Chapter 738 is gone
Probably God saw that Zhang Huazeng followed his brother Zhang Gong to ping the Liangzhou rebellion and made great contributions.
So after he lost the chance to rescue Yuzhong by one day, he was given another hope.
Just when he was almost losing confidence due to the calculations from the opposite side, his nephew appeared.
Zhang led the last soldiers of Jincheng and appeared at the rear of the Han army, forming a pincer attack with him.
The Wei cavalry, which continued to look for opportunities along the left wing, passed the news to Zhang Hua as quickly as possible.
Zhang Hua was ecstatic, drew his sword and shouted: "Organize the army! Organize the army!"
The appearance of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Wei army.
Although there was no communication between the two sides, Zhang Jiu, the chief of Jincheng who led the army, was more talented than his uncle Zhang Hua.
He led the army to the battlefield and saw the stalemate in front. Without hesitation, he personally led the cavalry to the rear of the Han army.
Generally speaking, being attacked from the rear is a disaster.
But it is a pity that a certain prince who was born as a country boy and always wanted to be nine points sure knew what a battlefield reserve was.
So he has been holding on to the mobile reserve force of Jiang Wei and the Tiger Infantry, and will never use it easily until the last moment.
As a result, the Wei cavalry who came from the rear of the Han army did not take advantage of it, but ran headlong into the tiger infantry trained by the Han Prime Minister himself.
If the Mo Dao Army is an iron wall, then the Tiger Infantry is a huge sponge, absorbing the powerful impact of the cavalry and then digesting it.
Feng Yong watched the Tiger Infantry at the rear turning slowly, wiping out the first wave of charge from Jincheng's reinforcements, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped cold sweat: Damn, I finally know the power of the flying dragon riding on the face, even the time traveler can't afford it!
Zhang Yuan ran back sweating profusely, "Chief, we have found out. There are about three thousand Cao thieves in the rear, but no more than four thousand at most."
“Okay!” Feng Yong nodded, “Go to the Tiger Infantry Army again and pass the news to General Jiang.”
“No!”
Zhang Yuan saluted, turned around and ran away again.
Whether it is three thousand or four thousand, Feng Yong can rest assured when facing the Tiger Infantry led by Jiang Wei.
On the other hand, Jiang Wei himself felt extremely stressed.
Because this was the first time that he led an army alone, and at the same time he used infantry against cavalry.
When he saw the Cao thieves charging, his whole body tensed up and he loudly ordered: "Raise the white flag!"
The military formation representing the direction of Jingmen slowly rotated following the commander's flag.
It wasn't until the first wave of Wei cavalry charges were successfully repelled that Jiang Wei's heart dropped to its original position again.
He was refreshed. Surprised and confident, he quickly began to order the flags and drums to be changed.
The sound of fighting and drumming from behind reached Zhang Yi's ears, making him feel a little anxious: Hearing this sound, he was afraid that the worst case scenario had already occurred.
It’s just that he couldn’t take care of the battlefield, and the Wei cavalry who had crossed the water again were wandering around, so he had to force himself to focus on the front of the battle.
At the same time, I was thinking secretly in my heart: I just hope that General Jiang can take on important tasks as the prince thinks.
However, the one under greatest pressure at this time was not Jiang Wei's side, but Jufu, who was defending the river frontally.
Compared to yesterday, the antlers and trenches that had been cleared in front of the Wudang camp after half a day and a night had been completely destroyed in less than an hour.
The Cao thieves seemed to be going crazy now. They were constantly coming from the opposite side, giving Wudang camp no chance to breathe.
Forced Jufu to go into battle himself with a sword, killing several thieves, and then led his men to close the gap opened by Cao's thieves.
"here we go again!"
“The inexhaustible thief! Let’s see how I teach you a lesson!”
Sweat flowed into his eyes, and Jufu had to try hard to keep his eyes wide open: "Come with me!"
The Wei army who led the charge was wearing iron armor and looked at least like a military lord.
He held a knife, followed by dozens of Wei soldiers, rushing toward the gap that could be repaired.
