Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1997: Wanyan's lone soldier descends from Shanglin, and the Dongcang army surrounds Wanyan

"My dear Lord Xue, lead an army to repel the enemy!" Xuanyuan Huang directly gave the order to his followers.

Since it is a night attack, the number of people certainly cannot be too large, so just send a troop to repel them.

What he really cares about is the current situation of the Han army! More precisely, what is the current situation of the 100,000 captives?

"Han Chongyan endured the humiliation of wearing women's clothes, it wouldn't be just for a night attack!" Shi Le said with self-mockery.

"How can it be!"

No one present took this remark to heart at all.

"Han Xin may not be planning this night attack, but what if this night attack is also a cover?" Feng Hou seemed to be thinking about something.

After hearing Feng Hou's words, many people present were like a flash of lightning, as if they understood something at once, and they all began to look at the location on the map.

"No! Can Han Xin really attack us at this time?"

"Just relying on those 100,000 captured soldiers?" Wang Shichong said unconfidently.

Even if Han Xin was a god, it was impossible for him to restore the captured troops to sufficient combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, right?
Not to mention, even if the 100,000 captured soldiers recovered their combat effectiveness, their Dayan troops, plus the Dongcang troops that had gathered together, would still have the advantage in terms of the number of troops.

Now, it is clear that they are in a strategic offensive posture, while Han Xin is in a strategic defensive posture. Why does it feel like the situation has been reversed all of a sudden?

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They had just been dragged into the ditch by the wind, and now, after Wang Shichong's reminder, they felt that it made sense.

In short, even people like Wang Meng couldn't guess Han Xin's intentions all of a sudden. At this time, the people on the Dayan side were in even greater chaos and could not guess Han Xin's intentions at all.

But in fact, although Feng Hou did not guess it completely right, she had actually guessed most of it right.

………………

Black Horse Ferry.

At this moment, the situation was in complete chaos.

Taking advantage of the night, Yang Yanzhao led 500 brave warriors on a small boat, approached the ferry, and launched a surprise attack on Heima Ferry.

The commander of Heimadu was not an unknown person, but Liu Wuzhou, one of the famous rebel kings in Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although this person is a little unknown in the novel, he is actually a figure to some extent.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Liu Wuzhou used the garrison in Shuozhou as his base, united with the Turks, rose in the north, and became a local lord. Under his command was the brave and warlike Song Jingang.

At that time, Li Yuan had just started his army in Taiyuan and was advancing towards Guanzhong. Taiyuan was empty, so Liu Wuzhou led his troops southward, captured Taiyuan and the surrounding areas, defeated Pei Ji and Li Yuanji, captured most of Hedong, and threatened Guanzhong. Even Li Yuan was greatly shocked and wrote in his hand that the enemy's strength was so great that it was difficult to fight against them. It was better to abandon the east of the Yellow River and guard Guanxi.

Li Tang naturally did not want to lose the land where his dragon rose, so he sent Li Shimin to the north to attack Liu Wuzhou, and the Battle of Baibi broke out. Relying on the geographical advantage, Li Shimin used the strategy of waiting for hunger, defending the city and gathering strength. After Song Jingang's army ran out of food, he launched a strong attack and defeated Song Jingang's elite army. Then he made a long raid to pursue the remnants of Song Jingang, and defeated Song Jingang in Queshu Valley, killing and capturing tens of thousands of people.

Since then, Liu Wuzhou lost all his elite troops and led the remnants to flee to the Turks. After many twists and turns, he was unable to make a comeback and was later killed by the Turks.

Liu Wuzhou's failure was due to the fact that he met Li Shimin, who was at least ranked among the top three in military ability in that era, but that did not mean he was really incompetent.

When Heimadu was attacked, Liu Wuzhou could be said to have made all the necessary responses in a timely manner. Five hundred men mixed in with tens of thousands of people, just like a drop of water in a river. In addition, it was night, and Liu Wuzhou could not catch Yang Yanzhao's tail at all.

In the chaos, military orders could not be conveyed in time, and information from various places could not be reported promptly and accurately. By the time Liu Wuzhou led his men to attack, Yang Yanzhao had already led his troops to other places.

