Chapter 264: Please enter the urn

Eighteen years of Jian'an, August 18.
The summer's hot breath has swept through the entire emperor, and the lush hills and forests on both sides did not bring half the coolness to this weather.
The atmosphere of Xiao Xi killed the birds and beasts in the surrounding forests and fled towards the distance. In the valley road, which was fairly flat, the two armies met in the scorching sunlight at such a common noon.
There is no unnecessary nonsense. At the same time when the other party was discovered, Cao Hong and Liu Feng issued decisive orders at the same time.
This is the first real collision between the army and the army since Cao Jun entered Hanzhong. The fierce fighting sound shattered the tranquility in the valley. The surprise led to the coveting of the beasts in the mountains. It was just such a fierce fighting scene. , Is a fierce worm, not daring to rush in to eat like this.
Liu Feng ’s choice to take the initiative to attack naturally has his own reasons. The summer of the Shu region is different from that of the Central Plains. In the sultry environment, it is difficult for outsiders to come in for the first time, and the Shu army has been accustomed to this climate. Discomfort, this is the time.
And here belongs to the hilly area. The Shu army is best at mountain warfare. It is more advantageous to fight in the wild. It is even more advantageous than defending the city. Xixian is not a small city. It is not much stronger than the original Mianyang. The advantages of this are brought into play, and this is the geographical advantage.
As for human and local warfare, there is already a case for it. At this time, the people and the people are on their own side, and the military strength is not much different. At this time, Liu Feng chose to take the initiative to attack. There is no problem.
And the fact is as Liu Feng expected. After a short stalemate, most of Cao Jun was exposed to the shortcomings of the climate in Shuzhong, and the humidity was much higher than that of the outside world. The march still felt less obvious at ordinary times. I was caught in a fierce battle, but after a while, I had difficulty breathing. No matter how good I was, 10% of my strength could only show 60% or 70%, and I could put it on the battlefield. This can be directly converted into the proportion of casualties.
After tens of thousands of people violently killed an hour in this valley road, Cao Jun ’s disadvantage gradually became apparent, and the soldiers on the battlefield might not feel it, but as the generals who took the overall situation, Cao Hong and Liu Feng were able to understand Aware of this change.
Cao Hong is a brave warrior under Cao Cao. After a hundred battles, he saw that the momentum was wrong, but he did not dare to order Mingjin immediately. The two sides fought fiercely. If he rushed to win gold, it is likely that the defeat would change directly into defeat.
Not even retreating, you can only keep shrinking the formation to stabilize your position.
Although Liu Feng had the upper hand, he faced the elite of Cao Jun after all, and Cao Hong was obviously not the kind of general who immediately panicked God when he saw a bad situation, which ultimately failed to completely transform into a victory.
The sky was full of arrows and rain, just like the locusts in the slaughter period. Everyone was fighting to death. This fierce confrontation continued until the evening. Cao Jun finally could n’t support it and began to defeat. The loss of soldiers and horses had exceeded 30%. So far, Cao Hong has been able to manage the army. If it is replaced by an ordinary army, I am afraid that it has already begun to defeat when the disadvantage has just appeared.
Liu Feng tried the situation and saw that Cao Jun had already shown signs of chaos, and he did not give up on this. Instead, he waved his troops up and hunted down until the sky was completely dark before Liu Feng withdrew his troops back to the city.
At this time, Cao Jun had already collapsed and fled the mountains and the wild, with more than half of his casualties. Cao Hong had no choice but to face this situation. After confirming that Liu Feng had retired, he led the remnant army to retreat for twenty miles before he ordered people to gather the broken soldiers.
In this battle, Cao Hong suffocated, not lost to Liu Feng, but lost to this climate. The soldiers were not satisfied with the soil and water, and the military strength had no advantage. They can stand up to now. To be honest, it is already pretty good.
However, the other party ’s general was really good. After settling down, Cao Hong asked left and right: "Who is that Naxi County guard?"
"Looking at the banner, it was Liu Feng, but it was the righteous son of the big-eared thief when he was in Jingzhou. After the Battle of Chibi, he followed Liu Yi and swept across the four counties of Jingnan with two thousand soldiers." Cao Jun said to Liu Bei The intelligence collection is still very detailed, including Liu Yi, the owner of Mo City who had turned to Liu Bei before the Battle of Chibi. In Cao Jun ’s intelligence, he is also a core figure belonging to the Liu Bei Group.
"Liu Feng?" Cao Hongwen was a little depressed. Although there were reasons for the defeat of the army today, he was a great general and had been in the world for decades, but now he was defeated by a younger generation.
Xixian has already prepared. He lost another battle with his own soldiers and horses, and lost more than half of it. Although he did not lose himself in the hands of a junior, it was difficult to win by less than Liu Feng. Can only find a place to rest for one night, early in the morning, the soldiers were counted, and he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left, let alone siege, Liu Fengruo led his troops to fight, Cao Hongdu Not confident to play against each other.
