Chapter 272: Crossing the River

Cheng Yuanzhi, who has been moving slowly, is not afraid of Liu Lan, but has got the latest news, so he slowed down, Lao Gu was in full swing there and gathered 50,000 horses in less than a month, this is not counting the party members of Changping, Jundu, and Anci counties, if you add up these three places, there are at least more than 100,000 horses, and in addition to Dai County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County, he has at least 200,000 horses there, do you say that such news is good or not?

It sounds very good, because the Heavenly Master's Youzhou strategy is a great success, but it is not good, for Cheng Yuanzhi, who is determined to become the commander of the Youzhou side, he doesn't want to make a wedding dress for others, because when he was ordered to come, he wanted to gain a foothold in Youzhou, but obviously his 20,000 horses were a fart in the eyes of Gu Xionghu at this time, and they were not even as good as a fart. It's angry when you think about it.,Not long ago, I groveled to myself, how long did it take to start seeing no one.,It was a mouthful of please.,Now? directly changed the tone of the order, do you think Cheng Yuanzhi can not be popular?

"What else did the man he sent say?"

"There's nothing else to do but urge us to hurry." Bai Xiaozi said cautiously.

"Hurry, hurry up and make a ball, let Lao Tzu hurry up and see his ancient bear and tiger villain's face?" Cheng Zhiyuan scolded, and the liver fire continued to burn,

"Then slow down, when they suffer a few losses in Youzhou, Gu Xionghu should come to ask Qu Shuai for you."

Cheng Yuanzhi snorted coldly: "It's not that simple, if even the current Gu Xionghu has to suffer, why should we go over and look for death?" The team that finally pulled up made the damn Deng Mao lose nearly 10,000 people, I don't want to watch these brothers all buried in Youzhou. ”

"What then? Withdraw to Jizhou, but this is even worse, the Heavenly Master will be angry. ”

"Then drag it out, wait and see, as for Gu Xionghu, deal with it first, just say that the Han army will not be able to pass over for a while and a half, and see what the situation is there, whether it is a victory or a loss is in the final decision, of course, if we can wait for the news that he and the Han army are fighting for both sides, then our opportunity will come."

Bai Xiaozi admired Qu Shuai's strategy of delaying the army very much, and agreed: "Qu Shuai is right, it is obvious that Liu Lan of the Han army on the bank of Yishui did not want to take the initiative to attack, but was just defending against us, since they didn't dare to come, we didn't want to fight, so drag it like this, drag it to Gu Xionghu's side There is news, let's have another pot, and then the entire Youzhou will not be your Qu Shuai?" ”

Cheng Yuanzhi said hatefully: "Damn, I ran hundreds of miles from Jizhou to Youzhou and lost 10,000 people, no matter who became the handsome man of Youzhou in the end, Lao Tzu recognized it, but he just couldn't be cheaper." ”

Three days later, the Yellow Turban Camp, which had been dragging on the south bank of Yishui, ushered in a messenger from Guangyang, the messenger was very humble, but when it came to what happened, he hoped that Cheng Yuanzhi could retreat from everyone, Cheng Yuanzhi followed, and Cheng Yuanzhi, who had a happy face in less than a quarter of an hour, strode out of the camp gate and ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on the north bank of Yishui.

Deputy Marshal Bai Xiaozi didn't know why Qu Shuai would compromise and give up delay and choose to attack, Cheng Yuanzhi laughed and said that Gu Xionghu died, this messenger was sent by the trusted Qu Shuai, although he had no friendship with the new handsome, and he had never even heard of this person, but from the messenger's tone and when mentioning the new handsome's respect for himself, Cheng Yuanzhi was very useful, and the most important point was that the new handsome who could be a man let out a word to take Youzhou in the future, and the Qu Shuai of Zhuo County was his Cheng Yuanzhi, And in order to show his sincerity, he sent three waves of Yellow Turban Army to help him attack Zhuojun, which made Cheng Yuanzhi overjoyed, could he not choose to attack at the first time.

~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan received the news that the Yellow Turban Army crossed the river and attacked the first time to arrange defense, Xu Atai and Guan Yu came to his side, hoping to beat the Yellow Turban Moth Thief from the upstream river bypass behind the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's buttocks This is very good, but Liu Lan smiled bitterly and said that the way is a good way, but unfortunately there are no more troops to outflank, so they have no choice but to give up, Xu Atai and Guan Yu sighed, they can't be stopped, otherwise they will definitely let the Yellow Turban Moth Thief be defeated.

It's just that when the two were about to leave, Liu Lan suddenly stopped the two, and said with some worry that we can think of Raohe to outflank the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves behind them, and they may not be unexpected, so they sent a probe horse to stare at me in the upstream and downstream to prevent the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves from dividing their troops.

The two retreated as promised, organized scouts to listen to the news, and at this moment, the low horn sound on the other side of Yishui suddenly sounded in the sky, the horn sound was long and excited, and all the Han troops who had been lined up at this moment took a deep breath.

The Han army built a fence on the bank of the Yishui River, Sima stood in front of their queue, the pony of the divine horse seemed to know that a life-and-death battle was about to begin, and kept vibrating and neighing, as if he couldn't wait, Liu Lan stroked its horsehair a few times to quiet it, and then looked at the riverbed on the south bank of Yishui, at this moment there were more and more figures wrapped in yellow cloth on the black plain, not slow, from a distance it looked like the * turbulent vastness of Yishui, between the ups and downs, there was a deafening roar of monstrous sounds, One after another, the momentum is magnificent, as if it can destroy all things in heaven and earth.

Liu Lan was expressionless, looking at the huge wave that began to cross the riverbed, and faintly seemed to be able to vaguely hear:

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. ”

The Yellow Turban Army not only set up a simple pontoon bridge, the bridge pillars are resisted by people, but more people are wading through, you must know that the rainy season in the north is in July and August in the summer, if it is then the moth thieves do not want to wade through the water, but now the Yishui ferry can not stop their pace, but the weather factor is still zĂ i, you must know that the weather in April is still a little chilly in the north, plus their clothes are thin, and the wind blows even more chilly, but such a cold can not stop the fire that is burning in their hearts, One by one, their eyes were red and they were killing towards the other side.

Liu Lan led the headquarters to guard the forefront of the riverbed, although the east-west direction of Yishui could not be prevented, but the Yellow Turban Moth thieves lacked the necessities to cross the river, and without the boat that had been collected by Liu Lan earlier, it was difficult for them to cross the turbulent river from the upstream and downstream, so they could only kill the north bank from the ferry in front of them with a line or a big point, but in this way, the dense river-crossing formation naturally made Liu Lan's defensive pressure a lot easier, not to mention that they were 20,000 people or 200,000 people on the other side of the river, such a river crossing method Liu Lan could also block them on the other side of Yishui.

But how can it be that there are 20,000 yellow turban moth thieves with all kinds of weapons, even if it is a lamb, it is enough to drink a pot, and that momentum and scale can not make people's hearts beat and their faces chill? Fortunately, these Han troops here have become familiar with the cruel battlefield after the previous battle, and they are not afraid, there is no fear, otherwise, even if they don't flee now, there will be people who retreat and fear the enemy, how can they show a cold light on their faces one by one like now, and they are indignantly holding the heart of death and preparing to fight with the enemy on the other side.
