Chapter Twenty-Three: Seeing the Tiger Rise from the East of the River (Part I)

The so-called ambush strategy from all sides is just that when facing an opponent with extremely strong combat effectiveness, it is really difficult to win head-to-head, and then you have to choose to block layer by layer, reduce layer by layer, and the final blow is fatal.

To put it bluntly, it is to use or create a narrow battlefield environment to solve the opponent with a disguised wheel war.

Needless to say, the narrow and narrow battlefield naturally exists in the narrow strip between the extremely large camp of the Yuan army and the city wall of Handan City, in fact, this is also the fundamental reason why Xin Ping put forward this strategy, but considering that Guan Yu cannot bring too many people around the city, and the space in the narrow strip is not large enough, so the troops invested by both sides at one time cannot be too much, although the Yuan army is powerful, it also needs to be divided into dozens of units to act, and each unit is just a selected team of 1,000 people.

At this time, with the waving of the flags in the camp, these dozens of troops who had been on standby for a long time poured out, and after coming to the fence of the camp, they entered a state of imminent battle, but they immediately alarmed the defenders on the city wall.

Beside the condescending trial, a sergeant waved a yellow flag in an instant...... The flag is passed layer by layer, which is clearly telling Guan Yu that there is an ambush, don't come!

But......

"General Guan turned a deaf ear and has already passed the south gate." A military official came to report with a panicked face. "Prime Minister, what should I do?"

The judge who was standing on the head of Dongcheng City with a black face was looking at the reinforcements outside the range of the attack, but he was too lazy to speak...... Of course, he knew the questions of the military officer, and knew that the other party was very incomprehensible in his heart, that is, why did Guan Yu have to attack?

Of course, there are many reasons not to attack - the earth mountain cannot be built in a day, the auxiliary troops can be dispersed and can be regathered, and even if the earth mountain is built, it may not really squeeze the foundation of the city wall and cause damage...... Not to mention that the ambush is already obvious.

However, they didn't seem to take into account that this was a strategic response, Guan Yu didn't need to have the ability to demolish Tushan, as long as he could reach here with this kind of force and retreat with his whole body, it would directly prove that this method of building Tushan was meaningless for attacking the city, and it also proved that Yuan Jun couldn't stop him Guan Yu outside the city...... Doesn't the earth mountain need manpower and material resources? It doesn't cost to mobilize the people, but if there is no result, won't it hurt morale? Not this time, next time? Believe it or not, go down a few times and the reinforcements will arrive!

On the other hand, if the earth and mountains are fortified, the city can certainly increase the facilities on the city wall, and the ants are really attached to the siege of the city, and the city has already been prepared, but what does this have to do with him Guan Yunchang?

How many years have passed, I am still so arrogant, I still like to be greedy for power, and I still don't want to lose to others!

"What does the subordinate mean, in addition to the archers on the city wall to help, do you want to send troops out of the city to support?" Seeing that the judge's face was getting worse and worse, the officer quickly and wisely gave up the answer, and then continued to ask.

"The gates must be prepared, and if there is discord, they will be opened immediately." The judge breathed in a somewhat dull air and replied in a slightly dull tone. "Regardless of the rest, the two of us have a word first, the affairs outside the city are his, and the affairs inside the city are mine...... He wants to be a hero, and he will do it himself! ”

The military officials had already heard that the country was angry, and if they dared to say more, they hurried to take the order and leave.

And just when Guan Yu crossed the south gate and continued to go east, at the same time, although Yuan Jun was ready, he did not rush to send troops, but let Guan Yu go all the way to Dongcheng...... Obviously, they were a little worried that sending troops too early would make Guan Yu retreat, so they were ready to let go for a while and put the killing move on the return trip.

However, Guan Yunchang was also keenly aware of this, and he also slowed down with the trend, and walked forward along the front of the city without hurry.

In the south of Handan City, Xin Ping, the central general on the stage, turned his head to look at the sun that had sunk in the west on his side, and after wiping his sweaty face, his face was gloomy.

