Chapter seven hundred and thirty five.
Wang Hou's arrival ultimately caused some changes to the history of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.
The Battle of Hanzhong had already broken out a year, because the main general guarding Guanzhong changed from Xiahou Yuan to Wang Hou. Although Wang Hou's military strength was stronger than Xiahou Yuan in history, he was an independent warlord and general after all, and he was even more awesome than An Lushan, the governor of the three towns of Lulong in Fanyang. The entire territory was pulled from the northeast to the northwest like a sausage. Liu Bei did not think that Wang Hou would defend Guanzhong to the death, so he only rested for a year and then supervised the Northern Expedition again.
While the war broke out in the southwest, Cao Cao also did not send troops to support Hanzhong as Liu Bei wanted. After returning to Yecheng, Cao Cao actually issued a manifesto to fight against Wu, summoning Yecheng Bafu and Youzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou, which was known as 200,000.
Cao Cao once again fulfilled his promise that he should have a son as Sun Zhongmou, and took a huge army to Jiangdong to educate his blue-eyed "son".
However, Cao Cao's move was considered prescient, because he had just issued a proclamation to fight against Wu, and Sun Quan actually launched a prescription to govern people first! While publishing a proclamation to fight against Cao, he scolded him for claiming that the King of Wei broke the test that Emperor Gaozu of Han could not be king unless he was Liu. One hundred thousand Wu troops sent troops from Jianye to cross the Yangtze River, and rushed to Cao Han in the core of Yangzhou.
Hefei City!
The battle in Hefei, which was one year late, finally broke out!
Under the city of Hefei, the overwhelming Wu army infantry carried large shields and military flags and arranged neatly in military formations, which were particularly brilliant, looking down from the horizon, like a moving forest that was moving.
However, facing this forest, only eight hundred Cao's cavalry, wearing chain armor, forged breastplates on their chests, and holding stirrups, carried chattering with Liaodong Xuanhua Axe, followed only a big banner and fought forward.
On the big banner, a single word "Zhang" shines brightly, walking with the mighty and twitching.
…………
Hanzhong.
In the narrow ancient horses and pavilions in the valley, the Shu army, wearing armored and clothed clothes, carefully moved forward with grass deep in the valley, and even the cavalry dismounted and led the war horses forward.
The terrain of Pingyang Pass was too narrow. In a short period of time, Liu Bei had been fighting against the women's fortunes and mobilized half of the male 100,000 people from Yizhou to carry out the 100,000 men here. He had been tentatively attacked several times in a row. The Shu army was not not badly fierce, but under the layers of Wanghou style trench defense in front of Pingyang Pass, not only was the casualties and injuries, but even the walls of Pingyang Pass were not touched. Liu Bei had not been defeated for so many years. He relied on his flexible and changeable use of troops and fled as long as he should, but he would fight if he should, no matter what despicable and noble it was.
With the map of Zhangsongba Shu, this Shu army of more than 5,000 people entered the vast Daba valley and tried to touch the back of Cao's army along this mountain path that had been abandoned since the Xin Dynasty.
However! Zhang Lu had been in Hanzhong for 30 years and advocated the Five Dogs of Rice to pretend to be a god and fool the people. One of the particularly important skills was medicine. There were thousands of herb collectors supported by Zhang Lu.
In the dense haystack, regardless of whether the rich green on the head was hindering the audio-visual view, wearing a green straw hat, on the slope of the hillside three or four hundred meters away from the Shu army, his eyes stared down gloomy.
Like in the TV series, the enemy swayed through the valley road and the hillside, and suddenly arrows fell like rain on it. There were ambushing battles with machine guns, which rarely appeared. After all, no matter what era, there was a military branch called scout!
They were also far away from the army and were more than 400 meters ahead. Several short-sized soldiers, carrying straw hats on their backs, holding spears and carrying waist knives, were also frightened by the guns in their hands, and they kept fumbled through the eyes of a group of cuckolds.
He didn't dare to come out, hid in the grass and endured the itchyness of mosquito bites. There was even a Cao army who was bitten by a snake and was covered with his mouth and could not be heard. When these Shu army scouts passed, the unlucky soldier had already foamed at his face and said nothing. He had a special difficulty to avoid the Shu army scout. Guo Huai, the general of the Wei army, was about to fumble forward with a knife, but he was still in a hurry to take a look, but the guide of the Hanzhong herb collector grabbed his sleeve and pointed his finger forward again.
After waiting quietly for a while, the deep canyon grass, there were a dozen smaller Shu troops. They didn't even carry a spear. They also wore a big straw hat full of thatch. They bent over and passed by again in a quiet manner, chasing behind the Shu troops exploring the way forward.
It has been a day since I squatted in this narrow valley! Guo Huai really had a lot of cold sweat flowing out from his back, and he almost failed.
So this time, he was even more calm and waited for more than ten minutes. It was not until the crackling sound of the straw sandals of the Shu army stepping on the weeds that he waved his slap.
The Wei Jun, who was lying in ambush, then he also shrank quietly and quietly.
When a piece of wood and metal crossbow is placed side by side, most people will think that metal is expensive. However, in fact, wood is much more expensive, because if a good bow is made, just a good wood can brush off 90% of the material. Then, make embryos in spring, apply glue in summer, paint in autumn, and mold in winter, add glue, glue and other materials. The wooden composite bow is both wasteful and laborious.
But after thousands of tests by alchemists and craftsmen, the most suitable metal is extracted, and then the wrought iron produced by the steel center is added in proportion to cast into a model, and finally it is enough to smash it with a water hammer.
The only disadvantage is that the wooden bow weighs five kilograms, and the steel bow may earn eleven or two kilograms.
There are three famous large smelting centers in Jiuyuan, Ma'anshan and Rizhao City. Therefore, there are many steel crossbows in the Cao army. This time, all the ambushed Wei army carried double bow steel crossbows.
With the creaking sound, the solid steel wire was stepped on and aimed at the unsuspecting Shu army brigade, and the eyes of each Wei army narrowed into a line.
Flutter...
In the valley, a rather fat magpies suddenly flew out of the grass in screaming. The Chen-style Shu army, who was originally marching, couldn't help but froze, and looked around in surprise and vigilantly.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Suddenly, he came out of the hiding and particularly tilted slope of the valley road. He glanced at the shocked Shu army, and thousands of ambushed Wei troops pulled off the crossbow.
Buzz ~
He personally took the crossbow and turned up. After Guo Huai was so restless for a day, amid the excited cry, a general of the Shu army holding Ma Shang and looking around suddenly fell down and was shot by his special long-tail crossbow arrow!
…………
Pingyang Pass!
"Report! General! General Guo Huai's troops defeated the Sichuan bandits of Ma Mingge, and killed the heads of the bandit general Chen Shi and returned!"
He had no idea that Wang Hou had killed three of them, and the army bit two of the Five Tiger Generals. Man Wu went to chop off Zhang Fei's big black head. Listening to the messenger's report, Xiahou Yuan nodded with satisfaction and laughed proudly.
"Liu Bei, a little trick of etiquette, what can I do to me?"
However, just as Xiahou Yuan was smug, Zhang He, who was looking at Shu Camp with a telescope, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but he always feels that something is wrong with the Shu army’s camp, and it seems... it’s much quieter!
