Chapter 310 The Battle of Zitong Water ([-])

Chapter 3: The Battle of Zitong Water ([-])

"General, the Qin army has retreated!" At the same time that the Qin army pulled out of the camp, Guan Yu immediately told Chang Yuchun the news.

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun laughed and said: "Hehe, this Wang Feng is still a little self-aware. He knows how to advance and retreat. General Li, what do you think?"

Li Jing replied: "Although Chang'an has sent more troops to the south, in terms of speed, it is definitely not as fast as our army. If Wang Feng does not leave, he will not be able to leave when the main force of our army arrives."

Chang Yuchun nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, since Wang Feng wants to leave, let him go, send someone to urge him, order Deng Qiang and Zhang Liao to come to Fucheng as quickly as possible, and wait for Qin The arrival of the main army."

On March 20th, 12th year of Qianyuan, the follow-up troops of Deng Jun arrived in Fucheng one after another. With the addition of 5000 Shu troops, the total strength reached [-].

On March 2, 14 Qin army reinforcements led by Qin army generals Bai Chen and Sima Gong arrived at Zitong. Together with Meng Chengting's [-] troops, the total strength reached [-].

In the camp of Fucheng, after learning that the reinforcements of the Qin army had arrived, Chang Yuchun summoned all the generals to discuss the matter. The Deng army who entered Shu this time was a gathering of heroes. Chang Yuchun was the main general, Deng Qiang and Zhang Liao were the deputy generals, and the generals Li Jing, Guan Yu, Wang Shao, Shan Xiongxin, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Qiong, Huang Mu, Song Guang, military adviser Zhu Sheng, Fazheng, except for Hu Yanzhuo staying behind in Yufu City, all of them are here.

"Everyone, reinforcements from the Qin army have arrived. Since this is the case, I will follow the plan we made before and lead the north to seek a decisive battle." Chang Yuchun said.

The decisive battle between going north and the Qin army was discussed by Deng Jun after several days. Although the strength of the Qin army is higher than that of the Deng army, Chang Yuchun is confident that he can defeat the Qin army. When it comes to the lineup of generals, Deng Jun is much more luxurious than Qin Jun.

On March 22, Chang Yuchun led an army of 5000 to leave Fucheng and march north to Zitong. Deng's army originally had 10 men, but in order to make up 12 men, he forcibly selected [-] elite soldiers from the [-] Shu army. Huang did not dare to have any opinion on this. After receiving the news that Deng Jun was going north, Wang Feng led [-] soldiers and horses to camp in Zitongshui.

By the Zitong water, Chang Yuchun and Wang Feng very humorously stationed the camp by the Zitong water. At the same time, both armies had a tacit understanding to put the Shu army behind to watch the house. It's in the eye, and it's easy to break down with them.

Zitong River is a tributary of the Yangtze River in Bashu, but it does not have the width and depth of the Yangtze River. As long as it is not in the rainy season, it can pass without a boat, and it will not affect the battle. Moreover, Chang Yuchun chose Zitong River as the place where the two armies fought. There is also a deep consideration. Deng Jun is all southerners, and most of them are familiar with water. Although warships are not required to fight in the Zitong water, as long as it is in the water, the southerners are more advantageous.

On March 20th, the 25th year of Qianyuan, the two armies of Deng and Qin formed a formation by the Zitong water, but today is not a decisive battle, but just a test between the two armies.

Chang Yuchun looked at Qin Jun on the opposite side, and ordered: "Song Guang, Huang Mu listen!"

"The last general is here!" Song Guang and Huang Mu came out and said.

"Order you to lead the troops of the headquarters to move forward slowly!"

"Here!" After receiving the order, Song Guang and Huang Mu led their troops into the Zitong River and walked to the north bank, but Wang Feng was not to be outdone when he saw this, and ordered: "Ma Cheng and Sima Gong listen to the order. "

"The last general is here!" Ma Sheng and Sima Gong responded.

"Order the two of you to lead 2 troops to face Deng Jun!"

"Here!"

Ma Sheng and Sima Gong led 2 horses and walked slowly towards Zitong Water. The two armies met in the middle of the water and started fighting without saying a word. Mu fought against his superior, Ma Gong, with great enjoyment, while the two armies' generals, Chang Yuchun and Wang Feng, were carefully observing the difference in strength between the two armies.

The two armies fought for nearly an hour, and Deng Jun slowly began to gain the upper hand, not because the generals of Deng Jun were stronger than Qin Jun, but because the two generals of Qin Jun had already been suppressed by Song Guang and Huang Mu. Well, Ma Sheng is fine, after all, Song Guang is old now, after the peak period, the two played back and forth, but Sima Gong is miserable, Huang Mu is only less than 40 years old this year, and he is at the peak period , the strength is a few blocks behind Sima Gong, so after a few rounds of fighting, Huang Mu beat him down, and several times he was in danger.