"Brother Zhongzhi," Guo Tu on the side seemed to have woken up. "Guan Yunchang should have learned that there were ambush soldiers from Zhengnan at the head of the city, which is delaying time...... He only sent troops in the afternoon, and he had just passed the north gate at this time, and if he waited for him to enter but it was already dark, I was afraid that he would not take the opportunity to get out. ”

"I see." Xin Ping's face was worse than the trial match on the head of the city. "When it gets dark, there will inevitably be chaos, and their generation can naturally take advantage of the chaos to leave, and there is so much labor in this war, as long as they don't die, we will be defeated...... Guan Yu is really as frustrated as Gonghe said, and Gongsun Wenqi is unique, seemingly arrogant and reckless, but in fact he is extremely cunning! ”

"It's not all." Guo Tu continued to persuade. "The lord guards the east of the earth mountain, and let Brother Zhongzhi lead the ten departments in the north of the city to command the main camp here, but let Chen Gongtai lead the ten departments in the east of the city to help him, let's not explain that it is Brother Zhongzhi's strategy but let Chen Gongtai lead half of the matter...... It's just that with Guan Yunchang's cunning, if he is dragged by his people until it gets dark before he arrives at Tushan, and then withdraws, it's hard to say whether the ten elites of Brother Zhongzhi will have time to participate in the war, right? On the contrary, Chen Gongtai dominates the ten, and the building near the water gets the moon first! In my opinion, it is only right to send troops to block the north gate first to ensure that the back road is blocked, and then send troops to weaken the layers of the party! ”

Xin Ping looked at the sky, and gritted his teeth: "Don't hide the rules, the foolish brother is not afraid of being robbed of the credit by Chen Gongtai, after all, if there is a foolish brother and I in Chengdu, I am afraid that the matter will not work, and it will be a shame, and it will be difficult to escape the blame for affecting the plan of Ming Gong...... Think about it, if Guan Yu escaped this time, then we will be deflated by attacking the city this time? ”

"Send troops!" After that, without waiting for Guo Tu to say anything, Xin Zhongzhi simply sent an order to the Lingyu guards beside him. "Let Wu Anguo send troops to stop it...... Tell him that as long as his two parts can be slightly blocked, there is no need to force them to stay; Let Yu Ban send troops again, and tell Yu Wenze that in today's battle, as long as his three elites block the north gate, do not let Guan Yunchang withdraw, and do not let the reinforcements from the south of the trial come out of the north gate, no matter whether Guan Yunchang is obtained by him or not, he will be the first merit. ”

And with the order of his people, the flag was waved on the side, and the order was given through the flag, and on the other hand, the Lingyu guards personally rode away, and it was appropriate to teach the opportunity.

Guan Yunchang saw that the two camps in front of him and behind him suddenly sent troops together, and the battle was strictly forbidden, not like the ordinary, but he was neither shocked nor angry, but sneered, regardless of the big flag of Yu behind him, nor did he greet the main force behind him, but went straight to speed up, leading dozens of horsemen and guards to rush towards the big flag embroidered with the word "Qianwu'an" in front of the right...... And the Wu'an State Department was ordered to go out of the camp, originally preparing to let his two subordinates take turns to go to the city with a big shield to block the other party with restrictions, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that the enemy general was actually anti-guest, and he first came straight towards himself with dozens of horses, which was also a little flustered!

However, Wu Anguo, who is the leader, is a famous general in Beihai, and Beihai can be preserved in the case of the chaos in Qingzhou and the rampant yellow turbans, and it is almost all maintained by his people, so the most basic quality is still there.

As a result, his men immediately shouted and gave orders, trying to straighten out their soldiers...... This scene was clearly glimpsed by Guan Yu from a distance, but he sneered more and more, and then reined in his horse again and accelerated, leading the personal guard knight to pounce on this person.

Guan Yun is nine feet long, with a long beard and a red face, and he is naturally majestic, and the mount under his crotch at this time is the white divine horse stolen by Pan Zhang in the past...... And the first reaction in the panic is to avoid it one after another!

Looking at the past from the top of the city, looking at the rammed earth general platform on the front line of the Yuan army, which has been raised a lot in height, Guan Yunchang took the lead, and the left and right guards and knights separated the road, as if something had jumped into the wheat field that is common in autumn in Hebei today.

That Wu Anguo is already thirty-five this year, barely half a horse, but how could he have encountered such a strange scene? And seeing that Guan Yunchang actually forced directly in front of him through the countless soldiers under him in an instant, his first reaction was not to raise a spear, but to open his mouth to say something...... But Guan Yun's long horse was extremely fast, and the other party had already rushed in front of him before he could make a sound, Wu Anguo was caught off guard, and he was stabbed directly under the horse by the other party with a spear!

He was Chinese New Year's Eve and 5 years old.

