Cao Ren never expected that reinforcements would arrive, but unexpectedly they turned out to be enemy troops.
As for when the enemy army appeared behind him, Cao Ren had no intention of thinking about it.
Because under the attack from the two armies, Cao Ren finally couldn't hold on.
After all, although Maijishan, which Cao Ren originally ran, was impregnable, the defense targets were all positive.
Who would have thought that there would be enemy troops behind us?
Therefore, there was no defense at all, and the defense line was completely breached.
Under the desperate protection of his men, Cao Ren finally got rid of the siege of Ma Chao's army and only escaped with his own life.
As for the 20,000 troops brought out by Cao Ren, they did not have such good luck.
Under the front and rear attacks of Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, the casualties were very heavy, and almost no one was able to escape back to Shanggui.
In this way, the only Maiji Mountain checkpoint before Shanggui City was also broken through by Huang Zhong's army.
Since then, Shanggui has finally been completely exposed to the opponent's attack.
After Cao Ren fled back to Shanggui in embarrassment, everyone in Xiahou Yuan was shocked.
Originally, in the morning, Cao Ren defended well, and the opponent could not advance even a single inch.
He thought he could at least guard it for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he went down, he would be broken through by the opponent.
When asked carefully, the results are even more unbelievable.
An army unexpectedly appeared from behind and attacked Cao Ren, causing Maijishan to be lost.
The generals Xia Houyuan couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.
However, things have come to this, even if you don¡¯t believe it, things have become a reality.
There is no point in dwelling on it now. We can only quickly discuss how to deal with Huang Zhong's next attack.
After experiencing this failure, Cao Ren had no hope for defense.
Therefore, he believes that he should take the initiative while the opponent is not on a stable footing. Only in this way can he avoid falling into passivity.
But some people have put forward different views.
" I believe that relying on a strong city like Shanggui City, we must make full use of its value and take advantage of the danger.
Then, after the other party is tired, the best strategy is to act when the opportunity arises.
"Otherwise, if we abandon the fortified city and fight the enemy in the field, wouldn't we be using the enemy's shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?"
There are various opinions, each with its own truth, and it¡¯s really hard to make a choice for a while.
In the end, Xia Houyuan finally made a decision after considering everyone's opinions.
He originally had an army of 100,000, but he had just lost 20,000 to Cao Ren, and now he only had 80,000 left.
Among the 80,000, 50,000 troops are planned to remain stationed in Shanggui City to engage in a head-to-head decisive battle with the opponent.
The other 30,000 soldiers and horses, commanded by Cao Ren, were stationed at Guatai Mountain to the north of Shanggui as an ambush.
Guatai Mountain is thirty miles away from Shanggui City, separated by Zhongliang Mountain.
Therefore, looking from the direction of Shanggui, it is not easy to spot the ambush over there.
After a tug-of-war broke out below the city, Cao Ren, who was ambushing over there, could take the opportunity to break out and drive back the enemy in one fell swoop.
In order to enhance the offensive power of Cao Ren's army, Xiahou Yuan also specially handed over the 10,000 Qiang cavalry to Cao Ren.
Anyway, if these people are used to defend the city, their strength will be greatly weakened.
It¡¯s better to remain a cavalryman and use all your advantages.
After Cao Ren accepted the order, he led his troops and horses northward across Zhongliang Mountain overnight, and laid an ambush before Huang Zhong's troops arrived.
On the day after Cao Ren's army left, Huang Zhong's troops finally arrived and stationed themselves outside Shanggui City.
Xia Houyuan, who was standing at the top of the city, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the number of enemy troops.
Originally, besides him, Huang Zhong would definitely bring all 100,000 troops to the city.
But at this moment, I saw that there were less than 50,000 people.
These were put together after Ma Chao came to join them. Otherwise, Huang Zhong would have fewer soldiers and horses.
Such a large number naturally made Xia Houyuan almost unable to bear the urge to rush out while his foothold was not stable.
However, at the last moment, Xia Houyuan finally suppressed his inner impulse and did not take action immediately.
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Xia Houyuan has been dealing with Huang Zhong for a long time. How can you not know the opponent's tricks?
Huang Zhong obviously had strong troops and strong horses, but at this moment he deliberately showed the enemy weakness, so he must have ambushed the enemy.
?"When I can't control myself and rush forward, I will fight out and teach myself a lesson."
Therefore, Xia Houyuan suppressed his inner impulse and stayed put for the time being to see what the other party's plan was.
Before knowing the specific situation of the other party, Xia Houyuan was still prepared to be cautious to avoid falling into passivity.
" Anyway, he took advantage of the danger, and the food and grass sent from various states and counties can ensure that he has nothing to fear, and there is no need to fear a stalemate.
On the contrary, Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses came all the way. It was time-consuming and laborious to transport food and grass, and they could never delay their own.
In this way, the soldiers and horses of Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong faced off at the foot of Shanggui City.
Huang Zhong trained his troops every day, but he never came within three miles of Shanggui.
In other words, Huang Zhong showed no intention of attacking the city at all.
Every day we just pull the soldiers out, practice them and then go back to the camp again.
As a result, the defenders on the city did not dare to sit back and watch, and had to prepare nervously every time.
However, if things continue like this, the defenders' nerves may be broken.
Therefore, when Xiahou Ba saw something unusual, he immediately went to report to Xiahou Yuan.
However, when Xia Houyuan heard this, he just smiled softly and was not as anxious as the other party showed.
Seeing Xiahou Ba¡¯s puzzled look, Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to explain: ¡°Ba¡¯er, Huang Zhong¡¯s plan is to tire out the enemy.
"We just want to use this to fatigue our spirit and paralyze our army's will."
"However, if our army is affected, the other party will also be affected.
" Moreover, our army was originally a temporary team from various states and counties. After this, we gradually became familiar with each other.
Treating it like an act, it allowed these soldiers to experience the cruelty of war. "
"But father, if this continues, the child is worried that it will damage military morale.
The child asked to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and rush forward to kill the opponent first before catching him off guard.
When the time comes, let¡¯s see if they dare to despise me so much! "
Xiahou Ba wanted to rush in and kill him, but he was unexpectedly rejected by Xiahou Yuan.
Because Xia Houyuan analyzed that since the other party was like this, after all, he was confident and had been prepared for it.
If you fight out now, you will fall into Huang Zhong's trap.
Therefore, Xia Houyuan thought that there was no need to pay attention to the other party and let them practice by themselves.
As time went by, Huang Zhong would naturally stop when he saw that he was not making any movement.
His analysis was reasonable, but this time he was completely wrong.
Because what Xia Houyuan didn't know was that Huang Zhong was not the main force this time, but just a feint.
All their actions were to attract Xia Houyuan's attention. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
