The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 486

Liu Chan sat on the middle hall, looking at Gai Meng in astonishment.This guy first confessed his mistakes to Liu Chan and Zhang Bao, then he became heartbroken, and finally he burst into tears, begging everyone for forgiveness.Liu Chan was really at a loss again.

Zhang Bao was also taken aback by Ge Meng's performance.He stared wide-eyed at Gai Meng, not knowing how he should speak to Gai Meng.

But looking at Gai Meng's miserable appearance, Zhang Bao suddenly felt that his "pleading guilty" seemed not enough!
But things have developed to such a point that there is no need to go any further.In the end, Liu Chan was really bluffed by Gai Meng and Zhang Bao, and finally agreed that the next military operation would be handed over to them.

Liu Chan was not yet sophisticated enough, so he was immediately exposed.

Only then did the two bid farewell to Liu Chan with gratitude.

At noon two days later, Xiong Ping's men arrived at Huya Mountain first.Liao Hua's army should arrive at the designated location in Zhijiang County tomorrow morning.

Xiong Ping chose a suitable location, imitated the style of the big camp set up by Liu Chan, and went to the camp in the same way.

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Xiong Ping was also eager to win.He first sent the 1000-man cavalry team given by his son, bypassing the outer area of ​​Huya Mountain, and directly threatened the Huya Beach adjacent to the Yangtze River in the east, trying to cut off the connection between the "Shuanghuan" army and the Soochow Navy.

Then, Xiong Ping gathered 4000 people and came to the foot of Huya Mountain.

Since it is spring and the weather is still slightly cool, and the local area is close to the Yangtze River, the humidity is very heavy, and the mountains are particularly prone to fog in the morning.Fortunately, today's weather is good enough. Under the sunshine, the fog on the mountain quickly disappeared, but occasionally there are a few pieces of fog like torn scarves floating out of the mountain forest.

Of course, the enemies on the mountain knew that Xiong Ping's army had arrived.There are banners and banners everywhere on the mountain, but Xiong Ping scoffs at this, this move is purely a bluff.

Xiong Ping had already received information. Since Zhu Huan had a large number of troops and the relationship between Shuanghuan was not good, under the mediation of the supervising army Gu Yong, the two armies had already delineated their respective defense areas on Huya Mountain. .

Sun Huan's army defended the eastern side of Huya Mountain, probably including Huya Beach and Houshan at the foot of the mountain.Sun Huan's army is defending the frontal area facing west.

In other words, the army around Xiong Ping will now face Zhu Huan's army.

Before attacking, Xiong Ping had already studied the map of Huya Mountain in detail, and he already knew the topography of Huya Mountain like the back of his hand.

At this time, he observed the situation on the mountain again, and found that the enemy army was not taking the initiative to attack. He already guessed that because Zhu Huan's army was smaller than his own, he wanted to rely on the dangerous terrain to resist.

Xiong Ping sneered, and the beard on his face moved involuntarily.Then, he gave an order, the first army phalanx in the front row and the second phalanx behind, a total of 1000 people, rushed towards Huya Mountain first.

For a moment, Huya Mountain shouted and killed everywhere.The fighting on the frontal battlefield began immediately.Then, Sun Huanjun, who had been quietly hiding in the woods on the mountain, immediately erected their military flag.They drew out their sabers, and attacked the Xiong Ping army from top to bottom.

In the sky in front of the mountain, countless birds took off immediately, circling in the sky above Huya Mountain.Their chirping sounds have long been covered by human shouts of killing.

Soon after, the sergeants of the two sides came into contact, and the fighting finally began.The silent mountain forest immediately turned into a slaughterhouse for human beings.Soon, the woods were filled with blood.

The cavalry team assigned by Xiong Ping to the east of Huya Mountain, after arriving at the designated location, found that it was indeed a river beach.Moreover, many places on the lotus pond are covered with reeds taller than people.The wind blew, and the sound of clattering almost overwhelmed the sound of horseshoes.

Farther away, there is a wetland, and I don't know if there is a swamp.In fact, such terrain is obviously not suitable for high-speed mobile troops like cavalry to operate.

What's more, the reed marshes in front of them are really scary in size.Once the 1000-man cavalry team drove in, although they would not lose their way, it would not be an easy task to pass.

Furthermore, the enemy is likely to ambush inside.Or, if the enemy is ruthless enough, set off a few big fires when the cavalry marched to the center of the reed marsh.Then they can wait for the 1000 people to ride once and for all, and it all turns into a barbecue.

It is precisely because of such doubts that Xiong Pingjun's cavalry has been wandering around the periphery of the reed marsh.They tried to find a road that could reach Huyatan and the foot of the eastern mountain without passing through the reeds in front of them, but they couldn't find it after all.

The cavalry's timid approach is actually quite correct.In fact, this is also thanks to their long-term combat experience and their good combat literacy.It is true that Sun Huan had already laid a large number of igniters in the reed marsh. As long as this cavalry team dared to enter, he would immediately order the army to fire rockets and burn them without leaving a single piece of armor!
But Xiong Pingjun's cavalry did not give Sun Huan such a chance to make meritorious deeds. Sun Huan was so angry that he could only watch them linger and stare at them from the top of the hill, and then yelled and cursed.

Therefore, the battle on Huya Mountain on the first day actually only happened on the west side.And in fact, the battle in the west was not very fierce. After the first wave of 1000 people was invested, Xiong Ping then invested in a phalanx of 500 people.

On Zhu Huan's side, not many troops were invested, only about a thousand people.Therefore, the battle on the first day was actually just a mutual test of strength between the two sides.

After the first day of fighting was over, the army returned to the camp.After Xiong Ping learned that the cavalry did not step forward to fight Sun Huanjun, after carefully understanding the situation, he felt that their decision was actually correct, and he did not mean to blame them.

On the second day, the two sides fought again.But after the first day of testing, Xiong Ping already had a better understanding of Zhu Huan's army's combat effectiveness.Therefore, after the first batch of troops were deployed, Xiong Ping began to send troops to the battlefield one by one.

The war between the two sides, in fact, is now truly launched.

On the east side, after Xiong Ping thought about it this time, he still sent the 1000-man cavalry team.However, he did not order the cavalry to attack across the reeds, but let them launch a large number of rockets into the reeds as soon as they arrived at the designated location—since he was afraid that the enemy would attack with fire, he might as well burn himself Forget it!

Sun Huan has been on the mountain to check the enemy's situation down the mountain.When he saw the flames bursting into the sky suddenly in the reeds, he was dumbfounded and couldn't help but screamed: "What are those bastards doing? Could it be that the kindling that I set up was for them to light the fire!!"
