Chapter 286: Meng Zhang Fei designed Niu Fu, and Guan Yun Chang Xingzhou caught poison
The battle in Yanjin City had already changed the moment the city gate was breached.
As Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhao Yun began to act, cooperating with each other, the Jizhou soldiers who were in ambush attacked one after another according to the established plan, and the forward troops of the Xiliang Army were soon trapped at the city gate.
And the follow-up soldiers of the Xiliang Army, whether they want to squeeze into the city gate with the forward army at the gate, or want to climb up to the top of the city and attack across the city, the resistance has become extremely huge.
Shicai, in the eyes of Niu Fu and others, the city seemed to be within reach, but at this moment, it suddenly became solid.
Moreover, through observation from a distance, Niu Fu and others also discovered that something was wrong.
"General, something is wrong!"
Sima Zhoushan, another subordinate of Niu Fu, suddenly said to him: "General, something is not right, the number of garrisons in Yanjin City seems to have suddenly increased a lot...... Didn't they all go to help Liyangdu? Why is there such a strong garrison......
Although Niu Fu's ability is the last among the generals of the Xiliang Army, after all, he has been in the army for many years, and he still has the most basic combat experience.
He hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of Li Yangdu......
I saw that on the other side of the Yellow River in the distance, the fire in the direction of Liyangdu was getting bigger and bigger, and the smoke was filled, if it were not for a large amount of grain and grass being burned, there would definitely not be such a fire and smoke.
Moreover, the scouts of the right side reported that the boats at the Yanjin Ferry had indeed been launched, and they were all carrying people in the direction of Liyangdu, and it would never be wrong for Liu Jian to divide his army to support Liyangdu.
No matter how you deduce, the current garrison force on Yanjin's side must not be very large! It's a sure thing.
Usuke scratched the back of his head in annoyance, and then looked in the direction of the battlefield.
Above the city, arrows rained down, and in front of the city gate, soldiers and horses gathered in clusters, obviously suffering from fierce resistance, otherwise the large army would have entered and swept away.
In order to present such a defensive position, there must be a sufficient number of soldiers, and according to the current situation, the number of soldiers and horses in Yanjin County is indeed very sufficient......
Niu Fu was puzzled: "Could it be that Liu Jian transferred reinforcements from Hebei again?" ”
Zhou Shandao: "It shouldn't be, if Liu Jian brings reinforcements, such a big move, our spies in Jizhou and Qingzhou will definitely not be left behind, they will have come back to report a long time ago, and our sentry in Liangzhou will definitely not make such a huge mistake......"
Niu Fu's expression was sullen, and he gritted his teeth and said: "And whether there are reinforcements in Hebei or not, what should be the current situation?" ”
Zhou Shandao: "General, the enemy army is strong and its morale has been lost, so it is better to withdraw the army for the time being and fight again in the future." ”
But after Niu Fu heard these remarks, he was furious and resolutely refused.
He roared: "Xiangguo does not allow me to fight with Liu Jian, and now I go against Xiangguo's order to fight, if I can't win, how should I face Xiangguo?" Isn't it a capital offense? ”
"Besides, I have sent 6,000 soldiers and horses to attack Liyangdu, and now I have burned his grain, occupying the enemy's throat, and the opportunity for victory is in my hands! If I withdraw, where will I leave those 6,000 sons?
"Liu Jian saw that we were evacuating and crossed the river with all his army, wouldn't my six thousand sons and daughters all die at the hands of the other side?"
Zhou Shan heard this and fell silent.
Indeed, after Niu Fu's analysis, it seems that it really can't be withdrawn.
Not to mention anything else, it would have been a great victory to defeat Liyangdu and burn the other party's grain and grass, but if it was because of the withdrawal of troops now, the lives of those 6,000 elites were lost...... Then this deal seems to be a loss.
Zhou Shan said again: "Then why don't your subordinates lead their troops to the front of the battle and urge the three armies to quickly attack Yanjin?" ”
Niu Fu hesitated when he heard this.
Zhou Shan is his most trusted Sima of the other department, and he is also a warrior, even in the fierce Xiliang army, Zhou Shan is also ranked high.
