Due to the geographical conditions, although the north of the state is generally under the jurisdiction of Datong, but the mountain roads are separated, in fact, Datong can only govern its own area, and the three passes are actually the type directly managed by the imperial court.

And this is also the reason why Sanguan was destroyed in one fell swoop, not everyone is Zhou Yafu, Sanguan's qualifications are not worse than Zhou Yafu, Li Guang and Ma Yuan are all famous generals, but their self-control is not as good as Zhou Yafu, and the end of being imprisoned is not unjust!

Judging from the total strength of the Great Sui State, it is indeed far more than the Han State, but if it is said from a single road, it is under the Han State.

Moreover, because the army had to divide troops to defend the key passes everywhere, it was never possible to gather, but the Han State was able to mobilize the whole country's troops at will and attack any of them, so in the later stage of the Central Plains Battle, it was the Sui State that suffered several defeats in a row, and the Sui army, which was inferior in strength, was defeated by the Han army with an absolute superiority after falling into the trap of Zhuge Liang.

For example, the battle of Michi, that is, more than 10,000 tired soldiers of Li Cunxiao who had been running back and forth for several days due to Zhuge Liang's strategy, faced the 100,000 recuperated Han army led by Zhuge Liang.

Although he fell into the enemy's hands, he could only blame himself for being stupid, no wonder the enemy was cunning, but with the disparity in the strength of the decisive battle between the two armies, it was only over after nearly two days of fighting in Mianchi, among which Li Cunxiao finally came out with more than 1,000 guards, and the damage of the Han army was only more than that of the Sui army.

If under fair circumstances, with the same force to fight head-on, whether it is a field battle or a city attack and defense, the Sui army actually did not lose many battles, and it was not uncommon for the Han army to be forced to retreat with fewer enemies; And now, it's almost the same force.

And the 20,000 war horses used as bait, I don't know how much they lost at this time, but if they can catch Zhang Liao, it won't be a loss!

"There's still a fight!" Zhou Yafu thought with certainty that if it could be delayed a little longer, the follow-up reinforcements should arrive, and it would be better if Wei Qing had already broken through the Yanmen Pass, and then it would be the Han army that would attack the Sui army before and after.

It's just that the reinforcements have not arrived now, and the rear hands of the Sui army have begun to attack with all their might, and the rising sun is rising from the mountains, and the two sides are fighting in the north and south respectively, and the sky is not there at this time; And for many days, the Sui army's attacks have trampled all over this land, and the location is not there; At this time, no reinforcements have arrived, and the infantry will be sent to death if they go up, and no one will be there!

If there is no right time, place and people, how can you fight?

There were many calculations in his heart, one after another, and then they were denied one after another, and in the end, Zhou Yafu still gritted his teeth and called: "Pan Feng! ”

"The last general!"

Just a dozen steps away from Zhou Yafu's side, a tall and handsome officer jumped off his horse in response, his flexible movements were not affected by a heavy armor, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Yafu's horse: "Please command, marshal!" ”

Zhou Yafu raised his somewhat heavy right arm and pointed to the enemy formation in front of him, "You take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters and rush forward." The tone was so flat that it was like asking Pan Feng to go to the street to get a pot of wine and buy vegetables.

"Rush?" Pan Feng looked up suspiciously, didn't Zhou Yafu just say that there was no chance? Why now?

Zhou Yafu's eyes stared at Pan Feng, and in an instant, they became as sharp as thorns, and he asked sharply, "You dare to ...... Still don't dare? ”

Pan Feng has a good appearance, and his fair skin makes him not look like a military man who is exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and his appearance is really good among all the soldiers, it is "General Pan Feng"! But it was this young man who was less than thirty years old, and his armor and robes were still stained with blood, which was the mark he had caused when he led the team to rush and kill before.

Pan Feng heard Zhou Yafu's rhetorical question, Huo Ran stood up, his phoenix eyes were raised, his face was red, he was carrying a double axe, and he roared angrily and replied: "Why don't you dare!" ”

With a gust of wind, he got back on his horse, raised an axe, and shook it vigorously above his head. The howling of the breaking wind attracted the attention of the soldiers under his command, and he roared like thunder: "Sons! Kill me! ”

As a cavalry general, Pan Feng commanded 5,000 cavalry, and his experience over the years has really grown a lot, and he was personally trained by Zhou Yafu, so he was naturally not the "general" who was cut down by Hua Xiong back then, and he had the momentum that only a famous general in a hundred battles had.

