Chapter 79: General Fish, You're Spicy!
Chang Diao was captured before, and according to Pound, when he was captured, he waged his tail and begged for mercy, and he had no mouth to curry favor with Liu Chan so as not to be killed.
The gesture was disgusting, and no one with the slightest discipline could do it.
But when you think about it, what can you do?
Chang Diao has gone through a lot of hardships and escaped from the clutches of the enemy, but he is still dedicated to the country, regardless of personal gains and losses.
This loyalty and courage is also rare.
"Admire, with a character like General Chang, why worry about the great cause?"
Several people blew each other about business, but it was still difficult to change the difficult scene of the siege of Fancheng.
In the next five days, except for one day of light rain, the remaining four days were non-stop torrential rain.
The Guan Yu army outside the city began to move the camp to a higher place, and the Cao army in the city cried even more and moved the camp directly to the city wall.
Guan Yu's army launched several sieges in the past few days,
But because of the heavy rain, the besieging troops were also deeply disturbed.
In desperation, he could only choose to retreat a little and wait for the heavy rain to drench the Cao army in the city alive.
In the past few days, whenever the morale in the city is low, Chang Diao will come out to boost morale.
He told aloud the story of his life-and-death struggle with Guan Yu and Liu Chan, who were of inferior character, after being captured.
Call on the soldiers of the whole city to persist in patience, and with General Cao, there must be hope for victory.
Cao Ren's tiger eyes were moved by Chang Diao's tears, and his heart was really in danger to see the truth.
Chang Diao is usually calculating and short-tempered,
At this moment, he was able to stand up and boost morale, and it was not in vain that he usually held him so seriously.
At Chang Diao's insistence, Cao Jun finally saw the hope of victory.
At the beginning of August, Yu Ban led an army of 30,000 and finally arrived belatedly.
When 30,000 soldiers arrived at the battlefield, Yu Ban immediately sent troops to attack Guan Yu, trying to break the siege and get in touch with Cao Ren in the city.
But the soldiers of the Cao Army in the north who came in a hurry had never seen such a heavy rain.
The battle in the rain, many people were dizzy by the watering, and they couldn't even see the road ahead, (the author was a northerner, and when he went to Ningbo in 14 years, he encountered heavy rain and thought it was a leak)
Guan Yu's army built some improvised camps early, and fought and retreated under the attack of the ban.
Yu Ban attacked many times, but with little effect.
However, the total strength of Guan Yu's army was only more than 20,000 people (the reason for the division of troops to Liu Chan),
And Yu Ban's 30,000 fresh army was well-organized, and after barely adapting to the unfavorable situation on a rainy day, Guan Yu's army suffered a small loss.
Pang De, who had been stationed in the north of the city, saw Yu Ban's army coming, and hurriedly led the army over to join Yu Ban.
Yu Ban has always looked down on Pang De, a general, and sneered and asked Pang De why he didn't dare to fight Guan Yu after being outside the city for a long time.
Pang De was full of grievances, and said in his heart that he had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he dared to fight in the field outside, he would not be swallowed by Guan Yu.
His original task was to contain the siege forces of Guan Yu's army.
Judging by the results, he has done very well.
But he really didn't dare to contradict this Cao Wei's General Zuo,
After all, people have a knotty in their hands, and they can cut themselves off without saying a word.
In the face of the ridicule of the ban, he could only give up:
"The last general is cowardly and incompetent, and I ask the general to forgive his sins."
Yu Ban sneered:
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions,
Tomorrow's ......"
"Report!"
Before Yu Ban finished speaking, the soldiers outside hurriedly broke into the tent and said:
"Report to the general, Guan Yu's army has increased its troops,
Looking at the flag, it was Liu Chan who arrived in person. ”
"Oh?"
Yu Ban was not surprised, and said: "Go and find out, is it Liu Chan himself here!" ”
Liu Chan is in Jingzhou, which Yu Ban heard early,
In order to strangle him, Cao Cao dispatched in addition to the ban,
He is also preparing to transfer all the soldiers and horses that can be called over, and strive to fight a general battle in the direction of Jingzhou.
On the way here, Yu Ban heard that Liu Chan had broken Xiangyang, and although he was surprised, he was not too surprised.
I heard that the city of Xiangyang was broken because Kuaipeng wanted to surrender, and Lu Chang was mighty and unyielding to fight with Kuaipeng, which made Liu Chan take advantage.
