Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2062 Both sides care about, negligence

Although Liao Hua and Zhuge only brought some soldiers and horses to the southwest of Fancheng, to a certain extent, it was the first time for Liao Hua and Zhuge, um...

For the first time, the two of them are naturally very cautious. Of course, it is impossible to find a random place to mess around. In addition, Zhuge is quite familiar with the Jingzhou area, so naturally they found a suitable place, full of birds and flowers. , poetic... uh, easy to defend but difficult to attack, quite a dangerous place.

Xu Huang's main force is still Xu Jin in Wancheng, while Liao Hua and Zhuge's main goal is to build a military base in the southwest of Fancheng.

The military base originally refers to the fortifications around the military camp. It is said in "Wei Liaozi Zhanwei", "A hard-working teacher will not have to put himself first."Don’t open the cover in the summer, don’t wear heavy clothes in the cold, the danger must be stepped down, the military well is completed and then drunk, the military food is cooked and then eaten, the military fort is completed and then abandoned, and the labor and loss will be the same. 』

It's just that the purpose of Liao Hua and Zhuge this time is mainly to put pressure on Cao Jun in Fancheng. In addition, if Fancheng insists on not leaving the city, then this is the base for the next attack on Xiangyang.Therefore, the location the two chose to build this military base is naturally relatively close to Fancheng. Of course, this also means that they are more likely to be threatened by Cao Jun in Fancheng...

"What if Cao Jun refuses to leave the city?So what? ’ Liao Hua asked somewhat worriedly while commanding the soldiers to build fortifications.

Zhuge smiled and said, "I thought Yuan Jian would be worried about how to defend against Cao Jun's attack..."

Liao Hua also laughed aloud, pointed to the soldiers on one side, met Zhuge's eyes, and then said: "Although the current stronghold is not complete, the formation is already established. If the bandits attack, they can be destroyed outside the city." , Raiding Jingxiang is naturally much easier. 』

Zhuge nodded.

After a while, Liao Hua turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang: "Accordingly, our leaders should be bloody on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, but Kong Ming...why did Kong Ming come here in person?" 』

Although it was said that Zhuge Liang proposed the strategy of seducing Cao Jun by the partial army before, it does not mean that Zhuge Liang must go to the front line in person. It is also possible to stay in Wancheng or Nanxiang. It was completely destroyed by the Yellow Turban, and it is not in shape, but there are still city walls, which are much better than the bare ones here...

Zhuge Liang didn't know whether he was really brave or fearless, so he immediately said: "If everything is shrunk behind the ridge, how can we be held accountable?" 』

As soon as the words fell, suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, a scout rushed to report: "The north gate of Fancheng is wide open, and Cao Jun has left the city!" 』

"good! ’ Liao Huacai clapped his hands together and said hello, then he reacted with a movement of his eyes, ‘Open the north gate?What's the meaning?Cao Jun went north? 』

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, then smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that Cao Hong and Cao Zilian were rough but subtle, and today's actions are so true..."

Liao Hua turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, "Kong Ming meant..."

This is the case most of the time when fighting each other in the military.One person came up with a pose, and then the other person said that the leg was not raised high enough, and it needs to be higher...

It's like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms sent women's clothes to Sima Yi, didn't he make his attitude clear?As a result, Sima Yi really wore it, uh, he really took it, and then Zhuge Liang didn't have any temper at all.

Liao Hua and Zhuge led the army to go around to the southwest of Fancheng to build a military base. Could it be that Cao Hong didn't know what it meant?It was obviously impossible, and Cao Hong also knew that the military fortress must have been prepared, and he was waiting for him to go head-to-head, so Cao Hong simply did the opposite and led the troops out of Fancheng directly to Zhuyang.

Zhuyang is in the south of Wuxiang and in the north of Fancheng.

Cao Hong's move made it clear that he knew that Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang were here to seduce him, so Cao Hong simply cut off the back road of Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang, and after cutting off Zhuge Yang, Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang became nothing. Zhimu, under the joint attack with the Xiangyang defenders at that time, even if the military fort built by Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang is perfect, it will not last long.

