"Hahahaha! Old General Huang, is it possible that your military advisor has lost his position?"
"This way of sending troops is not like what Zhuge Wolong did?"
Another day of fierce attack on Dingjun Mountain.
Xia Houyuan coordinated the overall situation and guarded Dingjun Mountain impregnably. The small camp, just because it occupied the top of Dingjun Mountain, was like the Great Wall in front of Liu Beijun.
Huang Zhong led the soldiers who were not afraid of death to rush forward, but every time, as long as they rushed to a position that was still fifty feet away from Cao Jun's camp in Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan would personally lead his troops to rush out of the camp and repel their offensive.
.
Not to mention, depending on the terrain, Xiahou Yuan constantly ordered the soldiers to throw rolling stones, roll logs, and pour out kerosene.
The entire slope of Dingjun Mountain may be less than three to five miles long - but there are piles of corpses everywhere on this road.
While the fire was raging, Huang Zhong's heart was also stung by the tragedy.
"Don't retreat! Keep attacking!"
Huang Zhong was in a completely different mood. Even though he was roaring angrily, his eyes were bloodshot with guilt.
This... is a real sea of swords and fire.
For three consecutive days, Liu Bei's army suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, but failed to achieve any visible results.
This is already a failure.
Zhuge Liang in the camp was livid, looking at the casualties in front of him and constantly thinking about something.
The generals around him, such as Liu Feng, Lei Bo and others, were all covered in blood. Among them, Liu Feng even injured an arm, and his pale complexion showed his weakness at the moment.
Liu Bei sat at the side cautiously, he... couldn't think of any way.
The key is that when he heard that Zhang Fei had been defeated again, his heart was no longer in Dingjun Mountain.
They have also lost the battle here, and they have also lost the battle on the front. Why do they still stay here in despair?
"Kong Ming... one day... if it still doesn't work..."
Give up on Dingjunshan.
Liu Bei wanted to say this, but when he saw Zhuge Liang's terrifying eyes, Liu Bei swallowed his words again.
There is really no one who can be as good as him as the Lord.
But besides Zhuge Liang, he couldn't trust anyone.
Plus——
"Commander! We...we really don't have time to waste. As you said, if the January period has come and we haven't carried out any attack on Cao Jun, then let Liu Zhang cut off our food. That would be
Our desperate situation!"
"I know!"
With a bang, Zhuge Liang slapped the table with a livid face. This horrifying sight made everyone tremble, and no one dared to raise any opinions.
"I know...how could I not have considered it?"
Who can understand Zhuge Liang's pain?
As a strategic strategist, why wouldn't he want to arrange everything and make everything run according to his ideas?
But... one accident after another always made him feel like he had been abandoned by God?
"Is God trying to kill me?"
This question arose in his mind, but he quickly put it behind him.
Wei Yan, Liu Zhang, Yi Xiaotian, Dingjunshan, new equipment... countless distracting thoughts exploded in his mind. It can only be said that if he was not Zhuge Liang, he would have collapsed personally.
"Yes, it's time... The road to Dingjun Mountain has been completely blocked by Cao Jun. We can no longer waste our time here... Let's give it another day... There is still one thing we have not completed."
In the end, Zhuge Liang agreed with Liu Bei's statement.
He was desperate at Dingjunshan. Without this key to winning or losing, he could only seek to maximize the beneficial information while minimizing losses.
Just treat it as a test - when this idea appeared in Zhuge Liang's mind, he had actually failed.
"Anything else?"
Liu Bei asked doubtfully.
Zhuge Liang's eyelids trembled twice, he suppressed his anger and said in a hoarse voice:
"Horse...war horse...where is the war horse I want! In three days, we couldn't capture even one of Cao's army's horses!!"
Zhuge Liang finally lost his mind with his roar.
In three days, they suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, but not even one of Cao's horses was captured - or in other words, it was as if they knew they were going to surrender the horses. In these three days, Xia Houyuan's attitude towards the cavalry was
The protection is astounding.
This...is certainly not an accident.
——
"General, why don't we lead the cavalry to charge out? I think Liu Bei's army has still lost the will to fight. If we can charge again due to this terrain, we may be able to gain greater gains?"
The deputy general around Xia Houyuan raised such a pointed question when the fighting outside the camp was heating up.
Xia Houyuan has been standing at the entrance of the camp, like a god of war, guarding the countless elite cavalry of Cao's army behind him.
When the deputy general raised questions like this, the cavalrymen were also gearing up - they always thought that Xia Houyuan planned to let them kill him at the most critical moment, but they did not expect that they could not even touch each other's clothes in the past three days.
"Two more battalions will replace the brothers upstairs, and the archers will change formations and take a break - the cavalry is not allowed to go out without my order!"
"What! This... why is this! General! As long as we join the battle, we will easily defeat Liu Bei's army! Why... why are we allowed to watch our brothers die in vain! Why is it us!"
This time, the cavalry battalion exploded.
On Dingjun Mountain, after the increase in troops, there were a total of 25,000 troops and horses, 10,000 of which were cavalry equipped with horseshoes. However, despite this, Xia Houyuan never sent them into battle except for the first battle.
.
Xia Houyuan will not explain this deliberately.
He remembered Jiang Wan talking to him when he left Nanzheng City:
"Although it is not an order, I hope General Miaocai will remember that the later the enemy discovers the new equipment, the longer our army's advantage will be maintained."
After Xia Houyuan completely trusted Jiang Wan, he clearly understood that his mission was not to defeat Liu Bei's army, but to prevent Liu Bei's army from passing through this place.
For this reason, on the contrary, the more the opponent wants to attack the city, the more he can hold the opponent back, and the more perfectly his goal is achieved.
Just as he expected - on the fourth day, with the bonus of Zhuge Liang's Roar, Huang Zhong led the army to exert a combat power that was many times greater than before.
However, the unconventional scene was Huang Zhong calling for formation.
"Xiahou Miaocai! Why don't you dare to fight with me! Where are your elite cavalry? I haven't learned the lesson yet! Are you just a coward?"
Huang Zhong picked up the big sword and split the flying arrows, while shouting at Cao Jun's camp.
"Xiahou Miaocai! Come out! Fight to the death with me quickly!"
"They're in a hurry——"
As a result, Xia Houyuan, who was in the camp, heard Huang Zhong's roar and just sneered.
