Chapter 281 Crossing the River
In the early morning, the sun squeezed out a faint morning glow from between the clouds. 15[]
Gan Ning stood at the head of Yewang City with his sword in hand, quietly staring at the northwest.
In the field of vision, the thin black line is squirming.
The earth was also trembling, and even in this city built of solid earth, he could feel the slight tremor.
The black line became thicker and thicker, and after a while, it filled up the eyes.
There were countless people moving around, and a large black mass stretched straight to the horizon. The formation could only be described as overwhelming.
The enemy finally arrived.
Just a few days ago, shortly after Luoyang City was conquered, General Liu Feng summoned him alone and gave him this secret and difficult mission.
On that day, Gan Ning selected 3,000 elite soldiers, crossed the Yellow River north and entered Hanoi County.
It turns out that Sima Yi, in the name of the Han Emperor, gathered more than 10,000 troops in Hanoi and guarded all the ferries along the coast.
However, soon after hearing about the fall of Luoyang, Sima Yi withdrew all the soldiers and horses along the river and gathered them in the Chaoge area east of Hanoi.
Gan Ning's troops landed on the north bank without encountering almost any resistance, and their troops rushed to Yewang County day and night.
At this time, there were only a few hundred county soldiers in Yewang County. The county magistrate suddenly saw the sudden attack of the southern army. Before Gan Ning's troops could reach the city, he took the initiative to open the city and surrender.
Gan Ning occupied Yewang County without a fight, and then ordered all nearby Dingkou and grain and other materials to be moved into the city. Anything that could not be taken away was burned together with the houses.
¡°He wants to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing out the wilderness.
On the fourth day after Gan Ning occupied the Wild Queen, Liu Bei's army from Shangdang County in the north arrived first. According to preliminary visual inspection and reconnaissance by scouts, the enemy army was estimated to be about 50,000 people, led by Liu Bei's second officer. General Zhang Fei.
Fifty thousand versus three thousand, a seventeen-fold strength comparison, Zhang Feijun had the upper hand in numbers.
Fifty thousand troops surrounded Yewang County. At dawn the next day, Zhang Fei's army launched a fierce attack on the county seat.
Zhang Feijun's attack was indeed fierce. This was perhaps the most ferocious siege Gan Ning had ever seen.
Those enemy soldiers who were full of morale were like drinking water.
oOne by one
They climbed up the city wall with all their strength, and tried all means including stone bullets, boiling oil, hammered logs, and rain of arrows, but they could not defeat these eager northern soldiers. 4¡à8065
Gan Ning felt unprecedented pressure, but he didn't even frown.
Since the enemy attacked the city, Gan Ning almost ate and slept on the city. And his three thousand soldiers were the desperadoes he had gathered since he was a Jinfan thief. With full preparation and tenacious fighting spirit, after several days of fierce fighting, Zhang Feijun still had no one on the field. Empire.
A few days later, 20,000 infantry and cavalry commanded by Ma Chao also arrived at Yewang City from Hedong County. The two generals joined forces and launched a fierce attack on Yewang City again.
The result is still in vain.
Facts have proved that as long as the defending party has a firm fighting spirit and proper command, no matter how many enemies there are and no matter how excellent the generals are, it will be enough to make them forget the city and sigh.
Liu Bei, who was still in Hedong, was very angry when he was defeated by Ye Wang.
He originally planned to take advantage of Liu Feng's army being trapped in the battle in Henan, and march straight into Hanoi to seize the Han Emperor. This plan remained unchanged even after hearing that Luoyang had fallen into Liu Feng's hands.
Because Liu Bei believed that after the bloody battle, Liu Feng would never dare to lead his exhausted army across the river to fight him.
But what annoyed Liu Bei was that his 70,000-strong army was actually blocked by Gan Ning's 3,000 soldiers and horses in a mere Yewang town.
Liu Bei was so angry that he left more than 10,000 troops to guard Hedong and led 20,000 troops to Hanoi himself.
While Liu Bei stepped up his attack on the Yewang, he ordered Ma Chao and Li Yan to lead some troops to the south to capture Qinshui, Zhi County, and Heyang counties, and stationed his troops on the north bank of the Yellow River to prevent Liu Feng's army from forming a flank attack on his main force. threaten.
In addition, Liu Bei also ordered Zhuge Liang, who was staying in Chang'an, to transfer more troops to the Hanoi front line and strengthen the defense of Tongguan line to prevent Liu Feng's army from attacking Chang'an westward and threatening his strategic rear.
While Liu Bei was dispatching troops and generals, Liu Feng was not idle. He left 150,000 troops and horses on the Yin line in Henan, and the remaining more than 100,000 troops and horses were all transferred to various states.
The armies that withdrew from Henan were successively pacifiedHe defeated the rebellion in Qiao County, Cao Cao's hometown, and then repelled the attack by Zang Ba and others from Qingzhou, and forced Zang Ba to send envoys to express his willingness to submit.
Zang Ba, Sun Li and other Qingxu tyrants were nominally loyal to Cao Cao, but in fact they had been in a state of semi-religion since the Guandu era.
In order to maintain stability in the east, Liu Feng followed Cao Cao's approach and continued to appoint Zang Ba as the governor of Qingzhou, and promoted him to general Zhendong and rural lord.
In Henan, more than 100,000 troops were stationed near Luoyang, which was originally an extremely detrimental burden for the supply of food and grass.
