Chapter 990: Support
When Liu Zheng was puzzled, there was a sound of the hooves of a rushing war horse galloping outside the door.
Before the horse's hoofs had ceased, the men outside were heard shouting at the camp in short, hurried voices.
"Urgent! General Huang, go to the emergency! ”
Su Fei jumped off his war horse in one go, and then quickly rushed towards the camp where Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were.
Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were talking in the camp, but they were also interrupted by this urgent report outside the camp at this time.
Immediately look outside the camp.
And at this time, Su Fei happened to rush in from the outside.
As soon as he saw that Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were here, he immediately opened his mouth to Liu Zheng.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, our army was ordered to garrison outside Nanzheng City, and was besieged by Guan Yu's army, at this time General Gan Ning was in a bitter battle, please send reinforcements to support as soon as possible!"
Su Fei made a long story short because of the urgency of the matter, compressed the whole process into one sentence, and asked Liu Zheng for help.
Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong were already attracted by this urgent report from Su Fei's mouth, and they were very interested in Su Fei's words at this time.
As soon as he heard Su Fei's words, his expression immediately changed.
"Su Fei, what's going on? Didn't Gan Ning have an army of 30,000? He was stationed outside Nanzheng City, how could he be besieged by Guan Yu's soldiers and horses? ”
At this time, Su Fei didn't know about Liu Zhang, who Guan Yu united.
He only knew that Guan Yu had dispatched no less than 50,000 troops to attack Gan Ning.
Although Gan Ning has an army of 30,000, it is still very difficult to win in the face of Guan Yu's 50,000 army, at most it is to remain undefeated and confront Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.
In this way, it will drag on the time. It was very unfavorable for Liu Zheng, and their only way to win was to redeploy the tens of thousands of troops here in Xicheng to the direction of Nanzheng, so as to reinforce Gan Ning and defeat Guan Yu in one fell swoop.
After all, Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong's original plan was to defeat Guan Yu, and now Guan Yu is attacking Gan Ning, which is a great time to defeat him.
Missing this opportunity, if Guan Yu defeats Gan Ning, it will not be so easy for Liu Zheng to confront Guan Yu again, and he will even be made bigger by Guan Yu because of this.
At that time, Liu Zheng's troops stationed near Shangyong County would not be able to compete with Guan Yu.
"Your Majesty, we don't know, earlier today, the spies also said that Guan Yu's men did not make any changes, but when I went to train the soldiers and horses again in the morning, I found that tens of thousands of troops appeared outside the camp, these soldiers and horses were all under Guan Yu's men, surrounded from three directions, and it was conservatively estimated that there were no less than 50,000 people!"
Su Fei immediately explained to Liu Zheng after Liu Zheng asked.
He described in detail the embarrassment that Gan Ning was suffering at this time.
Although he was besieged by Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops, Liu Zheng still had confidence in Gan Ning.
Even if you don't lose, it's always okay to hold on for a while.
"What the hell is Guan Yu doing, I thought he would lead the soldiers and horses to attack the Meridian Grain Road and regain control of the Grain Road, who would have thought that he would not come to attack the Meridian Grain Road, but instead went to Gan Ning's 30,000 army!"
"Could it be that he was planning to break the jar?"
Guan Yu's unexpected decision made Liu Zheng somewhat unable to guess what he wanted to do.
However, since he already knew Guan Yu's current plans, it was naturally impossible for Liu Zheng to sit idly by and watch here.
He knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly ordered Su Fei.
"Su Fei, you first lead the 10,000 vanguard troops under General Huang to rush to support Gan Ning, and at the same time, I will order Lu Bu, who is stationed here, to lead 3,000 cavalry from the camp to accompany you over to support, and then I will let Huang Zhong lead the army of the headquarters to rush to the battlefield to support Gan Ning!"
Time was pressing, so Liu Zheng didn't think much about it, so he immediately let Lu Bu and Su Fei, who were stationed here, go over first.
Let Huang Zhong clean up and slowly rush over after gathering troops and horses.
In this way, it is enough to have urgency and slowness, and stabilize Gan Ning in a short period of time.
As long as Gan Ning can withstand it, Guan Yu's first few waves of attacks will be delayed until Su Fei's soldiers and horses arrive.
Then all will not be a problem.
After all, Guan Yu's subordinates should all be hungry soldiers with yellow muscles and thin muscles and little combat power, and with Gan Ning's elite soldiers fighting first, and then with the support of 10,000 vanguard troops and thousands of camps rushing to the battlefield to slaughter, it is simply a sure victory.
The 20,000 troops of Huang Zhong's headquarters arrived only to clean up the mess and pursue the defeated Guan Yu army.
Liu Zheng thought very well, and even Huang Zhong nodded in agreement with Liu Zheng's judgment.
Soon Su Fei went down to gather the vanguard army, and then rushed to the battlefield with Lu Bu.
Because the stakes are so high, Liu Zheng also knows that this battle is likely to lay the foundation of the situation in Hanzhong.
Therefore, Liu Zheng, who was unwilling to go to the battlefield in person, also knew that this time he would probably have to personally supervise the battle.
After Su Fei, Lu Bu and others left, Liu Zheng followed Huang Zhong's army to lead some of his brocade guards and gradually rushed to the battlefield.
Rushing from Xicheng to Nanzheng, if you march in a hurry, it will only take a few hours.
Of course, if there are horses, it will be faster, but Huang Zhong's men and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses don't have a lot of war horses.
Even if there were, it was only a signal to the scouts. Cavalry is rarely deployed here.
Therefore, Liu Zheng's men and horses spent 7 hours and night on the road.
finally approached Nan Zheng Cheng.
However, Huang Zhong's army had only just arrived outside Nanzheng City, and he had already realized that there had been a fierce battle here.
Far away, before he got close to the core battlefield, he could smell a thick smell of blood from a distance.
In the distance, the fire was soaring, and the dazzling firelight stained half of the sky red, and it was night, and the other half of the sky was covered by a layer of dark clouds, and the black hand could not see the five fingers.
On one side is a deep darkness, and on the other side is a blood-colored firelight.
Accompanied by screams and shouts of killing.
The closer you get to the core battlefield, the more you can feel that there is a fierce battle taking place on that battlefield.
The sound of fighting one after another made Liu Zheng, Huang Zhong and others all shake up.
"The battle is still going on, it should have been a whole day!"
After hearing the shouting and killing in the distance, Liu Zheng was immediately stunned.
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it stands to reason that the army is fighting, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't end it in one day, and now it has lasted all day, which means that both sides are in a hurry, it must be Guan Yu who is desperate to defeat Gan Ning, and General Gan Ning is only afraid of danger!"
In a day, if the normal deployment is followed, the army will only besiege a few times and then gradually cease, and wait until tomorrow to recharge and fight again.
The morale of both sides will change depending on the outcome of the battle.
The trapped side will only grow more and more demoralized.
