Farmer of Shu Han

The front road is blocked, the back road is cut off, and there is no food in hand.

No matter who it is, when encountering such a situation, they will panic.

However, Zhang Hua was also a figure who followed his brother Zhang Gongping through the Liangzhou rebellion.

He made a decisive decision, and while he was still able to stabilize the morale of the army, he secretly ordered the battalions to prepare for retreat.

At night, the Wei army made meals at the third watch, pulled out the camp at the fifth watch, bound the hoofs of the horses, took the titles of men, and quietly retreated towards Jincheng without lowering the flag or turning off the fire.

From Jincheng to Yuzhong, there are more than 100 miles, and it usually takes three days to walk, and the rations for five days are enough.

When it was dawn, Gao Xiang looked at the Wei Jun camp on the opposite side, and saw the green smoke shrouded in the opposite side, and the drums were rumbling at the same time.

There was worry in his eyes.

Today is the last day for General Wei to set a deadline.

After today, I have to get out of the way so that the Cao bandits in Yuzhong City and the bandit reinforcements from Jincheng can join up.

Cao bandits have many cavalry troops, and even if they can capture Yuzhong, most of Cao bandits will escape.

While Gao Xiang was thinking, he made the soldiers under him prepare for the battle.

Unexpectedly, the sun was about to rise to the sky, and the gate of the camp on the opposite side was closed, and there was no sign of sending troops.

This made Gao Xiang secretly relieved.

It seems that the continuous fighting in the past few days has forced Thief Cao to take a rest.

Although it was guessed that Thief Cao would not play today, Gao Xiang still did not dare to take it lightly.

Throughout the day, he kept his eyes on the opposite side.

Until the sun set and the heat began to subside, the birds took advantage of the last opportunity before dark to look for food in groups.

Only then did Gao Xiang pass down the order to get the battalions ready to join the Chinese army.

He glanced at the west side with some worry: General Feng has not heard from him until now, and he doesn't know what's going on now?

It's just that the camp on the west side, where birds are constantly flying up and down, blocks his sight.

Gao Xiang turned around and took two steps. He suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned around suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He suddenly took a step, rushed to the height of the camp, set up a pergola, faced the sunset, and just stared at the opposite side.

In the somewhat blurred golden yellow, many flying birds were bathed in the afterglow, circling and falling to the opposite camp.

"Come on!" Gao Xiang suddenly shouted, "Beat the drums!"

The Han army barracks opened quickly, and soldiers came out one after another, forming formations.

At the same time, a small group of cavalry was dispatched first, trying to walk around the gate of the Wei army camp.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wei Jun's barracks suddenly opened wide, and even the wooden bridge of the trench was put down.

A dozen old and weak soldiers walked out of the gate of the village holding white flags.

Seeing all this in front of him, how could Gao Xiang still not understand what was going on?

His complexion changed at the moment.

He ordered someone to take over the Wei army camp, and he led his men back to the Chinese army on horseback like a storm.

"What? Bandit Cao has escaped?"

When Wei Yan heard the news, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

"General Wei, Cao thief ran away last night." Gao Xiang was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, without the support of the Cao bandits in the west, Yuzhong City will surely be taken down safely.

What's worrying is that Cao thief suddenly retreated, which is very strange.

"General Wei, the Cao bandits withdrew their troops quietly, but they didn't dare to let us find out. It must be General Feng who was behind the scenes."

"Should we send some troops to follow the bandits west, so we can see how General Feng is doing?"

Hearing the rumble outside, Wei Yan's expression quickly returned to calm.

"Chasing? Bandit Cao ran away last night, now it's getting dark, how do you chase him?"

"Besides, wouldn't it be better if Bandit Cao ran away? We happen to take Yuzhong City tomorrow!"

When Gao Xiang heard this, he became anxious, "But General Feng..."

"Feng Yong's side is to attract the attention of Cao thief in Jincheng. If he really did something to attract Cao thief away, wouldn't it be just right?"

Wei Yan interrupted him involuntarily, and opened the tent at the same time, looking at Yuzhong City not far away.

