Hearing that the other party agreed to his suggestion, Guan Ping couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his arms to the Chu army behind him and shouted: "The whole army retreats ten miles! Set up camp!"
The combat effectiveness of the Chu army may not be as good as that of the Western Qin army, but the Chu army's military discipline is equally strict! Guan Yu's reputation among the Chu army is second only to that of his lord Liu Bei. As Guan Yu's eldest son, Guan Ping is responsible for giving orders in the army.
It was a matter of course, and Guan Yu was nearby and did not speak. The Chu army immediately acted according to Guan Ping's order. Guan Xing on the side seemed to disagree with Guan Ping's order, but when he saw Guan Ping winking at him, Guan Xing
Xing could only shut up and help Guan Yu retreat with Guan Ping. On the other side, after seeing the retreat of the Chu army, he also retreated ten miles under Wei Yan's order.
After finally waiting for the Chu army to retreat to the designated position, Guan Ping, who had been supporting Guan Yu, said to Guan Xing and asked him to direct the soldiers to set up camp, while he supported Guan Yu and walked to the side. When he walked to the side, there was a bush of small trees.
In the woods, after confirming that there was no one else around, Guan Yu, who had acted as if nothing had happened before, suddenly changed his expression and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing a bunch of grass in front of him scarlet!
Seeing Guan Yu vomiting blood, Guan Ping, who was already very worried, was also startled. He hurriedly helped Guan Yu sit down and asked with concern on his face: "Father! How are you?"
Guan Yu waved his hand and sat on a stone slab beside him with a pale face. Originally, his injuries were no different from Zhao Yun's. They were both injured internally by the strong rebound. If Guan Yu had vomited blood on the spot like Zhao Yun just now,
I was afraid that everything would be fine a long time ago, but Guan Yu was too proud to hold back the bruise. Now his small injury turned into a big one, and he wouldn't be able to recover for half a month!
In front of his son, Guan Yu no longer concealed anything, and said in a deep voice: "My current injury is not serious! I'm afraid I won't be able to fight tomorrow! Although Zhao Yun's injury is not much better than mine, he still has a few
They are formidable opponents. You two brothers alone may not be able to deal with them! In tomorrow's battle, General Dou will not be able to defeat them! We must find another way!"
Even Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, would say such words, and Guan Ping also knew that things were indeed bad. But if he didn't fight the opponent and just fought hard like this, Guan Ping wouldn't have much confidence that he could defeat the opponent.
, after all, the reputation of the Maobian Qingqi and the Lidu heavy cavalry is too great. Even if the Chu army has a numerical advantage, it may be difficult to win against the impact of the Maobian light cavalry and the Liduo heavy cavalry!
How could Guan Yu not know about Guan Ping's concerns? However, compared to Guan Ping, Guan Yu is a veteran who has been fighting for decades. He quickly came up with a way to deal with it. Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Tonight at midnight
, we will enter the city from the south of Bohai City and secretly occupy Bohai City! With Bohai City as a cover, and our army’s superior number of soldiers and horses, the Western Qin Army will never be able to break through Bohai City!"
"Father!" Upon hearing Guan Yu's idea, Guan Ping's eyes lit up at first, but he subconsciously turned around and glanced at Bohai City in the distance, then frowned and said, "But the attack of the Western Qin Army
The city's weapons are powerful. Even if we occupy Bohai City, we are afraid that the walls of Bohai City will not be able to stop the attack of the Western Qin army's siege weapons! The west city wall has been defeated. We want to rely on the city wall to resist the west Qin army's siege weapons.
The Qin army is probably of no use either!"
"Wrong!" Guan Yu shook his head and said: "The most powerful of the Western Qin army in front of us are the two cavalry, and we occupied Bohai City just to abolish the role of the two cavalry of the Western Qin army! Although we
The city wall will be destroyed by the siege weapons of the Western Qin Army, but as you just saw, the collapsed city wall can still prevent the cavalry from fully functioning! Without these two cavalry, the remaining Youzhou Army cannot
It must be stronger than our Chu army, and our Chu army has a numerical advantage, so it will definitely be able to block the offensive of the Western Qin army! As long as we hold the Bohai Sea and prevent the Western Qin army from going south, our mission will be completed!"
The 150,000 troops brought by Guan Yu this time can be said to have exhausted all the troops and horses in Qingzhou. Now Qingzhou can be said to have no defense at all! But Guan Yu did this because he was ordered by Liu Bei to mobilize troops and horses specially.
Came to help Bohai! It’s just that Guan Yu came a step too late this time. Otherwise, Guan Yu’s troops and horses, plus the defenders in Bohai City, working together from inside and outside, would be enough to repel the Western Qin army!
Guan Ping was a general who had been taught by Guan Yu since he was a child. Naturally, he understood everything and immediately understood Guan Yu's intention. He nodded and said: "My child understands! My child will go and prepare together with his second brother! Father, you
The injury..." Although Guan Ping did not finish what he said, the meaning behind it was very obvious that he was worried about Guan Yu's injury.
