferior to the tigers and leopards.

On the war horse, Zhang Bao's eyes were calm and firm, the banner fluttered gently in the wind, he clenched the spear in his hand, stared ahead, waiting for the best time.

Out of the Lan's Dock Fort, Zhang Bao made a gesture, and the cavalry behind him understood.

All the cavalry rushed out like tigers, and their horses galloped out like a galloping wind.

Thundered~

For a moment, the sound of horses' hooves and the shouts of warriors sounded in the night sky, as if the night was also trembling.

Zhang Bao's elite cavalry approached quickly like a ghost in the dark, and then used a sharp blade like a reaper to intercept and kill the Wei army's logistics baggage team in the night.

"Enemy attack!"

"Help!"

"Protect the grain and grass, and those who dare to flee without permission will be killed!"

"Pierce through the enemy's army, burn grain and grass, and fight quickly!"

The battlefield was chaotic, and the frightened shouts of the Wei army were intertwined with Zhang Bao's calm command.

"Die!"

Zhang Bao roared angrily, and the spear in his hand streaked across the night sky.

Puff puff~

When the gun fell, several people were picked up by Zhang Bao, screaming again and again, being pierced through a hole, and seeing that they were not alive.

Under Zhang Bao's swift offensive, the Wei army, which was guarding the logistical baggage, had no chance to react, and was caught off guard by his cavalry.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Zhang Bao's elite cavalry was killing and rampage, causing great pressure on the Wei soldiers.

However, just as they were in the midst of their killing, a powerful cavalry force suddenly rushed out from both sides.

This cavalry unit is well-armed and well-equipped, and it is the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu.

As early as when Zhang Bao came out of the Lan Clan's Dock Fort, the tiger and leopard rode into action.

It took some time to lay an encirclement, and the tiger and leopard riders approached silently, and then suddenly attacked.

"Sons, kill me!"

"Those who take Zhang Bao's head will jump three levels and be rewarded with 100 gold!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

For a time, the battlefield was flying sand and rocks, the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and Zhang Bao's elite cavalry was suddenly surrounded by the Wei army.

"His mother, ambushed!"

Zhang Bao was covered in blood, his eyes were full of murder, even though he knew that he was under siege, there was still no fear on his face.

"Turtle Formation!"

Zhang Bao decisively ordered the formation to be adjusted, and his elite cavalry closely formed a defensive line, resisting the fierce attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The battlefield was full of fire, war horses neighed, swords and swords were intertwined, and the two sides launched a tragic hand-to-hand fight.

Although it is a turtle-shaped formation, the cavalry military formation is not just defensive.

Only by moving can the combat effectiveness of the cavalry be brought into play.

Otherwise, how can you escape from falling into the sea of Wei army's foot soldiers?

Zhang Bao brandished the spear in his hand, he was vigorous and not afraid of strong enemies, and he personally led the elite cavalry to charge into battle.

Although the offensive of the tiger and leopard cavalry was fierce, it was never able to break through Zhang Bao's defense.

On the other side of the battlefield, Sima Yi personally commanded the main force of the Wei army to round up Zhang Bao's elite cavalry.

It turned out that Sima Yi had already expected that Zhang Bao might take advantage of the night to sneak attack, so he not only set a trap outside Lan's Dock Fort, but also arranged Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry to ambush him.

He knew the bravery of Zhang Bao and his cavalry, so he laid a net and prepared to wipe out Zhang Bao's cavalry.

Zhang Bao is a general under Liu Chan, take his head, such as breaking Liu Chan's arm, the most important thing is that it can boost morale!

After several days of siege, the Wei army now needs to have morale too much.

Drive!

Drive!

Drive!

Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard cavalry, firmly locking Zhang Bao's cavalry, so that he could not get rid of it quickly.

And Sima Yi made full use of Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry to contain Zhang Bao, creating more offensive opportunities for the Wei army.

A big net is already coming towards Zhang Baobao.

The changes on the battlefield, Zhang Bao, who was red-eyed, naturally didn't know, but as the elite cavalry around him fell one by one, Zhang Bao knew that if he was dragged down, he would really not be able to run.

"Retreat quickly, I'll wait for the queen of the palace!"

Obviously, Zhang Bao is not the only one on the battlefield who has such thoughts.

Zhang Bao's guards obviously caught this.

Immediately, dozens of horsemen organized themselves and rushed in one direction.

Originally, the cavalry relied on speed to win, but if you want to break through in one direction, there will be less room for maneuvering and tossing, and when the speed decreases, the lethality of the cavalry will naturally decrease.

Casualties are mounting.

