Chapter 200: Zang Ba is ordered (first update)
At the end of the third year of Jian'an, because Liu Bei recruited troops in Xiaopei, Lu Bu was disgusted, so Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was defeated.
Cao Ying table Liu Bei as the left general, Yuzhou assassin history, led 50,000 horse infantry army, and Liu Bei's 5,000 foot cavalry converged, attacked 55,000 foot cavalry, attacked Xuzhou, surrounded Lu Bu in Pengcheng.
Although the city of Pengcheng is tall and strong, and LΓΌ Bu's army is also brave and good at fighting, most of the soldiers are in the state, but LΓΌ Bu's army is only 20,000, but the army has been defeated by Cao's army and lacks confidence. Lu Bu also suspected that Chen Gong's plan could not be used, so the situation was dangerous.
So, Lu Bu sent envoys to Zang Ba and Yuan Shu for help.
These three people, Lu Bu repeatedly, Yuan Shu was greedy, and Zang Ba was a general, not a lord who decided major things.
These three aspects, if they follow the trajectory of history, Yuan Shu will not rescue Lu Bu, and Zang Ba will only dispatch a part of the forces to help Lu Bu.
Under the attack of Cao Ying, Liu Bei, Chen Deng and other troops, Lu Bu was killed in Baimenlou, Gao Shun, Chen Gong was martyred, Zhang Liao surrendered, and most of the rest of the generals surrendered.
Lu Bu's forces perished.
But because Chen Sheng was born out of thin air and joined this war, a major change has taken place.
First of all, Chen Sheng took Yuan Yin, Ji Ling, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua as generals, led 29,000 cavalry, and marched into the Huai River, intending to swallow Chen Deng's army.
On the other hand, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and some other bandit companions of Zang Ba of Taishan County and Langxi County raised 4,000 elite soldiers and headed for Xuzhou.
Although the number of troops is scarce, it is enough to bluff.
In Xuzhou, although it is a flat river, there are many mountain ranges in the place where it intersects with Yanzhou Taishan County. Here, you can hide elite soldiers.
In particular, bandits can walk like a fly because they often walk in the mountains.
One of the closest to Pengcheng has a hill called Feilong Mountain. The army is stationed here, and it can make a gesture to enter Pengcheng and intrude on the rear of Cao's army.
Retreat can quickly enter the mountains for retreat. With the bandit's ability to move in the mountains, it was easy to retreat.
Although Zang Ba is not good at being the master, he is extremely good as a general, he fell in love with Jiulong Mountain at a glance, led his companions, and four thousand elite soldiers to camp at the foot of the mountain, bluffing.
In the evening, the army arrived at Jiulong Mountain. While Zang Ba ordered the army to set up camp, with some companions, the generals walked up to the top of Jiulong Mountain, stood on a mountain rock, and shook to look at Xuzhou.
There are five people standing on the rocks, in addition to Zang Ba and Sun Guan, there are still three people, these three people are all bears and tigers, and the golden armor embroidered robes look majestic and strong.
They are Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Sun Kang. These three people are all generals in Zang Ba's army, and Sun Kang is still Sun Guan's brother.
These people are not only brave and good at fighting, and together with Zang Ba, they formed the force of Taishan thieves, and they are also the more outstanding generals under Cao Ying.
All of them are entitled, and their official positions are county guards.
"We are waiting for 4,000 elite soldiers, although they are not capable enough to fight with the Cao army, but they can involve the Cao army's military strength. Coupled with Lu Bu's strong man, he is good at fighting and is already able to fight with Cao Ying, and now with the Runan County Guard, Jianzhong General Chen Sheng and Yuan Shu united to march into Xuzhou. In this battle, Cao Ying has no chance of winning. β
Sun Kang looked at the direction of Xuzhou and said very excitedly.
In Zang Ba's army, Zang Ba and Sun Guan were the mainstays, and the two first connected with Fang Gu, and then called on Sun Kang and others to raise troops together.
The three of them were very impressed by Zang Ba and Sun Guan's actions, and they were of the same heart as Zang Ba, ready to support Lu Bu, and wanted to express kindness to Chen Sheng.
For the outcome of the battle of Xuzhou, he is also very optimistic.
"Yes, although Cao Ying is also a strong man, we, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and especially General Chen Sheng are not trivial. Now the army is assembled and will fight in Xuzhou. The odds are high. β
Wu Dun also nodded in agreement.
Zang Ba kept smiling at the talk of his companions, and only said at the end: "So, we must do our best." We can't let General Chen's army down us. β
Speaking of this, Zang Ba's expression became serious, and he turned to his companions and said, "The camp can be finished today, and Cao Ying is bound to get the news." We took advantage of tonight's action to intercept Cao Ying's grain team first to disturb the rear. β
"No."
The generals responded with a bang.
Soon after, it was dark. Zang Ba led the generals back to the barracks, and it didn't take long for Zang Ba to get a message.
Cao Ying's grain transport team was stationed about 300 miles away.
There is not much food, only a hundred carts, but it is also a batch of rations for Cao Jun, and the most important thing is that the guard is a person named Fang Guang, who is not famous.
He led no more than five hundred men and horses.
Swallowing this batch of grain is something that can disturb Cao Jun, and there is not much risk.
So, Zang Ba decided to send troops.
At the beginning of the night, Zang Ba camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army. Zang Ba Dama Jindao knelt on the handsome seat, and his subordinates Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others were seated on both sides.
The murderous atmosphere in the tent is very strong, and it is not comparable to the idle athletes.
