Chapter 89 Virtual and Real Practice Lao Cao Xia

"Governor Zhang, Chen Cangcheng has been taken, and more than 600 people of 2,000 defenders have been annihilated. Except for more than 100 people who fled into Chencang Road, all of them have been captured. More than 200 of them were seriously injured, and I'm afraid it is difficult to save. Our army was a raid, and only more than 500 people were killed and injured!"

Under the city of Chencang, Lei Tong reported to Zhang Ren. Since 40,000 people entered Guanzhong, Zhang Ren and Lei Tong led the only 10,000 cavalry to Chencang Ancient Road at full speed. Due to the scarcity of troops in Guanzhong, Zhong Yao did not expect that Zhang Ren's target was actually the ancient city of Chencang. Second, his own strength was indeed rare, so he failed to intercept them too effectively. Guanzhong is full of plains. Zhang Ren made a long-distance raid to Chencang City. He suddenly caught Zhong Yao off guard and quickly transferred troops to recapture Chen Cang.

After Zhang Ren occupied Chen Cang, not only Sima Yi in Hanzhong was blocked, but also Du Xi, who confronted Ma Chao on the Sanguan, was about to face the danger of breaking the grain road. Zhong Yao knew that the situation was serious, so he quickly transferred more than 10,000 people from Xianyang and martial arts to retake Chen Cang.

But how is Chen Cang so easy to grab? Of course, it is difficult to attack from the ancient road of Chencang; even if you attack from the customs, it is not so easy. When Lei Tong was stationed in Chencang, in order to resist Xiahou Yuan in the customs, the city was strengthened. Now under the attack of Sima Yi and Zhong Yao, it is still An Ruotai Mountain.

What made Zhong Yao and Sima Yi vomit blood was that the previous batch of food and fodder shipped to Sanguan were lucky to Chencang City, which was all called Zhang Renxiao. Therefore, Zhang Ren is now trapped in Chen Cang. This little boy is moist. It's enough to shoot back two people every day. Of course, Zhong Yao was lucky. If Hao Zhao hadn't taken most of the people to support Tongguan and Pujinguan, Zhang Ren's 40,000 troops would have entered the customs. Even if he did not attack Chen Cang, Zhang Ren would have attacked Chang'an.

"Zhang Ren?" Sima Yi looked at the short and tough yellow man on Chen Cangcheng's head, and he was also full of hatred. Three days after Zhang Ren occupied Chen Cang Road, Sima Yi arrived. The problem is that in the face of Chen Cangjiancheng, he can't come up with any good ideas for a while. At this moment, Guo Huai sent someone to send the news, saying that the Xiegu Pass was also occupied by the enemy general Zhu Ran. He was trapped in the Xiegu and was in a dilemma. In this way, all of Sima Yi's horses were stuck in the barrier and could not enter.

"Attack with me!" Sima Yi was fierce. If he couldn't take it back to Guanzhong, he could only be trapped in this corner of Hanzhong. How did Zhao Feng deal with him? Under the order of the general, 40,000 Han Chinese troops attacked the ancient city of Chencang. But how strong is Chen Cang? Historically, Hao Zhao could stop Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops with only 3,000 defenders. Now that Zhang Ren has more than 10,000 defenders, it is not easier to deal with Sima Yi's 40,000 people. Sima Yi attacked a lot, but it had little effect.

On the fifth day, Sima Yi came up with a vicious idea. He knew that Liu Bei's army had always loved the people, so he ordered people to go to nearby villages and towns to rob more than a thousand people and drive them to attack the city. It depends on how Zhang Ren responds and whether he will kill the people.

As a result, Zhang Ren was also amazing: he threw a bundle of dry firewood with fire oil under the city, and then Shi Shiran threw a torch in Sima Yi's unwilling eyes. In front of the blazing fire, the people who were driven to come suddenly dispersed. Sima Yi was violent, but there was nothing he could do. Zhang Ren is determined to guard Chen Cang, but he doesn't compete with your Sima Yi.

