On the Yingchuan battlefield, General Guan Yu led an army of 38,000 to engage the enemy's main force in the Rushui River, Father City, and Luyang area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The two generals, Zhang Fei and Yu Ban, led an army of 16,000 to attack Dagu Pass. Li Zhong led an army of 5,000 to block the enemy army in Yuzhou on the front line of Xuchang and Yingyang. General Sun Guan led an army of 5,000 troops to garrison Yangcheng and Yangzhai on the front line.

After the rebels lost Guangcheng Pass, they attacked very fiercely, breaking through Niulan Leiting several times and rushing to Huoyang Mountain.

After entering April, Kuai Yue changed his attack strategy, and instead concentrated his main force to attack on the front line of the Rushui River, intending to break through the resistance of our army and threaten Yang Zhai, so as to force Zhang Fei and Yu Ban, two generals on the front line of Guangcheng Pass and Dagu Pass, to return to Yingchuan.

General Guan Yu was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and at the same time, he had to take into account the southern and northern lines of Yingchuan, so he could only retreat to the Rushui River and Yingshui River to block the enemy. He is now very worried that Yuan Tan of Runan will counterattack the front line of Xuchang and Yingyang after receiving reinforcements, and he is even more worried that Liu Biao of Jingzhou will increase his troops in Yingchuan again.

"Increase troops in Suiyang." Li Yi interrupted Xu Shu with a wave of his hand and said, "The flying pigeon passed the book to Tian Yu of Changyi, and asked Xue Li to lead 10,000 horses to Suiyang. Let Zhang Dingbian of Rencheng lead 10,000 horses to Changyi to garrison. ”

"Then fly the pigeon to pass the book Zilong and Fengxian, and ask them to lead their cavalry to the Yingchuan battlefield."

"The flying pigeon passed the book to Mu Shun on the front line of Suiyang, the attack momentum should be a little bigger, the attack rhythm should be mastered, and Yuan Tan's main force must be dragged in the east of Yuzhou."

Xu Shu nodded again and again, signaling Lord Bo Jiang Ji to immediately draft the order.

"In addition, no matter how much the pigeon flies to pass the book Yun Chang and Yide, we can't let the rebels cross the Rushui River." Li Yi said very seriously, "Yingchuan's grain is extremely important to whether the army can hold the Yingchuan battlefield, and there must not be the slightest mistake." ”

"Lord, there is something on the battlefield in Yingchuan that has always made people very confused." Zhuge Liang waited for Li Yi to finish the order, and immediately continued, "General Yun Chang reported that so far, Liu Bei's army has not been found on the battlefield. The Yingchuan battlefield has also been fought for a lot of time, and Liu Biao has also increased his troops twice, if Liu Bei is in Jing and Henan, it is impossible for him not to show up. ”

Li Yi groaned a little and asked, "Did he lead the army to the direction of Wuguan?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "We have already passed on the pigeon to pass the book to General Xie Xuan and General Li Guangbi. In their reply, they said that according to the reports of the soldiers stationed at Wuguan, the rebels stationed on the front line of Danshui had always been Xu Xuan's army, and Liu Bei's battle flag had not been found. They suspected that Liu Bei was either in Luoyang or went to Yizhou. ”

"Luoyang?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "Luoyang is a dead land, Liu Bei won't go." Yizhou? ”

He thought of the memories of his previous life, in another time and space, didn't Liu Bei's kid become the emperor by virtue of Yizhou? But that was more than ten years later, and at this time, he shouldn't go there, right? However, thinking that this time and space has caused many things to change dramatically because of his appearance, it is not excluded that Liu Bei will enter Shu in advance.

