Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 674
The Shu army did not take the main road to flee, but only looked at the mountains and forests. The barbarians were as flexible as apes. They were killed by Xia Houshang, but only two or three hundred were killed, and the rest escaped.

After chasing and killing for nearly five miles, Xia Houshang stopped his troops. "I have seen through the thief's plan. It is difficult for such a thief to make a fortune. Return to the army!"

Before he had gone far, his confidants shouted loudly, "General, the mountain is on fire!"

Xia Houshang took a look and saw that Dingjun Mountain was already surrounded by smoke and the fire was not big.Did the soldiers accidentally set fire to it, or was it set on fire?
"Report to the general, someone set fire on the mountain from the small road, and the camp is currently besieging and fighting the fire, please return quickly, general!" He galloped from Dingjun mountain.

Xia Houshang said angrily: "Good thief, lure me down the mountain, looking for an opportunity to set fire, it is really hateful, after I put out the fire, I will search and arrest you strictly, and I will eat you alive!" Urgently ordered to return quickly.

After walking another two miles, countless cold arrows were shot from the dense forest, and countless banners were protruded. When he shouted to kill Zhentian, a general blocked the way: "Xia Houshang, I, Wei Yan, have been waiting here for a long time!"

The strategy Fazheng and Wei Yan made was to send 2000 people to pretend to be Cao Jun. After Xiahou Shang saw through it, they would send troops to strangle him. .Cao Jun on the mountain was busy fighting the fire, but Cao Jun below the mountain could not be rescued.

Xia Houshang was shocked, there are so many Shu troops, how did so many people arrive at Dingjun Mountain!He didn't know that there were only 5000 people in the Shu army, but there were only 500 in front of him.Cao Jun is also a little confused. Is this an ambush at the door of his house?

"Kill!" Xia Houshang brandished his iron spear to fight Wei Yan. He had to kill Wei Yan before returning to Dingjun Mountain.

It's a pity, Xia Houshang is Wei Yan's opponent, Wei Yan is already very powerful, and he was taught by Dian Wei and Hua Xiong in Xuzhou.When did Liu Bei have such a strong general?
Unable to beat Wei Yan, Xia Houshang wanted the whole army to press up and try to rush through the Shu army. However, at this time, the Cao army was in chaos behind, and the Shu army who had fled into the dense forest came back again. The battle on the mountain road was a disadvantage. In the great chaos, Xia Houshang had no choice but to retreat, and he retreated for nearly [-] miles before stopping the decline.Xia Houshang hurriedly sent someone to Yangping Pass to ask Xia Houyuan for help, and sent someone to Tiandang Mountain to remind Cao Hong to be careful.

Wei Yan received his army back and wanted to attack Dingjun Mountain again, but saw that the gate of Dingjun Mountain was already open, and two generals came out to welcome him: "Wen Chang came a step late, and Dingjun Mountain has been taken by me."

The current one with a silver helmet and silver armor, a white horse and a silver spear, is exactly Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.After Zhao Yun received the report of capturing Micang Mountain, he immediately followed up with his general Zhang Zhu and led 2 people, and ordered Zhang Yi and Zhang Ni to lead [-] people to follow up. At the time of Xiahou Shang, Zhao Yun captured Dingjun Mountain.

"Hahaha, General Zilong came just in time, and I was worried that there would not be enough troops to defend Dingjun Mountain." Wei Yan didn't feel that Zhao Yun was taking credit. "Where is Xiaozhi?"

Zhao Yun sighed: "Xiao Zhi is taking stock of grain and grass. Alas, it's a pity that we are one step late. Xia Houshang just sent 50 shi of grain and grass to Yangping Pass, and just now a fire burned nearly tens of thousands of shi. It is estimated that there will still be left Two or three million stones?"

The facts were worse than what Zhao Yun had expected. The food in Dingjun Mountain was less than [-] shi, so it probably wouldn't last long.

To capture Dingjun Mountain, Wei Yan's intrigue is half completed, and the rest is how to defend Dingjun Mountain and expand the victory.

