Chapter 224: Kill Yan Liang! [Subscribe]

"We each take what we need, and the other party relies more on Yanzhou."

Xun You had been traveling all the way and was obviously hungry. After performing the formalities, he sat down next to Cao Cao and started eating quickly.

Cao Cao personally picked out a mackerel for him to blanch.

Xun You bowed slightly at the side of the table, expressing his fear and unwillingness to accept the offer.

But after taking it, he ate it in one bite.

Fresh and tender mackerel with great taste and texture.

"The other party wanted to take advantage of the situation. Zhongde and I contacted them on behalf of Yanzhou and provided support, which they were more than happy to receive."

Xun You was a very cautious person. The more resourceful a person was, the more careful he would be about details.

When Cao Cao heard what he said, he immediately understood what he meant.

It is impossible for people who don’t know the details to identify themselves with the person they are in.

It was not clear what he was saying or who he was referring to.

Xun You was trying to prevent the news from leaking out due to the large number of people involved.

"The governor can use his troops as much as he wants. Zhongde and I have contacted them and made everything very clear. The other side knows roughly how we are going to fight and will not easily go back on our word," Xun You added.

Cao Cao stopped asking.

The personal soldiers have gone to pass the order to Yu Jin, who is leading the troops at the front line, to start raising the troops!
In the big tent, several people were eating and drinking while discussing matters.

After the introduction, Xun You realized that the handsome young man he didn't know was the direct disciple of the contemporary master Zheng Xuan.

After dinner, everyone dispersed.

Only Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cao Ren and Xun You were left in Cao Cao's tent.

"I just received another message from Sun Ce of Jiangdong."

"He agreed to allow his brother Sun Quan to come to Yanzhou for half a year, and asked the governor if he agreed."

Jia Xu: "The wording of Sun Bofu's letter is soft but firm, saying that if the governor does not agree, the previous agreement will be invalid."

"Let him come."

Cao Cao thought that training Sun Zhongmou was a very interesting thing and he couldn't miss it.

"It's going to be very lively tonight over at Yu Jin's place."

"Yes, Zilong is here too."

After the meeting was over, several people left.

Cao Cao took out the marching map and conducted another tactical deduction.

The night is getting darker.

Outside the tent, Yin's huge tiger head poked in, observed for a moment, and then walked in majestically.

The next moment it started to act cute and ran towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that there was blood on this guy's mouth.

It has started hunting for food on its own and comes back to sleep after eating.

Yin stretched out his head and wanted to use Cao Cao's robe to wipe the blood from his mouth.

In the past, Diao Chan would help it wipe the food after eating, and sometimes she would use salt to rinse its mouth and brush its teeth.

Snapped!
The bloody mouth moved close to Cao Cao's sleeve and was slapped in the face by someone.

Yin blinked his eyes with a look of grievance, feeling that he was being bullied. He covered his forehead with his paws and turned back to look for Xu Chu.

Xu Chu didn't mind the dirt and wiped its mouth with the hem of his clothes.

Early November.

The weather is getting colder.

However, the areas where Yanzhou and Jizhou are located did not delay the use of troops.

The roar of the Yellow River was deafening, but it could not cover up the shouts and cries of killing from the shore.

After receiving the order, Yu Jin immediately raised his army.

Because of the advance preparations, the march and military operations were very fast.

At midnight.

Yu Jin led his troops to attack Baimazin.

The Jizhou army had been ashore for several days and was always on high alert, so they immediately discovered the attack from Cao's army.

This battle requires bravery and courage to fight, so Yu Jin should lead the troops.

Yu Jin governed the army with strict laws and regulations, and his name is recorded in history.

The soldiers under his command are all death squads, and they are extremely brave.

Yu Jin rode on his horse and looked at the battlefield.

The Jizhou army's powerful crossbows were greatly weakened in the darkness. The Yanzhou soldiers used the art of concealing their movements, approached, and suddenly engaged the scouts outside the Jizhou army camp, and then began to charge the camp.

The distance was several miles, but under the cavalry's horses, they rushed over in just a few dozen breaths.

The infantry followed the cavalry and pressed forward.

Boom!dong dong!

The drums were deafening.

In night battles, what matters is who has the most rigid military orders and the best commanding officers.

Yu Jin was strict in disciplining his troops in this regard, and his men were able to change their formations by listening to drum signals.

