Chapter 1074: The Final Battle of the Kanto Quarter IV
In the early morning, the sky was just a little misty, and in the thick fog, in the eastern sky, a round of morning sun quietly emerged, and a wisp of golden light crossed the horizon and reflected between heaven and earth.
Runan, Yang'an City.
On the city wall, queues of Wei troops were patrolling back and forth, and the Wei soldiers at the battlements were carefully guarding the movements of the Wu army outside the city, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
After all, they all knew that they were facing Lu Bu, the world's number one military general.
The name of Lu Bu alone was enough to attract the attention of 300 percent of these soldiers.
Lu Bu, the world's first military general, in the hearts of the soldiers of both the Wei army and the Wu army, he is an invincible god, and he can't pay too much attention to it, and because of this, their caution blocked Lu Bu's advance.
Lu Bu made three strong attacks, two night attacks, and one long-range sneak attack, all of which were completely told of failure.
The county hall hall.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Report to the general, the Wu army has raided the Qingshui River!"
"What?"
"This is the news from the Qingshui River Guard!" The herald handed over the message.
"Give it to me!"
Li Dian, the general of the right Xiaowei, directly seized the battle report with his big hand, and his expression became extremely grim: "Last night, the Wu army attacked the Qingshui River, just an hour to cross the river and advance north? ”
"Yes!"
The herald bowed his head, nodded and said: "The offensive of the Wu army is too strong, and the three thousand soldiers we stationed in the Qingshui River are basically all killed under the sudden forcible attack, so we still have no idea how many troops the Wu army sent north!" ”
"Check it out now!" Li Dian gritted his teeth and shouted: "I want the shortest time to know the number of troops they have to go north." Make no mistake! ”
"No!"
After the herald left, the faces of the generals of the Wei army in the hall became stern.
Li Dian's heart became more and more impatient, he walked out of the position, and looked at the terrain of the detailed topographic map on the sand table.
"At this time, they gave up on taking Yang'an. What is the intention of suddenly going north from the location of the Qingshui River? ”
Li Dian gritted his teeth and muttered.
Qingshui River and Shangcai are far from each other, if they go north from Qingshui River and capture Shangcai, then the detour will be big, which is impossible to cause the effect of a surprise attack, as long as they send troops from the north gate, they can intercept the offensive of the Wu army at any time.
If it weren't for the capture of Shang Cai. So what is Wu Jun's intention?
Li Dian's mind was a little confused, and he cried out through gritted teeth: "Lu Bu! Lu Bu! Lu Bu!!! ”
Each time he shouted, he felt more and more heaviness in his heart.
His opponent was Lu Bu, and he didn't dare to underestimate it.
"Guan Yang!"
A middle-aged man in a Confucian robe stood up and said to this Li Dian: "General, the Wu army is very likely to capture Guanyang!" ”
"Shuji, you mean to say. Lu Bu wants to take Guanyang? ”
When Li Dian heard this, he hurriedly looked at the topographic map of the sand table. With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly became ugly: "But why do you want to be Guanyang, how do you look at Guanyang City, it's a little insignificant!" ”
"General, you see, they just need to cross the position of the Qingshui River. Less than ten miles north, it is Guanyang City, Guanyang City is not important, but after they take Guanyang, they have another choice. On the one hand, they can wait for the opportunity to capture Shangcai, it may be a little difficult to detour from Guanyang to Shangcaicheng, and they are all mountain roads, there is no official road, it is not easy to walk, but it is not impossible to walk, this road is still open, and the most important point, the northwest of Guanyang, which is the closest to the direction of Yingchuan, can go straight to Yingchuan County, and the three-day journey can approach Xudu! ”
The middle-aged name of the Confucian robe is Wang Xiu, the word Shuzhi, Qingzhou Beihai Yingling people, about forty years old, since the end of the Han Dynasty, he has served the great Confucian Kong Rong, and then devoted himself to the Jin State, and was once the strategist of Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shao, and finally after the defeat of the Jin State, he devoted himself to Cao Wei.
He is considered half of Kong Rong's disciple, and he is also a little famous in Cao Wei Shilin, when Cao Wei's twelve guards and horses were reorganized, he was recruited into the army, and now he is the master of the right Xiaowei, managing the affairs of the right Xiaowei, and he can be regarded as Li Dian's military advisor, and he has a certain military strategy.
