Chapter 312
The Wei River is very long, not counting its narrow river channel in Longyou. It flows from Chencang City, Youfufeng to Weikou and merges into the Yellow River, which is more than 700 miles. The "Mother River" in Guanzhong flows gently on the plain. If enough boats or wooden boards can be collected, it can be used to build a floating bridge to cross the river. There are no more than 1,000, and there are seven hundred...especially small-scale troops.
Four days ago, September 12th.
A "cavalry" with as many as two or three thousand people built a small floating bridge on the Wei River in Yifufeng County, Youfufeng, and passed by calmly. This place is far away from the territory controlled by the King of Wei, and is a buffer zone between the Wei and the forces of the Western Han Dynasty. There are neither troops stationed nor officials sent to be sent.
The arrival of the three or five cavalry scouts of the Wei army was at its limit. Apart from watching the green forest cross the river, the only thing they could do was to rush back to report at night.
Wei ches and cavalry general Geng Yan (yan), who was more than 150 miles away from Pingling, Liu Bosheng, had concentrated his army in the north of Chang'an City. Here there were ready-made camps stationed by the former New North Army, which could accommodate soldiers. The floating bridge was also built on the basis of the Xiwei Bridge and the remaining pillars of the Zhongwei Bridge. Construction started at the same time, dozens of miles apart.
So the fifth reunification also ordered Wan Xiu and Geng Yan to station in Weicheng, Pingling to guard each other, and he himself was in the middle to dispatch it.
"cavalry?"
When Geng Yan and Peng Chong learned about this, it was noon on September 13th. He heard that they were crossing the Wei army from the border between the Western Han Dynasty and the Wei army. Peng Chong couldn't help saying: "It seems that Wang Yuan failed to lobby for the King of Wei in the Western Han Dynasty, and Wei had decided to assist Liu Bosheng."
Geng Yan shook his head: "Mr. Wei has not broken up with me publicly, he must be trying to sit in the mountain to watch the tiger fight."
The difference between these is very important. If the Wei clan directly assists Liu Bosheng, the famous cavalry of the six counties across the river may be, and if the Wei clan does not enter the field directly, the only cavalry under Liu Bosheng is...
"When Xinmang was destroyed, he retreated to the south and surrendered to the Luhan's Tunqi camp!"
Geng Yan was a little unhappy: "Didn't the lieutenant stationed to the west? As Liu Bosheng's vanguard, the Tunqi Battalion, as the vanguard, arrived in the west, and remained stationed and remained unmoved? Why did they suddenly run west to Mei County more than a hundred miles away? Are they deaf or blind?"
But the "cavalry" that the scouts rewarded is not fake. Two or three thousand horses, who else can it be if it is not the cavalry camp? The Wei family should not be so generous. It can basically be determined that it was the lieutenant in the west who was caught by the enemy's suspicious tricks.
After basically determining the part of the enemy's partial division, Geng Yan and his captains were not nervous at all. They knew what the new army surrendered. The King of Wei also accepted the surrender of Yueqi Battalion. As a result, the most famous record of this soldier was that he beat Dou Rong who had been to the crowd for thousands of miles indiscriminately!
After that, the Fifth Lun handed over the Yueqi camp to Geng Yan, and Geng Yan's evaluation of them was only six words: The mud cannot be supported by the wall!
Of course, this is compared to the Youzhou Tuqi that he never forgets. When the Yueqi Camp reached Geng Yan's hands, it still improved slightly. He followed him north to "persuade" Xihe County, and crossed Mengmen to intercept the defeated soldiers of the new army, completing the feat of detours of thousands of miles and killing the king's Xun - a battle to defeat the soldiers. The Yueqi Camp is indeed useful.
I also heard that the Tunqi camp was not as good as the Yue cavalry. I fled three months ago. It was impossible for me to hang out with the Green Forest bandits for three months before suddenly becoming a strong army in the world, right?
"Liu Bosheng used the camp to surround the cavalry, but he really used the wrong army."
He could see the enemy's intention at a glance, and attacked the west, and started a war in Huayin in the east, trying to mobilize the fifth army; in the west, he sent strange troops to detour, trying to penetrate their rear, to turn the world upside down, and further restrain the Wei army.
Deputy General Peng Chong asked for instructions: "General Cheqi and Cavalry, they have passed through Chengguo Canal and arrived in Meiyang County. They are heading towards the direction of good fields. We must be careful about how to deal with the enemy."
