Chapter 143: Jingzhou Strategy (5)
Nanyang Huang Hansheng's strength is extremely strong, and his force is also first-class in the world, but Guan Yu is obviously superior, in the previous battles, each time it was because Huang Chengyan arranged the battlefield, so that Guan Yu had no way to fight with Huang Zhong without distraction, and this time, the initiative on the battlefield has changed, and it is currently Guo Jia who arranges the battlefield!
got Guo Jia's order, and Yan Liang and others also obeyed the order.
"Strategist, I'll wait for this!"
The generals led their men and horses to kill them from the pontoon bridge, while Chun Yuqiong quickly retreated and gathered the remaining soldiers to guard.
"What's the matter!" Guo Jia gave an order to the remaining soldiers.
"So-and-so is here!" Guan Hai stepped forward and said with a fist salute.
"Lead your troops across the river and stop the enemy soldiers attacking the pontoon bridge from the upper and lower reaches of the land route!" Guo Jia said to Guan Hai.
Guan Hai naturally will not be afraid to fight, this is a rare opportunity for their yellow turban system.
"If the river is on fire, don't worry, you just need to take down the surrounding soldiers." Guo Jia continued to advise Guan Hai that he was not an orthodox general, so he had to advise more.
"Whoa!" Guan Hai hurriedly stopped and replied to Guo Jia, but Guo Jia didn't say much, just signaled that he could lead his troops across the river.
"Deal with the boats in the upper reaches of the Han River, you can cross the river to participate in the next battle, as for what to do, it's up to you to judge!" Guo Jia explained again.
"Where is Cheng Peng!" Guo Jia continued to give orders.
"So-and-so!" Cheng Peng stepped forward and replied, his heart was full of excitement, it was really the first time for him to participate in such a battle, and the people on the other side were all celebrities.
"You will lead two troops and horses, and other sailors will take a boat to the downstream, and storm the enemy's water village after the enemy's naval army lands. Guo Jia ordered at Cheng Peng.
"Liu De, after you led the army to cross the river, you went straight to the lower reaches of the Han River, and took advantage of the chaos to ambush Huang Zhong's army to rescue the soldiers of the main village!" Guo Jia ordered to Liu De, this is a member of the Han family, and he has a bit of courage.
"Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, you take a detour to the enemy's rear village, and after the chaos in the front village, you will lead the army to kill!" Guo Jia said to the remaining people, these people are all former Yellow Turban Qu Marshals, and leading thousands of people to fight and fight is almost what they are best at.
"Whoa!" Both yelled and then led their troops across the river.
"Zhang Yan led 3,000 people by you, led the army downstream, and appeared as reinforcements after Cheng Peng took over!" Guo Jia turned his head to Zhang Yan and explained.
"Whoa!" Zhang Yan clasped his fists at this time, counted his subordinates, and prepared to cross the river.
"The rest of the people stay, led by Sima of each department, after the general successfully enters the enemy's camp, and then attack with all his strength, if the three departments fail, it is also very important to wait!" Guo Jia gave one last order to everyone.
All the soldiers agreed, and then they prepared to lead their troops to rush quickly from the pontoon bridge.
On the other side, as Guo Jia estimated, it didn't take long for Huang Zu's boat, which was used to monitor Guan Yu's movements in the upper reaches of the Han River, suddenly discovered the pontoon bridge that appeared above the narrow mouth of the Han River, and was immediately surprised.
"Not good!" Huang Zu immediately shouted after seeing this situation from a distance, and the Guan Yu army that crossed the river densely above made Huang Zu feel bad.
"Accelerate with all your might, and at the expense of the warship, I will speed up and break the pontoon!" Huang Zu roared angrily.
Huang Zu roared like this, and he did this, but unfortunately he had already ignored a lot of things in a panic, the place of Guo Jiadu Bridge was a narrow mouth, and for many days there had been endless arrangements for trebuchets, when Huang Zu's battleship rushed into the firing range first, Chun Yuqiong gave an order, and nearly 100 stones were smashed over.
Although Huang Zu's flagship only suffered five or six shots because of the ethereal hit rate of the trebuchet hitting moving objects, the bed crossbow loaded with spears also nailed towards the ship at the next moment, unlike the trebuchet's pure quantity, the bed crossbow still had some accuracy.
Dozens of large arrows directly pierced the cabin of Huang Zu's big ship, and even a bed crossbow bolt flew over Huang Zu's head, and the cold sweat instantly made Huang Zu wake up.
Struggled to retreat, but unfortunately it was only a short cup of tea to stop the inertia, and two of the five warships that were set on fire by a large number of fires were also directly sunk, although the other three were covered, but the projectile trebuchet relied on the face, and more than a hundred stones were smashed at a time, and there was always a hit.
