Chapter 466: The King Storms the Grain
Liu Bei came to Yecheng and found that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had low expressions, and the presence of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun made them seem less confident in their own force.
"Yun Chang is incompetent and can't expel the enemy army, please punish the eldest brother!"
Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Liu Bei for guilt.
In this attack, Guan Yu was the main general, but he could not win.
Unable to cross the two high mountains of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, how can he talk about taking Chu Zimou's head among the million army?
Not to mention, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun are the two generals of the white-robed army, not Chutian's guards. And Chutian's guard, Dian Wei, has a force that is not inferior to Guan Zhang.
After Liu Bei heard about the battle between Guan Zhang and Xue Zhao, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that with the courage of the second and third brothers, I couldn't defeat the generals under Chu Zimou's command." ”
A small colonel came in and reported: "Chu Zimou's army has arrived!" ”
Everyone, including Liu Bei, Chen Xi, Wang Meng, Hu Luguang, Lanling Wang and others, were all moved.
They are finally going to confront Chu Zimou, who is invincible south of the Yellow River!
Liu Bei led everyone to climb the heights and look, as far as the eye could see, it was Le Yi's offensive army.
Yan Jiashi held a shield and a halberd, and the formation was uniform, with a solemn atmosphere.
In the rear, countless foot soldiers, crossbowmen, and cavalry rolled in, and the dust was raised into the air because of the march, and it was impossible to tell how many soldiers and horses the other side had.
As the coach, Liu Bei found that his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
The current Chutian gave Liu Bei the feeling that it was even more dangerous than Dong Zhuo, who was crusaded against by the princes of the Twenty-fourth Road.
"Strategist, the next big battle will be in your command."
Liu Bei delegated the command of all soldiers and horses to Wang Meng, a military advisor.
Like the ancestor Liu Bang, commanding 100,000 soldiers and horses is already Liu Bei's limit. In other words, Liu Bei is more suitable for skirmishes.
Even Boss Cao, who was good at fighting in large armies, was defeated by Chu Tian, and Liu Bei didn't think that he could defeat Chu Zimou by personally commanding him.
Instead of getting in the way, it is better to hand over the military power to Wang Meng and give it a go.
Wang Meng was the prime minister of the former Qin, and his relationship with the emperor Fu Jian was similar to that of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, who governed internal affairs, commanded the soldiers and horses of the former Qin, and swept the north with the national strength of a corner of Guanzhong. If it weren't for Wang Meng's illness and death, Fu Jian might not have lost the Battle of Weishui, and it would have been possible to unify the whole country.
Wang Meng's "Golden Knife Scheme" is a classic divisive scheme.
It can be said that in addition to force, Wang Meng is a comprehensive talent of commander, resourcefulness, and internal affairs, and all three are top-notch.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei had handed over the crucial battle to Wang Meng, who had only joined their camp for a few months, and their faces were unhappy.
Guan Yu thought that he would be the main general of this battle, but he didn't expect to obey Wang Meng's drive, and he was even more displeased.
"The two generals of Guan and Zhang can take advantage of the fact that the other party's foothold is not stable, burn their military rations, and disturb their military morale."
"If the other party is prepared, the two generals Hu Luguang and Gao Su will go to meet and deal a heavy blow to their pursuers."
After Wang Meng took over Liu Bei's army, he immediately began to deploy.
Hu Luguang and high-speed fists: "Take the order!" ”
On the contrary, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from Liu Bei's own camp did not move, and they didn't seem to be very satisfied with being commanded by Wang Meng.
"Second brother, third brother, the military advisor has a strategy, you must follow the orders of the military advisor."
Liu Bei took the initiative to support Wang Meng.
No matter how powerful Wang Meng is, after all, he is not qualified enough to suppress the righteous brothers who have followed Liu Bei for several years and are like siblings, only Liu Bei opened his mouth, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were convinced.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said reluctantly: "Take the order!" ”
The four generals went down to prepare.
Liu Bei said to Wang Meng: "My two righteous brothers are usually rude, but they are unequivocal when they charge into battle, and please don't be surprised." ”
Liu Bei knew that his power was weak and he could not compete with the various player princes who had grown through the national war, and if he wanted to retain a great talent like Wang Meng, he could only try to use his personal personality charm to gain Wang Meng's trust.
If it is an ordinary player prince who has fallen to the point of Liu Bei, their military generals will choose to leave, such as Zhao Gongzi's subordinate general Dolgon, Chen Ji, a Wenchen of Tang, and Chen Qun's father and son.
At present, there are still a large number of civil and military generals who are willing to follow Liu Bei, from Jizhou to Youzhou, as well as the civil and military generals of other dynasties recruited by Liu Bei.
Wang Meng didn't care too much: "The two generals are unparalleled in force, and maybe only two or three princes in the world have strong generals who can compete with them." ”
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Hu Luguang and King Lanling, who were gathering the cavalry, this was Wang Meng's second mobilization of cavalry: "I hope that the second brother and the third brother can achieve the first merit this time." ”
Chutian's army arrived, and the main grain and grass were guarded by the invincible legion, which currently has more than 10,000 cavalry, as well as 30,000 Yanzhou and Jizhou township warriors to assist in transporting grain.
