Chapter 279: Battle of the Pontoon Bridge (2-in-1)

The middle route army set off from the original Jinquan City, stepped into Chen Korea, and then crossed the middle section of the Luodong River to enter Chen Korea, Zhang Fei and others advanced very fast, successively won the committee hall, Daqiu and Qingshan, and went straight to Yongshan, the capital of Chen Korea, all the way like a bamboo.

"The next city is Yongshan, and if you take it, you're half the battle!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to fly in.

Wang Xiu said: "Yide, do you think it's strange, are we attacking too smoothly, every time we attack a city, the enemy abandons the city after a little resistance. ”

Zhang Fei said: "What is this, it can only be said that they are too weak, how can Chen Han's combat effectiveness be the opponent of our army, you must know that every lieutenant in our army is an elite." ”

Zhang Fei's face was not red, and he praised in his heart.

Wang Xiu coughed twice and laughed: "That's right, our soldiers are all elite, especially General Zhang's superb martial arts, heroic and brave, and he must take the lead in every battle, but why every time we capture a city, there are no people in the city, this is inevitably a little too clean to retreat." ”

"This ......" Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "You mean, the other party is premeditated." ”

As long as Zhang Fei didn't go to the battlefield to cut people, most of the time he was actually a calm scholar, and after a little thought, he knew what Wang Xiu meant.

Wang Xiu said: "That's right, the enemy retreated too thoroughly, too quickly, I estimate that Yongshan City can be taken without much fighting." ”

Deputy Commander Zhu Lingdao: "Could it be that the army of Chen Korea has invaded and attacked Benhan County, so the rear is empty and almost undefended." ”

"It would be nice if this was the case, but I don't think so, I think there is a conspiracy, the enemy is deliberately leading us deeper, you see that if Yongsan is taken, we can join forces with the Southern Route Army to encircle the main force of Chen, and we will say that the battle will be successful.

It looks like a huge decoy to lead us down this path. Wang Xiu shook his head and said.

"Won't we fight Yongshan and keep it, but for now, all this is just an inference, and everything is a prerequisite for establishing a conspiracy theory of the Great Absolute." Zhang Fei said.

"It's definitely going to be fought, but you have to make some preparations, let Zhang Bao and others stay in the committee hall, and get stuck in the middle of the Luodongjiang River, and you can't lose at any time, especially the pontoon bridge." Wang Xiu then said:

"At the same time, Wenbo must guard Qingshan and block the way for Chen's army to return to the capital north."

The three of them discussed, and then divided the work together.

Wang Xiu and Zhang Fei led the main force of 4,000 to attack Yongshan City, and Zhu Ling led 1,000 headquarters plus Zhang Bao's 1,000 soldiers to guard Qingshan.

In addition, Zhang Baobing will guard Daqiu City with 2,000 horses.

Zhang Bao led 7,000 people to guard the palace city and followed the pontoon bridge across the Luodong River.

Sure enough, as Wang Xiu guessed, Yongshan City was defeated without much waste.

It's also an empty city.

King Chenhan and his people were all gone.

However, according to the clues left behind, they retreated north to Ningshan City.

"Ning Shan, King Chen Han didn't want to lead us to the north, he wouldn't have moved everyone to Andong City early." Wang Xiu looked at the marked points on the map, and his eyes moved upward.

To the north of Ningshan is Andong, and to the north of Andong is Rongshan and Chunyang, which is the border between Chenhan and Donghao.

The terrain there is more treacherous, more defensible and difficult to attack, and if the Korean generals move the population there, so that the battle will be extended.

As the battle line grows, it becomes more difficult to transport grain and grass, and it means that the probability of being attacked by oneself also increases.

To attack or not to attack, to chase or not to chase!

Wang Xiu found that the other party was extremely strategic this time, and he was afraid that he would encounter a powerful opponent.

Wang Xiu knew that many children of the Yuan family had come to the peninsula, and with Yuan Kui's strong support at that time, the Yuan family must have sent a lot of talents from the Central Plains to come over.

These people are not comparable to those dirt buns in the three countries of the peninsula.

They are more far-sighted, more knowledgeable, have more ink in their stomachs, and of course have more ghost ideas.

"It's not easy to want to know, then hit Ningshan, if they still retreat, they must want to lead us to the north, and we will understand their intentions, if this is the case, we will not chase, turn south and cooperate with the South Route Army, clear the south, and slowly deal with the north after turning around." Zhang Fei punched the map, he is a general, and he has to show the courage he should have at this time.

Whether there is a conspiracy or not, just do it.

"Good! Then attack Ningshan and wipe it. Wang Xiu had no choice but to agree to Zhang Fei's plan, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this plan.

The city of the museum!