Just a stone flew over and hit the city wall.

I saw the dust flying, the soil falling one after another, and it could even be seen that the dilapidated city wall was about to collapse.

The rumbling sound reached the ears at the same time.

"Come here, send an order to Huo Yi of the engineering battalion, and tell him that the city must be destroyed tomorrow, or it will be dealt with by military law!"

Wei Yan ordered loudly.

Then he turned around and told Gao Xiang, "General Gao, since the bandit Cao's reinforcements have retreated, you don't have to move back. You will stay on the west side tomorrow, and don't let the bandit Cao flee to Jincheng."

Gao Xiang opened his mouth, but when he saw Wei Yan looking at him coldly, he involuntarily cupped his fists: "No!"

Zhang Hua naturally didn't know that if he left one day late, he might be able to meet the Wei army from Yuzhong City and retreat to Jincheng together.

Today, he is leading the people and heading west quickly.

After he led the army across the natural pass formed by the river and the remaining mountains in the south, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Jincheng is called as impenetrable as gold is because this only road has to go through at least two dangerous places before reaching the city of Jincheng.

This first risk is this natural pass.

Now that I have entered the pass, even if the Shu soldiers chase me, I don't have to be afraid anymore.

"Rest at the pass tonight, and go on the road tomorrow."

Zhang Hua asked someone to pass down the order.

If you want to stop the enemy who wants to come from the east, this pass is the best place.

Although no Shu people who looted food and grass were found here, Zhang Hua was not relieved.

If this pass is a mountain pass formed by the remaining veins of high mountains, then the second dangerous pass that we will pass through tomorrow can be called a water pass.

In the boundary of Jincheng, there are many rivers flowing from the mountains in the south and pouring into the big river.

Shanguan goes westward for more than 20 li, and there are still high mountains extending to the edge of the big river.

Although it is not as steep as Shanguan, it has one more stream than Shanguan.

If this flow of water is used as a barrier, and the rest of the high mountains are relied on, the westward army will also have to stop.

The Han army that robbed food and grass is not in Shanguan, I only hope they are not in Shuiguan.

It's just that Zhang Hua doesn't know that there is a psychological effect in this world called Murphy's Law.

When he led the Wei army to the east bank of Shuiguan in panic the next day, he saw a village standing opposite.

Looking at the Han army flag flying high, Zhang Hua's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Not only him, but even the generals around him couldn't help showing panic.

Zhang Hua reined in his horse by the water and shouted loudly in person: "Zhang Hua, the prefect of Jincheng in the Great Wei Dynasty, may I ask who is leading the army on the other side?"

He must not be reconciled to fall to such a point without knowing why.

Even if he is dead, he still needs to know who has cheated him.

Only a voice from the other side could be heard from afar: "Han, Marquis of Jiequanting, the leader of Qiang School Captain Feng Yong."

Feng Yong?

Zhang Hua was taken aback.

Thinking of the words Jiequantinghou again, Zhang Hua's expression finally changed drastically.

I see!

Last year, he led the army to attack Longguan, cutting off the passage between Longyou and Guanzhong.

Now I don't know how to cut off my retreat back to Jincheng.

This Feng Yong is indeed Xiao Wenhe!

It was a vicious and vicious move as soon as it came out, it was really hard to guard against.

At this time, another voice came from the opposite side: "Mr. Zhang, now you have pursuers behind you, and you are blocked in front of you. Deep ditches block the road, and you are in a desperate situation!"

"If you turn your back on your arms and take off your armor, and surrender with courtesy, you can protect yourself and the lives of the soldiers, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Zhang Hua almost couldn't catch his breath.

I just wanted to ask about your background, but you actually took the opportunity to persuade you to surrender? An dare to deceive me?

I saw him shouting loudly, "I'm afraid it's General Feng who is in a desperate situation? People from Yuzhong and Shu didn't chase after me."

"Now General Feng seems to be relying on the water, blocking me to the east, but he doesn't know that there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Great Wei in Liangzhou behind Jincheng, and it's only a few days' journey from here."

"At that time, I will lead the army to cross the river and attack, and Jincheng's elite soldiers will attack from behind. I don't know how General Feng will respond?"

Hearing this, Feng Yong frowned slightly: Could it be that Wei Yan really didn't send troops to chase after him?

Instead, Jiang Wei who was standing next to him said, "General Wei has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not know that this is a good opportunity to wipe out Cao's bandits?"

"If this Cao bandit is wiped out on the east bank, and no horse can return to Jincheng, then the courage of the Cao bandit in Jincheng will be broken, and entering the city will be like turning the palm of your hand."

Feng Yong nodded: "It makes sense."

But he sighed in his heart.

Boyue, you don't know the grievances between Wei Yan and me! I hope that old man Wei can really capture this fighter plane without communicating with each other.

Zhang Hua waited for a long time before he heard another voice from the opposite side: "Since that's the case, why doesn't that eunuch Zhang look at me across the river for a few days?"

Where did I get the food to meet you across the river?

Zhang Hua turned his horse's head and came to the front of the Wei army's formation. Looking at the pale soldiers, he knew what they were afraid of.

Immediately, people gathered the main generals and schools in the army, "Your parents, wives and children are all in Liangzhou."

"If you surrender to a thief, life and death are unpredictable, and parents, wives and children will also be severely punished according to the national law."

"I see that there are only a few thousand captives from Shu on the opposite side. If all the lords can attack them together, they may not have a chance to destroy the thieves."

"It's only a few tens of miles to Jincheng, and it can be reached in a day at the earliest."

"This day's journey is a perilous road that hinders the reunion of the princes with their parents, wives and children."

"Why don't all the lords return to Liangzhou together after breaking the thieves and making meritorious deeds? It also prevents parents, wives and children from leaning on the door and looking forward to it?"

Don't hold back when returning to the teacher, Wei Jun, who was eager to return to Jincheng, heard Zhang Hua's words, and some people began to turn red.

Obviously, Feng Yong seemed to have violated the Art of War this time.

"Breaking the thief! Breaking the thief!"

"Okay, after you go down, please make it clear to all the soldiers: This battle is not only a battle of our lives, but also a fight for our parents, wives and children!"

Zhang Hua drew his sword and shouted.

This bridge over Chuan Shui has been destroyed by Feng Yong's men, and all the nearby ships have also been dragged back to the west bank.

Fortunately, there is a distance of more than ten miles between the big river and the rest of the high mountains. For such a long river, there are places where the river is wide and shallow, and the Wei army can directly wade through it.

The main battlefields of the Han and Wei armies were also concentrated in this section of waters.

The Han army was guarding, so they didn't need to go into the water, and they arrived a day and a half earlier than them, and were ready.

The Wei army is attacking and has to wade ashore.

But Zhang Hua feels that he has one of the biggest advantages, and that is the cavalry.

And they are returning to the teacher, and they must work hard to return to the teacher.

The sound of whining ox horns sounded, and the Wei army began to gather on the east bank.

Fortunately, it is summer and the river is not cold.

The captured Wei Junmin husband helped Feng Yong a lot.

They not only helped the Han army set up camps, but also dug a trench on the west bank where they could directly wade.

In other words, the Wei army on the east bank crossed the river and had to cross another ditch before they could fight the Han army hand-to-hand.

So Feng Yong is not afraid.

Even if there is a superior force on the opposite side, this river and a trench are enough to make up for it.

What's more, Wei Jun's superior force may not necessarily be an advantage against his own elite soldiers.

The Wei army had already lined up, with large shields in the front row and spears and halberds in the back, and began to cross the river head-on.

At the same time, Jingqi's wings spread out, ready to look for an opportunity to break through the opening.

"Kill back to Jincheng!"

"Kill back to Jincheng!"

"Kill back to Jincheng!"

...

Wei Jun began to shout angrily, they were ready to go all out from the beginning, and they spared no effort.

The pawns advanced slowly in formation and began to enter the water.

