Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1710 Battle with Guan Yu VI

Sancha River Mouth, North Bank.

Yan army barracks.

This is a simple camp. Although the Yan army had built some fortifications before, they were almost destroyed during the battle.

Now that I was driven back from Dangyin in a hurry, I didn't have time to build this fortification at all, but the location is not bad, surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The remnants of the Yan army stationed here are barely safe, but this is not a long-term place to stay, and it is imperative to break through.

But Guan Yu is still deliberating.

It is not advisable to fight to the death with the Ming army, but you must also pay attention to strategy to break through. Leaving a part of the army behind seems to be the most reasonable tactical deployment, but in fact it has a great impact on the morale of the army.

The soldiers in the army, after so many wars, have already taken a lot of light on life and death. What they fear most is never defeat, but inequality. Some people will die and some people will live. For many people, it is unfair.

But if he wanted to be fair, he would have to pay a higher price. If he didn't have a soldier left behind, he would be entangled if his main force didn't run far, and the price he would pay would be much heavier.

The night gradually fell.

Guan Yu knew that he had to make a decision, whether to break through the encirclement as a whole, or to break through the encirclement by divisions. After leaving the main force of the battalion, he could not continue to procrastinate.

However, when Guan Yu was about to make a decision, a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, someone has sent a coffin outside the Xiying camp!"

"Coffin?"

When Guan Yu heard the words, he immediately complained: "It's so big, how dare the Ming army insult a certain family like this!"

Send coffins on the battlefield.

It is a kind of provocative method.

He won't be affected by this provocative method, but there will still be a wave of anger in his heart. The more proud a person is, the more unable to control his emotions.

But even so, he was still very calm, and he said gloomyly: "Since it has been delivered, then smash it and tell the Ming army, our Yan Jun Erlang, why do you need to return the horse leather wrapped in corpses? We are buried here!"

"General, there seems to be a corpse lying in the coffin!"

The guard thought for a while and said again.

"Corpse?"

Guan Yu was confused, he stood up and said: "Go and see, see what the Ming army is doing!"

When they walked to Xiying, the coffin had already been carried in, and many generals surrounded the coffin, and a sense of sadness was spreading.

When Guan Yu appeared, all the generals knelt down one after another.

Guan Yu frowned. He walked in and saw clearly the person lying in the coffin. Suddenly, like a thunderbolt, traces of blood crawled up from the depths of his pupils.

"Third brother!"

Guan Yu raised his head to the sky and screamed, his grief and indignation were unbearable.

It was Zhang Fei who was lying there.

His sworn brother.

At the beginning, Taoyuan was married three times, Liu Bei was down and out, and Guan Yu fled. Only Zhang Fei took them in. Liu Bei formed a rebel army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Zhang Fei has a bad temper, but he is timid and cautious. Compared with Liu Bei's gloomyness and Guan Yu's pride, he is the most straightforward and calmest among the three brothers.

In my mind, I can't help but think about the details of their brothers being together in these years...

"General, there seems to be a piece of paper in here, and there are some words on it?" A personal guard came up cautiously and reminded in a low voice.

Guan Yu walked into the coffin step by step, looking at the head and corpse preserved by the lime, he still had a feeling of sadness that he couldn't cry.

He picked up a piece of paper on Zhang Fei's chest.

It is not so much a piece of paper as it is a letter of war.

On the paper, there are only a few words - a certain behead Zhang Yide first, and then take your head, if you have the courage, stay and fight, and I will come in three days.

Signed, Zhang Wenyuan.

Seeing this word, Guan Yu's pupils suddenly turned blood red, and the breath all over his body burst out suddenly, as if the air pressure around him had become suffocating.

"Zhang Wenyuan, you are courting death!"

Guan Yu's desperate voice shocked the top of the nine heavens, and his peak power exploded. With the power of one person, it was difficult for a person with a radius of [-] meters to breathe.

At this moment Guan Yu, the killing intent in his heart is terrifying that cannot be vented.

across the river.

Ming army barracks.

At this moment, the Ming army was discussing overnight how to attack the Yan army camp on the opposite side.

"Pan Feng has led the elite vanguard, crossed the river upstream, and intercepted it eastward, but I don't think there is a chance to stop Guan Yu!"

