Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1699 Chaos

   General Hussars was doing well in Pingyang, but Liu Bei in southern Sichuan was a little at a loss.

Liu Bei was reluctant to settle Ruo, and he was not willing to retreat like this. Fortunately, the location of the camp he chose was not bad. There was a mountain for defense, and the river on one side could be used for daily hunting and replenishment, so even though the Ruo people came to test it two or three times , In the end, they did not break through Liu Bei's line of defense.

   It's just that Liu Bei didn't have much strength to attack again, so the two sides became deadlocked until Guan Yu Jianyong led a team of soldiers to **** the food and grass. Because land transfer is not very convenient, so this time Guan Yu and Jian Yong simply bought some civilian boats, formed a small fleet, and came along the river.

  Sun Qian still stayed in Chengdu, as a link to do some mediation and negotiation work.

  Brothers met again, Liu Bei couldn't help crying, and cried for a while holding Guan Yu with tears in his eyes, before several people sat down to discuss the current situation.

  Liu Bei described in detail the overall situation of the tug-of-war between him and the Ruo people during this period of time, and then explained the surveyed Dingruo and the surrounding terrain, everyone couldn't help but fell silent for a while.

  Jian Yong frowned, stroked his beard, thought for a long time, and then said: "Master, Yong has something unclear..."

   Liu Bei said: "Xianhe, please speak."

  Jian Yong nodded, and said: "My lord, how do you see the Ruo people? Are you braver than the Qiang people? Are you fiercer than Sichuan soldiers?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The soldiers of Ruoren are like flies in the forest. They can't be driven away, and they can't be killed. If they are ignored, they will bite again, which is very troublesome... As for the martial arts, they are not as good as Sichuan soldiers. and also!"

  Jian Yong nodded and said: "Exactly. However..." Jian Yong glanced at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, cupped his hands and said, "Yong just spoke bluntly, how offending..."

  Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Xianhe said bluntly, they are all brothers of our own family, so don't worry about it."

   Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and remained silent. As for Zhang Fei on the side, he also laughed and said that Jian Yong should just say it.

  Jian Yong can be said to be an old man who has been with Liu Bei all the way since the beginning of the incident. He has been with Liu Bei for a long time. Although he is not as close as a brother to Liu Bei like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is not far behind.

"If the Ruo people are so brave, why did they curl up on the ground in Dingzao in the past?" Jian Yong said slowly, "Our soldiers dare not say that they are equal to the soldiers of the hussars, but they can easily defeat the soldiers of Sichuan. ...My lord, the two generals, don’t you think there is something strange here?” Jian Yong’s meaning is very straightforward and simple, look, these Ruo people in Dingruo can’t even beat Sichuan soldiers, and then why suddenly Can you engage in more than a dozen rounds with us?

  Liu Bei thought about it, nodded and said: "Xianhe's words are true, a certain person also has this doubt..."

  Guan Yu Danfeng opened his eyes, not angry but majestic, and said in a deep voice: "The meaning of constitutional harmony is that there are orioles behind?"

Jian Yong nodded slowly, "Zao people are barbarians. They don't know how to form an army, and they don't repair armors. How can they fight for a long time? Although Yong said he was here for the first time, he felt that this matter was very different. If there was no one behind him Driven... After all, I am equal to Chuanzhong, and I don't hear the slightest reputation from Zoren?"

   If Ruoren is said to be so powerful, then naturally there must have been some fights with Liu Zhang over the years, how come he has never heard of it at all?

  Liu Bei slapped his thigh and said: "Xianhe is really sharp! This statement completely clears up some doubts! Come here! Bring some of the captured Zeren's weapons!"

  The guard came in with some weapons and put them in the middle with a bang.

  Liu Bei took out a saber, looked it up and down, and said angrily, "Sure enough, it was made by the Han family!"

  Guan Yu also squinted his eyes and held a handful to look at it, and said coldly: "The rust color is light, it is newly made soon..."

   "Okay!" Mr. Zhang jumped up immediately, and shouted angrily, "So that's the case! I was plotted against by a thief! Wow, I'm so angry!"

