Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 996

Chapter 996 Fall short

"General Liu wait a moment, according to Bao, if the general sends out hundreds of soldiers, he will still follow this road to the south, with more flags and drums, with a strong momentum, so as to confuse the thieves' eyes and ears, and cover our whereabouts."

Hearing this, Liu Hun nodded repeatedly:

"This plan is great."

Now follow the plan.

Sure enough, when the general of the Wei army at the mountain pass saw the suspicious soldiers sent by Liu Hun, he strengthened his defense and sent a fast horse to inform the prefect of Pingyang County.

The prefect of Pingyang County learned that the Shu captives really made a detour, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart:

Fortunately, I had expected this a long time ago, otherwise Yong'an City would be in danger!

As General Guan thought, the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong belonged to Sizhou, and there was Bingzhou as a barrier in the north, which already belonged to the rear of the Wei State.

Combined with the tense battle in Guanzhong, most of the troops and food in these two counties were transferred to Guanzhong.

At this time, the troops assembled by the two counties, plus the local county soldiers, totaled about 3,000 people.

The prefect of Pingyang County ordered 2,000 people to guard the south entrance of Guanjuejin Valley, and another 1,000 people to guard the east mountain pass.

After these days of fierce fighting, the Huns in the south suffered heavy losses, and were no longer able to resist the desperate attack of the Shu captives, so they had to withdraw from the valley.

It is no longer possible to refuse to retreat.

If you don't give in, and push these barely obedient Xiongnu Hu'er into a hurry, they directly throw themselves at the Shu captives on the opposite side, turn around and attack the mountain pass, that is not worth the loss.

Hu Er, holding a wooden and bone weapon, was able to block the Shu captives in Jin Valley for so long, which is already very rare.

But when the Shu soldiers approached the mouth of the valley, they did not rush over immediately.

It is probably because he has been playing hard for the past few days and needs a rest.

Standing on the top of the hill, looking at the Shu captives in the valley, the prefect of Pingyang County has sufficient confidence in himself to stick to it until the reinforcements arrive.

Hu'er the Hun has been able to block the opponent for so long in the valley, so there is no reason why he is worse than Hu'er the Hun.

In contrast, Liu Meng was a little worried:

"General, logically speaking, no matter how slow you take the mountain road to the east, you should come out at this time."

"Brother has no news so far, is there any trouble?"

General Guan, who was holding up his binoculars to check the Wei army camp in front of him, put down the binoculars and said lightly:

"No problem."

The Hu people in the south of the Xiongnu were driven out of the valley, and the arrangement of the Wei army at the mountain pass can be clearly seen under the spying of the telescope.

"Even if Liu Hun failed to get around to the rear, the bandit Wei can't stop us."

"You two troops have suffered a lot of casualties in the past few days, and then you will go to the rear to rest. This time, let the Yi Congjun go first."

Jinyang is governed by Bingzhou, and there are still some weapons in the arsenal.

Although the Liangzhou Army looked down on them, the Yi Cong Army really made a fortune.

Some of them even fell into the hands of Liu Meng and Liu Bao.

This is one of the reasons why they were able to force the southern Huns out of the valley.

Originally, everyone was equally poor, and most of their hands were made of wood and bones. How could they have expected that this time, the left and right would have a batch of standard weapons?

This is not talking about martial arts!

It was also the Liangzhou army that let the two Huns on the left and right stand on their heads and rushed all the way, and they also had several days of rest.

Soon, the Yi Congjun who had rested began to gather to the front one after another, ready to attack the Wei army camp on the mountain.

The place where Wei Jun was stationed was extremely tricky, just at the corner of Fenshui.

There is a mountain protruding from the east bank, and the distance between Fenshui and the mountain is only a few feet wide. The Wei army has set up a camp on the mountain.

At the same time, a barrier was built between the mountain and Fenshui.

The west bank of Fenshui, after the river turns, is full of cliffs.

If you want to keep going, unless you cross back to the east bank again, which is behind the hill.

Judging from this terrain, the Han army would not be able to pass through here safely if they did not forcibly capture that hill.

"Drink, drink, drink!"

Yi Congjun was in the front row, holding a big pole, drinking loudly, and started to move forward.

Some of the Wei army guarding the mountain were local county soldiers. They saw the banners of the Han army in the valley to the north covering the sun, stretching endlessly, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

Many people couldn't help but feel a little bit drummed.

Boss Wei Jun and other generals on the mountain kept cheering them up:

"Don't be afraid! Listen to the military order and throw stones down!"

Others are threats:

"Those who dare to retreat before the battle, beheaded!"

The Yi Congjun army holding a large pole has come to the foot of the mountain and started to attack.

There was only a bang, and the rolling stones on the mountain were thrown down one after another.