"It's a pity." Chun Yuqiong looked at the enemy navy who only sank two ships and ran out of the attack range, and sighed helplessly, if he solved it, he didn't have to stay here now, and he could also go into battle and fight.
After withdrawing from the range of the trebuchet, Huang Zu had the mind to think wildly, for example, during this time, Guan Yujun was not idle in shipbuilding, on the contrary, they added a lot of arrangements and did a lot of things, but none of them were visible to him.
"When you go ashore, you must pass this news to the military advisor!" Huang Zu made a decision in an instant after withdrawing from the stone-throwing range arranged by Chun Yuqiong.
It was at this time that Huang Zu suddenly thought of a point, since he couldn't break through to the downstream by boat, and now he was going to abandon the ship and go ashore, why didn't he burn the boat on fire, and once he burned the boat, under the dazzling fire at this time, with Huang Chengyan's intelligence, he would definitely understand.
Then Huang Zu remembered one thing, whether he burned one ship or burned all the ships, fortunately, Huang Zu was also witty, thinking that if Guan Yu came prepared this time, if Huang Chengyan was forced to retreat with the army, then he who did not land on the shore was not blocked in the Han River, then wouldn't it be a dead end?
After having this thought, Huang Zu immediately no longer hesitated, "Everyone spill the reserved oil on the ship, ready to set fire to the ship!" ”
Huang Zu's ship was sprinkled with oil, and after all the soldiers landed, he set fire to his warship, and then ran into the distance without looking back, preparing to make a detour to inform him.
But he didn't want to run a few steps before he found a group of sergeants with big shields rushing towards them in the distance, Huang Zu's heart sank, but he didn't have much fear.
As a result, without waiting for Huang Zu to inquire, a knife light came towards him, Huang Zu held the knife light with his gun, but suddenly felt a strong attack, and unconsciously took a few steps back.
Guan Hai on the opposite side was unforgiving, brandishing a big knife and slashing towards Huang Zu, who had an unstable center of gravity, and Huang Zu had also been through the battlefield after all, and immediately held a gun to stand up against Guan Hai, but he didn't want Guan Hai to force him back a few steps again, and his body was even more unstable.
Then Guan Hai pounced again, although compared to the strength, there is basically no gap between him and Huang Zu, but he has a kind of ruthlessness, and he struggles to burst out his strength, as a rare battle of the Yellow Turban General, it must not be underestimated!
Another knife forced Huang Zu back, this time Huang Zu was already a little unstable between retreating, knowing that it might be dangerous to take another beating, he immediately stabbed Guan Hai between his abdomen and chest with a gun without dodging or dodging, but he didn't want Guan Hai to sneer and slash Huang Zu without dodging or dodging.
Huang Zu originally just wanted to force Guan Hai to come back with a lose-lose move, but he didn't want Guan Hai to be so calm, there was no wavering in his eyes at all, and he couldn't help but be frightened by the posture of one life for one life.
However, Huang Zu is also a very talented military general after all, and after realizing that Guan Hai is risking his life and he has no choice, he immediately roared and burst out with all his strength to stab towards Guan Hai.
"Poof!" Guan Hai sneered and pulled out the broken snatch on his chest, and strode towards Huang Zu, as if he was not hurt at all, while Huang Zu was holding half of the gun in one hand, and covering the scar on his chest with the other hand, looking at Guan Hai with fear on his face.
"Everyone will give me up, and those who don't descend will be slaughtered by me!" Guan Hai was actually more seriously injured than Huang Zu, but Huang Zu's momentum was taken away by Guan Hai, looking at Guan Hai who was striding towards him, he retreated unnaturally, staring at Guan Hai.
The main general was hit hard in a moment, and the soldiers under Huang Zu couldn't help but be a little at a loss, and were surrounded by the soldiers under Guan Hai, looking left and right, many soldiers directly chose to surrender.
"Take Huang Zu down for me!" Guan Hai shouted, but at this time, Huang Zu had already understood the situation, but the general trend had gone, and it was impossible to rush out, so he no longer hesitated to gather towards his own guards and retreated, while Guan Hai led his subordinates to rush forward regardless of their injuries.
Huang Zu fought and retreated, but unfortunately both the momentum and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers were suppressed by Guan Hai, and in desperation, he retreated all the way to the shore, seeing that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, Huang Zu immediately jumped into the Han River.
Seeing this scene, Guan Hai couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately ordered someone to release arrows, but unfortunately most of his soldiers were northerners, and most of them were sword and shield soldiers, and there were few people with bows and arrows, and as for swimming, few people were good at it.
