"The enemy attacked in two directions, and marched quickly. If I divide my forces to meet it, I can solve the urgent need, but... ”

Guan Yu was very worried.

Even the First and Second Armies were no match for the enemy.

His Hebei Field Army, with only 20,000 people left, how could he win?

Even if the troops are divided, they won't be able to stop for long.

In the event of defeat, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, do we need to divide the troops?" ”

"It's too late to divide the troops."

Guan Yu remembered.

The enemy is all mechanized troops, and they are moving fast.

And he...

There were 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 infantry.

No matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than the enemy.

Guan Yu looked back at his son Guan Ping and said, "I will give you 10,000 troops, and you will garrison Liyang to ensure that the reinforcements from the Central Plains can cross the Yellow River smoothly." ”

"No."

Guan Ping asked, "Where is my father?" ”

"I have to return to Yecheng, which is the capital of Jizhou, and must be the focus of the enemy's attack. There must be no loss there. Guan Yu said.

That's the only thing he can do at the moment.

...........

Two days later.

The eastward marching corps led by Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici arrived at Baimajin.

Prepare to cross the Yellow River from Baimajin.

"Report..." The scouts came and handed Jia Xu a letter.

"This was sent by Guan Yu."

After reading the letter, Jia Xu frowned deeply.

Tai Shici asked, "Sir, what's going on in Hebei?" ”

"Nanpi and Yecheng are still in our hands, right?"

"See for yourself." Jia Xu gave the letter to Tai Shici.

Zhang Liao on the side also leaned over.

There are only a dozen words on the letter--- Yecheng has been lost, and it has now withdrawn to Huguan, eager for reinforcements.

"Even Yecheng has been lost, and the situation in Hebei is even more serious than we imagined." Jia Xu said: "We must cross the Yellow River immediately. ”

"Fortunately, Yecheng is not far from Liyang, and we can arrive within three or five days..."

Zhang Liao said: "The war is urgent, and there is no need to hesitate. Let's cross the river tonight. ”

"Hmm."

Fortunately, the navy in Qingzhou had already sent the warship to Baimajin in advance.

Jia Xu's eastward marching corps was able to cross the river directly.

Night.

Tens of thousands of troops, divided into three routes, the front, the middle and the rear, crossed the river in turn.

Before that, Jia Xu had doubted it. The enemy's early arrival in Hebei should block the Yellow River, so that the troops in the Central Plains will not be able to rush to Hebei's aid.

But.

He sent people to inspect the river, but he didn't find anything, so he didn't take it to heart.

But now.

The large forces began to cross the river.

Halfway through the walk.

What Jia Xu was worried about finally appeared.

On the dark surface of the river, a large number of lights appeared downstream, heading towards Liyang, not fast, but extremely numerous.

Judging from the area of the lamps, there should be no less than 5,000 people.

"Be careful, there are enemies..."

Zhang Liao was the first to notice it and immediately roared.

Boom boom...

Cannon fired.

The troops who were crossing the river were subjected to a burst of indiscriminate bombardment.

Many ships were overturned.

The soldiers on board also suffered heavy casualties.

Jia Xu watched from the shore, shocked in his heart: "Where did that enemy come from?" How did it suddenly appear on the surface of the river? ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "The last general has sent people to carefully inspect the river, and nothing has been found. ”

"Then how did they show up?"

"This..."

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Hurry up and organize men and horses to block the enemy troops downstream, and you can't let them come." At the same time, Zhang Liao was ordered to quickly cross the river and take cover on the opposite bank. ”

"Sir, you want to force the crossing?"

"For today's plan, the only way to do it is to force it over! If it is delayed, it will be even more disadvantageous to us, because the enemy has already made preparations to block the attack, and there will be a follow-up move. And we are in a hurry to go to Hebei, and we really can't afford to delay. Jia Xu said again: "Hurry up and do what I order!" ”

"No."

Tai Shi Ci sent two regiments of troops, aboard twenty fighting ships, and headed downstream.

The troops on the shore pulled out all the mountain artillery and mortars and fired back downstream.

Boom boom...

Da Da...

Under the command of Tai Shici, all the machine guns fired en masse, with artillery, to suppress the enemy. Moreover, Zhang Liao also sent a force to the battle.

In the process...

Tens of thousands of troops, quickly crossing the river.

Guan Ping, located in Liyang, saw that reinforcements were coming, and he also sent people to respond.

"Hurry, hurry..." Guan Ping sent troops to protect the river and welcome Jia Xu's troops ashore.

"Immediately set up!"

A brigade commander shouted.

He took the machine-gun company of the brigade and ran downstream along the river.

Soon reached the enemy flank.

Although the road is difficult, it is still halfway up the mountain.

