Chapter 284: Fiction and Reality (Plus Change, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
In fact, long before Meng Dada, Wei Feng and Ma Jian arrived. When Meng Da began to attack, Wei Feng also wanted to work together to resolve the battle as soon as possible. After all, this is on the enemy's territory, and if you delay a little longer, you will be more dangerous, and a quick victory is the best policy. But Ma Tan stopped him. Ma Tan said that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. If you rush out now, the Wei army will still have a chance to react, and they will shrink their defense and hold on for reinforcements. The trapped beast is still fighting, even if the strong attack is successful, the casualties are bound to be not small. It's better to let Meng Da attack first, he has 10,000 people, Hu Zhen will definitely arrange heavy troops on his side, the rear camp is naturally empty, and when the time comes, we will definitely be able to kill it in one blow.
Wei Feng was originally a little unimpressed, but now his blood is boiling, and he wants to kill happily, feeling that Ma Yan's method of battle is not happy. However, Ma Jian was arranged by Wei Ba, and although he was not happy, he still listened to Ma Tan's suggestion.
The situation is as Ma Jian analyzed, in the face of Meng Da's onslaught, Hu Zhen arranged most of the troops to the front battalion, as long as the rear battalion left some vigilant troops. In the face of the Shu army that suddenly came out, they had no resistance at all, and they were stupid just when they saw those enemies swarming out of the mountains and forests.
With almost no effort, Wei Feng entered Hu Zhen's camp and killed Hu Zhen's back.
In the darkness, the Wei army could not see how many enemies there were, only that as far as the eye could see, there were enemies everywhere, and the number of them was far above their own. Encountering an ambush and being flanked from front to back, these Wei troops soon lost the courage to fight and laid down their arms and surrendered.
Hu Zhen saw that the general trend had gone, and wanted to break through with the pro-guard battalion, but unfortunately his reaction was still too slow. Wei Feng quickly entered with his soldiers, rushed to Hu Zhen in one go, grabbed in front of Deng Xian, and cut off Hu Zhen's head with one sword.
Deng Xian screamed angrily and cut off a small tree next to him with a knife. Still puzzled, he rushed up and kicked his feet twice. With a "click", the small tree broke off at the waist.
"Ziyi!" Meng Da walked over quickly. As soon as he saw Hu Zhen's body lying in a pool of blood, he sighed with some regret, and then said to Wei Feng with a smile on his face: "Zirou, you are worthy of being the son of the general of Zhenbei." The tiger father has no dogs. ”
Wei Feng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled.
"Join the army and use me as a swordman. This bad idea was your godson, right? Meng Da said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Ma Tan haha smiled: "General Meng, if we change positions, I'm afraid you will attack later." ”
Meng Da couldn't help but smile, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad." When you march and fight, you should fight how you can take advantage of it. He patted Wei Feng on the shoulder: "This." You have to learn from Ma and your disciple Yu. ”
Wei Feng smiled innocently.
"Zirou, this credit is yours, borrow it from me?"
Wei Feng hesitated for a moment, but still handed over Hu Zhi's bloody head. Meng Da took it in his hand and turned around and handed it to Deng Xian. Then he put away his smile: "Zimao, join the army, without further ado, as soon as the day dawns, there will be more scouts in the Wei army, so you better withdraw while it is dark." I'll leave it to me to clean up. ”
"Then there will be General Law." Ma Yan didn't say much, and quickly retreated with Wei Feng. In Wei Ba's Jihua, they attacked the Fancheng area together with Meng Da. Meng Da is bright, they are dark, and they cooperate with each other, just to make the Wei army confused about the situation, create a mysterious effect, and cause panic in the Wei army, so as to induce them to send heavy troops to come. Once exposed, not only will their situation be very dangerous, but the effect will be much worse.
After Wei Feng retreated, Meng Da began to clean up the battlefield, and all the baggage brought by Hu Zhen became his trophies, with more than a thousand prisoners and nearly a thousand wounded. Meng Da escorted them and returned to Fancheng, and at the same time sent Deng Xian to take the seal ribbon of Hu and go straight to Dunse.
The defenders of Fancheng have been trembling. Meng Da left the city, and then, in the middle of the night, a big battle broke out in the mountains and forests east of the city. Without thinking too much, he could guess what Meng Da was doing. But he didn't dare to go out of the city, he didn't know if the Shu army was luring him out of the city with a trick, plus he believed that with Hu Qian's ability, he should be able to hold out until dawn. It is obviously safer to act after dawn than to act in the dark.
But he never expected that when the day finally lit up, Meng Da actually returned to Fancheng, and compared to when he left last night, his team seemed to be growing again.
When Meng Da pushed the captives to the front of the battle, threw Hu Zhen's battle flag in front of the battle, and sent Hu Zhen's head to the city, the Wei soldiers in Fancheng were stunned.
More than 10,000 people, besieging more than 3,000 people, the advantage is naturally needless to say. However, in just half of the night, he won a big victory, almost killing 3,000 people in one go, which was still beyond many people's expectations. The Wei army had a new understanding of the 10,000 Shu army outside the city and Meng Da's ability to charge.
