Chapter 512: Blocking Hanzhong County

On the sixth day of the sixth month of Qianyuan, Yue Fei led the Yongning Guard and Tianning Guards to the Dingyuan Fortress in Hanzhong County. The next day, he launched an attack on the Dingyuan Fortress. However, since the Qin reinforcements had not arrived and had not yet completed the task of restraining the main force of the Qin army, the Deng army's offensive seemed fierce and attacked for two consecutive days, but it did not really pose too much threat to the Dingyuan Fortress.

Dingyuan garrison Nan Yun was also very puzzled by this. It is logical that the defenders of Dingyuan Fortress were only 2,000 people. Facing the 100,000 Deng troops, they could not defend for so long. Even if they could, they would never be so easy. However, the Deng army suddenly retreated when they were about to break the city. It was not surprising that it was like this every time, but it was not normal for every time to do so. But before Nan Yun thought about it, soldiers came to report that Wei Song led the army. Nan Yun did not dare to neglect it and arranged for the deputy general to coordinate the defense at the city. He went to greet Wei Song himself.

"The last general Nanyun welcomes General Wei!" Seeing Wei Song riding on his horse, Nanyun quickly saluted.

Since receiving the letter of help from Dingyuan Fortress, Wei Song did not dare to slow down for a moment. He rushed to Dingyuan Fortress along the way. Fortunately, when he arrived, Dingyuan Fortress had not yet been lost.

After seeing Nanyun, Wei Song turned over and dismounted, came to Nanyun and asked, "General Nan, what is the current situation of the battle? Did Deng's army launch an attack on Dingyuan Fortress?"

Nan Yun nodded and said, "After returning to the general, Deng Jun came to Dingyuan Fortress, he only rested for one day before launching a two-day attack on Dingyuan Fortress. However, he failed to break the city and the war was still in a state of anxiety."

"The Deng army failed to break the city for two days after attacking?" After hearing Nan Yun's words, Wei Song frowned and asked in confusion: "There are only two thousand defenders in Dingyuan Fortress, and the Deng army outside the city is estimated to be no less than 100,000. If it attacks for two days, it is really strange." The Deng army is dozens of times stronger than the Qin army. Even if the Dingyuan Fortress is as solid as a solid person, only two thousand people will be able to advance in two days under the fierce attack of Deng army.

"Yes, Mo Zheng was thinking about this question just now. With Deng Jun's strength, even if it is not good, it is impossible to get Dingyuan Fortress for several days. Mo Zheng also found it very strange." Nan Yun replied, Wei Song's question was also the confusion in Nan Yun's heart.

Wei Song was unable to understand what he thought hard, so he said to Nan Yun: "Let's go, take your book to the top of the city." Since he couldn't think of it, let's go and witness Deng Jun's situation first.

"Here!" Nan Yun responded, then led the way ahead and led Wei Song to the top of the city.

Wei Song climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Deng army camp that had been continuous for several miles outside the city, and he was worried and said, "Looking at the arrangement of Deng army camps, the person who commanded the army must be a master of military tactics. It seems that this general surnamed Yue must be Yue Fei. However, with Yue Fei's military performance as a god, how could he have no choice but to guard the Dingyuan Fortress with two thousand people?"

Just as Wei Song climbed to the top of Dingyuan City, Yue Fei got the news as soon as possible, so Yue Fei quickly summoned all the generals under his command to discuss.

"Everyone, the scouts came to report just now that a large number of Qin troops entered Dingyuan Fortress and were wearing the Wei army flag. It must have been Wei Song who led his army to arrive." Yue Fei said to everyone, but he did not feel disappointed because of the arrival of Qin reinforcements. Instead, he was a little happy. After all, everything was carried out according to the plan he had set.

"General, it seems that Wei Song has been trapped, but this is not enough. Wei Song has obtained the true teaching of Meng Zhan and is not so easy to deal with, especially our army has a population of 100,000. After two days of attack, he has not been able to take down Dingyuan Fortress. This is enough to arouse others' suspicion." Xi Zhicai said.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Military Master Xi said very much. It seems that in order to make Wei Song firmly believe that our army is going to attack Dingyuan Fortress, we can only take serious action. Otherwise, once Wei Song detects our army's intentions, the plan to capture Anyang City will be in trouble."

"Then General, will our army continue to continue the previous plan or really fight?" Zhang Fei asked, "Here is it that we will continue to do the same as before, fight, stop, or really attack?

"Of course it was really a fight. Wei Song brought more than half of the Qin army in the entire Hanzhong County. If we could really wipe out the Qin army here, it would be even easier for our army to seize Hanzhong County." Yue Fei smiled and said. As the chief general of the Qin army in Hanzhong County, the troops he brought must be the main elite of Hanzhong County. If we could destroy this elite force here, Hanzhong County would be at his fingertips.

"I will understand!" everyone responded.

