Chapter 285 Interception
The ride, like a yellow lightning, went down the mountain like a wind and lightning.
At this time, it was said that Fang Dongsheng, and the sky was not bright. The enemy in a hurry suddenly heard the sound of killing. When Fang was shocked, he saw countless enemies suddenly appear like ghosts, killing down from Dingjun Mountain.
Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.
He guarded Hanzhong and asked himself that he was quite familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong, especially near Yangping Pass.
However, even so, Zhao Yun did not expect that the enemy did not know that there were more than 10,000 elite soldiers hidden in Dingjun Mountain, and the scouts he sent were completely unknown.
At this moment, his thousands of steps were marching in the wilderness like a long snake. Countless enemy soldiers rushed down and came to his eyes in an instant. He had no time to meet the enemy.
In a blink of an eye, the enemy was killed, and the Hanzhong army was cut into several sections.
In the field combat, the most taboo thing is the scattered formation. As soon as it is broken, the command system of the whole army is suddenly destroyed.
Zhao Yun, who was in front of the team, was trapped by more than 2,000 Shu troops, lost contact with the following troops, and each department fell into a war.
The Hanzhong army, which lost its command and fell into an ambush, was quickly defeated. They, who fought separately, were killed and howled by the fierce Yizhou soldiers, and soon began to collapse in an all-round way.
Zhao Yun, who was besieged, was anxious. There were only less than 300 troops around him. With these 300 elite soldiers, he rushed left and right to try to break through the enemy's encirclement, and the broken troops would be re-connected.
However, the enemy was obviously prepared. These equally elite Yizhou soldiers, under the command of Huang Zhong, united and cooperated, fought bravely, and blocked Zhao Yun's breakthrough again and again.
From the early morning to the near noon, most of the Hanzhong soldiers either fled or were slaughtered. More and more Yizhou soldiers were surrounded. Zhao Yun, who was fighting, swept away at a glance. As far as he could see, they were all black enemies.
Huang Zhong, who won a surprise victory, saw that there was still an enemy general in the encirclement, and he could not take it down for the time being. Huang Zhong guessed that the enemy general must be Zhao Yun.
Cutting off Zhao Yun's head was naturally a great achievement, but Huang Zhong temporarily suppressed this **.
He has more important things to do than killing Zhao Yun.
Although Zhao Yun was defeated, there were still more than 5,000 defenders in Yangping Pass. If these enemy troops heard that the master of the Ding army had lost, they still closed their guard and waited for a large number of reinforcements from Guanzhong to the south to help Hanzhong, then they still could not achieve their purpose in this surprise attack.
Under the overall situation, Huang Zhong left more than 4,000 people to continue to besiege Zhao Yun, and he led more than 6,000 elites and followed the fleeing enemy soldiers all the way to the enemy's Xizhai.
In such a chaotic situation, the defenders of Xizhai heard that they had made a plan, but did not know the life and death of the main general Zhao Yun. The will to fight quickly collapsed. The remaining more than a thousand soldiers and horses, together with the thousands of defeated soldiers, left the camp and fled to the direction of Yangping Pass.
Huang Zhong's army broke through the fortress and chased after him.
When the defeated enemy fled to the edge of the water, they had to slow down because of crossing the river, so they were killed by the Yizhou soldiers who followed them. On the way to cross the river, thousands of remnants were killed by the Yizhou soldiers on the bank as live saddles, and the whole water was stained with blood.
The water is a section of the Han water tour. The water is not deep. After a big kill, Huang Zhong waded across the river and went straight to Yangping Pass along the road.
The garrison on the gate did not know the battle situation of the army mountain, but when he saw his own soldiers running back, he opened the door and planned to let the defeated army enter the customs.
When more than a thousand defeated soldiers, you scrambled to squeeze in front of the gate of the city, the following Yizhou soldiers suddenly killed.
Only then did the defenders realize the seriousness of the situation and was eager to close the gate.
It's just too late.
The losers who were congested at the gate and the suspension bridge gate, when they saw the pursuers coming again, they were desperate to squeeze into the gate. In this way, you pushed me, but blocked the gate more and more tightly, and it could not be closed at all.
After a while, the Yizhou soldiers killed, from the suspension bridge to the bottom of the gate, and then drove the remaining enemies, all the way through the gate and into the Yangping Pass.
Since Guancheng has been broken, how can the panic army of 5,000 troops defeat Huang Zhong's group of tigers and wolves?
Huang Zhong killed Guancheng first, from the east of the city to the west of the city. The big knife passed, and the blood flowed like a river.
The Wanyu Yizhou army stationed in Kansai, but when they saw the chaos of Yangping Pass, they knew that the main general Huang Zhong had done it, so they left the camp and launched an attack from the west of Guancheng.
Under the attack inside and outside, 5,000 defenders either died or surrendered. When dusk fell, Huang Zhong finally planted his flag on the tower of Yangping Pass.
The sun shines in the west. On the desolate dirt road, Zhao Yun, who bathed in blood all over his body, hurried east alone.
He is in pain.
Everything that happened today, until this time, is like a dream, which makes him feel unreal in a trance.
In any case, he couldn't figure out why he fell into the enemy's conspiracy and how to throw away the Yangping Pass, which is known as the natural danger.
Zhao Yun firmly believed that Huang Zhong's old man could barely fight with him in terms of bravery, but when it came to wisdom, he was determined not to believe that the old boy would come up with such a clever strategy.
