Wang Can led his army on the road. When he was less than half a day away from Chencang County, he received the news sent by Xu Shu. He took the memorial from Xu Shu, stopped temporarily after reading it, and summoned Cao Cao and Guo Jia to his side.
discussion.
Wang Can glanced at Cao Cao and Guo Jia and said: "I have just received news from Xu Shu. He suggested that I lead an army to make a surprise attack on the rear of Maodun, cut off Maodun's retreat, and then destroy the food and grass in the rear of Maodun. For
What do you think about this matter?"
While talking, Wang Can handed the memorial to Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia finished reading it, he handed it to Cao Cao.
Whether it is Guo Jia or Cao Cao, they are both extremely capable and good at making plans, marching and forming formations.
Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Xu Shu's suggestion. The Huns cavalry under Mao Dun's command come and go like the wind and are not easy to capture. If we want to defeat Mao Dun, we must first cut off its retreat and then burn its food and grass. In this way
, Maodun has lost its food and fodder, and without a stable rear, it is bound to be defeated. Not only that, we are surprised, and we will definitely be able to catch Maodun off guard."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Your Majesty came to Chencang County quietly with the purpose of winning by surprise. Xu Shu's plan coincides with His Majesty's. This is the best strategy."
Both agreed.
After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "However, I am opposed to His Majesty leading the troops to go out. In this battle, I am willing to lead the army as the main general to cut off Maodun's retreat."
Guo Jia also said: "I second my opinion, as the king of a country, it is not suitable for your Majesty to put yourself in danger."
Wang Can shook his head and said forcefully: "How can I not participate in the war with Maodun this time? What's more, with my martial arts, who can hurt me now?"
In fact, now that Wang Can's martial arts skills have improved, he can't even get up close with ordinary swords.
It is extremely difficult to hurt Wang Can.
Cao Cao said again: "Your Majesty, when it comes to martial arts, you are at the top of the world. But this surprise attack does not require such strong combat power. Based on my consideration, Mao Dun raised his troops to attack Chencang County. Although Zhao Yun continues to resist, Zhao Yun
Our strength is limited and we are in need of reinforcements. Your Majesty can lead an army to Chencang County and resist with Zhao Yun. The minister, on the other hand, can lead an army and quietly go around to the rear of Maodun and destroy the foundation behind it."
After Wang Can heard this, he thought about it carefully.
This is doable.
Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty, I agree with Duke Cao's suggestion."
After Wang Can thought about it, he said: "Well, Brother Meng De will preside over this battle. With Brother Meng De as the commander, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong will be assisted, Dian Wei and Guo Jia will follow me to Chencang County.
.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed.
Guo Jia also directly agreed.
Guo Jia didn't have much ambition as to whether he could go on the battlefield in person. As long as he could show off his talents by Wang Can's side and apply what he had learned, that would be enough.
Wang Can immediately transferred Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others, and then made arrangements.
The army was immediately redivided.
Cao Cao mobilized 6,000 elite soldiers and took a detour to the rear of Maodun. Wang Can led the remaining soldiers and went straight to Chencang County. When Wang Can was about to arrive in Chencang County, Maodun had already attacked the city again.
The world has undergone great changes, spiritual energy has grown, and the strength of the Huns soldiers under Mao Dun has also greatly increased. Including Mao Dun, their combat effectiveness has also improved a lot, and their combat effectiveness is astonishing.
It was precisely this that caused great pressure on Zhao Yun.
On the city tower, Zhao Yun led his troops to arrive one after another.
"General, the Huns soldiers have climbed onto the tower and are almost unstoppable."
The general responsible for leading the resistance shouted loudly.
Zhao Yun was holding an enemy with a silver gentian gun. As soon as he heard the general's cry, he led his soldiers to kill the Huns soldiers who had climbed up the tower. Now Zhao Yun is like a firefighter. There is something wrong somewhere.
, he rushed there.
However, after all, there is only one person in Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's individual strength is strong, and there are no Huns generals who can match Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun's troops are insufficient, especially under the offensive of the army under Mao Dun, Zhao Yun's individual force is still weak.
Even though Zhao Yun went all out, the tower was gradually unable to stop him.
Xu Shu had already arrived at Zhao Yun's side and said: "General Zhao, Maodun seems to be going crazy today, and his offensive is extremely fierce. We can't stop it, retreat, and evacuate Chencang County immediately."
"No, we will never retreat until the last moment!"
Zhao Yun was covered in blood and answered forcefully.
He led his army to guard Chencang County and was never willing to be a coward who retreated. As long as he could still fight, Zhao Yun would fight to the end. He looked up at the place where Wang Can was about to arrive, still holding on to hope in his heart, just in case Wang Can led his army
If the army creates a crisis for Moton from the rear, then this battle will be a complete victory.
Therefore, Zhao Yun must defend to the death.
Zhao Yun must support him until Wang Can arrives, and he must support him until Wang Can destroys Mao Dun's retreat.
When Xu Shu heard Zhao Yun's words and saw Zhao Yun's tired look, he felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he would not have advised Wang Can to make a surprise attack on Maodun's rear, otherwise Zhao Yun would not be in trouble.
Xu Shu said: "General Zhao, we cannot act on impulse."
Zhao Yun swung his spear to kill the Hun soldiers who were attacking the tower, and said: "This general is not acting out of whim, but it is necessary."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Xu Shu and continued to kill the enemy.
While Zhao Yun was resisting desperately, among the Huns soldiers outside the city, where the Huns' royal flag was located, Mao Dun was riding on his horse, looking at Chencang County, which was already in trouble, with a bright smile on his face.
Maodun is now around thirty.
Both his political experience and his own strength are at their peak.
Maodun's goal was to capture Chang'an and then prepare to attack Luoyang. As long as he captured the Sili area and Maodun occupied Liangzhou and Sili areas, he would have enough capital.
"Kill, kill Chencang County for me."
Mao Dun gave the order again and gave the soldiers the order to attack by force.
In fact, the Huns now have the upper hand. Each of the Huns received orders from Maodun, and their offensive was so fierce that the Shu army's defense on the city tower was in danger.
"Da da!"
Suddenly, in the distance behind Maodun, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves.
The sound of these horses' hooves gathered together to form a mighty torrent, and even the ground trembled slightly.
"Kill! Kill!!"
The shouts of killing came and went.
The sound became louder and louder from far to near, and it was clearly transmitted to the heads of Maodun and Chencang counties.
As soon as Mao Dun heard the cry of killing coming from behind, his expression suddenly changed and he ordered: "Touman, you immediately lead your troops to block the reinforcements from the Shu army behind, and don't let them get close to Chencang County."
Touman was a general under Mao Dun.
He was a tall man, nearly two meters tall, and a mace in his hand shone with a cold light. He galloped out, cupping his fists and saying: "Don't worry, Da Shanyu, I will definitely defeat the reinforcements of the Shu army in the rear.
"
"Go for it!"
Mao Dun flicked his sleeves and gave the order.
While Touman was leaving with his troops, Zhao Yun also heard shouts of death coming from the distance on the city tower in Chencang County. (To be continued)
