Chapter 284 Dingjun Mountain
Liu Feng¡¯s secret letter only had three words written on it - Dingjun Mountain. []
!¡ª¡ª
!¡ª¡ª
First release
Huang Zhong flipped through the letter several times, but could not find anything else except these three words.
He couldn't help but look puzzled and asked: "Besides this letter, does the lord have anything else to say?"
The envoy replied: "My lord has said that the key to victory lies in Dingjun Mountain. After the old general explores this place, he will naturally understand my lord's intention."
Huang Zhong nodded slightly and ordered the envoy to go down and rest.
Putting down the secret message in his hand, Huang Zhong turned his attention to the map. To the east of Yangping Pass and on the south bank of Mianshui River, he found the place called Dingjun Mountain.
Theoretically, Yangping Pass only blocks the main road into Hanzhong. In fact, you can also go around to the east of Yangping Pass along the mountain path and over the steep mountains of Chongshan Mountain.
However, although there are small roads to go, the food transportation is unsustainable, and large siege equipment cannot be transported there. It is impossible to capture Yangping Pass with lightly armed soldiers alone.
This is a superficial situation, but Huang Zhong believes that since the general traveled thousands of miles to send him this secret plan, it must make sense.
Therefore, Huang Zhong immediately sent out scouts to take the mountain path and go around the east of Yangping Pass to explore the terrain in the Dingjun Mountain area.
A few days later, the scouts brought back detailed terrain information about Dingjun Mountain. After Huang Zhong analyzed the information in detail, he immediately figured out Liu Feng's intentions.
It turns out that Dingjun Mountain is located on the southeast side of Yangping Pass. This mountain is the only place where the Micang Trail from the south leads to Nanzheng. Because the Micang Road is rugged and difficult to navigate, few people have attacked Hanzhong from Micang since ancient times, so it was decided. Junshan's status is far less important than Yangpingguan.
Even so, if this mountain is occupied, it can threaten Nanzheng to the east and the flanks and rear of Yangping Pass to the west. Although it is difficult to pose a substantial threat, it will also cause panic to the enemy in the overall situation.
There are currently only more than a thousand enemy troops guarding Dingjun Mountain. If Huang Zhong leads an army to cross the Mianshui River south and bypass Yangping via the trail, they will be able to seize Dingjun Mountain unexpectedly and cause serious damage to the enemies of Yangping. A huge shock.
The enemy is afraid of being threatened in the rear and will definitely come to compete for Dingjun Mountain. In this way, the enemy can be extracted from the dangerous pass and annihilated in wild battles.
After weighing the situation, Huang Zhong decided to send troops to Dingjun Mountain.
When Huang Zhong summoned the generals and explained his tactical ideas, General Li Feng Zhang Yi said: "There are few enemies guarding Dingjun Mountain. We can seize them in one fell swoop with our unexpected attack." Although mountains can help the enemy divide their troops, the terrain around Dingjun Mountain is narrow and not conducive to attack. If the enemy just sets up a stronghold at the foot of the mountain to defend themselves and refuses to fight. At that time, our army will not be able to attack it, and the food and grass will not be sufficient. Sooner or later, We still have to abandon the mountain and evacuate, wouldn¡¯t it be all in vain?¡±
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled, and said happily: "I have thought about this before, but based on the information brought back by the scouts, I think the mountains around Dingjun Mountain are an excellent piece of land given to us by God. As long as we can occupy this mountain, the rest is not a concern."
Zhang Yi and other generals were convinced that Huang Zhong was a capable general. Seeing that their coach was so confident, they stopped talking.
At this time, Huang Zhong was sighing in his heart: The general is far away in Hebei, but he can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. He is really a god
A few days later, Huang Zhong's army set off.
Of the 30,000-strong army, Huang Zhong left 10,000 to guard the main camp. With Zhang Yi as the vanguard, 20,000 lightly-armed troops crossed the Mianshui River southward, secretly crossed Micang Mountain, and reached the southeast of Yangping Pass. Three days later, he unexpectedly appeared. At the enemy camp in Dingjun Mountain.
