"Here they come," said the soldiers of Cao's army who came from the transit camp, "but they are not here, but heading towards Zhongtiao Mountain..."
"What?" Qianzhao frowned, "Did you read that correctly?"
The soldiers of Cao's army swore to the sky.
He indeed saw Sima's battle flag with his own eyes, saw the hussars roaring away, and even saw the hot horse dung...
I almost didn’t taste it myself.
"Nakatiao Mountain..."
Qianzhao did not doubt the words of the soldiers of Cao's army who came to report the news. He just wondered why Sima Yijun went to Zhongtiao Mountain.
Is the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp important?
Of course it is important, but the question is how many troops did Sima Yi have?
Indeed, if there is a problem in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, the victory or defeat of Cao's army will be determined on the spot. After all, nearly half of the entire army's baggage of Cao's army is stored in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp.
The cavalry is fast. If they are attacking over long distances, as long as they are not surrounded and can run away after being hit, it may not mean that they have no chance.
It's just relatively small.
So now...
"Let's march!" Cao Ping said excitedly from the side, "The little Sima thief is looking for death! The Zhongtiao Mountain camp is heavily fortified. How can they, a group of thieves, be able to attack them if they want? We just took the opportunity to follow from behind.
, you can completely surround and kill the Sima thief in one fell swoop! You will never have any future troubles! Hahahahaha!"
Speaking of excitement, Cao Ping couldn't help laughing, as if he saw Sima Yi's head being trampled under his feet.
Unexpectedly, Qianzhao was silent for a moment, then sat down again, "No, we are still here..."
Cao Ping's eyes widened, "General Qian! Are you afraid of fighting?!"
Qianzhao remained silent, took out the sword given to him by Cao Cao, and placed it on his lap.
Cao Ping's face twitched, but he didn't say anything more and just retreated.
Qianzhao was too lazy to look at Cao Ping. He knew that Cao Ping was thinking about something and he was not interested in answering these questions. He suspected that Sima Yi was feinting, but he was not completely sure.
Qianzhao thought and pondered over and over again.
He believed that Sima Yi looked adventurous on the surface, but was actually very cautious.
Cao Hong's previous defeat is enough to prove this point.
During the battle to attack Pubanjin, Cao Hong's camp was raided, which seemed to show Sima Yi's boldness, and he was almost caught by Cao Hong. However, Qianzhao noticed a problem, that is, Sima Yi never visited in person from beginning to end.
The front line of the battle...
This may be Sima Yi's biggest flaw.
But it could also be a trap.
Qianzhao remained silent, knowing that no matter it was a loophole or a trap, he had to rush forward.
…
…
Hao Zhao's face and body were covered in dust, but his eyes were very bright.
This feeling of dancing on the blade stimulates the continuous secretion of adrenaline.
In order to defend against Linfen in the north, Cao Jun's cavalry was mainly concentrated on the front line and in Cao Cao's hands, but was much weaker on the rear line. This forced Cao Jun's infantry to passively follow Hao Zhao in circles.
This kind of "pulling monsters" tactic made Hao Zhao very excited.
Sima Yi's plan was to have Hao Zhao disrupt Cao Jun's rear line as much as possible, draw more Cao Jun infantry, attract more Cao Jun's attention, and create opportunities for Sima Yi to raid the transit camp.
Originally Hao Zhao was not very happy, but what Sima Yi said at the end changed Hao Zhao's mind.
Sima Yi said that even if Hao Zhao could not make any gains in the process of pulling Cao Jun, it would still have the same impact, disrupting Cao Jun's rear line layout, and it would also contribute and help the hussar general Fei Qian's frontline operations...
…
Hao Zhao thought about it, it was indeed so.
More importantly, this kind of dancing on the tip of the sword will undoubtedly greatly improve Hao Zhao's cavalry command skills and experience.
I have to say that Sima Yi's judgment was correct. There really weren't many cavalry on the rear line of Cao's army, so Hao Zhao only needed to not be greedy for merit, not to advance rashly, and not to be entangled by Cao's infantry, so there wouldn't be any big problem.
"Captain, why don't we just run away without a fight?" the military academy asked.
