Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145 Zhao Botao Linyuan Battle Nanman Guanyun Changwan City Rejects Cao Hong
"Fourth Route Army?" Zhao Feng was surprised when he heard Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's overall situation in detail.The news that he was sitting in Jingnan was blocked, and he only thought that it was Meng Huo who came, but he never expected that Cao Cao would make such a big commotion.

"Exactly, my lord ordered me to tell the general that he personally led the army to fight against Cao Cao, and the general will settle the matter of the southern barbarians by himself. My lord's army has already arrived in Qiao County. In addition, Mr. Xianhe has also sent an envoy to Hebei to let General Yuan Send troops according to the agreement, and attack Cao Cao from both sides." Chen Dao replied.

"That's good." Zhao Feng agreed, but he was a little surprised in his heart.There is no other reason. This time the Fourth Route Army's aggressive attack looks like a replica of the Five Route Army's invasion of Western Shu in history. Could this be Sima Yi's idea?
In fact, Zhao Feng is quite jealous of Sima Yi, who has dragged Zhuge Liang to death in history. This old man is like that poisonous snake. up.Now that I am sitting in Jingnan, don't let him capsize the boat in the gutter.

"General, I don't know what's going on right now?" After everyone sat down, Zhou Tai, who was the most impatient, asked first. "Just now General Sha sent someone to report that Nanzhong Menghuo raised [-] troops to attack our Wuling County. The vanguard is Manzhong brave general E Huan. He will reach Yuanjiang tomorrow with [-] troops." Zhao Feng said slowly.

"Yuanjiang?" Chen Dao asked in surprise when he heard the words. "This barbarian army is so brave, they hit Yuanjiang so quickly?" Gan Ning was also quite surprised.

"Hehe, the two generals don't know something. I ordered General Sha to give up the land west of the Yuanjiang River. When Ehuan's [-]-strong army crosses the Yuanjiang River, you, Xingba, immediately lead the navy to block their retreat and prevent Meng Huo from invading. , we will lead the army to kill E Huan head-on!" Zhao Feng smiled confidently.

"The general understands!" Chen Dao and the three of them agreed when they heard the words.Zhao Feng had few soldiers, even after Chen Dao and the others led the army to reinforce him, Zhao Feng only had 6 to [-] troops, including the new army and navy, and the combat effectiveness in land battles was not strong.Therefore, in the face of the [-] brave and skilled barbarians, it is impossible to head-on.From Chen Dao's point of view, it's a good way to let the enemy through the river bit by bit and deal with them slowly.

But the judges should be able to think of this: Zhao Feng will not only use such a simple strategy.

Not to mention that Zhao Feng and the others were preparing separately, at this time E Huan, the vanguard of the barbarian army, led an army of 1 men and rushed towards Yuanjiang.Along the way, although E Huan's troops were harassed by a few small groups of Wuxi barbarians, the largest number was no more than a hundred people, and they all rode away after shooting arrows from a distance.There are few horses in Nanzhong, and E Huan's [-]-strong vanguard team has only a few hundred horses, and he is powerless to fight back against this harassment.After all, no matter how fast a person runs, he cannot compare to a four-legged horse.

"When did Sha Moke become so timid, only shooting arrows and running away?" E Huan looked at a Nanzhong soldier who had just died of a poisoned arrow in front of him, and said viciously.When passing through a forest just now, several Wuxi barbarians shot poisonous arrows at them.If the soldier hadn't pushed him away just now, he might have died now, but the price he paid was that the soldier himself had been shot by an arrow.Although there was no serious injury, Wuxi Poison really blocked his throat when he saw blood, and he died after only two struggles.

"Leave two people to bury this brother generously, and tell the army to proceed carefully. As long as you leave this forest, you can walk another twenty miles to Yuanjiang River. After crossing the river, I would like to see if Shamoke can hide." Where are you going?" After all, E Huan was the leader of this barbarian army, so he forced himself to calm down and come up with countermeasures, and finally decided to fight steadily.E Huan knew that Sha Moke was powerful, and his martial arts skills were by no means inferior to his own.If it weren't for Shamoko being too powerful, the Nanzhong barbarians would have annexed the Wuxi barbarians long ago.Now he is uncharacteristically not fighting him head-on, just harassing him. E Huan feels that something is wrong with this, so it's better to be careful.

