Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 399 Huang has fought all his life, this battle is unheard of
Because, this 5000-man cavalry corps bypassed Hanshui's defense line and rushed straight to Xinye City.

Zhang Liao's original plan was somewhat disrupted.

He was a little panicked.

This is too outrageous.

This cavalry is outrageous.

That Guan Lin is too outrageous!
"General Wen Yuan, don't panic." It happened that Zhao Yan, the military adviser in Fancheng, was also there, and he was also thinking about this matter while looking at the map.

After pondering for a moment, he tried to analyze, "Maybe it's a coincidence? It was Guan Lin who realized that our protection is bounded by the Baihe River, so he avoided the sharp edge and chose to bypass the Hanshui River from the Tang River, and then turn to the Baihe attacking upwards? And then...to rescue the Guan family soldiers in Xinye City!"

Zhao Yan's seemingly reliable analysis somewhat dissipated Zhang Liao's sense of panic.

call…

With a long breath, Zhang Liao didn't answer, but continued to look at the map, imagining the current position of the cavalry and the distance from Xinye City.

Zhao Yan went on to say, "From Tanghe to Baihe and then to Xinye City, even the cavalry had to march for a day and a night, but General Wenyuan had soldiers and horses in Chaoyang City and the 'Quewei Slope' behind Xinye. , this is just in case... now we can use these two soldiers and horses."

"After this cavalry has reached Xinye City, these two soldiers and horses will be able to fight out... to cut off the way back! This is also the siege and reinforcements planned by General Wen Yuan."

Zhao Yan's words always carry a magical power, which can relax the general's tense mood.

Zhang Liao said softly: "I know that this is a siege and aid, but Guan Jiashiro can avoid our army's defense line in Hanshui, and can take this road with the fewest ambushes for our army. This is really evil..."

Zhang Liao was still afraid of Guan Lin's "inexplicable" and "incredible" intelligence capabilities.

At this time, Zhao Yan walked two steps quickly, walked past the map, and walked to the sand table two steps away from the map. He pointed to several ambushes among them, "General Wen Yuan can mobilize these ambushes and let them move Occupy the main point of the ambush, intercept and kill this Jingzhou cavalry!"

While speaking, Zhao Yan pointed at three places: "In my opinion, these three places... can be set up in time, and even if the cavalry cannot be defeated, every ambush can peel off a layer of skin. Xinye City, how many people can there be in this cavalry? When they enter Xinye City, they only need General Pound to join forces with the defenders of 'Chaoyang City' and 'Quewei Slope' to encircle this cavalry. "

The more Zhao Yan spoke, the more serious his tone was, as if he had the whole situation in his hands.

Of course, as a counselor, Zhao Yan can only make suggestions, and Zhang Liao has the final decision-making power.

At this moment, Zhang Liao frowned in thought. After pondering for a long time, he made a final decision, "Da Wei has suffered too much from this Guan Lin, so don't underestimate this Guan Lin."

Speaking of which, while changing the deployment of the Wei army on the sand table, Zhang Liao ordered: "Mr. Zhao's suggestion just now is very good. I will immediately order to set up three ambushes along the way, and first take off a layer of skin from this cavalry. In addition... I will send out flying pigeons to let General Pound storm Xinye City to avoid long nights and dreams..."

Zhao Yan nodded, "Xinye City is just a group of remnants of the Guan family, and their food has run out. I guess they have been hungry for two days, what strength will they have? And the outer city is already crumbling, breaking Xinye City is easy..."

"That's right, if you capture Xinye City, you can set up an ambush and put all your troops into the ambush."

That being said, Zhang Liao still felt that the cavalry was a bit evil, and he didn't dare to be careless, "However, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, this general will send another [-] troops under General Xu Huang to help General Pound..."

This…

Zhao Yan was startled.

He didn't expect that with the coordinated defense of three ambushes, three armies, and more than 3 people, General Zhang Liao was still worried and wanted to send more troops there.

—— "General Wen Yuan is so afraid of this cavalry... no..."

——"General Wenyuan is afraid of Guan Jiashiro behind the cavalry, right? 』

Zhao Yan rolled his eyes, and immediately asked, "General Wen Yuan, what if General Xu Huang's [-] soldiers are transferred? Then... there are only [-] soldiers left for the defense at Yancheng, and there are no reliable generals." gone."

Zhang Liao had already expected that Zhao Yan would ask such a question, so he replied without hesitation: "So, I will give you another [-] recruits...you go to besiege Yancheng."

