Chapter 398 The Battle of Hanzhong (46)

Zhao Yun signaled Zhang Yi not to be anxious. After thinking for a while, he ordered Zhang Yi:

"Don't close the village gate! Although this place is dangerous, there is no water source in the valley. Once Cao Cao surrounded him and cut off the waterway, there is no way out. In less than a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers will be in trouble without fighting and will be unable to escape defeat. It is better to fight to the death now and have a chance to break out!"

Zhao Yun made up his mind and immediately asked the crossbowman to ambush the trenches outside the village, and all the flags and guns in the camp were tilted down, and the golden drums did not sound.

Huang Zhong, Zhang Jie, Zhang Yi and the other two, without caring about fatigue, each led a military horse to hide in the camp.

Zhao Yun stood alone and stood outside the camp gate, waiting for Cao Cao's army to come.

Zhang He and Xu Huang originally surrounded Huang Zhong, but after being defeated by Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong also escaped. They rested for less than a long time, and their physical strength recovered 70%, and they went to Cao Cao's horse to collect the crime.

Cao Cao had known the inside story for a long time and did not blame the two of them. He arranged for them to be by his side and follow Cao Cao to chase and kill Zhao Yun.

Because Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were very skilled in martial arts, only the two of them could withstand it for a while. They also wanted to sacrifice their merits. They took the lead side by side and chased Zhao Yun not far outside of Zhao Yun's camp.

At this time, the sky was dusk, the mountains were covered with clouds, and the birds were not shocked. There were no lights in the village, and the flags were stopped. Zhao Yun also saw a single horse standing outside the camp, and the gate of the village was wide open.

The two of them were not sure to win Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, but they were preparing to fight together this time. Depending on the situation, Zhao Yun had an ambush rhythm.

Since they saw the ambush, they didn't want to fall into Zhao Yun's plan. The two stopped at an arrow outside the camp gate and did not dare to attack rashly.

Just as he was suspicious, Cao Cao personally led his troops to arrive.

He had more than 100,000 troops under his command, but Zhao Yun's troops were not satisfied with 10,000 troops, and was not afraid that Zhao Yun would be ambushed, so he hurriedly urged the troops to attack the camp gate.

The soldiers did not dare to disobey and shouted and rushed to the camp.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was getting closer and closer, Zhao Yun turned a blind eye to these soldiers and he remained motionless.

The Cao army soldiers in the front row did not dare to stroke Zhao Yun's tiger beard. When they saw Zhao Yun's tiger eyes wide open and his eyes were eye-catching, they would never dare to face it again, and they would turn over and return.

Seeing hundreds of people entering the crossbow, Zhao Yun shot a volley of crossbows in the trenches on both sides of the hillside.

Amid the chaotic cry of pain, hundreds of soldiers in front fell down like harvesting wheat.

At this time, the sky was dark and arrows were flying, and Cao's army was not having many ambush troops.

Originally, Cao Cao sent a large number of spies to monitor the movements of Liu Bei's main force, thinking that there would be no number of soldiers and horses in Zhao Yun's camp, so he ordered the army to attack.

But when Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun's calmness and the scene of thousands of arrows firing at the same time, he couldn't help but feel the sound of the sound of the heart:

"Are you hit Zhuge Liang's plan again?"

Although he was still far away from the flying arrow, Cao Cao did not dare to put himself in a dangerous place, so he turned back his horse and left.

When Cao Cao left, the generals were convinced that Liu Bei was ambushed. The troops turned around and ran away. Only the shouts from behind were loudly shook, and the drums and horns were roaring together, and Liu Bei's army came after him.

The Cao soldiers trampled on each other and rushed to the Han River. There were countless people who died in the water.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, each led a group of troops and beat drums to advance. It seemed that they were very anxious to chase.

But in the dark night, he was not really good at seeing it and his own troops were small. Zhao Yun was very cautious, but he just led the army and shouted, and did not enter the defeated army to charge.

Therefore, Cao Cao seemed to be a big defeat, but the number of people who were actually damaged was less than 2,000, and it was not damaged. Most generals almost retreated unscathed.

Under the protection of the guards, Cao Cao ran back. Although the defeated troops were afraid of Liu Bei's army's charge, they did not dare to collide with the King of Wei.

