Chapter 159: The General's Battle

Also on July 11, Zhang Liao's family arrived at Wuyang Pass.

Since the beginning of the month, Cao Pici took Zhang Liao's mother and family members from Xudu to announce the counties and garrisons along the way, and went out to greet him.

And Jin Zhang Liao as the Marquis of Jinyang, 2,300 households, his brother was sealed, and a son was the Marquis of Guannei, and the favor was prominent.

At Wuyang Pass, the generals were also ordered to pay homage to Zhang Liao's mother, and then a big banquet.

Wang Ling, the assassin of Yanzhou, asked: "Tian Xiao's ancestors are brave, and the Han lord leads Tian Xiao to help in the war, and all the armies in Jiangdong are invincible and unbearable." When does the prince think it is appropriate for our army to send troops? ”

The rest of the generals such as Feng Kai and Lu Zhao, as well as the junior generals such as Le Qi and Zhang Hu were all present at the banquet, and now Zhang Liao's protector is Xue Yi during the Battle of Xiaoyaojin.

After the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Xue Yi was transferred to Guanzhong, and in order to ensure that Zhang Liao could play normally, Cao Pi transferred Xue Yi back to serve as Zhang Liao's protector.

Everyone is curious about this question and wants to figure out how much influence a person can have.

Seeing that everyone was concerned about this matter, Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "The Wu army is okay to hold onto, but Tian Xiao is the first to take Jingyu, and all the battles are overcome. I expected that the imperial court was deeply affected by this person, and in order to ensure the overall situation in the southeast was safe, our army sent troops in two or three days. ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Liao said again: "Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's tonight." ”

Zhang Hu clenched his fists: "Father, can the power of one person really shake thousands of troops?" ”

"No, it's really because of Jiangdong's low morale. And the imperial court was worried that the Jiangdong officials did not dare to fight, and the two were superimposed, so that Tian Xiaoxian was brave and famous. ”

Zhang Liao stroked his beard as he spoke, and made a joke: "For example, our army wants to see how majestic this person is." ”

"Report!"

Not long after the words fell, when everyone was still thinking about it, a military official led a knight into the lobby quickly, the knight had two turmeric negative feathers on his back, his legs were weak and trembling when he walked, and he was sweating profusely and holding a volume of encrypted silk books in both hands.

The silk book is sealed with lacquer, and there are also three pheasant feathers in the lacquer.

The feather book, the so-called chicken feather letter, has one pheasant feather to identify, and this one turned out to be three.

The protector Xue Yi stepped forward to catch it, Wang Ling also got up, came to Zhang Liao to open the lacquer seal together, took out a silk book in public, and slowly spread it out, with only four words: It is advisable to send troops quickly.

Through the hands of Xue Yi, the silk book was transferred to Zhang Liao's hands, and he held Gao Surong to look around the hall, and a famous general, county guard, lieutenant general, school captain, and lieutenant gathered together, lined up in a train, and bowed his hand to make a listening statement.

Zhang Liao's face was calm, now is not the time to send troops, but Xu Du has more concerns, for fear that the Jiangdong army will collapse for thousands of miles, and also worried that Sun Quan will be repeated, so he chose to surrender Liu Bei.

Considering the different emphasis, I want to win this battle with the least cost, and it is best to consume more Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

Xu Du is measuring the long-term future, and he must know that this is Sun Quan's plan, but he has to follow Sun Quan's baton to send troops.

The Jiangdong Army held the basic position and dragged the Han army, so that the Wei army could rest the wounds caused by the battles of Hanzhong and Xiangfan.

If the Jiangdong Army is gone, or surrendered, then the Han Army will be able to go on a northern expedition this year.

Under the gaze of Xue Yi and Wang Ling, Zhang Liao's beard trembled slightly: "Tomorrow, the fourth watch will pull out the camp, and the armies will march in order." If there is a disorderly army, a misguided army, or a person who betrays the army, he will not be spared. ”

"Order!"

On the other side, Tian Xin led his troops to board the ship and went to the front camp with Guan Yu.

The entire Han army was connected by camps on both sides of the strait, east and west, north and south, and each had nearly 300 li, and the envoys rushed back and forth, and the battalions started fires to cook and make more dry food to facilitate the use of the Wu army when pursuing it.

The 20,000 Nanyang troops were assembled by boat in an orderly manner to Xiakou, and Liu Feng, the guard of the Xiakou battalion, climbed high and looked excited.

As long as the sailors defeat Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and go straight to Sun Quanlai's Yamamoto formation, how many of the 90,000 Wu troops on the south bank can escape? !

