Chapter 250 Strategic Success
In the middle of the night, the moonlight is like water.

The battle inside and outside Lanshiwu Castle has come to an end.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

At this moment, a group of black shadows came out of Lanshiwu Castle without a sound, and the shadows of the Xuanjia cavalry were faintly visible in the moonlight.

There are not many cavalry, only 500, but they are well-equipped and tall. They are elite cavalry under Zhang Bao.

It was also this elite team that fought in the hinterland of Runan before.

They are the masters of a hundred battles, no less than tigers and leopards.

On the horse, Zhang Bao's eyes were calm and firm, and the Zhang character flag fluttered gently in the wind. He held the spear tightly in his hand, stared ahead, and waited for the best opportunity.

After leaving the village of Lanshiwu Fort, Zhang Bao made a gesture, and the cavalry behind him understood.

All the cavalry rushed out like tigers out of the cage, and their horses galloped out like a gust of wind.

rumbling~
For a moment, the sound of horseshoes and the shouts of soldiers sounded in the night sky, as if the night was trembling.

Zhang Bao's elite cavalry approached quickly like ghosts in the dark, and then used sharp blades like reapers to intercept and kill the Wei army's logistics team in the night.

"Enemy attack!"

"Help!"

"Protect food, grass and supplies, and those who dare to flee without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

"Pierce through the enemy army, burn food and supplies, and make a quick decision!"

There was chaos on the battlefield, Wei Jun's terrified shouts were intertwined with Zhang Bao's calm commanding voice.

"Die!"

Zhang Bao roared, and the spear in his hand streaked across the night sky.

puff puff~
As soon as the gun was raised and the gun fell, several people were picked up by Zhang Bao, screaming again and again, pierced through a hole, and seemed to be dead.

Under Zhang Bao's swift offensive, Wei Jun, who was guarding the logistics and supplies, had no chance to react, and was caught off guard by his cavalry.

"Kill kill kill!"

Zhang Bao's elite cavalry were fighting happily and rampaging, which put tremendous pressure on the soldiers of the Wei army.

However, just as they were fighting vigorously, a powerful cavalry unit suddenly rushed out from both sides.

This cavalry unit is capable and well-equipped. It is the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu.

As early as Zhang Bao came out of Lan's Wubao, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took action.

It took some time to set up the encirclement circle, the tiger and leopard cavalry approached quietly, and then suddenly launched an attack.

"You guys follow me to kill!"

"Whoever takes Zhang Bao's head will be promoted to three levels, and will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

All of a sudden, sand and rocks were flying on the battlefield, and the sound of horseshoes was deafening. Zhang Bao's elite cavalry were immediately surrounded by the Wei army.

"He, his mother, is in ambush!"

Zhang Bao was covered in blood and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Even though he knew he was surrounded, there was still no fear on his face.

"Turtle formation!"

Zhang Bao decisively ordered to adjust the formation, and his fine cavalry tightly formed a defensive front, resisting the fierce offensive of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The battlefield was full of flames, horses neighed, swords and swords were intertwined, and the two sides launched a tragic hand-to-hand fight.

Although it is a turtle-shaped formation, the cavalry formation is not just for defense.

Only by moving can the combat effectiveness of the cavalry be brought into play.

Otherwise, if you fall into the vast sea of ​​Wei army infantry, how can you escape?
Zhang Bao brandished the spear in his hand. He was vigorous and defiant of strong enemies. He personally led the fine cavalry to charge into battle.

Although the tiger and leopard cavalry's offensive was fierce, they were still unable to break through Zhang Bao's defense line.

On the other side of the battlefield, Sima Yi personally commanded the main force of the Wei army to round up Zhang Bao's elite cavalry.

It turned out that Sima Yi had expected that Zhang Bao might sneak attack at night, so he not only set a trap outside Lanshiwu Fort, but also arranged Cao Xiu's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to ambush.

He was well aware of the bravery of Zhang Bao and his cavalry, so he laid a net to wipe out Zhang Bao's cavalry.

Zhang Bao is Liu Chan's general. Taking his head is like breaking Liu Chan's arm. The most important thing is that it can boost morale!
After several days of siege, the Wei army needs morale too much.

drive!
drive!
drive!
Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard cavalry, and locked Zhang Bao's cavalry firmly so that he could not get out quickly.

And Sima Yi made full use of Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry to contain Zhang Bao, creating more offensive opportunities for the Wei army.

A big net has already wrapped towards Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao, who was so red-eyed, was naturally not aware of the changes on the battlefield, but as the elite cavalry around him fell one by one, Zhang Bao knew that if he was dragged down, he would really be unable to escape.

"General, retreat quickly, I will wait for you to come to the rear!"