When his troops were fighting, they seldom shouted loudly, because they had to listen to the drum signals and respond to Jin's orders in time.

In addition to the drum signals, each team had at least two flag bearers who were surrounded by the crowd. They were not responsible for fighting, but for listening to the drums and passing on orders to prevent the soldiers from missing the drum signals while concentrating on fighting.

When these flag bearers heard the drum beats, they adjusted the team using the small flags in their hands and shouting at close range.

The entire army must advance and retreat strictly according to the command. Anyone who disobeys the order and moves without authorization will be executed!
If any soldier delays, he will be executed by a team of five.

If the captain of the five men refuses to move forward, the leader of the ten will put him to death.

If the leader of ten men refuses to move forward, he will be executed by the Du Bo, the leader of a hundred men.

From top to bottom, legislation should be strict.

There is no emotion on the battlefield.

The most basic reason why all the iron armies in history have been invincible is that their military orders are as strong as a mountain and their regulations are strict.

When facing the enemy, if the commander finds that the terrain is favorable, he can give three drum signals as an order, have the infantry defend the formation, and the cavalry attack from both wings, charging towards the enemy's flag, changing positions in a crossing manner, always maintaining a diagonal angle, and tearing the enemy formation apart.

The sound of drums was used as a signal to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

During the battle, every step was carried out strictly according to the pre-war training. The entire army was like a sophisticated machine. Orders were passed down layer by layer as easily as using one's arms and fingers. They would conquer all directions and be victorious wherever they attacked!
At present, Jizhou had Qu Yi as the main general, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou as deputy generals.

After landing, the general stationed at Bai Ma was Yan Liang.

He built fortifications along the coast.

When the Yanzhou army attacked, Yan Liang responded calmly and commanded them in a measured manner. However, after the battle began, the night fighting ability of Yu Jin's army in the Yanzhou army, the ability to control the troops and horses by drum signals, the flexibility they showed, and the ability to charge the camp without fear of death, really surprised Yan Liang.

"Report - The Yanzhou army attacked the camp from the left wing. After the battle, the soldiers dispersed and the right wing was also attacked at the same time."

"Report - the focus of the Yanzhou army is on the right wing. They have built a long ladder and have crossed the first pit!"

"Report - Yanjin sent a message that they were also attacked by the Yanzhou army at night!"

Yan Liang came out of the central army camp and looked towards the direction of Yanjin. He vaguely saw a ray of fire in the night and was startled.

The Yanzhou army sent troops to attack Bai Ma where he was, which was just a lie. In fact, the main focus was on attacking Yanjin? !

Yanjin was guarded by Guo Tu, the military supervisor who led the troops that landed along the way.

If the enemy set fire to the camp, how big a fire would have to be in order to be faintly visible from dozens of miles away?

"Cao's army attacked at night and burned Yanjin Ferry. They used such ruthless tactics!"

Yan Liang shouted: "Yanzhou's attack on our Baima camp is fake, but the real purpose is to attack Yanjin.

Quickly dispatch the cavalry and follow me to Yanjin. The two armies will join forces to encircle and kill Cao's army!"

The deputy general immediately went down to mobilize troops.

After they landed in Yanzhou, they were ready to fight at any time and remained in their armor.

The troops gathered quickly.

Yan Liang led the team personally, left his deputy general to guard the camp, and led his troops out of the camp overnight, rapidly approaching the direction of Yanjin.

Yan Liang led his troops in a hurry, extremely anxious.

But after he had traveled more than ten miles, he suddenly stopped and reined in his horse.

In the open space ahead, I saw a huge fire blazing in the night, rising into the sky.

It wasn’t the fire in Yanjin at all.

Instead, Cao's army started a fire in an open space halfway along the road.

Looking from the direction of Baima Camp, I thought it was Yanjin, but it was not.

Someone deliberately set the fire, causing Yan Liang to misjudge that Yanjin was on fire, and the situation was urgent.

You must know that after the war begins, the scouts will gather their formation and keep an eye on the enemy to prevent being surrounded by the enemy's reinforcements or ambushes.

If the situation becomes urgent, scouts will also join the battle.

At the moment, all parties were fighting, and there was no scout to discover the fire between Bai Ma and Yanjin and report it to Yan Liang in time.

Of course, Yeonjin was indeed under attack.