"Damn it!" Guan Hai covered the injury on his chest and reprimanded angrily, isn't it just to take down Huang Zu and show his value in front of a group of soldiers? As a result, the other party actually dived.
I'll learn to swim when I go back! Guan Hai scolded wildly in his heart, but looking at the surging water of the Han River, he finally gave up and threw it down by himself, so the possibility of being drowned is very high, that is, a military general of his level, if he can't water, he will dive for an hour.
Guo Jia, who had already crossed the river, looked at the firelight on the Han River, nodded slightly, thinking about seeing this firelight, Huang Chengyan already had a guess, but he didn't know if Huang Chengyan's judgment was the same as his estimate.
However, there is nothing different, Guo Jia has prepared a lot of compensatory measures in advance.
As Huang Zu guessed, the huge fire on the Han River at night could be seen for dozens of miles, and the patrol camp of the military camp reported to the military Sima of the headquarters as soon as they discovered the fire, and soon the news spread to Huang Chengyan.
"A fire on the Han water?" Huang Chengyan was slightly stunned, then suddenly stood up and stepped out of the tent door, looking at the firelight from a distance, and instantly had a guess in his heart, "Go quickly and notify all the departments of the front battalion to defend against the night attack!" ”
Huang Chengyan's current camp, because he has not been attacked by the enemy for several days, has won several battles in a row, and the defense at this time has been much thinner, and Guo Jia will find that Huang Chengyan's village is not far from the woods, which is very different from the soldiers in the forest as described in the art of war, of course, the rain the day before yesterday was also for this response.
Huang Chengyan informed the guards to go to the front camp to defend against the night attack, and at the same time went to Huang Zhong's main tent with a calm expression, if he guessed correctly, the battle was about to begin, and Guan Yu was about to come.
"Huang Gong, what's going on?" Huang Zhong, who had already rested, had already gotten up and changed his armor before Huang Chengyan entered the account, and asked immediately after Huang Chengyan came in.
"Guan Yu will be here soon, Hansheng, remember to save yourself, whether you win or lose this battle, we will retreat to Jiangling." Huang Chengyan said to Huang Zhong a little tiredly.
"What?" Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Huang Gong, leave it to me, this time I will definitely not be forced to retreat by Guan Yunchang like before!" ”
Picking up his own fight, Huang Zhong put on a suit of armor and hung up his cloak and rushed out, as a general, even in the face of a powerful enemy, he has the heart to fight, if he avoids the battle, how can he progress?
Although he didn't know how Guan Yunchang successfully crossed the river, as early as a few days ago, he knew that Guan Yu would cross the river sooner or later, and he was definitely Guan Yu's first target!
This is also the reason why Huang Chengyan has been pressuring Huang Zhong and not letting Huang Zhong continue to provoke Guan Yu, if he can cross the river, then the enemy will inevitably choose the most fruitful way to fight, that is, to kill Huang Zhong.
The two armies are facing each other, whether it is for their own martial arts or their future, then killing the opponent's general is the most effective way.
What's more, for Guan Yu, he lost several battles, although the reason was not on himself, but because he fell into the calculation every time, but it was also a shame, how could Guan Yunchang be willing to let go of the opportunity to wash away the shame?
Since this is the case, then there is no need to say more, hold down Huang Zhong, let Huang Zhong accumulate his desire to fight, and wait until Guan Yunchang crosses the river, judging from his previous performance, then he will inevitably go to the front line, and this is the best opportunity to temper Huang Zhong in Huang Chengyan's opinion.
Huang Zhong's strength, Huang Chengyan can be regarded as having a deep understanding and is very strong, but there is still a gap with Guan Yu, even if he has his own arrangement, Huang Zhong still can't beat Guan Yu, this is still on the battlefield that Huang Chengyan personally arranged for Huang Zhong.
Han Sheng, I have chosen the best battlefield for you this time, you and Guan Yu are also military generals who have reached the extreme, and you are also born with divine power, but you have never been able to deal with Guan Yu, sometimes the difference is not only strength!
Huang Chengyan couldn't help but think of Huang Zhong, who was leaving in a hurry.
On the other side, Guan Yu had already smashed into the enemy's front village like the wind, Qinghui covered every knight under his command, and it was the first time Guan Yu had done such a luxurious thing as using the talent of the legion, and there was no way that Guan Yu couldn't hold it back at all the moment the Hanshui fire lit up.
How could he give up at such a good time, Guan Yu immediately opened the talent of the legion, and under the stimulation of absolute confidence, all aspects suddenly improved significantly, and the speed also soared.
A moon wheel smashed the enemy's rejection horse, and the BMW under Guan Yu's crotch did not stagnate in the slightest, and another crescent moon flashed, and those enemy soldiers under the gate lost their lives before they even had time to warn.
