Chapter 639: Goodbye
Deng Ai and Xu Shu didn't understand what was wrong with today's general, even if they were sitting on a cart, they had to go to the front line to watch the battle.
was originally a move to put Guan Yu's army, but now it has trapped the two of them.
You can't really let Guan Yu go into battle on a cart, what kind of system is that?!
So, there is no way, find a craftsman in the army to carry out a temporary transformation of the board car, not to ask how exquisite the transformation is, just to be able to achieve the point of approximating the frame.
According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, as a general, can enjoy the frame of the corresponding regulations when traveling, so as to show his status.
But generally, this kind of frame is used for daily travel, or when participating in important events or banquets, leading troops to go on battle, and there are few generals traveling with a bulky frame.
Especially for a figure like Guan Yu, who was born as a standard military general, he fought in the army, and he had always ridden horses, and there was a special person in charge of the cover and Daxu, and he didn't need a frame at all.
Not to mention Guan Yu, even Liu Bei personally drove the Guanzhong Sanfu this time, and Cao Pi personally led the central guards to sit in Luoyang, and they didn't sit in the emperor's special Luanyu, all of them were on horseback to fight.
Today, after decades of endless wars, from the monarch to the chief general, there is basically no habit of talking about pomp and circumstance in the army, and this is not in line with the rules and regulations in the army.
But now, the second master has broken this rule.
There's really no way.
Guan Yu couldn't sit on the horse at all, and it was too bad to travel by scooter, but this old man had to go to the front of the battle to have a look. I had to compromise like this.
Change the cart a little, add some fixed parts, you can fix the cover and the big rope on the cart, and then find a horse to pull it, barely looks like a frame, so, it is somewhat majestic.
just appeared in front of the two armies, and it looked a little nondescript.
First, the regulation of the frame is seriously not in line with the rules, in addition to the general cover and the big silk on the body, there are no other accessories that show the identity, it is okay to see it from a distance, and if you take a closer look, it is easy to see that this is a board car changed.
The second is that the occasion is wrong.
If Guan Yu was inspected by the Son of Heaven to inspect local military affairs, then it would be reasonable to travel by frame, and the frame itself represented his identity and status. But in front of the two armies, who are you showing this identity to!!
The enemy won't spare you just because you're a general, okay.
But even so, Guan Yu still sat on the frame with peace of mind, and Guan Yinping was in charge, so he came to the front of the two armies.
At this time, Deng Ai and Guan Ping were not idle.
The general wants to watch the battle in front of the formation, and the army must not just let the general go alone, but must go to the front of the formation to provide support.
Besides, the original plan was to attack the city today, but now it's time to go out of the camp to fight, and these two people still have to lead the army to fight.
As for Zhang Liao in Deng County. At this time, Zhang Liao was on the upper floor of Deng County.
At this moment, Zhang Liao did not tie himself to the pillar of the city tower anymore.
Before, it was to motivate the morale of the soldiers, boost the soldiers' desire to fight, and pretend that they had nothing to do, so they endured the pain and tied themselves to the pillar.
But now, Zhang Hu has already led 20,000 soldiers to withdraw from Wancheng, and only Zhang Liao and 3,000 soldiers remain.
Among the 3,000 soldiers, there are 500 people, who are Zhang Liao's headquarters and personal guards, who belong to Zhang Liao's private support, and they don't have to do anything on weekdays.
Among the remaining soldiers, a large part of them are veterans who have followed Zhang Liao for more than ten years, and many of them have either followed Zhang Liao to fight in the White Wolf Mountain, or have accompanied Zhang Liao to bully Sun 100,000 under Hefei City, and they are all old brothers who have lived and friendship.
In front of this group of people, Zhang Liao really doesn't have to pretend anymore, these people will not lose their morale because they are seriously injured, as long as he Zhang Liao still has a breath, these old brothers will firmly believe that they still have the possibility of winning.
Today's situation is much more relaxed than when White Wolf Mountain and Hefei were under the city.
We were able to win then, and now, we have the same hope.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Liao, although he was already preparing to command the defensive battle at the head of the city, he still set up an incense case at the head of the city quite easily, and he didn't even wear armor, so he sat like this, calmly watching the army slowly gathering under the city.
People who have fought all their lives, life and death have long been downplayed, and under the siege of the army, Zhang Liao is surprisingly calm.
That is, seeing Guan Yu's frame appear in the military formation under the city, and looking at the familiar and unfamiliar figure under the cover, Zhang Liao felt a little emotional.
Brother Yun has been arrogant all his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he went into battle on the frame? !
I kind of want to laugh, but I can't.
At this time, the captain of the guard also seemed to have seen Guan Yu's appearance. Lu Gai and Da Xu, who symbolize Guan Yu's identity, have appeared in front of the battle, if it is not Guan Yu himself, who else can it be?!
This is a great opportunity!
The captain of the personal guard leaned over and suggested in Zhang Liao's ear, "General, can you send the soldiers out of the city to fight and break through the enemy's formation?!" ”
Zhang Liao was also stunned when he heard this, then smiled, waved his hand, and said, "You can just guard the city, and you don't need to worry about anything else." ”
In short, Zhang Liao rejected the advice of the guards.
Yes, Guan Yu went into battle on the frame, obviously seriously injured, and must be unable to move. But Guan Yu is Guan Yu after all, but he is not the brave and scheming Jiangdong child, if he wants to break through his formation, it is no different from sending him to death.
