Chapter 126 Carriage Gorge

Cao Wenzhao ordered a retreat, and his troops turned around and left. However, like other troops, they were inevitably scattered. Weapon: Advertisement, full text. Usually, at this time, it is an absolute good opportunity to kill from behind, but Niu Jinxing does not have this

Courage, you must know that once the whole army charges, the formation will be gone. When the time comes to fight, it is really difficult to say who will win.

The rogue bandits did not dare to chase, but Cao Wenzhao wanted them to pursue him, but he had no choice but to retreat and return to Zhashui City. After Cao Wenzhao returned to the city, he was worried. If this was the case, wouldn't he have to sit back and watch the rogue bandits follow him?

Escape right under your nose.

I have been transferred to Shaanxi and have fought with the bandits. It can be said that I have never been defeated. Today, I was pushed back by the bandits, which is really annoying.

However, General Cao had the demeanor of a general, and he quickly calmed down and began to think about strategies to defeat the enemy. With so many years of fighting experience, he naturally had rich combat experience, and he quickly came up with a way.

This method is a trick commonly used by nv masters in Liaodong. The nv masters mainly use cavalry and come and go like the wind. When fighting, if they see the enemy's strict formation, they will retreat and not attack again, and then look for good opportunities. The enemy cannot be ready at all times.

There is always a time to relax, and at this time, the nv real person can rely on his quick maneuvering speed to kill the enemy by surprise.

Officers, soldiers and women have fought against each other several times, and it can be said that they have all suffered this loss. Now that I think about it, I can also use this method. Soldiers and horses surround the bandits, waiting for the opportunity. If you are always ready, then I will not

Attack, but once your troops and horses relax, I will suddenly attack and kill you. Moreover, if you are always vigilant, the speed will inevitably slow down when marching, and reinforcements from other places will probably be able to

Come here and concentrate your superior forces. Even if you form a formation, we will still be able to kill you.

Thinking of this method, Cao Wenzhao was not anxious. He sat firmly in the city and sent out reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the movements of the rogue bandits. At the same time, he quickly sent messages to Shangluo, Hanzhong and Chen Qiyu's troops, asking them to hurry up.

They came here and together they annihilated Li Zicheng.

Let’s talk about Li Zicheng. Cao Wenzhao retreated. Li Zicheng summoned the generals of each battalion and held a meeting to study the next step. During the meeting, Niu Jinxing proposed that if we did not eliminate Cao Wenzhao this time, we would be in trouble later. Let’s march,

To go to Jinzhou, we have to pass through his territory. With his cavalry watching, we have to be careful at every step. Otherwise, if we underestimate the enemy and lose our position, we will give him an opportunity to take advantage of his cavalry.

It comes and goes like the wind, and if we can't protect it at any time, it will kill us. If we resist hastily, it will be difficult to resist.

Li Yan agreed, but then raised objections. It was right to move forward steadily, but Chen Qiyu's army was behind, and reinforcements were coming from Hanzhong and Shangluo. If he walked slowly and was overtaken by the army of officers and soldiers, it would be terrible.

Oops. It's best to come up with a way to kill Cao Wenzhao's troops first, so that we can speed up the march.

Li Yan's idea was right, and Niu Jinxing also agreed with it, but it was not easy to destroy Cao Wenzhao's cavalry. After studying for a long time, he came up with a way to deceive the formation, which was to deliberately make the formation a little looser and lure Cao Cao.

Wen Zhao came to attack, and when Cao Wen Zhao came to kill him, he immediately formed a formation and made dumplings for him.

Everyone felt that this plan was feasible and acted accordingly.

This method is okay, but it has a shortcoming, that is, the formation has just been practiced recently and is not familiar with it yet. The troops do not dare to move quickly, and the troops do not dare to spread out too much. They just deliberately look like they are scattered. In fact, the battalions are still together.

in one piece.

If you do this, you think Cao Wenzhao is a fool. General Cao has been wallowing in the battlefield for so many years. Is it me? You think I am a three-year-old child. Your army looks like a mess, but it still maintains its formation and its marching speed is not fast.

, the order has not been drawn up at all. As soon as my soldiers and horses are killed, you can immediately form a formation. If you make me dumplings again, who am I to argue with you? So, Cao Wenzhao will not attack at all, you go

Slow down, I will lead the troops and horses from behind and follow slowly to see who is in a hurry and who can outlast the other. Anyway, the reinforcements will arrive in three to five days. What will you do then?

The bandits marched in formation, and in the evening they had to set up camp carefully to avoid sneak attacks by the army. With this method, they could cover forty miles in one day. Normally, it would only take two days to travel from Zhashui to Jinzhou.

It took three days to arrive.

Cao Wenzhao has received Chen Qiyu's letter. The army is sixty miles behind him and can arrive in one day. The other two groups of soldiers and horses are even closer, and they can join forces in half a day.

Although Li Zicheng didn't know this, he could guess that the officers and soldiers were too close.

There were almost no defenders in Jinzhou City, but Li Zicheng did not even dare to attack. He went straight to Pingli County in the southeast. As long as he passed Pingli County and walked south for one day, it would be Sichuan's territory. The officers and soldiers could not

There are many mountains in Yue Province, which are suitable for marching by yourself. You can definitely get rid of the officers and soldiers. At that time, you can either join up with other bandits, or take a detour to Huguang or Henan.

Considering this, Li Zicheng marched directly regardless of day or night, and his troops did not rest. However, he did not dare to increase the speed of the march.

Cao Wenzhao saw that Li Zicheng was marching as usual at night, and he originally wanted to catch up with him, but the bandits fought to the death, so he notified the reinforcements to come quickly. But when he looked at the map, he changed his mind. If he ventured forward now, he would still be in danger.

