Chapter 1003: The Horn of the Counterattack

(Thanks to Brother Y, Brother Dashan and Brother Ye Ku for their monthly passes, thanks to Y for the reward)

As soon as the Yan Army Flying Tiger Army arrived on the Yangtze River, Gan Xingba's first shot was already very amazing, the Yan Army Navy with the most advanced warships today firmly suppressed the Yangzhou Navy in the water village, and the control of the waterway was also held by Gan Ning, and the army attached great importance to reconnaissance, the Flying Tiger Army's patrol ships were sent upstream for one hundred and fifty miles, and several places conducive to landing on the shore were strictly monitored, according to Pang Tong's previous strategic concept, Since Liu Xuande didn't cross the river before the arrival of the Flying Tiger Army, then the Yan Army would not give him such an opportunity again, at least make it difficult for him to complete it independently. The attacks of the Flying Tiger Army have brought heavy blows to the Yangzhou Army Water Village almost every day, but Xu Sheng and Zhang Yun are shrinking more and more in this situation, and there is no sign of the hidden forces of the other party, including the Jingnan Water Army, which Gan Ning expected, of course, these are probably just appearances.

As for Hanzhong, Cao Jun's attack on Hanzhong City has also entered the most intense stage, the Yan Army's equipment battalion has earned enough impression points for its debut, and after paying huge losses and having a certain grasp of its tactics and tactical characteristics, Cao Jun also quickly made various responses, plus defending the city is not as good as attacking the city, the resources in the hands of Zhang Hu and Zhang Liao cannot be endless, once the resources are limited, the equipment battalion will inevitably be greatly affected! According to General Wen Yuan's words, now is the real battle between the two armies, in the past few days, the Cao army has shown great confidence and courage in the siege, and the tactical organization and timing have also improved, so that the Yanyun army, which has always been known for its good defense, inevitably fell into a bitter battle, fighting day and night.

Three days ago, another ace tiger guard army of the Yan army led by Zhang He had arrived at Yangping Pass, but although the battle was in full swing in Hanzhong, Jun Yi maintained great calm, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Guard army regained their physical strength at the pass, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking in the short term. Zhang He knew very well in his heart that with Zhang Liaozhi's ability and Yanyun's army's army of Chang'an's camp, Hanzhong City would be safe for a while, with this premise, as long as the Tiger Guard Army reached the pass, it would pose a threat to Cao's army, and it might be more advantageous to maintain the potential pressure without fighting than to directly join the battlefield! If you don't come out, you will have merit, this is Junyi's requirement for himself, and once the Tiger Guard Battalion wants to join the Hanzhong battlefield, Ma Chao's Chang'an Battalion will become their right-hand man, and Meng Qi is also on Yangping Pass at this time.

On the same day, the two tigers fought against Dian Wei and lost both of them, and the injury was still quite serious, although Ma Chao's injury was a little better than that of Dian Wei with the help of the young man and Wang Xinran's elixir, but after that, he had been spending time in the confrontation with Cao Jun, even if there was no too fierce confrontation between the two armies, but the kind of battlefield to check the enemy and expect the enemy would also greatly hurt the energy of the main general, how could these consumption be placed in the heart of Xiliang Jinma Chao in peacetime? But after being seriously injured, it may not be, the first step of Cao's army to attack Hanzhong City was to break the Yan army's corners, and the Sizhou battalion had to retreat step by step under the enemy's strong force, but the retreat was only a tactical detour, Ma Chao Pang De and all the cavalry soldiers had to be prepared to raid Cao's army in order to respond to Hanzhong.

Heavy injuries and the hard work between retreat and advance, even if he is as strong as Meng Qi, he can not stand it, but before Zhang Hehu's guards arrived, he could not have a moment of relaxation, Pang De's extraordinary martial arts and the army had a law, but after all, he could not replace the position of General Shenweitian in the Sizhou camp, Ma Chao also had to hold on, only after Jun Yi came, he could relax a little and go to Yangping Pass to recuperate, of course, this injury is only one of the aspects, How to cooperate with the Tiger Guards and effectively contain Cao's army to ease the pressure on Hanzhong City is also the key at this time.

