    Chapter 170 "Wei Yan Zhan Xu Huang"

    After the camp was built, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan sent soldiers to the camp of Cao almost every day to curse and provoke. Unfortunately, Cao's camp was closed tightly, and there was no sound inside. Only when the Shu soldiers approached the camp with great force, the soldiers inside were ready.  Only then did Cao Jun use dense bows and arrows to deal with them.  1(1)

    Time passed like this, and the temperature gradually dropped with the change of seasons. Some soldiers from the south began to get sick and even died.  Although Hua Tuo and other military doctors prepared a large amount of medicinal herbs, the power of nature cannot be resisted by artificial means.

    But Liu Jia, who was sitting in the Chinese army, was not in a hurry, because not long after the army arrived at the foot of Yumi City, Ma Su, who was in charge of gunpowder manufacturing, had already sent more than 3,000 kilograms of gunpowder.  With all this gunpowder, why are you afraid of your camp?

    He quietly ordered Zhao Yun to send people to harass Cao Jun outside the camp day and night to paralyze Cao Jun, while asking some soldiers to dig trenches quietly.  These trenches did not lead to Cao's camp in a straight line but moved in a zigzag shape to reduce the damage done by Cao's bows and arrows.

    Xu Huang and others are not stupid, because Liu Jia's army has used gunpowder twice. Although the scale was small each time, the impact was unprecedented.  If Cao Jun only suspected that Zhao Yun was going to use gunpowder on the first day when Zhao Yun directed his soldiers to dig trenches, then on the second day they knew what Zhao Yun was going to do without even thinking about it.

    Xu Huang reported Zhao Yun's movements to Cao Cao, while working together with Cao Hong. In the end, the two decided that instead of waiting for death, they would rush out and destroy the trench they dug.

    On the afternoon of the next day, Xu Huang and Cao Hong left Wenpin, the surrendered general of Jingzhou, to guard the stronghold, and then they led their troops to fight out.  Cao Jun had been holding back his anger for a long time.  I finally released it today, and the momentum was really amazing.

    Compared with Cao Jun, Zhao Yun's troops were much inferior, because "unexpectedly" Cao Jun was killed at this time, leaving only some soldiers who were cursing and some soldiers digging trenches in front of the battle. When Cao Jun surged out, these  The man turned around and ran away.  He moved quickly and barely escaped back to the camp.  Those who moved slowly became Cao Jun's target.

    Xu Huang did not intend to kill the enemy. When he saw Zhao Yun's soldiers fleeing, he did not pursue them.  After arriving at the trench, most of the soldiers were on guard around it, while some of the soldiers filled the trench according to the plan before departure.

    Not long after, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan came with their troops shouting.  When the two armies met, it was a good fight: Zhao Yunting used his spear to attack Cao Hong, and Wei Yan wielded his sword to attack Xu Huang.  At the beginning, the soldiers on both sides were evenly matched, and the battle soon became intense.  The shouts from both sides were earth-shattering.

    But as the number of soldiers on Zhao Yun's side increased, the battle began to tilt toward Chengdu's side.  In particular, Zhao Yun became more and more courageous as he fought, and Cao Hong was only able to parry and was unable to fight back.  The original intention of Xu Huang and Cao Hong in sending troops this time was just to fill in the trenches dug by the opponent. Now that they saw that the trenches were basically filled, and Cao Hong was at a disadvantage, he immediately withdrew his troops upon seeing this.

    Zhao Yun and Wei Yan took advantage of the victory and pursued for a while. They did not retreat back to the camp until the bows and arrows in Cao's camp blocked them.

    The battle situation returned to its previous state, and Zhao Yun once again directed the soldiers to curse and dig trenches.  Xu Huang and Cao Hong saw the opportunity, and usually stayed in the stronghold for a while, but when they saw that the Shu soldiers were alone, they rushed out quickly.  Most of the time, the battle is quick and decisive - as long as Zhao Yun arrives with his troops, he will only resist for a while and then retreat back to the camp.

    It doesn¡¯t take careful statistics to know that the losses of both sides are basically equal. The two sides fought back and forth. The only result was that the land in front of the two camps was stained red by the blood of hundreds of soldiers lost in each battle, and these red lands were also because of  The relaxation caused by excavation, filling, excavation and filling again.  More than ten days later.  The land here caused the war horses to sink into the loose soil again and again.

    When news of the situation reached Cao Cao¡¯s camp, Cao Cao and others were a little puzzled.  After Cao Cao waved the soldiers who reported the news to go down, he asked Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others: "Do you see anything? Why did Liu Jia'er do this? They have fewer men and horses than us, so if both sides continue to suffer almost the same damage, they will  Wouldn¡¯t it be a big loss in the end?¡±

    Jia Xu nodded first, and then shook his head. Everyone didn't know what he meant, and they all stared at him.  After a while, Jia Xu said: "I can't figure it out. Maybe Liu Jia knows that we are just wasting time with them now. As long as it comes to mid-January next year, they will feel uncomfortable. So they must defeat us in the short term. Once  They are grinding us down again. As soon as we can't help shrinking, they dig trenches to our fence and blow our camp to pieces"

    Cao Cao shook his head and said: "War is not a child's play. We have more people and horses than them, and we are fighting on our own land. We clearly know that as long as they dig trenches, our camp will be in danger. How can we shrink?"  ? It would be excusable if it was a second trial, but now they areThey had been doing this for many days, and the number of casualties on both sides was not 8,000 but 5,000 or 6,000. Is it worth doing this?  ".

