Chapter 961 Entering the Wudu
Mi Fang hurriedly said: "Jiange and Yangping Pass are still sticking to each other."
Pang Tong clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, the situation is already a critical moment. We must give up Wudu County, otherwise we will lose everything!"
Liu Bei was very unwilling to give up, but at this moment, he felt that there was no other way except retreating.
He frowned and said firmly: "Immediately, order the three armies, Yide led the cavalry to cut off the rear, and the rest of the troops quickly retreated to Xichuan, and withdraw all the people and materials as much as possible! Furthermore, order Yangping Pass and Jiange to be strictly guarded and must not make any mistakes! Let Yun Chang immediately rush to Jiange and Yangping Pass, and there must be no mistakes!"
The sun rose from the east, and Zhuge Liang climbed up to the high place early as usual to look at the situation of Sanguan, but found that the Sanguan this morning seemed completely different from the past.
At this time before, the city of Sanguan was crowded with people, with swords, guns, swords and halberds arranged in an orderly manner, completely looking like they were waiting for the battle.
However, at this moment, there were few figures coming into view, and the flags inserted at the top of the city were also listless.
Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and his eyes showed a joyful expression, and he murmured: "It must be Meng Qi who succeeded!"
Immediately led the personal soldiers back to the tent and sent orders to beat drums and gather generals.
Not long after, the Qin army rushed out of Langya Valley and drove out of the Disaster Pass, and soon entered the Sanguan Pass, and set up a military formation to launch a fierce attack.
The Qin army rushed towards Chengguan like a tide, but there was no reaction at the city gate. After a while, the Qin army's attacking troops spread onto the city wall like an ant colony.
Soon, the door was closed and opened, and an officer rushed to Zhuge Liang and clasped his fists and said, "You are the military advisor, there is no one in the city, and there are all scarecrows on the top of the city, and all the enemy troops have retreated!"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "It's true as I expected!"
Then Zhuge Liang led the army into Sanguan.
After entering the San Pass, Zhuge Liang left five thousand elite troops to guard the city pass, and then led the other main forces south to Wudu.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang sent a large number of scouts to explore the way forward in order to be cautious. Soon after, the scouts reported: "Qijian advisor, Wudu and surrounding counties and towns are driving the people southward, and there is chaos everywhere!"
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frowned and murmured to himself: "It's true that it's just as the lord said, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you seem to be kind and righteous, but in fact you are just selfish!"
The general next to him couldn't help but say, "Military advisor, let's pursue it quickly! Save as many people as you can!"
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Pang Shiyuan is extremely wise and not inferior to me. If he pursues rashly, he may not only not save the people, but also may encounter unexpected problems!"
He paused, "For the sake of the present, it is to recover Wudu as soon as possible!"
Then the opponent's generals shouted: "I ordered all the troops to enter the Wudu quickly, and the cavalry were on both wings, and the army was ready to support the army at any time!"
The generals held their fists and agreed and ran down immediately.
After a while, more than 40,000 troops marched rapidly, and the six thousand war cavalry were divided into two teams, and they advanced southward along the paths on both sides of the army.
Half a day later, the army led by Zhuge Liang had already arrived at Sangliu Town, which was only twenty miles away from Wudu County.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the Sangliu Town surrounded by these mountains was dim.
Seeing that it was too late, Zhuge Liang was preparing to order the army to rest for one night and march again the next day, so he ordered the army to enter Sangliu Town.
Zhuge Liang sat down under the largest willow tree in the village. At this time, a general rushed over to report: "Qi Bian, there is no one in the village, this is an empty village."
Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "In the war era, people's livelihood is difficult. The people either fled or were kidnapped by Liu Bei's army!"
Then he said to the general: "If you pass the order, no one is allowed to destroy the houses."
The officer held his fists and agreed and went immediately.
At this time, the sun had set and the sky and the earth were dim.
Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at the surrounding mountains and frowned slightly.
At the same time, more than 10,000 cavalry led by Zhang Fei, who was in charge of the rear, had secretly arrived at the vicinity of Sangliu Town and ambushed.
In the planning of Pang Tong and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei's cavalry was only responsible for covering the retreat of the army and the people, and did not have the task of ambushing it. However, after receiving a scout report, Zhang Fei decided to ambush Zhuge Liang without authorization.
In this battle, their Liu Bei's army lost even after losing their entire Xiliang. Zhang Fei was so depressed that he insisted on killing Zhuge Liang to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Zhang Fei immediately looked at the famous village and town in the distance, shouting at the dense hillside, "Snatch the time to rest, and follow me in the middle of the night!"
The generals and officials agreed with their fists and went down one after another.
