Chapter 41 Zhao Botao Linyuan fought against Nanman Guan Yunchangwancheng refused Cao Hong
"Four-way army?" Zhao Feng was also surprised to hear Gan Ning and Zhou Tai explain the overall situation in detail. The news of Jingnan was blocked. I thought it was Meng Huo who came, but I didn't expect Cao Qian to make such a big noise.
"Exactly, the lord ordered us to tell the general that he personally led the army to the enemy Cao, and the matter of the southern barbarians was solved by the general himself. The Lord's army has arrived in Qiao County. In addition, Mr. Xianhe has also sent an envoy to Hebei to let General Yuan send troops as promised, and attack Cao on both sides. Chen replied.
"That's good." Zhao Feng should accept it, but he was a little surprised in his heart. There is no other reason. This time, the four-way army is aggressive. How do you think it looks like a replica of the five-way army invading Western Shu in history? Is this Sima Yi's idea?
In fact, Zhao Feng is still quite afraid of Sima Yi, who dragged Zhuge Liang to death in history. This man is like the poisonous snake. He endured for a long time before giving you a fatal blow. Before, he could even pretend to be a grandson and pretended to be home. Cao Shuang was so overshadowed by him. I'm in Jingnan now. Don't be tricked by him to overturn the ditch.
"General, I don't know what's going on at the present?" After everyone sat down, Zhou Tai, who was the most anxious, asked first. Just now, General Sha sent someone to report that Nanzhong Meng got 100,000 troops and sent troops to Wuling County. The vanguard is E Huan, a brave general in the barbarians. He led the army to reach the Yuanjiang River by 10,000 Ming. Zhao Feng came slowly.
"Yanjiang?" Chen was a little surprised when he heard the words. The barbarian army was so brave that it hit the Yuanjiang River so quickly? Gan Ning is also quite surprised.
"Ha ha, the two generals don't know anything. I ordered General Sha to give up the land west of the Yuanjiang River. When Ehuan's 10,000 troops cross the Yuanjiang River, Xingba will immediately lead the water army to block their retreat and prevent Meng Huo from invading. We will lead the army to kill and retreat Ehuan head-on!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"I will understand at the end!" Chen and other three people all agreed when they heard the words. Zhao Feng has few soldiers. Even after Chen led their troops to reinforce, Zhao Feng had only 50,000 to 60,000 horses, including the new army and the navy. The combat effectiveness of the land battle was not strong. Therefore, in the face of 100,000 brave and good bruteons, it is impossible to fight hard. In Chen's opinion, it is a good way to let the enemy go of the river and clean it up slowly.
However, when the ranking officials see this, they should be able to think that Zhao Feng will not only use such a simple strategy.
not to mention that Zhao Feng and others prepared separately. At this time, E Huan, the pioneer of the barbarian army, led 10,000 troops to the Yuanjiang River. Along the way, although E Huan's headquarters also encountered several small groups of troops of the Wuxi barbarians, the largest number of people was only a hundred people. They all rode on horses and ran away after shooting arrows from afar. There are only hundreds of horses in the vanguard team of 10,000 people, E Huan, and they are unable to fight back in the face of this attack. After all, no matter how fast people run, they can't compare with a four-legged horse.
"When did Samco become so timid that he could only shoot arrows and run away?" E Huan looked at a southern middle soldier who had just been hit by a poisoned arrow in front of him and said viciously. When it was just past a forest, several Wuxi barbarians shot poisonous arrows at them. If it hadn't been for the soldier who pushed himself away, he might have died now, but the price paid was that the soldier himself was hit by an arrow. Although there was no injury at the point, Wuxi poison really sealed his throat with blood. He only struggled twice and died.
"Lead two people to bury this brother and order the army to be careful to move forward. As long as you get out of this forest, you can walk another 20 miles to the Yuanjiang River. After crossing the river, I would like to see where Shamoco can hide. After all, E Huan was the leader of this barbarian army. At this time, he still forced himself to calm down and come up with countermeasures, and finally decided to fight steadily. E Huan knew that Samoco was powerful, and his martial arts skills were by no means inferior to him. If Shamoco hadn't been too powerful, the southern barbarians would have annexed the Wuxi barbarians in recent years. Now he doesn't fight head-on with himself abnormally, but just harasses him. E Huan feels that there is something wrong with this matter, so it's better to be careful.
