Chapter 0819 stalemate(2/2)
This attack by the Wei army's sudden cavalry was already consumed by the spear team before the Mo Dao team came on stage.
The Hu cavalry in the Han camp quickly spread out, swimming around from both sides, chasing the Wei cavalry who wanted to escape from time to time.
But soon, the second wave of Wei army's assault cavalry rushed up.
The intensity of the match on the second day far exceeded Guan Ji's expectations.
This made her involuntarily tighten her grip on the telescope in her hand.
Fortunately, there is a treasure like Alang, otherwise I would have been caught off guard by Cao Zhen today.
Guan Ji was rejoicing, but Cao Zhen started to become irritable.
Throughout the day, he mobilized a large number of troops and concentrated on the same position of the Shu captives to continuously attack.
Several times, it was clear that the front camp of the Shu captives could be disrupted, but for some unknown reason, the soldiers who rushed into the formation were driven out again and again.
This feeling is like seeing victory right in front of you, just a little bit closer.
But this point keeps slipping out, which makes people really frustrated.
At night, Cao Zhen couldn't sleep, so he went out to inspect the camp.
But I saw that although the morale of the soldiers was not reduced, compared with the previous few days, the spirit of victory was gone.
It can be seen that today's casualties have had some impact on the soldiers after all.
"Da Sima, why don't we rest for a day tomorrow and then fight again?"
Guo Huai suggested.
"no!"
Cao Zhen flatly refused, "Our army's morale is quite good now. I think that Feng Thief, who traveled a long way and fought fiercely for two days, must be much more exhausted than us."
"Let these soldiers go down tomorrow, and then bring the battalions at the back up and charge into the formation again."
The match on the third day was exactly the same as the second day.
Looking at the military formation of the Shu soldiers on the opposite side, they are always close to being broken, and victory is right in front of them.
However, the soldiers who rushed in were driven back again and again.
The military formation set up by Feng Thief is like a huge wheel, constantly turning, throwing out everything that wants to join it.
Obviously there are always breakthroughs time and time again, but the final breakthrough is never visible.
No matter which direction he chooses, Shulu seems to be always prepared and waiting there ahead of him.
This made him feel helpless.
So Cao Zhen began to become a little irritable: Could it be that there are some tricks from Shu captives in our army?
But it shouldn’t be. Even if there are fine craftsmen, it’s impossible to send fine craftsmen to every camp, right?!
The reason why he chose to raid Longyou in October was naturally considered.
Because it must have snowed in Longyou in November.
As long as you can enter Longyou, it doesn't matter whether you can defeat the Shu captives in Longyou.
The important thing is to establish a foothold in Longyou.
It was only until the end of October or November that when it snowed in Longyou, the Shu captives in Hanzhong were unable to send a large army to reinforce Longyou.
The two sides can only call a truce and wait until the snow melts in spring next year before fighting again.
Then the Wei Dynasty can take advantage of the truce to strengthen defenses and regain a foothold in Longyou.
Unexpectedly, the Feng thief on the opposite side was even faster than him and attacked An Ding directly.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen couldn't help but cursed: Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun are two idiots!
One was captured alive, and the other surrendered the city. Anding was occupied by Feng Thief as quickly as possible, completely disrupting his plan.
Because he could go north along Jiazhong Road to Xiaoguan and cut off Feng Thief's escape route.
Likewise, if you don't take care of the Feng thief who has already occupied Anding, as long as you enter Longyou from Qian County, Feng thief will definitely go south along the middle road and threaten Qian County.
At that time, your own path will be in danger.
Now he is leading the army north to cut off Feng's return route, and then forces him to come forward, thinking that he can break it in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, it turns out to be a stalemate.
If the Feng thief is not eliminated, it will be difficult to get down from Xiao Pass.
Cao Zhen couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of this.
So he organized the elite soldiers he had into ten teams, and took turns attacking the Shu camp every day.
That's not the only thing that made Cao Zhen irritated.
Because the batch of grain and grass that was supposed to be delivered from Qian County did not arrive on time.
This time he led the army from Qian County in a hurry and did not bring much food and grass.
In addition, Qian County is already heavily deployed with troops and has a lot of food and grass accumulated. The food and grass can be delivered in batches, so there is no need to worry too much.
But if the food and grass are not delivered on time, it is a serious crime at this time.
"The last general is guilty, Grand Sima. This time on the middle road, a group of thieves appeared out of nowhere and attacked the grain road."
"The batch of grain and grass that the last general was responsible for transporting was attacked at night and almost all was burned."
The general of the Wei army who was responsible for transporting grain was completely black and black, and even the black ash on his face was not wiped off. He cried to Cao Zhen in tears.
Cao Zhen, who was waiting to lead the army to fight against Feng Thief again, looked at this guy who came over overnight and felt that a burst of anger was about to burst out of his chest.
"Where did the thief come from back to the middle road?"
Cao Zhen asked sharply, pressing the hilt of the sword with his right hand, almost unable to restrain his impulse, and cut off the man's head directly.
"The general doesn't know either. I only know that this group of thieves is extremely capable and beyond the reach of ordinary thieves. They have strong bows and crossbows, long arrows and heavy arrows. They are extremely powerful. I'm afraid they have a lot of background."
Cao Zhen was already extremely annoyed, but when he heard the words "long arrows and heavy arrows", his heart suddenly jumped.
These days... there are a group of thieves from Shu on the other side. Shouldn't they use long arrows and heavy arrows?
Thinking of this, he quickly asked someone to bring up two arrows.
These two arrows, one for a bow and one for a crossbow, both came from Feng's army.
In the past few days, once the cavalry, infantry and infantry in the army were hit by such arrows, they would all pierce through their armor and pass through their bodies. Only armored men in the army could possibly block them.
Its format is different from ordinary arrows.
When the grain transport officer saw it, he quickly shouted: "Yes, yes, yes! These are the arrows!"
"That thief is not only good at sneak attacks, but he also comes prepared. He even brought oil with him to make rockets..."
Oil? Rocket?
Cao Zhen thought of all the rumors about the Battle of Longyou. He gritted his teeth and finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Thief Feng!"
He finally couldn't control the anger in his heart, drew his sword, and struck directly. The cold air passed through the grain transport officer's hairline, making him tremble with fear, and he quickly fell down: "Da Sima, please spare your life!"
"Come here, pass the order, let the soldiers have a full meal tomorrow, and raise the army to attack the camp!"
Although he didn't know how Feng Thief sent people to return to the middle road, Cao Zhen understood the consequences.
If this batch of grain and grass can be burned today, then the batch of grain and grass tomorrow may also be burned.
The longer I delay here, the greater the pressure on the army's food supply.
Knowing that Feng Thief had a side force threatening his food route, Cao Zhen had only one idea now, which was to defeat Feng Thief as soon as possible and capture Xiao Pass.
Then reorganize the army and consolidate the Guanzhong defense line.
As for whether we can cross Longshan in the end, it all depends on God's will.
"Is Cao Zhen crazy?"
Even the military mascot Feng Junhou could notice that the Wei army's charge was different from the previous days.
In the past, they chose to break through the central key points, but now they pressed the entire army and launched an all-out charge.
This is clearly an attempt to fight a bad war and use numbers to bring down our own side.
If he fights like this, even if he can defeat himself, he may not have the strength to climb over Long Mountain.
Because of this style of play, just resting and recuperating after the war will take a lot of time.
Guan Ji also frowned, and after a while, she slowly exhaled:
Chapter completed!
