Chapter 571

But Deng Yu was also looking up at the celestial phenomena on the other side of the Han River, worried.

"Last night, it was obviously full of stars, but today the weather changed."

Although Deng Yu bet on Liu Xiu's strategy and his military capabilities, he did not place his bet on his opponent's stupidity. Cen Peng was a respectable opponent, and these two words would never be enough for him. As a place where the Wei army stationed grain, how could Fancheng be unprepared? At least thousands of troops were stationed, and there were newly arrived troops.

However, Deng Yu fought against them, and they were unscrupulous in cooperation with the old army. He was nervous, so his target was not the hard Fancheng, but the dock outside the Fancheng embankment and the floating bridge connecting to Xiangyang.

Therefore, Deng Yu asked someone to collect rosin from the forest, and what the troops carried were not dry food, but were carrying the wet food.

Half a day ago, the Han general Ma Wu, who met with Deng Yu by the tributary of the Han River, rode a horse. Last month, he was ordered by Feng Yi to fight everywhere in Caiyang and Chongling, and fought all the way to his hometown Huyang. He circled a lot in the southeast of Nanyang, but Cen Peng acted as if he was giving up the corner and ignored Ma Wu. Just when Ma Wu was angry and was about to attack Wancheng, he was shocked to hear that the fifth reunion came to take charge...

The originally shaky situation in Nanyang was suddenly stabilized due to the arrival of Emperor Wei. Ma Wu also found that it was not easy to mobilize the masses to oppose Wei in Nanyang. Most of the powerful men were wiped out by the Red Eyebrows. The Wei army inherited this situation. The mud legs were benefited a little, and with the support of the Wei army and officials, it was really necessary to create a powerful man's rebellion!

So Ma Wu had to return, and Deng Yu sent someone to send a message, so he combined two to one.

But Ma Wu had a lot of complaints about Deng Yu's plan, and pointed to the ghost weather, and said in confusion: "Deng Situ, it's cloudy and rainy. Can your fire attack work?"

What is my fire attack? Deng Yu knew that Ma Wu and other veterans of Green Forest were respectful to Feng Yi, but they were not very convinced of himself. The lieutenants under his command were quite doubtful about Deng Yu, a young general, leading the surprise soldiers. Even if he brought them all the way from Chaisang, a real battle was different from being able to manage a good marching.

The arrow has already come out of the string. If it retreats now, it will cause trouble. Deng Yu can only insist: "The weather in Nanyang is often like this, and it is often gloomy all day long. At this time, the wind will blew. The fire will burn even harder by the wind."

Okay, he has to bet again now: the rain won't come.

In order to appease everyone, Deng Yu had to use his childhood character as a "saint child" to create a superstition that he didn't believe in. He said mysteriously: "I looked up at the celestial phenomena yesterday and saw the stars lined up, Taibai went against the wind, invading the cows, and fighting. This is a sign of robbery in the Yin and Yang family of the soldiers, and it is suitable to attack the camp."

Liu Xiuzhi firmly believed in prophecies and divination. No matter whether it was the truth or lies, this trick was really popular among the Han army, but it was not as exaggerated as Liu Ziyu, Hebei.

Deng Yu looked at Ma Wu, who was still hesitant, and used the method of instigation and deliberately said: "Before I left Chaisang, Your Majesty said that although Ma Wu once said that he was timid and had no strategy, Wu was indeed brave! When King Huaiyang (Emperor Gengshi) was in power, he often became a general and practiced military service, which was definitely different from those of you, such as the history of the officials!"

Liu Xiu did say this to Ma Wu. Now Deng Yu is reducing his value, claiming to be a civil servant, and acknowledging Ma Wu's qualifications and ability.

He continued: "Recalling that when the general led his troops to assist His Majesty, he encountered a battle with Chimei. The enemy's soldiers were greatly defeated. Seeing that the temptation failed, they were about to be completely wiped out. It was the general's army in the palace, but instead of retreating, he advanced and broke through the enemy's pursuers in one fell swoop. Therefore, the general was granted a title of marquis, not as a relative of the outside world, but as a real military merit!"

"Later, the decisive battle in Pengcheng, the generals were always the vanguard, fighting forward, and all the generals led their troops to follow. Your Majesty and I both believed that Ma Gong was the one who was the best of the volunteers in the three armies!"

Ma Wu is a rough man. His words made him feel excited and he also liked Deng Yu a lot.

Deng Yu's lobbying skills are not weak, and he continued: "The Emperor and Han are in a prosperous and abolished. If this battle can be achieved, you and I can make a contribution to the world. How dare Deng Yu ask the general to be the vanguard and seize the dock of Fancheng for me? General Ma can still rush?"

"certainly!"

Ma Wu tightened the long halberd in his hand: "The pseudo-Wei emperor had a relative Ma Yuan, and his military achievements were brilliant, so he could be known to the world, and the southern horses were not inferior!"

...

At night, as the dark clouds in the sky continued to gather, the wind became even bigger, blowing the Wei army's flags completely spread out, and the floating bridge connecting the north and south of the Han River shaking, making Cen Peng, who was crossing the river, could only get off the horse and walk, and even almost stepped into the two ships in a misstep.

"Be careful, General!"

The soldiers hurriedly supported them. Just when they persuaded them that the wind was strong and they were still walking slowly, Cen Peng shook them away: "A moment of slowing down, Fancheng will be more dangerous."

They had already walked on the pontoon bridge, and the campfire reflected the long embankment of Fancheng in a distance. It was it that blocked the endless impact of the Han River and created a dock where ships could shelter.

But the dam could not resist the attacks from land.

