In the midst of the great earthquake, 30,000 cavalry swept into the wind and stepped on the snow.

Huang Zhong, the general of the Qin army, came from the direction of Huaxian.

Wei Yan, the general of the Qin army, came from the Qinling mountain road.

Gao Shun, the general of the Qin army, killed from the dense forest by the Weishui.

When the three armies converged, they immediately surrounded the combined forces of the Cao army and the Qiang soldiers at the junction.

Cao Bing, who was marching in frustration, was also a little energetic in his heart and gall, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped, scurrying around.

"Don't be confused, be calm, be calm!" Officers of various units of Cao's army shouted loudly.

Xiahou Yuan saw that he was surrounded, surrounded by the Qin army, and his face turned green in fright. The soldiers and horses he led had not eaten for a day in order to speed up the retreat, and at this moment they were surrounded by the Qin army, and they were powerless to fight back. Xiahou Yuan immediately shouted: "Only break through to the southeast, Cao Hong, quickly send a messenger to report to the Lord of Chang'an and Brother Xiahou of Tongguan to seek support." ”

However, more than 10,000 Cao soldiers who were cold and starved were the opponents of the elite iron cavalry of the Qin army.

Wei Yan, who fought from the Qinling Mountains, immediately lined up and blocked the route of Cao's army's breakthrough.

Wei Yan took the lead, and the war horse under his crotch was majestic, breaking away from his own battle formation and galloping into the enemy's formation. He is also a general, but he is not very prominent under the command of the fierce King Qin. In order to be able to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he was named Hou Yinzi, rose up in the heavy snow, held the Kunwu cold light blade and tore more than ten Cao Jun people, and suddenly flew to Cao Hong, and shouted angrily: "I am Wei Yan, the "Yiyang" under the command of King Qin, Cao Hong's child, suffer death!" ”

The sound was like a bell, and the three armies were shocked.

Before the words fell, the cold light blade in his hand really turned into cold light. Cut straight to Cao Hong's head.

Cao Hong was taken aback and hurriedly raised his knife to parry.

Just listen to a loud bang. Wei Yan, who was raised up, flew out of the horse with a knife.

"Cao Hong!" Xiahou Yuan only thought that Cao Hong was finished, and his eyes were red. Riding a horse and wielding a sword to fight Wei Yan.

Wei Yan slashed Cao Hong with a knife, and the momentum was victorious, and the snowflakes in all directions that laughed and shook scattered, and the Cao soldiers retreated in fright. I saw him turn his horse to meet Xiahou Yuan, and the cold light blade in his hand waved into the wind, and shouted: "Today, let you and others know the means of my Wei Wenchang!" ”

Everywhere you go. Cao Jun was all beheaded, and with a burst of blood mist, he swung his knife and took Xiahou Yuan directly.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were red, and he raised his sword to greet him.

When Dangdang ......, it was only three rounds, and Xiahou Yuan's limbs trembled and he lost the upper hand.

Just when the soldiers of the Cao army mustered up their courage and rushed up to besiege and kill Wei Yan. In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the 10,000 elite horsemen led by Wei Yan fell into battle. Immediately they were annihilated.

Herod ......, the vanguard of the trapped cavalry, did not shoot at all, but only a war horse in armor. He knocked down the vanguard of Cao's army. Then the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand was waved wantonly, bringing up pieces of blood clouds.

The blood cloud rained down on the blood, and immediately stained the land red. Even the snow falling in the sky has turned red before it hits the ground.

"Wow!"

"Ahh

"Help. Help! ”

The Cao army no longer had the pride of besieging the Qin army when Fenglin crossed, and the stumps and broken arms around him were flying. One by one, the corpses fell to the ground, and those who survived by luck immediately threw their weapons and fled in all directions.

At this point, Wei Yanbu, who only attacked first, killed 15,000 Cao soldiers in chaos.

"Xiahou Yuan, kill you today, let the world know my Wei Yan's methods!"

Wei Yan completely suppressed Xiahou Yuan, and the knife did not leave the back of his head.

Xiahou Yuan struggled to support.

"Go away, go away!" Wei Yan waved his weapon and kept shouting to stop the soldiers under his leadership from besieging him.

Xiahou Yuan was able to survive because of this.

I saw that Wei Yan found a flaw, and the Kunwu Cold Light Blade in his hand hit Xiahou Yuan's throat at a strange angle.

Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly lay on his horseback to dodge.

