My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 373

On the south bank of the Yellow River, in the barracks of the Chu army.

Lu Meng was not sleeping in his armor, he often did this these days, at most he just took a nap occasionally, because he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely not let it go, he was definitely thinking about how to cross the river.

And there are less than 4000 people left under his command,

Although he sent many scouts, he was still worried.

At three o'clock, the night was silent.

Lu Meng opened the tent. In the simple camp, apart from the soldiers standing guard in twos and twos, the only thing that could be heard was the crackling and burning bonfire in the brazier, swaying and dancing in the darkness of night.

Lu Meng took a deep breath, took out the remaining strong wine and drank it. Although drinking is not allowed during the march, the night is cold and he drives away the cold.

However, he hadn't had a few sips before he looked over at the sound of horse hooves under the night, and saw that the scouts he had sent were running towards him.

"Report~, General Qi, thirty miles to the west, a large-scale Yuan army was found fighting for crossing." The scout got off his horse and shouted anxiously.

Hearing this, Lu Meng frowned, not surprised, but with a bit of fatigue, Yuan Jun really came, got up immediately and said: "Come on, the whole army is assembled!"

After the words fell, the military order to assemble sounded in the camp.

Everyone used the fastest speed to complete the assembly. They knew that Yuan Jun must be here again.

In the camp, not for a while.

Lu Meng looked at the crowd, none of them spoke, but their silence also told Lu Meng that they were ready, sacrificed, and prepared to fight to the death.

This time, Lu Meng didn't say much,

Put away all the words that were prepared to boost morale, because he knew that these soldiers might not need encouragement, they were all the bravest fighters, bar none.

In the end, all the prepared words turned into a few words,
"The first battalion stays, and the second, third, and fourth battalions listen to the order and set off!" After speaking, Lu Meng got on his horse. The first battalion was reorganized later, and it was fully staffed, but most of them were slightly wounded, and there were even many seriously wounded.

"No!" Everyone shouted.

In this battle, they no longer have the idea of ​​winning,
The weapons in their hands have been changed several times, and now more than half belong to Yuan Jun. If they hadn't won the battle in the daytime, there would probably be fewer bows and arrows, but they still couldn't wear down their will to fight.

----

On the west side, more than 30 miles away.

Lv Meng led the army carefully along the way, when he arrived in the dark, he did see many people from Yuan's army fighting for the crossing.

They fled in all directions, not daring to fight at all.

Seeing this, Lu Meng frowned.

"General, Yuan Jun has fled, chase or not!"

The lieutenant was a little depressed, thinking that these people ran away when they met because they were afraid of them.

"Don't chase the poor!" Lu Meng raised his hand and led the people close to the river bank. Under the light of the torch, Lu Meng carefully observed the condition of the river bank. There was no trace of the soil being laid, and he fell into deep thought immediately.

There was no arrangement, which meant that Yuan Jun here was not prepared to fight to the death, as if he knew they would come, and had no intention of resisting at all, as if he was waiting for him to come and slipped away.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng's pupils shrank suddenly.

The iron fist was clenched for an instant, and he said coldly: "I've been fooled!"

"General, what's the matter?" The lieutenant was surprised.

"Yuan Jun didn't intend to cross the river here at all. The reason why he made a big fanfare is probably to let us come here so that we can cross the river elsewhere!" Lu Meng said fiercely.

"Damn it!" Lu Meng was a little annoyed, he hated himself for not guessing in advance.

But this can't be helped, the force is limited, and he has no capital to try and make mistakes by combining reality and fiction. In other words, even if Yuan Jun doesn't make a fuss, as long as he lands on more beaches, he can't do anything about it.

"This, that general, what should we do now!" The lieutenant frowned, a little at a loss.

"Yuan Jun evaded the battle and went west to cross the river. I am afraid that tomorrow morning we will be able to reach the south bank on a large scale, and tomorrow evening we will be able to cross the Yellow River on a large scale. Our camp will be pulled out early in the morning."

Lu Meng frowned and analyzed.

"General, why don't we find other crossing points and defeat them in one fell swoop!" A deputy general gritted his teeth and said with a bit of anger.

"It's too late. The soldiers are already exhausted after running for thirty miles. Since Yuan Jun is attacking east and west, there is a high probability that another crossing point will be on the east side. The distance between the two is at least sixty miles."

"Even if the soldiers run wildly, it will already be dawn when they arrive. By that time, the enemy army will have crossed the river in a large scale. It will be easy to kill our exhausted troops." Lu Meng waved his hand, and Yuan Jun's crossing the river was a foregone conclusion.

It is only to blame that the navy is stuck downstream,

It's only because Yuan Jun has too many troops!

"General, what should we do now?" The deputy general asked anxiously, it would be fine if they fought to the death, but now they are not given the chance to fight to the death at all.

