Chapter 380 Mountain War
Previously, the generals under Chang Diao marched on the Baoxi Road. After walking a few steps, they encountered a powerful obstacle. They lost heavy losses in the valley above. It is said that Chang Diao himself was buried in the fire.
This time, Guan Ping also took the Baoxia Road, which was full of courage. His generals also kept in mind the previous lessons and kept exploring the roads around the valley above, taking the lead in burning the dead grass that might be used to attract fire, and planning the route of the army, staggered in an orderly manner to ensure that even if they are attacked by fire, no one will be quickly swallowed up by the fire.
There is absolutely no tactic in the world that can restrain everything. Guan Ping firmly believes in this matter and believes that as long as he walks through this most dangerous path, the battle with the enemy's close forces will be very smooth. The ghost soldiers under Zhang Lu's command are not well trained and are not the opponent of this elite soldier of a hundred battles at all.
“But, you can’t be careless.
Zhang Lu has been in charge of this place for many years and has won the hearts of the people here. When we attack Hanzhong, many people will inevitably inform us. The combat power of the Di people under his command is also extraordinary, so we have to be careful."
"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil covers them." Wen Pin has not achieved any outstanding results in the previous battles. This time he made up his mind to show his skills in the battle to pacify Hanzhong.
There are no famous generals in Hanzhong, so how can I be my Wenpin opponent?
Guan Ping was still very relieved to Wenpin's leadership. The troops advanced slowly, rested outside the Shangfang Valley for a night, and spent another night to quickly pass the Shangfang Valley without any resistance.
It can be seen that Zhang Lu's defense was very relaxed and he did not make good arrangements on the battlefield of the upper valley where he had severely damaged the enemy. Even Guan Ping felt it was a pity.
"Maybe Zhang Lu has added troops to the Luo Dao. Our army is now a good opportunity to attack Nanzheng. Please don't miss it!"
Kuai Yue was familiar with Wenpin and sent orders to Wenpin, hoping that Wenpin could make rapid progress with light equipment and quickly win a great victory, and show off his style to the people of Jingzhou.
He judged that after breaking Hanzhong, he would meet with Liu Bei. If they had no relationship with Liu Bei before, they had to achieve enough results on the battlefield if they wanted to compete for more voice.
Wen Pin also understood this. After leaving Shangfang Valley, he confirmed that no one was blocking his progress. He was even more happy. He thought that Zhang Lu had indeed been under his command, and he could not even occupy the favorable terrain. There should be no problem with the road ahead. I want to see who can stop me from moving forward!
But Wen Pin was stunned after dawn.
Because he discovered that a huge gully had been dug in the valley not far south of the upper valley-
That's right, it's the kind of literal gully.
A deep groove appeared on the ground. It seemed that it was not formed naturally, but was dug by someone!
The ground of the valley was very hard, but there were ravines nearly seven feet deep and ten feet wide, like a wide moat that could not be crossed.
The soil and stones around here are still there, and they are obviously dug in a hurry. When Guan Pingjun was traveling carefully, these people happened to work hard here and dug a deep trench.
The digging of soil was made into a simple city wall opposite. I don’t know how many soldiers were hiding behind the city wall, staring at these stunned Wenpinjun sergeants.
Damn, this is actually the case.
Wen Pin is not used to mountain combat, but he didn't expect to meet such a genius as soon as he came.
He looked at him for a long time, but still couldn't help but curse:
"Who is the one on the opposite side? Why do you hide your head and tail? Do you dare to come out to fight me!"
His voice was loud, and his soldiers also roared loudly, and the valley was filled with shouts and scolding.
The soldiers on the opposite side couldn't help but curse. Wen Pin listened quietly and initially judged that the enemy had about one thousand to two thousand, but there were ambushes.
If you force yourself to cross, you are not afraid, but these people can dig such a deep trench in the mountains in a short period of time, which is enough to show that this is a powerful soldier and may have the support of the people.
This made Wenpin a dilemma.
"I am the general Wenpin. Who are you dispatching me? If you are a man, please sign up and don't let people laugh at me."
He yelled again, and the person opposite finally had an echo, and a man seemed to sigh:
"I am... the fake captain Wang Ping, who was ordered to stop your army here. Please do not be angry."