"Xu Du?"
When Li Dian heard this, his eyes burst with a cold glow: "Lu Bu wants to take Xu Du!" ”
"Lu Bu failed to attack Yang'an three times, he knew that he couldn't take Yang'an City for a while, so naturally he couldn't attack Shangcai City directly, but they didn't want to be so deadlocked, at this time, it was not impossible to find another shortcut and go north to Xudu!"
Wang Xiu groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, I doubt that it is possible for them to look east and attack the west!" ”
The east is Shangcai, and the west is Xudu.
There is no room for error.
"How?" Li Dian's mood became heavy.
"General, although the battlefield of our decisive battle is now in the land of Runan, but our army is backed by Yingchuan, without the support of Yingchuan, we can't even survive for three days, Yingchuan is our back road, once Yingchuan is lost, it will definitely be a catastrophe for our hundreds of thousands of main forces!" Wang Xiu reminded in a low voice.
"You're right, because of this, Lu Bu should also understand the importance we attach to Yingchuan, what if they just make a false move?"
Li Dian said cautiously: "He just has the intention to let us divide our troops so that we can capture Yang'an, so what should we do?" ”
"We don't rule it out!"
Wang Xiu nodded, groaned for a while, and said: "But general, now they have only used an hour, and it has already broken through our defense and forcibly crossed the Qingshui River, which is enough to prove that they are not weak in using troops, so it doesn't look like a false move!" ”
"Is it a false trick, we still have to see if they can take Guanyang!"
Li Dian squinted his eyes and said calmly and calmly: "Before there is no news from Guanyang, we can't move without permission, Yang'an is the throat of Shangcai in the north, Shangcai is the command center of our army, we can afford to lose Guanyang, we can't lose Yang'an, even if we lose Guanyang, we still have time to deploy!" ”
"We have one in Guanyang, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and Lin Bo, the captain of the town guard, is a strong general!" Wang Xiu nodded: "If he can hold Guanyang, then it can prove that Wu Jun is just a false move." The main force is still on the outskirts of the city, waiting for the opportunity! ”
"Wait!"
Li Dian said: "In this case, we are waiting for the news of Guanyang to make a decision, and you will immediately send all the scout elite soldiers under your command." Carefully observe the camp of the Wu army on the outskirts of the city, at any cost, I want to be completely clear about the strength of the troops on the outskirts of the city! ”
"No!"
Wang Xiu nodded.
In the increasingly tense atmosphere in the city, time passed little by little, and the sun above his head rose higher and higher, becoming more and more violent, and at about noon, Li Dian walked up to the city wall and stood on the head of the city. Looking at the gate of the Wu military camp looming outside the city.
"Lu Bu, I want to see, what tricks are you playing?" Li Dian muttered coldly.
After noon, a scout came to report: "General, Guanyang has been lost!" ”
"When?" Li Dian turned his head suddenly.
"Half an hour ago!"
The scout gave his hand, and under Li Dian's fierce momentum, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Wu army is attacking fiercely, after crossing the Qingshui River. In less than an hour, the army was already under the city. It only took less than three hours before and after to take down Guanyang! ”
"From Qingshui River to Guanyang, it only took five hours before and after, and they actually let them break through one by one?" When Li Dian heard this, his two fists clenched tightly, and his eyes became cold.
This moment. He was a little shaken.
It seems that the main force of the Wu army is heading north?
He was still a little cautious, he didn't want to believe this, and he had to ask for the truth.
"General, there's news from the scouts outside the city that they're back!"
At this time, Wang Xiu followed closely and walked up to the city gate. He bowed to Li Dian and said: "Wu Jun's camp, everything is as usual, there are no fewer troops, and there is no shortage of camp tents, no less stoves, but ......"
"But what?"
"Our scouts have found some traces of scarecrow cover in the barracks of their camp, so now we can be sure that they should have sent most of their main force north, and the situation outside the city, to show us, confuses us and makes us think that their main force is still outside the city!"
Wang Xiudao: "I suspect that at this time, Lu Bu has personally led the main force of the Wu army to the north, regardless of whether their target is still Shangcai or ...... Yingchuan, for us, is very dangerous! ”
"Looks like we're going to split our troops!" Li Dian couldn't believe it at this time, he said in a deep voice.
"How?" Wang Xiu asked.
