Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 754 Reopening the Instance, Wang Xingtai's Battle of Dingjun Mountain
Wang Hou, who was born in shipping, also had to worry about the ship for the first time. The last time Xia Houyuan retreated, in order to prevent the Shu army from chasing and killing, a large number of ships on the Han River were all burned and destroyed by Zhang Jaw. The ship is not like playing a game. Say it Wang Hou, who can come out in a short time with the main force in place, has nothing to do with the Shu army hiding on the other side of the river!
Fortunately, Zhang Lu left, and Wang Hou took over Hanzhong completely. Under his orders, the "ghost generals and ghost soldiers" scattered in various counties in Hanzhong were forcibly gathered together to cut down trees and build boats for him.

It is estimated that the environmental protection organizations of later generations will have to put countless stamps on Wang Hou's face. With the sharp ax and saw in Guanzhong, the side of the west mountain near Yangping Pass has been chopped down like Uncle Ge's forehead, and the heavy solid wood has been tilted. Drill holes, pass through them with the thick iron chains carried by the army, and then spread them across the rushing Han River.

A tree trunk with a length of three to four meters was laid under the wood with a small boat every time, all the way to the east, while the auxiliary soldiers were laying the trunk, Wang Hou, who was biting a big tongue, was still writing enthusiastically on the riverside. After writing it, I recruited a soldier, and sent it to the other side of the river in a small boat.

Across the river, Huang Zhong's tribe, who had just been raided and defeated by Wang Hou, was stationed. Seeing Wang Hou's high spirits, the curious Cao Zhang couldn't help but surrounded him again.

"Brother-in-law, what did you send to the other side?"

"To Liu Xuande, the lord of Shu! The power of the people of Ba and Shu came hundreds of miles away, and the daily consumption of food and salaries was tens of thousands of stones. The sweat of the people was wasted between Jiang and Han. What a pity! Therefore, Wang asked the lord of Shu to retreat five miles away. Is it better for our army to cross the river and fight a male or female than to fight in vain?"

"I have also arranged for a hundred or so prisoners of the Shu army. As soon as our army landed on the other side of the general, we will send them to run behind the Shu thief and shout in Shu dialect that the Shu army has been defeated. The thieves are in chaos, attacking aggressively, just to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop!"

Full of excitement, shaking his fists, Wang Hou said viciously, and even perfectly imagined the appearance of the former Qin army that was defeated like a mountain in the Battle of Feishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty more than 100 years later in his mind.

Looking at his crooked and excited face and the dense camp of the Shu army on the other side of the river, he poked his head and glanced at the negative of the letter left by Wang Hou. He even wrote several typos, and asked him to paint them piece by piece with thick ink. Cao Zhang shook his head speechlessly.

However, the aura of Wang Hou as the protagonist is really strong enough. When Cao Zhang looked like a fool and waited for Wang Hou to make a fool of himself, Huang Zhong's troops on the other side who had set up their barracks by the Han River were really in a hurry. The camp was pulled out in chaos, and the deer village built this month, the dilapidated sheds, etc. were all dismantled. The Wei army was still building the pontoon bridge with difficulty, and the Shu army on the other side had already left. Cao Zhang was dumbfounded .

Really withdrew!

Not only was he stunned, but even Wang Hou himself slapped his thighs with his head crooked, his mind was like the battle of Feishui, the Beifu army beating the drum, and now, the scene of a tiger entering a flock of sheep shattered That's it, the angry guy started yelling and cursing.

"How could it be withdrawn? I don't know if I hit half a degree! Thanks to him, Huang Zhong is still one of the five tiger generals, I'm sorry!"

………………

If it is said that intrigue on the battlefield is the same truth, it is true!Why did Huang Zhong retreat in a hurry?It’s not that he also crossed over and knew about the Battle of Feishui more than 100 years later, and if he really knew about the Battle of Feishui, he might not necessarily retreat, because this battle is so different from the Battle of Feishui. There are 84 troops of various ethnic groups. Even if the water is squeezed out, there are still 50 million troops!The distance between the front and rear military formations is several miles, and there are still many half-hearted people.

