Chapter 184: Surprise Attack
Since Zhang Ji dragged the dying Liu Qi back from the death line two years ago, he has been in a painful struggle to survive, and the reason why he was able to survive tenaciously for two years is not so much because of Zhang Ji's medical skills, but because of his tenacious will to survive.
Regarding the war with Liu Bei, although Liu Feng had been plotting for a long time, he had been hiding it from Liu Qi, and until today, when he was sure of victory, he personally told Liu Qi about the plan to start a war.
Liu Feng hopes that this news can make the terminally ill Liu Qi persist until the day when he returns to Jiangling, the core city of Jingzhou, from the remote place of Linxiang.
Liu Feng wanted to let him enjoy the glory of the state pastor before Liu Qi's death.
Sure enough, Liu Qi heard his resolute words, and he was dying, as if he had been injected with a heart booster, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to be back to the light.
"Ah Feng, my body, I'm afraid I can't fight side by side with you, you are alone, you must be careful."
Liu Qi has a little regret, now he is looking forward to being able to fight with Liu Feng and create a career together, but he knows that it is impossible.
Liu Feng clenched Liu Qi's hand and said with an indifferent smile: "The matter of going into battle to kill the enemy, just leave it to the foolish brother, after I leave, I will have Brother Lao to stay in the rear of the town, so that I can rest assured that I can fight to the death with Guan Yu!" ”
Liu Qi knew very well that his body had reached this point, and it was no different from waste, Liu Feng said that, in fact, he just wanted to comfort him, let him know that he was still useful, and he could still contribute to their great cause.
Liu Qi was moved for a while, so he nodded solemnly: "You can go with confidence, I will definitely stabilize the rear for you, waiting for the good news of your victory." ”
Liu Qi's words are tantamount to a promise that he will definitely live strong until the day when Liu Feng takes Jingzhou.
With Liu Qi's words, Liu Feng felt a lot more relieved, so he laughed and said proudly: "Okay, then I'll go to that foolish brother, let's see you in Jiangling." ”
comforted Liu Qi again, and Liu Feng said goodbye.
Seeing Liu Feng disappear into the winding path of the garden, Liu Qi, who was originally with a pale smile, suddenly changed his face, only to feel the blood in his chest agitated, the pain was unbearable, and he coughed uncontrollably.
He was afraid that this cough would alarm Liu Feng, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands, only twitching in such pain, and he didn't know how long it took for the surging qi and blood to gradually spread, and when he let go of his hand, his palms were already full of purple blood.
It was late at night, but in the water village in the west of Xiangcheng, it was brightly lit.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, more than 10,000 Changsha troops gathered here from all over the place were standing silently with excitement in their hearts at this moment.
Most of these people, who two years ago were farmers who could only farm the fields, or displaced refugees, have never remembered such a difficult time since they were called up as a soldier under General Zhennan two years ago.
They remembered that the generals named Ma Tan and Chen Zhi were training them as if they were crazy, and every time they were trained on foot and mountain marching, they went at least 30 miles at a time.
In addition, the game attack technique, the formation coordination, but also keep in mind the golden drum banner and other orders, as well as the face of every comrade in the team. In the past two years, they have sweated more than in a lifetime.
Despite this, they did not complain, because they had not tasted hunger for a long time since they had been soldiers, and they were very convinced that their Zhennan general had clear rewards and punishments, and that he treated everyone fairly.
Today, they gathered here, all of them were tall, short, fat and thin, but everyone was full of energy, and their calm and resolute faces exuded a strong yang aura of decisive battle.
Although they are not as sophisticated as Liu Beijun in the north, their calm and cold murderous aura is not inferior to those veterans who have blood in their swords.
The silent camp suddenly became agitated. From Yuanmen to the trestle bridge, more than 10,000 soldiers automatically split out a road if the waves opened.
At the gate of the gate, a tall horse with an extremely strong head slowly walked.
The owner of the pony was seven feet long, with broad shoulders, a handsome face, and a high and straight nose, and although there was still a trace of immaturity on his face, the eagle eyes with thick eyebrows contained a fortitude and composure far beyond his age.
This young warrior was none other than Liu Feng, the general of Zhennan whom they had feared for a long time.
At this moment, Liu Feng was wearing a black eagle-patterned iron helmet, a silver-gray necklace hanging softly on his shoulders, and a gray-white iron armor covered with a silver cloak.
He held the reins in one hand, and in the other he carried a large silver spear, a sword at his waist, a large bow on his back, and a huge quiver on each side of the saddle.
He walked forward like this, slowly passing through the eyes of the crowd, and under the reflection of the torches, he was like a majestic god of war from the sky.
Without a word, just the supreme coercion made everyone can't help but prostrate at his feet.
Liu Feng rode his horse to the side of the trestle, turned his horse and looked back at the more than 10,000 people, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility in his heart.
