Chapter 428: The First Ming of the Young Phoenix (3)
Chapter 428 The first call of the phoenix chick (3)
Fengmingtan is a river beach on the northwest pastoral plain.
It is about 230 miles away from Hongshuiji. From Fengmingtan to Hongshuiji, the cavalry can reach it in a day and night. This was once the residence of Xiutu people, and there was no name. However, after the Han army occupied it,
It's called Fengming Beach.
"What?"
Cao Peng looked solemn and asked sternly: "Pang Tong was in Muyuan in the northwest, and he was defeated in seven battles?"
"Exactly!"
"So what's the situation now?"
"Previously, Commander Pang had set up seven camps in the northwest Muyuan, but now they are all occupied by the Qiang and Hu. The whereabouts of Commander Pang and Han Sima are unknown. Lieutenant Deng led 1,500 troops to defend Fengming Beach to resist the Qiang and Hu.
cavalry."
Cao Peng fell into deep thought.
After Pang Tong arrived in the northwest Muyuan, he successively set up seven small villages.
Deng Fan guarded the main village of Fengmingtan, while Pang Tong and Han De guarded the remaining seven small villages, so that they could respond to each other and provide reinforcements.
When Pang Tong first established a stronghold, Deng Fan sent someone to inform Cao Peng.
In Deng Fan's view, there was no need to set up so many small villages. If the Qiang and Hu invaded, a Fengmingtan main village would be enough. After Cao Peng received the letter, he did not stop Pang Tong. He believed that Pang Tong would never miss the chance.
He acted like this for no reason, and there must be a deeper meaning... But he didn't expect that the Qiang and Hu were approaching. In just six days, Pang Tong's seven small villages were wiped out. Only one main village in the hands of Deng Fan was left, which was still suffering.
I don’t know how long I can support it.
This also caught Cao Peng off guard, and he couldn't help but worry about Deng Fan's safety.
"Youxue, do you need me to send troops to help?"
Zhang Ji opened his mouth and asked.
Xia Houlan stood up and said loudly: "Sir, Lan is willing to lead a troop of troops and set off immediately to assist fifth brother Deng."
"Students are also willing to go together."
Cao Zhang and Niu Gang intervened to ask for help, both eyes fixed on Cao Peng.
Cao Peng, however, calmed down and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"What did Mr. Li say?"
"Mr. Li just said, let the general make a decision."
Who is Mr. Li?
No one in the big tent knew it.
Jia Xing's heart trembled slightly. When he looked at Cao Peng, there was a long-lasting meaning in his eyes...
There are three chapters of Cao, and there are also some subsequent moves.
Cao Peng closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"
"Did Captain Deng ever write to you asking for help?"
"Never!"
"As for Pang Shiyuan, is there any news?"
"No news has come yet."
Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh!
Meng Gongwei and Pang Lin also laughed...
Among everyone here, the ones who know Pang Tong best are Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Pang Lin. One is Pang Tong’s younger brother, and the other two have been classmates with Pang Tong for many years and are familiar with each other. The smiles of the four people also made everyone in the big tent laugh.
It was a bit inexplicable. Cao Peng looked at the smiles of the four people. Although he felt a little uneasy, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Notify the Red Water Camp immediately and do not take any unauthorized action.
Tell Liang Kuan and Jiang Xu to speed up the construction of Hongshui County. Hao Zhao may strengthen military training, but he cannot attack without my order."
"Here!"
The scouts left in a hurry.
But in the big tent, everyone was still puzzled.
"Also, Jing Guan Shi Yuan Miao wrote."
Cao Peng glanced at everyone and said, "Prefect Zhang, could you please tell the ferry to speed up the delivery.
Zishan, you and Ziyou lead the two thousand families who crossed the river first, and set off first to Hongshui County... After arriving at Hongshui Camp, hold my military talisman and take over the project. Ziyou and Bodao will guard the camp.
As long as the camp is safe."
"That Fengmingtan..."
"Fengmingtan, nothing happened!"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and invited Zhang Ji to drink.
To be honest, he was not very confident. He had known Pang Tong for three years, but he was not sure whether he could stand alone with Pang Tong. The reason why he trusted so much was because Cao Peng believed that,
The famous Feng Chu in history, even if he has not yet reached his peak state, the gap will not be too big.
But, what is Pang Tong's peak state like?
Cao Peng really didn't understand much.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong seemed to have nothing outstanding after his serial strategy. When Liu Bei took control of Xichuan, he died before leaving the army, so Zhuge Liang had to lead his troops to rescue. So, how capable is Pang Tong? Cao Peng thinks
, it can be tested in the battle of Fengmingtan... However, this requires great courage.
Cao Peng is gambling!
He was betting, and Pang Tong was confident.
Seeing the relaxed expressions of Xu Shu and the others, Cao Peng felt much more relaxed.
I don’t know, how is Fifth Brother doing now?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The terrain of Fengmingtan is extremely special.
The entire camp is long and narrow, blocked on a narrow passage. At the beginning of setting up the main camp, Deng Fan and Pang Tong went through an extremely rigorous design. The main camp was divided into countless small villages, which were connected to each other.
, a fort within a fort. If you want to break through this fort, it’s like playing a level-clearing game, attacking one pass after another.
The Qiang and Hu heroes, Yadan, blocked by moths and burned their weapons, formed an array outside Fengming Beach under the command of Tang Ti.
Qiang and Hu soldiers attacked repeatedly and paid a heavy price.
They defeated the Han army in a row, winning seven out of seven battles, and occupied seven small villages of the Han army.
