Chapter 812: Wudang Flying Army
/
A camp in Nanman was trampled to pieces by Guan Yu's cavalry, sending pieces of wood flying.
Guan Yu dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Saber and led 500 sabers and axes to capture this place easily.
Guan Yu went on a rampage all the way, and there was no one invincible.
"General, we are getting closer and closer to the main force of the Nanban army."
A scout cavalry came back to report to Guan Yu.
What Guan Yu has conquered so far is only the frontier fortress in the Nanman area, and the army assembled by Mu Ke is approaching Guan Yu's army as the vanguard.
"Brother told me not to underestimate her, let's test her strength for now!"
Guan Yu heard that Mu Ke's troops were coming, so he personally led the cavalry to meet Mu Ke.
In the mountains and forests of the Nanman area, the scout cavalry sent by Guan Yu carefully explored.
This is the territory of the Southern Barbarian Army. Mu Ke, who is in command of the Southern Barbarian Army, is a player, and his thinking is different from that of Meng Huo and other brave and foolish men.
Moreover, it is said that the soldiers and horses of the Protectorate of the Western Regions entered the customs. No one knows whether Huo An came to Nanman and how many troops he brought.
A poisonous arrow shot out from the woods silently and hit the scout cavalry in the throat.
The poison smeared on the arrow blade entered the blood, coupled with excessive blood loss, the scout cavalry was killed immediately and fell from the horse's back.
In the woods, the branches and leaves rustled.
Not only this scout cavalry, but other scout cavalry were also attacked by an unknown tribe and were killed one after another.
"General, out of the twenty-seven scattered scout cavalry, only seven came back alive!"
Guan Yu led the cavalry to march, and the scouts in front sent back news that was not good for him.
The scout cavalry was killed. Obviously, Mu Ke's scouts had also arrived, and her main force was not far from here.
However, because the scout cavalry were shot one after another, Guan Yujun lost his sight and was quite dangerous.
"Send more scouts, grab your tongue and come back to ask."
Guan Yu can lead an army alone, his own ability is not weak, and he did not rush forward easily.
His premonition of danger allowed Guan Yu to escape.
Guan Yu sent a hundred scout cavalry to scout around.
The scouts are the eyes and ears of the legion. When the scouts of the two sides meet, a small-scale fight will break out.
"General, out of a hundred people, only seventeen are alive, less than half an hour has passed..."
A small school under Guan Yu's command involuntarily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
A large number of scout cavalry were killed. Is the opponent really just a scout sent by Mu Ke?
Guan Yu looked around at the terrain, and found that the Nanman region had dangerous mountain passes and lush trees, and there were countless places suitable for ambushes.
"The southern barbarian troops are like fish in water in the mountains and forests. I'm afraid Mu Ke's main force has arrived, so retreat quickly!"
Guan Yu lost most of his vision, and this strange mountain forest was quite dangerous for him.
Guan Yu's cavalry began to withdraw to the north according to Guan Yu's order.
The originally quiet mountain forest suddenly disturbed countless birds, just like a large number of soldiers and horses mobilized in the dense forest!
Thousands of arrows were shot from the woods, reaping the lives of the Yizhou cavalry!
The cavalry fell off their horses one by one, the horses panicked and lost control, and the faces of the cavalry on the horses were pale.
For the infantry of the Nanman, fighting in the mountains and forests has additional combat strength, while the cavalry brought by Guan Yu is restricted.
Guan Yu swung his knife to hit the rain of arrows flying, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife easily cut off the arrows.
"This arrow is poisonous."
Guan Yu saw an arrow cluster coated with venom, and knew that the Nanman archers were terrible.
Being shot by a poisoned arrow, there is a high probability of death.
Moreover, it was not ordinary Nanman infantry who attacked Guan Yu.
This Nanman infantry quickly harvested the scout cavalry sent by Guan Yu, then approached Guan Yu, and quickly launched an attack. It was definitely the elite of the Nanman infantry!
Their archery skills are also quite accurate.
After Guan Yu led 500 sabers and axes, the other cavalry were shaken by the attack. Guan Yu asked them to retreat in order to revive the morale of the army.
"Wait for me to capture a prisoner alive and find out their origin!"
Guan Yu found that hundreds of cavalry were shot and killed by the opponent, and the opponent was hiding in the dense forest. He couldn't help being annoyed, so he single-handedly entered the dense forest.
The Nanman infantry in the dense forest did not expect Guan Yu to dare to kill him alone. They were caught off guard, and Guan Yu cut down six of them, and Guan Yu left after mentioning one of them.
"Liu Bei's vanguard general should be Guan Yu, he is really a brave general."
Qin Liangyu was ordered to lead the Wudang Flying Army to attack Guan Yu, and won the first victory by virtue of his home court advantage.
