The battle for the annexation of the states between the Wu army and the Wei army has reached a very tragic point.

Since the Wei army took Taiyuan, it has been unforgiving, and it has gone all the way north, like a bamboo.

The blood wolf battalion of the Wu army was originally in a stage of recuperation, and its combat effectiveness was insufficient.

In the face of the strong attack of the Wei army, the Wu army, which was short of troops, could only retreat one after another.

The Wei army has now successfully advanced under the Yanmen Pass.

The Wu army was also forced to dispatch garrisons in Shuofang and Jiuyuan, all of which were concentrated around Yinguan City, with Yanmen Pass as a pass to defend Yinguan City.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Taking the entire Yanmen County, and then driving out all the main forces of the Wu army's Blood Wolf Army from the state, this is the strategic purpose of the Wei army.

And defending Yanmen County and keeping the northern territory of Bingzhou is the determination of the Wu army.

Both sides were determined to fight to the death, and the battle naturally became extremely tragic.

On December 1, Tian Feng commanded 30,000 soldiers to break through the original Pingcheng, tear open the defensive line of Yanmen County, and approached Yanmen Pass.

On December 3, the soldiers of a regiment of the Wu army were besieged and killed on the slope of Hualing Mountain on the western outskirts of Yinguan.

On December 6, 2,000 pioneers of the Wei army were sniped by the cavalry of a division of the Wu army on the plain west of Yanmen Pass.

On December 10, the Wu army broke through three tents of the Wei army, and the surprise attack was successful, delaying the Wei army's march.

On December 17, Wei Jun Tian Feng once again struck and took Mayi City on the northwest defense line of Yinguan City, and Yinguan became an isolated city.

The radius of Yinguan City and Yanmen Pass has become a bloody battlefield, and under the cold and white snow, it still can't wash away the blood of this gunsmoke.

The two armies came and went, and the bloody battles did not stop, but the Wei army relied on the tiger and leopard cavalry transferred from the north. always pressed Wu Jun and pressed Wu Jun to the death in Yanmen Pass and Yinguan City.

The Blood Wolf Army Battalion.

"We can't put the battle under the Yin Pavilion City, we must cut off the Wei army before this, once the Wei army completes the deployment of troops and the Yin Pavilion City is completely besieged, we will have no chance to fight back!"

The Blood Wolf Army Pang Tong looked at the generals of the Wu Army. The face is solemn.

During this time, the shortcomings exposed by his fight with Tian Feng were young after all, not as good as Tian Feng's old scheming, Taiyuan was defeated, his spirit was frustrated, Yuanping City was defeated again, and the gate of Yanmen County was opened.

As a result, the current situation, the Wu army can only passively take defense as an attack.

"Although the Wei army is pressing us, we can stop them with Yanmen Pass and Yinguan City. But what I'm most worried about now is Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride! ”

Huang Zhong's face was a little haggard, the Wei army's offensive was too strong, resulting in too much pressure on Youzhou, while worrying about Youzhou, he also had to suppress Bingzhou, after all, he was not young, and his heart was haggard.

"The Haw Par ride will be our biggest trouble!"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly, this force is strong. The pressure on him from the cavalry with strong combat effectiveness was too great.

"What did the Huns say?" Huang Zhong asked suddenly.

Now that the Wu army and the Xiongnu have formed an alliance, Huang Zhong naturally hopes to get reinforcements from Yu Huchuquan, the great order who now unifies the Xiongnu tribes.

"The Wei army is strong now. Liu Bao, who was originally beaten into a water dog, has naturally begun to counterattack now! ”

Pang Tong shook his head, sighed, and said: "Hu Chuquan himself is a little too busy to take care of himself, his ability is not as good as Liu Bao, we support him, he can still stabilize the Huns." Now that our troops have been transferred back, he can't even suppress the Hun tribe, how can we have troops to reinforce us! ”

"Looks like we're on our own!"

