Chapter 85: Hanyang (4)

Since Yang Kai took charge, there have not been many opportunities to fight with the armies, and everyone knows that he finally sees his skills today, so he is naturally excited.

Since there has been a large-scale training, whether it is a soldier or a general, the archery skills and quality have improved a lot with the naked eye, he is overjoyed, and he is also confident, take three arrows, come to the platform, and his expression instantly becomes solemn.

The voices of the surrounding onlookers stopped, they seemed to be with Yang Kai, they all held their breath, and even the pro-soldiers who were raised for him behind them felt their hearts pounding.

You must know that the generals in front, except for Wang Biao, the other people have good results, if Yang Kai shoots not as well as them, or even only shoots at the same level as everyone in front, and he is the last to appear, he will look shameless.

And in this short period of time, Yang Xingxing has already had a plan.

Bending the bow like a full moon, the first arrow, decent, shooting the shortest flag, when it is a hot hand, did not give others to think about why he shot the flag in the opposite order of the people in front of him, the second arrow followed, and passed through the flag in a dignified manner.

Arrows are fired in succession, without losing the head, can still shoot through the flag, you can see the skill, the people on the side can't help it, applaud endlessly, the tiger Ben guards are more swords and shields to hit each other, shouting the name of the general.

The screams continued, Yang Kai raised his bow and arrows, his eyes showed a cold light, the bowstring thunderbolted, the arrows were like meteors, and the third arrow hit the flagpole, rising from the ground with the flagpole, bringing up a burst of mud and sand, and flying out of the distance.

Both the soldiers and the generals were stunned. Everyone has heard of the archery technique of piercing Yang [1] in 100 steps, but if you see it with your own eyes, many of them are the first time.

Shoot the two difficult flags first, treat the simplest flag with the most relaxed state and the most rigorous attitude, and shoot the results of the astonishing skills, this is Yang Kai's strategy, the same idea of planning the battle, gnaw the difficult bones first.

Behind him, Zhao Hu seemed to have expected it, and he didn't care, Yin Zuochan, Cai Qian, Wang Biao and others saw it, and they were shocked, and Hu Shahu was convinced when he saw it.

"The general is amazing! This is a divine shot, this is a divine shot. On the high platform, Qin Chuanzong shouted loudly. The soldiers also saw that the gongs and drums were beating louder.

Yang Kai turned back, there was no complacent emotion on his face, he only felt that he looked at the sky high and the clouds were light, looked at the majestic city from afar, and saw the soldiers and the people jubilant up close, and suddenly felt arrogant:

"Please see it together, I Yang Kai is such a good general, and there are such elite soldiers, the court is corrupt and greedy, the officials and soldiers are paid and fed, our army is taking advantage of the situation, and now Mr. Qin's text is spread all over the world, I am afraid that I can't change the world."

Yang Kai's guess about Hu Shahu's character was accurate. Although his methods are cruel, he and Han Bin and Cao Mang, who are all the way, have a sympathetic mind with heroic influence.

I think back then, Han Bin and Yang Taisui also met from archery, and the sentence "You are a dog, you shoot arrows well, do you want to enter the brother's camp and be a four-in-command", there must be today's Han Bin.

Yang Kai did his best to show off without boasting, and in turn encouraged the morale of the three armies, stabilized everyone present with archery, and did not show off, praising them as good generals, and bravery and resourcefulness were unheard of.

Next up is riding.

Yang Kai and Su Fuan fought in a hurry, and won a big victory without accident.

Cai Qian and a general under Su Fu'an fought together, which also attracted full applause, and finally made a strategy, narrowly defeated a few moves, and won without force, but in the land of war, there is no fairness at all, but it is also convincing.

Yang Kai also guessed Hu Shahu's thoughts, and deliberately divided him and Zhao Hu into a group, which became the most eye-catching battle.

Hu Shahu sat on a tall horse, wore a cyan brocade jacket, stepped on a team of cooked leather boots, and held a single-edged eight-ring broadsword that had been swept from nowhere.

