Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth accident like a trap
Just as Wang Sheng finished speaking, the general beside him reminded him: "Huang Zhong is a famous general under Liu Bei's account. Is there any conspiracy behind his sudden appearance here? Do you want to ask General Zhang for help? Or send someone to report to General Zidan?"
"General Zi Dan has seen through Zhang Fei's little trick. It's nothing more than making an attack in the east and attacking in the west. It's probably just like the previous bluffs, and it won't be long before it goes away." Wang Sheng didn't take it seriously.
"General, there is nothing to be afraid of like Fu Xu, but Huang Zhong is Liu Bei's general who conquered the west. This man was not a general in Wudu. His sudden appearance here is very suspicious..." General Pi continued to admonish.
Wang Sheng smiled and said: "How many days does that old guy Huang Zhong have to live? He suddenly appeared in Dashan Pass. I think Zhang Fei deliberately asked Liu Bei for the person. I will send someone to Ji County tomorrow morning to deliver the letter. Everything is still the same.
Let General Zidan decide, there is no need to ask for help from General Zhang for the time being..."
"only."
"Look? I call Huang Zhong's bluff."
While the two were talking, Huang Zhong had already withdrawn to the south in despair, which seemed particularly fitting as the sun set in the west.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just bright, there was a sudden noise outside the pass like thunder. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun led their troops to start a frontal attack. Fu Wei rushed to build several vehicles in the past few days, and they were all pushed to the foot of Dashan Pass.
The cold winter wind was howling in the mountains. Guard Wang Sheng was still curled up in bed and sleeping well. When he put on his clothes and armor and came to the gate, the two sides were fighting with bows and arrows from a distance. Three ramrods collided with each other at the same time under the gate.
It stimulated the hearts of the defenders at once.
"Huang Zhong... this old guy really wants to be beaten..." Wang Sheng was stunned.
"Not only that, Changshan Zhao Yun also appeared under the city..." General Pi reminded.
"Hurry up and ask for help from General Zhang...and also ask for help from General Zidan..."
Wang Sheng swallowed his saliva and looked panicked. He was worried that with Zhang He's character, he might not be able to come to his rescue immediately. However, those soldiers who were so stupid that their brains were frozen actually took the initiative to fight with the enemies under the city with bows and arrows. He said to himself that you are wearing thick clothes in winter.
Or is there more people than the opponent? How can we compete with the opponent with such a small force?
"General, look..." General Pi pointed at the mountain walls on both sides and exclaimed.
It turned out that Fu Shu's people had raised all the flags they carried after going up the mountain. It looked like there were Yizhou soldiers all over the mountains and plains. Wang Sheng was stunned when he saw this situation. It was almost impossible to go around Dasanguan. He thought to himself that these people
Are you crazy?
"There are so many people...why are they climbing so high?" Wang Sheng asked nervously.
General Pi replied: "Some people in the army can read flags. The enemies on the mountain seem to have found a path. Five thousand of them are preparing to go over the mountain and circle around us, and surround us from behind Dashan Pass..."
"There are trails on both sides of the pass? Five thousand people are more than our defenders... Do you think General Zhang's reinforcements came faster, or did they climb the mountain fast enough?" Wang Sheng asked.
General Pi's face was full of bitterness, "I'm not sure about this, but they climbed so high not long after the war started. The opponent's marching speed seems not very fast. Maybe they found a guide in the mountain, maybe they can be faster than General Zhang..."
"He must be a Di traitor. In the past, the late emperor (Cao Cao) massacred in Hechi, leaving hatred in the hearts of these aliens. Now it is natural for him to lead the way for the enemy." Wang Sheng gritted his teeth.
"Then... what should we do now?" General Pi asked, scratching his head.
Wang Shengzheng said solemnly: "I have ordered all the troops to hold on to the pass. Why are we afraid of them if we sit on the ground? I will lead my troops to intercept and kill the passersby. I don't believe they can break through the Dashan Pass."
