Chapter 292: The Sailor Crosses the River
That night, Yue Fei ordered the sentry to clear the enemy scouts within twenty miles of the camp in Jing County, and then immediately led his army to leave the camp and go straight to the direction of the Jiangdong Army's Spring Valley camp.
After Yue Fei led the army to leave, Gan Ning personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses into the camp of Yue Fei's department, and the soldiers and horses of Gan Ning's department were the same color as the clothes and armor of Yue Fei's soldiers and horses, but the weapons were a little different. After the soldiers and horses of Gan Ning's army changed their weapons, the style of their soldiers was almost the same as that of Yue Fei's army, and with these 3,000 soldiers and horses bluffing in the camp, the Jiangdong army scouts had no way to get close to the camp in Jing County, let alone find the news that Yue Fei's army had left.
Early the next morning, the Jiangdong Army scouts saw that there was almost no change in Yue Fei's army camp, and they didn't report the news that Yue Fei suddenly sent troops to clean up their own scouts last night, after all, such a scout battle has been carried out more than once or twice, and everyone has become accustomed to it, if such a 'little thing' is still reported every day, then Shangguan will not do anything else!
In this way, under the knowledge of the scouts in the army, Sun Quan, Zhu Zhi and others did not get any news of any changes in Yue Fei's army, and still sat firmly in the Diaoyutai in Wanling City.
……
Just as Yue Fei's army was heading towards the Spring Valley camp, the rest of the soldiers and horses had already moved.
Zhang Xutuo and Huang Zhong's troops and horses, after receiving the military order, immediately prepared for the army to move, just wait for Yue Fei's army to reach the Spring Valley area, Huang Zhong's army can immediately cross the river to block the Jiangdong Army's water village, Zhang Xutuo's army can also immediately take the extra cargo ships and fishing boats to cross the river, and go to join forces with Yue Fei's army to besiege the Spring Valley camp.
After Li Siye got the military order, although he had a complaint in his heart about not becoming the main general, he also knew that his role in this battle was basically to contain the enemy army, and it was normal for Yue Fei's troops and horses to get the moon first near the water.
Jing County is not far from the distance of Spring Valley, the army only needs one day and one night to arrive in a hurry, Li Siye's army is now garrisoned in Dongcheng, it will take at least two days to go to Danyang, Li Siye knows that the time is urgent, after getting the military order, he hurriedly led the army straight to Liyang.
Liyang and Danyang City are just across the river, as long as Yue Fei, Huang Zhong and Zhang Xutuo's three-way army is launched, Li Siye's army can appear in Liyang, it can make Wu Jingsuo's soldiers and horses dare not move!
……
Yue Fei led the army all the way to the hurried, and finally arrived at the area of Spring Valley near the evening of the next day, the Jiangdong Army of the Spring Valley camp was mainly guarded against the soldiers and horses of Zhang Xutuo and Huang Zhong across the river, and there was not much defense for the rear, after Yue Fei's army arrived at Spring Valley, it was soon hidden in a mountain forest behind the Jiangdong Army camp, and the Jiangdong Army was not aware of this.
After Yue Fei arranged for his soldiers and horses to rest and eat, he hurriedly ordered the Jinyi guard to send a letter to all the soldiers and horses to pass the military order, and ordered Huang Zhong's sailors to send troops on time tonight to attack the Jiangdong Army camp at night, and it was necessary to block the Jiangdong Army's water village and not let the Jiangdong Army's warships come out; After the soldiers and horses of Zhang Xutuo's division blocked the Jiangdong Army's water village with Huang Zhong's division, he immediately led the army across the river to besiege the Jiangdong Army camp; ordered Li Siye's troops and horses to arrive in Liyang before noon tomorrow at the latest, and find an opportunity to cross the river to contain Wu Jingsuo's troops and horses in Danyang City; In the end, the soldiers and horses of Gan Ning and the Xuancheng who were looking for an opportunity to go to Xuancheng tonight must cut off the waterway of the Shuiyang River, and not let the 20,000 sailors in Wanling City enter the Yangtze River!
After sending military orders to all the soldiers and horses, Yue Fei asked Jinyi Wei to copy the news that he had led the army to Spring Valley and the military orders he passed to the soldiers and horses, and the flying pigeon passed the book to Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao would lead the army to Wucheng at that time, so Yue Fei did not need to point this out.
……
An hour later, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xutuo and Gan Ning had already sent back the news to Yue Fei, saying that they had received his military order and would act in accordance with the military order.
Time flew by, and soon it was close to the hour.
Li Siye also woke up very punctually, and the guards around him saw Li Siye wake up, and stepped forward to bow and said: "General, the time is almost there, General Li has sent back the letter, he has received the general's military report, and he will arrive in Liyang early tomorrow morning at the latest, please don't worry about the general." ”
"Well, I know, I ordered the brothers to eat something, and when I give the order, I will immediately attack the Jiangdong Army camp!"
"No, we'll take !! order"
……
Linhu County, Xiang'an Daying.
Zhang Xutuo and Huang Zhong's troops and horses had already been prepared, Huang Zhong saw that the sand in the hourglass was about to fall, and said: "Brother Xutuo, the time is almost up, I will immediately lead the army to set off, and after I block the waterway of the Jiangdong Army, I will immediately order the release of the arrow, and after Brother Tai sees the arrow, he can lead the army to cross the river!" ”
Zhang Xutuo arched his hand slightly to Huang Zhong and said, "In this way, it will be troublesome for Han to be promoted to brother, and I hope that Brother Tai will succeed in the first battle!! ”
Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Tai, rest assured, this battle is my first battle after serving under the lord, and Huang will definitely be invincible in this battle!! ”
"Farewell !!"
"Treasure !!"
After Huang Zhong bid farewell to Zhang Xutuo, he immediately boarded the flagship that belonged to him, because this battle was a night attack, Huang Zhong did not make a sound to boost morale, but only made the sergeant on the lookout wave a few rounds of torches, and under the light of the moon, Huang Zhong's naval fleet slowly started off the shore like a ghost ship, and rolled straight to the position of the Jiangdong Army Water Village.
After the sailor fleet was offshore, the speed began to soar, and the sailors and soldiers stepped on the pedal with all their might, and the whole fleet quickly cut through the water and shot straight towards the Jiangdong Army Water Village.
Because the warships of Huang Zhong's division were all steamships, the speed of Huang Zhong's naval division was much faster than that of the Jiangdong army's warships, so that Huang Zhong's naval division had a great advantage in the confrontation of the clipper scouts.
The Jiangdong Army's clipper scouts were suppressed by Huang Zhong's sailors in a very small range, and the Jiangdong Army's sentry ships did not dare to row across the middle of the Yangtze River, in order to make tonight's raid smooth, Huang Zhong also deliberately increased the number of sentry boats, and the days of the Jiangdong Army's sentry ships were even more difficult, and they could only operate near their own camp, and they could not detect the movements of Huang Zhong's army at all.
Although such a move attracted some attention from Lu Meng, Huang Zhong often used it to train the army, and Lu Meng did not guess that Huang Zhong actually planned to attack his own camp at night.