The same scene also happened at Xie Guguan. In the face of Guo Huai's repeated insults, Zhu Ran either pretended to be deaf and mute, or scolded Guo Huai with great interest. However, in the face of Guo Huai's challenge, Zhu Ran still chose not to shrink and waited for Liu Bei's reinforcements at ease. Guo Huai was furious, but there were only more than 10,000 people under his command. Facing the Xiegu Pass, which was stationed by 5,000 people, he was really powerless. Several attacks ended hastily.

Not to mention that Sima Yi and Guo Huai were helpless at this time, under the Pujin Pass, Cao Qian gathered people and horses in the morning of the third day to attack the pass, but they were surprised to find that Zhao Feng actually took the initiative to fight. More than 2,000 people said more or less. They set up a position under the Pujin Pass, as if they were going to fight to the death with themselves.

"What is this?" Cao Yan and others immediately looked at each other in front of each other. Did the other party really have any big tricks, so that they were not afraid and ready to fight to the death with themselves? Thinking of this, Cao Wei felt a little pain in his head. This Zhao Botao really makes you never understand what he will do in the next moment.

"Lord, this person doesn't look like a bluff!" Seeing this, Cheng Yu whispered, and Cao Yan nodded heavily, and then ordered the three armies to cross the river, ready to set up a battle.

The open land in front of Pujin Pass is not big, but not small. If it is a normal battle, it can accommodate more than 10,000 people. Now Zhao Feng leads 2,000 troops under the city, and Cao's army can pass 10,000 people. Even if Danyang's elite soldiers are the elites in the world, it is impossible to fight one against five. Of course, in order to beware that the other party is a super Saiyan, Cao Yan did not dare to be careless, so he wanted to send his own ace infantry tiger guard to solve more than 2,000 people. But at this moment, Cao Hong took the initiative to ask.

"Master, Zhao Botao, such a little person dares to call here, which is clearly bullying us. Hong Bcai is willing to lead a man to cross the river and capture this life as a tribute to the lord!"

"Huh?" Cao Yan was a little caught off guard. He turned his head and looked at Jia Xu with inquiring eyes. The latter felt the meaning in Cao Yan's eyes, but shook his head gently, and then motioned to Xu Chu beside him. At this time, Cao Xiu also took the initiative to ask for help, and Cao Xiu was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Lord, don't be willing to help Uncle Hong defeat Zhao Botao. If you don't win, you are willing to be a military order!" Cao Xiu held his fist. Knowing that the two children of the clan had suffered great losses under Zhao Feng, Cao Yan also knew that they were extremely eager to take revenge. In the face of such boxing, it was not easy for Cao to refuse for a while. Looking at the opposite side of the river bank, it really didn't seem to be abnormal. Cao thought about it again and again, and ordered Cao Hong and Cao Xiu to lead 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers to cross the river to fight.

"You two need to be careful. Don't underestimate the enemy!" Cao Qian always felt that something was wrong. Zhao Feng's expression on the opposite side was too relaxed. Even across the Yellow River, Cao Qian could see the relaxed and comfortable smile on his face. It seems that I'm not at war, but basking in the sun, or I don't pay attention to my 100,000 troops at all?

"Uncle, we have a lot of people, but we can't rush up. We need to approach slowly step by step, so that Zhao Botao can't escape." Before crossing the river, Cao Xiu advised Cao Hong. Although he couldn't wait to kill the people on the other side of the river, Cao Xiu also knew that Zhao Feng was good at it. He was afraid that he would have any tricks to plot against him, so he made such a suggestion.

"It should be so!" Cao Hong was not hopelessly stupid. According to Cao Xiu's proposal, the army slowly crossed the river along the pontoon bridge, then set up the position, and then prepared to fight. From beginning to end, Zhao Feng did not stop the whole process and watched 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers cross the river.

"General, they are coming!" Looking at Cao Jun, who had gathered the army, Zhang Ni's face had changed a little. There are too many enemies on the opposite side. At most, there is a bag of cigarettes, and the other party can form a formation and kill them.