The military merit of capturing is equivalent to beheading, and the 90,000 Jiangdong Army is enough to make the armies on the south bank eat and explode.

According to the military merit, each person can be promoted by at least two levels!

This is not a false promotion, swallowing and absorbing the Jiangdong Army, you can get a real promotion!

Even if there is no such treatment as being promoted two levels in a row, it is appropriate to be promoted to one level, and almost everyone above the rank of general has a share!

The battalions rejoiced, and the high mood continued to spread to the periphery, and the Huangquan battalion on the south bank learned that Tian Xin had participated in the battle, and the battalion soldiers of the left army and the soldiers of Jingnan County issued wave after wave of cheers.

provoked the Yi soldiers in the camp of Shamoke next to him also cheered, Shamoke ran to Huang Quan's camp to inquire, and saw Chen Feng, Xi Hong, Wen Bu, Deng Kai and others in front of the big tent hugging each other to celebrate, and even Huang Quan himself began to wear armor and was ready to pursue at any time.

Shamoke is said to be a barbarian king, but in fact, it is the same as Jing Man's Manshang Meishi, in fact, it is deeply sinicized, just like the Han land is strong.

Wuxi Barbarian and Jing Man do not pay much attention to blood, there is no hereditary claim to the throne, and there is not even the concept of a throne, the so-called barbarian king is a military leader elected by everyone, and the task is not to fight on weekdays, but to mediate disputes with a fair attitude.

Only when foreign enemies invade, or resist rough officials, can the barbarian king be like a true leader.

The Jiangdong generals encircled and suppressed and co-opted the Shanyue tribes, and the various barbarian tribes in Jingzhou were terrified and resentful, and the barbarians in Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang counties were even more killed.

So there is no need to agitate Shamoko, Shamoko himself will bring people to the war.

If he doesn't come, Wuxi Man will vote with a sword and change it for a barbarian king who dares to come.

At the head of Wuchang City, He Qi looked at the more than 30-mile joint camp of the Han army, and saw that the officials were running everywhere, and many Yi soldiers had begun to dance excitedly.

The nearest Han camp, the camp has been set up two miles outside Wuchang City, digging a few shallow ravines, as well as a deep trench, fences, antlers also have three, and the moat has long been filled by the Han army.

The city wall of Wuchang City is the first line of the Wu army, and behind the Wuchang City, there are dense Wu army barracks, and the barracks are connected by Yongdao.

The defenders of the city were already in obvious panic, and He Qi ordered: "Those who talk about military aircraft in vain will be beheaded immediately!" ”

The Xiahoulan battalion on the south bank was divided into five battalions, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion spontaneously began to arm, and the fighting spirit burned like a flame.

Escort Dong Hui stood in front of the gate and looked at the faint silhouette of the warship on the north bank, as if he had heard the cheers from Guan Yu's camp there.

Not long after, a speedboat came on the opposite bank, and the military officials on the boat waved and held flags, and shouted after approaching the Xiahoulan camp: "General's order!" Tell the battalions to release the rafts! ”

Xia Houlan was already wearing leather armor and shouted to the military officials around him: "Quickly send orders to all battalions, don't delay!" ”

Not long after, Liu Feng on the south bank of the upper reaches and Zhang Nan on the north bank also received military orders, and began to push the prepared oil rafts into the river, which were pulled by small boats to Zhao Lei's camp.

Zhao Lei's military camp is on Jiangzhu, and the water flow between Jiangzhu and the north bank is gentle, which is suitable for gathering oil rafts.

In the boat, Tian Xin carefully observed the patent leather armor he brought, which was made of eight layers of rhinoceros leather lacquer, and it was very tough.

Counting the coarse silk armor, fine linen clothing, silk armor, and a composite silk leather helmet, the weight of tomorrow's armor is only 60 catties or 15 kilograms.

A bronze sword case, which is enough to deal with water battles.

Both sides are light armor and no armor, and when they are slashed with a sword, the feel should be silky, and there will be no blockage or sinking.

As for the stray arrows flying in the line of sight, most of them can be dodged and cut off.

After fighting for so long, he has a deep enough fighting instinct.

However, the iconic Fang Tian Halberd has to be taken up, and the Fang Tian Halberd has been changed back to its original size, and the length of Zhang Ba is not conducive to foot combat.

With the weight of Fang Tianhalberd, his own strength, and the increase in his strong attack talent, it is difficult to say that he can directly break through the Wu army's warship.

In this way, you don't have to jump one boat after another.