At this time, an iron arrow suddenly shot out from the side, hitting the unprotected neck of the Wei Junjunhou, and directly penetrated his neck.
The military lord staggered a few steps following the inertia, and fell to the ground clutching his hands.
Ju Fu, who was about to fight, jumped out of the corner of his eye. He looked in the direction of the arrow and saw several figures shaking in the rear right. They were holding heavy crossbows with a slightly strange style and taking aim.
"night Hunter?"
The sentence helped his face look happy.
Dark Night Camp is the elite soldiers selected and trained by the king himself.
Although there are not many people, each one is selected from hundreds of people, and everyone has special skills.
The Night Hunters of the Dark Night Camp are crossbowmen, and their special heavy crossbows are their most obvious symbol.
Although there are only a dozen of them, for Jufu, their ability can at least reduce the pressure of a phalanx.
As expected, when the Wei army tried to charge back from the direction where they were almost broken today, their leader always fell down for no apparent reason.
The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, and countless people fell down on both sides of the Han and Wei Dynasties. Even the river water began to turn red, and the blood flowed northward along the river and poured into the river.
But under the attack from the front and back by the Wei army, the Han army finally couldn't hold on.
The sound of gold ringing came, and the Han army continued to retreat, retreating back to the simple camp.
When Zhang Hua saw all this, he laughed loudly, raised his sword and shouted: "Cross the water! Cross the water! The Shu captives have no way to stop us!"
Wei Jun cheered loudly.
“Your Majesty, why should we retreat to the camp when we can obviously hold it?”
Zhang Yi’s whole body was already soaked with sweat. He hurriedly walked up to the highest point in the center of the camp, with an anxious look on his face. “If this happens, I’m afraid the Cao thieves will escape!”
“Boqi, don’t panic.”
Feng Yong stood on the high platform, watching the Wei troops on the other side entering the water one after another, with a calm face.
He handed the telescope to Zhang Yi and pointed him in a direction: "Look over there."
Zhang Ni held up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Feng Yong, and saw a red tide coming towards this direction.
“It’s our army!”
Zhang Yi suddenly put down the telescope, his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he looked at Feng Yong in disbelief.
Feng Yong also had a smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief, "Wei Yan finally did not disappoint me."
"I asked the soldiers to return to the camp to let them rest for a while and replenish some food. I will only wait for the arrival of the army before attacking."
"Youdao builds up its strength in one go, then weakens again, and then exhausts it three times. Cao Cao's thieves saw us getting out of the way and rushed to cross the water again. Their energy has weakened. When the army arrives, their morale will be exhausted."
At this point, Feng Yong showed a sneer on his face again, "Jincheng's reinforcements rushed here to help, and they did not hesitate to use their horsepower. In addition, they charged anxiously to relieve the Cao thieves on the east bank."
“Even if the horses can survive the continuous attacks in such hot weather, are the soldiers of Wei State invincible?”
Jincheng is nearly fifty miles away from here.
Judging from the time when the Jincheng reinforcements appeared, this cavalry army must have been on its way.
You have traveled fifty miles and fought with the Tiger Troops for so long in such scorching heat. I don't believe you still have the strength to run back to Jincheng safely.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was suddenly shocked: "Do you want to keep everyone here?"
Feng Yong smiled slightly: "Isn't this good? If we keep all these Cao thieves, we can take the Golden City without bloodshed, so that the soldiers will not bleed to attack the city."
"If the city wall is damaged, shouldn't it be rebuilt? Then the prime minister will most likely ask the Qiang Protector's Office to pay for it."
When Feng Junhou said this, his face showed a look of pain, "How much food did it cost me to build a Pingxiang city?"
Zhang Yi heard that "Jincheng was captured without bloodshed", and he was in awe of the king's plan.
Unexpectedly, I almost choked when I heard the second half.
Think about it, after recapturing Longyou last year, the Han Dynasty has been investing money and food in Longyou.
Only the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion harvested a batch of wool at the beginning of spring today.
Then the king drove back tens of thousands of animals from Longyou.
