- ps: It¡¯s Monday, please vote.
Yan Liang was determined and without any further hesitation, he immediately marched north with an army of 250,000 troops towards Yishui.
The Chu army marched north and set up camps at various locations along the ten-mile stretch on the south bank of the Yishui River, opposite Yijing.
Although Yan Liang was confident, he was very clear-headed and did not use his troops out of anger. He made an impulsive decision to cross the river in a large scale.
After all, Liu Bei had Wuhuan's 50,000 cavalry. Once he crossed the river in large numbers, Wuhuan's cavalry only had to wait for him to cross the river and attack him, and the Chu army would suffer heavy losses.
Yan Liang is the kind of monarch who never lets his soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices.
After three days of confrontation, Yan Liang, under Fazheng's suggestion, built a large raft on the south bank of Yishui River, pretending to be crossing the river, but secretly ordered Gan Ning to lead 10,000 troops to the bank of Yun County in the lower reaches of Yishui River. Make a tentative stowaway.
Gan Ning, who had not shown his power on the main battlefield for a long time, received the order and led more than 10,000 elite troops at night, heading straight downstream.
It¡¯s late at night in Yijing, North Bank.
Liu Bei was sleeping soundly in his palace, hiding in Liu's gentle home, but was awakened by Zhuge Liang's urgent request to see him.
Liu Bei could only put on his shirt and dragged his sleeping body out of the outer hall to meet him.
"Your Majesty, a secret report came back from the south bank. There was a group of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Chu camp. After nightfall, they quietly left the camp and swam down the Yishui River." Zhuge Liang in the wheelchair said with cupped hands.
The sleepiness on Liu Bei's face was instantly driven away, and his nerves immediately became tense.
"The thief Yan sent troops downstream, what does he want to do?" Liu Bei asked nervously.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "Although the river bank where Yijing is located is the easiest to cross, the Yishui River is not the only crossing. I thought Yan Thief sent his troops downstream. He probably wanted to sneak across the river bank from the Yunxian area downstream. ¡±
"This must be the case, then what should we do?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, your majesty. I believe that your majesty will order the Wuhuan cavalry to set off immediately and rush downstream at starry night. If they see the Chu army crossing the river, they will attack them immediately."
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and hurriedly sent someone to invite Wuhuan Shanyu Taton.
Nataton is currently in the camp, sleeping soundly with his arms around the kidnapped Han woman. After being disturbed by the erotic dream, he came to the palace with curses all the way.
With a smile on his face, Liu Bei explained the military situation to Taodun, and politely asked Taodun to send Wuhuan troops.
Although Tadun has a bad attitude, now that the conditions have been negotiated. He kept his promise and was willing to obey Liu Bei's orders.
At that moment, Taodun sent Wuhuan Qiao Wang Nanlou and led 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry, setting off at starry night and heading straight downstream.
¡¡
During the time of the people, the Wuhuan cavalry led by Nanlou. We rushed to the Fangcheng area downstream, and on the other side of Fangcheng was Yun County, a city on the south bank.
At this time, Gan Ning arrived an hour earlier. He was urging his soldiers to cross the Yishui River on rough rafts.
On the north bank of Yishui River, more than two hundred Chu soldiers have just landed. They are hurriedly forming a formation to cover the large corps behind them.
Easy to water. Five hundred riflemen are on their way across the river. As long as the riflemen can land smoothly, they can rely on the super power of Yuanrong's rifle to build an indestructible beachhead.
"General, look, the dust and fog are rising in the west, it must be the cavalry of the Han Dynasty!" A sharp-eyed soldier was the first to discover the enemy's situation.
Gan Ning stood at the head of the raft and looked into the distance. Sure enough, in the rolling dust and mist, countless cavalry were rushing towards this side.
The Wuhuan cavalry must be the Wuhuan cavalry!
"Your Majesty is indeed very good at predicting events. The Han army's vigilance is very tight and they are following you so quickly"
Gan Ning frowned secretly and loudly ordered the rafts to row faster, trying to form an effective formation on the beach before the Wuhuan cavalry arrived.
It¡¯s a pity that the Chu army was still half a beat too late.
The Wuhuan cavalry galloped like the wind and reached the shore in a moment. Nananlou saw that the Chu army had not formed a formation and there were only a few hundred infantry on the beach, so he immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
"Warriors of Wuhuan, follow Wang Chong and kill all the Chu soldiers~~" Nanlou Beast roared and charged forward with its mace in hand.
Ten thousand Wuhuan cavalry shouted Hulu's unique slogans and surged down from the slope of the north bank towards the Chu army on the river beach.
In a moment, the Wuhuan cavalry arrived.
Amidst the screams, hundreds of Chu troops who hadtily formed a formation and were not equipped with Yuanrong's crossbows were instantly overwhelmed by Wuhuan's cavalry, and the beach was suddenly stained with blood.
Two hundred Chu soldiers,Although they were all elite soldiers, how could they withstand the crushing force of ten thousand cavalry? Although they tried their best, they could only die on the river bank.
Gan Ning, who was still dozens of steps away from the shore on Yishui River, clenched his fists with hatred when he saw such a scene.
After being resentful for a long time, Gan Ning shouted sternly: "Ming Jin, the whole army stopped crossing the river and retreated to the south bank."
The beach position could not be formed, and the Wuhuan cavalry had already arrived. If they tried to cross the river by force, they would only lose their soldiers.
Gan Ning was ordered to make a tentative crossing of the river. Now that the situation was unfavorable, he naturally had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Dang Dang Dang¡ª¡ª
With a sudden golden sound, hundreds of rafts immediately turned around and rowed back towards the south bank.
