Great Military Division

Chapter 264 Raid on Zhang Miao's Camp!Taoyuan Sanji, show off its prowess!

Yu County.

The second floor of the post house.

On the east side, the fourth room.

Squeak-!
Liu Bei pushed the door open, glanced at all the heroes in the room, hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm late, I hope you can forgive me."

"Where, it's not too late."

Cheng Li hastily got up to greet him, waved his hand to signal him to sit aside, and then returned to the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone: "Since all parties are here, let's start."

"but."

With a smile on his face, Cheng Li said softly: "Before starting tonight's discussion, let's introduce ourselves first, so that you can get to know each other better."

"How about this."

Cheng Li took the lead and said: "Let's start with Cheng, and then Cheng Li, a man from Dong'a in Yanzhou Dongjun, has twenty servants under his command, all of whom are skilled in bows and horses, and can fight."

Immediately.

Cheng Li turned to look at the man beside him: "Gongtai, it's your turn."

Chen Gong nodded, stood up and bowed to the crowd: "In Xia Chengong, people from Dongwuyang, Dongjun, have twenty servants under his command, all of whom are skilled in bows and horses, and can fight."

Immediately afterwards, the burly man beside him got up, clasped his hands and clasped his fists: "Xia Panzhang, a native of Fagan County, Dongjun County, wanted to go south to avoid disaster, but met Zhongde on the way, chatted with each other, and followed him to Nanyang .”

"I'm waiting for a group of seven brothers to prepare our own bows and horses, so we can fight."

After saying that, Pan Zhang sat down, nodded, motioned to the man beside him and said, "Brother, it's your turn."

The man at the side stood up immediately, bowed his hands towards the crowd, and said sonorously, "Dongxia Liang, a native of Ningling, Liangguo, Yuzhou, has ten servants, who can fight for you."

"Ding Tao Ranger Qi Feng."

"Below."

"."

Soon.

Then it was Liu Bei's turn, he stood up and cupped his hands, and said calmly: "My subordinate Liu Bei, whose name is Xuande, is a member of Zhuojun County, Youzhou. Four people under his command can fight."

"it is good."

Cheng Li waved his hand to signal Liu Bei to sit down, and then told his attendants: "Hang up the sketch I drew."

The attendant bowed and cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

The attendant walked aside, took out the silk painting from the table, hung it on the wooden stand, and moved it in front of everyone.

Cheng Li got up and came to the side of the silk painting, and said softly: "This is a sketch drawn after I sent people to investigate. This is Yanling, and this is Zhang Miao's camp. There are currently about six thousand troops."

"Judging from the current situation of the enemy and ourselves, Zhang Miao's troops have been assembled, and he will launch an attack on Yanling tomorrow. As far as I know, Cao Cao is still fighting Yuan Shu in Yan County, and it is difficult to rush to rescue in a short time."

"Since everyone wants to travel westward to Nanyang and seek refuge with His Royal Highness King Hongnong, then this battle will be a very good opportunity for us to advance, and I hope that you can work together to protect Yanling. "

Although Liu Bei chose to go west and rush to Nanyang to try his luck, he really had no connections. Even if he arrived in Nanyang, he was just blind and might not be able to be reused.

This is the biggest difficulty of this trip to Nanyang.

You know, since Liu Bei started his army, he has traveled all over the world, served as a lieutenant of Anxi County, a magistrate of Xiami County, and later served as a captain of Gaotang and Ling of Gaotang, all of whom were minor officials.

A large part of the reason is that he has no connections, can only work hard, and it is difficult to get promoted. The reason why he wants to seek refuge with his classmate and friend Gongsun Zan, in the final analysis, is because of connections.

Unfortunately.
At the beginning, when my mind was hot, I got up and went straight to Nanyang.

But the worry of having no way out was always in his mind and couldn't get rid of it.

At this moment, listening to what Cheng Li said, Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened, and his fighting spirit instantly became full.

If he could make a contribution in this battle, wouldn't it be a great help to King Hongnong? Once the other party ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he would definitely be rewarded for his merits, so he might be able to get an official position, but it might not be.

Everyone also understood Cheng Li's meaning, and immediately echoed:
"Zhongde, tell me, what we should do is up to you."

"That's right, we will do whatever you want us to do."

