Chapter 1032 Deng Sai (2)
Not long after, a killing sound from Dunser was heard.
Zhang He was shocked.
Guan Yu actually launched a strong attack! He only used a thousand people to attack Deng Sei!
After more than ten miles, the sound of fighting was still loud, and the sound of drums and horns came one after another, like thunder rolling. Even at the top of Fancheng, Zhang He could still feel the ground shaking and the murderous aura filled with the air.
Zhang He narrowed his eyes, listened quietly, and tried his best to distinguish the situation on the battlefield.
The sound of drums and horns on the battlefield, different rhythms and heights, represent different meanings. For an old corps like Zhang He, judging the situation of the battle is a basic skill. While listening, he murmured: "Is this attacking the upper camp? The offensive seems to be very fierce!... After attacking for a while, he turned to the lower camp? No, is this turning back again?"
He frowned and turned to ask the left and right generals: "What trick is Guan Yu playing?"
All the generals were reluctant to answer.
Zhang He listened again, and after a moment, it seemed that the Jingzhou army had turned back to the camp for the second time? What does this mean? Isn’t Guan Yu doing this, isn’t he afraid of his soldiers being tired?
He thought about it and then, but he felt confused. The more he was confused, the more he felt something was wrong with Dengse. He jumped up to the high ground of the city platform and looked at it, but the sky became dimmer and dimmed. In the direction of Dengse, he could only see the vague silhouettes of the camp and the mountains.
Zhang He gritted his teeth. He knew that this inexplicable situation was the most dangerous. He was in Fancheng, but he would never let Deng Se move.
He looked at his subordinates again, and everyone looked up at him.
He patted the long knife on his waist hard and made a decision: "I will take a thousand people to support Dunsey!"
The thousand elite soldiers had already completed their preparations, and Zhang He immediately left the city with an order.
After leaving the city for only two miles, Zhang He suddenly heard another change in the killing sound in the direction of Deng Sue. Suddenly, a sound of exclamation and cheering burst out at the same time. The sound of exclamation became looser and looser, and the sound of cheering became louder and louder, and it went straight into the sky!
"Not good! No!" Zhang He complained repeatedly. When the army was urging his troops to advance quickly, the former commander Fang, who had sent out, came back.
Zhang He ordered him to approach: "How is Dengse?"
Captain Fang's face was gone and his legs were trembling: "General, Deng Se is lost!"
“How did you lose it??”
"Then Guan Yu personally led the armored soldiers and made great efforts to attack Shangzhai first and attacked more than a hundred people. The soldiers of Shangzhai were trying their best to resist, so he turned to Xiazhai and killed him again. When General Dong Heng of Xiazhai was dispatching troops to support him, he suddenly withdrew and headed to Shangzhai again."
"What kind of strange fighting method is this?" Zhang He asked angrily.
"Guan Yu rushed back and forth twice. So when Shangzhai was attacked, Xiazhai took the opportunity to repair the camp, sort out the bodies, and transport the injured soldiers; when Xiazhai was attacked, Shangzhai also seized the time to rest..."
When Captain Fang said this, Zhang He immediately said in a lost voice: "How can he be so passive?"
As soon as he said that, he understood that when these two soldiers of the village faced Guan Yu, there was no courage to take the initiative? One village was attacked, and the other village did not dare to move and went out to cover it. The so-called horn-bending momentum was simply a joke. Having said that, Deng Sei was attacked by Guan Yu, what initiative could he have in Fancheng?
"You keep talking." Zhang He said.
The captain Fang said: "After Guan Yu attacked Shangzhai in the third round, he still broke into the lower village. But this time, they pretended to retreat, and left Shangzhai for more than 200 steps, and suddenly turned back. At this time, their offensive was much more fierce, and the powerful crossbows in the Jingzhou army were also launched at the same time, which was several times better than before!"
Zhang He had a cold face: "When the decisive battle was at the critical moment, Dong Chao was busy packing up the camp."
The captain Fang said in a low voice: "That's right, General Dong Chao was commanding the repair of deer antlers by the village wall, and was completely caught off guard... He was shot to death on the spot. The iron-armored soldiers under Guan Yu's army entered the camp with sharp axes and hammers, and their momentum was destroyed. The defenders of the upper village completely collapsed within half a moment, and the defeated soldiers rushed over the village wall and fled towards the direction of the lower village. Guan Yu's army was in a high position to chase after him, and followed the defeated soldiers into the lower village, and then..."
Zhang He waved his hand, letting Captain Fang not say anything more.
His left and right personal soldiers looked very heavy, and some people couldn't help but hold their waists tightly, but they didn't know what to do next.
Zhang He was silent for a moment and briefly ordered: "Get out of his troops and return to the city."
The team in front of the group turned back and rolled back to the city.