Looking at the map, Li Yi said softly: "Go to Yizhou, go to Hanzhong, and then attack Guanzhong from Hanzhong?" Could this be big? ”

"Probably too small. There are only four plank roads connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and as long as we hold the four exits in the direction of Guanzhong, the enemy will not be able to enter Guanzhong at all. Zhuge Liang smiled, "Even if they get to Guanzhong, they won't be able to fight for a long time." Because the plank road is difficult and dangerous, it is extremely difficult to transport grain and grass, unless they capture Chang'an in a very short time and control the entire territory of Sanfu, otherwise they will soon retreat in a hurry because the grain and grass are unsustainable. ”

"There is a three-way melee between Liu Zhang, Zhao Wei, and Zhang Lu in Yizhou, if Liu Bei arrives in Yizhou, it will take time to quell the rebellion, it will take time to stabilize, and it will take time to raise grain and grass, and it will be impossible for him to threaten Guanzhong before we capture Luoyang." Xu Shu also shook his hand and said, "Liu Bei is not from Yizhou, and his subordinates are not from Yizhou, he led the army into Yizhou, and it is very likely that he will be attacked by the Yizhou people, and it is very difficult to survive, so I think Liu Bei will not kill himself, and it is unlikely that he will enter Yizhou." ”

"Let the battlefields pay attention, and report it immediately if you find Liu Bei's traces." Li Yi didn't want to continue the discussion on this issue, he waved his hand and said indifferently, "No matter where he goes, he won't pose too much of a threat to us." ”

Xu Shu continued to report on the battlefield.

On the battlefield of Hanoi, the armies of Sima Yi and Tai Shi Ci were still attacking Meng Jin, but because the battle had not been for a short time, the soldiers on both sides were very tired, the battle was not fierce, and there was much more time to rest than to fight.

Since the beginning of spring, the people of Jizhou and the grain and grass baggage began to assemble in Hanoi. The banks of the Yellow River in Heyang and Wenxian are lined with tents, and grain and grass are piled up like mountains. The people cut down trees and dug up stones. Craftsmen rushed day and night to make siege equipment.

Sima Yi now focused his energy on hoarding supplies, waiting wholeheartedly for the main army to break through the periphery of Luoyang, and then besiege Luoyang City with a large army, people's husbands, and grain and grass.

"Didn't that kid swear that he would take Mengjin and Xiaopingjin and take the lead in breaking through the periphery of Luoyang?" Li Yi smiled, "What? He gave up? ”

"Zhong Da and Ziyi can only draw out more than 30,000 people, even if you add Zhang Shijie's sailors, there are less than 40,000 people. With such a small number of men, it is too difficult to break through the pass of heavy defense at the minimum cost. Xu Shu said, "He needs timing, and he needs luck." ”

Then he looked at Li Yi and asked, "How much hope does the lord think he has to break through the barrier?" ”

Li Yi smiled and said nothing, obviously not having much confidence in Sima Yi.

On the Kansai battlefield, tens of thousands of troops attacked continuously, but Hangu Pass was solid and did not move. Yue Fei, Xu Da and others were so anxious that they exhausted all the siege equipment and tried all the siege methods, and even collapsed the two-story wooden pavilion on the "Chicken Singing Platform", but they still failed to make a breakthrough.

However, because of the day and night onslaught of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Hangu Pass was still greatly damaged, and the two "Chicken Song" and "Wangqi" had partially collapsed, and the rebels had lost their commanding heights, and it became more and more difficult to defend.

In mid-April, Zhang Ji, the commander of Hangu Pass, was seriously wounded and killed. Chun Yuqiong urgently told Yuan Shao and asked for support.

Yuan Shao categorically ordered all the houses outside Luoyang City and within a radius of nearly 100 miles within the Eight Passes to be burned down. Except for the bridges and roads that ensure that the defenders of Baguan can safely withdraw into the city, everything else will be demolished. All wells were poisoned. Suddenly, the fire outside Luoyang City was soaring, thick smoke was billowing out, and the area of nearly 100 miles turned into a scorched earth in a few days.

Yuan Shao used this fire to show his determination to Hebei and fight to the death, even at the expense of burning the jade in Luoyang City.

In addition to being shocked, the Northern Xinjiang Army was also furious, and the attack was even more fierce.

