South Emergency?

To the south, Zang Ba was guarding to resist Yuan Shu's main force and prevent it from attacking Haixi and threatening the flank of the main battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The pottery merchant looked down on Yuan Shu, the second ancestor, with the fame of the Yuan family, he could pull out an army wherever he went, but he couldn't beat Liu Biao first, and then he couldn't beat Cao Cao, and then even Liu Bei could be defeated, which was really a rice bucket, but it was only by relying on him and Lu Bu to join forces against Liu that he picked up a cheap and took the opportunity to take Guangling County.

The scout then sent an urgent report from Zang Ba, and the Tao will come out.

It turned out that after Yuan Shu received Lu Bu's invitation, he couldn't resist the temptation of cutting the land, and wanted to take the opportunity to insert his power into the hinterland of Xuzhou, so after learning that the main force of the pottery merchants was confronting Lu Bu, he raised an army of 20,000 troops from Huaishui to the north and launched a powerful offensive against Haixi City.

Although Yuan Shu's Huainan army had average combat effectiveness, it was nearly seven times larger than the Haixi defenders, and had a huge advantage in numbers.

Yuan Shu originally thought that with his absolute superiority in strength, it would be enough to deal with a mere Taishan thief, and it would be no problem to take Haixi.

It's a pity that he underestimated Zang Ba.

In the face of a tenfold strong enemy, Zang Ba had no fear at all, with 3,000 Taishan soldiers, he used various means to steadily withstand several fierce attacks of the Huainan army, ensuring that Haixi City was not lost.

At this time, the strategist Yang Hong offered advice to Yuan Shu, divided a group of soldiers and horses to bypass the Haixi defense line, landed in Qu County, and after taking Qu County, he took Tancheng directly, and took the old nest of the pottery merchant in one fell swoop.

For this strategy, Yuan Shu, who was distressed, naturally brightened his eyes and immediately decided to adopt it.

And his eldest son Yuan Yao volunteered, Yuan Shu then ordered Yuan Yao to be the main general, Ji Ling as the deputy general, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to go to sea by boat to attack Qu County.

Zang Ba was densely packed with fine works on the front line of the western part of the Haixi, and as soon as Yuan Yao's department moved, Zang Ba saw his intentions, and immediately sent people to report to the pottery merchant with an expedited horse of 800 miles.

After listening to the scout's report, the potter's sword eyebrows were already condensed.

At present, his army has been divided into three ways to deal with the enemy of three roads, not to mention Qu County, even if it is the base camp, there are not many soldiers and horses left, and if the Huainan army really wants to divide its troops to attack Tancheng by sea, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even if Tancheng is not lost, but Qu County is lost, the blow to the pottery merchants is not small, because Qu County is the hometown of the Mi family, and the current soldiers, horses, money and grain of the pottery merchants are all taken care of by the Mi family, and they are transferred from Qu County to Tancheng, and then transported to the front line.

If Qu County is lost, it is equivalent to the pottery merchant's grain and grass being cut off, and then there will be a catastrophe of the whole army crushing without a fight.

"Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, it seems that I underestimate you a little, and you are not exactly an incompetent person......"

The potter secretly sighed in his heart, he really didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be able to use the trick of going out to sea to attack Tancheng, which also made the potter realize that those who can have a place in this troubled world can never have a little ability, although Yuan Shu is useless, but it is only relative to a strong man like Cao Cao, which does not mean that he himself has nothing to do.

The generals on the left and right had fallen silent, and the excitement of the victory added a bit of solemnity.

The potter looked around at everyone: "Yuan Shu still has some ability, and he will attack our rear from the sea, what is the countermeasure?" ”

All the generals were worried, and there seemed to be nothing they could do for a while.

The potter turned his gaze to Chen Ping, the drunkard who never left his hand from the beginning to the end.

Now he was holding the wine gourd alof, his mouth open to the boss, and he was struggling to pour out the few drops that were left in it, and he was not willing to pay for a single drop.

"The Lord has just asked you a word, and you drink a bird." Fan Xu looked unhappy, and opened his wine gourd.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, Fang Shi was half drunk and half awake, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shu dares to use such a strange strategy, but it is quite unexpected, now we are confronting Lu Bu, once we divide the troops to save Qu County, the situation of the camp will be unfavorable, if you don't save it, the consequences will be more serious, and the situation is really a bit tricky." ”

He said this as if he didn't say it, this kind of pros and cons the potter had already seen clearly, so why did he need to talk nonsense, so he glared at him.

"However, Zhang Xun has been captured alive, Lu Bu's purpose of killing people with a knife is successful, and there is every reason to press on it and attack while our army is tired, but he didn't, but retreated, why is this......"

Chen Ping's eyes narrowed into a line, as if he was asking the potter, and as if he was asking himself.

The potter heard what he said, his mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he figured out the mystery.

The secret lies in the fact that Lu Bu wants to preserve his strength as much as possible.

If Lu Bu attacked strongly, even if he could destroy the potter, it would inevitably be a crushing victory with heavy losses.

At this time, Xu Sheng in the north and Zang Ba in the south, after hearing that the main force of the pottery merchants had fallen, would inevitably choose to surrender to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shu.

In this way, Er Yuan will not waste his efforts and easily enter the hinterland of Xuzhou, at that time, he Lu Bu will face the army of Er Yuan with almost no losses with a miserable victory.

Therefore, Lu Bu did not dare to launch a strong attack on the potters easily, he must have wanted to borrow the second Yuan to break the flank of the potters first, and then take advantage of the situation to break it in one fell swoop when his army was in turmoil.

In this way, he can minimize the loss of troops and generals, and only then can he have the strength to drive Er Yuan's forces out of Xuzhou again.

"Lu Bu, everyone says that you are brave and unscrupulous, I think you are very deceitful, but your deceit has helped me ......"

