794. The Battle of Bowang

If you want to say that Ma Chao really helped Tai Shici and Zhang Fei a lot. By the time Xiahou Yuan hurried back to Wancheng, the Battle of Xiangyang had already come to an end. The south gate of Nanyang has been closed. Since then, Nanyang has been isolated from Jingzhou.

Tai Shi Ci occupied Xinye, scouted and rode out, listening to the movements of the Cao army, on this day, the spies came to report, saying that a Cao army from the north was surging, and the flag was that Xiahou Yuan was back.

When Tai Shici heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he got up with a smile, and said to Tian Feng with a smile: "Yuan Hao, I am sitting here, but I am waiting for Xiahou Yuan for a long time. He ordered the left and right Yamen, ordered the three armies, reorganized the troops and horses, and wanted to attack Xiahou Yuan.

Tian Feng twisted his beard, and was a little worried in his heart, after all, Xiahou Yuan was also a famous general in Cao's camp, and there were many Cao soldiers and few of his own people. I was afraid that Tai Shi Ci would be lost, so he said: "Ziyi, why don't you wait for General Zhang to come, the two armies will be united, and then attack Xiahou, how about it?" ”

Xiahou Yuan laughed and said: "If you wait for Yide to come, then Xiahou Yuan has already entered Wancheng, Wancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to take." I will first entangle Cao Jun, and then send someone to invite Yide, and then Xiahou Yuan will definitely be defeated! ”

Tian Feng thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, so he said: "In this case, I will go with Ziyi." ”

Tai Shi Ci flatly refused. This big battle must be a river of blood, as a general of the army, he must go into battle to fight, and at that time, who can take care of Tian Feng. Besides, Xinye can't be unguarded, if he is really defeated, there is a way out.

Tian Feng had no choice but to stay in Xinye, and in accordance with Tai Shici's instructions, he sent the flying cavalry south and moved troops to Zhang Fei's side.

Tai Shi Ci led the soldiers and horses, and went up from Xinye, swaggering and not avoiding the ears and eyes of the soldiers and horses of Wancheng. The soldiers and horses of Wancheng didn't know what this Han soldier meant, and they didn't dare to go out of the city, so they only guarded the city gate and watched Tai Shi Ci go away.

Hurry up, Tai Shici blocked Xiahou Yuan in Bowang. Bowang, hundreds of years ago, because of Zhang Qian's great contribution to the Han Dynasty, was named the Marquis of Bowang by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he ate Bowang in a county. This place is north of Funiu Mountain, west of the White River, the terrain is dangerous, and the Xianghan Pass Road passes through from here. The later Nanlan Expressway also passed through this place.

When Xiahou Yuan saw the banner of the Han army, he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and immediately reacted, and scolded the defenders of Wancheng for being incompetent, and let this Han army walk in front of him unharmed.

When the enemy met, his eyes were very red, so what else to say, as soon as the two armies appeared, they immediately put on a formation. As long as the order is given, the two sides can start fighting at any time.

Xiahou Yuan pulled his horse out, his face sank like water, and when he arrived at the front of the battle, he shouted: "Who is the one who violated my boundary? ”

Tai Shici listened, the prancing horse shook the gun, rushed out, saw Xiahou Yuan, and said: "Why did Miaocai say this, could it be that this Nanyang is no longer in the Han realm?" The general records the affairs of the book, and oversees the military and politics of the world, why can't I come on the orders of the general? ”

Liu Bei has an innate advantage in politics, and Tai Shici's words blocked Xiahou Yuan so much that he didn't know what to say. He can't always carry the red flag against the red flag. Although it is a fact that the drama is cut, this thing can only be done but not said.

Xiahou Yuan, who was a little annoyed and angry, said: "Since Ziyi came by order, it is useless to say more, then I will see the real chapter under my hands." Then he turned and went back to the camp. Don't fight for these tongues, just use people to push.

I have the advantage of my own troops, and I am fighting locally, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take the next Tai Shici? Xiahou Yuan returned to the camp, and as soon as the order was issued, the drums beat everywhere, and Cao Jun rushed over with a shout.

Seeing this, Tai Shici also waved his hand, and at the same time as the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, he led the vanguard to rush towards Cao Jun. The two armies were immediately strangled together.

