Chapter 246 Yang Kai, who was the pioneer, took the lead, and actually sent troops to meet the enemy

Besides, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jia Xu went all the way ahead of Guan Yu and Xu Shu, but they did not arrive in Pingchun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was two days later than Guan Yu's vanguard troops, first, Pingchun's road from Hefei was farther than Gushi, and second, Liu Bei's dispatch of troops was relatively safe, and it was a reorganized team instead of five battalions of cavalry that was dispatched.

It is said that when Liu Xuande sent troops to send generals and designated vanguards, the generals under Xu Huang and Wu Yi asked for battle.

Wu Dun, Lu Di, Yang Kai, Yuan Bai, Danqing, and Li Mu did not give in, and even Xu Huang and Wu Yi also wanted to come forward to ask for battle. But Zhang Fei stared at the two of them there, Xu Huang and Wu Yi pouted, lowered their heads, and watched the few people under their command arguing with each other with the corner of their eyes, and they didn't say a word. In my heart, I hope that my subordinates will be able to compete for this pioneer, so as to win glory for myself.

Liu Bei looked at everyone with a smile, and suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped a few people, and asked: "It seems that all the generals want to lead the army and take on the role of the vanguard!" You are all suitable candidates, but you are only one pioneer! Please calm down and let the military advisor see which one is more suitable! He looked at Jia Xu as he spoke.

Jia Wenhe was reluctant to the boss of the ball kicked by Liu Bei in his heart! But what can be done? He's the boss now! His brain moved, he smiled, thought about it, and said: "All the generals know that this vanguard is not trivial!" However, all the generals are the choice of generals, and they are all competent in terms of ability! Therefore, a small request is being made, that is, this general still needs to know how to be flexible and quick to react to lead a regiment of troops and take on the role of a pioneer! ”

Jia Xu's voice just fell, but when he saw Yang Kaice, the staff general behind Xu Huang, immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and gave a deep salute to Liu Bei and Jia Xu, and said: "Thank you to the general and the military advisor for giving the young general this opportunity!" ”

After speaking, he turned back to Xu Huangyi and saluted, and said, "General, the last general will ask a group to accompany him." ”

Wu Dun and Lu Di were both subordinate generals under Xu Huang, but they didn't have many complaints, but they didn't understand what was going on? That Yuanbai and Danqing are in a hurry, which one promised him to be a pioneer? Looking at him, he sat down in the position of the vanguard. He rode out of his horse, stopped Yang Kai and asked, "General Yang, didn't the military advisor say that this vanguard let you be the vanguard?" ”

Li Mu called the two of them in the back, and Wu Yi was even more angry, shouting loudly: "Yuan Bai, Danqing, you and other fools!" Didn't you hear the military advisor talk about the need for pioneer officers to be flexible and agile? You are so slow to react, you are angry with me! Come back soon! ”

Yuan Bai and Danqing are honest people, even after studying in the Wenwu Academy, they are not as quick as Yang Kai, Li Mu and others, which is not surprising. Then again, if Li Mu robbed this vanguard, then Wu Dun would be okay to say, but that Rudy would definitely do the same.

Yang Kai grinned, and hugged his fists at Yuan Bai and Danqing: "Two virtuous brothers, the younger brother won the vanguard by luck today, it's just a trick." I hope the two of you are responsible! ”

The two of them were scolded by Wu Yi, and they were very embarrassed; When Yang Kai said this again, he actually smirked. Yuan Bai replied: "I was just thinking about how to tell the military advisor, where did I think you would do it directly!" A certain willing to bow down! ”

Danqing said the same.

Seeing this, Liu Bei laughed and said, "General Yang's mind is really sharp!" This time, he made you the vanguard officer, commanding a regiment of soldiers and horses in the headquarters to organize 5,000 people, and set off immediately. Open the way for a certain army to front, build a bridge in the water, there must be no mistake! ”

"The last general commands!" Yang Kaiyan said.

"Remember, this is the enemy attacking Pingchun. If the enemy army is outnumbered, you should seek to protect yourself first! When the army arrives, do your thoughts! Liu Bei admonished.

"The last general understands!"

After receiving the order, Yang Kai led a team of the integrated army (a cavalry battalion of 1,000 cavalry and an infantry battalion of 4,000 infantry) from Xu Huang, and left first.

The cavalry of this reorganized team had to wait for the infantry, and no matter how fast the infantry hurried, they could not catch up with the cavalry. Therefore, the speed at which they marched was still not as fast as the speed of Sun Guan's cavalry, and they just set off before Liu Bei and the others.

Besides, since Lejin arrived in Pingchun, he began to recruit soldiers and send them for military service; It also enables people to build weapons and equipment, especially bows and arrows.

Niu Gai, the general under his command, offered a plan and said to him: "General, the enemy army has always been known for its bravery. In the past, when we followed the lord to fight against Dong Zhuo, his army was surrounded by Lu Bu and the iron cavalry of the state and retreated, which shows his brave and good fighting style! The last general thought that our army should strengthen the city walls and build fortification equipment. Mr. Ziyang said that if Shuzhong does not send troops in this war, the lord will be the winner. As soon as the army of Shuzhong comes out, the lord will inevitably be defeated! The so-called is that the power of its army is beyond the reach of our army! ”

As soon as his voice fell, another general stepped forward and said, "General Niu's words are not true!" The invincibility of our army lies in the mastery of the enemy's situation! Mr. Ziyang once said that our army Tan Ma Duo died in the assassination of the Shu army. Therefore, he sent a certain person from Xuchang to come. Along the way, a few people secretly lay down near the roads leading to the city outside Pingchun City. If the enemy comes, there will be wolf smoke. Generals can prepare early to resist the enemy! After finishing speaking, he glared at Niu Gai fiercely.

