Chapter 1554 There is no refund


    Looking at the camp of General Zhengxi Feiqian in the distance, Liu Bei took a long breath, and then let out a loud voice in the cold wind: "Forward! Attack!"


    Liu Bei didn''t set up his own camp, and he didn''t even carry any equipment and utensils to set up a front-line camp. During this journey, he either won the camp of Zhengxi in the end, defeated General Fei Qian of Zhengxi, or he was defeated and returned to Qi County. And at this moment, it can be said that the most important thing in Sichuan, and the unshielded self-soldiers brought seven or eighty-eight, if it is really defeated, even if it returns to Qi County, I am afraid that this life will not be easy.


    But this is still an opportunity.


    An opportunity to confront General Zhengxi head-on. If Liu Bei misses this time, Liu Bei wonders if he can still get it. Even if he is willing to wait, will other people in Sichuan be willing to wait?


    When the number of people exceeds tens of thousands, it seems boundless.


    Although the number of people is larger than that of Zhengxi, but at this moment, Liu Bei''s face has never been relaxed. He just looked at the Zhengxi camp in the distance. The scorpion is lying on its stomach like a scorpion, showing its fierceness.


    Guan Yu stood beside Liu Bei, with a long knife in one hand and a long beard in the other.


    "According to the time, the third brother is almost here, right?" Liu Bei said softly.


    Guan Yu nodded, and then realized that Liu Bei couldn''t see him, so he responded again: "If it is calculated according to the footsteps, it will be two days."


    The sun has already slanted to the west, and it will soon set.


    As the forward of the whole army, Guan Ping has led the troops towards Zhengxi''s left-wing camp. If you look down from the sky, you will see a red and black triangle, like a huge arrow, piercing towards Zheng. General West''s camp!


    …………………


    Huang Cheng had a deeper understanding of fighting in the mountains and forests.


    Frontal fighting should never be the focus of the mountain camp. Side attacks and backstabs, interspersed and blocked, can better display the powerful and terrifying fighting ability of the mountain camp.


    This time, Huang Cheng was in charge of blocking Fei Qian''s flanks and defending them so that Zhang Fei in Fu County could not take advantage of them.


    Others may not be familiar with the three brothers Liu Bei, but Fei Qian knows very well. If Liu Bei and Guan Yu are dispatched, will Zhang Fei sit back and watch, and will not move at all? Although in this era, the coordination on the battlefield is absolutely impossible to achieve the accuracy of later generations, but the general timing coordination can still be achieved, so once the frontal battlefield starts, the possibility of Zhang Fei coming to attack from the flanks will be very high. big.


    For Huang Cheng, if he wants to blockade and protect Fei Qian''s flanks, the biggest problem is not **** the enemy, but how to find the enemy, catch up with the enemy, or even bypass the enemy. Because of the terrain, fighting in the mountains and forests is doomed not to be like fighting on flat ground. The two sides line up and fight each other. It can only be a surprise attack and a counter-surprise attack. In fact, it is a battle where life and death can only happen in an instant.


    In the mountains and forests, for the mountain soldiers who have been trained for a long time, the biggest threat is not food. First, Feiqian''s powerful logistics support system at any cost is indeed better than the level of many elite princes. The intake of fat in this aspect is already completely crushed. The importance of oil is not only reflected in the provision of energy, but also includes many aspects, and even affects the development of intelligence. In the process of genetic evolution for thousands of years, the intake of oil can produce a full stomach and happiness. The feeling is irreplaceable by eating anything else.


    At the same time, as Huang Cheng''s soldiers who trained for the mountains from the beginning, it is also a basic skill to use local materials, such as wild worms and wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains and forests. At least what kind of mushrooms and wild fruits can''t He still knows how to eat, which is much better than most ordinary soldiers.


    Therefore, in fact, for Huang Cheng and others, the biggest impact is the problem of roads.


    Strictly speaking, it is easy to get lost.


    Among the mountains and forests, at a glance, they are all mountains and trees. Although the shapes and numbers may be slightly different, in fact, when the human brain is lazy all the time, it is impossible to remember what is on each mountain. The difference is that if you are not careful, you will get lost, and then fall into the vicious circle that the more you worry, the more you can''t get out, until you run out of energy, become a delicacy for wild beasts, and turn into fertilizer for weeds in the mountains and forests.


    However, since Zhengxi General Fei Qian entered Langzhong, his relationship with the local people in Sichuan and Shu has been getting closer and closer day by day. Therefore, in Huang Cheng''s hands, there is also a map that looks a little rough, and the people on it are the people. Some of the marked hunting trails are roads known only to hunters who have been walking in the mountains all year round...


    And these mountain roads not only allow Huang Cheng to rest among the mountains, but also to go around and catch up with Zhang Fei...


