Chapter 335: The Battle of Linjin Harbor
Gao Gan looked at Hu Chuquan, looked at Hu Chuquan's flattering smile, and laughed.
The Huns are no longer bloody.
However, it is enough to be treated as a slave.
It was impossible for them to leave Hedong and return to Wuyuan County and Shuofang County to join up with another Xiongnu.
Using them to take Liangzhou and occupy Liangzhou, the Huns will be useless.
When the time comes, we must also find a way to eradicate them.
This is just a stupid donkey.
As a barbarian, he tried in vain to discuss cooperation with his own state pastor.
He also deserves it?
Over the years, if it weren't for the need to use them to involve Cao Cao, if it weren't for the fear that his brother-in-law Yuan Shao would suspect that he had ulterior motives, he would have done it to the Huns a long time ago.
Of course, it's not too late.
It's just a pity -
Gao Gan looked in the direction of Yecheng, the capital of Zhao Guoguo, to the east, and shook his head.
The three sons of my brother-in-law are still fighting with you and me, and they can't be separated.
Wait until you take Liangzhou, and then find a way to clean them up and annex them.
Three wastes.
Also worthy of fighting for Hebei?
Gao Gan led the generals to inspect all the way along the port.
After inspecting and confirming that there were only 5,000 troops of Tai Shici in Linjin Port on the other side, Gao Gan summoned all the generals to the Shuai Tent to discuss the specific strategy of capturing Linjin Port.
In the end, everyone unanimously discussed: Guo Yuan led 20,000 troops to be the vanguard, landed in Linjin Port first, fought a bloody road, and covered the 20,000 Hun cavalry in Huchuquan.
After that, the 20,000 main force led by Gao Gan crossed the river again, took Linjin Port in one fell swoop, and attacked Beidi County.
After the battle plan was discussed, the people dispersed and put the army in order.
After nightfall, Guo Yuan took the lead in leading an army of 20,000 as the vanguard, riding a warship, and directly attacked the Taishi Ci defenders in Linjin Port.
Although the 5,000 defenders of Tai Shi Ci were ready for defense.
However, there were only five thousand of them!
In the face of Guo's 20,000 troops, Tai Shici's 5,000 defenders only held out for less than an hour before they were defeated.
Leaving behind nearly 400 corpses, the 5,000 defenders led by Tai Shici retreated in a hurry in the direction of Beidi County.
Guo Yuan saw that the army led by Tai Shi Ci was so tenacious, leaving more than 400 corpses before he was reluctant to leave, and his expression suddenly perked.
In other words, there are indeed no reinforcements on Tai Shici's side.
But if there were reinforcements, they would not sit back and wait like this, and they would not retreat until more than 400 people were killed.
Moreover, although they are retreating, it can be clearly seen that they are trying to put up a neat array, as if to tell the enemy that although I am retreating, we have not been defeated, so don't catch up.
Without saying a word, Guo Yuan immediately ordered the war drums to beat and speed up the attack, and the army swarmed to attack the port.
The more Tai Shi Ci retreated in such an orderly manner, the more it showed that the other party's heart was weak.
If you don't take the opportunity to pursue now, you may not have this opportunity in the future!
Guo Yuan led an army of 20,000 to chase and attack Tai Shi Ci.
Behind Guo Yuan, Wang Yan saw that Guo Yuan led the army to chase and attack Tai Shici's army, and immediately summoned the Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan to lead his troops across the river and followed behind Guo Yuan's army.
Gao Gan personally led the army to the rear.
Seeing that Hu Chuquan Shan Yu landed on the opposite bank with 20,000 "Hun cavalry" without accident, and the defenders led by Tai Shici had already been chased and beaten by Guo Yuan with 20,000 troops all the way to disappear into the night, Gao Gan laughed, waved his hand, and immediately ordered the main army of 20,000 to start crossing the river.
Although it had long been expected that Liangzhou would pass through Cao Cao's massacre, the defense had already become extremely weak.
However, the easy defeat of Tai Shici's five thousand Danyang soldiers was still a little unexpected by Gao Gan.
It's too easy.
However, Gao Gan didn't feel anything unusual.
Guo Yuan has been catching up with an army of 20,000 for so long, and there has been no accident, which has already shown that it is safe.
Moreover, this time he brought 60,000 troops over.
No matter how strong the defenders of Liangzhou were, they couldn't muster together 60,000 troops to attack.
Just when Gao Gan followed the generals to cross the river and saw that he was about to Linjin Port Wharf, wolf smoke suddenly ignited on both sides of the shore of Linjin Port.
On Gao Gan's side, a general noticed this situation and hurriedly reminded: "State pastor, there is wolf smoke, there may be an ambush!" ”
Gao Gan is also a clever person.
In his early years, he followed Yuan Shao all the way from Chen Liu, and he was also extremely sensitive to wolf smoke.
As soon as this wolf smoke appeared, it means that there is an ambush in the land of wolf smoke.
However, it was too late at this point!
Guo Yuan's 20,000 troops and the 20,000 "Hun cavalry" led by Hu Chuquan had already crossed the river.
Even half of the 20,000 main army he led crossed the river!
Gao Gan gritted his teeth and issued an order to the commanders beside him: "Urgently cross the river to defend against the enemy!" ”
As long as the whole army crosses the river, then there are 60,000 people on their side, even if the enemy has an ambush, so what?
