Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief recently, because another group of troops came from the west to meet Chen Lan's army.
However, Ji Ling hoped that Zhang Xun or Qiao Rui would come, because among the 30,000 infantry and cavalry, he and these two men had the largest number of troops, each of which was five or six thousand soldiers, accounting for more than half of the total force. Like Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Wu Jing, who was defeated, led only more than three thousand soldiers and the two armies could not resist one army. If these two men arrived, Ji Ling could launch a general attack immediately.
Just when Ji Ling was about to see him, he received a letter from Lu Bu on the other side of the river: On the day of Gengxin, he and the General of the Cavalry, the Dragon Cavalry, were determined to fight the general first, and then kill the general!
Ji Ling was surprised, General Cavalry?! When did he come here? What was his intention to come here? What was his position in this battle? Since he fought with Lu Bu, he seemed to be on his side, but why didn’t he contact him?
Lei Bo Ze spurted a breath from his nostrils: "Fight the general first, then kill the general - a big tone, do you think we are a native chicken and a tile dog?"
Chen Lan didn't expect that she had just arrived to watch a good show. She touched her lips and kept rolling her eyes: "Ma Jinglong? This person is very famous in Xuzhou! The Wu envoy of Guangling once wrote a letter to the lord. If you want to take Xuzhou, you must not be enemies with this person, otherwise it will be difficult for Xuzhou to decide... Didn't this person marry the princess of the current dynasty and also be named General of the Cavalry, how could he come here?"
Speaking of "marrying a princess" and "a general of cavalry", Chen Lan looked jealous and envious. She was promoted and wealthy and married a beautiful wife. All good things made this guy catch up. Why wasn't I...
Ji Ling discussed with Yan Xiang, a counselor under the tent, but he couldn't guess which one Lu Bu was singing. What was going on with Ma Jinglong, who suddenly appeared. In the end, he had to wait and see.
I have to say that Ji Ling made things complicated. Lu Bu had no tricks, just relying on the heart of a warrior and the peak showdown that he never forgets.
Liu Bei also thinks this matter is complicated.
When he heard that Ma Han was coming and he was going to fight with Lu Bu, Zhang Fei jumped three feet high and shouted: "Ma Jinglong still owe me a battle! Very good. If he doesn't die, he will fight me."
When Guan Yu heard this name, his face turned ashen. Like Lu Bu, he fought against the generals alone. He never suffered a defeat in his life, but he suffered a great loss under this man. With Guan Yu's heart, such a shame is enough to remember for the rest of his life.
"Third brother, second brother will give you everything, but you have to give me this time." Guan Yu stopped stroking his beard this time, but rubbed the sharp sword that was sharpened and brightly, with a blue air lingering on his face. The murderous intent was boiling.
Liu Bei waved his hand, stopped the two brothers from fighting each other, stroked the black spearhead, frowned and pondered: "Ma Jinglong, a man who has always been a night owl, has caused trouble everywhere. Two years ago, this man led more than a hundred people to Xuzhou, and made trouble. He gained countless gains and returned with praise. To this day, the whole country of Xuzhou still remembers his kindness... Hehe, I can't listen to it. If this man wants to plan the position of Xuzhou Mu, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with him..."
The chief clerk Jian Yong sensitively heard a certain meaning from the lord's words: "The lord's intention is that Ma Jinglong's trip is about to be involved in Xuzhou?"
Sun Gan immediately shook his head: "Ma Jinglong's center of gravity is in Henan, with Yan and Yuzhou in the middle. His hands cannot be stretched that long."
Liu Bei suddenly laughed: "No matter why Ma Jinglong came from, Xuzhou is no longer ours. No matter what his plan is, it is Lu Fengxian's brain trouble and has nothing to do with us. Hahaha..."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and said in their hearts: No matter what his plan is, since he is here, don’t think of running away!
...
Ji Ling's camp was divided into two camps, east and west, and there was a wide road in the middle, which invisibly divided the two camps into two. Dongying was Ji Ling's original army, with more than 2,000 people and horses, with 200 cavalry and 500 soldiers. The rest were auxiliary soldiers, and only 30% of the soldiers were.
Don’t think it’s too small. In fact, among the seven armies, Ji Ling’s proportion of the main soldiers was already considered to be too large. Among Qiao Rui’s six thousand soldiers, the main soldiers were less than 1,000. Lei Bo and Chen Lan’s army were not as many as Ji Ling’s.
No wonder, this has always been the characteristic of Yuan Shu's army. It has a leap in quality, quantity first, and the momentum is huge, and it is bullying the few. If you are afraid, that's right. This is exactly the effect Yuan Shu wants. Yuan Shu used this human sea tactic to clean up many army that were worse than him. However, this move failed to work on Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao first entered Yanzhou, Yuan Shu joined forces with the Southern Xiongnu and the Heishan Army, leading the army with the general Liu Xiang, claiming to be 100,000, and attacked Puyang. As a result, Cao Cao took more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers and attacked him from a long distance. He defeated Yuan's army at Kuangting, and even defeated the Heishan Army and the Southern Xiongnu, creating a miracle of defeating ten. This not only reflects the skillful use of Cao's troops, but also exposes the scum of Yuan's army.
If other princes suffer such heavy losses, they will most likely be depressed, just like Gongsun Zan, but Yuan Shu is different. In just one or two years, his strength has recovered as before. In addition to Yangzhou's deep manpower and material resources, as long as quantity, regardless of quality, is also an important factor.
This is also the reason why Ji Ling had the two armies of Chen Lan and Lei Bo, and the total strength of tens of thousands of troops, was reluctant to launch an attack on Lu Bu and Liu Bei's army.