    …………………


    Zhang Fei roared loudly, urging the soldiers to speed up. The voice was so loud that Zhang Fei''s roar seemed to echo non-stop in the mountains and forests on both sides.


    Although Zhang Fei knew that the physical exertion of his pawns would be huge if he was traveling like this, but his eldest brother and second brother were confronting Zhengxi head-on in Qi County, so how could he move forward with peace of mind and at a leisurely pace?


    Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to guard Fu County to defend against Zhengxi''s attack on Central Sichuan, but if Zhengxi defeated and captured Liu Bei, then even if Zhang Fei defended Fu County well, what''s the point?


    Therefore, after Zhang Fei received Liu Bei''s message, he almost mobilized all the troops in Fu County without hesitation, rushed to Qi County, and rushed to the flank of Fei Qian, General Zhengxi.


    Of course, there are risks in doing so, but Zhang Fei also has ideas. After all, Zhang Fei knows that this time is also a great opportunity, because after receiving the news, he has to hurry, so Zhang Fei has no time to recruit more people. Temperament, even if Fu County is emptied, it will not hesitate!


    As long as you can defeat Masai, everything is worth it!


    "Hurry up! Hurry up!" Zhang Fei roared again, buzzing so loudly that it seemed that the mountains and forests were shaking.


    Zhang Fei entered in a frank manner, and did not even take any precautions at all. In his opinion, it was a waste of time to take precautions along the way. This is not entirely because of Zhang Fei''s recklessness, but because of Zhang Fei''s I think the most important thing is to rush to the vicinity of Qixian County as soon as possible, and together with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, they will encircle and attack the West Zheng army.


    Furthermore, the Zhengxi troops who invaded the previous time also retreated, and they probably won''t turn back so quickly. Zitong, Fu County has been very peaceful recently, and no unusual movements have been found. Even if the Zhengxi troops are aware of their attack Movement, as long as you move fast enough, even Zhengxi''s men and horses will not be able to catch up if they want to catch up!


    Zhang Fei''s soldiers responded weakly, and continued to move forward. The queue was long and extended along the official road, winding and undulating.


    Suddenly, the soldiers hiding in the bushes at the back of the forest rushed out from the Xishan army, raised their sabers, formed a small formation of three or five people, and launched a surprise attack on Zhang Fei''s soldiers!


    Almost all the small formations of soldiers conquering the Western Mountains were two or three people in front drawing their swords and rushing in, while some soldiers in the back raised their hand crossbows and shot the first wave of deadly crossbow bolts!


    Hand crossbows can''t compare with kicking crossbows in terms of strength and range, but they are still deadly at close range. A row of crossbow bolts shot out, and many of Zhang Fei''s soldiers were shot in the face or chest before they had time to see the charging opponent clearly. With bones attached, even ordinary leather armor will be shot through if it is shot from the front. Only a few of those wearing iron armor can rely on iron plates to defend to some extent.


    The sharp crossbows brought out a puff of blood, and Zhang Fei''s soldiers screamed again and again. Many people were shot to the ground immediately, and the formation was in chaos. At this time, the soldiers from Zhengxi Mountain who were rushing forward had already arrived. , and between slashing and waving, another piece of Zhang Fei''s soldiers who couldn''t react fell to the ground with a spring of blood...


    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"


    At this moment, Zhang Fei''s soldiers finally reacted. While roaring, they drew out their sabers and raised their spears to defend.


    The rapid sound of the gong became one piece, breaking the silence among the mountains and forests, awakening countless mountain birds and beasts that inhabited the mountains and forests, and uttering shrill screams, mixed with the screams of human beings, causing the entire valley to panic. It seemed to be shaking.


    "kill!"


    Huang Cheng led a group of soldiers through the woods and rushed forward. In the untrimmed forest, those hanging branches and vines were like small whips, slapping his face and body, which was very painful, but Huang Cheng, like the other soldiers in Zhengxi Mountain, seemed to feel nothing at all. , one by one walking like flying, like walking on flat ground, and they don''t care about the whipping of those branches, as if they are just the gentle touch of a lover.


    Huang Cheng and his soldiers suddenly jumped up, catching Zhang Fei by surprise. Facing the soldiers from Zhengxi Mountain leaping like tigers and leopards in the mountains, these ordinary Sichuan and Shu soldiers led by Zhang Fei were unprepared, and the entire formation was also not good, making it impossible for them to make effective moves. Resisting, some subconsciously prepared to move forward when they were shot head-on by crossbow bolts, and some just blocked the attack from one side before being chopped down by the saber from the other side.