In fact, Cao Hong somewhat looked down on Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang. He believed that the most important thing was Xu Huang. After all, at this stage, neither Zhuge Liang nor Liao Hua had achieved any decent results. With a halo effect, it is obvious that Zhuge has just appeared on the stage and has not done anything, but a group of people suddenly realized that it is "Mr. Wolong", and "Jing Tianwei Di" is full of praise...

Therefore, Cao Hong believes that his strategy this time has a good chance of winning.

The best result is of course to capture Zhuyang, let Xu Huang retreat when he knows the difficulty, and then turn around and attack Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang with Xiahou Dun to completely solve the military operation of Hussar General Fei Qian this time. Solved the crisis in Jingzhou for Cao Cao.The second-class result is to defeat the enemy of Zhuyang and frighten Xu Huang, and then the military base of Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang will naturally be unsustainable, and the current front line can be maintained.

In Cao Hong's heart, when he learned that it was Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang who attacked, he was somewhat angry.Although Cao Hong knew in his heart that his soldiers were not as good as the elite hussars, Cao Hong himself was a veteran general for many years. The unknown guy came, which made Cao Hong feel a little annoyed.

Defending the city cannot be defended to death, just like a strong city like Xiangyang, if you defend the city for a long time, there will always be some problems, just like a fight between the two sides, if one side is always pressed in the corner and beaten violently, even if It doesn't hurt much, but it is extremely insulting. After a long time, the morale will inevitably be slackened.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army and an important general beside Cao Cao, Cao Hong certainly knows Cao Cao's current situation, and he will naturally think more about it. He knows that the quality and equipment of his soldiers may not be as good as Fei Qian, so if he really After all, when Xu Huang led the army to the south and approached Fancheng, if he went out to fight Xu Huang, he might not be able to get any good results.

So when you see an opportunity to take advantage of, how can you sit idly by?
When Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang came, Cao Hong's scouts had already reported. They saw that Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang had lined up according to the mountain situation. It wouldn't pose much of a threat to Fancheng. On the contrary, if Cao Hong could conquer Zhuyang by himself, then the military fortress in the southwest of Fancheng would basically be useless...

As for whether Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang will counterattack Fancheng, firstly, Liao Hua and Zhuge's troops are not many, and Cao Hong did not go all over the city. In addition, Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang did not carry siege equipment. Even if they start to do it now, then It will be several days later, and the situation on the battlefield will be different, so Cao Hong is not very worried about Fancheng.

Therefore, what is before Cao Hong now is how to take Zhuyang.

Zhuyang has been defeated for a long time. Whether it is the city wall or the fortifications outside the city, there are many problems. Moreover, from Cao Hong's point of view, the defenders of Zhuyang are not well-known generals, at least at the moment, they are unknown, so Almost Cao Hong called Sima of his own army to the front and asked, "How many troops do you need to defeat the former enemy?" 』

Army Sima Yinshu replied: "According to what the scouts said, there are two thousand soldiers in Zhuyang, and no city defenses, and they are not soldiers of hussars. If a certain army has a thousand soldiers, it will be enough to break it!" 』Here, the Zhuyang soldiers mentioned by the Yin Department are naturally not the soldiers under the hussars, but the soldiers recruited by the Huang family Pangzi in the past few years, so naturally there is a gap between the soldiers and horses under the hussars , It can even be said that there is a big distance from Cao Jun's hundreds of soldiers.