But more cavalry had to be ordered to chisel in one direction, even if the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the world was in front, it actually opened a way for Zhang Bao's cavalry to survive.

Highlighting the encirclement, there were only dozens of horses left of the hundreds of horsemen, Zhang Bao didn't have time to be sentimental, and he ignored the arrow wounds and gunshot wounds on his body, lay on his horse, and ran towards the south.

He didn't even dare to flee into the Lan's Dock Fort, for fear that the rout army would rush into the Lamb's Dock Fort, but the Lan Dock Fort would be broken.

Today, he took the risk to attack, originally to make immortal achievements, but now he has made a big mistake, a big mistake has been made, but he can't make a mistake again and again!

Wiped out the Han cavalry that did not break through in the encirclement one by one, and Cao Xiu had an unwilling look on his face.

Because it was dark, although Cao Xiu knew that someone had broken through, he didn't expect that the person who broke through was Zhang Bao.

Otherwise, he will pursue him.

"It's a pity that Zhang Bao's life was not left behind."

Cao Xiu raised the blood-stained blade, and his face was unwilling.

"It's a pity that Zhang Bao's life was not left behind, but the most elite cavalry under Liu Chan's command has already damaged most of them, and it will be much easier to match them later."

In this era, cavalry is definitely a heavyweight class. It can even be said that whoever masters the superior cavalry will already win half of the war!

If you want to make an analogy, cavalry is probably like today's tanks and armored vehicles.

Although armored vehicles and tanks could not climb high walls, it was impossible to storm a city.

But in the vast majority of war environments, these things have a decisive effect.

This was the case in the Battle of Pengcheng that year, Xiang Yu only used 30,000 cavalry to annihilate the Qin army's army of 560,000 people.

Although there are reasons to boost morale, it is undeniable that cavalry is too important.

Otherwise, the cavalry costs so much money, why do you fight to raise the cavalry?

To feed a professional soldier, it is often necessary to have more than five farmers to provide him with rations.

Moreover, a real cavalryman often cannot have only one horse, and basically two or three horses are transferred.

In addition, the forage eaten by the war horses and the weapons and equipment needed by the cavalry.

Before the Warring States Period, it often took fifty ordinary farmers to support a professional cavalryman!

There is a reason why you are expensive.

And Zhang Bao lost four or five hundred cavalry troops in this battle, which was indeed a pain in the bones for the elite cavalry under Liu Chan.

"Moreover, they don't have a supply of war horses!"

After listening to Sima Yi's words, the expression on Cao Xiu's face also improved a lot.

"These war horses are still the ones who captured my tiger and leopard cavalry before, and wiped out their elite cavalry, and on this Runan battlefield, my tiger and leopard cavalry can come and go like the wind again!"

"The general quickly goes to Shenyang to support, now, let me see if I can take the Lan's Dock Fort tonight!"

Zhang Bao's new defeat, in the Lan's Dock Fort, there must be a discouragement of the army, if it can be captured when the morale of the army is weakened, it can also greatly boost morale, but also eliminate the hidden dangers behind him.

Otherwise, this Lan Clan's Dock Fort has become a nail in the coffin of the Han army, wouldn't it be necessary for him to be on guard at all times?

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

The main force of the Wei army's infantry army, which had been prepared for a long time, repressed outside the Lan's Dock Fort.

When the Wei army launched another offensive and launched an assault on Lan's Dock Fort, they encountered strong resistance from the defenders in the Dock Fort.

It turned out that although Zhang Bao was bold, he also inherited the advantages of his father Zhang Fei's carefulness.

He only took the cavalry out of the city, and the foot soldiers remained in the dock fort.

In the time of one day's repairs, the defenders of Lanshiwu Fort had already prepared for defense, and strong fortifications had been built on the city walls, and facilities such as arrow towers were readily available. The defenders in the city were in full array, and the defenses inside and outside the fort were arranged in an orderly manner.

The Wei army launched an offensive, only to find that its path was blocked by a series of traps.

Pits, spikes, nooses, etc., made it difficult for the Wei army.

The arrows, stones, and fire oil on the city constantly beckoned to the besieging Wei army.

Even though the Wei army fought hard to attack the city wall, the fortifications of Lan's Dock Fort were extremely strong, and the wooden planks and stones built on the city wall played a good defensive role. Although the Wei army's offensive was fierce, it was difficult to break through the defense line of Lan's Dock Fort.

After many charges and attacks, the morale of the Wei army began to slump, and some soldiers had already fallen wounded.

"Looks like this is not the time to siege the city!"

Sima Yi realized that the situation was not right, and he decisively ordered a retreat.