There was fighting on both battlefields and the situation was chaotic.

Yan Liang's first reaction after receiving the news was that the Yanjin fire was urgent.

He led his troops out of the camp and saw the fire halfway, then he realized that he had fallen into a trap.

What is the other party's purpose in using this strategy? To transfer his troops away from the Baima Camp?
In other words, the real target of attack is still Bai Ma?
Yan Liang quickly turned his horse's head and said, "All troops, follow me back..."

As he was turning around, he heard an alarm from the scouts scattered around the periphery.

The sound of the bowstring vibrating was as sudden as a rainstorm.

Cao's army transferred him out of the camp, and attacking Bai Ma was just one of the purposes.

Another purpose was to kill the enemy general Yan Liang and inflict a severe blow to the Jizhou army.

Under the cover of night, the one who led the troops to charge out was Zhao Yun, who everyone thought was in Hanoi.

He was wearing shiny silver armor and a white robe.

The Jade Lion of Zhaoye suddenly accelerated.

Zhao Yun's eyes were as cold as lightning, and he stared at Yan Liang to death from a distance.

The big fire not far away illuminated the enemy and ourselves!

Cao's army was ambushed on the side, and the opportunity to attack was when Yan Liang realized that he had been tricked and turned his horse around. His entire army was blocked from the flank by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Zhao Yun in the most unfavorable formation.

hum!
Zhao Yun pulled out a short spear from the side of his horse and threw it into the air.

The shot was as fast as thunder and lightning.

The spear was thrown out by Zhao Yun and appeared in front of Yan Liang's chest in the next moment with almost no time delay.

If it were someone else, this shot from the air would be enough to take his life.

However, Yan Liang was also very powerful.

Under such rapid force of the spear, he held down the horse's back with one hand, turned sideways, and let the spear fly past his side!
On the opposite side, Zhao Yun held the Chao Feng Spear upside down, with murderous intent in his eyes, and charged straight into the enemy formation.

Yan Liang had just dodged the spear from a distance when Zhao Yun's fast horse Zhaoye was already approaching.

Zhao Yun's Chaofeng Spear stabbed out with a shot that seemed slow but was actually fast.

The tip of the spear was straight, and as soon as it was thrust out, a thunderous sound rang in Yan Liang's ears.

Yan Liang dodged the spear and lost the initiative.

This shot was even more mysterious, containing an invincible spirit that could pierce the universe.

Yan Liang shouted loudly, raised his sword, and tried his best to hit the tip of Zhao Yun's spear.

However, at the moment when he touched the spear tip, it split into two, and another spear tip jumped out of thin air and pierced his forehead. The force of the spear was as unpredictable as a wild horse running in the sky, like the traces of a bird or a fish.

Yan Liang completely lost his ability to accurately judge the trajectory of the spear tip.

Clang!

The two sides passed each other by!

The long sword in Yan Liang's hand slipped out, a crack appeared between his eyebrows, and he slowly fell down, and was stabbed off his horse by Zhao Yun.

The accompanying Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers dismounted, cut off Yan Liang's head, and tied it to the side of the horse.

Zhao Yun rushed straight into the enemy camp, stabbed with his spear, and killed several people in a row.

Guan Yu, who followed Liu Bei in Liyang, inexplicably felt that his luck had been taken away.

In history, he was the one who killed Yan Liang with a few moves amidst thousands of troops...

Cao's army launched a surprise attack on Bai Ma and Yanjin. After Zhao Yun killed Yan Liang, Yu Jin also attacked the Bai Ma camp.

But the fighting only lasted until the early morning. Yu Jin waved his hand and the war drums sounded six times, sending a signal for a quick evacuation.

The soldiers under his command came and went like the wind. They retreated as soon as they heard the drum sound and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

As soon as Yu Jin's troops left, another group of troops came from the flank of Baimajin, but it was the Jizhou army that reacted very quickly. After receiving the report, Qu Yi knew that Cao's army had attacked the camp, so he sent Wen Chou to lead troops to help.

If the Jizhou army came first and surrounded Yu Jin's troops in the camp, the result would be completely different.

The difference between victory and defeat is just a matter of millimeters.

Twilight.

Qu Yi personally rode his horse to the devastated Baima Camp and shouted angrily: "Push the entire army forward. Starting today, we will charge into Yanzhou!"
