- The iron cavalry was rolling, and thousands of divine cavalry were rushing towards the fleeing Yan cavalry like beasts out of their cages.
"If we purely talk about the strength of the cavalry in command, Zhang Xiu is not inferior to Zhang Liao. What's more, although Zhang Xiu's Yan cavalry was defeated, they still numbered seven to eight thousand.
"It's a pity that when the two armies are fighting, morale takes precedence. Once morale collapses, even a million-strong army is of no use."
Yan Qi, who was stunned, had no fighting spirit at all. He abandoned his helmet and armor and just ran away for his life. He was afraid that if he escaped even slightly slowly, he would be pierced by the terrifying arrows of the Chu army.
Zhang Liao led his army in pursuit. As they galloped, the Chu cavalry soldiers fired their bows and arrows, killing the enemies wantonly.
Three thousand Chu cavalry, like tigers and wolves, chased the defeated Yan State for more than thirty miles before giving up.
When Zhang Liao, who had enjoyed his pursuit, returned to the river beach with hundreds of captured fine horses, the entire river bank had turned into a sea of ??joy.
On the beach, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and his more than two thousand infantrymen waved their swords and guns, picked up the helmets and flags dropped by the enemy, and shouted excitedly.
The officers and soldiers of the Chu army on the Yellow River warships also waved the flag of Chu and responded to their victorious comrades on the shore with the same exciting cheers.
Yan Liang stood on the bow of the boat, staring at the river bank littered with corpses, his brows showing no trace of his pride after the killing.
"Big-eared thief, this battle should kill you until your body hurts. I don't think you dare to harass me again to destroy Cao Cao." Yan Liang snorted coldly, raised his whip and said: "Send the order to the whole army, go back to Luoyang, follow me Wang takes Luoyang!"
The red flag is waving. The victorious armies on the shore, carrying captured war horses, flags, drums and other trophies, left one after another in small boats. Returned to the big boat on the Yellow River.
Dozens of warships, with sails hoisted high, sailed upstream and headed towards Xiaopingjin with pride.
Yan Liang commanded the victorious army and marched away. More than seventy miles away on the north bank, Zhang Xiu was licking his wounds.
The defeated Zhang Xiu. He fled to Dangyin City, seventy miles north of Liyang. After finding out that the Chu cavalry had withdrawn its troops, the Chu army did not take the opportunity to attack Liyang. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiu planned to lose 1,700 heavy cavalry and more than 1,000 light cavalry. After this battle. Ten thousand elite cavalry. About a third of the strength was lost.
Zhang Xiu, who suffered a heavy defeat, no longer dared to lead his army to the river bank to monitor the Chu army. He had to garrison Danyin while sending flying horses to Yecheng to report the defeat to Liu Bei.
Eighty miles away, Yecheng.
In the palace, Liu Bei and his important ministers were discussing the ongoing war.
The atmosphere in the hall. It has become very easy compared to the beginning.
Zhang Xiu's headquarters in the south. Successful reports kept coming. In just a few days, Zhang Xiu surrounded and killed thousands of Chu soldiers who had washed up on the river beach, and seized more than 100,000 bushels of grain and grass.
Without even a single battle, Zhang Xiu achieved such a result without losing almost a single soldier. How could this not make Liu Bei happy?
"The Yan thief wanted to take Luoyang, so I harassed his supply lines wantonly, leaving his hundreds of thousands of troops trapped and dead in Luoyang." Liu Bei stroked his short beard with a look of gloating on his face.
Sima Yi smiled faintly and said: "Cao Cao has led his army into Hangu Pass now. The Yan thieves have been unable to attack Luoyang for a long time, and the supply lines have been repeatedly destroyed by our army. It will not take long before our army will be exhausted. By that time, our army will take advantage of the opportunity and move south in a large scale." , we will definitely defeat the Yan thief.¡±
Sima Yi looked confident and thought about the blueprint to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked more and more proud and couldn't help laughing.
Zhuge Liang on the other side looked at Liu Bei and Sima Yi's harmonious appearance, but a trace of jealousy quietly passed between his eyebrows.
At this time, the soldiers outside the palace hurriedly came in and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Dangyin is urgently reporting. General Zhang and the Chu army were defeated the day before yesterday. Now they have retreated to Dangyin. Please tell me."
Zhang Xiu was defeated!
This shocking news shattered the pride on Liu Bei's face in an instant, and his gray face was frozen in a moment of shock.
Sima Yi¡¯s expression also changed in shock, as if he couldn¡¯t believe his ears, and all his confidence suddenly collapsed.
On the contrary, Zhuge Liang had a hint of secret joy in his eyes, as if Zhang Xiu's defeat was just what he wanted.
But on the surface, Zhuge Liang pretended to be surprised and said hurriedly: "Zhang Xiu unified thousands of elite cavalry, how could he be defeated by the Chu army?"
What Zhuge Liang asked was exactly what made Liu Bei and Sima Yi suspicious.
Logically speaking, if this is a small Chu army, Zhang Xiu¡¯s 10,000 cavalry would be enough to defeat them."If the Chu army's main force lands ashore, Zhang Xiu should wait for the enemy halfway across the river. When the camp is not stable, he will overwhelm his previous troops and prevent his army from landing.
Looking at it this way, no matter how many enemies there are, Zhang Xiu's cavalry should be invincible.
However, why did Zhang Xiujun lose to the Chu army?
And it was a huge defeat.
The soldiers were busy delivering the urgent report from Zhang Xiu's personal letter.