Cao Cao quickly crossed the Han River and arrived at the foot of the North Mountain.

Just as they were about to take a break, suddenly, Liu Feng and Wu Ban led two troops to fight from the Micang Mountain Road, and set fire to lit the food and grass at the foot of the mountain to lure Huang Zhong.

During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was scared by Zhou Yu's fire. When he saw the fire at the foot of Beishan Mountain, he did not order to put out the fire, and did not dare to stop. He abandoned Beishan Village and food and grass, and hurriedly led his troops to Nanzheng.

Although Xu Huang and Zhang He led the army to retreat in the back, because Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were bluffing, their losses were not great, so they retreated with the defeated army.

Zhang He was originally a camp stationed at the foot of the North Mountain, but he saw that the fire began to spread and it was difficult to extinguish it for a while.

He had difficulty restraining his soldiers, and did not dare to face Liu Bei's pursuers, so he abandoned his camp and left.

Zhao Yun occupied the Beishan Village, and Huang Zhong led the troops to put out the fire and seized the remaining food and grass.

Zhang Yi, Zhang, led his troops to clean the battlefield on both sides of the Han River, and obtained countless military weapons.

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun won a great victory, especially Huang Zhong was overjoyed, so he briefly counted the results of the battle with Zhao Yun and sent someone to report the victory to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had been planning to attack Micang Mountain for a long time. After occupying Dingjun Mountain, he arranged a lot of secret whistles on the mountain. He had long noticed the movements of Cao's army and also learned about Huang Zhong's encirclement.

Cao Cao's move can be said to have captured Liu Bei's painful foot.

Liu Bei cherished his reputation very much and dared not ignore his beloved general Huang Zhong.

Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng designed this routine and asked Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun to rob the grain. They had long thought that this possibility would happen.

They believed that with Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's martial arts, they could escape unscathed, but they also made corresponding arrangements.

Dingjun Mountain and Micang Mountain areas stored the food and grass that Cao Cao had prepared to attack Xichuan, and the amount was quite large.

Although Liu Bei did not attack Micangshan, he entered the court first before Cao Cao, and he still had a great home advantage.

He made full use of this period and sent locals from Xichuan who were familiar with the terrain to act as horse-snooping horses. He was much better than Cao Cao in observing and transmitting military information.

Although Cao Cao's plan hit Liu Bei's weakness, it was just a whim after all. He was not prepared enough. Although the ambushes he temporarily set up were just right, they were still discovered by the secret whistle sent by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei wanted to save Huang Zhong, but Zhuge Liang used the plan and set up a camp in vain. He and Liu Bei led their troops to leave the camp quietly at night, and took a small path to approach Beishan Dazhai, preparing to attack Beishan Dazhai by surprise, using the strategy of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao.

All the way to the mountains, we had to avoid the ambush of Cao's army, and we were hiding at night. The speed of the march was not fast.

Not long after Huang Zhong sent people to report the victory, he happened to meet Liu Bei's army who sneaked over at night because they were all taking small paths.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were really surprised when they received Huang Zhong’s good news and could hardly believe it!

The two went to Zhao Yun's camp in Hanshui to understand the situation of the war between the two sides.

Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun’s personal guard:

"How does General Zilong fight?"

The guards explained in detail how Zhao Yun saved Huang Zhong and rejected the Han River.

Liu Bei was amazed in his heart and checked the steep road in front of and behind the mountain. There was no way out. Zhao Yun was trying his best to gamble and said to Zhuge Liang happily:

"Zilong is full of courage!"

Therefore, Liu Bei called Zhao Yun the Huwei General.

But this is just a verbal praise and there is no special reward to Zhao Yun.

As the lord, this is not a joke. General Huwei is synonymous with bravery in combat. From the founding of the country to the demise of Shu Han, he no longer had the title of General Huwei.

While Liu Bei was happy, he rewarded Zhao Yun with a lot of money.

Zhao Yun happily accepted the rewards used for meritorious soldiers and the pensions of dead soldiers.

Although Huang Zhong made great contributions to his victory this time, Liu Bei had just appointed him as the General of the Western Expedition. He also gave him more rewards on money and goods, and held a banquet to reward the soldiers and celebrated the banquet until evening.