"Yang'an can't afford to lose, I will lead the troops to defend the town, and you, personally lead 20,000 elite soldiers, immediately go north, take the first step, before Guanyang or Shangcai, block them to the death, don't let them enter Yingchuan or Shangcai!" Since Li Dian has made up his mind, he did not drag the mud and water, and his movements were clean and neat.
"General, in this way, your troops here are weak!" Wang Xiu was a little worried.
"Didn't you say that their main force is not on the outskirts of the city? Since the matter has come to this point, we have no choice but to let them go north, and on my side, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they can still defend the city, and they should be able to hold Yang'an, I don't think there is a problem in this regard. Li Dian said.
"No!"
Wang Xiu nodded and took the order.
On the same day, they had already divided their troops, and in less than an hour, Wang Xiu ordered all the troops and horses, personally led 20,000 elites, and set off towards Guanyang non-stop, intending to intercept the northward trend of the Wu army in Guanyang.
Evening.
On the outskirts of the city, Wu military camp village.
"False and real, Li Mancheng, you have finally been fooled!"
Lu Bu looked at the news of the scout's return, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, he raised his head, and looked at the division commanders under his command: "Everyone, now that the bait has been baited, use the flying pigeon of the Jinyi Guard to pass the book, send me a message to Dong Raid, immediately abandon Guanyang, and then lead the troops to attack back, and start the battle to capture Yang'an from the north!" ”
He never thought of capturing Yingchuan and Shangcai, and his goal was always Yang'an City.
Doing so much, going around and around, all just to confuse the Wei army and let them divide their troops to the north so that they could capture Yang'an, it is obvious that his strategy was successful, and Li Dian attached great importance to the land of Yingchuan, but he was still fooled.
"No!"
One of the hundred households of the Flying Tiger Legion stationed in the brocade guard immediately received the order, and then went to convey the order.
"Pass my order, all divisions are ready to fight, and at tonight, officially capture Yang'an City, once the war starts, build a pontoon bridge in a quarter of an hour, cross the moat, and directly attack, without any strategy, at any cost, capture this city with your life!"
Lu Bu said categorically.
"No!"
When the division commanders heard this, their fighting spirit was high, and they bowed to their leaders.
After sunset, the hazy night gradually covered this side of the world, tonight's starry sky is unusually bright, a bright moon hangs high, the full moon is in the sky, shining on the world.
Wang Xiu led 20,000 Wei troops to rush non-stop and successfully arrived at the city of Guanyang.
"Report!"
"Say!"
"The city is very quiet, and there is no trace of the Wu army defending the city!" The scout bowed his head and said.
"What?"
Wang Xiu frowned a little: "Could it be that Wu Jun has already left Guanyang and gone north?" ”
"General Bookkeeper, is the Wu army an empty city plan?" A lieutenant came up and whispered.
"Quite possibly!"
Wang Xiu nodded, raised his head, looked at the night, and said, "But we can't wait, Han Zi, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses, tentatively attack, and see the reaction of the Wu army in the city!" ”
"No!"
A burly warrior stepped forward with a broadsword in his hand, led three thousand soldiers, carefully crossed the moat, and then headed for the quiet city gate.
But an expected siege did not come as planned.
They entered the city with ease.
About an hour later, Captain Han Zi personally went out of the city to report: "General Chief, we have searched the whole city, and we have not found any trace of the Wu army soldiers in the city, we have asked some people, the Wu army has just captured the city in the afternoon, and it has already left Guanyang!" ”
"From what direction?"
"It's not very clear!" Han Zi said: "However, the scout is in the direction of Beicheng, and there is no trace of the march!" ”
"Not good!"
Wang Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility, he turned his horse's head and shouted: "The cavalry comes with me, the foot soldiers quickly follow, pass on my military order, and return to Yang'an City immediately!" ”
……
Under the cover of night, in the quiet Yang'an City, the sound of drums suddenly broke out, resounding in the sky, breaking the silence of the night.
Knock knock knock......
The sound of the drum is a clarion call for attack.
The battle was fought above the north gate of Yang'an.
When Li Dian in the city heard the news, he hurriedly walked to the head of the north gate of Yang'an, looked at the Wu army under the city, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes: "Damn, the Wu army camp is in the south, how can there be a Wu army in the north?" (To be continued.) )
