People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching
Chapter 531 Xiangyang
Chapter 531 Xiangyang
"It seems the Yellow Turbans are getting serious this time!"
On the high general platform, Liao Hua watched from afar as the Yellow Turban navy ships on the river gathered into a huge team and attacked this side, facing enormous pressure.
It is obvious that this time the Yellow Turbans' actions are no longer the tentative attacks of the past.
Of course, Liao Hua only felt the pressure. For the time being, he was not worried about the safety of Xiangyang.
After more than ten days of mutual attack and defense, he had almost figured out the strength of the other side. Even if the Yellow Turbans on the other side were slightly stronger than Wu and Shu, they would not be much better. This alone was not enough to offset the huge disadvantage of crossing the river.
Deng Dang was also observing the situation carefully. After witnessing the Yellow Turbans' movements with his own eyes, he was able to confirm that now was the opportunity.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Although Xiangyang is well guarded, the Yellow Turbans are coming in full force and should not be underestimated. I will send a vanguard to reinforce the front line to avoid any accidents."
After saying that, Deng Dang turned around and said something to the generals around him, and soon someone led the troops to the front camp.
Liao Hua smiled when he saw this. It was precisely because both Wu and Shu had worked so hard that they were able to repeatedly force the Yellow Turbans back in recent days. This gave Liao Hua enough confidence to preserve Xiangyang.
Deng Dang took the lead in making arrangements. As a general of the Shu army, Liao Hua naturally could not hide anything, so he also sent out a vanguard army to reinforce the front line.
Afterwards, the two of them observed the situation while discussing the battle plan, and issued various orders to dispatch troops from time to time. During the whole process, Deng Dang did not behave abnormally, and Liao Hua naturally did not notice anything wrong.
What Liao Hua didn't know was that it was during this natural deployment that Deng Dang had successfully separated the Wu army camp.
Those generals and troops who were not trusted and could not be controlled were quietly sent to the front line by Deng Dang, and those who stayed with him were all his own people.
If Liao Huaduo looked back at this time, he would notice a strange atmosphere around him.
Deng Dang made eye contact with the Wu army's generals without leaving a trace. Next, he only needed to exert force at the most appropriate time to end everything in front of him.
On the sea, before the Wu and Shu navy could react, the sudden attack of the Yellow Turban navy had already achieved results, and a large number of soldiers arrived at the other side under the transportation of ships.
However, the first thing they faced at this time was the Wu and Shu army that had already set up defenses.
The war was about to break out, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The river bank, which had been quiet just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with flying sand and rocks, and the sound of metal clashing.
Liao Hua became even more nervous, but he still remained calm. After all, judging from the battle situation, the combat power of the Yellow Turbans that crossed the river was not as terrifying as the Xuanxia Yellow Turbans that he had seen before. After the battle, the two sides actually fought back and forth.
Moreover, if he continued to fight like this, it would be the Yellow Turbans who would be unable to hold on, not himself.
The difficulty of the Yellow Turbans crossing the river was even higher than that of attacking a city. After all, the number of troops carried by the ships was limited. In the initial stage, when the number of troops was insufficient, it was easy for them to be surrounded and destroyed by the well-prepared Wu-Shu coalition forces. If they could not gain a foothold on the beach, everything that followed would be in vain.
Even if we take a step back and allow the Yellow Turbans to send their entire army across the river, it would be even more dangerous for them.
The Yellow Turbans have no way to retreat behind them, but the surging Yangtze River. If the battle situation is slightly unfavorable, there will be no room for maneuver and they will be wiped out here.
However, they crossed the river to fight, so how could they break through the Wu and Shu camps so easily? They had solid fortifications, while the Yellow Turbans had nothing to rely on.
Not to mention, the Wu and Shu navy were only deployed far away, not retreating. They would be able to return to the battlefield for support after the war lasted for a period of time. At that time, it would be more difficult for the Yellow Turbans to continue crossing the river or retreating.
