Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 407 Crossing the River, Soldiers Come to Jujube! (first update)
This is a small town not far from the Yellow River. The town is backed by a mountain. This unnamed mountain is neither high nor steep. There is a small plain on the left side, which is close to the official road. The Jingping army who came from the official road is temporarily stationed in this small plain. superior.

"How long is it until dawn?" Mu Jing looked at the sky, which was completely dark, and asked after calculating the time in his mind.

"Less than an hour!"

Personal guard Huo Shao replied.

"Pass my military order, each battalion will rest on the spot for an hour!" Mu Jing pondered for a while, and then ordered: "After dawn, directly attack Yanjin Ferry, take Yanjin quickly, and cross the river!"

It would be the best result if he could rest for half a day, but he could not give the defenders in Yanjin time to prepare.

"promise!"

The generals led the way, and they could afford such an intense battle.

"Wen Yuan, what's the situation at Yanjin Ferry?"

After setting up camp, Mu Jing spread out a marching map directly on the big rock under the light of the torch, and asked in a deep voice.

"The news sent by Jing Wusi is that there are [-] soldiers stationed at this ferry, and they are Dongjun soldiers. halberd!"

Zhang Liao said carefully: "I also sent scouts to inquire, and the news that the scouts inquired back was almost the same as the news sent by Jing Wusi, but their camp locations were somewhat inconsistent with the news, I have already sent a second batch of scouts to inquire. I believe there will be news coming back soon!"

For the news sent by Jing Wusi, they must send scouts to verify it during the march, this is the rule set by Mu Jing.

On the battlefield, any information asymmetry will cause unnecessary losses, and even lead to the failure of a war. In this regard, the rules set by Mujing are strict and rigorous, and every message must be checked will draw conclusions.

"Find out the news of their camp as soon as possible, and tell the scouts to be careful not to reveal their whereabouts. Any mistakes will make our previous efforts come to naught. Once we delay here in Yanjin, the next war may not be able to proceed!"

Mu Jing rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice.

This sneak attack on Suanzao is to copy the rear of the coalition forces. Once the news is exposed, the coalition forces will definitely pay a return visit. At that time, the strategy they have planned for so long will fall short, and this battle will eventually become a war of attrition.

"promise!"

Zhang Liao nodded in response: "Don't worry, my son, I will personally lead the scouts to inquire about the news!"

"Don't go!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Jingping's Second Battalion, Third Battalion, Fourth Battalion, plus your Shuofang Battalion, most people can't control it. You have to stay and take charge of the overall situation, and maintain a high level of cooperation among the battalions!"

"Xie Yu!" He let out a long roar.

"exist!"

Captain Xie Yu came quickly.

"You take the scouts to Yanjin Ferry to investigate, go back quickly!"

"As ordered!"

Xie Yu took the order and left.

Among the five major generals in the Jingping camp established by the Yellow Turban captives, Luo Ying is calm, Du Feng is cautious, Mo Bao is good at calculating, Xie Yu has a temperament like a wind, and Chen Dao has the best view of the overall situation.

This Xie Yu is best used as a scout, and in his third battalion, there are quite a few scouts with high martial arts skills.

……

While waiting, all the soldiers seized the time to recover their physical strength, drank water and ate dry food, and then closed their eyes back to back to recuperate, but their armor and weapons never left their hands, and they were ready to attack at any time.

Although the expansion of the Jingping Army has many new recruits, after the first battle in Hanoi, they are all veterans, and the combat quality of the soldiers has been rising steadily.

Gradually, the sky turned white.

"My lord, Xie Yu is back!"

"Let him come to see me quickly!"

Mu Jing is low-key, now every minute and every second is a struggle, in a war against every second, time is the most precious thing.

"Report to your son, this is the location of the enemy army that the scouts found out. The time is too short to find out clearly. In addition, we killed several scouts. Although we hid their bodies and did not cause much movement, the time If it grows, it will definitely be discovered, so we rushed back!"

Xie Yu sent a military distribution map.

This drawing is very rough, but the position of the enemy army on the ferry can be roughly distinguished.

"How many ships are moored at the ferry?" Mu Jing was more concerned about this.

"I went to see it myself, and I saw that they were all ships, and these soldiers were more about protecting these ships!"

"It seems that Liu Bei and the others crossed Hebei to Hanoi from here!"

Mu Jing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly figured it out, and he began to think: "Du Feng!"

"exist!"

"Lead the second battalion, attack the camp here, and make a quick decision!"

"As ordered!"

"Mo Bao, you attack the flanks, all the troops on the eastern front of the front battalion!"

"As ordered!"

"Zhang Liao!"

"exist!"

"Shuofang battalion is the main attack, attack the ferry head-on!"

"Yes!" Zhang Liao nodded.

"Thank you!"

"exist!"

"The task of the third battalion is, once the war starts, you must make a surprise attack from this position at any cost. This is the weakest position. After the surprise attack, go straight to the ferry along the river bank, and your task is to protect these Ships and ferries are all up to them!"

"promise!"

After the tasks were distributed, all the generals set off one after another.

Mu Jing lived in Zhang Liao's central army and personally led the army to attack the front of Yanjin.

……

An hour later, just after the sun rose, a great battle broke out at Yanjin Ferry.

"Enemy attack!"

"Defend now!"

Jingping's army's attack was as fast as thunder, and they broke into the Dongjun soldiers at once.

