Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1424 Sneak Attack Three

In the camp of the Hebei Zhou army, on the watchtower.

"It seems to be blocked!"

Yuan Shao said reluctantly.

"Ok!"

Tian Feng nodded, sighed and said: "The Ming army is powerful, and what he said is true. General Yan Xing has done a good job. Whether it is grasping the opportunity or responding to the battle, they are all top-notch. If it is someone else's defense, I am afraid it will already be the same. He defeated the defensive line and crossed the river directly, but the tenacity of the Ming army is number one in the world!"

"Who is this general?" Yuan Shao pointed to the battlefield in the distance and asked in a low voice the general of the Ming army standing in front of the suspension bridge.

"This person should be under the command of the Ming Army, the Zhonglang General of the Zhaoming First Army, Huang Shao!"

Tian Feng glanced at it. Even if he didn't know all the generals of the Ming army, as long as they were generals at the level of General Zhonglang, they could memorize their characters and background information by heart, so he recognized him at a glance: "This person was born in a yellow scarf. The army, originally a staff member of a wealthy family, took advantage of Zhang Jiao's uprising and rose up. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army swept the world. It was divided into the 36th Daqu Shuai and the 72nd Xiaoqu Shuai. But now it has basically disappeared. To be able to survive is to have accompanied the Ming Dynasty of the Mu clan all the way down, and he is a meritorious official at the veteran level. Although he does not have any special achievements, he must not be underestimated, as the saying goes, a good fighter has no great reputation!"

"Ok!"

Yuan Shao did agree with this point: "As the saying goes, a dog that can bite does not bark, but this Ming country dog ​​is not easy!"

"My lord, if you continue to fight, our army will suffer, so it's not appropriate!" Tian Feng suggested.

"What should I do?"

Yuan Shao frowned.

"It's better to withdraw first!" Tian Feng said softly: "Yan Xing is a fierce general, but you can't risk your life because of such a small matter, then you won't get a try!"

"Right!"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Then order Ming Jin to withdraw the people first. The moat is just a moat. Don't worry. When it comes time to attack, I can fill up the river!"

The moat is not the Luoshui River. If the Luoshui River cannot be filled up, the moat will not be filled up. At worst, some bamboo rafts and rafts can be cut down and laid directly on it, and they can cross the river.

There is no need to exchange huge casualties for a battle across the river.

"promise!"

Tian Feng took the order, and immediately handed over the token to a general beside him, and ordered him to go to Mingjin to withdraw the troops.

Ding Ding Ding! ! ! !

Ming Jin's voice came from behind Zhou Jun in Hebei, which made Yan Xing a little unhappy. He thought he had a chance to conquer the moat.

But as a battle-tested general, Yan Xing is no longer the arrogant general who ruled Xiliang back then. After the defeat in Xiliang, he has curbed most of his temper, and Han Sui will tolerate him, but Yuan Shao will not, learn to be cautious Yan Xing, who is cautious in words and deeds, will naturally not disobey the military order at this time.

So even though he was a little unwilling, he still ordered the soldiers and horses to be quickly withdrawn from the front line of the moat: "Huang Shao, a certain family belongs to Yan Xing. You remember, we will fight again on the battlefield in the future, new and old grudges, we will fight together!" Calculate!"

The so-called new hatred and old hatred, the new hatred is the next Liang Zi today, the outcome is not decided, he is not reconciled, the old hatred, that is the hatred of Han Sui back then, which is unforgettable.

Han Sui was defeated by the Mu army, and he and all the generals of the Mu army were sworn enemies.

"Anytime!"

Huang Shao put away his weapon and said coldly to the other side of the river.

In this battle, the moat was defended, and it was considered a victory. Although it was only temporary, it was enough to make the morale of the Ming army, which was somewhat low, rise rapidly.

Although the Ming army is elite, they are just ordinary people. In different environments, they will have different emotions. The reason why they are elite is that they can control their emotions.

But no matter what, this kind of emotion will still cause morale turmoil.

Faced with such a situation, surrounded by enemy troops several times outside the city, trapped in Luoyang, but unable to break through, can only fight desperately, and there are no reinforcements, naturally some morale is low.

On the top of Luoyang North City, Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai, Pang De, Pang Xi, Lei Hu and other generals were all watching the battle.

"It's only reached this level, and they gave up?"

Pound narrowed his eyes slightly, a little puzzled.

"They are not giving up, but restraining. Even if they continue to break through the moat, they can still restrain themselves, not making fearless sacrifices, and not wasting troops on the front of the moat!"

Xi Zhicai explained his confusion: "I hope they will continue to attack. At least their recklessness will make me feel more at ease. On the contrary, their calmness makes me a little uneasy. The calmer they are, the more representative they are." More than half of their strategic deployments have been formed!"

