"My lord's order is for us to stick to Liyang and not fight the enemy. If the fourth master sends troops, wouldn't it be suspected of violating the lord's military order?"
Shen Pei brought out Yuan Shao's order and poured cold water on Yuan Shang with a rhetorical question.
Yuan Shang's figure was shaken, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his handsome face.
Seeing the situation, Guan Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "If we don't attack now, when all the enemy's 140,000 troops cross the river, they will surround our army. At that time, our army will be passive and vulnerable to attack. How to seize this opportunity and severely injure the little thief, maybe one blow can destroy the confidence of the little thief Beifou. "
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shang immediately became excited again.
Shen Pei said coldly: "This is the reason, but I believe that the Fourth Young Master should send Pegasus to Yecheng and ask the lord for instructions before attacking."
Guan Yu's eyebrows darkened and he said with a sullen face: "The little thief is already crossing the river. By the time we ask for instructions from the lord, the enemy thieves have already crossed the river and surrounded us. What's the use then!"
The judge's expression only moved slightly, but he still looked selfless, but he was unable to respond for the moment.
At this time, Guan Yu raised his hand to Yuan Shang again and said: "Fourth Young Master, as the saying goes, I will be out in the field and I will not give you your orders. The good opportunity given today is right in front of you. If you can seize it and defeat the enemy army, you can make a name for yourself in one battle. It's too late for my lord to be happy, so how can I blame you?"
Fight to become famous!
These four words deeply attracted Yuan Shang, making him excited and eager to try.
"Fourth Young Master"
The judge wanted to say more, but Yuan Shang waved his hand and said decisively: "I have made up my mind. That little thief is so rampant, how can I not give him some color to show him this battle? I am determined!"
Yuan Shang has made up his mind and is determined to fight. No one will listen anymore.
Although the judge was displeased, on second thought, Yuan Shang was sure to win this battle. There are indeed many benefits.
So, the judge said no more, just opened one eye and closed the other.
Yuan Shang immediately led four thousand cavalry out of the city and headed straight to the north bank of the Yellow River, waiting only for the Southern Army to cross the border. He seized the opportunity and attacked with surprise troops.
South Bank, Baimajin.
The sky has become bright, and at the front of the ferry, more than 30,000 soldiers have boarded the ship, and the remaining more than 50,000 cavalry are on foot. They also gathered in the Shuiying area, waiting to cross the river later.
The beachhead area on the north bank was limited and could not accommodate more than 80,000 people landing at the same time. The only way for the Southern Army to cross the river was to cross the river in batches.
The time has come. Zhuge Gao, who was standing at the bow of the ship, looked north with the skull-crushing stick in his hand. He shouted fiercely: "Let the ships set off, and the whole army will attack the north bank for me -"
The horn sounded, the flags waved, and more than a hundred transport ships, under the gaze of everyone, slowly left Baimajin, and under the rays of the morning light, they moved hand in hand, heading towards the north bank.
Yuan Fang opened his telescope and watched the transport ships go away. Until the fleet enters the middle of the river.
"Yuan Shang, it's time for us to settle old scores."
His eyes crossed the surging Yellow River to the other side, his eyebrows narrowed, and he turned his horse to go.
The north bank of the Yellow River. The 40,000 cavalrymen commanded by Yuan Shang were already arrayed on the river bank.
Under Guan Yu's suggestion, Yuan Shang did not directly form a formation on the beach, but stationed his troops one mile offshore.
"The enemy ship is about to wash up on the beach. Why don't we line up our soldiers and horses on the beach, wait for the little thief's soldiers and horses to approach, and shoot wildly with strong bows and crossbows to give him a head-on blow!" Yuan Shang questioned.
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and said with a sinister smile: "Although strong bows and crossbows can prevent the enemy from landing, they will only make the enemy retreat in the face of difficulties and cannot seriously injure the little thief. Now let's retreat a little and let the little thief land. When his men and horses are not yet stable, if they suddenly attack, they will definitely beat the little thief hard."