Seeing this, Wang Feng frowned, and ordered: "Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Now that Deng Jun's strength has been basically understood, it is meaningless to continue fighting. Besides, Sima Gong is now beaten into a dog. Withdrawing troops, Sima Gong may have to explain here.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the sound of Qin Jun's golden sound, Qin Jun began to leave the battlefield in an orderly manner, and Song Guang and Huang Mu wanted to pursue, but they were called back by Chang Yuchun. The battle has already got off to a good start, and Chang Yuchun accepted it when he saw it was good. After all, today is not the time for a decisive battle, so there is no need to chase after him. Besides, Song Guang and Huang Mu may not be enough to rush forward. Qin Jun is stuck between his teeth.

After the two armies stopped fighting, Chang Yuchun called all the generals immediately and asked them to talk about their feelings today.

"Li Jing, what do you think is the strength of the Qin army in today's match?" Chang Yuchun did not immediately ask the two generals Deng Qiang and Zhang Liao, but Li Jing. From this, it can be seen that Chang Yuchun Pay more attention to Li Jing.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Chang Yuchun would be the first to ask him, he was a little at a loss, but Li Jing's psychological quality is very good, he quickly adjusted, paused, and replied: "Back to the general, Judging from the situation of the fight against the Qin army today, the Qin army is not weaker than our army, but there is one very fatal aspect of the Qin army, that is, the strength of the generals of the Qin army is far inferior to our army. According to the report of the spies, this time There are only five Qin army generals going south, although I don’t know if there are any ruthless characters among these five people, but our army is full of stars, and even a wheel battle can consume the Qin army to death.”

After Chang Yuchun listened, he nodded in satisfaction. Li Jing's analysis of the Qin army was very good. The Qin army is not weak, but the quality of the generals is not high. I know that Ma Sheng is at the peak, and Song Guang was already 20 years old when he surrendered to Deng Guo. Now that [-] years have passed, Song Guang is also a man over fifty years old, and he can still be with the peak Ma Sheng fought inextricably, which is enough to show the strength of Qin Jun.

And it is known that Ma Sheng is one of the few fierce generals in the Qin army, and in the Deng army, to be precise, there are several who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Song Guang in the Deng army who entered Shu. What can the Qin army use to fight against himself.

"General Deng Qiang, General Zhang Liao, what do you think of General Li Jing's analysis?" Chang Yuchun asked Deng Qiang and Zhang Liao again.

"Back to the general, General Li Jing's analysis is very accurate, and the general believes that this point can also be seen by Wang Feng, the chief general of the Qin army, so the general believes that Wang Feng will definitely reduce the confrontation with our army as much as possible in the future." Deng Qiang replied, and Zhang Liao on the side also nodded repeatedly.

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun also agreed with Deng Qiang's point of view. Wang Feng is not a fool. Although Qin's army is more powerful than Deng's, the gap is not that big. The general beheaded the generals of the Qin army directly, no matter how many people there were in the Qin army, it would be useless, so Wang Feng would not dare to fight casually next time.

"General, although the Qin army does not dare to confront our army head-on, the Qin army has come from afar, and all the food, grass and supplies needed have to be transported from Hanzhong. I believe it is very tight in terms of logistics, so the Qin army will definitely take action. Yes, we must guard against it." At this time, Zhu Sheng, the military commander of the Jinwu Guard, said, why Chang Yuchun dared to bring 10 people and Qin Jun's 12 to fight head-on, because he bullied the Qin Army's logistics. You will be impatient, and the most taboo in this kind of battle with tens of thousands of people is to be impetuous. Whoever can't stand it first will lose.

Chang Yuchun thought for a while, and said: "After today's battle, the Qin army should not make any big moves for the time being. Now we have to compete with the Qin army for more patience. Come and see!" After that, Chang Yuchun came to a simple map in the big tent, pointed to a small hill in the upper reaches of the Zitong River, and said, "This is the highest point on the south bank of the Zitong River. The situation on the north bank would have required a general to lead a team of troops to garrison, so as to control every move of the Qin army."

"General, the final general is willing to go!" Shence Guard General Wang Shao took the initiative to come out. Wang Shao knew that he was not very capable, and he was not young. He was younger than Song Guang in the Deng army entering Shu. He is nearly fifty years old, so this task is most suitable for him.

Chang Yuchun nodded, and said: "Okay, then please ask General Wang to lead his troops to garrison here. After you arrive, set up watchtowers and beacon towers to monitor the movements of the Qin army at twelve hours a day. Every hour needs to be rewarded once, remember?"

"Here!" Wang Shao responded.
