Chapter 670: The Battle of Mengjin
Guan Hai didn't expect the final outcome to be like this, if he could foresee such an ending, he might not choose to fight!
It was a resounding victory! The player's strong will to fight and the tenacity of his heart have made Guan Hai truly re-understand what a player is.
The battle was extremely bloody and cruel, and although it was Guan Hai who won in the end, only less than 3,000 people could stand up under his command, and this battle not only completely annihilated the cavalry wing of the three northwestern counties of Qingzhou, but also disabled the elite cavalry of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army.
Or soon, Guan Hai will be able to re-establish an elite cavalry unit with these 5,000 veterans who have survived the battlefield, but now, Guan Hai has completely lost the ability to continue fighting.
Therefore, after the end of the battle, Guan Hai immediately ordered the infantry who were still in the camp in Guangxian to evacuate and return to Linqu, and he also cleaned up the battlefield with the remnants of the army.
This battle is also the beginning of the player's troops officially on the big stage of the game, Guan Hai may not be a great general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but he is undoubtedly the highest general in the Yellow Turban Army, of course, it is only force, not combat power.
But even so, the player can completely cripple Guan Hai's troops in the case of similar troops, which is already a battle that is still glorious despite defeat, and the result of this battle not only greatly boosts the player's enthusiasm for fighting, but also makes the aboriginal strength more afraid of the player's strength...... When the players' eyes were attracted by the bloody battle of Xuliang in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao also quietly opened the prelude to the battle for Mengjin.
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not deal with each other, they even secretly dismantled Yuan Shu's platform, hoping to bring down Yuan Shu and enter the Yuan family. But in the war, the two are indeed still in the spirit of justice. Yan Liang did not storm Huai County, but let Wang Kuang keep an eye on Huai County, and he himself led his troops to turn south and attack Meng Jin, wanting to take advantage of the empty time of Meng Jin's troops to seize Meng Jin first, and completely isolate Dong Zhuo's army in Hanoi and annihilate it.
Yuan Shao was very supportive of Yan Liang's plan, and also took advantage of the night to bypass Aocang and go straight to Mengjin along the south bank of the Yellow River, wanting to take Mengjindu in one fell swoop with a joint attack from the north and south.
Meng Jindu itself is not suitable for defense. On the south side of Mengjin is a large open field, which is conducive to the attacker's deployment of troops, but if the defender has strong mobile troops, it is for the attacker. It's best not to rush to grab the Mengjin ferry first. Instead, you have to take control of the entire battlefield first.
Defending Meng Jindu was Li Su, who was redeemed by Dong Zhuo from Fang Zhiwen, speaking of which, Dong Zhuo was actually benevolent to Li Su. Li Su is not a heartless bastard, at least he still knows what he should do, even if it is not to restore the glory of his ancestors, just to return the favor can't always pit his own master!
Moreover, this time in order to stabilize Meng Jin. Dong Zhuo also sent Li Ru over, and divided half of the Xiliang cavalry that could fight in Luoyang City to Li Ru, totaling more than 10,000.
Li Ru is even more simply. Directly led his own infantry to garrison Mengjindu, let Li Su with 15,000 cavalry in the periphery to respond, the cavalry of Yuan Shao's troops were in the hands of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Yuan Shao himself went south and did not plan to go to war, but now the situation is deadlocked, Yuan Shao has to put on the battle.
Therefore, against Li Su's cavalry, Yuan Shao's troops were immediately out of line, of course, the defense could still be done, Yuan Shao simply camped in the mountains more than forty miles east of Mengjindu, and confronted Li Su with deep ditches and thick bases, Yuan Shao's plan was that he could attract a large part of Mengjindu's troops is victory, and he could create opportunities for Yan Liang's Nandu.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's troop arrangement, Meng Jindu is indeed a weakness now, in fact, Dong Zhuo's troops are stretched, otherwise he will not easily lose Hangu Pass, in order to deal with the situation that the Kwantung clan is surrounded on all sides, Dong Zhuo scattered the main battle troops, from a tactical point of view, Dong Zhuo's tactics of defending on all sides are absolutely wrong.
But from a strategic point of view, the result of Dong Zhuo's ignition everywhere is to empty the people in the east of Sili, either scared away, or captured by Dong Zhuo's troops and the player's plundering team, even if the Yuan brothers can lead the eighteenth princes to recapture Luoyang, they will also face the embarrassing situation of thousands of miles of people around Sili, from a strategic point of view, Dong Zhuo is a big victory.
It's far away, let's get down to business.
Yuan Shao used his infantry to firmly absorb Li Su's cavalry troops, and there were 10,000 infantry of Li Ru in Mengjindu, if Yan Liang could raise ships to move south, Li Su's troops might not be able to stop Yan Liang's onslaught.
Yan Liang also thought so, so Yan Liang collected boats everywhere on the north bank, but the surrounding boats had already been received by Li Ru to the south bank of the Yellow River, Yan Liang could only find a few small boats in the north, just when Yan Liang had nothing to do, the savior arrived.
