Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 You Lurk Deep Enough

"General, let's have another drink. Get drunk and relieve your worries!"

In the navy camp at Guandu, Cheng Zi, who was half drunk and half awake, poured a glass of wine, and persuaded the depressed Gan Ning opposite him.The latter was a little helpless after hearing this, but in the end he picked up the wine glass and sighed, and poured down a glass of dirty wine.

This is a partial tent in the Guandu navy camp. In addition to Gan Ning and Cheng Zi, there are Han Zhong, son of Han Dang, Huang Bing, son of Huang Gai, and several other lieutenants and captains of the navy.Since Pang Tong took power, these unreliable people have been under house arrest here.Of course, in order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, Pang Tongtong did not kill them at the same time.Gan Ning, who was so depressed, heard the new naval commander Pang Lin yelling and yelling outside to give orders, so he couldn't feel better.

"I don't know how the lord is doing." Huang Bing took a sip of his wine and sighed.Han Zhong on the side said with some hope: "It is said that General Zhao has dispatched troops to Wancheng, so he must be able to rescue the lord."

"If it wasn't for General Zhao being far away in Xichuan, how could Pang Shiyuan be so arrogant?" Cheng Zi said bitterly when he heard the words.Gan Ning, who had been silent all this time, poured down the wine, and at this moment also spit out a sentence: "Unfortunately, people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all ungrateful. Now that Pang Shiyuan wins over for a while, he immediately plots against him. What is wrong with the lord who is close at hand?" Never mind!"

"Forget it, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are tricky places, there are no loyal people!" Huang Bing sighed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, a voice came from outside the tent: "Who said there are no loyal people in Yanzhou?"

"Li Zhengfang?" Gan Ning was also shocked when he heard the words, he quickly opened the tent door and saw that it was Li Yan who walked into the tent with a smile on his face.However, this was not the most unexpected thing for Gan Ning, what was even more unexpected was that Li Yan was followed by Pang Lin who was tied up.

"Li Zhengfang, who is this?" Gan Ning couldn't react for a while, and asked quickly.Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "Xingba, I, Li Zhengfang, hibernated for a month, and only then did I seek this opportunity to release you. Now the lord is trapped in Xingyang, and General Zhao leads his troops out of Wancheng, and is about to fight Cao Hong in the city. At this time, if you lead the navy to go upstream and go straight to the rear of Xingyang, if you don't expect them, you will definitely win a big victory!" Li Yan smiled.

"Zhengfang, you boy is still with us!" Gan Ning held back for a long time, and finally managed to utter a word.Behind him, Cheng Zi and the others were both surprised and delighted.But Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "I, Li Yan, deeply appreciate the lord's kindness. How can I see death without saving? It's just that the former Pang Shiyuan and others came back with troops. Even though I wanted to save the lord, I only had 2 to [-] troops under my command. , but also to guard against Cao Cao, how can he deal with the [-] troops? We have to endure for the time being to gain the trust of his people. Now Liu Shuye led the army to Jingnan, Fu Shiren sent troops to Wancheng, and the former troops stationed in Ba There are [-] troops in the county, and now Pang Shiyuan's troops left in Xuchang are only about [-]. I have the courage to take the opportunity to seize his military power in one fell swoop, command the three armies, and then come to the navy to kill Pang Lin by surprise and save you! If it is an early date Let Pang Tong realize that my fate is small, and the Lord is in danger if he is trapped in Xingyang!"

"Zheng Fang endured the humiliation, Gan Ning admires it!" Gan Ning also sighed.Of course, although Li Yan said that he was so loyal, in fact, the reason why he didn't go the same way with Pang Tong had some intentions of his own.

Since Pang Tong seized power, it has been more than a month since he divided up his cronies and followers.Li Yan knew that he was neither Pang Tong's classmate nor a well-known family in Jingxiang. In the end, Pang Tong would definitely not tolerate him controlling a state like this.Pang Tong didn't expect that Li Yan would have so many schemes, and he was actually asked to do them.

Ruolun military strategy and resourcefulness, crouching dragon and phoenix chicks each have their own strengths; but in terms of political ability, Pang Tong, who has a perverse personality, is far inferior to Zhuge Liang.His ambitious plan to support the young master was completely ruined in the end because of Li Yan's betrayal.

"Have you ever caught Pang Shiyuan?" Han Zhong asked hastily.Not only him, but everyone else looked forward to it.If Pang Tong can be caught, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

"No!" Li Yan sighed with some frustration, and then sighed: "This guy is really cunning, he will run away immediately if he sees something wrong, I am afraid that he will go to Jingnan to join Liu Shuye." After a pause, Li Yan said again: " Xingba, I have now recruited Pang Tong's troops, but the total of Yanzhou and Yuzhou has only [-] to [-] troops. Excluding the defense against Cao Cao, there are not many left. Now it seems that we still have to rely on your navy. In addition, I will send someone to immediately inform General Guan and Wen Zhongye to withdraw their troops and attack Cao Cao." Li Yan's rebellion freed up the troops Wenpin and the others used to guard against Yanzhou, and turned to deal with Cao Cao .

"This plan is very good. It is not too late. I will send troops immediately!" Gan Ning nodded. Prepare not to mention it.

And all of this, Zhao Feng and Cao Hong under Xingyang City didn't know.Zhao Feng looked around and followed the old routine.He led the infantry up and strangled Cao Hong first, and at the same time let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to cruise around. Once he found a gap, he would take the opportunity to be ruthless.In this way, Cao Hong will inevitably be dragged down in the end.