Huang Zhong stood up, his face resolute: "In this case, we will take the initiative." Before the Wei army encircles the Yin Pavilion, we have to take Guangwu! ”

Guangwu City is in the southeast, which is the only gap, and if the Wu army can take here, it will break the Wei army's encirclement strategy.

"General, why don't I personally lead the troops to fight Guangwu!"

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "Guangwu City must be beaten, but the Wei army will definitely not let us get our wish, I feel that Guangwu City is a trap, just the plan will be calculated!" ”

"Good!"

Huang Zhong nodded.

……

In the southwest direction of the Yin Pavilion, Lou Fu City, this is the front line of the Wei army to the north, facing the Yanmen Pass, where tens of thousands of Wei troops are gathered, staring at the Yanmen Pass from afar.

"Strategist, why are we delaying the encirclement?"

All the generals gathered in the camp, in the cold and swishing sound of the wind and snow, discussing the next strategic deployment, the main general Cao Hong looked at Tian Feng's arrangement, a little puzzled.

"Yanmen is not easy to fight!"

Tian Feng's eyes were solemn: "And the weather is too cold today to be suitable for a strong attack, so I didn't want to put the battlefield under the city gate, let go of the siege, just let them attack!" ”

"Strategist, how do you know that they will definitely come out!" A general asked.

"They don't have any choice at all!"

Tian Feng said confidently: "Because once our army completes the encirclement strategy of the Yin Pavilion, we can encircle them, and if they want to break my encirclement battle, they can only break the layout of Guangwu City, no matter what, the battle of Guangwu is inevitable!" ”

"That's great!"

Cao Hong suddenly smiled, and said: "In the direction of Guangwu, Zihe's tiger and leopard cavalry are already waiting for them, as long as we eat this force, we can capture Yanmen!" ”

"Let's hope the Haw Par ride won't let us down!"

Tian Feng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Once Guangwu is broken here, all our arrangements for Yanmen County will be destroyed, in case the Wu army takes advantage of this opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, the offensive and defensive positions between us will be reversed!" ”

The Wei army was able to force the Wu army to retreat step by step, relying on the fact that the Wu army was recuperating and recuperating, and did not recover its combat effectiveness, once the blood wolf army recovered its combat effectiveness, this battle would not be easy to fight.

"Report!" A herald's voice rang out outside the camp.

"Come in!"

Cao Hong's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Report to the general, the Haw Par Cavalry has withdrawn!" The herald came to report: "Two hours ago, the tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly moved south with the whole army and let go of Guangwu City!" ”

"What?"

When Cao Hong heard this, his expression was furious: "What's the matter with Cao Zihe, does he dare to go against the army's fate?" Where is he now, let him come to me at once! ”

The tiger and leopard ride is not under his control. But in today's battle situation, he is the main general, and the tiger and leopard cavalry put the defense line without authorization, which is tantamount to violating the military order.

"General, you dissipate your anger first, General Cao Chun should not be a person who does not understand military orders. There must be a reason why he suddenly withdrew from the army! Tian Feng stood up and said admonishingly.

"General, this is a military secret letter sent by General Cao Chun!"

At this time, another herald came in from outside.

"I'd like to see, what reason does he have for withdrawing his troops?"

Cao Hong directly tore open the envelope, opened it and looked at it, his face changed in shock. immediately folded the letter again, then waved his hand, and directly retreated from the generals: "Wait until you go out first, I have something important to discuss with the military advisor!" ”

"No!"

The generals were confused, but they still respected the military order and withdrew from the camp.

"General, what the hell is going on?" Tian Feng looked at Cao Hong, whose face was obviously a little panicked, and his brows furrowed.

"See for yourself!" Cao Hong's face was pale, and he handed the military secret letter in his hand to Tian Feng.

"Luoyang...... How is this possible? ”

Tian Feng was a little incredulous.