It's not that Huang Shao doesn't trust Pan Feng. Pan Feng is not only determined by martial arts, but also has a good ability to lead troops. The cooperation in a battle is enough to show Pan Feng's ability. This hero, he Now, it is not a stranger.

But predicting the enemy first is easier said than done, and every single factor will affect the decision of the enemy general. The road they want to intercept may not be the road that the enemy will definitely walk.

It is possible that they will waste the main force in vain.

"Try everything!"

Deng Xian smiled: "We can't completely count on General Pan's ambush, the main thing is our surprise attack, I want to cross the river tonight!"

"The night is a good cover, but the Yan army may not take advantage of the night to fight back against us?"

Huang Shao said worriedly.

"There is such a possibility, but at this time, I think Guan Yu should be more focused on running instead of counterattacking us. Even if they succeed in counterattacking, unless he can defeat our main force, otherwise he will only be left One way is to be entangled with us!"

Deng Xian stared at the map of the march. He still believed that now that they were gaining momentum, they had to use their fighting power to the extreme. Even if they couldn't keep Guan Yu, at least they could cut off his main force.

This is also a credit.

"Well!"

Huang Shao agreed: "Cross the river to attack the camp tonight, but the night battle requires the cooperation of you and me. I will personally lead the army and slow down the pace. Even if it is unsuccessful, our army's losses will not increase due to the night battle!"

Huang Shao's innocence is meritorious. His Zhaoming First Army suffered heavy losses. If the casualties continue, they will be seriously injured.

So at this time, it is the best policy for him to keep the main force of Zhaoming's first army, otherwise everything else is nonsense
"Row!"

Deng Xian nodded.

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

The night is getting darker and darker, Zishi.

Just when the Ming army was about to cross the river to attack the Yan army's camp, a scholar appeared outside the camp and asked to see the Ming army's general.

"Who are you?"

Huang Shao and Deng Xian personally received this person.

"So-and-so, trial match, meet General Huang and General Deng!"

The trial and assignment was non-stop along the way, even with the escort of personal guards, but a scholar can endure it, he is already exhausted, and his mental state at this moment is very bad.

But at last they arrived before they marched.

"Adjudication?"

"Is it the judge under Yuan Shao's command?"

Huang Shao and Deng Xian looked at each other.

Deng Xian said: "If I remember correctly, you should have surrendered to the Yan army with Ju Yi, right!"

"Yes!"

"Then how did you get here?"

"In the battle of the eldest son city, we were captured by the Ming army, and then joined the Ming army!" the judge said in a low voice.

As soon as he said this, both Deng Xian and Huang Shao looked down on him.

Although it is rare to be loyal nowadays, surrender is still a very contemptible thing. For these battle-tested generals of the Ming army, they prefer to die in battle rather than surrender.

Besides, Shen Pei first surrendered to the Yan army, and then to the Ming army.

"Mr. Shen came to my camp, what is your business?"

Deng Xian asked bluntly.

"A certain General Zhang Liao is now sitting down as a general, and he was ordered to come here to coordinate your strategic deployment!" Said the judge directly.

"General Zhang sent you here?"

Deng Xian frowned.

"Yes!"

The judge said without humility, he knew that he might not be valued by these generals now, but he was able to take over the situation. At first he was a little worried, but now it seems that Zhang Liao's position in their hearts is not easy.

"What evidence?"

Huang Shao asked.

"For those who bear the order, General Zhang will come in person!"

The judge took out a token, one side of the token was the general's order, and the other side was Zhang.

There are not many generals in the Privy Council of the Ming Dynasty.

The general's order can order the generals.

"We respect the order of the general!"

Huang Shao and Deng Xian looked at each other, even though they were not happy, but since the general order has been issued, it means that General Zhang Liao has issued the military order.

Military orders are like a mountain. In the Ming army, the military law is the first. From Huang Zhong to the leader of the army, they all have the same attitude when facing the military orders, that is, they must obey them absolutely.

"Mr. Shen, I don't know what military order General Zhang has?" Huang Shao was a little more polite. No matter how good he was about Shen Pei's character, the general's order could not be wrong. Zhang Liao dared to give him the general's order, which meant that He has certain approval for this person, so he can be more cautious.