Zhou Yafu allocated the reserve army, supplemented Pan Feng's team, a whirlwind of cavalry rushed out of the camp, thunderous hooves echoed in the battlefield, under the leadership of Pan Feng, a headlong into the battlefield of fighting, Pan Feng held a big axe, flashed his hands, straight like a dragon into the sea, people and horses passed by, with a blood wave, a cadre of cavalry followed Pan Feng to rush over, like a light boat breaking the waves, forcing the enemy in front of him to retreat.

A top-level military general has a really powerful impact on the battlefield, even if the troops entangled on the battlefield at this time are elite, and they are all legendary troops that people dream of!

But under the leadership of Pan Feng, there is not much difference between the legendary class and the ordinary soldiers!

The enemy's black general flag was in front of him, Pan Feng's roar was even stronger, the big axe rolled, and he successively overturned several Sui warriors who blocked the way, and led the team to break up the blocking of several Sui army iron cavalry, and rushed straight under the banner, vowing to cut off the head of the leading enemy general.

Seeing that Pan Feng was about to smash into the enemy's main formation, the horn in the Sui army's formation sounded a few times urgently, and there was a shout, and a dark yellow armor of the elite cavalry broke away from the entanglement with Zhang Liao at this time, and flew back, and the leading general, holding a long lance, rushed back towards Pan Feng in a blood-colored battle armor.

Zhou Yafu breathed shortly and clenched the reins of the horse suddenly: "Not good!" ”

He recognized the general on the other side, and when he was fighting against the Tang State back then, the peerless general on the opposite side also recognized this army of black armor; The legion that rushed back towards Pan Feng was a legion formed by the killer general, named "Flying Tiger Army", when the Tang army encountered a strong enemy, they would be ordered to rush into battle, and it was this legion that caused the bloodshed between the Han and Tang dynasties, which could stop the little two night crying.

Entangled by the elite cavalry left behind by the Sui army, Pan Feng's 5,000 cavalry army gradually slowed down, but still advanced towards the Sui army's general flag, a team of Sui army iron cavalry seized the opportunity and hit them, Pan Feng commanded properly, pulled the reins, and took the whole team to avoid the oblique stab, but their offensive also collapsed; A group of Sui army iron cavalry shouted and rushed forward, like a pack of wolves besieging a hungry tiger, surrounding Pan Feng and them, although the tiger is vicious, but every time it fights, it will be torn off a piece of flesh by the wolves.

The cavalry of the Song army that had entered the enemy line was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and every moment someone was injured and fell from his horse.

Pan Feng looked back, and his eyes suddenly split. With a loud shout that shook the entire battlefield, Pan Feng's big axe roared again in the wind, and the rolling axe shadow swept over the throats and chests of more than a dozen Sui warriors one after another, and the blade of the axe shone with blood.

"Come with me!"

Pan Feng shouted again, clamped his mount between his legs, and before the Sui army was encircled again, he led the remnants of the Han army under his command to rush out, and a line of cavalry rushed left and right in the Sui army formation, and it took all his strength to find a gap, and finally retreated to his own position, and entered and exited in the enemy formation, although hundreds of enemies were killed, but the iron cavalry under Pan Feng's command was only left with more than 1,000 people who were swaying on the horses and everyone was injured.

The battle situation suddenly changed, the momentum of one side fell, and the momentum of the other side would rise accordingly, Pan Feng was on the way to retreat, and the sound of drums and trumpets sounded from the camp of the Sui army.

Zhou Yafu of the Han army saw clearly that the killer to kill Pan Feng was just a pretense, and after a moment's flickering, he reflexively rushed back to Zhang Liao's formation, his long lance flew over, and the Han troops blocking the way were overturned one by one!

Zhang Liao glared at the Sui generals who were rushing to kill with a shout, and then looked at the cavalry who had been unable to charge again in a short period of time, snorted coldly, threw off the broken battle helmet, listened to it fall to the ground, untied the cloak, and let it go with the wind.

Knock knock! Knock knock!

The drums shook the sky, the war drums of the Han army shook the whole army, and the morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and the rhythm was combined, the Han army cavalry fought bravely again, and Pan Feng also turned around and rushed back again, no longer thinking about the general flag of the Sui army, but rushing back towards the fighting Sui army.

Wansheng!

Wansheng!

This is the unyielding chant of the soldiers of the Han army! This is the desire of the Han family for victory!

Zhang Liao waved his arms, and the spear blocked Li Cunxiao's lance, he was Zhang Liao of the mighty Jiangdong, among so many generals in the Three Kingdoms, he was also an outstanding Zhang Liao, why was he afraid of fighting?

