Chapter 789: Cao Cao's fiasco
On the plain in front of Hangu Pass, wolf smoke is filled.
Looking down from the sky, countless dots gather and scatter, gradually scattered over the endless field. It was hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops fleeing frantically, while the Qin army's 70,000 iron cavalry pursued the scattered enemy.
In this case, Qin Feng and Cao Cao, a pair of former friends and now rivals, met on the battlefield.
No one expected that Cao Cao, who was completely defeated after the scheme, would shout at the critical juncture to save me!
This voice came out, almost knocking all the people who followed him off the horse.
"Zijin!"
Cao Cao's eyes closed slightly, he had just shouted the wrong thing, ashamed, frightened, and angry.
Qin Feng naturally knew that Cao Cao was wrong, as the superior who controlled the overall situation, Qin Feng rarely had a trace of tolerance, after all, it was Cao Cao in front of him.
Qin Feng's big gun retracted slightly, looked directly at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De, dismount and surrender." If you are still willing to do something for the country and the people, the lone king will give you a chance. ”
Disgrace!
For the hero Cao Cao, this sentence was a great shame for him, and it made him angrier than scolding him. Cao Cao held the big lance tightly in front of him with both hands, and said coldly: "Virtuous brother, take a break from the benefits of your tongue." What you just said is exactly what my brother wants to tell you. If you dismount and surrender, you will protect your Qin clan for your brother! ”
This sentence, coming from the mouth of Cao Cao, who was about to fail, is really the biggest joke today.
Qin Feng laughed and said, "In this case, don't blame the Lone King's subordinates for being ruthless!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao had already begun to act. I saw a big lance in his hand and suddenly pointed angrily.
Qin Feng only thought that Cao Cao was going to kill him at this time. Hurry and prepare to meet the enemy.
Who knew that things took a sharp turn of 180 degrees.
"Northwest, fight your way out with me." Cao Cao shouted. Riding a horse galloping through the gap to the northwest.
Cao Cao's thousands of soldiers in his own formation, anxious like lost dogs, followed closely. All of them were frightened, wanting to throw away their weapons and equipment and move forward lightly, but they were afraid that they would lose their ability to resist after being stopped.
Qin Feng didn't expect his wife Cao to be full of momentum, but she ran away. He immediately led his troops and horses to intercept them diagonally.
"Brother Mengde, don't run. If you run away and get caught, the Lone King will not be able to keep your glory and wealth. Qin Feng shouted. On the one hand, he ordered Dian Wei and Xu Chu to cut open Cao Cao's main formation.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was clever, and when he raised his eyes, he was surrounded by the banners of the Qin army, and all the soldiers and horses on his side were scattered.
Guo Jia, who followed closely, did not speak, and he deeply blamed himself for his early judgment mistakes. But the information was wrong first, and he couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, he hurriedly said: "The lord must not hesitate, I look at the current situation, there are still tens of thousands of people left in our army." If you retreat into Tongguan, you can stop Qin Feng's soldiers and horses. Then send someone to Lu Bu and Liu Bei for help. ”
Cao Cao nodded heavily, and didn't look back, just jumped his horse and fled all the way.
Cao Cao's main formation was turbulent under the rush of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and a large number of Cao soldiers died. This formation is about to collapse.
However, a team of soldiers and horses galloped in the distance, and it was estimated that there were more than a thousand people.
"Hugh chases my lord. Xiahou Yuan is here! I saw Xiahou Yuan raise the spear above his head, and he came to Dian Wei. One shot was stabbed.
When the long .......
Dian Wei swung his spear with a halberd in one hand and looked at it fixedly. Happy, "Scare the monkey? ”
"Damn!" Monkey scare is already a nickname in Xiahou Yuan's back, although the soldiers have never said it to his face, but he heard it from behind his back several times, which is a great shame. "Dian Weiner is here!"
