After Chen Dao received Liu Bei's order, he immediately sent people to find Guan Yu and asked him to send troops with him to turn around and deal with the Jinling Army's reinforcements.
Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Wenpin and others were enough to deal with Zhao Yun, Li Tong and others, plus the Liannu Army to help, so he thought there would be nothing to do here, so he immediately joined Chen Dao, led a part of Jingzhou troops, and headed towards the rear.
go.
On the way, Chen Dao said to Guan Yu: "I heard that there are many powerful generals in the Jinling army. Although my lord designed this time, let Tao Shang send all the powerful generals to the front line, but there is no way that one or two people will be left to come to support. We still need to
Just be cautious and cautious.”
Guan Yu laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhi, you are too careful. In Guan's opinion, all the generals under Tao Shang are just like grass and grass. The only ones to worry about are Zhao Yun and Xu Huang.
, No matter how many fierce generals the pottery merchant sends, they can't stop Guan, the Qinglong Yanyue!"
Chen Daoshang also knew that Guan Yu was arrogant, so he immediately held up his hands and said: "General Guan is so powerful that he is unparalleled in the world!"
"Have the scouts made it clear who the potter sent to support him?"
Chen Dao shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly who it is. The scouts reported that the other party's flag only has the words Zhang and Gao."
"Zhang, Gao?" Guan Yu said with a frown while riding his horse: "Among the famous generals under Tao Shang, there seems to be no one with these two surnames?"
Chen Dao nodded and said: "That's right. I heard from my lord just now that after the pottery merchants pacified Hebei, the famous generals of Hebei, Zhang He and Gao Lan, surrendered to the pottery merchants. Could it be them?"
"Zhang He? Gao Lan?" Guan Yu smiled contemptuously and said, "Scabies are nothing to care about."
"General Guan should not underestimate the enemy. These two men were also on par with Yan Liang and Wen Chou back then! They are definitely not ordinary people."
Guan Yu said lightly: "Even so, it is nothing to worry about. Even though these two people have some bravery, they have never heard of any great achievements. I heard that Zhang He has an army of Euphorbia soldiers under his command. Although they are well-equipped
, but there are many flaws and there is nothing to fear... Is it possible that the white soldiers you personally trained are no match for his Euphorbia soldiers?"
The Baijie soldiers are elite troops trained by Chen Dao and Liu Bei. They are extremely powerful and can be said to be the best in the south. They defeated Zhang Xian in Jingnan before.
He has also made great achievements repeatedly.
When Chen Dao heard that Guan Yu mentioned the Bai Jian soldiers, he couldn't help but raised his head proudly and said: "Where did General Guan say this? What kind of Euphorbia soldiers, I am not afraid of him!"
"That's it!" Guan Yu said with a faint smile: "With the Baijie soldiers here, even if the Tao Shang's Tiger Guards come, we are not afraid of them!"
…
The sound of Guan Yu and Chen Dao's troops marching faintly reached where the pottery merchant and others were.
At this time, the reinforcements led by Tao Shang himself were on standby according to Gao Shun's advice, just waiting for the opponent to rush over.
Gao Shun rode his horse to the potter's side, listened carefully to the footsteps of the enemy in the distance, and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on his lips.
"The enemy's cavalry doesn't seem to be very large. This battle doesn't seem to be very difficult. Prime Minister, please sit back and wait for me and Zhang Liao to defeat the enemy's reinforcements. Then we can march again."
Tao Shang looked at Gao Shun deeply, feeling an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.
The trapped camp under Gao Shun had defeated Guan Yu and Zhang Fei head-on in the history he knew. They were invincible and almost never lost against the enemy head-on.
Although Gao Shun is usually a bit rigid and sarcastic, it is precisely because of his personality that he is able to act calmly, without being emotional or arrogant or complacent.
It is a pity that throughout his life, Lu Bu was not reused. On the contrary, he was used more, so that his glory in history was only short-lived.
When Xu Rong first joined the pottery merchant, he once said that when it comes to military training, there is only one person in the world who is better than him, and that person is Gao Shun.
In Tao Shang's opinion, when it comes to the ability to lead troops, train troops, and command troops and horses to fight, Gao Shun should be the first.
"Are you confident that you can defeat the opponent's reinforcements?" Tao Shang asked Gao Shundao.
Gao Shun nodded and said: "There is no absolute victory or defeat in this world, but as far as the current situation is concerned, I am 90% sure."
Since Gao Shun's premise is that nothing is absolute, he said that he is 90% sure. As far as he is concerned, victory is basically certain.
The pottery merchant asked him in a low voice: "I would like to ask General Gao for some advice, but what is the secret to this?"
Gao Shun didn't feel comfortable seeing the potter being so humble.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before when he followed Lu Bu.
He sorted out his thoughts and said: "The enemy's horse hooves are noisy and frivolous... I think they are all southern horses, and there are not many in number. The enemy's army is mainly infantry, and the reinforcements of this infantry are usually long spears."
Soldiers or halberdiers, in order not to affect the speed, there are fewer crossbowmen and shield soldiers, and the usual tactical coordination between our Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the trapped camp is to restrain the rest of the infantry and cavalry except for the crossbowmen.
, so we have an advantage externally.”
The potter nodded suddenly: "Then what?"
"We are forming an array here. As for the opponent, who is several miles away from us, the speed of their advance is increasing instead of decreasing, which means that they are preparing to charge directly later and will not form an array. From this, it seems that the opponent's general does not know much about us.
, and they don’t think much of us. As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated. We are cautious in dealing with the enemy, but they are careless and frivolous. The chances of winning are a little higher if you think about it."
The pottery merchant looked at the calm Gao Shun with admiration and asked, "Is there a third one?"
"There is no third place. Just these two points, one outside and one inside, are enough to establish the victory."
Tao Shang secretly thought that after this war, no matter how much his subordinates objected, he would definitely promote Gao Shun and make him his true confidant.
After a while, the sound of the enemy's horse hooves and infantry footsteps began to gradually become clearer and audible, becoming more and more dense and deafening.
Gradually, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly.
The pottery merchant was considered a battle-hardened warrior, and he relied on his own experience to conclude that the opponent was also a veteran of the battlefield.
But Gao Shun's plain face always remained calm, as if he wasn't bothered at all.
As for the Bingzhou Wolf Riders commanded by Zhang Liao, their horses began to shake their heads and tails restlessly, their four hooves kept swaying in a staggered manner, and they even sneezed non-stop.
Some horses even rushed half their body out of the queue.
Zhang Liao came on horseback and said to Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, I'm going to fight first! Is that okay?"
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "You two are discussing, I am only responsible for watching the fun."
Gao Shun nodded towards Zhang Liao and said, "Old rules."
Zhang Liao nodded, and then finally raised his right hand amidst the expectations of the cavalry.
In the army, the horn horn soldiers in the first row immediately puffed up their big cheeks and blew the horns that had been placed at their lips for a long time.
The long sound of the charging horn resounded throughout the area for miles around.
After the horn sounded, the Bingzhou Wolf Riders galloped forward like a pack of real wolves.
