The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 The Confrontation at Langya Mountain

"No reason!"

Liu Bei was furious, Zhao Yun, I tried my best to win over him back then, and wanted to bring him under my command, but I was spoiled by Cheng Yaojin, who was full of bad ideas, and brought to Qingzhou by Cheng Yaojin, and became Liu Xiao's subordinate His confidant general, I treated him well back then, I never thought that he would be teased so much near Langya Mountain!
"The last general is not good in battle, and has frustrated the spirit of the army, so I ask the lord to punish him!"

Gan Ning fell to his knees and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Get up, we are waiting for the military plane to be unknown, this must be Zhao Yun's deliberate intention to set up the illusion that he is not in Huainan, in order to be proud of our army, hehe, but after all, this battle is based on strength No matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, he is only one person, and now Yun Chang and Han Sheng are all here, and their combat power is not inferior to Zhao Yun, so it will be a matter of time before he can be defeated!"

Pang Tong shook his head and replied: "My lord, this Zhao Yun is bold and careful, both wise and brave, and even more amazing in force. It seems to be better than Yun Changyi Dedu. Don't be careless. We will move the army forward and fight with Zhao Yun. Against each other, just look at his defensive deployment, and you will know the clue!"

Pang Tong and Liu Bei led the army all the way forward, and came to a position less than eight miles away from Langya Mountain, and constantly sent scouts to investigate the surrounding military situation.

"My lord, this Zhao Yun is really not simple. The three big camps stand on the mountain, echoing each other, occupying an absolute geographical advantage. Although there are not many troops, it is not so easy to break through the defensive position here..."

Pang Tong sighed.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and asked, "Does the military commander have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"A good strategy for defeating the enemy?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "No!"

Liu Bei's face darkened, didn't he?No, why are you laughing, you are seriously ill!
Pang Tong saw that Liu Bei was a little displeased and said with a smile: "My lord, we just captured Huainan County. What good strategy do we need? Please note that we and Wen Chang's army are just a cover-up. The real main force of the attack is Yide and Wenpin's army... ..."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Even if the main offensive forces are Yide and Wenpin, Zhao Yun's [-] to [-] troops here are a hidden danger after all. If they are not defeated as soon as possible, they will be a trouble in the future. Moreover, in Guangling, Wencheng It's not Zhou Yu's opponent, once Zhou Yu defeats Wen Changxijin, then we will be under a lot of pressure..."

Pang Tong smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry. Xuzhou only has a total of 5 troops. Excluding the troops stationed in various counties, the number of troops that can be mobilized is only 5000. Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu gathered [-] troops in Guangling, and Zhao Yun gathered another one here." With a force of [-] to [-] troops, in the western part of Huainan County, the current strength is only [-] to [-] naval troops. Since Zhao Yun is here, Zhou Tai must be in Xiakou. A Zhou Tai only has [-] men under his command. How can he Can they stop the armies of Yide and Wenpin? Once the Han River ferry is captured, Yide and Wenpin's troops will split into two groups. They will be able to sweep across the entire Huainan County in less than ten days. Huainan County is in crisis. General Zhao Yun can still station his army here. What's the point? We can only lead our troops to retreat to avoid being surrounded by us in the Chuzhong area. As long as he moves, our chance to encircle and annihilate Zhao Yun will naturally appear..."

What Pang Tong said is right. Now Zhao Yun has prepared in advance to build three big camps on Langya Mountain and Huangfu Mountain. They are condescending, with their backs against the Chu River. If they want to attack and defeat Zhao Yun, it will definitely not be so easy. But once Zhao Yun abandons Langya Mountain and Huangfu Mountain , reflexively resisting Zhang Fei and Wenpin's attack, during the movement, it is almost impossible to ensure that no flaws are exposed, not to mention Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, two armies with a strength of up to [-], not to mention Zhao Yun, even It is difficult for Zhou Yu or Yue Fei to get out of this situation.

In the days that followed, Liu Bei stationed his army on the opposite side of Zhao Yun, and he was not in a hurry to attack. He just dispatched his army every day and kept cruising around. How could Zhao Yun dare to be careless in the face of a strong enemy?He could only press his mind and confront Liu Bei, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

It's just that Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu really didn't expect that at this time, Jingzhou soldiers, led by Zhang Fei and Wenpin, would brazenly cross the Yangtze River and launch a fierce attack on the ferry in Huainan County!
As Pang Tong expected, how could Zhou Tai be the opponent of Zhang Fei and Wenpin?Even if it is one-on-one, Zhou Tai is not an opponent of two people, let alone two-on-one, the strength of his men is more than six times that of Zhou Tai. Facing the thunderous offensive of Zhang Fei and Wenpin, Zhou Tai can only fight against each other. After persisting for a day, at dusk the next day, the defense line at the Yangtze River Ferry was smashed by the Jingzhou Army.

Zhou Tai couldn't stop Zhang Fei and Wenpin's attack at all, and was defeated by the two men. In three days, he lost five water villages and six checkpoints. In five days, most of the land in Huainan County fell into Jingzhou in the hands of the army.

Huainan County is not a county like Ruyin and Jiyin. The area of ​​one Huainan County is enough to equal three Ruyin Counties. In five or six days, most of Huainan County was defeated, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chu where Zhao Yun was. middle!

In just half a month, the situation changed suddenly. No one thought that Liu Bei would make a move at this time, and the moment he made a move, it would be like a thunderbolt. The key target was Huainan County. All the troops combined cannot be compared with Liu Bei's troops.

An army of [-] gathered in the central and eastern part of Huainan County, sandwiching Zhao Yun's [-] to [-] Xuzhou soldiers!
It can be said that the Xuzhou army led by Zhao Yun has reached the most dangerous situation. If it is not careful, it will be made dumplings by Liu Bei's two armies. Wenpin's pincers had already disappeared, and Zhou Tai retreated all the way to the north of Huainan County with only two hundred remnants.

"General Zilong, the cavalry to ask for help from the Metropolitan Governor has already been dispatched, but it is not close from Huainan County to Guangling, which is hundreds of miles away, and the river is full of branches. It will take more than ten days, do you think we need to temporarily withdraw our troops, if we continue to stay in Huainan County, once Liu Bei's army is encircled, there is a danger of our entire army being wiped out..."

Mi Zhu from the military record room said in a low voice.

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "No retreat, absolutely no retreat. Once we withdraw from the camp, we are in a flat area and there is no danger to defend. Once we are surrounded, we will die faster. Moreover, once we withdraw from Huainan The county, the whole of Xuzhou lost its barrier and fell into a crisis! If you don’t withdraw, you must not withdraw! We must stick to Chuzhong and wait for Gongjin to come to help!”

Standing guard, the present guarding is not the same as before. In the past, Zhao Yun’s three camps watched each other, and there was the Chu River behind them. There was no need to worry about the water source, and there was a steady stream of food and grass support behind them. Now Huainan County City has fallen, and the food and grass are cut off. , the food in each army will last for about ten days if it is exhausted, and if it takes longer, it will only be able to gnaw on the bark...
