Chapter 395: Zhang Liao Zhanwei (II)
After last year's war, Kuai Yue knew very well the terrible Jingnan army, and when it tended to be inferior in any aspect, it was still capable of turning the tide, and this ability really made his heart palpitate. This time against the enemy, the biggest bargaining chip in his hand is the navy, which is the Yangtze River moat, once this barrier is lost, he knows very well what it means to Jingbei.
Therefore, for this counteroffensive, Kuai Yue completely has the mentality that it is inevitable. Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Lu Gong, Wang Wei and more than ten other generals were ordered to lead 30,000 elite infantry soldiers to rush to Xiling. In his mind, the Jingnan soldiers who attacked Xiling rushed day after day, their foothold was unstable, and they were physically and mentally exhausted, which was the best moment for counterattack.
In the face of the grim shape shì and Kuai Yue's urgent order, the generals who were pointed did not dare to slack off, and quickly commanded the troops to assemble, with simple siege equipment, and marched quickly towards Xiling......
In the afternoon, Zhang Liao, who was lying asleep under the big tree, was suddenly woken up by a young general.
"Huh?" As soon as he was pushed, Zhang Liao suddenly opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly. When he saw that he was fine, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the young general and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"General, the brother who just went out to investigate reported that the enemy army has sent a large number of soldiers to the direction of Xiling." The young general said.
Hearing this, Zhang Liao was not surprised and overjoyed, and said hurriedly: "How many people are there?" ”
"I don't know, because I'm worried about being discovered by the other party, so I'm just observing from a distance, but judging from the range of dust raised, there are at least 20,000 people!"
Zhang Liao smiled, smiled very happily, blinked his eyes, and said hurriedly: "Quick, inform the brothers who have been investigated to come back, and everyone will be prostrate on the ground, and no noise will be made until the other party's soldiers and horses are completely away from us." ”
The young general suddenly said strangely: "General, aren't we going to ambush them?" ”
"Ambush? Why the ambush? Zhang Liao's eyes flashed, and he didn't explain much, and waved his hand: "Execute the order." You'll find out soon. ”
"No!" That young man is Zhang Liao's henchman. Of course, he didn't say anything more, and immediately turned away.
Soon, the rest soldiers who were hiding in the mountains and forests were awakened and vigilantly crawled in the grass and hidden. Because this place is far from the official road, unless the other party is particularly vigilant, at the cost of slowing down the march, the sentinel will definitely not be able to come this far. And now Liu Biao's army is panicking to counterattack Xiling. Where could you have thought that a group of soldiers and horses had already left after the surprise attack on Xiling.
Time passed little by little, and Zhang Liao's forehead was already nervously flowing with beads of sweat the size of beans, mixed with the sludge and dried blood on his face, which was almost unrecognizable. At this time, his eyes as sharp as an eagle stared at the distant sky without blinking. Because the dust that is scattered is a sign that the enemy army is moving quickly.
I don't know if it was him, and all the Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers were also on high alert, and they fell to the ground stiffly, for fear that they would be unfortunate enough to be discovered by the other party's sentry from afar. Not only would he be in danger, but everyone around him would probably be buried with him for such a stupid act.
In the silence to the point of almost suffocation, the determined Xiaoyaojin Dead finally survived, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the flying dust slowly move away. Until there was no movement again. When the mountains were once again completely silent. Zhang Liaocai slowly got up and waved his hand to signal that everyone could relax their vigilance appropriately. Continue to rest.
At this time, the young general also came to Zhang Liao's side again. "General, what's next?"
"Wait!"
"Wait?"
"Yes, let the brethren prepare their food, and leave only one of their dry rations for their meals, and eat all the rest, and divide any excess among others, and go on their way in half an hour." Zhang Liao's eyes were resolute.
"No!" The young general also faintly understood, and bowed respectfully.
Such a situation is exactly the situation that Zhang Liao guessed last night. Because he believes that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Biao to give up Xiling for no reason, it is too important here, so important that the other party can even lose his mind for it. Therefore, before the time of necessity, a counteroffensive will definitely be organized.
And his original idea was to surround the point to help, but then, he felt that this was not the best. In order to counterattack Xiling as much as possible, the other party will inevitably send a strong enough team, even the main force of soldiers and horses. In this way, although the Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers are elite, the number is too small after all, and the body is already a little tired, so it is difficult to achieve great results. It is better to hide in the mountains and forests and let most of the opponent's soldiers and horses attack Xiling, and he took the opportunity to attack Liu Biao's camp in Yi County. Because this is the most unexpected problem, and it is also a problem that the other party can hardly think of in the current situation.
Half an hour was not too long, and the soldier finished eating and rested for a while. Zhang Liao issued an order again, in order to reduce the consumption of the body, everyone except for the necessary weapons and protective equipment, the rest of the items were thrown away, and the rest of the items were rushed forward. Soon after nightfall, he had arrived more than ten miles outside Yi County.
"General Zhang, when will you attack?" As soon as he stopped to eat, the young general walked quickly to Zhang Liao's side again.
"I don't know, but not now, at least after midnight."