In the end, the Xianbei Hu people sent another 30,000 livestock in exchange for wool and grain. Anyway, there were rumors somewhere that the prices of wool and grain seemed a bit high?
After these actions, even the people in the Longyou Governor's Mansion knew that the soldiers protecting the Qiang Xiaowei's Mansion had meat to eat every day.
Zhang Yi thought for a while, if he were the prime minister, the worst he could do would be to put Jincheng under the jurisdiction of the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion.
Anyway, everyone knows that Feng Langjun is good at planning and fighting. He has tigers and wolves under his command. Isn't it just right to defend the Golden City? Then you won’t be responsible for building the city?
That must be the money for the Qiang Colonel's Office, which has fifty or sixty thousand livestock on hand, and also manages a dozen pastures and five woolen spinning workshops!
From this point of view, the prince...is indeed very far-sighted.
Feng Junhou in the camp was counting his money and food, but Zhang Hua, who was crossing the water, felt a sense of foreboding.
“General, general, it’s not good!”
A primary school student rushed up from behind in a panic. Even because he was running too fast and couldn't exert enough strength in the water, the primary school student suddenly fell in the water, flopped twice, and could not stand up.
“Hurry up and help him up!” Zhang Hua ordered quickly, and at the same time asked urgently, “What happened?”
The young colonel who was helped up by his guards looked pale: "General, the Han army, the Han army is catching up!"
The principal’s words made Zhang Hua feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
The water, which was obviously cool, seemed to suddenly become extremely cold.
Zhang Hua's lips were trembling. He didn't even want to believe what the colonel said: "Impossible! The Han army is attacking Yuzhong and has not caught up at all!"
Is this Wei Yan sick? Is he sick?
I specially stayed at a dangerous place in the mountain pass for one night, while you were busy attacking Yuzhong.
I left Shangguan, you caught up with me?
Did you capture Yuzhong in just half a day?
impossible, impossible!
In despair, he gained infinite hope, and then fell into the abyss from the infinite hope. The ups and downs, the feeling of being played in the palm of his hand, Zhang Hua could no longer bear.
Coupled with the scorching sun, he felt a heavy heaviness in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The commander-in-chief is still like this, let alone the soldiers below?
“The Shu army is coming from behind!”
The Wei army, which had not yet crossed the water, was horrified. Their morale, which had been so high before, suddenly collapsed like a mountain.
Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.
The Han army in front has already moved out of the way, and some of his colleagues have reached the other side. Why should I stay here?
Without being driven away by the Han troops behind them, the Wei troops jumped into the water one after another. Many people trampled on each other. Some even fell into the water and were stepped on by their comrades behind them, and could not get up again.
The chaos that followed soon spread to the West Bank.
At this time, Jincheng Chief Shi Zhangjiu, who led the army to force the Han army back to the camp, was setting up defenses to the west of the Han army's camp to prevent the Han army from fighting against the trapped beasts.
At the same time, he was about to send someone to contact his uncle when he heard a huge noise coming from the direction of the river bank.
"what happened?"
Zhang didn’t know what was happening in front of him for a moment, so he shouted and asked.
Before he could figure out the situation, the Wei army crossing the water from the east bank and defending the east side of the camp began to waver.
“The Shu army is coming from behind!”
The Wei troops who hurriedly climbed ashore behind were shouting in panic.
The Han army, who thought they had been forced back to the camp and did not dare to come out, suddenly heard loud drums and fired a dense burst of arrows from the camp.
At the same time, the gate of the village was opened wide, and the Han army, which had recovered some of its strength, rushed out again.
The Wei army guarding in front of the stronghold was shaken due to the chaos at the rear, but Zhang Hua vomited blood and fainted, leaving no one to command for a while.
As soon as they were attacked by the Han army, and no one came to support them, they collapsed after not resisting for a few seconds.
Some people were even forced back into the river and dozens of people drowned.
The army led by Zhang Hua finally fell into complete chaos.
“Hold on! Don’t panic!”
The soldiers Zhang sent out to try to maintain order were swept away by the surging troops.
The chaos is completely out of control.
