Chapter 612: The Battle of Crossing the River
"Your Excellency trusts the soldiers of the wolves so much?" Seeing that the painting style and Zeng Pei were leaving, Zhang Fei asked in a deep voice. After all, Zhang Fei led Cao's army to battle for the first time, and he still felt very rusty in many places. Zhang Fei, the elite of the wolf pack, has heard of it, but he has always believed that hearing is false and seeing is believing.
"Don't worry, after the army crosses the river, Yide will know whether the soldiers of the wolf pack are trustworthy." Zhao Fei said with a smile.
Subsequently, he asked Zhang Fei to prepare for the crossing of the river. At this time, he was racing against time, crossing the river and taking Liyang before Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan joined forces.
Although the news of Cao's army sending troops has come out, it will take a while for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to form an alliance, and he just wants to cherish this time and take the important town of Liyang as soon as possible.
Zhang Fei was obviously a good general, and in a short time, he was ready to ferry. And the soldiers of the wolf pack were also ready, and then under Zhao Fei's order, two thousand wolf soldiers boarded the ferry, and then slowly headed towards the opposite shore.
On the ferry, the style of painting is obviously not applicable, and he seems to have a natural seasickness physique. And Zeng Pei, who was beside him, frowned when he saw the expression of the painting style, looking for this situation to continue, whether the painting style can fight or not.
But fortunately, this did not last long, and just when the painting style was soft, the ferry finally arrived on the other side.
The painting style was helped off the ferry, and after this incident, the painting style swore that he would never take the boat again. Of course, he had made vows like this before, but in the end he broke them one by one.
"Rather than Lang making this vow with all his might, it is better to rest well to deal with the next battle, as long as you are still the commander of the wolf pack, you don't look like a commander at all." Zeng Pei looked at the soft painting style and said sarcastically on the side.
Although I have the heart to refute this style of painting, but now that I am in this state, the style of painting has no strength to refute it.
"Take a good rest, I think if Yuan Jun has the heart, it won't be long before he attacks." Zeng Pei said in a deep voice. Presumably, Yuan Jun already knew that the Cao army was planning to cross the river, and they would definitely investigate the north bank of the Yellow River very closely, presumably now the Yuan army was assembling and preparing to attack the Cao army.
Zeng Pei's idea was not bad at all, Han Meng, the general of the Yuan army stationed in Liyang, was gathering troops. Although the soldiers of Yuan Jun were timid towards Cao Jun, this did not mean that Han Meng was also afraid of Cao Jun.
His failure to participate in the Battle of Guandu has always been regarded as a loss, and in his opinion, if he led the troops to fight, he would definitely not suffer as heavy losses as Koji Yi.
Han Meng is also a general of the Yuan Army, his martial arts are strong, although he is no match for Yan Liangwen and Chou, but if he fights with Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan, he can still do it equally. The only flaw is that Han Meng is almost the same as Yuan Shao, and he is a very arrogant person.
Han Meng had already learned that Cao's army was preparing to cross the Yellow River to attack Liyang, so he ordered most of the ferries along the Yellow River to be burned under the strategy of joining the army. After that, according to what the army said, he was ready to attack Cao's army, which had just crossed the river.
Because he burned a large number of ferries, Cao's crossing of the river must have proceeded very slowly. And he took the opportunity to eat the Cao army who crossed the river, and let Cao Jun know that Yuan Jun was not easy to defeat, as long as he Han Meng was there, the myth of Cao Jun's invincibility could be easily defeated.
Eight thousand Yuan troops were assembled on the school field, which was one-half of the footsteps of the entire Liyang. It is not easy to come up with so many soldiers to surprise attack Cao's army, after all, although Liyang is an important town, it is only about 16,000 soldiers.
Cao Jun is not a fool, especially under the leadership of Zhao Fei, Cao Jun must be difficult to defeat, so Han Meng does not expect to defeat too many Cao Jun in one battle. It is not easy to send ordinary soldiers to attack, after all, Liyang still needs someone to garrison.
Han Meng gave an order, and the 8,000 troops of Yuan's army slowly left Liyang City.
At the same time, after Zhao Fei got the news, he couldn't help but smile slightly. Subsequently, he hurriedly ordered someone to summon Zhang Fei and asked him to prepare the whole army to cross the river.
The ferries along the Yellow River were indeed burned by Yuan's army, but in order to attack Jizhou, Cao's army was also fully prepared. Therefore, in the face of the natural danger of the Yellow River, Zhao Fei didn't start preparing in advance.
Zhao Fei released the news that Cao Jun was concentrating his forces to find the ferry, but secretly he asked all the craftsmen to build simple rafts. The rafts were sent downstream, where they were hoarded and used to build improvised wooden bridges to facilitate the passage of the army through the Yellow River.
Letting the wolves cross the Yellow River by ferry was just a trick to lure the enemy, as long as the wolf pack entangled Han Meng's 8,000 Yuan troops, while Zhao Fei ordered Zhang Fei to lead a large army to besiege the city. Of course, if necessary, you can also stage a drama of deception.
As long as the connection between Han Meng and Liyang City is cut off, neither Han Meng nor Liyang City can escape from Zhao Fei's palm.
