Chapter 286 Annihilating the Enemy and Capturing Alive
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.
The ships of the Xiliang Army, disguised as merchants, docked at the shore of Liyangdu.
The soldiers on the deck were all wearing white clothes and dressed up as merchants. They gave the soldiers at Liyang Ferry and the chief here a lot of goods and requested that they could stop by Liyang Ferry for a night's rest.
The Xiliang soldiers below the deck have been sulking in a closed space, crowded with people, and they are very depressed, but they dare not make a sound.
They can only wait for the people on the deck to give orders before rushing out to attack and vent all the anger in their hearts.
It's just that there are more than two hours left before the agreed time.
During this period of time alone, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were already feeling hot and dizzy on the deck.
But after all, they are a group of well-trained soldiers, and it is absolutely impossible for this little suffering to affect the overall situation of the war.
Although the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are barbaric, their military quality is still very good.
It's a pity that this time their opponent is the Jizhou Army, led by Liu Jian.
This battle is destined to have no good outcome for them.
In the cabin, a Xiliang soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to his comrade next to him: "Brother, do you feel that the cabin suddenly became very hot?"
His Xiliang comrades frowned and looked around.
"It's strange. Logically speaking, the later it gets, the cooler it should be..."
"Why is it getting hotter and hotter?"
As the two men talked, other Xiliang Army soldiers nearby also began to whisper to each other.
"Do you feel like there's a strange smell in this cabin?"
"Yes, yes, I seem to smell it too."
"It seems like something is on fire."
"It's too stuffy and too hot."
Suddenly, a Xiliang Army soldier was heard shouting loudly: "No! It's on fire, it's on fire, the cabin is on fire!"
This sudden cry of terror instantly broke all the silence in the cabin.
Outside the cabin, Yan Liang and the others were already stationed by the river.
They first shot and killed the soldiers on the deck of the ship, and then quickly set the ship on fire.
Yan Liang laughed ferociously as he watched the cabin of the ship being opened, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army rushed out one by one from below the cabin deck, crowding crazily.
He waved the ring sword in his hand vigorously and said loudly: "Archers of crossbows, look for the sound and release arrows!"
This is indeed a bit bragging. The ship has been set on fire. Even though it is dark, under the light of the fire, there is no need to shoot for the sound, right?
As Yan Liang's words fell, countless arrows pierced the air, with shrill sounds, towards the Xiliang soldiers who escaped from the burning warship!
The soldiers who were caught in the fire in the cabin scrambled to escape from the fire cabin, trampling and fighting with each other, but the more they did so, the greater the damage they caused themselves.
On the shore, Yan Liang took advantage of the fact that those who rushed out of the cabin first did not react, and directly greeted them with a hail of arrows.
For these soldiers who had just escaped from the fire ship, this was a complete disaster.
The Xiliang soldiers, who originally wanted to take advantage of Liyangdu's soldiers who were sleepy in the middle of the night, to capture the ferry in one fell swoop, were now in dire straits because of their own plan.
The strong fire, the surging water of the Yellow River, and the strong archers on the shore reduced most of their vitality.
Before a formal fight, more than half of them were lost. This battle can be imagined.
But after all, Xiliang soldiers are the strongest army in the world. These 6,000 Xiliang warriors were specially selected by Niu Fu from the army, and their combat power is not weak.
Although they were in a desperate situation, a large number of people were still able to muster the courage to fight back after escaping from the cabin.
"Don't be afraid! Let's fight with the Hebei dog!"
"The people of Jizhou are plotting against us! Burning our ships and killing our comrades! I vow not to give up today!"
"Slaughter all the Kanto dogs!!"
The remnant soldiers of Xiliang roared with infinite anger, raised their weapons and rushed towards the shore!
There is no precise goal in their eyes, they just want to vent their current anger and fear.
At this moment, the Xiliang soldiers were fighting against the Jizhou army with the mentality of killing one to make up for their losses and killing two to gain one.
Yan Liang saw that the Xiliang soldiers were still able to muster the courage to fight with their own side in such a desperate situation. Instead of panicking, Yan Liang showed an expression of relief.
