"Lao Liu Yu is finally here. He ordered the whole army to prepare. I want to fight to decide the outcome."
"promise."
Liu Yu's troops marched very fast and arrived at Zhanping in three days.
"My lord, there are mountains and valleys in Zhanping. If Gongsun Zan wants to ambush us, this is the perfect place."
Wei You was appointed as military advisor by Liu Yu and was responsible for the battle to annihilate Gongsun Zan.
"What should we do?"
Hearing Wei You say that Gongsun Zan might ambush him here, Liu Yu panicked instantly. Although he was not a coward, there was no one who was not afraid of death.
"My lord, it doesn't matter. You can send five thousand cavalry to go ahead and guard on the spot after passing through the valley. Then another five thousand cavalry will go behind. Then ten thousand or ten thousand auxiliary troops will pass through. My lord's central army can carry the last one through the valley."
Wei You's strategy was also from the mainland. He crossed the valley in batches and then guarded on the spot. There was nothing novel about it, and there was nothing wrong with it either.
"Just follow what Xunliang said."
Liu Yu nodded.
"promise."
Five thousand cavalry threw away the large army and rushed into the valley with lightning speed. After a while, they sent someone back.
"Let me tell you, my lord, that everything is safe ahead. We have been on alert on the spot."
The scout reported to Liu Yu the situation at the east end of the valley.
"Okay, the second group of cavalry will cross the valley, and at the same time, scouts will be sent out for five miles to detect any signs of the enemy."
Wei You nodded and announced that the second batch of cavalry was passing through the valley.
Rumble
Thousands of horses galloped, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, causing the valley to tremble.
The two groups of cavalry met. Liu Yu's cavalry had joined together, reaching 10,000. At the same time, many scouts were sent five miles forward to explore the enemy's situation.
After waiting for a while, a fast horse clattered through the valley and came to Liu Yu.
"No enemies have been found five miles ahead. Now the scouts have moved ten miles forward to continue their exploration."
"My lord, it seems that I have worried too much. We can speed up across the valley and rush to Yuyang."
Wei You nodded. He was originally afraid that Gongsun Zan would ambush outside the valley, but now it seems that he is really overthinking.
"Well, order the entire army to speed up across the valley."
Except for the cavalry, the remaining 70,000 infantrymen passed through the valley for nearly two hours, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon.
"Xunliang, the sergeant has been on the road for a long time. Isn't it time to put the stove in for cooking?"
After the whole army crossed the valley and gathered together, Liu Yu's anxious heart was relieved. As soon as he relaxed, he felt a sense of hunger spread throughout his body.
"Well, since Gongsun Zan didn't ambush in the valley, it's okay to bury the pots and make rice now, but the scouts can't be stopped."
Wei You nodded. As the emperor did not dismantle the hungry soldiers, he would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.
"Instruct the whole army to bury pots and make rice, and the scouts will go out for twenty miles to explore the enemy's situation."
"promise."
"Ah Yue, it's noon and it's time to eat."
"Well, it's noon, but the brothers just finished eating and really can't eat anymore."
Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Gongsun Yue's face was full of melancholy. They had just eaten and they really couldn't eat anymore.
"Haha, you have eaten, but what is Liu Yu doing now?"
Gongsun Zan looked at the sun above his head with a smile on his lips.
"Liu Yu? Liu Yu must be eating now, what else can he do? Ah."
Gongsun Yue made a sudden sound as he spoke.
"Brother, are you going to sneak attack Liu Yu now?"
Looking at Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zan nodded.
"Well, order the entire army to assemble, and the scouts will conduct a breaking attack first. I want none of Liu Yu's scouts to escape. Notify Gongsun Fan and stop me. Don't let anyone go."
"promise."
With an order, all the scouts under Gongsun Zan were dispatched, like a pack of hungry wolves, and began to hunt down Liu Yu's scouts in groups. At the same time, the 20,000 cavalry under his command also began to quickly assemble, ready to attack Liu Yu at any time.
Time passed by, and Liu Yu's soldiers and horses gathered around the pot one by one and began to eat. Twenty thousand people guarded the outside to guard against possible enemies.
Under the siege and annihilation of Gongsun Zan's wolf-like scouts, Liu Yu's scouts gradually melted away like the late snow in spring. In the end, all the two hundred scouts sent by Liu Yu were killed without fail.
"The entire army attacks and defeats the enemy in one fell swoop."
Now that all enemy scouts had been eliminated, Gongsun Zan had nothing to hesitate and took the lead and launched a direct charge towards Liu Yu's location.
"My lord, this is the pheasant that the scout shot specially for you. You can try the chicken soup."
Wei You approached Liu Yu with a bowl of meat soup.
"good,"
Liu Yu picked up the chicken soup and was about to drink it, but the chicken soup in his hand started to ripple.
"Um?"
"The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, my lord, Gongsun Zan is coming, Gongsun Zan is coming, and the enemy's cavalry is at least 20,000."
Looking at the ripples appearing in the bowl, Wei You secretly screamed, this was clearly caused by a large number of cavalry stepping on the ground at the same time, and until now they had not heard the sound, which proved that they were still far away.
The fact that the enemy's cavalry was able to reach here at such a long distance proved that the enemy's cavalry numbered at least 20,000, and the only person with such strength in Youzhou was the enemy they were about to ambush, Gongsun Zan.
"What should we do, Xunliang, what should we do?"
Hearing Wei You's words, Liu Yu was shocked, Gongsun Zan, how could Gongsun Zan be here? Wasn't there an ambush?
Liu Yu and Wei You came out of the tent together and found that their troops were in disarray. In addition to the 10,000 cavalrymen who were all mounted and ready, even his elite infantry were also in a panic and had no choice but to choose their route.
"My lord, now we have to order the cavalry to dispatch and snipe the invading enemy. At the same time, we have to order the elite soldiers to organize a defense line, and then use all our strength to organize the remaining troops. Only in this way can we ensure victory in this battle."
Although Gongsun Zan attacked, Wei You remained calm in the face of danger and calmly issued military orders.
"Feixiang's army is dispatched to assemble Shen Xing's army. Liu Fu will gather the auxiliary troops with my order."
"promise."
Liu Yu's main cavalry is called Feixiang Army, and his main infantry is called Chen Xingjun. These two troops are his absolute support.
The 10,000 cavalrymen of the Feixiang Army, led by the marching general Xian Yuyin, shook off their horses and charged forward.
"Lord, the enemy's cavalry is coming,"
Although he was among 20,000 cavalry, Yan Gang clearly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the opposite side.
"Where is the white horse's righteousness?"
"exist."
"You dare to follow me to open the way and defeat the enemy's cavalry."
Yan Gang could hear it, and Gongsun Zan could also hear it after having fought on horseback for more than ten years. Now is not the time to cherish feathers. He can only use the fastest speed to break through the enemy's cavalry and crush them before Liu Yu forms a formation. He
Only then can we win this war.
So he had no reservations from the beginning and directly moved out his strongest personal guard, Baima Yicong.
"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord."
"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord."
"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord."