"Mr. Xiaozhi, Xia Houshang fled, and Xia Houyuan will lead an army to rescue him. I wonder what trick you have?"

"Haha, although Xia Houyuan is brave, who doesn't know that he is called General Baidi? There is nothing to be afraid of. Our army is exhausted from the long journey. We just need to rest. After he comes, I will plan to defeat him!"

Baidi is a field that does not grow crops. Xiahouyuan, like his elder brother Xiahoudun, is fierce and brave by nature. Although there are a lot of soldiers around him, he likes to charge forward. This is of course the demeanor of a general, which can play a role in inspiring the morale of the soldiers. , but as the commander-in-chief of the first army, it is a bit too much. The commander should do a good job of arranging troops and dispatching in the middle, otherwise Xia Houdun will not be blinded by Cao Xing.

Wei Yan said: "Although this is the case, I am afraid that I will not have enough troops. Why don't you ask my lord to send more troops, and we will take Tiandang Mountain together."

Maybe it's because Fa Zheng's temperament is against him, or it's because Fa Zheng shares the same goals with him in terms of military use and strategy, or maybe it's because he has opinions on Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan is very polite and respectful to Fa Zheng.

After the discussion, Fazheng immediately sent someone to report the victory to Liu Bei and asked for additional reinforcements, and sent someone to Chengdu to urge food.Zhao Yun and Wei Yan seized the time to rectify the troops, repair the camp, and send scouts to inquire about Xiahouyuan and Tiandang Mountain.

Xia Houyuan guarded Yangping Pass, and after defeating Zhang Fei and Ma Chao one after another, he intended to send troops to discriminate. Chen Shi's plan to send troops to Ma Ming Pavilion was full of confidence in defending Hanzhong.After confronting Liu Bei for more than a year, Liu Bei could not advance an inch, but lost nearly ten thousand people. Xia Houyuan firmly believed that as long as he persisted, the Shu army would not be able to transport food smoothly, and Liu Bei would be exhausted sooner or later.

However, Xia Houshang's request for help made Xia Houyuan break out in a cold sweat. "How did Liu Bei's army get to Dingjun Mountain? How many people does Liu Bei have?"

Sima Guo Huai said solemnly: "According to what General Boren said, there are at least several thousand soldiers in the Shu army. It is impossible for such a large number of horses to sneak in from the mountain trails. I am afraid that Micang Mountain is lost."

Xia Houyuan and Governor Zhao Yanqi nodded in agreement. "With the loss of Micang Mountain, the Shu army will continue to increase its troops, and it is necessary to recapture Dingjun Mountain before the Shu army arrives."

"The two of you are defending here to prevent Liu Bei from attacking again. I will personally lead the troops to rescue." Xia Houyuan said.

"Wait a minute, general." Guo Huai stopped Xia Houyuan, "The Shu army's soldiers came here after traveling a long distance, and they only want to fight quickly. The general must not fall for it. The general only needs to set up camp on the main roads and set up antlers to stop the Shu army. , Our army is not short of food and grass, but the food and grass of the Shu army is not enough to transfer. The Shu army will not be able to advance, and it will definitely retreat in a short time. At that time, Dingjun Mountain and Miicang Mountain will be recovered."

Zhao Yan deeply thought so. "What Boji said is true. The mountains here are undulating and densely forested. If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by the enemy. The Shu army is in danger, and our army will break it. In addition, we must beware of the Shu army attacking Tiandang again. Mountain."

"With Zilian here, there will be no worries in Tiandang Mountain." Xia Houyuan trusted Cao Hong very much.

Guo Huai was very worried about Xia Houyuan's carelessness. "General, the situation in Hanzhong has changed. It is better to report to the king of Wei quickly and ask the king of Wei to make a decision."

"can."

After the confession, Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yong, who was the governor of Yizhou, led 3 troops to Dingjun Mountain.Guo Huai and Zhao Yan led [-] people to deploy defenses along the river, and paid close attention to Liu Bei on the south bank of Mianshui.