Who knew that Wei Yan picked it up, and when there was a loud sound, he flew away with Xiahou Yuan's spear across his chest.

At this point, Xiahou Yuan had no weapons and retreated.

"Xiahou Yuan, go die!" Wei Yanzheng was saying that he would launch a fatal blow, when he suddenly heard the wind behind him.

"General be careful!" The surrounding soldiers hurriedly reminded.

Wei Yan bent down to dodge, and a big knife slashed through the back of his head. His neck was cold, he was clever, and hurriedly turned around to look, it turned out that it was Cao Hong who got back on his horse and brought dozens of elite cavalry guards to save Xiahou Yuan.

"Zilian, you're not dead!" Xiahou Yuan shouted.

Cao Hong shot from behind, forced Wei Yan back, and shouted, "Miaocai, go quickly!" ”

So, the two joined together, mustered the courage of the generals, and fought hard to open a bloody road.

When Wei Yan set his horse, he couldn't catch up. So, all the anger was vented on Cao Bing's head. led the team to kill and kill, and the remaining Cao soldiers who were directly killed disarmed and surrendered.

Wei Yanshun beheaded the three people and shouted: "Avenge my tens of thousands of soldiers, not surrendered, killed!" ”

"Kill!" All the soldiers shouted together.

In just a few breaths, Cao's army of 15,000 people fell forever in the heavy snow.

On the other hand, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun saw that Wei Yan had already occupied the right advantage, and they invariably began to encircle and suppress the Qiang cavalry.

At this time last year, in a snowstorm, Cao Cao enlisted the Qiang people to send grain and grass. The Qiang people owe him a favor for this, and they came to pay it back this year.

But human favor is human favor, and in today's situation, Midang will never send his life here.

So, "Return to the Horde, break through the siege, and kill!" "As soon as he was confused, he gave the order to retreat.

The Qiang soldiers were full cavalry, with 20,000 men, which was equivalent to the cavalry led by Huang Zhong and Gao Shun.

So it was not like Cao Bing, who collapsed at the first touch.

Instead, it broke out the bloody nature of the Northwest Nation, rushed to kill, and after throwing the corpses of thousands of people, he killed a bloody road and looked to the north. The land of the far north, farther north of Wuwei, is the gathering place of their tribe. It used to be the headquarters of the Han Dynasty, but since the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is nothing left.

Huang Zhong and Gao Shun naturally couldn't let the Qiang people escape, and chased and killed them all the way.

At the beginning, the Qin army's forward team was constantly entangled with the Qiang rear team, but after dark, the speed of the two sides slowed down, and there was an accident and they disengaged together.

Somewhat relieved, he calculated the distance, and by dawn he would be able to leave the mountain road and enter the open field. He did not believe that anyone could be in the endless wilderness. Catch up with the Qiang cavalry.

However, what he didn't know was. Before dawn, he would enter Qin Feng's pocket array.

In this daytime battle, Cao's 15,000 soldiers were annihilated, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong were almost beheaded by Wei Yan alone, and the Qiang people also retreated.

The news flew to Chang'an.

State Pastoral Mansion, Council Chamber.

Cao Cao sat in the hall, draped in a large hat, and tied a strip of white cloth on his head after his illness. His right elbow rests on the table, and his right hand covers his forehead. Left eye slit. His right eye was wide open, and he looked at the battle report in front of him in a slight twitch, his face was gloomy and terrifying. The Qin Feng people he killed in Fengling some time ago turned on their backs and were very happy. However, after the snow, there were successive defeats, and the wind and snow were combined, and the queen of joy and anger felt the wind and cold.

Several pots of charcoal in the hall were warm in the baking, but all the civil and military people in the hall were cold.

After a long time, Cao Cao's voice seemed to come from hell. Revealing a bloody slaughter, "You guys, what can you do to break the enemy?" ”

The wisest thing in the hall is full of favors, but in his opinion. Now there is no way to break the enemy. It was only because the opponent was too strong, and after the successful landing battle, the defense line was completely broken. Seeing that Tongguan and Chang'an were cut into two sections.

Ranman looked at Cao Cao's appearance, and he was scared and didn't dare to say it.

After a while. Cao Cao saw that no one answered him, and finally became angry. got up and threw the big one, pulled the strip of white cloth on his forehead, and roared: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots, what do I want you to do!" "What do you want?" ”

Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying in their hearts that if Qin Zi hadn't come in and made an ice cream city wall, I am afraid that the victory could be celebrated now, which is really unpredictable.