"E Huan is really a good learner!" Deep in the dense forest, Samoco, who was covered with green leaf juice, grinned when he saw the southern barbarian army move forward cautiously through the leaves.
"General Sha, we should also withdraw and wait until they cross the river to clean them up." The speaker was Zhu Ran, who was also covered with green around Shamoco. For this kind of almost performance art-like dress, Kou Feng and others were not very cold, but Zhu Ran was so happy that he was almost reluctant to put on his armor. Every day, he ran around in the woods with Shamoke, and sometimes he howled.
"I know. Let's ride a horse. There is a boat in the south." Shamoke patted his buttocks and was the first to walk to the open land to the south. Zhu Ran led people to follow him. Everyone rode to the south together, and then they crossed the Yuan River on the boat prepared by Jingxiang sailors.
Before long, E Huan led his army to the Yuanjiang River. The Yuanjiang River was not particularly wide, but there were still dozens of feet. E Huan looked at the wide river and knew that it was impossible to cross, and it was unrealistic to build a pontoon bridge. After learning that the ships upstream and downstream had been requisitioned, E Huan ordered people to cut bamboo and trees in the north of the river and make rafts to prepare to cross the river.
After all, there are many people and great power. Ten thousand people took action at the same time, and hundreds of bamboo rafts were built in the evening. The next morning, under the order of E Huan, hundreds of rafts were all put into the water to transport the barbarian soldiers with a carrying capacity of more than 3,000 people each time. It took an hour to go back and forth three times, and finally all crossed the river.
"Leave 500 people to guard the rafts, and when the king arrives, they will cross the river from now on!" E Huan told a small leader, and then led the army to continue to advance. As long as you cross the Yuanjiang River, you can go more than 50 miles to the north to Linyuan County, the seat of Wuling County. E Huan believes that unless Shamoke and Jin Xuan do not want Wuling at all, they will definitely come out to fight with him.
Shamoke did not disappoint him. Just as Ehuan walked more than 20 miles, Ehuan saw the oncoming Shamoke and the 5,000 flying troops under his command. In addition, there are 10,000 new recruits led by Zhao Feng and Chen.
"Hahahaha, Samoco, you shrinking turtle have finally come out!" Looking at the Jingzhou Army, which was neatly queued and dominated by the number of people in front of him, E Huan was not afraid at all. Like most of the barbarian army in the south, E Huan has always disdained the combat effectiveness of the Han army. There is no reason, just because no one can stop the Yizhou army under Liuzhang over the years. The barbarians in Nanzhong have gradually expanded from the initial two counties of Yongchang and Yunnan to the land of Xinggu and Yan. In E Huan's view, no matter how neat your queue is, he believes that with this 10,000 Nanzhong Jianer under his command, it is enough to destroy the Han army, which is three times his own. The only thing that may be a little troublesome is the thousands of people in Samoco.
not to mention the little Jiujiu in E Huan's heart, at this time, Samoke on the opposite side has called the array directly. E Huan, you and I have fought many times. Do you have the courage to do it again today?" Shamoco roared while tapping on the pair of iron thistles in his hand.
"I'm afraid you won't do it?" After saying this, E Huan directly patted the horse and went forward, and Samoke fought on foot. At this time, the Jingzhou army suddenly became noisy, and even the barbarian army did not look good. However, the two people who fought fiercely naturally did not care about this. A Fang Tianji in E Huan's hand flirted up and down, and the move was inseparable from the key points of Shamoke. Shamoke relied on his flexibility, and it was inconvenient for E Huan to move and dodge on the horse. At present, he was also surrounded by a maggot. Once the two weapons intersect, they often play back to each other. It seems that martial arts are equivalent.
"Grandma, it's really a good advantage to have a beast!" After taking E Huan's move again, Shamoke muttered. After all, E Huan was on the horse, and the condescending result was that his strength increased by three points out of thin air. Although Samoco is born with divine power, he can't take advantage of it now.
With a few more moves, Samoko rolled over from the hoof of E Huan's horse. He looked up and hit the horse's abdomen fiercely. E Huan's war horse suddenly let out a sad cry and fell to the ground.
