Chapter 414 People say monkeys are fine, monkeys can be fine!(1/3)
The main battle zones of the Cao and Yuan battles were in Liyang, Yanjin, Baima, Guandu and Xudu.
On this line, the direction of the Yellow River is from southwest to northeast.
Liyang is on the north bank of the Yellow River, at the top end, on the southeast side of Liyang City, on the south bank of the Yellow River is Baima, and on the southwest direction of Liyang is Yanjin.
These three places converge into an irregular triangle...
From Yanjin to the southwest is Guandu, and there is a place between Yanjin and Guandu called "Wuchao".
After passing Guandu and walking southwest, it is Xudu!
It can be said that... Cao and Yuan's decisive battle was completely arranged along the direction of the Yellow River from southwest to northeast!
now…
On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Cao army led by Xiahou Yuan set up a suspicion formation, and looked like he wanted to force the Yellow River to fight against Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao's response was completely unexpected... He led his army to set up numerous protections on the north bank of Yanjin, set up three camps, and waited for Cao's army to cross the river and fight with him!
For a moment, the entire Yellow River was north and south... Cao's army sharpened their swords and seemed to be about to hit them at any time.
Yuan Jun was ready for battle and just shouted, "Come here!"
The two armies are just stalemate here...
Extremely weird and tacit understanding!
Until...the eight hundred dragon cavalry arrived at the Yanjin battlefield!
Indeed, according to Lu Yu's order, the goal of the Eight Hundred Dragon Knights was to rescue Baima City... But to rescue Baima and Yanjin were the only place to pass.
at the same time…
Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu also need to bring Lu Yu's instructions!
"The last general will meet General Xiahou..."
When they saw Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu bowed...
Xiahou Yuan led them into the tent with a serious face... and said directly. "Brother has sent someone to send an urgent message to ask our army to cross the Yellow River and fight against Yuan Shao. In addition, the brother also said, let me
Here he followed Lu Situ's orders, what orders did Lu Situ have?"
In Xiahou Yuan's opinion...
Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu were both generals under Lu Yu's command, and they must have come with missions and orders.
"Caughter..." Cao Xiu blurted without hesitation: "Lu Situ wants all the cavalry in Yanjin... to rescue the white horses with us!"
Ah...ah...
Xiahou Yuan was stunned. You should know that there are more than 100,000 soldiers stationed in Yanjin, and the number of cavalry alone exceeds 10,000, including elite corps such as Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry!
If it were rescuers, they could be sent to the rescue early in the morning. Why should I wait for these 800 dragon cavalry?
"This..." Xiahou Yuan subconsciously opened his mouth, with some hesitation and hesitation in his heart.
Zhang Liao saw his suspicion at a glance and explained immediately.
"Commander Lu is a plan to "speak east and attack west", for several days... the Yellow River coast outside Yanjin City is tense, and Yuan Shao has already transferred most of his troops here! In this way, Yan Liang's troops became an isolated army
! And in Commander Lu’s plan, it was this lonely army that our army wanted to kill!”
Huo…
Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized that he was a plan to "speak east and attack west"!
But... this plan is a bit bold?
A big question mark appeared between Xiahou Yuan's eyebrows.
"It's nothing if Commander Lu can judge Yuan Shao's army's assembly, but... how can he judge that Baima City can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements?"
This is the biggest doubt in Xiahou Yuan's heart.
As early as the Baima City was surrounded, he wanted to send troops to rescue him immediately, but was stopped by Cao Cao's letter... In the letter, he was only asked to set up a suspicion array in Yanjin, and he would never be allowed to rescue Baima!
This...is this?
It’s all because... because the elder brother wants to put his bet on Lu Yu?
Can…
Brother...or why did Lu Yu believe so much that Baima City can hold on to it for more than ten days?