Saying that, Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and didn't explain much. "Alright, go and tell the soldiers to eat the last dry rations. Always ready to fight. ”
"No!"
As the order was issued, Zhang Liao also closed his mouth and didn't say even a word. Quietly nibbling on the dry cake, his eyes fixed on the direction of Liu Biao's camp.
An hour passed, and two hours passed.
When the moon hung in the sky, the distant sky suddenly shone with a faint red light, although it was too far away and there were mountains to block it, so I couldn't see what it was. But just by virtue of experience, Zhang Liao also knew that it was the brilliance of countless torches gathered together. couldn't help but chatter to himself: "What are you doing with such a dazzling fire?" It is impossible for Liu Biao to light so many torches to illuminate, could it be that the lord is attacking? ”
The guess in his heart suddenly made Zhang Liao very excited, if he guessed correctly, then the harvest of this trip would definitely far exceed expectations.
"Anyway, I've come here anyway, bet!" After silently muttering such a sentence in his heart, Zhang Liao did not hesitate any longer, and decisively ordered the soldiers to set off.
The sound of hurried footsteps began to spread through the mountains, and all the soldiers understood that a vital battle was ahead.
As the distance got closer and closer, the sound of war drums and the shouts of soldiers fighting gradually reached Zhang Liao's ears, making him ecstatic in his heart. He understood that he had won the bet, and from the beginning of rushing to Lujiang, he had completed a thousand-mile run that was enough to shake the world. Now, it's just a matter of putting a perfect end to the results......
Liu Biao stood quietly on the bank of the river, facing the river wind with the sound of hunting, watching the fierce battle on the river from afar.
"At this time, Wei Yan and the other generals should also be attacking the city!"
Hearing this, the two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, glanced at each other and didn't know how to answer.
"Zirou, Xenodimension! Both of you have talents that have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and there is no one else at this time, so I will tell you the truth! If Jingbei is really defeated this time, you should follow Wang Xu, he is a person worth following. ”
"Lord!" The two of them trembled in their hearts and involuntarily called out.
Liu Biao waved his hand and sighed: "Hey! Maybe I'm really old. ”
"Why did the lord say this?" Kuai Yue looked a little excited, and said urgently: "The lord is fifty years old now, how can he be called old?" Jiang Shang is over seventy years old before he assists Zhou to destroy business, and fifty is still in the prime of life! ”
Liu Biao smiled bitterly, neither refuted nor responded, and fell into silence again.
At this moment, a shocking shout suddenly sounded in the north of the camp. "Brothers, kill!"
"Kill ......"
In an instant, the rear of the camp suddenly exploded, and countless Jingbei soldiers roared in panic: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”
"The camp is hijacked! The Jingnan army has robbed the camp......"
When Liu Biao and the three people on the bank of the river heard this call, they reacted from their shock, and their faces changed.
"What's going on? Why is there another enemy raid? How did they get here? Liu Biao said with a little panic.
Kuai Yue was also shocked, and in a hurry, he couldn't think of a reason. Immediately shouted: "No matter how you came here, it is still important to repel the enemy army now." ”
As he spoke, he was already running towards the rear camp quickly, and said urgently: "Brother, you escort the lord to the left camp, and evacuate immediately once the shape changes, and I will organize the generals to resist the enemy." ”
Kuai Liang is not an indecisive person, he opened his mouth at Kuai Yue's back, but he still didn't say anything, and quickly turned his head. "Lord, let's go!"
"Hmm!" Liu Biao knew that it would be useless to go there, so he also nodded.
"General Huang, General Huang! How about the shape shì? As soon as he ran to the vicinity of the big tent of the Chinese army, Kuai Yue ran into Huang Zu, who was shouting at the soldiers to form a formation.
"Strategist, the shape is not good!" Huang Zu turned around and saw that it was Kuai Yue, and he didn't hide it, and said urgently: "It's too sudden, almost no reaction was rushed into the camp by the other party, and now the soldiers have been dispersed, and all the generals are trying their best to organize defense." ”
"How many centaurs?" Kuai Yue frowned.
"More than a thousand!"
"More than a thousand?" Kuai Yue is unbelievably authentic.
"Hmm!" Huang Zu nodded without any hesitation. Then his voice changed, and he continued: "It's just that the combat power of this thousand people is extremely terrifying, after the surprise attack rushed into the camp, they rushed left and right, as if they entered a no-man's land, and the leader was Zhang Liao." ”
"It's him!"
Huang Zu was anxious about the war at the moment, and he was not in the mood to talk to Kuai Yue, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "The military advisor should find a safe position to watch the battle, it's too chaotic now, I will organize the soldiers to go up for reinforcements." ”
"Good!" Already in a scuffle, Kuai Yue knew that he was useless, and turned around and left without hesitation.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao roared loudly, and in order to be more eye-catching, he even grabbed a war horse and rushed madly in front of the formation.
The Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers behind him were disciplined like wild geese, maintaining a formation, and they would fight wherever Zhang Liao hit. A group of soldiers was scattered, and a group of soldiers began to flee. Every time the neat and sharp butcher knife is swung, it will take away fresh life...... (To be continued.) )
