The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 143

In history, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in Hanzhong. When Cao Cao went south, he took the old road of Chencang, and when he returned from defeat, he took the road of Baoxie.The plank road of Mingxiu crosses Chencang secretly, and the "plank road" in it also refers to the Baoxie Road. The Baoxie Road is rugged and inexplicably difficult. Setting up thousands of troops to stop him would cut off his way forward and let him return without success. However, Guo Jia dared to take this road to enter Guanzhong!

After Zhang Liao took Hanzhong, Guo Jia asked about the situation of Baoxie Road and Ziwu Road. Baoxie Road was destroyed during the struggle between Chu and Han, but it was rebuilt during the Han Dynasty. The plank road at the southern end of the Baoxie Road was taken by Guo Jia before it was too late. As for the Ziwu Road, which crosses the Qinling Mountains and leads directly to Chang’an, it is also difficult and dangerous. Zhang Liao is in Hanzhong, and Guo Jia specially reminded him to familiarize himself with these two roads leading to Guanzhong. the way.

Guo Jia led the army to enter Guanzhong and cut off Lu Bu's back road. The shortcut is the Baoxie Road, because the northern exit of the Baoxie Road is just east of Chen Cang. If Guo Jia took the Meridian Road, he would definitely attack Chang'an, but It is impossible for him to risk the disgrace of the world to destroy the Han Dynasty.

Let Zhang Liao hold Lu Bu for more than half a month to buy time for Guo Jia to go north from Zitong County to Hanzhong. If it is to support Zhang Liao, a three-day trip is enough, but Guo Jia has to lead the army from Hanzhong to pass through the difficult and dangerous Bao ramp. The speed will naturally be very slow.

Chencang was taken by surprise. Guo Jia's original intention was to destroy Lu Bu first and then support the troops, but he didn't expect that Chencang had no heavy troops at all, but Lu Bu's military supplies and food. !

Lu Bu fought for more than half a month, but he only advanced less than a hundred miles. If he marched hurriedly, he could catch up in a day, but Guo Jia was not in a hurry, and led the army to move forward slowly. Fleeing to report to Lu Bu and Chang'an, after Lu Bu got the news, he must have lost his soul and retreated, trying to escape before the retreat route was blocked.

The actual situation was just as Guo Jia expected, Lu Bu withdrew his troops hastily!

"General! Lu Bu retreated, and retreated very quickly, it seems that no one was arranged to cut off the rear!"

Zhang Liao, who was confronting Lu Bu, was quickly notified by Yan Yan, and Zhang Liao fell into deep thought.

Yan Pu was always cautious, and said: "There will be no tricks, right? Lu Bu is also a general with a good reputation. How can he be so flustered when he withdraws? Isn't he afraid of us chasing him? Or he is pretending to retreat to lure our army to pursue him." ?”

Under other circumstances, Zhang Liao would agree with Yan Pu, but at this moment, he punched the table with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you count the days, the Lord's army must have already left the ramp. I'm afraid Lu Bu didn't withdraw his troops pretendingly, but really withdrew his troops. Moreover, there must be something wrong with his rear, so he is running for his life now! Pass on the order! The whole army pursues, General Yan, military adviser, you two lead the two wings of the army, join me Three groups of soldiers and horses chased and killed Lu Bu!"

Zhang Liao is the commander in chief. Now that the military order has been issued, Yan Yan and Yan Pu will stop thinking about it and follow suit. Yan Yan was not convinced by Zhang Liao at first, but after half a month of confrontation with Lu Bu, he was completely convinced by Zhang Liao and sighed There are a lot of talents under the lord's account.

Soon, the whole army of Zhang Liao was mobilized, led by the commander Zhang Liao, general Yan Yan, and military adviser Yan Pu respectively, and chased northward!

After stepping into the old way, Guo Jia ordered the whole army to be vigilant and ready to fight.

"My lord, why did you take Chencang but not keep it? Chencang is a strategic point from Yizhou to Guanzhong." Meng Da followed Guo Jia, not knowing why Guo Jia spit out the fat in his mouth. Not to mention that Chencang's strategic location is important, even an ordinary city, it's hard to imagine Guo Jia being so careless and throwing it away as soon as he says it.

Guo Jia didn't answer Meng Da, but instead said to Fazheng, "Xiaozhi, answer Zidu's question."

Fazheng looked a little embarrassed, because Guo Jia was already familiar with the style he liked to express, and whenever he had a chance to show off, Guo Jia called him by name.

"Chencang is indeed a strategic location, but the situation in Guanzhong is unclear. The lord's garrison in Chencang will attract strong enemies. There are few garrisons, and they cannot be defended. There are many garrisons. It is hard work for Yizhou to transport grain to Chencang, which is a waste of money. What's more, the lord can't expand the territory now, otherwise It is equivalent to acquiescing that Wang Yun's call to action is correct. To destroy Lu Bu is to show the world's heroes, not to occupy the city, and to return to Yizhou to keep one's own place is to show the world to see."

The reason why Guo Jia left after finishing the battle was exactly the same as Fazheng's analysis, except that Fazheng was a theory, while Guo Jia thought of something more specific.

Regardless of whether Wang Yun subdued Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals to the Liangzhou army, if he took down the city in Guanzhong, it would definitely make the Chang'an court uneasy. , or in history, Li Jue and Guo Si made troubles in Chang'an. If Guo Jia really occupied Chencang, he would not live in peace with Chang'an. The other party feared that he would definitely send troops to wipe it out. It's a hot potato.

