The five generals and accompanying civil servants immediately went to make preparations separately.
Guo Peng's plan was to use Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun as the decisive forces to rush towards Hanzhong as quickly as possible, enter the Hanzhong Basin, arrive at Nanzheng, and join Pang Xi. As long as Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun arrived, even some losses would be enough.
The appearance of the real Wei army is much stronger than the fake Wei army under Pang Xi.
The only problem now is not the issue of grain and fodder. If there is a problem with grain and fodder, Guo Peng will send out auxiliary soldiers and civilians. Even if they run with grain on their backs, they will send the army into Hanzhong. Arrive in Hanzhong.
Chapter 614 Long Live the Three Leaders
The only uncertain thing about this military operation is how long Pang Xi can last.
As long as Pang Xi can persist for a month... no, for more than half a month, Guo Peng is confident that Zhao Yun and Zhang He can rush to Hanzhong. As long as Pang Xi can persist, Hanzhong will be taken.
But if Pang Xi couldn't persist, the problem would be very serious, and the army would lose ground.
However, marching and fighting has the connotation of gambling. No matter how well prepared and how strong the military is, accidents cannot be avoided. There is an element of gambling. If you dare not gamble, don't fight.
Whether Liu Zhang dares to bet is a question.
Anyway, Mr. Guo has never been afraid of gambling, and every step he takes has gambling elements in it.
Fortunately, he won the bet, and God has mercy on him, a despicable and shameless gambler.
This time, I want to bet again, the bet is [-] troops, and the entire Hanzhong!
Liu Jiyu, do you dare to bet with me? !
Guo Peng's eyes crossed the steep Qinling Mountains, crossed the Hanzhong Basin, and went straight to Chengdu.
At this moment, Liu Zhang, who was far away in Chengdu, finally learned that it was not the Wei army who attacked Hanzhong and Nanzheng and beat him to the brim, but Pang Xi's army in disguise. Pang Xi didn't know how he was going to attack The news, the first to act first.
Liu Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then filled with endless regret and resentment.
He yelled several times.
Pang Xi! ! ! !
After planning for so long, and seeing that it was about to succeed, it was just a matter of drinking, but Pang Xi suddenly turned the tables!
Liu Zhang doesn't care who told the secret to overturn his car, he wants Pang Xi to die.
Since it wasn't Guo Peng, he wasn't so afraid.
What he was afraid of was Guo Peng, not Pang Xi, so he shouldn't be afraid of Pang Xi!
Wu Yi asked Liu Zhang to increase his troops to go north, and he wanted to take back Hanzhong. This plan was approved by Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was so angry and felt too shameful, even he couldn't accept this shame.
So he decided to send general Gao Pei to lead the army to join Wu Ban, the guard of Baishui Pass, and go north to support Wu Yi.
Because of the loss of 1 troops in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang also lacked an army at the moment, and Chengdu only had more than [-] to less than [-] troops. Liu Zhang urgently ordered the expansion of the army and recruited strong men to join the army with money.
If you can't recruit them, you can recruit them by force. Even the weak Liu Zhang can use the traditional skill of pulling strong men.
So in less than half a month, Liu Zhang urgently assembled [-] soldiers and horses around Chengdu, and handed them all over to Gao Pei, who would lead these troops and head north decisively.
Gao Pei led his troops northward to Baishui Pass, joined Wu Ban, and the two led their troops northward to Yangping Pass.
At this moment, more than a dozen wars have occurred in the Yangpingguan area.
Wu Yi and Yang Huai led troops to try to attack Pang Xi at Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain but failed. Instead, Pang Xi gathered thousands of troops and put them on the battlefield in time. The troops overwhelmed Wu Yi and Pang Xi, and a wave of counterattacks reached Yangping Outside the gate, and then stopped.
