Chapter 889: Crossing the River


Yecheng.

The three brothers, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, got together to discuss how to deal with the current predicament in Hebei.

"Two brothers, Wu Shun brazenly launched an attack, and the land of Hebei is in danger, and I propose to jointly send troops to fight against the Wuling army," Yuan Shang said.

As Yuan Shao's favorite son, Yuan Shang's soft power is relatively strong, and most of Yuan Shao's subordinates followed him in the past.

"Third brother, the Wuling Army is suddenly attacking, so naturally we have to send troops to kill back, but it is appropriate for each of us to send troops."

Yuan Xi asked.

With the support of the big businessman Mi Zhu, his strength is generally stronger than that of the two brothers, the largest number of troops, and his speech is relatively tough.

His territory is mainly in the Youzhou area.

Under the influence of Mi Zhu, he has a good impression of Wuling Army.

"The elite of the Wuling Army is exhausted, and at this time, the second brother still wants to preserve his strength," Yuan Shang sneered.

Yuan Tan, who he has beaten over the years, just can't take advantage of Yuan Xi at all, which makes him very unhappy.

Now Yuan Xi also asked him how many troops each sent The Wuling army is about to invade Hebei in a big way, and preserving its strength is tantamount to self-destruction, and Yuan Shang's anger is understandable.

"Second brother, I suggest that you put aside the previous unhappiness and go all out to fight the Wuling Army back to the south of the Yellow River, and recapture Guandu."

Yuan Tan got up and said.

Yuan Tan's impression of the Wuling Army is not very good.

However, he may be a little too confident in his judgment of the strength of their three brothers.

He was ready to repel the Wuling army and recapture Guandu The idea is good, but what the actual situation is, you still need to actually fight to know.

Regarding Yuan Tan's statement, Yuan Shang remained silent, and the three brothers should have worked together to resist foreign enemies.

However, for Yuan Xi, things are not so simple, he is the second brother, and he belongs to the kind of existence that is angry at both ends.

When Yuan Shao was in control of Hebei, he did not pay as much attention to him as his eldest son Yuan Tan.

If the three of them do their best, he Yuan Xi will suffer.

The strength of the three brothers, he has the most, and he will not send them all, Youzhou still has to be defended, that is his lair.

"In this way, each person will send 30,000 elite soldiers to the front line of Muye to fight against the Wuling army."

Yuan Xidao.

"Yes," Yuan Shang said.

"Okay, that's it," Yuan Tan said.

"Then, immediately prepare to send troops and jointly defend Hebei," Yuan Xi said.

In his heart, Hebei can fight no matter what, after all, it is his own business, but Wu Shun wants to get involved, and he is not happy.

At this time, it is undoubtedly the most correct choice to be consistent with the outside world The trio's advisors would love to see such an outcome.

In the end, no matter who Yuan Tan and the three of them are the lords of Hebei, as long as Wu Shun is driven away, their interests will not be greatly lost.

After the three brothers of the Yuan family reached an agreement, they sent troops as soon as possible, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were more active because they had to face the Wuling army, and Yuan Xi's army did not delay for long, and finally rushed to the Muye area.

The 90,000 elite army wants to hold Hebei, no matter how you look at it, it is a little weak.

When the Yuan brothers set up their position, Wu Shun was still worried.

Everything was thought of before the Northern Expedition, but the only thing to cross the river was not pre-arranged On the 15th, they arrived at Guandu, and on the 20th, the number of ferries required by the army did not meet the requirements.

Very anxious But Wu Shun knew that now he could only wait Fortunately, the remaining forces in Hebei are not very strong, according to Wu Shun's imagination, the army crossed the river and entered Hebei, directly pushing all the way.

In Wu Shun's eyes, the three brothers of Yuan Tan are not the kind that is difficult to deal with.

"King, General Zhang Xiu sent someone to report that the number of ferries has been collected enough."

Qu A came to report.

"Very good, the ferry is in place, and the army can prepare to cross the river, and the location for crossing the river has been chosen," Wu Shun asked.

"Your Majesty, the place to cross the river, one is the shallows behind the official crossing, and the other is the black nest," Xu Shu said.

"Yuan Zhi, the ferry is already in place, when can we start crossing the river?"

asked Wu Shun.

In this Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang was still the commander of the rear of the army, and all the other military ministers went out with the army.

Pang Tong followed Dongfang Qiang and was rushing to Guandu.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, the minister thinks that the day when the Suzaku Legion arrives will be the time when our army crosses the river."

Xu Shu said.

The Vermilion Bird Legion has extremely strong long-range strike capabilities, and with them as the vanguard of crossing the river, the Yuan army in Hebei is powerless to resist "Okay, Dongfang should arrive in a day or two, since we have waited for so long, then wait for another two days."

Wu Shun said.

Xu Shu said so, and Wu Shun knew that he couldn't be in a hurry.

Now Cao Cao and Sun Quan's armies are frequently mobilized, but they have not yet had friction with the Wuling army, and have no impact on the plans of the Wuling army.

Before the Northern Expedition, a plan was formulated for a similar situation, and the movement of the Wuling Army and the direction of each army corps were carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.

On 17 August, the Suzaku Legion arrived at Guandu on time, and the enthusiasm of the officers and men of the Wuling Army was unprecedentedly high, and a great battle was about to break out On the 18th, the two major corps of the Wuling Army began to cross the river, and the Vermilion Bird Legion crossed the river from Guandu to the north, and the White Tiger Legion crossed the river from Wuchao On the ferry of the Suzaku Legion, there are all crossbowmen in front, and the larger ferry boat is also equipped with Puyuan cannons.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the opposite side was directly earth-shattering, and the Yuan army's formation was bombed miserably.

Pu Yuan cannons, giant crossbows, and archers fired volleys, striking from far, middle and near three layers, and the archers of the Yuan army couldn't touch the Vermilion Bird Legion at all, so they were blown away.

The power of the artillery and rocket arrows was remarkable, and the Suzaku Legion reached the opposite bank safely, and after building a defensive position, the other legions began to meet, followed by ordnance and food.

The White Tiger Legion crossed the river from Wuchao and suffered fierce resistance from Yuan Tan, but Zhang Xiong and Huang Zhong arranged for the White Tiger Battalion to be the vanguard, as long as the ferry was fine, the soldiers on the boat would be fine, and after reaching the opposite bank, the White Tiger Battalion rushed to kill the Yuan army's battle array.

Two thousand heavy infantry, a group of iron lumps with swords that were difficult to hurt rushed over like this, the oppressive force was extremely strong, and they dragged the attack of Yuan's army.

It provided a time guarantee for the landing of the beast cavalry.

"Warriors of the beast cavalry, now is the time to show the world your terrifying strength, kill it, and make your enemies fearful" After Mulu went ashore from the ferry, he directly ordered the beast cavalry to attack With a beast roar, the beast cavalry dispatched The White Tiger Battalion of 2,000 people had already caused confusion among Yuan Tan's soldiers, and the sudden addition of five hundred beast cavalry caused panic among Yuan's soldiers Someone rode a tiger to kill him, and 500 tigers ran wildly together, and this kind of scene made people's legs numb just by looking at it The power of the king of beasts is not something that ordinary people can resist.

"Big Worm" "There are demon soldiers in the Wuling Army" When the soldiers of Yuan saw the beast cavalry running, they were first shocked, and then they wanted to run, in front of the five hundred beast cavalry, what they thought of was not to attack, but to escape:
