Chapter 11 Huge Bait

"What?" Han Hao was shocked when he heard the words. Looking at the panicked soldiers in front of him, Han Hao said angrily, "When did the Sichuan army cross the river? Why didn't anyone come to report it?

"They came from the upstream. Our brothers all fell asleep and didn't notice!" The man stammered. Han Hao was about to get up, but he heard the shouting in his ear louder and louder, and it came to his ear in an instant.

"Come on, get my weapon armor!" Han Hao said urgently, while preparing to fight with the help of several soldiers. At this moment, the big tent was suddenly punctured in. Han Hao quickly picked up the long gun in his hand to meet the enemy, but he saw that the first person was not of medium size, and a silver gun was like lightning across the sky, and then fell into his chest.

Accompanied by "Poo!" With a sound, Zhang Ren pulled out his silver gun. Looking at Han Hao's body in front of him falling weakly like a straw, Zhang Ren snorted coldly and continued to go out to command the battle. In this service, Lu Xun and Zhang Ren cooperated tacitly. The former made a plan to exercise the plan of tired soldiers. At the same time, he led the army to the downstream to intercept the defeated Cao army, and used it to open the gate of Xianyang to attack the capital of Qin in one fell swoop. Under the command of Zhang Ren, 20,000 Sichuan troops completely broke through Han Hao's Weishui Village, and at the same time ordered Han Hao's head to recruit Fufeng, Hanxing and Chencang cities. In this way, in the area west of the Jinghe River and north of the Weihe River, except for the 10,000 defenders who failed to capture the martial arts, the rest were owned by the Han army.

The news soon spread to Xia Houyuan, who was in the street pavilion. At first hearing the news, Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu were in a cold sweat. Especially the latter, I didn't expect that Han Hao's stay in Weishui would make such a big stubble.

"General Xiahou, Longxi is no longer a top priority at present. The only plan now is to go back to the army to guard the east of the Jing River first, and it is the best strategy to protect the customs!" After Cheng Yu calmed down, he immediately suggested to Xia Houyuan. Xia Houyuan naturally knew that what Cheng Yu said was true, but it was too much responsibility to lose Longxi and Weibei. Although this is caused by Cao Yan's misjudgment, as a guard in Guanzhong, he lost Longxi and lost himself. Now it is really hard to blame for losing Weibei.

"Is that all?" Xia Houyuan said with hatred. Cheng Yu pondered a little, and finally said with cold eyes, "Of course, we can't just leave it like this. Although most of the land in Weibei is occupied by the Sichuan army, the number of Sichuan troops is limited. Once the general returns to the army, he can only stick to the city. In this case, our army still has a lot to do.

"Mr. Zhongde, our army's food and fodder are only enough to support for more than a month, and it can't provide enough food and fodder for the army to attack the city!" Lv Kuang frowned when he heard the words.

"Of course, I don't want to attack the city. I just want to strengthen the wall and clear the field, leaving Zhao Botao an empty Weibei!" Cheng Yu said with hatred. The Lv Kuang brothers were still ignorant. When Xia Houyuan heard Cheng Yu's words, he couldn't help shivering.

As Cheng Yu said, although the Sichuan army has crossed Weibei, it can mainly control the cities in Xianyang. Under such circumstances, I can forcibly move Wei Guang and the people of Anding counties to the east of the Jing River as much as possible, leaving Zhao Feng a desolate Longxi. This move is really amazing. Even if Zhao Feng occupied here, he would not have enough people to support him for a while. In this way, he would not have a few years of rest and recuperate. He would not want to lead troops eastward. It's just that this trick is also very poisonous. In addition to the displacement of the people, there are naturally countless casualties.

At present, Longxi is blocked by the street pavilion, which is out of reach. However, Wei Guang, Anding and part of Tianshui have not been controlled by Zhao Feng. The people of these three counties were no less than 500,000. Under the order of Xia Houyuan, 50,000 Cao troops immediately retreated, and then cooperated with some of the county soldiers of the three counties that had not yet fallen, to forcibly migrate all the people, including some local rich people, to Feng Yi, Fufeng, Xinping and the northern counties. Although Lu Xun of Xianyang and Zhang Ren of Chen Cang were intentional to stop them, they were also powerless because of the lack of troops. They had to stick to the city while sending someone to inform Zhao Feng to be responsible. It just took three or four days to come and go. After converging with Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng was preparing to go east, but he was also surprised to hear the news.

"Xia Houyuan is really cruel!" Zhao Feng said with hatred. In history, Cao Qian once played this in Jingbei and moved hundreds of thousands of people to Yuzhou and Yanzhou. As a result, Liu Bei failed to take advantage of the remnants of the Battle of Chibi to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop. Now that Xia Houyuan has played this, he can only try his best to snatch time with him to prevent him from migrating the people. It's just that hundreds of thousands of people in the customs have suffered. In the melee, the swords were eyesless, and these people were naturally killed and injured countless times. Presumably after this toss, the rich Guanzhong will also become the people's livelihood.

"The generals are ordered to march east immediately to stop Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu!" Zhao Feng still gave an order immediately. Now he can only make up for it. It's good to save a little more losses. It's just that Zhao Feng must not be able to continue to march into Guanzhong.

At this time, Guanzhong is already a chicken feather. In comparison, the situation in the Central Plains is relatively clear. After Guan Yu's 40,000 horses took Xiangcheng, they rushed to Xuchang without stopping.