The potter's condensed brows gradually relaxed, and in his knife-like eyes, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and the murderous aura faintly burst out, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest.

The veteran Lian Po is far more resourceful than Fan Xu, and he has heard some ways from Chen Ping's words, and then seeing the change in the potter's face, he suddenly realized in his heart, "Lord, do you want to ......?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of the pottery merchant's mouth, and he said fiercely: "Since Yuan Shu has a miraculous strategy, and Lu Bu also likes to reap fishing profits so much, then I will give them a big surprise." ”

……

In the early morning, on the east coast of Qu County, 5,000 Huainan troops landed on the shore, murderous, and advanced to the east of Qu County.

Endless flags, like lang waves, rolling endlessly, and the sharp blades of guns and halberds pointed straight to the sky, almost wanting to reflect the cold of the sky.

The big banner with the word "Yuan", under the blowing of the sea breeze, made the sound of hunting, and flew with great power.

At the front of the army, Yuan Yao was wearing silver armor, holding a long sword, and stared coldly at the nearby city, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

As his father Yuan Shu judged, the main force of the potters was pinned down by Lü Bu and did not dare to divide his troops to stop it, so he led an army of 5,000 to land from the sea and smoothly approached Qucheng, encountering almost no resistance.

Now, what Yuan Yao needs to do is to capture Qucheng, and then the army will take Tancheng directly and take the pottery merchant's lair.

"As long as Tancheng is taken, Xuzhou will be our Yuan family, and Lu Bu's three slaves want to borrow our hands to take Xuzhou, but they don't want to be used by our Yuan family. My father has always liked the second brother in recent years, and now I have made great contributions to help my father win Xuzhou, and the position of the heir of my Yuan family is naturally as stable as Mount Tai......"

Yuan Yaochang thought about the blueprint, the corners of his mouth quietly swept a trace of pride, he couldn't wait to take Qu County, and immediately ordered the deputy general Ji Ling to lead the whole army of 5,000 to press and eat Qu County in one go.

In order to boost morale, Yuan Yao also made a promise that as long as he broke through Qu County, he would allow the soldiers to loot for one night, and the money and women would be allowed to plunder them.

Yuan Shujun's military discipline is notoriously poor, wherever he goes, it is like a locust crossing the border, leaving no grass behind, if he wants to inspire such an army to fight, it is impossible to rely on orders and discipline, only by burning, killing and looting, giving them enough benefits, can they make them work hard.

As soon as this order was passed down, the five thousand Huainan troops immediately rejoiced and thundered, all of them were murderous, like countless wild beasts, and they couldn't wait to break through the city and eat the lambs in the city.

As the actual commander of this army, he keenly felt that Yuan Yao's order was a bit too hasty, so he rushed over and suggested to Yuan Yao not to attack in a hurry, it was better to set up camp, and then send scouts to reconnoiter the military situation in the vicinity of thirty miles, and then attack the city not too late.

"The potter was pinned down by Lu Bu, how could he have drawn out troops and horses to save Qu County, besides, even if he sent troops to come, he should have stopped us from landing on the seashore a long time ago, how could he let us land smoothly." Yuan Yao looked a little dissatisfied with Ji Ling's questioning of his military orders.

"But the eldest prince, the last general thinks it's still ......"

Ji Ling wanted to persuade again, but Yuan Yao was no longer annoyed, and waved his hand, "This battle is the main general, you are the deputy general, I have made up my mind, you just need to obey the order, where are there so many questions." ”

Ji Ling's face changed slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to turn his horse away and order the army to attack the city.

The horn sounded, and the 5,000 Huainan troops lined up, forming an attack posture from east to west against Qu County.

The sound of drums shook the sky, overshadowing the surging sound of the tide, and the large and small Huainan army formations began to advance towards Qu County.

A siege battle without suspense is about to begin.

Suddenly, behind the Huainan Army, a cloud of dust and mist rose along the coastline and struck towards this side.

At first, Yuan Yao didn't pay attention, but when the dust was getting closer and closer, and the ground faintly felt the rumbling vibration, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

Just as Yuan Yao was about to send scouts to investigate, the dust and mist were approaching in an instant, and a raging cavalry crashed out of the dust, like a ghost soldier coming out of the underworld.

On the black flag, the word "pottery" was embroidered.

The pottery merchant personally led the iron cavalry to kill.

Yuan Yao's face changed suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, and blurted out: "Potter!?" Didn't he confront Lu Bu in Yishui, how could he appear on the beach? ”

Under the exclamation, Yuan Yao's thoughts flew and he suddenly woke up.

He never imagined that the pottery merchant would dare to take the risk of Lu Bu taking the opportunity to attack, and personally draw out the elite cavalry and rush to Qu County to raid him.

The reason why the potter did not set up a formation on the shore was because he did not bring infantry, only 500 cavalry, and this strength alone could not prevent the 5,000 Huainan army from landing on the shore.

Therefore, the pottery merchant deliberately let Yuan Yao land on the shore, so that he could concentrate all his forces to attack Qu County without warning, and at this time, the pottery merchant could lead the cavalry to approach the coastline without knowing it, and attack Yuan Yao from behind.

In the wilderness, the infantry exposed their unprotected backs to the cavalry, which was the deadliest danger.

Yuan Yao, who woke up, was in a mess, and he couldn't think much about it, so he hurriedly shouted loudly and ordered the whole army to turn around and form a formation to meet the Tao cavalry.

It's just that the military formation has been formed, and in this haste, how can they turn around and change the formation in a moment, the soldiers pushed each other instead, making the formation fall into chaos in a short period of time.

A short moment of chaos is enough to kill.

Five hundred iron horsemen, like a raging storm, have been killed in the blink of an eye.
