Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 797 Zhang Junyi He De He Neng

Zhang Yun set the tone of focusing on defense, and the rest of the generals asked themselves that they were unable to challenge Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, so they could only let the enemy troops under the city scold them.

As the sky was getting darker, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun saw that Zhang He refused to accept the attack, so they led their horses back to the Weinan camp that had just been built.

"Why is Zhang He so timid? Chen Cang has three times as many defenders as us, yet he doesn't even fight back. The deep trenches and high fortifications around Chen Cang seem to have to wait for the king's main force, and they don't know how to launch a frontal attack. How long will it take to pull out this strong city." Huang Zhong originally wanted to win quickly, but Zhang He didn't give him a chance at all, like punching cotton.

Zhao Yun frowned and analyzed: "If you want to capture the Guanzhong area, the fortress of Chencang must be taken, so as to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads, block the water transportation of the Wei River in Wei State, and cut off the water supply line of Cao Zhenlong's right garrison. In the end, even if you can't take Chang'an , and there is also a chance to cooperate with Yide to occupy Longyou, and when Deng Shizai is allowed to farm in Longshang, the battle line can move northward as a whole, and it is only a matter of time before Yongliang is finally controlled."

"Although Zilong's analysis is not bad, I hope that the sun and the moon will not be postponed. Wei Guo is now restrained by Sun Quan and General Guan in Huainan, Nanyang and other places at the same time. In the future, this opportunity may never exist again. It is best to be like the prime minister." As they deduced, the main force of Cao Zhenyongliang was trapped in Longyou, and we used the time difference to decide Guanzhong, and then closed the door and beat the dogs to slowly clean up Longyou Cao army." Huang Zhongxin said that you are still young, our old Huang How long can the age last?I really hope to see the King Sanxing the Han Dynasty.

"What I just analyzed is also the worst result of Zhuge Prime Minister's deduction. Whether Guanzhong can be determined in one battle depends on the skills of the military division and Pang Junshi. It is really difficult to storm the two fortified cities of Chencang and Chang'an. Zhou Yu besieged Xiangyang for a year Neither can be broken."

Zhao Yun never thought that he would be able to win Chang'an soon. Even Chen Cang in front of him felt that his head was too big. First, Zhang He was too stable, second, there were too many defenders in Chen Cang, and finally, Chen Cang was close to Weishui in the north. In addition to the large attack surface on the east and west sides of the mountain, the north and south ends are restricted by terrain.

Huang Zhong was more optimistic than Zhao Yun. Looking at the night sky with few stars, he said to himself: "There is nothing to worry about with the French army on the same journey. Don't forget that Dingjunshan is his plan to break the situation. Zhang Yun is nothing to be afraid of. "

"I hope so." Zhao Yun nodded.

After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun arrived, they fought several times, and Zhang Yun strictly ordered the defenders to "not return insults." Even after Zhao Yun led a small team of soldiers and horses to go around to investigate, Chencang's defenders remained unmoved.

Zhang Yun said in his heart that he only needs to stay until the opponent runs out of food and retreats, so why take the risk of going out of the city to fight?Chencang is now crowded with people and the city is strong. Isn't it easy to defend the city?

Two days later, Zhang Nan escorted some of the siege equipment to arrive. Only then did Chencang guard know that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were not restraining them. They seemed to really want to attack the city.

"General Jun Yi, Liu Bei's people are constantly gathering at Chencang. Maybe they really want to attack Guanzhong. Even if you don't ask for help from Prince Xiahou, you should still write a letter to Luoyang and report the situation here to His Majesty." Wang Sheng risked Suggestions at the risk of scolding.

Zhang He frowned and replied: "A few days ago, Your Majesty's order has been sent to Chang'an. The Great Sima (Cao Ren) fought fiercely with Sun Quan in Huainan, and the General Who Conquered South (Cao Xiu) has led his troops south to resist Guan Yu. At present, the strength of the two domestic front lines is relatively tight. , Let the guards of the Yongliang cities not act rashly, and everything is at the discretion of the general (Cao Zhen), and you let this general alarm His Majesty for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, is it appropriate?"

Wang Sheng was at a loss for words. He didn't expect Jingbei and Huainan to be so lively. He muttered to himself: "Jingbei and Yongliang are at war at the same time. How can Liu Bei have so many soldiers? Especially to transport grain to Yongliang area. I don't know what to do on the way." How much will it cost? Yizhou has been in constant war for the past few years, where did they get the food? Is there any conspiracy in it?"

