Shu Chen

The billowing black smoke rose to the sky, and the screams of being burned and roasted reached the sky.

In just a quarter of an hour, the mood of the Wei army Jingzhou soldiers changed from the joy of breaking the camp to the purgatory on earth; Wang Chang, who had been pulled away from the camp by the guards, also fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

Looking at the intensifying camp and listening to the screams that were getting weaker and weaker, he knew that the defeat of his army was set.

Although there were about [-] soldiers who poured into the Han army camp, and only [-] soldiers who were completely engulfed by the fire and could not escape, it seemed that he still had the intelligence of the first battle and still had the superiority of the troops, but he knew that the morale of the whole army was high. It was destroyed by this fire, and the heart of the army was burned.

Besides, Pi Scarpu has even figured out this kind of poisonous plan for the self-immolation camp, how can he not have a backhand?
An Neng will not take advantage of the situation to pursue and cover up!

In fact, his hunch was right.

But it is also an afterthought, too late to deploy.

When he asked the horn soldiers to order the generals to gather their soldiers as soon as possible and form an array to prepare for the Han army to kill when the Wei army and generals were not recorded, countless rafts and boats floated down the blocked river.

Each raft is full of lightly armed Han soldiers.

Everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory, and the soldiers who burst out to pursue and expand the results of the battle were rewarded with joy.

On the other hand, on Wei Jun's side, there are still countless people who are frightened by wolves, or they are all sluggish and sniffing the faint smell of burnt meat in the air.

One party's morale is like a rainbow, and the other party's military heart is lost and there is no formation at all.

It is also the war situation ushered in a one-sided downturn.

It was a battle that ended with the defeat of Wang Chang, the general of Wei Zhengnan, who oversaw more than [-] Jingzhou troops.

When he attacked the fortress, more than [-] people were killed or injured, more than [-] were killed by the fire or choked by thick smoke, and when the Han army took the opportunity to cover up, they trampled on each other or were killed more than [-] and captured more than [-].

Only more than [-] people left and fled back to Wancheng miserably.

The strength of the army was ten to six or seven, and all the food and grain in the camp fell into the hands of the Han army, and even Wudang County was seized by the Han army.

It can be called a classic war that outnumbered the crowd, enough to make Wang Chang leave a lot of ink in the history books.
The only fortunate thing is that Xiahouba and Xiahouxian, who faced off against the Han army in the Zhushui River Valley of Bashan North Road, did not report any hope of the battle, and kept their soldiers constantly inquiring about the battle situation on the southern Qinling Road. Therefore, it was very interesting to hear the news of Wang Chang's defeat. Early, he also rushed back before Zheng Pu went south to outflank Wudang County, avoiding the fate of defeat on both fronts.

It is also that the Wei state still has the strength to guard Nanyang and guard Wuguan.

Yes, the south gate of Guanzhong Sanfu, Wuguan.

If Gein goes north from Wudang County, he will be able to threaten Wuguan!

From a strategic point of view, if there are not enough troops and horses on the Jingxiang front of Wei State to contain Zheng Pu's troops, then the Han army in the three east counties will inevitably divide their forces, and go all the way to the Meridian Valley, all the way from Wudang County to the north and attack back and forth. Wuguan, so Wuguan will inevitably usher in the fate of its fall.

After all, since the Qin Dynasty, Wuguan has been defending from the south.

Unable to contain the attack from the direction of Guanzhong.

Once Wuguan falls, Chang'an City will become the front line, which will endanger Sima Yi's troops who have already rushed to the Youfufeng Sishui River Valley, and make Wei's officers and soldiers in Guanzhong panic because of the instability of the rear. All previous efforts were abandoned, even a complete failure!
The so-called pulling a move the whole body, so also.

Hu Zhi, the prefect of Wei Jingzhou, who was based in Wancheng, immediately dispatched all the soldiers who were guarding Fancheng to join forces with the soldiers of the headquarters after learning about Wang Chang's troops and came to Wudang County in person.

And he did not forget to send people to find Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Xian, and let them come to support him as soon as possible.

This is not because he wants to retake Wudang County, or to prevent the Han army from continuing to invade Wancheng with the sharpness of victory, and it is not because he is worried that the Han army will attack Wuguan in the north.

But in order to continue to perform the duties of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, the Han army that entered the three east counties was contained here, and it was not allowed to return to Guanzhong to disrupt the decisive battle initiated by Sima Yi.

However, can such a move to make amends come true?
He didn't have much confidence in his heart.

No way, how could he, Xiahouba and Xiahou Xian coerce the Han army not to leave?

Perhaps, when Ni Shu Scarpu returned to Hanzhong with Shi Shiran's troops in front of them, they couldn't inspire their soldiers to follow them into the North Qinling Road.

After all, the [-] elites under Wang Chang's leadership have all been defeated, so how could the Wei army still dare to chase after him~
It's fake to retreat without fear of Scarpu, and it's real to set an ambush halfway! ?
If they dare to force their soldiers to march, they may induce a mutiny.
The only consolation was to hope that after their supervising soldiers arrived in Wudang County, he had scruples when he returned to Hanzhong, and had to leave more soldiers to guard.

Alas, if you can contain a little more troops for Guanzhong, it will be a little more.

However, they could not understand the dispatch orders of the Han army.

Zheng Pu had no plans to lead the army into Hanzhong at all, let alone attack Wuguan.

After the great victory in the Dushui River Valley, in addition to assigning some soldiers to escort the prisoners back to Hanzhong County, he continued to sit in Wudang County in person, and also strengthened and raised the city wall and repaired fortifications in front of the Wei army.

It seems that there is an intention to build Wudang County into an outpost against the Wei army?

While Fangling built the river valley Guanxing and the general Shubu, it was the commander-in-chief Ma Fu who marched eastward to occupy the county, and also built fortifications based on the topography of Jingshan.This move made Jiangdong, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, quickly prepare for the war, and beware of the Han army's intention to drive to Xiangyang City.

In other words, the Han army in Dongsan County did not seem to care about the decisive battle in Guanzhong at all, but was preparing for the future conquest of Jingzhou.

Hu Zhi and others could not understand this.

The significance of Guanzhong's subordination to the Han or Wei is needless to say, but why didn't He Scarpu reinforce Guanzhong?

Moreover, he deliberately aroused Jiangdong's hostility and increased the pressure on the defense!
In other words, he was in Andu Chencang and deliberately built fortifications here to paralyze the Jingzhou troops and horses in Wei and Jiangdong, but privately he had secretly dispatched the elites to go to the Ziwu Valley to attack Wuguan?

After Hu Zhi and others made a plan, even if they sent people to Wuguan to warn the generals to be careful, they also did not forget to pass the results of the war to Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, so that he could be prepared.

Of course, that's all they can do.

Gein and the others couldn't be sure whether Zheng Pu and Guan Xing's ministry were going to secretly transfer troops to Guanzhong.

If not, but they divide their troops to guard Wuguan or go to the north exit of Meridian Valley to guard, and let the Han army see the captain of the fighters driving troops to Linwan City, then Jingzhou of Wei State will no longer exist!
If Nanyang County is lost, Luoyang will be exposed to the front of the Han army.
Let the capital usher in swordsmen and put the Son of Heaven in danger. For such consequences, they can't apologize for killing themselves!
However, they are all mediocre.

Zheng Pu and Guan Xing were really just building fortifications and had no other thoughts at all.

There is no reason for him.

The decisive battle in Guanzhong has been planned, and the victory of the Han army has been decided!