"At present, we are in the dark, and the enemy is in the open. We still have some advantages."

"We are like an army of surprise soldiers. As long as the timing is right, we will have miraculous effects."

"Then Cao Cao performed well when he was asking for Dong. He is definitely not an easy person. We can fight."

"."

Have to admit.

Those who dare to join Hongnong King Liu Bian are all capable people.

Although the babbling remarks this time sound complicated, none of them are vulgar and eloquent.

Working with these people, Liu Bei felt at ease. Although the number of troops is small, it may not be invincible, especially Dong'a Chengli. When the Yellow Turbans ravaged Yanzhou, he showed extraordinary wisdom, which is even more admirable.

Liu Bei was very low-key, sitting quietly and listening.

Cheng Li nodded slowly, very satisfied with everyone's reaction: "Okay! Then Cheng will boldly talk about the strategy. If there are any deficiencies, I hope you can correct me."

Immediately.

Cheng Li went straight to the topic, and said loudly: "According to what Cheng learned, after King Hongnong returned to Nanyang, he released the news that he will return to the palace five days later and become the emperor."

"Calculating the days, tomorrow is the day when he enthrones and proclaims himself emperor. Yuan Shu's attack this time will naturally be dealt with by Cao Cao. However, in the battle of Yanling, Xia Houyuan's army of less than a thousand men alone may be defeated in less than half a day." Break through."

At this moment, Pan Zhang clasped his fists below: "Dare to ask Zhong De, how do you know that Zhang Miao will attack Yanling tomorrow? If he doesn't attack, won't we be in vain?"

"It's simple."

Cheng Li was clearly prepared, and he answered fluently: "Because if we don't attack tomorrow, Cao Cao will defeat Yuan Shu and lead troops to help Yanling. At that time, no matter how many troops Zhang Miao has in his hands, it will be useless."

"Since he has spent a lot of time gathering the army, he will never do it hastily. Therefore, tomorrow is Zhang Miao's last chance. He will definitely attack Yanling by force, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

Chen Gong followed and said: "Not only that, according to our latest information, Zhang Miao's battalion has ordered some soldiers and horses to rush forward with food and grass, and the soldiers of all armies are also packing their bags and getting ready to go at any time."

"Look at it from this."

Chen Gong said with absolute certainty: "A battle tomorrow is inevitable."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei also nodded.

This is consistent with the information he has learned.

Cheng Li saw that there was no objection from the crowd, so he continued: "The strategy I have drawn up is this. After Zhang Miao leads the army to leave, I will wait for the soldiers to leave Yu County, cross Fugou on Qingqi, and go straight to Yanling."

"Our army is no more than a hundred riders, so we can't fight head-on with them. We should take advantage of Zhang Miao's fierce battle against Yanling, strike from behind, raid the camp, burn their food and grass, and make the bandits collapse without fighting. This is victory."

"Of course!"

Cheng Li emphasized: "According to Zhang Miao's military habits, even if the army is led away, there will still be soldiers and horses stationed in the battalion. Presumably there will be no less than three to four hundred people."

"The opponent sticks to the big camp and has a geographical advantage. Although our army is elite, we must not underestimate the opponent. We must do our best to win."

Although the strategy is simple, it is extremely operable.

In this regard, Liu Bei deeply agrees.

In this battle, they did not intend to defeat Zhang Miao, but to protect Yanling.

As long as you can burn the opponent's food and grass, you will win a big victory!

The strategic positioning is very clear.

"Do you have any comments?"

After Cheng Li finished speaking briefly, his eyes turned to everyone.

"."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

With that said, no comments.

"very good."

Cheng Li nodded and nodded, and said: "In that case, all heroes, go back to your room and rest. When the curfew is lifted tomorrow, set off immediately. There must be no mistakes."

Everyone cupped their hands together: "Here."

Immediately.

They got up, left the room, and went back to rest.

Liu Bei returned to his room and informed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of tomorrow's battle plan.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, nodded and nodded: "Although this strategy is simple, it is extremely feasible. Although we only have a hundred cavalry, we are elite soldiers, not comparable to the soldiers left behind in Zhang Miao's camp."

"That's right!"