Seeing that everyone was going down, Zhang Bao couldn't help but whisper to Zhang Fei: "Father, the ambush Zhuge Liang is not included in the order of the military advisor.
Let's act without permission..." Zhang Fei glared at him and said, "Don't listen to the military advisor in everything! What the military advisor said is not all correct! As generals, we should have our own opinions! On the battlefield, make a decision at the moment! If we ask the military advisor for instructions in everything, we will be a big fucking battle!"
Zhang Bao felt that his father was very reasonable, so he couldn't help but grin and said, "It's still what my father said!"
Zhang Fei said: "You go down and take a break, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the middle of the night! This Qin army of Lu Bu is different from other troops. Even if it is unprepared, it will be no easy task for us to win!"
Zhang Bao nodded.
Time passes by without realizing it.
Zhang Bao opened his eyes and found that the moon was already in the middle. He immediately thought of the task tonight and jumped up.
I saw my father standing not far away and smiled and said, "I'm awake! It's time! Get ready, we're going to attack!"
Zhang Bao quickly responded, sorted out his equipment, and then turned over and stepped onto the war horse.
Zhang Bao looked outside the woods and saw that the Sangliu Town was still flashing with lights. However, unlike before, Sangliu Town had become silent at this moment, as if all the Qin army officers and soldiers had fallen asleep.
Zhang Bao couldn't help but get excited and said to Zhang Fei: "Father, let's attack!"
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Zhuge Liang is very cunning! We should not be careless! You lead the five thousand war cavalry and don't move for the time being. I will lead the other war cavalry to attack first! If the situation is wrong, you will immediately lead the army to respond!"
Zhang Bao held his fists and agreed.
Zhang Fei raised his serpent and waved it forward. More than half of the 7,000 cavalrymen immediately followed Zhang Fei out of the woods and headed straight towards the Qin army camp in front.
The reason why these seven thousand cavalry did not charge immediately was because their location was so far from Sangliu Town. If they launched a charge immediately, the huge movement would inevitably wake up the opponent, which would inevitably affect the effect of their surprise attack.
The tactic of late-night raid is not that simple. It is like a wolf pack surrounds prey. It always quietly approaches the place close enough to the opponent, and then launches the raid. When the opponent reacts, it has already suffered a fatal blow.
Seven thousand cavalrymen came straight to the vicinity of Sangliu Town under the cover of night.
Then Zhang Fei glared around his eyes, raised his snake spear and shouted loudly: "Roar!"
The seven thousand war cavalry shouted, as if it had overturned the quiet night! The seven thousand war cavalry rushed into the village like a pack of wolves appearing in the dark! The Qin army was resting, and suddenly heard a huge sound of killing, and they woke up one after another! He saw countless enemy troops pouring into the camp and caught off guard! Under Zhang Fei's leadership, Liu Bei's army rushed around and killed people and set fire. According to Zhang Fei's previous tactics, they avoided the real and attacked the virtual. When they encountered strong resistance, they did not fight hard with their opponents, but immediately used the cavalry's telling to go around and continued to burn and kill other places.
With the elite of the Qin army, they were also confused for a moment! Zhang Bao, who was behind, saw that the nearby attack succeeded, immediately led another five thousand war cavalry to rush out of the mountains and forests, rushing into the middle of the village, and swept across the village! The war horses roared and swords danced, and the Qin army was shattered by the sudden wave of impact! Zhuge Liang woke up and rushed out of the room. He suddenly saw fires everywhere in the village, figures everywhere, and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were already in chaos.
Zhuge Liang was shocked. The raid was completely beyond his expectations! When he came to his senses, Zhuge Liang immediately shouted: "Beat the drum and order all troops to gather in the village and town center immediately!"
After a while, the rapid sound of war drums rang out in the noisy and chaotic atmosphere.
The officers and soldiers of various departments, who were dizzy, heard the sound of drums and immediately gathered in the middle of the villages and towns under the leadership of their respective generals! It seemed that the originally scattered water was quickly gathering together! Liu Bei's army rushed and rushed in the villages and towns, but could not stop the Qin army's actions at all! In just a moment, the Qin army gathered in one place.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of various departments finally calmed down and quickly formed a formation under Zhuge Liang's order.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei wanted to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop before the opponent's formation was formed. He immediately raised the Snake Spear and gathered the troops under his command and launched a fierce charge against the Qin army! Ten thousand horses galloped, with a rainbow of momentum. More than ten thousand Liu Bei's cavalry roared and shouted towards the Qin army like a strong wind and waves! However, at this time, the Qin army formation had not yet been formed, and I was afraid that I could not withstand the fierce impact of the opponent! At this critical moment, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the heavy armored infantry in the front to hedge, and at the same time ordered the other units to quickly return.
Chapter completed!
