Chapter Ninety-Nine: Whose Era
Seeing this, Wang Fu's heart was even more excited, and he raised the sword in his hand: "Soldiers, avenge the dead brothers, don't let one go!" Shoulder to shoulder with me! ”
These armor soldiers are all the remaining hundreds of the three thousand, at this moment the situation is reversed, no longer rigid, pick up the weapons in their hands, followed by the thin but tough body, although they are civil officials, but many of them are half heroic Wang Fu, all rushed forward.
Where do the black-clothed armor soldiers still have the ability to resist at this moment, thousands of Jingnan naval troops boarded the southern city of Xiangyang, the warships blocked both ends of the drawbridge, and some of the remaining black-clothed armored soldiers tried to escape from the water in vain, but at this moment they can only lament that their fate is so bitter, all the sailors under the command of Huo Yi are soldiers, how can they let go of the enemy army from the water, but this is not before the war, they first lost the name of the Jingnan army sailors?
On the mountain peak in the distance, Zhang He's face was cold, and the moonlight shone on his face, which was even more gloomy.
The deputy general beside him said slowly: "General, sure enough, I should listen to General Cao Ziwen's advice......" The deputy general dared to continue, but he saw Zhang He's cold expression, and swallowed back the original words stiffly, and said no more than half a word.
Zhang He sighed slowly, waved his hand, and led the guards down the mountain, these dead soldiers were destroyed, what can they do if they stand here, now that the vanguard of Huo Yi's army has arrived in Xiangyang, it must be not far from here.
Zhang He exhaled heavily, and said in a voice like a broken wind: "Order the troops to retreat to the village thirty miles north of Xiangyang City, and wait for reinforcements." ”
The deputy general finally spoke when he saw Zhang He, although his voice was ugly, it was much better than his gloomy face. He also knew that Zhang He's performance was enough to prove that his words and deeds just now did not offend Zhang He. He nodded slowly: "Wow! ”
Wang Fu was sitting in front of a stone carving in front of the storage door, panting heavily, he was a scribe after all, although the swordsmanship in his hand was good. But in the end, his physical strength was much worse, chasing the black-clothed armor soldier, only slashing and killing two or three people, but he couldn't bear the weakness of his arms.
Beside Wang Fu stood a man with a sallow face and red armor, his eyebrows were wide, but he was very open.
Wang Fu smiled bitterly: "It's a joke for General Xingba, compared to General Xingba, there are many shortcomings!" ”
Gan Ning is very knowledgeable: "The king is polite." Gan Moujie Wufu. It's just on this punch and kick kung fu. A slight advantage. ”
Wang Fu finally relieved himself, looked at Gan Ning, and said with a smile: "Now there is General Xingba sitting here." Wang is going to be easier after all. I have long heard that General Huo himself is brave, and the generals under his command are also brave people. General Gan is a leader, right? ”
Gan Ning shook his head: "General Huo's people are more powerful than me, Gan has a slight ability, and he only has some opinions on the sailor, and he is just the captain of the ship." ”
Wang Fu got up slowly: "In any case, General Gan is Wang's life-saving benefactor, and Wang has thanked General Gan first." ”
Gan Ning nodded: "Wang Zhi hurry up and count the materials, don't lose anything." The last general then commanded the sergeants to deal with the battlefield and clean up the defenses in case Cao's army came again. ”
Wang Fu nodded, Gan Ning made a gesture, and then retreated to reorganize the army.
Wang Fu slowly calmed down, led several officials behind him, and entered the warehouse.
Xiangyang North City, the city guard Zhao Lei saw that Zhang He suddenly retreated from the army was puzzled, but he received a battle report sent from the south city, look carefully, Zhao Lei was shocked, it turned out that Zhang He attacked his own at the same time, actually sent countless dead soldiers to get up from the water, attack Xiangyang South City, really cunning.
The adjutant general on the side suddenly frowned when he saw Zhao Lei, suddenly happy, and was puzzled: "General, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Lei said: "Zhang He sent 3,000 elite people to lurk in Nancheng from Xiangshui, to seize Nancheng, Nancheng Wang Fu soldiers and horses were injured most of them, but unexpectedly, Huo Shaoxianhuo's water army from Xiangshui to Xiangyang, the new Jiangdong Army General Gan Ning arrived here to kill the thief generals and destroy the plot of the thief army. It's really that people are not as good as heaven! ”
The generals in the tent were all overjoyed when they heard this, yes, why did Zhang He suddenly withdraw from the army, it was nothing more than hearing that General Huo had arrived in Xiangfan, if not, how could that cunning character abandon Xiangyang and retreat away?
