Jingzhou, Xinye.

The scale of Xinye City is actually not large, but the geographical location here is very important for Jingzhou, and if the northern princes want to go south to Jingzhou, this is a choke point that must be passed.

Since the beginning of the Chu State, it has become an important region for the confrontation between the north and the south.

After Wu took Jingzhou, this was the front line of the confrontation between the Wu army of Jingzhou and the Wei army of Nanyang, and it had always been guarded by Cao Xing, the most powerful and stable general under Lu Bu.

After Cao Xing was transferred by Huang Zhong to the Blood Wolf Army in the north, Fan Dao, a relatively stable general in the Flying Tiger Army, was guarding Xinye.

Fan Dao is in his early forties, a veteran of Jiangdong, in the past, he was a general under Sun Quan's lineage, and in the battle of the hunting Lu State, he followed Sun Quan to fight in the East China Sea, shining brightly, and was promoted from a small military marquis to a general.

After the reform in the army, he was transferred to the Jingzhou battalion and appointed as the commander of the 8th Infantry Division in Jingzhou.

After Cao Xing left his post, he was favored by Lu Bu, sent north, became the chief general of Xinye, inherited the rank of General Xinye, and still served as the commander of the Eighth Division, leading the troops to guard Xinye.

Three days ago, the Eighth Division of the Fifth Division of the Flying Tiger Army, which was guarding Xinye City, gathered a total of seven main regiments of troops and poured out of Xinye, fought all the way north, and pressed the territory of Nanyang.

In just three days, they had already crossed the thorny water, won the thorny city, and forced the soldiers to Wancheng.

The night is vast, and the thorny water is choppy.

Next to the Thorn River, the Fifth Division of the Eighth Division of the Flying Tiger jointly commanded the camp.

Shi Tao, chief of staff of the Flying Tiger Army, the main camp of the Chinese army, stood in front of the sand table, under the light of the oil lamp, his eyes stared at several terrains on the sand table vividly, and only after half a sound did he start: "The 252nd Regiment should go to Niyang now, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

The acting commander of the Fifth Division nodded. said: "But the soldiers and horses of one of their regiments can't defeat Niyang!" ”

"The 281st Regiment can support in three hours at most, and Niryang may not be able to defeat it!" Fan Dao said in a deep voice.

"Pass the military order, let the 252nd Regiment and the 281st Regiment retreat for 20 miles. Not allowed to attack Niyang? ”

"Why?" The two division commanders were a little puzzled.

"Because we will start tomorrow, we will transfer the troops, and we will not fight Wancheng!"

"Where?" Fan Dao asked.

"Here!"

"Dancing Yin?" Fan Dao looked at the terrain pointed out by Shi Tao, his pupils condensed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Why?" ”

"You remember, our task is to lure the enemy, not to go head-to-head with Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses!"

Shi Tao analyzed: "Take down Wuyin, we can confuse Zhang Xiu, didn't Zhang Xiu always think that we were going to fight Wancheng." So even if we enter Nanyang in Xinye, he will be able to hold on and have been waiting for work in Wancheng, but if he finds out that our soldiers are going east, he will definitely be in a hurry! ”

"And then?"

Fang Mu, the acting commander of the Fifth Division, asked.

Fang Mu is a native of Bingzhou, Cao Xing's deputy general, and has followed Cao Xing's campaign for ten years, after Cao Xing left office. proposed him to be the commander of the Fifth Division, and Lu Bu reviewed it. It was submitted to the Military Aircraft Department, and now it is just waiting for the appointment paperwork.

"As soon as he is in a hurry, he will go out of Wancheng, which is easier to fight!" Shi Tao said: "When the time comes, we can still kill a horse pistol, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises!" ”

"But this will also alarm the Wei army in Yuzhou, Wuyin is already close to Yuzhou!"

Fan Dao was a little worried: "When the time comes, the Wei army in Yuzhou will press up." We'll just run away! ”

Fight Nanyang because Nanyang's main force is pressed on the top.

However, Yuzhou's troops went south, and unless the main force of the Flying Tiger Army was mobilized, they only had two divisions of soldiers and horses, and they could only escape from Nanyang. Return to Shinno.

"It's good to be alarmed!"

There was a meaningful light in Shi Tao's eyes.

The news that Lu Bu was going north in person, except for him, the Flying Tiger Army did not know anything about it, and everything he was doing now was not for Nanyang, but for luring the enemy.

Of course, this is something he cannot say.

"Fan Dao, you lead two regiments, encircle the point, fight Wuyin, there are not many soldiers and horses in Wuyin, it can be done within a day, Fang Mu, you send reinforcements!" Shi Tao began to assign tasks: "In short, we must attract Zhang Xiu's attention to us!" ”

"Chief of Staff, is there any plan we don't know about?"

Fang Mu felt a hint of unusualness.

"Don't ask!"

