Chapter 31: Embattled
After Jiao saw a group of boats fighting disappear from his field of vision, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and after hesitating, he decided to call a foreign helper to play.
That person was the former general under Liu Biaojun, who had previously hunted down Liu Bei with Cao Chun in Changbanpo.
When Wen Ping heard that an unknown ship was approaching Gangneung and left quickly, he immediately knew that it was not good.
It just so happened that Wen Ping had just received an order to bring a team of soldiers and horses under his command to Shiyang to contain Xiakou, and his soldiers and horses were already ready to stop, so he simply attacked in advance to see the enemy's reality.
There are many big ships in the Wenpin Department, he stood on the bow of the ship and looked at it, although he couldn't see the appearance of the enemy, but he could already guess that the person must be under Liu Beijun's command, he looked up to the sky and sighed, his mood was quite complicated.
The previous cooperative relationship between Wen Ping and Liu Bei was not bad, if it weren't for Liu Bei's power being too weak, Wen Ping would also be willing to mix under his account.
He hesitated, but quickly made up his mind.
It doesn't matter who you are here, since you are here today, you can be my civil recruitment!
He no longer hesitated at the moment, and immediately ordered his soldiers to drive the boat and advance quickly, Lu Yi saw this, and knew that the last chance had been lost today - it was no longer realistic to attack with fire under the unfavorable wind direction, and the Jingzhou army now had the backbone, and it would definitely not surrender casually, and the battle had reached an irreversible point.
It's still a failure.
He was faintly lonely, but helpless.
This is the case with a weak enemy and a strong enemy, Liu Beijun's strength is limited, and he has to defend Xiakou, the opportunity is fleeting, and next time there will be such a good opportunity, I don't know when it will be.
"Sail!" He sighed helplessly.
Guan Ping laughed and said loudly:
"Drive the boat, go straight to the clerk!"
What?!
Lu Yi and Liu Dian thought they were hallucinating, but Guan Ping's soldiers faithfully carried out the order.
An earth-shattering drum beat sounded on the cold river, and the warships that were ambushing countless Liu Beijun soldiers immediately marched together, sailing against the current, and slammed into Cao Jun's fleet!
"You're crazy!" Rao was bold and bold, or was he stupid by Guan Ping's crazy attack.
There is no moon and no stars tonight, the eternal Yangtze River is pitch black, and under the faint light of the swaying torches on the bow of the ship, Guan Ping's young and delicate face faintly shows a bit of madness, which makes Lu Yi fall into an ice cave, and he doesn't know how to react for a while.
But they were still advancing, Liu Beijun and the generals faithfully carried out Guan Ping's crazy orders, they swung their oars vigorously, like moths to the fire, and pounced on the enemy army!
Guan Ping stood at the bow of the boat, completely ignoring the despair of Lu Yi and Liu Dian around him, and sang loudly with a knife in his hand:
"Emperor Gaoyang's Miao descendant, Emperor I said Boyong!
Seti Zhen is in Meng Xi, but Geng Yin I surrender! ”
This is the famous poem "Lisao" by the poet Qu Yuan of the Chu State, when the famous poet was born, the Chu State was still very strong, but under the constant threat of the Qin State, the Chu State was declining day by day, and it was no longer strong. After the death of King Huai, the capital of Chu was also breached, the great poet saw the destruction of his family and country, and threw himself into the Miluo River with full of grief and indignation, but his poems with a strong romantic style and lofty ambition have been passed down from generation to generation, and have been praised by the Chu people to this day.
Guan Ping opened his mouth and sang, and the soldiers on the surrounding ships also sang.
The common memory of the Chu people from generation to generation, the helplessness and grief of the country and the death of the Sanlu doctor came into reality, and every Jingzhou person who was oppressed couldn't help but sing, and was embattled for a while.
The surrounding Cao Jun sailors seemed to have been cast some magical spell, and they couldn't help but stop.
Guan Ping's soldiers had already burst into tears.
They were all natives of Jingzhou, who closely followed Liu Bei when Cao's army went south, and never dispersed after the defeat of Changbanpo, and were willing to fight to the end with a strong enemy.
The enemy army is large and may not be able to defeat, and the ballad of Chu sung by Guan Ping immediately became the most inspiring war song, although the size of their war ship was far inferior to Cao's army, but they still indulged in singing sad tunes, surrounded by all the ships on the river, and directly won the Wenhi!
What about clerical employment?