According to the division of the fifth reunion, the entire Youfufeng was Geng Yan's defense zone. If this cavalry ran to Weibei, he was responsible for it.
Geng Yan only found it ridiculous. Not to mention that the Fifth Reunification has ordered the counties west of the Jingshui River to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and want to play a big detour and encircle in front of him Geng Yan?
He didn't care: "Peng Tingwei, have you heard of Tian Ji's horse racing?"
"There are upper, middle, and lower generations."
"If I am the upper horse, then this camp will be the lower horse."
In Geng Yan, who had never lost since his battle, in his camp, in addition to Ma Yuan, he was the upper squad, such as the fifth reunion and Wan Xiu, he was also the middle squad. Peng Chong was also the lower squad.
"Since that's the case, it's enough to use the middle and the lower four."
Geng Yan thought that the Yueqi camp he had cleaned up was at least at the level of Zhongsi. Apart from this army, there were no other cavalry available. We would send them to pursue them and cooperate with the militia stationed in various counties in the fifth republic. With the advantage of the home court, it was enough to trap and even annihilate this rampant partial division!
Cheng Chong, the former captain of the Yueqi Camp who was demoted to "Strange Official" by Di Ren, followed Geng Yan to seize Xihe and killed Wang Xun, and is now the deputy captain. Di Ren has not forgotten his merit of surrendering, and has given a "son" title, making Cheng Chong grateful.
This time, Cheng Chong also got the opportunity to lead his troops alone to attack, and Cheng Chong also made a military order in front of Geng Yan, who had recreational grace to him.
"The subordinate officials must have made meritorious service!"
...
Cheng Chong held his energy and marched very quickly. On September 14th, he arrived in Haochou County, but learned from the city where the gate of Jianbi Qingye was closed that the Han cavalry was fast and looked down on the city walls and towns along the way that had been transformed into forts. He only built a loose-proof lilu to seize grain and feed horse supplies, and then immediately marched eastward.
After finding out that the other party is basically one man and one horse, it is a major joy: "They don't care about horsepower and forcefully march. When fighting, the horse will be exhausted. Let's see how they fight!"
He asked more than a thousand men from Haochou County to accompany him, and Yueqi Camp continued to pursue eastward. On the afternoon of September 14, when he chased Wushushan in Gukou County, he finally reached the tail of the enemy!
Wushu Mountain is not high, but it is actually five hills, like bedding, but Han soldiers stopped among the hills. More than 2,000 people from the other side, marched for a day and night, and basically never stopped. The horsepower was quite exhausted. On the other side, the two thousand cavalry brought by Chengzhong still had the power to fight.
Seeing that the opposite side was indeed holding the flag of the Tunqi Camp, Cheng Chong was relieved.
He sent someone to call for surrender and told the captain of the Tunqiying camp that he was an old friend and enjoyed wealth in the Wei Kingdom and was also granted a title. The King of Wei was short of cavalry, so he asked the Tunqiying camp to come with him, which was not better than being a bandit in the Green Forest?
But the person who went to recruit surrender was shot to death by a young school in the "Tunqi Camp", and the crossbow was accurate.
Since the persuasion of surrender was fruitless, we had to fight.
A military Sima proposed: "It is better to trap those who are here to die and wait for the army to arrive."
"I'm confused. If the army wants to guard against Liu Bosheng in the Wei River, how can we come here? If the soldiers are drawn, wouldn't it be the plan to mobilize troops?"
After being severely punished by the fifth reunion the previous time, Cheng Chong also understood the overall situation and rebuked: "There are ten things around, so we are not enough to surround them. There is a stream flowing here. Except for Wushu Mountain, they are all flat lands. The dry food, wheat and beans of those who have not yet finished. If they don't attack them when their horsepower is exhausted, should they wait for them to recover and get on the horse and escape?"
If you chase and escape, you will never end. Even if you ask hundreds of people to pass the Jingshui River by chance, Cheng Chong will cause big trouble.
"The Yueqi Camp is often scolded and finally got the opportunity to make meritorious service and must not miss it."
He was also one of the surrendered heroes. He felt uncomfortable when he saw others being granted a title of marquis and uncles, but he was just a big man.
When dealing with other armies, the Yueqi camp was timid, but they were full of confidence in the "court" of the Tunqi camp that was aware of the roots and bottoms.
With Haochou, the militias of Gukou and the two counties arrived one after another. Cheng Chong began to skillfully arrange troops, intending to annihilate them with twice the advantage of military strength.