Fake lieutenant Wang Ping?
What official position is this?
Wen Pin reacted for a long time before he realized that the leader on the other side was actually an acting captain, and he almost laughed out loud.
An unknown fake school captain was actually sent to stop our army. Shouldn’t Zhang Lu give him a title of priest?
He pondered for a moment and shouted:
"Person Wang, do you think your men can stop me? Our army has tens of thousands. Even if you dig a hole and fill it, how should you resist it?"
Wang Ping smiled and said loudly:
"Although I don't have many children under my command, they are all good men I have carefully selected. If you can block it for a while, you can block it for a while. As long as you can complete the military order, why not die?"
"this……"
Wang Ping really couldn't get the Wenpeng to punish him.
As an egoist, Wen hired soldiers first to calculate whether this battle is cost-effective and whether it can obtain enough profits.
Wang Ping was willing to hold on here without asking for rewards to complete the task, which really made Wen Pin feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Wen Pin turned around and discussed with his subordinates, and then ordered the soldiers to block in front of him with shields. Everyone moved forward slowly while filling the soil.
He thought Wang Ping would definitely serve him with arrow rain, but he didn't expect that Wang Ping had no intention of shooting arrows at all. The group of people watched Wen Pin's soldiers holding shields and digging and filling the soil hard, which made Wen Pin feel deeply insulted.
What do you want to do if you fight or not?
The ground in the valley was very hard, and the soil dug before was piled up by Wang Ping with skill. Wen Pin could only ask people to dig the soil on the spot. This kind of work progressed very slowly. They did not make much progress until dark. The generals were exhausted and could only go back to rest for the time being.
But at this moment, a series of drum beats with wilderness came to mind in the valley.
Donglong.
Donglong!
Donglong!!!
The drum beats continued, and then there were curses and roars with a blasphemy atmosphere. Wang Ping's army, who was raising energy during the day, attacked together. Wang Ping took the lead and waved an iron halberd to rush in front.
Wenpinjun had already filled a lot of land in the daytime, which happened to be a gentle slope for Wang Ping's army to launch an attack. The generals rushed forward and immediately fought the Wenpinjun into chaos.
Fortunately, Wenpin is also a famous general in all battles.
Seeing that Wang Ping's army had not fired arrows today, he had already had a premonition that Wang Ping might be preparing for a surprise attack. He specifically let Wang Ping see the exhausted appearance of his soldiers, and then ambushed his elite soldiers, and even left a gentle slope for Wang Ping to charge, waiting for Wang Ping to come up and fight to the death with this person!
You can't deal with you through a gully, you rushed up, I see how you fight me!
Seeing Wang Ping taking the lead in front, Wen Pin raised his long halberd and roared:
"What a fake lieutenant, I'll let you see my literary skills!"
His soldiers shouted in unison to the mountains and shouted Dasheng, waiting for Wang Ping to come to the front and then hit him head-on.
But what I never expected was that Wang Ping roared and took the lead, but he suddenly chose to turn around when he was about to climb up the hill!
The generals turned around in the battle? What is this routine?
Wen Pin, who was in the faint light of the torch, thought he had an illusion. He shook his head and calmed down, and then he realized that Wang Ping had actually ran away!
It was not just him, but his soldiers turned around and ran away in one go, as if they were playing.
Wen Pin fought a war all his life, and this was the first time he saw an army that could turn around quickly after launching a charge. Seeing Wang Ping's army retreating like a tide, his soldiers fired arrows in the night without any damage. Wang Ping's army even had time to take away all the wounded one by one.
Although Wang Pingjun was busy for nothing, Wenpin suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as dawn approaches, Wang Pingjun comes again.
This time, there were gongs and drums again, and the momentum was huge, but Wang Pingjun turned around again before he even approached the earth slope.
After all this trouble, the entire Wenpin army was so angry that everyone was so tired that they were out of breath.
Although they did not suffer any damage, and even forced to fight, they wouldn't even think about any earthwork assignments they would do during the day.
Wang Ping spent a night of trouble, and the cost of dozens of injuries exhausted the physical strength of the vanguard of Wen Pinjun. Wen Pin had no choice but to report the matter to Guan Ping in the rear and let Guan Ping have another idea.
Chapter completed!