This also made Tang Ti's confidence burst, and the Governor's Army personally pursued him all the way to Fengming Beach.
However, on Fengming Beach, it was difficult for them to move forward. Almost every time they conquered a pass, hundreds of people had to lose their lives.
In just three days, more than 3,000 Qiang soldiers were killed or injured in Fengmingtan.
The Qiang soldiers were not good at attacking fortified areas. They had relied on their winning streak before to gain overwhelming momentum. However, they did not expect to be blocked on Fengming Beach and suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the twelfth pass on Fengming Beach was breached, the pass was in flames.
soaring.
Yadan stepped forward with some bitterness: "Your Majesty, can you stop?"
"Why stop?"
"Your Majesty, our children have been exhausted after three consecutive days of attacking.
Although we have made an inch of progress, the casualties are too great... If we continue to fight like this, the children will be exhausted before we can break through Fengming Beach. Our previous attack was too smooth, and the children did not bring much dry food. How about that?
Let’s take a rest, order people to supervise the transportation of food and grass, make some replenishments, and then attack Fengmingtan, maybe we can defeat it in one battle?”
"Yes, what Yashuai said is absolutely true."
Mo Zhezai looked at Tang Ti distressedly, expressing his agreement with Yadan's idea.
In the past few days, Yadan, Shao Ge and Mo Zhanzhao's troops had suffered so many casualties that the three of them were unwilling to continue the attack.
"Your Majesty, the Han army is actually like a bird in a cage.
Even if Dou Lan is willing to support, I'm afraid he won't be able to mobilize manpower. It's better to rest for the night and continue the attack tomorrow morning. I think those Han troops will soon be unable to withstand it... As long as it takes another day or two, Fengmingtan will definitely be able to break through."
The three handsome men all suggested this, and Tang Ti had no choice but to take it seriously.
In fact, he also discovered this problem.
After the Qiang soldiers continued to attack but were still unable to break through the Fengmingtan camp, their morale showed signs of decline.
Coupled with the previous winning streak, everyone felt proud.
When Tang Ti ordered the pursuit, the Qiang soldiers did not carry much baggage and were not even prepared to attack the fortress. As a result, the rear army and the central army distanced themselves. At this time, the rear army had just arrived at the seventh camp. There is still one day's journey from Fengmingtan. If that doesn't work, send someone to the rear army and order Yue Ji to escort the baggage and speed it up?
If you have all the weapons and equipment to attack the enemy, then Fengmingtan Headquarters will really not have anything to worry about...
"In that case, let the children camp on the spot and take a rest."
Yadan and others let out a sigh of relief.
They were really worried that Tang Ti would continue to attack regardless of the cost.
The resilience of the Han army is so strong! And the design of this general stronghold is so damn wicked... After finally breaking through a pass, I thought I was about to break into the core of the enemy army. Those who didn't want to meet them were again A pass.
These thirty miles of Fengming Beach are like a long dragon.
Once or twice, the Qiang soldiers might not feel anything.
But for the first time, the morale of the Qiang soldiers did begin to decline.
They always let you go through ups and downs, but don't let you see the rainbow... Victory is clearly right in front of you, but it seems out of reach. Under such a blow, the excitement of winning consecutive battles will gradually be worn away. In the end, Only fatigue, hunger and cold are left. Under such circumstances, even if victory is achieved, what is the use?
Fortunately, Tang Ti complied with his advice and at least did not insist on continuing the attack.
The setting sun shrouded Fengming Beach in a bloody light.
In the distance, the burning pass fire has been extinguished, leaving only thick smoke rising straight into the sky...
In Hexi in October, the day and night temperatures are very high.
You may not feel anything while fighting, but once you stop, the feeling of pain and weakness all over your body will hit you immediately.
When the night wind blows, people can't help but shiver.
The Qiang soldiers marched so fast that all kinds of baggage had no time to keep up. In the past, as long as they won, there would be camps where they could stay. But now, these Qiang soldiers didn't even have a tent that could shelter the phoenix. They had to spread out and look for it. A shelter from the wind to avoid severe cold.
Night gradually enveloped Fengming Beach.
In the distance, in the Han army's stronghold, there were faint sounds of fighting.
The sad sound of the Hujia, which was suddenly far away and suddenly approaching, echoed in the sky above Fengmingtan, making the Qiang soldiers feel waves of inexplicable sadness.
so cold!
Even Tang Ti and others couldn't bear it.
Fortunately, they have a special status, so they can still have a place to protect themselves from the wind and cold.
I don't know how many times better than those shivering Qiang soldiers who cuddled up against their horses in the cold wind and relied on their body heat to keep warm.
Ten miles away from Fengming Beach, there is a shelter with lush wormwood.
Pang Tong was wearing leather armor and a black fur coat. He reined in his horse and raised his hands to look out, his expression looking particularly solemn and solemn.
Hande sat not far behind him, silently wiping the giant wheel ax in his hand.
Lines and lines of Han soldiers squatted in the wormwood bushes, their faces smeared with black ash, leaving only a pair of bright eyes. They were all wearing round shields and long knives. The knives were placed beside them and covered with round shields. There were
Some people stared nervously, and some people happily refused the cold biscuits. A rough calculation showed that there were about 1,500 people, and there was no sound.
Suddenly, flames shot into the sky on Fengming Beach.
Threads of wolf smoke soared into the sky...
Pang Tong's eyes lit up and he smiled immediately.
"My sons, prepare to attack!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***), ***, your support is my greatest