Zhang Fei nodded affirmatively, and a fierce fighting intent was already flashing in his eyes: "If this battle can burn the thieves' food and grass, it will definitely attract the attention of the Yanling guards. How can Cao Cao not play the new emperor? I will use this as a way to promote myself." posture."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Fei looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and couldn't help but praise: "This Cheng Li really has two talents, he can take care of all aspects, he can be called a brilliant planner."

Even Liu Bei himself could not help but nod in praise: "That's right, Zhong De is indeed resourceful!"

On the side, Jian Yong chuckled lightly: "Let me just say, we should go west. The new dynasty has just been established, and it's time to employ people. With our talents, how can we not have a foothold?"

"Lord!"

Jian Yong bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate has a hunch that this time we will be able to make a fortune this time, and we will no longer be enraged by the birds."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh of relief: "I hope so! Well, it's getting late, let's rest. We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning and recharge our energy before we can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

The three of them clasped their hands together: "Here."

Immediately.

Liu Bei went to bed.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong slept on the floor.

The next morning.

Yu County has just lifted the curfew.

Cheng Li led the crowd out of the city one after another, Qingqi went straight to Yanling.

In two hours, they crossed Fugou County.

In just three hours, they arrived at the border between Chenliu and Yingchuan.

Choose a hidden place to hide.

Cheng Li sent out his servants to inquire about the news.

a long time.

"Report—!"

The servant returned quickly, stepped forward, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "My lord, we have found out the situation."

Cheng Lioh gave a pleasant surprise: "Tell me quickly."

The servant nodded and nodded: "Zhang Miao set up his camp on Leling Hill, about five miles away from here. There is a river flowing beside it. It is easy to get water, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Although Yanling County is located on a plain, there are still some uplifted slopes in the territory. Lelinggang is one of them. It is not far from Yanling County, which is very suitable for camping.

"Sure enough."

Cheng Li seemed to have expected it long ago, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Zhang Miao placed the camp here, which really made it difficult for them to attack.

Although Leling Hill is just a slope of dirt, and the slope is not too steep, as long as the cavalry is in the state of upward attack, there are many difficulties, and it is easy to become a living target for the soldiers and horses in the camp.

but
If they gave up the horses and chose to fight on foot, they would probably be exposed before they even got to the front, and the opponent would definitely wait for work at leisure, and with the advantage in troops, it would be extremely difficult for them to make a successful surprise attack.

Chen Gong on the side frowned: "Zhongde, if you want to succeed in this battle, you must have a strong general to take the lead."

Cheng Li sighed and glanced at the crowd: "Who is willing to be the vanguard of the army?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Bei stood up and said, "Bei is willing to be the pioneer."

"it is good."

Cheng Li was overjoyed, he nodded to Liu Bei, and said sonorously: "If this battle can be accomplished, Xuande will be the first."

Liu Bei interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said softly: "Let's not mention the credit for now, but Bei only has three brothers, and still needs someone to help."

Cheng Li immediately said: "I have 20 attendants who can help Xuande."

Liu Bei nodded: "That's great, I don't know when I will go out to fight?"

Cheng Li thought for a moment: "It won't be too late to fight again when the news comes back from Yanling County."

"can."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Since that's the case, Bei will go down to prepare for one or two, but when it's time for the battle, Zhong De will send someone to call me to come."

Cheng Li nodded: "Okay, no problem."

continue waiting.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Report—!"

Ahead, another servant came back on horseback, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My lord, Zhang Miao has launched an attack on Yanling, just as you expected, surrounded by three and missing one, and concealed an ambush."

Cheng Li nodded and nodded: "Okay! Call people back quickly, there is an important combat mission."

The servant cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

The servants who had been scattered returned one after another.

Cheng Li handed it all over to Liu Bei's command, clasped his hands together and said, "Xuande, please."

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, just leave it to Yubei."

Cheng Li patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, as long as you can break through the camp gate, we will rush to support you in no time. If you haven't broken the gate within half an hour, don't hesitate to return quickly. Zhang Miao will definitely send someone Back to help."

"rest assured."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed firmly, and he said sonorously, "With our brothers waiting, we will surely win this battle."

Cheng Li smiled lightly and nodded: "In that case, I will ask Brother Xuande."

Liu Bei nodded and responded.

immediately.