Full of favor inevitably affected his own pond fish, and hurriedly said: "Lord, every qiē is Qin Zijin who has set up a big village, and I heard that he got a plan from the female historian He Xianying. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he became even more angry, and thought viciously in his heart: "Qin Zijin, this despicable and shameless guy, knows how to enjoy it, he must have come up with a plan when he hugged that Xianying at night." Yes, the two of them must have froze to death in the bed, so they came up with it. ”

However, he roared: "What do you mean, we big men can't even compare to a woman?" ”

"No, no, no......." Full of pets was startled, and said in his heart Where do I mean this, lord, you love to think blindly. He suddenly sweated, and said in a panic: "I heard that this woman is smart and talented, and she is the first-rate person among the women of the past dynasties." Only then was he recruited as a historian and began to take charge of the iron pen and write a record of the life of the King of Qin. ”

"King!" This is Cao Cao's lifelong dream, but it was realized by Qin Feng, "If there is no Qin Zijin, with Yuan Shao's lame goods, now I can also take charge of the land of Kyushu!" When he thought of this, he had a murderous intent to praise the full favor of the historian of the King of Qin.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Man Zhong couldn't help but look up, and suddenly his heart fell into the valley with Cao Cao's murderous appearance.

Fortunately, at this time, a guard came in and reported, "Lord, Cheng Yu's military division is back!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Quickly let him come to see me!" ”

Cheng Yu is also a rare strategist, who is relied on by Cao Cao.

When he came in, Cao Cao immediately clarified the current form and asked, "Does Zhongde have a good plan?" ”

Cheng Yu saw that everyone in the hall knelt down and didn't dare to get up, pondered for a while, and also lost his heart, "Lord, Liu Bei's reinforcements are about to arrive in Hanzhong, and after converging with Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, the 70,000 army will be able to pass through Chencang in less than half a month, and go to Chang'an through Wuzhangyuan." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was somewhat overjoyed and said, "That's really good!" ”

Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With these 70,000 people joining, and there is support from the Qiang people. And Qin Feng also lost troops in Tongguan and Fenglingdu, and his troops have become the end of a strong crossbow. ”

Cao Cao was a person who became more and more courageous, so later generations would laugh again and again when they were defeated and fled in Gunzhou and Chibi, leaving an allusion to the three laughs leading the pursuers.

He is not afraid of losing his troops and defeating, but he is most afraid of losing the foundation of his foothold. Now that he has calculated the military strength of both sides, he has the Xiongcheng Chang'an in front and strong reinforcements behind, so he feels that his territory can be kept, and he is more happy.

Cao Cao's tone began to relax, and he sat down again and said, "Zhongde, you didn't get to the point. In addition, Midang has already retreated, and the news says that he is retreating north, apparently going back. ”

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's anger went down, so he said: "The reinforcements are about to arrive, and the lord doesn't have to fight for a long time." You can abandon the defense of Tongguan, mobilize Tongguan soldiers and horses to defend, and gather the garrison sources of Tianshui and other counties. The whole army garrisoned Chang'an, and fought to the death with Qin Feng under the city of Chang'an. ”

"If Qin Feng is defeated, the coalition army will enter the Central Plains in one go and carve up the land of Kyushu!" Cheng Yu finally finished speaking in a heavy tone, and said: "As for the Qiang people, you can send someone to intercept Mi Dang and promise a heavy reward, and he will definitely return with his troops." ”

"Hahahaha......." Cao Cao laughed and said: "Zhongde is strategic, and he can make big decisions!" Let Qin Zi come in under the city of Chang'an, and let his army die in this snow. Flying snow is white, and it also saves me money to buy paper for Qin Zijin. ”

Cheng Yu said: "What the lord said is very true, the transportation of grain and grass in winter is not smooth. The Qin army turned out to be unable to last, and when the time came, it would pursue it to the end. He suddenly said: "Guo Jiajunshi happens to be in Tongguan, and you can also ask for his opinion on the matter of retiring the army." ”

So, Cao Cao sent someone to Tongguan overnight to send an order to Guo Jia, if Guo Jia also agreed to this matter, then immediately withdraw the army. On the other hand, Cao Cao sent envoys overnight to intercept the midang who retreated north.

Fast horses gallop on snowy nights.

And to the north of Tongguan, Cao Cao's other strong reinforcement has entered Qin Feng's pocket array. (To be continued......)
