"The yellow character of the banner should be the yellow cover in Jiangdongying!" Scouts would have seen the smell speech immediately replied.
"explore again!" Hu Zhi waved his hand, and the scouts turned the horse’s head and went to the horse’s belly.
The scout didn’t go there until soon after, and another rider rushed to the front of Hu and said, "Report! The enemy is ten miles away! "
"What? They stopped? " Hu Zhi frowned unexpectedly and turned to the lieutenant and asked, "Is it some trick of Huang Gai?"
The lieutenant mused, "I think it’s only when we find out that our army is out of the city."
Hu laughed at a heart or thought that if Huang Gai knew that our army would go out of the city to fight, he might regroup, but now stopping ten miles away is not just a temporary rest. Surely Huang Gai is also preparing to attack himself.
It’s an enemy striker, but they dare to take the initiative to attack themselves by riding such a few troops in more than a thousand steps. Why should they?
But soon Hu Zhi knew what Huang Gai was made of.
Small-scale contact between the scouts of both sides was inevitable, and soon Huang Gai and his men appeared. At a glance, Hu Hu could see that the enemy was riding the vanguard of each half cavalry, followed by the gunners. If expected, there should be one or two hundred archers.
However, when the more than 500 cavalry charged, Hu Zhi immediately realized that he might have made a mistake. When he sent his own archers out to throw arrows at the enemy, Jingzhou army cavalry had already galloped up, billowing smoke and clouds filled the horseshoe like rolling thunder.
"shoot!" With a shout of drums and drums, followed by rapid drums and archers shooting arrows, the bowstring vibration also "buzzed".
It seems that the dense arrows pounced on the enemy cavalry, but the enemy suddenly divided into two teams, one left and one right, to avoid the rain of arrows and kill the two wings of Cao Jun respectively.
Hu Zhi frowned, and his flanks were all arranged with spearmen just to prevent being killed by enemy cavalry, but the enemy riders turned a blind eye. Aren’t they afraid of being assassinated by dense spears?
"General, the enemy seems to be a light cavalry of Jingzhou Army!" Side lieutenant sharp eyes looked at hurriedly wake up way
Hu’s heart is broken! How did you forget this crop? As far as he knows, Jingzhou army hussars can not only kill footmen with horsepower, but also throw arrows. Although this is not difficult for Hu Zhi, he is a general in the army. It is difficult for him to make up 300 people out of these 2,000 troops. What about the other party? More than five hundred hussars are all like this!
"Knife shield hands raise shields to both sides!" No sooner had he shouted this sentence than he knew it was late.
Through rolling up the smoke and beard, I saw that the enemy cavalry rushed to the flank and had bent their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at their spearmen.
With a burst of dense arrows breaking the wings, the spearmen screamed and fell down a large area. In terms of casualties, the arrows shot by these 500 riders did not cause any heavy casualties, but the blow was extremely serious for the morale of Cao Jun. Some people even retreated after attacking with arrows.
"Those who dare to retreat without authorization will be beheaded!" Hu Zhi saw him and shouted that he was most worried about being impulsive by the enemy. If the deserters were not dealt with decisively, it would probably lead to the army’s disintegration.
Although Hu Zhi’s command was timely, the formation of the two wings has been shaken, especially when the Jingzhou army cavalry rushed to the crowd and slashed the sharp sabre left and right, the two-wing footmen inevitably collapsed. After Huang Gai led the footmen to kill them head-on, Hu Zhi took the initiative to lead the department to bypass the right-wing beaten army and fled directly in the direction of Yin Ling. After the right-wing soldiers failed to resist for too long, they mostly knelt down and surrendered to the West Quyang World War I, but Hu Zhi finally led most of his troops to escape. For him, only the strength is the first.
☆, Chapter 19 Stand tall and push the game.
After a heavy rain at night, the roof was covered with tiles, and the rain made Liu Cong sleep more deeply. The news that the grain delivery team was attacked by Cao Jun and Taishi Ci led the rescue team to kill the enemy made the soldiers in Liyang City, Jiangyong, rather regretful-if they set off as soon as possible, they might just be able to catch up? However, some people still hold their breath. They know that the Huaihe River War is not only about the remaining cities in Jiujiang County, but also a fierce battle to be fought.
Liyang City is like a big military camp street. From time to time, you can see teams of foot soldiers going out of the city. At the same time, more army horses are pouring in from the south gate. Some people scream and walk over the rickety pedals, and some people fall into the water, causing a dazzling splash. The children are laughing and drilling around in the crowd, and they are curious to watch the chatter. The grass on both sides of the dock is tall and mixed with stars and wildflowers. The water slowly flows in the breeze, and the fish jumps out of the water as if frightened.
Liu Cong’s south gate tower overlooks the boatmen, shouting and cursing at each other, threatening to wave their browned fists. The planks on both sides of the ship were unloaded, and the slender wooden paddles were erected like javelins. The batters on both sides of the ship’s side were also hung up and tied tightly, and the load-bearing stones could not be seen. I think I received the mast hanging high in the cabin, the sun was lazy, and the civilian worker was hanging down with bags of food. When I walked from the springboard, I walked like ants carrying heavy objects, walking in the shadow of the sail.
Bundles of arrows unloaded from the ship were piled up because they didn’t come with carriages. Those brand-new long guns and spears made the generals who came to receive them happy, grinning, and even some people took them out and nodded their heads with satisfaction, saying something to the ordnance campers.
One day, Liu Cong thought that these ring knives, spears and spears will all be turned into plows, shovels and other agricultural tools. They will feed people instead of killing people in the future.
