Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1706 Battle Guan Yu II

"An urgent report from Shangdang?" Guan Yu sat up, his long and narrow Danfeng eyes showing a hint of coldness.

Recently, he has felt that something is wrong with the Shangdang. He heard that the Ming army is attacking the Shangdang, but he is not very clear about the specific situation of the Shangdang.

This is the grain road, and there has been a problem.

Their food is basically transported from Shangdang, but there has been no food in the past half a month, and he has been sending people to contact Shangdang.

But there was no response, and I was a little anxious.

He brought this memorandum over, and after spreading it out, he looked at it carefully, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "How is it possible?"

He still knows that Ju Yi is not inferior to him in terms of martial arts, and his ability to lead troops is also very strong. After all, the name of the number one general in Hebei is not empty.

How could you lose so quickly.

Even the eldest son city is lost.

In this way, he was in a hurry. If the main force of the Ming army came from Shangdang, then he had to take care of the position of the rear wing.

It seems that they are about to eat up the soldiers and horses of the Ming army in front of them.

Didn't expect it to come out like this.

"waste!"

Guan Yu yelled angrily, and threw away the report in his hand.

He stood up and paced back and forth with a gloomy and indifferent expression. At this moment, the sudden change caught him by surprise.

Whether to continue fighting, or retreat immediately.

Currently, these two choices are lingering in his mind.

If he continued to fight, let alone whether he could eat up this part of the Ming army in front of him, even if he did, he would have to pay a lot of price.

In addition, there is Dangyin City in front of him. Although he is chasing so closely, he is also worried that there are ambushes in Dangyin City. Even if the city gate is opened, he may not dare to enter.

Normally, he wouldn't care much if there were ambushes.

The big deal is to continue fighting. As long as the main force of the Ming army has not gone north, he will have no scruples. If he can't win, he still has a chance to withdraw.

But now, without Shangdang's cover for him, his position is already very dangerous. Once the flank is breached and he is surrounded and killed by Ming troops from the rear, he will inevitably fall into a tight siege.

This is not what he wants to see.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Let the captains and Sima of each battalion come to see this general immediately!"

"promise!"

As soon as the military order was issued, in less than half an hour, the captains of the battalions quickly crowded around Guan Yu. There were more than ten people, either captains or Sima, all of whom were battalion commanders and deputy generals.

"Second general, summon us, do you want to attack the Ming army at night?" A general was about to move.

Fu Zheng can also be regarded as one of Guan Yu's fierce generals. Although Guan Yu has not returned to Yan Kingdom for a long time, he was Liu Bei's biggest helper in defeating Youyan back then, and he has already gathered a large group of generals under his command.

Even if he fell into the Wei camp and was held hostage by Cao Cao because of the Battle of Guanzhong, all the generals under his command have been expecting him to return quickly over the years.

This is also why he was able to lead a single army immediately after returning to the Yan Army from Weiying. It was because he had a much deeper foundation in the Yan Army than anyone else.

"That's not the case!"

Guan Yu shook his head, Danfeng's eyes were a little sharp, he glanced over, looked at each face, and said with a gloomy voice: "Shangdang sent news that the Ming army broke through the eldest son city, Ju Yi's army was defeated, and his whereabouts are unknown, but Shangdang has disappeared." We were captured by the Ming army, our food road was cut off, and our flanks were in great danger, so we called together the generals to discuss how to deal with it!"

The distance between Shangdang and Hanoi is not far, but there is no safe channel for exchange of information between Guan Yu and Ju Yi. After Ju Yi destroyed the eldest son city, he has basically cut off the news.

At this time, the news Guan Yu received was only that the eldest son city was captured by the Ming army.

The news of Zhang Fei's death has not yet reached here. Even if Guan Yu sent someone to inquire, it is impossible for the specific news to come back so soon.

Relatively speaking, the Ming army has Jingwu Division, and the news can be conveyed quickly. Even Liu Bei has Li Ru by his side, and he has established a news channel, so he can get the news as soon as possible.

As for Guan Yu, unless someone deliberately told him, it would take at least a few days before his scouts could get the news back.

Now all he got was news that Shangdang couldn't keep.

Otherwise, at this time, he would not be able to discuss the military situation in such a peaceful manner, he would have already been furious and sent troops to the party.

"Eldest Son City was breached?"

"Ju Yi, a great general from Hebei, is so useless?"

