Chapter 407: Crossing the River, Soldiers Are Approaching Sour Dates! (1st Update)
This is a small town not far from the Yellow River, the town is close to the mountain, this nameless mountain is not high or steep, there is a small plain on the left, close to the official road, and the Jingping army from the official road is temporarily stationed on this small plain.
"How long is it until dawn?" Mu Jing looked at the sky, it was dark, calculated the time in his heart, and asked.
"In less than an hour!"
Huo Shao replied.
"Pass my military order, and each battalion will rest on the spot for an hour!" Mu Jing pondered for a moment and ordered: "After dawn, directly attack the Yanjin Ferry, quickly take Yanjin, and cross the river!" ”
If he could rest for half a day, it would be the best result, but the soldiers were fast, and he couldn't give the defenders of Yanjin time to prepare.
"No!"
The generals were ordered to go, and they could still afford this kind of intensity of battle.
"Wenyuan, how is the situation at Yanjin Ferry?"
After setting up camp, Mu Jing directly spread out a marching map on the big stone under the light of the torches, and asked in a deep voice.
"The news sent by Jing Wusi is that there are 3,000 soldiers stationed at this ferry, this is the Dongjun soldier, and the leading general is the captain of the Dongjun Prefecture, Lu Heng, this person has extraordinary martial arts, once a famous ranger, and makes good use of a short halberd!"
Zhang Liao said carefully: "I also sent the scouts to inquire, the news that the scouts came back from inquiring is not much different from the news sent by Jing Wusi, but some of their camping locations do not match the news, I have sent a second batch of scouts to inquire, I believe that there will be news back soon!" ”
The news sent by Jing Wusi that they must send scouts to verify during the march, which is the rule set by Mu Jing.
On the battlefield, any information asymmetry will cause unnecessary losses, and even lead to the defeat of a war.
"Find out the news of their camp as soon as possible, and tell the scouts to be careful, not to reveal their whereabouts, any mistakes will make us lose all our efforts, once we are delayed here in Yanjin, I am afraid that the next war will not be able to continue!"
Mu Jing rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice.
Once the news is exposed, the coalition forces will inevitably return to visit, and the strategy they have planned for so long will fall short, and this battle will eventually become a war of attrition.
"No!"
Zhang Liao nodded in response: "Don't worry, I will personally lead the scouts to inquire about the news!" ”
"You don't go!"
Mu Jing shook his head: "Jingping's second battalion, third battalion, fourth battalion, plus your Shuofang battalion, ordinary people can't control it, you have to stay to preside over the overall situation and maintain a high degree of cooperation between the battalions!" ”
"Xie Yu!" He let out a long howl.
"In!"
Captain Xie Yu came quickly.
"You take the scouts to Yanjin Ferry to investigate, go and return quickly!"
"Yes!"
Xie Yu took the order and left.
In the Jingping Camp, which was established with the capture of the Yellow Turbans in the past, among the five major generals with the backbone, Luo Ying was calm, Du Feng was cautious, Mo Bao was good at calculation, Xie Yu's personality was like the wind, and Chen had the best view of the overall situation.
This Xie Yu is the best to use as a scout, and among his third battalion, there are not many scouts with strong martial arts.
……
While waiting, all the soldiers seized the time to recover their strength, drank water and ate dry food, and then closed their eyes back to back to recuperate, but the armor did not leave their bodies, and the weapons did not leave their hands, and they were ready to attack at any time.
Although there were many new recruits in the expansion of the Jingping Army, after the First Battle of Hanoi, they were all veterans, and the quality of the soldiers in battle continued to rise.
Gradually, the sky showed a touch of fish belly white.
"Shizi, Xie Yu is back!"
"Hurry up and let him come to me!"
Mu Jing drank lowly, now every minute and every second is a race, and time is the most precious time in the war of racing against time.
"Report to the world, this is the location of the enemy army that the scouts inquired about, the time is too short, and we can't inquire very clearly, in addition, we killed a few scouts, although they hid their corpses, and did not cause a lot of movement, but after a long time, they will definitely be discovered, so we rushed back!"
Xie Yu sent a map of the distribution of military strength.
This drawing is rough, but it is already possible to roughly distinguish the position of the enemy troops on the ferry.
"How many boats are moored at the ferry?" Mujing is more concerned about this.
"I went to see it myself, and at a glance, they were all ships, and these soldiers were more to protect these ships!"
"It seems that Liu Bei and they crossed the river north and went north to Hanoi from here!"
Mu Jing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly figured it out, and he began to think: "Du Feng! ”
"In!"
"You lead the second battalion to attack the camp here, and fight quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Mo Bao, you hit the flanks, all the troops of the eastern front of the front battalion!"
"Yes!"
"Zhang Liao!"
"In!"
"Shuofang battalion main attack, frontal assault on the ferry!"
"Yes!" Zhang Liao nodded.
"Xie Yu!"
"In!"
"The task of the third battalion is that once the battle starts, you must raid in from this position at any cost, this is the weakest position, and after the raid is in, along the bank of the river, go straight to the ferry, and your task is to protect these ships, and the ferry is all up to them!"
"No!"
After the tasks are distributed, all the generals will set off one after another.
Mu Jing lived in Zhang Liao's Chinese army and personally led the army to attack the front of Yanjin.
……
An hour later, as soon as the sun rose, a great battle broke out at the Yanjin Ferry.
"Enemy attack!"
"Defend quickly!"
The attack of the Jingping army was as fast as thunder, and it suddenly attacked the Dongjun soldiers.
"Where did the enemy come from?"
