Under the night, the moon is like a disk.
The bright moonlight shines down, making it possible to see everything around you clearly at night near Surudha City, even though the night is hazy, and the light is not dark. Under such premise, the cavalry led by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao traveled very quickly.
This time, in order to capture Guwani Port, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao mobilized 3,000 cavalry.
All are the most elite cavalry.
These people are not the tired soldiers who have been fighting under Guan Yu. They are all elites brought by Lu Xuan. They have strong combat effectiveness and high energy, so they can be mobilized by Guan Yu to perform tasks.
Zhang Liao followed Guan Yu. He looked relaxed, but he said: "Yun Chang, this time we are going to Guwani Port. Have you sent any sentinels to keep an eye on Suraduo City? Once we raid, Suraduo City If Radha City sends people to rush for reinforcements, it might be bad. We can't decide with a battle at that time. If we scare the enemy, all the naval forces in Guwani Port will board the ships and go to sea, and we will not be able to capture the other side."
Guan Yu looked confident. As the horse ran, his long beard fluttered under his chin and said with a smile: "Don't worry Wenyuan, I have already arranged sentinels to keep an eye on Valens' possible actions."
Zhang Liao nodded and continued on his way.
Back then, both of them had fought hard in Liaodong, fought together, stabilized the situation together, and collaborated together later, so they had a good relationship.
The distance from Suratha City to Guwani Port is not too far, only about twenty miles.
As late at night approached, Guan Yu and his party were approaching.
However, Guan Yu made people slow down, because once there was too much fanfare, it would be easy to scare the snake. In addition, in order to ensure a smooth night, the war horses were all hoofed, and the soldiers were forbidden to speak, so as not to disturb the Roman army at the Guvani port in advance.
"Da da!"
At this time, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Under the silent night sky, the sound of horse hooves was conspicuous.
This is a sentinel that does not specialize in handling horse hooves, and it is also helpful for running. The sentinel quickly came to Guan Yu and reported: "General Guan, three thousand soldiers have come from Suraduo City. The opponent is not cavalry, they are all infantry. , and they are also escorting some supplies, and they are traveling very slowly."
Guan Yu frowned after hearing this.
It couldn't have come at a worse time.
Guan Yu glanced at the Guwa Port Camp Dazhai not far away, where he could already see campfires, and then looked at the darkness behind him.
He frowned, looked at Zhang Liao and said: "Wenyuan, the current situation is very bad. If we go to attack Guwa Port now, and the troops from the rear come to kill us, we will be attacked from both front and rear, and we may not be able to survive." It’s easy to handle. If we withdraw first to attack the Roman army coming to the port, we will alert the enemy. Wenyuan, what do you think we should do?”
Zhang Liao made a decision immediately and said: "Chang Yun, you have thought too much."
Guan Yu asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "We are less than a quarter of an hour away from the camp at Guwa Port. We can definitely reach it in a quarter of an hour at most. In addition, although there are a large number of Roman troops coming from behind with supplies, at their speed, It will definitely take longer. According to current judgment, it should be at least half an hour."
He looked directly at the sentinel and said, "Is it half an hour away?"
"have!"
The sentry replied firmly.
Zhang Liao shrugged and said with murderous intent: "If that's the case, what do we have to worry about? Kill when it's time to kill, and then talk about it later. Besides, we are all cavalry. We will set fire to the camp after we kill it, and defeat the opponent in one go. At the same time, leave a group of soldiers, quickly control the warship, and then deploy other cavalry to directly attack the Roman army coming to the port of Guva. This battle is over, and it will be decided quickly. In the end, a two-front battle will be achieved, and everyone will win. Purpose."
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Wen Yuan is right, just fight now."
He looked at the Roman soldiers' camp approaching the coast not far away and said, "In that case, let's speed up."
Zhang Liao also nodded.
"Charge and kill them."
Guan Yu ordered loudly.
Three thousand cavalry rushed on the road in a mighty manner, because there was only a quarter of an hour left, and Zhang Liao and others went all out, using the fastest speed. It originally took a quarter of an hour, but it took more than a quarter of an hour to get closer. Camp.
This camp was built on the shore.
It was late at night now and the camp was quiet.
Except for the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp, everyone else was resting.
The cavalry closed the distance and ran towards them with a rumble. The soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp looked very surprised at the sudden arrival of the cavalry at night.
Considering that in this battle, Valens' side was steadily suppressing Guan Yu, so the distance was still relatively far away, and they could only hear the sound of war drums, but could not see the cavalry coming from a distance, and the soldiers standing guard did not report.
What if it’s one of our own?
The distance is getting closer and closer.
When under the burning torches in the distance, cavalry could be seen galloping towards them. They were not cavalry from the Roman Empire. They were all wearing Ming Army armor. They were all Ming Army cavalry. Only then did the soldiers on guard wake up. stand up.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The soldiers standing guard shouted loudly.