"Of course I have to fight," Hao Zhao laughed, "But not now... why are your hands itchy?"
The military academy laughed loudly, "That's right!"
Hao Zhao also smiled, "Don't worry! There will definitely be a chance for a battle! Don't be soft-hearted then!"
When the military academy and other soldiers heard this, their blood boiled with excitement and they responded in unison.
But beneath the happiness and excitement, there are actually hidden dangers.
Sima Yi was eyeing Cao Jun's food and fodder, but Sima Yi and Hao Zhao also needed food and fodder themselves, especially since the war horses were galloping and pulling for long distances. Ordinary green materials could not meet the needs of the war horses at all, but had to be constantly replenished and mixed.
Only the sugar and salt beans can give the war horse enough physical strength to perform such tactical actions.
There is a carry limit for this extra food consumption. So while Hao Zhao is excited, he must also rationally calculate how much dry food he still has in his hands...
Now, he had done everything he could and was just waiting for Sima Yi to deliver the final blow.
…
…
On the Emei Mountains, Xun Chen was thinking about how to start.
After such a period of diversion and treatment, the problem of refugees gradually became smaller and no longer became a huge obstacle.
The lights flickered, and Xun Chen leaned on the desk and stared at the map, his eyes scanning back and forth between the several red marks.
"This is bait."
Xun Chen pointed to the nearest red Cao Jun logo down the slope and said.
Zhang Xiu stretched his head and took a look, and saw the word "Liu Hu" written on the red sign.
"Here is the second bait..."
Xun Chen pointed to the area around Anyi.
"Then here is the third one..."
Xun Chen's fingers slid across the map, making a rustling sound.
"They're all bait?" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment.
"What is real is what is imaginary, what is imaginary is what is real." Xun Chen said.
"Hmm..." Zhang Xiu coughed, "I don't understand."
Xun Chen nodded, "If you hit him, it's just bait. If you don't hit him, it will become real..."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiu scratched his head and felt his scalp was a little itchy.
With Wang Meng's appearance, most of the spies among the refugees were eliminated by Cao Jun, and even if the others slipped through the net, they would not be able to do much. This allowed Zhang Xiu to free up more
The soldiers came to fight.
"These Cao troops not only dug trenches in the camp and set up defensive horses, but also brought a large number of baggage vehicles..." Xun Chen glanced at Zhang Xiu, "You know what this means..."
Zhang Xiu nodded, showing his eight big teeth, "They are afraid of our cavalry! No matter how good the defenses are, they are all dead, but our cavalry is alive!"
Xun Chen smiled and said, "The words are so correct, but we still have to fight, and there will be some losses..."
"What? What do you mean?" Zhang Xiu became more and more confused.
Xun Chen pointed at the map, "General, haven't you seen this posture yet?"
Zhang Xiu's eyes widened and he looked for a moment, "Chang Shi, you'd better just tell the truth!"
Xun Chen swallowed words such as "three-year-old child" and pointed at the map, "This place is the weakest...right?"
Zhang Xiu stared at the nearest red mark marked "Liu Hu" at the bottom of the slope and nodded.
"Although this place is important, it's not urgent, right?" Xun Chen nodded at Anyi again.
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes and nodded, "That's right."
"This is the farthest. Even if we have cavalry, it will still take a certain amount of time to rush from here to the east." Xun Chen finally pointed in the direction of Wen Xi and said, "The traitor Cao has placed three
A bait...The next action will be decided based on our movements...』
"You mean..." Zhang Xiu felt that he understood it, but he didn't fully understand it. "Chang Shi, you'd better just tell me, where do you want to hit?"
Xun Chen waved his hand and said: "It's not where I want to attack, but where Cao Cao wants us to attack..."
"This..." Zhang Xiu scratched his head.
"The thief Cao knows that we know that these are baits, and we also know that the thief Cao knows that we know..." Xun Chen traced his fingers on the map and muttered casually, "And now we know that the thief Cao doesn't know what he knows, we just don't know."
Do the thieves know that we know that they don’t know..."
"@_@?!" Zhang Xiu tried his best to widen his eyes.
After a while, Zhang Xiu came to his senses in a daze and said, "Ahem, Chang Shi, can you say something that I can understand?"
