Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 223 Nothing can happen to him

Huanshui is located in the southwest corner of the huge Zhangwei water system.

At this time, the boundary between Sili Xiaowei and Jizhou was roughly based on this river. This meant that the party occupying here not only had a natural line of defense, but could also use the river water to transport grain and grass, which was a decisive factor in winning or losing. .

Considering the value of Huan River, Yan Liang's headquarters stationed on the north bank of the river is very eye-catching.

If this group of enemies, who are both big and small, are left alone, the military movements in Yecheng will be made one-way transparent to Yuan Shao - although with the efforts of the two or five young men in the city to inform Yuan Shao, it was almost going to be one-way. Becoming transparent...

And more importantly, if this nail is not pulled out, the water transportation of Huanshui River may be cut off at any time, and the next counterattack will be impossible. Therefore, the task Xu Jiashu received is very simple, which is to remove all the people left in Wei County. The enemies all pushed down the Huan River.

As a newly recruited army, the opponent probably didn't know much about his own details. After receiving additional troops and logistics, Xu Jiashu chose to lead his army out immediately in an attempt to catch the enemy off guard.

When they advanced not far from the battle distance, the sky had darkened.

It's late spring and the wind is like a knife.

The enemy was in the open and we were in the dark. Xu Jiashu took advantage of the darkness to get closer to investigate, but he saw that Yuan's army camp was set up near the water. They were closely connected with each other and their laws were strict. Although it was still evening, the torches were already bright, and the patrol soldiers could be vaguely seen passing through.

Their fortifications were built extremely solidly and steadily, so that the opponent's first-mover advantage only lasted for a negligible period of time, before they suffered intensive counterattacks from the crossbowmen and were unable to advance any further.

Fight them head-on!

Friends who often travel to the Three Kingdoms can tell at a glance that the quality of the army in front of them is quite high.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Shao's direct troops are fully worthy of the four words "well-trained soldiers and sufficient food". In the case of a decisive battle with horses and horses, it is more than enough to crush the ordinary army. Except for a few elites, there are few There are opponents who can take advantage of them head-on.

"Stand ready, the crossbowmen are in position!"

Before figuring out his opponent, Yan Liang chose to be patient and defend for a while.

Xu Jiashu, who personally conducted the investigation, came to the conclusion that the quality gap between the soldiers on both sides was too large. Launching a surprise attack under the cover of night must have been overthinking, so there was only one way left.

Ju Yi, a mercenary leader born in Liangzhou, was a general whom Yuan Shao recruited from Han Fu and was not a direct descendant;

With an order, Yuan Jun relied on the camp and entered the standby mode, with dense arrows splashing like spring rain. This was their favorite rhythm, using overwhelming manpower and material resources to consume the lives of their opponents.

Yan Liang hurriedly put on his armor and ordered the camp to be strictly guarded and not to go out to fight without authorization. He repeatedly reviewed the existing intelligence in his mind - in Yecheng, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, as direct relatives of Lu Zhi, were the key targets of intelligence attention. It was impossible to fight outside the city. There is no sound

Not to mention Zhang He's department. If Lu Ziqian hadn't still been alive, Zhang Junyi might have brought his men to join him, so it couldn't have been him.

And this phenomenon is also easy to understand. Famous generals often come from rough backgrounds and need to go through countless fights in the ranks before finally standing out. Unless such a person has no temper and is determined to be a dog, sooner or later he will have trouble with Yuan Benchu. Contradictory, it is difficult to stay under his command for a long time.

At dawn the next day, the morning fog filled the Huan River. Xu Jiashu led several hundred Yingchuan infantry to launch a tentative attack while the sky was still light. As soon as the battle flag with the word "Xu" was pointed, the sound of killing on the north bank suddenly shook the sky. Yuan Jun's camp was shocked by the crowds of people, who didn't know who was coming.

This time, I finally realized why Boss Cao had to camp against Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu. Trying to attack Yuan Jun's camp head-on with equal strength was simply suicide!

Your troops are losing casualties every moment, but my arrows are endless.jpg

Not long after, Xu Jiashu looked at the soldiers turning around and running away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Speaking of which, this is very consistent with the characteristics of Yuan Shao's direct lineage, that is, they only have strong soldiers but no famous generals.

However, although Yuan Jun did not have many famous generals, thanks to Yuan Shao's strong attraction to the nobles, there were a number of poor scholars who regarded him as a "model for the world" and were willing to serve for him. With these high-quality grassroots officers as a basic base that are completely unimaginable to other forces, Yuan Jun is at the top level of his generation in other aspects such as logistics, fortifications, and equipment.

Lu Bu, historically he came here to do part-time work. After defeating the Black Mountain bandits, he returned to the Central Plains to stab Boss Cao in the back.

Although the visibility was low under the heavy fog and the hit rate was quite random, it was enough to seriously shake the attackers.

You know, the people in Xu Jiashu's hands, even if we exclude the old, weak, sick and disabled who were sent by the Jizhou family, the remaining Yingchuan soldiers have little morale to speak of. Most of them are tenants and servants raised by the Yingchuan family. , all the way to the north, I have long been thinking about returning home to my wife and children, and I can't help but run away when there is any disturbance.