Immediately, among the guards cavalry who came behind him, Pan Zhangwu jumped off his horse, cut off Wu Anguo's head, and then tied it to Guan Yu's divine horse with his own hands...... Only then did he calmly get on the horse, and slowly returned to the army with the expressionless Guan Yu.

And the soldiers who followed Wu Anguo left and right were still dumbfounded until this time, and in fear, they actually let the other party return calmly, but after a while, before the selected 800 foot soldiers and 200 cavalry rushed in, they scattered like birds and beasts...... Two divisions of 2,000 people, only three or four hundred people just left the camp, were beheaded and raided when they came up, and then fled in confusion without a fight.

In fact, it's just them, because it's not just them, the people in the city, inside and outside the camp, are all dumbfounded.

Russia, as the Wu'an State Department dispersed back to the camp, Guan Yu took the head of Wu'an State to lead the crowd to the city calmly, and under the encouragement of the Handan defenders in the city, they actually blew trumpets, beat drums, rolled flags and shouted; However, Xin Ping and Guo Tu, who were on the stage of the Chinese army, were stunned and speechless.

Everyone knows that Guan Yunchang is very strong, whether it is the importance of General Wei Gongsun Xun to him, or the admiration of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, or the memory of this person in Hebei in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is unmistakable that this person is very strong. In addition, there is also a performance of Zhang Fei in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, so no one has despised him, otherwise there would be no such ambush strategy on all sides!

However, it is also jaw-dropping to be tough enough to do this...... In the midst of the chaos, he rushed straight to the enemy general, beheaded and returned, and retreated, as if entering a no-man's land.

Of course, in the encounter, one side is raiding and the other side is unprepared, which is the case, it can only be said that Guan Yunchang has a stronger psychological quality, more clever means, more courage, and a greater grasp of people's hearts...... A few of them create a qualitative gap.

"Gentlemen," Guan Yu reined in and returned to the battle, not in a hurry, but raised his voice in front of him to the selected thousand soldiers. "The strategy of their generation has been fully revealed, it is nothing more than to want to block us layer by layer on the narrow road, but the brave man wins when the narrow road meets, and our army moves forward bravely...... Therefore, although the thieves are numerous, they are not enough to worry about; Although the thief is brave, he just inserts the label and sells the first! Please also don't care about the people behind you, you will continue to move forward, you will open the way for you, and you will be at peace for you, so you can move forward! ”

The 1,000 Chaoge soldiers, together with the crossbowmen who were originally going to come to the aid in the city, cheered again when they heard this, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Guan Yu killed Wu Anguo, hung his head under the horse, and continued to lead the troops along the city wall with spears to the east, still not in a hurry, regardless of how to raise the shield and stand in the formation behind him, and how to pile up debris in front of the city gate to block, not to mention how many ambushes and obstacles there will be in front of him.

"There is indeed a posture of the king of non-war crimes...... and on the other side, Xin Ping was stunned for a long time on the stage, but he laughed for a while, and then he was immediately solemn. But as long as it's a human being, I don't believe that he can't be killed! Pass on the matter of Captain Wu'an, and let all the generals be careful of this person's raid technique! Then let Li Jin and Cheng Wu prepare to send troops in turn, two under Cheng Wu and three under Li Jin, taking turns to attack...... Tell them that they don't care about Guan Yu, as long as they can join forces to cut off the number of his people, they can be regarded as fulfilling their duties...... Hurry up! ”

In the end, he lost his usual elegant posture and became hideous.

The surrounding military officials did not dare to slack off, and they all sent the message again, and the knights also galloped one after another, and told them in person.

In other words, Li Jin and Cheng Wu in front heard the envoy talk about Wu Anguo's fate, and they received military orders, but their scalps were numb...... Others don't know, Li Jin really knows Guan Yu's ability, and although Cheng Wu himself doesn't know, he trusts his father very much.

But no matter what, now that the military order has been issued, they have no choice but to prepare to send troops, five thousand people, in turn, and then with a drum sound, taking advantage of the halfway line of Guan Yu's headquarters, they opened the camp gate and rushed out in turn according to the agreed order.

However, the camp was in front, and Cheng Wu, who took the lead in sending troops, had a careful thought, where did he dare to try to cut half of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses? It's just going to the tail of the 1,000 soldiers, according to his thoughts, it is enough to cut the number of eleven, thank God, as for the completion of the military order, isn't there still Li Jin and Li Zhi?