Xiahou Yuan half-squinted, standing on a gentle slope, thinking quickly in his heart when the reinforcements of the Han army would come. He has been in battle for a long time and has fought countless battles. Naturally, he understood that Tai Shici would not bring people to death. Then there is only one possibility, Tai Shici is the vanguard force, and he has only one purpose, which is to entangle himself and prevent himself from entering Wancheng.

If you want to stop yourself and prevent yourself from entering Wancheng, then Tai Shici alone must not be able to do it. No matter how brave Tai Shi Ci is, after all, there is a huge disparity in the number of soldiers and horses, and the people he leads are all elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and if he really wants to enter the city, Tai Shi Ci can't stop himself. Then it seems that there is still an army that is either nearby or has not yet arrived.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan turned around and said: "Go and explore, I want to be clear about the movements within a radius of fifty miles, if there is any neglect, delay the military aircraft, and behead!" ”

However, it was said that Zhang Fei received the news from Xinye, so he said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, there is a letter from Ziyi, and Miaocai has already led troops south." He took the first step and went to the north to entangle Miaocai, so that I could quickly lead my troops north and help him. You are here to guard Xiangyang for me, and I will go. ”

Xu Shu bowed his hand and said: "The general will go by himself, I will keep Xiangyang fine!" ”

Zhang Fei ordered the elite soldiers, led the headquarters to ride thousands of horses first, and then rushed with the deputy general. Xiahou Yuan's spies over there reported from time to time, saying that there was no movement around. When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he was ruthless, and secretly said that since the Han army had not yet arrived, it was better to strike a blow and break the Han army, and then gather the troops, enter Wancheng first, and defend the city. Wancheng has sufficient grain and grass, the city defense is complete, and the Han army can help me?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiahou Yuan no longer hesitated, and transferred a reserve of 5,000 people to rush into the battle formation. As soon as this new force joined, it instantly broke the balance on the battlefield. Tai Shi Ci led the troops to rush left and right in the battle array, and the battle was covered in blood, the battle robes were soaked in blood, and the war horses were changed several times, but the reinforcements did not come for a long time. was anxious in his heart, and suddenly saw Cao Jun shouting again, shouting and killing, and the dust was all over the sky.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Yide mistook me!" "Yide, Yide, if you don't come again, I will have to retreat, I have broken so many armor soldiers in vain, but in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, I am unwilling!

Boundless disappointment turned into indignation, roared, and Tai Shici urged the war horse again and rushed into the Cao army. When Xiahou Yuan saw it, he ordered the left and right: "Taishi Ziyi is brave and unparalleled, quickly dive to the left and right, and shoot the strong crossbow!" ”

The crossbows of Qin and Han are unparalleled in the world. In the midst of a large army engagement, it is normal to use crossbows to plot against enemy generals. Back then, Li Ling shook more than 100,000 Huns with 5,000 foot soldiers, and once made people assassinate the Huns with crossbows, and almost succeeded.

This will make Xiahou Yuan also feel that Tai Shi Ci's lethality is too great, and he originally wanted to use someone to surround him to death, but after fighting for a long time, this guy is still alive and well, and Xiahou Yuan feels that he can't wait any longer, so he should kill him first.

Tai Shi Ci was fighting bloodily, but he didn't know that Xiahou Yuan was starting to plot against him desperately. The two armies were fighting with themselves, and suddenly Cao Ying scouts came and reported to Xiahou Yuan: "General, the big thing is not good, and another Han army is coming from the south." It is less than ten miles away from our army. ”

Xiahou Yuan's face suddenly sank: "Didn't you ask you to report at any time?" "My heart was so angry that I immediately wanted to pull a knife and cut people. The scouts spread out fifty miles, and the enemy came to report when they arrived, is this a joke for me?

The scout was covered in blood and looked aggrieved: "The enemy vanguard is full of cavalry, hunting and killing our scouts along the way, many brothers died tragically under the enemy's sabers, and I and a few others are also desperate to escape back." ”

Xiahou Yuan waved his hand, his eyes looked south, ten miles, at the speed of a cavalry, it was almost there, and he couldn't stay here for a long time.
