Chapter 456: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
"Why, you dare to disobey my father's edict?" Zhang Yuan's face was blank and his eyes were wide. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't dare, where do I dare, Lao Li, I will obey the order." Li Dingguo had no choice but to accept the order, muttering and complaining while muttering, and rode away.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Li Si with resentment, as if complaining that Li Si caused him to take over this drudgery.
"Li Dingguo, why don't you just grow flesh and not brains......" Looking at Li Dingguo's distant back, Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
……
Next.
When the east turned white, the Zhou army of Baimadu began to move early in the morning, and nearly 100 large and small boats and rafts lined up in the water camp, and 5,000 soldiers boarded the ships in an orderly manner.
The big banner of the word "Fan" has been raised.
On the north bank, the scouts of the Zhou army quickly reported the movements of the Zhou army on the south bank to Liyang City.
Liyang.
Yuan Tan had changed the decadence of guarding the Shiting grain camp, quit drinking, and before dawn, he went to the head of the city to inspect it, just in time for the fine work to send the information on the south bank.
"Did the thief gather the men so quickly?" Yuan Tan suddenly became nervous.
Ju Yi was calm and tight, and asked in a deep voice: "How many troops are there that Zhang Thief crossed the river?" ”
"The eldest prince, the general of the bow, the enemy army that is crossing the river is only five thousand." The scout replied.
Five thousand?
Yuan Tan and Ju Yi glanced at each other, and a trace of incomprehension flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Suddenly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Ju Yi's eyes: "The eldest prince, Zhang Thief crossed the river with 5,000 soldiers and horses, let's just take the opportunity to send troops, relying on the advantage of troops, to give him a head-on blow." ”
Yuan Tan's body was shocked, and the killing in his eyes gradually rose.
Xu You, who rushed to hear the news, said hurriedly: "The eldest prince, the lord ordered us to hold Liyang City and not to fight with the enemy. ”
Ju Yi said: "Zhang Thief dared to force the river with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it was clearly expected that our army was afraid and did not dare to face the battle. ”
"Having said that, it's important to be safe, and you still can't fight." Xu You insisted.
"Mr. Zhang, could it be that you were scared by the thief Zhang, how did you get to the point where you are so cowardly as a mouse?" Ju Yi glared at Xu You, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Xu You's face turned red, and he was speechless for a while, Ju Yi immediately said: "If we sit back and watch Zhang Thief calmly cross the river, it will be tantamount to frustrating our own spirit, it is better to take advantage of Zhang Thief's arrogance, with my superior forces, kill him by surprise, even if we have to retreat to Liyang in the end, we can also boost morale with a victory, and even make the lord impress the eldest prince What a good opportunity, how can I give up." ”
Impressed Yuan Shao...
Yuan Tan's fists were clenched, his eyes were ready to move, and his heart of meritorious service could not be suppressed like a volcano about to erupt.
He was too eager to make meritorious service and wanted to regain Yuan Shao's trust, the current situation, Ju Yi's analysis, it seemed that this victory was just around the corner, and there was no reason to turn a blind eye.
"The general is outside, the king's order is not granted, the opportunity is in front of him, and he has the courage to grasp it." Ju Yi arched his hand with an expectant look in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Tan's heart of revenge and meritorious service were difficult to restrain again, and only resoluteness remained in his eyes.
Without waiting for Xu Yu to persuade again, Yuan Tan said proudly: "General Ju is reasonable, Zhang Thief crossed the river so fearlessly, he really didn't take this son in his eyes, and even looked down on my Yuan army soldiers, if I don't give him a head-on blow, Ruzhong can boost the morale of the three armies!" ”
Xu You knew that Yuan Tan was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he was determined to fight, but no one could stop him.
He pondered the situation of the Zhou army again, and it seemed that as Ju Yi said, this was also a good opportunity to win, and Zhang Yuan should not be able to play any tricks.
After thinking about it, Xu You had no reason to object, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Yuan Tan immediately passed down the generals, ordered Ju Yi to lead 8,000 infantry troops, and he led 3,000 iron cavalry to fight, and went straight to the north bank of the Chenghe River, and when the Zhou army was halfway crossed, he launched a fatal attack.
The remaining 9,000 soldiers and horses, led by Xu You, stick to Liyang and guard against Hui at any time.
More than 10,000 troops swarmed out of the city and headed straight for the shore.
South.
All 5,000 soldiers and horses have boarded the ship, and due to the limited number of rafts, it is currently only possible to load and transport so many people across the river in one batch.
"I said Zhou Gong, you can't give Lao Li and me a secret, you asked me to take this little bit of soldiers and horses across the river, didn't you really ask me to send me to death?" Li Dingguo's face was still full of worry.
Zhang Yuan was still smiling and silent.
"General Fan, just cross the river, Duke Zhou won't let you die." Li Si smiled faintly and comforted.
Li Si's tone seemed to have been strategized, and Zhang Yuan's confident smile seemed to be confident.
Li Dingguo was skeptical, but he had no choice but to jump into the boat and shout: "Drive the boat for Lao Tzu and kill to the north shore." ”
Hundreds of transport ships slowly shored off the shore and slowly headed for the north shore under the light of the morning sun.
Zhang Yuan immediately crossed the knife, looked at the river from afar, and the boat that had been snorting reached the center of the river and went straight to the north bank.
"Zhou Gong, the time has come." Li Si reminded from the side.
Zhang Yuan nodded and glanced at Zhuan Zhu, "Send a signal." ”
Focusing on his intentions, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the left and right.
On the north shore, Yuan Tan had already led 11,000 Yuan troops to ride on foot and rushed to the shore menacingly.
More than 10,000 troops were lined up two miles north of the shore, and Yuan Tan and Ju Yi rode their horses straight to the shore to investigate the military situation.
Yuan Tan immediately went to the shore and saw more than 100 rafts, carrying 5,000 Zhou soldiers, heading towards the north shore, and in less than half an hour, they could reach the shore.
"The thief really only sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to grab the beach in vain, the eldest prince, transfer all our soldiers and horses to the river beach, a strong bow and a hard crossbow are all random arrows, how can the thief go ashore." Ju Yi shouted excitedly.
"Wouldn't that be too cheap, thief." Yuan Tan sneered, "If we shoot arrows, the enemy army can't, and we must only retreat, and then we will only kill and injure hundreds of enemy troops, how can it be as happy as completely annihilating the enemy army." ”
"The eldest prince means ......"
Yuan Tan pointed at the spear and said coldly: "General Ju, you will lead the infantry army to be deployed on the river beach, leading the enemy army to attack, but deliberately let the enemy army ashore, when his soldiers and horses are exhausted, I will lead the iron cavalry along the river bank to kill from the east, we will attack from both sides, kill the enemy army by surprise, and will definitely destroy Zhang Thief's 5,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop." ”
Ju Yi understood and happily praised: "The eldest prince is wise in this way, and in this way, the annihilation of the enemy by 5,000 is enough to severely defeat the enemy's spirit and make the eldest prince regain his prestige." ”
After the two had made up their minds, Ju Yi summoned 8,000 infantry troops to the front and lined them up on the river beach, while Yuan Tan led 3,000 iron cavalry to lurk to the east.
Not long after, Zhou's boat raft was approaching the river beach.
It is now the end of autumn, Zhang Jiu has not rained, the water level of the Chenghe River has plummeted, the water potential in the Liyang area is stable, and the Zhou army ships are moving very fast.