The sun was hanging in the sky, and the calves of the soldiers of the Wei army were all submerged in the water, which was comfortable.

It's just that no one feels the coolness, because the crowd on the other side is crowded, and the crossbow arrows will be fired at any time.

Layer after layer of water ripples, constantly washing the river bank.

Feng Yong looked at Wei Jun, and suddenly said: "Wei Jun in Jincheng is considered an elite."

Thinking about it, Yuzhong and Jincheng were the two most important strongholds for Cao Wei to defend the big Han from entering Liangzhou.

Jincheng, in particular, is the top priority.

Presumably, many of Liangzhou's elite are guarding the gate of Jincheng.

"Peng"!

"Peng"...

The heavy crossbow was the first to show off its power, and the arrows specially made for the heavy crossbow were long and thick.

"Raise the shield!"

Wei Jun's school lieutenant shouted loudly.

Standing on the shore, the Han army had a certain height advantage, coupled with the overbearing crossbow strength, several wooden shields were shot through on the spot because they were only covered with leather, almost hurting the soldiers behind the shields.

The most exaggerated thing is that a small wooden buckler was shot directly.

Large shields don't cover everyone.

More than a dozen unlucky soldiers of the Wei army were shot through their bodies on the spot and fell into the water. A stream of blood filled the air, spread out along the water flow, and gradually faded.

Under the banner of the commander-in-chief of the Han army, Feng Yong put down the binoculars and handed them to Jiang Wei who was standing beside him: "Boyue, take a look."

Zhang Yi and Ju Fu are not here, they need to lead their respective battalions to fight.

As a mobile strategic force, the Tiger Army was left behind by Feng Yong.

Naturally, Jiang Wei could only follow Feng Yong and add to it at any time.

"Your Majesty, Cao Bandit's elite cavalry have spread to both sides, and I'm afraid they want to cross the water from the two wings."

"Crossing." Feng Yonghun said indifferently, "Wait for them to come around and see how capable they are."

At the same time, I feel a little pity that Liu Hun's cavalry is not here, otherwise I will let you know what a real cavalry is.

"Your Majesty, the Tiger Infantry Army is at your disposal at any time, and will definitely not let the Cao thief cross the east bank..."

"I've never been worried about the thief Cao on the other side."

Feng Yong shook his head, "What I'm worried about is, how many bandit soldiers are there in Jincheng behind us?"

The current situation is that the Jincheng reinforcements led by Zhang Hua are caught in the middle by Feng Yong and Wei Yan.

And Feng Yong himself was caught in the middle by Zhang Hua and Jin Cheng.

The main thing to watch now is that Wei Yan arrived first and cooperated with Feng Yong to eat up the Wei army on the east bank.

It was Jincheng's Wei Jun who arrived first and cooperated with Zhang Hua to break through Feng Yong's interception.

After all, Wei Jun landed on the shore, the bow and crossbow were useless, and the sounds of "boom" and "crash" made people's teeth sour.

The hastily arranged antlers in front of the trench only acted as a little hindrance, and then were pushed away by Wei Jun.

"kill!"

With red eyes, Wei Jun raised his knife and began to charge.

The spears and halberds of the Han army stabbed together, and the Wei army, who had finally passed the trench, was directly stabbed into the trench, becoming a stepping stone for the latecomers.

The Wei army who followed behind began to throw bows and arrows and fell into the formation of the Han army, causing the Han army to also suffer casualties.

"Your Majesty, Cao Bandit's cavalry have crossed the water from the two wings!"

Holding up his binoculars, Jiang Wei suddenly asked, "Do you want the last general to lead the Tiger Army to stop it?"

Feng Yong shook his head, "It's not yet time for the Tiger Army to move."

The infantry charged and fought head-on, while the cavalry on both wings waited for an opportunity to find a hole, or tried to tear the opening from the two wings, and finally swarmed up. This is the most common usage of cavalry now.

On the battlefield, the strategic reserve team in your hands is your trump card for victory, and it is also your trump card for survival.

This trump card cannot be easily revealed until the last moment.
