Chapter 1699 Confusion
? General Hussars made a great success in Pingyang, but Liu Bei in southern Sichuan was a little at a loss.
Liu Bei was reluctant to leave Ding Ze, and was unwilling to retreat like this. Fortunately, the location of the camp he chose was pretty good, with mountains for defense and a river on one side that could be used for daily hunting and replenishment, so even though the Ze people came to test it two or three times , and finally failed to break through Liu Bei''s defense.
??It''s just that Liu Bei didn''t have much strength to attack again, so the two sides were in a stalemate until Guan Yu Jian Yong led a group of soldiers to **** the grain and grass. Because it was not very convenient to transfer on land, Guan Yu and Jian Yong simply bought some civilian boats this time, formed a small fleet, and came along the river.
?Sun Qian still stayed in Chengdu, serving as a link and doing some coordination and negotiation work.
When the brothers met again, Liu Bei couldn''t help but burst into tears. He hugged Guan Yu and cried for a while with tears in his eyes. Then several people sat down to discuss the current situation.
Liu Bei described in detail the overall situation of the tug-of-war between him and the Ze people during this period, and then explained the Ding Ze he was exploring and the surrounding topography. Everyone couldn''t help but fell silent for a while.
Jian Yong frowned, stroked his beard, thought for a long time, and then said: "My lord, Yong has something unclear..."
Liu Bei said: "Xianhe, please speak."
Jian Yong nodded and said: "My lord, how do you view the Zuo people? Are they braver than the Qiang people? Are they braver than the Sichuan people?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The soldiers of the Ze people are like flies in the forest. They can''t be driven away and can''t be killed. If they are ignored, they will bite them again, which is very annoying... As for their bravery, they are not as good as the Sichuan soldiers." also!"
Jian Yong nodded and said: "That''s right. But..." Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, cupped his hands and said, "Yong just said it bluntly, I have offended a lot..."
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Xianhe bluntly said that we are all brothers, so there is no need to worry."
?Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and remained silent. Zhang Fei on the side also laughed and said that Jian Yong should just say it straight.
Jian Yong can be said to be an old man who has followed Liu Bei all the way since the uprising. He has been with Liu Bei for a long time. Although he is not as close as a brother to Liu Bei like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is actually not that different.
"If the Zi people are so brave, then why were they huddled in Ding Zi in the past?" Jian Yong said slowly, "Our soldiers cannot be said to be on par with the hussar soldiers, but they can easily defeat the Sichuan soldiers. ...My lord, two generals, don’t you think there is something fishy here? "Jian Yong’s meaning is very straightforward and simple. Look, these Zi people in Dingzi can’t even defeat the Sichuan soldiers, and then why are they suddenly here? You can go back and forth with us for more than ten rounds?
Liu Bei thought about it, then nodded and said: "What Xianhe said is true, I also have this doubt..."
Guan Yu Danfeng opened his eyes, showed power without anger, and said in a deep voice: "The meaning of Xianhe is that there will be an oriole behind?"
Jian Yong nodded slowly, "Zhe people are barbarians. They don''t know the military formations, and they don''t know how to repair armor. How can they fight for a long time? Even though Yong came here for the first time, he felt that this was very strange. If there was no one behind him, Drive...After all, I am in Sichuan, and I don’t want the Zhe people to have any reputation?”
??If the Ze people are so powerful, then naturally they must have had some fights with Liu Zhang over the years. How come they haven''t heard of him at all?
Liu Bei slapped his thigh and said: "Xianhe is really sharp! These words will clear up some confusion! Come here! Get some of the Zhe people''s weapons!"
?The guard came in with some weapons and put them in the middle with a bang.
Liu Bei took out a sword, looked at it up and down, and said angrily: "It is indeed made by the Han family!"
Guan Yu also squinted and looked at a handful, and said coldly: "The rust color is light, it''s just that it was newly made..."
"Okay!" Mr. Zhang suddenly jumped up and shouted angrily, "So that''s it! I was plotted by the thieves! Wow, you are so angry!"
Liu Bei stuck his knife on the ground and said, "Third brother, please be at peace! I was clear before, so I naturally suffered a loss. Now that I have made it clear, the situation is about to change... Get the atlas!"