After all, Pang Xi was a veteran general, and he still had his own way of leading troops in battle. Dongzhou soldiers dared to fight in order to survive. Fazheng planned a few small tricks and they all succeeded, weakening Wu Yi and Yang Huai's troops.
Wu Yi and Yang Huai had difficulty advancing, so they had to retreat to Yangping Pass and wait for reinforcements.
As long as the reinforcements came, Wu Yi would have enough troops to surround Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain and break through Mianyang County directly.
Every time they attack, they are attacked by Pang Xi's troops on both sides of the strait relying on the terrain. The road to march is not smooth and they cannot resist, which makes Wu Yi very aggrieved.
On the sixth day of March, when Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun's army was still marching hard in Luogu Road, reinforcements sent by Liu Zhang arrived.
Gao Pei and Wu Ban led [-] reinforcements to Yangping Pass, and the army in Yangping Pass was immediately abundant. Wu Yi was very happy and immediately made a plan to feed the army for a day and build up their strength.
Then on the third day, on the eighth day of March, Wu Yi ordered the whole army to attack.
Although Pang Xi ordered the army to still use the banner of the Wei army, Wu Yi was not afraid at all, and directly led the army to attack.
Gao Pei and Wu Ban each lead an army to besiege Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain. Wu Yi and Yang Huai lead an army to block Pang Xi's rescue force.
The two armies fought for two days and one night. Tiandang Mountain fell first, followed by Dingjun Mountain. Pang Xi was unable to stop Wu Yi and Yang Huai's troops from rushing forward, so he had to lead his army back to Mianyang County and defend the city. Even so, they couldn't stop Wu Yi's attack.
Wu Yi used his superior force to break through Mianyang County on March [-]th, occupied it, and continued to advance. Pang Xi was defeated and returned all the way to Nanzheng. The army suffered heavy losses, and one of his sons died on the battlefield outside. , like a lost dog.
As a last resort, relying on Nanzheng's city walls and Fazheng's prepared city defense system, Pang Xi barely stopped the defeat. He repelled Wu Yi's three attacks in the city defense battle, stabilized his position, and prepared to start a tug-of-war.
Wu Yi also knew that Nanzheng could not be obtained suddenly, so he slowed down the attack frequency and attacked the city slowly. Anyway, he was not afraid that Pang Xi would be able to escape.
Pang Xi is waiting to die, there is no other way to go.
Pang Xi was also very anxious, frightened and frightened. He looked east all day, looking forward to the stars, the moon, and Guo Peng to rescue him.
"Guo Zifeng won't stop coming, will he?"
Pang Xi asked Fazheng this way more than once.
"Guo Zifeng will definitely come, he won't leave Hanzhong alone, as long as we persevere, he will definitely come!"
While Fazheng encouraged Pang Xi, he also murmured, wondering if Guo Peng would really come.
If you really don't come, isn't it the end of the calf?
Everyone really died in vain.
Wu Yi confidently commanded the army to attack the city, surrounded Nanzheng on all sides, and attacked fiercely with full momentum. As a result, Wu Yi never expected that on March [-], the real Wei army came.
An army under the banner of the Wei Army came from the direction of Chenggu County in the east. There were not many people, it seemed that there were only about 1 people, but their combat effectiveness was very strong. There were no cavalry, but all infantry, wearing standard armor. He rushed over with spears in formation.
That's right, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, hurried and rushed, and finally arrived in Hanzhong, where they were supported by the troops arranged by Pang Xi in Chenggu County, and received heavy weapons such as armor and shields. He rushed to Nanzheng to rescue Pang Xi.
The march was not without casualties.
In order to rush on the road as soon as possible, the soldiers lost more than 1000 people due to the difficult road, about 600 auxiliary soldiers and peasants who transported food, more than [-] livestock such as horses, mules and donkeys, and more than [-] carts were damaged.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun had experienced the hardships of the march, and they often sighed thanks to the leading party along the way.
