- The east is white, and the sky is about to become bright.
The Chu army on the front line of Baimajin began to get busy taking advantage of the unclear sky.
Hundreds of warships have raised their sails, and hundreds of soldiers are boarding the ships in an orderly manner. A battle across the river is about to begin.
The movements of the Chu army in Baimajin on the south bank are always under the surveillance of Han Xizao. As soon as the Chu army makes a move, Xizao pretends to be a fisherman and sends the information to the north bank.
The patrol on the north bank quickly led the Pegasus to Liyang City a few miles away, and then went to report to Guan Yu.
At this time, Guan Yu had gotten up early in the morning as usual and was preparing to patrol the city defense. At this time, the scouts sent an urgent message.
"Yan Liang's army has not yet been assembled, and he is in a hurry to cross the river. How many bandits are crossing the river?" Guan Yu asked in surprise.
"General, there are about 70,000 Chu troops in Baimajin, and there are about 20,000 Chu troops crossing the river." the scout replied.
Guan Yu's expression moved slightly, and there was some deep meaning in his eyes, as if he had thought of something in his mind.
At this time, the two generals Guan Xing and Guan Suo also came after hearing the news, as well as Chen Qun, the servant who was accompanying the army.
As soon as Guan Xing entered the door, he said excitedly: "Commander Father, I heard that the Yan bandits want to cross the Yellow River before they gather. This is a great opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation and attack them halfway across the river."
"Please lead an army out of the city and annihilate all the enemies who land." Guan Suo also excitedly asked for a fight.
Guan Yu's red face was filled with murderous intent.
"General Hussar, your majesty has given us the order. It is to hold on to Liyang City and not to fight the Chu army. I think our army should not go to war." Chen Qun expressed his objection.
Guan Yu frowned slightly. A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Guan Yu knew that Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with his performance in Xuzhou a few years ago, and he had always kept it in mind. Although he was now ordered to guard Liyang, he was still worried, so he sent Chen Qun to "assist" him.
??Chen Qun¡¯s name is to assist him, in fact. But he wanted to supervise Guan Yu.
Before Guan Yu could speak, Guan Xing said: "If the Chu bandits cross the Yellow River with an army of 200,000 men, we should hold on and not fight. But now the Yan bandits want to cross the Yellow River with 70,000 troops. How can our army not catch them?" This opportunity will severely injure the enemy thieves and boost the morale of our Han army."
"Although the young general's words are reasonable. However, His Majesty's will must be obeyed." Chen Qun did not argue with Guan Xing and directly used the imperial edict to suppress him.
At this time, Guan Suo said: "If you have the right, you will be outside, and you will not grant your orders. Since my father is in charge of Li Yang's army, he has the power to act according to the situation. Now if you miss the good opportunity to defeat the enemy, your majesty will blame you. On the contrary, It¡¯s my father who is handsome, isn¡¯t it?¡±
Chen Qun didn¡¯t want Guan Yu¡¯s two sons to be fierce. Moreover, he was so sharp-tongued that he actually choked himself with a few words of truth.
"But¡¡"
Chen Qun was still trying to persuade him, but Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Shizhong Chen, there is no need to say more. The Yan thieves dared to cross the river before the army was gathered. They are obviously confident and don't take me seriously. If I don't teach him a lesson, I will The morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies will be depleted if we don¡¯t fight.¡±
As soon as Guan Yu said this, Chen Qun knew that the first general of the Han Dynasty was determined to go to war.
Chen Qun also knew that Guan Yu had always been the kind of arrogant person. Once he had made a decision, no one could dissuade him unless Liu Bei personally issued an order to stop it.
Chen Qun had no choice but to shut up, sighing secretly in his heart.
Guan Yu immediately issued a military order, ordering Guan Xing to lead 7,000 infantry and Guan Suo to lead 3,000 cavalry out of the city and headed straight to the north bank of the Yellow River. When they saw the Chu army halfway across the river, they sent troops to attack them.
The two young generals of the Guan family took the order and excitedly led their troops out of the city and headed straight for the river bank several miles away.
At dawn, at Baimajin, more than 20,000 forward soldiers boarded the boat, and the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers also gathered on the shore, waiting for the next round of boat crossing.
Because the beachhead available for landing on the north bank is limited and cannot accommodate 70,000 troops to cross the river at the same time, the Chu army can only cross the river in batches.
The 20,000 Chinese troops led by Deng Ai were tasked with seizing the beachhead and covering the subsequent army's crossing of the river.
The soldiers had been gathered, and Yan Liang rode his horse to the trestle to cheer for Deng Ai himself.
"Father, I must do my best to go here. However, our army is limited in the number of troops that can land ashore at one time. I am only afraid that the Han army will cross the border to stop the attack." Although Deng Ai was excited to be the vanguard to fight, he was not sure whether he could land ashore. Shore is successful, but a little worried.
After all, there were only 20,000 troops crossing the river at one time. Even if the Han army sent only 5,000 troops, it would be a great obstacle to him.?.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Young general, just cross the river. Your Majesty has his own arrangements."
Listening to Pang Tong¡¯s tone, it seems that Yan Liang has another plan.
Yan Liang also smiled and said nothing, looking confident.
Deng Ai now felt confident, so he resigned and went straight to the warship.
Deng Ai, who boarded the warship, raised his gun and pointed to the north, shouting: "Sail the ship, the whole army is dispatched~~"
After the order was passed, hundreds of transport ships slowly left the shore, and under the shining of the morning light, they sailed toward the north shore in a mighty manner.
Yan Liang raised his head and looked into the distance, watching the warships go away one after another.