After walking more than ten steps, the wind from the northeast to the southwest brought a burst of noise and exclamation, followed by the sound of swords and swords colliding. They were not very loud at first and were easily covered by the sound of water flowing, but Cen Peng heard it.

"Qianli Miles, hurry!"

The people following Cen Peng stopped their steps. Their general stood on the swaying floating bridge, holding the thousand-mile mirror given by the emperor, looking at the dock on the other side. There was indeed a battle. A rocket crossed the night sky and pulled out light marks. The first wooden barracks caught fire, followed by the second, and the collapsed tents showed their tongues of flames.

"quick!"

Cen Peng had no time to say this, so he got on his horse again and started running on the pontoon bridge, following closely behind. Although there were scouts and monitors, the Han army made every move, but the return report still had deviations and delayed. The actions of the Han army on the North Bank were at least two hours faster than Cen Peng expected!

The horse ran hundreds of steps on the bumpy floating bridge. Cen Peng met his confidant whom he sent to Fancheng to send an order. He was running south with panic on his face. Both sides almost ran into each other. After stopping, he saw his general clearly and hurriedly reported:

"General Cen, Fancheng Wharf was attacked!"

It turned out that Deng Yu and Ma Wu divided the work, and Deng Situ led many torches, creating the illusion of thousands of troops, approaching the defenders of Fancheng, setting up a formation in the east and south of the city, and being able to set up a formation that could barely be seen at night, which shows that Deng Yu is indeed proficient in military tactics.

Ma Wu launched a fierce attack on the wharf.

Cen Peng asked: "Have everyone at the pier camp been withdrawn yet?"

"I originally wanted to leave at the general's order to leave an empty camp, but the Han army came too quickly..."

Not far from them, miserable screams resounded across the north shore, and could already cover the sound of flowing water in turn.

There was a bloody battle on the shore. Cen Peng didn't care about anything and just continued to take his men and horses away. Fortunately, they finally stepped onto the thick land before the Han army attacked here. They swayed on the floating bridge for a long time. Their legs were soft and they never felt that the ground was so stable.

Cen Peng's people were waiting here anxiously. The pier camp was a temporary Muzhai, which had been completely attacked by the Han army.

It is too late to organize a counterattack, not to mention that this is the bait that Cen Peng intends to throw to the Han army, so he made a quick decision: "Don't enter the camp, go around the wooden wall and walk west!"

When they galloped westward, the rumbling horse hooves on the ground were almost covered by the roar of fighting in the camp. Some of them could not bear to follow them and chased Cen Peng and said, "General, the soldiers who were too late to leave are still fighting to the death. If we go to help them..."

Listening to those screams, Cen Peng's heart was like a knife. The Wei army in Fancheng belonged to two systems: Cen Peng's left-behind troops, the baggage troops brought by Ren Guang, and the baggage troops camped under Fancheng. He had long been ordered by Cen Peng and would not come out to give Deng Yu a chance.

But most of the soldiers at the dock were Cen Peng's direct descendants, and everyone who insisted on fighting was Cen Peng's good soldiers, as if burning his hair and beard, it hurts so much!

However, even though he was sad, Cen Peng did not say a word.

"What I need is victory for the entire battle, not an irrelevant battle!"

They had already bypassed the camp. If they turned around at this time, they could see that the battle was coming to an end. Fires were lit in many places. Many black shadows could be seen moving among the flames. The iron armor of the Han army flashed orange light, while the defeated soldiers of the Wei army were running out, and many people were buried in the camp.

Some Han troops chased after him like a torrent of steel and flames, but they quickly retreated. Obviously, the opponent's target was not killing, but destroying the docks and pontoon bridges.

However, the wharf was still four miles away from the city wall. Deng Yu's army blocked Fancheng and between the wharfs, resulting in the east and south gates being unable to go. There were many Han army scouts and cavalry nearby. Of course, there were also Wei army, including many people ordered to pick up Cen Peng. However, with the fierce attack of the Han army, they encountered the enemy and fought in a messy battle in the night, and they could not be found one by one.

Cen Peng ran wildly with dozens of cavalry. Although they wiped out the torches, they were all wearing straw raincoats and hats on their heads, covering their clothing identity, but they still attracted the attention of the Han army's cavalry. They began to try to chase them with the torches.

Without Cen Peng giving orders, a team of guards slowed down their horses and turned around to meet the enemy. They only had time to leave a sentence in the wind:

"Precaution, General!"

Cen Peng could only hear those uneven roars, the collision of swords and swords after they rushed towards the enemy, the neighing of horses, the sharp sound of gold and iron intersecting, and then the screams and screams, but he didn't know who survived to the end.

During the next four miles, whenever the enemy was blocked, some of Cen Peng's personal guards would take the initiative to cut off the rear, leaving behind a blessing.

"General Zhennan will win this battle!"

His ears were chilled by the night wind, but his nose and eyes were warm. Cen Peng never looked back. He knew his mission.

I don’t know when it was, but Cen Peng rushed to the camp of the Wei army left behind outside the west gate of Fancheng: Fancheng was too small to accommodate more than 10,000 people, and the troops brought by Ren Guang could only camp outside the city. The camp here was quite strong and could be called a small city. The troops here were ordered to hold on and watch their colleagues sitting at the dock defeated, their morale was low, and rumors spread everywhere.

Everyone was worried.

Everyone was panicked.

Deng Yu and Feng Yi's plan seemed to be just a little bit successful.

"Deng Yu was defeated."

In the cloudy sky, I finally couldn't hold it in. When the heavy rain fell, Cen Peng entered the camp through the military talisman.

He took off his straw raincoat, threw away his hat, and never left a few followers, took over and put on his eye-catching general helmet, and raised his proud bird tail high, allowing everyone to see him!

It's not just because of this rain.

"And because I'm here!"