It's just that Liu Chan is squatting in Xiangyang, but it is difficult to capture.
Now he still dares to come out......
Hehe, then don't blame my men for being ruthless.
Liu Chan heard that Yu Ban had arrived at the battlefield, and Guan Yu suffered a small loss, so he couldn't sit still.
He carefully flipped through the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and found that Yu Ban in the book was drowned in the autumn water and became a fish general.
It's still the middle of summer, and Yu Ban has already appeared, could it be because he was too rampant that history has deviated a little.
(In this book, Guan Yujun's Northern Expedition is about a month and a half ahead of history)
I don't know if history will develop according to its own expectations,
Liu Chan couldn't sit back and watch Guan Yu get beaten by himself,
He asked Ma Yu to defend the city, and he led his headquarters to the battlefield to support Guan Yu.
As early as Yizhou, Liu Chan predicted Guan Yu's Northern Expedition,
The reinforcements of the Cao army he predicted at that time were due to the ban on leading,
This made Zhuge Qiao, Jufu and those soldiers who followed him all admire the five-body throw.
What is the god of war?
Liu Chan's ability to anticipate the enemy's first opportunity, I can't find a second one throughout the ages.
This is the supreme god of war.
Liu Chan, who was sitting on the boat, desperately poured Coke to hide his panic, and even made Zhuge Qiao and Jufu feel that Liu Chan was a sure winner-
At that time, before attacking the Yang Qun in Yuxian County, Liu Chan also performed the same,
Presumably in this battle, even the famous general Ban decided that he couldn't stop the power of Childe.
Seeing Liu Chan coming to support, Guan Yu was quite emotional,
Adou has really grown up, and he can share the worries of his elders,
Big brother, there is a successor to our great cause!
Guan Yu's war was tense, and in order to prevent chaos, Liu Chan did not take his subordinates to his camp to report, but only sent envoys to spread the word, expressing his willingness to listen to Guan Yu's command.
How could Guan Yu command Liu Chan to sell his life, he sent someone to reply to the letter, saying that he should let Liu Chan take a good look,
He, who is the second uncle, will soon be able to beat him violently.
It's good for juniors to watch from afar.
Over the next few days, Guan Yu and Yu Ban engaged in several tentative engagements in the narrow open space of Fancheng.
Yu Ban is worthy of being a strategic celebrity,
He has a large army, but he still sends a small force to lure the enemy first.
While fighting, let the army slowly move to both sides, trying to create a small scale of more fights and less to eat Guan Yu's forces as much as possible.
Guan Yu has been fighting for so many years, and this tactic naturally can't be difficult for him.
Seen in the disabling of such a strategy to lure the enemy,
He simply went out in person, directly ordered the main force to storm the front of the ban, forcing the ban to stop outflanking and concentrate his forces to deal with it.
But in this way, Guan Yu's army was all crowded in front,
Yu Ban Pang De led the death squad to attack, using the absolute superiority of the army to exchange lives with Guan Yu.
In order to prove his innocence, Pound fought this battle very carefully,
The two sides strangled together, fought fiercely for a long time, and Guan Yu was forced to retreat -
But Yu Ban found that when Guan Yu retreated, the army was in order, and the troops showed no signs of dispersing, and they did not dare to chase deeply.
It's amazing.
Guan Yu and Yu Ban admired each other and decided to use their own means to continue fighting.
Cao Ren of Fancheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Yu Ban actually fought to a draw with Guan Yu.
Previously, Cao Ren's troops were always unilaterally beaten by Guan Yu in field battles.
As long as Guan Yu charges, Cao Ren can't resist how many people he has.
At this time, seeing the resoluteness of the ban, Cao Ren's face finally showed a smile.
"It's a good fight......
It's a pity, it's just a little bit! ”
Man Zhong watched that although Yu Ban did not fall behind, he had not made any progress, and he was still a little anxious in his heart.
"No, Wen Ze's style of play is too dependent on troops,
In order to drag Yun Chang, he concentrated too many soldiers on the front,
If I were the cloud chief, I would have to divide my troops to cut off his food routes. ”
"Bah, can you say something to someone!"
Cao Ren took a sip,
However, he still felt that there was some truth in what Man Pet said.
"Hey, but if that's not the case, how can you defeat Guan Yu's puppet?"
Chang Diao heard Cao Ren muttering to himself, and immediately hugged his fists and said:
"General, I have a plan, which is enough to break through the siege, so that Guan Yu Pifu does not dare to surround me!"
