Chapter 66: Liu Yu VS Huan Zhen
Kyoguchi Beigu Mountain
Huan Zhen, the general of the expedition to the east, led troops to defend Jingkou, and was immediately counterattacked by Liu Yu, who dispatched a naval army to forcibly cross the Yangtze River and land on Beigu Mountain to attack the opponent's camp.
In February, the spring breeze was like scissors, the river was surrounded by thick fog, and the cold wind was swishing, and Liu Yu commanded the Beifu Army to fight with the Eastern Army in front of the camp.
Dense rockets rained down on the camp, setting the tents on fire.
Liu Yu's expression was serene, and his natural goldfish eyes stared ahead.
I have to say that Huan Zhen led the troops well, although he was attacked at dawn, he organized a defense in a moment, and danced a silver spear, one person was a hundred enemies.
Liu Yu has a small problem, he is a little nervous, he likes to touch his nose with his hand, although his face is calm, but he obviously still has some scruples about this general Huan.
Huan Zhen's bravery is a fight with Liu Gaozhi, but that Liu Sannu is naturally anti-bone, even more unbearable than Lu Bu, anti-this, anti-that, everyone doesn't trust him, and he desperately supports the king of Chu to seize power, and his ass is still hot in Jingkou, so he was sent to Huiji.
Liu Yu waved his hand, and behind him, a thousand Xuanjia soldiers rushed towards the Huan Zhen camp.
This is the Xuanjia soldiers that the general of Jinu is proud of, all of them are carefully selected strong men, holding large shields, five hundred soldiers think that the long knife opens the way, and there are four hundred spearmen, these spears are three feet longer than the spears of ordinary soldiers, and there are a hundred crossbowmen in the formation.
The swordsmen opened the way, the spearmen reaped the life, and with the precise blows of a hundred crossbowmen, they quickly broke through the front camp.
Huan Zhen's tyrannical killing, is well-known in the Jingzhou army, Liu Yu has heard of it, the battle a few days ago, but also let him understand the mighty posture of this Huan general, not to mention anything else, just Huan Zhen brought out the soldiers compared with other Jingzhou army, at a glance can distinguish the superior, and this, everyone, including Liu Gaozhi, is full of praise.
There is a strategy for the general, and there is a brave general.
For the generals, they are full of civil and military weapons, and they are fierce generals.
Liu Yu is strategic, indeed lacks martial arts, and should be a brave general.
Huan Zhen is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he should be a fierce general.
Brave generals against fierce generals, lack of sharpness.
Fierce generals against brave generals, one less safe.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the Zhengdong Army in the front battalion was obviously unable to withstand the double-sided attack of the Beifu Army and the Xuanjia soldiers, and the rout was immediately apparent.
Huan Zhen's majesty is not covered, and he picked up a few Beifu soldiers who were close to him, and with a loud roar, he rushed into the Xuanjia array.
Only a violent explosion was heard, and several people were killed by the long knife men in the front row, and the Eastern Army took advantage of the situation and pulled back the disadvantage.
Liu Yu sat on the back of a horse by the river, and involuntarily touched his nose with his hand, looked at the red sun that was about to rise in the east, and nodded to the pro-soldiers next to him.
"Woo~" The loud horn sounded.
Huan Zhen heard the sound of the trumpet, frowned, he knew that Liu Yu was good at scheming, every link of the battlefield was under his control, suddenly heard it, the spear swept, forced back the long knife hand in front of the Xuanjia array, and waved towards the Chinese army without the slightest hesitation, and suddenly, there were several flags dancing, and the Eastern Army was instantly concentrated from the four battlefields in an orderly manner and began to move eastward.
Liu Yu's mouth opened slightly, he didn't expect that Huan Zhen would be able to make the whole army move with the rhythm by waving his hand in the army, which even he couldn't do.
Sure enough, as Huan Zhen expected, the direction of Beigu Mountain in the west was dusty, and countless soldiers killed, looking at the big banner, it was also Liu, and the feeling was that Liu Yi who had not appeared.
Huan Zhen also has a lot of admiration for Liu Yi, the general of the Beifu Army, who is in Jingkou and is a well-known local clan, not only leading troops well, but also quite good at martial arts.
Faced with the upcoming two-sided attack, a good general of Zhengdong, did not panic in the slightest, in the Chinese army, several black flags danced in an instant, only to see thousands of Zhengdong troops deployed in the south of the camp to pull their longbows and march to the west, standing in three rows, and the dense rain of arrows flew all over the sky.
While the archers moved, the front army moved in a straight line and was responsible for defending, while in the middle army, a team rushed out of a team and went straight into the middle of the archers, and after a few rounds of shooting, Ling Ran fearlessly collided with the Beifu army led by Liu Yi.
Liu Yu nodded, and secretly praised this Huan Zhen's tight defense, although the strength of the two armies was equal, he made a surprise attack on his side, wounding 1,000 enemies and 800 himself, looking at the entire battlefield, he really didn't take any advantage.
