Chapter 343: Give Ling Tong a big gift (please give me monthly votes)
Yan Liang is here!
Thousands of Yan Jiajun athletes who were in trouble, when they saw their lord's flag flying over the battlefield, when they saw Yan Liang, a majestic god-general, appearing in front of them, the dim darkness in front of them was suddenly burned by a burning wave.
Broken by the light of dawn.
The blood is boiling again, and the fighting spirit is burning again.
In ecstasy, they burst out with anger and angrily slashed at the enemy with the swords in their hands.
The counterattack begins.
However, the Wu army, which was originally high-spirited and had the absolute upper hand, was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the Yan army, disrupting the rhythm of their attack.
When they saw that the leader of the enemy's reinforcements was actually Yan Liang, the fighting spirit of thousands of Wu troops fell to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
The tragedy and pain of Chai Sang's defeat is at least still fresh in my memory. Among the Wu troops present, there are many survivors who participated in that battle. The psychological trauma caused by Yan Liang's divine power will not last until their death.
Will forget.
Now when they meet the "god of murder" in their hearts again, the old scars are revealed, and the horrific memories break through their psychological defenses in an instant.
The Wu army began to collapse without a fight. They gave up the surrounding enemies and fled in all directions towards the hills on both sides.
Zhang Liao was extremely surprised when he saw his lord leading his army to kill him, as if he had been granted amnesty.
The depressed fighting spirit suddenly surged like thunder. Zhang Liao shouted angrily, and the sword in his hand suddenly increased its force, and the blade slashed towards Taishi Ci like a violent storm.
Taishi Ci, who was originally high-spirited, couldn't help but be horrified when he saw Yan Liang coming to kill him.
His Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yu carefully planned this strategy, expecting that Yan Liang would send light troops to seize Wuping. However, Taishi Ci never expected that Yan Liang would see through their Commander-in-Chief Zhou's plan, and a second group of troops came one after another.
Seeing that his army was scattered and defeated, Taishi Ci was extremely anxious. However, Zhang Liao, who was at a disadvantage in front of him, suddenly gained momentum and attacked furiously.
Taishi Ci's heart became colder and colder, and he became more and more anxious. Under the shock to his spirit, the gun in his hand became more and more stagnant.
"Yan Liang, this thief, can actually see through the governor's plan..."
When Taishi Ci was frightened and angry, it was already too late.
Glancing sideways, I saw Yan Liang riding his horse and wielding his sword, breaking through the insurgent army as if entering an uninhabited land, crushing and killing his soldiers like ants, and running towards him like a majestic general.
In the blink of an eye, Taishi Ci, who was the most powerful general in Soochow, felt fear in his heart.
Taishi Ci had personal experience of how strong Yan Liang's martial arts was, and the Zhang Liao in front of him was not weaker than him in martial arts.
If these two people join forces, I'm afraid they won't be able to sustain more than ten moves, and he will definitely die here.
Defeat is decided.
Although Taishi Ci was brave, he was not a reckless and foolish general. Seeing that the situation was critical and there was no room for recovery, he instantly thought of evacuating.
Seeing that Yan Liang was getting closer and closer, Taishi Ci didn't think much, so he rushed to attack with a few moves, seizing the opportunity to turn his horse and escape.
"The thief will leave—"
How could Zhang Liao allow him to escape? He immediately chased him.
However, he couldn't catch up to more than ten steps before the half-burned fireball collapsed and almost hit Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao hurriedly moved his horse to dodge, but when he escaped the falling ash fire, Taishi Ci had disappeared into the chaotic crowd and disappeared.
Zhang Liao felt a little regretful for escaping such a powerful enemy, but turning defeat into victory and defeating the powerful enemy was more than enough to make up for this regret.
Zhang Liao immediately returned to his horse and met up with Yan Liang, who was rushing towards him.
When the two cavalry met, Zhang Liao looked grateful and cupped his hands and said: "Fortunately, my lord arrived in time to kill me. Otherwise, I would have died."
Yan Liang slashed his sword across the sword and said with emotion: "If I hadn't seen through Zhou Yu's plan, I would have almost killed General Wen Yuan by mistake."
"I wonder how my lord figured out that this was Zhou Yu's plan?" Zhang Liao looked curious.
"I have fought against Tai Shi Ci. His martial arts are among the best in the world, and he is also very good at attacking. Zhou Yu did not send this man to attack Yangxia, but left him to defend the city. It was suspected that he was not using the right man. I will tell you in detail.
After thinking about it, I thought that Zhou Yu must have set up a plan to induce the general to send light troops to attack Wuping, so that he could use Taishi Ci's bravery to intercept him halfway."
In a few words, Yan Liang revealed Zhou Yu's plan, which was why he personally led a team of Xing Shenqi and followed Zhang Liao.
After listening to Yan Liang's explanation, Zhang Liao couldn't help showing admiration and was deeply impressed by Yan Liang's insight.
Looking around, we can see that the Wu army has been scattered in all directions, and most of the remaining troops are retreating towards Wuping County in the northeast.
Zhang Liaoran said happily: "Since my lord has defeated the Wu ambush, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue Wu Ping and capture Wu Ping in one fell swoop, cutting off the return path of Ling Tong's army and giving Zhou Yu a good return."
Zhang Liao made a keen judgment and was ambushed. His heart was filled with injustice and his fighting spirit was burning brightly.
