Han Shizu

Chapter 555 Game
Before dawn, a group of Shu troops quietly came out of the camp.More than [-] soldiers were all cavalry, with many pack horses and a large number of fire starters.

He didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, and his speed was extremely fast. He already knew the surrounding roads and geographical conditions very well, and his goal was clear, pointing directly at the Fuliang of the Weihe River.The night wind carried the moisture from the river, dispelling some of the summer heat. The leading general of Shu kept urging his subordinates to move forward at a faster speed.

The morning was dim, and the Weihe River was almost hidden in the twilight. Looking around, it was pitch black, with only a few flashes of light from time to time, proving the flow of the river.The floating beams across the two banks did not seem to be very strong, and they swayed and moved under the washing of the river.

In front of the floating beam, there are lights, just like a guiding light in the dark.On the south bank, there is a temporary barracks to keep horses and sheep's horns as a defense.When the Shu army withdrew back to Weinan and did not fall into the floating beams, it might be that they did not have plans to conquer Sanguan and cross north again.The two sides of Han and Shu were even more scheming, so this floating beam has been preserved to this day
However, now that the Shu army has made plans to withdraw its troops, it has to consider destroying it, so as to prevent the Baoji Han army from crossing Henan to pursue.In fact, the Han army suddenly appeared on Fuliang, which was originally unmanned, and Li Tinggui aroused vigilance.

The situation of the two armies is that on one side, I know that you want to withdraw, and on the other side, I know that you know that I want to withdraw, so it depends on how to compete.

"General, the Han army's defense of Fuliang seems to have been strengthened!" Running closer, looking at the situation at the ferry, an officer said to the leading Shu general.According to previous investigations, the Han army did not pay much attention to Fuliang, and only sent a battalion of soldiers. But now, just looking at the layout of the camp, there are at least a thousand Han soldiers, holding the target of their attack.

The general of Shu observed for a while, his face was determined, and he said in a deep voice: "The emissary is ordered to die, and the floating beams of the Weihe River must be burned. Don't think about it. No matter how many people he has, before the Han army reacts, he will kill you." I kill!"

After saying that, he took the lead in charging, and rushed towards the front of the floating beam. Under the warning of the sentry, Han Lei, who had slowly reacted, charged.

He was old and had shallow sleep. After being awakened, Zhao Hui quickly regained his clarity and asked about the situation.

"What's the situation in Fuliang?" Zhao Hui asked Xiang Xun who came to report in person.

"A Shu cavalry raided Fuliang, intending to burn it to pieces, but was rejected by the soldiers. I have sent troops to support it, and I have ordered to guard it!" Xiang Xun simply reported.

For a while, Zhao Hui had intentionally delegated power to Xiang Xun, as if this kind of impromptu decision, mobilizing troops, Xiang Xun could decide on his own.

"Choose such a time to raid Fuliang, it seems that the withdrawal of the Shu army is just today!" Zhao Hui made a judgment, and his words were affirmative.

Looking out at the sky, the morning sun had already emerged, and the sky and the earth were bright white. Zhao Hui punched his fist and said, "You can send troops!"

At this time, Yao Yuanfu came up to the hall with quick steps, not at all like an old man who was nearly seventy years old, wearing heavy armor, and there was no trace of burden in his pale face.

Standing with a sword in his hand, he said to Zhao Hui, "The commander-in-chief has made a decision, let me lead the troops to attack!"

Seeing the performance of the veteran, what else could Zhao Hui say? Fight to the death!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Yao Yuanfu left in a hurry, looking impatient.

Seeing this, Xiang Xun couldn't help sighing: "Your Majesty has said that ambition doesn't come at a young age! Yao Gong is nearly [-] years old, but he can still be so generous and bold, and he is so forthright. I really admire him!"

"Your Xiang Xingmin's generosity is rare!" Zhao Hui also praised Xiang Xun in person.

On Yao Yuanfu's side, he rode out of Baoji with [-] paces. This is the elite gathered from the Yushu army.Going straight to Fuliang, the Shu army who made a surprise attack couldn't fight for a long time. After dawn, they had no choice but to retreat.Although the Fuliang was not destroyed, it was inevitable to be damaged. When Yao Yuanfu led the army, the guarding Han army was cleaning the battlefield and rushing to repair the Fuliang.

For this, Yao Yuanfu was so angry that he jumped up and cursed at the north bank, and once had the urge to lead the cavalry to wade across the river.After a delay of nearly half an hour, Yao Yuanfu led his cavalry to set foot on the land of Weinan.