Fortunately, Luoyang, which Cao Cao worked hard to manage, had accumulated enough grain and grass for several years. After the city was captured, Liu Feng was able to use this part of the grain and grass to "support war with war."
Gan Ning lived up to Liu Feng's trust. With a force of three thousand, he dragged Liu Bei's 700,000 to 80000 troops under the Yewang City for nearly two months.
In the past two months, Liu Feng successfully appeased the hearts of the scholars and people in the states of Henan through a combination of kindness and power. At the same time, his 150,000 troops stationed in Henan also got two months of valuable rest.
It was the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Gan Ning in Yewang City finally couldn't stand it anymore and sent people to break out of the siege to ask for help from Liu Feng.
After some preparations, Liu Feng left Pang Tong in Luoyang and marched north with an army of 150,000 to start a decisive battle with Liu Bei's army gathered in Hanoi.
As a feint attack, Liu Feng led an army of 10,000 troops with Zhang Ren, left Hangu Pass in the west, and attacked Tongguan via Hu County to threaten Liu Bei's Guanzhong rear area. Zhang Yi led an army of 5,000 people to Hongnong and Shaanxi County, and then attacked Dayang County on the other side of the Yellow River to the north, posing a threat to Hedong County.
At the same time, Huang Zhong, who stayed in Shuzhong, and Ma Di's troops in the three eastern counties also mobilized their own troops to attack Hanzhong County from the south and east, and formed a double-team attack on Guanlong from the south.
These soldiers and horses are all partial armies. Although they may not have an advantage in terms of military strength, because the two soldiers and horses in Shuzhong and Dongsanjun have not participated in the war for many years, their combat effectiveness cannot be improved even if they are recharged. Look down upon.
Although Liu Feng only had about 150,000 soldiers and horses available for the Battle of Hanoi, these partial divisions were enough to contain a considerable number of Liu Bei's troops, ultimately ensuring that Liu Feng had the upper hand in the battlefield of Hanoi.
On the main battlefield, Liu Feng ordered Wei Yan alone to lead 30,000 troops and march from Heyin. Taking advantage of the naval force, he set up a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River and crossed the Yellow River north to attack Heyang, posing a threat to Liu Bei's army's flanks.
Veteran general Zhang Ren led 10,000 troops to cross the river in the north of Xingyang and capture Wude, Huaixian and other places to warn Sima Yi's troops on the Chaoge side and protect the flanks and rear of Ye Wang's battlefield.
Liu Feng himself led an army of 110,000 men, crossed the river from Xiaomengjin, and rushed westward along the Qinshui River to aid the wild king.
The armies from all directions advanced together and launched a decisive battle against Liu Bei.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the war horse was pawing its hooves in fear. Wei extended his hand to caress its neck, and he felt it trembling.
Deafening thunder roared overhead, as if the entire sky was about to collapse.
The wind is still strengthening, and the horse's mane and tail, the soldiers' robes, and the black tassels of the iron helmets are all blown in the same direction, like one black raging wave after another.
A bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky, and the blinding flash illuminated both sides of the Yellow River in an instant.
Above the river, a pontoon bridge more than three feet wide stretches across the two banks. On the unevenly floating bridge, heavy-duty vehicles are moving cautiously from south to north.
¡°A heavy raindrop fell heavily on Wei Yan¡¯s iron helmet, the second drop, the third drop, every fourth drop
Soon it was as if someone were playing a drum above his head, and the rhythm of the rain echoed around the wilderness.
In the pouring rain, the five thousand soldiers were silent, like black stone elephants, neatly arranged on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Behind them were thousands of busy warriors, seizing every moment to build forts.
The ground began to tremble, and in the field of vision where the heavy rain was like a curtain, dark clouds were spreading out from the other side of the horizon.
The distant horn rumbled, and Wei Yan knew that it was a signal that the enemy cavalry was about to launch an attack.
Wei Yan looked far into the distance, and under the red banner of the former army, the tiger-bear general was swinging the sword in his hand excitedly, as if he could not wait to prepare for a big killing.
The tiger and bear general is none other than Samoko, and most of these five thousand elite warriors are barbarians composed of Wuxi barbarians.
The enemy army would definitely not let him cross the river easily, not to mention that he had to build a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River. The scouts detected that a group of cavalry of about 7,000 people had left Heyang City and rushed towards the beachhead. .
Obviously, the enemy wanted to use the impact of the cavalry to drive them back into the river while their camp was not stable and they did not have sufficient defense.
"Xi Zuo has already reported that the man stationed in Heyang is the Xiliang army Ma Chao, and the cavalry under his command are mostly Xiliang cavalry composed of Qiang and Hu.
The Qiang people are brave and good at fighting. Back then, it was this kind of cavalry that almost killed Cao Cao in the Weishui River. Wei Yan naturally did not dare to look down upon them.
Therefore, Wei Yan brought out the equally ferocious Wuling barbarians and played a trick of "using barbarians against barbarians".
As long as we can block this attack from Ma Chao¡¯s cavalry,
After the attack, he could successfully set up camp on the north bank, and the rest of the army and supplies could be transported across the north bank smoothly.
While thinking about it, the tremors of the earth have become more intense.
In the rain and fog, countless black shadows, like ghosts, roared and hissed, and came towards the military formation.
Wei Yan took a deep breath, slashed his sword, and ordered to prepare for battle. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
