Meng Da was not too slow, and walked thirty miles a day. The grain-carrying ship was in the Han River, accompanying the troops on the land. Every day, the sun was just west, Meng Da would set up a camp early

rest.

This attitude confused the Wei army scouts. Meng Da's marching speed was not fast or slow, and he was just right and could not find any problems. However, the baggage ships in the Han River looked like bait no matter how they looked.

Dozens of warships filled with food and grass, and only a dozen small and medium-sized warships escorted it, this is clearly a flaw exposed on purpose.

This flaw is so obvious that the navy of the Wei army in Xiangfan area has been reluctant to attack. Meng Da is also a long-time general who has been fighting for many years. He will not be confused about the importance of food and grass, and it is impossible to be so hasty. He did this very much

It may be a trap.

Five days later, Meng Dada Longzhong Mountain in the west of Fancheng, and the Wei army sent a navy to fight. Meng Da immediately stopped advancing and set up camp on the spot. Luzhai and water village were connected and echoed each other. The Wei army navy was confused, they

A large number of scouts were sent to detect upstream and downstream, but they did not find any ambush in the Shu army. After careful consideration, the Wei army could no longer suppress their impulse and launched a cautious attack.

Meng Da ordered to defend the danger, dragged all the baggage ships to the shore, leaving only the warships to resist on the periphery, and then set up a crossbow formation on the shore to assist the navy in the counterattack. Faced with Meng Da's full-strength counterattack

The Wei army did not dare to be careless, and tried step by step, and arranged at least half of its forces to guard the outside world to prevent Shu army warships from coming to encircle them.

Meng Da set up a charge table on the high ground on the shore. Looking at the warships that were fighting, his mind flew to other places. He knew very well that even if the Wei army was moved, he was limited even if he was moved, and the real battle had not yet been done.

Start. Once the real battle begins, it is thrilling.

Both sides fought for two days, each with injuries, no winner. The Wei army retreated to a safe distance and maintained surveillance of Meng Da. They did not necessarily need to defeat Meng Da, as long as he could not easily approach Fancheng, he could reach the goal.

Purpose. When the baggage ship could not break through the Wei army's interception, Meng Da would either wait for assistance on the spot, wait until he defeated these navy troops before leaving, or change to land. But in that case, his food route would be cut off.

The successful conquering Fancheng was also in danger of being out of food.

The Wei army had to see how Meng Da acted before deciding their next move.

At night, Meng Da closed his eyes and lay in his clothes. A light swayed gently, projecting his tall figure onto the tent, like a giant. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the tent, and Meng Da's eyes were filled with

He opened his eyes, his eyes clear and clear, without a trace of just waking up. As soon as he opened his eyes, Deng Xian lifted up the door of the tent and walked in like a gust of wind.

"General, there is news."

"How?" Meng Da turned over and sat up, and asked anxiously.

"Wei Feng has rushed into the vicinity of Dengsai and can attack at any time."

"Where are the reinforcements of the Wei army?"

"It's right in Dunsay." Deng Xian said happily: "As soon as they go out of the gate, we will definitely swallow them in one bite."

Meng Da didn't say anything. After a moment, he waved his hand vigorously: "Tell me my general order and act according to the plan."

"Here." Deng Xian hesitated for a moment, and reminded with some uncertainty: "General, in this way, we will be alone and deeply in depth, which is very dangerous. Once Wei Ba..."

Meng Da glanced at Deng Xian: "Don't worry, even if Wei Ba can give up on us, he will not be able to give up on his brother. Wealth and honor are in danger. This time, I will accompany these young people to go crazy."

Deng Xian laughed, said nothing, and turned around and went out. Ten thousand Shu troops immediately took action. Each soldier carried half a month's military ration, brought the necessary weapons with him, threw down the baggage ships, and pushed them on one after another.

The baggage chariot quietly got ashore, and even confiscated the tent and left. They walked very secretly, so that the Wei navy, who was monitoring not far away, did not notice it at all, until the few Shu army warships protected it empty.

The baggage ship suddenly retreated, and then he found that Meng Da’s main force on the shore was gone.

The Wei army was shocked and immediately sent someone to search, and at the same time notified the guards of Fancheng to be careful. Meng Da suddenly disappeared, and there was only one possibility. He wanted to attack Fancheng. After receiving the alarm, Fancheng immediately raised the combat readiness to the highest level and at the same time, he was reinforced by Deng Sei's reinforcements.

A warning was issued. As soon as they sent out the alarm, the scouts found Meng Da’s traces.

Meng Da led 10,000 invaders, pushed the baggage carts and rushed towards Fancheng with great momentum. Once he arrived at the city, he did not set up camps, but just placed the baggage camps along Fancheng and lifted up wooden boards.

A sharp arrow shining with cold light appeared.

Half of these baggage chariots are crossbow chariots.

When the defender of Fancheng saw this scene, he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately closed the city gate and ordered everyone to go to the city to prepare for battle.

Meng Da did not attack the city immediately. After preparing for a long time, when night fell, he suddenly put away all the crossbow chariots and disappeared into the vast night, making the Wei soldiers who were waiting for battle at the top of Fancheng confused.

Meng Da took advantage of the night and rushed eastward with an army of 10,000. His real target was not Fancheng, but the three thousand Wei infantry and cavalry who came from Dengsai. He was very familiar with the terrain near Fancheng and knew where it was the best place.