When the fleet reached the middle of the river, Pang Tong raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time. It's time to send a signal to the Hussars General."
"Yeah." Yan Liang nodded slightly and raised his hand to indicate.
Hu Che'er behind him understood and immediately galloped away.
Yan Liang's eyes crossed the surging Yellow River to the other side, and he said coldly: "Guan Yu, it's time to settle all the old and new grudges we have had since White Horse."
¡¡
On the north bank, the ten thousand cavalry led by the Guan brothers have reached the river bank.
The two brothers were not in a hurry to show off their troops and horses. Instead, they lined up their troops and horses a mile away. They rode their horses and led dozens of riders to the beach to watch the enemy.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the distance, we saw hundreds of large and small ships sailing out from the south bank in the direction of Baimajin, forming a formation that stretched for several miles, heading towards the north bank in the due north direction.
After watching the enemy for a moment, Guan Xing said excitedly: "Looking at this formation, the Chu thieves can only be 20,000 at most. Third brother, the time has come for you and me to kill the enemy and serve the country."
"This is the day I've been waiting for. Second brother, let's move all the soldiers and horses to the river beach. When the enemy ship approaches, shoot it with strong bows and crossbows to see how he can get ashore." Guan Suo was also very excited.
Guan Xing shook his head and said: "Although strong bows and crossbows can prevent the enemy from landing, if the Chu army is frustrated, they will definitely overcome the difficulties. We can only cause minor damage to the enemy, but it is not enough to severely damage the enemy thieves."
"Then according to the second brother's opinion, what should we do?" Guan Suo asked.
Guan Xing thought for a moment and sneered: "Let's do it this way. I will lead the infantry to line up on the shore and pretend to block the enemy. When the enemy approaches, I will pretend to be defeated. I will retreat a little and let the enemy land. Wait. When the foothold is not stable, third brother, you and your cavalry suddenly attack from the flank. If we attack from both sides, we will definitely annihilate all the enemies who land on the beach. "
When Guan Suo heard this, he couldn't help being very excited and praised: "Second brother's plan is really clever. Okay, let's do it like this. We brothers will join hands to severely dampen the spirit of that thief and let him know that we care about him." The family is great.¡±
The two brothers made some plans and spoke generously, and then they divided their forces and left.
Immediately, Guan Suo led three thousand cavalry, retreated slightly, and lay down on the northeast side of the beach.
Guan Xing then led 7,000 infantry troops and lined up on the river beach, making a gesture of blocking the Chu army to the death and not allowing the Chu army to land.
At this moment, hundreds of ships of the Chu army had arrived at the middle of the river.
At this time, it was the end of autumn, and the water level of the Yellow River had greatly reduced. Although the Liyang area was a ferry, the water was much stronger than the Yangtze River.
The large warships of the Chu army were not conducive to fighting in this waters, so the hundreds of ships crossing the river were mostly modified small warships.
Deng Ai stood on the bow of the boat, holding on to the side of the boat, looking at the situation on the shore from a distance. The formation of the Han army arrayed on the river beach came into his eyes clearly.
"This must be a fierce battle." Deng Ai frowned and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum, let the whole army go ashore."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The thundering drums sounded, drowning out the sound of the surging water. Encouraged by the drums, hundreds of ships accelerated towards the other shore.
In the blink of an eye, the fleet has approached the shore nearly 200 steps away.
At this time, the war drums of the Han army on the river bank were also rising. Guan Xing gave an order, and more than a thousand sharp arrows roared out, overwhelmingly attacking the Chu army on the boat.
"Raise your shield and avoid the arrows!" Deng Ai shouted.
The pro-army troops on the left and right quickly raised their large shields to protect Deng Ai.
At the same moment, the Chu soldiers on each ship raised the wooden shields in their hands and squatted down as much as possible to avoid the incoming arrows.
Puff puff!
Arrows rained down like rain, and screams suddenly broke out.
Although most of the Chu soldiers blocked the enemy arrows with their hand shields, there were still many arrows that passed through the gaps and hit the Chu soldiers.
After withstanding several rounds of crossbow attacks, the Chu army¡¯s fleet has sailedAt a distance of more than a hundred steps, this distance is the best time to shoot with a bow.
Sure enough, the buzzing above their heads suddenly increased, and the Han army's bows and crossbows fired in unison. Nearly three thousand arrows were fired at them like locusts.
Under such crazy shooting, the Chu army¡¯s casualties also doubled.
The waves in the river were surging, the boat was rocking, and arrows were raining down from above. The Chu army had already encountered great resistance before they even landed on the shore.
The fierceness of the Han army's blocking attack was beyond Deng Ai's imagination.
"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy, and they will be killed by my general and come ashore!" Deng Ai shouted loudly despite the rain of arrows.
After paying nearly 700 casualties, the Chu fleet finally approached the shore.
At this time, a sneer appeared on the corner of Guan Xing's mouth, and he immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army retreats, and let the Chu thieves come ashore."
With the sound of gold ringing, the seven thousand Han troops retreated hurriedly and retreated from the river beach as if they were defeated.
As soon as the Han army retreated, the pressure on the Chu army dropped sharply, and the soldiers could raise their heads, and their morale greatly increased.
Deng Ai, on the other hand, became suspicious, secretly wondering why the Han army had to go to the beach calmly even though they clearly had the advantage. He vaguely felt that there must be a fraud involved.
However, Deng Ai, who was suspicious, did not order to stop the landing, but still urged the army to move forward.
The boat was moving very fast, and it almost hit the river beach in a blink of an eye.
"Father, I believe you." Deng Ai gritted his teeth, held a silver gun, and jumped onto the beach first. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
