Chapter 928
Ailang didn't expect that Liu Bei would have such a habit and was surprised.
Then he smiled wickedly: "It seems that those who are capable have some habits! Cao Cao's habit is to collect married women, while Liu Bei's habit is to collect women's bellybands! Haha!"
Then he put his bellyband back into the wooden box and closed the lid.
Suddenly I thought of myself, I sting my head and muttered, "I should be a capable person, right?
So what is my hobby?"
After thinking for a while, I couldn't think of anything, so I smiled arrogantly: "I don't have any bad habits, but I didn't expect that I was such a perfect good man!"
Lying down on the bed, he fell asleep, and he was already very tired, and soon fell asleep.
However, Zhuge Liang, who was in Chencang City, had no intention of resting at all. He paced back and forth in the hall, frowned tightly, and was thinking about the actions his opponent might take at present.
Today's battle was beyond his expectations, and it severely damaged the enemy's spirit. Chen Cang was temporarily safe, but the enemy was still crowded and powerful, and the main force was still there, and his strength had not suffered much loss. It was too early to be happy now.
Now that the enemy's Nanda camp has been broken, the rear route is cut off, and the situation is very bad. The most urgent thing is to retreat to the south bank to reorganize the line before making progress! Then I thought of the situation on Qipan Peak, and I felt a headache. I sat down in my seat and murmured to myself: "Quspan Peak is in a difficult situation. I am afraid that if there is a slight mistake, our army will suffer a crushing defeat!"
Let go of the matter about Qipanfeng for the time being and return to the present.
He frowned slightly and muttered, "What will Liu Bei and Pang Tong and others do if they want to retreat to the south bank?"
All Zhuge Liang's brain cells were running at full speed, and the other party's various possible actions appeared in his mind continuously.
At this moment, Yan Liang suddenly came in and said with his fists: "Military advisor, the scout came to report just now that an enemy unit quietly left the camp!"
Zhuge Liang was stunned and asked hurriedly: "How many soldiers are there?
Who leads it?
Where did you go?"
Yan Liang said: "It is difficult to judge in the middle of the night, and there are probably tens of thousands of people.
It’s not clear who led it, but the direction they were traveling should be the upstream direction of the Wei River!”
Zhuge Liang looked thoughtful and muttered: "Ten thousand people?
Go upstream?
Are they going to smuggle the Wei River from the upstream?"
At this moment, Gao Shun hurriedly came, clasped his fists at Zhuge Liang and said, "Report to the military advisor, the scout came to report just now, Liu Feng and Zhang Ren led his army to the camp and entered Liu Bei's north bank camp."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression moved and murmured: "Group with one army."
This is a sign of retreat, but there is nothing strange about it.
But how do they want to act?"
Zhuge Liang was suspicious and could not judge the other party's specific actions for a while.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Yan Liang and Gao Shun: "The entire army takes turns to be on guard and prepare for combat. In addition, all scouts were sent to investigate upstream and downstream. If there is any situation, please repay immediately!"
The two generals clasped their fists and agreed and walked quickly.
Zhuge Liang got up and walked to the door of the hall, looked at the night sky, looked at the thoughtful look on his face, and murmured: "Pang Shiyuan, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, a dusty officer quickly entered the gate until Zhuge Liang, bowed and said, "Military advisor, the letter has been delivered to the lord!"
Zhuge Liang withdrew his thoughts and asked, "What's going on over there?
Did the lord say anything?”
The officer said: "The lord is now stationed in the south bank camp of the former Liu Bei army, with more than 10,000 troops, all of which are cavalry.
The lord asked the villain to tell the military advisor that everything here is decided by the military advisor. If the military advisor has any strategy, just tell him!"
Zhuge Liang secretly admired him and couldn't help but sigh: "Only the lord has such a mind!"
Then he thought, "If there are only more than 10,000 cavalrymen, it is probably difficult to stop Liu Bei's army from crossing the river.
If we can accurately determine the opponent's intention and the real location of crossing the river, then I will go out to cooperate with my lord and may also prevent the opponent from crossing the river!..." Zhuge Liang turned around and walked to the map, looking at Chen Cang and its surrounding areas on the map, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, with the current scale of Liu Bei's army, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang and Ailang to eliminate them. If they take the initiative, they might be defeated by the opponent's counterattack and even Chen Cang was thrown away.
But this does not mean that Ailang and Zhuge Liang could not defeat Liu Bei or even completely defeat Liu Bei.
Because the current situation is very beneficial to Ailang and the others, Liu Bei's important southern bank camp was lost and the retreat was cut off. The army was trapped on the north bank of the Wei River and did not retreat back to the southern bank as soon as possible, and the food and grass alone would not last long. At that time, if Ailang and the others were not required to attack, Liu Bei's army would collapse by itself.
Therefore, the current situation is that Liu Bei needs to find a way to retreat to the south bank to regroup, while Ailang needs to find a way to stop this in order to create conditions for a complete defeat of Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei's army was in a bad situation, it was not already in a desperate situation. Although Ailang had a little advantage, he was definitely not sure of victory, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss.
