After Guan Yu summoned his subordinates one by one and gave instructions, he asked Zhou Cang to prepare his five hundred swordsmen, wait for the opponent to rush up, attack them in groups, and then capture them alive as Guo Jia said .
"What a pity." Guo Jia looked around the camp. When he set up camp before, he chose an open and flat place. This kind of place has a broad view and can avoid being ambushed, but it will not be easy to ambush others.
"What's wrong?" Guan Yu filled up a glass of wine for Guo Jia in a rare gesture, and Guo Jia drank it helplessly. Then Guan Yu took away the wine glasses and wine pots, replaced them with teapots and cups, and added a few snacks.
Guo Jia helplessly picked up the tea cup and began to dream about the smell of wine. Guan Yu would offer him a glass of wine every time before a battle. After this glass of wine, he would not want to see the wine until the fight was over. This is Guan Yu's rule. I can give it to you. Special powers allow you to drink in the military camp, but you must not drink to cause trouble.
"The other party is also a shrewd person. We can just give up the plan to encircle and annihilate the other party. The other party will not go deep. We can mobilize archers and crossbows to hurt as many as we can. This place is too flat. There are pros and cons." Guo Jia sighed and said. , directly pointing out that this terrain problem is too big.
"That's right. If that's the case, don't get entangled. Adjust the crossbowmen and crossbows to stun them the moment they appear. The other party will inevitably retreat." Guan Yu also understood that the place he chose to set up camp was too flat. Although The field of vision is broad, but the other party's field of vision will be equally broad, and the other party's cautious nature will definitely not let go of any doubts, and it is very likely that he will see through his own arrangement.
"That's all we can do. The other party came so fast that we didn't even have time to set up. And if we leave the camp now, it's so flat. If we don't go to the mountainous area, we have to be quite far away to have an ambush effect." Guo Jia sighed. , "Instead of doing this, it is better to directly defend the enemy from outside."
"Then let's do this, directly mobilize the crossbowmen to prepare in the front camp, and ambush the cavalry on the left and right sides. They can kill as many as they can with a wave of crossbows. Then the cavalry from the two battalions on the left and right will rush out. They can catch and kill. , if it doesn't work, don't chase for a long time." Guan Yu was also a decisive person and made his decision immediately.
On the other side, Zhang Liao silently ate the few dry rations left, counted the number of people, and waited for nightfall.
[Let’s discuss this with Fengxian after we get back. 】Zhang Liao swallowed the dry food with water, and silently thought in his heart that Zhang Liao now admires Liu Bei more than Yuan Shao. Although he seems stupid, his benevolence makes Zhang Liao relieved a lot. "Maybe Liu Bei can really rely on him." Kindness creates a pure land. 】
Zhang Liao poured the remaining water on his face and relied on the cold touch to calm himself down. This was not the time to think about this. He had to defeat Guan Yu in front of him before talking about anything else.
When Guan Yu buried the pot to make rice, he had already arranged the archers on the edge of the camp, and the crossbows were also arranged in various places. Different from the previous double-layered camps that were one person high, this time the camp was only half a person high, but it was well built. It was very dense, with no gaps at all, and the crossbowmen and bed crossbows were squatting behind the once dense fence, and there was no problem at all visible from the front.
Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang to carry the big sword, and led the school swordsmen to sit in the camp and have barbecue with the soldiers, and then arranged Jiang Gong and others next to the camp wall.
In this way, even if the intensity of the night attack was too strong, the crossbowmen did not repel the opponent as expected. The school swordsmen in the army and Guan Yu, who was in the center and shared the joys and sorrows, could instantly calm down the situation and launch a counterattack. .
"How is Yuan Shao?" Guan Yu glanced at Pei Yuan Shao and asked. Compared to Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao had a sharper ear and eyesight. Now he held a bowl upside down on the ground and listened carefully.
"Not yet..." Pei Yuanshao shook his head, and Peiyuan soon opened his eyes, with a touch of joy on his face, "Coming, coming, as the military advisor said, the number of people will be more than a thousand!"
"This is what Fengxiao said." Guan Yu said proudly. Although he often looked down upon scribes, it also depended on who he was dealing with. At least he had never looked down upon the few scribes he had worked with, whether it was Chen Xi or Guo Jia. , or Liu Ye who has been transferred, Guan Yu highly respects them. What he hates are those rotten scholars, not the truly capable wise men.
"Go, notify Jiang Gong and let him prepare." Guan Yu ordered Pei Yuanshao.
Regarding the Yellow Turbans under his command, Guan Yu did not treat Guan Hai lightly because of his loyalty. Most of the Yellow Turban Qushuai had experienced hundreds of battles. Although their overall view was not as good as those of the good generals, they had experience in commanding 1,800 men in battle. Rich.
In addition, these Yellow Turban Qushuai all have good martial arts skills, and they are more than enough to serve as commanders of the army. As a result, many middle and lower-level officers in Taishan are based on Qingzhou's big and small Qushuai.
When it was dark, Zhang Liao began to wrap the horse's hooves and began to march slowly in the direction of Guan Yu. The speed was not fast, but there was almost no sound.
As they marched one mile closer to Guan Yu's camp, Zhang Liao could already smell the aroma of meat and wine. Although Guan Yu gave each of his soldiers a bowl of wine, the amount of wine consumed was close to 10,000. It’s not a small amount, and the natural aroma of wine is also wafting everywhere.
[There are no scouts. It seems that the other party is a little careless. ] When Zhang Liao smelled the fragrance, a hint of joy naturally appeared on his face. Not to mention that Zhang Liao only had a good impression of Liu Bei, even if Zhang Liao had the idea of taking refuge with Liu Bei, he would not hold back at this time. .
As the distance got closer and closer, Zhang Liao could already hear the shouts in the opposite camp, as well as the chants of wrestling inside. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and shouted to his soldiers, "Mount your horse!" Prepare to attack."
Zhang Liao got on his horse, and all the soldiers under his command also jumped on their horses with ferocious expressions, and then headed towards Guan Yu's camp without any concealment. In just one mile, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry arrived almost instantly after adding up their speed.
The moment Zhang Liao approached Guan Yu's camp, he unconsciously glanced at the wall of Guan Yu's camp again, and this glance made him soak in cold sweat directly through his armor. Isn't that the crossbow that reflected the black light something else?
"Stand up!" Zhang Liao roared, and he struggled to release his inner energy. Under the firelight, Zhang Liao's expression was extremely ferocious at this moment. At the same time, countless crossbow arrows and bow arrows were mixed with long and long arrows. Spear-like crossbow arrows were fired at Zhang Liao and his troops.
In an instant, people were on their backs, and there was almost no difference from Guo Jia's estimate. In order to ensure that his subordinates would not be separated due to the night attack on them, Zhang Liao gathered his subordinates together. Under such a dense rain of arrows, this dense formation It was almost a devastating blow. (To be continued.)
