Chapter 62: The Verge
In the early morning of the next day, the Jiangdong Army of Xiangnan City.
Lu Meng was promoted to the general early, and all the generals of the army were present, Lu Meng looked coldly at the Jiangdong generals who were as quiet as cicadas, and said in a deep voice: "All the monarchs are fierce generals who have been famous for a long time, that is, Cao Cao in the north heard that all the kings should pay attention to one or two, why can even a partial general under the command of Jingnan thieves be able to intercept my Jiangdong 50,000 troops on the side of Lianshui, and they must not be saved!" And the Jingnan army on the south bank is less than 20,000! β
The generals lowered their heads silently, even if they wanted to come to the arrogant and arrogant He Qi, they had to admit it, shaking their heads and sighing.
The battles in the past few days have to make the Jiangdong generals re-acquaint themselves with this Wang Chong, who followed Huo Yi to fight in the south and the north, but only had the rank of general.
"Dudu, the last general thinks that since our army can't break through head-on, why not find another way to attack Lingling, I heard that the Jingnan army in the Fuyi and Zhaoyang areas were all transferred by Wang Chong to the Xiangxiang area to defend it, and it was very ......empty," Pan Zhang said.
Before Pan Zhang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Meng raising his hand, and Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "Make a report carefully!" Huo Yi had arrived in Wuling a few days ago, it can be seen that his army in Hanzhong will soon return, and at this moment he will divide his troops to Zhaoyang and Fuyi, not to mention, if he can't cross the south bank, he won't even have a chance to attack. Our army is 50,000 people, and there are less than 20,000 horses on the south bank. You don't have confidence in Koto Jiro like this? Or are you already afraid of this partial general under Huo Yi? In this way, our army will immediately return to Jiangdong and never look eastward! β
All the generals were ashamed when they heard this, and even arrogant figures like He Qi were very indignant.
He Qi came out of the class and said: "The governor and don't provoke me to wait, and with my 5,000 men, today He is willing to be the striker, and he will take the south bank of this thief to the death!" Otherwise, come to the Governor! β
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Meng was about to issue an attack order, but a guard outside the tent shouted: "Governor of the capital! Striker scouts are coming! β
Lu Meng's face froze: "Come in and say!" β
But when he saw a scout coming in from outside the tent, the soldier clenched his fists: "Report to the governor." The general waited for a boat to inspect the water village this morning, and found that the Jingnan Army Village on the south bank had changed its banner! In the past, the "Wang" flag was changed, and it was replaced with the "Huo" flag, and the book "Han Zhenjun General Jingnan Du Huo" was a banner that had never been seen before! I don't know if it's Huo Yi's banner. β
When the generals in the tent heard this, they were all sitting and lying down, and they exchanged their heads and ears, even He Qi, who was just about to be a striker, also changed his face, and Lu Meng's eyes were slightly lost for a moment, and he waved away the scout Dubo, but the atmosphere in the tent was slightly stagnant. Huo Yi's arrival made everyone in the tent know clearly. This strategy for storming the south bank must be carefully considered.
Huo Yi is no better than others. In the first battle of Jingnan, he completely defeated the two major governors of LΓΌ Meng and Lu Su. captured Xu Sheng, and then killed the Jiangdong general Chen Wu during the Wuling Barbarian Rebellion, in the Jiangdong army, at the same time that everyone hated. It also has the meaning of making Jiangdong generals jealous, after all, few people can have the strategic skills of Lu Meng and Lu Su, the courage of Xu Sheng and Chen Wu, and even such characters were defeated under Huo Yi, and if they want to be enemies with him, they really have to weigh one or two.
Lu Meng's slight stagnation was also seen by the Jiangdong generals, and the generals also understood in their hearts that Huo Yi had become the demon of the Governor of Lu. If you can't pass this hurdle and win this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lu Dudu to turn over in his life.
He Qi was still standing in the middle of the generals, waiting for Lu Meng's answer, but his heart was extremely bitter. Huo Yi's prestige is that the cry of Jiangdong Zhizi can also be stopped, a few years ago in the war, 20,000 Jiangdong Erlang hated Jingnan, which has made Jiangdong people engrave the name of this young man in their bones.