He got on his horse and shouted sharply: "Let's go."

drive-!
More than twenty riders rolled up the smoke and dust, and left like a strong wind.

Cheng Li couldn't help but praised: "If the clan of the Han family were all like Xuande, how could I have ended up in such a state today."

Chen Gong beside him couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, there are very few people with clansmen like Xuande in the Han family! Zhongde, let's not waste time, hurry up and organize the army, and rush to Lelinggang."

Cheng Li nodded: "OK."

*****
now.

Zhang Miao's camp.

The soldiers guarding the camp gate are chatting:
"It's pitiful, everyone else is eating meat, but we are staying behind."

"Hey, if this goes on, when will we be promoted?"

"Why do you care so much? As long as there is something to eat, I am a soldier just to have something to eat."

"That's right. It's better to stay in the camp. It's not dangerous to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

"Hmph! A bunch of worthless things."

"Are you promising? Aren't you still a pawn?"

"."

When everyone was chatting one after another.

suddenly.

The soldier in charge of guarding the camp gate turned his head to look outside.

At the end of the field of vision, a torrent of smoke and dust rolled in.

"This"

"This is."

In an instant, the soldiers stared like bells, feeling fear in their hearts.

The soldiers around turned their heads to look:

"Huh? Could it be."

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

"That's right!"

Someone said with great certainty: "It's the enemy's attack! Hurry up, beat the drums as a warning, notify the military marquis, and organize resistance. We are on the post, we have the advantage of location, and we can completely defend it."

"Good good!"

The man hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Immediately.

The golden drum resounded.

Zhang Miao's camp immediately became alert.

A general rushed out of the camp, with a burly figure and a swollen face: "What's going on?"

A soldier came to report: "Report to the Marquis, someone is attacking."

"Enemy attack?"

The burly military marquis was stunned upon hearing this.

But it was only for a moment, and then he calmed down: "Damn it! Who dares to break into the camp guarded by my Ma Kui, call all the soldiers, and gather at the gate of the camp."

The soldier ordered: "Here."

"brothers!"

"Quick, gather at the gate of the camp."

Ma Kui went into battle with a gun, went straight to the gate of the camp, and stared.

but see
Smoke and dust rolled in, and dozens of riders were galloping towards the gate of the camp.

Ma Kui was stunned and didn't take it seriously: "With less than fifty cavalry, how dare you trespass into our camp? It's beyond your control. Brothers, get your bows and arrows ready, follow orders, and shoot them at any time."

"Here."

Originally, these soldiers were a little panicked.

But who would have thought that the group of soldiers and horses who came to attack the camp was actually less than fifty cavalry.

You must know that although the camp is empty, there are still nearly 400 people, which is twenty times the number of the opponent's troops. Even if this cavalry is an elite cavalry, and each of them can stand up to ten, it is impossible to win.

Like this, what is there to be afraid of?

In an instant.

All the officers and men were full of confidence, and each of them was fighting fiercely, wishing to kill him now.

Although Ma Kui was very confident, since the opponent came, he must rely on him, so he did not dare to underestimate him, and did not directly order the soldiers to rush out to fight fiercely with him.

Instead, keep your eyes on the battlefield, always judging the opponent's distance from the camp gate.

Come closer!
A little closer!
A little closer!
Ma Kui slowly raised his arm, and ordered sonorously: "The crossbowmen are ready."

All the soldiers twirled their bows and set their arrows together, and raised them up to the sky, stretching the full moon.

next second.

Soldiers and horses outside the camp stepped into the range of bows and crossbows.

Without hesitation, Ma Kui lowered his arm suddenly: "Shoot the arrow!"

In an instant, all the soldiers loosened their fingers hooked to the bowstring, one by one arrows suddenly rose into the air, gathered in the air, and immediately covered the soldiers and horses outside the camp like a torrential rain.

Although the positions of the cavalry outside the battalion were scattered, such a dense rain of arrows still caused some cavalry to overturn and fall under their horses, dying on the spot.

but
The soldiers and horses were all elite, under a wave of arrows, only two or three cavalrymen were killed. The strong man in the front holding the snake spear even danced the snake spear with unabated speed, like lightning, Come on Cyclonus.

"It really is an elite!"

