Chapter 63
Didn't the military advisor already lay out a plan to use cavalry to surprise the enemy's flanks?
So what kind of clever plan is contained in this bag?
The same speculation and curiosity appeared in everyone's minds.
Zhang Liao stared at the kit in his hand and hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly put it in his arms and handed it away.
Bingzhou wolf cavalry rolled away.
Liu Bei became more confident when he saw that Deng Mu had another clever plan.
Then the horse whip shouted:
"The whole army boarded the boats and crossed the river!"
With an order, 20,000 Liu Jun infantry boarded the transport ship.
Gan Ning led the navy to clear the way and escorted the infantry to the south bank.
On the north bank.
Deng Mu led a group of counselors and watched Old Liu lead the army to leave.
Sun Qian and others were still lingering and looking north, nervously waiting to see the outcome of the battle. But
Deng Mu had already yawned and turned around to go back to the camp.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Deng Ai caught up and asked in confusion.
Deng Mu said disapprovingly:"It's almost dinner time, of course I'm going to fill my stomach. Deng
Ai was stunned and quickly reminded:
"Brother, our army has just crossed the river, and the battle has not yet concluded. Wouldn't there be something wrong if we just went to eat?"
"The sky is big and the earth is big, eating and sleeping are the most important. Even if the sky falls, you have to eat first before talking!"
Deng Mu strode away.
Deng Ai shook his head and had no choice but to follow him.
"A war is coming, but the military advisor doesn't care about the war. Instead, he wants to eat first?"
"Well, the military advisor is very confident. It seems that this battle is stable..."
Sun Qian and others looked at each other and nodded secretly.
South Bank.
Liu Jun has approached the south bank in great strength.
A boat is coming at speed, and it is Wenpin himself. Board Liu Bei's ship and come to report military information
"My lord, my scouts have gone ashore to spy on you. Liu Biao has abandoned the water camp and formed a formation in the south of the camp to wait!"
Liu Bei's eyes flashed
"The military advisor guessed correctly. Liu Biao pretended to be real and retreated, hoping to attack us halfway! Liu
Bei then waved his hands and shouted:
"After the order was sent, each ship continued to move forward and landed as quickly as possible."
The order was passed, and the ships set sail and moved quickly.
Within half an hour, the first wave of nearly 10,000 Liu Jun infantry had landed on the south bank of the river.
Liu Bei took the lead, jumped off his horse and disembarked from the ship, and landed on the land on the south bank.
Ten thousand vanguard troops quickly formed a formation on the river beach to cover the following troops and continue to land.
Just as Liu Jun was halfway across the river, dust and mist rolled in from the south, covering the sky.
Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw only The 20,000 Jingzhou troops arrayed outside the camp were already in formation, rolling towards the river beach like a copper wall and an iron wall.
"My lord, the old traitor Liu Biao knows that our army is halfway across the river, and wants to use his advantage of twice the strength to drive our army down the Han River in one go!"
Wei Yan pointed his sword at the enemy and warned.
Liu Bei said with emotion:"Liu Biao's every move was expected by the military advisor. How can he be undefeated?"
After sighing, he burst into flames with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Wei Wenchang listens to the order!"
"I order you to lead your troops, sit in the middle, and fight to the death to stop the enemy!"
"Don't take even a step back without my order!"
Liu Bei had no doubts and handed over the most important line of frontal defense to this newly attached young general.
"If you take half a step back, I would like to raise your head to see you!"
Wei Yan's trust in Liu Bei was greatly inspired, and he accepted the order with great enthusiasm.
"The battle flag with the word"Wei" is raised over the central formation.
Ten thousand soldiers, holding on to their swords and guns, tightening their armor, are ready for battle. A hundred steps away, twenty thousand Jingzhou has been pushed forward in a mighty manner.
"Alien, as you expected"
"Liu Bei was arrogant and conceited. He ignored me and had 20,000 infantry, and forced his way ashore!"
Liu Biao, who was sitting high on his horse, looked at Liu Jun who had landed ashore in the distance, with a look of sarcasm on his old face.
It was as if Cai Mao had been captured and the dark cloud of the navy's destruction had now been swept away.
"Lord, the enemy flag rising in the middle is the Wei flag."
"Liu Bei actually ordered the traitor Wei Yan to sit in front of him!"