"We don't know either!" Facing Xiahou Yuan's question, Zhang Liao shook his head. "But, since Commander Lu said so, since he had arranged so much, the White Horse City Walled City will definitely be able to be defended!"
just like…
Pearls and jade are ahead, Zhang Liao’s deployment of Lu Yu, his strategy of Lu Yu, and his words to Lu Yu are like gods...
Lu Yu did not mention the "fall of the White Horse City"!
Then... the White Horse City will definitely be able to persevere, with the arrival of their reinforcements.
Of course...
Xiahou Yuan would not know, nor would Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu know.
Lu Yu is confident in the persistence of Baima City.
Because it was not someone else who stationed in Baima City, but Liu Yan, the former prefect of Dongjun!
Speaking of Liu Yan, the readers are mostly unfamiliar, but... In the records of ancient books, this "big brother" faced the Yan Liang army ten times more than him, and defended the Baima City for two.
The moon was not until Cao Cao sent troops to rescue the siege.
In history, Guan Yu’s ability to kill Yan Liang is closely related to the persistence of this big brother!
According to Lu Yu's analysis...
Yan Liang led all cavalrymen, who were good at fighting in fields but not attacking tough situations. As long as Liu Yan's "big brother" performs normally, let alone sticking to more than ten days... it is not a big problem even if he sticks to it for a month.
Lu Yu is still very confident in this regard.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yu weaves a net of heaven and earth with such fearlessness.
And next, the fish are entering the net, it’s time...it’s time to close the net!
"Okay!" Xiahou Yuan thought for a long time, but agreed to Cao Xiu and Zhang Liao's request and handed over more than 10,000 cavalrymen to them. He did not forget to give him a last instructor, "Next, let's see you!"
"Don't worry, General Xiahou." Zhang Liao raised the crescent halberd and turned over the horse. "General Xiahou should not forget Commander Lu's instructions. As usual, he will lay out heavy troops on the bank of the Yellow River. While confusing Yuan Shao, he will also prevent the Yuan army from forcing his crossing!"
"This is natural!" Xiahou Yuan nodded.
"Get get it..."
The neighing sound of war horses resounded, and immediately Zhang Liao and Cao Xiu went to order their troops... and galloped towards the Baima City!
…
…
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
An extremely heavy sound of horse hooves resounded on the ground.
Black and green armor, sharp halberds, awe-inspiring armor... and the huge characters "dragon", "tiger", and "leopard" on the high-hanging banner!
There is no doubt that this army that roared and rushed more than 10,000 people were the three most brave cavalry units in Cao's camp - Dragon Knight, Tiger Knight, and Leopard Knight!
The convergence of the three of them can be regarded as the most peak combat power in Cao's camp!
Wherever the horse's hooves step by, sand and stones fly, dust and smoke fill the sky!
Speaking of which, it was only a few dozen miles from Yanjin to Baima City. The cavalry galloped under the speed, and it was enough to arrive in less than half a day.
Similarly, there are also a large number of Yan Liang's horse-sleeping and scouts along the way.
but…
The range of inquiry was not large. This cavalry legion was discovered ten miles away from Baima City.
The reaction of the horse was not slow.
But... they were running, and Cao's army was running, and even... Cao's army ran faster than them!
These provocations had just entered the military camp, and the Dragon Knight, Tiger Knight, and Leopard Knight, just came with them!
At this time...the spring is upright, and the spring is full of joy...
This noble son of the Yan clan of the famous Yan clan in Hebei Province lived a very comfortable life.
He didn't wear armor either. He has been pampering since childhood and maintained his inherent habits and let his subordinates hold a golden embroidered umbrella. He hid under the umbrella to command the soldiers, majestic and proud!
This umbrella... is a canopy umbrella dedicated to ancient generals, which is equivalent to the yellow dragon umbrella in later generations. It has first-class sunshade effect and is even more full of style!
only…
This thing seems too cool in the army and is too easy to become the enemy's target!
Even at this moment...
To be continued...