Therefore, Zhang Liao took the initiative to reject the advice of the guards, and only asked the soldiers to guard the city, which could be delayed for a day.
At this time, Guan Yu under the city, looking at Zhang Liao on the city tower from afar, was also full of emotion.
Former friends, but I didn't expect to meet again here, in such a way.
Thanks to Zhang Liao, he had to sit on the frame and go into battle, and Zhang Liao. At this time, he didn't even have the strength to stand on top of the tower, but he was also given by himself.
After sighing about this, Guan Yu asked Guan Yinping to find Guan Ping.
"Ping'er, you quickly lead the army to attack the city, late, the Wei thieves are afraid to withdraw to Wancheng!"
Guan Yu's words directly told Guan Ping, and quickly asked, "How does my father know?!" ”
Guan Yu was not annoyed, so he took it as a lesson to his son, and said, "For the handsome, knowing yourself and knowing the other is the best policy." Wen Yuan used soldiers, and he was good at breaking through the formation, but now I came to the front of the battle, but he did not move, why not?! ”
Guan Ping was also stunned. His father is famous, and he has always only had his own father break through others, how can there be a time when his father is being caught up?!
But if he said so, Guan Ping also knew that he would have to be scolded by Guan Yu.
After all, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has studied with Guan Yu for more than ten years, so it is impossible not to know the intention of Guan Yu to ask this.
Therefore, Guan Ping thought for a moment before saying, "Uncle Zhang is good at breaking through the formation, but I don't know it, and I have already taken precautions when I set up the formation. I thought that my uncle could also see it, so he didn't rush into battle at this moment. ”
Guan Yu smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Guan Ping's answer.
But then, Guan Yu still said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Now our army is gathered, and the Wei thieves are defeated, trapped in the city, just sitting and begging for death. Wen Yuan dared to skip people, he would not give up, now I am seriously injured, I have to sit on the frame of the battle, and it is inevitably inconvenient to move, such a good opportunity, but Wen Yuan has never moved, not because he is unwilling, but because he can't. ”
Guan Ping followed Guan Yu's words, pondered for a moment, hesitated, and said, "Father is saying. Wei thief troops are insufficient?! ”
Guan Yu nodded with a little relief and said, "You have followed me all these years, but it is not that you have not made any progress. In the past years in Hefei, Wen Yuan only had more than 7,000 people in his hands, and in the face of ten times the enemy, he still dared to lead 800 soldiers to charge into battle. If Wen Yuan really had 20,000 people in his hands, why didn't he dare to attack our army?! ”
Guan Ping nodded, but then shook his head and said, "But isn't Uncle Zhang also seriously injured?!" If there is no personal leader to rush into battle, it may not have a miraculous effect. ”
Indeed, in this kind of charge, the main general is the key, and it is where the courage of the whole army lies. If Zhang Liao can't lead the troops in person, the effect of charging will be greatly reduced.
But Guan Yu sighed, looked at his eldest son, and said helplessly, "Ping'er thinks that today's enemy and me, what Wen Yuan has done, retreat from the enemy, according to the enemy?!" ”
Guan Ping was stunned again, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he suddenly realized.
Indeed, if it was the original 30,000 Wei troops against 50,000 Han troops, and Zhang Liao still had three lines of defense in hand, Zhang Liao's purpose must have been to choose the right time to break through the Jingzhou army and relieve the siege of Fancheng after consuming part of the Han soldiers' combat strength.
But now, the comparison of military strength between the two sides has become 80,000 versus 20,000, and seeing that Zhang Liao can't even hold Deng County in his hands, only the last line of defense in Wancheng is left, and he can hold the line of defense, and it is not easy to prevent the Han army from entering Wancheng and open the passage into the Central Plains.
At this time, Zhang Liao must be based on the enemy first, and to base on the enemy, Zhang Liao needs to ensure the vitality of the city at the same time, but also to buy enough time for the defense of Wancheng.
Therefore, although Zhang Liao could not personally lead the soldiers to break through the formation, letting the soldiers assault the frame of the Han general Guan Yu, who was also seriously injured, would inevitably cause a burst of chaos in the Han army, which would inevitably disrupt the offensive rhythm and offensive deployment of the Han army today.
It's just to delay time, and it's not really to kill the enemy generals with the sudden formation, and whether Zhang Liao personally led the troops to charge the battle to force the Han army to retreat is actually not important.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Liao Danfan has 10,000 soldiers on hand, he shouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, after all, Guan Yu hasn't shown up for several days, and today is a rare appearance, and he has to wait for the next time he appears, and he doesn't know when he will go.
But Zhang Liao easily let go of this opportunity.
It can be seen that in Zhang Liao's hands, there may really be a shortage of troops, that is to say, it is really possible for the Wei army in Dengxian County to withdraw all to Wancheng for defense.
But. There is one more problem.
"Uncle Zhang is always a general, how can there be a reason why after the general is broken, the soldiers withdraw to Wancheng?!" Guan Ping asked suspiciously.
Guan Yu only sighed deeply and did not answer.
Guan Yu can face this kind of thing as a hero twilight, but he really doesn't want to say it.
Not only Zhang Liao's hero Chi Twilight, but also himself, is already a Twilight person.
This world will eventually be handed over to young people, so that they can fight for the revival of the Han Dynasty.
"Don't say much, just go and attack the city quickly."
This is the last military order issued by Guan Yu today.