Otherwise, if the army really attacks Hanzhong head-on, it is unknown how many soldiers and logistics personnel will be lost to send enough soldiers to Hanzhong.
Moreover, if the Shu army guards the crossing, they will definitely deploy troops on the superior terrain to obstruct the march of the Wei army. There is no shortage of places on these marching roads. According to Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun's estimation, if they confront the enemy head-on, they will 1 people may not be able to walk out of Luogu Road alive.
Fortunately, there is a leading party, long live the leading party!
The moment they marched lightly to the Hanzhong Basin and set foot on the flat ground, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xi felt reborn and were very happy.
After entering Chenggu County, I ate something, drank water, and took a short rest. It felt like being reborn.
Pang Xi prepared a lot of military supplies here, as if he guessed that the Wei army would not bring heavy equipment when he came. The Wei army got sufficient supplies here, recovered quickly, and then learned about the current battle situation , Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun made a decisive decision and immediately led their troops to Nanzheng to break the siege.
Chapter 615. 620 Si Pang Xi and the others were immediately filled with awe and longing for Guo Peng
Zhao Yun and Zhang He were very fast. When Wu Yi led his army to attack Nanzheng, Zhao Yun and Zhang He suddenly led their troops out.
At that time, Wu Yi thought it was ordinary Dongzhou soldiers who came to rescue the siege, and he didn't take Wei Jun's banner seriously at all. He ordered Yang Huai to lead a partial division to fight, and regarded it as a siege to help.
As a result, as soon as the two armies fought head-on, the Shu army led by Yang Huai was overwhelmed by Zhao Yun and Zhang Ying.
The Wei army stabbed fiercely with their spears, and the shield soldiers roared forward desperately with their big shields on their backs. The Shu army had no time to resist.
The Shu army was killed by the Wei army in large numbers while retreating, and many people fell down, disrupting the formation, and some simply turned around and ran away when they saw something was wrong.
Wu Yi didn't react at all, Yang Huai's side was already defeated.
Wei Jun desperately attacked forward, sharp spears stabbed continuously, and the sword shield hand was already slashing forward with a ring-headed knife, cutting the Shu army back in disorder, not an opponent at all.
The defeated army retreated in large numbers to the Shu army camp under Nanzheng City. Wu Yi never imagined that this army was so strong in fighting that it defeated Yang Huai directly.
Wu Yi began to feel that something was wrong, so he personally led the army to rectify the rout, beat the drums to cheer, and forced the rout to resist.
This time it was Wu Yi himself who was blown away. In about two sticks of incense, the Wei army pushed the Shu army back a long way, directly to the city of Nanzheng.
At this time, the gate of Nanzheng City suddenly opened, and Pang Xi personally led the army to fight out with his helmet on.
This is not a close fight at all, this is a massacre, a one-sided massacre.
Wu Yi felt so broken during the retreat.
He didn't stand up to the attack of this army at all. This army was too fierce, and the Shu army would be defeated at the first touch if they fought against them.
They moved forward step by step, and the Shu army retreated step by step. The army formation quickly collapsed and fell into a state of being slaughtered. He led his soldiers desperately to restore the situation, but found that it was impossible.
The [-] Shu army was defeated at the foot of Nanzheng City, and the army was defeated like a mountain. A large number of defeated troops retreated towards Yangpingguan.
Ten miles along the way, there were corpses of the Shu army's defeated soldiers everywhere.
Wu Yi suffered a disastrous defeat, losing troops and generals. On the way to retreat, Yang Huai, the former Yangping gatekeeper, was overtaken by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun pierced his body with a spear, and Yang Huai died tragically on the spot.
After the war, at least more than 3000 people were killed in the battle, and most of the others were disbanded. Among them, a group was captured, and the number of captured soldiers was seven to eight thousand.
The number seems small, but the important thing is that the morale of the army has collapsed, and they are afraid of being beaten. After escaping to Yangping Pass, they shut themselves up, trembling, and dare not take a step out of Yangping Pass.