The Wuhuan cavalry gathered on the river beach and fired arrows at the Chu army in the water. The arrows came like locusts. Fortunately, the Chu army was prepared and equipped with a large number of shields, so they were not killed by the enemy's arrows.
Not long after, the Chu army finally returned to the south bank safely after sacrificing hundreds of soldiers.
On the north bank, Qiao Wang Nanlou danced with the mace in his hand and shouted proudly: "Thieves of Chu, you can show off your power in the south, but when you come to Youzhou of our Wuhuan people, you are simply asking for death, haha ~~¡±
The Wuhuan knights were all proud and arrogant, dancing with their swords and spears, laughing and cursing wildly, and there was a crazy noise on the north bank.
Although Gan Ning and his soldiers could not understand Wuhuan's words, they knew that it was the Hulu who were demonstrating against them. The soldiers of Chu were all filled with resentment.
Gan Ning was also gnashing his teeth in hatred. If it had been a few years ago, he might not be able to restrain his anger and would have to try to attack again.
It was different now. As a general of the Five Tigers and a pillar of the Chu Kingdom, how could he be angered by a few curses from Hu Lu.
"Hugou, don't be too proud. Sooner or later you will be like the Huns and Qiang people and pay the price for your stupidity." Gan Ning sneered. Then he ordered the whole army to retreat to the camp.
The 10,000 Chu soldiers who failed to cross the river suppressed their indignation and withdrew in an orderly manner along the Yishui River to the west camp.
On the north bank, Nanlou saw the Chu army retreating, and after showing off some force, he ordered the heads of hundreds of Chu soldiers to be beheaded, and brought flags, drums and other trophies back to the camp as a way to claim credit.
After marching for several miles, Fangcheng County not far away came into view.
"Your Majesty. The brothers have worked hard all day, so it's time to express your condolences. Fangcheng County is just around the corner, and there are many Han girls there. Why don't your Majesty take the brothers to plunder and enjoy themselves." A leader Smiling, he spoke to Nanlou.
Nanlou only hesitated for a moment, then waved and smiled: "You're right, we worked hard for Liu Bei, how can we not reward ourselves? Brothers, follow the king and sack the city, haha~"
Nanlou laughed wildly. With a rein of the horse's head, the 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry turned to defend the city, and their bestiality was revealed. They rushed towards Fangcheng.
¡¡
In the evening, Nan Lou just led his army back to the Yijing camp, and dedicated the Chu army's heads, flags and drums to Liu Bei for credit.
Liu Bei was overjoyed. Although this battle only killed and wounded a few hundred Chu troops, this was the first time since the war between the two countries. The rare victory he achieved was enough to make Liu Bei ecstatic.
Overjoyed, Liu Bei immediately ordered a large reward for Nanlou and rewarded the Wuhuan soldiers with fine wine and meat.
This group of Wuhuan soldiers received the reward and left happily. Not long after, miserable cries could be heard in the Wuhuan camp.
Liu Bei turned a blind eye and held a banquet in the palace to celebrate this rare victory. During the dinner, he praised Zhuge Liang and praised his wisdom.
Zhuge Liang didn¡¯t know that this was just a tentative river crossing by Yan Liang, and the failure was already expected.
After many failed strategies, Zhuge Liang almost lost confidence in his own resourcefulness. This small victory made him regain his confidence, and a rare trace of pride appeared on his face.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu came to see him angrily with a livid face.
"Your Majesty, just now news came from Fangcheng. On the way back to camp, Nanlou looted Fangcheng County, plundered all the money of the people in the city, and snatched hundreds of girls. Now he is raping and humiliating him wantonly in the camp. , please make an order to punish this evil thief."
Full of indignation, Zhang Xiu reported the bad news to Liu Bei.
After hearing this, Liu Bei also changed his color slightly and looked sullen. These Wuhuan people are too ridiculous. They were rewarded with money, rice and meat, but they didn't think it was enough. They went to rob their own people. This was too disrespectful to themselves.
Snapped!
Liu Bei slapped the case fiercely, and said angrily: "This Nanlou is really too much, how dare you"However, it is really abominable to rob my people. "
In anger, Liu Bei wanted to issue an order to punish Nanlou on the spot.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't be impulsive and ruin things." Zhuge Liang quickly persuaded Liu Bei and stopped him.
Liu Bei was shocked and his anger subsided.
Zhuge Liang advised: "Hu people have a generous temperament. Under such a great victory, it is inevitable to do such an outrageous thing. Now is the time for your majesty to employ people. If you punish Nanlou for this, it will chill the hearts of the Wuhuan people." Isn¡¯t the overall situation unfavorable? I think it¡¯s better to just turn a blind eye and close one eye.¡±
Liu Bei gradually fell silent. It was obvious that he was moved by Zhuge Liang's words.
"Your Majesty, although we are seeking Wuhuan now, can your Majesty just let the barbarians oppress and rape our Han people?" Zhang Xiu asked excitedly.
Liu Bei had a complicated expression and remained silent.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "In wars in troubled times, it is inevitable for the people to make sacrifices. After the barbarians plundered them, they will serve your Majesty even more wholeheartedly. As for the injured people, they can be regarded as doing their best for the Han Dynasty." , the sacrifice is worth it.¡±
After these words, the remaining concern on Liu Bei's face finally disappeared.
After sighing softly, Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "That's it, just pretend this never happened, and you are not allowed to mention it again."
Liu Bei still decided to turn a blind eye and close one eye to the evil deeds of the Wuhuan people.
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to keep silent, feeling secretly angry in his heart. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