"Then are we dangerous?"

Pound asked in a low voice.

"Luoyang is already an isolated city, and we are among the town and the isolated city, how can we not be in danger!" Xi Zhicai laughed: "What we have to do is to seek victory in danger!"

"Victory in danger?"

The generals did not have such great confidence as Xi Zhicai, they all smiled bitterly, it was easy to say, but sitting up was as difficult as reaching the sky.

"Report to General Zhang, report the drama, General Huang Zhonglang requests, stationed by the moat!"

"allow!"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and said, "But we must build Pinzi camps to defend the left and right sides, and we can also retreat quickly!"

"promise!"

The messenger immediately went down and passed Zhang Liao's meaning to Huang Shao.

For the main force of Zhaoming's first army, camping outside the city has advantages and disadvantages, but overall, it is a good thing for the overall strategic deployment.

....................................

This local battle in the northern suburbs has alarmed many people.

sunset pavilion
Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiu and Pang Junshi opposed each other and sat down.

Zhang Fei is the main general.

As the sworn brother of King Yan, he not only has the highest status, but also has the strongest martial arts, capable of suppressing everything, including Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is very strong, but on the battlefield, he may not be able to fight against Zhang Fei's Snake Eight spears, so he is still very docile in front of Zhang Fei.

Junshi Pang is the military advisor of this battle, a counselor deeply trusted by Liu Bei, and also a mediator among the generals. The Yan army in Youzhou has also been divided into factions.

"Now that the Hebei army and the Ming army are fighting, it is also a good opportunity for us. Why don't we take the opportunity to attack?"

Zhang Fei's giant copper bell-like eyes radiated fierce light, staring at every general present, especially Zhang Xiu and Pang Junshi.

"Three Generals, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Zhang Xiu remained silent. His soldiers and horses were not as good as Zhang Fei's elite, and he himself was not as brave as Zhang Fei. In addition, he was not Liu Bei's direct descendant. He was a surrendered general. In front of Zhang Fei, he had nothing to say. The ability, so the one who spoke to appease him was the somewhat ugly Junshi Pang.

He smiled slightly and said: "Although the Ming army took the initiative to fight the Hebei army, they were just probing. It is not a good thing to attack at this time, and it is even self-defeating. Let them unite to guard against us. I am afraid they will gather first and deal with us!"

"How is it possible?" Zhang Fei stared, "We, the princes, are all united to deal with the Mu clan and the Ming Kingdom. Does Yuan Benchu ​​dare to tear up the covenant?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Pang Junshi said calmly: "Three generals, Yuan Benchu ​​is just a villain. In the past, Han Fu kindly took him in, but he suppressed him with Yuan's power, and even slaughtered him. In Jizhou, where there are so many people, you can't see such a person." What's the point of morality? He has a life-and-death enmity with us in Youzhou Yanguo. It is no longer a matter of a day or two if he wants to destroy us. Give it to the Ming army, who in the world would doubt him!"

The Yuan family, the fourth generation and third father behind Yuan Shao, whether it exists or not, is a big signboard. In this way, Yuan Shao's words are more convincing than most people's words, and they are trusted by the public.

So what Pang Junshi said was not to scare Zhang Fei. If there is a chance, Yuan Shao will kill them first, and then evade all actions one, two, three. At that time, Yan Kingdom may not necessarily fight for this matter, even if some people believe Liu Bei He will avenge Zhang Fei because of his brotherhood, and I am afraid that he will not be able to match the sharpness of Jizhou, Hebei.

"Such a villain, I can't wait to take his head for my brother!"

Zhang Fei said bitterly.

"The three generals don't have to be so irritable, it's not a bad thing!" Pang Junshi smiled, and the smile on his face looked even more strange: "If we can let them fight each other to the death, it will not be a bad thing for us." Yes, it's a good thing!"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Zhang Xiu only opened his mouth at this time, and said softly: "The scouts came back to report the news, they had only engaged in battle for half an hour, and then hurriedly retreated, there is no guarantee that Yuan Shao is not afraid of us!"

"Afraid of us?"

The eyeballs in Zhang Fei's giant copper bell eyes kept turning: "With their current strength, do they need to be so cautious?"

"Although their military strength is strong, we are not weak either!"

Zhang Xiudao: "With the troops under the command of the three generals, plus the Xiliang Army of a certain family, [-] to [-] main forces will press up and create an offensive of [-] troops. At that time, let alone the Ming army in Luoyang City, even Yuan Shao , Xiahou Dun at Hulao Pass will be very afraid of us!"

"That's a good statement!"

Junshi Pang said: "That's why we can't attack easily!"