Zhang He gave Wang Sheng a blank look, and teased softly: "When did you become the Governor of Yongliang? It's not too late to think about those issues. I will send someone to report this matter to General Zidan. You need to send more scouts to the west to look out." , Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun should report in time if there is any change."

"Wei." Wang Sheng cupped his fists.

On the seventh day of December, Liu Bei's main force arrived at the city of Chencang, and all the siege equipment stored in Hechi was taken to the battlefield by the rear army, and surrounded by three gates, east, west and south, and launched a fierce offensive that day.

Before Liu Beijun arrived at Chencang, the scouts sent by Zhang Yun to the north bank of the Weishui River discovered the whereabouts of Yizhou soldiers and horses. After they sent the news back to Chencang, all the guards including Zhang Yun were shocked.

If what the scouts described is true, what Chen Cang will face will be the main force in Yizhou. No wonder Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are the vanguards.

Zhang He thought to himself, what virtue can I do?Isn't Cao Zhen the commander-in-chief of Yongliang?Liu Bei, why are you staring at me?
While commanding the defenders to defend the city tenaciously, he also sent messengers to Ji County and Chang'an to ask for help. Now he doesn't care whether Xia Houmao is incompetent, as long as the other party is willing to help.

Chencang's defense was extremely strong, and it was very difficult to attack the city head-on. Fazheng focused his attention on the Weishui, and he planned to draw the Weishui to irrigate the city.

Ancient cities were mainly made of rammed earth, most of which could not withstand long-term blistering, so water attack was the most popular method of warfare.

The problem now is that the Weishui River is cold in winter, and it takes a lot of time to dig ditches and cofferdams. In order not to affect the speed of the siege, Fazheng ordered the peasants who came to transport grain to dig a diversion canal northwest of Chencang. Return to Yizhou the same way.

Fazheng's move to flood the city with water was obvious, which made Zhang Yun on the city jump up and down. He only hoped that Cao Zhen and Xia Houmao would come to help as soon as possible, otherwise Chen Cang might be trapped in his hands.

Counting from the break of Dasan Pass by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun asked Cao Zhen for help three times within ten days, and Cao Zhen was waiting for Zhang Fei to fall into his trap in Ji County, but Zhang Fei was hesitant in Shangyu.

Cao Zhen was quite speechless after receiving the letter, thinking that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun scared you?
When Zhang He asked for help for the third time, Cao Zhen realized that he had made a strategic misjudgment. Liu Bei's idea of ​​fighting off the border from the beginning, but Zhang Fei, who was domineering in Liangzhou, was just a cover-up of the other party.

"Liu Bei's main force appeared in Chencang. It seems that he intends to take Guanzhong. How can I let him succeed? Junlin, you and I will lead [-] soldiers. After detouring Longshan Road from Jieting, I will immediately gather the army to go up to the gate. Advance, and then cut off Liu Beiliang Road from Weishui Road to the east, this time let him come and go." Cao Zhen took the case.

"Wei." Xia Houru accepted the order with cupped fists.

Fei Yao stood up and reminded: "General Zidan, Zhang Fei is now active near Shangyu, I'm afraid it will not be easy to pass."

"Zhang Fei is just bluffing. He doesn't have the protection of the city now. At most, he will plunder the countryside like before. It won't hurt my roots at all. Now it will take time to gather all the troops. You left Jixian and Wangyuan with [-] soldiers Take them all away, and go directly to Shangbi for defense, and I will follow with the main force." Cao Zhen said.

"What if Zhang Fei rushes into your pocket instead of fleeing to Qishan for the garrisons in Wangyuan and Ji County when you take time off? The empty city can't stop them." Fei Yao asked worriedly.

Cao Zhen smiled slightly: "Then let's guard Shangyu and cut off Zhang Fei's passage back to Qishan. Wouldn't it be better to catch the turtle in the urn?"

"Oh." Fei Yao nodded.

Two days later, Fei Yao led his troops into Shanggu, and Liang Qian, the guard, opened the gate and entered the city.

Fei Yao had just walked a hundred steps into the city, when suddenly a general came galloping in front of him, and he looked very familiar in silver armor.

When Fei Yao saw who was coming, he was so startled that he was covered in cold sweat and almost fell off his horse.