The difficulties brought by the natural barriers of waterways are far more disheartening than those of towering city walls. This is why the Wu-Shu coalition forces had previously placed their strategic focus on blocking the Yellow Turbans from crossing the river.
They were no match for the Yellow Turbans on the front battlefield. They had to make full use of favorable factors to offset the difference in strength between the two sides, and only then could they be qualified to challenge the Yellow Turbans. However, they had not calculated the Yellow Turbans' fake soldiers, and ultimately failed.
But at least on the Xiangyang battlefield, the Yellow Turbans' disadvantage still existed. Although Liao Hua was nervous, he also had absolute confidence that the Yellow Turbans would soon be unable to continue fighting like this.
In fact, not only Liao Hua understood it, even Ma Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban navy who was fighting at the time, also felt that he could not continue the battle.
"We can't fight like this anymore, we must prepare to retreat!" Ma Yan slapped the edge of the boat and was about to turn around to give orders, completely ignoring Lu Meng who was standing next to him.
But Lu Meng smiled and grabbed Ma Yan: "Old Ma, listen to me, keep fighting like this, and you can win!"
Ma Yan was obviously a little angry. He shook off Lu Meng's hand and glared at him, "Are you crazy? If you hadn't kept saying that there were other arrangements for this battle, I wouldn't have listened to you and attacked with all my strength. But now it seems that there are no other arrangements. It is impossible to capture Xiangyang by fighting like this. Do you want to let your brothers die in vain?"
Ma Yan actually understood his mission very well. He just needed to tie down the other side of the river here. As long as he could tie up the Wu and Shu navy here, the Yellow Turbans on the front would have no worries. It didn't matter whether they could capture Xiangyang or not. The Yellow Turbans were fully capable of ending the battle on the front line.
The main force of the army had crossed the river and entered Yangzhou, and the navy had completed its mission.
It would be better if Xiangyang could be captured, but it doesn't matter if we can't. In any case, there is no need to let the soldiers die in vain like this.
When Lu Meng looked at the other side, he saw that the battle was already in full swing. He finally shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, at this time, there is really no need to hide it from you. Since I said there is an arrangement, then of course there is one."
After saying that, Lu Meng pulled Ma Yan aside and whispered something to him.
Ma Yan listened attentively. After a while, his eyes widened suddenly, then brightened a little, and his expression visibly changed from surprise to excitement, and finally his face turned a little red.
"I was wondering why we had to launch a strong attack today. So this is the reason!" Ma Yan couldn't hold back his anger when he understood the reason. He slapped Lu Meng hard and said, "You are such a tight-lipped guy. You are telling me such a crucial thing only now!"
Lu Meng smiled faintly and pointed forward: "Everything is just for safety reasons. You see, the battle is in full swing now. I'm afraid my brother-in-law will make a move soon."
What Lu Meng said was exactly right. When the battle was at its most intense, Deng Dang moved.
The generals around him unknowingly approached the Shu general on the platform, and the Wu army squad below pretended to walk and surrounded the surroundings. These actions were like a tightening noose, and the one who was about to be tied up was Liao Hua, who was still unaware.
At this moment, Liao Hua only felt footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Deng Dang walking slowly towards him.
"Brother Deng, the Yellow Turbans have been unable to conquer the city for a long time. I think they are about to retreat." Liao Hua said with a smile.
Deng Dang just shook his head and sighed: "Yes, we are going to win."
When these words were spoken, Liao Hua was stunned and did not react for a moment. Then he looked at Deng Dang with puzzled eyes.
Since you are going to win, why sigh?
He suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed a little weird, and Deng Dang's expressionless face seemed to foreshadow something bad.
He was about to ask, but before he could open his mouth, he saw a flash of silver light, and then he felt a chill on his neck, and the world went dark.
"Unfortunately, the one who is going to win is not you and me, but him and me."
Deng Dang said this quietly, then raised his sword and shouted, "Liao Hua is dead, why don't the Shu army surrender?"