The Xiying is near the shore of Sishui. It is the camp where three thousand Danyang soldiers are stationed. It is the most unexpected in the entire camp. If it is attacked by the enemy or war begins, they are the first army to contact the enemy. In any case, they must be the ones who suffer the most. Unfortunately, these Danyang soldiers are the dragons in the water, and they will only have to be slaughtered if they are away from the water.
Ji Ling also knew that these three thousand Danyang soldiers were placed in the right position and could definitely exert their due combat power. Unfortunately, this battle was a regular land battle. If you don’t fight water battles, you can’t raise these water soldiers, right? What’s more, the lord’s purpose is to consume this army.
Yuan Shu's sinister intentions and Ji Ling's ulterior motives were seen clearly, and the three thousand Tao Danyang soldiers could see it clearly, but they were angry, but there was no other way. Ji Ling had three or four fake Simas and more than a dozen military marquises in this army, but there was an unusual situation and he took action first and then reported. Many Danyang soldiers who had complained were already whipped and even went to the camp through their ears.
As the commander of this army, Tao Yongren is as famous as his mediocre. However, he is old and has a high qualification, and has always been in charge of this Danyang naval army. During this period, he has been sighing and has no choice but to face Ji Ling's strength.
On this day, one of Tao Yong's nephews had an argument with a military marquis whom Ji Ling had planted. Both sides were injured. As a result, their boss, the new fake Sima, was scolded for being accused of the military stick. At the moment, the nephew was lying on the door panel, and someone was lifted to Tao Yong and cried sadly.
Tao Yong was as big as a fight, and he had no choice but to spread his hands: "I'll admit that I'm unlucky, I can't find me."
"Uncle Ji, they did this to thank us for not having the chance to survive."
Tao Yong had a gloomy face and snorted coldly: "They are unkind. Don't blame us for being unrighteous. We have legs and feet on our bodies. If we stay on the battlefield, we will withdraw when we see that the situation is not good..."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside the tent said: "I'm afraid that your head will land before you even move your legs and feet. Are you like a supervising team?"
Tao Yong's shock was extraordinary, and his shock and anger were mixed: "Xiao Qi. Qi Sheng, what's wrong with you? He actually let outsiders come in..."
The curtain was lifted, and a man smiled and said, "Uncle Ji, don't blame those two children, the person who came was not an outsider."
Tao Yong stared at the person blankly and said in surprise: "It's Bojun!"
The person who came was Tao Shang, and Chen Dao and a guard were following him. After the three of them delivered letters of war to Lu Bu, they immediately crossed the river and sneaked into the enemy camp.
Chen Dao did a very easy job of sneaking into the enemy camp, but the pottery merchant was not the material. However, if the enemy camp was full of his own people, it would be a different matter.
After crossing the river, we joined the Danyang Navy Army, and there was no need to worry about what happened next. The three of them were like in their own camp (actually their own camp), strolling in the garden, and came all the way to Tao Yong's tent.
Chen Dao showed the fish talisman and the Tao merchant explained his purpose. Tao Yong said nothing, "You can follow the general of the cavalry, and you will be in accordance with the intention of the elder brother, and you will be in accordance with the intention of the soldiers to return. Everything is based on the commander's order."
Chen Dao was not humble, and it was not the time to be humble. Now, Tao Yong asked him to invite the important and reliable leaders of this navy army one by one, and then set up a warning for light and dark whistle around the military tent.
Chen Dao explained in detail to the leaders of the Tao family who formed a circle (including Tao Yong's nephew lying on the door panel): "We have negotiated with Lu Bu's army. Once the lord and Lu Bu fight begin, everyone must be prepared. After the fight ends, Lu Bu will attack Ji Ling's army. At this time, Ji Ling will definitely let you take the lead. No matter which military formation you are ordered to attack, the other party will not launch a counterattack on you. You just need to pass quickly from the side of the opponent's military formation - remember not to shoot a arrow at the opponent's military formation, and do not make any provocative actions, otherwise the consequences will be borne by yourself."
The leaders of the Tao nodded one after another, showing joy. They left the battle, and even if Ji Ling was furious, he did not dare to chase them. They could only watch them escape. It seemed that everyone forgot to ask, what would happen if the fight failed?
Just when I was happy, I suddenly heard Xiao Qi's voice coming from outside the tent: "Sima Tan, why are you here?"
A rough voice responded: "Come and see how the Tao family children cried to Tao Ji."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent changed color, and Tao Yong's nephew, who was lying on the door panel, was even more ashamed and angry, his eyes blew fire.
Chen Dao waved his hand and everyone scattered, sat back on both sides, grabbed the sauce on the table and chewed it in big mouthfuls, and the scene looked like a banquet.
The curtain was lifted, and a strong man with a thirty-year-old forehead was a little bald, a big face and small eyes strode in. He was shocked when he saw so many people present.
Tao Yong stood up and laughed: "Tan Sima arrived uninvited, probably because she smelled the fragrance, please, please."
Tan Sima glanced suspiciously, first met Tao Yong's nephew, snorted his nostrils, then turned his face away, and just saw Chen Dao - such an outstanding body and calm state, it was difficult not to attract attention.
Tan Sima approached and looked up and down: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Tao Yong walked over with a smile, intentionally blocking his vision, and reached out to pull his sleeve: "It's just a little too long. How can Sima see that three thousand soldiers in my camp?"
Tan Sima stretched out his hand: "Take out the waist card and take a look."
The air suddenly became tense.
Chen Dao calmly drank the butterfly, put down the wooden bowl in his hand, nodded and smiled at Tan Sima, and reached into his arms, as if he was taking out a waist card. Tao Shangshang on the side was in his throat. He knew that what Chen Dao took out would not be a waist card, but a short knife...
At this moment, Xiao Qi rushed in with a gust of wind and shouted: "Hurry up! Go and see it! The battle is about to begin!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