"I don't want to believe it. However, His Majesty's Qinwang order is absolutely true, and this matter must not be known to the officers and men in the army. Therefore, we have to find a reason for the tiger and leopard cavalry to retreat, and we must stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise this battle will be lost! ”

Cao Hong forcibly calmed down and said.

"Yes, the news that the Wu army hit Luoyang is too heartbreaking for the army, and it must be hidden!"

"Now, what's going on?"

"General. This battle can't be fought! Tian Feng also reacted quickly: "We take advance as retreat, let go of Guangwu City, fight a battle in the Yin Pavilion, and then quickly retreat to Taiyuan, and then the attack and defense will be replaced!" ”

"I'm not reconciled!"

"That can't be helped. Once the battle of Luoyang came, the morale of the army was immediately in turmoil, and it was too late for us to retreat! Tian Feng said firmly: "We must withdraw as soon as possible and stabilize Taiyuan!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Hong nodded: "I will gather the soldiers and horses immediately, don't give them time to react, start fighting overnight, first hit Yanmen, and then hit the Yin Pavilion, disturb their sight, you take the opportunity to retreat!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Liangzhou, Jicheng.

Cao Wei's black dragon battle flag flew high in the sky of Jicheng, and he went down to Jicheng without blood, and took the Liang army without a fight, and every Wei soldier was very excited.

However, in the main barracks of the Wei army, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

"This is my father's edict from King Qin, what do you think, what about a certain family?"

Cao Ang raised his head, looked at Guo Jia and Zhang Liao with a somewhat overwhelmed gaze, and asked.

He had just taken the Liang Kingdom and the entire Xiliang, but within a few days, what came from Luoyang was not a holy decree of reward, but an edict from King Qin, which was urgent for thousands of miles.

This edict was like a cold voice, which directly poured him into the cold.

"In today's weather, the road is closed by heavy snow, even if we lead the main force back, it will be too slow!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, his face was ugly, he calmed down, thought about it, and then said: "The only way is to use Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Ride!" ”

"No, Ma Chao just surrendered, in case he has a different heart and turns against him, won't the situation in the pass be even worse!" General Xu Huang immediately objected.

"Military Division, Liangguo has been broken by us, Ma Chao must have resentment in his heart, is this easy to use?" Cao Ang said in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, at a critical time, you must be bold in employing people!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Now Your Majesty's safety is the priority, we take Ma Chao as the main general, and Pang De as the deputy general, lead 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, return to Guanzhong first, we gather the remaining main cavalry force, and then return!" ”

"But?"

Cao Ang thought about it, and became a little indecisive.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhang Liao, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he said very directly: "I used to have the order of His Majesty and have the right to make temporary decisions, so from now on, all military orders of the army will be decided by me, and there shall be no objections!" ”

"No!"

Cao Ang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded, he knew this, although Zhang Liao looked very shameless, but this was the right that Cao Cao gave him, and he could only recognize it.

"Now, I order, Ma Chao is the main general, Pang De is the deputy general, lead 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, before dark, must pull out the camp, if there is disrespect, military law is ruthless! Pound, you go and tell Ma Chao that since he surrenders and respects the military order, don't let a certain person down, otherwise a certain family's butcher's knife will not make him feel better. ”

Zhang Liao was decisive in killing, and his words were categorical and unquestionable.

"No!"

Pound nodded, stood up, and strode out.

"Fengxiao, Pang De is a little soft-hearted, once Ma Chao really has any different intentions, he may not be able to see Ma Chao, you go with the army!"

Zhang Liao thought about it and added.

"Understood!" Guo Jia nodded.

"Xu Huang, Sima Yi!"

"In!"

"The two of you immediately gather all the cavalry now, and then march, and be sure to return to Guanzhong in the shortest possible time!"

"No!"

Zhang Liao stood up, his eyes were full of murder, and he said: "Wu thief is bold, attacking my Luoyang, deceiving people too much, since they are here, then don't leave!" (To be continued.) )
