Chapter 691: Half-Crossing Strike

Lu Yi withdrew. Two thousand soldiers returned less than a thousand. Although Lu Yi came to the place where the raft was hidden, when he took the raft and retreated to the east bank, Lu Yi still left hundreds of soldiers behind.

However, Lu Yi also brought back a very important piece of news.

Cao Jun was very well guarded, and there were almost no loopholes to drill. After Liu Bei's analysis, Liu Bei came to the conclusion that Cao's army had been stationed on the west bank for so long, and there must be a conspiracy. As for what the conspiracy is, this has to be asked to Cao Cao.

In this sneak attack across the river, Liu Bei's biggest result was to turn Yu Ban's efforts in the past few days into ashes.

Although the raft is simple to make, it also takes a lot of time to accumulate. Lu Yi's fire is not too big and very ordinary. But if Cao Jun wants to attack, he will have to wait a few more days. And this time was also an opportunity for Liu Bei to explore Cao Cao's conspiracy.

However, when the morning dawned on the ban to clean the camp, Liu Bei finally figured it out. And this is understood because of a message.

Cai Mao is defeated!

Cao Cao took Xiahoudun and Xu Huang to Runan County in the starry night. And, launched an attack on Cai Mao that night. An army of 50,000 was wiped out overnight.

Cai Mao is now missing!

I see!

No wonder after so many days, Cao Jun seems to have come to travel. I ate and slept every day, and I woke up and ate.

Cai Mao was defeated, but Liu Bei's side lost a big help. Liu Bei originally wanted to rely on Cai Mao to involve Cao Cao's forces in Yuzhou. But now, all plans have been disrupted. And Liu Bei is facing more and more pressure.

I'm afraid that as long as we wait for the arrival of Cao's army in Yuzhou, it will be a decisive battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei now has a chance.

"Someone!"

"Lord!"

"Gather the generals, the big tent is discussed!"

In less than two quarters of an hour, the generals of Liu Jun, who had just entered the big tent of the Chinese army, rushed out again.

"The Lord has an order! Get ready to strike! ”

Who are Liu Bei's most powerful assistants, and now they deserve to be Guan Yu and Liu Ye. And Liu Ye is still presiding over the overall situation in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei himself only brought out Guan Yu. Therefore, after Liu Bei himself sat in charge of Chen Liu, Guan Yu needed to lead the army!

On the east bank of the Langdang Canal, 30,000 Liu troops are waving flags, swords and guns are lined up, and thousands of drums are ringing in unison, and the momentum is like a rainbow!

"Zhang Tong and Wang Chong, you two are the vanguard of our army!"

"Yes!"

Guan Yu gave an order, and Zhang Wang and the others immediately ordered 3,000 elite soldiers and boarded the prepared raft.

"Two generals, be sure to buy enough time for Guan!"

"Rest assured, the general will not fail in his mission."

With such a big battle of Liu Jun, it is impossible for Cao Jun on the other side of the river to be invisible. Therefore, when Guan Yu's vanguard general set off, Yu Ban was already ready.

Seven thousand soldiers, four thousand, came to the west bank of the Wandering Canal. As the division of the forbidden army, Mao Jue naturally came to the front of the battle at this time.

The river wind blew the surface of the river, and waves after waves were blowing, and it also blew Mao Jue's Confucian robe to hunt.

"General Yu! It seems that Liu Jun is going to attack the overall situation. "The black head on the other side of the river, no one will think that the other side is here for a picnic.

"Mr. Mao! An urgent report had been sent to the King of Wei. Presumably, King Wei will not continue to wait and see what happens! ”

It seems that the four-character reply given by "Cao Cao" to Yu Ban in the past few days has deeply hurt Yu Ban.

"King Wei? King Wei naturally won't wait and see what happens, I'm afraid that King Wei is not in Kaifeng now! Mao Jue suddenly said speechlessly.

"Shenma?" Yu Ban stumbled and almost fell into the rippling river.

"Yuzhou just sent an urgent report, King Wei led 20,000 troops in Yuzhou and broke Cai Mao. Cai Mao's 50,000 soldiers and horses were defeated, and they had already withdrawn for hundreds of miles. As Mao Jue spoke, he took out a battle report from his arms.

Yu Ban hurriedly took it, looked at it quickly, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea!" ”

"There is still a sound of east and west!" Mao Jue added another word.

Yu Ban pondered carefully, that's pretty much the case! However, there seems to be something wrong......

"Mr. Mao!"

"Huh?"

"You all know that King Wei is not in Kaifeng?"

"Uh-huh!" Mao Jue's eyes rolled and nodded.

"I don't know?" Yu Ban pointed to his nose.

"Maybe!" Mao Jue thought for a while and said.

Yu Ban's face turned red all of a sudden. Then, "Sir, are you ......"

Alas, alas, you two wait first, Liu Jun on the opposite side has begun to attack, looking at your appearance, do you two still want to practice first?

No, there are already heralds coming. "Generals, military divisions, the enemy has begun to attack."

Yu Ban glanced back at Liu Jun on the river, "Aren't they just some thieves?" Go, and when they're halfway there, they will release the arrows. ”

Attacking halfway across the river is precisely the greatest danger of crossing the river.

On the water, it would be better if you were on a more spacious warship, but on this small raft, how to hide? Jumping into the water can't dodge.

The order to attack halfway has already been given by Yu Ban. However, the herald did not leave, but quietly looked at Yu Ban and Mao Jue, who were about to start the face-tearing battle.

Yu Ban was ready to do it, but Mao Jue pointed to the herald behind Yu Ban, as if the little couple who was ready to make love was still carrying a super light bulb on the side.

"What's wrong!" Yu Ban turned his head, his face seemed to be full of resentment!

"General! Don't you notice? It's the east wind today! ”

"Dongfeng?" Yu Ban only noticed at this time that this wind direction seemed to be very unfavorable to him.

Dongfeng! Yu Ban is on the west bank, and Guan Yu is on the east bank. Guan Yu's raft runs from east to west, downwind; Yu Ban's arrows from west to east, against the wind!

It is well known that the wind on the river is much stronger than on land. Although the arrow is small, it will be greatly affected under such conditions.

But fortunately, this is an oncoming headwind, if it is a strong wind coming from the side, then the arrow shot by Yu Ban's side will have to go to grandma's house to find it.

In this way, the effect of the half-crossing attack specified by the ban can be greatly reduced.

"Hmm!" Yu Ban's attention finally shifted from Mao Jue's body to the water.

On the water, Guan Yu's vanguard troops were advancing rapidly on a raft, and at this time, Guan Yu's vanguard had already crossed nearly a quarter of the water surface more than two hundred zhang wide.

"General!" Mao Jue stepped forward and took a few steps forward and said, "Since the range of our army's arrows is not enough, let's wait until the range is enough before attacking!" ”

"That's right! Do you hear that? Go ahead and give the order! Yu Ban patted the herald's head and feigned anger.

"No!" The herald straightened his crooked head and ran out.

As the herald left, Yu Ban and Mao Jue both saw each other's expressions. However, the two smiled at each other again, and Yu Ban walked towards Mao Jue.

"Mr. Mao, the previous matter is not over, the feeling that King Wei is not in Kaifeng, you all know that you will keep myself in the dark. What exactly do you want to do? ”

"Uh......, General Yu, the enemy is now, let's fight first. As for the matter of King Wei, General Yu should go to King Wei to theorize! ”

"King Wei? The King of Wei is now chasing Cai Mao for thousands of miles in Yuzhou, how can General Ben find the King of Wei? As for the big enemy, hehe, just Liu Bei, where is the big enemy? ”