"Mr. Xi, you will send someone to send a message to the West City to tell Murong Chui, saying that the main force of the Qin army has arrived at Dingyuan Fortress, and I will launch a fierce attack on Dingyuan Fortress soon. I will never let the Qin army leave Dingyuan Fortress. After he received the order, he will immediately lead the Shenwu Guard to the north and wait for an opportunity to seize Anyang City and Yangping Pass, and block the passage of Guanzhong into Hanzhong County." Yue Fei said to Xi Zhicai. Since the main force of the Qin army has arrived, it is time for the Shenwu Guard to stay in the West City to move.

"Here!" Xi Zhicai responded.

The next day, the Deng army launched a fierce attack on Dingyuan Fortress again. At first, the Qin army thought that the Deng army would retreat almost the same as before two days, but the fact was unexpected. The Deng army's offensive became more and more fierce, and there was no sign of retreat. The Qin army was caught off guard and almost broke the city by Deng army. Fortunately, Wei Song personally led his troops to supervise the battle on the top of the city and escaped.

When dusk approached, the Deng army retreated. After Deng army retreated, Wei Song breathed a sigh of relief and asked Nan Yun: "General Nan, what are the differences between Deng's offensive today and the previous few days?"

Nan Yun replied: "Return to General, although the attack of Deng's army was no different from the previous few days, the Deng's army would retreat after the attacks of the previous few days. Today, they fought until dusk and almost broke the city. This is very different from the past."

Wei Song carefully analyzed the changes in the Deng army's offensive and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the Deng army had all attacked a few days ago, with the purpose of attracting me to lead the army here so as to annihilate the main force of our army in one fell swoop." Wei Song thought he had seen through Deng army's intentions. In Wei Song's view, the reason why Yue Fei had always put pressure on Dingyuan Fortress before was that he had the advantage but could not break Dingyuan Fortress was definitely planning to attract himself to come here so as to annihilate him in Dingyuan Fortress in one fell swoop. After all, Dingyuan Fortress is much easier to fight than Nanzheng City.

"Then general, what should we do?" Nan Yun also felt that Wei Song's guess was very consistent with the current situation, so he asked, what should we do next?

"Hmph!" Wei Song sneered and said, "If you want to annihilate this general in Dingyuan Fortress, Yue Fei really regards the people of the world as a must. It is true that Deng's army has an advantage in strength, but Dingyuan Fortress now has nearly 30,000 elite troops. If you defend it for a few months, the Deng army will never be able to break the city. In a few months, it will be enough for the imperial army to come to aid. When the imperial army arrives, Dingyuan Fortress will be where Yue Fei fails to sink into the sand."

Wei Song felt that Yue Fei was really too whimsical. He wanted to wipe out himself in Dingyuan Fortress. Who gave him the courage? As long as he couldn't defend himself, with the 30,000 elite troops in the city and the strength of Dingyuan Fortress, it would be no problem to block the Deng army for several months. This time was enough for Guanzhong reinforcements to arrive. When the reinforcements arrived, it would be Yue Fei's doom. When Wei Song thought of Yue Fei, the invincible Deng's first general, was defeated in his hands, he felt excited.

"What the general said is very much. Yue Fei really thought that he could look down on the world so much as a top-ranking general in the world? Then let's give him a profound lesson." Nan Yun echoed.

"If the order is passed, without the order of our general, no matter how Deng's army provoked us, no one would be allowed to go out of the city to fight and threaten the military law to deal with it. Didn't Yue Fei want to wipe out the general? Then let the horse come over. I have to see if the general died of Dingyuan Fortress or if the general was defeated in Dingyuan Fortress." Wei Song said.

"Here!" Nanyun replied.

In the next few days, Yue Fei sent a lot of people to challenge Dingyuan Fortress, and even insulted Wei Song many times. Even Wei Song's uncle and the late Qin general Meng Zhan also humiliated many times, which made the Qin generals angry and asked Wei Song many times to go out of the city to fight, but they were all suppressed by Wei Song. In Wei Song's opinion, Yue Feiyue's like this means that Yue Feiyue is anxious. Since Yue Feifei is anxious, he should not be anxious. Besides, if there is any loss in cursing, let him scold him.

On June 11, in the 24th year of Qianyuan, a messenger entered the Xicheng with Yue Fei's military order and conveyed Yue Fei's military order to Murong Chui. Murong Chui was immediately overjoyed. Seeing that his brother guards made achievements on the front line, he and the Shenwu Guard could only stay in the Xicheng for the opportunity. It was not a good thing. Now he could finally move. And as long as he could successfully take down Anyang City, Yangping Pass, block the Xiegu Road, Chencang Road, and Ziwu Road into Hanzhong County, he would have made his first contribution. In the future, he and the Shenwu Guard would definitely receive a great reward.

After receiving the military order, Murong Chui did not stop for a moment and directly gathered troops to set off. Since Yue Fei led his army to leave Xicheng, Murong Chui and Shenwu Guards have been preparing and can set off at any time. So as soon as he received the military order, Murong Chui led the Shenwu Guards to set off in less than an hour.

On June 17, the 24th year of Qianyuan, Murong Chui led the Shenwu Guard to raid Yangping Pass. There were only a thousand defenders in Yangping Pass, and they were unprepared to face the sudden attack of the Deng army. There was no resistance at all. In less than an hour, the Deng army captured the pass.