Zhao Yunyin felt that behind Huang Zhong, there must be a master who would give him advice, but he would never have thought that the so-called master he guessed would be Liu Feng thousands of miles away.
When it was dark, Zhao Yun returned to Nan Zheng non-stop.
The soldiers and civilians in a city were shocked and stunned after hearing the news of the defeat of the soldiers in Yangping Pass.
The loss of Yangping Pass means that the Yizhou Army has not only opened up the road to Hanzhong, but also cut off the most convenient road for the Guanzhong Army to enter Hanzhong. Even if Guanzhong sends reinforcements to the south, it can only take the rugged and difficult valley roads such as the Xie Valley. That is to say, the Yangping Pass is lost, and Hanzhong can no longer be defended in theory. .
Moreover, there are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left in Nanzheng City. With this little soldiers and horses alone, it is a problem to defend Nanzheng alone, not to mention the big Hanzhong.
In this case, Nanzheng's Wenwu all advocated abandoning Hanzhong and withdrawing from Xiegu to Guanzhong, but their motions were categorically rejected by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is very clear that at present, Liu Bei's main force is in Bingzhou, and there are only a few soldiers left in Yongliang's two prefectures. Once he abandons Hanzhong, Huangzhong's Shu army will leave the Qinling Mountains in the north, and there will be no soldiers on the front line of Guanlong.
The consequences of this will be a disaster.
Under the balance, Zhao Yun decided to defend Nanzheng with 3,000 soldiers.
As long as the governance of Hanzhong is guarded, Huang Zhong's Shu army cannot attack Guanlong with all its strength. In this way, as long as it can be defended for ten days and a half months, it can buy enough time for Liu Bei's main force to return to Hanzhong.
Zhao Yun believes that as long as Liu Bei's army can enter Hanzhong in time, he will be able to repel Huang Zhong and retake Yangping Pass.
As a general in Hanzhong, Zhao Yun has military power and prestige. He insists on not abandoning Hanzhong, and the civil and military officials naturally have no choice.
Huang Zhong defeated Zhao Yun in the battle of Dingjun Mountain. After successfully capturing Yangping Pass, after two days, he led 20,000 troops eastward along Minshui Avenue and entered the Hanzhong Plain.
At this time, there were only hundreds of county soldiers left in Minyang, Huangsha and Baozhong counties. In the face of tens of thousands of Shu soldiers who came from the great victory, the counties surrendered under the horror of the county.
Huang Zhongbing captured several counties in the central and western part of the Han Dynasty without blood. A few days later, the army arrived in Nanzheng and surrounded the lonely city.
########## Thousands of miles away, the wild king front line.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses of Liu Feng and Liu Bei have been fighting for nearly a month on the front line more than ten miles west of the Wild King City.
First of all, Liu Feng ordered all the troops to attack in anger because of the death of Shamoke, and launched a fierce attack on the battalions of Liu Bei's army. Tushan, arrow tower, night attack, fire attack, all kinds of battles were used to the extreme.
On the side of Liu Bei, Ma Chao's victory inspired his military morale. With a calm and sophisticated attitude, he calmly responded to Liu Fengjun's continuous fierce attack for ten days, and seized the opportunity to take a decisive counterattack.
In more than ten days of battle, the two sides have gains and losses, and thousands of soldiers have been damaged. The fronts and bases of the two sides have changed hands, but in the end, they still can't change the whole battle situation.
After ten days of fierce attack, Liu Feng's offensive gradually entered the end of the crossbow. With a decline in morale, Liu Feng had to order to stop the attack and change to a small-scale disturbance.
As for Wei Yan's troops on the south bank, after losing the previous battle of crossing the river and damaging Shamoke and thousands of barbarian troops, although they made several attempts to cross the river, Wei Yan's several efforts ended in failure due to the powerful power and impact of the Ma Chao Xiliang cavalry.
The two sides have entered a stalemate on the front line in Hanoi. No matter which side, they can't break the opponent in a short time.
Liu Beijun, the big account of the Chinese army.
"Brother, the 10,000 new troops trained by Kong Ming's military division have arrived." Zhang Fei rushed in from outside the account and shouted loudly.
Hearing Liu Bei's spirit, he smiled at Fa Zheng next to him and said, "Xiao Zhi, our army has added 10,000 new troops. In my opinion, it's time for us to launch a counterattack."
Liu Feng's attack was repeatedly resolved. After more than ten days of silence, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng had brewed a counterattack to end the war in Hanoi and completely drove Liu Feng back to the south of the Yellow River.
The reason why Liu Bei has not taken action is that he is waiting for this 10,000 new force.
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Liu Feng has been frustrated in many battles. Now it is the end of the crossbow. Our army's morale is strong, and 10,000 new soldiers and horses have been added. In my opinion, it is indeed time to fight back."
Hearing this, Zhang Fei's blood spurted and shouted, "Brother, leave this 10,000 soldiers and horses to me. This time I'm going to kill Liu Feng's middle army, kill the dog thief with my own hands, and avenge my second brother."
Speaking of Guan Yu's hatred, Liu Bei's face immediately surged angrily.
"Ye, I'll die..."
When Liu Bei was about to give a generous order, suddenly a pro-military army outside hurried in and submitted a silk letter: "Report to the lord, Hanzhong urgently reported that the Yangping Pass has been lost, and Nanzheng was besieged. Kong Ming's military division asked the lord's army to return."