"I know, pass the order, beat the drum, light the fire!" Zhao Feng looked at Cao Hong, who was only a few dozen steps away from him, waved his hand and ordered, and then more than a dozen cowhide drums on the city. Cao Qian on the opposite side listened to the drum, and his heart suddenly tightened. He stared at the other side with round eyes to see what other tricks Zhao Feng had. Was there still an ambush like last time? Even if there is an ambush, you have to see how many people there are. Moreover, he sent elite Qingzhou soldiers this time. Even if he was in the middle of the day, he would not be afraid of him and retreated calmly.

"Split up, light the fire!" At Zhao Feng's order, two thousand Danyang elite soldiers suddenly withdrew and made way to both sides. Then the empty gate opened, but a scalper rushed out of it!

"What is this?" Cao Hong and Cao Xiu looked at each other, but they saw hundreds of scalpers, five or six of which were tied to their necks together by wooden sticks, and then a bunch of thatch was tied to their tails. After the guards in the gate opened the door, they lit the thatch, and then the cattle were burned and screamed. They should have fled everywhere, because their heads were fixed together. In the east, with the city gate opening, it suddenly gushed out of the city and ran eastward. Zhao Feng and his subordinates have dispersed. As a result, these hundreds of scalpers rushed directly to Cao Hong and Cao Xiu and his Qingzhou soldiers.

"Fire Bull Array?" Cao Jian and Jia Xu from Hedong couldn't help blurting out. That's right, Zhao Feng is thinking about the fire bull array. Yesterday, when I was thinking about the problem, I inadvertently saw dozens of heavy cars on the ground that were used to cheat the city. Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the fire bull array. When he robbed and killed the heavy fleet, he seized more than a hundred major vehicles, and each big car had two or three scalpers pulling carts. Therefore, now he and Wang Ping in Tongguan also have hundreds of scalpers. Originally, it was intended to reward the soldiers, but now it seems that it can also be used as a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy. At present, Zhao Feng sent Zhang Yi to lead people to Tongguan Wang Ping overnight to mobilise cattle, and then Zhang Yi also confiscated the cattle in several nearby villages, a total of nearly 500 cattle, so that there was enough capital to exercise the fire bull array.

There are only more than 10,000 Cao's army crossing the river. If the enemy is ready to use the fire bull array, Cao Hong should send a crossbow to shoot the foot to stop the enemy. But now, Cao Hong was also caught off guard for a while. The two sides are only dozens of steps apart, and hundreds of mad cows that have been burned have rushed up.

"Quick, withdraw!" Cao Hong suddenly became anxious and repeatedly ordered to get out of the way. But it was not very spacious here. He was so anxious that the whole army's formation suddenly became chaotic. Not long after the panic, hundreds of crazy bulls plunged into Cao's army. Suddenly, there were screams, scolding, and all kinds of messy voices. With the messy situation in the field, the scene was spectacular! The scalper is different from the horse, because it has horns on its head, so it is really lethal when rushing. In addition, Zhao Feng fixed their heads in one direction with wooden sticks, which is more powerful. Hundreds of scalpers have messed up the military array of 10,000 people. Many soldiers and scalpers were squeezed into a group and finally fell into the rough Yellow River. This situation was really tragic.

"Kill me!" Just when the situation in the field was chaotic, Zhao Feng ordered. Two thousand elite soldiers aimed at those at a loss indiscriminate killing of Qingzhou soldiers, and the situation of Cao Hong and others was even worse. Cao Jian, who was on the other side of the river, saw that he could not do anything, so he quickly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and let Cao Hong and others retreat along the floating bridge as soon as possible.

"Chase!" Zhao Feng seemed to be good. Seeing that Cao Hong still wanted to escape, he ordered to follow the pontoon to pursue. Cao Jian was surprised, but he saw hundreds of enemy troops untied the cowhide water bags around him, threw them on the pontoon bridge far away, and fell around these fleeing Qingzhou soldiers, and were trampled by them. Few of them, who were in a hurry to escape, noticed what the ** was spilled in the skin.

A torch was thrown from Zhao Feng's hand, and the whole floating bridge suddenly burned. Cao Qian looked at the Qingzhou soldiers who fled from the sea of fire, and his hand holding the reins was already full of blue veins.
