Chapter 340: Battle to the Death (Third Update)
In the land of Hanzhong, in Huo Jun's camp.
Huo Jun, the only general left behind by Liu Bei, looked at the scouts who came to report, and his expression was no longer ugly.
Although everyone said that he was stationed here, it was probably because their lord Liu Bei wanted him to repair it.
After all, the soldiers under Huo Jun's command had been seriously injured in the previous series of battles.
He needs time to train nearly brand new soldiers, and this also requires an army of troops to accept the migrating people here.
This is free credit!
But even so, Huo Jun never let down his vigilance.
After receiving all the people from Fufeng County, they continued to migrate to Shangyong to fill the vacancy in Shangyong.
On the other hand, more people are constantly deployed to allocate food and grass to ensure the survival of the people.
Finally, he sent additional scouts to investigate the surrounding situation and his own surroundings to prevent anyone with malicious intentions from taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
The training and construction of barracks and forts have also sped up a lot. It can be said that Huo Jun has achieved the best defense he can without everyone understanding.
Until this day comes.
"Nearly [-] Cao troops have already arrived at the city. There is only half a day's journey left. The vanguard army is Cao Mengde's own army, the Tiger Guards!"
When the seriously injured scout said these words intermittently, he passed away. The power of these words made everyone weak in fear.
The war a few years ago seemed to be right in front of them, and Cao Mengde's Tiger Guards were second only to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in their hearts.
At this time, they were short of soldiers and horses, food and grass were not enough, and even those new recruits had only gone through a series of trainings.
Not even a little bit of fighting started.
How can these soldiers and horses defend this land?
"General, I'll wait"
"Immediately send a message to the two generals Feng Xi and Zhang Nan in the rear, asking them to relocate the people to the city as soon as possible!"
Huo Jun's words made the generals' hearts tremble even more.
"Can't we defend this place? The mountain road is narrow, the general has been prepared for it, and the fort is strong enough."
As a deputy general who was temporarily transferred to Huo Jun's command, Xue Yong himself could not continue talking.
All these preparations were probably nothing more than a joke in the eyes of Cao Mengde, who suddenly arrived.
"There is not much we can do. At this time, the lord has been planning to ambush Yan Yan and others in Xichuan for a long time.
If the Lord evacuates at this time, his previous efforts will not be wasted, but he will be completely unable to advance or retreat.
It doesn't matter if Hanzhong is lost, but Shangyong is no longer in danger, and Nanyang is broken and it is difficult to mobilize troops quickly.
Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies on both sides. If Cao Mengde's elite army is allowed to break into Nanyang directly, there will really be no chance of survival.
The only thing we have to do now is to buy enough time for the Lord.
As long as the lord takes the lead to wipe out Xichuan's soldiers and horses, he can directly kill the soldiers and horses into Badi.
By that time, I will have more chances to turn defeat into victory."
"General."
"The army was ordered to stand ready and guard Wubao without retreating even a step.
In addition, we are not allowed to inform the lord of the true situation here until we can no longer hold on! "
"Why don't you tell the Lord!"
"If you say so, do you think that with the character of the lord, would you sit back and watch me be slaughtered by Cao's army, would you sit back and watch the countless people in this city under the vanguard of Cao's bandits?
I don’t know what Thief Cao will do in Hanzhong, but I know that if someone really has to bear the responsibility for such a killing, it shouldn’t be the Lord! "
"." Xue Yong was silent when he heard the words, but in the end he could only sigh, "If so, how should I guard this place?" "Of course we can't guard it."
Huo Jun was helpless at this time. After shaking his head for a while, he took out the map and put his finger on a certain position on the map.
“The only thing we can do now is delay as much as possible.
The army stayed here, using the fortress as a base to block Cao's bandit army, and sent a lone army directly into the mountain road.
This mountain road is steep, and as long as you stand in the mountain, you can attack Cao's army's flanks.
Of course, if not everyone on the Cao thief suddenly lost their minds, an elite force would definitely be able to block this lone army.
But in this way, they can be regarded as blocking their own troops.
After all, this mountain road is only so wide, and if they set up camp, the follow-up soldiers and horses will not be able to pass through it properly."
After Huo Jun finished speaking, he directly said the most important words.
"Therefore, this group of troops is destined not to come back alive."
"." Xue Yong looked at the general in front of him. He knew that Huo Jun was ready to die here.
After a long silence, Xue Yong knelt directly in front of Huo Jun.
"My father, Xue Lan, was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's massacre, so he turned against Cao Cao and was eventually killed by him.
Before his death, he entrusted the general to the command of Xuande Gong and asked the lord to save the life of the general.
Over the years, Duke Xuande has shown great kindness to the general, and today I ask the general to give the general a chance to repay his favor! "
Looking at Xue Yong kneeling on the ground, Huo Jun opened his mouth slightly, and finally sighed silently.
"I heard that your father was also one of the Eight Greatest Men in the World. I hope you will not live up to your father's reputation.
After this battle, your son, the heir-lord, will definitely be treated well. "
"My lord is benevolent, I am very relieved. I will leave today. Please take care of yourself, general!"
After Xue Yong finished speaking with a big smile, he walked out with his head held high, and soon a group of soldiers and horses left quickly under the leadership of Xue Yong.
They were in a hurry and did not have time to prepare too much food and baggage. They only carried a few days of dry food, and then rushed to the mountain road before Cao Mengde's army arrived.
Looking for a dangerous place and staying high up, waiting for Cao Mengde's front army to pass, he would directly harass the middle army and prevent his army from continuing to penetrate deeper.
The news from the other side was also quickly sent to Chenggu and Weiyan, who had moved to Baocheng.
Huo Jun personally wrote to the generals and left his suicide note to his old servant, asking him to wait until he died here in battle before handing it over to his lord Liu Bei.
As for his son Huo Yi, he never said a word.
As Xue Yong said before, Liu Bei's benevolence will definitely not let their heirs lose.
In mid-October of the 17th year of Jian'an, Cao Mengde finally walked out of the damn mountain road after going through ups and downs.
The difficulties and tribulations along the way made Cao Mengde want to give up several times.
But in the end, he persisted only after the desperate persuasion of Liu Ye, Xun You and others.
At this time, their army was short of food and grass, their soldiers were exhausted, and tens of thousands of troops could live or die in just an instant, while Cao Mengde jumped out of the formation directly.
"Today, the truth will charge with you!"
"Breaking through the barriers and entering Hanzhong, I promise that you will plunder the wealth of Hanzhong at will!"
"kill!"