The safety of Shenyang and Ancheng is much more important than the Lanshiwu Fort.

He didn't have time to spend here.

The Wei army was attacking violently, but when it retreated, it was as fast as the sea at low tide.

In the blink of an eye, the Lan Clan's Dock Fort, which had originally shouted murder, fell into calm again.

Of course

Calm is relative.

The screams of the wounded, the frightened sounds of the children in the dock fort, and the big yellow dog raised by the family, also howled a few times from time to time.

Call~

But.

Isn't it the Lamb Dock Fort?

Lan Zhan had a rare sincere smile on his face.

The Runan Lan clan was saved by him.

But the crown prince of Hanzhong can really win the battle of Runan?

Lan Zhan was also apprehensive in his heart.

But compared to the Ru Nan Chang clan, he Ru Nan Lan clan has no choice.

Now, I can only follow Liu Chan all the way to the dark.

Early the next morning.

New Rest City.

In the backyard of the government.

In front of the well-dressed realm, there was a beautiful woman helping Liu Chan tidy up her clothes.

This beautiful woman has a beautiful face and exudes a gentle and dignified temperament. Her skin is fair and delicate, like a graceful jade porcelain, and you can feel her smoothness with a light touch. The facial features are delicate and well-proportioned, the eyebrows are lightly raised, and the eyes are like autumn water, crystal clear, revealing a trace of clear light.

It's not Zhen Mi, who is it?

"Your Highness, there are folds here."

Zhen Mi seemed to deliberately show her proud figure in front of Liu Chan, and the two of them almost pressed their cheeks together.

Each can hear each other's breathing.

Zhen Mi's lips are as red as cherry blossoms, slightly upturned, like budding flowers, exuding a hint of seduction.

The witch was indeed seducing him.

It is estimated that this guy has his bloodline faster than Princess Zhurong.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Other people's wives are completely different from their own wives.

In addition, Zhen Mi let go to play, and the skills and charm of mature women are not comparable to ordinary people.

If it weren't for Hua Tuo by his side, plus a few of his disciples to recuperate for him, how could this small body stand it?

"Alright, alright."

Liu Chan said angrily and said, "I still have to deal with business!" ”

As soon as Liu Chan said this, Zhen Mi really stopped being careless, and after a while, he helped him tidy up his makeup.

Stepping out of the backyard, Liu Chan quickly arrived at the meeting hall.

At this moment, the sky is not fully bright, and there is some fog around, but in the meeting hall, people are very together.

is like Fei Yi, with a haggard look on his face, obviously he hasn't closed his eyes all night.

Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, yawning at the moment, although he looked chic, he obviously didn't have much rest.

"Your Highness, the battle report of Shenyang and Ancheng has arrived, and General Zilong has successfully attacked Ancheng, but Shenyang has Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, to defend it, and he has not been able to take it, this son knows how to defend the city, and the reinforcements of the Wei army have arrived, and it is not easy to take Shenyang again."

As soon as Liu Chan's ass sat down, Fei Yi stepped forward to deliver the news.

"It's a pity that Shenyang hasn't set, and it's an unexpected joy to be able to win Ancheng."

The sneak attack on the lower city has not been successful every time.

In fact, Liu Chan was also prepared for the failure of Zhao Yun's attack on the city.

After taking an Ancheng, it cut off the Wei army's Nanru water and grain road, and after a long time, it was the Wei army that couldn't stand it.

At the strategic level, Zhao Yun's attack this time has been a success.

"Although Chen Tai is young, he is not an easy person to deal with."

Chen Tainai is the son of Chen Qun, and after the death of his father Chen Qun, he attacked the Marquis of Yingyin, and successively served as a guerrilla general, a state of merger, a history of Yongzhou, and a scholar.

When the coup d'état of Gaopingling occurred, Chen Tai strongly persuaded the general Cao Shuang to surrender, so he was trusted by the Sima clan who was in power, and then in order to avoid the battle of the imperial court, Chen Tai took the initiative to request to be transferred to Yongzhou to take up his post, and successfully defended against the many attacks of the Shu general Jiang Wei during his tenure.

In the first year of Ganlu, Chen Tai was transferred back to the court to serve as the right servant of Shangshu, and he once resisted the attack of Eastern Wu twice with Sima Zhao, and then changed to the left servant.

When it comes to ability, this guy still has it.

"Shenyang is not down, Ancheng is a lonely city, it is difficult to defend for a long time, next, should we beat Shenyang down, or?"

Fei Yi frowned, looked at Liu Chan and asked.

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, and there was a pleasant look on his face.

Clearly, the scheme was hidden in his chest and abdomen.