Kuai Yue pointed at the enemy formation and said.
Liu Biao looked carefully and found that it was exactly what Kuai Yue said.
Burning anger instantly burned in his eyes.
"This lowly traitor, if he hadn't taken refuge with the big-eared thief, how could I have lost Fancheng and been forced to where I am today!"
"Send the order and kill Wei Yan, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins! Liu
Biao was so angry that he promised a heavy reward. With his sword in his hand, Liu Biao would take advantage of Liu's army to cross the border and attack with the whole army, and crush Liu Bei's 10,000-man army in one fell swoop.
"Lord, calm down!"
"It is said that Liu Bei has nearly 2,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. This is Liu Bei's magic weapon for winning in field battles!"
"Now I look at the enemy army, but I don't see this cavalry figure. I guess it must be the big-eared thief who ordered this wolf cavalry to sneak elsewhere.."
"The purpose must be to take advantage of our army's massive pressure to attack my flank with cavalry and catch us off guard!"
"This must be Deng Mu's vicious plan again!"
Kuai Yue stopped Liu Biao's impulse and reminded him calmly.
Liu Biao was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
Although his Jingzhou army was large, what they lacked most was cavalry.
Two thousand cavalry sounds like a small amount. , if used properly, not to mention his 20,000 troops, even an army of 100,000 can be easily defeated.
"Deng Mu is so cunning and cunning!"
"Fortunately, you saw through his trick, otherwise I would have rushed the entire army and the consequences would have been disastrous! Liu
Biao gritted his teeth and cursed, and immediately calmed down.
Kuai Yue raised the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands and sneered:
"The lord can order the main force to attack Liu Bei head-on, but leave five thousand elite troops to suppress the formation. Once the enemy cavalry appears, they can immediately change their formation to block it!"
"As long as we can change our formation in time and shoot with strong bows and crossbows, even the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will not be afraid!"
After all, Kuai Yue was the number one counselor in Jingzhou. He thought he had seen through Deng Mu's plan, so he offered countermeasures.
"Okay, okay, just line up your troops as Xido said!"
Liu Biao nodded and praised, his conceited eyes shot towards where Liu Bei was.
"Liu Bei, although you have Deng Mu who is cunning and cunning, not all of my men are mediocre."
"Today I will use the tactics of my number one counselor in Jingzhou to defeat the vicious scheme of your humble counselor!"
The order was passed down.
More than 15,000 Jingzhou infantry troops pressed toward Liu Jun's landing force.
The 5,000 elite Chinese army remained stationary and sat behind them.
Arrows rained down from the air, and both sides shot at each other with sharp arrows..
The Jingzhou legion raised their large shields high and, urged by Liu Biao, advanced fiercely. In a moment, the two armies collided. Screams suddenly broke out, and streams of blood flew into the air.
A fierce fighting began.
The Jingzhou army had a numerical advantage and had a slight tendency to attack. The Liu army's formation was shaken in an instant.
Especially in the front direction.
Liu Biao pressed down nearly 8,000 soldiers and attacked Wei Yan's troops like crazy. Wei
Yansuo withstood it.
With three thousand steps, martial arts and outstanding generals, he withstood the crazy attack of the Jingzhou Army. The center line did not retreat even half a step.
But Liu Jun on the two wings However, under the impact of the Jingzhou Army, they were forced to move back step by step.
The original horizontal formation was gradually forced into an arc formation.
At this time, the following 10,000 horses had not yet reached the river beach. There was no time to land for reinforcements.
If the situation continues as it is, it seems that before long, the 10,000 Liu troops who have landed will be pushed down the Han River.
But there is no trace of panic on Liu Bei's face.
When his eyes look, To the southwest, a cloud of dust rose up covering the sky, and I couldn't help but laugh. The dust soared into the sky and rolled in!
Needless to say, it must be the Bingzhou wolf cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao who arrived.
The Jingzhou army was in the middle.
Liu Biao almost at the same time, I also saw the violent dust coming from the southeast.
This formation would require at least two to three thousand cavalry to move wildly.
"Xingdu, as you expected, the big-eared thief really ordered the cavalry to sneak across and plan to attack my flank!"
"Are all my subordinates, Liu Biao, ordinary people?"