Zhao Hu was accustomed to not repairing his appearance, wearing a military jacket that had not been changed for more than a month, obliquely taking the horse lance, holding the reins in one hand, galloping out of the horse to the vacated field, and maneuvering around the horse.

Both of them did not seal the blade and did not say a word.

Hu Shahu suddenly stared at the round eye, picked down the ring knife in his hand, slapped the horse and rushed forward, to fight Zhao Hu, the two horses were under the attention of everyone, and collided with each other, only to see the knife and gun fighting for it, back and forth, the horse lance shook the wide knife and sounded, and the ring knife forced the horse lance to fly, all called brave.

Zhao Hu first met Hu Shahu, but he didn't know that he was born with brute strength, Pu Yi suffered a dark loss in the fight, and he whirled around the horse, but he shouted angrily, and he only looked at Hu Shahu in front of the door. The latter raised his knife to block, and then the Xueliang blade went straight to his heart, coming and going, fighting for seventeen or eighteen rounds, and it was still difficult to distinguish, but Shahu felt that he was gradually losing his strength.

The two exchanged blows and roundabouts, but Zhao Hu suddenly jumped on his horse and swept out of the dust, Hu Shahu did not show weakness, raised his knife violently, and only heard the sound of the blade.

Zhao Hu since the defeat of the first battle of Luo Dai in the first battle of Shanshan, hard training horse lance, in addition to the use of horse lance is not unfamiliar, but also to find more good horses, but also learned to use the brain skillfully to fight, more than a dozen rounds down, he has found Hu Shahu a flaw.

When the lance is changed to piercing in a horizontal throwing posture, the lance is in the middle of an iron ring on the back of the Husha Tiger ring knife, and with a pop, the iron ring breaks, and the ring knife is taken out of his hand.

Hu Shahu was unexpected, and hurriedly held the reins to control the horse, but the former actually pulled the reins of the horse, sat down on the horse, and suddenly stood up and stepped towards him.

Where did Hu Shahu know that Zhao Hu still had such a horse technique, and he didn't expect that he could force his big knife to leave his hand, and in such a dangerous situation, he had rich escape experience in battle, and immediately turned around and swept off the saddle and swept off the ground, letting the tall horse be trampled to neigh.

Zhao Hu saw him roll a few times in a row, so he barely stabilized his body, and he didn't chase after him, only glared at Hu Shahu with a pair of tiger eyes.

I saw that Hu Shahu, who lost his knife first and then his horse, did not shamelessly pick up the knife and rush forward, but returned with a fiery and warlike gaze, and said solemnly:

"This battle was won by General Zhao."

Zhao Hu nodded, turned around and did it in one go, leaving only a sturdy back for everyone.

The rest of Cai Qian, Zhao Hu, and Yang Kai are all generals in his headquarters, and there is no need to compare. Zhao Hu returned to the Jiangtai with his horse, jumped off the horse, the horse lance was inserted vertically, standing on the side of the horse, he walked up to the high platform and walked to Yang Kai.

"General, the three-day military celebration is over, when will we attack Hanyang. Under the command of Zhao Hu, the men and horses will be soldiers, but whenever there is a battle, they will do their best. ”

Yang Kai laughed when he heard this.

"Three days later, the army will be raised in Hanyang!"

After the wine, meat, and tiger flag were rewarded, the military competition activities gradually came to an end, and the next thing was to quickly spread the text to disturb the hearts of the people in Hanyang, and set aside three days to prepare for military training.

Chen Yuzhu came on the night of the end of the military competition, and his reconnaissance battalion did not stop, received Yang Kai's order, and entered Hanyang first with the text.

A few days of leisure will soon pass. Conquer cities and make battle plans, without delay.

In the evening, Yin Zuochan, Cai Qian and others came to see Yang Kai, and between the two, they once again discussed the military after Hanyang.

