Chapter 304 Chen Cang
Not only Zhang He did not expect that, but even Zhuge Liang, who had been paying attention to occupying the property, was shocked. He felt that His Majesty seemed to have changed his own person and had such powerful strength.
This kind of deed of killing enemy generals among thousands of troops can usually only be achieved by super powerful generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Who would have thought that such a situation would occur?
It was passed on to our general order, and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao led his troops to attack the enemy's wings, and the central army attacked forward!
Zhuge Liang quickly realized that after the enemy general Zhang He was killed, the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry in front of him were no longer threatening. He immediately issued an order and sent two generals to take the opportunity to suppress him.
At this time, Zhang He's deputy general was Guo Huai, a famous general of the Wei State. Guo Huai had a long town in the northwest and had a strong prestige in the army. After Zhang He died in the battle, he kept yelling to command his soldiers, hoping to maintain the military formation.
However, his efforts were in vain.
After killing Zhang He in the face of battle, Yang Yun urged his horse to move forward, swallowed and spit out divine light in his hand, and harvested the names of a large number of Wei soldiers, as if they were cutting waves and rushing forward wildly. They raided straight towards the direction of the central army's flag.
The three hundred white-eared elite soldiers following him and two thousand well-trained cavalry followed him closely, expanding the gap that was sprinting forward.
boom!
But in a moment, Yang Yun suddenly attacked the Wei army's central army formation. With a long spear, the weapons in the hand of a Wei soldier flew towards the big star with a howling energy. With a squeak, the big star burst into two pieces.
Failed!
General Zhang died in battle, and the big flag has arrived. Hurry up and run for life!
After the central army's flag was cut off, the courage that the remaining Wei soldiers gathered forcibly shattered, and it would be useless to let Guo Huai continue to command.
And, something even worse has happened.
After Zhang He was killed, the tiger talisman that controlled a thousand Yellow Turbans also fell into the chaos. Without the control of the tiger talisman, the thousand Yellow Turbans seemed very clumsy, and they were instantly slowing down several beats in terms of changing formations.
The enemy general is killed!
Ma Chao, who had been trapped for a long time, roared with a hint of shame and anger on his face. His face was full of murderous aura. He shot the muscles and bones of several strong men blocking the front flew out.
He took advantage of the gap he made and jumped out and instantly locked his target on Guo Huai.
Swish!
The spear roared out with a violent airflow. After seeing the target, Ma Chao directly threw out the weapon in his hand. The spear arrived instantly, without giving Guo Huai any reaction time. After the spear contacted his body, a powerful force burst out. Guo Huai's body exploded.
The Wei army won another general.
At this time, the left and right wings led by Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were also inserted into the Wei army's battle formation, surrounding the Wei army soldiers with a collapsed fighting spirit.
With the central army led by Zhuge Liang attacking from the front, these soldiers were surrounded by three sides. Except for some auxiliary soldiers at the end who could quickly turn around and run away, most of the soldiers were stopped.
After breaking through the formation, Yang Yun quickly went around a circle and came out.
For him, killing more people would not bring him much benefit. If these tens of thousands of elite Wei soldiers could be captured, these soldiers would still be used by him after they were captured Chang'an in the future.
After completely annihilated Zhang He's troops, the army will then advance east along the Wei River, first capture Chen Cang, and gain a foothold in Guanzhong!
Before Yang Yun sent troops, he had already discussed strategies with Zhuge Liang.
Taking over the three counties of Longxi and guarding Jieting can only say that there is no need to worry about the retreat of the Shu Han army. But if you want to enter Guanzhong and take over Chang'an, you still have a few steps to go.
Among them, Chen Cang is located at the western end of the 800-li Qinchuan, and is also a defensive fortress in the north of Sanguan. If Chen Cang is not taken down, the Wei army may attack Guanzhong through Chen Cang. Although the possibility is relatively low, it has to be guarded.
Back then, Han Xin was able to build a plank road openly and secretly travel to Chencang, and the Wei army also had the possibility of entering Guanzhong through the Chencang Road.
After taking Chen Cang, the Shu Han army would no longer have any worries and could directly advance to Ji County and threaten Chang'an.
Congratulations to Your Majesty for killing Zhang He in the last battle! Our army is sure to win this Northern Expedition!
Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face.
He didn't expect that the Northern Expedition would be so smooth, but it would be even better if two generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan followed the army.
Although the two of them were already elite, they smuggled through Ziwu Road and raided Chang'an. This strategy is still a bit too dangerous.
It would be better to gather all the troops, form eight formations, and push them all the way.
Although he had a different mind in his heart, he did not show any sign of it.
With Your Majesty's character, you will rarely regret it as long as you make a decision, not to mention that it is useless to say this now. So this thought just went around Zhuge Liang's mind and disappeared quickly.
Hahahaha, you can’t be careless now. It is said that Cao Rui has come to Chang'an in person to take charge. It is not that easy to defeat the Wei army and take Chang'an!
Yang Yun smiled.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: Your Majesty, the strongest thing in our army is field battles. I have a suggestion that after the army advances east along the Wei River, the speed of attacking Chen Cang should not be too fast, and give the Wei army a chance to send reinforcements!
At that time, the surrounding point will attack the aid, and the Wei army's troops in Guanzhong may be able to annihilate all the troops in one fell swoop!
Attacking Chen Cang is a decision that has been made, but when to attack, it will be a decision in the face of battle.
Zhuge Liang's strategy fully took into account the advantages of the Shu army.
Moreover, if Cao Rui sends a large army to rescue Chen Cang, Chang'an's troops will be empty, and at that time, they will also provide Zhao Yun and Wei Yan with the opportunity to raid Chang'an.
This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Yang Yun naturally would not refuse this good strategy. This time, he was planning to help Zhuge Liang control the overall situation only in terms of the overall situation, and Zhuge Liang would make the decision on the specific combat strategy.
After the army rested in Jieting for a day, Yang Yun, Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and others led the army into Tianshui County, and then advanced east along the Weishui River. Crossed the mountain road between the Weishui River and the Qinling Mountains and came to the city of Chencang.
Chen Cang's garrison at this time was Hao Zhao, the general who had been in charge of the counties west of the Wei River for more than ten years.
In the original history, Zhuge Liang sent troops from Sanguan to besiege Chen Cang, and tens of thousands of elite troops besiege Chen Cang, who had only 3,000 troops stationed, and it could not be defeated after a month of attack.
This person's ability to defend the city is top-notch.
However, no matter how strong the ability to defend the city is, there is no way to encounter a peerless general like Ma Chao!