………………

In mid-April, Han Qiong, the chief general of Mengjin Pass, received an urgent report from Zhao Rui that he was ready to attack the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army at night.

As early as the beginning of the month, Han Qiong sent someone to find out the reason why Sima Yi demolished the bridge during the day and restored it at night. In order to facilitate the attack, Sima Yi set up camp in Yebanjin, but the opposite of Yebanjin is a mountain peak, and the terrain is very narrow, and the large camp is difficult to accommodate the army, people and materials needed for the attack, so Sima Yi let part of the army and people withdraw to the opposite bank to rest at night.

As for the reason why Sima Yi demolished the bridge during the day, it is estimated that he was worried about being attacked, so he let the rebels occupy the bridge and kill on the other side. The other side was full of grain and grass, and it was over with a fire.

The Yellow River has two flood seasons a year. The flood season is mainly from the upper reaches of the summer, and the flood season may last for 3-4 months from June. The flood season is from March to April in spring, and the water is mainly from the upper reaches of the ice and snow melting, and the duration is short. Because every year is when the peach blossoms bloom, it is also called the peach blossom flood.

From mid-March, the peach blossom flood of the Yellow River came, and Sima Yi's attacks were intermittent. If the flood peak comes, it will be difficult to restore the bridge of the boat, and the troops and people on the other side will not be able to rush to the battlefield, and the number of troops remaining in the large camp at this time is not large, and the grain and grass and siege equipment in the large camp are piled up, which is a good opportunity to attack.

Han Qiong has been patiently waiting for the opportunity. If the raid was successful, the threat to the north of Luoyang would be greatly reduced, and the defenders of Mengjin and Xiaopingjin would immediately be able to send a part of it to support Hangu Pass.

Recently, because the weather has warmed, a large amount of ice and snow in the upper reaches of the Yellow River have melted, the flood peaks of the Yellow River have been one after another, and the bridge has not been restored, and Sima Yi has given up the attack. The weather happened to be good in the past two days, and the sun was shining, which was suitable for night attacks.

Han Qiong urgently reported to Yuan Shao and asked for instructions on whether to launch an attack.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shao replied to the book and attacked the camp tonight.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Zhao Rui commanded three thousand elite Yuan troops to quietly approach Yebanjin, and they hid in the dark, staring at the dark mountains in the distance, anxiously waiting for the moment of attack.

Suddenly, a little fire lit up in the night sky, and it was dazzling.

Zhao Rui gasped violently a few times, waved his hand forward vigorously, and shouted: "Go, kill ......"

The three thousand elites were like ghosts, rushing along the embankment of the Yellow River.

The light of the fire was fleeting, like a meteor flying through the sky, leaving no trace, and the darkness was still deep and boundless. Then, dozens of fires suddenly rose into the sky, drawing dozens of beautiful arcs in the night sky.

......The rapid and frightened sound of the war drums shattered the silence of the night in an instant, and the Yebanzu camp exploded violently, and the terrible shouts were earth-shattering.

There are more and more fiery red stars in the sky, like a huge meteor shower, falling into the night sky overwhelmingly. The earth was set ablaze, and the raging flames let out a thrilling roar, and with the help of the bitter winds of the Yellow River, they rose into the air.

The camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army was on fire, and the soldiers and wolves of the Northern Xinjiang were rushing and chaotic.

Zhao Rui commanded the army to rush through the entrenchment, crossed the horse rejection array, smashed through the strong fence, and killed the panicked enemy, shouting excitedly: "Kill, kill...... Burn, burn me ......"

"Knock...... Knock ......" The drums of the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly calmed down, again and again.

Under the command of the drums, the soldiers of northern Xinjiang rushed towards the embankment of the Yellow River.

"Chasing ...... Catch up, drive the enemy into the Yellow River, drive into the Yellow River......" Zhao Rui was extremely excited, raised his knife and roared, "Brothers, kill ......"