For a while, Yi Congjun was unable to dodge, and some of those who were hit were screaming in agony.

In the past few days, Liu Bao and Liu Meng also said that they had made great efforts, and built a pergola with their hands. Seeing this scene, they immediately smacked their lips.

It seems that General Guan knows how much his tribe is worth.

If I really want to let myself attack these mountains, I am afraid that the morale of the tribe will collapse after only a few attacks.

If you really let yourself encounter this kind of thing alone, you can either take a detour or retreat directly.

It's a little too strong like this Yi Congjun.

There is no need for the Han army to follow behind and supervise. After one wave retreats, the other wave will take the initiative to push up.

Not to mention that he is very different from those sloppy Hu people, even he is different from the Yi Congjun in their impressions.

When did the Yi Congjun of the Hu people become so organized and willing to give their all to the Han people?

This thought lingered in the stomachs of the two of them for a long time, and finally they only came to one conclusion:

This General Guan...leads the army well!

"Brother Jiang, this won't work, it's too difficult!"

A young man in the Yi Cong army, wearing leggings on his legs, and a cowhide belt around his waist, which was uniformly distributed when he graduated from the martial arts hall, and now has many wear marks.

Don't look at the soft black hair growing on his lips, but he is already the Sima of the Rebel Army.

The same senior brother who was also neatly dressed, looked at the Yi Congjun who was forced to retreat again, and nodded with a gloomy expression:

"What did General Guan say?"

"Nothing, just let's take this hill."

“That is to let us figure out our own way.”

The martial arts student who was called Senior Brother Jiang turned his head and glanced behind him.

Although he couldn't see where General Guan was, he knew that every move of the Yi Cong Army must be under the observation of General Guan.

"This is the first time our Jiangwu Hall has gone out with the army. We were attacked by someone in Yinshan, and we have already lost someone once."

"This time, if we can let the Yi Congjun take this mountain independently, at least we can save some face."

Little young man scratched his head a little irritably:

"The key is what to do now?"

"Call everyone over and discuss together to see if there is a better way."

"OK!"

Twenty or so young people dressed in the same dress quickly gathered together and discussed together.

Soon someone proposed a plan:

"How about crossing the water? First cross the cliff on the west bank, and then cross back to the east bank from there. You can go around to the back of this mountain."

"The thief is not a fool, how could he let you go ashore?"

"You know what an egg! This call hits the east and west..."

"Stupid! Doesn't Thief Wei know that the key is to hold the mountain? You have to go around such a long way, and you can't get to the shore. What's the use of this sound?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"The thief already knows where you are going to hit, no matter how loud you are, it is useless!"

"Not necessarily." The brother who had been squatting on the ground, using stones as a deduction, suddenly said, "According to General Guan, there are only two thousand Wei thieves on the mountain."

"If we send people to go around the mountain pretending to be aggressive, the Wei thief will send people to take precautions. In this way, it can be regarded as mobilizing the thieves and reducing the defenders on the mountain."

This senior brother is in the same class as Zhang Yuan, and also the youngest student in that class, but now he is a veteran among these students.

He was sent to the rebel army, which also meant to be the leader.

Since he opened his mouth, everyone stopped making a sound.

Brother stood up and clapped his hands:

"I'm going to ask General Guan for instructions now. You assign tasks yourself first. If General Guan agrees, I will execute them immediately when I come back."

"I lead the army across the water!"

Immediately, a thick and dark young man patted his chest, "I know how to use water, this Fen water can't drown me."

Someone immediately interjected:

"Then I will cover it. When the time comes, I will personally lead an attack to attract the attention of the thieves on the mountain. The acting must be more realistic."

"Okay! You two go to prepare right away, remember, be careful!"

When General Guan listened to the student's request for instructions, she gave him a surprised look.

To be able to come up with this method in such a short period of time, this young army Sima, at least in terms of planning before the battle, is better than ordinary generals.

"Go, do whatever you want, if you really can't, the Liangzhou Army will support you!"

General Guan handed him the telescope in his hand while speaking, "I will lend this to you temporarily, remember to return it after the war."

It's just a mere volunteer army, isn't it just for these students in the martial arts hall to practice their hands?

If they can really be trained, even if all these rebels are disabled, it will be worth it.

Otherwise, how could they be qualified to join the tiger and wolf division of the Liangzhou Army as grassroots school officers?

Thinking of this, she said again:

"The army built some water rafts a few days ago, and I will send someone to deliver them to you."

Brother Jiang got the approval of General Guan, and with such great support, how could he not understand the meaning of this?

I saw him excitedly say:

"General, let's see how the general will perform!"

Then after a quick salute, he turned around and ran away.

Looking at the figure who seemed a little too young, General Guan showed a faint smile on his face.