"My lord, the Shu army in Sanguan and Chencang Mountain has already pulled out their camp and retreated from the southwest, and they have retreated more than ten li!"

After getting Tanqi's report, Yao Yuanfu thought about it for a while, and immediately summoned Li Yan, a lieutenant general, and ordered: "I will lead the horse army first, and then pursue and entangle the Shu army. You lead the infantry and follow behind!"

"The last general should lead Qingqi to attack!" Li Yan persuaded.

"The military situation is urgent, how can I tolerate you? If the Shu army retreats, if it is delayed, the military plane is delayed, and the Shu army is released, how can I explain it?" Yao Yuanfu: "I will attack the enemy myself!"

"Jie Shuai—"

"You dare to violate my military order?" Yao Yuanfu turned his head and glared at him.

"The last general dare not!" When the old general became stubborn, the subordinate generals hardly dared to look at him.

"Also, report the general's situation to the commander-in-chief's residence, and suggest dispatching rear troops to support him!"

"Yes!"

Without further delay, Yao Yuanfu drove his healthy horses, led more than [-] riders, rolled up dust and smoke, and chased the Shu army in the southwest direction.Li Yan was helpless, but he didn't dare to neglect. He sent someone to report the military situation to the commander's mansion, and at the same time led the infantry and followed them.

In Baoji City, Zhao Hui'an sat in the courtroom, not moving a bit, but his old brows were slightly frowned, since Yao Yuanfu led the attack, he didn't relax much.

Weiji walked up to Xun, cupped his hands and said: "You are handsome, the army has been reorganized!"

"Xingmin, you should know why I asked you to reorganize the army!" Zhao Hui seemed to have regained his senses, looked at and asked.

Xiang Xun looked calm, and said: "Looking at Shu general Li Tinggui's ability to lead the army in battle, although there are few people who are amazingly commendable, he can be regarded as a little bit talented. The situation between the two armies can be said to be tacit. Since he withdraws, the Our army will not be unprepared for the pursuit! Yao Gong is going, it is best to make meritorious deeds, if there is a change, don't worry about it!"

Looking Xiang Xun up and down again, Zhao Hui couldn't help sighing: "No wonder, the Son of Heaven asked you to come to Fengxiang!"

"It's up to you, lead the army to adjourn, and meet Yao Gong!"

"Yes!"

Xiang Xun led the army, and before he had finished, he learned about the movements of the Shu army and Yao Yuanfu's decision.With a feeling in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and hurriedly urged the army, Yao Yuanfu seemed to be advancing aggressively on purpose.

More than sixty miles southwest of Baoji, near Gudao River, there is a village named Donghe. In the distance, there are undulating mountains and lush forests, but the surrounding area is relatively flat, like a depression.An ambush against the Han army's pursuers has already begun.

Li Tinggui, the coach of the Shu army, not only had a backup, but also planned to win a battle before withdrawing the army, so that he could go back to Sichuan for business.Yao Yuanfu led a light cavalry, chased for tens of miles, and broke through three soldiers in the rear of the Shu army, and finally bit the main force of the Shu army near Donghe Village.Then, they fell into a heavy siege, followed by a bloody attack and a hand-to-hand fight.

With decades of combat experience and countless adventures, Yao Yuanfu was not too flustered at the time of the siege, but with keen judgment, he decisively rushed to a sloping field in the northeast of the village, facing the heights and facing the water with his back.And Yao Yuanfu, as he said before the battle, personally wielded the knife, commanded the killing of the enemy, boosted morale, waited for reinforcements, and firmly withstood the enemy several times.

Li Tinggui's central army was stationed in the village. When they climbed up and looked out, they could hear the sound of killing, and they could feel the intensity of the fighting from a long distance away.

"Recruit envoys, General He has led the army, surrounded the Han army infantry six miles away, and is attacking and killing them!" The army cavalry came to report.

"Okay!" Li Tinggui couldn't help clapping his palms, and he lost his composure rarely. Since the Northern Expedition, he had been too aggrieved in the battle, and said with a smile: "These Han troops are too arrogant. With such a small number of troops, they dare to rush in and chase after them." Me! I must teach them a profound lesson today!"

"Recruit envoys, this place is too close to Baoji, if you hear about the change, there will be reinforcements coming from the south!" The general under his command reminded.

Hearing this, Li Tinggui directly ordered: "Send the order, attack and kill the Han army with all your strength, end the battle as soon as possible, and wipe out all of them before the reinforcements of the Han army arrive."

"The Han army has nothing to rely on. I will attack it with several times the army and see how it can block it!" Li Tinggui's tone revealed something called self-confidence.