"I am Qin Zijin's father-in-law, who dares to kill me!" Xiahoudun shouted and shouted, and at the same time, he waved a big knife and led the army to stop the Qin army chasing Cao Cao, and the momentum was really indomitable.
Xu Chu, who stepped forward to fight, was stunned, and his soldiers were also stunned, the old man of King Qin, they really didn't dare to do it.
Since ancient times, there have been many family battles, but none of them will shout like this. Obviously, in this defeat, Xiahoudun also had some lack of confidence, so he said that the old man of Hu Qin was bold.
Qin Feng, who came later, was so angry, and said in his heart how could he have such a big-faced old man.
When Xiahoudun saw Qin Feng in golden armor, his heart suddenly moved, and he shouted: "I am the old man of King Qin." While killing in front of Qin Feng, he said in his heart that if he caught this noble son-in-law, he could win without a fight.
Along the way, the Qin army just resisted, and did not dare to stop it with dead force.
Qin Feng really couldn't beat this peerless old man, and shook the big gun, "Zhongkang, take down this scared monkey, whether you live or die." ”
Xu Chu, who followed Xiahoudun closely, didn't dare to do it lightly at first, but now he didn't care about it when he waited for the order. Rushed forward and slashed Xiahoudun in the back with a knife.
Xiahoudun waved his hand and raised his knife to clamp it, and shouted: "Qin Zijin, you dare to kill your father-in-law, your daughter's maternal grandfather?" ”
Qin Feng was furious and said, "Xiahoudun, the eldest husband must know that he is shameful, dismount and surrender, otherwise he will have no eyes for swords and guns." ”
Xiahoudun suddenly blushed, he was already surrounded by groups, and he couldn't advance from left to right. However, seeing that Cao Cao had gone away, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The enemy was scattered in the field, and the Qin army was also scattered in the field to pursue the enemy.
Cao Cao, who fled, broke away from the battlefield with the assistance of his generals with the help of continuous death.
An hour later, it was getting dark. It was really difficult to find the enemy in the night, and the Qin army had to stop the pursuit.
So far, Qin Feng has won the battle of Hangu Pass, defeating more than 100,000 Cao troops, but he himself has lost more than 30,000 people. Of course, not more than 30,000 people were killed in the battle, and sixty percent of them were only injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.
The Zhang Hebu suffered heavy losses, the Black Mountain Army lost more than 40,000 people, more than 20,000 were wounded, and there were less than 10,000 capable fighters.
Qin Feng led the army back to Hangu Pass and stationed there, he immediately comforted the wounded, and properly arranged the bereavement of the fallen soldiers. The dead were activated on the spot, and the ashes were transported back to the martyrs' cemetery in Yedu for burial. In the form of a briefing from the imperial court, the honorary documents were sent to the families, and the local government was ordered to give various help to the families of the martyrs.
In this way of dealing with the dead, only generals in all dynasties had such treatment. Therefore, the soldiers of the Qin army who have no worries. It was not demoralized because of the death of his comrades-in-arms, but morale was high. Everyone wants to avenge their comrades.
Qin Feng then held a military meeting in Hangu Pass overnight.
"The King. The minister is guilty! Zhang He, Tian Feng, and Chen Zhi knelt on the ground when they came out of class.
Qin Feng sat on the throne in his crown, and in the shaking of the bead curtain in front of his forehead, he motioned for them to get up and said: "The shape of the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the plan is to go out of the customs to induce Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle, but I didn't expect Cao Cao to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle in advance, and you will not have time to withdraw to the pass." This is providential, not your sin. ”
Zhang He and the others were grateful and returned to the class.
Qin Feng put his hands on the desk. Looking down at the ministers, he said: "The report of cleaning the battlefield came back, and it is estimated that Cao Cao lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. What do you think about today's form? ”
Pang Tong was the first to come out and played: "King, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Lu Bu are all new defeats, and now is the best time to attack Yongliang, and Cao Cao must not be given time to breathe." ”
Qin Feng motioned to the rest of the military divisions.
Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Tian Feng all agreed.
So, early in the morning, after the false reinforcements led by Ma Chao and Pang De entered the customs. Qin Feng left Chen Zhi and Tian Feng in charge of the logistics support and transportation of the army at Hangu Pass.
He led the troops himself, with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Pang De, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan as generals. Xu Shu, Jia Xu, and Pang Tong were military divisions, and 210,000 infantry marched into Tongguan.
Of course, the cute little tail of King Qin is indispensable. The red-faced female Shi Xin Xianying.
On the other hand, Tongguan Cao Jun side.
Cao Cao's 170,000 troops came out of the pass, and only 60,000 soldiers and horses returned from the pass. The Battle of Hangu Pass. He lost 110,000 soldiers and horses.
In the conference hall, the sound of smashing constantly echoed. Guo Jia, Xiahoudun and others bowed their heads and looked at each other, and no one dared to look at Cao Cao, who was angry in the hall. And among them. One of them knelt on the ground, shivering and sweating profusely.
"Damn, sound east to west, sound east to west! With such a large-scale march into Guanzhong, you scouts didn't even send any news to them. What do you want, it's all dead! Cao Cao had already smashed the case in front of him, still roaring to himself.
The general who was in charge of probing the horse only thought that he was dead, and kowtowed: "My lord, the Qin army is full of cavalry, and it has set up checks everywhere on the avenue to prevent anyone from moving. Our army could only go to the wilderness, so it was too late to send ....... ”
"Excuses, all excuses!" Cao Cao was annoyed, got up and kicked the case out with one kick, and pointed angrily: "Come on, drag him out and behead him to show the public!" ”
"Whoa!"
His own guards stepped forward, put the general on the ground, let it scream miserably, dragged it out, and slashed it.
When the head was brought back, Cao Cao was still furious, and everyone in the hall did not dare to say more.
Only Guo Jia came out of the class and said: "Lord, for the sake of today's plan, you still have to stick to Tongguan, and you can send envoys to Lu Bu and Liu Bei to ask for support." ”
Cao Cao calmed down, squinted his eyes, and said fiercely: "Will they come to support?" ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Just clarify the stakes, they will definitely send troops." ”
So, Cao Cao followed his words, he left all the 60,000 people in Tongguan, and made Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Lu Qian, Cheng Lian, Li Feng, Garrison Hanguguan, Guo Jia, and Liu Ye as strategists. And he himself returned to Chang'an, and then recruited troops and horses, and prepared supplies to the front. In addition, he sent Cheng Yu as an envoy, first to Hanzhong and then to Chengdu, asking Lu Bu and Liu Bei to send troops to help.
After Xiahoudun took over the defense of Tongguan, he began to make every effort to strengthen the defense of Tongguan, and the strategist Liu Ye led the soldiers to continue to build trebuchets without stopping.
Tongguan is in the middle of the mountains, and there is no shortage of mountains and rocks. In order to prevent Qin Feng from bombarding the city wall day and night with trebuchets, Guo Jia asked Xiahoudun to expand the city wall and arrange the trebuchets on the gates, so that he could stand high and throw far away, and he could attack the enemy's trebuchet troops smoothly.
At this point, the Cao army in Tongguan worked hard day and night to build the defense of the city, hoping to pass these defensive forces to block Qin Feng's army from Tongguan.
September.
On this day, Xiahou was on top of Tongguan, looking at the huge Qin army coming from afar, and said very worriedly: "Military division, can you stop Qin Zi from entering?" ”
Guo Jia put up a pergola in his hand, looked into the middle and said: "During this period of time, our army has collected as much as possible enough sandalwood, rolling stones and other garrison and defensive things. Qin Feng's infantry is only 1340,000 people, and our army has these fortifications as a support, as well as the trebuchet of Lord Liu Ye to help, and will definitely be able to hold Tongguan.