"I just said, the surrendered general will definitely have no intention of fighting hard!"

"Once Shangdang loses its protection, we will be in danger!"

"We can't continue fighting at this time!"

"We must withdraw from the encirclement of the Ming army as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise we'll be in trouble!"

All the generals spoke one after another.

With Shangdang lost, their flanks were not only unprotected, but they were also killed by the Ming army from this direction. In this way, they were trapped in the encirclement of the Ming army.

This is very dangerous.

Once caught in the encirclement, even if the Ming army surrounds us without fighting, they can surround us alive.

Guan Yu looked at the faces filled with righteous indignation, and smiled wryly in his heart. The current situation is very obvious, and it is indeed inappropriate to continue to fight hard.

Even if he is willing, his generals may not be willing.

Although he is arrogant, he is not a fool, nor is he a general like Zhang Fei who frequently beats and scolds his subordinates and disrespects them. He has been in Weiying for many years, but he can still make his subordinates die. He not only relies on his martial arts personality charm , what's more, the relationship between him and the general has always been very good.

This saved his hesitation. He took a deep breath and said, "Although it is somewhat regrettable to withdraw our troops now, it is undeniable that since Shangdang has been lost, it is meaningless to continue fighting in Hanoi. At this time, we must We must withdraw our troops and gather the main force!"

"General, if we retreat now, once the Ming army has already dispatched troops from Shangdang, we are in the middle of our hands. Let alone retreating, if we encounter the enemy, whether we can escape is a problem!"

The young general is Guan Ping.

Guan Xing is the second son, while Guan Ping is the eldest son. Guan Xing is the Marquis of the Scout Army, and Guan Ping has already commanded the first battalion. Among the Yan Army, he can be regarded as a young and rising general.

He was able to command the first battalion, although he was promoted because Liu Bei was quite guilty of Guan Yu at the beginning, but he himself has enough ability, otherwise he would not be able to restrain the generals in the army.

He is young, but his martial arts are already comparable to the second-rate generals in the world.

Relatively speaking, he is both civil and military, good at commanding troops, and also good at martial arts. He cupped his hands and said to Guan Yu: "General, I propose to fight from the northwest!"

"northwest?"

The eyes of the generals fell on the map of the march. The northwest direction was the direction of Hebei. There were many mountains and rugged roads.

It's just that Wei Jun is not in their hands now, Hebei is divided into two, and Wei Wang, the Central Plains court controlled by Wei Jun, is in the hands of King Wei.

"Breakthrough from the northwest, we can't get around Dangyin City, attacking Dangyin at this time may not be a good thing!"

A school lieutenant said in a low voice.

"Even if we can cross Dangyin City and we successfully withdraw from the northwest direction, then we will enter Wei County and be stabbed by Wei Jun at that time, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out!"

"Isn't it? Now that the king has reached an alliance with the king of Wei, and everyone is the army of the Han family, they may not dare to tear themselves apart with us at this time!"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. They are so ruthless. How can we put our wealth and life above the kindness of others!"

Some agree, some disagree.

Guan Yu was also a little silent.

In the whole of northern Hanoi, there are too few official roads, so the routes that can supply them are too small. Breaking through from the north is tantamount to confronting the Shangdang head-on.

If Shangdang's Ming army was in the front line at this time, they would be sending sheep to the tiger's mouth. This would be a huge disadvantage, so Guan Ping's proposal was not unreasonable.

It's just the northwest direction, because of the road. If you want to march on the official road in the northwest direction, you must break through Dangyin. Only the northwest direction of Dangyin City can connect to the official road.

The other reason is that the people in charge of Wei Jun are Wei Jun's people. If they rashly enter Wei Jun, they may attract Wei Jun's attack.

This made Guan Yu hesitate a bit.

He pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision. Facing the noisy generals, he patted directly and shouted: "Quiet!"

The scene calmed down solemnly.

All the generals looked at Guan Yu, Guan Yu had a high status in the Yan army, not to mention the generals of the direct line, even the other generals respected him quite a lot.

"I have decided that I can't go back the same way, I must break out from the northwest!"

Guan Yu said: "Now we still have a choice, that is, we think that the Ming army will not send troops from Shangdang so soon, but once they have already sent troops, then we will send our main force directly in front of them, so we can't take such a risk. As for the Wei army in Wei County, I believe that since the king dares to negotiate with the king of Wei, at this time, we are still allies!"

