Chapter 350: Long drive straight
It is said that soon after Guan Yu's army started, Cheng Pu, a veteran guarding the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, received an urgent order from Zhou Yu. Cheng Pu immediately called the crowd to assign tasks. When the public heard that Guan Yu led an army of 150,000 to kill, everyone couldn't help changing their colors.
An army general asked anxiously: "How can the 150,000 army come to us? This is unreasonable!" The generals also felt incredible.
Cheng Pu said; "The governor of the city recently broke the Jingzhou navy and cut off the connection between Xiangfan, Chen Lang's situation is already very bad. Therefore, in order to break the current predicament, he wanted to send a marvelous soldier and use Guan Yu to lead the main force of Fan City to bypass. The main force of our army raided Jiangxia from our side!"
The generals were all startled, and one general worried and said: "Jiangxia is our capital, where money and food gather. If it is captured by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Another general said excitedly: "We The enemy must not be allowed to succeed!" The other generals also yelled one after another, all in a desperate posture with the Ying Yang army.
Cheng Pu motioned everyone to calm down, and said, "Don't worry. The governor of the city has anticipated this a long time ago and has already been set up." Then he laughed mockingly: "Chen Lang, he wants to win with a strange force, but he doesn't dream. I would think that I have actually fallen into the trap of the general governor! This is really a mountain and a high mountain!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. A general asked urgently: "General, general governor. Is there a way to deal with it?"
Cheng Pu walked to the map, and the generals gathered around.
Cheng Pu pointed to Fancheng, and said: "The chief governor has a brilliant plan. He has long guessed that the main force of the enemy Fancheng will concentrate on raiding Jiangxia after the chief governor successfully cuts off the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang. Therefore, the chief governor has long thought out a strategy. The main navy under the governor’s command has quietly moved south, and the master’s 50,000 elites and the 30,000 elites stationed in the southern county have also been quietly transferred to Jiangxia. They will converge with Jiangxia’s 50,000 defenders and place a huge pocket near Jiangxia, just waiting The army of Guan Yu got in!" The generals couldn't help expressing their excitement, and one of the generals couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "The superintendent of the governor has a wonderful plan, this time the enemy will be killed by us and the whole army will be wiped out! "The generals nodded in agreement.
Cheng Pu smiled and said: "The governor of the city has a great plan, this time the enemy will definitely fall a big somersault! Our army can then occupy all of Jingzhou!" Then he looked straight and said: "But our army must not be taken lightly! Our opponent is not. Liu Biao, not Yuan Shu, but Chen Lang, known as the Tiger Wolf! Now that the enemy has not fallen into the trap, it is possible to find the trap and escape at any time. Even if we fall into the trap, it is still hard to say whether we can encircle them or not. !"
He glanced at the generals and said: "The enemy is very cunning, so our resistance is very important! We must not let them see the clues! Although our army and the enemy are very different in strength, our army cannot withdraw immediately. You must fight to the death of the enemy! The resistance is retreating steadily! Only in this way, the enemy will not suspect that this is a trap! For the victory of this battle, we will pay the greatest sacrifice. Do you have the courage to take this responsibility?"
"Yes!!" The generals roared in unison. A general shouted: "It is said that Yingyang Army is the master of tigers and wolves, and the world is sharp, but I don't believe it. This time I must let them know how powerful our Jiangdong Army is!" Others also yelled, their morale like rainbows. Cheng Pu nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. Immediately Cheng Pu laid out defense matters.
A day later, the vanguard of Guan Yu's army, led by General Wenpin, first engaged the Jiangdong Army. The Jiangdong Army relied on the mountains to form a battalion, and Wenpin led the army to continuously pounce! The offensive was like a violent wind and water, constantly rushing towards the enemy’s village. The two sides fought bloodily in the woods on the hills. The corpses flew across the land. The fierce battle lasted for a full day. The Jiangdong Army finally could not support it. Yingzhai. The Ying Yang army successfully broke through the enemy's first camp.
In view of the strong resistance of the enemy, Wenpin did not immediately wave the army straight forward, but stopped and rested. At the same time, he sent people to report the situation to Guan Yu, who was leading the army to the south, and asked him to stop.
Soon after, Guan Yu issued a strict order, urging Wenpin to work hard without any hesitation.
Wenpin received the strict order from Guan Yu and did not dare to follow the order again, and hurriedly led his troops to the south! Soon after, Wenpin led the army to storm the second line of defense of Jiangdong Army! The war was in full swing, Wenpin launched several rounds of onslaught, but failed to shake the opponent's line of defense! And at this moment, suddenly a Jiangdong army of thousands of people came from the flanks under the personal leadership of the veteran Cheng Pu, and broke into the Wenpin army. The Wenpin army was caught off guard, and the army's front began to waver! At the same time, the Jiangdong Army, who had been holding on to the second line of defense, came out and attacked fiercely! The Wenpin Army gradually became confused, and the various troops began to retreat involuntarily, and they couldn't hold on to it!
Seeing that the battle situation was very favorable, Cheng Pu constantly urged all the troops to attack, and must defeat the forward force of Wenpin!
Suddenly, the sound of the trumpet came from the north, resounding through the clouds! Cheng Pu was taken aback, and quickly looked north. Awesomely saw the Ying Yang army slaying all over the mountains under the leadership of a general! Cheng Pu's expression changed, and he immediately roared: "Quickly retreat into the camp!" The army hurriedly left the battle and retreated.
