Chapter 246: Soldiers Descend on the City
The embankment was finally dug up, and Wang Chong looked up at the darkening sky, and knew that the army would not be able to cross the river today, so he had to order to camp in place and build a pontoon bridge to cross the river tomorrow.
Then, Wang Chong found Le Jin again, patted him on the shoulder, and ordered: "Wen Qian, I need you to lead your five thousand soldiers to camp on the other side of the river overnight, if my expectations are correct, when we cross the river tomorrow, Liu Bei will inevitably send troops to harass him, in order to make my army cross the Rushui smoothly, I will trouble you to make a hard trip!" ”
Le Jin is injured now, if he doesn't have no choice, Wang Chong will not give this task to Le Jin, after all, most of the soldiers and horses under Zhang Xiu's command are his soldiers when he was in Wancheng, and the water quality is extremely poor, and it is impossible to swim through the Rushui that is already more than half a person deep and the water is turbulent.
Le Jin resolutely assured: "Rest assured, the last general will live up to his mission!" ”
After Le Jin left, Wang Chong looked at Jia Xu again: "Wenhe, do you think that Xu Shu will attack the camp tonight?" ”
Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "With Xu Shu's wisdom, we will not come to seek death, but we must not take it lightly, especially focus on the grain and grass, in case the grain and grass are burned, we can only return to Huainan!" ”
Wang Chong nodded and said, "In this way, the matter of patrolling the night, I will ask Wenhe to arrange it!" ”
――――――――――――――――――――――
In a dense forest ten miles south of the Jinfan camp, the two thousand soldiers and horses led by Xu Shu and Guan Yu have been lurking here for two whole hours.
"Strategist, now the plan of water attack has been seen through by Jinfan. What do we do next? ”
Guan Yu's face was a little gloomy, he originally thought that he could have a good battle with Jinfan today, but it turned out to be a whole day. didn't do anything, just hid in the forest to feed the mosquitoes, which made his mood extremely anxious, if it weren't for Xu Shu having established a certain prestige in the army, and Liu Bei also told him to obey Xu Shu's arrangement, the arrogant Guan Yu was afraid that he would have been unable to help but explode.
Xu Shu shook his head and said helplessly: "Go downstream first to find a place to cross the river." Let's wait until we get back to Anseong! ”
Guan Yu frowned when he heard this, and suggested, "Why don't you go to the camp tonight?" As long as a fire burns Jinfan's grain and grass, it will definitely force them to retreat and return to Huainan! ”
Xu Shu was anxious when he heard this. Hurriedly persuaded: "The second general can't, I think that Wang Chong can see through our strategies one after another, and he will definitely be able to deduce the existence of us, if we go to attack the camp tonight." It's tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap! ”
Guan Yu snorted coldly in displeasure and said, "If the military advisor is afraid of death." Why don't you lead a team of people to wait here, and Yu Ziqin will lead the rest of the people to go! ”
Xu Shu's face changed, and he said toughly: "The second general wants to disobey the orders of the lord?" You must know that in this army, Shu is the commander! ”
"You ......" Guan Yu's red face instantly darkened, but he still respected Liu Bei, the eldest brother, very respectfully, so when he saw Xu Shu lifting Liu Bei out, he could only grit his teeth and choose to swallow his anger. That's it, if you say quit the army, you will quit the army! ”
Guan Yu's compromise made Xu Shu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. You must know that there are not many soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command, and if he leaves these two thousand troops here tonight, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to Liu Beijun.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Early the next morning, Wang Chong took materials on the spot, and with the help of Lejin on the other side, he quickly built more than a dozen large pontoon bridges, and all kinds of siege equipment and truckloads of grain and grass materials were continuously sent across the river, Liu Bei really wanted to stop Jinfan's army from crossing the river as Wang Chong expected, but when he saw the large camp that had risen from the ground last night, he also decisively gave up this idea, and quickly returned to the city, ready to meet Jinfan's siege.
At that time, the loud sound of the horn resounded in the vast plain, Liu Bei stood at the head of the city, looking at the neatly arranged Jinfan army outside the city, exuding a strong killing atmosphere, his expression was solemn to the extreme.
"Is that Wang Chong?"
In the front of the Jinfan Army, under the word "Wang" as high as several zhang on the side, a young general was wearing white tiger bright silver armor, holding a tiger's head black gold gun, and his legs crossed the snow-white Dawan Liangju, his handsome face was calm and confident, as if the thousands of troops on the city wall were as vulnerable as mustard in his eyes.
Guan Yu's pair of Danfeng eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and his body exuded a strong battle intent.
"What Zilong said yesterday is really true, this Jinfan army is indeed elite, this city, I'm afraid it really can't be defended." Liu Bei glanced at the panicked soldiers around him who had been suppressed by Jinfan's momentum, and let out a long sigh.
"Yuan Zhi, do you have a clever plan to break the enemy?"
Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Head-to-head, we must not be opponents, for today's plan, we can only rely on the strong martial arts of a few generals to suppress Jinfan's morale first!" ”
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Big brother, why don't you let the younger brother go to meet General Jinfan?" ”
"It's just a Jinfan thief, why do you need the second general to go out in person? One person is enough! At this moment, Gong Du, the Yellow Turban general behind Liu Bei, stepped forward and said proudly, "Lord, the last general is invited to fight!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "In this way, I will first wish Gong Jiang's army a victory!" ”
Liu Bei didn't have much of a good impression of Liu Pi and Gong Du, these two had too high prestige in the newly surrendered Yellow Turban Army, which had always made him very jealous, so seeing Gong Du asking for war at this moment, Liu Bei agreed without even thinking about it, thinking that Jinfan was born as a thief, aren't you yourself? Underestimate Jinfan, I'm afraid you don't even know how to die.
Although Liu Bei doesn't know much about the martial arts of the rest of Jinfan's generals, he has always remembered Tai Shi Ci vividly, you must know that in Beihai, Tai Shi Ci relied on one person and one gun to kill in and out of the Yellow Turban Army, such as entering a no-man's land, the martial arts are strong, I am afraid that it is not much better than his two brothers, if Gong Du meets him, it is estimated that he will not even be able to hold ten moves.
A moment later, the drawbridge above Ancheng was slowly lowered, and then the city gate was opened, and I saw a longitudinal horse shooting out, arrogantly pointing at the Jinfan array, shouting: "Gong is here, who dares to come to die?" ”
Tai Shici drove his horse to Wang Chong's side, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the last general will fight!" ”
"Father, such a thief, wouldn't killing him stain his father's hand? Why don't you leave it to the children! At this time, Tai Shi Xiang, the son of Tai Shi Ci, who had just been incorporated into Wang Chong's personal guard, was eager to try.
"Nonsense!" Tai Shi Ci glared at Tai Shi Xiang fiercely, and scolded, "With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you also want to go out of battle?" It's not too late to go back and practice for a few more years! ”
Tai Shixiang's scolded neck shrank, and he had to cast a look at Wang Chong for help.
Wang Chong smiled when he saw this, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, the tiger father has no dogs, Yuan Fu's martial arts are already good, but he lacks experience, so this head formation, let him fight, if you can't rest assured, you can sweep the formation on the side!" ”
Seeing Wang Chong speak, Tai Shi Ci didn't want to object anymore, but said to Tai Shi Xiang: "Focus and calm in wartime, don't be impatient, don't fall into my Jinfan's prestige!" ”
Tai Shixiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly slapped his horse out of the formation: "Father rest assured, the child can be saved!" (To be continued.) )