But with the range of the machine gun, it was quite possible to shoot at the enemy soldiers on the river.

"Hit!"

Bang bang bang...

More than 30 heavy machine guns, after being erected, fired at the river.

Burst! Burst!

"Ahh The enemy was attacked on many sides, and the situation became severe.

Originally, there were more than forty ships, thirteen fighting ships, and a large number of small ships behind them. Now most of them have retreated, and only the fighting ships are still resisting in front.

But.

They didn't last long.

Because Tai Shi Ci sent twenty fighting ships over, enough for the strength of two regiments, to meet them from the east.

The enemy's guns were all placed to the south, and there was no time to adjust them.

The troops sent by Tai Shici sank four fighting ships with mountain artillery.

The rest hurriedly turned around, but it was still too late.

Boom boom...

Continuous bombardment.

One by one, the fighting ships sank into the water of the Yellow River.

The soldiers on the enemy warship jumped into the river one after another and were swept away by the river.

Even if you can swim, it's useless.

The troops who came to raid and strafed the river were quickly wiped out.

Thousands of the enemy, after the ship was sunk, were defeated one after another.

........

The battle lasted until dawn.

Jia Xu led his troops across the Yellow River and into the city of Liyang.

Rendezvous with Guan Ping's troops.

"Mr. Wenhe, are you alright?" Guan Ping welcomed Jia Xu into the account.

"It's fine."

When he sat down in the tent, Jia Xu said: "General Guan Ping, your father has retreated to Huguan, why didn't you go?" "139 Chinese

"The last general was ordered to garrison Liyang. Before leaving, my father said that he must hold this place and ensure that the troops of the Central Plains cross the Yellow River. If the last general is also gone, Hebei will really be hopeless. Guan Ping said.

"That's a good point."

Jia Xu smiled: "It seems... General Kwan taught a good son.... ”

"Mr. Xie compliments."

"Next, we are going to counterattack Yecheng. Destroy the main force of the enemy. It's an uphill battle. I hope you continue to be stationed in Liyang. I will send you another battalion to assist you. You must ensure that Liyang is not lost. ”

Guan Ping immediately said: "The last general guarantees that Liyang will not be lost!" ”

"Good!"

Jia Xu sent a battalion to Guan Ping.

Nominally commanded by Guan Ping. But considering that Guan Ping does not know how to fight with new weapons, the strength of that battalion is still under the command of the battalion commander.

.............

.............

Pengcheng, Xuzhou. A new round of fighting has begun.

Because Xu Ding sent people to block the defense line, roads, and mountains, the news of the battle of Pengcheng has not been leaked. The 50,000 troops who came to the aid of the enemy, until now, did not know that the troops on the front line had been wiped out.

They are still moving forward, trying to flank the troops on the front line.

The 50,000 troops took up their positions and approached Pengcheng.

Inside the account.

Xu Ding summoned the generals and said, "The enemy 50,000 troops who came to the rescue. It has arrived in Xuzhou. It is expected to arrive within one day. My determination is to destroy them. Not a single one to stay! ”

"Only by winning this battle can we take a good breath..."

"Bong-hyo."

"Yes."

Xu Dingdao: "Tell everyone about my combat strategy." ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia held a manuscript, faced the generals, and said: "This battle is the first battle fought by our first and second armies under the leadership of His Majesty since they met. Therefore, victory is not allowed to lose. ”

"Your Majesty has decided to devote seven divisions of troops, totaling sixty-four thousand...

"The Second Army, the three brigades of the First Division, and all the Second Division, formed a South Road Assault Column and marched eastward along the Dayang Mountains. Occupy the high ground along the way, and stop at the Huangyan Valley, which is fifty miles away. The 1st Army, the 12th, 13th, and 14th Divisions, formed the Northern Assault.... ”

Wait for Jia Xu to finish reading.

All the generals said in unison: "Obey!" ”

Xu Ding gave an order, and all the division and brigade-level generals whose names were read back to the camp to prepare.

Guo Jia stayed.

Xu Ding asked: "Is there any news of Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang?" ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia said: "The minister just received the news that Zhuge Liang was defeated.... ”

"Huaiyin has been lost. Xu Huang, who went to support, had not yet arrived in Huaiyin, and had already retreated to Xiapi. and Liu Bei's troops, stationed together in Xiapi. ”

"That's fine..."

Xu Ding didn't worry too much.

The enemy is strong, and Zhuge Liang is superior in strategy, but without weapons, it will not work. The soldiers and horses brought by Xu Huang are not very strong in combat. How can only two brigades stop the enemy?

As long as you hold Xiapi and wait for the battle of Pengcheng to end, it will not be too late to rush to help.

