Chapter 539: The decisive battle is coming
At this time, Cao Rui invited Bu Dugen to enter the Kou Pass, and his intention must be to persuade Cao Zhen to withdraw from the army, and there is no other possibility.
Although Sima Yi was transferred to Luoyang by Cao Rui, his talent is at most similar to Zhuge Liang, and there are many capable people on the Han side, and the situation in Guanzhong is so erosive, even if Sima Yi is the commander, what way can he turn defeat into victory?
Liu Chan groaned: "My hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are all in Guanzhong, although there are still cavalry in Liangzhou, but if they are transferred, the grain and grass will be stretched thin, and the supply will not be available, this Sima Yi is accurate." ”
Ma Chao was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Bu Dugen led the cavalry to burn and loot in Xinping, the northland, and he must lead the troops to pacify as soon as possible, and it has to be cavalry, if he sends infantry, he will not be able to deal with Hu Cai."
It's just that if you bring cavalry to deal with Budugen, Cao Zhen leads his troops to retreat, our army has no cavalry, but it is a little difficult to deal with, and in Chang'an City, there are still 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and I will fall into a disadvantage at that time. ”
Liu Chan sneered when he heard this: "Sima Yi thinks that if I send out the cavalry, Cao Zhen will be able to retreat safely, how can it be so simple!" Meng Qi, you immediately lead 8,000 cavalry to deal with Budugen, leaving 1,000 heavy cavalry and 1,000 armored cavalry. ”
At the beginning, Guan Yu led 5,000 cavalry to seize Wuguan, but now these cavalry have been transferred with the infantry, and now they are stationed in Wuguan are foot soldiers, and the cavalry has returned to Chang'an, so now there are 10,000 cavalry on the Chang'an side.
The reason why the cavalry was sent to seize Wuguan was to seize the time, but after taking it, it was not suitable to put the cavalry in Wuguan.
Ma Chao gave his hand to the order: "No! ”
Liu Chan said to Zhuge Liang again: "Da Sima, gather all the generals and go to the Chang'an camp to discuss matters." ”
"No!"
Subsequently, Liu Chan led the generals to the Han army camp outside Chang'an City.
When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army outside the east gate, the generals had already arrived and were waiting in the tent.
Liu Chan looked at Wang Ping and asked, "During this time, how many weapons have you been ordered to build?" ”
Wang Ping arched his hand and said: "In more than a month, the last general has been ordered to build 20,000 pairs!" ”
Liu Chan nodded and said, "Show it to me!" ”
"No!"
But after a while, Wang Ping brought the things over.
This is a pair of bows, but unlike ordinary bows, it is more like a crossbow, the bow is three feet three feet long, and the string is two feet five, but it is not a bow and arrow, but like a crossbow, it is loaded and fired with a machine.
This is the Divine Arm Bow, which is extremely powerful, capable of shooting up to 340 paces, and has an effective range of 240 paces, which can penetrate half of the elm, which is much more powerful than the bow and arrow, but can be easily controlled by a single person.
Liu Chan took the bow of the divine arm and instructed Wang Ping: "Take a fan of pork and hang it three hundred steps away, put a fish scale armor on the pork, and try how powerful it is!" ”
"No!"
However, after a while, Wang Ping ordered someone to carry a pork fan over and put a layer of fish scale armor on the pork.
Fish scale armor is like fish scales, composed of pieces of iron, is an armor hooked together with ropes, can be expanded and contracted, the degree of freedom is very high, and the defensive performance is also good, generally only high-ranking generals are qualified to wear.
A general who didn't understand the power of the Divine Arm Bow said: "Three hundred steps, even a stone bow can't shoot that far." This bow doesn't look like it's bigger than an ordinary bow, and it has the strength to shoot 300 paces? ”
Wang Ping explained: "This bow can shoot about 350 steps at most, and if you have good eyesight, you can shoot 240 steps. His Majesty's eyesight is unmatched, and three hundred steps must not be a problem. ”
While the generals were talking, Liu Chan had already taken aim, let go of Ji Huang, and only listened to the chirp, and the arrows came out in response, but three hundred steps were too far, and the generals didn't know whether they shot or not.
The soldier on the opposite side carried the pork over, only to see that the arrow had pierced through the fish scale armor and completely shot through the three-inch thick pork.
Of course, the arrow did not pierce the iron piece of the fish scale armor, but there was a scratch on the iron piece next to the arrow shaft, but after the arrow hit the iron piece, the force did not decrease, and it passed through the gap.
If an arrow is fired by a normal bow, it will fall when it hits a piece of iron, but the power of the Divine Arm Bow is so strong that it does not fall, but passes through the gap.
"Good boy, such a great power, if it shoots at someone, will it be enough?"
"I'm afraid that even a wooden shield can easily penetrate it!"
"Not bad!" Liu Chan returned the Divine Arm Bow to Wang Ping and instructed: "Select 20,000 good shooters in the army and practice the Divine Arm Bow, which will come in handy soon!" ”
"No!" Wang Ping gave up his hand.
Subsequently, Liu Chan and the others returned to the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Chan said to the generals: "Bu Dugen led 20,000 cavalry into the Kou Pass, this must be Cao Rui's request, the intention is to force me to send cavalry to deal with Bu Dugen, so that Cao Zhen can withdraw his troops."
The Xianbei people burned and looted in Guanzhong, and the people had been killed and wounded by thousands, and I had sent Ma Chao to lead the army to pacify. Therefore, it will not be long before Cao Zhen will withdraw his troops. At that time, our army and the Wei army will have a big battle to fight.
Therefore, the construction of the city should be put aside, and the materials and cement should not be made first, so that the soldiers can train well and move their muscles and bones. ”
The generals gave their hands to the order: "No! ”
Zhang Fei said with great interest: "What about the transfer of cavalry, our army here adds up, there are still 110,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Zhen is not our opponent." When the time comes, I will definitely poke Cao Zhen'er into a few transparent holes. ”
"It's just that we've been sending troops for so long, and we haven't really fought a battle with the Wei army."
"The soldiers' knives are almost rusty, and they can finally fight."
Seeing that the morale of the generals was high, Liu Chan was very satisfied, and advised: "Although the number of our army is larger, you still can't be careless. ”
"No!"
After the generals left, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty took out the Divine Arm Bow and asked 20,000 people to learn the Divine Arm Bow because he wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army." ”
Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "Yes, Cao Zhen wants to withdraw from Guanzhong unharmed, it's not that simple!" ”
Zhuge Liang asked, "Then I don't know how Your Majesty plans to fight?" ”
Liu Chan asked rhetorically: "What does Da Sima think he should do?" ”
Zhuge Liang muttered: "Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses are all in Chang'an City, and there are earth mountains all around the city, and the Wei army occupies a favorable location, if our army fights him near Chang'an, it will be quite unfavorable."
Tongguan is bordered by Huashan in the south and the Yellow River in the north, although Tongguan is built in the narrowest place. But west of Tongguan, towards Chang'an, the road is still narrow.
Our army can send troops and horses to line up west of Tongguan in advance, and on the Chang'an side, first let Cao Zhen pass, and then attack Cao Zhen in front and back. The front army shot it with the advantage of the bow of the divine arm, and the rear army rushed with armor and cavalry, but Cao Zhen could be defeated.
It's just that Sima Yi arrived in Luoyang, and Cao Rui should send Sima Yi to Tongguan to pick up Cao Zhen. This person is scheming, Huang Zhengyang has to guard against it. ”
Liu Chan nodded: "Well, the idea of love coincides with me, so I will send someone to inform Zhengyang and ask him to be cautious and vigilant." ”
