Chapter 951: The combat power of the state army
Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei didn't have much respect for Zhuge Liang at all, and he also understood the reason, no matter how talented Zhuge Liang was, he didn't show it in the army, and the most effective way to impress the generals in the army was to show enough means.
Compared with Zhang Fei's mania, Guan Yu looked at Qingfeng Ridge not far away and thought more, after many years of fighting, Guan Yu's battlefield experience is also extremely rich, and Guan Yu is also convinced of the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army, and it is not easy to let the Bingzhou Army withdraw from Hanoi so easily.
"Be on your guard, scouts are on the lookout for news ahead." Guan Yu admonished.
On both sides of Qingfeng Ridge, the ambush of the Bingzhou army is enough for a thousand people, Xu Huang is to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to wait for the Jingzhou army to enter the ambush, immediately assault, originally with the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army, even if it is a frontal battle with Liu Bei and others, it is also a steady upper hand, but as a general, more often think about how to give the enemy a fatal blow under the condition of their own protection.
Zhang Fei led five hundred soldiers and headed towards the left side of Qingfeng Ridge, at the beginning, Zhang Fei led his soldiers to advance very quickly, but Zhang Fei suddenly realized that something was wrong, if Zhuge Liang deliberately embarrassed him, he would not let Guan Yu also lead his soldiers and horses to the right side of Qingfeng Ridge, thinking of Zhuge Liang's mention of being careful of fierce beasts.
At this moment, a general stepped forward and whispered: "General, the military advisor once said that there will be an ambush by the Bingzhou army on Qingfeng Ridge, so let the general be careful." ”
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I didn't expect the military advisor to speak so unpleasantly, but as long as you can defeat the state army, I will obey you." ”
"The herald scouts began to retreat, and General Ben personally led people to act as scouts." Zhang Fei ordered.
Zhang Fei is a general under Liu Bei, although he is short-tempered, his skills are admired by the soldiers in the army.
Although the scouts of the Bingzhou army were well hidden, they were still discovered by Zhang Fei, and after clearing the secret post, Zhang Fei led five hundred soldiers to kill on Qingfeng Ridge.
The Bingzhou army, which was originally hidden on both sides of Qingfeng Ridge, was preparing to wait for work and ambush the Jingzhou army on Qingfeng Ridge, but they did not expect Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to lead people to kill them quietly.
In particular, the five hundred swordsmen led by Guan Yu are carefully trained by Guan Yu, and they are all composed of elite soldiers selected from the army, and they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers in terms of equipment.
The two fierce generals led the soldiers and began to charge and kill the unprepared Bingzhou army.
Although the two captains of the Bingzhou Army tried their best to resist, and they had the advantage on Qingfeng Ridge, it was still difficult to stop, but after the initial panic, the Bingzhou Army did not flinch when fighting against the Jingzhou Army, and as long as they did not get the order of the main general in the Bingzhou Army, the soldiers would not retreat desperately.
Unlike the army of the princes, there is a salary in the army of the state, and the soldiers do not have to worry about the things behind them, joining the army is completely voluntary, and they have to go through step by step screening.
Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew that the elite of the Bingzhou Army were still shocked after really fighting with the Bingzhou Army, if the positions of the two sides were reversed, would the soldiers under their command still fight like this at this time.
After Xu Huang got the news from Qingfeng Ridge, he hurriedly ordered the two to lead the soldiers to retreat, he didn't expect that this ambush was discovered by the Jingzhou army in advance, so that the effect of the surprise attack would be lost.
On the elite of the soldiers, although the Bingzhou army was not afraid of Liu Bei, but the situation at this time was not very good for the annexation, once the princes' coalition army entered Hanoi, the princes who had an absolute advantage in the military force were a great threat to the annexation.
In Hanoi, Xu Huang put in a lot of effort, and these armies were also formed by him, and he has a deep affection for Hanoi.
After getting Xu Huang's order, the two lieutenants organized the soldiers to resist the attack of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while retreating, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the soldiers to chase and kill for a while, and then led the troops back to the army.
When he saw Zhuge Liang again, Zhang Fei's expression was a lot more respectful, if Zhuge Liang hadn't asked him and Guan Yu to go to both sides of Qingfeng Ridge, once the army passed through the road in the middle of Qingfeng Ridge, it would be a disaster for the army.
Jingzhou is Liu Biao's territory after all, although Liu Biao let Liu Bei be stationed in Xinye, but whether it is in grain and grass or blades, Jingzhou's control is extremely strict, and Liu Bei's strength that he has finally accumulated, if it is lost in Hanoi, it will be extremely unfavorable to Zhuge Liang's future plans.
After Zhuge Liang listened to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's narration, his brows furrowed slightly, according to his assumption, with the courage of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it would be easy to defeat the ambushes on both sides by surprise, and then Liu Bei could lead the army to cover up and give the greatest damage to the Bingzhou army.
"Kong Ming, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang's expression was wrong, Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang said: "Without him, he is just frightened and the combat strength of the state army." ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also nodded lightly when they heard this, and fought with the Bingzhou army, they could experience the momentum of the Bingzhou army, which could not be formed overnight, and there was absolutely no general in the Bingzhou army at that time, and it was in this situation that the Bingzhou army retreated unhurriedly.
"The Marquis of Jin is a very human being, how powerful Xianbei is, he was beaten by it, and the Jizhou army was also defeated at the hands of the Bingzhou army." Liu Bei said.
Although Liu Bei didn't say the rest of the words, Zhuge Liang also understood that it was precisely because of the strength of the annexation that the princes felt feared, and this was the matter of the princes jointly attacking the annexation.
"Don't worry, the lord is the elite of the state army, and our army is not weak, just a little planning, you can capture Huaixian." Zhuge Liang once again regained his light and breezy look.
"What does the military advisor need to do with my old Zhang, although he said it clearly." Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, he is a straightforward person, since he has accepted Zhuge Liang in his heart, he will support him in action.
Liu Bei had a smile on his face, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could get along with Zhuge Liang, it would be the real blessing of the army, and internal instability was often the cause of failure.
After Xu Huang gathered his soldiers and horses and listened to the narration of the two captains, doubts flashed in his heart, why did the Jingzhou army enter Hanoi without any obstruction, why could they be so cautious after arriving at Qingfeng Ridge.
"General, the Jingzhou army is so arrogant, why don't you take someone to kill it directly and defeat it." A general said.
Xu Huang shook his head and said: "The current situation in the state, the generals and soldiers in the army know everything, and the lord has issued an order to let the army withdraw into Huguan. ”