Liu Bei and his two counselors looked at it and realized that Yan Liang had set up a strange car formation. It was using this formation to induce Zhang Xiu to launch a large-scale attack, but they killed Zhang Xiu by surprise, causing him to return defeated. .
Liu Bei just suddenly realized it, and immediately became confused again, and said in surprise: "What kind of chariot formation did Yan Thief put up? He was able to defeat my ten thousand fine cavalry with two thousand infantry. This this is incredible."
In surprise, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang: "Commander Kong Ming, you are proficient in formations, do you know that there is such a powerful chariot formation in the world?"
"This Forgive Liang's ignorance, but Liang really can't think of any chariot formation that can allow two thousand cavalry to defeat ten thousand cavalry on the plain." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look ashamed.
Even Zhuge Liang, who was proficient in formations, couldn't figure out what formation Yan Liang had set up, which shocked Liu Bei even more.
"You thief, I didn't expect him to have such a skill. How hateful." Liu Bei was shocked and hateful, gritting his teeth.
Sima Yi was also sweating on his forehead, and for a moment he didn¡¯t know how to respond.
Looking at Sima Yi's embarrassed expression, the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth raised slightly, and a trace of sarcastic sneer passed over him.
Immediately, Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Yan bandits have such a powerful chariot formation. Liang thinks that it is impossible for us to continue to harass the Yellow River grain road. Instead of losing soldiers, Liang thinks that your Majesty, why not adapt to the situation?" , it¡¯s time to change the strategy.¡±
Change strategy?
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and hope suddenly filled his eyes, and he hurriedly asked: "Commander, please tell me, where should I change my strategy?"
Zhuge Liang then said slowly: "Liang thought that the king should ignore the south for the time being and let the two dogs Cao Cao and Yan Liang bite each other. The king should take the opportunity to send troops to the north to regain Liaodong and eliminate the future troubles in one fell swoop. At that time, the two thieves Cao and Yan must have Both sides have been defeated. Your Majesty will lead the victorious army again to cross the Yellow River to collect fishing profits. Isn't it possible to kill two birds with one stone?"
Sima Yi frowned, secretly thinking that Zhuge Liang was deliberately confronting him. He suggested that Liu Bei focus on Henan, but Zhuge Liang wanted to draw Liu Bei's attention elsewhere.
However, Zhuge Liang seized the opportunity very well. Zhang Xiu's defeat had caused Liu Bei to lose confidence in harassing Yan Liang's supply line.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately lowered his eyebrows and began to think deeply.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei nodded and said: "The military advisor is right. The Chu thieves in Liaodong are a hidden danger after all. If I don't get rid of them, how can I go south to compete with the Yan thieves with peace of mind? Okay, that's it. Let's move on. Send troops north to wipe out Liaodong!"
Liu Bei made a prompt decision and made the decision simply.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhuge Liang hurriedly praised him, and when he spoke, he glanced at Sima Yi secretly.
Sima Yi frowned and felt unhappy for a while, but he had nothing to say and could only acquiesce in Liu Bei's decision.
¡¡
At sunset, Yan Liang led his victorious army and returned to Luoyang with the news of defeating the enemy's cavalry.
Soon, all the soldiers on the front line in Luoyang learned that their powerful king had defeated 10,000 Yan cavalry with more than 2,000 infantry.
With such a huge disparity in strength, this almost miraculous victory was like injecting a shot of force into the soldiers of the Chu army who had lost their vigor, once again boosting the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies were all inspired by it, and they all worked bravely and roused their spirits to attack Luoyang.
In the following days, Yan Liang also received a report from the Yellow River grain road, saying that Zhang Xiu's army had returned to Yecheng and never dared to approach the north bank of the Yellow River to harass the Chu army's grain fleet.
In addition to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Fei's troops on the south bank and the Yan troops on both sides of the Yellow River also retreated to the cities along the coast, and no soldiers appeared on both sides of the Yellow River.
"It seems that the King's victory over the Moon Formation has really hurt the big-eared thief, so that he no longer dares to disturb our food routes. In this way, our army of 100,000 in Luoyang will have no worries." Pang Tong smiled. Hehe sighed.
Yan Liang was not as optimistic as Pang Tong, and he simply said: "I started a war with the Cao thieves. With the insidiousness of the big-eared thieves, how could I not want to take advantage of the opportunity? Even though we have suffered a big defeat, I will not be able to win."The king expected that the big-eared thief would think of other means to continue causing trouble to the king. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Cang hurriedly entered, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am reporting urgently from Ye City. Liu Bei has personally led his army to leave Ye City and go north to Youzhou a few days ago to attack us in Liaodong Province. county."
This news suddenly made the optimistic atmosphere in the bank become tense.
"It's just as expected." Yan Liang snorted coldly.
Pang Tong frowned and said: "It seems that the big-eared thieves want to take advantage of my main force to contain the Cao thieves, and want to take the opportunity to attack Liaodong with all their strength and relieve their worries. This time, Lu Ziming and the others must be under a lot of pressure."
Both the civil and military officials on the left and right became wary.
Yan Liang disagreed and said: "Our great Chu soldiers are all fighting bloody battles. How can we let Lu Meng and the others survive alone? It's time for them to share some of the burden for me. Pass the order to Lu Meng, and I order him to pay for it at all costs." I will defend Liaodong, otherwise there is no need to come back to see me, I can just jump into the sea."
"Stern Yan Liang, this is a death order.
The spirits of the civil and military officials on the left and right suddenly became solemn.
At this time, Yan Liang looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "You all cheer up for me. From tomorrow on, I will attack Luoyang day and night. I will not stop until Luoyang is reached!" (Unfinished) to be continued¡¡) - Didn't finish reading?
