Although Zhou Yu has been suppressing Guo Jia since the Battle of Huai River, to be honest, Zhou Yu himself has no confidence. Even if he is conceited and not inferior to others, it is still delusional to easily defeat a top wise man like Guo Jia.
With the sound of an arrow, Wenpin, who had already prepared his troops because of the noise in the camp outside the forest, did not hesitate at all. He roared and rushed out of the forest. The soldiers who had already been lined up rushed out en masse.
Wenpin took the lead and shot an arrow directly at Zhou Cang, who was the first to enter Zhou Yu's formation. The arrow burst out. Zhou Cang tried his best to dodge, but was still shot through the right chest under the collarbone. Fortunately, Zhou Cang was shot.
Cang himself is a rough-skinned and thick-bodied person, so a minor injury won’t bother him at all!
However, Wenpin's army rushed out, and under the hail of arrows, Guan Yu's soldiers were obviously in chaos. In addition, Wenpin also took the lead and rushed into the strongest point of Guan Yu's army, using powerful force to break the formation. Guan Yu's army soon broke the formation.
The situation became chaotic.
However, at this time, Zhou Cang, as a brave general, immediately stopped charging and turned to resist Wenpin. However, Guan Yu's army was already in decline. Zhou Yu was inside and Wenpin was outside, so the two sides joined forces to break the formation.
Although Zhou Cang said that he could withstand Wenpin's charge with support from the left and right, and although the number of school swordsmen was small, they could withstand the counterattack of Wenpin's army in a short time; but killing Pei Yuanshao could not withstand the fierce attack of Zhou Yu's soldiers.
, the decline of Guan Yu's army became more and more obvious with the steady advance of Zhou Yu's soldiers.
However, before Zhou Yu could think about it, following Zhou Cang's roar, Qu Gong, Du Yuan, and Huang Shao, who had just rushed over, looked at each other and saw the look in each other's eyes.
The battalion rushed into Zhou Yu's stronghold from three directions!
Immediately, most of Wenpin's army was attacked from two sides, while Zhou Yu was surrounded on three levels inside and three levels outside. Our army and the enemy's army were surrounded to the center.
However, at this time, except for Zhou Yu in the center of the formation, the military strength of both sides could be stabilized. Everyone else was fighting chaotically. It can be said that both sides had me in you and you in me. Wenpin held Zhou Cang in check while commanding the front half.
The soldiers attacked Zhou Cang and the school swordsmen, while ordering the second half of the soldiers to resist the new soldiers from Guan Yu's army.
Pei Yuanshao, who was originally supporting the left and right flanks and was beaten by Zhou Yu's soldiers, was a little out of breath. After receiving Huang Shao's reinforcements, he finally stabilized his position by relying on his strength. How can we say that these Yellow Turban canals have survived hundreds of battles?
Handsome, they are all good at commanding 1,800 people.
While Zhou Yu was changing the situation, he began to connect with the spiritual beliefs of Wenpin's soldiers so that he could extend his legionary talents. Morale had many magical uses. In such a chaotic situation, morale could ensure that his soldiers could continue to fight.
It's not that Wenpin doesn't have legion talents, it's just that Wenpin's legion talents are suitable for long-lasting defensive battles. This kind of chaotic battle is actually more about the quality of the soldiers and the endurance limit.
Soon Zhou Yu included the soldiers under Wenpin's command into the scope of his army's talents. Zhou Yu's army, which was originally in a slight decline, began to fight steadily again, and gradually stabilized the defense line with both offense and defense. The pressure on Zhou Yu in the center was once again relieved.
.
[Strange, what on earth does Guo Jia want to do?] Zhou Yu thought with a puzzled look on his face, completely lacking the consciousness of being in a dangerous situation.
At this time, he had successfully crossed the river. Guo Jia, who was rushing over in a hurry, had a slight smile on his face. As Huang Shao, Qu Gong and others successfully arrived at the battlefield, Guo Jia knew that the fish had taken the bait, and sometimes calmly responded to the various situations in front of him.
It's not the right thing to do.
[I'm afraid Zhou Yu is still curious about what I am doing.] Guo Jia chuckled and thought, if Sun Ce flies away, then Zhou Yu will have a lot to deal with. Zhou Yu has absolute confidence in his own intelligence, but this confidence has
Sometimes this may lead to some problems with Zhou Yu's response.
[We have successfully stabilized the situation in the center of the formation. It seems very safe, but this is in the center of the formation. Zhou Yu, do you think you are surrounded by a large number of soldiers and horses around you? I can't even take you with your army.
Let’s gather around the center of the formation, I want to see how you fight out.] Silently looking in the distance towards Zhou Yu’s camp.
Without a bird's-eye view, Zhou Yu, who was now in his own formation, would never have thought that his situation was already very dangerous. After all, any normal general would not think that he was still in danger after his own soldiers stabilized the position.