Lu Meng was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at He Qi under the hall, and said in a deep voice: "General He, the opponent on the other side has been replaced, I won't talk about Huo Yi's ability, you know, do you still dare to lead the army as a pioneer?" β
He Qi's heart was stunned when he heard this, looking at the resolute look in Lu Meng's eyes, He Qi clenched his fists: "Dare not obey orders, He has been crisscrossing Jiangdong for more than ten years, are you still afraid of a shaft?" β
"Good! General He is really a warrior! Governor, Gan Ning is willing to work with General He to lead the men and horses of his headquarters to fight against the Jingnan Army! That's what if Huo Yi is brave again? Who have I ever been afraid of? Lu Meng looked at it, but it was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.
The generals listened to the words of Gan Ning and He Qi, and their spirits were also lifted.
Lu Meng saw all this in his eyes, looked at Gan Ning, sometimes this Gan Ning's courage and bravery are indeed the soul of the Jiangdong Army, and sure enough, the lord praised Gan Ning for being more reasonable than Zhang Liao in the north.
Hearing this, Lu Meng nodded and said, "The lord has all the kings to assist, why worry about Jingzhou?" Good! With the two generals of Gongmiao and Xingba as the vanguard, he led 8,000 troops to attack the water village on the south bank! General Huang and General Pan led the first naval army on the left, General Han and General Zhu led the first naval army on the right, and the rest of the generals followed the army led by the governor to press the formation in the rear. Half an hour later, the troops were dispatched, and each general returned to his base camp and mobilized his men. Today I have to compete with Jingnan Shaft! β
When the generals heard this, they were all shocked, and replied loudly: "Oh! β
In the eyes of the Jingnan army, although his own general is a young boy, he seems to be an invincible general, and the famous Jiangdong general Lu Meng on the other side can only be deflated in the hands of his own general. Although the 50,000 horses on the other side were noisy, and the soldiers on the south bank were out of breath, Huo Yi's arrival was like the sun shining through the dark clouds, and everything was so relaxed and beautiful.
In fact, Huo Yi had already arrived in Xiangxiang last night, but in order to boost morale, he still camped outside the city and led reinforcements into the city after dawn.
At this moment, the faces of the soldiers in the city were completely new compared to the dullness of the previous two days.
Huo Yi led a group of Lingling County soldiers into the city, and the county soldiers behind him were all good sons of Lingling County, how could they have seen such a scene, the cheers in Xiangxiang City, the sound of shaking the sky.
"Uncle Han, I heard that you fought with General Huo? He looks so young, he looks about the same age as me, how can he be so powerful? The newly recruited county soldier looked at the middle-aged man surnamed Han beside him and said. The new pawn on his side listened to the soldier's question, and all looked at the old pawn, wanting to know what was going on.
In the eyes of these young soldiers, this middle-aged man surnamed Han is sometimes stern and sometimes kind, and the spear and saber in his hand are very good. I heard that a few years ago, in the first battle of Jingnan, this middle-aged man surnamed Han was a member of Huo Yi's army.
The middle-aged man surnamed Han smiled proudly when he heard this: "Hmm, General Huo is really a god, and he knows the enemy well, so every move of Lu Meng and Lu Su is expected by General Huo." That battle was really the easiest battle my old Han had ever fought, I used to be under General Guan, and then transferred to General Huo, I felt that the battle could be fought like this for the first time! β
"General Huo's martial arts are also very tight, do you know General Xu Shengxu? That is also a world-famous fierce general, in the hands of General Huo, after a few rounds, he was captured by the general! It's true that General Huo is young, but it's not something that you miscellaneous fish can compare! β
The words of this middle-aged man surnamed Han are not a match, but these young county guards are very round when they hear it, this is an era of heroes, only capable characters will be talked about by people, and at this moment, Huo Yi, the actual master of Jingnan, has officially entered their hearts, they don't know that what Huo Yi opened for them is about to be a picture that they will never forget.
Huo Yi's instructor system is very well implemented in the army, this army is different from any army in this era, they are loyal to Huo Yi, they know that their behavior is not just for fame and achievement.
As soon as Huo Yi arrived in Xiangxiang, he immediately understood the situation at the moment, along the way, Wang Chong had already told him his deployment, and Huo Yi also agreed very much, at this moment, it was extremely unwise to divide troops and defend, but it would be counterproductive, and it would be a gap for the Jiangdong army, and each one would be broken.
