Chapter 146: Jingzhou Strategy (7)
Huang Chengyan strategized in a vain attempt to change the situation, and at the same time began to hook up with the spiritual beliefs of his soldiers, so as to extend his talent to the past, morale is used a lot, in this chaotic situation, morale is the most important attribute, morale does not collapse, then you can ensure that your soldiers can continue to fight.
Courage or wisdom, at this time, is an insignificant attribute, unless you can have outstanding wisdom and bravery, and with this transcendent sanctification, it is possible to affect the outcome of a battle.
It's not that Yan Liang and the others don't have talent, it's just that their talent is suitable for personal skills, such as innate divine power, which is a very useful talent, and this kind of chaotic battle at this time is actually more about competing for the quality of soldiers and the limit of endurance.
Soon Huang Chengyan once again commanded all the soldiers under his command were included in the scope of his talent, and his own army, which was originally slightly declining, began to fight steadily again, gradually stabilizing the defense line with offense and defense, and Huang Chengyan, who was maintained in the center, felt the pressure light at this time.
Strange, what does Guan Yunchang want to do?
Huang Chengyan stabilized the situation, but at this time he was full of doubts, although he was in the center of the chaotic war, he did not have the feeling of being in danger at all, but the situation seemed to be still under his control.
At this time, Guo Jia accepted the information from all sides, found that he had completely controlled the enemy army, and immediately marched with the whole army, after successfully crossing the river, he was rushing over in a hurry, Guo Jia at this time had a relaxed smile, with the successful arrival of the generals everywhere after arriving on the battlefield, accepting the results of the battle everywhere, Guo Jia knew that the plan had been completed, sometimes even if he calmly dealt with the things in front of him, but if he couldn't look at the overall situation, it would be useless.
I'm afraid that Huang Chengyan hasn't figured out who his opponent is at this time!
Guo Jia chuckled and thought, now according to the plan, Huang Zhong has been driven away by Guan Yu, and he has to catch up with the enemy, as long as one of the generals, then the rest of the people will be easy to deal with too much, Huang Chengyan has won consecutive battles, I am afraid that he has absolute confidence in his intelligence, but this confidence sometimes leads to problems in his response.
Although the success of being in the center of the formation will stabilize the situation and seem to be very safe, this is in the center of the formation, even if there are a large number of soldiers and horses around, but this also means that it is surrounded.
If he didn't have the ability to look at the overall situation, Huang Chengyan, who was now in his own phalanx, couldn't imagine that his situation was already very dangerous, after all, any normal general would not think that he was still in danger after his soldiers had steadily stabilized their position.
This is Guo Jia's judgment on the concept of security of the wise, for a wise man to rely on his own ability to create a stable situation, he will naturally have his own control, and under this control, any wise man will believe in his own judgment.
But if you can look at the overall situation at this moment, Huang Chengyan will find that he and his soldiers have been swept in the middle by the enemy layer by layer, and he, Huang Chengyan and the group of soldiers under his command, are in the center of the enemy's encirclement.
That is to say, although Huang Chengyan successfully stabilized the situation, he was unknowingly besieged, which also caused Huang Chengyan to seem safe, in fact, as long as he was in chaos at this time, then it was very likely that he would hate here.
And this kind of situation, that is, the ambush plan from all sides, this is also Guo Jia's big move, in the face of this plan, Huang Chengyan is still in the middle of the formation indifferently stable situation, there is no consciousness of being surrounded at all, and a cadre of soldiers under Huang Chengyan's mobilization is still fighting soundly, this is probably the happiness of ignorance.
However, it seems to stabilize the situation, and as time goes by, the outer enemies will become more and more tightly surrounded, and eventually it will be embattled.
This kind of layer-by-layer encirclement structure, coupled with the fact that the enemy he faces is scattered every time, gives Huang Chengyan the feeling that the enemy seems to be using refueling tactics, and he never thought that the enemy who changed direction and attacked every time he attacked had surrounded him.
The water village in the lower reaches of the Han River, Kuai Yue vaguely saw the fire in the upper reaches, and was shocked, and then the sound of fighting in the distance made Kuai Yue even more uncomfortable, and when the fire appeared in the direction of the main village, Kuai Yue finally determined that something was wrong.
"General Pang, you lead a part of the soldiers and horses by land, and I lead a part of the soldiers and horses by water, and we will advance by land and water, and turn into the rescue main village to avoid problems." At this time, Kuai Yue hurriedly called his friend and deputy general Kuai Yue, and hurriedly ordered, it is really this situation is already very bad, saying that it is a rescue, but in fact it is a retreat.