Xun Chen followed suit and said, "Okay... this, Taiyuan has been conquered..."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiu controlled his hands and tried his best not to lift Xun Chen's desk, "Long history!!"
Xun Chen shook his head, "General, oh... hit! Hit here!"
Zhang Xiu stood up with a roar, "That's it! I'll go get ready!! Hahahaha..."
Xun Chen slowly followed up with the second half of the sentence, "But if you don't go, general... Oh, I'll just go with your flag..."
"Ah? Ha?" Zhang Xiu froze, "Then, what about me?"
Xun Chen smiled and said, "The master is looking for you. You have to go and see the master first."
…
…
Xiahou Dun was going crazy.
The rugged mountain road winds eastward.
And in this mountain road, everything is filled with blood.
When Xiahou Dun was attacked for the first time, he was still thinking about why Huang Cheng didn't come to chase him, and he was still thinking about the gains and losses of the Battle of Jinyang...
Because he felt that the soldiers who had arranged to cut off the rear did not call the police, not only Xiahou Dun, but also his men walked away very relaxed.
Is it wrong to stick to Jinyang?
Judging from the results, Xiahou Dun was wrong.
However, the reason why he took the risk of sending troops to Taiyuan to capture Jinyang was not only for Jinyang, but more importantly, to defeat the hussar general Fei Qian and seize Guanzhong.
For the entire Han Dynasty, only by eliminating the dispute between the East and the West can the Han Dynasty be reunified and resurrected.
Of course, no matter from which perspective, Xiahou Dun felt that it would be better for this unification to be in the hands of Cao Cao, rather than being unified by Fei Qian.
Unfortunately, there are too many constraints in Shandong.
There are all kinds of gentry, gentry, and powerful families. Even though Cao Cao nominally owns Yuzhou, Jizhou, Xu Qingyoujing, and part of Yangzhou, in fact, what Cao Cao really controls is only a few key counties!
Yes, several counties!
The conflict between the central feudal dynasty and local governments was never limited to the Three Kingdoms period.
Even in the period when Cao Cao was powerful in history, Cao Cao was not able to fully control the fields in each state. Land taxes and oral calculations were still paid by the powerful squires in various places, and the only things that truly belonged to Cao Cao directly were the output of the farmland.
Colonel Tuntian and Lieutenant General Diannong.
So no matter what, if there is a chance to defeat Fei Qian, it will undoubtedly be the biggest stone that clears Cao Cao's way. However, Xiahou Dun did not expect to lose so quickly and hit so hard on this stone...
Of course, what was even worse was Xiahou Dun's retreat.
"boom!"
Amidst the explosions in the mountains, Xiahou Dun got off his horse and was suddenly frightened. He raised his front hooves and neighed, almost throwing Xiahou Dun off the mountain road!
After finally reining in his horse, Xiahou Dun looked up and saw green smoke rising from the top of the mountain directly in front of him, boulders crumbling, and all kinds of gravel scattered and whizzing down!
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
Throwing objects from high altitudes is undoubtedly extremely harmful.
Many of Cao's soldiers in the mountain road were beaten to death by rocks falling from the air before they could react.
Especially the crumbling boulder on the top of the mountain shocked Cao Jun in the mountain road!
At the top of the mountain, a noisy sound sounded. It seemed that someone was wondering why the boulder failed to fall, or was preparing for a second blast...
"Enemy attack!"
"Five Elements of Thunder!"
"It's the Hussars!"
Amidst the chaotic shouts, Cao Jun seemed to have been stabbed hard in the chrysanthemum. He suddenly ran forward and backward. Even Xiahou Dun's guards could not control the mountain road for a moment.
In chaos!
A peck and a drink are all determined by God.
If Xiahou Dun was not greedy for victory, he would not have captured Jinyang. He could have easily won the victory in Shexian County and fought according to the situation, advancing and retreating calmly.
But Xiahou Dun chose to go further and win more.
Just like in a casino, as long as you sit at the gambling table, there will never be a winner. Even if you win a little in the early stage, you may lose everything in the next game.
In the Battle of Taiyuan and Jinyang, Xiahou Dun was defeated too quickly.