"General Zhang has led his army across the county from Shangdang, entered Hanoi, and is about to attack the Yan army camp from the west. At this time, we need to cooperate with General Zhang to carry out cross-ambush tactics!"

The judge said.

"Cross ambush?" Huang Shao narrowed his eyes: "This tactic is too demanding. To achieve such an effect, a high degree of cooperation is required. Can we do it?"

It wasn't that he didn't have confidence, but that although he and Zhang Liao had cooperated to some extent, they had never cooperated so closely. As long as there were some mistakes in timing, basically this tactic would be useless.

"At the current position where the Yan army is located, it is too difficult to cross ambush. Even if things form a pincer shape, it is very difficult to cross ambush. Not to mention that the Yan army may not be able to fight. If the Yan army insists on escaping, Our tactical arrangement is equivalent to having no effect!"

Deng Xian also said doubtfully.

"General Zhang has already evaluated the difficulty. There is a chance. In addition, you can also rest assured that the Yan Army has made arrangements. There is a great chance that the Yan Army will fight!"

said the judge.

"really?"

"I am in your army, and I am willing to be monitored by you. If you testify after the battle, if I have any lies, I will be executed, how about it?" the judge said in a low voice.

Huang Shao looked at the general's order in Shenpei's hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "I believe in the general!"

"The general has always been in charge of the battle, and he is better than us. Since there is a general who has made arrangements, then I will obey orders!" Deng Xian thought for a while and nodded.

He didn't expect the trial and assignment to go so smoothly. He was actually quite worried at the beginning. Even if there was an order from the general, the general would not obey the order of the foreign army. Among the Zhou army, even Yuan Shao's military order may not make a general in charge obey his words.

From this point alone, he could feel the discipline of the Ming army.

This is very difficult for many armies to do.

In fact, the reason why he was puzzled by this point was that he didn't know enough about the Ming army. The Ming army had already checked and balanced the birth of the kind of arrogant generals who held military power.

"Change tactics!"

Huang Shao and Deng Xian immediately summoned all the captains and began to re-discuss the tactical arrangement.

"General Pan's ambush along the way, we don't want it anymore, and immediately ordered General Pan to rush back from east to west, and join us as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Crossing the river is still crossing the river tonight, but instead of crossing the river from the front to attack, we march upstream, from east to west, downhill, and then land on the shore. Along this road, block all the routes of the Yan army's east wing!"

"Then attack in full force!"

"Force the Yan army to go west!"

"This is the only chance for the Yan army. If the research runs away, we will naturally have nothing to do, but if the Yan army fights, then they have no way to go, and they can only go west to fight!"

"As long as General Zhang can cooperate with the right timing, then the formation of the cross-ambush may be completed. As long as the Yan army enters our cross-ambush formation, it will be impossible to escape!"

The main generals and generals, and the captains of the various ministries quickly re-formulated the tactics of the battle.

This opened the eyes of the judges who were watching.

The pre-war atmosphere of the Ming army was the best state he had ever seen. This was hard to see in both the Yan army and the Zhou army. Whether it was in the Yan army or the Zhou army, the will of the general was everything.

However, in the Ming army, this kind of behavior of expressing their own opinions before the battle and cooperating to complete the tactical plan, which is obviously somewhat indiscriminate, is very rare.

For example, he saw just now that a school lieutenant dared to directly refute a chief general. This kind of thing was rarely seen in other armies.

"Mr. Shen, do you have anything to add?"

Huang Shao looked at Shen Pei, since Shen Pei came with the general's order, he has the power to command the two major armies, so Huang Shao can't throw him aside at this time.

"You have made the plan very detailed. I can think of it, and you have all thought of it!"

The examiner smiled wryly, but changed his attitude, and immediately said: "However, General Huang, I need to judge the timing of the battle. After all, General Zhang is cooperating with the battle this time. We need to be precise in timing. It's not that I can't trust you, but I am the one who knows more about the current deployment of General Zhang and Pang than you, and I insist on this point!"

Huang Shao and Deng Xian thought about it, then nodded, Huang Shao said: "This is fine!"

Cross ambush, the most important thing is to cooperate.

This cooperation, maybe only the trial and match can be sure.