Now the situation under the city, if he is allowed to go, it will indeed be useful, but looking at the appearance over there, the opponent's defense is extremely tight, and the city of Yanjin can be described as a dangerous place, if his henchmen and warriors go, if something goes wrong, Niu Fu is afraid that he will regret it.
Just when Niu Fu and Zhou Shan were undecided, a scout hurriedly came to report.
"General, something is wrong!"
Niu Fu's eyes did not leave Yanjin, and he said casually: "What's wrong?" ”
"The large battalion in the rear of our army has been captured by the enemy! Now the enemy is burning my baggage and ordnance, and I ask the general to return to the rescue as soon as possible! ”
"What?"
Niu Fu was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of his Dazhai.
In the darkness of the night, it seems that some fires can be seen clearly.
Zhou Shan's face turned pale, and he was surprised: "How is it possible? Liu Jian didn't have enough people to divide his troops to rescue Liyangdu, how could he still divide his troops to fight my camp? ”
Niu Fu hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of Liyangdu......
But seeing the fire in Liyang, there's nothing wrong with it!
This is captured, right?
But what he didn't know was that on the side of Liyangdu, the six thousand elites had been exhausted, and the current fire was all an illusion forged by the trial and ordering people to burn firewood.
Large beads of sweat began to fall on Niu Fu's forehead.
What's going on?
Can anyone tell me what this is?
I've never seen such a strange situation before!
Zhou Shan seemed to think of something, and he hurriedly asked the scout: "How many soldiers are attacking my camp?" ”
The scout hurriedly said, "It's scary, but it doesn't seem to be much......"
Zhou Shan suddenly heard this: "In this way, this is Liu Jian's trick!" He must have already set up such a surprise army outside the city, and he will wait for me to leave the camp before making a sneak attack! The end is full of tricks. ”
Niu Fu said angrily: "So far, the battle of Yanjin cannot be abolished, Zhou Sima is here to supervise the army for the general, and I will personally lead three thousand elites to return to the camp to rescue!" ”
Zhou Shan hurriedly said: "The subordinates will swear to conquer Yanjin to the death!" ”
Then, Niu Fu divided three thousand elites and rushed towards his own burning camp.
The situation of Niu Fu's army did not escape from the eyes of Zhang He on the head of Yanjin City.
He watched Niu Fu return to the camp with a sneer on his face.
It's a real wrong step, a wrong step.
If you miss the opportunity in one move, it is equivalent to being subject to the enemy step by step.
Now Niu Fu's rear was secretly attacked by Zhang Fei, and on the side of Liyangdu, Yan Liang and Xian Pei had annihilated the enemy army, but Niu Fu still thought that his 6,000 soldiers crossing the river had succeeded!
This deviation alone was enough to put all his soldiers and horses to death.
If the expectation is not bad, Yan Liang will lead his soldiers and horses to cross the river and come back as a surprise army to support Yanjin!
And once the battlefield of Yanjin is set by his side, then Niu Fu will be completely finished tonight.
He just won't die on the battlefield today, and Dong Zhuo will never spare him when he turns back.
……
At this time, Zhang Fei had already laid down Niu Fu's camp.
For tonight's battle, Niu Fu dispatched almost all the troops used, and there were only more than a thousand guards in his large battalion.
At this moment, these more than 1,000 pawns have been killed by Zhang Fei.
He is now ordering the burning of the baggage and ordnance in the camp of Niufu, as well as the tents...... Anyway, if you can burn it, you will burn it, and if you start fighting for a while, you will definitely not be able to take it away.
Zhang Fei was in the camp while urging the sergeants to burn, and at the same time looked to the east with some anxiety.
At last, he saw a few horses speeding towards him from the east.
Zhang Fei suddenly felt refreshed.
When he was young, he saw that those scouts came to Zhang Fei in unison, and they all dismounted and came to meet him.