After marching for half a day, the red sun was setting to the west, and the horses in front reported that there was a large army rushing from the south. Guo Jia immediately ordered the whole army to stop and prepare to meet the enemy.

"Gan Ning, you lead 1 people into the enemy army from the left flank, Wu Yi, Meng Da, Gao Shun, you three lead 3000 people each into the enemy army from the right flank, and I personally lead the rest of the troops to wait for the enemy in the middle. military."

After the military order was issued, the generals left separately. Guo Jia rode on the horse and lined up. In front of the Chinese army was the trapped camp with two thousand crossbowmen. Iron armor is getting better and better, and it tears people's bones.

In front of the smoke and dust, the sound of horseshoes shook the sky. Guo Jia looked up and laughed dumbfounded.

As expected, Lu Bu was running for his life. He was so embarrassed that he only cared about fleeing with his cavalry, not even caring about the infantry falling behind.

Such a general, among such people, Lu Bu, sent him a hundred, at most a hundred centurions, leading a hundred soldiers to charge into battle, Lu Bu deserved it, but if he had more soldiers to command, hehe.

The red rabbit traveled thousands of miles a day, and Lu Bu led the horse. He didn't care about the flood behind him, but after seeing the army waiting in formation on the road to the north, Lu Bu's heart was as cold as ice, so he stopped his horse quickly and took a closer look. The orderly soldiers were holding horned crossbows Facing the south, even though Lu Bu was brave, he didn't dare to take a step forward, but there were [-] cavalry behind him, so it would be good for them to charge.

But Lu Bu fell into despair again, because the opponent unhurriedly raised his carbine gun from behind and placed it in front of the formation!

At this moment, in a desperate situation!

The cavalry behind them, who were not as fast as the Chitu, also gradually caught up with Lu Bu, but they were also chaotic, unmanned and disorganized.

Lu Bu couldn't look forward and backward, so he waved his big hand, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and said, "Rush over!"

He was a general, he was Marquis Wen, and no one under his command would not listen to his words, so the cavalry swarmed up chaotically, intending to rush through Guo Jia's army, but Lu Bu himself remained where he was.

Guo Jia smiled and looked at the cavalry who came up to die. Although the effective killing range of the horned crossbow was only 50 meters to 100 meters, there were several rows of refusal carbine guns.

Puff puff

When they entered the range, the crossbowmen began to shoot and kill. The soldiers in the trapped camp were well-trained, so they really wouldn't be aimless.

Countless war horses neighed and fell in front of the formation, and countless cavalrymen fell from above, which not only made it difficult for the cavalry behind to advance, but also made them timid.

Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Wu Yi, and Meng Da led the Jinfan Army to outflank the two flanks. Guo Jia's army blocked the front, and the fan-shaped encirclement gradually took shape.

Cavalrymen kept falling down in front of the horse-rejecting guns, and the horses stabbed by the erected spearpoints also ran wildly. It's been a complete mess.

The infantry behind the cavalry, who ran for their lives on two legs, gradually caught up with Lu Bu, but just as they reached Lu Bu's side, they were flanked by Gan Ning and other generals from both wings.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who had been chasing all the way, also led his army to arrive. Looking down from the air, Lu Bu's army was flanked by Guo Jia in the north and Zhang Liao in the south, and was divided into two armies in the north and south, plus four armies on both sides. outflank.

Even though Yan Pu only led the army to command and did not go up to charge, Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Meng Da, Wu Yi, these generals all took the lead and led the army to execute tactics. Enter Lu Bu's army, divide Lu Bu's army into several sections, and then defeat them one by one.

The kill was easy, the kill was vigorous, and Lu Bu's army was completely helpless to fight back!
Lü Bu's army had already collapsed mentally. They ran for their lives first, and then were attacked. The enemy's offensive was swift and methodical, and it looked like they were invincible.

Blood splattered, screams rang out, and the shouts continued, but it was still not as loud as the two armies of Guo Jia and Zhang Liao beating the drums!

Beating the drum is the signal of war, the courage of the soldiers, and the clarion call to the enemy!
Just want them to go all out!
Blood flowed like a river, with broken limbs and arms everywhere. Lu Bu was completely dumbfounded. When had he seen such a powerful and clear-cut enemy army? !
He has been famous for a long time, but is there any real famous battle?He has killed countless enemies and beheaded generals, so the opponents he met were all clowns!

Lu Bu is holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and straddling the red rabbit. Even in the melee, he is definitely a striking person, so Guo Jia can look over and find Lu Bu. When he sees Lu Bu, he will raise Fang Tian's painted halberd from time to time to harvest the enemies around him. Life is indeed unstoppable, but Guo Jia still said to himself lightly: "Lu Bu, war is not determined by one person's bravery."

The red sun was setting in the west, dusk was approaching, and the sky was filled with a faint fiery red light, but it was still not as dazzling as the scarlet blood flowing in rivers on the battlefield.

When there were no more enemies around, Lu Bu didn't know how many people he had killed, but when he lifted his head out of breath, his eyes were dim and his face was pale.

Ten steps away from him, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Wu Yi, Gao Shun, Yan Yan, Yan Pu, and Meng Da led an army to surround him. In the direction Lu Bu was facing, a neat array of crossbowmen held The horned crossbows were facing him, and behind the crossbowmen, Guo Jia looked at him calmly on horseback.

"Fengxian, you and I will meet again after a long time."