When Le Jin took a look, it turned out to be Ma Shan, the deputy general who came from Xuchang. Besides, Liu Ye, the word Ziyang, a native of Chengde, Huainan (now southeast of Shou County, Anhui), is the descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu, the son of Emperor Guangwu, and the king of Fuling. (A famous strategist of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.) In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao's important strategists have repeatedly offered clever plans, and he often has a word about the development of the situation in the world. Liu Ye has lived in several dynasties and is a veteran of the three dynasties of Cao Wei. After Cao Cao pacified Qingzhou and was named the general of Zhendong, he joined Cao Cao's camp under the introduction of Guo Jia. However, under Guo Jia's edge, his ability to recognize people and anticipate the enemy's strategy were all covered, so Cao Cao only knew his exquisite skills in making siege equipment. Moreover, his opinions often contradicted those of Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others, and Cao Cao often disagreed. In fact, Liu Ye had already found out about the fact that Tanma was blocked and killed this time, and he had proposed it to Cao Cao, but unfortunately Cao Cao didn't think so. Liu Ye is quite self-aware and can protect himself, seeing that Cao Cao does not attach importance to his strategy, he only uses equipment as a refinement. Ma Shan is his disciple and protégé, and he often fights for the teacher on weekdays, but today he was very angry when he saw Niu Gai misunderstand the teacher so badly. It turned out that Liu Ye thought that Pingchun, as the southernmost city in Yuzhou, would inevitably suffer the first wave of Liu Qian's attack, so he sent his protégé to rush to reinforcements.

Le Jin is heroic and brave, but seeing that the two have been full of praise for the Shu army, he said: "Two generals, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!" Since General Ma has done a good job of the dark whistle, when the wolf smoke starts in the coming day, he will lead his troops to fight! ”

Okay! As soon as he heard that the Sichuan army was brave and good at fighting, he still carried it! Completely forgot what Guo Jia told him to stick to the city! Ma Shan took a look, yes! This man belongs to a donkey! The more he persuaded him, the more rampant he became......

Ma Shan just wanted to persuade again. At this moment, a soldier ran in from outside, came to them and knelt down, and reported: "General Qiyu, there is wolf smoke rising thirty miles east of the city!" ”

"It seems that the enemy troops are being sent from the direction of Hefei! Thou shalt inquire further. Although Le Jin was angry just now, he still knew that the war was currently going on, and he still needed to calm down, so he turned back to Niu Gai and Ma Shan and said: "Two generals, the enemy will be the general." I thought that when I sent troops to find out the truth! ”

"General, don't worry. It's not too late to wait for the horse to return! Niu Gai said.

Ma Shan also stepped forward and said, "Yes! General, I'll go to the city first to see the enemy's situation, and then discuss. ”

Le Jin looked at the two of them, and then said: "It's okay, Ru Ru and the others will follow me to the city to watch the enemy!" After finishing speaking, he rushed to the city tower with the second general Niu Ma and several deputy generals.

When the people came to the city, the probe horse came back and reported: "The enemy army is about 5,000 people, and there are all the horse infantry troops!" Now it is still more than 20 miles away from the city. ”

When Le Jin heard this, he smiled and said to the second general Niu Ma: "The two generals, please defend the city for a certain one here." Wait for a certain person to meet this Sichuan army and see how brave and good they are? ”

Niu Gai was originally a fellow villager of Lejin, and he defected to Cao Cao with him and participated in the battle of Dong Zhuo. Today, seeing that Le Jin was going to lead the soldiers and horses to meet the enemy, he stepped forward and said: "Wen Qian, why don't I fight on your behalf?" ”

Le Jin shook his hand and said, "Can the public martial arts be better than something?" After speaking, he laughed, turned around and went down to the city, picked up five thousand elite soldiers, and went out of the city to the east.

Le Jin came all the way east with 5,000 elite soldiers, and he didn't go out for more than ten miles, but he saw the flag waving in front of him, people shouting and neighing, and the road was even more dusty, pedestrians were dodging, and a group of armed soldiers would come over with great momentum.

Le Jin waved his hand, set up a position, and waited for the enemy.

In a short time, the enemy came close and stopped at a distance of thirty or fifty feet. The leader of the army waved the spear in his hand, pulled the reins of the horse, and stopped the horse. The thousand knights behind him actually stopped their horses at the same moment, and stood in several columns in unison; The infantry behind them circled around and flanked the cavalry.

Sure enough, it is a well-trained army, and this alone is not comparable to the soldiers under his command! The general at the head has a pure white scholarly face, wearing an iron wolf's tooth helmet, wearing a hundred shutters and iron chain armor, covered with a white hero, and two spears in his palms with long tassels, more like Confucian gods and generals. Behind him, there were three generals with similar equipment, and in the center one was wearing a Suluo robe covered with chain armor, and in his hand was also a spear; The one on the left is wearing a yellow kudzu robe covered with chain armor, but in his palm is a flat-headed long knife; The one on the right is wearing a blue kudzu robe, covered with chain armor, and has a flat-headed long knife in his hand.

Look at the cavalry again, the spear is pointed diagonally at the ground level, the bow and the carved feather are bent on the back, and the attack is all-round in close combat. The infantry on both sides were four knights in front of every ten columns, the former with three three-foot banners on his back, a spear in his hand, and a suit of leather armor. The three people behind him had one less flag behind them, and they were also wearing leather armor with spears in their hands. The column of soldiers shall hold swords and shields or carry spears, and on one side of the sword and shield shall be guarded by pikemen; The spear-bearer shall be flanked by sword and shield soldiers. It seems to be a list of differences, but in fact, it implies compatibility and complementarity!