"The whole army retreated back to the camp. Leave a flag here so that Yuan Jun will not dare to cross the river without authorization," Lu Meng said in a deep voice, and immediately said: "Also, let the brothers in the camp be more vigilant and repair the fortifications."

"I'm afraid Yuan Jun will launch an attack the next morning at the latest."

Lu Meng's expression was serious, he guessed Yuan Jun's movements very accurately, but he didn't want to withdraw, nor did he want to withdraw.

Although withdrawing to Puyang for the time being is the best choice, but as a general, it is a disgrace for him to let the enemy army cross the border. If he retreats without a fight, it is another kind of disgrace.

He, Lu Meng, was so proud, how could he bear this kind of shame.

Immediately, the 3000 people began to retreat, but the news conveyed by Lu Meng was that Yuan Jun was afraid, and the army fled in a rout, and the whole army returned to the camp for repairs.

On the east side, hundreds of small boats fought back and forth.

It was Yuan Jun who was commanded by Han Meng. After Lu Meng set off, he began to fight for crossing.

One 2000 people at a time, the key point is that it takes too long to go back and forth, and it takes more than half an hour to transport them. Seeing that the sky is getting brighter and there are more and more soldiers and horses on the other side, Han Meng is gradually relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Yuan Jun already has nearly ten thousand people ready to go.

This time, Yuan Shao didn't dare to advance rashly. He listened to Xu You's words and fought steadily, letting these soldiers guard against the Chu army. At the same time, he quickly built a ferry village and camp on the river bank.

Make sure they can cross the river smoothly next time.

As for the offense, don't worry about it, everything will be fine when it's done here.

Lu Meng knew the news that Yuan Jun was fighting for the crossing on the east side in the middle of the night yesterday, but he was helpless. By daytime, he knew that Yuan Jun's approximately ten thousand people had already crossed the river.

He acted as if he didn't know, and ordered the soldiers and horses in the camp to collect rolling logs and stones everywhere, and at the same time reinforce the camp. No matter what, he would stick to it until Chu Feng arrived. As one of the commanders of the eight major armies of the Chu Army, he must not embarrass Chu Feng.

During the day, Yuan Jun crossed the river faster.

One is that the daytime view is better, and the transportation efficiency is faster. The other is that all the ships on the west side have gathered, and the transportation capacity has been increased, so that Yuan Jun can reach at least 40,000 people on the other side throughout the day.

For a time, Yuan Jun already had 50,000 people cross the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao even visited the front camp in person, and he will personally command.

At dusk, in the newly built camp.

Yuan Shao looked at the people in the hall with a smile on his face, instantly full of pride.

"A mere Lu Meng, you can confuse me with a little trick. It is said that there are only 4000 people left under this man's command, and now our army has [-] troops on the south bank. A mere camp can't stop our army."

"Tonight, Wuhuan Xiongnu soldiers will be the main ones, and tomorrow we will transport horses. As for Lu Meng, is there any general who is willing to lead his army to defeat him and win the first prize?" Yuan Shao asked after glancing at the generals.

The generals hesitated a little, Han Meng gritted his teeth when he saw this, and immediately said: "My lord, at the end I am willing to behead Lu Meng for my lord."

"Okay, how many soldiers and horses are needed to break through the enemy's camp?" Yuan Shaolang laughed and shouted.

"Forty thousand!" Han Meng clasped his fists and said.

Yuan Shao: "???"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, my good fellow, what the hell is using 4000 people for a camp of three 40,000 people?Those who didn't know thought they were fighting Luoyang!

"My lord, General Han's troops are prudent, but the [-] troops are ten times larger than the enemy's. It will definitely make the Chu army terrified." Guo Tu said quickly, he wanted to win over Han Meng for Yuan Tan.

Anyway, Han Meng is now Yuan Jun's number one general.

"Alright, ten times as strong as the enemy, Lu Meng will be scared out of his wits." Yuan Shao finally nodded.

The generals regretted that 40,000 people attacked a small camp, which was completely easy, and now it was intercepted by Han Meng.

"Han Meng, 40,000 people, ten times more than the enemy, how long will it take for Lu Meng's leader to see me?" Yuan Shao said in a thick voice, looking at Han Meng.

"Three days, within three days, Lu Meng will be guaranteed to be killed at the end, a complete shame!" Han Meng clenched his fists and said viciously.

"Hmph, 40,000 people still need three days? If so, what's the use of you? I'll give you one day, regardless of the cost, to take down the enemy's camp before tomorrow's sunset, or I'll make you look good!"

Yuan Shao didn't want to lose face many times,
The camp in the wild has no defensive ability, ten times the strength, it is completely crushing.

"Promise!" Han Meng gritted his teeth and replied, he could only say his best, but thinking of Chu Jun's fierce appearance, Han Meng shuddered a little, and he felt that he might not be able to take it down for a day.