At this time, the sky was a little dark, and the opposite side left the horses among the hills and set up a formation that Cheng Chong couldn't understand!
"I really abandoned my horse and lined up the stepping array!"
Cheng Chong only felt ridiculous: "I didn't see you in March, and the captain of the Tunqi Camp was so confused in the green forest. When Xinmang was still alive in the past, the two battalions of the Northern Army were practicing, and those were no match for our army at the moment, let alone today?"
He then raised the flag high and said, "You guys, today we are going to attack the 'friendly army' again!"
...
On September 15, Liu Bosheng's army on the other side had half of the two floating bridges built. Geng Yan also prepared a fire boat at the upstream ferry under the order of the fifth reunion. When the floating bridge was about to be repaired, he sent him to rush, asking the Han soldiers to look at the river and sigh.
But there were also controversies in the army. Some people believed that they should completely cut off the floating bridge and continue to confront Liu Bosheng, drag the war down until winter, and they would be defeated by themselves; some people believed that Liu Bosheng should be asked to repair the floating bridge so that his elite troops could cross the river to die little by little.
Geng Yan supported the latter. Since he started his army, he has been holding back his energy every time he fought, but in the end he only felt a heavy punch hitting the soft couch.
The powerful armed forces like Wu'an are just a small task; they counterattacked Weibei, and went to Wuling for three days to relax; they captured Xihe and crossed Mengmen to kill Wang Xun, and others called it happy, but Geng Yan always felt that it was almost a big deal. Every time he fought, he fell down before he could use his strength.
This is also why Geng Yan thinks he is a "super Si" far exceeding other generals and schoolmen. In the eyes of this young man in his early twenties, if the Fifth Reun always lets him be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is
I heard for a long time that Liu Bosheng is a good soldier, and may also be a good horse. Geng Yan is looking forward to a battle with him with real swords and real swords.
However, Liu Bosheng did not rush over as they expected, but instead slowly built the floating bridge. Hearing that this person was reckless, why was he so slow when fighting?
However, when the defeated soldiers of the Dangdang Yue Cavalry fled back in a panic to report the results, Geng Yan only realized what Liu Bosheng was waiting for!
"Captain Cheng Chong died in battle!"
"The Yueqi Battalion suffered hundreds of casualties and lost its captain, so it had to withdraw from Haochou, and the militias of the two counties also retreated."
Geng Yan frowned the more he heard it. The more he knew the combat power of the cavalry camp. He was sharpened by himself for several months. Unlike the past, he was indeed the level of "Zhongsi". He gradually dared to fight and fight. Why did the cavalry camp be even more brave?
"There is no need to marching."
"The horse-Leninist stepping array was abandoned and the hills were followed as the back row. The order was neat, and the sword was erected and advanced like a wall? The order was the same?"
Geng Yan savored the enemy's tactics described by the defeated soldiers, which might be exaggerated, but the strangeness became stronger and stronger. He finally said confidently: "The banner and armor are fake, and this is definitely not a garrison camp!"
"It must be the Jingchu warrior and strange swordsman from Nanyang!"
The confessions of several prisoners captured during the Yueqi Battalion also confirm this.
"The general asked the camp to make great efforts in the throne, and recruited their horses to make our Nanyang clan soldiers who could ride... "
Horseback infantry!
"Who are you generals? Who are the leaders?"
This was obviously a defeat, but Geng Yan, who had been in a low mood and could not raise his strength, suddenly became excited. After asking, he got the answer he wanted.
"Laise (xi)..." Geng Yan recited this name, and after the defeat, he continued to follow the Yueqi camp soldiers who followed Laise to report the latest military situation.
"Where has Lai She been?"
"Those who threw down the dead, and dozens of seriously injured people all committed suicide by pulling their blades. The remaining two thousand people continued to ride horses and arrived at the entrance of the Liufuququ in Jingshui, looking at the point of crossing the river!"
At this point, Lai She's goal is obvious.
Geng Yan was a little excited. He looked at the map and as the army moved to the Wuling of Jingxi to defend Liu Bosheng, there were only more than 10,000 militia guarding Zhengguo Canal, and the vast area between the Bai Canal.
"Liyang, Lai She, I want to attack Liyang!"
"So brave!"
Geng Yan couldn't help but exclaim in his crazy behavior: "Lai Jun is also the Shangsi!"