"I waited for the mountain soldiers, the foot distance is very fast, and the distance of 300 miles can be reached overnight. Now send troops, but they can arrive tomorrow morning, and it will be easy to kill that party. This battle is the first battle, and it is not trivial. I decided to personally lead a thousand elite soldiers to attack the food team. Wait for the town to guard the camp, keep your own peace, and don't make trouble. β
Zang Ba looked around at his companions and said very majestically.
Although they are companions, there is no particularly obvious difference between the top and bottom, but Zang Ba's general order is very effective. Sun Guan and others agreed together.
"No."
"Okay, I'll go with all my troops."
Zang Ba shouted hello, then got up and walked out of the Chinese army's tent, and ordered a thousand elite soldiers to go to Cao's army food team three hundred miles away.
Sun Guan, Sun Kang and others also got up to send each other.
To be precise, Cao Jun's grain team was stationed about 287 miles away from Jiulong Mountain, which was an open space without an exact name.
It is true that there are a hundred carts of grain, which is not large. The garrison is five hundred, and the general is Fang Guang.
Although this Fang Guang is not famous, his marching ability is still very strong, and all the five hundred elite soldiers under his command are elite.
Not only that, but this square also built the camp like an iron wall, not only digging trenches to prevent enemy cavalry raids, but also setting up two layers of outer fences on the outside of the camp to strengthen the defense.
Not only that, but the five hundred defenders were not only equipped with archers, but also many crossbowmen, which were very lethal.
Cao Ying is not Yuan Shao, and will hand over his grain to a mediocre person, although this batch of grain is not much.
After doing all this, Fang Guang was not satisfied. During the night, he ordered his own soldiers to wake him up once every hour and inspect the camp.
"It's almost dawn, and this should be the last time we will inspect the camp. Before dawn, I went back to sleep first, so as to recuperate enough energy, and led the troops to continue to march to Xuzhou. β
It wasn't long before dawn, Fang Guang once again led his soldiers to inspect the camp, and at this moment Fang Guang was already very tired, and after calculating the time, Fang Guang decided to sleep back.
"Good students guard the camp, don't let your guard down." Thinking about it, Fang Guang shouted loudly as he walked towards the camp stationed around.
"No."
Naturally, the soldiers agreed. After listening to this loud voice, Fang Guang smiled with satisfaction and went back to the big tent.
"Huhuhu." After returning to the big tent, Fang Guang took off his armor, lay on the bed and began to fall asleep.
"Da-da-da-da."
"Kill, kill, kill."
"Whoosh"
It's a pity that it didn't take long for Fang Guang's good dream to be shattered. All around, there was a sudden sound of the army's movements, a terrifying roar of killing.
"What's going on?"
Fang Guang woke up at the first moment and shouted.
"Enemy attack."
Almost at the same time, a terrible roar pierced the night sky.
"General, someone is sneaking up." The next moment, a pro-soldier walked in, with a panicked face.
"Who is the enemy and how many are there?" Fang Guangyan asked calmly when he heard this.
"I don't know." The soldier shook his head and said.
In the darkness of the night, it is not clear how many enemies there are, who is leading the troops, and what forces they are.
"Send someone to tell the soldiers to calm down, after all, we have a lot of crossbows, bows, and strong defenses to resist. And sent people to the nearby county town to ask for help. Also, find someone to put on my armor. β
Who the enemy was, and how many soldiers and horses he didn't know, this made Fang Guang's heart sink, but as a qualified general, he calmed down and gave the order very quickly.
"No."
Seeing that Fang Guang was so calm, the soldiers also calmed down a little, promised and went to deliver the news.
Immediately, with the help of his own soldiers, Fang Guang put on his armor, raised a big knife, and planned to go into battle.
"Hahahaha, give you three ways, either die here, surrender, or break through quickly. If you choose to break through, go and tell Cao Ying that I, Zang Ba, was ordered by Chen Sheng, the general of Runan County, to camp in Jiulong Mountain and disturb Cao's army's grain road. Please take care of him. β
And at that moment, a wild laugh rang out. This wild laugh is not only crazy, but also full of a strong aura of slaughter, as well as an aggressive momentum.
Majestic and unusual.
But it is the voice of the Taishan thief, the general Zang Ba, who is as famous as Wenpin.
claimed to be on the order of Chen Sheng to disturb Cao's army's grain road and rear.
"Wancheng Chen Sheng? Did he join the war? Although Fang Guang was only a five-hundred-person general, he also had an excellent mind, and when he heard this, he immediately realized the change in the situation, and he lost his color.
"The big camp is sloped, the big camp is broken."
The next moment, the soldier's terrible cry sounded.
However, it was a strong camp built by Fang Guang, and it was not long before Zang Ba led his troops to break through, and at this moment, the entire camp fell into a huge panic.
Many soldiers were killed, and Zang Ba led his troops to crisscross the country.
"Let's go, let's spread the news to the big public first." Fang Guang's color changed again, he walked out of the big tent, looking at the surrounding camp, the chaotic and abnormal situation, Fang Guang gritted his teeth, turned over his horse, and withdrew.
But he chose the third way, breaking through.
When Fang Guang broke through, Zang Ba's heroic and murderous laughter continued to sound in the rear.
At that moment, Fang Guangneng realized that he was deliberately let go by Zang Ba in order to announce to Cao Ying the news that Zang Ba had joined the war.
And this battle did play a very important result.
The first is Zang Ba's participation in the war, and the second is the meaning behind Zang Ba. Cao Ying's old enemy, Chen Sheng, the commander of Runan County and the general of Jianzhong, participated in this war.
This news came to Cao Ying's ears more quickly than the news of Chen Dengnan. And it caused a lot of trouble to Cao Ying.
The grain road in the rear is unstable. (To be continued.) )