"Uh... I will obey my orders..." General Pi was noncommittal.
Wang Sheng's original intention was to go to the pass to deal with the threat, but the soldiers guarding the pass mistakenly thought that he was going to abandon the pass and escape. There were not many defenders at the pass in the first place, and now the general was not in the command position, looking at the people who were all over the mountain carrying banners.
The soldiers were very worried about being surrounded by the enemy, so they passively fought or even ran away.
Fu Wei noticed what had happened to the soldiers guarding the pass, so he used flags to convey the message to Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. Soon the soldiers who had passed the pass first gathered to set off. They held shields and carried ladders towards the high wall.
The war lasted from Mao Shi to Si Shi, and the city walls were planted with the flags of Huang and Zhao. The two vanguards successfully entered the mountain road inside the Guanzhong from the city gate and captured Dashan Pass, one of the four great passes in Guanzhong.
"Wang Sheng took the remaining soldiers to escape towards Chencang. I want to lead his troops to pursue him. Can Zilong stay at Dashan Pass? Wait until Yiyang (Fu Wei) withdraws from the mountain, or Wen Jin (Zhang Nan)
When the rear army arrives, how about you lead more troops to follow? Anyway, the Qinling Mountain Road is relatively narrow, so there is no point in pursuing us at the same time..." After the war, Huang Zhong discussed with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was surprised to capture Dashan Pass so quickly. If it weren't for Fazheng's tips, he would have thought it was Zhang He's plan to lure the enemy deeper, so he was a little distracted for a while.
"If Zilong doesn't agree, I will give you the opportunity to pursue him in exchange for the friendship you had when we saved each other." Huang Zhong added when Zhao Yun didn't answer.
"Old General Huang is right. Such a narrow mountain road is indeed inconvenient for us to pursue at the same time. Dasanguan is nearly a hundred miles away from Chencang, and we have to walk for two days. The old general must be cautious when pursuing alone, and must not go alone.
Go deep to avoid falling into Zhang He's plan." Zhao Yun reminded him seriously.
"Zilong let me go?" Huang Zhong was happy to hear this.
"Go, Wang Sheng's chickens and dogs are not worth fighting between the two of us. When Yun settles down and clears up everything, I will follow and join you." Zhao Yun behaved very generously.
"Very good, I'm going to go." Huang Zhong was not polite. He cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and mounted his horse.
The defeated Wei soldiers were howling in the valley. The horseless infantry were quickly overtaken by Huang Zhong. After several encounters, they were unable to withstand the fighting. The surviving Wei infantry had to kneel down and surrender.
It was already dark when Huang Zhong chased out of the valley. He remembered Zhao Yun's instructions to camp at the foot of the mountain, and asked the soldiers to eat compressed dry food to satisfy their hunger at night. After that, he called the captured officers to understand the situation. He also tried to find a way to capture Zhang He before Liu Bei's army arrived.
The guarded Chencang City.
Chencang is an important town in Guanzhong adjacent to the Weishui River. It is about the same distance from Chang'an in the east and Ji County in the west. If Liu Bei takes this city as a stronghold, he can conquer the entire Guanzhong to the east, and join Zhang Fei to occupy Longyou to the west. It is a geographical location
A very important city.
Since the march to Yangpingguan, the portability and hunger-satisfying capabilities of compressed grains were beyond Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's expectations. Without Liu Bei supplying compressed grains to the vanguard, Huang and Zhao would never have been able to carry their baggage as fast as they did.
Zhao Yun was worried that Huang Zhong was greedy for power and advanced rashly. After handing over Dashan Pass to Fu Wei, he marched northward along the mountain road overnight, and finally came out of the valley in the middle of the night to join the front army.
"It's really surprising that Zilong is here. I thought I would set off tomorrow morning. I also said that by the time you arrive, I should have repelled Zhang He." Huang Zhong's smile could not be seen in the night.
