Chapter 259: Night Attack on the Plains
Hearing Zhang Liao say this, everyone else also nodded.
Tian Yu said to Zhao Yun: "Duwei, I am also familiar with them. β
"Even, we are like brothers."
"But now the big thing is ahead."
"Private feelings can only be put aside."
"Otherwise, how can we be worthy of Wu Hou?"
"I don't know anything else, I only know that it was Wu Hou who trusted me so much and gave me my current status."
Zhao Yun sighed: "Who is not? β
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yun said loudly: "Pass the order, all the generals will gather in the handsome tent!" β
Suddenly, roars rang out in all directions.
Zhang Xiu and others, who were training with the cavalry, also stopped and rushed to the handsome tent.
Zhao Yun showed the letter of Wuhou Lu Yi to all the generals.
After that, he ordered the army to divide into two parts.
Part of it was Zhang Xiu's 5,000 cavalry, who could rest in the barracks for half a day.
Half a day later, we immediately set off for the plain port.
Once the army captured the port of the plain, the cavalry immediately crossed the river and made a detour to the rear of the plain, blocking the possibility of the retreat of Yuan Shao's defenders on the plain.
The other part was that Zhao Yun himself led an army of 40,000 people, set off half an hour later, and rushed to Linji Port with light equipment.
Song Xian was responsible for the follow-up grain transportation.
At the same time, people rushed to Qingzhou urgently, so that Zang Ba immediately sent troops to assist in the attack on Pingyuan Port.
The military order was issued, and the entire barracks were busy.
Half an hour later, the army was reorganized, Zhao Yun was the main general, Zhang Liao was the deputy general, Tian Yu was the vanguard, and the army of 40,000 marched towards Linji Port.
And at this time.
Pingyuan County Ya.
Night falls.
Guan Yu came back from the port patrol, and after dinner, he knelt in the hall and waited to watch "Spring and Autumn".
Guan Yu has no other preferences in his life.
Only practice martial arts and read history books.
Among them, he likes "Spring and Autumn" the most.
The various stories in "Spring and Autumn" are not only life, but also military battles.
Guan Yu has watched "Spring and Autumn" dozens of times.
Every time he reads it, he can have new insights.
Just when Guan Yu was looking seriously, a drunken figure walked in.
The strong smell of wine made Guan Yu couldn't help frowning.
When he raised his head, he saw Zhang Fei walking in with two large jars of spirits.
Seeing Guan Yu looking over, Zhang Fei grinned and said, "Second brother, I'm so bored drinking alone, you can accompany me to drink a few sips." β
Guan Yu exhaled, put down the bamboo slip, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, you are drunk all day long, what do you look like?" β
"Now Yuan Shao has asked us to guard the plains, and the eldest brother is not by his side, but he is going out with Yuan Shao."
"If we are not cautious and something happens, it will only affect the eldest brother!"
"If you don't do it, it's even life-threatening!"
Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu's side, sat down, put the wine jar beside Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" β
"In this big place, if anything happens, we can send troops as soon as possible."
"Moreover, we have been here for more than half a year, and nothing has changed in Xuzhou!"
"Yuan Shao's old boy also said before that Jiangdong is now resting and recuperating."
"Before we set off, my eldest brother also said, let's be careful."
"Now, second brother, aren't you watching?"
"Drink a little wine, just a little, and it's out of the way."
"Even if he is drunk, whoever dares to attack, I Zhang Fei will stab him to death with a long halberd!"
Guan Yu watched Zhang Fei pick up the wine jar and drink it again, sighed and said, "I don't know how the eldest brother is now?" β
Zhang Fei smiled: "What else? I see, he's having a great time! β
"Now we have taken refuge in Yuan Shao, the old boy of Yuan Shao, this old boy of Yuan Shao's family has a big business, and he may be able to dominate the world in the future."
"Yuan Shao, this old boy, attaches great importance to our eldest brother, and also asked our eldest brother to be the main general and go south to attack Xudu."
"In the future, Yuan Shao, the old boy, will really win the world, and our eldest brother will also be a hero."
Guan Yu sighed and said, "Hero? β
If this is the ending that the eldest brother is looking forward to, then it is not impossible to follow Cao Cao in Xu Du at the beginning.
This Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both raccoon dogs.
Some time ago, I heard that Yuan Shao's mastermind Tian Feng killed himself in prison.
Na Tian Feng, although he has never been waiting to see his three brothers, is a meritorious figure in Yuan Shao's destruction of Gongsun Zhan.
Now, Gongsun Chan is dead, and Tian Feng is also dead.
I feel a kind of sadness of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook".
At this point, he felt that Cao Cao was better.
However, Cao Cao is not a good thing.
Guan Yu's mind came to mind Lu Yi's appearance.
Nowadays, among the many princes, they only heard that he was benevolent, righteous and loved the people.
Whether it was taking Jingzhou, Lujiang, or Xuzhou, I didn't hear of him slaughtering the city.
I even heard that he also reduced the taxes of the people in his territory.
It seems that for the sake of the world's readers, countless papermakers have been hired with a lot of money to make cheaper and better paper.