"You immediately send a letter to Zhuge Liang, asking him to keep the next batch. If necessary, you can dig up Surabaya.... Xu Dingdao.

Surabaya is not far from Hapi.

Once the Surabaya is excavated, the entire city of Xiapi will be flooded.

Guo Jia exclaimed: "Your Majesty, it is best not to use this trick until the last resort. ”

"Why? Isn't it time for the last resort? Once the enemy captures Xiapi, most of Xuzhou will fall into the hands of the enemy. At that time, Xuzhou will be over. ”

Xu Ding waved his hand and said, "I have already thought about this matter carefully, you don't need to persuade it again." ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia drafted the order and stamped it with a large seal.

Send people to the front.

Next.

The South Assault Column and the North and Middle Assault Columns, totaling 70,000 men, launched a ferocious offensive against the 50,000 enemy troops on the opposite side.

The enemy is also preparing.

They are trying to inquire about the situation on the front line, but they have not been able to contact Ju'an, Tuyuan, and Yunyu.

50,000 troops held the hill and built solid fortifications.

Until noon on this day.

Xu Ding's 70,000 troops, with their forward troops, exchanged fire.

A fierce tug-of-war has officially begun.

Though...

The weapons are not as good as those of the Western Shang Empire, but the number of soldiers is 20,000 more than the enemy.

In terms of people, Huaxia has an advantage.

The front is lively.

Xu Ding was not idle.

He was lying in the main hall of Pengcheng Mansion, with his eyes closed, using the satellite monitoring system to check the situation on the battlefield.

Soon.

He discovered a phenomenon.

The enemy's artillery, all assumed dead ends at high places.

Shoot at the rear of the battlefield.

The middle assault column and the north assault column sent by Guo Jia were beaten in chaos in the rear. And the assault column on the southern route, the progress was slow, and the artillery could not reach the enemy's artillery.

This resulted in a great advantage for the enemy in terms of geographical advantages.

"If it goes on like this, it's okay for a short time. But after a long time, there will definitely be huge casualties. Xu Ding opened his eyes and called Dian Wei in.

"You go and pass my order, let Jia Heng lead the special forces of the Wind Forest Volcano, go around to the east, and climb up from the cliff. Destroy the enemy's artillery! Xu Dingdao.

"No."

Since the last war, Fenglin Volcano has been recuperating in Pengcheng.

They are hungry for another big win.

This is a great opportunity.

After Jia Heng received the order, he asked the special forces to prepare weapons and ammunition and set off in fifteen minutes.

During these fifteen minutes, he came to Xu Ding's camp and inquired about the battle.

Xu Dingdao: "The enemy's artillery is erected on the mountain. I don't know how I got it. It is estimated that the parts were dismantled and assembled on the mountain. He can directly shell all the troops on our outer front. It will take a huge toll on us. ”

"Therefore, I sent you to destroy their artillery."

Jia Heng asked: "I don't know where the artillery is?" ”

"Come and see..." Xu Ding pointed to the map next to him: "It's here." "Xu Ding, according to the satellite monitoring system, indicated the area where the enemy's artillery was present.

Jia Heng arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within two hours, the last general will definitely win." ”

"Well, go ahead. I await your good news. ”

"The last will obey."

Jia Heng set out with the Wind Forest Volcano.

Go around to the east side and climb up.

The technique of rock climbing is a compulsory course for special forces.

It was supposed that they should have been specially trained to climb a few more times before they could carry out this task. But there is no time now. The battle situation needs special forces to go.

They can only bite the bullet.

Arrived at the back cliff.

Jia Heng waved his hand.

Four special forces, with ropes tied to their bodies, climbed towards the cliff.

One of them, halfway through the climb, couldn't bear the weight of the rope and fell.

Touch!

He fell onto a boulder and died instantly.

However, during the fall, he did not scream or make any noise. Until death, it is quiet.

Jia Heng ran over quickly, mourned for a few seconds, untied the rope from his body, and handed it to another soldier. The soldier tied the rope and continued to climb.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

All four special forces climbed to the top, tied the ropes to a firm place, and lowered them.

Jia Heng breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand. Wind, forest, fire, and mountain, divided into four teams, each team uses a rope to climb to the top of the mountain in turn.

The process is tragic.

Many special forces are not suitable for rock climbing.

Three of them were about to crawl to the ground, but their feet slipped and fell to their deaths.

Fortunately, they are highly qualified and know that they cannot make any noise when performing tasks. Even if you want to die, you have to keep your mouth shut.

Jia Heng also told them that if anyone fouled during the mission, they would be severely punished. If you die, your family will be guilty as well.

And if you obey discipline and die in the line of duty, your family will become the family of the martyr and be taken care of by the government.