Lu Heng, the governor of Dongjun, is a drunkard, he drank a little wine last night, and wanted to take a nap, after all, there was nothing big about the ferry, but the sudden sound of battle woke him up, he hurriedly walked out of the barracks door, tied his belt, picked up his weapon, turned over his horse, and went to the battlefield: "Who are you waiting for, you dare to attack my military camp, you are tired of it!" ”
His wide-open tactics beheaded several enemy soldiers at once: "Sons and daughters of Dongjun, don't be afraid, quickly move closer to me!" ”
The battlefield was chaotic, and his soldiers had been scattered.
So he wanted to reunite the soldiers to fight, but the enemy troops constantly surrounding him made his face very ugly, and this dense enemy army was at least several times higher than his strength, how to stop it.
"You're tired of it!"
A halberd broke through the air.
Zhang Liao came up, although his martial arts are not as good as those top generals, he is also a first-class general, one grade higher than Lu Heng.
Bell Bell Bell !!
After more than ten rounds, he was starting to lose his strength.
"Damn, where the hell did the enemy come from, their target...... Not good, they want to cross the river, this is the army of the imperial court! ”
Lu Heng gritted his teeth and shouted: "Sons, go and burn the ship quickly." ”
"Kill!"
At this moment, a force was able to fight from the bank of the river and seize the ferry.
"Fight with me, and still distracted, then sorry!"
Zhang Liao struck a halberd and cut off Lu Heng's head.
"Your lord is dead, quickly put down the weapon, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed!" Zhang Liao carried Lu Heng's head and roared angrily in the sky, and his voice echoed in the surging sound of the Yellow River.
"No mercy!"
"No mercy!"
The morale of the Shuofang battalion was high and they shouted in unison.
……
The battle ended smoothly, and in less than an hour, it was still morning, and the battalions had already begun to clean up the battlefield.
Mujing greeted the sun and walked on the pier of the ferry.
This is a natural ferry port with a number of deck openings for embarkation.
"What's going on across the river?" Mujing climbs high and looks far away, but the situation on the other side of the river is not very clear.
"News from Jing Wusi, there is no garrison on the other side of the river!"
Zhang Liao said: "Sour dates, Yanjin, Hanoi, three points and one line, Gongsun Zan in this sour date is very confident, so he only stationed three thousand defenders on the north bank, in order to meet Liu Bei in Hanoi, and he is not worried about Liu Bei's defeat!" ”
"In that case, let's go with the flow!"
Mu Jing said: "Cross the river at noon, and I will come to the city in the afternoon!" ”
"No!"
"Du Feng!"
"In!"
"The second battalion stayed in Yanjin, two tasks, to monitor the situation of Liu Beijun in Hanoi, and the second task to take over the Hun cavalry to the south, remember, we must ensure that the Hun cavalry crossed the river smoothly!"
"The last general commands!" Du Feng gave up his hand.
Mu Jing left him to guard because he was cautious and would never rush forward, if it was Xie Yu, maybe he would see that the situation was very good, and directly lead the army to insert the chrysanthemum position of Liu Bei's army.
As expected, the crossing went smoothly.
This is thanks to Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei before they collected a lot of upstream and downstream boats in order to cross the river to the north, and these boats were moored here at the ferry, which could supply 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river, saving Mujing several days of time.
The Shuofang battalion crossed the river first, then the third battalion, the fourth battalion, and the other was the reserve battalion and the personal guard battalion.
The reserve camp is the second enrollment of students in Jingping Wubeitang, they are all here, they have been following the army, their task is to be responsible for the logistics of the baggage, and when they are about to watch the battle, they can not participate in the battle, try not to let them participate in the battle, most of them are some fourteen or fifteen-year-old children.
After crossing the river, it is not time.
There are at least two hours left until the evening.
Enough of their soldiers to come down to the city.
……
Jujube.
Although the main force of the coalition army has pressed towards Bishui Pass, this is still the rear of the coalition army, and the military rations and weapons collected by Yanyu and Henan are all here, and Gongsun Zhan, the chief general of the Youzhou army, is in charge of taking care of it.
At this time, Gongsun Chan was inspecting the Baima Yicong military camp.
White Horse Yicong is his hole card, but also rely on, with the White Horse Yicong, he can be fearless, even if he is surrounded by a large army, he can also fight his way out of the encirclement, so he attaches great importance to the training of White Horse Yicong, and he has to personally inspect it every day.
"I don't know if Xuande's attack on Hanoi will be successful or not, if it is successful in capturing Chaoge, I can pull out the camp and go north!" Gongsun Chan watched the training of Bai Ma Yicong, and secretly planned in his heart.
Liu Bei attacked Hanoi and was the vanguard.
When Liu Bei stands firm in Hanoi, he can wave the main force to the north, as long as he conquers Hanoi, he will take advantage of the situation and go straight to Luoyang, and he may be the first prince to enter Luoyang, which is a famous thing in history.
"Lord, something is wrong!"
Suddenly, a scribe rode up outside the barracks.
"Ziyu, why are you so flustered?" Gongsun Chan frowned, he was a calm man as a strategist, and few things could surprise him so much.
"Yanjin is lost, the Dongjun army has been annihilated, the Jingping army has broken through the Yellow River, and it is coming straight to our sour dates, and now it is less than twenty miles away from us, within an hour, but the soldiers are coming to the city!"
The scribe Guan Jing jumped off his horse, bowed his hand, and gritted his teeth to report.
"What?"
When Gongsun Chan heard this, his pupils changed color: "How could Yanjin be lost, how is this possible?" ”
