The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 316
But it is said that Zhao Yun is the commander-in-chief, Gan Ning is the deputy general, and [-] troops will attack the South China Sea.

When the soldiers arrived halfway, they met Sun Huan's [-] troops to block them, and the two armies met in the wild.

Two battles ago, Sun Huan led Li Yi and Xie Jing immediately under the gate flag, and saw two generals pouring out of Wei's barracks.

One general in brocade clothes, brocade robes and silver helmets, black horse with bells, and a large golden saber in his hand is none other than Gan Ning, the former brocade bandit; The old general Zhu Heng.

Sun Huan stood up and cursed loudly: "What kind of face does a thief who betrays his master have to face?

Zhu Heng also replied: "As a general, you don't know the power of heaven and the general situation, but you resist the heavenly soldiers with your mantis arms, and you don't know when you are about to die!"

The two sprayed a few words at each other, and the more they sprayed, the higher they went.

Furious, Zhu Heng rode his horse forward and shot at Sun Huan with his gun.

Before Sun Huan could move, Xie Jing beside him drove his horse to meet him.

The two generals immediately fought at the same place, and after more than [-] rounds of fighting, Xie Jing was exhausted, feinted, reined in his horse and was defeated.

Zhu Ran took advantage of the victory to chase after him, but was caught by Li Yi patting his horse and dipping his golden ax in his hand.

Zhu Ran fought with him for more than [-] rounds.It's a dead end.

At that time, Tan Xiong, a general in the Wu army, saw that Zhu Ran was brave and Li Yi was invincible, so he quietly shot a cold arrow from the side, which hit Zhu Ran in the arm.

Li Yi rode his horse forward in a hurry, swung his big axe, and looked behind Zhu Ran's head to greet him.

Seeing that Zhu Ran was extremely dangerous, he suddenly saw a flash of knife light, and Li Yi's head flew up and fell to the ground.

Everyone saw that it was Gan Ning who rescued Zhu Ran.

Seeing Zhu Ran's defeated horse and returning to the battle, Gan Ning was waiting to meet him, when he saw Li Yi rushing to attack him, he shouted loudly, knocked Li Yi off his horse, and saved Zhu Ran.

Encouraged by the momentum of beheading the general, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the momentum to cover up and kill them.

Unable to resist, Sun Huan retreated with a small defeat.

The next day, Sun Huan led his troops to fight again.

Gan Ning rode his horse and stood proudly in front of the two armies.He threatened to single out all the generals of the Wu army, including Sun Huan.

That's right, he meant to fight a group.

Sun Huan said angrily, "How dare the Jinfan bandits bully no one in our army?"

In less than twenty rounds, Sun Huan felt that his arms were numb, his strength was exhausted, and he was defeated and retreated.

Gan Ning single-handedly pursued and entered the Wu army's barracks. He was as brave as a god descending from the earth, and no one could stop him. The Wu army was in chaos.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly mobilized the three armies to attack, but he sat firmly in the middle army and did not step forward.

After more than ten years of guarding the land of Wu, he has evolved into a qualified commander who does not easily get involved in danger.

Although he can still kill and kill, he can also take the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops.

But it is not necessary.

Gan Ning led the army and confronted the Wu army for a while, driving the troops to hide and kill.

At that time, the generals were brave and fierce, and they all took the lead.

Not long after, he broke into the Wu army's center, just as Xie Jing was retreating.

Gan Ning immediately shouted and chopped him off the horse with a single blow.

When Wu Jun saw this, he was frightened and ran around.

Gan Ning led his army to pursue and attack for a while, and cut the person who had sniped yesterday in half, and then he retreated in victory.

Sun Huan was defeated in successive battles, and more than half of his troops were lost. He had to retreat to the city and hold on to the wall.

Zhao Yun ordered the army to surround the city on three sides, and sent people to Yulin Cheng Yuanzhi to report victory.

Sun Huan defeated Li Yi, Xie Jing, Tan Xiong and many other soldiers. He felt very helpless and lonely. Seeing that Nanhai City was besieged and the situation was extremely dangerous, he hurriedly sent someone to ask Sun Quan for help.

Wei General Gan Ning said to Zhao Yunjin: "Commander, I see that the Wu army is defeated today. Although it has retreated into Nanhai City, it does not dare to stay for a long time. Moreover, our army is attacking from all directions, and Sun Quan is too busy to take care of himself. It is difficult to send reinforcements, so Sun Huan three They must retreat from the west gate within two days. I happened to ambush an army on the way, and when they arrive, they will severely damage their troops."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun pondered and said: "Although Sun Huan lost many soldiers, there are still Sun Lang's [-] sailors camping at sea, and they have not moved lightly. If we divide our troops to set up an ambush today, if the other sailors go ashore, they will be in front of and behind the soldiers in the city. How about attacking our army?"

