"See the military advisor!" Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Li Zongtang all bowed forward.
"Three generals are so polite!" At this time, since Wang Meng is the commander-in-chief of an army, he is no longer dressed as a scribe as before. Wang Meng, who is wearing armor, can't help but bring out a bit of heroism.
"General Wenyuan, within Mengjin Pass, everything I arranged has been completed!" Wang Meng looked at Zhang Wenyuan and said in a calm voice.
"Don't worry, military advisor, everything has been arranged according to the military advisor's requirements!" Zhang Liao bowed his hands and stepped forward to answer.
"Now we just have to wait for General Han Shizhong to arrive!" Wang Meng looked at the unknown distance, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
…
Xiaopingjinguan!
"Brothers, kill me!" Huang Tianxiang, who was dressed as an ordinary soldier, flew down a rope and grabbed onto the wall. With the spear in his hand dancing, an open space was cleared on the wall in an instant.
Behind Huang Tianxiang, navy soldiers climbed up the wall one after another, climbing ladders or wall-climbing ropes.
In order to completely wipe out the Cao and Yuan armies that were attacking this time, the necessary prerequisite was to seal off the opponent's retreat on the water.
However, when Wang Meng led his troops, he considered that Han Shizhong only had 10,000 sailors, and the enemy general Liu Rengui also had 10,000 sailors. Wang Meng was worried that Han Shizhong would not be able to completely defeat Liu Rengui and completely block the Yellow River waterway.
.
Moreover, he also considered that if his own army came to help, the enemy would withdraw first when there was no hope of attacking the pass. Therefore, Wang Meng temporarily changed his plan and wanted to use Mengjing Pass as a bait to attract the enemy's attention and trap this enemy force.
Died in Mengjinguan.
In addition, there was another reason that made Wang Meng finally make the decision to abandon the pass, which was related to what Zhang Liao ordered Li Zongtang to do.
When Cao and Yuan's coalition forces entered Mengjing Pass, Han Shizhong had already led his navy all the way down the Yellow River to surprise Xiaopingjin. At the same time, the cavalry led by Wang Meng would arrive quietly and block the area outside Mengjing Pass.
As long as Han Shizhong can capture Xiaopingjin, he can completely block the enemy's advance and retreat! In addition, Zhang Liao had burned the food and grass in Mengjin Pass before retreating, and the enemy army had captured Mengjin Pass.
There is no way to stay for long.
If Wang Meng's plan is successful, it will indeed be a trap for Cao and Yuan's coalition forces. But if Han Shizhong cannot capture Xiaopingjin, he will be trapped in a cocoon. This plan is a downright dangerous plan!
Therefore, the key to this battle actually lies with Han Shizhong, who is currently attacking Xiaopingjin.
If he wins, the enemies at Mengjinguan will undoubtedly lose this battle. If he loses, when the Cao and Yuan coalition forces at the front line of Hulao Pass enter Sizhou along Xiaopingjin and Mengjinguan, then Li Xiang's plan to seize Yongliang this time will be impossible.
It will fail completely, and even Sizhou will not be protected.
It is precisely because of this that before setting off, Wang Meng ordered seven generals, Huang Tianxiang, Huang Tianjue, Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan, Wu Qian, and Huang Tianlu, to rush to Hedong to meet Han Shizhong's navy to help.
Han Shizhong made a surprise attack on Xiaopingjin.
In Xiaopingjin, Cao GUI and Cao Shen led the 30,000 Cao and Yuan coalition forces to attack Mengjin Pass, while Liu Rengui led 10,000 naval troops under his command to guard Xiaopingjin and ensure the army's retreat.
The ten thousand water army responsible for guarding Xiaopingjin was divided into two by Liu Rengui. One part was defended by the three Ruan brothers, while the other part was led by Liu Rengui himself and cruised on the water.
When Han Shizhong made a surprise attack on Xiaopingjin, he responded with his own way. The four generals Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan, and Wu Qian attracted the attention of the defenders in the pass, while Huang Tianxiang, Huang Tianjue, and Huang Tianlu
The three brothers pretended to be soldiers, took advantage of the chaos to attack the city wall, and relied on the power of fierce generals to forcibly break through.
As for Han Shizhong himself, he led 3,000 naval troops to block Liu Rengui's 6,000 naval troops, preventing them from being attacked by Liu Rengui from the front and back when attacking Xiaopingjin, putting them in a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
In Xiaopingjin, although the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi followed Liu Rengui's orders and were on guard day and night to prevent any unexpected events, Han Shizhong's surprise attack still made them panic.
Especially when Huang Tianxiang, a powerful general, entered the city, Xiaopingjin truly began to fall into a desperate situation.
If you order the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi to fight in the water, they will naturally be regarded as good hands, but if you let the three of them command the army in battle, it will really be a bit difficult for them.
Three people.
In fact, the reason why Liu Rengui kept the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi as children to guard the pass was because he had no choice. Although Liu Rengui's navy was not like Han Shizhong's navy, only Han Shizhong supported it.
With.
However, the generals of Liu Rengui's naval army are not very rich. Apart from himself, there are only four generals: Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi. Moreover, these four generals are endless.
They are all the kind of generals who are good at fighting underwater, but not good at commanding troops in combat.
Of course, when Liu Rengui returns to Qingzhou later, he will find that Song Jiang and Wu Yong have recruited a group of water heroes such as Li Jun and Tong Wei for them.
But now, with no one to send, Liu Rengui had no choice but to let brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi take the lead first.
When Huang Tianxiang had climbed onto the wall, the first reaction of brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi was to rely on their own force to kill Huang Tianxiang, and then drive down all the soldiers who had already climbed onto the wall.
city wall.
The idea seemed good, but they didn't seem to understand the difference in strength between the two sides. If they were in the water, even if there was a huge gap in their strength compared to Huang Tianxiang's, there were still ways to deal with a landlubber.
However, on land, with the strength of the three of them, it would be a bit desperate to be an enemy of Huang Tianxiang.
After all, the strength of the three brothers Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi is just that. Although they are ranked among the Tiangang, their real strength is not as good as that of many Disha. The reason why they are ranked so close
In the past, it was more because of his qualifications and his status as a water general.
Among the three Ruans, Ruan Xiaoer, the oldest, was the first to kill Huang Tianxiang with a Black Iron Overlord Knife. Ruan Xiaoer quickly rolled in front of Huang Tianxiang, and quickly cut off Huang Tianxiang's legs with the big knife in his hand.
If this knife hits the mark, then Huang Tianxiang will no longer want these legs.
Faced with Ruan Xiaoer's slash, Huang Tianxiang sneered, and slowly and forcefully pushed the spear in his hand to the ground, directly blocking Ruan Xiaoer's menacing knife.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Tianxiang kicked his leg forward heavily. Ruan Xiaoer, who had not yet reacted, was kicked away more than ten steps by Huang Tianxiang's kick.