There was heavy fog that day. Under the cover of the weather, Zhang Yi led 3,000 vanguard Shu troops into the enemy camp, just like chopping vegetables and melons, killing more than a thousand enemy troops until ghosts cried and wolves howled, and the blood was washed into a river. More than a thousand enemy troops were almost wiped out, leaving only a few dozen people who managed to escape the massacre and fled back to Yangping Pass in a panic.
After unexpectedly capturing Dingjun Mountain, Huang Zhong set up two strongholds at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, on the east and west wings, and divided his troops to defend them, creating a posture ready to go east and west, threatening Nanzheng and Yangping Pass at the same time.
The fall of Dingjun Mountain shocked Yangping Pass guard Zhao Yun.
Because Liu Bei was competing with Liu Feng for supremacy in the Central Plains, Hanzhong's troops had been depleted. At this moment, there were only less than a thousand defenders left in the direction of Nanzheng. At this time, Dingjun Mountain fell into the hands of the enemy. As for the stability of the people in Hanzhong, It will inevitably have a considerable impact.
After ascertaining the strength of the enemy and confirming that the enemy general who attacked Dingjun Mountain was Shu army commander Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun did not dare to underestimate him and immediately left 5,000 troops at Yangping Pass., led 10,000 troops and horses to Dingjun Mountain.
In response to the two camps set up by the Shu army, Zhao Yun also set up two large camps in the east and west with his back to Mian River, trying to block Huang Zhong's east and west marching routes.
When Gao was stationed on Dingjun Mountain and saw the enemy troops setting up a stronghold, Huang Zhong smiled.
Now that the enemy's plan was successful, Zhang Yi and other generals called for battle one after another, asking the entire army to attack and break through the fortress set up by Zhao Yun.
Obviously, Zhao Yun also knew that Dingjun Mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since his own troops were few, it would be difficult to seize the mountain by force.
And Zhao Yun also knew that the Shu army came lightly armed and must not carry much food, so he faced tit-for-tat and only set up two strongholds to defend but not attack.
Zhao Yun¡¯s purpose is very clear. He just wants to consume Huang Zhong¡¯s food.
i He had no choice but to withdraw his troops on his own. In this case, the troops of Dingjun Mountain could recover without any bloodshed.
Huang Zhong¡¯s 20,000-strong army came over the mountains, bringing only less than ten days¡¯ worth of food. This was also the main reason why Zhang Yi and other generals took the initiative to ask for a fight.
Huang Zhong certainly knows the strengths and weaknesses of his own army, and it is imperative to take the initiative to attack.
However, what Huang Zhong is worried about is that it is not difficult to forcefully break through the enemy's stronghold with superior force. The difficulty lies in that if the enemy loses and retreats to Yangping Pass to defend it, his strategic goal of capturing Yangping Pass will still not be achieved.
The only way is to deal with Zhao Yun at Dingjun Mountain. Taking advantage of the victory, his army follows the enemy's defeated army and rushes into Yangping Pass.
After conducting careful reconnaissance of the terrain around Dingjun Mountain and the deployment of enemy soldiers and generals, Huang Zhong decided to adopt the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements.
According to the available intelligence, Zhao Yun led 7,000 troops to guard the west camp. This means that the enemy's east camp has only about 3,000 troops, and its defensive capabilities are relatively weak.
Huang Zhong's plan was very simple. He ordered Zhang Yi to lead an army of eight thousand to encircle the enemy's east camp without attacking, so that Zhao Yun's army from the west camp could be sent to relieve the siege.
At this time, the main force led by Huang Zhong can ambush at the foot of Dingjun Mountain and attack Zhao Yun's reinforcements halfway.
If Zhao Yunyu wants to rescue Dongying, he must pass through an open plain in front of Dingjun Mountain. This is where Huang Zhong chose to ambush.