Cao Hong shook his head, and said: "It is expected that the enemy should be lenient... Although the hussars have not arrived here yet, we must not underestimate the enemy. We do not seek complete victory, but delay. It can help the lord to take Jiangling in a roundabout way, and Jingzhou is also established... ...So there are two thousand soldiers between you and me... So, how should you arrange it? 』

Yin Shu thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, I should lead five hundred soldiers to Zhuyang, approach the city to invite a battle, lure the enemy to fight, pretend to be defeated and subdue him, and I will definitely win. Take the city in one fell swoop! 』

Cao Hong nodded and said, "Excellent, this strategy is very good!"You can act according to the policy!If you can capture the enemy general alive, it may be more useful...』

Ever since, Cao Hong asked the Yin Department to rush to Zhuyang first with [-] soldiers.He led the team and followed behind. In the middle of the night, for some reason, Cao Hong woke up suddenly when the dawn was approaching.

The surrounding guards snored heavily.It was the darkness before dawn, and naturally it was also the time when sleepiness was the thickest and sweetest. Everything around seemed quiet as usual, and there was no special movement, but a trace of uneasiness gradually grew in Cao Hong's heart.

This kind of uneasiness came very suddenly, which also made Cao Hong frowned. After thinking for a moment, he knew that there should be no problem with his arrangement, but he felt a little trembling and couldn't settle down.Although Cao Hong didn't notice any signs, after all, he came out of a sea of ​​blood fighting all the way. Sometimes this intuition really doesn't make sense...

Cao Hong turned over and stood up. After a moment of silence, he kicked the guard beside him and said in a deep voice, "Get up!"Get up! 』

Even though the surrounding guards were sleeping soundly, some were snoring, but after hearing Cao Hong's shout, the berserk guards woke up immediately, jumping up one by one, and immediately touched the blade of the weapon. Go up, listen to the surrounding movement first, and after confirming that there is nothing unusual, then slowly put down the weapon and focus on Cao Hong.

Cao Hong frowned, still thinking about his plans and arrangements, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Send the order, cook in advance, and leave at dawn!" 』

What happened to Cao Hong?
Although the guards thought it was a bit strange, they hurriedly gave orders to set up after being stunned for a moment. After a while, the camp came alive again, with all kinds of noises buzzing and cooking smoke rising...

Cao Hong stood in front of the big tent of his own army, looked into the distance, pinched his beard, and frowned deeply, "Where did something go wrong?" 』

There are actually many flaws in Cao Hong, but the biggest flaw in front of him is Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong had only fought against the Yellow Turbans and bandits before, and most of the generals would not take a second look at such feats. These days, whoever has some famous generals has never fought against the Yellow Turbans and Bandits? Bandits?
Therefore, neither Cao Hong nor Yin Shu had any idea about Huang Zhong. When Huang Zhong led five hundred soldiers into battle, Yin Shu even thought that it would be enough to defeat Huang Zhong directly without using ambushes...

Then, as soon as they fought, Yin Shu immediately felt that something was wrong.

Where is this ghost that popped out!

The Han Dynasty did not have the title of "Giant Spirit God". The name of this god was only confirmed in the Ming Dynasty, and it was only traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. ...

Yin Shu now felt that what he met was not a human being, but a ghost in human skin!

Although Yin Shu had previously confessed to his soldiers that he was planning to feign an attack and defeat Huang Zhong, and then ambush Huang Zhong, but now Yin Shu sees that there is no need for a feint or a feint...

Huang Zhong's broadsword swept across like lightning!

Cao Jun's soldiers in the front row suddenly seemed to be half shorter. Whether it was swords, guns, swords or halberds, or heads and arms, the two phases were separated immediately, and they were more decisive than those who turned their faces on Valentine's Day!
Huang Zhong took another step, raised the saber with both hands and slashed down obliquely. With a bang, even a shield covered with iron sheets couldn't block Huang Zhong's vigorous and heavy saber, and all kinds of sounds were heard. .Cao Jun's sword and shield sprayed blood from his hands and mouth, and he was swept away by the knife along with the other Cao Jun who followed him, and even Cao Jun in the back row was brought down together, rolling into a ball!
A row of jumping soldiers, a row of swords and shields, and a row of long grabbing soldiers, under Huang Zhong's sudden formation, except for screams of panic, Huang Zhong couldn't stop for a moment!
Yin Shu couldn't help feeling chills all over his body, and he was also glad that he didn't just stand in front of the formation like some fools and invite a duel. Seeing Huang Zhong was so brave, he ordered to retreat without saying a word. However, then just defeat Huang Zhong with an ambush.