Time passed minute by minute, and the wolf pack soldiers ushered in the troops of Cao's army crossing the river for the second time. However, to everyone's surprise, there was no Cao Jun in the ferry at all, and this news was quickly informed to Zeng Pei.
After Zeng Pei got the news, he didn't have any surprised expression, it seemed that he had already seen that Zhao Fei's move had a deep meaning. But it is precisely because of this that Zeng Pei knows that the wolves are no longer Yuan Jun. However, Zeng Pei obviously didn't have any fear, as a wolf pack soldier, they were afraid of something.
"Looking at you like this, I think you already knew this was the result?" Seeing Zeng Pei's expression, the painting style said aloud on the side.
"I'm just scrubbing." Glancing at the painting style, Zeng Pei said with a solemn expression.
"Oh?" The painting style became interested, he leaned over to Zeng Pei's side, and then said with a smile: "Then tell me quickly, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd here, adult?" ”
"Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang!" Zeng Pei said eight words flutteringly, and the painting style obviously didn't understand what Zeng Pei said. He stared at Zeng Pei with wide eyes, and then said quite dissatisfied: "What, just send me with eight words?" ”
Seeing the rather scoundrel behavior of the painting style, Zeng Pei felt that he had a headache. He didn't move such a simple thing, Zeng Pei really felt that he had partnered with him for so many years on the dog's body.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, think for myself!" After speaking, Zeng Pei turned around and left, with this scoundrel, Zeng Pei felt that his IQ would be lowered by him.
The painting style just wanted to go forward to reason with Zeng Pei, but Zeng Pei turned his head at this time. "Prepare well, it won't be long before there will be a battle. If you don't die in this battle, I'll tell you the whole story. After speaking, Zeng Pei ignored the noise of the painting style and turned to leave.
Cao's army was moving downstream, and at this time, Jian Yong was riding his horse next to Zhao Fei. Although it was a look of indignation, it was obviously quite helpless.
"Don't you cross the river?" Seeing that Cao's army had no intention of crossing the river, Jian Yong was quite puzzled.
"Aren't you preparing to cross the river?" Zhao Fei said, and then he looked around, and the army walked all the way towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Jian Yong was stunned when he heard this, but after he determined the direction of the army's march, he became even more confused. Cao Jun and he looked for a ferry in Yanjin, and they were ready to cross the river in Yanjin, but why did they go downstream to swim crossing.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Jian Yong knew Zhao Fei's purpose, the reason why he tricked Yuan Jun into going to Yanjin Ferry to defend Cao's army, and Zhao Fei led Cao's army to cross the river from other ferries, deceived the main force of Yuan's army, and successfully crossed the Yellow River.
Jian Yong shook his head, Zhao Fei was really witty. But what Jian Yong didn't know was that in Zhao Fei's heart, he didn't even let go of the main force of Yuan Jun. Ordering the wolf pack to cross the river is to let the wolves defeat the main force of Yuan's army.
Han Meng led the army to quickly approach the Cao army in Yanjin, and through the scouts in front, the Cao army that crossed the Yellow River was only more than 2,000 people. With an army of 8,000 under his command, it was obviously very easy to destroy the 2,000 soldiers of Cao's army.
"Speed up the march, wait for the vanguard of the Cao army to be destroyed, and you will be rewarded!" Han Meng shouted with a spear.
Hearing that there would be a reward, the soldiers of Yuan Jun were naturally quite encouraged. In any case, although he is very worried about Cao Jun, it is an eternal truth that people die for money and birds die for food.
"It's coming! Get ready for battle! The painting style said in a deep voice, although the painting style is a bit two, but for everything on the battlefield, the painting style still has a sensitivity beyond ordinary people.
After finishing the painting, Zeng Pei came to his side with a weapon. "It's been a long time since I've fought side by side, and my bones are rusty!"
"Who isn't!" The painting style looks at the billowing dust and smoke in the distance. The scouts came with news that Yuan's army was no less than 10,000 people, and it was obvious that this was a tough battle for the wolf pack. However, the harder the battle, the more excited the soldiers of the painting style and the wolf pack became.
For Han Meng, the enemy army was only 2,000 people, and he commanded an army of 8,000. The number of troops alone is four to four, so the straightforward army is crushed by no strategy at all.
With a spear in his hand, Han Meng commanded his soldiers to launch an attack on the defensive camp of the wolves. In Han Meng's opinion, he could defeat Cao Jun with a single impact, but the sharpness of the wolves surprised Han Meng.
Cao Jun is really an abnormal elite, and only 2,000 people can do the realm of facing nearly 10,000 troops without changing their faces. Not only did his face not change, but Cao Jun actually watched a fierce counterattack against Yuan Junzhan.
The soldiers of the Cao army did not seem to be afraid of death at all, and their strength was obviously not comparable to that of the Yuan army.
At the same time, Cao's army was slowly crossing the Yellow River. Without Han Meng's knowledge, Zhao Fei led 30,000 Cao soldiers to cross the Yellow River, and then led the army to Liyang.
"Hahaha!" Painting style machete a Yuan army soldier, and then laughed loudly.
"Who says it isn't!" Zeng Pei nodded, this battle was really hearty. Although it was only a moment, Yuan Jun already showed signs that he could not support it.