    After hearing what Cao Cao said, Jia Xu felt that something was wrong with what he had just thought. He nodded gently and stopped talking.  He was still confused as to why Liu Jia and the others did this.

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "I can't figure it out. Maybe it makes us become careless or makes us get used to it?"

    Cao Cao snorted and asked, "Zhongda, how do you say this?"

    Sima Yi said: "The two of us are fighting back and forth like this. One rushes out and fills the land, and the other fights out and excavates. After going back and forth a few times, they estimate that we are used to it. By then they can secretly bring us in from behind.  A large number of troops are ambushing around our camp, and once we go out to fight as usual, they can intercept and kill our troops."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded and said: "It's possible, it's indeed possible, it's true or false."

    Cheng Yu said excitedly: "Since they can do it, why can't we do it? Why don't we do one"

    Several people said in unison: "Use the trick!"

    This morning, the thick winter fog still filled the entire battlefield, and no one could be seen clearly from thirty steps away.  However, due to the tacit understanding between the two sides during this period, Cao Jun's detective horse also truly understood the situation of Zhao Yun's soldiers digging trenches. Therefore, as usual, Xu Huang and Cao Hong led their troops to fight out with shouts.

    When the soldiers who were immersed in excavation heard the shouts, they habitually grabbed their tools and ran away.  While Cao Jun sent troops to pursue the enemy in a leisurely manner, he also asked some soldiers to fill in the trenches that had been filled countless times.

    As expected, when Cao Jun pursued the "designated" position, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led their troops to kill them.  The two armies opened the battlefield in the thick fog. As both sides shouted louder, they would fight each other again. Zhao Yun was still fighting Cao Hong, and Wei Yan was clearly killing Xu Huangren. The movements became more intense and the weapons danced faster.  But the roar was much calmer than before. It was obvious that everyone was acquaintances and there was no need to use words to embolden or intimidate each other.

    If someone observes carefully, they may find another significant difference from before, that is, both parties seem to be much more confident than before.  Especially Cao Hong, who was slightly inferior to Zhao Yun in terms of skills. After a hundred rounds of fighting with Zhao Yun, he no longer turned around and walked away like in the past. Instead, he gritted his teeth and fought fiercely. His tense face was always filled with a look of joy.  Ruowei smiled.  This made Zhao Yun a little inexplicable and strange, although he himself kept smiling today.

    The situation with Wei Yan and Xu Huang was similar, except that their martial arts were relatively close, so neither of them exerted their full strength, and they were both confidently waiting for something.

    Unlike the four generals, the soldiers on both sides thought that the situation today was not right. Today did not seem to be the same as before: after fighting for a period of time, Cao Jun retreated to his camp to rest behind closed doors, while Zhao Yun's troops were showing off their power outside Cao Jun's camp.  They patrolled the ground for a while, and then left the soldiers who were watching the excavations. The large army returned to their camps to rest and wait for the next game.

    Today's battle lasted far longer. The generals were still fighting. The shouts were louder and lower, and the drums were beating louder and looser. The soldiers were all asking themselves: "Will the winner be determined today?"  "

    Of course, these soldiers are just doubting in their hearts. They have no time to think about this or the ability to think about it, because as long as they are distracted, the opponent's weapons will greet them - either missing arms and legs, or a hole and a pool of blood.  Their morale was a little low due to doubts, but they also gritted their teeth and persevered because of strict discipline.  They are elite soldiers on both sides. In addition to their strong bodies, they can do what they command and forbid better than other soldiers!

    Suddenly, deafening shouts came from both sides of them!  The sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the iron hooves of the war horses made the earth tremble: obviously a large number of people and horses appeared on both sides of them.

    Some of the soldiers who were fighting were panicked, and some had pale faces. The movements of the soldiers on both sides invariably slowed down.  I was wondering in my heart: Is it an enemy or a friend?

    Just when the soldiers were in shock and a few generals were confident to fight, Cao Hong suddenly cheered up and shouted: "Go away!"

    With this shout, the silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand that was pointed directly at Cao Hong's abdomen was hit hard by the opponent's weapon. There was only a bang, and the tip of the spear slid past Cao Hong.  When Zhao Yun calmly put away his gun, Cao Hong picked up the reins of his horse and let the horse run a few steps to the side, temporarily out of Zhao Yun's killing range, and then shouted excitedly and loudly: "Our reinforcements have arrived! Zhao Yunzhong and our King of Wei are surrounded by  It¡¯s an ambush plan!¡±

    After shouting, Cao Hong yelled again: "Kill¡ª¡ª!"

      He shouted as he faced Zhao Yun who was rushing over and killed him.

    The soldiers on both sides were stunned, and their movements stagnated again.  Just when the morale of Cao's army was high and the morale of Chengdu soldiers was low, a burst of laughter came from the battlefield: "Haha"