Liu Bian looked pleased and looked at Kuai Yue with a smile.
Kuai Yue stroked his short beard and a long-lost proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As the head of the Kuai family and the number one counselor in Jingzhou, he has been the leader since his battle of wits with Deng Mu. Every battle must be defeated.
Today, I can finally feel proud for a while.
Kuai Yue smiled coldly and cupped his hand to Liu Biao:
"Lord, change your formation immediately and severely injure Liu Bei's cavalry."
"Let Deng Mu know that a poor family will be a poor family after all, and your all-out plan ends here. Liu
Biao laughed loudly and immediately shouted:
"Wang Wei listened to the order and immediately led the Chinese army to change formations and head east, inflicting heavy losses on me and attacking the enemy's cavalry!"
The order was passed down.
Wang Wei immediately accepted the order, commanded five thousand Chinese troops, and immediately changed his formation and headed east. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The big shield bearers formed an iron wall in front, with spears Handed out from the gap in the shield, a dense wall of blades was formed.
More than two thousand crossbowmen, bows and arrows, were ready to go.
The formation was ready.
Liu Biao stroked his short beard with a sneer on his face, preparing to admire Liu Bei. The Bingzhou cavalry was shot to the point of being turned upside down.
All their attention was concentrated on the southeast.
However, they were unaware that another dust mist was approaching silently from the west.
Liu Jun was in the army.
Liu Bei's brows had already furrowed, and a dark cloud flashed in his eyes.
From the southeast, dust and mist rolled in, which meant that Zhang Liao's wolf cavalry had launched an assault.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Biao was not all The army pressed forward, but they still had a back-up force.
The five thousand Chinese army immediately changed their formations and protected the right wing in time!
"Liu Biao didn't attack with his entire army?"
"Could it be that Kuai Yue actually saw through Zi Yu's plan?"
The thoughts in Liu Bei's mind were rolling, and his nerves suddenly became tense.
If this is true, and Liu Biao was prepared in advance, the Wolf Cavalry's flank attack would be meaningless.
On the frontal front, Liu Biao relied on his advantage of having more troops to defeat him. The defense line was compressed into an arc.
If this continues, isn't there a tendency for defeat?
"The military strategist has every plan, but did he miscalculate this time?"
This unbelievable thought came to Liu Bei's mind.
At this moment,
Hu Che'er beside him shouted:
"Lord, look, the dust and mist are rising from the northwest, it seems like another cavalry is coming!"
Liu Bei was shocked and anxiously followed what Hu Che'er expected.
Sure enough, the second dust mist came from the northwest, roared along the bank of the Han River towards the battlefield.
The dust mist came very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was Countless cavalrymen rushed out of the dust and mist
""Zhang" character flag!
It was Commander Zhang Liao's wolf cavalry who came to kill
"This, this..."
Liu Bei was stunned, with endless confusion and confusion on his face.
It was clear that the wolf cavalry was attacking from the southeast, why did Zhang Liao appear in the northwest again?
Two wolf cavalry appeared out of thin air?
Liu Bei Suddenly, he thought he had been blinded. He rubbed his eyes anxiously and looked again.
In his field of vision, two thousand wolf cavalry, led by Zhang Liao Banner, were approaching from the northwest.
In the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the Jingzhou Army. Behind!
It is confirmed that it is his two thousand wolf cavalry!
"Why did two wolf cavalry appear? What on earth is going on?"
Liu Bei's face was filled with a look of surprise and confusion.
At this moment,
Zhang Liao was riding his horse and drawing his sword, commanding two thousand horsemen to run like lightning.
Looking at the unsuspecting enemy army, Zhang Liao was relieved, and there was a deep feeling of admiration on his face. color
"The military advisor is really a man of gods, and he actually calculated that Liu Biao would prevent our cavalry from attacking."
"`.Liu Biao, old thief, you think you have seen through the military advisor's plan, but you never would have guessed that the military advisor has another trick for me..."
Zhang Liao sighed in his heart, and a sarcastic sneer flashed from the corner of his eyes.
Then, with murderous intent, he slashed his sword. One finger:
"Wolf Cavalry obeyed the order and followed me to defeat the Jingzhou Army and capture the old thief Liu Biao alive.——"
The fighting spirit of the two thousand wolf riders was instantly exploded.