I'm not completely sure. What if the reinforcements arrive late? And the map shows that there are two roads ahead, one is the main road. If the bandits take the main road, they will definitely be exhausted after tonight, and there is no need.

When reinforcements arrive, he can eat these bandits himself. The other road is called Carriage Gorge, which is difficult to get in and out. The gorge is forty miles long, enough for Li Zicheng to walk for a day. As long as the entrance and exit are blocked, the bandits are not

It's within reach.

In Cao Wenzhao's plan, no matter how Li Zicheng goes, it will always be doubtful.

Li Zicheng's troops traveled all night. At dawn, they were already exhausted. There were two roads in front of them, one was the main road and the other was the canyon. Li Zicheng and the others also had maps and knew that there was such a canyon. They traveled all night with the purpose of entering the canyon.

. Because going out from the Chariot Gorge is the boundary of Sichuan. However, although they have a map, they don’t have the details of Cao Wenzhao. They only know that the name of this canyon is Chacha Gorge, which stretches for forty miles, and not far from the valley is Sichuan.

.

The reason why he drove all night was to enter the Carriage Gorge. Inside the canyon, Cao Wenzhao's cavalry would lose their advantage. If he dared to pursue him, Li Zicheng would really dare to fight him. Besides, if he wanted to take the main road now, he would have to do it.

It was impossible. After traveling all night, my men were exhausted. If they walked in an open area, they probably wouldn't even need a large army of officers and soldiers. Cao Wenzhao alone could kill them.

Under the command of Li Zicheng, the rogues entered the Carriage Gorge. Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed to be rewarded. What are you waiting for? Cao Wenzhao immediately ordered to advance quickly, bypass the Carriage Gorge, and block the exit in front. Then he asked the passer-by to

Xinbing used the fastest speed to notify other soldiers and horses to come for reinforcements. One was to block the back, and the other was to go to the front to help.

The carriage gorge is no more than ten feet wide, with abrupt peaks on both sides, rugged rocks, countless ditches and bumps, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It is only suitable for infantry to march, and cavalry cannot use it at all. After walking for more than ten miles, Li Zicheng saw that his troops and horses were really strong.

He was so tired that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered him to rest where he was, eat some food, get some sleep, and then go on his way again. Even if Cao Wenzhao came in, everyone would have time to resist.

He thought well, but Cao Wenzhao didn't even think about going in. He took a detour to block the carriage gorge, which required a lot of unnecessary walking. Fortunately, he was riding a horse and was very fast. He arrived here in less than three hours.

At the entrance of the valley, Cao Wenzhao smiled. The exit here was much narrower than the entrance there. All he had to do was to use strong bows and crossbows to block the entrance of the valley. Then he ordered his soldiers to climb up the cliff, drop huge rocks, and block the entrance of the valley. The rogue bandits would

It's hard to escape with its wings.

Cao Wenzhao asked his nephew Cao Bianjiao to lead his troops up the cliff, but there was no need to drop the rocks now. Just prepare more rocks, which would be enough. When Li Zicheng's troops arrived, there would be no time. For such a narrow opening, you have more than 30,000 yuan.

It is impossible for all the bandits to come out at once. If Shitou is heard in the valley and Li Zicheng escapes from the entrance again, all his previous efforts will be lost.

Everything was ready. After another two hours, Cao Wenzhao received a report that Zuo Liangyu and his army had arrived at the entrance. Reinforcements from Shangluo were approaching him. They would arrive in less than two hours. Governor Chen Qiyu's

In another twenty miles, the troops can reach the entrance of the Carriage Gorge and join Zuo Liangyu.

After receiving a series of reports, Cao Wenzhao smiled. This time he could finally eliminate the bandits in Shaanxi.

The bandits in the Carriage Gorge were not aware of the situation outside the valley, so they had a good sleep. They got up at dusk, ate some solid food, and continued on their way. To be honest, marching in the valley is not easy. I am so respectful now.

In the winter months of the third year, the wind was freezing in the canyon. Everyone lit a fire and huddled together to sleep. The main reason was that they were too tired.

The soldiers and horses continued to move forward. According to Li Zicheng's plan, before the fourth watch, they walked out of the carriage gap, walked at night, and slept during the day. Taking into account the weather, the sun during the day would be somewhat stronger than at night.

He walked out of the carriage canyon before the fourth watch. Logically speaking, there should be no problem, but he underestimated the terrain inside. The further he walked, the narrower the road and the more difficult it was to walk. It was only at dawn that he could see the end.

"We've finally come to the end. Brothers, work harder. Everyone, hurry up and get out. Sichuan is ahead!"

Li Zicheng shouted and ordered the soldiers to raise their heads and move forward quickly. The bandits also saw hope and gathered their strength and walked out. The soldiers at the front saw that they could get out of the valley in more than ten steps, but in

At this time, a series of loud noises were heard.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

Hearing the noise, the bandits were shocked. They quickly looked up and saw several huge rocks rolling down the mountain.

"ah……"

Seeing such a scene, the bandits couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Today I saw some readers saying, why do rogues attack a city by cooperating inside and outside every time? Isn’t it childish? Is it that easy? In fact, Xiaoyi doesn’t know how to answer this question, because many cities in history have been like this.

Even Tongguan, which was captured by the rogue bandits, was captured by Li Zicheng's men who disguised themselves as a caravan and entered the pass, and cooperated with the inside and the outside. As for how they were able to get in, and how it was so easy to cooperate with the inside and the outside, Xiaoyi also

There is no way to answer this, we can only ask the defenders at the time.