A person who betrays his lord and is in a high position by relying on the suffering of his fellow villagers, and this kind of person dares to drive the generals to fight?
Look at us pulling you down today!
Wen Ping was taken aback, he didn't dare to have such a thing.
The enemy dares to come!
He has commanded the army for many years, but at the critical moment, he is really . Embattled, isolated and helpless!
In order to avoid the ship absorption effect, his fleet was very scattered, Guan Ping quickly approached, and Wen Ping was in a daze for a while, and he forgot to beckon his subordinates to move closer to him.
"Still stunned! Kill him, kill this thief! Seeing Wen Ping in a daze, Jiao Jian stomped his feet again and again angrily, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers around him to fight.
At this time, another strange cry sounded on the river, and a man laughed and roared in an almost crazy voice:
"It won't be wrong, it won't be wrong, it is worthy of being the son of Guan Yunchang! Brothers in Jingzhou, if you don't help, don't get in the way, today I will slaughter this northern barbarian for my brothers! ”
The Qu Chang who had made trouble before had been hiding in the team chasing Guan Ping without saying a word, and everyone had not noticed his existence at all, and now he had called his corporal to set up a big ship and killed in front of Wen Ping's boat.
"Get out of the way!" Wen Ping woke up like a dream and quickly ordered the big ship to dodge.
But the fighting ship that Qu Chang was riding was merciless, and it hit it like a rushing car, and Wen Ping's martial arts were extraordinary, but he couldn't withstand this amazing impact, and was almost thrown directly into the river.
The surrounding soldiers looked at everything in front of them in astonishment, and heard Guan Ping call out in a loud voice:
"The fathers and elders of the Chu State want to stop me, and the younger generations will eliminate harm for the monarchs today, and they will never hurt people at will. I only kill Cao Jun, please give way to the dukes! ”
The soldiers under Guan Ping's tent also shouted in unison:
"Please give way! Please get out of the way! ”
"Only kill Cao thieves, only kill Cao thieves!"
"We are our own people! We are our own people! ”
Although there are many children of families and full-time soldiers in Jingzhou, most of them are half-peasants and half-soldiers, and they eat together.
Most of their ambitious elite soldiers must have followed the previous fleet to attack Xiakou, and the ordinary sailors who pursued Guan Ping at night were originally only a few thousand people patrolling the night.
On the one hand, there are their own people who sing Chudi songs, and on the other hand, the northern army that was still the enemy not long ago, and the Jingzhou navy who usually fights in groups knows that they follow the accent to help the villagers immediately make up their minds after a little hesitation, they did not assemble according to Wen Ping's instructions to block Guan Ping's sailors, but scattered the boats one after another, and some of them deliberately collided together.
"Oh, the moon is dark and the wind is high today, and those people don't know where they have gone!"
"They are all businessmen who are begging for a living, why chase them again!"
Seeing that the boats in front of him gave way, Guan Ping shouted, and thanked the Quartet with his fists in the firelight, and the soldiers under his command saw that everyone really gave way, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they rowed desperately, and they immediately killed in front of the Wenpin boat.
Wen Ping's men also had loyal soldiers, and when they saw Wen Ping being attacked, they hurriedly surrounded them from all directions, but their comrades-in-arms very tacitly drove warships to block and delay their advance, or simply collided with each other.
"Help the strangers beat our own sons! What are you! ”
"I'm here to help our general!"
"Who are you old Luodi helping!"
"You're either that!"
For a while, all kinds of swear words flew on the river, and Guan Ping's subordinates also used their own boats to block Wen Ping's subordinates, and shouted in the Chu dialect Don't fight.
This strange and outrageous scene made Lu Yi and Liu Dian stunned on the spot, and looked at Guan Ping, who was already eager to try and ready to fight, with unbelievable eyes.
"Brother Guan," Lu Yi felt a little dry, "These people have discussed with you before?" ”
"No, on the fly." Guan Ping looked ahead, "They are all old folks for many years, and I call them to help the Han family not necessarily help me, but if they help me beat these outsiders, they may be willing to help." ”
"So, what if it doesn't work?"
"I'm not going to die." Guan Ping was very frank, "I heard people thousands of years later say that I am the key to saving the Han, how can I die here?" ”
Lu Yi: ......
I have heard people say that this Guan Ping is not necessarily Guan Yu's parent.
Looking at it now, the father and son are exactly the same, just like a fake.