"Ah." Zhao Yan was startled, he didn't expect a heavy burden to fall on him all of a sudden, he hesitated, "I'm worried, if Guan Yu is attacking Yancheng at this time..."

"No!" Zhang Liao waved his hand, "That Guan family Silang is evil, but Guan Yu has no eyes, how could he know that there are more than 2 people in ambush in this company, how can he know that there are only [-] people in Yancheng? Besides..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, "Hehe, Yunchang...I know him well, if he doesn't attack the Guan family's camp first, then he won't be Guan Yunchang."

Listening to Zhang Liao's sworn words...

Zhao Yan gritted his teeth slightly, for some reason, the more sure General Zhang Liao became, the more worried he became.

...

...

The Baihe in the Tangbai River.

This river originates from Gongli Mountain in Baihe Township, flows through Songshan Mountain, Nanzhao City, Fangcheng, Wancheng, Wollongong...and finally Xinye County.

This mother river in the mouth of Nanyang people...

It has been famous for its many tributaries since ancient times.

Counting carefully, the entire tributary has reached a terrifying 29.

And this also provided the most secretive and safest environment for Huang Zhong's cavalry to go north.

Of course, this is relatively safe...

Because of Zhang Liao's deployment, the road today is also full of thorns, hidden swords and guns...

"Boom boom-"

The hooves of more than ten thousand horses resounded like thunder, like tigers roaring...

Each knight is dressed in armor, holding a spear, a halberd, and a longbow on his back, majestic and majestic.

Speaking of which, the horses in this cavalry team of more than 5000 people are all the horses Guan Lin can produce.

I don't know how many battles this is the spoils of war!
It was a war horse from the northern border that had been sold for a lot of "blood is not wet".

But only Huang Zhong...

His horse is a little different from the horses of ordinary soldiers. To be precise, it is not a horse... but a pair of "iron stirrups" under Huang Zhong's feet.

Because of the entire 5000-man cavalry team, only Huang Zhong stepped on the iron stirrup, and because it was not conspicuous, the army galloped for a while...no one would pay special attention.

Of course, this is also because stirrups actually appeared in the Han Dynasty, such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Huns, they would use unilateral stirrups, which are used for stepping on horses.

But the double-sided stirrup that Huang Zhong stepped on was the first time in this era that it was used on the battlefield.

As for... the origin of the double-sided stirrups was given to Huang Zhong by Guan Lin before his departure.

Huang Zhongyou remembered that early in the morning...he ordered his soldiers, and before he left, he was about to get on his horse.

Guan Lin's soldier, Martial God, mysteriously handed this to him...

And told him that this is called "stirrup", and briefly explained the method of use.

Of course, this iron stirrup... From the moment Huang Zhong stepped on it, he knew what it was for.

As Shi Wu mentioned, when riding on horseback, you need your legs to clamp the horse's belly, and the whole body has only the buttocks as a support point, so it is difficult to use strength and shoot far...

Balance and stability are not guaranteed when riding a horse.

嗏

With this iron stirrup, it is completely different.

Huang Zhong didn't feel anything at first, but after he hurried all the way and gradually got used to the stirrups, he would have a feeling...

This riding skill is not only a thousand miles a day?
In the past, one had to stand on the ground for the hundred-step piercing, but now... it seems that one can also do it on horseback.

This is tantamount to greatly enhancing the flexibility of long-range shooting!
At this moment, Huang Zhong, feeling the iron stirrup, especially recalled... the moment he stepped on the iron stirrup for the first time, he asked Shiwu in a low voice, "With such a good thing, why don't you give it to each of the soldiers?" Match a pair! Wouldn’t the fighting power be doubled like this?”

Shi Wu laughed when he heard this, "After I first saw the iron stirrup, I also asked Mr. Yunqi..."

"What did he say?" Huang Zhong was curious.

Shi Wu said patiently: "Yun Qi said that this iron stirrup is easy to manufacture, and you can know the method as long as you have a peep... But there are 10,000+ cavalry in the northern border, and how many cavalry are there in Jingzhou. After learning it, wouldn’t it help Cao Wei’s cavalry? Although this iron stirrup is good, it will do a lot of harm if it is exposed now. According to Mr. Yunqi, Jingzhou must have at least [-] cavalry before it can be equipped. Act on the battlefield!"

As Guan Lin mentioned...

The biggest function of iron stirrups is not only the balance and stability brought by the increase from one support point to three support points when riding a horse, but also the riding and shooting.