Liu Wuzhou wanted to bring his personal guards to hold back Yang Yanzhao's troops. Generally, the number of troops used for night attacks would not be too large. As long as they could block the enemy, they would eventually be strangled. However, even though he thought so, he was almost always chasing after Yang Yanzhao.

Wei Daoer and Wang Xuba were also rebel kings during the Sui and Tang dynasties, but they were not as famous as Liu Wuzhou. However, at their peak, they also had more than 100,000 people. Although the quality of these more than 100,000 people was yet to be guaranteed, at least they were no small figures.

After they were born, these two, like many rebel kings in the Sui and Tang dynasties, were implanted into the Tianshi Dao.

However, these two were typical unlucky guys in this battle. While they were still asleep, shouts of killing suddenly came from outside.

Without even having time to dress himself, he ran out in a panic holding a spear, putting on his armor as he ran outside. However, he happened to run into the brothers Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi who were nearby, and the two brothers took their lives at will.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also showed their bravery. They rushed to stop Yang Yanzhao alone, but they were killed by Yang Yanzhao one after another.

Shi Xiu's strength is slightly stronger. After these years of training on the battlefield, his basic strength has broken through to over 90, which is considered to be among the top-notch ones.

But Yang Xiong is not so good, he is still stuck in the first-class realm, and his basic martial arts strength is only more than 80 points.

Even if these two people join forces, they are no match for Yang Yanzhao, who has now broken through to the heavenly level. Not to mention that Yang Yanzhao is also a man of three helpers, and he also has other brothers of the Yang family around him.

Yang Yanzhao led his troops in a frenzy of killing at Heimadu Ferry. When he had calculated the time was almost up, he led his troops to break out and leave.

By the time Xue Ju arrived with his troops, Yang Yanzhao was already on Mo Peng's warship and could only leave Xue Ju standing by the river gritting his teeth.

………………

"More than a thousand soldiers and four generals, this Han Zhongyan is really hateful!"

When the battle damage was counted, Xuanyuan Huang couldn't help but frown slightly.

To be honest, this loss, if we talk about the real situation, it is definitely not that big.

However, it is impossible to say that Xuanyuan Huang does not care. After all, Da Yan has been poor from the beginning. Although he has made up for it over the years, compared with the Han Dynasty, it is still poor.

However, compared with the so-called losses, he was more confused about what Han Xin was going to do?
However, three days later, Xuanyuan Huang knew what Han Xin had done. Three days later, Wanyan Xie also crossed the river, and the news of the divine army's surprise attack on Shanglin County on Heyang Road came. As the movement of the Han army was reported, it once again caused an uproar in the Yanying.

"No wonder Han Xin launched a night attack. It turned out that he did it to cover up for Wanyan Xie!" After receiving the news, Shi Le sighed.

The troops of both sides were facing each other along the river. Both sides had deployed a large number of spies to monitor the movements of the other side's troops. Among them were not only scouts in the army, but also masters from the martial arts world.

Under such circumstances, perhaps a small-scale troop movement can be hidden, but if it is a large-scale troop movement, it may not be able to be concealed from the detection of both sides.

Han Xin took advantage of this night attack to march his troops out of the camp and boarded Mo Peng's warship. On the surface, Mo Peng sent out warships to support Yang Yanzhao's night attack troops, but in fact, at the same time, the warships carrying Wanyan Xieye's troops quietly separated on the way back and went upstream all the way.

No matter whether it was the Han or the Dayan, their scouts or martial arts masters, no matter how many and how densely they were spread out, they were all on land. Once they reached the river, the intensity of the exploration would drop to the lowest level.

In this way, Wanyan Xieye's troops could appear quietly in the south of the river and successfully launch a surprise attack on Shanglin County on Heyang Road.

"Shanglin County is located at a strategic point, but I never thought that Han Xin would take action against this place!"

Feng Hou still had his usual doubts, and until now, he still hadn't seen through Han Xin's intentions. Similarly, Wang Meng, who was his own man, hadn't seen through it completely, let alone Feng Hou, who was his enemy.

Shanglin County, this place is indeed quite important.

