Five hundred and fortieth chapters: The enemy is tired and we fight
It’s just that God didn’t seem to hear Xun You’s wish. When Xiahou Dun led the army and had just arrived at Wu County, they received a military report that Zhongyang County had been breached! Xiahou Dun and the others came hard to defend Wu County.
, but they didn’t expect that the Maobian Qingqi would turn around and attack Zhongyang County again! After receiving this military report, Xiahoudun and the other three were all stunned!
Even Ma Chao saw it this time. The enemy was clearly leading them by the nose! Now Bingzhou has lost three counties in a row, but Xiahou Dun has never even seen the enemy. Such a frustrating battle
, Xiahou Dun and the other three have never fought before!
I'm angry, but Zhongyang County still needs to be saved. Zhongyang County is too close to Xihe City! Now all the soldiers and horses in Xihe City have been mobilized by Xiahou Dun. If the enemy goes to attack Xihe City at this time,
That would definitely not be able to stop the enemy's attack! In desperation, Xiahou Dun could only pick up the army that had just been stationed in Wu County and rush towards Zhongyang County.
At the same time, in Zhongyang County, Maoben Qingqi, who had just captured Zhongyang County, was already busy in the county. According to the military order issued by Zhao Yun, the soldiers of Maoben Qingqi had begun to move the goods in the Zhongyang County warehouse.
The supplies, and those that could not be moved, were gathered together by the soldiers to be burned. In the county government office in the center of the county, Zhao Yun and other generals who were brave and lightly cavalry were talking and laughing.
Hou Cheng, the general of Bingzhou who surrendered with the Bingzhou army, laughed and said: "Damn it! I have been fighting for so many years, but I have never fought so easily! We lost three of them in a daze.
A county town! Hahahaha! General Zhao! This trick of yours is really wonderful!"
"Haha!" Zhao Yun, who was sitting at the top, smiled, shook his head and said, "I didn't come up with this tactic, it was told to me by my lord! You forgot the secret letter that was sent along with my lord's military order.
Is it? There is this tactic taught to me by my lord! My lord is really powerful! This guerrilla method is the most suitable tactic for our cavalry!" Zhao Yun couldn't help but think of the sixteen-character secret taught by Luo Yang.
Both eyes shine.
"Tsk tsk!" Song Xian, who was sitting opposite Hou Cheng, also said with a smile on his face: "Of course this method is good, but it is too easy to win! It didn't take much effort to conquer three counties in a row! That Lingshi
The county magistrate actually surrendered without even fighting, it’s really boring!”
"Yes! Yes!" Wei Xu, who was next to Song Xian, also nodded repeatedly, turned to look at Zhao Yun, and said expectantly: "General Zhao! Since we have deceived Cao Wei's troops to go to Wu County
We have gone, why don't we simply attack Xihe City! Capturing Xihe City means that we have completely captured Xihe County! This is a great achievement!" Wei Xu suggested this, and other generals also started to express their opinions.
They nodded in agreement. They were all generals who had left Bingzhou. Naturally, they were looking forward to taking back their hometown!
"Okay! Stop making trouble!" At this time, as the second-in-command of the Maobian Qingqi and the leader of this group of Bingzhou generals, Zhang Liao spoke up and shouted: "General Zhao has his own decision on how to fight! Just rely on it.
You people can only come up with some bad ideas!" Zhang Liao said very rudely, but everyone has been friends with Zhang Liao for many years, so instead of being angry, they all just laughed and didn't take it seriously, of course.
, and no longer make random suggestions.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao with a smile. These Bingzhou generals were all unruly. Thanks to Zhang Liao for helping him control them over the years, otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort for Zhao Yun to convince these people.
!Immediately Zhao Yun said to everyone: "Everyone, it is impossible to attack Xihe City! But since everyone wants to have a big fight, I can help everyone!" After saying that, Zhao Yun subconsciously reached out and touched his chest.
, in the armor on the chest, the secret letter Luo Yang wrote last time was placed there.
"When the enemy is tired, I will fight!" Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with cold light, and he ran twice in succession. It was time to teach them a profound lesson!
————————————————Dividing Line———————————————————— Rushing from Wu County to Xihe, even if it is
The speed of the cavalry would take at least four or five days, and Xiahou Dun's troops were all infantry. Even if they traveled day and night, it took six or seven days, and Xiahou Dun's army only made it halfway. What's even worse is that it took six or seven days.
Yes, there was not even a county town on this section of the road, so the army could only sleep in the open air. In the past few days, the soldiers were complaining. If Xiahou Dun's prestige in the army was not high enough, there would have been a mutiny!