Zhang Bao also held a map in his hand, looked left and right, thought about it, stared at the indecent Star Mountain, Gao Mountain, and Xuanshan Mountain, and said thoughtfully:

"If you want me to say, Wang Xiu's strategy is wrong, he shouldn't take Zhang Fei's Fourth Army Captain to fight Yongshan to chase the king of Chen, but should go down the river to eat Xingshan, Gaoshan, Xuanshan and Chuanshan, and go directly to join the South Route Army, so that the west of the Luodong River is all under the control of our army, and the soldiers and horses that enter Ben Korea will be surrounded and annihilated first."

Ma Yuanyi said: "General, it may be that Wang Xiu considered that it was inconvenient for us to go south downstream, so it was better to go straight to Huanglong and kill the royal family of Chenhan County first, and first penetrate horizontally to encircle the main force of the rebels in the south." ”

This is indeed a problem.

They are the middle route army, and they came by land, but unlike the southern route army and the naval army, they can run rampant on the Luodong River.

Xingshan, Gaoshan, and Xuanshan can only attack by water, otherwise it will be difficult to walk to people crying on the mountain road alone, and it will be even more difficult to transport grain and grass.

"Do you think we can float downstream on a bamboo raft and take these three cities?" Zhang Bao was still a little unwilling.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity!

A chance to prove yourself, a chance to prove 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers.

Bamboo rafting!

Zhang Bao really dared to think about it.

Ma Yuanyi said: "The general's idea is very good, but the bamboo raft will definitely not bring many people, and the grain, grass and equipment can not be carried, we are not familiar with the river, it is difficult to ensure that the undercurrent and reef will not overturn, and the non-combat attrition will be very serious, and the most important thing is that even if we can take Xingshan by surprise attack, I am afraid that we will not be able to take Gaoshan and Xuanshan." ”

Sneak attacks are a must-have.

The same tactics usually don't work when used consecutively.

Taking down Xingshan will definitely alarm the high mountains and Xuanshan Mountain behind.

If Zhang Baozhen does this, it is estimated that the Korean rebels only need to wait for the rabbit to counter-ambush and destroy the army on the Luodong River.

So in his opinion, this kind of play outweighs the losses.

It may be that Zhang Bao also felt a little unreliable, and finally shook his head and said: "You are right, this style of play lacks some consideration." ”

He Zhang Bao can't fail, he can't be defeated by such inferior tactics, and he can't look for death.

Otherwise, 100,000 yellow scarves will not be able to raise their heads.

Ma Yuanyi nodded and said, "General, the warrant given to us by Wang Shuzhi and Zhang Yide is to guard the Weiguan City!" Seeing that the pontoon bridge is not destroyed by the Chenhan rebels, why do we make some efforts in this regard, the news from the front, the Chenhan rebels retreat one after another, I am afraid that there will be some explosions, it is estimated that they want to lead our army to go deep alone, and then break through each one. ”

"You mean, the enemy will come to attack the city." After reading the map, Zhang Bao understood the importance of the museum city.

This is the only node of the Middle Route Army connecting Huanghai County, and now the Southern Route Army has not taken the lower reaches of the Luodong River, and the rear of the Middle Route Army is still Huanghai County.

The loss of the pontoon bridge is equivalent to cutting off the grain route, and it also endangers the safety of the officers and men of the three armies.

Therefore, he is very important here, otherwise Wang Xiu would not let him command 8,000 troops to garrison here.

Ma Yuanyi said: "General, we should immediately divide a group of men and horses back to the other side, set up a camp and Weiguan City as horns to guard the pontoon bridge, and at the same time I suggest reinforcing the pontoon bridge, by the way, building a hidden bridge, tying a big stone and sinking it to the bottom of the water just in case." ”

Zhang Bao's eyes lit up again when he heard this, and he patted Ma Yuanyi's shoulder and said: "It's better for you to think about it, so let's do it, I will lead 2,000 people back to the west bank to set up a village, and you will take 6,000 to defend the city." ”

"General, I'll take 2,000 people to the West Bank, you're the commander, how can you be in danger!" Ma Yuanyi was happy that Zhang Bao listened to his advice, but he was also worried.

Zhang Bao is the last of their three major bosses in Taiping Dao.

In case of an accident, there will be no leader in Taiping Road.

Completely gone, then really gone.

When a saint marries, it is always water that is spilled.

"Nope! I can only do this, I don't take the lead in how to boost morale, you stay in the city, this is my order. "Zhang Bao is also a stubborn person sometimes, the more dangerous the more he can reflect the value, he wants to take the lead and give a bright future for the 100,000 Yellow Turbans, and even the countless Yellow Turbans that have not yet been promised to be absorbed into Weiyuan Island.

If you want someone to make Xu Ding look good, you have to work hard.

Speak with military merit and prove with strength.

Ma Yuanyi saw that Zhang Bao was starting to make a mistake again, so he couldn't persuade him, but in the end he only said: "It's not impossible for the general to go out of the city and set up a wall, please ask the general to bring the two thousand elites of the young lady over." ”

2,000 Yellow Turban Lux, I believe that they can always ensure Zhang Bao's safety.