Several people were looking carefully in front of the album. Liu Bei suddenly stretched out his hand and clicked somewhere on the album, then traced along the river and said: "The mountain road here is rugged. If you go along the mountain shape, it will be extremely inconvenient to transfer. Therefore, if there is a yellow bird behind, it is probably here..."
Naturally, there are no large-scale naval forces in Sichuan and Sichuan, and large warships cannot enter the twists and turns of the rivers in Sichuan and Sichuan. However, there are many small sampans. After all, there are many rivers in the Chengdu Basin in central Sichuan. Less water network. These small boats for civilian use are of little significance for direct combat on the water, but they are much more convenient for transporting soldiers, food, grass, equipment, etc. than going directly by land.
?Zhang Fei stood up proudly and said: "Brother, I will leave this matter to someone! I will take Zheerlang to investigate right now!"
Liu Bei nodded and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, Xianhe is coming, the people of Zhe must not know... I do have a plan, you might as well do this..."
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei seemed to have only one sentence left: "So and so save me". When he met Zhuge, he said "Military advisor save me". When he met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he said "Second brother and third brother save me". Even When I met Zhao Yun, he said the same sentence, but changed it to "Zilong save me"...
?Just like Tang Monk, maybe the later classmate Lao Wu followed Mr. Luo''s style?
??But in actual history, Liu Bei got mixed up little by little in the military formation, and he still had to break up a few times, such as setting fire.
The fire in Bowangpo was not actually one of the three fires when Brother Zhu took office as mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but was planned and implemented by Liu Bei... And now, Liu Bei also Get ready to continue setting fire.
…( ̄^ ̄)Hmph! …
There are three rivers around Dingze. From west to east they are flooded water, Lu River and Sun River, and then merge into the Lu River in the south of Ding Ze, and then twist and turn all the way eastward, flowing through the middle of the Sichuan.
Li Hui and Yuan Yue established camps on both sides of Sun River south of Dingzuo. Yuan Yue led his people on the northwest bank of Sun River, and Li Hui and others built two pontoon bridges on the southeast bank, so that they could usually communicate with each other.
The night was dark, and the people were relatively undisciplined. After the night, some people sang folk songs. Although Li Hui could not completely understand the language of the people, after getting along for a long time, he could generally understand it. Guessing one of them, I couldn''t help but shake my head and frowned with some disdain.
Most of the folk songs are naturally about the love between men and women, and how can they be more elegant? So taking it off for nothing is considered more reserved...
?At first a few people sang, but when the singing got interesting, many people also shouted loudly, and then burst into laughter.
Fortunately they were separated into separate camps, otherwise it would have been...
??Li Hui shook his head and said: "Go down with the order! Close the camp gate! No unreasonable noises are allowed in the camp!" The ordering soldier outside the tent agreed and then went down.
Li Hui focused his attention on the picture album on the table, staring at the red dot marked as the key point, frowning, and thinking in his mind. "This Liu Xuande, why doesn''t he retreat? It is estimated that there are only 2,000 people left...maybe less than that. According to the usual practice, if two or three people die, their morale will collapse, and the soldiers will lose their will to fight. The result...why? Why don’t you want to retreat?”
In fact, after such a long time, Li Hui became a little anxious. After all, the means behind the scenes often cannot be brought to the surface, so it was naturally difficult for Li Hui and his group to show up. As a result, Zhe Ren was not very good. It''s worth it. There was obviously an excellent opportunity before but he couldn''t seize it. Otherwise, Liu Daer''er would have died in Dingze!
In any case, whether we are colleagues or not, no matter how angry we are in the audience, as long as we stand on the stage, we still smile, which means that we are all "friends and businessmen" who have a good relationship...
It doesn''t matter how many times you attack in secret, as long as you don''t get brought to the surface.
The same is true for Li Hui. After thinking for a long time, he felt that he should let the Ze people step up their offensive, and even consider letting the Jin people participate. "Liu Xuande is so tenacious... but it''s just the end of his strength..."
After thinking about it, Li Hui went to rest. A little before midnight, he was awakened by a loud noise. He quickly stood up and asked what happened. He only heard the panicked report from the soldiers outside the tent: " The pontoon is on fire!”
?Li Hui was shocked, "Why did the fire start?"
The soldier said: "I don''t know why, but I saw the shadows of people moving on the pontoon bridge. They don''t look like my own soldiers... May I ask your envoy, do you want to go out to put out the fire?"