Even Ma Kui himself was shocked by it.

He made a decisive decision and said sharply: "Bowmen, get ready to shoot."

In an instant.

All the soldiers twisted their bows and set their arrows, and stretched them again.

It's just that this time they didn't lift to the sky, but aimed at the approaching cavalry.

"Fire arrows."

One command.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A row of arrows whizzed out, and hit Liu Guanzhang who was attacking head-on without any fancy.

The first fierce general, with his eyes staring like a bell, swiped his snake spear with lightning speed to push aside the incoming arrows in an instant, followed by another swipe of his backhand, blocking all the arrows .

"kill-!"

This roar.

It really sounded like thunder, and the soldiers in the battalion were so frightened that their souls flew out of their wits. They all showed horrified expressions, and many of them even trembled subconsciously, trembling like chaff.

In the blink of an eye.

Zhang Fei rushed to the gate of the camp, and the snake spear in his palm stabbed obliquely, and the dangerous snake spear spit out a message like a poisonous snake.

follow.

Zhang Fei stretched his muscles in both hands, and at the same time he yanked the snake spear violently, and at the same time he lifted his arms upwards vigorously, and at the same time as he threw the snake spear flying on the enemy's corpse, the spear shaft hit the crossbar behind the camp gate.

Leng Leng!
The huge crossbar was lifted to a height visible to the naked eye by Zhang Fei alone.

If he was allowed to keep lifting, the crossbar would definitely lose its balance. As a result, the gate of the camp would be opened, and the cavalry from the other side would enter. For the soldiers and horses in the camp, it would definitely usher in a brutal massacre!

"not good!"

Ma Kui chewed to himself, and ordered clangingly: "Spearman, stab this thief to death!"

In an instant, more than ten spears aimed at Zhang Fei outside the camp, making a gesture to knock him to the ground this time.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
At the same time, two divine arrows passed by Zhang Fei's side, and two spearmen arrived in response.

But compared to the number of spearmen in the battalion, this is of no effect at all. There are still seven or eight spears roaring at Zhang Fei, four or five spears go straight for the horses, and some attack Commander.

This is the basic routine of defending the enemy with a spear.

"Damn!"

Zhang Fei secretly chewed.

Without hesitation, he drew his spear back, and while pulling the horse to dodge, his body leaned sharply on the horse.

Hee woo hoo-!
Sitting down, the war horse raised its head and neighed.

Sen Leng's spear flew past an inch from his neck.

If Zhang Fei's Snake Spear hadn't returned to the defense quickly and pushed it away, the spear's attack might even hurt him.

"Wide be careful!"

With a cry, Guan Yu was killed with red face and long beard.

He swung the spear in his palm and helped Zhang Fei stop several spears from attacking. At the same time, he stretched out his ape arms and easily held the three spears stabbing from another direction under his ribs.

With a jerk!
The spearman in the battalion fell forward and smashed several soldiers in front of him on the camp gate, creaking and twisting, and the camp gate shook, which immediately made Guan Yu's eyes light up.

The gate of the opponent's camp was not stable.

He glanced down.

It was only then that Guan Yu discovered that although the Leling Hill was a slope, the soil was relatively loose and less stable.

Unless the pillars of the fence gate of this camp can penetrate very deep into the soil, otherwise the overall firmness cannot be guaranteed.

This situation is normal in Yanling County!
Because Yanling County belongs to the hinterland of the plain formed by the erosion of river water, these uplifted mounds in the plain are not natural mounds, but formed by long-term accumulation of soil, and their stability is naturally slightly poor.

"Wide!"

Without hesitation, Guan Yu said sonorously: "This method should be used to break the door!"

Zhang Fei also discovered this: "Okay."

Immediately!

He swung the snake spear and stabbed the two of them to death.

At the same time, he yanked backwards, and all the soldiers in the battalion slammed into the gate.

Squeak!
The gate shook violently.

Guan Yu's spear immediately thrust out, and continued like this.

The unrestored gate immediately tilted into an arc visible to the naked eye.

"Brothers, break the door!"

Liu Bei who came after him shouted sharply.

In an instant.

More than a dozen cavalry rushed up, hooked the gate with spears in their hands, and pulled back violently.

The gate fell to the ground, revealing a battalion full of soldiers.