"Soldiers, form an arrow formation, and charge with me!" Seeing Zhao Feng's army opposite, Cao Hong gave an order, and the [-] Cao troops immediately assembled into six huge arrow formations, and rushed towards Zhao Feng's army.The infantry and cavalry came together in a menacing manner, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.

The weakness of the front and arrow formation is that the rear of the formation is not stable.If the enemy is attacking with a front and arrow formation, then the best countermeasure is to use the crane wing formation to suppress the opponent's frontal attack, and then use the two wings of the crane wing formation to attack the opponent's back.In this way, it will surely get twice the result with half the effort.But if you can't withstand the opponent's strong attack head-on, then you will lose.As for who will be the top, Zhao Feng thinks it over, and he is still the only one who can take on this important task.

However, Zhao Feng now has a lot of chips in his hands, with Zhao Yun's 12 Xiliang iron cavalry, it would be perfect to outflank the opponent's rear.Of course, Cao Hong is not a short-sighted person either. Of the [-] Cao army, he only used [-] to attack Zhao Feng's frontal formation. The rest were reserved as a reserve team, ready to intercept Zhao Yun's Xiliang iron cavalry and protect his flanks. Safety.

"Crossbowmen, let go!" With Niu Jin's roar, the crossbowmen in the front row of the Sichuan Army who had already prepared, immediately picked up the crossbow arrows in their hands and began to shoot.The powerful crossbow, the continuous crossbow with ten arrows, the copper crossbow with ten arrows, and various crossbows all began to roar.Cao Jun's soldiers who rushed to the front row were all shot to the ground immediately.

Stepping crossbows, copper box crossbows, and ordinary crossbow arrows are all for nothing, but the continuous crossbow is really shocking enough.Different from the Battle of Longxi back then, the bow and crossbow that Zhao Feng carried this time were all his possessions after careful preparation in Xichuan for these years.Although the shots were fired on the plains, the lethality was more than 01:30 compared to blocking Xia Houyuan in Jieting.Cao Hong and Man Chong, who were in command of the Chinese army, saw it and were also secretly shocked.

"Mr. Bo Ning, what kind of crossbow is this? It's so powerful?" Seeing the continuous crossbow, Cao Hong was also frightened.If it goes on like this, before he can take on the opponent, he will have to leave tens of thousands of people behind.

"According to General Miaocai, when Zhao Botao was in Xichuan, he sent people to make a Liannu, and it must have been this thing!" Man Chong said in astonishment.After a pause, Man Chong also comforted: "General Zi Lian, don't panic, although this crossbow is sharp, but with such an astonishing consumption of arrows, it is expected that Zhao Botao will not be able to last."

"That's good!" Cao Hong felt a little relieved when he heard that, but Zhao Feng didn't just rely on Liannu to deal with him.The advantage of the Liannu is continuous shooting, but the range is short and the arrow consumption is astonishing. In addition, the loading of the arrow is too cumbersome, and even the strength is not enough, which are the shortcomings of the Liannu.In order to make up for these shortcomings, Zhao Feng specially arranged copper box crossbows and stepping crossbows for long-range sniping, and the continuous crossbow was only for close-up shooting.Moreover, the shooters were also divided into three rows, firing continuously to ensure uninterrupted firepower.In this way, the pressure that Cao Hong and others faced would be great enough.

Cao Hong was shocked at this time, but he didn't know that his opponent Zhao Feng was also quite surprised.At this moment, Zhao Feng already knew that it was not Cao Cao who was fighting against him today, but Cao Hong.I thought that if I was this impatient, I could handle it easily.But now in the fight, his crossbow arrows caused him so many casualties, but Cao Jun still pressed over slowly and firmly. Although it was slow, the formation was not messed up after all.Xia Houyuan was like this in Longxi back then, and so is Cao Hong now.

In fact, although the ability may not be as good as Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, Cao Hong is definitely a famous general.Zhao Feng understood at this moment that he must not underestimate any opponent.Seeing that Cao Jun was about to attack, Zhao Feng gave an order and immediately changed his formation to ordinary infantry, ready to fight the opponent to the death.As for Zhao Yun's Xiliang iron cavalry, the best results can be achieved only after the battle becomes a little more anxious before joining the battle circle.

"Kill!" I don't know who yelled first, and then the 20 troops from both sides yelled together, and the most intense and tragic hand-to-hand combat started.Countless blades and spears stabbed and chopped off, and no one knew whether his head would still be attached to his neck the next moment.All they knew was that they should slash the weapons in their hands at the enemy army whose clothes were different from their own.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Xiahouba Hehe yelled wildly, the big knife in his hand flew up and down, many people had already died by his knife.When he reached the point where he was happy, Xia Houba simply opened his mouth and let out a wolf-like howl.

"What are you screaming for?" Accompanied by this angry curse, a green dragon knife suddenly slashed.Hastily crossing the big knife in his hand to block the knife, Xia Houba fixed his eyes on the man in front of him.Although it is a classic combination of green parrot jersey + blue dragon knife, but it lacks a pair of long beards and the iconic red face.All this is enough to show that even if this person is not Guan Yu, he must have a deep relationship with Guan Yu.

"Who are you, old man Guan Yu?" Xia Houba cursed angrily while slashing.Guan Ping swiped away this move with a horizontal saber, and then yelled as he returned the move: "I am Guan Ping, you little thief must die!"

"Hmph, even if the old man Guan Yu comes in person, I'm not afraid!" Xia Houba said disdainfully, and then he swung his knife and fought Guan Ping into a ball.On the other side, Zhao Yun, who was cruising around, was entangled by Yu Jin.