Yan Army's ace Tiger Guard, Yan Wang's favorite general Zhang Junyi, their strength is not dared to be ignored by any prince in the world, and there is also the assistance of Ma Chao Sizhou Battalion by his side, when Zhang He made a momentum and put on a posture of advancing at any time, Cao Cao also had to maintain the pressure on Hanzhong City while giving it enough attention, in addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers who had previously monitored Ma Chao's cavalry, and mobilized a lot of people from all over the rear to come, and was personally led by the general Xiahoudun to deal with Zhang He's offensive, In this way, the southern part of Hanzhong and other places that were previously taken seemed quite empty, but the Yan army was all gathered in the north of Hanzhong, and in the eyes of Cao Cao and a group of advisers, the rear should be assured! At this time, they naturally didn't know that Zhang Hema Chao made such a momentum and asked them to respond like this, three days ago, the fifteen thousand tiger guards led by Wei Yan had already received Zhang Hu's military order to enter the Meridian Valley, and their soldiers pointed to the place where the Cao army's hundreds of thousands of troops were stored, Micang Mountain!

Ganning Flying Tiger Army suppressed the Yangzhou Navy is Liu Yi's first move to Liu Bei, Hanzhong Wei Yanqi's attack on the Meridian Valley has been implemented, after a period of planning in the early stage, the counterattack of the Yan army has been launched across the board, in order to cooperate with the counterattack of the Yan army in the second place of Xu Yang in Hanzhong, on the eighth day of February in the second year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, the Yan army Tiger Prison guard general Yellow Shirt Army commander Zhang Yan led 50,000 troops out of the Tiger Prison, they will implement the Yan King's strategy of attacking Jingxiang with the cooperation of Hou Cheng's more than 10,000 cavalry troops to Yiyang, an important town in the north of Jingzhou. The defenders of Cao's army here were only 4,000.

At the same time, the general headquarters of the Yan Army, Anyuan Village, which had been silent for a long time, also became extremely lively at this time, Liu Yi was wearing a golden helmet in the handsome tent, wearing a familiar copper and gold leaf armor, and a golden robe set off his majestic body was even more majestic, and there was a general beside him who was also wearing a helmet and a military uniform, seeing that the figure was not under the Yan King, his face was black and yellow, his face was full of steel hair upside down, and there was an awe-inspiring color between his eyes, it was the commander of the Yan Army's Iron Cavalry Battalion Heavy Cavalry Battalion Wen Chouwen Gongheng. And seeing King Yan in such a costume, all the soldiers were excited in their hearts, they had a battle to fight, and the general had to go into the battle formation in person, and I don't know how long I hadn't seen his majesty in the battle array.

"The king, the military division, General Wen, according to the latest military information, General Zhang He led the Sizhou battalion of the Tiger Guard Army to launch a counterattack on the Cao army Xiahoudun in the Linqu area, General Zhang Yan led the Yellow Shirt Battalion and the Bingzhou Battalion to have arrived here, this military intelligence subordinates can only be obtained two days ago, according to their marching speed, they can launch an offensive against Yiyang within two days! General Wei Yan's headquarters is in the Meridian Valley for the time being, but according to the advance agreement, it can also reach the middle section, and there will be four to five days to get out of the valley road to attack Micang Mountain, where Cao's army has hoarded grain and grass, so that according to the Tian'er Detective Report, Jingnan Sun Ce with Zhou Yu as the commander dispatched 50,000 naval forces and hundreds of warships down the river, and its purpose seems to be on the front line of the Lujiang River, and the follow-up is still being explored...... "Liu Yi, Wen Chou, Guo Jia, and Guan Hai are listening to the analysis and deduction of the overall battle situation by the Heavenly Wolf Staff Officer in front of the sand table. Langsheng never does anything fancy, and this form has become the practice of Yan Jun.