Shi Tao looked at the puzzled expressions of the two main generals, and said in a deep voice: "You can just fight like this, this battle is not a task assigned by our Flying Tiger Battalion, but directly arranged from the military aircraft, if you come out of chaos, not only you, even General Lu will be criticized!" ”

"We promise to complete the mission!"

When the two of them heard this, their expressions were immediately solemn, and they replied respectfully.

At the other end of the thorny water, ten miles downstream, under the reflection of the night, two elite cavalry stood solemnly by the river.

"Tai Shici, it's too late to regret now, in this battle, even a certain family may not have absolute confidence to kill it!"

Lu Bu rode on the red rabbit horse, looked at the tricky in the rush, and said lightly.

The plan is good, but once they are in a siege, they have no choice but to die.

"If I, Taishi Ziyi, were a person who was afraid of death, I wouldn't be able to live today!"

Tai Shi Ci carried a silver spear on his back and held the reins of his horse, standing in front of the overlord's iron horse, looking at the stars in front of him, his eyes were hunting and bright.

Teaching and educating people is a great merit, but it is not my original intention.

The battlefield is where I belong.

What is the fear of danger, even if you die on the battlefield, it is a hundred times better than dying in Jingzhou Lecture Hall.

"Huh!"

Lu Bu smiled, he could understand Tai Shici's mood, and he could also feel Tai Shici's fighting spirit: "Then the two of us will break into the former capital of Wei State, come here, march map!" ”

"In!"

A few of the soldiers in the back quickly came up and spread out a huge and detailed march map at both ends and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"Let's divide the soldiers into two ways!" Lu Budao.

"One light and one dark, can surprise and attack it unprepared!" Tai Shi Ci nodded.

"Who is the light and who is the dark knife?"

"The Overlord Iron Cavalry is the cavalry with the strongest combat effectiveness in Wu State, the most elite heavy armored cavalry, which can rush through the pass, impact it, and have unparalleled combat power, no one can stop it, but their marching speed is not fast, and they can be used as bait!" Tai Shi Ci asked: "A certain family is a beacon."

"The speed of Bai Ma Yicong is unparalleled in the world, the elite cavalry trained by Zhao Zilong, the soldiers under his command, all of them have absolutely superb riding skills, big roads and small roads, can walk, suitable for taking hidden routes!"

Lu Bu looked at the marching map, and there were already two clear routes on it: "You can hide your identity!" ”

"Either you don't fight, if you want to fight, you have to be ruthless, at least you have to go around the capital city, otherwise it will have no effect!" Tai Shi Ci said suddenly: "Your strategy has to change before!" ”

"It's very difficult, we only have 6,000 soldiers and horses, and it is already dangerous to be able to enter Yuzhou, and then use cavalry to fight Xudu and find death!"

"Not necessarily, the main thing is to attract the lord's soldiers and horses, and then attack them unprepared, maybe they don't need to attack!"

"You want to completely attract the main force, but in this way, your pressure will be great, and if you can't get it right, you won't be able to get out!"

"The Wei State has focused on Luoyang and Jizhou, they have been peaceful in Yuzhou for many years, how many soldiers and horses can encircle and suppress us!" Tai Shi Ci didn't care.

"Okay, just do what you want!"

Between the two of them, they discussed a good marching strategy for this battle.

"Cross the river!"

Under the darkness of the night, Lu Bu and Tai Shici gave the order to advance.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At this moment, in the waters of the East China Sea, He Qi's mood was a little annoyed, he stood on the deck, feeling the coldness of the sea breeze, but he couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart.

With a thought, he lost the fighter, and he lost this battle before he fought.

"General, the military aircraft department has come to the military order, within three days, it must enter Qingzhou!" A staff officer stood behind him and whispered a reminder.

"Three days?"

Hearing this, He Qi took a deep breath, looked at the endless blue sky and white clouds, and his face became resolute: "Chuan Mou's military order, the tenth division, give up Dongmu, withdraw from Donglai, and within one day, meet me in Laizhou Bay!" ”

"No!"

A staff officer nodded hurriedly.

"General, assault?" A division commander's face trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"Over the years, the higher the position, the more soldiers and horses under our command, the more cautious we become, the most we think about is to exchange the least casualties for the greatest combat achievements, but thinking too much, sometimes it is wrong."

He Qi's eyes were like fire, scorching bright: "The tough battle that should be fought is still to be fought fiercely, I can't make two mistakes on top of the same mistake." ”

"There are many islands in Kelaizhou Bay, and there are many islands in the open and in the dark, and there are many reefs on the route, which is not suitable for building boats."

"The brave wins!"

He Qi clenched his fists: "We have no choice, if we don't annihilate Cai Mao's main force, we won't be able to enter Qingzhou, instead of losing the advantage on the sea, it is better to fight in Laizhou Bay, all the warships are ready, tomorrow evening, at sunset, kill in!" ”

"No!"

All the soldiers could feel He Qi's fighting spirit and nodded one after another. (To be continued......)