    In fact, for Zhang Fei''s entire army, the number of troops led by Huang Cheng to conquer the Western Mountains is only one-tenth of the number, and the part to be attacked is relatively close to the front. At the end, it is very likely that Zhang Fei will directly adopt the short-tail strategy, so the key point is to hope that Zhang Fei can shrink because of this and slow down his marching speed...


    But even in the first half of the attack, because Zhang Fei''s pawns came along the entire official road, after encountering the attack, in a blink of an eye, Zhang Fei''s formation like a long snake and giant python seemed to be attacked at the same time. A few ferocious badger beasts gnawed and rolled helplessly, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, looking very miserable.


    Zhang Fei''s soldiers on the top of the mountain naturally saw farther away. They saw the soldiers of Zhengxi Mountain rushing out from the valley and woodland, killing their own horses and horses. They clamored loudly in anxiety and held on tightly The weapon in his hand is powerful but he can''t use it. He can only watch helplessly as the chaos in the distance becomes more and more unbearable.


    If it is on flat ground, if it is intercepted into a few pieces of military formations, it can be gathered more or less automatically, and maybe under the command of the lieutenant general, it can outflank left and right, but now it is up and down the mountain, and some are still separated by valleys. , How can this be encircled and outflanked?


    Some of Zhang Fei''s soldiers standing at a low place had their sight completely blocked, and they couldn''t see the specific battle situation at all. It was as if they had encountered an invisible enemy, and they could hear the screams of their own soldiers. It was like meeting a ghost, making these Zhang Fei soldiers feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Kill! Kill and go forward!" Zhang Fei yelled loudly while rushing to the battle site ahead, "Forward! Forward! Don''t block the way! Kill!"


    "General! Three generals!" The guard on the side said hurriedly, "Be careful and there is an ambush! Three generals, why don''t we organize the queue for now..."


    Before the guard finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei with a slap, "No! The eldest brother and the second brother are waiting for someone in Qi County. At this time and here, there is already no retreat! These soldiers who conquered the west want to intercept Yu Mou! What I want is to withdraw my troops for the time being! I can’t retreat, not even a single step! Kill! Kill!”


    Zhang Fei encouraged the soldiers and led the Chinese army to the front. Although the mountain road could not rush forward in one go, the constant congestion of Zhang Fei''s soldiers still brought considerable pressure to the mountain soldiers under Huang Cheng''s command. .


    "Tsk..." Huang Cheng was somewhat surprised by Zhang Fei''s reckless forward rush.


    Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t one lock the array tightly, and then temporarily abandon the attacked part before proceeding to the next move? Why do you rush over without thinking like this, so I’m not afraid of another wave of ambush?


    But the problem is, after all, Huang Cheng still doesn''t know Zhang Fei well enough, nor does he understand the relationship between Zhang Fei and Liu Bei and Guan Yu, so he really didn''t prepare for the second wave of ambushes to deal with Zhang Fei who is in the central army...


    Huang Cheng chopped down Zhang Fei''s soldiers on the opposite side with a knife, and whistled, making his soldiers blow the horn to withdraw troops. "Oh, it''s a pity...if there is enough kerosene...huh..."


    In order to ensure that the soldiers under his command will not be too embarrassed in the mountains and forests, and maintain corresponding physical strength, some cold-proof supplies and dry food account for the vast majority of the carrying share. As for things like kerosene, there are relatively few of them. Many, unless the time and place are really right, it is not so easy for a long snake formation like Zhang Fei to unleash the heavy damage effect like Lu Xun.


    At the same time, the most important thing is that there is also a need for kerosene in Zhengxiyingzhai, and the transfer from Sichuan to Shu is still relatively difficult after all, and the overall quantity is limited, so even if it is a pity at the moment, it is helpless.


    The low sound of the horn echoed in the mountains and forests. Some soldiers of Zhengxi Mountain Camp picked up the weapons that fell on the ground and threw them, and some shot the last crossbow bolt in the hand crossbow, breaking the contact between the two sides. Before the army fully arrived, they gradually withdrew from the battlefield.


    It''s good to be able to kill Zhang Fei, but Huang Cheng knows that the physical strength of his soldiers is not as fierce as it seems. Thinking about it, he knows that although it is a shortcut, the difficulty of climbing and climbing is naturally higher than that of ordinary roads. The bigger it is, the more stamina it consumes. If it weren''t for the special training of its own soldiers, even if the general soldiers arrived at the ambush point, they might not be able to maintain their physical strength for fighting.


    There is no way for Zhang Fei to retreat, but Huang Cheng still has a certain amount of space, so although Huang Cheng has the upper hand in the overall situation, it does not mean that he can use only one-tenth of Zhang Fei''s pawns. Defeat it head-on, so temporary evacuation is naturally the best choice.


    But from now on, the fight with Zhang Fei is actually a prelude...