This is Guo Jia’s judgment on a wise man’s concept of security. For a wise man to rely on his own ability to create a stable situation, he will naturally have his own control, and under this kind of control, any wise man will believe in his own judgment.
.
If there was a bird's-eye view at this moment, Zhou Yu would have found that he and his soldiers were rolled up layer by layer in the middle like a thousand-layer scroll, and Zhou Yu and his soldiers were in the middle of the thousand-layer scroll.
central.
That is to say, although Zhou Yu successfully stabilized the situation, he was unknowingly wrapped up in layers. This made Zhou Yu seem to be safe, but in fact his entangled army formation was in chaos.
He might be buried here.
What's more important is that Zhou Yu is still in a calm and stable situation in the center of the formation, with no awareness of being surrounded. Moreover, a group of soldiers are still fighting vigorously under Zhou Yu's mobilization. This is probably a blessing in misfortune.
However, the more the situation is stabilized, the tighter the surrounding Guan Yu army will be. Qu Gong and the others are on the first floor, Wenpin is on the second floor, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and the swordsman are on the third floor, while the core is
This is Zhou Yu's main formation.
This kind of surrounded structure, coupled with the fact that Liu Beijun was not a wave of troops every time, gave Zhou Yu the feeling that Guo Jia was playing an attack, but because he was not playing well, it became a tactic to add fuel to the fire, and he did not think about changing every time.
Liu Bei's army, which was attacking in this direction, had already surrounded him.
In the water village downstream of the Huaihe River, Lu Dai vaguely saw the fire upstream, and was startled. Then the sound of fighting coming from far away made Lu Dai feel even worse. When the fire appeared in the direction of Sun Ce's main village,
, Lu Dai finally determined that something had happened.
"Ding Gong, you lead some of the troops and horses to go by land, and I will lead some of the troops and horses to go by water. We will march both by water and land to avoid problems." Before Lu Dai could go to Lu Fan, Lu Fan had already ordered people to get up and notify Lu Dai.
When Lu Dai heard Lu Fan's arrangement, he didn't say much. He immediately ordered three thousand soldiers and horses to set off from the water stronghold and rush towards Sun Ce's military camp. After Lu Dai left, Lu Fan immediately dismantled the water stronghold and led all the ships towards Sun Ce.
Movement upstream.
At this time, Guan Cheng was leading a group of soldiers and horses down the river. Not long after, the two met unexpectedly. Guan Cheng was one of the few Yellow Turbans who knew how to fight with water. Unfortunately, compared to Lu Fan, who had been practicing for many years, Guan Cheng
It's still a bit far from being a good player.
In addition, his own strength, military strength, and number of ships were not as good as Lu Fan's, and he was forced to retreat soon. Water warfare has always been an unavoidable knot for most of the princes in the north.
After repelling Guan Cheng, Lu Fan's expression was obviously gloomy. Guan Cheng's previous behavior was obviously stalling for time, which meant that the original situation of advancing by land and water had been completely blocked. Thinking more deeply, it also meant that Lu Dai
May have been ambushed.
Unlike land battles, in water battles, boats can run fast, so there is no danger. However, if Lu Dai was ambushed on land, it would be very difficult to escape.
"Keep going!" Lu Fan quickly made a decision. Lu Dai's matter can be put aside for now. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the most important. Guan Yu can do this, which means there will definitely be a result tonight.
Lu Fan couldn't help but think more about this.
Just as Lu Fan expected, Lu Dai encountered the ambush of Jiang Gong and Sima Ju not long after Lu Fan was blocked by Guan Cheng. After a good fight between the two sides, Chen Chi's army suddenly appeared. The quality of Guan Yu's soldiers was at a loss.
When Lu Dai was overtaken, he was also outnumbered, and soon Lu Dai's army showed a clear decline.
"Military advisor, our army was blocked in the water fortress downstream. Lu Fan has already gone up the Huaihe River." Guan Cheng quickly docked in the boat and reported to Guo Jiahui, who had been waiting.
"There is nothing we can do about this." Guo Jia didn't care at all. It doesn't matter if he made a mistake. The rest of his troops are here and it will be a showdown tonight. "Take your men and move with the army.
"
When Lu Fan came up along the Huaihe River, his expression became much more solemn. He had already seen Guan Yu's army arrayed on the bank of the Huaihe River, with thousands of crossbows and bows waiting for him to reach the shore. It was clear that Guan Yu had been preparing for this day for a long time.
"Hey!" Lu Fan looked at this scene coldly. He had already made a guess in his heart. He knew that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce might not have any problems now, but if the posture continued, Guo Jia's back-up move might lead to the death of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce today.
Kneel down.
"Get closer!" Lu Fan said with a sneer. When the sailor heard this, he slowly started rowing towards the south bank of the Huaihe River. As a result, when the distance was close to fifty steps, Guan Yu's arrow rain covered him crazily.
, so that Lu Fan had no way to stop.