This man has a big face and hard shoulders, many soldiers and a strong family, so let him resist.

So, as Cheng Wu took the lead in sending troops, he took the lead in sending a thousand people, and really went straight to the tail of Guan Yu's troops, and when this part of the soldiers and horses rushed over the city wall with a big shield and came to the city to engage in the battle, he personally led the troops out of the last group of 1,000 elites to respond...... The plan was very good, but unexpectedly, Guan Yu in front saw that he was attacked behind him, although only a few troops in the tail were attacked, but he was desperate and directly led the cavalry in front to turn back.

Cheng Wu was helpless in his heart, and even more timid, but Ji Yongzhu didn't dare to retreat easily because of the whole family the day before yesterday, and in desperation, he finally had an idea, and actually ordered the guards to throw down the flag, and then dismounted and mixed into the troops, and charged by himself!

And as Guan Yu led the front army to arrive, he simply took the lead in fleeing backwards, the two soldiers and horses were leaderless, and they were in a mess, Guan Yun rushed away, and naturally fled with the trend.

On the stage, looking from a distance from the perspective of Xin Ping and Guo Tu, I saw Cheng Wu's two troops rushing out, first just cutting their tails in a hurry, and then as soon as Guan Yu turned around, Cheng Wu was in a mess, there was not even a formation, and the flag was thrown away at some point, unable to command, and then it was a rout of course...... In this case, there seems to be nothing to say except to scold this person.

However, Li Jin climbed on the fence and saw this scene from afar, in the increasingly sultry heat, he gasped in his heart - sympathy, where could he not see Cheng Wu's self-preservation? However, Cheng Wu, a newcomer who went out on behalf of his father, could be defeated so embarrassed, how could he retire as a famous Yanzhou general?

Who believes?

If he really did the same, he was afraid that Yuan Benchu would kill him and his brother Li Gan when he went back, and by the way, he sent 20,000 or 30,000 people to raid his home and copy back all the losses in this battle...... No way, this is really no way, the big and powerful family is so helpless, don't look at the usual martial arts, there are countless private soldiers, but the bigger the family, the easier it is to be subject to the real strong.

After all, a witch can't run away from the witch temple! Gongsun Xun's sentence that day is still in my ears, and since then, the Jiyin Li clan can be as low-key as possible, after the troubled times, don't say that they are swaying from side to side like another time and space, trying to stand on their own, it is simply a model of not making trouble in the three states under Yuan Shao! can be called hard work, so Yuan Shao is very valued.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Huizhi had no choice but to turn around and beckon his three subordinates, that is, the three thousand clan disciples, ready to desperately eat half of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses!

"Wait for Guan Yunchang to pass this camp, and go first." Li Jin jumped off the fence and commanded. "Lead a thousand soldiers to his waist! Then the fifth brother went again, still a thousand soldiers, straight to the end...... If Guan Yu comes back to help, I will lead my own troops to deserve it! As soon as you succeed, retreat and leave me alone. ”

The so-called whole child is Li Qian's eldest son, Li Quan, who is also Li Jin's nephew, who has just been crowned this year, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is my uncle so jealous of this person?" It's just a colleague in the old days, is it invulnerable to martial arts? Our 3,000 soldiers are all soldiers of the clan who are good at fighting, and with three attacks on one, even if the other party has his back against the city wall, has some support, and has a stubborn resistance, it may not be impossible to win, right? According to me, there is no need to let him go to the Che Cavalry General, and directly destroy this person, our Li clan will enjoy its merits alone, won't the people of the world dare not underestimate our Jiyin Li clan from now on? ”

Li Jin looked at his nephew, who was majestic but didn't know the height of the sky, and only felt that the other party was very much like himself when he was young, so he was sad for a while, but he slowly shook his head, and then looked at the other person: "Fifth brother, later, you will send troops to hit his waist first, and let the whole child hit his tail......"

Li Quan's face changed greatly, and he was about to say more, but there was already a noisy sound of marching outside the camp, but Li Huizhi lowered his face, but he simply ordered the troops, and Li Cheng could only retreat.

A moment later, as the fence of the camp was put together, a thousand soldiers and horses took the lead in jumping out of the camp, and they actually rushed straight to Guan Yu's front army, and the person at the head was Li Quan!

Sima, another veteran of the clan, reluctantly turned his head to look at Li Jin, and Li Jin sighed, so he had to pick up his spear and get on his horse to save his nephew who didn't know the height of the sky.