Zhang Bao thought about it and didn't refuse, and agreed.

So Zhang Bao crossed the river with 2,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers and immediately set up a camp on the opposite bank.

"No! The Han people seem to have found out something, and they have set up camp on the west bank of the scriptures, and they must be uprooted. ”

"Hitting the camp will alarm the Han army, what if the Han army reacts and is not going deeper?"

"Shall they build the camp and then secure the pontoon bridge, according to what I said, we can destroy the pontoon bridge now, anyway, they think that they can cut off their retreat after crossing the bridge."

"Hmmm! I'm in favor, almost, the Han are very cunning, it's too much, let's start a counterattack......"

"Counterattack! Counteroffensive ......"

Somewhere in the upper reaches of the Luodong River, twenty miles north of the Weiguan City, a group of people gathered together for a meeting, and they were all the city-state lords of Daqiu, Weiguan, and Qingshan in Chenhan and the nearby cottage owners.

The atmosphere suddenly became high, but there was still one person present who did not speak.

This man was dressed very differently from these city-state lords, he was dressed in Hanfu, combed with Han-style hair accessories, and held a bronze sword in his hand, his eyes were always closed.

"General, should you say something?"

Suddenly, a man looked at the twenty-seven-eight-year-old man.

The man opened his eyes, swept over everyone with his peripheral vision, looked at the fire, and slowly opened his mouth: "Didn't you discuss it?" ”

The implication is to ask for an egg.

At that moment, the lord of Taiqiu City-State stood up and pointed at the man and said: "Han people, don't think that the king asked you to be a general, you really think that you are a general, you really think that we want to listen to your command and be a ......"

Before the man finished speaking, he saw the man sitting cross-legged jump up at dusk, and his figure turned over and swept over the head of the lord of this Taiqiu city state, and then saw the cold light of the sword body flashing.

The man landed and put the sword into the sheath.

Blood spilled from the neck of the lord of the Taiqiu city-state, and the man slowly fell to the ground.

At this moment, the other city-state lords stood up one after another, drew their swords and retreated.

"When I'm done, it's time for me to speak." The man turned to look at the others and said coldly: "I am the general of Chen Korea, and I am ordered by the king to preside over the war on the Western Front, and I will kill without obeying orders!" ”

This man's surname is Wei Mingfeng, the face is often born, he was born in a poor family, he has dreamed of being a hero since he was a child, and he has taken refuge in other states and counties many times when he was a teenager, but he has repeatedly hit a wall because of his background, and he is not welcomed.

Later, Yuan Kui's son Yuan Jin took a fancy to him and recommended him to the king of Chen Han, and Chen Hantian Wang Erluo talked with him and became a confidant, so that he became the general of the king of Chen Han, and the loser commanded the unified operation of the military and the people in the three cities and twelve villages such as Daqiu, Weiguan and Qingshan.

Because they are Han people, they have always been disobeyed by the people of these three cities and twelve villages.

It just so happened that one of them jumped out to provoke and killed him directly with a sword.

Wei Feng's sword was too fast, and his body was faster, and although the others resented him for killing, they didn't dare to step forward.

Wei Feng glanced at everyone, sneered in his heart, then sat down and continued to roast the fire: "I represent the will of the king, whoever is in favor of it is a loyal minister, and whoever is against it is a rebellion, from now on, the Daqiu city-state will be removed from the name and changed to Daqiu County!" ”

After speaking, Wei Feng raised his head again and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

No one answered, but the silence was largely acquiesced.

Wei Feng threw a few dry timbers into the fire, stirred up the flames, and said: "You are right, it's time to send troops to counterattack, the soldiers and horses are divided into two groups, the people of Weiguan and Qingshan attack the village, pull out the Han camp on the west bank, the people of the twelve villages destroy the bridge by waterway, and the people of Daqiu City follow me to intercept the Han army in the city of Weiqiu, all for Chen Korea, do you have any opinions?" ”

The arrangement was orderly and clear, Wei Feng was a Han man, but he had to lead the least number of people to deal with the most Han troops, and they couldn't compare to this courage.

So everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "It's the general!" We have no objection. ”

Immediately, the army of the Western Front of Chen, which had been nesting in the three cities and twelve villages for several days, went down the river and began to attack the Sanzhang Baoren.

"The enemy is coming, be prepared!"

The spies sent out by Zhang Bao to guard discovered the enemy who suddenly appeared in the north, and immediately came back to report it.

Soon, the West Bank camp was densely packed with soldiers from Chen, almost 13,400.

The weapons in the hands of these people are on par with Zhang Bao and others, and they even have siege equipment, such as battering rams.

"Attack, take the Han camp ......"

The two city-state lords of Weiguan and Qingshan drew their swords and pointed their fingers, and the men and horses of the two city-states launched an attack on Zhang Bao's camp at the same time in the west and north.