The warrior of the Yingyang army slammed into the Jiangdong army, and he saw horseshoe trampling and spear assassination. Where did the Jiangdong army traverse the war cavalry on foot, he saw a spate of falling down and flying flesh and blood!
Cheng Pu's army had just retreated into the camp, before closing the gate of the camp, the Yingyang Titan led the warrior into it like a whirlwind! I saw an eagle and a warrior like a tiger and a wolf rushing the Jiangdong army near the camp gate in one fell swoop. The leader of the Titans leaped forward with a spear and leaped towards Cheng Pu, sternly shouted: "Cheng Pu Lao Erliu Come on!"

When Cheng Pu came, the opponent was coming fiercely, and he couldn't help but surge in anger, and immediately brandished a broadsword to fight. With a loud bang, the two sides intersected! Cheng Pu yelled angrily: "Who will come here? Report your name?" The titular general said loudly: "Your grandfather is Yan Xing!" Cheng Pu snorted and said, "The nameless rat generation dare to be rampant!" Yan Xing was furious and roared, his arms slammed away the opponent's broadsword, and then he slammed his spear and attacked. Cheng Pu immediately confronted him not to be outdone.
I saw the knives and guns flashing in the cold, the blades of the eyebrows and the sharp flashes of the guns, thrilling and dangerous.
After more than twenty rounds, Yan Xing fought more and more bravely, with a spear in his hand like a violent poisonous dragon and constantly pounced on the opponent; but Cheng Pu gradually couldn't stand it, his face dripping with cold sweat.
Cheng Pu was shocked, and never expected that an unknown rat in the Ying Yang army would be so powerful! After fighting for more than ten rounds, I saw the opponent hit the palace with a single shot, as cruel as a poisonous python! Cheng Pu was caught off guard, only to hear a chuckle, a sharp pain in his shoulder, it turned out that the opponent's spear pierced his shoulder, and blood spewed out! Cheng Pu was shocked, struggling to get rid of the opponent, and quickly turned his horse's head to escape! Yan Xing allowed him to escape, and immediately urged the horse to chase him down, yelling, "Old fellow, take his life!"
At this time, Cheng Pu's soldiers shouted frantically and rushed forward! Yan Xing was immediately surrounded, unable to continue chasing Cheng Pu! Annoyed, Yan Xing started to kill, and a long spear killed all the soldiers!
Cheng Pu was defeated and fled, and the entire Jiangdong army could no longer resist it, and was rushed by the Yingyang army's foot cavalry to the ground, and the remnants were defeated and fled hurriedly. The Yingyang Army successfully broke through the second line of defense. This battle not only caused heavy losses to the Jiangdong defenders but also killed Cheng Pu, the chief general of the Jiangdong Army.
Yan Xing wanted to do his best, and before he waited for literary appointment, he led his 5,000 warriors to the south. The Jiangdong Army could not withstand the gusty front of the Yingyang Army, and it was impossible to withstand consecutive defeats.
That morning, Yan Xing led the war cavalry and chased Shi Yang. Friends who have read the previous article should still have an impression of Shi Yang. Yes, Shiyang is one of the riverside fortresses Liu Biao used to guard against Sun Jian. There are three main fortresses from east to west, namely Shiyang, Hanyang and Wulin. This Shiyang is the only fortress located on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, facing Jiangxia across the river. Once Shiyang is broken, you can cross the river to attack Jiangxia.
Yan Xing saw that Shi Yang was right in front of him, and immediately attacked with an army. The Jiangdong Army guarding Shiyang soon couldn't resist it, seeing that the Yingyang Army was about to break the city.
However, at this moment, Cheng Pu rushed out of the woods outside the city with his wounded and thousands of soldiers and horses, and hit the Eagle Yang army straight from behind. Although the Jiangdong Army was all infantry, they all attacked frantically, gave up their lives, and killed the Yingyang soldiers caught off guard with spears and swords! At the same time, Shi Yang's defenders came out and fought back frantically! Because of the long-distance attack, Yan Xing's tribe was already exhausted, how could it withstand the enemy's desperate offensive! Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse!
After all, Yan Xing was not a brave man. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately led the war cavalry to turn around and smashed away from the enemy's encirclement and rushed out.
When Yan Xing saw Guan Yu, he bowed with shame on his face; "If his subordinates failed to break through Shi Yang in one fell swoop, please convict the army!"
Guan Yu said: "You look down on Cheng Pu too much! As a Jiangdong general, how easy is Cheng Pu to be with you! For your previous military exploits, I will not blame you! Get up!" Yan Xing thanked , Stood up.
Guan Yu waved his hand and the army continued to advance south.
Soon after, the army was Shi Yang after all. At this time, the scout heard news that Cheng Pu had fled to Jiangnan with the remnants.
Wen Pin said: "Cheng Pu suffered heavy losses. Now that I heard that the general led the army, I dare not fight it anymore!" Then he worriedly said: "I'm just afraid that Jiang Xia will be prepared for this!"
Guan Yu smiled and said: "It's okay! Jiang Xia is prepared, and can't withstand the attack of my 150,000 army!" The generals couldn't help but show pride.
Guan Yu ordered: "Order the troops to approach the Yangtze River to Xiazhai! Wenpin, you immediately led the army to cut down trees to collect the rafts! I want to cross the Yangtze River within three days!" The generals clasped their fists and promised.