He knew more, that is, Yan Jun could pass through Yanzhou, and there was no big gap between him and Wei Jun at this time.

"We respect the command of the general!"

The generals looked at each other, and they didn't have much opinion on Guan Yu's decision.

"As for the road!"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, looked ahead, and made a decision, saying: "Our troops will divide into two groups, take the small road all the way, attack Dangyin head-on on the other side, form horns with each other, and respond to each other. Crossing from the northern suburbs of Dangyin, there is no way to go on the path, so we will attack Dangyin to the death, no matter the cost!"

"Second General, when shall we attack?"

"Before Dawn!"

Guan Yu said: "There are still about two hours before dawn. After one hour, we will attack. It is best to kill them. If we can't kill them, even if we fight to the death, we must cut them down!"

"promise!"

They are fighting a winning battle today, so at this time, their fighting spirit is still relatively strong.

....................................

At this time, the Ming army did not know that the goal of the Yan army had changed.

In the city of Dangyin.

A group of soldiers and horses are being quietly integrated.

"General Pan Feng!"

On the city wall, General Deng Xian bowed his hands to the strong man in front of him.

"General Deng is polite, I am not a general now!"

Pan Feng was wearing battle armor and holding a long axe.

Since he joined the Ming army, he could only fight for the Ming army with all his heart. As for retaking Hebei for Han Tao, he never thought about it.

First, even if Han Tao has such ability, he has no such opportunity.

Second, this can only bring death to Han Tao.

Now what he hopes even more is that Han Tao can make contributions here in the Ming court, so that he can be regarded as worthy of Han Fu's kindness in the past.

"Your Majesty has ordered General Pan to be General Zhonglang!" Deng Xian said softly: "The general is in our army and has a military position!"

"I'm just a man. General Deng ordered that I will go anywhere!"

Pan Feng also knew Deng Xian's worry, so she said softly.

Only then did Deng Xian heave a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of Pan Feng seizing power. Pan Feng could not seize power in his Third Army, but there could be no two voices in the army.

He is General Zhonglang, and Pan Feng is also the position of General Zhonglang now. In comparison, Pan Feng also has the power to lead the army, and the second order in the army will be the most troublesome.

He was rather fortunate that Pan Feng knew how to advance and retreat.

In addition, Pan Feng's martial arts is the best in the whole army. With such a strong general, Deng Xian can feel much more at ease, and will not be defeated by Guan Yu.

"When will we attack?"

Pan Feng asked.

"Now!"

Deng Xian said in a low voice: "It will be effective to attack those who are not prepared by surprise, and wait until dawn, but there will not be much effect of a surprise attack!"

He had already got in touch with Huang Shao. Huang Shao's Zhaoming First Army had lost too much combat power. If there was a head-on battle, he and Huang Shao's troops would only be on par with Guan Yu.

However, the fighting power of the Ming army is more than double that of the Yan army. Even if the Yan army can be defeated, it may not be able to keep Guan Yu's main force, so there is only a surprise attack.

....................................

The night was dark.

Huang Shao also put on his armor in the camp, waiting for the response from the city, and cooperated with the city to fight.

However, at this time, the scouts suddenly came to report.

"General!"

The scout was very anxious, walked up to Huang Shao, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "The Yan army has moved, and they are coming towards us!"

"So fast?"

Huang Shao's pupils widened.

"kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing sounded like a stormy sea.

"kill!"

However, the city gate opened at this time, and another burst of shouts came from the city gate.

The raids of the two sides seemed to collide.

"Ming reinforcements?"

"Dare the Yan army to attack the city?"

The encounter battle is the most irregular war on the battlefield. The sudden encounter battle at this time made the Yan army and the Ming army have no reaction at all, and they fought directly.

"Where is Guan Yunchang, how dare you fight to the death with a certain family!"

Pan Feng wants to make meritorious service.

Before he entered the Ming Dynasty, he was interviewed by Mujing, and after meeting with Mujing, Mujing told him very clearly that if he can make meritorious service, he can increase his value.

At this time, nothing is more valuable than merit.

"That guy, report your name!"

Guan Yu was actually the kind of person who would not fight back when provoked, so he swung his knife to kill him.

"A certain Pan Feng, die!"

Pan Feng rushed up alone.