"Then we can only continue to wait!"

Zhang Fei was not reconciled.

"Wait!"

Junshi Pang nodded, his eyes flickered, and he turned a trace of black light: "Yuan Benchu ​​has already regarded this battlefield as his possession, and the Ming army must defend to the death, and there must be a wound, but sooner or later, before that, we We need to bow our knees, we need to hide the elite of our lineage, and when the time comes, we will deal with them together!"

What he said was just to appease Zhang Fei.

In fact, he hasn't thought of a real countermeasure yet.

The so-called mantis catching cicadas and orioles is behind, the premise is that neither the mantis nor the cicadas know that there is a oriole. Only then can there be hope for success. It is so powerful that it is difficult not to know it.

So why not let them go, it is actually not easy for them to stay out of the matter.

"indeed!"

Zhang Fei thought about it, but he thought what Junshi Pang said was very reasonable. Since they are fighting, let them fight one game first. We will come out slowly, and when the time is right, we will attack directly.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much better. This is a person whose mood is expressed above his behavior. When he was in a happy mood, he burst out laughing.

Zhang Xiu and Pang Junshi looked at each other, they didn't have such simple thoughts, instead they had many thoughts in their hearts.

"What's next?"

Zhang Xiu lowered his voice and asked Pang Junshi.

After working together once, he still trusts Junshi Pang, so he has been wandering around with Junshi Pang.

"Still waiting!"

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for the two of them to bid!" Pang Junshi said in a low voice: "If our strength is the same, we will definitely be inferior to those who are inferior. In this battle, we are not considered the main force, but they are also very important. The Ming army in the city, they will have to force us to make a statement before the decisive battle!"

If the Wei army at Hulao Pass is insignificant and can't affect the overall situation much, then the Yan army in Youzhou can definitely go in and see blood. If anyone is not careful, he may be out of the game immediately.

"I'm not surprised that Yuan Jun will contact us, but Ming Jun?"

"The Ming army is the enemy, so it may not be our enemy!" Junshi Pang smiled sinisterly, especially his face, which was very strange, which made people feel a little chilled.

"Not our enemy?"

Zhang Xiu couldn't figure it out.

Although his mind is sometimes very heavy, he found that the minds of the Central Plains people are really not something he can guess so easily.

This is why, in the end, he still wanted to surrender to the princes of the Central Plains.

"It doesn't matter whether King Ming is expected by everyone, or a great mission descended from heaven!"

Junshi Pang responded softly to Zhang Xiu. Some things were not clear to Zhang Fei, but Zhang Xiu could make it clear: "After all, we are too far away from Youzhou. In fact, our goal has not changed!"

In such a chaotic world, a miracle can shake the people of the world, but it will not make these princes have any special feelings.

Who to hit, and who not to hit, are ultimately determined by interests.

They sent troops because of the great prestige and benefits that they could bring to Yan State by clearing up the Ming army. They did not send troops because they had a bigger plan.

"The goal is to..."

Zhang Xiu suddenly understood.

He took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly cleared up. It was also a little lucky that he did not continue to work alone, but chose to rely on him. Otherwise, he would collapse immediately if he was fighting each other every day, and he didn't have any special counselors around him.

........................

The Hulao is closed.

Looking far away, Xia Houyuan seemed to be able to see the direction of Luoyang City.

About Luo Yang's news, every two hours, a scout would send back a copy of the latest one for him to read. He was naturally very clear about Luo Yang's situation.

"Pity!"

He regretted the news that the Hebei Zhou army withdrew within half an hour of its attack.

It's a pity that we can't see the two sides fighting.

Now on the Guanzhong battlefield, it can be said that his Wei army has the weakest troops, so Xiahoudun didn't even dare to go out of Hulao Pass.

He was afraid that once he intervened, he would immediately become a target and be wiped out by others. In the end, he couldn't even file a complaint. He was so aggrieved that he would be wiped out by the entire army. When the news was sent back to the king, he might not be able to tell what the situation was. .

So he was very cautious.

"General, there is still a distance between Hulao and Luoyang. If there is a situation, we will easily miss it!"

Some generals proposed that they want to station one in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang for convenience.

"No!"

Xia Houyuan denied: "Let them toss about the battlefield in Guanzhong. Our responsibility is to guard Hulao Pass. Now the king has taken all the main force to take it, and the Central Plains is empty. It is obvious that I am asked to participate in the suppression of the Ming army in Guanzhong. In fact, it is just me Guard Hulao Pass, just guard our door!"

This battle has nothing to do with him.

Of course, if he has the opportunity, he will also pick up a cheap one, but he will not put himself in a dangerous situation just to pick up a cheap one. He prefers to watch the show quietly. That would be great.