"E Huan is really a good boy!" In the depths of the dense forest, Sha Moke, covered with green leaf juice, grinned when he saw the Nanman army marching cautiously through the leaves.

"General Sha, it's time for us to withdraw. We'll deal with them after they cross the river." It was Zhu Ran, who was also covered in green beside Sha Moke, who spoke.Kou Feng and others were not very impressed with this performance-like attire, but Zhu Ran was so happy with it that he was almost reluctant to put on the armor. Howled twice.

"I know, let's go on horseback. There is a boat in the south." Sha Moke patted his buttocks, and was the first to walk to an open field in the south. The ships prepared by the navy crossed the Yuan River.

Not long after, E Huan led his army to the Yuanjiang River. The Yuanjiang River was not particularly wide, but there were still some tens of feet.E Huan looked at the wide river, and knew that it was impossible to swim across, and it was unrealistic to build a pontoon bridge.After learning that all the upstream and downstream ships had been requisitioned, E Huan ordered people to cut bamboo and wood in the north of the river to make boats and rafts to cross the river.

In the end, it is the strength of the number of people, 1 people shot at the same time, and hundreds of bamboo rafts were built at night.In the early morning of the next day, E Huan gave an order, and all hundreds of rafts were launched into the water to transport these barbarians with a carrying capacity of more than 3000 people each time.It took an hour, a total of three times to go back and forth, and finally all crossed the river.

"Leave 500 people to guard the raft, and when the king and the others arrive, they will cross the river from now on!" E Huan told a small leader, and then led the army to continue advancing.As long as you cross the Yuanjiang River, you will arrive at Linyuan County, the seat of Wuling County, in less than 50 miles to the north.E Huan believed that unless Shamoke and Jinxuan completely abandoned Wuling, they would definitely come out to fight him.

Sha Moke didn't disappoint him, just after E Huan walked for more than 20 miles, E Huan saw Sha Moke who was waiting in front of him, and his [-] Wudang flying army.In addition, there are ten thousand recruits led by Zhao Feng and Chen Dao.

"Hahahaha, Shamoke, you have finally come out!" E Huan looked at the Jingzhou army, which was in a neat line and still had an advantage in numbers, but he didn't show any fear.Like most of the Southern Central Barbarian Army, E Huan has always been dismissive of the combat effectiveness of the Han army.There is no other reason, but because no one in the Yizhou army under Liu Zhang's command has been able to stop them these years. The Nanzhong barbarians have gradually expanded from the initial Yongchang and Yunnan counties to Xinggu and Zangzang.In E Huan's view, no matter how neat your queue is, he believes that with the [-] Nanzhong athletes under his command, it is enough to overwhelm the Han army three times his own.The only thing that might be a little troublesome is the thousands of people in Shamoco.

Not to mention E Huan's small heart, at this time Shamoke on the opposite side has already called out directly. "E Huan, you and Lao Tzu have fought so many times, do you have the guts to do it again today!" Sha Moke roared angrily, while knocking on the pair of barbed wire bones in his hand.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed?" After E Huan said this, he slapped his horse and rushed forward, while Sha Moke fought on foot. Now the Jingzhou army became noisy when they saw it, and even the barbarian army looked unhappy.However, the two of them who were fighting fiercely couldn't care less about these things. E Huan moved up and down with a Fang Tianji in his hand, and his moves couldn't leave Sha Moke's vital points; It's inconvenient, but at the moment, every move around him is like a maggot attached to the bone.Once the weapons of the two meet, they usually swing back separately, it seems that they are evenly matched in terms of martial arts.

"Grandma, it's really an advantage to have a beast!" After receiving E Huan's trick again, Sha Moke murmured.After all, E Huan was on the horse, and the result of being condescending was that his strength increased by three points out of thin air.Although Sha Moke is born with supernatural power, he can't take advantage of it now.

After a few more moves, Shamoke rolled over under E Huan's horse's hooves on the spot, raised his head and hit the horse's belly with a hammer, and E Huan's war horse immediately fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

"What?" Unexpectedly, Sha Moke would use such a trick, E Huan fell off the horse by surprise.Just as he was about to get up, the barbed thorns of Shamoko were handed up again.E Huan had no choice but to sit on the ground across Fang Tianji in his hand and abruptly took the move.