After all, he happened to be at the junction of Yannan, Heyang and Guangyin. A hundred miles southwest of Shanglin was the capital of Guangyin.

There are also mountains crisscrossing Guangyin, especially those small mountains. It can be said that this road is almost entirely dominated by mountainous terrain.

Only the northeastern part of Guangyin has a part of plain terrain. It is precisely because of this that the seat of Guangyin is relatively located in the northeastern part of the entire road.

This area has always been the focus of Guangyin's defense line. Whether it was during the rebellion of the Three Kings, or when Zhongcang was later confronting various forces, this place was always a battleground for military strategists and became the focus of their scramble.

Shanglin County, this place can definitely become a sharp knife stabbing into Guangyin.

But even if this place is important, everyone still can't figure it out at this time.

No matter how important a place is, it will only be important when the timing is right.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Dongcang did not defend this place very well in this battle. Otherwise, it would not have been taken down so easily.

Firstly, although Wanyan Xie had already captured Shanglin County, this army crossed the river alone. Once Xuanyuan Huang attacked this army, it would almost become the center of a battlefield, forcing Han Xin to fight Xuanyuan Huang head-on.

Moreover, because of the geographical location of both sides, Xuanyuan Huang has a natural advantage.

Secondly, Shanglin County could become a sharp knife that could penetrate Guangyin. However, it was not something that could be penetrated by 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Not to mention, although Meng Tian led more than 100,000 troops south to Guangyin, his main target was never Guangyin.

His most fundamental purpose of going south to Guangyin was not Guangyin itself, but to open the Tianqi Defense Line, threaten Henan from the east, and cooperate with Wang Yu to take Henan down first.

Among Zhongcang's territory, Henan is the essence. The territories of Zhongcang excluding Henan cannot be compared with Henan.

It is also because of this that after Meng Tian went south to Guangyin, the focus of the confrontation between Meng Tian and Jiang Shuihan was never in the eastern part of Guangyin, but in the western part of Guangyin.

Without the support of Meng Tian's troops, how could these 5,000 people become a sharp knife that pierces Guangyin?

Otherwise, why didn't Dong Cang pay attention to its defense in such an important place? The location is an important place, but for this battle, it itself is not so important.

It is precisely because of this that neither Wang Meng nor Feng Hou could understand Han Xin's actions for a while.

"Your Majesty, no matter what Han Xin wants to do?"

"Now that this army has been delivered to our door, we must not let it go!" Xue Ju said directly with murderous intent.

These five thousand people have come to our door, so how can we let them go?
Furthermore, although Zhong Cang has nothing to do with them, what if it were in the past, were they and Zhong Cang still enemies?

Even in this battle, they only had a common enemy, but no alliance.

However, if they allow this sharp knife to threaten Guangyin, it will also not be a good thing for them if it causes any impact on Zhongcang.

What happened to Zhongcang had nothing to do with them, Da Yan. In fact, if it were a different time, the more dangerous Zhongcang was, the happier they would be!
But in the current situation, if Zhongcang fails, they will be even worse off. After all, Zhongcang is the main battlefield, and the main troops of the Han Dynasty's southern expedition are all in Zhongcang.

If that part of the troops comes over, how can they continue fighting this battle?
"Stupid! Han Xin must have a deep meaning behind his use of troops!"

"If we send troops rashly and fall into Han Xin's trap, it would be a loss!" Shi Le retorted directly.

It's fine to use that method on others, but how can you be unprepared when dealing with Han Xin?

"Then can we just leave it alone?" Xue Ju also refused to give in.

"Your Majesty, Shanglin County is not under our jurisdiction after all?" Feng Hou quietly reminded at this time.

"That's right, military advisor, the affairs of Shanglin County still have to be handed over to General Yang!" Xuanyuan Huang's eyes lit up and he nodded directly.

Heyang, this road is controlled by Dayan for at least half, Dongcang for another half, and the remaining is in Zhongcang's hands. The northern half of Heyang Road is in the hands of Dongcang.

Shanglin County is naturally a part of this.

It is naturally very reasonable to let Dong Cang manage their own territory.