Yuan Shang suddenly realized what Guan Yu said, and a ferocious sneer suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
While he was excited, Yuan Shang added: "That bitch is extremely cunning. If he sees that our troops are not fortified on the beach, he will inevitably become suspicious and suspect that we have an ambush. In this case, he may not dare to land. In my opinion See, why don't you lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to line up on the beach, pretending to block the enemy? After that bastard comes ashore with confidence and boldness, I will lead 35,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the flanks, and you and I will If we attack each other from a flank, why can't we defeat the enemy?"
After hearing this, Guan Yu cupped his hands and said, "This is a clever plan, the Fourth Young Master. Let's follow it. Guan will help the Fourth Young Master to severely weaken the spirit of that little thief!"
The two of them decided on a plan and immediately divided their forces and left.
At present, Guan Yufang's five thousand soldiers and horses were arrayed on the river beach, assuming a decisive battle posture that they would fight to the death and not allow the Southern Army to land.
Yuan Shangze led 30,000 soldiersThousands of main forces moved to the flanks, ready to meet Guan Yu at any time.
On the Yellow River, the 30,000 troops and horses commanded by Zhuge Liang have entered the middle of the river.
It is now the end of spring, the water in the rivers is getting longer, and the water in Liyang is quite turbulent.
Zhuge Liang stood on the bow of the boat, holding on to the side of the boat, surveying the situation on the other side. He soon discovered that thousands of Hebei troops were already in formation on the river beach.
"Yuan Shang was indeed lured out!"
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with excitement, and without hesitation, he shouted loudly: "Blow the drum for me, and the troops will fight on the river beach."
On the boats, dozens of large cowhide drums were beating, and the thundering sound of the drums drowned out the surging river water, inspiring more than a hundred boats to speed towards the north bank with sails and oars full.
In a short time, the vanguard of the fleet had already approached the river beach more than 200 steps away.
Such a distance is equivalent to entering the range of the enemy's hard crossbow.
"All troops, raise your shields and prepare to avoid arrows!" Zhuge Liang shouted with a horizontal stick.
The soldiers beside him quickly raised their shields to protect Zhuge Liang.
On each ship, the Confederate soldiers who had been prepared for a long time also raised their large shields and lowered their bodies as low as possible to avoid incoming arrows. ,
Just as Zhuge Liang expected, the war drums were beating on the river bank. Guan Yu gave an order, and more than a thousand crossbow arrows shot out of the air, overwhelmingly attacking the Confederate fleet on the river.
Whoosh whoosh!
The arrows are raining down like locusts.
Although most of the Chu troops blocked enemy arrows with their hand shields, many arrows still passed through the gaps and hit the Southern soldiers.
No matter how dense the arrows are, they can't stop Zhuge Liang from advancing.
Under his urging. More than a hundred ships faced the attack of crossbows and arrows, fearlessly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, they were approaching a distance of more than a hundred.
This distance has reached the perfect shooting range for bow shooting.
In an instant, the buzzing increased suddenly. Guan Yu launched his bow attack, and more than two thousand sharp arrows shot at them like locusts.
Crazy shooting created signs that the Northern Army was stubbornly blocking the enemy, and the Southern Army's casualties also doubled.
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised by how violent the Northern Army's attack was.
but. The arrow is already on the string, how can it not be fired!
Zhuge Liang braved the rain of arrows, brandished the skull-crushing stick in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill me ashore. Those who are timid will be killed without mercy!"
Under Zhuge Liang¡¯s supervision. After nearly five hundred casualties, the Confederate ship's bow finally approached the beach.
At this time, Guan Yu, who had been watching the battle for a long time, soon had a cold smile on his red face.
"Yuan Fang, it would be best if you dare to come in person. I will take advantage of the situation and kill you to avenge my bloody revenge"
The fire of revenge began to burn in Guan Yu's eyes. He immediately waved his sword and shouted: "The whole army retreats, let me let the enemy thieves ashore."
