Chapter five hundred and seventeenth
When Yuan Tan personally led his army to the Mishui River, he saw a battlefield after a fierce battle. The blood was fertile for miles, and the bodies of thousands of Yuan army soldiers were placed in a row. The only one standing was a flag with the character "field".
Yuan Tan stepped forward quickly, and under the flag, Tian Kai lay on the ground. He had three severe injuries on his body, and countless light injuries. The wound was already covered with black blood stasis, and he had already died of anger.
Yuan Tan's eyes were bloodshot and his mood was extremely manic. Tian Kai was his confidant general, and Mi had more than 20,000 troops. How could he be destroyed like this? Half an hour ago, he saw the scout from Tian Kai's army. Yuan Tan asked someone to search in the venue, and finally found several slightly injured soldiers and asked the whole story.
Just as Tian Kai's troops were fully defying the enemy on the other side of Mishui, a sudden change occurred. Two Zhou troops were lurking on the left and right sides of their troops. They escaped the search of the scouts of the Ji army and suddenly broke out at the most critical moment. The Ji army, whose chaotic team was attacked on three sides. Although General Tian Kai fought bravely to kill the enemy, his morale began to disintegrate under the enemy's fierce attack and was finally defeated. General Tian Kai was killed in battle, and about 4,000 people were killed, and the rest surrendered.
Yuan Tan was upset that his rescue was late and that Tian Kai's troops were destroyed, a scout quickly reported: "General, Gaomi City has been captured by the enemy! The defender surrendered to the enemy!"
Yuan Tan's face suddenly turned from red to blue. The food, grass and supplies that were fought in this army were stationed in Gaomi City. He also specially arranged 5,000 troops to defend it. Unexpectedly, the Zhou army commanded by Chen Gong was elusive and did not fight according to the rules. He besieged Tian Kai's troops and successfully attacked Gaomi. Now that the food and grass were all lost, the 50,000 generals he brought were like waterless. They must make quick decisions to attack or withdraw.
"I will order my army to turn around immediately and withdraw back to Linzi!" Yuan Tan is worthy of being Yuan Shao's eldest son. He is a model and acts quite decisively. After leaving hundreds of people to clean the battlefield and bury the bodies, Yuan Tan's army then set off and headed towards Linzi.
In the camp outside Guandu City, Zhou Yu received a war report from Qingzhou and said happily to the left and right: "Mr. Chen's strategy is the best in the world. With the help of the four generals Guan Hai, Zhou Tai, Sun Ben and Cao Bao, how could Yuan Tan be his opponent?"
Jia Xu took the battle report, looked at it and pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Lord, let me know if I have a three-point Qingzhou army. When I inform Gongtai, don't rush to the east to capture Donglai, Langya and other counties. It is important to hold back and eliminate the main force of Yuan Tan's army. Yuan Tan will definitely ask Yuan Shao for help, otherwise Qingzhou will be out of protection and forced Yuan Shao to divide his troops, so the pressure on our army here can be reduced."
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Wenhe's words are very good. Where is Cao Yang?"
Cao Yang bowed and replied, "The last one is here!"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Send a scout to inform Lord Chen to concentrate his troops to advance to Linzi. Never divide the troops. Be sure to delay Yuan Tan's troops. If there is a fighter opportunity, one of them can be eliminated and not annihilated. Only in this way can Yuan Shao divide his troops from Liyang to rescue Qingzhou."
After Cao Yang left, Zhou Yu said to Jia Xu again: "Mr. Wenhe, General Wang Yue's troops have been assembled and hidden in the Dongping area. When the fighter plane arrives, he will cross the river!"
"Great!" Jia Xu said, "The three generals Wang Yue, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao are all bravest in the three armies and have martial arts. Although the Lujiang Camp and Bingzhou Camp only have 30,000 troops, they are all elite. Some time ago, they have defeated all counties in Yanzhou and surrendered. Just wait for Yuan Shao's army to pass the white horse and Yanjin, and confront our army in Guandu, and then they can send troops!"
Speaking of this, Jia Xu's eyes rolled a few times and said to Zhou Yu with a smile: "Lord, you still have an important chess piece in your hand. When will you take action?"
Zhou Yu laughed and replied: "According to Mr. Wenhe's plan, the second brother and General Zhang Yun led 10,000 Jinfan Army soldiers to set off from Moling five days ago. General Pan Zhang's Dongjun camp and General Zulang's Shanyue camp also entered the sea with the warships. If nothing unexpected happens, they will go north along the sea route and will arrive at Jieshi ten days later!"
"It's good to have a strong army..." Jia Xu stood with a happy face, with his hands behind his back, and said with a slight regret, "The Yuan Shao family has four generations and three masters, and they are very glorious. He is a hero of a generation, but he is stubborn and short-sighted. He does not listen to Tian Feng and Ju Shu's words. As a result, he misses the opportunity to grow and grow. If this battle is defeated by our army, I'm afraid he will never have a day to turn over..."
Zhou Yu said confidently: "Mr. Wenhe must remove the word "if" and this battle... our army will win!"
White Horse Ferry.
On the surging Yellow River, hundreds of ships carried Yuan army soldiers to the south bank. In the sun, the brass armor they wore reflected a yellow color, which looked very majestic.
High above the north bank, the brothers of Yuan Shang's generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, sat upright on the horse's back with a cold eyes. As the vanguard of Yuan Shao's army, they led 20,000 troops from Liyang and collected all the ships within dozens of miles of the north bank of the Yellow River. Today, they began to cross the Yellow River.
"Brother, look at the Zhou army on the other side, the camping formation is relatively rigorous, so he thinks he is a powerful figure." Lu Xiang said with some concern.
Lu Kuang couldn't help but stick out his tongue and licked his thick lips, as if the prey on the other side of the river was about to be found. He smiled and said, "You and my brothers are all in Hebei. What kind of powerful people have you never seen? Lu Su Lu Zijing, Huangkou Chia! Besides, our 20,000 vanguards are all elite soldiers. Second brother, don't be ambitious and destroy your own majesty!"
Lu Xiang's brows still frowned slightly, and Lu Kuang pointed at the horse whip in his hand and said, "Look! Our army has been halfway through, and the enemy has not responded yet. In another half an hour, our army will be able to land successfully!"
Compared with the turbulent river water elsewhere, the current in the Baima section is relatively gentle and the river surface is wider, which is suitable for the army to ferry. On the front ship, a junior Yuan Jun held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, standing upright. The cool breeze blew towards him, and he widened his leopard eyes and tried hard to search for the changes in the enemy situation on the opposite shore.
"Our army crosses the river in a big way, why is the enemy still not responding?" Yuan Junjiao, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, felt strange in his heart. In a while, a sudden change occurred. Without any warning, huge rocks suddenly flew out from the Zhou army camp on the shore, and with a whistling sound, he rushed straight to Yuan Jun who was crossing the river!
The school felt a stern, what should come is coming is coming!
