Pucheng is east of the river and north of Sushui. Sushui originates from the Shujia Valley in Dongshan, flows from northeast to southwest, merges into Zhangyang Pool east of Pucheng, and then flows westward into the Yellow River.
Cao Zhen was very careful. He knew that if he wanted to cross the river, a sufficient number of ships was the most important thing. Without enough ships, he would not be able to send enough soldiers across the river at one time, and he would not be able to threaten Zhao Yun.
Refueling transportation is tantamount to death. Cao Zhen, who has been fighting for many years, would not do such a stupid thing.
He considered that the Shu army might come to sneak attack, especially destroy his ships, so he put all the ships he collected in Zhang Yangchi and arranged a heavy guard. The troops guarding Zhang Yangchi exceeded the forces guarding his general, which was enough.
Proving the importance he attached to these ships.
It can be said that even if 20,000 people come to sneak attack and burn the ship, it is impossible to achieve what they want. The main force of 10,000 Forbidden Army is fully capable of defeating twice the number of invading enemies. Next, the two thousand cavalry will go on the run.
Chase and kill until the opponent is completely killed.
Adding together the armies of Wei Yan and Zhao Yun, there were only 20,000 people, and there were nearly 10,000 new soldiers among them. It was very difficult for those people to hold their positions well. It was impossible for them to carry out such a difficult tactical operation as a sneak attack.
Not qualified.
Therefore, Cao Zhen was relieved and focused his attention on how to break through Zhao Yun's blocking formation on the other side of the river. Outside Tongguan, Xiahou Ba's tentative attack had fully proved the strength of the Shu Han army in terms of ordnance. It can be imagined that
, Zhao Yun on the other side of the river will definitely have a stronger defensive force than Tongguan. Zhao Yun has no intention of hiding this from them. The high-standing thunderbolt poles on the position have clearly demonstrated this point.
Cao Zhen convened a meeting with the generals to discuss the advantages of ordnance against the Shu Han army. Everyone talked and talked, but no good way was found. Finally, Li Feng, the captain of the cavalry, stood up. "General, my subordinates thought there was only one way.
More and stronger ordnance to suppress the Shu Han army’s advantage in ordnance.”
Cao Zhen was very unhappy after hearing this. Everyone knows this truth, and I still want you to teach me? However, Cao Zhen did not get angry, because this Li Feng had such a great reputation and was a famous scholar. If he rashly rebuked him, he would be in trouble among the scholars in the future.
Reputation will be greatly affected.
Li Feng, courtesy name Anguo, was born in Zuofeng Yi and was the son of Wei Wei Li Yi. He followed his father Li Yi to Yecheng very early and became famous when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, on par with Wei Xi at that time. After the case of Wei Xi,
His father, Li Yi, didn't want him to follow in the footsteps of Wei Xi, so he kept him at home and studied behind closed doors. It was a long time later that Li Feng became an official and became a Huangmenlang. But his reputation rose again, but it was different from that of Soochow's descendant last year.
Related. At that time, Cao Rui had just ascended the throne and someone came to surrender from Soochow. He naturally wanted to meet him and asked Jiangdong who knew who famous people in China. Jiang said that he heard that there was Li Anguo, a famous scholar.
Cao Rui didn't know that Li Anguo was Li Feng, so he asked his left and right officials, and they all responded to Li Feng. Cao Rui was greatly surprised and promoted Li Feng to the rank of Cavalry Commander.
This time Cao Rui handed over all the main forces of the Forbidden Army left in Kyoto to Cao Zhen and asked him to lead them to attack Tongguan. Li Feng was one of the generals. In addition, he was from Feng Yi and wanted to attack Guanzhong, so he had a certain appeal.
, so Cao Zhen was very polite to him.
However, Cao Zhen was very dissatisfied with his opinion. This was simply a standard scholar's opinion, which sounded good but did not work.
"Could it be that Lieutenant Li is as good at mechanics as Wei Ba?" Xiahou Ba was very unhappy when he saw Li Feng's celebrity demeanor and couldn't help but taunt him.
"How can I pay attention to such things as craftsmen?" Li Feng smiled contemptuously: "The general should go to the supply camp to look for him."
Xiahou Ba laughed loudly and ignored him. Li Feng was also very unhappy and walked away regardless of General Cao Zhen's expression.
Xiahou Ba responded with a sneer.
The atmosphere in the tent was a little awkward for a while. Cao Zhen coughed softly, and Xiahou Ba's face was as dark as water, contemplating and silent. The others also looked at each other, not knowing what to say. After a while, Du Shu, the casual knight accompanying the army, coughed.
, stood up and said: "General, what Li Anguo said is not entirely false. If you want to restrain the opponent's ordnance superiority, this is the only way, there is no other way. Otherwise, our army will have to face the enemy after working hard to cross the river.
With such a fortified formation, the casualties must be staggering."
Cao Zhen said in a deep voice: "What kind of advice does Uncle Wu have?"
Du Shu is the son of Du Ji. When Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao, Du Ji was the governor of Hedong. He used the reserves of a county in Hedong to provide Cao Cao with military rations and made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Ma Chao. Later, he died while trying a ship in Mengjin. He was loyal to
A model of famous officials in royal affairs. Du Shu is from Jingzhao, and the Du family of Duling in Jingzhao is from a wealthy family in Guanzhong. This move with the army is also to appease the people after regaining Guanzhong.
"General, there is a Ma Jun from the Fufeng Ma family who is good at machinery. If he comes to the army, he will definitely be able to compete with Wei Ba."