However, the present scene still makes Liu Cong have an inexplicable awe, which is the war. He has promoted all this, making so many people leave their homes, wearing heavy armor, clutching carefully built weapons and throwing them into bloody battles.
A rush of footsteps interrupted Liu Cong’s thoughts. Wang Can presented a treasure like a military intelligence. Liu Cong glanced at the exhibition and said with a little doubt, "Did you take Xiquyang so soon?"
Wang Can nodded his head and didn’t answer it. It was sent by Zhou Yupai. Naturally, there won’t be false.
Bretz doesn’t doubt that the military intelligence is true or false. He feels a little too smooth, so he is vaguely worried
The number of troops stationed by Cao Jun in several cities on the south bank of Huaihe River was roughly known by the special guard battalion before, and the war plan of the staff office was also based on this. However, the war is not static, and Cao Jun can also give up some places to strengthen the defense in some places. What’s more, there are so many unpredictable difficulties that the enemy may adopt various tactics.
Considering the difficulty of crossing the river in this era, maybe Cao Jun will stick to the Yin Ling and less clock, otherwise he will lose the support of the south bank of Huaihe River and lose the opportunity to make trouble for Jiujiang County.
If the war plan is made according to the Staff Office, Zhou Yu will send Huang Gai’s main vanguard troops to harass the troops stationed in West Quyang City. When Ling Tong and others arrive, they will besiege the exhibition of West Quyang. At the same time, Zhou Yu himself will lead the main force to attack the exhibition of West Quyang. On whether or not he will go to reinforce the west Quyang before the arrival of Cao Jun, this place close to the south bank of Huaihe River will be stormed. If Cao Jun reinforces the west Quyang from Dangtu and Yinling, then Huang Gai and others can ambush the reinforcements during the siege, and Zhou Yu’s attack on Dangtu will inevitably be easier.
However, Hu Zhi, who was guarding Xiquyang, abandoned the city with a slight setback and went into confusion. So what will happen next?
Bretz is holding the military intelligence hand and pressing the railing of the tower, silently deducing in his heart.
The noise in the city seems to be a little smaller. The ships that have unloaded their supplies have left, but there are still many ships moored nearby. A group of cavalry lined up and marched towards the gate. They all rode the tall gods, and the red tassels of zebra helmets fluttered. As they marched, the cavalry looked around. They were all big and strong men, with their armor and spears shining in the sun. They laughed and looked happy while scratching their beards. They looked at the pawns wearing leather armor and holding spears proudly.
The people near the crowded city gate consciously retreated, although a spacious road has been made. I don’t know which unlucky guy broke free from the owner’s bamboo basket and jumped to the road with flapping wings. There was a burst of laughter and a little commotion.
The dozen cavalry entered the city, followed by a long carriage procession, and the roadside people marveled at the high pile of ordnance and hay and talked about the war.
"I’m afraid I’m going to hit Xudu directly this time!" A businessman stroked his beautiful beard and said with certainty
However, some people don’t think so. It’s a farmer with a short stature and a lame leg. A scar on his cheek makes him look fierce, but even if he retorted, he said it was very polite. "I want to come this time, but I don’t want to beat Xu Du."
The businessman didn’t like it, but turned his head and saw a flash of surprise in the scar on this man’s face. He was also very polite and said, "Is that enough?"
"If Xu Du sent troops directly from Nanyang, why should he send troops from Jiujiang County?" The farmer’s face was tanned and gave a smile. It was that scar that made him smile rather ferocious.
The businessman was curious. "So the general wants to wipe out Jiujiang first? But instead of sending troops from Nanyang to get permission directly, do you have to waste so much effort to fight here? "
"I didn’t know that we didn’t account for Shouchun last year? But if you don’t take the cities of Yinling, Zhongli, Dangtu, etc. for shouchun, how can you make people feel at ease? " The farmer explained with a good temper
The businessman nodded thoughtfully and asked what crowd was moving forward. If it wasn’t for the servant’s support, it would almost be squeezed down.
For ordinary people, whether the war is far or near, the day will always pass, but it is beyond their control. However, for Liu Cong, he must consider what the result of this war will bring.
Soldiers want military merit, they want to reward civilians, and they taste it, don’t they Once the expansion step is taken, it will stop.
Liu Cong knows exactly where his advantages lie. Compared with places like Central Plains and Central Xuzhou, which have been ravaged by war, the bottom of Jingzhou is very good. With a large population, Liu Cong doesn’t have to worry about the source of soldiers or the harvest. Unless it is a large-scale flood like a few years ago, he can always stabilize the overall situation through deployment, and the long-term confrontation with Cao Cao and Liu Bei will make his advantages more and more obvious.
"West Quyang is about to attack Yin Ling in one step." Fa Zheng hurried to the rostrum after learning the news and said to Liu Cong, "If Jun sticks to Yin Ling and sends troops to counterattack West Quyang, the army will be in danger of being broken."
After narrowing her eyes and remembering the map in her mind for a moment, Liu Cong said to Fazheng, "I don’t want to come to Gong Jin so carelessly. I’m worried that it’s not here, but Coss simply gave up Huainan and even Dongcheng to introduce our army into Guangling War."
"Give up Yin Ling and other places may be Dongcheng Yao …" Fa Zheng shook his head. "If you give up Dongcheng Guangling, wouldn’t it be a big door? What if Cao Ren led our army into Guangling? "
This speculation is not very sure that Liu Cong just feels this way. From the terrain, Dangtu, Yinling and Zhong are close to each other and are like an equilateral triangle, but if one place can be breached, the other two places are not difficult to take.