??Li Hui frowned. This was a strange fire, so it was better to be cautious, so he ordered the camp to be strictly guarded and not allowed to go out. We would wait until daybreak to discuss anything.
Li Hui stayed behind closed doors, but Yuan Yue''s camp was not so particular. Before Yuan Yue could give the order, some soldiers had already scrambled to their feet and rushed out to put out the fire. . However, the incident happened suddenly, and many people had no clue. Some people subconsciously rushed to the side of the burning pontoon, only to find that they had nothing with them, so they hurriedly ran back to get wooden basins and barrels...
Normally, the pontoon bridge is set up on the water. If the fire is put out in time, even if there is a fire, it will not be damaged. But the problem is that in the dark night, not only the flames on the pontoon bridge, but also the fire caused by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei A group of malicious soldiers!
Seeing the chaos in the camp on the north bank, Guan Yu, who was in the Sun River, immediately ordered to move to the north, then rushed out from one side and rushed directly towards the chaotic camp of the Jin people.
??Night raids are actually not very scary, nor are they a very powerful move. The reason why they are often used is mainly because of the additional effects brought by night raids. After causing chaos in the whole camp, it will be difficult to clean up. If we talk about burning the pontoon bridge, and both the northern and southern camps stand firm and stand ready, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may have no choice but to retreat like this, without taking much advantage. After all, the civilian ships are quite small, and there are not many soldiers. Compared with the northern and southern camps in this place, The difference in the number of people within them is too big, and they may not be able to gain much advantage in a head-on confrontation.
??However, the Jin people''s camp was scattered and they were running in and out without any structure. Naturally, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seized the opportunity. He immediately shouted and rushed out from one side, leading his men to rush in. Zhi Ren was startled. Before he could react, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already approaching him, and he crashed directly into the camp!
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Yuan Yue, the general of the Jin people, does not attach great importance to camp defense. Moreover, even if Yuan Yue, the king of Jin people, wants to pay attention to camp defense, he may not know how to do it. Therefore, the entire Jin people camp seems to be They were quite loose. After encountering Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s surprise attack, they did not immediately form a unit. Instead, they fought independently. The gap in force caused sporadic resistance to be quickly suppressed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, causing people to panic. It started to spread...
When the enemy attacks at night, the fear is that the camp will be bombed due to the night attack. The soldiers fight on their own and are easily defeated one by one. More often, more of them kill each other than are killed by the enemy... As long as the soldiers are well-trained, Being able to calm down quickly, find his comrades, and regroup, the enemy troops attacking at night will have no chance to take advantage.
After all, there cannot be too many people in a night attack. If there are too many people, they will be noticed from a distance. For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brought only an elite group of less than 200 people to break out of the camp this time. If the sky was clear and there was no chaos in the camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei might not be able to break through the camp successfully.
?In the firelight, figures swayed, the screams and shouts of killing were deafening, and there was chaos in the camp.
The people were originally used to bringing up their families. In the sudden chaos, men, women, old and weak wolves rushed forward. Many people had no time to put on their armor or form a formation to meet the enemy. In addition, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s men continued to use fire torches. Throwing them around, ignited many tents, with flames rolling and thick smoke rising. From time to time, people covered in flames screamed and rolled, making creepy sounds, which scared other people and crawled away from the flames. , hiding in the darkness, but under the swaying light and shadow, it is more difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the darkness. Whenever a person screams in terror, there will be countless weapons around him, trampling each other for a while, causing death and injury.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have had a tacit understanding for many years. They only need to cooperate with each other without any communication of orders. If one side is resisted, the other side will immediately attack from the flank. At the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s personal bravery is still there. Such a small-scale battle was magnified to the extreme, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei turned the camp into a mess in just a few clicks!
At this time, Wang Yuan Yue, the slave man, used his advantage of escaping again. When he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately used a move. The labor and management fled first to show respect. As a result, there was no one in charge in the camp, and they were pushing and shoving each other. They were trampled, and many of them killed each other in order to escape. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so brave that they almost walked in and out of no one''s land until they reached the camp of the people and scattered the fire everywhere. The fire became bigger and bigger, and the air in the camp was extremely hot. At this time, he felt angry and led his men to retreat slowly.