This "fast" will cause Xiahou Dun to feel unwilling.
If it was an extreme confrontation between the two sides, and Xiahou Dun tried his best and was defeated in the end, then Xiahou Dun would definitely find a way to evacuate as much as possible, and then immediately roll as far away as possible without even looking back.
Don't dare.
But what if you lose too quickly?
It was as if I was knocked down by my opponent with one punch before I even used the five lightning whips. When I was scolding Huang Cheng for not practicing martial ethics, I would inevitably feel that I was attacked by a sneak attack. This was not considered aggrieved...
So Xiahou Dun wanted to ambush Huang Cheng in the mountain road to give Huang Cheng some color.
Xiahou Dun didn't believe that Huang Cheng could push those amazingly powerful metal cannons along the mountain road!
As a result, Huang Cheng did not come, but some Qiang people came.
When Xiahou Dun had no choice but to retreat, he discovered that Huang Cheng had not come, but had run ahead of him. The falling rocks on the top of the mountain were the work of Huang Cheng's men.
If Xiahou Dun ran away in one breath, Huang Cheng really wouldn't be able to catch up.
But now...
It was a pity that Huang Cheng's soldiers were obviously not as good at blasting as the craftsmen soldiers who were digging mountains and roads every day in the Qinling area of Hanzhong, so they failed to successfully push the boulder down the cliff during the first blast.
But this does not mean giving up. Huang Cheng's soldiers on the top of the mountain were shouting slogans, and the boulders began to shake amidst the chants.
"Quick! Rush over!"
At this moment, Xiahou Dun could not say anything to counterattack, nor could he send people to resist the attack of the falling rocks. He could only escape from the scope of the falling rocks as much as possible, especially once the huge rocks on the top of the mountain rolled down, even if they were not hit
Well, if you are blocked on the mountain road, you may have other means of attack, such as throwing some fire down, setting up a self-service barbecue or something...
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Xiahou Dun's guards also knew that the situation was urgent. After shouting a few times to no avail, they immediately drew their swords and chopped down Cao Jun's own soldiers who were blocking the way in front without hesitation!
"Get through! Get through!"
Xiahou Dun spurred his horse forward, trampling on the flesh and blood of his own soldiers.
These soldiers of Cao's army who were called their good brothers and good sons before the war have now become the objects of Xiahou Dun's most hatred and obstacles to his escape!
Cut it down and kill it!
The sword that was not stained with the blood of the hussars is now drinking the blood of its own soldiers...
However, this is also a traditional Shandong performing arts.
Is not it?
Before the war, I said, don't worry, everyone, only...
Cough cough cough.
Don't worry, everyone, the big man will take care of everything before and after you!
Now he is saying that he is shamelessly blocking the master's way, and he deserves to be damned!
A shrill scream sounded.
Flesh and blood flying.
Panic spread.
The smell of sulfur permeates the air.
People who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy always have the illusion that they are the protagonist and everyone else dies. Or they think that the soldiers die first, and then the military academy generals and the like are not easy to die. But in fact, when death comes,
At this time, everyone is equal.
Everyone on the battlefield will die equally, and many times, they will not die at the hands of stronger people at all.
The Prince of Hell has no patience to make a list of famous generals and check the book of life and death in order.
Life is tougher, life is thin, they are all equally fragile.
The fragility of the body.
There is some connection with spiritual will, but the connection is not big.
No matter how strong your body is and how strong your will is, if your blood dries up and your head is smashed, you will still die.
"Ahhhh..."
Another stone rolled down, like a cannonball hitting the mountain road, splashing blood and flesh with a crackling sound.
Have you ever seen fresh meat sauce?
The juicy kind.
Even the man who boasted himself to be the bravest among Cao's troops and could charge into battle alone without even frowning, his liver and gallbladder were broken and his hands and feet became weak under the scene before him.
How to decide the world in one battle, how to seize Guanzhong and kill the hussars, how to regain Guanzhong and revive the great Han...
Everything that Cao Jun claimed before in the military formation now seems so ridiculous.
After the soap bubble burst, I saw that all the colorful promises turned out to be in vain.