Many generals also begged Wu Yi to retreat as soon as possible. It was enough to keep Baishui Pass, but not Yangping Pass. Hanzhong was no longer a territory they could compete for. If they continued to fight, it would be over.
Wu Yi didn't know why the Dongzhou soldiers suddenly became so powerful, and he still didn't know that it was the real Wei Jun who came to kill them.
He felt strange and ashamed, and didn't want to lose Yangping Pass. Instead, he forced the army to occupy Tiandang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain. He wanted to keep Yangping Pass, continue to fight, retake Hanzhong, and live up to Liu Zhang's expectations of him.
Wu Yi continued to act and wanted to fight again, regardless of the collapsed hearts of the generals and soldiers of the Shu army, so this did not prevent the Wei army from winning a big victory.
The Shu army suffered a disastrous defeat, the Wei army won a great victory, broke the siege of Nanzheng, joined Pang Xi, and established the victory.
Pang Xi was overjoyed, and felt extremely grateful to Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun who came to support them.
"General Zhao and General Zhang's life-saving grace, Pang Xi will never forget it!"
Pang Xi bowed to Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun said that there was no need to do so.
"We marched under the order of Duke Wei. If General Pang wants to thank you, he should thank Duke Wei."
Zhao Yun said so.
Pang Xi nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, I want to thank Duke Wei, thank Duke Wei... Where is Duke Wei?"
Pang Xi asked.
"Duke Wei and I did not march together. We will take the fastest Luogu Road. Duke Wei will lead the main force to Ziwu Valley and we will arrive soon."
Zhao Yun replied.
"So that's the case, then... shall I wait in Nanzheng and wait for Duke Wei to arrive before advancing together, or should we go ahead and capture Yangping Pass?"
Looking at the powerful Zhao Yun, Pang Xi was somewhat psychologically weak, and took the initiative to hand over the dominance, not daring to show his dominance in front of Zhao Yun.
Before, he was arrogant because of Liu Zhang's mediocrity and cowardice, but now he is sensible because of Guo Peng's strength and Wei Jun's strength.
The powerful forces and even the subordinate generals are very strong, which opened Pang Xi's eyes.
Regarding this question, Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Yun.
Zhang He thought for a while.
"Duke Wei's order did not say to attack Yangping Pass. Our army traveled a long distance, the road was difficult and dangerous, and the soldiers were very tired. In order to understand the siege of Nanzheng, we marched without rest. Now the soldiers' physical strength has reached their limit. It is not suitable to continue to attack Yangping. close.
On the other hand, although the Shu people were defeated, they still had their strength. They were guarding Yangping Pass, and there was danger to rely on. They could not be conquered overnight. Therefore, the last general suggested that it is better to take a rest and let the soldiers recover their strength. after the discussion. "
As Zhao Yun's deputy, Zhang He said so.
Zhang He is very cautious, and after he transferred from Yuan Shao's subordinates to Guo Peng's subordinates, he was even more cautious and did not dare to overstep in the slightest.
Even though Guo Peng was able to use him highly, he did not dare to be complacent, and was still very cautious. Guo Peng admired his cautious character, so he was appointed as Zhao Yun's deputy, and asked Zhao Yun to discuss with Zhang Yun more often.
Zhao Yun felt that what Zhang He said was reasonable, so he decided to do so. He ordered the army to rest on the spot, rest in Nanzheng, eat, take a bath, and recover their strength, and then asked Pang Xi for meat and rice.
Of course Pang Xi gave it, the horses that died in battle could be used, and the inventory in Hanzhong could be used. If it was not enough, he immediately ordered his subordinates to go hunting in the mountains, and he would feed Wei Jun to enjoy it if he didn't eat it himself.
When eating meat, Pang Xi was surprised to learn that Wei Jun was not trying to trick him, but that Wei Jun's daily diet included meat.
