Chapter 294: The Battle of Waterlogging, the First Battle
The pontoon bridge was completed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn the waterlogged river, a full ten pontoon bridges floated on the water that was gentle with the current.
If the load-bearing capacity of the pontoon bridges is not taken into account, the ability of these ten pontoon bridges to pass troops is not much worse than that on gentle land. If it is really used, it is only less than 30% slower than the normal march.
So, Cao De clapped his hands, okay, it's our turn to attack.
It took Cao De only half a month to build these ten pontoon bridges. However, in the past half a month, Li Daoke would launch an attack on Ganting City almost every day. But there was no way, when there was only the blade battalion defending the city, Li Dao had no way to use the strong defense of the blade battalion, and after the Gudun battalion also entered Ganting City, Li Dao was even more uncomfortable.
How can there be such a dense rain of arrows? There is not the slightest gap, there is not the slightest blind spot.
Almost every time, Guo sent a siege force of 2,000 men. But when the siege force of 2,000 people rushed to the city of Ganting, the remaining half of the people were considered good. Then when the siege did not go well and the retreat, the rain of arrows came again. In the end, only six or seven hundred of them made it back to the camp alive.
However, what made Li Dao even more angry was that every time his siege troops withdrew. Cao De's army in the city would send a cavalry to draw a saber on the side of the battlefield and wait quietly. Then a detachment of infantry went out of the city. They swaggered and pulled out the arrow they had just shot from the ground, loaded it into a cart, and pulled it back to the city. Fix it, tidy it up, and use it next time.
However, what made Guo Yan most unbearable was that Cao Dejun, who came out of the city, actually sent the soldiers of Li Daojun, who were not yet dead, to the vicinity of Li Daojun's camp. As for the body that was already cold, Cao Dejun also returned it to Li Dao.
It's a psychological tactic. Let the soldiers of Li Daojun's army see how arrogant we are, how merciful we are, and how much we respect the warriors who died in battle!
Li Dao had no choice, in order to retain the morale of the army. Li Dao had to go all out to treat the wounded soldiers who were not yet dead. Moreover, this is also a burden that Xu Shu gave to Li Wei.
Every time the army went out on an expedition, it brought Langzhong and all kinds of medicines. Use a little less for a little less. When Li Dao has no medicine available and can no longer continue to treat the wounded soldiers, it means that Li Dao has already lost half of his life.
Li Dao can't afford to spend it anymore, he has to attack with all his might. And Cao De could no longer give Li Dao the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.
So, Cao De struck.
Although Li Dao's army on the east bank of Fengshui came to the city of Juxian, but without Li Dao's command, their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning.
If you don't work, it's a good way to save your life.
Cao De attacked, but in order to prevent Li Daojun's army in the east of Juxian from taking advantage of the opportunity to play tricks, he still left the spear battalion and the sword battalion in Juxian.
Therefore, Cao De rode to the west bank of the waterlogged water with the white tiger. However, Cao De still left Xiahou Yuan in Juxian.
On this day, when Li Wei was thinking about how to gnaw the iron bone of Ganting, a soldier suddenly came to report, "General Qiqi!" The rebels in Ganting City are out of the city! ”
Li Dao was shocked, "How many people!" ”
"10,000 infantry, 40,000 cavalry!"
Li Dao thought about it, Cao De is going to fight me in a decisive battle. At the beginning, after Li Dao gathered the soldiers scattered in various places, he rushed to the city of Ganting with an army of 80,000. Although he suffered heavy losses after several sieges, Guo Yan still has an army of nearly 70,000 people. In terms of troops, Li Dao not only has no disadvantage, but also occupies a slight advantage.
However, Li Dao still felt a little uneasy. Therefore, Li Dao immediately said to the two generals below, "You each bring 10,000 cavalry and find a place on both sides of our army to ambush." ”
"No!" The two men immediately turned around and went out.
These two people are partial generals that Li Dao has taken with him since Liangzhou, so Li Dao is very relieved of their loyalty, so Li Dao handed over his back road to them.
After the two of them left, Li Dao stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, and follow me with 50,000 troops to meet Cao De!" ”
"No!"
————
"Lord, look, that Li Dao is out!" Xu Shu smiled and pointed to Li Daojun, who was driving out of the camp, and said.
"Well, Li Dao, although he has no big plans, he is strict in governing the army!" Cao De looked at Li Daojun, who was unhurriedly and methodically lined up in formation, and said with praise.
At this time, Ma Chao, who was staying by Cao De's side, said: "Uncle is too long for the enemy's morale!" ”
"Haha, Chao'er, you have to remember. It is necessary to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. In every big battle or small battle, you have to pay attention to your enemies. First of all, it is necessary to consider the worst aspects, so as to avoid accidents as much as possible and reduce the losses after accidents! ”
"Chao'er has written it down!" Ma Chao said to Cao De with a fist.
"Good, good strategy, good tactic!" Xu Shu also nodded and said.
Cao De pouted and smiled, this is what the great man said, can it be bad.
At this time, a sentry rode a war horse and came to Cao De's side quickly, "Lord Qi, the enemy army on the opposite side has a total of 50,000 people, 40,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry!" ”
"Got it!" Cao De nodded and waved his hand to let the sentry rider rest.
Cao De quietly looked at the formation of Li Daojun on the opposite side, and suddenly ordered: "Zhang Fei! ”
"In!" Zhang Fei didn't expect that he would be the first to appear.
"In the previous battle of Meridian Valley, Yide didn't have a chance to fight, so he must have a complaint against me in his heart!"
"How dare the last general!" Although Zhang Fei said no, he obviously had a big opinion on his face.
Everyone immediately laughed when they saw Zhang Fei's expression, Cao De laughed twice, and said: "Zhang Fei listened to the order and ordered you to take 2,000 infantry from the blade battalion to fight for our army!" This battle is the first time that our army has taken the initiative to attack, and Yide must send out the domineering spirit of our army! ”
"Don't worry! General Fengxian cut off Guo Yan's head with a halberd, if I accidentally bring Li Wei's head to the lord, how will the lord reward me! Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
"I'll reward you with three carts of good wine!" Cao De waved his hand, what a big reward.
"Haha, my lord, go back to the city and prepare a bar for me!"
Soon, Zhang Fei counted two thousand soldiers, "Brothers, did you hear that just now?" As long as I take down Li Dao's head, the lord will reward me with three carts of good wine. I, Zhang Fei, am a drinker, but I'm not stingy, you chopped off Li Fei's head with me, let's drink together! Kill..."
"Kill ......"
Zhang Fei abandoned his war horse, hung a big knife with a ring hand in his waist, a Zhangba snake spear on his back, and two scimitars in his hands, and charged towards Li Daojun on the opposite side!
Since Ma Chao came back from the grassland, Zhang Fei has had a great interest in scimitars, so Zhang Fei asked Ma Chao for two scimitars with a shy face.
And now, in order to keep up with the pace of the infantry behind him, Zhang Fei abandoned his war horse, pulled out his scimitar, and prepared to try it!
Li Dao on the opposite side saw it when Zhang Fei began to charge, and in order to win the tentative battle, Li Dao sent cavalry, two thousand cavalry!
Therefore, now Zhang Fei and the infantry behind him need to face infantry of the same size as them. This tentative battle is not easy to fight now!