Before there were iron stirrups, cavalry and archery were exclusive to the barbarian. Among the Han people, only Baima Yicong could be proficient in cavalry and archery... This is also an extremely rare weapon among the Han people.

There are not many generals who can ride and shoot even recorded in history - Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Cao Ren, Lu Bu, Cao Zhang, Huang Zhong, Lu Su...

There are no more than twenty in total.

However, it is different with iron stirrups. Any cavalry can ride and shoot by stepping on the stirrups.

The increase in combat effectiveness here is simply impossible to measure.

Especially the improvement of the combat effectiveness of Cao Wei's cavalry made Guan Lin afraid.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the "iron stirrup" has been created by Mianshui Villa long ago, but it has always existed in Guan Lin's side and never came out.

This time... if it wasn't for the special and dangerous mission, Guan Lin would never have given it to Huang Zhong.

At this moment, Huang Zhong once again recalled the conversation with Shi Wu when he was leaving, and couldn't help feeling:
"This kid... is capable, knowledgeable, and extraordinary!"

Over here, Huang Zhong on land was still lamenting Guan Lin's simple but not simple invention.

On the other side, Liu Ye and Zhuge Ke were in rattan baskets in the sky, each holding a "thousand-mile watch" and observing the enemy troops along the way...

"Huh? Why is there an ambush there?"

Zhuge Ke exclaimed, his memory was very strong, he clearly remembered... In the deployment map drawn last night, there was no ambush in this place, and even the nearest ambush was a hill fifty miles away from this place.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush..." Liu Ye also noticed this ambush, "It seems to be the same as the ambush just now, Wei Jun got the news and changed the location of the ambush..."

Hearing this, Zhuge Ke immediately put down Qianli Wang, and threw down the two forged red silk tied in the rattan basket.

For a moment, two sections of linked red silk floated against the wind, appearing high in the sky.

Of course, this is the signal...

The red ribbon represents an ambush, and the two red silks of different sizes represent the true north direction.

Huang Zhong also noticed the hint given by the hot air balloon.

He reacted quickly, and directly ordered, "Go east, cross the White River to the other bank, and bypass the forest ahead,"

As soon as an order is issued, there are messengers to pass on the military order immediately.

"Explore the horse..." Huang Zhong ordered again, "Go to the north to investigate..."

"Here!"

The three fast horses quickly broke away from the main force, and headed north alone, towards the enemy's ambush.

At this time, another three fast horses caught up with the team, "General... I have checked a stone hillock, and there is indeed an ambush... If you pass in the direction of the nearby stone hillock, the crossbowmen on both sides will shoot ten thousand arrows, Our army is bound to suffer heavy losses!"

As soon as this remark came out, Huang Zhong blurted out subconsciously: "Really... amazing?"

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He didn't say anything more, but his heart was full of turmoil.

——"Huang has fought a battle all his life, and this battle is unheard of and unseen..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of Guan Lin and Huang Chengyan of the same clan.

He was even more shocked in his heart.

——『This kid from the Guan family is a god! 』

——"This old boy, this Mianshui Villa is amazing! 』

Speaking of this, he stomped heavily on the iron stirrups under his feet, feeling the "strength" that the stirrups responded to him. Inexplicably, Huang Zhong had two words in his heart - down-to-earth.

He couldn't help but freed up a hand to touch the big bow on his back...

just now…

Huang Zhong has already felt the magic of the iron stirrup;
Huang Zhong has benefited a lot from the amazing skills of hot air balloons;

The only thing missing is this weapon that Guan Lin calls the "Mongolian compound bow", hehe... Usually, when people say that they shoot with a god, it is a hundred-step piercer, but if this bow is a "hundred-step piercer", it seems a bit low-key!

Feeling the north wind today...

Although Huang Zhong is against the wind today, he can find the right angle, and he can also do it with the wind...

"Five hundred steps through Yang?"Can I shoot today? 』

As soon as this idea was born, Huang Zhong once again felt the response of the iron stirrup, and he looked up at the sky again. The ball flying high gave him a huge sense of security!
"Hehe..." Now, Huang Zhong smiled, and the question in his mind just now became an affirmative sentence in an instant. "Five hundred steps to cross Yang? It will definitely be achieved today—"

...

...

At noon, there is no cloud today, and the sun's rays shine on the earth.

In such an unremarkable weather, no Wei army soldier would be stupid enough to raise his eyes to observe the sun, and no soldier could lie lazily on the ground and bask in the sun.