The people in the front are fighting, and the people in the rear are farming, and wherever they fight, they will requisition the local people to transport grain, so as to save the loss of grain transportation to the greatest extent.
The commander of the Invincible Legion is still Yang Ye, but in fact, Mu Guiying and Yang Yanzhao both have a special cavalry.
Zhang Liao took away part of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, Mu Guiying and Yang Yanzhao did not have time to recruit their own special troops, and the main force was only more than 2,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and 3,000 low-level heavy cavalry (fourth order).
The war eagle soared in the air, and Mulan followed Chu Tian again, and the war eagle swept down and landed on her shoulder.
Joan of Arc, who was holding the holy flag, looked at Mulan's side, intentionally or unintentionally. Since Mulan came back, she has lost her qualification to stay by Chu Tian's side, and she always has an inexplicable sense of loss.
Even though she was now the Legion Leader of the First Minion Legion, it felt like something was missing.
"Liu Bei's army divided a cavalry and quickly moved south."
Mulan's war eagle learned of Liu Beijun's movements and immediately reported it to General Chu Tian.
"Liu Bei wants to take advantage of our unstable foothold to give us a heavy blow to shake the morale of the army."
Chu Tian heard that Liu Bei had made a big move, and quickly judged Liu Bei's intentions.
It's just that what is the target that Liu Bei wants to attack?
After Fang Xuanling learned about it, he said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." The Invincible Legion is guarding the grain and grass and is closing its camp. Liu Beijun mostly came for food and grass. Once the grain and grass are burned, our army will be greatly shaken. ”
"The military advisor has a reason for this."
Chu Tian brought Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to the end, and the fetters of "Fang Xuanling Du Broken" played an effect, and now Fang Xuanling, as the mastermind, has an intelligence of 98, and he can see through Wang Meng's intentions.
Fire attack is an eternal pain in the hearts of many commanders.
Yuan Shaotun's Wuchao was burned, and Wuchao wine fairy Chun Yuqiong was killed, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since.
Boss Cao experienced the feeling of Yuan Shao in the Battle of Chibi and ruined the opportunity to unify China.
Liu Bei was burned by Zhou Yu's heir Lu Xun in the Battle of Yiling.
……
Chutian immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to protect the grain and grass.
In addition to the cavalry who went to protect the grain, the main cavalry had to stay to prevent the cavalry of Liu Bei's army from pouring out.
"Divine doctor Hua Tuo is healing Zhao Yun's injuries, who can follow Xue Rengui to save food and grass?"
"The last will go!"
Tai Shici took the initiative to ask for battle.
Not to be outdone: "Hua Xiong is willing to behead the enemy and dedicate it to the lord!" ”
The four tigers of the Northern Army also asked for battle, among which Xing Daorong said: "The last general's big axe will behead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under the horse!" ”
All of Chu Tian's generals actively participated in the battle.
A soldier bears a nest of bears.
Why was the Qin army able to fight? First, there are military merit rewards, and second, they often win battles and their morale is high, while the soldiers of the six countries are weak and their morale is low.
The Chutian forces have won more battles, and the generals have become more and more confident, even the four tigers of the Northern Army are clamoring to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will become the stepping stones for their upward climb.
"My lord, I'm ...... I want to play. ”
To Chu Tian's surprise, Joan of Arc, who was a little nervous, took the initiative to ask for battle.
Now even the summer is cold, and I have no intention of looking at Joan of Arc more.
Joan of Arc has never been allegiant, and is still in the state of a wandering general, according to her status, she should not have been so active in the main battle, and there is no need. At this time, I suddenly came out to brush my presence, which is meaningful.
"You stay and command the First Servant Legion, there is no need for us to mess up because Liu Bei sent a cavalry."
Joan of Arc commanded a servant army of more than 100,000 men, consuming Liu Bei's army head-on.
This is a trump card for Chu Tian to deal with Liu Bei.
Wang Meng sent a cavalry to attack the grain and grass that Chutian had hoarded on the outskirts of Yecheng, which would not make Chutian chaotic.
"Yes......"
Joan of Arc's sense of loss is even more pronounced.
In her mind, she seemed to be back to her previous dispensable state.
"Tai Shici, Hua Xiong, the Four Tigers of the Northern Army, and Artoria led the Yue Cavalry Battalion, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Changshui Battalion, and the Knights of the Round Table to the rescue."
"Order Xue Rengui of the white-robed army to divide his troops and go to support the invincible army together."
"Make a detour of the Divine Speed Legion to see if we can eat this cavalry."
"Order Wei Qing and Cao Cao's Yulin and Tiger and Leopard Legions to protect the left and right wings, and the armies don't need to panic."
Chu Tian quickly gave the order.