When the troops returned to guard the city walls, Zhang He stood on the city trail and chuckled softly: "No matter what, Guan Yu took Deng Se first, so he respected me, Zhang Junyi."
The left and right generals didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhang He turned to the military officers around him and said, "I sent another envoy, and he was still one man and three horses. He rushed north and reported that Guan Yu's troops were extremely sharp and had already taken Deng Se."
"yes."
Zhang He took two steps to the city, and then stopped calling the military officers back: "Since Deng Sai changed hands, the high ground to the north was blocked. Arrange a light boat for the envoy, letting them set out from the west of the city, cross the lake and swamp... and go and do it quickly."
"yes."
When the military officers went, Zhang He waved to the deputy again and said, "It's already late. Even if Guan Yu's troops are iron men, they don't have much energy to attack Fancheng again. However, you can't relax when patrolling the city at night. All departments must be careful and be careful of their attacks at night."
The deputy general took the order.
Zhang He thought for a while and said to his entourage leader: "Look up two hundred elite soldiers and be prepared. If the Jingzhou army attacks in the evening, it would be fine. If they don't come..."
He spoke to the entourage leader, but several generals and officials asked, "So what if they don't come?"
Zhang He smiled and said, "The Jingzhou army has at most 30,000 people. They will attack and kill Xiangyang and then break Xiangyang and Dengsai. Are they really iron men? It's just because Guan Yu is good at motivating. If they don't come to harass tonight, it proves that the fatigue of the Jingzhou army is better than our army. Then, in the early morning tomorrow, I will lead my entourages to kill in the direction of Dengsai and say hello to Guan Yu!"
"This..." The entourage leader hesitated a little.
"What? What are you hesitating about?"
The entourage leader gritted his teeth: "Then Guan Yu was bravest in the three armies, known as Xionghu. The general attacked with light troops. If anything..."
Zhang He chuckled twice again: "You don't understand!"
The entourage leader was a little surprised. Zhang He turned to the other generals and officers: "Do you understand?"
The generals shook their heads one after another.
Zhang He explained: "The King of Wei personally led the army and set out south long ago. Even if we were not in a hurry, General Yu Jin, General Zhu Ling and other troops should arrive in Fancheng tomorrow. Therefore, although Guan Yu was fierce, he could not shake the overall situation. However, the King of Wei will inevitably ask in the future, what did your Zhang He and your subordinates do when Xiangyang, Dengsai and other places fall? How do you answer?"
If the King of Wei is so strict, the generals and officials all showed nervous expressions.
Zhang He looked around everyone and said slowly: "So, we must have some results, right? At least we can take back the heads of the enemy generals tomorrow to explain to the King of Wei!"
The generals suddenly realized and claimed that they were.
After all, Zhang He is also a veteran in the battle formation. Even if he does not have particularly outstanding results in advancing, retreating, attacking and defense on the battlefield, he is not inferior to others. Although Deng Sai changed hands one after another in Xiangyang and Guan Yu's momentum is terrifying, Zhang He regained his calmness after a little panic. He assigned personnel with clear priorities and preparations for both offense and defense.
He also knew that the most troublesome thing was that the soldiers were panicked about Guan Yu's fear. So he used this passage to tell the soldiers that reinforcements would arrive in a moment, and he still had the courage to fight back.
What the soldiers need is this kind of motivation.
Everyone had their own plans for the situation on the battlefield. At this time, Zhang Heruo said something about money and the generous rewards of official titles would only make the soldiers feel that the general was so arrogant and acted improperly, and then confirmed that the situation would inevitably be critical.
At present, Zhang He was still fighting spirit and calm, and he could even plan how to deal with the future accountability of the King of Wei. The soldiers suddenly relaxed a lot.
At night.
The messengers sent by Zhang He ran one after another.
Because the terrain was difficult to distinguish at night, three groups of messengers, totaling nine people and twenty-seven horses, more than half of which were lost in the flooded rivers and the uncapped swamps, and they had nowhere to fall. But the rest of them all collided with Yu Jin and the troops of the two generals Zhu Ling who were heading south one after another.
The subordinates of the two generals did not dare to delay when they received the messenger, so they immediately led them to see the master.
Yu Jin was sleeping on a boat. When he heard the Xiangfan army newspaper, he turned over and sat up, and let the messenger come in in a deep voice. When he knew that Xiangyang had fallen, Guan Yu led his troops across the Han River to the north, his face remained as iron: "You all go to the front cabin and wait for the military discussion. In addition, please immediately ask General Zhu Ling to come."
When his subordinates retreated, Yu Jin got up and put on his military uniform and swords. His movements were still calm, but the bronze mirror beside the bed reflected the blue veins on his forehead swelling, and even his hands were shaking slightly.