Of course, Kuai Yue will not have a disturbed conscience, he is not the same as the rest of the Jingzhou department, he belongs to Liu Biao, but now Liu Biao is on fire, so he has to die for it.
It is also under the alliance of the Jingyang clan, the power is huge, and he has no choice but to obey the order, after all, it is not only the Jingyang clan, but also the Shi clan in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and even Jiaozhou, Yizhou and other places, secretly exerting their own strength.
There is the possibility of "setting things right", of course, no one has ever played the banner of splitting the empire on the surface, just a competition, war, is also a continuation of the struggle for power, now the Jingyang clan is the leader, this battle, if even the partial division sent by His Royal Highness can not win, then wait for the pacification of Liangzhou, the rest of the scholars will naturally obediently accept their fate.
Some time ago, Guan Yun's growth was like a bamboo, from north to south, and he captured several cities in Nanyang County one after another, and the soldiers pointed directly at the hinterland of Jingzhou, that is, the Shi Alliance used great strength, and under the joint efforts of several parties, finally stopped Guan Yunchang in Xiangyang, and then fought several battles and defeated one after another, so that the Shi Alliance saw the dawn of the final victory.
But Kuai Yue and the others have never made any effort, they are not optimistic, and now this accident is really not what they expected.
Pang Ji didn't say anything when he heard Kuai Yue's arrangement, and immediately ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush towards the main camp from Shuizhai, and Kuai Yue immediately dismantled Shuizhai and led all the ships to move upstream after Pang Ji left.
At this time, Guo Jia also ordered a partial general to lead a group of soldiers and horses down the river, and the two met unexpectedly not long after, which is also a rare person in the Northern Army who understands water warfare, but unfortunately it is still a little far worse than Kuaiyue.
Coupled with the fact that its own strength, troops, and the number of ships were inferior to Kuaiyue, it didn't take long for them to be forced to disperse and retreat, and the water war was always an inescapable knot for the northerners.
Kuai Yue's expression was obviously a little gloomy after easily repelling the incoming enemy, although this was won, but this performance was obviously dragging time, that is to say, the original situation of advancing by land and water had been completely blocked, and thinking about it deeply, that is, Pang Ji may have encountered an ambush.
Unlike land battles, if you want to run in a water battle, the boat and boat can run fast, and there is no danger in Kuaiyue, but if Pang Ji on land is really ambushed, I am afraid it will be very difficult to get out.
"Keep going!" Kuai Yue quickly made a decision, Pang Ji's matter can be put aside for now, and it is the most important thing to see the current situation clearly, the northern army can do this kind of behavior, which means that there will definitely be a result tonight, which makes it impossible for Kuai Yue to think more.
As Kuai Yue expected, Pang Ji encountered an ambush not long after Kuai Yue was blocked by Guan Cheng, and after a good kill on both sides, the reinforcements of the Northern Army suddenly appeared, and the quality of the soldiers on the northern side overwhelmed Pang Ji at the same time, the number also overwhelmed one, and soon Pang Ji's troops and horses showed an obvious decline.
"Military division, our army rushed to the downstream water village and was blocked, and Kuaiyue has already gone up along the Han River." At this time, the general who was forced to retreat by Kuai Yue quickly docked in a small boat and reported to Guo Jia, who had been waiting.
"There's no way around it." Guo Jia didn't care at all, there was nothing wrong with it, he had already crossed the river, it was already a ruin, a little unsatisfactory was nothing; And the rest of his soldiers and horses are here, and they will fight it out tonight, "Take your men and move with the army." ”
When Kuai Yue came up along the Han River, his expression was obviously a lot more solemn, he had already seen the northern army lined up on the edge of the Han River, the bow and crossbow Qianzhang were waiting for him to dock, and there were sharp weapons such as big yellow crossbows, which made it clear that the Northern Army had been preparing for a long time today.
"Hey!" Kuai Yue looked at this scene, and already had a guess in his heart, knowing that the main camp side, even if there was no problem now, but looking at the posture and continuing, he would kneel today.
"Lean in on me!" Kuai Yue thought for a while, and suddenly said, the sailor heard this, and slowly began to row towards the south bank of the Han River, but at a distance of one hundred and ten steps close to the river bank, the rain of arrows on the side of the northern army was frantically covered, so that Kuai Yue had no way to stop at all.