Yan Liang raised his sword and said loudly: "This is true! I have heard for a long time that the Xiliang army is the strongest army in the world, and no one in the Han Dynasty can compare with it. When I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation! Okay, let's use it
Your heads are here to accomplish Yan’s achievements!”
After saying that, Yan Liang was seen on foot, leading a group of Qingzhou Army warriors, striding towards the remaining defeated generals of Liangzhou.
When Yan Liang approached a Xiliang Sima, without saying a word, he raised his sword and struck his head with a slash!
In just an instant, the head was cut in half, blood and brains were wrapped together, and mud became a piece and spattered on Yan Liang's body.
The blood splattered on Yan Liang's body and face, which did not make him hesitate at all. On the contrary, it only increased his momentum and arrogance.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Then, Yan Liang was seen laughing wildly, without saying a word, running wildly to the left with a knife, slashing at five other enemy soldiers crazily.
Every swing of his sword will definitely kill someone. There is no one person he can kill with a second sword.
The personal bravery of a general cannot play a destructive role in a battle, but it can have a huge effect on influencing the situation of the battle and boosting morale.
At this moment, the Xiliang army was already at a disadvantage and its morale was low. Although they briefly rallied with courage, they did not provide a long-term solution and were just making a last-ditch effort.
If this momentum is blocked, they will be completely defeated and there will be no chance of escape.
And fierce generals like Yan Liang are the absolute ones who can stop their momentum.
Led by Yan Liang, the Qingzhou Army behind Yan Liang had high morale and stronger fighting spirit. At this moment, it was exerting 100% of its strength.
The courage and fighting spirit that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army had just mustered up were quickly suppressed by the offensive of Yan Liang and his group.
The war in Liyangdu was controlled by Yan Liang almost instantly.
As for the judge in the rear, hearing the sudden shouts of killing from the front and the light of the burning warships on the river, a happy smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and told Lu Xiang: "Are you ready with all the things I asked you to prepare?"
Lu Xiang hurriedly responded to the order: "Everything is ready! As ordered by the Duke, we have prepared a lot of firewood and straw and piled them in the ferry, just waiting to be burned."
"Okay, let's go and burn it. This will give Niu Fu a signal. He has put in so much effort, but what he wants is to see our food and grass being burned? Then let's burn it for him to see!"
"only!"
…
…
Soon, on the Liyang Ferry side, the fire and black smoke grew larger and larger, and finally almost turned the sky above the ferry red.
Niu Fu, who had been getting ready to go, was overjoyed when he saw this.
Although it was far away across the river bank, the fire was so dazzling that it could even illuminate the billowing smoke rising into the sky - this must be the enemy's food and grass being ignited by our own side!
Liu Jian, Liu Jian, the food route is blocked and the way back is blocked, let me see what you do!
This time, you won’t die!?
Thinking of this, Niu Fu hurriedly ordered: "Send scouts quickly to Yanjin County to find out what's going on!"
Niu Fu's scouts quickly brought back the news that Liyang Ferry was burned, and the entire Yanjin County was in chaos. The boats on Yanjin Ferry had already descended into the Yellow River, apparently carrying soldiers from the Jizhou Army to Liyang Ferry.
Rescue.
Upon hearing the news, Niu Fu's spirits were lifted.
He laughed wildly and said: "Liu Jian, Zhang Fei, you are doomed this time! Yanjin County, tonight must belong to someone like me! Immediately order the soldiers of the three armies to follow me to capture Yanjin! Liu Jian must be captured alive."
, Don’t touch that guy Zhang Fei, I will personally kill him under my horse!”
…
Shortly after Niu Fu's army left his camp, a scout Pegasus went to the camp fifteen miles northeast to report.
A strong army is stationed there at the moment.
The leader is none other than Zhang Fei.
After listening to the scout's information, Zhang Fei smiled at first, then became sad again.
"Well, my brother asked me to seize Niu Fu's camp. This is easy... He asked me to cover up and kill Niu Fu's rear army from the rear. This is not difficult to do, but I don't want to kill him. I have to capture Niu Fu alive. This
It seems to be a bit difficult for others, how can it be so easy? Alas, what should I do, but it will make it difficult for my younger brother to death!"