"What?" Unexpectedly, Shamoke would use this kind of trick, and E Huan was caught off guard and fell down. Just as he was about to get up, the iron thistium bone of Samoco in front of him was handed over again. E Huan had no choice but to sit on the ground and cross the halberd in his hand.
"Dang" made a loud noise. This time, E Huan suffered a big loss. Although he took this move, the price he paid was that the tiger's mouth was cracked, and his arms were numb, and he sat back on the ground again. He couldn't get up for a while. At the same time, Samoco saw that his vitality was greatly damaged, and his left hand pulled out his waist knife and stepped forward and put it on his neck.
"Take it!" Shamoko roared, and several flight soldiers behind him hurriedly held the rope in their hands and tied it to a ball. At this time, E Huan's subordinates saw that the leader was caught, and they hurriedly grabbed it together. How could the Jingzhou army be afraid of them? Zhao Feng waved his hand, and more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops took the non-handed flying army as the main force, and the new army went forward for the left and right wings, and soon they fought together.
"Hey!" After Zhao Feng fired a soldier from Nanzhong with one shot, he still paid attention to the battle situation in his busy schedule. I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army is still quite strong. Their physical fitness in the mountains and forests is outstanding, coupled with their bloodthirsty surnames, such infantry soldiers have excellent combat effectiveness, and what they lack is team combat ability.
Although the Southern Central Army is strong, the Jingzhou Army is not a good cook. This 10,000 new army is trained by Chen, and his combat effectiveness is not weak. What he lacks is actual combat experience, which can only be slowly polished and trained on the battlefield. However, when the Flying Army faced the Southern Central Army, it had the absolute upper hand. It is not only because the team's combat ability is stronger, but also because the equipment is more advanced.
It must be admitted here that although the southern barbarians and Shanyue people can smelt metal, their forging technology is obviously worse than that of the Han people. The Wudang Flying Army is a special force painstakingly operated by Zhao Feng. The sergeants under his command are equipped with the ring knife made of the best fine iron in the Jingzhou Army. Sometimes they can cut off the opponent's blade with one knife. In addition, the Wudang Flying Army is equipped with leather armor, and the key parts are also decorated with iron pieces to protect it. The protection ability is naturally much better than that of the barbarian army wearing only one animal skin. Zhao Feng took a brief look and knew that he would not lose this battle.
"General, be careful!" It was Zhao Feng's personal bodyguard Niu Jin who shot an arrow at Zhao Feng with a knife. Zhao Feng nodded to Niu Jin and then waved his army to fight again. A battle lasted from noon to evening. In the end, the Southern Chinese army saw that they could not win, so they lost and retreated one after another. Zhao Feng asked Shamoke to lead the army to catch up, that's it.
"General, our army killed 1,500 enemies, captured about 1,000, and the rest ran away. These southern barbarians run so fast! The new army suffered more than 800 casualties, and the non-flying army also suffered nearly 200 casualties. After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen was a little angry.
"They can't run away. Xingba is waiting for them in Yuanjiang." Zhao Feng smiled and said. Then he seemed to say to himself and add: "It's good to run away a few." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and even Chen, who was close at hand, didn't notice it.
Just as Zhao Feng and Chen were busy cleaning the battlefield, under the city of Wancheng, Cao Hong was showing off his power. Red-faced thief, climb out of the city quickly and eat your grandfather Cao Hong's knife!" Cao Hongyue shouted loudly, but beside him was Xu Huang with a helpless face.
Since he was defeated in Xuzhou, Cao Hong has practiced martial arts diligently over the years, and his martial arts have indeed made great progress. Therefore, today he is full of confidence to take the initiative to challenge Guan Yu. But Xu Huang knew that with Cao Hong's martial arts, he was tied with himself. Now that I'm fighting with Guan Yu like this, I'm really looking for my own death.
Cao Hong shouted and scolded a few words, but he saw that the gate of Wancheng City slowly opened. He walked out of the five hundred school knives and lined up on both sides. In the middle, there was a red phoenix eyes, lying on a silkworm's eyebrows, his face was like a heavy date, two feet long, wearing a green robe and gold armor, and dragged the green dragon and moon knife in his hand. ** The red rabbit chased the wind and horse. He was not angry and arrogant. It was Guan Yu.
