Chapter 154: The Battle for Longxi (1)
As it grew dusk and the sky gradually darkened, after sending Lu Lingqi and Huang Wudie home, Lu Bu hurried back to the Bingzhou camp non-stop, because he had received news from Jia Xu that Wu Yi had sent the grain and grass needed by the army to the camp.
Wu Yi served as the Taishou in Jingyang for several years, because of the enlightened governance, quite the respect of the local wealthy families, when they heard that Wu Yi was going to give Lu Bu to collect grain, although everyone was unwilling, but in Wu Yi's face, the heads of the wealthy families have generously donated, more than seven or eight hundred quintals, less than two or three hundred quintals, plus the Jingyang City Treasury Mansion, Wu Yi made up the west, and finally gathered a whole 10,000 stone of grain and grass in two days, and then sent people to transport the grain and grass to Lu Bu's camp.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it has entered July,
In the early morning of this day, the flags under the city of Jingyang were unfurled, and the fence was lined up. The 80,000 army has been assembled, and with a wave of Lu Bu's halberd, he can cross the river to attack Xiliang and capture Longxi.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu sat behind the handsome case, and the military generals stood solemnly on both sides. After repeated discussions among everyone, everyone unanimously decided to immediately send martial arts, go straight to Xinping, and drive Ma Teng, who was stationed there, back to Wuwei.
"Although it is a bit hasty to send troops now, but the arrow is on the line, I have to send it, dare to ask which general dares to volunteer to serve as a pioneer?" After making the decision to send troops, Lu Bu glanced at the generals and asked loudly.
It is best to be a candidate for the vanguard who is brave and strategic, and can fight by force. Strategies can also be old-fashioned. The last time the vanguard was defeated, if Huang Zhong hadn't led the troops to help in time, whether Zhang Liao and Gan Ning could live or not was two different things, but Zhang Liao and Gan Ning were not to blame, no one expected that there would be a fierce general like Pang De in the Xiliang Army, and this expedition to Longxi is related to whether the Bingzhou Army can survive in the troubled times, so it cannot be ignored.
From the above two aspects, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates, both of them are outstanding in martial arts, among which Huang Zhong is the most prominent, I am afraid that except for himself, this big man is no longer his opponent. Moreover, the strategy of the two can be matched by ordinary strategists, and ordinary strategies, if they are not carefully planned, it is difficult to work for the two, which ensures that the vanguard army will not be easily defeated, thus dampening the morale of the main force.
Gan Ning wanted to ask for his life again, but he thought that this campaign was related to the fate of the army, and he was not Pang De's opponent, if he met Pang De again in Wugong County, he would die in battle and not fight, he was afraid of losing the morale of the army.
Huang Zhong looked around and saw that no one snatched the pioneer seal, so he immediately stood up without hesitation: "A certain wish!" ”
Lu Bu's heart was relieved, and he said: "Since Han Sheng volunteered, he will allocate 10,000 elites to you as the vanguard, march quickly day and night, and go straight to Wugong County, and a certain person will personally lead the army to follow!" ”
"A certain will not fail in the mission"
Huang Zhong immediately shouted a promise, and immediately strode forward to take the seal ribbon, and after bowing goodbye to the surrounding robes, Huang Zhong did not wait for the military discussion to disperse, and immediately selected 10,000 elites, and arrived at the Jinghe estuary, preparing to cross the river and march westward, attacking the martial arts two hundred miles away.
Under the transportation of hundreds of ships, it only took about two hours to transport Huang Zhong's 10,000 elites to the north bank of the Jing River. ”
With Huang Zhong's order, the 10,000 elites of the state immediately stepped on a neat pace and swept towards Wugong County, which was a hundred miles away.
After Huang Zhong's vanguard crossed the river, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan led 10,000 cavalry to follow, and it took more than half a day to cross the Jing River. After Zhang Liao and Wei Yan's cavalry crossed the river, it was followed by the 40,000 main army led by Gan Ning and Xu Huang, followed by the 10,000 rear army led by Lu Bu, Jia Xu and others. Because grain and grass are related to the life and death of the Bingzhou army, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in addition to trapping the camp, Lu Bu also allocated 12,000 soldiers and horses to Cheng Lian and Wei Yue to assist Gao Shun.
It took a day and a half for a total of 82,000 people from all walks of life to cross the mighty Jing River under the full force of hundreds of large and small warships, and urgently marched in the direction of Wugong to capture Wugong County in one fell swoop.
In the early morning of the second day, with a whimpering horn piercing the sky, the vanguard troops stationed overnight opened again, and with Huang Zhong's order, 10,000 Bingzhou troops under the leadership of Huang Zhong pulled out the camp and marched forward, straight to the martial arts.
The main guard of martial arts is Ma Teng's general Pang De, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, and Ma Wan, until after the defeat of Jingyang last time, Ma Teng expected that Lu Bu would march again, and martial arts is the east gate of Xinping, and Ma Teng can not ignore it, if Lu Bu wins martial arts, then he can only abandon Xinping and retreat to Qinchuan, in order not to allow martial arts to be lost, Ma Teng can only send Pang De as the main general to garrison.
After receiving the report from the Bingzhou army, Pang De discussed with the generals, and then left Chengyi to defend the city, and led 20,000 people out of the city with Yang Qiu and Ma Play to meet the battle, and the two sides met each other on the hill thirty miles away from Wugong County.
Both sides fired their crossbows in unison and shot at each other's feet.
The banner was opened, Huang Zhong carried the Santing chopping knife, the jujube red horse under his crotch, and shouted loudly: "Bold rebels, dare to go against the imperial court!" Ma Teng is a rebel, and he dares to lead the army to wreak havoc in the land of Sanfu, which is really a big rebellion! If you know the current affairs and quickly dismount and surrender, you can avoid death, otherwise a certain state army will step on Xiliang and kill Deer and other pieces of armor."
Pang De was furious under the banner and scolded back: "Dong Zhuo's old thief, if you deceive the king, you will be punished." Although the alliance collapsed, after my lord was the general of the Han Fubo and Ma Yuan, he became the side of the Qing monarch, except for the thieves, and the Han was a bright and clear man. As a Hanchen, you don't want to serve the country, but instead help to abuse, you dare to use strong words, reverse black and white, and save today to call you and others have no return. ”
After scolding, Pang De immediately swept the horse out of the battle, and took Huang Zhong directly, that day he fought with Huang Zhong for more than 30 rounds, knowing that Huang Zhong was very capable of fighting, he naturally did not dare to let Yang Qiu and Ma play to fight, let him play the two of them, it was nothing more than to send Huang Zhong a double kill, in desperation, Pang De could only personally go out and fight Huang Zhong.
"That day let you get away, but today I let someone take your head and look at the knife!" , Seeing Pang De who was rushing with a knife, Huang Zhong suddenly had high morale, and the Santing Mountain Chopping Knife in his hand pointed at Pang De and scolded angrily, and then slapped the horse and danced the knife, and went straight to Pang De.
ps: Kavin, thoughts flying, cold, cough, grades failed, now I can only strive to send two chapters a day, the number of words may be a little less, please forgive me. Good night