"Sun Bofu, in the end is still here, according to this, I am afraid that the day when Liu Xuande crosses the river will not be far away, the enemy is taking advantage of the situation, iron mouth and steel teeth, Zhuge Liang is really good, there is no news of General Zhang Ronger of Xuanlang of Fangshan Branch, according to the previous discussion, they should have gone to Liuhe Water Village a long time ago......" Hearing Sun Ce's name, Lang Sheng's eyebrows shrugged slightly, and under such a battle situation, the little overlord still couldn't hold back, once the naval army led by Zhou Yu joined the battle, the control of the Yangtze River waterway would not be fully controlled by Gan Ning, I am afraid that Liu Bei's Yangzhou army will also cross the river at any time, and at this time, the Fangshan branch will come as the biggest backup for Xingba, but the command has not received any information here in the past two days.

"Back to the king, there is no news of the two generals Xuan and Zhang for the time being." The return of the staff officer is very concise, Yan Jun has always been careful in arranging the transmission of information, and there must be some accident in this situation now, but these are not things that he should analyze and infer as a staff officer.

"King Yan, Xuanlang Zhang Rong has always been a powerful general for our army's navy, this news delay is afraid that most of it is related to the high wind and waves at sea, and it has always been unpredictable here, but the two generals are both experienced in traveling to and from Dahan Island many times and marching at sea, when there will be no big loss, at this time, I want to come to Wen and Shiyuan and the second general have their own way, and the news should be coming soon." Seeing that King Yan's eyebrows were slightly frowned, Guo Jia said on the side, shipping has extremely high requirements for the weather, but it is extremely unpredictable.

"Well, Zhou Yu's navy immediately increased in strength as soon as it joined forces with the Yangzhou army, Xingba has the power to fight with the entire Flying Tiger army in his hands, and he saw Sun Ce join the battle and send Zhou Gongjin here to think more than the second brother's navy, if it can be defeated or killed too much, the Jingnan navy can also run rampant on the Yangtze River waterway, and Jingnan Jiaozhou is one more protection, but the plan is very deep, and the meaning of the lonely and Shiyuan Wenhe, if Liu Bei crosses the river without trying to stop, the battle of the Flying Tiger Army must also be stable, If he comes, he will let Gongming and General Koji Yi contain it first, and when Lone is free in this Yanzhou place, he will personally go to meet him for a while. As soon as Liu Yi said this, Guo Jiawen and Guan Hai and the others all smiled slightly, Yan Wang has also been holding back for too long, in the final analysis, it is still the most suitable style for Liu Yi in the battle array, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can indeed make them excited.

In fact, Liu Yi didn't want to kill Liu Guan and Zhang the three brothers together in the battle of Motianling, the problem was that it was difficult for him to do this at that time, and the power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was also difficult to contend with, and now Liu Bei has taken a path that is very different from that in another time and space, but compared to his innumerable strength in the same period, Wen Youge, Lu Xun, Chen Deng, Kuai Liang and other virtuous ministers set up a plan to govern the government, and Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wen Ping, Chen Dao, Guan Ping and other generations charged into battle, With nearly 200,000 troops under his command, he owns the rich land of Yangzhou, and its manpower and material resources are only under Cao Cao, and in these two years, the expansion of Liu Bei's forces and the development of his territory are not afraid of Yandi. This talent is not under Cao Cao, and now he is like a fish in water, so he can't sit back and watch like this!

"Hehe, although Liu Bei has the heart to cross the river to fight, at this time, Zhou Gongjin, who is valued by the king, has already personally led the army to come, but in the eyes of Kong Ming and others, if the Jingnan naval army does not make achievements in the battle with the second general's department, I am afraid that Liu Xuande may not dare to cross the river with peace of mind, and the best thing about it is that Xingba's department and Zhou Yu are both defeated. The king praised Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Gongjin's talents, and this time it depends on whether these two can work together. Guo Jiazhen took the lead, mentioning Zhou Yu and Kong Ming's cooperation, but his tone was aggravated, as if he was referring to something!

"Working together? I'm afraid it's extremely difficult here, the two are just a union of interests, and at this time they haven't felt the pain of the skin, and the previous war has not been smoothed out, they may indeed be able to work together to deal with the Flying Tiger Army of Xingba, but with Wen and Shiyuan's plan, the second brother is not afraid to unify the army, Xu Yang seems to be the Sun and Liu families joining forces, and our army also has a lot of uses. This time, Liu Yi pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said slowly.