The spies of the Jin army spread rumors, clamoring that the Qin army was defeated, and the front could not see the back, and the overwhelming army retreated in between, and the chaos naturally became louder.

But Huang Zhong has only 2 people, and he can see the front by standing on his heels behind. Even if more than 100 prisoners of the Shu army shouted loudly, when his own generals yelled, all the army had to stand at attention, and the prisoners had to all Become two fools.

The problem lies in Wang Hou's scribbled, altered, and crossed-out letter.

How did the Guanzhong Allied Forces lose in the Battle of Weinan?Cao Cao wrote an obfuscated letter to Han Sui who was still at large in Huangzhong. As a result, Ma Chao saw it and became suspicious.

Later, when Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei in Yizhou, he naturally shared the experience of Weinan's defeat. Now Wang Hou sent Huang Zhong a letter with ugly handwriting and alterations. What would he think?

There is also an external reason, that is, Wang Hou has 100 cavalry, including a lot of heavy cavalry. The lethality of heavy cavalry on the plains against light infantry with low quality has been clearly revealed in the battle of Xiabian, and the Han River has more than [-] cavalry. The Shu army couldn't fully monitor the line along the river here. God knows if there is a Wei army cavalry who has sneaked across the Han River and is rushing to this battlefield!

Now that Wang Hou crossed the Han River at the risk of being attacked halfway through, and even wrote a letter asking Huang Zhong to make way, in Huang Zhong's view, the meaning of the irony was even more obvious.

Then just like the Battle of Yangping Pass, thousands of heavy cavalry suddenly appeared behind our old Huang's ass. Sorry, although Lao Huang is old, he does not suffer from dementia!

Ever since, full of rejoicing that he didn't fall for the trick, Huang Zhong patted his ass and left.

However, Wang Hou crossed the river angrily and shouted out of regret for not being able to overthrow the old man.

Of course, you have to be careful. The first to cross is Xu Yue's heavy cavalry. In order to mobilize morale, Wang Hou has already sorted out a wave of military exploits before going out. The heavy cavalry applied to the imperial court for the title of county baron, and the rest recorded the amount of copper coins rewarded, and returned to Chang'an to cash it out immediately.

Landlords who can organize three to fifteen or six cavalry to go to the battlefield are naturally not short of money. The temptation of bounty to them can only be said to be average, and the title is the bigger bait. The selection of the children is the starting point of the rise of the family, so the knights who have the vanguard position are particularly enthusiastic. After the pontoon bridge is built, [-] heavy cavalry and [-] retinues lead the horses across the river first. With the assistance of the retinue, he quickly pierced the heavy cavalry and put on the horse armor.

The four hundred retinues quickly retreated again, and immediately the two hundred armored heavy cavalry began to build the first line of defense like a wall, covering the infantry regiments of the Guanzhong Army who crossed the river first, and put their heavy shields on the river bank. The light infantry with bows and crossbows is in charge of the formation, and the three rows of heavy infantry with axes and spears in the rear line are waiting to fight at any time. This is the arrangement of the forward position!
Immediately, a large number of Wei Jun continued to lay the pontoon bridge, while marching to the other side of the river.

…………

Eight sturdy bamboos in the shape of a well were mounted on a steam engine weighing one ton. A total of sixteen strong men stepped on the rickety pontoon bridge, trembling towards the other side of the Han River, waiting for the heaviest weapon to pass. At the time of Jiang, it was already the evening of the day, and the Ten Thousand Guanzhong Legion had already crossed the Han River first, and set up a defensive position. At this time, Wang Hou even led some light cavalry, and scouted towards Dingjun Mountain shamelessly. direction.

Last time, the battlefield where Xia Houyuan was defeated was still clearly placed there, and many corpses were not even buried in time. No wonder, during the precious month, the Shu army was busy attacking everywhere, and in the process of looting supplies, could It is not bad to bury most of the corpses.

The stench of the battlefield, the traces of excavated trenches, and the deer village that was completely burned to carbon, the miserable and fierce scene made Cao Zhang who followed him fist hard.

Wang Hou's eyes were completely attracted by the distant mountains.

Shu Army!Dingjunshan camp!