Obviously, Zhang Bao is not the only one who has such an idea on the battlefield.

Zhang Bao's personal guards obviously caught this.

Immediately, dozens of riders organized and rushed in one direction.

Originally, the cavalry relied on speed to win, but if you want to break through in one direction, there is less room for maneuvering and turning. When the speed decreases, the lethality of the cavalry will naturally decrease.

Casualties are mounting.

But more cavalry had to be ordered to chisel in one direction. Even though the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry were in front of them, it still opened a way for Zhang Bao's cavalry to survive.

Protruding from the encirclement, there were only dozens of riders left. Zhang Bao didn't have time to be sentimental, and ignored the arrow wounds and gunshot wounds on his body. He leaned on his horse and ran towards the south.

He didn't even dare to escape into Lanshiwu Fort, for fear that the defeated army would rush into Lanshiwu Fort, which would destroy Lanshiwu Fort instead.

Today he took the risk to attack, and originally intended to make a great achievement, but now he made a big mistake. The big mistake has been made, but he can't make the same mistake again and again!
Cao Xiu wiped out the cavalry of the Han army who did not break out of the encirclement one by one, and Cao Xiu had a look of unwillingness on his face.

Because it was dark, although Cao Xiu knew that someone had broken through, he didn't expect that it was Zhang Bao.

Otherwise, he will pursue it.

"It's a pity that Zhang Bao's life could not be saved."

Cao Xiu raised the bloody blade with a look of reluctance on his face.

"It's a pity that Zhang Bao's life was not saved. However, most of Liu Chan's most elite cavalry has been damaged. It will be much easier to fight against him later."

In this era, cavalry is definitely a heavyweight arm.It can even be said that whoever has the superior cavalry has already won half of the war!

If an analogy is to be made, the cavalry is probably like today's tanks and armored vehicles.

Although armored vehicles and tanks cannot climb high walls, it is impossible to storm a city.

But in most war environments, these things have a decisive effect.

This was the case in the Battle of Pengcheng that year. Xiang Yu used only 56 cavalry to annihilate the Qin army's [-] troops. The results and tactics of this battle are exciting.

Although there are reasons to boost morale, it is undeniable that cavalry is too important.

Otherwise, the cavalry is so expensive, why do you try to raise the cavalry?

To feed a professional soldier, more than five farmers are often needed to provide him with rations.

Moreover, it is often impossible for a real cavalry to have only one horse. Basically, two to three horses are transferred.

Plus the fodder for the horses and the weapons and equipment needed by the cavalry.

Before the Warring States Period, it often took fifty ordinary farmers to support one professional cavalryman!
Expensive is expensive for a reason.

In this battle, Zhang Bao lost four or five hundred cavalry troops, which was really traumatic for Liu Chan's elite cavalry.

"Also, they don't have horses to supply!"

After hearing what Sima Yi said, the expression on Cao Xiu's face improved a lot.

"These war horses were the ones that captured my tiger and leopard cavalry before, and wiped out their elite cavalry. On the Runan battlefield, my tiger and leopard rider can come and go like the wind again!"

"General, hurry to Shenyang for support. Now, let me see if I can take down Lan's Wubao tonight!"

With Zhang Bao's new defeat, the army's morale must be slackened in Lan's Wubao. If he can be captured when his army's morale is slackened, it will boost morale and eliminate hidden dangers behind him.

Otherwise, this Lanshiwu Fort has become a nail in the Han army, shouldn't he be on guard at all times?

How can others sleep on the side of the couch?

The main force of the Wei army's infantry, which had been prepared for a long time, was once again pressed outside Lan's Wubao.

When the Wei army launched an offensive again and launched an impact on Lan's Wubao, it encountered strong resistance from the defenders in Wubao.

It turns out that although Zhang Bao is bold, he also inherited the merits of his father Zhang Fei's carefulness.

He only took the cavalry out of the city, and the infantry stayed in Wubao.

During the one-day repair time, the defenders of Lanshiwu Castle had already made defensive preparations. Solid fortifications were built on the city wall, and facilities such as arrow towers were readily available.The defenders in the city are standing by, and the defense facilities inside and outside Wubao are arranged in an orderly manner.

Wei Jun launched an offensive, but found that the way forward was blocked by a series of traps.

Traps, spikes, nooses, etc. made it difficult for the Wei army to move forward.

Arrows, stones, and kerosene on the city greeted the Wei army who was besieging the city.

Even though the Wei army fought hard to attack the city wall, the fortifications of Lanshiwu Fort were extremely strong, and the wooden boards and stones built on the city wall played a very good defensive role.Although the Wei army's offensive was fierce, it was difficult to break through the defense line of Lanshiwu Fort.