Yin Zuochan agreed with Yang Kai's idea of attaching importance to Hanyang, and said:

"Hanyang is adjacent to the Yangtze River, the land is fertile, and the grain yield is low. There should be merchants on both sides of the river, and you can get a trade route to the south of the Yangtze River here; The geographical location is very good, and it should be used as an important stronghold for our army to go south this time.

I have been here when I was practicing medicine, and there are few defenders and not many militiamen. The general attacked Wuchang this time, if he did not enter the city, De'an would be too far away from the battlefield in front, the supply of grain and grass, the difficulty of transshipment, and the stabilization of Hanyang was equivalent to stabilizing the heart of the army fighting in the south. ”

Yin Zuochan's words speak of the thousands of benefits of Hanyang, but it is difficult to do it.

Now they are no better than that day to take advantage of the victory to plunder De'an and other places, now the news of the flow into the lake has probably spread, the situation in the cities south of the Yangtze River will gradually stabilize, after the stability will form a situation of the same qi and branches, mutual reinforcements, hard work to fight down, delay the time, but also beware of whether the officers and troops will gather troops to suppress.

Just say that now, there is a big problem in front of Wuchang, and if He Ying does not come, it is very difficult to lay down here under the circumstances that they have already expected from the family officials.

But there is also a question to consider.

Where there is an army that must be saved, there is a city that must be defended. In other words, there is hope that reinforcements will arrive, and those who defend the city will have the confidence to hold on.

If you can defeat their reinforcements and turn them into lonely cities one by one, with their ability to attack the fortifications several times recently, it will not be difficult to conquer the city.

How can reinforcements not come? Yang Kai only thought of a way to make everyone in danger and not dare to help.

They focused on this idea this time.

Comparing the geographical location of Hanyang, Wuchang and other places, the most significant strategic position is naturally Wuchang. south of Wuchang, a land rich in grain and rice; To the north of Wuchang, the Yangtze River can go straight down to the south of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that Wuchang is the gateway to the east, west, north and south, and to seize this place is equivalent to closing the gate of the Jiangnan into the lake.

Yin Zuochan also thought of the fact that He Jin came to Wuchang in time for them to take Hanyang, and said, "Why didn't the general create a lonely city?" ”

Cai Qian's impression of Yin Zuochan is still good. I don't know why, my studious heart has risen a lot recently, earlier because he was too arrogant, looked down on people, in Cao Mang's army, but also repeatedly opposed their strategy to Cao Mang, on the surface polite, in the bones of the rejection of people, and later saw that he was quite insightful in decision-making, but also put down the mustard.

Yang Kai also had the intention of improving his status in the eyes of the people, so he pretended not to understand what he meant, and asked, "What is the creation of a lonely city?" ”

Yin Zuozen thought for a while, pointed to the map and said:

"Although Wuchang is the gateway to the Quartet, it doesn't matter if you can't take it at the first time. We can first encircle Wuchang, and then divide the troops into two roads, stabilize Hanyang in the west to resist Chengtian, and enter Changsha in the south of Yuezhou.

Without the echo of Wuchang, everyone in Yuezhou is in danger, and there is a feasible strategy for the general manager of Shang to surrender, once Yuezhou is in chaos, Wuchang will become a lonely city, at this time He Yingzong should have arrived, the two armies are encircled, and it is not difficult to conquer.

As for Chengtian, if you want to refuse him to come to help, I'm afraid it won't work just to defend it, and since the general is doing the momentum of the virtual army, why not simply carry out the strategy of the virtual army to the end? We simply struck first, and went west to fight a few cities of him, and bluffed the defenders of Chengtian. ”

After a few glances, Cai Qian saw Su Fuan, Zhao Hu and others nodding again and again. Yang Kai also had a reassuring expression, he should have thought that it was similar to Yin Zuochan, and then took the lead in clapping his hands and praised: "Mr. Yin's plan is wonderful!" ”

[1] The words of the Warring States period raise the base, the arrow shoots the willow leaves a hundred steps away, and an arrow runs through the center of the willow and red willow leaves, so it is said that a hundred steps through the poplar.