There is a group of players, who not only bring a lot of boats, but also the tools and props used to erect the pontoon bridge, which is simply a professional boat bridge unit. Yan Liang doesn't care what kind of purpose these players have, and no matter where the boats in their hands come from, as long as they can help cross the river, as for those one-and-a-half positions that they are asking for, there is no problem at all in Yan Liang's opinion, not to mention that the Central Plains region may not be his lord's territory in the future, and Yan Liang is also very willing to be generous to others.
Sure enough, after receiving the news, Yuan Shao almost immediately agreed to the request of these players, exchanging the position of a county order for the player's help, of course, this county order is in the border of the river.
With sufficient preparation and props, the result was really different, it only took one night, this group of players built two pontoon bridges on the Yellow River that can be paralleled by four horses, this ability is absolutely very strong, Yan Liang is a little blushing, in fact, Yan Liang also knows, this is a matter of money and preparation, the boat bridge craftsman is actually not difficult to find, it is rare to prepare enough ships and props, from this point of view, the logistics of Yuan Shao's troops, there are still many deficiencies.
Li Ru learned the news that Yan Liang had built a pontoon bridge in the upper and lower reaches of Mengjindu early in the morning, and he didn't seem to be anxious as he imagined, but just ordered the two lieutenants to lead 2,000 people along the river bank to seize the bridgehead on the south bank of the pontoon bridge, and he continued to sit in Mengjindu, looking like he was in control.
Yan Liang, on the contrary, saw that the pontoon bridge was built, and ordered the army to immediately assemble and cross the river.
Just as Yan Liang's large army was quickly passing through the two pontoon bridges, several huge warships suddenly appeared on the surface of the Yellow River, judging from the flags on the warships, it was Han Fu's troops, Yan Liang suddenly seemed to be poured from the head by the cold Yellow River water, and his whole body was cold!
No one knows when Han Fu's big boat slipped to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, let alone why they were able to accurately grasp the timing of Yan Liang's crossing of the river, even if it appeared, this is a typical half-crossing attack, Han Fu's purpose is not only to sabotage Yan Liang's plan to cross the river, but also to let some of Yan Liang's troops who have crossed the river completely finish.
Yan Liang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, knowing that he was completely tricked, he glared at the representatives of the players, and those players looked innocent, even if these players really had a problem, now Yan Liang has no evidence to prove that these players colluded with Han Fu and Dong Zhuo in advance to deceive themselves, even if it is true, it is useless to kill these players now, but it has left a bad reputation, who will dare to help him in the future.
Yan Liang is really dumb this time, and he can't tell if he suffers!
A breath of sulking was pinned to his chest, almost suffocating Yan Liang directly, Yan Liang gave the order to retreat in a muffled voice, and he hurried back to the barracks, as for returning to the camp and spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, no one knew.
Han Fu's big boat went down the river, the full sails ate enough wind, like a fallen mountain, and the crash angle reinforced with steel slammed towards the pontoon, Yuan Shaojun on the pontoon bridge was all stunned by this sudden situation, some panicked soldiers were desperate and turned around and jumped into the river, but in this turbulent river, not to mention these soldiers who are not good at water, even if your swimming skills are amazing, there is no luck in this cold torrent.
"Boom 1
"Ahh ~Help1
The huge battleship will break the small pontoon bridge in two, the debris on the impact point is scattered, and even the figure of people and horses, the seemingly solid pontoon bridge seems to be made of paper, and it is immediately broken into two sections, the turbulent river will have lost the pontoon bridge to rush downstream, the speed is faster than the galloping horse, the soldiers and horses standing on the pontoon bridge have fallen into the water, and shouted for help in horror, but the armor on the body is heavy, like a solid iron ball, and the water sinks down, and it is impossible to float on the surface of the water and wait for rescue.
There were only a few tenacious war horses, dragging the heavy master in the rapids, floating and sinking, swimming desperately towards the shore, and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun who were watching on the shore couldn't bear to see it, and they twisted their faces one after another.
'Boom/
The broken pontoon bridge was divided into two sections, and was carried by the torrent to both banks, and then slammed into the cliff bank on the shore, making a loud noise and then shattering piece by piece, and then swept away by the river, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There seemed to be a cheer from the giant ship, and Yuan Shaojun on the shore was so angry that everyone spontaneously opened their bows and raised their crossbows to shoot at these fast-passing big ships, although it was in vain, but it was also a sullen breath in the chest.
Immediately afterwards, the second pontoon bridge was also broken, because there was a little buffer time, there were far fewer soldiers on this pontoon bridge who were knocked into the river, and the two pontoon bridges were broken, and Han Fu's big boat flew away in a cheer and ridicule, without any intention of stopping.
The soldiers of Yuan Shaojun standing on both sides of the Yellow River were sad and helpless, and soon after, Dong Zhuojun arrived and annihilated all the desperate Yuan Shao's river-crossing troops on the tidal flats on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Yan Liang's first river crossing ended in a fiasco.
The news was transmitted back to Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time, and then slowly came back to his senses, so angry that he threw the things on the table to the ground, and walked back and forth in the camp tent for a long time, until the guards reported that Xu Yu and Chen Lin came to ask for a meeting, Yuan Shao put away the anger on his face, q