In the past few days, the frequent battles have exhausted the soldiers in the city, and the news of the arrival of reinforcements at this time is undoubtedly a shot in the arm and invigorates the decadent army. Because, for the soldiers of Jingzhou, Huo Yi is a god-of-war existence comparable to Guan Yu, and since Huo Yi came from Rong, he seems to have not tasted defeat, which is why Huo Yi is in a high position at such a young age. Even the soldiers and horses in his hands are more than those in the hands of Guan Yu, the official governor of Jingzhou.
Huo Yi is resting in the area of Dangyang in Nanjun County at the moment, and it has taken a lot of time from Jingling to Dangyang, and the scouts have been reporting to him all the time about the movements of the Cao army in the north, there is no doubt that the Cao army is already assembling, and even many generals have been transferred from various defense areas to the Luoyang area.
Not to mention other places, Luoyang and Wancheng alone have gathered more than 70,000 military horses, plus more than 40,000 elite Cao troops have been invested in the land of Xiangfan, and the Cao army has more than 100,000 military horses in Xiangfan.
Huo Yi knew very well that this battle meant that both sides could not lose, and once one side was defeated, it would even enter a disadvantage forever for more than ten years, and it would be passive.
Huo Yi was a little unsure in his heart, the night shrouded the earth, and the moonlight sprinkled on the side of the tent, making Huo Yi feel a little unreal, once upon a time, he was just a wandering student struggling in the pile of old papers in his previous life, and he never thought that he would be able to experience such an era.
But everything is really happening now, the fact is that he is working hard to make this era change little by little, and now, the next battle, will determine whether his footsteps can continue, he knows very well that once he succeeds, what kind of impact will it have on him, to Liu Bei, to Cao Cao, and to future history, it must be drastic and completely different.
Early the next morning, the army made food on the third watch, and the camp on the fifth watch, starting from the north of Dangyang City thirty miles, slowly and mightily marched to the muddy land of Xiangfan.
Huo Yi was a little nervous, of course he knew that the battle-hardened military horses in the north were much more elite than the Jiangdong army, which he could clearly compare in the battle of Hanzhong and the offensive and defensive battle of Jingnan. He is a little unsure, but whenever he thinks of this, and then crosses the horse and longs the long and unseen parts under his command, Huo Yi is also more ambitious.
Yes, these horses have been trained by their own hands, Hanzhong and Jingnan have never disappointed themselves, and Xiangfan must be the same, Huo Yi's whole person suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum, looking at the northern sky under the cover of the morning sun, Huo Yi's confidence doubled.
Because Shuzhong has just seized power, it is the first time to go through the battle of Hanzhong, the grain and grass have been exhausted, Huo Yi knows the reason, he did not send a letter to Chengdu for help, he is more afraid that Shuzhong will send a military advisor, which will seriously restrict the freedom of his own action, at this time the master of Xiangfan will be Guan Yu, but Guan Yu has always trusted himself very much, what he said, I think he does not listen, but will also consider one or two, but once someone comes to Shuzhong, he will inevitably have to point fingers at his actions, and there will be worries about constraints.
It was because Huo Yi only wrote a battle report, and he was even extremely optimistic about this battle, because he believed in the combat power of the military horses in his hands, and even more believed that his partner with Guan Yu would inevitably make Cao Cao cold, because his subordinates were also star-studded at the moment, and the strong troops looked around.
Moreover, there is a lot of water in the Xiangfan area, he specially led Ganning's sailors, and there are also many soldiers under Guan Yu who are familiar with the boat, on the contrary, the soldiers of the North will be extremely unaccustomed to the climate and terrain of this place. The most important thing is that it will greatly limit the play of the cavalry in the military horses under Cao Cao's command, and the northern military horses without cavalry are undoubtedly like having an arm broken.
Compared with the foot soldiers and the navy, how can the military horses led by Huo Yi be empty? The people of Bashu, Shanyue, Wulingman and other places are good at foot combat and are extremely brave.
Huo Yi looked into the distance and said coldly: "Cao Mengde, old man!" This era doesn't belong to you anymore! ”