"Behind the main peak of Dingjun Mountain, there is a large natural depression, which can gather at least tens of thousands of troops.
"The distance between the top of Dingjun Mountain and the foot of the mountain is no more than two hundred steps at most. Such a height difference is neither too high nor too low, which is suitable for ambushes on the mountain to rush down quickly.
Huang Zhong guessed that it was this favorable location that led Liu Feng to use Dingjun Mountain as the location to defeat the enemy.
But Huang Zhong couldn't understand that after Liu Feng captured Yizhou, he only stayed in Shuzhong for less than half a year before returning to Jingzhou. I believe he didn't know much about the geographical advantages of Shuzhong, but how could he do it? Are you so familiar with Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong?
Of course Huang Zhong would not have guessed that Liu Feng actually did not understand the terrain of Dingjun Mountain at all. Liu Feng's secret plan was based on his memory of that period of history that no longer existed.
Liu Feng remembered that in history, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he sent all his troops to attack Hanzhong. It was at the battle of Dingjun Mountain that he killed Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan, thus breaking through Yangping Pass and opening up the passage into Hanzhong.
In that battle, Liu Bei was unable to attack Yangping for a long time, and finally had to change the battlefield to Dingjun Mountain.
Therefore, Liu Feng thought that if this was the case, it would prove that the terrain of Dingjun Mountain should be beneficial to the attackers, so he secretly taught Huang Zhong this strategy to defeat the enemy.
Liu Fengjue, with Huang Zhong's military skills, would surely be able to understand the importance of Dingjun Mountain just like Liu Bei did with a little reminder.
Facts have proved that Liu Feng¡¯s suspicion was indeed correct.
The strategy has been decided, and at night the next day, all armies will act according to the plan.
That night, Lieutenant General Zhang Yi led eight thousand troops out of Youzhai and launched a night attack on the enemy's east camp.
The enemy's right battalion was guarded by Wu Lan, whose strength was no more than three thousand. Because the number of soldiers was small, antlers were set up outside the stronghold, heavy trenches were dug, and the fortifications were considered strong.
Zhang Yi took advantage of the cover of night and planted many torches, and ordered the sergeants to beat drums and shout, creating the illusion of an incoming army. After midnight, the night wind suddenly picked up. Zhang Yi took advantage of the wind and ordered his soldiers to attack the camp with torches, burning most of the antlers on the northwest side of the enemy camp.
Zhang Yi's bluff and the downwind fire attack made Wu Lan mistakenly think that Huang Zhong's main force was coming to attack. Frightened, the company sent several riders to the west camp to ask for help from Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was afraid that Dongzhai was lost, and originally planned to go to the rescue, but he was worried that it was dark and the enemy's whereabouts were unknown, and he was afraid that he would be ambushed by the enemy, so he always hesitated.
?It was not until dawn that Zhao Yun received several calls for help from Wu Lan and then decided to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to leave the stronghold and go straight to Dongying.
At this time, Huang Zhong had already led his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to hide in the Tianwa behind Dingjun Mountain all night. It was a cold night on the mountain and he had been freezing all night. When it was about to break, he finally saw the enemy on the top of the mountain. Military shadow.
Looking up, I saw thousands of soldiers and horses rushing past Dingjun Mountain.
Obviously, the sky depression on the top of the mountain effectively hid Huang Zhong's whereabouts, so that the scouts sent by Zhao Yun failed to detect the enemy's ambush, so Zhao Yun dared to rush his army and passed by Dingjun Mountain without warning.
In his eyes as the murderous intent gradually faded, the blazing fighting spirit burned, and Huang Zhong seemed to be able to feel that the rusty sword in his hand was trembling with excitement at this moment.
The veteran general got on his horse, holding a big sword in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army attacks"
With the flags fluttering and the drums beating like thunder, Huang Zhong took the lead and rushed down the mountain.
Behind him, 10,000 elite Shu troops, following the seventeen-year-old veteran, were all over the mountains and plains, killing the enemy troops at the foot of the mountains. - Didn't finish reading?