Dang Dang Dang~~
The sound of gold ringing suddenly rose, and more than 5,000 Hebei troops pretended to be invincible and retreated from the north of the river beach in a panic.
As soon as Guan Yu's army retreated, Zhuge Liang's resistance suddenly decreased, and the soldiers of the Southern Army came forward one after another. They all took a long breath.
"The enemy army was still resisting tenaciously just now, but suddenly it retreated on its own initiative. Well, there must be a trick in this"
Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, feeling suspicious in his heart. He quickly guessed it was eight or nine points, and immediately, a hint of disdain appeared on the young man's face.
So what if there is a trick, you still can't stop my master from crushing you!
Although Zhuge Liang was suspicious, he had no intention of retreating. He continued to urge the army towards the river, and more than a hundred ships rushed onto the river beach in the blink of an eye.
¡°Kill the one who reaches the shore first and whoever lands in Hebei first will be rewarded heavily!¡±
Zhuge Liang raised his head-crushing stick high, roared loudly, and jumped onto the beach without hesitation.
The big flag of "Zhuge" and the big flag of "Yuan" followed Zhuge Liang and washed up on the beach, and was firmly planted on the land of Hebei.
Yuan Fang¡¯s battle flag finally flew over Hebei!
This is a symbol, a sign of the reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum. The flying battle flag greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies.
The sound of killing was loud!
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami-like shouts overwhelmed the sound of the rushing water, causing the sky and the earth to change color.
Hundreds of Confederate warriors rushed from the ship to the beach, holding their shields high and waving their weapons, charging forward to kill them as if they were dead.
On the river beach, on the front line of Silk Yanli, in less than a quarter of an hour, nearly 10,000 Confederate troops rushed onto the beach, overwhelming the south toward the north.Pushing forward and rolling, large numbers of Southern troops were still disembarking from the boats and landing one after another.
A hundred steps away from the shore, Guan Yu stood on horseback with his sword drawn, arrogantly glaring at the Confederate troops who were charging ashore with a disdainful look that looked down upon the world.
"Yuan Fang, you cruel and cruel little thief, your record of winning battles is destined to be ended by me, Guan Yu, today, I will let you fall on the river beach!"
Guan Yu snorted proudly, and suddenly raised the long knife in his hand fiercely.
Behind him, a black signal flag swayed like the wind, sending a signal to Yuan Shang who was ambushing beside him.
On the northeast side of the river beach, Yuan Shang, who had been stationed for a long time, finally saw Guan Yu's letter flag, and couldn't help but feel proud on his handsome face.
"You bitch, today I will kill tens of thousands of your soldiers and horses, and use your disastrous defeat to achieve my reputation as Yuan Shang, and let you know the true strength of my legitimate son of the Yuan family!"
Yuan Shang's fighting spirit became more intense. Without any hesitation, he raised his gun, roared, and galloped out.
Thirty-five thousand Northern Army infantry and cavalry, who had been in formation for a long time, suddenly formed up, raising a cloud of dust in the sky, and charged westward along the river beach.
Not long after, the figure of the Southern Army appeared in front of him.
At this time, Zhuge Liang only had more than 10,000 troops ashore, and the formation had not yet been completed, and he had not yet established a firm foothold on the river beach.
Yuan Shang is familiar with the art of war. He knows that this is the time when the enemy troops are landing and their defenses are weakest.
"Kill me, kill all the enemies and thieves~~" Yuan Shang's fighting spirit soared, his confidence became stronger, and he rushed like the wind.
More than 30,000 enemy troops, like a huge spear, flew along the river beach towards the flank of the Confederate army.
The dust in the sky and the roar of thunder quickly made Zhuge Liang aware of it. He raised his eyes and swept eastward, and he immediately discovered the enemy troops who were suddenly approaching.
"No wonder they let me land easily. It turns out there was an ambush." ??Zhuge Liang suddenly realized. Instead of being surprised, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Master, I have boarded the beach, and the rest is up to you."
