Chapter 433: Defection
In addition to the bravery of the soldiers on both sides, the factors that determine the victory or defeat are the generals' own abilities.
Among the many abilities, the ability to read on the battlefield is particularly crucial.
Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and other northern generals, their victory is strong in the battlefield situation. Guan Yu's white horse beheaded Yan Liang, and Zhang Liao's white wolf broke Wuhuan, both of which are one of the representative works of the two.
The macro strategic layout is not Guan Yu's forte, but the micro tactics are second to none.
To lure Cao Ren into the army, if he can't be defeated by his own troops and horses, and he still has to use Lu Meng's department, it is too much to underestimate Guan Yu.
Guan Yu chose to face the battle at the barbarian mouth because he fancied the terrain that was self-interested and unfavorable to the enemy.
From the point of view of east and west, the terrain of the barbarian mouth is the water by the mountain; From the north to the south, its topography is wide in the south and narrow in the north.
Therefore, when Cao Ren was in array, he sent Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang to lead the soldiers of Zhou County to seize the gentle slope and mountains on the west side, and Niu Jin led the elite to line up in the gentle area to fight against the Southern Han. Cao Ren's arrangement in this way did block the Han army's attack in the early stage of the operation.
However, although this arrangement is good, if any part is defeated, it will cause a chain reaction. Especially once the west side is defeated, the gentle slope and mountain range are occupied by the Southern Han, and the Han army soldiers are condescending, and Niu Jin's troops will inevitably be defeated.
Under the long-term battle, Guan Yu had insight into the changes in the situation on the gentle slope of the mountain range on the west side, and found that the state and county soldiers commanded by Fu Fang were not good in combat effectiveness, and because they were stationed on the gentle slope, there was a considerable distance from all the departments of the army.
Since Cao Ren had such a mistake, Guan Yu sent his first fierce general Liuzan to climb over the mountains and forests and storm Fu Fang's troops stationed in the mountains.
Ryuzan is nearly nine feet tall and has a burly body and thick beard. Because he has lived in Huiji since he was a child, the weather is hot, the wind and the sun are exposed, and the skin is quite dark.
Wearing a piece of fish scale armor with thick armor leaves, he holds a sword and shield. Because of the shadow of the mountains and forests, his burly figure is very intimidating.
In order to get a single blow, it forms a raid-like effect. Liuzan decided to take advantage of Fu Fang's attention to be attracted by Meng Da and Guan Ping, and climbed the mountain from the side.
Under the command of Liuzan, nearly 2,000 elite warriors, dressed in perseverance, walked in the shadows of the mountains and forests.
When Guan Yu leveled Shanyue, he once received 10,000 people from Shanyue, thinking that it was for the elite of the account. With the frequent outbreak of war, many of the old mountain people were killed and wounded. However, fortunately, there were many Shanyue people who stayed, and Guan Yu selected 2,000 people to think that they were elite and handed them over to the fierce general Liuzan Commander.
For these Shanyue people, climbing over mountains and mountains is like walking on flat ground. The rush down the small slope today is really not a difficult task.
Running to the slope, the Wei pawn stationed on the gentle slope found the Liuzan department, and couldn't help shouting in panic, shouting 'enemy attack'.
Then, dozens of Wei crossbowmen took the lead in shooting arrows, as if they wanted to shoot everyone back.
The Shanyue soldiers did not panic, held their shields, and rushed towards the gentle slope. The companion who followed held the already wound bow and crossbow, pulled the crossbow machine, and the crossbow bolt burst out of the air, knocking down several Wei crossbowmen.
A small number of crossbowmen were suppressed, and Liuzan, fearing that a large number of sergeants would come to help, took advantage of this opportunity to climb hard, three steps and one step, and hurried up the gentle slope.
The figure did not stop, roaring angrily, and Liuzan shouted with his high-pitched throat: "Kill! ”
Shouting and cheering, the sword light flew up like a match, and Liuzan directly slashed the face of a Wei pawn in front of him with a helmet and bones, exposing Bai Sensen's nose bone, his left eye was blinded, and hot blood spurted out.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a cold light coming from the left side, and Liuzan held a shield to block the incoming knife, and then waved the ring head knife in his hand, slashing Wei Pawn with one sword.
In a few breaths, Liuzan took the lead and slashed two Wei pawns.
Seeing the courage of his own general, the Shanyue soldiers were in high spirits, holding spears and knives, and rushed into the Wei pawn phalanx.
With the addition of his subordinate sergeants to the battle, Liuzan stood on a high place, and only then did he see the situation on the battlefield today, and the two armies of Niu Jin and Zhou Cang were inseparable. In order to cover Liuzan, Guan Ping led his cavalry to cut into the narrow area between Niu Jin and Fu Fang, and fell into a fight with Wei Cai.
There were about 5,000 people under Fu Fang's account, and his attention was greatly attracted by Meng Da and Guan Ping, and the army left on the west side to garrison was only about a few hundred. Now Fu Fang seemed to react, and supported the excess troops in the formation, trying to stop his own department.
However, the Shanyue soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles can not be dealt with by ordinary state and county soldiers, and the troops are still scarce.
The martial arts strategy of leaving praise, even Guan Yu was amazed. In order to completely defeat Fu Fang's troops, Liuzan picked up a sharp axe and joined the battlefield with the left and right.
With the sound of 'whirring' in the air, Liuzan swung his axe and slashed it on the shoulder of the Wei soldier.
"Click!"
Under the huge force, the shoulder blade was broken in half, the axe was cut directly from the shoulder to the armpit, and the arm fell directly to the ground, and red blood gushed out.