Fancheng was north of the Han River, mainly as a backup for Xiangyang, and was not very strong. It is precisely because of this that in the twenty-fourth year of its construction, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition adopted the tactics of encircling Xiangyang and attacking Fancheng. Of course, there are advantages to doing this, Guan Yu has a water master, he can cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng, once Fancheng is breached, Xiangyang will become a lonely city, and it is natural to fall. However, it was also very risky for him to do so, first, the siege of Xiangyang required troops, which increased the difficulty for him who was not very strong in the first place. The second is that Cao Ren saw through his intentions, and asked Lu Chang to guard Xiangyang, personally sit in Fancheng, fight to the death and not retreat, and let Guan Yu's quick battle Jihua be postponed indefinitely. Although Guan Yu later defeated Yu Ban, he was unable to conquer Fancheng due to insufficient troops, and finally dragged the war to an unfavorable point.
Later, Shu Han reflected that if he had not attacked Fancheng first, but after cutting off the Han River, he would have attacked Xiangyang first, and the situation might have been safer. But these are all aftersights and don't help.
Wei Ba asked Meng Da and Wei Feng to attack Fancheng, which seemed to be similar to Guan Yu's strategy back then, but the fundamental difference between them was that Wei Ba just wanted to make a shortcut look like he wanted to take a shortcut, and his goal was to give Cao Wei the biggest shock in a short period of time and make them nervous. Whether Zuihou can capture Fancheng or not doesn't matter much.
The pontoon bridge over the Han River has not yet been broken, and the defenders of Xiangyang can still support, although the soldiers of Fancheng are nervous, but they have not yet reached the point of surrendering, they only sent a signal to Xiangyang and the sailors for help. and sent the news of Hu Zhen's killing to Xinye and reported it to the hussar general Sima Yi.
Meng Da's prestige quickly spread to the ears of every nearby Wei army general with these military reports. Although these people despise Mengda's character. But they didn't dare to underestimate Meng Da, after all, Meng Da's record was real, he captured Fangling that year, and later repelled the hussar general. All proved the level of his accusations, and this time he wiped out Hu Zhen's 3,000 reinforcements at a lightning speed, which made people secretly vigilant.
In Mengda and Wei Feng cooperate with each other. After another rush and a reinforcement of nearly 10,000 people was severely damaged, the Wei generals took cautious measures. Before the order of the hussar general was given, no one dared to get too close to Fancheng.
……
Xinye, the big tent of the hussar general Sima Yi.
Sima Yi held his hands and stood motionless in front of the map. Sima Shi stood behind him. poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sima Yi with both hands: "Father, take a sip of wine and moisten your throat." ”
"Hmm." Sima Yi took the cup, but his eyes were not staring at the map. He took a sip of wine: "Ziyuan, what do you think Wei Ba is up to?" Suddenly attacking Fancheng, this is a bit unreasonable. ”
"I think attacking Fancheng is virtual, and attacking Xiangyang is real." Sima Shi said unhurriedly.
"You mean to say that he is responsible for intercepting our army's reinforcements, and Sun Quan is responsible for attacking Xiangyang?"
Sima Shi nodded.
"It sounds reasonable, but it doesn't fit Wei Ba's character." Sima Yi shook his head and disagreed with Sima Shi's opinion: "Wei Ba is not the kind of person who is willing to help others. I think he has other plans. ”
Sima Shi hesitated for a moment: "Father, then what you say about Wei Ba's reality, will it be in Nanxiang?" He walked to the map, pointed to the guide township, and then drew to the vicinity of Wuguan: "He has attracted our attention to Fancheng, and may use the Wu people to drag us down, but he and Deng Zhi have joined forces to capture Wuguan?" ”
"It's possible." Sima Yi stroked his beard, his eyes shrunk: "I just can't figure out what he uses to deal with my sailor who stayed in Nanxiang." Without the Sailor, he would not have been able to attack Nanxiang at all. ”
Sima Shi couldn't understand it either. Wei Ba didn't have any warships, there was no doubt about it. Shipbuilding is not about building a few thunderbolts, it requires huge manpower and material resources. Although the warships transformed by Wei Ba are more powerful, these jishu are now in the hands of the Wei army. Wei Ba may have one or two new warships, but the Wei army has nearly ten, even if it is arranged to monitor the Zhuyang Shu army, there are four. In terms of sailors, the Wei army had sufficient advantages.
If Wei Ba couldn't defeat the Wei army's sailors, then how could he attack Nanxiang County, and how could he and Deng Zhi attack Wuguan? These are unsolvable difficulties.
With more new warships than Wei Ba, the strength of the Wei army's naval division has increased greatly, and even in the face of the Wu army, which has always had an absolute advantage in water warfare, they also have the strength of a battle. But when he thought that these strengths were all obtained because of Xiahou Hui, Sima Shi's heart was very uncomfortable.
Xiahou Hui was originally his unmarried wife, but now he has become Wei Ba's woman, which is a shame that he can't avoid. It has nothing to do with Wei and Shu, it is purely a personal enmity between him and Wei Ba.
Just when Sima Shi was thinking about his thoughts, someone came to report that the entire army of Hu Zhen of Jingzhou Assassin Shi was annihilated, Hu Zhen himself was beheaded, and Deng Sai was immediately lost and fell into the control of Meng Da.
Sima Yi was taken aback and blurted out: "How many people are there in Mengda?" ”
Sima Shi was also stunned, and said for a long time: "It can't be that Wei Ba himself has also arrived in Fancheng, right?" Could it be that he ......" He and Sima Yi glanced at each other: "Could it be that he really wants to take Fancheng?" ”
