The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 586 585 The Burning Yangtze River (25)

When Guan Yu gave the order, everyone present was a little surprised. After looking at each other for a while, they saw a man standing up, cupping his hands and asking, "General Guan, the enemy is attacking aggressively. We should actively defend ourselves. Why? At this juncture, you still have to go to war? Besides, please forgive me for being presumptuous, I don’t know where General Guan wants to go to war?”

"It is precisely because of the enemy's large-scale invasion that we can't sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack, catch them by surprise, attack them unprepared, and give the enemy a painful blow to let the enemy know how powerful our army is. It will be difficult to break through." Guan Yu said.

"But, General Guan, the enemy army has hundreds of thousands of people..."

Guan Yu snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "Even if the enemy has millions of people, what can I do? If someone in my Guan wants to take the head of a man among thousands of troops, it is like searching for something. He just needs to rush into the enemy's formation and kill him. If the king of Yan, Zhang Yan, is defeated, the enemy army will be leaderless, and they will inevitably fall into chaos, which happens to be the time for our army to take revenge."

After listening to Guan Yu's words, everyone seemed to regain a little confidence.But deep down in their hearts, they still have some worries.

Guan Yu is not a fool, nor is he blind, so he can naturally see the worries of those soldiers.However, he said with confidence: "Don't worry, King Yan will definitely be killed in this expedition. As long as Zhang Yan, King Yan dies, the enemy army will fall into chaos. We can take advantage of the chaos to attack and defeat the enemy army in one go." .”

Afterwards, Jian Yong who was present stood up and said in a loud voice: "General Guan said very well. In terms of strength, our army is indeed inferior to the enemy's army. Therefore, our army can only win by surprise. General Guan's strategy just now can be said to be It is very good. It is definitely possible to defeat the enemy with less. As long as we are all united and united, no matter how many enemies come, we don’t have to be afraid, because our General Guan can win the battle among thousands of troops. Take the head!"

After Jian Yong finished speaking, everyone in the room stopped talking. Guan Yu is a famous enemy of thousands of people. This is a well-known fact, and what Guan Yu said is very reasonable. Fight hard once, maybe you can really defeat the enemy army.

Therefore, everyone silently agreed with Guan Yu's decision. Even if they disagreed, it would not help the matter, because Guan Yu had already issued an order, and they had to follow along.

Guan Yu knows Changsha better than anyone else. He has been in Jingnan for several years and has traveled to every corner of the four counties in Jingnan. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Zhang Yan.

Although Zhang Yan brought an army of [-], they had to stop at the Miluo River because they had to go by water.

However, the county seat of Luo County is about 2 or [-] miles away from the Miluo River. Even if Zhang Yan went to Luo County with a guard, there would be no more than [-] people at most. You can carry out a long-distance raid, lead all the troops, go straight to the county seat of Luoxian County, surround Zhang Yan in the county seat of Luoxian County, and then cut off the connection between the water army on the riverside and Zhang Yan, and completely trap Zhang Yan alive In the county seat.

This is Guan Yu's plan, and it is also the last performance of his hard work.Whether Zhang Yan can be successfully killed depends on this military operation.

Half an hour later, all the troops were assembled, led by Guan Yu himself, and rushed to Luo County.

The army led by Guan Yu was only 1 Shanyue troops. Later, after occupying Changsha, he recruited some old troops and expanded the army to 4 people, plus the [-] troops brought by Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong. There are [-] troops available for Guan Yu to command.

This time, Guan Yu directly took away 4 people, leaving only [-] soldiers to guard the city, and let Jian Yong stay to guard Linxiang City.

At this time, the night had already fallen, Guan Yu led the [-] horse infantry, and set off towards Luo County in a mighty way. I will lead the way, and the rest will follow behind.

Linxiang is not too far from Luo County, and the road along the way is very flat. Guan Yu and the others did not encounter any danger. After a long journey of three hours, they finally arrived in Luo County smoothly. Less than forty miles.

At this time, it was already the dawn of the next day, and the army marched overnight, and they were still walking so fast that many soldiers were exhausted.

However, Guan Yu didn't intend to rest at all. Instead, he urged the army to speed up the march, and finally stopped temporarily at a place twenty miles away from the county seat, before letting the army rest.

However, Guan Yu was not idle for a moment. He immediately sent scouts to the county ahead to investigate, hoping to learn the latest situation here before making a decision.