After many charges and attacks, the morale of the Wei army began to decline, and some soldiers had been injured and fell down.

"It seems that now is not the time to attack the city!"

Sima Yi realized that the situation was wrong, so he decisively ordered to retreat.

The safety of Shenyang and Ancheng is much more important than the mere Lanshiwu Fort.

He has no time to spend here.

The Wei army attacked fiercely, but when it retreated, it was as swift and violent as the ebbing sea.

In a blink of an eye, Lan's Wubao, which was screaming and killing, fell into peace again.

of course
Calm is relative.

The painful screams of the injured, the frightened voices of the children in the dock, and the big yellow dog raised by someone else howled from time to time.

Call ~
but.
Lanshiwu Fort was defended, right?
Lan Zhan had a rare sincere smile on his face.

The Runan Lan family was saved by him.

But the Crown Prince of Hanzhong, can he really win the battle in Runan?
Lan Zhan was also worried.

But compared to the Runan Chang clan, his Runan Lan clan had no choice.

Now, I can only follow Liu Chan all the way to the dark.

The next morning.

Xinxi City.

In the backyard of the government office.

In front of the clothing environment, there is a beautiful woman helping Liu Chan arrange his clothes.

This beautiful woman has a beautiful face and exudes a gentle and dignified temperament.The skin is fair and delicate, like graceful jade porcelain, you can feel her smoothness with a light touch.The facial features are exquisite and well-proportioned, the eyebrows are slightly raised, and the eyes are like autumn water, crystal clear, revealing a trace of clear light.

If it's not Zhen Mi, who else is it?
"Your Highness, there are still folds here."

Zhen Mi seemed to deliberately show her proud figure in front of Liu Chan, their cheeks were almost touching.

Each can hear the other's breathing.

Zhen Mi's lips were as red as cherry blossoms, slightly upturned, like a budding flower, exuding a hint of seductiveness.

The temptress was indeed seducing him.

It is estimated that this guy has his blood sooner than Princess Zhurong.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Other people's wives are completely different from my own.

In addition, Zhen Mi is free to play, mature women's skills and charm are not comparable to ordinary people.

If it weren't for Hua Tuo being by his side, and several of his disciples taking care of his body, how could this small body be able to bear it?
"OK OK."

Liu Chan said angrily, "I still have to deal with business!"

As soon as Liu Chan's words came out, Zhen Mi really stopped being fussy, and after a while, she helped him tidy up his makeup.

Stepping out of the backyard, Liu Chan soon arrived at the meeting hall.

At this moment, the sky has not yet fully lit up, and there is some mist around, but in the meeting hall, people have come together.

Like Fei Yi, with a haggard look on his face, obviously he hasn't closed his eyes all night.

Zhuge Liang's feather fan scarf was yawning at the moment. Although he looked chic, he obviously didn't have a good rest.

"Your Highness, the battle report between Shenyang and Ancheng has arrived. General Zilong succeeded in attacking Ancheng. However, Shenyang was guarded by Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun. He was unable to take it down. This son knows how to defend the city, and reinforcements from the Wei army have arrived. It will not be easy to win Shen Yang again."

As soon as Liu Chan sat down, Fei Yi stepped forward to report the news.

"It's a pity that Shenyang hasn't taken down yet. It's a surprise to be able to win Ancheng."

The sneak attack on the lower city is not successful every time.

In fact, Liu Chan also made plans for Zhao Yun's failure to attack the city.

Taking an Ancheng cut off the Wei Jun's Nanru Water and Food Road. After a long time, it was the Wei Jun who couldn't stand it.

On the strategic level, Zhao Yun's attack this time was already a success.

"Although Chen Tai is young, he is not easy to deal with."

Chen Tai is the son of Chen Qun. After the death of his father Chen Qun, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yingyin.

When the Gaoping Mausoleum coup happened, Chen Tai strongly persuaded the general Cao Shuang to surrender, so he gained the trust of the Sima family who was in power. Afterwards, in order to avoid court struggles, Chen Tai took the initiative to ask to be transferred to Yongzhou to serve, and successfully defended against Shu general Jiang Wei's many attacks during his tenure.

In the first year of Ganlu, Chen Tai was transferred back to the court to serve as the Minister of the Right Servant. He followed Sima Zhao to resist the attack of the Eastern Wu twice, and then he was changed to the Left Servant.

In terms of ability, this guy still has it.

"If Shenyang doesn't go down, Ancheng is a lonely city, and it's hard to defend for a long time. Next, should I take down Shenyang, or?"

Fei Yi frowned, looked at Liu Chan and asked.

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "What do you think, the military master?"

Zhuge Liang raised his brows, with a happy expression on his face.

Obviously, the strategy is hidden in his chest and abdomen.