"Ahh
Wei Shu let out a terrible shout, and the terrible screams were clearly heard even in the chaotic army of thousands of people. Wei pawn, who fell to the ground, was painfully killed in the wail.
There were several arrows stuck in the fish scale armor of Ryuzana, and at the same time, the armor was soaked with blood, making it look cruel and terrifying.
The momentum of the Wei army is lost!
Fu Fang and the people around him have been overwhelmed by the courage of Liuzan and the danger of being surrounded on three sides.
Fu Fang's expression was timid, he was not a pure martial artist, he was only the Taishou of Nanxiang County, and he served as a civilian official and led the troops.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, soldiers and horses were divided into two types, one was the state and county soldiers, and the other was the central army.
The generals of the state and county soldiers are none other than others, but the county guards and the history of the state. The person who commanded the central army was a general appointed by Cao Cao.
For example, in the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Yongzhou soldiers alone were not enough to resist Zhuge Liang, so Zhang He was sent to lead the troops to rescue Guanzhong or Longyou all the year round. Since Zhuge Liang's death, when Jiang Wei went on the Northern Expedition, his threat was far less than that of Zhuge Liang's, and he only sent Shu guards out of Longyou.
Therefore, a county like Fu Fang is too guarded, and it is difficult to say that he has outstanding strategic ability.
Now that Mengda's plan is alone, he is already very frightened in his heart. However, now he is on the next level, facing a three-sided siege, and the enemy is so brave, which makes him more and more afraid in his heart.
"Who is this? Is this person Guan Yu? Someone asked in a trembling voice.
"It's not!"
Fu Fang swallowed his saliva and said, "Guan Yu is in charge of the Chinese army, how can he be dispatched?" ”
"How can a water thief be so brave?"
"What is the right thing to do now?"
Everyone was frightened and asked questions.
"Stay here, don't surrender quickly!" Liuzan shouted in a high-pitched voice.
I saw that when Liuzan called his name, the Shanyue army had been deeply wedged into the rear team, and the Nanxiang County soldiers were broken. Although there were many soldiers who fought bravely, they could not stand the strong armor and outstanding martial arts of the Shanyue soldiers, and the soldiers sent out before had been defeated.
"The general of the cavalry has sent sergeants to support!"
Someone saw Cao Ren sending a force to reinforce the mountains, and shouted loudly.
Then followed by the Shanyue soldiers, driving the Wei soldiers who were defeated by them, destroying the military formation everywhere, causing a chain reaction, and the entire military formation was disintegrated. Not only did Liuzan enter, but Meng Da also led the sergeants to break through the formation.
"The enemy has broken through the formation and can't hold it!"
"Fujun, retreat quickly now!"
Between retreat and fighting, Fu Fang had many doubts in his heart.
Looking at the situation of his own army being defeated like a mountain, as well as the unstoppable Liuzan and his Shanyue soldiers.
Fu Fang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Cao Renzhong Meng Da's plan to surrender by deception, leading the troops to advance lightly, and the defeat of our army has been decided." This journey is a long way, the mountain road is rugged, and it will be difficult for us to get out. Now that our army has fought so far, it has lived up to the emperor's grace. ”
"Now that our troops have been defeated and surrounded on three sides, we should surrender to the Han army for our major affairs. Guan Yu defeated Cao Ren and entered Nanxiang with the victory, and we can reuse it! ”
Fu Fang, as Nanxiang Taishou is not a fool, in this situation, his troops were defeated, and the army was destined to be defeated here. If you don't jump ship and surrender at this time, when he is captured, his treatment will be different.
Cao Rentong led Jingxiang's people to be defeated, and under the emptiness of Jingzhou, Nanxiang County, which he commanded, bore the brunt. If Guan Yu further raids Jingzhou, he will be of great use in the future as the current Nanxiang Taishou.
"Surrender Guan Yu?"
Someone questioned, but when they saw the Han army that was about to be killed, they changed their words and said: "Liu Gong's hope for the world, Guan Junhou is powerful in all directions, and it can be surrendered!" ”
In a few breaths, Fu Fang and his subordinates reached an agreement.
For fear of being injured by the Han army, they shouted loudly and said: "Nanxiang Taishou surrenders to the prince of Guan!" ”
"Nanxiang Taishou returns to the prince of Guan!"
……
Under more than a dozen shouts, the Han and Wei sides on the battlefield knew that Fu Fang surrendered Guan Yu.
In the Chinese army, Guan Yu heard that Fu Fang had surrendered to him, laughed loudly, and said: "The thief general is coming to the battle, and the enemy's army is shaken, and now Cao Ren is going to go!" ”
"Beat the drums, the whole army will attack!"
"No!"
Compared with Guan Yu's pleasure, Cao Ren was so angry that he vomited blood.
But if Fu Fang insists on it a few more times, when the follow-up soldiers arrive, it will not be like this. Now it's really as Guan Yu said, he is about to go!
Cao Ren scolded angrily: "Fu Fang dog thief! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Xiu said in an eager tone: "General, our army was ambushed by the enemy when we were in battle, and Fu Fang surrendered in battle, so it is advisable to withdraw quickly!" ”
"If our army is destroyed, Jingxiang will be empty!"
"Mengda!"
"Fu Fang!"
Cao Ren clenched his gums and said resentfully: "I will kill him in the future!" ”
Saying that, Cao Ren looked deeply at 'Guan' Daxu, and ordered: "Mingjin collects his troops and lets Niu Jin preserve his strength as much as possible!" ”
"No!"
"Dingding!"