"Fufeng Ma family?" Cao Zhen hesitated for a moment. Fufeng Ma family was Ma Chao's old clan. After he and Ma Chao escaped from Guanzhong, the Ma family was often implicated. He was silent for a moment: "Where is this Ma Jun now?"
"In Luoyang, I seem to be working as a doctor." Du Shu frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't remember what kind of official Ma Jun was. The Ma family had an embarrassing status, and Ma Jun had no knowledge except for his dexterity.
Whether it was a Confucian scholar who valued classics or a celebrity who valued elegance, he would not pay much attention to people like Ma Jun. If Du Shu had not mentioned the need to restrain the weapons of the Shu Han army today, Du Shu would not have been able to think of Ma Jun.
Cao Zhen nodded: "In this case, I will write to Your Majesty and send this person here immediately."
Du Shu responded and retreated. Seeing that Cao Zhen had made his decision, the generals also resigned one after another. Cao Zhen was in a good mood. During the day, he had just received news that Zhang He led 30,000 forbidden troops to come for reinforcements. Now he had found someone who could compete with Wei Ba.
He is a skilled craftsman. It only takes three or five days for this person to arrive and build various instruments. Whether it is Pubanjin or Tongguan, it will become relatively easy. By then, with his superior strength, it will not be difficult to enter the pass.
Cao Zhen has been in poor health these days, and fatigue has aggravated his condition. Seeing that several major problems will be solved, he finally had a good sleep. Unfortunately, this good mood was ruined before the next morning.
After waking up to the passionate sound of war drums, he received a message: enemy attack!
Cao Zhen was very puzzled: "Where did the enemy come from? Are they Zhao Yun's people?"
"No, it's Wei Yan's battle flag!"
"how many people?"
"About more than two thousand people."
Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put on his clothes and climbed to the top of the city. Seeing everything outside the city, he couldn't help but be surprised. In addition to the 10,000 forbidden troops around Pucheng, there were more than 3,000 soldiers from Hedong County who had just arrived.
, they brought a large amount of food and grass, and Cao Zhen arranged for five thousand people to set up camp with them. But now, those camps were ablaze, and two thousand enemies held torches and rushed into the supply camp, killing people and setting fires.
The shouts of killing were deafening.
A battle flag flickered in the firelight, with a big word "WEI" on it vaguely visible. Cao Zhen was so angry that he immediately climbed up the tower, beat the war drums, and directed the generals to encircle and suppress the enemy.
With only 2,000 men, Wei Yan actually killed him right before his eyes, which was unbearable but unbearable. Cao Zhen decided to take this opportunity to kill Wei Yan here to relieve a serious worry. Even if Wei Yan himself was not around, he would still kill these people.
Two thousand people stayed here to boost morale.
Under the command of the sound of war drums, the panicked Cao army immediately took action. Xiahou Ba led his troops and rushed out of Pucheng, directly attacking the Shu Han army who was charging in the camp. Li Feng, the cavalry captain, also rushed out of Pucheng and led
He has five hundred horses under his command, preparing to circle behind the enemy to intercept and pursue him.
Li Feng was a little nervous but also a little excited. His father Li Yi had followed Cao Cao for many years and was a well-known capable minister, rising to the rank of Weiwei. However, because of his lack of military exploits, he had never been able to become a marquis, which became an irreparable regret.
Because his reputation spread throughout Jiangdong, he was suddenly promoted from Huang Menlang to Cavalry Captain, commanding five hundred cavalry, and the opportunity to become a marquis suddenly appeared in front of him. Yesterday, he was ridiculed by Xiahou Ba in front of him, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Today I just take the opportunity to compete with Xiahou Ba and give a severe blow to the arrogance of these so-called generals.
Famous people are not only eloquent, but more importantly, knowledgeable. They can be generals when they go out, and they can be ministers when they go in. They are far beyond what you warriors who can only kill people can compare with.
Li Feng was thinking as he rode his horse out of the city gate. As soon as he rushed out of the city gate, the horse he stepped on suddenly neighed in fright and was not under his control, and stopped suddenly. Li Feng was shocked, and Gu
Unpleased with the beautiful view of being granted the title of Marquis in the future, he reined in the horse's reins tightly and clamped his legs around the horse's belly to prevent himself from falling off the horse.
Just as he was trying to control his horse, he suddenly heard a strange yet familiar voice.
"Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
Familiar because it is the sound of flying arrows. Although Li Feng has not been in the army for a long time, he is not unfamiliar with this sound. What is unfamiliar is that these sounds are dense and concentrated, almost connected together, as if there are hundreds or even thousands of crossbows.
Hands fired together.
Li Feng broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the swarms of archers. He looked up and, under the light of the torches in the hands of the knights, he saw branches of swift black shadows, as dense as locusts.
Before he could react, the dozen or so horses in front had been shot to the ground. The unprepared knights scrambled and huddled at the gate of the city. The knights behind did not know what had happened and had no time to collect their horses.
Some bumped into their companions in front, while others tried their best to turn their horses' heads. As soon as they stopped, they were knocked down by their companions behind them.
People at the gate of the city were shouting, and there was a chaos.
In the night outside the city gate, arrows flew one after another, causing the Wei knights to panic. They had to control the horses under their crotches and guard against the cold arrows in the dark. At the same time, they also had to beware of the same horses, lest they
He was knocked to the ground and attacked by a very close enemy. Even the most elite knight was caught off guard for a moment.
But the Cavalry Captain Li Feng, a famous scholar, who should have played a role at this time, was more panicked than anyone else. Just controlling the horse made him tired, let alone how to reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him. He made great contributions and was granted the title of Marquis. The great ambition of becoming a general had already flown into the sky at this moment. He only had one thought left, how to stop the white horse under his crotch from spinning in circles.