Guo Jia also noticed the movement here at this time, just glanced at it, didn't care, it's nothing, the Jingzhou Army's sailors are under his defense, don't think about landing, wait until he destroys the main camp of the Jingzhou Army, and the rest is no longer a problem.
Knowing that Kuai Yue couldn't struggle with other tricks, Guo Jia no longer paid too much attention and was ready to carry out the next step of the war, and the army pressed to determine the victory and defeat in one fell swoop.
Huang Chengyan in the formation had completely stabilized the situation at this time, and relying on precise mobilization, he could only barely support the experienced Northern Army, but now Huang Chengyan not only did not feel at ease, but he didn't know why he became more and more irritable.
What did I miss, even if Guan Yunchang's goal is not my main camp, but my navy, then with Kuai Yue, Pang Ji, Huang Zu and others, and I have already explained, it will definitely be impossible to take it, and the main camp does not have any problems looking at this situation now, and it is even estimated that it will not be long before they can start fighting back, but now they still feel that something is wrong, Huang Chengyan thought irritably.
At this time, Huang Chengyan inadvertently covered the moonlight with a basket-shaped thing in the moonlit night, and then many small ball-like things rolled out of it.
"What is this?" Huang Chengyan looked at the things that rolled out of the round basket, and said to himself puzzled, "It seems to be a peach, a basket of peaches that have been thrown by stones?" ”
Huang Chengyan was slightly stunned, looking at the chill of Guan Yujun, who was suddenly a little chaotic around him, and immediately shouted, "Everyone stabilize the formation, don't scatter the pursuit, and attack from the front!" ”
"Now it's up to Huang Gong to understand what I mean, it's enough for me to do this." Kuai Yue wiped the peaches on his hands, and then took a bite, before a basket of peaches was thrown out by him with a ship-borne trebuchet, and it was also a loss that it was now May and June, otherwise there would really be no such obvious warning.
Huang Chengyan and Guo Jia's biggest advantage compared with them is not strategy, but military strategy, Huang Chengyan is through the military formation, knows the military strategy, and even only compares the ability of the military formation, and there are only a few people in the world who can surpass Huang Chengyan, but it is better than the dictionary, but it also represents the shortcomings of other aspects.
After getting this reminder of the peach and basket, Huang Chengyan instantly understood the current situation, he was already under siege, and once the troops were dispersed, they would definitely be directly dispersed by the army prepared by the enemy, and then his main army would be taken down, which also represented a change in the situation in Jingzhou.
His one is the only remaining army in Jingzhou, and there is too much time, and it is definitely impossible to raise another army.
After Huang Chengyan was on guard, he immediately began to adjust the formation, and the circle formation that was about to spread out turned into a long shuttle shape under Huang Chengyan's rapid adjustment, and Huang Chengyan immediately forcibly rushed out from the front.
At this moment, Huang Chengyan's brain was extremely calm, he knew that there must be an enemy ambush outside, but fortunately, he had doubts before and did not dare to take advantage of the enemy's suspected self-disordered position, otherwise if the troops were scattered now, he would definitely be planted here today.
Huang Chengyan is still wise after all, and after understanding the situation, he suddenly exerted his strength, and soon tore a hole in the formation.
This made Guo Jia directly stunned, according to his speculation, Huang Chengyan's performance these days, he felt that it was impossible to guess the situation with Huang Chengyan's kind of mentality, but now Huang Chengyan actually started to break through when he was about to start.
"All of them attack, take down the thief's head, the reward for killing the thief's head is thousands, and the reward for capturing the thief's head alive is ten thousand!" Guo Jia immediately threw a bounty, although Guo Jia had never thought of killing Huang Chengyan before, but after coming all the way to this point, he already had the hope of killing, how could Guo Jia not have other ideas.
In the chaotic battlefield, Huang Chengyan's dispatch was not in the slightest disorder, not to mention Huang Chengyan's ability to deploy the formation, which was the best in the world.
This also gave Huang Chengyan a chance to rush out, after Huang Chengyan abandoned the army and rushed out with the remnants, he watched the Northern Army that was biting him rush directly towards the Han River in front, he knew very well that there were at most two ambushes at this distance, but this direction was also the only way to survive.
Under the desperate struggle of Wen Ping and other generals, Huang Chengyan was spared, and this battle, with Kuai Yue rescuing him, and going down the river represents that the situation in Jingzhou has undergone new changes.