The reason why the battle was stopped at Fancheng for a long time was to give the soldiers some time to breathe, but on the other hand, it was to intimidate the defenders of Fancheng, making them unable to figure out the situation and dare not leave the city easily.

When the moon rose from the East Mountain, Meng Da entered the position, saw Hu Zhi's military camp, and also saw the Wei soldiers who were hurried out of the camp. He couldn't help but smile and issued an order to attack.

Ten thousand Shu army, which had been trained by Meng Da for more than two months, went down the mountain like a tiger, rolled up a storm and swept towards the three thousand Wei troops.

Hu Zhi received the news and led three thousand squadrons out of Dengsai. He controlled his speed and did not approach Fancheng at the first time. No matter how easy Fancheng is to attack, it is not something that ten thousand people can attack in a short time.

His mission is to restrain himself from the side, rather than launching a frontal attack. If Meng Da wants to forcibly attack the city, he will watch from the side, which will not only prevent Meng Da from doing his best, but also will be frustrated when Meng Da’s morale is

At that time, he launched an attack, so he chose to camp ten miles away from the city and prepared to use defense instead of attack.

But he didn't expect that Meng Da took advantage of the night to abandon Fancheng and aimed his main target at him.

When Hu Zhi received the news, although he was a little surprised, he was not worried. After all, he was prepared in this way. He was in a position to defend himself and had the advantage of geographical conditions. In a short period of time, Meng Da could not defeat him. As long as he could hold on until tomorrow morning, he would

A large number of reinforcements arrived. At that time, Meng Da had no way to escape. He wanted to retreat, but with just two legs, he could not escape the pursuit of the Wei army's iron cavalry.

In Hu Zhi's opinion, whether Meng Da wants to attack Fancheng or his original target is him, he is a gambling with no chance of winning. Even if he wins, he will still win miserably, and the final result will inevitably be a miserable defeat.

So Hu Zhi was very calm. Seeing the soldiers of the Shu army rushing up, he issued an order to block the attack in an orderly manner.

However, soon he realized that he was a little careless. Meng Da obviously came prepared and did not even have a test. He launched the most violent attack from the beginning.

Just as the torch was shining, the soldiers of Shu army pushed the crossbow chariot to the front of the formation. With a sharp roar, the dense showers poured down like heavy rain. Even Hu Zhi was a long-standing general who had been through the battle formation and was also under the Shu.

The strength of the military arrow formation was shocked. The Wei soldiers were caught off guard and were shot down by the rain of arrows.

"Kill!" Deng Xian pulled out his battle knife, roared fiercely, and ran wildly with his personal guard camp. He knew very well that if the battle could not be resolved quickly, once dawn, the reinforcements of the Wei army would arrive soon and would

They surrounded them, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Time is life.

Every Shu army soldier understood this, and they followed Deng Xian to charge towards the Wei army camp. Under the illumination of torches, their faces became distorted, like hideous beasts escaped from hell, rushing towards them.

prey.

Hu Zhi did not dare to neglect, and under the cover of his personal guards, he issued orders. Inspired by the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Wei army leaned on the camp to launch a counterattack. The crossbowman pulled the bowstring through the camp grid, pulled the crossbow machine, and shot out a piece.

With sharp arrows, the spearmen stretched out the spears and formed a dense forest of spears to prevent the soldiers of the Shu army from approaching. Compared with the attacking Shu army, they had camps to rely on and took a lot of advantages invisibly.

Deng Xian rushed to the front of the camp and launched a charge again and again towards the gate. The Wei army had a crossbowman at the gate and launched a condescending shooting, and the arrows remained unavoidable. Deng Xian was not willing to be outdone and ordered his personal guards who were good at shooting.

We fought back. Arrows on both sides flew together, and people kept falling down. Screams, sounds of arrows breaking through the air, and sounds of swords slashing, mixed together, shocking groups of mountain birds, watching the fight

The people who were together made terrified screams.

Meng Da went all out, attacking Hu Zhi's Yingpan again and again, while Hu Zhi took advantage of Yingpan's advantage and launched a stubborn counterattack, blocking the Shu army from the camp. However, due to the gap in military strength between the two sides, Hu

The quality was also very hard. Except for the personal guard camp, he basically sent him to the battlefield and barely saved the camp.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a fierce drum sounded from the east of Hu Zhi. Hu Zhi was shocked. Although he sent people to ask for help, it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive in this short period of time.

There is only one possibility, the enemy.

Is it the Shu army or the Wu army? How could they appear behind me? Hu Zhi couldn't figure it out, and this situation was too abnormal.

Hu Zhi couldn't figure it out, but Meng Da was overjoyed. He knew that it must be Wei Feng and Ma Su who arrived. He shouted: "Send an order, the whole army will attack, and be sure to cut off Hu Zhi's head before Wei Feng.

”

As reinforcements arrived, the morale of the Shu army was strong and the offensive became even more fierce. The sound of war drums was like thunder, resounding throughout the sky.

"Kill--" Wei Feng raised his sword and ran away.

"Kill!" A thousand Wei family martial soldiers let out a shocking roar, forming a huge arrow, quickly breaking through the empty Wei army's rear camp and rushing in.