They roared and roared, urging their horses to rush towards the unsuspecting enemy like a violent storm.
Jingzhou Chinese Army.
Liu Biao, who was facing the southeast and prepared to watch the excitement, finally heard the movement behind him.
When he slowly turned around and saw the scene in front of him, his whole body froze.
Countless iron cavalry, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, rushed from behind him
"Wolf Rider?"
"Is it Liu Bei's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?"
"How is this possible? The Wolf Cavalry is clearly in the southeast, why does it appear in the northwest?"
"This is impossible, impossible!"
Kuai Yue also changed his face in shock, and the proud and conceited expression on his face was instantly replaced by endless astonishment.
The two principals and ministers fell into a state of shock and confusion.
Just when they were stunned and lost their minds, the wolf rider was already like a storm. , crashed into the central army commanded by Wang Wei.
They were arrayed with their backs, and all their attention was focused on the southeast. They didn't come back to their senses until the iron cavalry behind them ran over them.
"The enemy is riding behind us!"
"Change quickly and head west!"
The frightened Wang Wei hurriedly turned his horse around, brandished his sword and shouted hoarsely. The frightened Jingzhou army hurriedly turned around.
It was too late.
The wolf cavalry came too suddenly and did not give them a chance to change their formation. They rushed in.
Before they could recover, the Jingzhou soldiers were knocked to the ground like paper.
Ghosts cried and wolves howled, and blood mist rose into the sky. The five thousand Chinese army was only attacked by a single Wolf Cavalry. Being blocked and broken apart, they fell apart.
"Form a formation, no chaos, come and fight the enemy for me——"
Wang Wei waved his long knife and shouted hoarsely.
At this time.
In the direction facing him, Zhang Liao had already mounted his horse and drawn his sword, roaring towards him like a god of death.
"Die!"
With a sharp roar, Zhang Liao's long sword was like lightning, slashing across the air.
When Wang Wei was shocked, the blade was already coming towards him.
It was already late when he raised his sword to resist.
"Click!"
(Qian Le Zhao) Wang Wei's head fell to the ground.
Zhang Liao passed by on the wrong horse, struck again with his sword, and chopped down the flag with the word"王" on it to the ground.
When the flag fell, the Jingzhou army's morale collapsed and they collapsed.
The Chinese army collapsed.
The main force of the Jingzhou Army, which was attacking Liu Jun on the river bank, saw that the Chinese army was lost and its retreat was blocked. The morale of the army was immediately in chaos. collapse!
The morale of nearly 20,000 Jingzhou troops collapsed and they collapsed in the face of the wind.
"how so?"
"My 20,000-strong army was defeated so inexplicably?"
"Then what method did Liu Bei use to conjure two cavalry?"
Liu Biao looked at the collapsed army and muttered to himself in a daze, with endless sorrow and confusion in his eyes.
Kuai Yue took a long breath and said sadly:
"This must be Deng Mu's trick. Yue can't see through it. This man's wisdom is far superior to mine!"
"Lord, the situation is over, retreat to Xiangyang!"
Liu Biao was shocked suddenly, and the sadness on his face turned into deep despair.
"Do we really think that no one in Jingzhou is Deng Mu’s opponent?"
"I, Liu Biao, am I really going to let that mat weaver and shoe seller take away my inheritance?"
Liu Biao let out a long and sad sigh, and then waved his hands feebly:
"The situation is over. Send an order to retreat to Xiangyang.~~"
So Liu Biao fled in panic surrounded by his guards.
Twenty thousand Jingzhou troops were killed, and blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were scattered all over the field.
Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack and advanced towards Xiangyang City.
When the sun sets in the west.
The two armies of infantry and cavalry met in the north of Xiangyang City.
"Wen Yuan, what is going on, and where did the second line of cavalry come from?"
As soon as Liu Bei met him, he couldn't wait to ask Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao smiled:"My lord, where can there be another group of cavalry? This is the master plan of the military counselor!""
With that said,
Zhang Liao took out the brochure bag from his arms and presented the secret plan in silk script to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took it with curiosity and couldn't wait to take a closer look.
The truth was revealed. Liu Bei took a breath and exclaimed:
"With such a simple method, Liu Biao can be deceived easily. The military advisor is truly a god!".