Half an hour later, all the scouts sent by Guan Yu came back one after another, and reported to Guan Yu everything they had inquired about.

On the county seat of Luo County, Zhang Yan's king's flag was hung high, the city wall was brightly lit, there was a sentry post every three steps, and a post every five steps, and the guards were extremely strict.On the road leading to the river, there are also a small number of rangers patrolling back and forth, about 200 people.

After Guan Yu heard the news, he opened the map, gathered all the generals and schools under him, lit a torch, and under the faint light of the fire, Guan Yu pointed to the place names marked on the map and began to talk freely. Pointing fingers.

After some arrangements, Guan Yu asked solemnly, "Are you all clear about this operation?"

"It's all clear!" All the generals replied together.

Guan Yu said: "Since everything is clear, then act according to the plan. Your performance tonight will directly affect the success of the whole plan. If I kill Zhang Yan today, you will all be rewarded!"

"Thank you General for your kindness, we will do our best to complete the task!"

"Okay, it's not too late, the sky is about to dawn, we start to act now, if it is too late, we won't be able to achieve the effect of the surprise attack!" Guan Yu said.

Everyone nodded one after another, then clasped their fists together towards Guan Yu, and finally dispersed one after another, and then gathered all the ministries to act separately.

Guan Yu gathered 5000 Shanyue elites and an army of 3 people, a total of 1 people, and rushed straight to Luoxian County.The other [-] people were divided into two parts. One part was responsible for laying ambushes and traps on the only way from the river to the county. The other part is responsible for driving away the patrolling rangers. In order not to startle the enemy, it is necessary to kill all the [-] rangers and leave no one behind, so as not to leak the news.After the rangers are dealt with, they will join another group of people to intercept the reinforcements to support Luo County.

In Guan Yu's view, this plan was perfect, so he was full of confidence.

The distance of twenty miles is not too far. For soldiers like Guan Yu and the others, it is only a moment.

The army was still in silence. Unlike the previous marches, Guan Yu sent scouts to scout the road early in order to avoid surprises. In case of any danger, he quickly sent back the news. Only in this way can he ensure that they The sneak attack was successful.

Everything went smoothly, as if the heavens were taking care of them, they didn't meet a single enemy along the way, and the sky gradually darkened during the time before dawn, which happened to cover their arrival near the county seat quietly.

The county seat of Luo County is just a small city, and if it can accommodate 4 to [-] people, it will be very crowded.There is no moat in the county seat of Luo County, and the city walls are not very high. I really don't know why Zhang Yan chose this place as his foothold.

On the city wall of the county seat, just as the scouts had reported before, the lights were bright, there was a whistle every three steps, and a post every five steps. The soldiers were all standing upright, looking well-trained.

However, the firelight on the city wall can only illuminate a very limited area, and it is limited to within [-] steps around the city wall. If it is more than [-] steps away, you can't see anything.

Moreover, this time is also the time when people are most likely to get sleepy. Guan Yu could vaguely see that the soldiers who had stuck to their posts all night couldn't help yawning, and some even leaned against the city wall and took a nap.

"God helped me too!" Seeing this scene, Guan Yu couldn't mention how happy he was. He raised his head and stared closely at the flagpole hanging above the city wall with his tiger eyes. The king's flag swayed with the wind, and the huge "Swallow" was always reflected in Guan Yu's eyes.

"Start action!" Guan Yu stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and ordered the generals following him.

The generals all gave a soft "Here", and then dispersed one after another, each with their subordinates, and spread out in all directions, surrounding the county seat of Luo County, and quietly surrounded the county seat.

In the county seat of Luo County, there are only two city gates in the north and south, and only around these two gates are there so many people standing. Although there are people standing on the rest of the city walls, relatively speaking, there are not as many people standing at the gates.

When everyone was in place, Guan Yu began to order an attack on the county seat of Luo County.

"Fire arrows!"

Following Guan Yu's order, countless arrows flew out from the darkness in all directions, and shot at the defenders standing on the city wall one after another.

With the sudden attack, people on the city wall were shot with arrows one after another, and then fell down with a scream.

At this time, a defender escaped a lucky arrow, and when he saw someone attacking, he immediately ran into the tower and rang a big bell hanging in the tower.

Boom!Boom!Bang——

The huge bell sounded particularly harsh on such a quiet night. The silent city of Luoxian County immediately became lively with the ringing of the bell...