The commander suddenly roared around: "Urgently cross the river to defend against the enemy!" ”
The sound of one after another resounded over the entire Linjin Port.
But in the next moment, far away on the left and right sides of Linjin Port, countless firelights lit up instantly, and they rushed towards Linjin Port.
It was the fifteen thousand cavalry of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He and Gao Lan!
The sound of killing shook the sky!
Fifteen thousand cavalry quickly killed Gao Gan with lightning speed.
Gao Gan saw at a glance the five people who rushed to the front, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He and Gao Lan.
His face turned pale.
The five of them, how come they are all here?
And Gao Gan, who was already close to the port of Linjin Port at this time, was about to go ashore.
Gao Gan immediately ordered Hu Chuquan to lead 20,000 "Hun cavalry" to come back to help.
Hu Chuquan was very knowledgeable, and immediately led his troops back to help.
But seeing that they were about to confront the cavalry of Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Lan, the 20,000 "Hun cavalry" directly let them go.
No, to be exact, it was to gather with them and kill the main force of 20,000 mergers and states of Gao Gan!
The thousands of main forces that had just landed on the shore saw three huge cavalry rushing over, and one by one they jumped towards the big river.
The soldiers who did not have time to jump into the river were killed by the cavalry.
Gao Gan and the generals around him watched this scene in horror.
What's the situation?
Why did the Hun cavalry of Huchuquan be with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He and Gao Ran?
Huchuquan's Hun cavalry and the cavalry of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He, and Gao Lan killed the main soldiers of Bingzhou who did not have time to escape on the shore, and immediately surrounded the shore and kept shooting arrows at the main force of Bingzhou on the river.
Suddenly, the main forces on the river were hit by arrows and fell into the water.
Gao Gan's face turned pale, and he withdrew to the shore after constantly beckoning the army.
He looked across the harbor of Linjin.
Guo Yuan's 20,000 archers, who had already pursued and killed Tai Shici's 5,000 defenders, disappeared into the night.
At this time, their figures reappeared in the night.
They were turning their heads and running frantically towards the shore.
Behind them, countless fires quickly appeared in the night.
Lu Yi, who had already been ambushed, led the army to gather with Tai Shici and rushed over together.
Gao Gan looked at the firelight all over the mountains, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted.
Hit the trick!
No doubt!
Damn the Huns, they are also part of the strategy of the state of Wu!
Gao Gan could only watch as the 20,000-strong army led by Guo Yuan fled back to the Linjin Port Wharf.
His heart was bleeding.
Because, on the wharf of Linjin Port, there are 20,000 Hun cavalry from Huchuquan, as well as the cavalry of Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Lan!
Sure enough, Huchuquan's 20,000 cavalry, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He and Gao Ran had already driven the main force of Bingzhou led by Gao Gan down the river.
Seeing Guo Yuan fleeing back with an army of 20,000, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others suddenly sneered.
Tens of thousands of cavalry immediately turned back and pounced on Guo Yuan's army who fled back.
Guo Yuan was hurrying back to the shore.
But I saw countless cavalry rushing in front of me.
The first was the 20,000 cavalry of Huchuquan.
Guo Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Quickly stop the enemy army!" Behind us, there is an army ambushed by the State of Wu, tens of thousands of people! ”
However, what made him breathe stop instantly, Hu Chuquan's 20,000 cavalry rushed into their army and directly started a bloody massacre!
In front there were 20,000 Hun cavalry of Huchuquan, and in the back there were Wu Guobow infantry led by Lu Yi and Tai Shici.
Guo Yuan watched in horror as the army fell as quickly as wheat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
What's going on?
Why did it become the way it is?
Why are there so many Wu troops ambushed here?
Why did the Huns betray?
Guo Yuan led the soldiers to resist desperately.
Soon, behind the Hun cavalry, five cavalry squads penetrated the army like sharp swords and rushed directly towards him.
The leaders of these five cavalry squads, Guo Yuan actually knew them: Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Lan!
Guo Yuan's body froze in the distance, his eyes shrinking sharply.
I ask for mercy.
A sharp arrow whistled straight into the center of his forehead.
But it was Lu Bu who saw that Ma Chao was going to take the lead, so he immediately bent his bow and arrow, gave Guo Yuan an arrow, and shot Guo Yuan on the spot!
Ma Chao saw that he was about to behead the enemy's general, but when he saw that the enemy was about to be shot, he turned his head angrily, but saw Lu Bu laughing, brandishing a halberd, and constantly rushing back and forth among the enemy troops.
Guo's 20,000 troops on the port of Linjin were quickly annihilated.
Lu Yi, Tai Shici, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Ran converged and rode horses together and stopped at Linjin Port.
The soldiers in the back carried the warship up.
Gao Gan looked at the Linjin Port dock that the battle had ended, and he only felt as if his heart had been twisted with a knife.
However, he did not have time to grieve.
The enemy is coming.
If you don't leave, you won't be able to escape at all when the enemy army attacks!
As for Zhang Sheng's 10,000-strong army in Pubangang, he couldn't control it anymore.
However, he had just landed on the shore and was about to return to Pingyang City with less than 15,000 remaining main forces of Bingzhou.
But in the direction of Pingyang City, countless fires suddenly lit up.
Three places.
The sound of fighting all over the mountains quickly converged towards this side.
It was the three archery infantry led by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Lu Xun, who had already crossed the river from Xiayang City upstream to Pingyang and circled behind them!