  Liu Bei stuck the knife into the ground and said, "Be at peace, third brother! I was equal to the clear before, so naturally I suffered a disadvantage. Now that the constitution is clear and clear, the situation will turn around...Get the picture book!"

Several people looked carefully before the album, and Liu Bei suddenly reached out and clicked somewhere on the album, and then gestured along the river, saying: "The mountain road here is rugged, if you go along the mountain shape, it will be very inconvenient to transfer. Therefore, if there is a yellow sparrow behind, it is probably here..."

Naturally, there are no large-scale naval forces in Sichuan and Shu, and large warships cannot enter these twisting and turning rivers in Sichuan and Shu, but there are many small sampans. Less water network. These small boats for civilian use are of little significance for direct combat on the water, but they are used to transport soldiers, food, grass, equipment, etc., which are much more convenient than going directly by land.

  Zhang Fei stood proudly and said, "Brother, I will leave this matter to a certain person! A certain person will take Zhe Erlang to investigate!"

  Liu Bei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, Xianhe Fanglai, Ruoren must not know...someone has a plan, you might as well..."

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei seems to have only one sentence left: "So and so save me". When I met Zhao Yun, I also said the same sentence, but it was replaced by "Zilong save me"...

   Just like Tang Seng, maybe the later Lao Wu came according to the style of Mr. Luo?

  But in the actual history, Liu Bei got mixed up in the military formation a little bit, and there were still a few tricks, such as setting fire.

  The fire at Bowangpo was not actually one of the three fires when Brother Zhu took office as said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but was planned and implemented by Liu Bei...

   And now, Liu Bei is also going to continue to light the fire.

  ...(￣^￣)Hmph! …

  There are three water streams around Dingzao. From west to east, there are Yanshui, Lushui and Sunshui, and then they converge to become the Lujiang River in the south of Dingzao, and then twist and turn all the way to the east, flowing through the middle of Sichuan.

  Li Hui and Yuan Yue established camps on both sides of Sunshui in the south of Dingzuo. Yuan Yue and Zhe Rong were on the northwest bank of Sun River, and Li Hui and others were on the southeast bank. They built two pontoon bridges, and they could communicate with each other in normal times.

The night was dark, and the Jin people were relatively undisciplined. After the dinner, some of the Jin people sang folk songs. Although Li Hui couldn't fully understand the language of the Jin people, but after getting along for a long time, he could generally understand it. Guessing one of them, he couldn't help but shook his head and frowned with some disdain.

  Folk songs, naturally most of them are loved by men and women, and how elegant can they be? So it’s more subtle to take it off for nothing...

  First, a few connoisseurs sang, but when they sang to the point of interest, many prostitutes also shouted loudly, and then burst out laughing.

  Fortunately, they are divided into camps, otherwise it would be really...

  Li Hui shook his head and said, "Go down the order! Close the gate of the camp! No unreasonable noise in the camp!" The orderer outside the tent agreed and went down.

  Li Hui kept his eyes on the table album, staring at the red dot marked in it, frowning, thinking in his heart. "This Liu Xuande, why didn't he retreat? Now it is estimated that there are only two thousand people left... maybe not enough. According to the usual practice, the morale should be broken after two or three deaths, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. The result... how come Why don't you want to go back?"

In fact, after such a long time, Li Hui felt a little anxious. After all, the methods under the table are often not put on the table, so Li Hui and his group are naturally not easy to show up. It's useful, obviously there was an excellent opportunity before but I couldn't seize it, otherwise Liu Da Er would have died in Dingze long ago!

  No matter how you say it, no matter how tough the audience is, as long as you stand on the stage, you still have a smile on your face, which means that we are all "friends" who have a good relationship...

   It doesn't matter how many times you attack secretly, as long as you don't get dragged onto the table.

  The same is true for Li Hui. After pondering for a long time, he felt that it is still necessary to let Zheren step up his offensive, and even consider letting Zheren join in. "This Liu Xuande is so tenacious...but it is the end of his battle..."

After thinking about it, Li Hui went to rest. Before midnight, he was awakened by a loud noise. He turned over quickly and asked what happened. He only heard the report from the soldiers outside the tent in a panicked tone: " The pontoon is on fire!"

  Li Hui was shocked, "Why did the fire start?"