In such a battlefield, where there is no concept of air force, hot air balloons... are not easy to be noticed.

Of course, even if someone looked up...

A hot air balloon high in the sky is nothing more than a point, an inexplicably moving round sphere.

Perhaps such a sphere would make people think of gods... praying, kneeling... But no one will connect this with Jingzhou and this battle.

Today's wind direction is just right, and the north wind is blowing... This saves the simple blowing device in the hot air balloon, and there is no need to deliberately adjust the direction.

"Sit down...I've already flown over Fancheng, I'm going to descend a bit."

Regardless of Huang Chengyan's age, at this moment he is very skillful in operating the hot air balloon, appearing extraordinarily professional.

Besides him, there are Xu Shu and Huang Yueying in the rattan basket.

Xu Shu came to carry out a mission to find Guan Yu, while Huang Yueying was worried about her father. More importantly, after she flew once, she wanted to try again.

This feeling of flying is amazing.

In the past, I only heard that Luban made a "flying kite", which can carry people to fly, but Huang Yueying tried for many years, but failed to reshape Luban's invention... Flying into the sky has also become an unattainable dream.

but now…

Flying, can fly at any time.

Xu Shu was a little dizzy. He didn't feel it before, but today he found that he was a little afraid of heights... Looking down from the sky, everything is a point.

But inexplicably, Xu Shu was worried... What if he fell down?
Seeing Xu Shu's appearance, Huang Chengyan smiled and said: "Shan Fu, you have killed people in the past, so you must be very courageous? How can you be so timid in this world?"

"Students are not timid... timid..." Xu Shu was shivering all over, "Students are just worried, worried..."

"What is Senior Brother Xu worried about?" Huang Yueying was much more courageous than him.

Xu Shu only felt ringing in his ears, and he swallowed, "The students are worried... what if we fall?"

But inexplicably, he found that after swallowing a mouthful of spit, the feeling of tinnitus disappeared.

"This thing... as long as it flies, it can't be pierced by arrows. It's nothing to be afraid of. As long as it doesn't run out of fuel, it won't fall." Huang Chengyan was still comforting his students, "I remember...you came here I am studying here, and the students in the same dormitory dislike you for being a thief before, and do not go with you in everything, but you get up the earliest every day, clean up by yourself, ask other people’s opinions first no matter what, study hard... that’s right , I remember that you have the best relationship with Shi Tao from the same county, like glue...he is also an official in the north, right?"

Huang Chengyan's words made Xu Shu feel more relaxed.

Recalling the glorious years of the past, it was still mentioned by the mentor...anyone will have a daydream...

Xu Shu, who was originally curled up, stood up. While looking outside the rattan basket, he said with emotion: "Yes, at that time there was Shi Tao, there was Kong Ming, there was Cui Zhouping, there was Shi Guangyuan, there was Meng Gongwei, and Mr. Huang, Mr. Shui Jing... Now that I want to come..."

Unknowingly, Xu Shu was not as scared as before.

With a "poof", Huang Yueying smiled...

It was only then that Xu Shu recalled that the master had taught him another lesson, teaching him how to transfer the fear in his heart.

Immediately, Xu Shu cupped his hands: "The student is being taught again..."

But Huang Chengyan, who was going to continue to enlighten Xu Shu, suddenly saw something.

"What is that? Why is it such a big piece of red?"

At this time, Huang Yueying followed her father's words, picked up Qianli Wang and looked over there, "It's the Guan family army... those are all Guan family troops in red armor... why are there so many people?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Shu quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at the ground, completely forgetting that he was flying in the sky, and also completely no longer worried about falling, what should I do?
really…

Over there... the mighty Guan family army with five to six thousand people is rushing northward.

"The red horse looks like a red rabbit, and the one riding him is probably Yun Chang?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth.

"Not good!" At this moment... Huang Yueying let out a cry, as if she suddenly recalled something.

Yes... it's the deployment map from last night's investigation...

"What?" Huang Chengyan asked his daughter.

For a moment, Huang Yueying gritted her teeth, "It's not good, General Guan and the Guan family army are rushing towards... the center of the Guan family army's hundred-mile coalition camp?"

"Could it be..." Xu Shu suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help frowning.

Huang Yueying's words came out one after another, "Last night, I saw that the center of the Baili coalition camp... there must be [-] soldiers in ambush? If...if General Guan attacked there, then...that must be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger! "