"Where did the enemy come from?"

Lu Heng, the captain of Dongjun County, is an alcoholic. He drank a little wine last night and wanted to take a nap. After all, there was nothing serious at the ferry, but the sudden sound of fighting woke him up. Walked out of the gate of the barracks, put on his belt, picked up his weapon, got on his horse, and went towards the battlefield: "Who are you, dare to attack our barracks, you are tired of work!"

His wide open and close tactics killed several enemy soldiers at once: "Young men from Dongjun, don't be afraid, come to me quickly!"

The battlefield is chaotic, and his soldiers have been scattered.

So he wanted to regroup the soldiers to fight again, but the enemy troops surrounding him made him look very ugly. This densely packed enemy army was at least several times his strength, how could he block it.

"You are tired of living!"

A halberd came through the air.

Zhang Liao came up. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as those of the top fighters, he was also a first-class fighter, one grade higher than Lu Heng.

clang clang! ! !
After more than ten rounds, he began to feel powerless.

"Damn it, where did the enemy army come from? Their goal...not good, they want to cross the river, this is the imperial army!"

Lu Heng gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Boys, hurry up and burn the boat."

"kill!"

At this moment, a force of troops came out from the bank of the river to snatch the ferry.

"Fighting with me, still distracted, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Liao cut off Lu Heng's head with a halberd.

"Your general is dead, put down your weapons quickly, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Liao lifted Lu Heng's head and roared angrily into the sky, his voice echoing in the endless sound of the Yellow River.

"Kill without mercy!"

"Kill without mercy!"

The morale of the Shuofang camp was high and they shouted in unison.

……

The battle ended smoothly, and it took less than an hour before and after. It was still in the morning, and the battalions had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Facing the sun, Mu Jing walked on the pier of the ferry.

This is a natural ferry, and a lot of boarding decks have been built.

"What's the situation on the other side of the river?" Mu Jing climbed up and looked into the distance, but he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the river very clearly.

"According to the news from Jingwu Division, there is no garrison on the other side of the river!"

Zhang Liao said: "Suanzao, Yanjin, Hanoi, three points and one line, Gongsun Zan in this Suanzao is very confident, so he just stationed [-] defenders on the north bank, in order to meet Liu Bei in Hanoi, and he is not worried Liu Bei is defeated!"

"Since this is the case, we will follow the trend!"

Mu Jing said: "Cross the river at noon, and I will come to the city in the afternoon!"

"promise!"

"Du Feng!"

"exist!"

"The second battalion stays in Yanjin. Two tasks are to monitor the situation of Liu Bei's army in Hanoi. The second task is to meet the Xiongnu cavalry going south. Remember, we must ensure that the Xiongnu cavalry crosses the river smoothly!"

"The last general takes the order!" Du Feng bowed his hands and took the order.

Mu Jing kept him on guard because of his cautious character and would never advance rashly. If it was Xie Yu, maybe seeing the situation was good, he would directly lead his army into the chrysanthemum position of Liu Bei's army.

As expected, the crossing went smoothly.

This is thanks to Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei who collected a lot of boats from upstream and downstream to cross the river. These boats are moored here and can supply [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to cross the river, saving Mujing several days of time.

The Shuofang battalion crossed the river first, then the third battalion, the fourth battalion, the reserve battalion and the personal guard battalion.

The reserve battalion is the second batch of students recruited by Jingping Wubeitang. They are all here, and they have been following the army. Their task is to be responsible for logistics and logistics. When they are about to watch the battle, if they can not participate in the battle, try not to let them participate in the battle. , Most of these are fourteen or fifteen-year-old children.

After crossing the river, it is the end of time.

There are at least two hours before evening.

Enough for their soldiers to come to the city.

……

Sour dates.

Although the main force of the coalition forces had already moved towards Sishui Pass, this was still the rear area of ​​the coalition forces. The military rations and weapons of the two prefectures of Yanyu and Yuzhou were all here, and the general of the Youzhou army, Gongsun Zan, was in charge of guarding them.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was inspecting the Baima Yicong barracks.

Baima Yicong is his trump card, and it is also his reliance. With Baima Yicong, he can be fearless. Even if he is surrounded by a large army, he can break out of the siege. Therefore, he pays great attention to the training of Baima Yicong, and he personally patrols every day. Fan.

"I don't know if Xuande's attack on Hanoi will be successful or not. If Chaoge is successfully captured, I will be able to move north!" Gongsun Zan secretly planned while watching Baima Yicong's training.

Liu Bei attacked Hanoi and was the vanguard.

Once Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Hanoi, he can move his main force to the north. As long as Hanoi is conquered, he will follow the trend and go straight to Luoyang. He may be the first prince to enter Luoyang. This is a famous name in history things.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Suddenly, a scribe came on horseback from outside the barracks.

"Ziyu, why are you so flustered?" Gongsun Zan frowned. As a counselor, he was a calm person, and few things could surprise him so much.

"Yanjin fell, and the Dongjun army was wiped out. Jingping's army has broken through the Yellow River, and they are coming straight to our Suanzao. Now they are less than [-] miles away from us. Within an hour, they can approach the city!"

Scholar Guan Jing jumped off his horse, clasped his hands in salute, and gritted his teeth to report.

"what?"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, his pupils changed color: "How could Yanjin fall, how is this possible?"