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "My injury is not serious, just take care of it! You go and get ready first! I will come over after I take a rest!" After saying that, he waved to Guan Ping and asked him to go first.
Guan Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally gave Guan Yu a fist salute, then turned around to implement the plan he had just agreed upon. But after Guan Ping left, Guan Yu's calm expression immediately changed, and then he vomited again.
Blood! Guan Yu didn't tell the truth in the end just now. How could Guan Yu not know about his own injury? I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything in the next half month! Otherwise, with Guan Yu's character, how could he resort to such cowardly methods?
Fight this battle?
After spitting out the blood, Guan Yu's suffocation finally dissipated a lot. He raised his head and looked up at the moon that was gradually hanging in the sky. His face was pale and helpless. He shook his head and sighed: "A Zhao Yun is so powerful, then
Where are Dian Wei, Xu Chu and even Luo Yang in the Western Qin Army? Can we really defeat such a powerful enemy? I hope it will be smoother for the third brother! As a brother, we can only do this
This is the step!" Guan Yu, who had always been confident in himself, now felt hopeless about his future for the first time.
—————————————————Dividing line————————————————————————“Great! It’s really great
!" A cheer came from outside the camp, but Zhang Liao, who was handling military affairs inside the camp, didn't even raise his head. There was only one person who dared to shout like this in his camp, and that was Gan Ning! Sure enough,
Seeing Gan Ning rushing in directly from the camp, holding a piece of brocade silk in his hand, he quickly rushed to Zhang Liao's side and shouted to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan! Look! Look! This is great news.
!”
Zhang Liao slowly finished writing the last step, then put the bamboo slip in front of him aside, raised his head helplessly, looked at Gan Ning, and said: "Xingba! It's enough for you to leave all the military affairs of your Jiangdong Army to me.
It's too much. You are still making trouble every day. Aren't you afraid that I will throw my hands away and no longer care about the military affairs of your Jiangdong Army?"
"Uh!" When Zhang Liao said this, Gan Ning couldn't help but shrink his head, but he scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Oh! Wen Yuan! It's my fault! It's my fault! Don't you mind?
Remember the villain! You also know that these military affairs are too complicated and I can't wrap my head around it. I can't do it at all! I used to have Liu Zichu by my side to help me, but now Liu Zichu has been transferred to Yizhou by his lord.
, leave these military affairs behind, if you don’t help me, won’t I be so busy that my head is spinning? How can I still go into battle to kill the enemy?”
Gan Ning's rogue tone also made Zhang Liao helpless. He could only shake his head, looked at the brocade silk in Gan Ning's hand, and asked: "Okay! Xingba, what is this in your hand? It's you.
The good news you just mentioned?"
Zhang Liao's mention made Gan Ning think of it, and he immediately handed the brocade silk to Zhang Liao with excitement, and then said: "Of course this is good news! Now we don't have to stay in this ghost anymore.
It’s a place!”
Zhang Liao ignored the overly excited Gan Ning and carefully read what was written on the Fang brocade silk. However, after just reading for a while, Zhang Liao's expression became serious. This Fang brocade silk was from the Western Qin Dynasty.
According to the information sent by Jinyiwei, the intelligence department, Liu Bei dispatched 100,000 troops from Xuzhou, led by General Zhang Fei himself, and rushed to Yanzhou to assist Cao Cao!
After reading this information, Zhang Liao immediately understood the reason why Gan Ning was so excited. According to the military order issued from Chang'an, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning will lead Yangzhou soldiers and horses to station in Guangling to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops to Guangling. But if
If Liu Bei did not send troops to Guangling, but went directly to aid Yanzhou, then Zhang Liao and Gan Ning could immediately send troops to take Pengcheng! Gan Ning had long been tired of staying in Guangling City, but was forced by military orders and did not dare to act without authorization. Now Liu Bei
Sure enough, the army went to Yanzhou, doesn't that mean Gan Ning can finally leave here! No wonder Gan Ning is so excited!
To be honest, Zhang Liao didn't want to stay here forever. Seeing that the final battle for Western Qin to unify the world was about to begin, as a general of Western Qin, how could Zhang Liao be willing to just stay in a corner and not be able to participate in this battle that would surely go down in history?
During the war? But looking at this information, Zhang Liao always felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why!
Gan Ning, who was on the side, could not control that much anymore, and said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan! Look! According to the information sent by the Jinyi Guards before, Liu Bei only had a total of 200,000 troops in Xuzhou! Now Liu Bei has sent 100,000 troops.
When the army goes out, only half of the garrison in Xuzhou is left, and they have to be stationed in various cities and counties in Xuzhou! The Yangzhou army you brought is 30,000! The Jiangdong army I brought is also more than 20,000! Add up,
It may be difficult to capture the cities of Xuzhou one by one, but if we go north along the Surabaya River to capture Tapi, and then divert the water, we can go straight to Pengcheng! The defenders of Pengcheng are only 20,000, and there are no generals to guard it. We have to capture Pengcheng.
, if Liu Bei is captured, won’t all the Chu troops surrender?”