Gan Ning said: "This matter is not difficult. You can teach General Zhu Ran to lead five thousand troops to line up on the shore to prevent problems before they happen, and at the same time cut off Sun Huan's return route by sea."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "It's absolutely safe, if Sun Huan sticks to it and won't retreat, so what?"

Gan Ning laughed and said, "This is the easiest thing. Now that our army has besieged the city, Sun Huan has no information inside and outside. First, let the soldiers shout in unison, 'Sun Quan is besieged in Yulin, and will be defeated soon'. Sun Huan must be panicked when he hears this. Withdraw the troops and return to the west, and I will ambush them on the way, and the event will be settled."

Zhao Yun repeatedly praised the ingenuity of this plan, so he followed it.

However, Sun Huan was stationed at the top of the city, and seeing the strength of the Wei army, he was very disturbed. Suddenly, all the people in the city shouted: "Sun Quan is trapped in Yulin, and he will be captured soon!"

Hearing this, Sun Huan turned pale with shock: "My lord is besieged, what can I do?"

Cui Yu, a general of the Ministry of Time, was at his side and said, "General, the words of the enemy soldiers should not be trusted. If you believe this and abandon the city, the two armies will be in danger. Now the general should only guard the city firmly, and send scouts to investigate the rest. Regarding the situation of the three-way army, we will discuss it later."

Sun Huan deeply believed it, so he ordered the generals to guard the city, appease the soldiers, and stop believing the enemy's lies.

For several days in a row, Zhao Yun urged the army to rush to attack, but Sun Huan held them all.

This plan failed, and Gan Ning, who had been feeding mosquitoes for more than ten days in the forest, had to return angrily and seek another plan.

On the other side, Sun Quan was confronting Cheng Yuanzhi's army outside Yulin City, when he heard that Sun Huan had sent for help, he was shocked and immediately called civil and military consultations.

Sun Quan said worriedly: "Now Sun Huan is trapped in the South China Sea. He has lost his army and lost his general. Seeing that Wei's army is too powerful to hold back, what should we do?"

Lu Meng stepped forward and said, "My lord, although the situation is urgent, we still have more than [-] troops. We are ready for a battle. Why should we be afraid of the Wei army?"

"It is hot summer at this time, and the Wei army will not be able to last long when it is too hot. When it is too hot, it will move the army to camp on the bank of the Yushui River. Today, I will block the upper river channel in advance, and then let the water rush to it, and then take advantage of the momentum to cover up the enemy. The army is bound to be defeated."

"This is the only way to win, the rest is nothing to worry about."

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he accepted what he played, and immediately ordered the generals to go to the upper reaches of the Yushui River to cut off the river.

But Cheng Yuanzhi camped outside Yulin City, facing the scorching sun every day and suffering unspeakably.

He wanted to order all the soldiers to go to the forest to escape the summer heat, but he was afraid that Liu Bei's car would be in trouble, so he hesitated.

At this time, the barbarian king Samoko said: "There is a river ten miles south of the city, called Yushui. Why don't the king move the general camp here as a way to escape the summer heat."

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hands again and again and said: "The ancients once said: An army of victorious soldiers should not be stationed by the water, and an army of invincible soldiers should not camp in the forest. This is impossible."

Sha Moke was taken aback when he heard the words: "My lord, although I am a barbarian, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics. Why haven't I heard this sentence? There is no reason for this sentence."

Sha Moke's words are not aimless. In this era of war, soldiers and horses are usually stationed by the water.

Of course, Shamoke meant that the first half of the sentence was unreasonable, but he agreed with the second half. Liu Bei was burned to death not long ago.

Cheng Yuanzhi wanted to popularize health knowledge to Shamoke, and told him that "10,000+ people camped by the river, and the consequences of eating, drinking and drinking in the river will inevitably lead to cross-infection and the plague will rage."

After thinking about it, he still shook his head and laughed, without making an argument.

Why are there so many plagues in this era?Isn't it because every time the army goes to a place, they camp by the river, wash their hands in the river, drink water in the river, and use the river for convenience.

Then the plague came.

The most typical example is the Battle of Chibi in the original time and space, where 80 troops were stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which triggered a terrible plague.

Therefore, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't think about camping by the river at all.
