Chapter 610: Zhuge Shang vs Cao Zhang
However, it was said that Cao Zhang led 20,000 cavalry to the area of Danhan Mountain.
Due to the shrinkage of Kebineng's troops, dozens of tribes, large and small, were established within a radius of 50 miles from Danhan Mountain, and with the assistance of Zhuge Zhan, these tribes secretly combined the way of the art of war, and could support each other and respond to each other.
Cao Zhang led his troops to arrive eighty miles south of Danhan Mountain, and because it was the base camp of Xianbei further forward, Cao Zhang could only temporarily set up camp first.
Cao Zhang has been in the army for many years, and although his ability to command troops is not as good as that of the top commanders of the Three Kingdoms, his ability to set up camp is very skillful.
Cao Zhang selected a river, set up camp on the south bank, ordered people to build three pontoon bridges on the river, and ordered a small part to camp at the pontoon bridge on the other side of the river to guard the pontoon bridge.
If Xianbei came to attack him, he had to cross the river, so that Cao Zhang would have the upper hand.
If Xianbei sneaks up, it also needs to bypass this river, Cao Zhang only needs to send scouts upstream and downstream, and once there is any situation, the scouts can report in advance, so as to ensure the safety of the camp.
After the camp was established, Cao Zhang summoned the generals and said to the generals: "The Xianbei people killed my Great Wei envoy and openly provoked my Great Wei Guowei. You go and prepare 3,000 cavalry, and when you have eaten and drunk enough in the evening, you and I will go with you to raid the Xianbei tribe. ”
"No!" There was no objection among the generals, and they all gave up their orders and went down to prepare.
In the evening, after Cao Zhang and the selected 3,000 cavalry had eaten and drunk enough, he led his troops north and launched an operation.
In a camp south of Danhan Mountain.
In the camp, Kobineng and the generals gathered together.
A Hu general looked at Zhuge Zhan and said: "Cao Zhang has already set up camp in the south, they are tired from marching, it is night now, they will definitely go to rest, how can they come to raid us?" ”
Zhuge Zhan smiled and said: "Cao Zhang, this person has a strong personality, strong competitiveness, and he has not sent troops to fight for several years, he was able to go out in the last battle of Tongguan, but he was seriously injured before he made meritorious service.
Now that we have finally led the army to march, we must not be able to bear it, so we will definitely send troops to raid tonight, we only need to prepare the battalions in the south, and we will have a harvest. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Cao Zhen doesn't come, we just spend some energy, and we don't lose anything. ”
Kebineng waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhuge is right, let's wait, if Cao Zhang really comes, he must be good-looking." ”
The time soon came late at night, and all the generals waited patiently in the camp.
"Kill!"
"Kill me!"
Suddenly, there was a fierce shout of killing from the south.
A general immediately stood up when he heard the shouting of killing: "It's really a god, Cao Zhang is really here." ”
Kebineng also stood up and ordered to His Royal Highness's generals: "You quickly return to the camps you are responsible for, lead the soldiers and horses in the camp, surround Cao Zhang, and make sure that he does not return." ”
"No!" The generals did not need to say more, and left the main tent one after another and returned to their respective camps.
Zhuge Shang also stood up, picked up the spear on the weapon rack, and said to Zhuge Zhan and Ke Bineng: "Shan Yu, eldest brother, they all say that Cao Zhang is fierce, I will meet him to see if he is really as powerful as the legend." ”
Zhuge Shang said that, and left the camp with a gun.
"Brother, be careful!"
"Brother Zhuge must be careful!"
The two hurriedly chased out of the camp, Zhuge Shang had already turned over on his horse at this moment, responded to the two of them, and rode his horse in the direction of shouting and killing.
"Brothers, kill me, if no one brings me a Hu man's dog head back tonight, don't blame me for military justice. If you kill too much, you will be rewarded! ”
Cao Zhang had already led his three thousand iron horsemen into a camp in Xianbei at this moment, and he took the lead, and the spear in his hand had already harvested the lives of several Xianbei warriors.
"Kill me!"
"Kill the dog!"
Under the encouragement of Cao Zhang, the morale of the Wei army was like a rainbow, and the three thousand cavalry were invincible, killing the Xianbei people in all directions, embarrassed.
"Where is Cao Zhang, dare to come out and fight me?"
"Where is Cao Zhang, dare to come out and fight me?"
Cao Zhang's killing was rising, and he suddenly heard a voice in front of him, but he was looking for himself.
When Cao Zhang heard this, he immediately urged him to step forward and shouted: "Your grandfather is here, I didn't expect everyone to be afraid of me like a tiger, and there are people who are not afraid of you." You have such courage, you are also a hero, report your name, I will not kill the unknown under the gun. ”
Zhuge Shang was not to be outdone, and scolded: "I am your grandfather Zhuge Shang is also!" ”
Previously, Cao Zhang was far away from Zhuge Shang, and there was a murmur, and he didn't tell that Zhuge Shang was a teenager, but now it was so close, when he heard Zhuge Shang's voice, he knew that Zhuge Shang was not very old.
Cao Zhang suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said: "It turned out to be a hairy boy, it's really a disappointment, no matter what your name is Zhuge Shang or Zhuge Liang, grandpa has no interest in killing you, get out of here." ”
"Ann dared to insult my father." When Zhuge Shang heard this, he was furious, and with a spear in his hand, he shook a spear and stabbed at Cao Zhang's door.
The spear was in Zhuge Shang's hand, like a silver snake, as fast as the wind, and the two exchanged more than a dozen guns in an instant.
Cao Zhangyi swung several shots in a row to block Zhuge Shang's attack, and said with surprise: "Seven Snake Exploration Plates, who are you Zhao Yun?" ”
"My teacher's name is also what you can call directly!" Zhuge Shang snorted coldly and stabbed him again.
"It turned out to be Zhuge Liang's son, Zhao Yun's apprentice, let me meet you today, you won't be able to run!" Hearing this, Cao Zhang was immediately overjoyed, his arm suddenly increased his strength, changed his previous defensive posture, and launched a fierce attack on Zhuge Shang.
"I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" Zhuge Shang raised his eyebrows and concentrated on defense.
The two fought dozens of moves on the horse, fighting you back and forth, and the fight was very happy.
To tell the truth, Cao Zhang's power at the moment is actually stronger than Zhuge Shang, after all, Zhuge Shang is only eighteen years old, and his strength and experience are not enough for Cao Zhang.
However, because it was night, the two were fighting each other immediately, not taking a hedging round, so Zhuge Shang was able to draw with Cao Zhang.
Because of the tactics of the hedging round, there are high requirements for strength and experience, two people test each other, choose to attack or defend at the moment when the war horse hedges and lives, and if you are not careful, you will die.
However, the Horse Fight is different, because there is no acceleration of the War Horse, the move is much simpler than the Hedging Turn, and not as dangerous as the latter. Zhuge Shang studied under Zhao Yun, learned the hundred birds and the phoenix and the seven snake plates, and the marksmanship was varied.