Cao Jun hurried away, turned around and ran away.

Huang Zhong cut down the few people who fell in the back. Seeing Cao Jun's retreating figure, he shook the blood on the long knife, then stood the long knife behind him, and stroked his beard.

While running, Yin Shu looked back, damn it, these warriors cannot be dealt with by just one or two people, they must be formed to fight!

Uh?Why don't you chase after me?Why didn't you chase after me?

Yin Shu stared, trying to figure out what he would do if Huang Zhong really stopped chasing him, when he suddenly saw Huang Zhong's battle flag moving, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and while running with all his strength, he shouted: "Here we come!"coming!Everyone get ready!No matter how brave this guy is, he is only one person!We can definitely win! 』

That's right, although Huang Zhong's force really surprised Yin Shu, so what?What's the use of Huang Zhong's personal bravery to ambush with three times as many troops?
In the battle formation, the final comparison is the pawns!Powerless fools!Haha, come chase, come chase!
Yin Shu ran forward frantically, and seeing Huang Zhong and the others entered the ambush circle, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Do it!"Do it!Shoot them dead! 』

Cao Jun's archers who were ambushing all around stood up from the bushes or trees, and shot arrows one after another. Suddenly, the arrows were like hail, and they hit Huang Zhong and others like a hailstorm!

"shield! 』Huang Zhong yelled, his stature shortened, and he immediately hid under the shields of the surrounding soldiers.

Not only did Huang Zhong do this alone, under Huang Zhong's order, shields were erected one after another, forming an almost semicircular shield wall, and Cao Jun's arrows crackled or pierced or hit Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, except for a small number of arrows shot through the gaps in the shield.

"A lob!lob! Seeing that the archer's shooting did not achieve the desired effect, Yin Shu quickly ordered the archer to change the shooting mode, in an attempt to let the arrow pass over the shield and cause damage.

But what the Yin Department didn't know was that Huang Zhong himself was not an ordinary general. Although he had not made many achievements that attracted the attention of the world in the Jingxiang area for so many years, he never stopped training soldiers. The Huang family is not the one who is short of money. If the headquarter troops led by Huang Zhong are compared with the elite hussars, there may be some gaps in some aspects, but the gap is very small.

Even in the sword and shield hand, it may even be three points stronger than the average hussar sword and shield hand. After all, Huang Zhong himself is good at swordsmanship.
Although it was a sudden attack, soon Huang Zhong's sword and shield hands were like pieces of tortoise shell and armor, merging together in a very short period of time, hiding other soldiers behind, even the Yin Department Later, it was changed to lob shooting, but the high shield also prevented the arrows from top to bottom from achieving much effect.

The Yin Department led the troops here in light clothes, and of course the number of arrows they carried was not unlimited. After three waves of shooting, the archer's quiver had almost bottomed out...

Even if the archer still has arrows in stock, after shooting thirty or forty arrows in a row, it will inevitably lead to sore arms and need to be readjusted to recover.

Facing the tortoise-like formation of Huang Zhong's soldiers, and then looking at the densely packed arrows pierced on the shield, Yin Shu couldn't help swallowing, a little hesitant.

Normally, at this time, Yin Shu should have ordered all his subordinates to rush forward, and then launched a siege against Huang Zhong's soldiers, but now Yin Shu's eyes are rolling around, wondering whether he should issue the order according to the plan, because The Huang Zhong army formation in front of him doesn't look like it has been badly damaged...

However, Yin Shu did not move, which does not mean that Huang Zhong would stand there and wait stupidly. After realizing that Cao Jun's archers were weak in shooting and there was a gap in the attack, Huang Zhong roared and stood like flowers in the shield formation. In the blooming of the scorpion, shake out a knife light, and go straight to Yin Shu!
