Jimei Lu of the Three Kingdoms

"Yuan Shao, after crossing Mishui, your vanguard must not advance as before. Liangfu County is only [-] miles away from Mishui, and Liangfu County is the southern barrier of Fenggao City."

Fenggao City, the capital of Taishan County, is surrounded in the middle by four counties: Ying County in the north, Mou County in the east, Liangfu County in the south, and Bo County in the west.

If you want to attack Fenggao City, you must first open these four barriers.

Among the four counties, Liangfu County is particularly difficult to attack.

The city is not big, but it is backed by Youlai Mountain and built on the mountain, so it is not afraid of siege, and Youlai Mountain is not tall. Fenggao City can send reinforcements to carry supplies to support Liangfu City at any time. more attack

The difficulty of Liangfu County.

Before Zhao Siye invaded Taishan County, he naturally did his homework before the war.

Among the three armies of the Lin Army, Yunziying had the most flexible target. In the first battle from Lu County to Taishan County, they could choose to attack any one of Nanwuyang and Chengxian County.

Take Nanwuyang, cross Mengshan, and cross Mishui, you can attack Liangfu County, the southern barrier of Fenggao City.

To defeat Cheng County, you can go east along the Wenshui River, directly under the city of Bo County, and attack the western barrier of Fenggao City.

Both routes can be chosen, and in the end Zhao Siye chose the attack route of attacking Nanwuyang City first and then Liangfu City.

There is no other reason, but because Zhao Siye is not good at water warfare, and he is worried that he will be attacked by Cao Jun's water army while marching along Wenshui River.

Right now, the Yunzi Battalion is approaching the bank of the Mishui River, as long as they cross the Mishui River, they can directly attack Liangfu County, so fourth master Zhao is also a little excited right now.

The military situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Zhao Siye doesn't want to end up capsized in the gutter before joining forces with the other two armies at Fenggao City, leaving an eternal laughingstock.

Reminding Pei Yuanshao is also to ensure safety during and after crossing the river. If you are attacked by the enemy in the middle of the crossing, don't talk about seeking victory in defeat. It is already a miracle to win a small defeat, and it is even more likely Even if half of the soldiers who crossed the river were wiped out by the enemy, the troops crossing the river would die in the river if they were not killed by the enemy. Only a small number of lucky ones who did not have time to cross the river, but their morale fell to the bottom of the valley, and they did not come to court. Dasan deserves to be called the hero of the world.

When Pei Yuanshao got the reminder from Fourth Master Zhao, he naturally understood.

"Don't worry, Fourth Master, when we start crossing the river, I will lead my troops to escort the transportation team to cross the river first. Even if there is an enemy attack, I can use the transportation team to set up a defensive formation and support the entire army until the river is crossed."

Fourth Master Zhao nodded: "Yuan Shao has worked so hard. After this battle is over, I will definitely show you my merits in front of Third Brother."

Pei Yuanshao became a little less interested when he heard the words.

"Fourth master, to be honest, I lost my lord to the lord in Youzhou in the north. As the commander of the personal guard battalion, I was captured alive by the enemy general on the battlefield. This is not only a shame for me personally, but also for the whole family. The shame of Weiying. It is a pity that I will never have the opportunity to follow the lord again. If this is the case, let me do my best on the battlefield. If I can be loyal to the lord, I will do my part. It’s really true Not what I'm after now."

After finishing speaking, Pei Yuanshao shook the silk rein in his hand vigorously, and urged the horse to rush up the pontoon bridge, and the whole army was the first to step on the north bank of Mishui.

The pontoon bridge built by the Vanguard Army was four or five feet wide, allowing seven or eight soldiers to cross the bridge side by side at the same time. The Yunzi Camp had no more than [-] troops, and it took them all to cross the Mishui River in less than two hours.

After Pei Yuanshao crossed the river, he galloped his horse forward and ran in a circle of about three or four miles to detect whether the north bank of the river was safe.

Chapter 431 Yan Yan Zhang Tian

After a rough reconnaissance, Pei Yuanshao returned to the river bank and waved to the other side of the river to signal safety.

Zhao Siye waved his hand, and the convoy pushed carts and oxcarts onto the pontoon bridge one by one, and crossed the Mishui River slowly and carefully.

Yunziying was halfway across the river, and Pei Yuanshao gradually relaxed, a little lost in thought, and began to think about attacking Liangfu County.

According to Pei Yuanshao's instructions, the supply battalion used all kinds of carts and ox carts to set up a temporary defensive position at a position about 150 steps away from the bridgehead of the pontoon bridge. , staring vigilantly at the unobstructed Yimapingchuan ahead.

At the same time, there are still a lot of heavy soldiers who are constantly digging holes in front of and behind the cart formation to build trenches and horse traps to deal with cavalry raids.

Although the series of layouts were a bit chaotic, they basically took into account all possible situations that might be encountered.

Seeing that the two sides of the Mishui River are in order, Mr. Zhao is not afraid of any accidents. At that moment, his legs are clamped on the horse's belly, and his knees are pressed against the iron beam. He is about to urge the horse to step on the pontoon bridge. This general crossed the river to preside over military affairs, giving the whole battalion a reassurance.