Just after crossing the Sanchuan River, the sky was completely dark and it was impossible to march. Xiahou Dun then ordered the army to set up camp on the spot. As soon as the camp was built, Xiahou Dun sent people to invite Xun You to discuss the military situation. As for Ma Chao,
He might be good at charging into battle, but Xiahou Dun couldn't count on him when it came to using his brain.
"Master Xun, we are still halfway to Xihe City. Do you think we can catch up?" Xiahou Dun was worried. If Xihe City was also captured by the opponent, it would mean that Xiahou Dun's mission had failed! Before
Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to Bingzhou to resist the Western Qin attack on Bingzhou! And Xihe County is the outpost of Bingzhou and Yongzhou. Losing one or two small counties is nothing, but if even Xihe County is lost, it will be troublesome.
But that's huge! The Western Qin Army can use Xihe County as a springboard to continuously send troops to Bingzhou, or even capture the entire Bingzhou!
Xun You also understood what Xiahou Dun was worried about, and quickly advised: "General Xiahou, please don't worry! We still have more than a thousand defenders in Xihe City, and General Zang Ba also remains in Xihe City! And the enemies are all cavalry, and they will not be able to do anything in a short time.
We may be able to break through Xihe City’s defense! It’s still too late for us to rush like this!”
Xun You's persuasion finally made Xiahou Dun feel relieved, but he still felt uneasy. If nothing else, the enemy he encountered this time really brought too many surprises to Xiahou Dun. It is impossible to judge this army with common sense.
Xiahou Dun frowned and looked at the map of Bingzhou in front of him, and asked: "Master Xun! What do you think Zhao Yun wants to do? He has been fighting back and forth, and at most he has captured three small counties.
At this time, it is better to attack Xihe City from the beginning!"
Hearing Xiahou Dun's question, Xun You also frowned. In fact, Xun You couldn't guess the purpose of Maobian Qingqi's action. Before, Xun You also guessed that the Western Qin sent troops to attack Bingzhou, and he didn't expect these troops to really win.
Going down to Bingzhou, the most it could do was harass Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could not concentrate on attacking Hangu Pass. But now it seems that Maobian Qingqi just ran around like this and captured three counties in a row, even if he was finally allowed to capture it.
What about Xihe City?
Xun You saw deeper than Xiahou Dun. He could see clearly that the Western Qin Army had no intention of capturing Bingzhou. Otherwise, they would not have sent cavalry like Mao Blade Qingqi, which was not conducive to attacking the city! Therefore, even if he was allowed to attack,
It doesn't matter if they get to Xihe City. Cao Cao can completely mobilize all his troops to recapture Xihe City! From this point of view, Zhao Yun spent so much effort on Xihe City. In the end, it would be better to attack Xihe City with open swords and guns from the beginning.
It’s more real!
After much deliberation, the two of them still couldn't come up with a reason, so in the end they had no choice but to give up. Xiahou Dun and Xun You discussed other related military affairs and asked Xun You to go back to rest. It was already midnight.
, with the help of the soldiers around him, Xiahou Dun took off the heavy armor on his body, stretched out, and the joints all over his body suddenly crackled. He had been traveling day and night in the past few days, and even Xiahou Dun was a little overwhelmed.
After yawning, Xiahou Dun blew out the oil lamp in the tent, got into bed directly, and fell asleep in a short time.
Not only Xiahou Dun, but also other soldiers in the camp fell asleep. Even the sergeants who stayed outside the camp on night watch were dozing off with their spears on their heads.
"Whoosh!" Two sounds broke through the air suddenly, and two black shadows were seen sliding through the night sky like lightning, heading straight for the throats of the two guards at the camp entrance! The long arrows shot through the two guards in an instant.
They only had time to make two muffled sounds before they fell to the ground. Then, several more black shadows flashed past, and in the blink of an eye, all the dozing guards were wiped out.
!
Of course, not all arrows hit the target so accurately. One of the arrows was obviously not accurate enough. It passed by the cheek of a dozing guard and was nailed directly behind the guard.
On the wooden pillar!
The guard just felt a chill on his cheeks and slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still sleepy. He even yawned and stretched, without realizing what was happening around him. After stretching, the guard
He squeaked, but he reached out and touched his cheek and muttered: "Damn it! How come there are mosquitoes just now! Damn mosquitoes! They disturbed my dream!"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, because his hand felt greasy when he touched his face. Then he put his hand in front of his eyes and looked at it with the torch next to him.
I was really shocked! This hand was actually full of blood! The guard's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Oh my god! What kind of mosquito is this?" This guy was so sleepy that he still can't stand it until now.
I thought it was a mosquito bite!
"Whoosh!" There was another sound that broke through the air. This time the arrow never deviated and hit the head of the confused guard directly. The confused guard didn't understand what happened until he died!