"call out!"
The cold arrow came and shot through the sentry's throat with a thud. The soldier raised his head and fell down.
Several other soldiers standing guard were also killed by bows and arrows fired at them.
In the camp, although the soldiers of the Roman Empire responded quickly, under the rapid impact of the cavalry, the camp had just reacted and rushed out of the camp. Zhang Liao and Guan Yu came over and entered the camp. The cavalry swept directly. Kill everyone on sight.
The Roman soldiers in the camp were overwhelmed.
This kind of defense is completely unstoppable without even a single face-to-face encounter.
Guan Yu was still worried about being resisted and stalling for time, but now that the army's charge was easy and he won easily, he sealed the camp, quickly killed the fleeing Roman soldiers, and controlled the surrendered soldiers.
The number of Roman soldiers in the camp was not large. After taking down these soldiers in charge of the port, all the Roman warships anchored at the port could be controlled, preventing the sailors from quickly boarding the ships and taking a group of them with them. The warships left one after another.
In fact, a large number of sailors went to Suratra City, and only a small number of them stayed at the port.
The one thousand people here are only responsible for maintaining the port and maintaining the warships.
Within a quarter of an hour, Guan Yu completely captured the port camp. He moved quickly to control the soldiers in the port camp, cleared away the casualties at the entrance of the camp, and escorted the soldiers to the rear for control, leaving an empty entrance to the camp.
After all, the Ming army was different from the Roman soldiers.
Communication is also difficult.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Ming army to personally stand guard to seduce, nor to let Roman soldiers stand guard. They simply removed the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp, as if they were relaxing their guard.
From a theoretical analysis, it makes sense.
Valens achieved a great victory on the front line and could destroy the Ming army at any time. The port camp at the rear is naturally safe and there is no need to worry.
The campground was empty, just because of human nature.
Zhang Liao and Guan Yu, with their cavalry, waited quietly with expectant expressions. They captured the port docks and controlled a large number of Roman warships. At the same time, destroy this group of Roman troops who came to rescue the port terminal.
Time passed little by little, and when torches appeared in the distance, the team led by Split slowly approached the Guwani port. Guwani looked at the direction of the camp.
From a distance, everything looks quiet.
Under the night, it was quiet.
There was a smile on Split's face, thinking that Grand Duke Valens's considerations were too much. There would be no enemy attack tonight, and the Ming Dynasty's army had not noticed any threats to the port.
If he comes tonight, he can complete the transfer of supplies.
A large amount of supplies were transferred to the port, and another two thousand people were sent back to Suratha City. Split took the people out to sea.
The small islands near the sea are naturally lacking in supplies.
Water sources are more tense.
Eating energy means relying on the sea to eat the sea.
However, it is safe enough to ensure that the navy is not raided and that Valens always has a way out. Once Lu Xuan's cavalry comes, the camp at the port will be in trouble.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, a scream came out.
A soldier under Split shouted loudly not far away.
Split was very cautious tonight. When he heard the scream, he immediately looked over and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier cried sadly and loudly said: "General Split, I encountered horse shit. There was a big pile of horse shit here. I stepped on it and the sole of my foot was completely sunken. It was so miserable."
Split said: "What's the matter? It's a small matter. Keep going."
He got bright.
Split still had a smile on his face, because this man had such bad luck. However, the moment a smile appeared on his face, an idea flashed in his mind, and the next moment his expression suddenly froze.
His expression was extremely solemn.
He looked in the direction of the camp at the port. Although it was still some distance away, looking from a distance, he could still vaguely notice a little bit of the situation.
The campground was quiet.
Seems quiet.
Split decisively gave the order: "Send the order to stop the entire army's advance."
The soldiers who were transporting supplies stopped one after another. The soldiers who had stayed up all night looking a little nervous and confused as to why they had to stop now were incomprehensible.
The lieutenant of Split was a man named Daiya.
Daiya looked very thin. He looked at Split and said loudly: "General Split, we are already very close to the camp at the port. Why do we stop suddenly now?"
Split said: "The situation is very wrong. Immediately send an order and notify the soldiers along the way. Everyone will observe the surroundings to see if there is any horse shit. If there is, report it immediately."
"ah!"
Daiya was even more confused.
What is this order?
It makes people completely confused and confused.
Daiya was still hesitating, but Split had already forcibly ordered: "What are you doing standing still? Go and execute it quickly."
"As you command!"
Daiya quickly ordered.
The army was also puzzled, but the officers and soldiers all carried out the report and reported it in a very short time. Horse shit did appear in some areas, but it was just scattered and messy, which didn't mean anything.
Daiya was still confused and didn't understand the reason, so he asked: "General Split, what is going on?"
Split said solemnly: "The camp at the port must have been captured by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry. From Suraduo City to the port, there has been no supplies. However, the official road is full of horse shit. You What do you think it could be?”