These 10,000 young people will now follow themselves to realize their dreams of great causes, and 10,000 fresh lives are all in their own hands.
If this battle is not successful, it will be benevolent.
After looking around for a long time, Liu Feng shot a heavy gun and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”
……………… 10,000 soldiers and horses, divided into two teams, more than 100 ships.
The front team of more than 3,000 people, all led by Liu Feng himself, has more than 30 ships, and all of them are ordinary transport ships.
Liu Feng hid his 3,000 elite soldiers in the cabin of the ship, and he was not allowed to appear on the deck without an order. The sailors who rocked the oars and sailed on the deck were unarmoured and wore the clothes of ordinary people, the so-called white.
The entire front fleet pretended to be a cargo ship, and went north along the Xiangshui River under the banner of sending grain to Dongwu, and the rear team of 7,000 soldiers, led by Ma Jian and Chen Zhi respectively, followed by Liu Feng's fleet, and then traveled half a day before and after.
At dusk the next day, the ships of the front team left the Xiangshui Estuary north and entered the Dongting Lake basin.
As soon as it came out of Xiangkou, the fleet collided with the Dongwu patrol ship from Baqiu, because Liu Feng had previously claimed to Lu Su that he would send a transport team to transport a batch of grain and grass to Dongwu, so Lu Su had already made a branch to the Baqiu side of the navy, so the Dongwu patrol ship did not go on the boat to check after asking the origin.
After successfully avoiding the patrol eyes and ears of Soochow, more than 30 transport ships diverted to the west and headed straight for Gong'an City, an important town in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
To say that Guan Yu's precautions against the beacon tower are indeed enough, even Pang Tong, although he came up with the pretense of accompanying Sun Shangxiang to deceive Guan Yu into leaving Changsha, but he also failed to think of a plan to crack the beacon tower for a while.
Fortunately, Pang Tong has Liu Feng, the lord with a "plug-in", in history, Lu Meng once used a trick to "cross the river in white" to easily crack the Yangtze River defense line that Guan Yu painstakingly managed, and all Liu Feng had to do was simply copy.
After the fleet in the name of merchant ships arrived at the Guan Yu Defense Zone, the patrols of the beacon towers along the way did not have any vigilance at all, and in the case of accepting bribes, they all allowed the fleet to dock, and as a result, all the sentry posts, including the sergeants standing guard, were all restrained by the sudden attack of Liu Fengjun.
After controlling dozens of beacon towers along the way one by one, two days later, at dawn, Liu Feng, who had traveled a long distance, and his 3,000 pioneers, finally saw the towering public security city erected by the river.
In the public security city, the guards at this moment are drinking and having fun.
It's not so much fun as relieving sorrow.
In the battle of Linxiang a few years ago, Shiren was responsible for luring Liu Feng out of the city to rob the grain in accordance with Guan Yu's order, but Guan Yu fell for the three-ring fraud plan of the people, and the result was that the grain and grass were lost, and the siege loss was lost.
After the war, Shiren originally thought that he was just acting on orders, but he was almost beheaded by Guan Yu in anger, and he was only survived by Xu Shu's intercession, and as a result, he was beaten with fifty military sticks.
It was precisely because of those fifty sticks that he suffered an internal wound on his waist, and every time the seasons of late autumn and early winter alternated, he would feel sore.
Only by drinking alcohol can you paralyze your nerves and relieve the pain caused by your waist.
A glass of wine had just been eaten, and suddenly a personal soldier entered in a panic and shouted: "General, something is wrong, Liu ...... Liu...... Liu Feng's army has been slaughtered outside the city! ”
Shiren thought it was a big deal, but when he heard this, he glanced at his own soldiers and reprimanded: "What nonsense, Liu Feng has already gone to Moling, how can he appear in the public security, you will drink high in broad daylight, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you with a military stick." ”
Seeing that Shiren didn't believe it, the pro-soldier knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted in fear: "The little one is not talking nonsense, there are really a lot of Changsha soldiers who have suddenly killed outside, and it is indeed Liu Feng's banner." ”
Shiren was a little flustered at this time, quickly put down the wine glass, and went straight to the head of the public security city before he could put it on.
When I went up to the city, I saw countless enemy soldiers outside the city, and the flames were soaring, and I don't know where to kill the army that had been waving the banner of Liu Feng, and suddenly broke through the more than 2,000 river waterproof troops on the riverside, and easily captured the water village and more than 200 warships.
"How so? General Guan clearly said that Liu Feng went to Moling, how could he suddenly appear in the public security? How did this army enter the city, the beacon tower along the river, are you blind, why don't you report it early? ”
A series of questions made Shiren fall into an incomparable panic, although he still had 3,000 soldiers in his hands, but he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to order the city gate to be closed on the one hand, and on the other hand sent people to rush to Guan Yu in Wuling for help.