The tent that the rocket had lit earlier had already been extinguished, and it seemed that it was entangled, and it would not get much benefit, this is Liu Yu's advantage, the battle, known as a surprise battle to win, if the casualties are too large, he will not hesitate to choose to retreat, of course, while retreating, but also to protect his own troops, this is the consensus of brave generals and fierce generals.
The repeated surprise attacks did not give the army the advantage of defeat, and the high-spirited horn sounded again dullly, and the two Beifu armies quickly withdrew from the camp and moved closer together.
Several white flags were waved in the camp of the Eastern Army, and the anxious Eastern Army and the Beifu Army were separated in an instant, without pursuing or attacking.
Huan Zhen's approach is correct, under the premise that the two sides have no advantage in strength, they can block Liu Yu's attack, which is undoubtedly the barrier provided by the large battalion, and naturally, there is also his brave battle.
The battle for nearly two hours ended in such a hurry, dead bodies everywhere, rivers of blood, this was the most head-to-head confrontation between him and Liu Yu, so that both of them realized the strength of the opponent, in Jingkou, this one-horse Pingchuan, surrounded by only a few small dirt bags, the same dynasty is an official, and it is indeed a mortal rival force here to divide the victory and defeat.
The warships in the river set sail, the Eastern Army in the camp cleaned up the battlefield, and when the sun shone in the sky, it was as if nothing had happened on the entire river beach.
For this battle, Huan Zhen still suffered a loss in the overnight arrival of Jingkou, after a night of camping, did not expect the other party to attack the camp, so well-informed, it seems that there must be a local person who reported the news here, after nervously building towers and sending scouts to patrol everywhere, all the people in the villages within a radius of ten miles of the entire camp were driven away
For Xie Wang, the patriarch of the Xie family, who is more than successful, does not have a sharp spirit, as the oldest and most prestigious Xie Yi in the family, although he has become a branch in Xie An's generation, they are all blood relatives of an ancestor, which is incomparable to anyone in the Xie Mansion.
Xie Wang's only hobby is fishing, especially wild fishing, for him, at this age, there is no need to worry about his children, but since he became the patriarch, he has left his hobby behind, although each courtyard in the house has a separate manager, only need to report the expenses to the chief manager at the end of the month, and then the patriarch waved the pen, the money was issued, and the expenses of each courtyard were settled.
Now it's different, he was very envious of Xie Yan sitting in this position, not only can he be majestic in the army, but when he returns to the clan, even his cousin has to respect three points, when he sits on this throne, he realizes that the head of the family is really not so easy to be, in the past six months, there have been frequent wars, which has made him very busy.
Just a little better, the eldest lady passed away again, the famine hit, and it added fuel to the fire, the front foot did not touch the back foot busy, at this time, he deeply missed the days of fishing in the past, a few taels of good wine, plus a bowl of cooked edamame, leisurely fishing by the river, leisurely.
As soon as the noon sun passed, he had to rush to the soldier's village non-stop, where there were the last two stamps of food, which was the foundation of survival, and when the front foot had just stepped out of the house, Xie Yu and Xie Tang came from the courtyard.
"Uncle! Is this going out? Xie Tang bowed and asked.
"There are still two tramples of grain in the Zhuangzi, let the tribe hurry into the mansion, if you let the outside know how many untouchables go to beg for food, first keep the courtyards talking." Xie Wang waved his hand to excuse the brothers, and said while holding the goatee on his chin.
Xie Yu's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle, the little nephew received the appointment of the King of Chu, and he will go south to Jin'an County tomorrow, and I came here today to discuss things with you!" ”
Xie Wang said "um", looked at the sun outside, nodded and said, "Let's talk about something here." ”
For Xie Yu, Xie Wang has always liked this nephew, although since last year, this restless son has been causing trouble everywhere, but he has indeed earned a lot of fame, and even the mansion has been glorified, and now the other party is an adult, and he is the only child in the house who has the right to fight the army.
"Uncle, the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and there is a famine everywhere, and the little nephew came here to bring the underage children and elders of the clan to Yan County to settle down." Xie Yu explained the intention.
Dragging the second brother is nothing more than wanting to have one more person and more strength, knowing the reason, so that Xie Tang also feels reasonable, as we all know, the main war at the moment is concentrated around Jiankang, and the ability of the king of Chu will not be clear about the strength of the other party for a while, and whether he has the ability to turn things around is also the reason why many Qingming people are still waiting and seeing.
Xie Wang nodded, his expression was a little comforted, and said: "Yan County is in the mountains, I have heard that it is rich for a long time, and it is the fief of the virtuous nephew, this method is very good, and I will gather the clansmen to discuss in the evening, how about it!" ”
Xie Yu, Xie Yu leaned over and said, "Uncle Xie!" ”
Xie Wang patted this nephew on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "At a young age, you have to shoulder this responsibility, it's really difficult for you, this time I went to Jin'an County to level the bandits, be careful in everything, don't get too close to the Huan family, understand!" ”
Xie Yu knew that the clan uncle was saying that Jin An was too guarded by Huan Shisheng, and nodded, he did feel a little guilty in his heart, and he didn't know how the clansmen would feel when they knew about him in Taipei County in the future, but this matter was so important that he had to hide it, so he just lowered his head and apologized in his heart.
