After Yuan Qi led 150,000 Yan troops to Xiegu Pass, and Ma Yue brought 20,000 land to the elite and 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry from Xiliang, the total strength of the Yan army reached 200,000, and returned to Mount Tai in Chengdu from Hanzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Taishan was the last to know the whereabouts of the Yan army was because Yuan Qi made secret measures in the direction of Hanzhong and Yizhou, far stricter than for other regions, and Yizhou Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and the speed of transmission of news is correspondingly worse than that of other regions, plus the main general who was arranged by Taishan to stay in Hanzhong is Huang Quan, Huang Quan is an excellent internal affairs talent, and leading troops to fight is not his forte, although Taishan may also be aware of this, let Ling Bao and Lei Tong stay together as deputy generals, but still failed to detect the movements of the Yan army in time, until the army was forced to the border, and there were only a few days left from Hanzhongto get the news.

At the meeting, from Mount Tai down, everyone had a solemn look on their faces. After all, I just got the news now, it's a little late, even if I immediately gather a large army and go to rescue Hanzhong, I'm afraid it won't be in time, not to mention that to gather troops that can resist the 200,000 army, karma is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, it will take at least two days, I believe that when Taishan gathers enough troops, the Yan army has reached the city of Hanzhong and began to attack the city. And the Yizhou army from Chengdu out of the Sword Pavilion, Ben Jiameng Pass, to Hanzhong, the road is rugged and difficult, the army to pass at least three or five days, now can only hope for the three Huang Quan in the town of Hanzhong. was able to block the onslaught of the Yan army and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Tarzan's face was gloomy. He glanced around at the ministers around him, and then said, "There is no need for King Gu to say more about the situation, you all know it in your hearts. Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and if Yuanqi takes Hanzhong away, the entire Yizhou will lose its barrier, which is a loss that we cannot afford. In the autumn of life and death, Fang shows your ability, and this battle depends on all of you to show your talents and help me Yizhou get through this difficulty. ”

Fa Zheng stood up and said hurriedly: "King, things have developed to this point, we can't delay any longer. The army should be gathered immediately and go to the aid of Hanzhong. At the same time, an elite army should be sent first, and they should rush to Hanzhong one step ahead to help Gongheng (Huang Quan's character) resist them...... Uh, resist Yuan Qi!" Fa Zheng was in a hurry for a while, and almost said the wrong thing.

Unintentionally correcting Fazheng's speech, Taishan nodded and said, "So good, filial piety, who do you think is the right person to send as a pioneer to rescue Hanzhong?"

Fa Zheng sighed and said in a low voice: "King, everyone, it is not that Fa Zheng is angry with others to destroy his prestige, but the four elites under the command of Yuan Qi have all appeared in this battle, and their combat effectiveness is by no means something that ordinary troops can resist, and sending ordinary soldiers to go may not be able to play any role, therefore, the minister suggested that General Shuzhi lead the elite soldiers of Bai Yu, and at present, only the elite soldiers of Bai Yu may be able to stop the elite under the command of Yuan Qi." The king recruited troops as soon as possible and hurried to Hanzhong, perhaps, he could save Hanzhong. ”

After more than 10 years of growth, after countless cruel tests, this army gradually developed and grew from the flames of war, until now, there are only more than 7,000 people, less than 10,000 people, this is the heart of Mount Tai, or Mount Tai's personal guard, to send this force out as a vanguard, Taishan is really a little reluctant in his heart, because Mount Tai who has been on the battlefield for decades is very clear, the vanguard often means cannon fodder, he has lost an elite Jingxiang army, and can no longer lose the elite soldiers of Bai Yu。

However, the current situation is indeed very critical, and the slightest hesitation will lose the gateway of Hanzhong, so that Yuan Qi can drive straight into Yizhou at will, and such a tragic result is unbearable for Mount Tai. Bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Taishan knew that now was not the time to be indecisive, the more critical the time, as a monarch, the more he had to make trade-offs, could he not even be as good as the hairy boy of Yuan Xie? Yuan Xie could give up his life to become benevolent, and he sent Bai Yu elite soldiers, what is there to hesitate? Thinking about it, Taishan suddenly looked up at Chen Dao, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhi, immediately take the Bai Yu elite soldiers, and rush to Hanzhong to help first, be sure to cooperate with Gongheng to block the attack of Yuan Qi's department, and within five days, the Lone King will lead a large army to help!" ”

Chen Zhi took a step forward, slapped his right fist heavily on his left chest, and replied loudly: "Don't worry, the king is here, Hanzhong is there! If you want to break Hanzhong, you must step on Chen Zhi's corpse!"