Before the Bailongju could move forward, the north bank of the Mishui River was suddenly bombarded with artillery fire. Layers of wooden boards filled with green seedlings and mud were thrown up on the flat ground that was originally empty. Countless Cao soldiers burst into loud shouts. Sound, the flood generally kills Yunziying.

The closest hidden ditch to the cart array arranged by Yunziying was only fifty steps away. Pei Yuanshao's gaze swept over there more than once, but he didn't even see the slightest flaw.

The forward battalion in charge of the defense of the Yunzi battalion was obviously a little flustered by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

They didn't immediately shoot the sharp arrows in their hands at the killing Cao Jun, but subconsciously turned around and tried to escape back to the south bank of Mishui.

Pei Yuanshao was so angry that his seven orifices burst into flames.

This group of bastards usually trained well, but unexpectedly became dizzy in actual combat, and completely lost his old Pei's face.

Just as he was urging his horse and wielding his sword to fight, Pei Yuanshao suddenly heard Zhao Siye's call from the south bank of Mishui.

"Yuan Shao, don't be greedy for meritorious deeds, our army is suddenly attacked by the enemy, we should focus on safety, and lead the army back to the south bank first!"

Old Pei showed reluctance: "Fourth Master, our defense line has not been breached yet, I want to try to fight first."

Fourth Master Zhao was almost vomited blood by Lao Pei's anger: "Nonsense, don't you hear the principle of 'If you save land, you will lose all people's land; if you save people and lose land, all people and land will remain'?" Haven't you heard the teaching of the third brother? Let the brothers withdraw and talk about it!"

"But our army has already crossed the river. If there is any loss, our army will be in a state of food shortage."

When Lao Pei and Zhao Siye were quarreling across the river, Cao Jun took advantage of the first wave of arrow rain to rush to the defensive formation of Yunziying, and the fast runner was already holding the cart side with his hands and preparing to climb over. .

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Lao Pei could only quickly organize a group of soldiers who hadn't been frightened to form a circular defensive formation, and began to cover the evacuation of his comrades who had no fighting intentions.

When Cao Hong and Yu Jin urged the horses to lead the cavalry to arrive, most of the Yunziying soldiers had withdrawn to the north bank, and the remaining four or five hundred soldiers who persisted until the end turned their backs to the Mishui River and slowly retreated to the river. pontoon.

On the other side of the river, under the organization of Zhao Siye and Lao Pei, nearly a thousand archers lined up on the river bank, with bows and arrows, ready to cover their family back from the pontoon bridge at any time.

Cao Hong lifted the reins, rode his horse to the bank of the Mishui River, and faced Lin Jun across the river. He did not order the army to crush the small group of Lin Jun who were still slowly retreating on the pontoon bridge at this time.

The archers of the Yunzi Camp on the opposite bank were already in place. Even if Cao Jun wanted to eat this army of Lin Jun on the pontoon bridge, the price they would have to pay would not be lower than that of Lin Jun.

That's why Cao Hong graciously let go of the Yunzi Battalion troops in the back of the palace, and it is not suitable for the price to eat them.

"Hey, someone is Cao Hong, the North Sweeping General under Prime Minister Cao's account, and someone from the other side came out who meant what he said."

Lao Pei yelled across the river: "I don't think I fell for your tricks. Let's admit defeat today. When the whole army fights again tomorrow, it's not yet known who will die."

Cao Hong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "At the beginning of setting up an ambush here, I never thought that I could defeat one of the five main forces of the Lin Army in a single battle. I originally wanted to swallow half of the Yunzi Battalion, but unexpectedly, your commander is also cautious. Be careful, you did a good job of crossing the river to defend. Although you failed to kill a large number of your army's vital forces, but you were able to capture all the supplies and supplies of Yunziying, it can be regarded as a victory and a good start for the next big battle."

Lao Pei saw that the Cao army on the other side had completely occupied the tentatively built temporary camp, and some soldiers began to pull away carts, trying to break up the defensive circle around the periphery. , the speed is as fast as my Great China Treasure Sichuan Opera Face Changing.

"Everyone listens to the order, all the archers light the fire and release the arrows, freely scatter three bursts, let go!"

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired from Yunziying, and they were all rockets with oilcloth strips tied and burning with raging flames, which made Cao Hong and Yu Jin stunned at the same time.

The two sides faced each other across the river, and were more than ten feet apart. The rain of arrows did have some damage to Cao Jun, but it was definitely not worth the loss. Apart from wasting arrows, it would not cause too much damage to Cao Jun.

Yu Jin frowned and looked at the other side, his face suddenly changed and he shouted to Cao Hong: "No, we have been tricked, Zi Lian retreated quickly and left this temporary camp."

Cao Hong heard

Yu Jin screamed wildly, his heartbeat almost stopped for a moment, and he suddenly reacted.

On the other side of the river, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong lost their presence early on. This is the biggest abnormality on the part of Lin Jun.