Thinking of the scene when he and Lu Yi met in Tancheng, Guan Yu said: "If you have to find a side to take refuge, I still think that this lord of Jiangdong is much stronger than Yuan Shao." β
"And we've worked with him before."
"Another one, Zilong is still serving as a cavalry lieutenant in Xuzhou."
"It is said that the state envoy is also in Xuzhou."
Zilong, Zhao Yun's words.
Guo rang, Tian Yu's word.
Speaking of Zhao Yun and Tian Yu, Zhang Fei scolded and chattered: "Don't mention them, two traitors!" For the sake of glory and wealth, we abandoned our eldest brother and treated them as brothers in vain! β
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "You can't say that, third brother." Good birds choose trees to perch on, and good ministers choose the lord to serve. Zilong and Guorang are both a generation of generals, who follow us in a precarious situation and have no fixed place. β
"Now that they have a better choice, we should be happy for them."
"It's just, if it's a fightβ"
Guan Yu let out a long sigh.
Zhang Fei sighed and said, "Then why don't they learn from us?" β
Guan Yu said with a smile: "Everyone has different choices, and we can't use our own standards to strictly demand others." β
"Besides, when Zilong and Guorang were with us, they did their best."
"Especially Guorang, he followed us from a teenager to such a point, and he didn't get any credit, because we are sorry for him."
At this moment, the sound of a husband reporting the change sounded outside.
Guan Yu said softly to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, it's not too early, don't drink, go and rest!" β
Zhang Fei said: "Then I'll go to the port and patrol again, and then go to sleep." β
Guan Yu said angrily: "You are like this, how can you go?" You go to sleep, I'll see. β
Zhang Fei sighed and entered the bedroom with the wine jar.
Guan Yu shook his head.
Carefully placing the bamboo slips on the desk, Guan Yu walked out of the county office alone, came to the dock, and inspected the opposite bank while encouraging the soldiers who were still on duty.
On the other side of the Yellow River, it was pitch black everywhere, with only a few sentry posts emitting dim firelight.
But in this dark and moonless night, it also seems so small.
It's March, and the night wind is still cold.
Guan Yu shrunk his neck and muttered, "Zilong and Guorang, I hope we can watch each other so much and not fight, I really don't want to make a move with you." β
was inspecting half of the dock fortifications, but Guan Yu saw a few soldiers pointing at the night.
Guan Yu walked over and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
Several soldiers heard the voice and hurriedly turned around.
Seeing that it was Guan Yu, several people were a little distracted.
One of the soldiers was emboldened, pointed to the opposite side and said, "General, I seem to hear the sound of oars paddling." And, not a little, but a lot. β
Seeing this, the other soldier also said: "I seem to hear it too, and, as if it is approaching, it feels like the sound of hundreds of large ships paddling in the water." β
Guan Yu's expression suddenly froze, and he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he listened attentively.
The next moment, his face changed suddenly.
It was the sound of paddling!
It's just that the cold wind is howling, and if you don't pay attention to listening, it's not easy to hear!
Guan Yu suddenly roared: "Quick defense!" Enemy attack! β
The whole dock suddenly became noisy.
Countless soldiers converged on the dock fortifications from all directions.
However, the number of people is still too small!
Guan Yu kept roaring, directing the personnel to gather, and ran wildly in the direction of the camp.
There are definitely a lot of enemies!
But less than a third of the soldiers on duty today!
He could only pray that the enemy attack was not numerous.
However, Guan Yu had only run to the camp for less than two miles here, and on the water, countless bright lights suddenly lit up, illuminating the night.
Hundreds of warships were on the water, densely packed.
As the light lit up, a rain of arrows raged, directly covering the dock fortifications.
The screams instantly connected the city.
Hundreds of soldiers on the fortifications were nailed to the ground directly by a rain of arrows.
Guan Yu's eyes shrank sharply, and his breathing stagnated.
Numerous warships approached the docks.
Above, a tidal wave of enemy troops is surging.
Guan Yu screamed as he rushed towards the camp: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Retreat into the city! β
If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game!
He was careless and did not send more people to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and night attack!
In the camp, Yuan Shao's soldiers, who heard the sound of fighting on the dock and the screams of Guan Yu, got up one after another and ran to the city in a panic.
They didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they fled to the city with their weapons.
When Guan Yu commanded the camp army to retreat into the city in a hurry, Guan Yu climbed the city wall, and before he could catch his breath, he saw thousands of cavalry from the dock bypassing the plain city and heading towards the rear.
It's lightning fast.
Guan Yu looked in the direction of these cavalrymen, his beard raised slightly, and his eyes were a little dull.
Finished!
That directionβ
The road to Yecheng was completely blocked.
Other words.
The enemy's night attack this time is directly rushing to besiege the city, wanting to trap his 20,000 defenders of the plain in this city!
Guan Yu raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, his eyes reddened.
I'm sorry big brother!
The eldest brother entrusted him with a heavy task, but he failed to complete the task for him.
Suddenly, he felt the sword at his waist and wanted to die.
However, as soon as the saber was unsheathed, he closed his eyes again.
Death is an easy thing to do.
But as soon as he dies, what will happen to the eldest brother and third brother?