"Captain, according to the general's instructions, fifteen miles to the east, there is indeed a dense forest, and there is Ze in the depths of the forest, and Li Sima has set up an ambush there according to the general's orders."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Okay, very good, the art of war is cloudy: the terrain has those who are clear, those who are hanging, those who are branching, those who are narrow, those who are dangerous, and those who are far away...... My brother gave me a military plane in the past, and told me that no matter where I marched, I knew the terrain before I could fight, and I also lost my brother, and I developed this good habit, hahaha~~! ”
After saying that, I saw Zhang Fei rushing to a person behind him: "Take the written thing!" I want to leave a book for Niu Fu! ”
Zhang Fei's guards were suddenly a little stunned when they heard this.
He looked around and said, "Captain, in this, in this chaotic army, where can my subordinates find you a pen and ink slip?" ”
Zhang Fei took a deep breath and raised his hand suddenly, about to whip him.
The guard hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face.
But for a long time, there was no movement, and the whip never fell.
The guard cautiously lowered his hand and peeked in.
saw Zhang Fei looking at him with a smile.
"Teasing you...... Look at how scared you are! My brother taught me early that I should not only respect the doctor and treat the common people...... You should also be generous, especially your subordinates, and you should not be humiliated at will. ”
The guard was amused.
But seeing Zhang Feichang sighing, he said: "But I really wanted to shake you just now, this little thing, I have to teach you by hand, can you not grow your strength in the future, but also grow your brains?" ”
The guard hurriedly said, "Please show the captain!" ”
Zhang Fei said angrily: "In this battlefield, there is no pen and ink, there are always flags and dead people, right?" Tear up a white flag and stain it with human blood, isn't that enough? It's really not good, you can tear a piece of people's skin down! ”
The guard hesitated, "If the fresh human skin is not dried, I can't write......
Zhang Fei raised his hand again and said, "Hurry up and find it!" I'm really pumping you with the inkblot again! ”
The guard was startled when he heard this, and hurried away.
When he was young, he brought back the Zhenjun banner and bloody corpses in the Niufu camp.
Zhang Fei was stained with human blood, hurriedly wrote a few lines on the Daxu flag, and then asked people to hang it at the door of Niu Fu's handsome tent.
After a while, the scout came to report again, saying that Niu Fu was about to return with his troops.
Zhang Fei laughed, stepped on the black horse, and led his soldiers out of Niufu's camp.
……
……
And tonight's battle, Jia Xu in the rear of Niu Fu has also been paying attention, and keeps sending scouts to inquire about the battle situation.
First Liyangdu caught fire, then Yanjin couldn't be attacked for a long time, and then Niufu's military camp caught fire......
After each message was delivered, Jia Xu's heart sank.
When you hear about this, there is a problem.
It wasn't until he heard the news that the Niu Fu military camp was on fire that Jia Xu immediately got up and circled back and forth in the tent.
"I can't stay here, I ordered the soldiers, let's retreat back a hundred miles!"
When Jia Hong heard it next to him, he was immediately startled.
"Father-in-law, at the time of the war, we were ordered to guard the rear, and it would be just a matter of not driving the troops forward, if we are backwards now, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off General Niu's way back, in case General Niu is held accountable afterwards, how should you explain it?"
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this.
Yes, if you hastily withdraw your troops now, it is indeed easy to be questioned afterwards.
This crime of cowardice is not a trivial matter, and it is not good to be killed.
Jia Hong said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, it's still the same sentence, Liu Jian doesn't know you at all, your two thousand soldiers and horses are far away from the battlefield, and they can't pose the slightest threat to him, why do you bother to retreat, relying on the truth of the guilt?" ”
Jia Xu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
"I understand what you say, but I am...... Alas, the heart is not very steady! ”
"Father-in-law, don't think about it too much, it's okay, it's really okay."
But what Jia Xu and Jia Hong didn't know was that at this moment, an elite group of thousands of people was taking a boat, heading up the river and rushing towards his location.
In the flotilla, on the front of the big ship, stood two people.
One was the frustration of the overseer.
The other person, holding a green dragon sword, wearing scale armor and a green robe, stood proudly on the bow of the ship, majestic.
It's Guan Yunchang!
The two of them did not participate in the battle tonight, and had only one purpose.
That's Jia Xu!