Xu Jiashu was not surprised when his exploratory attack was thwarted - to attack the strong with the weak, he had to actively look for opportunities. At worst, he would go back to Xi Zhi to discuss it before trying again. Anyway, he didn't have anything else on hand. trump card.

Just as I was thinking about this, I saw the gate of Yuan Jun's camp rising slowly, and a group of men and horses marched out with the help of arrows behind them. The leader held a long-handled sword and vigorously urged his mount to seize the opportunity for the attacker to retreat. Launch a counterattack. It’s Yan Liang!

After discovering that the invading enemy was so easily driven back by crossbows, he finally couldn't help himself and went out to fight.

The diffuse morning fog will not only reduce the efficiency of the defensive side's crossbows, but also make it difficult for the attacking side to organize effectively. Especially when the retreat has begun, it is almost impossible to reorganize the formation.

This was an excellent opportunity to counterattack. If he fought well, he would be able to roll back the bead curtain. It was not impossible to annihilate all the invading enemies in one fell swoop. Even if he didn't fight well, with the cover of the morning mist, Yan Liang believed that he could escape unscathed.

As a nail stuck in Wei County, the spring water in Yecheng had been blocked for so long. It was not easy to see someone coming to show off his military exploits. Naturally, he was not willing to let this opportunity go easily.

Simply holding the camp this time was not enough to show his ability and make him look good in front of Yuan Shao. Only by annihilating all the invading enemies can the whole of Hebei know that he is not just a martial artist!

In the dense aura, I could see the big knife swaying freely among the crowd, sweeping across and slashing furiously, causing blood to splash everywhere. The fleeing soldiers could only hear the shrill screams behind them, wishing they had more legs - —You don’t have to throw away the pursuers, just throw away the friendly forces and you can survive!

Yan Liang's sudden charge made the formation of Yingchuan's infantry even more scattered, with no possibility of reorganization at all. They were like a god of death walking in the morning mist, reaping the hot life.

With the help of the mystery created by the unique battlefield environment, Yan Liang at this time created an effect similar to Zhang Fei's [Fear Halo]!

This is the role that a strong general can play in a small-scale battle. Xu Jiashu couldn't sit still - if Yan Liang was allowed to kill like this, the original retreat might turn into a big defeat, which he absolutely could not accept. .

Looking at the sword flying up and down, although he was not sure whether it was Yan Liang, the only way to turn defeat into victory now was to take a gamble. Danger often comes with opportunities. The enemy will try to expand the results and choose to leave the camp to launch a pursuit, which is equivalent to putting his own life on the gambling table.

Kill him, kill him and you will win!

The last thing to do was to confirm his identity. Xu Jiashu shouted loudly: "The thief general Yan Liangke is here to lead him to death!"

Do you dare to agree if I call you?

In the heavy mist, Yan Liang, who was eager to kill, heard this. He shook his hand and shook off the blood beads that were about to form frost on the blade. He replied proudly: "It's just the right time!"

Xu Jiashu immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.

Behind, there is an unknown small slope.

Tang Rou looked left and right, her vision always blocked by the fog, and she could only get a rough idea of ​​the situation - Xu Zimao's people were retreating at a faster speed, and the men with great momentum were replaced by Yuan Jun soldiers who came out of camp to pursue them, but among those who had fled back to their own formation, Xu Zimao was nowhere to be seen.

Her heart tightened as she thought of some of the worst outcomes. She couldn't help but take longer steps, almost walking out of the small slope. As soon as she realized this, Tang Rou immediately shrank her shoulders and blocked her ears with her hands. .

"Zimao has something to say first, you can't leave here."

Tang Rou suddenly said something strange. Not far behind her, a red-faced and bearded man's bell-like voice sounded almost at the same time. The content was exactly what she said.

She turned around and glared at Guan Yu fiercely.

The condition of Xu Zimao's promise to her to watch the battle in person was to listen to the arrangements of this man named Guan Yunchang, but he was like a repeater, only repeating this sentence!

I don’t know why Xu Zimao trusts this idiot so much.

"Xu Zimao hasn't come back yet," Tang Rou asked, "What should I do if he is entangled? Are you just indifferent?"

"."

Guan Yu's face did not change (still so red), he caressed his long beard and said: "I have some knowledge of Zi Mao's martial arts. In any case, I won't be left here like this, unless..."

Tang Ji asked: "Unless what?"

Unless he is killed instantly by someone who is so fast that he exceeds his reaction limit, Guan Yu thought to himself.

His natural supernatural power is different from others, and he has the characteristic of "lifting a heavy weight with ease". He is obviously a nine-foot strong man who stands tall and strong, but his movement speed when taking action is much faster than that of ordinary people.

"Then what do you want to do before you are willing to help him?" Guan Yu didn't explain, and Tang Ji didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. She only cared about this.

He was kidnapped from Yingchuan and knew no one else except Xu Zimao. If something went wrong with him, who would take him to travel around?

Nothing can happen to him!