Guo Jia glanced at Lu Fan who was struggling from a distance. It was a pity that he didn't have time to transport the crossbow and trebuchet, but it didn't matter. Zhou Yu's navy didn't want to dock today. He waited until he killed Zhou Yu himself. Sun Ce's
If the guy doesn't have Zhou Yu's IQ, that's it.
Seeing that Lu Fan was struggling and couldn't come up with any other tricks, Guo Jia stopped paying too much attention and prepared to disrupt the position and let Zhou Yu take the opportunity to attack. After the chaos, the army would press forward to determine the outcome.
Zhou Yu in the formation had completely stabilized the situation at this time, relying on mobilization to defeat the so-called experienced Yellow Turban Army, but now Zhou Yu not only did not feel at ease, but he became more and more irritable for some reason.
[What exactly has been missed? Even if Guo Jia’s target is not me, but my navy, with Lu Fan and Lu Dai here, and with what I have already told him, it is definitely impossible to win, and I don’t have any right now.
Any questions...] Zhou Yu thought irritably.
At this time, Zhou Yu accidentally blocked a basket-shaped object in the moonlit night, and then many small ball-like objects rolled out from it.
"What is this?" Zhou Yu looked at the things rolling out of the round basket and muttered to himself in confusion, "It seems to be peaches, a basket of peaches thrown by stones?"
Zhou Yu was slightly startled. Looking at the suddenly chaotic Guan Yu army around him, the chill penetrated into his bones. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, stabilize your position. Don't scatter and chase. Attack General Wen from the front!"
"Now let's see if Gong Jin can understand what I mean." Lu Fan wiped the peaches on his hands, and then took a bite. The previous basket of peaches was thrown out by him with a ship-mounted trebuchet. Fortunately, it was five or six now.
month, otherwise there would be no such obvious warning.
Compared with Guo Jia, Zhou Yu's biggest advantage is not strategy, but military strategy. Zhou Yu is familiar with military formations and knows military strategy, and his ability is even more than that of a commander. There are only a few people in the world who can surpass Zhou Yu. He is just like Li Ru at the time.
They are both all-powerful and have very high attainments.
But the difference is that Zhou Yu prefers to be omnipotent in military strategy, while Li Ru prefers to be omnipotent in political strategy. They are both top-notch snake oil, able to fight, carry, and break situations. With the reminder of a basket of peaches, he instantly understood that he was the most central peach.
, he must escape from this basket!
Naturally, by extension, Zhou Yu can understand his situation. He is already surrounded. Once his troops disperse, they will definitely be directly dispersed by the army prepared by Guo Jia, and then capture him. Compared with the troops on Guan Yu's side, Huainan
They have no advantage.
After Zhou Yu took precautions, he immediately began to adjust the formation. The circular formation that was about to disperse turned into a long spindle shape under Zhou Yu's quick adjustment. Zhou Yu's soldiers immediately charged out from the front.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's brain was extremely calm. He knew that there must be Guo Jia's ambushes outside, but fortunately, he had doubts before and did not dare to take action when Guan Yu's army was in chaos. Otherwise, if the troops are scattered now, he will die today.
In Guo Jia's hands.
After all, Zhou Yu was an excellent commander. After understanding the situation, he suddenly exerted force and quickly opened a hole in the formation, and then joined Wen Pinbing without even thinking about it.
Guo Jia was stunned at this moment. According to his guess, it was impossible for Zhou Yu's character to guess the situation. But now Zhou Yu actually started to break out of the encirclement just when he was about to take action.
"All the troops go out and capture Zhou Yu for me. Those who kill Zhou Yu will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins. Those who capture Zhou Yu alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and will be ranked among the generals!" Guo Jia immediately offered the reward. Although Guo Jia had never thought about killing Zhou Yu before, he still came all the way.
Having reached this point so smoothly and with the hope of killing him, how could Guo Jia not have other ideas?
In the chaotic battlefield, Zhou Yu's dispatch was not disordered at all. Putting aside the military strategy, Zhou Yu's commanding ability was no joke. He was at least ten blocks ahead of Guo Jia. As for the middle-level generals, they were good at dispatching thousands of people, but
Without Guan Yu's unified control, after Zhou Yu's several tail-cuttings interspersed, they were soon left to fight on their own.
"Guo Fengxiao, if you want to destroy me next time, remember that I can command the army, you are just a military advisor, hahaha!" Zhou Yu soon discovered this problem, and after joining forces with Wenpin, he fought and retreated and rushed out quickly.
, looked at Guo Jia on the high slope and laughed.
[Fortunately, fortunately, Bo Fu commanded the troops in the past, and I just pretended to be a military advisor. If I had not commanded the troops well this time, I would really be dead.] Zhou Yu felt extremely emotional in his heart.
After Zhou Yu dragged his army out, he looked at Guan Yu's army biting him and rushed directly towards the Huaihe River in front. He knew very well that there were at most two ambushes at this distance. However, Guan Yu's army could not coordinate the coordination.
Damn it, Guo Jia is just a military advisor and cannot command the troops.