Knowing that General Guan agreed to the plan, the twenty or so young men were all very excited.

Someone muttered: "I see, General Guan has also considered this plan. Otherwise, why would he have set up the water raft in advance?"

Senior Brother Jiang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words: "It's possible!"

Yes, everyone who was excited at first took another shot of stimulant.

Who is General Guan?

In the Liangzhou army, the first person under the head of the mountain, General Guan did his part.

Even General Zhao had to step back.

"Hurry up! Let go, be careful!"

"Wow!"

The huge water raft was put into the water, causing a big wave.

The lead student was the first to jump up.

This time, to cross the water, you have to cross to the opposite bank first, then follow the bank to the bottom of the cliff, and then cross back to the east bank from there, you can go around to the side and rear of the mountain.

The reason why you can't go directly down the river is because not only will you be intercepted by the Wei thieves guarding the bank at the bottom of the mountain, but you may also be hit by arrows and crossbows on the mountain from a long distance.

Although crossing the water this time can be regarded as attracting the troops of the Wei thieves, they may try to forcefully cross back to the east bank.

But to minimize casualties, it is still necessary to minimize as much as possible.

The Wei army on the top of the mountain saw the Han army crossing the water from the very beginning, and they quickly understood.

Seeing through the binoculars the shadow of the bandit Wei on the top of the mountain swaying for a while, Brother Jiang understood that the goal of mobilizing the enemy to divide the troops had been achieved.

He couldn't help clenching his fist and waved it in the air.

At the time of the fierce battle, the bandit Wei mobilized and let Yi Congjun rush across the foot of the mountain in one breath.

Although he was forced to retreat down the mountain, it was enough to make him laugh out loud.

"quick!"

The Rebel Army, who had reached the bottom of the cliff, jumped onto the raft again and prepared to paddle back to the east bank.

Wei Jun, who had been waiting on the bank for a long time, began to raise his crossbow and bow.

Just wait until the raft has passed the middle of the water, "Puffy!"

The crossbow arrow came straight to the surface of the water with the sound of howling wind.

The leading student lowered his body and lay down on the raft. The sound of breaking through the air was endless, which made people startled.

"ah!"

There was a scream, and someone standing beside him was too high, accidentally shot an arrow, turned over and was about to fall into the water.

The young student had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly grabbed the paddle in his hand, and continued to paddle instead of him.

As for people... they fell into the water after being hit by an arrow, and they had no chance to survive.

Brother Jiang, who was holding the binoculars, finally noticed something was wrong on this side.

He stomped his feet resentfully, and cursed: "This madman, is he really crazy!"

Didn't you say it was good to attract the attention of thieves, why did you rush to the front line yourself?

If you really can't rush up, most of the possibilities are to go down the river, wherever you go...

"I shouldn't have let him go!"

Senior Brother Jiang regretted it a lot, but right now, the battle is fierce, and he has no way to stop Crazy Wang.

"It's here, it's coming!"

Crazy Wang seemed to be really crazy. His eyes turned red at some point, and he was staring at the thief Wei on the bank. He only knew how to paddle mechanically.

The arrow feathers became more and more dense, and several times, they brushed against his body.

In order to make it easier to cross the water, his body is covered with a leather armor. At such a short distance, he would be hit by arrow feathers, and even if he was not dead, he would be seriously injured.

"Boom..."

General Wei, who was commanding the Wei army to prevent the Yicong army from going ashore, seemed to hear thunder.

He subconsciously looked towards the south, and saw behind the mountain pass, a river valley that suddenly became wider, and a cavalry army was galloping up against the current and galloping towards this side.

"Where is the cavalry? Has the reinforcement arrived?"

Before he could figure it out, the cavalry was getting closer and closer. The red flag was dazzling red!

"Shu captive!"

"The Shu captives are coming from behind!"

"It's the cavalry of the Shu captives!"

"Wow!"

Crazy Wang's raft has rushed to the shore, he jumped up, a tall and strong dark young man, holding a long knife, shouted:

"Kill the thief!"

"Boom!"

The strange thing is that after he shouted loudly, the Wei thief on the bank seemed to be scared out of his wits, and immediately rushed away!

At this time, he saw not far from his right, the familiar iron cavalry was sweeping towards him.

The thief Wei who ran away only hated his parents for losing two legs, and wanted to escape back to the mountain before the cavalry rushed over. Who would care about him who rushed to the shore?

Feeling the vibration of the ground, Crazy Wang held up his knife blankly, watching his cavalry roaring towards him, and began to harvest those Wei thieves who hadn't escaped.

Recalling that he had worked so hard to cross the water for so long, but it was all in vain. In the end, he only ate ashes. He suddenly jumped and cursed:

"Into your mother! Give me a chance?"

What responded to him was the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves, billowing and flying...