  The soldiers said: "I don't know why, but I saw figures shaking on the pontoon bridge, not like my own soldiers... May I ask the envoy, do you want to go out to rescue the fire?"

  Li Hui frowned, this fire was strange, it was better to be careful, so he ordered the camp to be strictly guarded and not to go out, and everything will be discussed after dawn.

Li Hui stays behind closed doors here, but Yuan Yue's camp is not so particular. Before Yuan Yue can issue an order, some soldiers have already rushed out to put out the fire. . However, when the incident happened suddenly, many people had no clue. Some people subconsciously rushed to the side of the burning pontoon bridge, only to realize that they had nothing with them, so they hurried back to get wooden basins and barrels...

Normally, the pontoon bridge is erected on the water. If the rescue is timely, even if there is a fire, it will not be damaged. But the problem is that in the dark night, not only the flames on the pontoon bridge, but also the flames brought by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei A group of malicious soldiers!

   Seeing the chaos in the camp on the north bank, Guan Yu, who was in the midst of the sun, immediately ordered to lean to the north, and then rushed out from one side, and rushed directly to the chaotic camp.

  Night attack, in fact, is not so terrible, nor is it a very powerful move. The reason why it is often used is mainly because of the additional effect brought by night attack. If we talk about burning the pontoon bridge, both the north and south camps stood firm and waited for it, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei might have to retreat like this, and would not gain much advantage. After all, the civilian ships were quite small, and there were not many soldiers. The difference in the number of people within is too large, and it may not be possible to take advantage of a head-on confrontation.

  However, the camp was scattered and there was no way to run in and out. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally seized the opportunity. The man was startled immediately, before he could react, he was approached by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and crashed directly into the camp!

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Yuan Yue, the chief general of the Jinren, does not attach great importance to the defense of the camp, and even if Yuan Yue, the king of the Jinren, wants to pay attention to the defense of the camp, he may not be able to know how to do it. Quite loose, after encountering Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's surprise attack, they did not immediately form a whole, but fought on their own, and the gap in force led to sporadic resistance that was quickly suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the panic of the people spread. started to spread...

The enemy's night attack is afraid of the bombing of the camp caused by the night attack. Soldiers fight on their own and are easily broken one by one. And they kill each other more often than those who are poisoned by the enemy... And as long as the soldiers are well-trained, If he could calm down quickly, find his comrades, and regroup, the enemy army that attacked at night would have no chance to take advantage of it.

   After all, it is impossible to have too many people in a night raid, and if there are too many people, it will be discovered from a distance. For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brought less than 200 people from the elite group this time. If the sky is clear and the camp is not chaotic, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may not be able to make a successful breakthrough.

  Among the flames, figures swayed, screams and shouts of killing were deafening, and there was immediate chaos in the camp.

The scorpion people are used to dragging their families around. Under the sudden chaos, men, women, old and weak wolves rush forward. Many people have no time to put on their armour, and it is too late to form an formation to meet the enemy. In addition, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's subordinates are constantly throwing fire torches. Throwing around, ignited many tents, the flames billowed, thick smoke rose, and from time to time, a man covered in flames screamed and rolled, making a creepy sound, scaring the other men to roll and crawl away from the flames , to hide in the darkness, but under the swaying light and shadow, it is even more difficult to distinguish the enemy and the enemy in the darkness. Whenever there is a horrified scream, there will be countless swords around him, and they will trample on each other for a while, and there will be no casualties.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a tacit understanding for many years, and they saw that there was no need for any exchange of orders, they just cooperated with each other. If one party encountered resistance, the other party would immediately kill him from the flank. Such a small-scale battle was magnified to the extreme, and the Jianren camp was smashed to pieces by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

At this time, Yuan Yue, the king of the scorpion, took advantage of escaping again. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately used a move. The labor and management fled first to respect the move. As a result, there was no one in the camp and they pushed each other Stampede, many people killed each other in order to escape. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so brave that they almost went in and out of no one's land, until they reached the camp of the concubines, and then scattered the fire everywhere. The fire grew stronger and the air in the camp was scorching hot At that moment, he took a breath of resentment and led his men to retreat slowly.