"Okay, let's continue to search for ships, and strive to have [-] cavalry cross the Yellow River before tomorrow evening. We don't have much time left. Chu Feng has already led his troops over."

Yuan Shao's expression was serious. The scouts had detected that Chu Feng was leading his troops. To be honest, Yuan Shao still had some shadows. The main thing was that Chu Feng did have something, which was outrageously strong.

"Yuan Gong, [-] iron cavalry is enough, so as long as Chu Feng dares to come, I will tell him to come and go, which happens to save us from going deep into the enemy's territory." The Xiongnu King Hu Chuquan laughed loudly.

I saw that Huchu Quansheng was tall and mighty, and he looked braver by no means weaker than Tadun.

You must know that whether it is the Xiongnu or the Wuhuan, one is the respect of the strong, and the other is blood inheritance, and the two are indispensable.

Ta Dun also nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan is worrying too much. Chu Feng has less than [-] cavalry. With just this few soldiers and horses, in this plain, we kill them like chickens."

"That's right, we warriors of the grassland, all of us are superb riders, and the swords in our hands are stained with the blood of countless people, the Chu army is not worth mentioning!" Hu Chuquan Lang Xiao didn't take Chu Feng seriously at all.

The main reason is that the two of them are of different races, and they seem to have never dealt with Chu Feng.

Only Wuhuan hadn't been head-to-head when they dealt with each other earlier. What's more, they had assembled hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and with a gap of more than ten times, even an idiot could easily kill Chu Feng.

Thinking of this, the two became more confident.

"Hehe, if there are two leaders, I can rest assured." Yuan Shao stroked his beard with a bit of politeness. Whether he can defeat Chu Feng depends on the performance of Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

However, although Chu Feng is strong, it is somewhat difficult to compete with foreign iron cavalry in the plains.

"Hehe, Mr. Yuan is being polite, but I still hope that Mr. Yuan will keep his promise. After taking down Chu Feng, don't forget the territory he promised us. The reason why the leaders of the tribes give troops is for this reason."

Tadun smiled lightly and exhorted,
Hu Chuquan also grinned and showed his yellow teeth, they were doing it for profit, if Yuan Shao didn't give it to them, they would turn their backs whenever they said they would.

"Of course I won't break my promise. As long as I can defeat Chu Feng, I can occupy the world. So why not cede Youzhou and Bingzhou to you? At that time, the world will not be up to us?"

Yuan Shaolang smiled, but there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

These two people disrespected him less and less, mainly because the troops under his command lost successively, which made them feel that they had to rely on them, which made Yuan Shao very upset.

When Chu Feng was really going to be wiped out, he would kill the two of them with his own hands.

However, not yet.

The three of them had their own ghosts and laughed loudly.

-

The next day, Yuan Jun crossed the river with 20,000 people.

These 20,000 people are all alien cavalry. When the day comes, they will use all their strength to transport the horses. The speed of transporting the horses across the river is very slow, which is one of the reasons why the horses are garbage in the south.

After all, the southern water system is densely covered, and there is no way to expand it.

Of course, the fact that there are many hills in the south is also one of the main factors.

At the same time, Yuan's army moved, [-] troops assembled, and they approached the Chu army's camp in a mighty manner. Because of the first battle, Yuan Shao even boarded the car to supervise the battle. He wanted to see the Chu army's desperate appearance with his own eyes!
On the chariot, Yuan Shao looked majestic.

After a defeat last time, he finally came back again.

What he lost last time, he wants to get it all back!

But in the camp, the four thousand Chu troops remained indifferent.

Standing at the head of the village, Lu Meng stared closely at Yuan Jun who was approaching in the distance, "Finally here, you really think highly of me, and even sent 40,000 people over, ten times the strength."

None of the lieutenants spoke.

There was fear in their hearts, that was instinct, but they were able to overcome instinct and stand here with Lu Meng, or in other words, those who can stand here today are all heroes and warriors.

With ten times the strength, there is no chance of winning at any time.

In particular, this is only a small number of Yuan Jun's strength. Yuan Jun and the foreign allied forces have a total of nearly 300,000. No matter how brave they are and how capable they are, they cannot be opponents of 300,000 Yuan Jun.

No one is going to talk about being afraid right now,
Instead, they reveal their longing for the future. They are thinking about their wives and children. They believe that their lives will get better and better in the future. The only pity is that

They may not be around anymore!
I just hope that God has eyes, and when they get to the sky, they can still see them.

"Tens of thousands of Yuan troops, ten times the strength of ours, are you afraid? Shout out if you are afraid!" Lu Meng shouted.

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

"In this battle, we don't want to win or lose, we just want to fight to the last man. From now on, if there are any officers and soldiers at all levels who dare to fight back, they will be killed and will not be tolerated!"

Lu Meng scolded, the whole army is determined to fight to the death.