Soon the Guards Legion and the White-robed Legion each separated a group of cavalry and moved closer to the Invincible Legion.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were ordered by Wang Meng to launch an attack while the invincible army had not yet formed a village!
Tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry attacked the invincible legion, and the three Yang families will resist with all their might!
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here!"
Zhang Fei suffered a loss under Xue Rengui, and at this time he broke into the invincible army, and killed more than ten wolf riders in a row, directly picking up the cavalry on horseback!
Now Zhang Fei is full of physical strength, and he has regained his confidence!
Yang Yanzhao came to meet Zhang Fei with a gun, and the steel spear was hit by a snake spear, and he almost got out!
Zhang Fei's brute strength is quite terrifying!
"Where is the white-robed young man that day?! Let him come out and compete with Grandpa Zhang, you are not my opponent! ”
Zhang Fei stabbed more than a dozen spears in a row, and Yang Yanzhao quickly fell behind.
What Wang Meng said is not bad, in the world, there are not no generals who can block Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but there are very few.
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not encounter the white-robed army, then the thousand-mile rush across the Taihang Mountain would have an unexpected effect.
Yang Yanzhao struggled to support Zhang Fei's stormy offensive.
Zhang Fei hadn't been furious yet, and it was already difficult for him to support it.
A spear stabbed in, shared the pressure for Yang Yanzhao, and blocked Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear.
Yang Ye saw that his son Yang Yanzhao was suppressed by the fierce man Zhang Fei, and he was immediately furious.
Lao Tzu can beat his son, but outsiders can't!
Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao, two fathers and sons, worked together to fight, and the two of them used the Yang family's marksmanship at the same time, cooperating with each other to flank Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei relied on the length of the Zhangba snake spear to defeat one enemy and two enemies, and did not fall behind.
"I didn't expect you to be weak......"
Zhang Fei saw that Yang Wushu and Yang Liulang were desperate, and they were in equilibrium for a while, and they couldn't win the two.
The effect of Yang Jiajiang made Yang Ye and Yang Liulang's force reach 97 and 95 respectively, and the two joined forces to draw Zhang Fei!
Guan Yu dragged the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and even the heavy cavalry along the way all died under his sword, and ordinary armor couldn't block the sharp Qinglong Glaive Knife at all.
A female military general intercepts Guan Yu.
Guan Yu frowned: "Get out of the way quickly, Guan Mou's Qinglong Yanyue Knife will not kill the female stream." ”
"The thief will die!"
Mu Guiying snorted lightly, and the pear blossom spear stabbed at Guan Yu.
This shot castrated extremely quickly, and even Guan Yu was slightly moved.
Mu Guiying's original force was 96 points, but because of the trait "Yang Family General", the force reached 97, and if he was too light on the enemy, he would also be killed by Mu Guiying!
Guan Yu slashed the knife with both hands and split the stabbing pear flower gun!
The blade of the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife was filled with cold light, leaving a scar on the blade of the Pear Flower Spear!
The quality of Mu Guiying's weapon was not as good as the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and the pain in her hands holding the spear made Guan Yu reach her peak state.
"What a knife."
Mu Guiying saw that Guan Yu was fierce and focused on defense.
She knew that as long as Guan Yu was dragged and the reinforcements arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would have to retreat.
"Since you are an enemy, don't blame Guan for the sharpness of his big knife!"
Guan Yu no longer cared about whether Mu Guiying was a female or not, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife opened and closed in his hand, and his momentum climbed to suppress Mu Guiying!
Mu Guiying drew the ground as a prison, and used a pear flower gun to defend Guan Yu's offensive.
"The military advisor has an order, set fire quickly!"
The generals Hu Luguang and King Lanling, sent by Wang Meng to support Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, armed with torches, took advantage of the upwind direction to set fire to the camp of the invincible legion!
There was a large amount of military rations in the camp, and before it was too late to deploy horses, dig trenches and traps, Hu Luguang led the cavalry to break through the camp from the other side!
"Damn...... Hold the camp and stop the fire! ”
Mu Guiying still prepared a hand to clean up the debris around the camp and between the grain trucks, so that the fire would not burn from all sides to the grain trucks in the middle.
The cavalry of the invincible legion went forward one after another, blocking Hu Luguang and the king of Lanling from breaking the formation.
And on the periphery of the camp of the Invincible Legion, the reinforcements sent by Chutian have arrived!
"It's you again, this time, you may not be able to escape!"
Xue Rengui saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei raging in the camp of the Invincible Legion, they couldn't beat the white-robed Legion, but they came to bully the Invincible Legion, and they were angry.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were fighting with the Yang family generals, Guan Yu was about to defeat Mu Guiying, Zhang Fei suddenly caught a glimpse of a white-clothed young general coming, and immediately shouted at Guan Yu: "Second brother, that person is here again, let's retreat!" ”
Zhang Fei wanted to fight Xue Rengui again, but after thinking about it, in addition to Xue Rengui, there were three Yang generals here!