Moreover, Xixian seems to have been prepared for a long time. This fast break strategy has been completely destroyed, but Cao Hong is not willing to attack Xixian, but since he came here, why not bypass the Fangling checkpoint and hit Fangling directly, even if Unable to break through Fangling, it can also attack the enemy's food channel and help Cao Ren break through that level. By that time, Cao Ren's army has merged and it is not difficult to break Fangling.
Such thoughts can't be stopped together. Cao Hong's character is a bit like Wei Yan's, and he is also the kind who dares to take risks. After thinking about it for a moment, he did not lead the soldiers back to the original road, but went straight to Fangling.
Obviously, Cao Hong did n’t know that Liu Yi ’s demanding intelligence requirements. In this battlefield, Liu Yi could be said to be full of eyeliners. Mo said that Fang Ling is now fighting Cao Jun, which is the upper middle side. As long as there is Cao Jun ’s trace, Shangyong will immediately enter the state of combat readiness, just like Liu Yi said before, no merit, but no end, the enemy wants to win him, only through the frontal battlefield, do n’t Don't think about it.
Cao Hong is not yet close to Fangling, and Liu Yi has received news.
"Sir, how could Cao Hong appear here?" Meng Da looked at Liu Yi in amazement, wondering why Cao Ren came here.
"It is estimated that Xixian was frustrated. I temporarily thought of taking Xixian to bypass our army's rear and attack Fangling." Liu Yi thought about it. This result is not difficult to guess. As for the cut off of the grain road, Fangling does not At ten miles, Cao Hong had no cavalry, and the real idea was to fight against the enemy and seek death.
"We will meet him at the end!" Meng Da laughed. Over the past two days, he gradually saw Cao Jun's weaknesses. He was unsatisfied with water and soil, and he was not good at fighting for a long time. Fighting in this place in Hanzhong, the Shu army had too much advantage. .
"Not in a hurry, let's invite a man into the urn." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled. After all, the out-of-city operations cost too much troops. Even if Cao Hong was destroyed, Fangling's troops would be insufficient.
"Please come into the urn?" Meng Da looked at Liu Yi blankly. What did you say? Never heard of it.
"To do as I said is to transfer all the civilians I have used before, take advantage of that Cao Hong did not come, do something, and in addition, lift down the two broken crossbows on the city wall first." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled. He just thought the word was appropriate. As for the origin of this sentence ... The ghost knew that it was his original creation.
"Hello!" Meng Da nodded and asked no more, although the broken army crossbow is powerful, but there are only two, and the deterrent effect is far less than the shock of the ten crossbow machines launched in Yangpingguan at the same time. Sufficient, combined with the geographical advantage, the demand for breaking the crossbow is not great.
These days Liu Yi has continued to improve, and the scale of the entire Guancheng has been built. The front and rear walls are separated by a mile, but the back is the Gukou, and the wall is sixty feet. It has not yet completely dried up. Does Liu Yi want to be scary again?
Meng Da looked at Liu Yi, and guessed in his mind how Liu Yi asked him to enter the urn?
Liu Yi didn't say much. As the highest leader in Hanzhong today, some necessary mystery is still needed.
Liu Yi wrote a letter to Fang Lingling to let him cooperate with himself.
A group of craftsmen rushed to work day and night under the direction of Liu Yi.
Cao Hong led the remnant army and spent three days renovating to boost morale. At the same time, he grabbed some grain from the villages along the way to supplement. In order to avoid leaking information, Cao Hong was the three villages where he passed. Zhuang Tu massacre, so along the way, that Liu Beibing horse did not seem to find this invading soldier.
Three days later, Cao Hong took these reinvigorated soldiers to the vicinity of Fangling and sent someone to investigate Fangling.
"General, the four doors of Nafangling are closed. Only when the grain and grass are transported will the half gate be opened to send things to the front gate. The humble office wants to mix in, but it is almost shot by the defending army. There is no official road. Quoting, before our army retired, no one could enter the city gate. The UU reading book www.uukanshu.com "the soldier in charge of investigating the news came back and bowed to Cao Hong.
"Delivering grain and grass?" Cao Hong's eyes lit up and looked at the general: "Send someone to investigate secretly, how and when will the grain and grass be shipped?"
Asking this question, it ’s not natural that I want to cut off the other ’s grain road. Between this level and the city, it ’s not even ten miles away. I really go to cut the grain. People can see it when standing on the city wall. Shu army, to fish in muddy water, first take down this level, as long as the level is taken, tens of thousands of troops of Cao Jun are put in, how can a block mausoleum be stopped?
"Well!" The general agreed to let the commander leave and secretly probed how the Shu army transported supplies.
In this way, for another two days, the scouts found out the intelligence and came to report: "General, the servant has caught a Shu army and asked, the grain and grass will be delivered every three days, and the door will be opened directly when the checkpoint is over."
"Good!" Cao Hong said with great joy: "You will lead the people into the grain transport team tomorrow. After entering the city, you can occupy the city gate. When I lead the army into it, take the Guancheng!"
"Well!" The general Wen Yan also thought that this method was good, and now nodded and left ...
