Chapter 65: Crossing the River and Fighting at Night
In despair, most people will choose to resign themselves to death with their necks strained, but if they suddenly see a way out of life in the process, most people will choose to waver. Especially when the meaning of this life has not yet ended.
When Lu Yi heard that Yang Biao had gone to Leling, he hummed a Liangzhou song in his tent for the first time, and finally smashed his fist on the low table one night in late July. For the past half a month, he has been thinking about whether to send troops south to cross the Yellow River. Although he repeatedly reminded himself that this was not the best time to send troops, in terms of solar terms, the best time to send troops was the autumn equinox, the cold weather in the north swept the Central Plains, the air was frosty, and the combat power of the southern soldiers with only single clothes would be reduced again, but the northerners under his command had enough ability to endure the cold.
He only needs to cross the river to fight for two months, relying on the advantage of the Hun cavalry to sweep away all the enemy troops in the suburbs of the three counties, and the army will enter the country of Le'an to defeat the main force of Yuan Shao's army once or twice, and then he can wait until the heavy snow falls, and the war will be forced to stop, and the Yan clan will be able to get at least the four counties of Qingzhou!
By next year, the rest of the winter's troops will be able to hold off the invading enemy with a more competitive garrison, and the fruits of this great victory will be laid. And the most advantageous point of this is that the soldiers are fast, even if the Cao Cao army in Yanzhou wants to aid the Yuan clan, there is not enough time to send soldiers and horses to join the war, when Yanzhou reacts, the four counties in the north of Qingzhou have changed the Yan banner.
But the other side of the shore was like an endless sea, and he was attracted by the mermaid singing to the moon, and the five camps with big banners in the middle of the camp were poorly guarded, and the stupid patrol always made him itch. It's like, as if they are five large battalions with thousands of people, but they are all about to be listed in the merit book, and they are the stepping stones for him to be promoted to the general of the Quartet!
"A certain family thought that this might be the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy, but even if it is to lure the enemy, Koji admitted it!" In the middle of the military tent at night, Lu Yi sent the remaining Taoxian wine to the soldiers to be magnificent, and said to Koji Yan in a deep voice in the tent: "If they put these five parts on the two wings, Koji may not dare to cross the river, but in the Chinese army...... It's like a joke for us to break through them, as long as there are 2,000 people in Koji, we can sweep through Wuzhai! San Lang, after crossing the river, you led the army to flank the left flank, cut a way for the Huns, and broke through the three camps on the enemy's right flank, can you dare to respond? ”
Hearing this, Koji Yan suddenly clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates take orders!" ”
At this moment, the soldier trotted into the light and shadow of the bonfire outside the tent of the Chinese army, and said in a deep voice to the tent: "General, the soldiers on the river bank have reported that the boat is ready, and there is no alarm for the negligent enemy army. ”
"The order went down, the soldiers of each team followed closely behind, led by the general Tun to take the Kedu to the other side, the village was silenced in front of a hundred steps, the strong bow and crossbow grabbed the gate of the village, and rushed to capture the military village! Send someone to tell the Hun soldiers that they are ready to board the ship and set off! ”
From now on, a thousand years!
People will remember that the Yan general Lu Yi defeated Yuan Shao here and changed the situation in the world!
The sound of the river waves in the middle of the night, from time to time the water droplets splashed on the surface to reveal a slight coolness, stepping on the bow of the boat Lu Yi squinted his eyes to the west, as if he could see from the boundless darkness in his eyes that he had left Liangzhou many years ago.
"General, it's landed."
The cautious subordinate beside him softly pulled Koji back from his distant memories, and felt the loose and dense river beach under the bow foot of the ship again, and a group of soldiers beside Koji loomed from the night fog and slowly pressed away in the direction of the camp. The trenches and wooden fences laid by the enemy on the river beach have been memorized by the various tun generals in the observation of these days, avoiding the last line of defense outside the Yuan army camp, and the thousand-man camp with the banner hanging at the gate of the village at night is close at hand.
The five hundred-man team formed a second formation with the nightfall, and slowly advanced to the camp for a hundred steps. ”
"Wind!"
If you can't stop the enemy on the bank, the bank of the Yellow River at night is indeed not the best choice for camping. July is the time when the water level of the Yellow River is the highest, and in previous years, when there was a lot of rain, it would easily cause floods, but now there is a drought year after year, and there is no precipitation except for the heavy snow of last year, although it will not cause much trouble to the army crossing the river, and the turbulent water can still hide all the sounds that come from the darkness, and even Lu Yi himself did not expect it to be so smooth.
Just when the crossbow had been raised slightly, and wanted to shoot at the guards on night duty on the bonfire outside the gate of the village to keep warm and watchtower, suddenly there was a faint shout of killing in the west, which made everyone's cold hair explode suddenly...... That was the direction in which the Koji Performing Forces and the Huns were expected to attack. Koji knew that his brother would never disobey his orders and attack the enemy first, so there was only one possibility, the western camp was heavily defended, and Koji Yan was discovered.
"Silence, fifty steps back!"
The soldiers whispered the orders of the generals, and the sudden and unexpected tension made the soldiers try their best to restrain the imminent offensive and slowly retreat. Just when the two army formations had just withdrawn more than ten steps, the camp in front of them also shouted, first the soldiers outside the camp shouted loudly and rushed into the village, and then there was chaos.
"It depends on whether this surnamed Zhang is a real idiot or a fake fool!" Lu Yi said secretly in his heart, twisted his eyebrows and looked at the gate of the village and said to his subordinates: "Lead the two teams of light pawns to disperse the two wings, if the enemy leaves the village, he will impact the flanks after the salvo, and if he closes the gate of the village, he must rush to open it!" ”
The military tent in the camp.
"What's the noise outside the camp!"
Zhang Kai opened the curtain of the tent and looked pale, rubbing his eyes while wearing the big armor and asking his own soldiers, "What's going on in the west?" ”
Although he is a general who has killed all the way from recklessness to his current status, he will not undress and sleep at the time of the war, but he is already wearing a layer of armor inside, and now he is the main general in the war, and he is wearing an extra layer of armor.
"Back to the general, there is a shout of killing from the camp of Captain Ma in the west, it should be attacked." The pro-soldier looked embarrassed, "The general is going to the rescue?" ”
"Help, how can you not save the robe if you are in trouble?" Zhang Kaicai has only been promoted from captain to general for more than a month, and sometimes he himself can't figure out how to get the blue eyes of the third prince and let him be promoted to captain, but now it is obviously not the time to think about this, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Not only do we want to save it, but send someone to the east to inform those camps that the enemy army attacked my west camp, and quickly sent soldiers and horses to come." Come on, lead the horse! ”
In fact, there is no need for him to say, there are already soldiers to lead the horse for him, this side has just prepared the armor, the soldiers will be in the camp in a mess, the blue-maned horse was also led over, Zhang Kai turned over the horse and carried a long knife, his own soldiers in front of the fire to lead the way, along the north gate of the camp out of the fish.
"What a big horse!"
There was a soft shout in the night, as if he had just heard the sound of the broken strings, and the arrows of the crossbow had been shot to the chest, and the last thing he saw under the fallen horse was a splinter of arrows under the faint light of the torches, and hundreds of light soldiers rushed out on both sides shouting and galloping.
"Kill!"
