Chapter 218 Horse Disaster in Guanzhong
Outside Chencang City, the Wei army abandoned countless corpses and withdrew again to their headquarters camp. Facing this fortified city in the northwest, tens of thousands of Wei troops fought hard for so long but still failed to defeat it.
Although there were only 5,000 defenders in the city, they displayed a very high level of technology. The Wei army besieged it several times, and the latest one once broke into Wengcheng.
But that was all, and he was finally pushed out by the Shu army. Until now, the Wei army is still standing outside Chencang City.
"Bo Dao, Bo Dao, you missed something important!" Guo Huai muttered with a frown as he looked at the blood-soaked city in the main camp's military tent.
This fortified city was originally owned by the Wei army, but unfortunately it was lost by a general who liked Long Yang's good-looking women's clothing. Now the whole Guanzhong is burying this general, sabotaging big things for his own little things.
Guo Huai did not comment on this and did not follow suit. Because as the governor of Yongzhou, he knew that Hao Zhao did not lose unfairly.
It can only be said that God did not bless the Wei Dynasty and caused such a pervert to appear in Xishu.
Fortunately, according to intelligence, that bastard is still suppressing the clan rebellion in Shu. There are no generals in Longyou in a short period of time. Even if Chencang is difficult to occupy, it is not a big problem.
At most, just chew it for a while. Do you have more people to spend with me, Da Wei?
"Guo Governor, I guess it's not easy to break Chen Cang." Chen Tai also walked over and said helplessly, holding Guo Huai's hand.
"Wang Ping, the general of Shu, occupied the danger of Chencang and defended the important position of Longshan. Although we have a hundred thousand people, we have no place to use them."
There is one thing he didn't say, that is, Fei Yi will be stationed with heavy troops later. The Wei army simply did not dare to bypass Chencang to block the Shu army's food route, which made the Wei army's battle extremely difficult.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's old plan has begun to shine. The dangers of Longshan and Chencang were like the mountains and rivers of Shu, becoming a barrier for the Shu army.
Although the Wei army was well-equipped and powerful, it had no place to use it.
This made Wei Jun feel very uncomfortable, as if he was facing an iron bastard, unable to speak. Even though Guo Huai and Chen Tai are both famous generals, they are helpless in the face of such dangers.
"What can we do about this? Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty led the army of the world to conquer Longyou, and ended up fighting for several years." Guo Huai smiled bitterly and spread his hands to express that he had nothing to do.
"Our current troops and horses are not as good as those of the Hou Han Dynasty in the past, but the military strength of Xi Shu on the opposite side is far greater than that of Wei Xiao. With the current situation, it is basically impossible to quickly regain Longyou."
"Fight slowly. Anyway, we are the superior side, and the Shu army can only be beaten passively. When General Cao Zhen makes a surprise attack on Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley, many things will be solved."
"I hope so..." Chen Tai sighed and wiped the solidified blood on his face.
But before he finished speaking, a soldier hurriedly broke in through the door. Without any regard for etiquette, he hurriedly came to Guo Huai's side.
"General Zhenxi! Chang'an came to report that General Cao was defeated by the Shu army in Ziwu Valley, and the entire army was defeated and returned to Chang'an. Shu general Ma Su came out of Ziwu Valley and was operating on the grain road behind our army!"
"Fuck me!"
"What?"
Guo Huai and Chen Tai were shocked when they heard this.
Cao Zhen's defeat in Ziwu Valley was nothing, it was just that he could not achieve his set goal.
It's okay for the Shu army to leave Ziwu Valley. It's considered good if a few thousand people can get out of that broken road. When the time comes, it will be easy to surround and annihilate everything in the food road.
but! Adding Ma Di, a Shu general, to this foundation, everything went wrong!
Guo Huai, in particular, was very impressed with Ma Su's guerrilla attacks. This belongs to the master who can poke a hole for you if you give him a crack.
But didn't he say that he was still suppressing the clan traitors in Shu? It's only been a few months, why did he suddenly come out of Ziwu Valley at this time?
"Oops! Our food supply is in danger!" Then, Guo Huai quickly grasped the key point, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
In the past two years, Yongzhou has basically had no chance to operate well under Shu Ji's guerrilla attacks. A hundred thousand troops are now besieging Chencang, and every day people, food, horses and chews have to be transported from Chang'an.
When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold. A hundred thousand people, spending a thousand gold a day!
From Guanzhong through Sanfu to Yongzhou, the road itself is very long. And most of this long range is plain!
This also means that their food channels are extremely fragile and can be easily cut off.
Normally, this should be the rear area of your home, so there will generally be no problems. But now there is a sudden horse disaster, which becomes a big problem.
Guo Huai was a little panicked for a while, but he quickly calmed down.
"Uncle Xuan, we must immediately divide our troops to help the Sanfu area! If Ma Su is allowed to plunder Sanfu, I am afraid that one hundred thousand of us will starve to death in Yongzhou!" Guo Huai quickly grabbed Chen Tai's hand. , said seriously to his colleagues.
"But I still need to stay in Yongzhou, and I can't leave at this moment. I don't know Uncle Xuan..."
"It's okay! I'll take care of Ma Su!" Before Guo Huai finished speaking, Chen Tai nodded with understanding.
"Ma Di came out of Ziwu Valley with only five thousand people at most. Moreover, he is only good at running long distances and rushing into formations, so his actual combat power is not very strong."
"Give me 30,000 men. I will quickly go south via the Weishui River, arrive at Wugong, and then raid the Sanfu area. In less than a month, Ma Di's head will be enough to be delivered to the general's tent."
Although Chen Tai faced off against the Shu army, the main battle was still against Wang Ping. Because he didn't really appreciate Ma Di's ability to rush into battle, he always blamed his last failure on Wang Ping's high level (it seems he wasn't wrong either)
So after Guo Huai made the suggestion, Chen Tai immediately made a statement and quickly divided 30,000 troops down the river to rush to the aid of Guanzhong Sanfu.
After asking Chen Tai to come to the rescue, Guo Huai was still not reassured. After thinking about it for a while, he sent a letter to Chang'an, asking Cao Zhen to send someone to meet Chen Tai.
Facing Ma Su, a seamless and non-drilling mosquito with a titanium alloy drill bit, Guo Huai showed great respect.
However, if Guo Huai looks at the map, he will find a problem. Chen Taishun's return to Guanzhong via the Weishui River is not slow, it just has to pass through a certain place.
The name of that place is Wuzhangyuan, and next to Wuzhangyuan is Baoxie Road...

On the main road of Sanfu in Guanzhong, a large grain transport team was marching. They are the team responsible for transporting food to the Yongzhou front line, with more than 10,000 chariots, horses and civilians.
Even the escorting soldiers must be accompanied by thousands of people.
This time is different from Chen Cangdao. After all, the order of magnitude is not on the same level.
When we originally transported grain to 10,000 people, there were only a few people in the grain team. And this time to transport food to 100,000 people, the number of natural guards was extremely large.
Normally, it would be very troublesome for such a huge team to be harassed by just a few people like Ma Su. They were outnumbered, and Ma Su had more than a thousand non-headquarters soldiers and horses in addition to his own troops.
In fact, Ma Di did not directly break into the Wei army.
However, when the Wei army was halfway through, they found that they could no longer move. Because there are rows of simple antlers on the road ahead...