“Quick, go find the prefect!”
Although Zhang Jiu didn't fully understand what happened, he was caught off guard and could only strictly defend his position, while not forgetting to ask people to find Zhang Hua.
Seeing that the Wei army coming from the east bank suddenly became chaotic, Zhang felt at a loss.
who are you? What are you doing?
What about the planned attack on the Han army?
Zhang Jiu's eyes began to turn red with anxiety.
Hearing the killing cry from the front again, his eyes turned from red with anger to despair: "I wish I could be your mother!"
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Zhang could not accept this fact at once.
“General, I heard the defeated soldiers shouting that the Han army behind them is catching up!”
The bodyguard, who finally got the news, ran back in panic to report.
Looking at the defeated troops running all over the mountains and fields, Zhang smiled miserably and said, "We have fallen short. Jincheng no longer belongs to the Wei Dynasty! Liangzhou is over!"
He drew his sword in his hand and slashed at the stone angrily. Sparks flew everywhere: "Xu Miao is just a civilian official. He only knows how to govern the people but not how to fight the war!"
“Jincheng in Yuzhong is the gateway to Liangzhou, and Xiping cannot reach Liangzhou’s fingertips. Losing Xiping and Liangzhou can still be saved, but losing Jincheng, how can Liangzhou be safe?”
“General, let’s withdraw!”
The guard urged.
“Withdraw? Where to retreat?”
Zhang pointed his sword at the battlefield that had become chaotic, "If we turn around and look back, do you believe that those broken troops can break up our formation?"
"Besides, even if we can go back, what can we do to defend the Golden City?"
Hearing what Zhang said, all the generals and commanders around him felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Zhang Taishou took away most of Jincheng's troops and is now being driven away by the Han army like pigs and dogs.
The reinforcements they brought out this time are already the final foundation of Jincheng. Now they can neither advance nor retreat.
It’s gone, it’s all gone.
You don't need to worry about the commander of chasing the soldiers. He has the school to deal with himself. Wei Yan rode the horse and entered Yingzhai.
At a glance, I saw a man standing at the highest point of the camp, holding an oil umbrella to protect himself from the sun. He stood there alone, looking aloof and independent.
He drove his horse downstairs, looked up at Feng Yong above, and said nothing.
Feng Yong, who was wearing a thin Confucian shirt, looked down at him and said, "I thought you wouldn't come!"
It was so hot that Feng Junhou, who was wearing iron armor, was almost suffocated to death. As soon as the Wei army was defeated and it was determined that there was no more danger, a certain rustic immediately put on a cool light shirt.
Wei Yan, who didn't understand the situation, was slightly surprised when he saw that Feng Yong was so calm and calm, with a Confucian general's demeanor, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.
This young man Feng can still look like this under the attack of Cao's thieves from the front and back. He really has the air of a general.
Recalling that the Prime Minister also wears a feather fan and a turban, drives a four-wheeled car when going in and out, and always looks calm and composed, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Come here and see if you are dead. Maybe I can make it in time to help you collect your body."
Feng Yong was hehehe, not angry, and suddenly asked a question: "Is it easy to cut down the engineering camp?"
Although he didn't like this kid, Wei Yan had to admit: "It's good for attacking cities."
“So you wish I were dead and want to inherit my engineering camp?”
Feng Yong sneered.
Zhang Yuan, who was standing below and ready to obey orders, suddenly lowered his head and bit his tongue to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
When a son inherits from his father, that is called inheritance.
Shan Chief, are you planning to become General Wei?
Wei Yan is just a big boss, how can he know the viciousness of Feng Langjun's words?
He frowned, feeling that this was not a good thing to say, but he couldn't think of anything wrong with it.
He knew that this man's tongue was as sharp as a knife, and few people could compete with him.
Moreover, the identities of the two of them are different from those in the past, so he can no longer use his power to overwhelm others.
Looking at Feng Yong standing at a high place to enjoy the cool breeze and feel so uncomfortable, Wei Yan snorted and didn't reply.
He turned the horse's head directly and walked towards the outside of the camp, leaving his territory.