There was a loud sound of "Dang", and this time E Huan suffered a big loss. Although he took this move without a firm foothold, the price he paid was that his tiger's mouth was shattered, his arms were numb and his whole body was numb again. Sitting back on the ground, I couldn't get up for a while.At the same time, Sha Moke saw that his vitality was seriously injured, so he drew out his waist knife with his left hand and stepped forward to put it on his neck.

"Take it!" Sha Moke roared, and several Wudang flying soldiers behind him hurriedly held ropes and tied him into a ball.At this time, E Huan's subordinates saw the leader being arrested, and rushed to catch up together in a hurry.How could the Jingzhou army be afraid of them, Zhao Feng waved his hand, more than 1 Jingzhou army took the Wudang flying army as the main force, and the new army rushed forward as the left and right wings, and they fought together in a melee before long.

"Hey!" After Zhao Feng shot a Nanzhong soldier away, he still paid attention to the battle situation in the surrounding area despite his busy schedule.It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army is quite strong. They grew up in the mountains and forests with outstanding physical fitness and bloodthirsty temperament. Such infantry has excellent individual combat effectiveness. What they lack is team combat ability.

Although the Nanzhong Army is strong, the Jingzhou Army is not just for nothing.The ten thousand new troops were trained by Chen Dao, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. What they lacked was actual combat experience, which could only be tempered slowly on the battlefield.However, when Wudang Feijun faced the Nanzhong Army, it had an absolute upper hand.Not only because the team's combat capability is stronger, but also because the equipment is more advanced.

What must be admitted here is that although the Nanzhong barbarians and Shanyue people can smelt metal, their forging technology is obviously inferior to that of the Han people.Wudang Flying Army is a special force operated by Zhao Feng with great painstaking efforts. The sergeants under his command are all equipped with ring-head knives made of the best refined iron in the Jingzhou Army. Sometimes a single swing of the knife can cut off the opponent's weapon.In addition, the Wudang flying army is equipped with leather armor, and the key parts are also protected by iron plates. The protection ability is naturally much better than that of the barbarian army who only wears a piece of animal skin.After a quick look, Zhao Feng knew that he would not lose this battle.

"Be careful, General!" It was Zhao Feng's personal bodyguard Niu Jin who swung his knife and smashed an arrow towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng nodded at Niu Jin, and then waved his army to fight again.A battle lasted from noon to dusk. In the end, seeing that the South China Army could not win, they all retreated in defeat.Zhao Feng asked Sha Moke to lead his army to chase after him for a while, that's all.

"General, our army killed [-] enemies, took about [-] prisoners, and the rest all ran away. These southern barbarians ran really fast! The new army suffered more than [-] casualties, and the Wudang Flying Army also suffered nearly [-] casualties. " After cleaning the battlefield, Chen Dao said in a panic.

"They can't escape, Xingba is waiting for them in Yuanjiang." Zhao Feng smiled and said.Then he seemed to be talking to himself and added another sentence: "It's good to run away a few." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and even Chen Dao, who was close at hand, didn't notice it.

Just as Zhao Feng and Chen Dao were busy cleaning the battlefield, Cao Hong was bragging for battle at the gate of Wancheng. "Red-faced thief, quickly climb out of the city and kill your grandpa Cao Hong!" Cao Hong shouted loudly while jumping on his horse and slashing his sword, beside him was Xu Huang with a helpless face.

Since the defeat in Xuzhou that year, Cao Hong has practiced martial arts diligently over the years, and his martial arts has indeed improved a lot, so today he is full of confidence and took the initiative to challenge Guan Yu.But Xu Huang knew that with Cao Hong's martial arts, if he made a super performance to death, he would be a tie with himself.If you fight Guan Yu like this now, you are really looking for a dead end.

After Cao Hong yelled and cursed a few words, he saw the gate of Wancheng slowly opened, and five hundred school swords walked out, lined up on both sides. In the middle, there was a pair of red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, a face like a jujube, a beard two feet long, and wearing a green robe. The golden armor, dragging the Qinglong Yanyue knife upside down in his hand, and the red rabbit chasing the wind horse under his crotch, not angry and arrogant, is Guan Yu.