Ai Lang was having a beautiful dream when he suddenly woke up by Dian Wei's screams. He sat up and saw Dian Weili standing beside the bed. He immediately realized that military information was coming and asked immediately: "Lao Dian, does military information?"
Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "The military advisor is here again."
Ailang looked behind Dianwei, but saw no one, and said, "Call him in."
Dian Wei Yingnuo immediately shouted outside: "Summon the Lord!"
Before he finished speaking, a figure swayed at the door, and an officer walked in quickly.
Ailang turned around and sat down beside the bed. The officer rushed straight to Ailang and said, "Go to the lord!"
Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips, presented them with both hands, and said, "Lord, this is a handwritten letter sent by the military advisor to the villain."
Ailang reached out to take the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them, couldn't help but frown and muttered: "What are the tricks that Liu Bei is playing with?
He sent tens of thousands of troops upstream and tens of thousands of troops downstream. Could it be that he would cross the river from three directions at the same time?”
It turned out that in Zhuge Liang's letter, Liu Bei's current actions were mentioned. Liu Bei's tens of thousands of soldiers went upstream to cut down trees and rafts dozens of miles upstream to cut down trees and rafts. At the same time, tens of thousands of soldiers went downstream to cut down trees and rafts dozens of miles downstream to cut down trees and rafts. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of their north bank stayed on the spot to cut down trees and rafts. They acted at the same time in three directions, and they didn't know which direction was the real and which direction was the suspicious soldiers?
Ailang couldn't make a judgment for a while, so he continued to watch.
Zhuge Liang gave his judgment at the end of the letter, and he judged that the opponent's real direction of crossing the river was actually the front of his side, that is, the direction of the North Bank camp.
Ailang felt a little surprised, but then he felt that Zhuge Liang's judgment was very reasonable.
As the saying goes, the most unlikely is often the most likely. According to common sense, if the opponent wants to break through, he should avoid his own cavalry, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious if he is hindered by the river bank.
But because of this, our side will not think that our opponent will do this. If the opponent suddenly breaks through this direction, we will definitely catch our side off guard.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang's judgment should be correct.
Ailang nodded, then finished reading Zhuge Liang's letter in one breath.
Zhuge Liang finally talked about his countermeasures, in short, it was to use the tricks to get the emperor into the trap.
Ailang exclaimed and muttered: "What a Zhuge Kongming! This strategy is really sinister!"
After thinking about it, he said to the officer who came to send the message: "Go back and tell Kong Ming! There is no problem with this plan! Just do it according to his idea! In addition, tell Kong Ming that we may be desperate and we cannot ignore the guard Chen Cang while attacking!"
The officer held his fists and agreed and left in a hurry.
At this time, in the North Bank camp, Liu Bei was paced back and forth, frowning slightly, looking a little worried.
Pang Tong came in from outside, clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Liu Feng and Zhang Ren sent someone to say that everything is going well!"
Liu Bei frowned and said, "Is this OK?"
I'm worried..." Seeing Liu Bei's face with doubts, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Love it, lord! I am using clumsiness to overcome cleverness and will definitely succeed! As for the current situation, there should be no more appropriate strategy than my strategy.
No matter what decisions the enemy makes, we can be invincible!"
Liu Bei nodded, but due to the successive failures before, he still couldn't let go.
The next day, the sun rose from the east, and Liu Bei rode his horse to the river bank and personally directed the army to cross the Wei River.
The wooden rafts made last night were put into the water like dumplings. The officers and soldiers climbed the wooden rafts and crossed the Wei River to attack the other side.
At this time, Ailang was already leading his army to wait on the south bank of the Wei River, ready to fight. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that Zhuge Liang's judgment was correct.
Seeing that the opponent's first wave of wooden rafts carried thousands of officers and soldiers across the central line of the Wei River, he immediately raised the Fang Tian Painted Hydrograph and waved it forward.
The Qin army cavalry, who had already been ready, immediately fired arrows, and countless arrows flew into the middle of the river like locusts. Liu Bei's officers and soldiers quickly raised their shields, and only heard a loud crackling sound. Most of the arrows were shot on the shields, but many Liu Bei's officers and soldiers were still shot into the water by arrows.
Liu Bei's army continued to paddle and approach the south bank, and Ailang's shooting could not effectively stop the opponent's advance.
Seeing this, Ailang couldn't help but feel annoyed and murmured: "Damn it! The power of relying on cavalry crossbow alone is not enough!"
Liu Bei's army rushed to the shore with the arrows that his opponent kept shooting. Then the officers and soldiers jumped into the shallow water area, but did not charge forward immediately. They lined up a tight shield curtain in the water with shields, and then went to the shore! Ailang's eyes lit up, he raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji and waved it forward, shouting: "Charge!"
The sound of war drums suddenly turned loudly, and the Qin cavalry shouted and ran out and rushed towards the shield of Liu Bei's army in front of him! Seeing this scene, the Qin army planned to destroy the Liu Bei army that had landed in advance!