Hearing Chen Zhi say this, Taishan first had three points of dislike in his heart, and it was really a little unlucky to say such things before he went out on the expedition, but the white Yu elite soldiers were brought out by Chen Zhi, and only he could give full play to all the combat effectiveness of the Bai Yu elite soldiers.

Besides, if you say it and splash out the water, Taishan, as the king of a country, naturally wants to make a statement, and changing the order will damage the prestige of the king of Hanzhong. Taishan slowly stood up, looked at Chen Zhi and said: "In this battle, we must block the time of Yuanqi for five days to buy time for the army to arrive, Uncle Zhi must be cautious and not lose!"

Chen Zhi replied loudly: "The minister obeys!"

Just when Mount Tai was 100,000 troops in a hurry, Yuan Qi had already led an army of 200,000 troops, and after a gallop all the way to a place fifty miles outside Hanzhong City, he set up camp, which was two full days faster than Mount Tai expected!

As soon as the subordinates were settled, Yuan Qi convened a temporary military meeting. Qi Tian and Zhao Hu, who are pioneers, took the lead in expressing their own opinions. Qi Tian was the first to speak: "Hanzhong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable for heavy cavalry combat, if you want to launch a strong battle, the Flying Dragon Army will suffer heavy losses, therefore, a certain suggestion that the Flying Dragon Army will not participate in this battle, but gallop to the back of Hanzhong City, to ambush the enemy army who are ready to come to the rescue." ”

After Qi Tian expressed his opinion, Zhao Hu added: "General Qi is right, this battle, from a certain point of view, should be based on the infantry army, supplemented by red-clothed ballistas and other large weapons of destruction, suppress the Yizhou army crossbowmen at the head of the city, and let the infantry army forcibly enter the city. ”

After listening to Qi Tian and Zhao Hu's opinions, Yuan Qi turned his head to look at the two peerless thinkers and asked, "Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, the two smiled, Zhuge Liang first said: "The views of the two generals are very feasible, this battle is beneficial in the quick battle, after the Taishan division returned to Chengdu, there are only 80,000 troops in Hanzhong to defend the palace, except for the defenders scattered in the counties, there are only 50,000 people stationed in Hanzhong City at most, it is not difficult for our army to forcibly conquer Hanzhong, the difficult thing is how to minimize the battle damage, after all, after Hanzhong, there are still many hard battles to fight, Sword Pavilion, Jiameng Pass and other dangerous points, are all difficult problems in front of us. In addition, Mount Tai will never sit back and watch Hanzhong fall into our hands, so he will definitely send troops to the rescue, under Taishan, now the only one who can be with the four elites of our army can only be his own guard army - Bai Yu elite soldiers, the number of this army is about seven thousand, we can follow General Qi's ideas, on the road that must be passed after the detour of Hanzhong City in advance, set up an ambush to defeat Bai Yu elite soldiers in one fell swoop, and it can be regarded as a lesson to Taishan. However, General Qi's trip can only be limited to two days, whether there is any harvest or not, he must rush back after two days, otherwise, I am afraid that he will fall into the encirclement of Mount Tai's army. ”

Pang Tong added: "The commander of the Bai Yu elite soldiers is Chen Dao, this person has good military force, and he is calm, the general should be careful when he goes, with the general's ability, it is not difficult to defeat the Bai Yu elite soldiers, but we must be careful, do not let go of a living mouth, especially Chen Dao, and must not let him return to Taishan, so that Taishan can completely understand the situation in Hanzhong, and let us be at our mercy." As for the attack on Hanzhong City, they all thought that there was no need to make more arrangements, and the Yizhou army must not have imagined that we were in such a hurry. ”

The words of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were all based on the same viewpoint, and a quick battle was resolved! This was also the necessary combat policy for this attack on Hanzhong. Time waits for no one, although the army marches all the way, and rushes out of the siege time for two more days, but no one can guarantee that the enemy will definitely take Hanzhong within seven days, and there will be no unexpected changes during the period, so we must speed up the speed of the attack, increase the intensity of the attack, and must occupy Hanzhong before Mount Tai arrives, otherwise, after Mount Tai arrives, this battle will be difficult to say, and the advantages accumulated in the intelligence will also be gone. Two hours later, at dusk, a strong assault on Hanzhong City was launched!"