"Father, this Xiangcheng is the gateway to Xuchang. Why is Cao's defense so loose? I'm afraid that Xuchang is cheating this time!" It was General Guan Ping who asked the question. Yesterday, they broke through Xiangcheng, but the defenders were only more than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were no generals. It was a joke.

"The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Wei deliberately gave up Xiangcheng to us!" Guan Yu stroked Xu with a smile. Only they, the high-level insiders, know the decision of this battle. Guan Ping still knew nothing before. But now, it is obvious that there is no need to hide it.

"What does my father mean is that Cao Shen deliberately lured us to Xuchang?" Guan Ping is not a fool. As soon as he heard his father's words, he immediately understood what he meant. The question is, in this case, do you still go to Xuchang to die?

"That's right, so I decided to make a plan. I deliberately used my partial division as bait to go to Xuchang to attract Cao's ambush, and then Wen Yuan came to attack again and annihilated Cao's army in one fell swoop! Ping'er, are you afraid?" Guan Yu said in a low voice. In front of him are the heroic words of a heroic general, but the last sentence is the ferving hope of a loving father for his son.

"The father is not afraid, and the child is not afraid!" Guan Ping is not a timid person. He is also very proud to hear his father's question. After a pause, Guan Ping also sighed, "In this way, the decisive battle between General Zhao and Xia Houyuan and the land of Yongliang can only be regarded as a prelude to this battle?"

"It may not be a prelude, but the real war is just beginning!" Guan Yu said in a low voice. At this moment, the scouts came to report, and a large group of Cao's troops were found in front of them, with nearly 100,000 people, of which no more than 10,000 were cavalry.

"I know, pass the order and form a battle to meet the enemy!" Guan Yu ordered as if nothing had happened. Then 60,000 people began to operate. The shield soldiers were on the outermost floor, and then from the inside to the inside were spearmen, crossbowmen, and ordinary soldiers. The whole army quickly gathered into a huge gossip array. Although there is a passage in the middle to walk, the enemy will never let you run easily as soon as it comes in.

Guan Yu himself did not stay in the center of the battle to command with all his strength, but led his 500 schoolknives to patrol around, ready to check the omissions and fill the gaps at any time. A high platform was built on a chariot in the center, and several sergeants surrounded Xu Shu, ready to check the military situation at any time after the start of the war to adapt to the situation.

"I'm coming!" To the east of the Bagua array, Dong Xi, the general in charge of this area, suddenly whispered. Needless to say, more and more people have felt the trembling of the earth, and Cao's army has gradually pressed up.

At the same time, Guan Yu stood in front of the battle one by one. The early morning sun shines on his green parrot robe and golden armor. With the green dragon moon knife and **'s red rabbit horse, this second master Guan is really like a god, domineering.

Cao Hen also gradually saw the formation of the Jingzhou Army on the opposite side. He didn't expect that the Jingzhou Army would take out such a defensive formation to deal with himself, instead of arranging a crossbowman to compete with himself. Cao Hen was also a little surprised. If Guan Yu sniped at himself in the first row with a crossbowman as usual, he would have enough confidence to immediately destroy the enemy's formation with a tiger and leopard rider. Now that he puts it in a circle like this, he feels like he is a bit of a mouse dragging bastard and has no way to start. However, Cao Hen understood after thinking about it again. Guan Yu wanted to delay himself. It seems that as long as he fell into a deadly war with him, Zhang Liao in the south would take advantage of it. Do you want to invite Cao Ren to surround and annihibit Guan Yu now? Cao Wei was also a little hesitant. This 40,000 troops is really a huge bait, but it also contains a huge hook. If you can't swallow Guan Yu in one bite, you will be passive.

"King Wei, let's solve Guan Yu first!" Seeing Cao's hesitation, Jia Xu said softly. Cao Shen nodded heavily, and then waved to the army to advance. The 10,000 tigers and leopards led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were killed first. Li Dian and Le Jin's soldiers followed up and rushed into the corridors in the gossip array like ants to fight to the death with the Jingzhou army.

"King of Wei, why don't you put all the tigers and leopards into the battle?" Cao Hong looked at the remaining five thousand tigers and leopards behind him and asked in surprise. You need to beware of Zhang Liao. Inform the soldiers guarding the beacon. Once they find Zhang Liao's whereabouts, they will immediately light the fire and inform Zixiao to come and meet!" Cao said in a low voice. Just as they spoke, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun had led the army into the Bagua array and launched a short battle with the Jingzhou Army. The tiger and leopard rode a strong impact and smashed down the hard iron shield shell of the gossip array. What follows is a deadly battle mixed with all kinds of blades.

In order to delay Cao Qian and let Zhang Liao arrive in time, Guan Yu also paid enough money this time. Including the Shanyue army when he was in Yuzhou, and the Wudang flying army in Jingnan, the two most elite infantry were almost half transferred by him. Looking at the two armies gradually beginning to hang together, Cao Qian and Xu Shu, who was under the command of Gao's platform, frowned and was always ready to deal with all emergencies.

"Keep the formation and kill me!" Chen Wu roared. Behind him, there were soldiers waiting at any time, ready to take the shields and long guns in the hands of the dead robes, and then continue to lay the array. Once the gossip array was quickly crushed by the cavalry of the Cao army, only one of the pedsmen, who were not dominant in the field, would die. Chen Wu, who knew this well, led the people to block a wall that had just been broken, while surrounding the dozens of tigers and leopards who broke into the battle.

"Wh!" A stone hit the ground, and the target was the defenseless Chen Wu's heart.