……………………

Since leaving the pass, the baggage convoy has been driving all the way to the northeast along the official road, and the mountains on both sides have gradually risen, although it is actually the remaining vein of Taihang Mountain.

However, Taihang Mountain is too narrow and long, after a tenfold increase, this residual vein has also become a natural danger, it was originally able to protect the Han State to recuperate in Bingzhou, but the three passes in the north have been occupied, and the Han State has actually reached the point of life and death!

There are streams between the valleys that are gradually left, in fact, the Shenzhou Continent after the tenfold expansion is no longer the original Shenzhou Continent's landform, although there are still those mountains and rivers, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many more streams, which is caused by the nectar taken from the sky after those mountains are towering like clouds.

Of course, this is a myth, but in fact it is the snow on the mountains!

Crossing a gentle slope, there is a stream in front of him, the official road is low, only a little above the water surface, as if it will be flooded by the stream at any time, looking at the murmuring of the stream, shallow like a mountain stream, Han Shizhong's heart moved, called to stop the convoy, and Di Qing went down from the official road to the stream, he squatted down, stretched out his hand to try, and immediately gasped,

"It's cold water!"

This north is already cold, and the upstream of the stream flowing down the mountain is still frozen, so this stream is shallow, and when he reaches into the water, a cold cold penetrates into his heart, and Han Shizhong suddenly feels that even half of his body is frozen.

Han Shizhong's side, Di Qing knelt on the ground nonchalantly, took a few big sips of river water with his hand, half of the mask was dripping down, raised his sleeve and wiped it on his mouth indiscriminately, his movements were uninhibited, after drinking the water, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "When will this day end?" ”

Han Shizhong patted Di Qing on the shoulder, he knew why Di Qing was unhappy, although both of them were talented, but they didn't take the initiative to take refuge at the beginning, and they were taken captive, and there were some turmoil along the way, which hurt the empress!

even almost lost his life, but at that time, Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu interceded for him, and finally settled down in the Sui State, but after the two were taken captive, the First Army of the Song State fell apart not long after it was led by Zhao Gou Tongguan, and the land of Xu Yang was also occupied by the Sui army in one fell swoop, and not long after the Battle of Pengcheng, the Song State perished, and the two can be said to be the fuse of the fall of the Song State!

Of course, this is caused by the infighting between the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, and the culprit can only be said to be Zhao Goutong Guan and even Zhao Kuangyin of the Imperial City, or it is caused by the empress's discordant scheme, and it cannot be said that they are to blame!

After the fall of the Song Kingdom, the shackles on the two of them were gone, and they were also thrown into the Sui army under the conscription, but at this time there were no good conditions, and the first battle between the two was under Li Cunxiao's account!

This battle also suffered a big defeat with Li Cunxiao, of course, it was calculated by Zhuge Kongming, it was not a shame, although with the assistance of the two, Li Cunxiao was able to retreat and be able to collect more than a thousand defeated troops!

However, a defeat is a defeat, and the two can only be reduced to the escort team, which is still because both of them have some reputation, coupled with Li Cunxiao's recommendation, the general of a thousand people is no longer considered a low position in the army!

"Why bother...... The matter of recommendation has to be done if you are willing to do it, since I can't wait for Marshal Yue's vision, that's it. ”

Di Qing smacked his mouth, his heart was still unhappy, in his opinion, Yue Fei was a junior, but he was trusted by the empress, and he caught up with the good time, so he got such praise, he was not convinced!

Like Marshal Bai and Marshal Li, only the unified army and the destruction of the country can be regarded as heroes!

"That's right, we are going to fight the Han army, but now we are a guard, isn't this a trick? I've never seen anything like this! ”

"General Yue is cautious, and we have not made an inch, and now that the million-strong army of the Han State is on the front line of Ningwu and Yanmen, we will definitely have a chance to fight, and then we will make great achievements and wash away the shame, isn't it better?

Besides, General Li is also in Yanmen, so we can naturally be taken care of! ”

Compared with Di Qing, Han Shizhong is a little more tactful, and he appeased Di Qing in a few words, he said in his heart that he had no grievances, but in fact, there was, after all, he was the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops back then, and now he has been reduced to the position of a captain with a commander of 1,000 troops, how can he be regarded as down!

However, if the situation is clear today, if you don't invest in the Sui State, where can you use this ability?

The Sui State is not accustomed to these enemy generals who twist their heads and do not surrender, there is no Yulu, and it is not easy to live in peace!

How much does a suite in Chang'an cost, and there is a family to raise, the two don't speak, the family can only eat on the rivers and lakes, but the food on the rivers and lakes is not delicious!