His proposal was exactly what Yan Liang thought. At this time, Xu Shu and others were arriving with a large army, and Yan Liang also had the intention of attacking Wuping.
At that moment, Yan Liang joined forces with Zhang Liao, and nearly 5,000 elite infantry and cavalry troops followed Tai Shici's defeated army and pursued them all the way to Wuping.
He fled to Wuping and stayed in the Ci tribe of Taishi. At this time, there were only less than a thousand people left.
Wuping is a small county, and the city wall is only a few people high. Taishi Ci knew that with his defeated army, he could not defend the county, so he had to send people to take the waterway to notify Ling Tong upstream to retreat, and he had to lead
The defeated army retreated towards the main force of Ku County.
At dusk, Yan Liang retook Wuping with almost no bloodshed.
…
In the evening, Yan Liang rode out of the city and rushed to the Wishui River to inspect the military situation.
Standing on his horse and looking from afar, watching the Wu warships on the water going back and forth at will, Yan Liang suddenly realized that there was a slight flaw in his plan.
The flaw is that there is no boat.
The Wishui River is not a large river system. Both its depth and width are far inferior to those of the Yangtze River and even the Han River.
In addition to being used as transportation lines, such rivers are actually not suitable for water warfare. This is why historically, the Wu navy's navy was rampant in the Yangtze River, but once it entered the north, its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
But the problem is that no matter how small the vortex is, it is not small enough for Yan Liang's soldiers and horses to launch into the water to intercept the enemy ships. Although Yan Liang captured Wuping and cut off the land passage, Ling Tong could still arrogantly ride on the water.
The ship passed under his nose.
Without a boat, Yan Liang could not block Bu Ling Tong's return.
Looking at the sparkling water, Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there are no warships. I'm afraid I can only watch Ling Tong escape from under his nose."
Zhang Liao, who was accompanying him, was also looking at the water, his stern face thoughtful.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said hurriedly: "My lord, the general has a way. Perhaps he can cut off the Wu people's return route without the need for warships."
"What method?" Yan Liang suddenly became interested.
Zhang Liao then explained his plan in an awkward manner.
Yan Liang listened and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, thinking that Zhang Liao was indeed a good general with both wisdom and courage. It seemed that he was the right choice to use him as a forward this time.
Excited, Yan Liang smiled happily and said: "Wen Yuan's plan is very clever and very good. Just do it as you say and we will prepare a big gift for Ling Tong."
…
One day later, Wuping was ten miles upstream.
Hundreds of Wu army warships were taking advantage of the current to sail downstream.
Because the water surface of the vortex is not wide, it can only accommodate a few warships for half a row. The Wu navy with more than a hundred ships formed a formation that was several miles long.
On the deck of Qiqi, Ling Tong looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
Just one day ago, he led a thousand soldiers and horses, under the banner of 4,000 men, and marched towards Yangxia upstream in a mighty manner.
Just when he was leisurely, he received an urgent report from downstream: Taishi Ci was defeated and retreated eastward, and Wuping County had been lost.
Ling Tong never expected that the strategy of the Governor Zhou whom he admired would be discovered once again by Yan Liang, the traitorous general of the Yuan family.
This is the second thing. What really made Ling Tong feel nervous was that Wuping County was lost and Yan Liang cut off his return route.
But after a moment of panic, Ling Tong quickly calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, although Yan Liang captured Wuping, he did not have enough ships to cut off the Wishui channel.
Thinking of this, Ling Tong calmed down the panic of the soldiers, ordered the ship to turn around and retreat downstream at full speed.
The boat moved like the wind, and half an hour later, it had entered Wuping County.
Ling Tong raised his eyes and looked downstream, but saw that the water in front of him was clear. As he expected, there was no Yan Liang's ship.
On both sides of the vortex, groups of Yan Jun's Qingqi were following Ling Tong's fleet. They looked like they wanted to get on board and fight, but they had no choice but to look at the water and sigh.
Looking coldly at Yan Jun, who was following him like a dog on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Ling Tong's frown gradually loosened, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Yan Liang, even if you defeat Tai Shi Ziyi and recapture Wu Ping, so what? How can you stop my warship? I will not pass under your nose in a show of force..."
When Ling Tong sneered, the Wu people on the warship also relaxed greatly. They began to yell at Yan Jun on both sides of the strait, show off their power, and ridicule wantonly.
The boat was moving faster and faster, and on the south bank of the vortex, Ling Tong saw the huge flag with the word "Yan" in it.
He could vaguely see the figure that looked like an iron tower under the banner, and there was no doubt that it was Yan Liang.
Although Yan Liang's face could not be seen clearly, Ling Tong could vaguely feel that Yan Liang must have a gloomy look on his face at this moment, angry but helpless as he paid attention to him.
There was a trace of pride in the corner of Ling Tong's mouth, as if Taishi Ci had lost his morale after the defeat, but it was slightly restored by his show of force today.
Just when Ling Tong was feeling proud, the warship under his feet suddenly shook violently. The warship, which was originally traveling along the current, suddenly stopped moving.
Just as they were moving, several other parallel warships seemed to have hit something at the same time. They were all unable to move and were blocked in the water.
Ling Tong's expression changed and he asked anxiously: "What's going on? Why doesn't the boat move?"
"Back to the general, there seems to be something stuck under the water to the warship!" the sailor exclaimed.
Ling Tong's originally proud mood was shattered in an instant. (To be continued.