However, Guan Yu retreated in time without any injury.
If the opponent was an ordinary military general, maybe Qin Liangyu would follow up and attack directly, and he could be wiped out, but unfortunately the opponent was Guan Yu.
If you go directly to the battle, you may be defeated by Guan Yu.
Qin Liangyu adopted a guerrilla tactic that was conservative but enough to cause headaches for countless famous generals.
For Wudang Feijun, the mountains and forests are like walking on flat ground.
The main force of Liu Bei, Wang Meng, and Chen Xi was fifty miles behind Guan Yu's army.
When Liu Bei's army came to join Guan Yu, Guan Yu brought the captured Wudangfei soldiers.
"This person belongs to the elite Wudang flying army of the Southern Barbarians. They used poisonous arrows and shot and killed more than 400 of my cavalry. Even my most elite swordsman and axeman suffered casualties. Brother, I underestimated it. The strength of the Southern Barbarians."
Guan Yu explained to Liu Bei the attack.
"The Wudang Flying Army may be Mu Ke's special unit. This is the most elite infantry in the Nanman area."
As a player, Chen Xi knew that the player lord had a chance to obtain special units.
For example, Chutian had the Huben Army and the Five Northern Army Schools, Lao Qin had the Sanhe Cavalry and the Northern Army Five Schools, Mingguan had the Han Army Eight Banners, and so on.
The Wudang Flying Army is an elite army established after Zhuge Liang pacified the Nanman, and the general is Wang Ping.
Then, Mu Ke can recruit the Wudang Flying Army now, so there is only one possibility, that is, Mu Ke got the Wudang Flying Army as his special unit.
"Wudang Feijun... even the second brother is suffering from Wudang Feijun, so what should we do, two military advisers?"
Liu Bei could only ask Wang Meng and Chen Xi for advice.
Wang Meng replied: "General Guan's defeat was not a crime of war, it was nothing more than a flying army occupying a convenient terrain and attacking General Guan. If they fought head-on, General Guan could easily defeat him."
Wang Meng's simple words made Guan Yu raise his eyebrows, and his attitude towards Wang Meng changed.
"Pay attention to deep mountains and canyons, these dangerous places are the easiest to ambush soldiers and horses. In addition, capture a few natives as guides. They are familiar with the terrain of this place and know where to ambush soldiers and horses. Furthermore, spread scouts widely, divide the troops and march all the way Soldiers and horses are besieged, and the other two lines cooperate with each other, and if necessary, turn around and counter-encircle the ambushes, which can force back the Wudang flying army."
After Wang Meng praised Guan Yu, he explained to Liu Bei how to break the guerrilla tactics of Wudang Flying Army.
"Second brother and third brother each led a troop, and the military division and I personally led a troop. We divided up and marched side by side."
Liu Bei still reused Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as his left arm and right arm, and the two groups of soldiers and horses cooperated with each other while being relatively close to each other.
When Wudang Feijun attacked one route of soldiers and horses, the other two groups of soldiers and horses would encircle immediately when they heard the news.
Liu Bei's goal is to go straight to Huanglong and capture Dianchi, Mu Ke's main city.
But even with such a deployment, Wudang Feijun still appeared from time to time, attacking Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were located on the periphery.
Zhang Fei soon felt Guan Yu's pain. Just as Zhang Fei's army was camping, Wudang's flying army suddenly rushed out from the forest on one side. The scouts deployed by Zhang Fei were quickly overwhelmed by Wudang's flying army. Zhang Fei's camp, with highly poisonous arrows landed less than three meters away from Zhang Fei.
Furious, Zhang Fei put on armor and went into battle, holding a zhangba snake spear, and wanted to fight to the death with Qin Liangyu, who replaced Mu Ke as the commander of the Wudang Flying Army.
But Qin Liangyu never confronted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei head-on. After killing hundreds of Zhang Fei's army, he fled into the mountains again.
"Will the barbarian dare to come out and fight my Yanren Zhang Fei!"
Zhang Fei roared, and the sound shook the mountains and forests.
However, Qin Liangyu did not respond.
She knew that she was no match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
The military strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is an enemy of ten thousand people, second only to the first few generals.
Their legions are not weak either.
Zhang Fei also has eighteen Yanqi.
The forest was silent.
Wu Han, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, who was appointed by Liu Bei as Zhang Fei's deputy to assist Zhang Fei in the battle, made a judgment based on the movement in the mountains and forests: "General Yide, Wudang Feijun may have fled far away."
"It's really hateful!"
Facing the elusive Wudang Feijun, Zhang Fei was furious.
"General calm down, Wudang Flying Army must be afraid of the general's force, so they dare not fight the general head-on."
The other two ministries will try to comfort the chief general.
Zhang Fei glared at the two generals, one named Fan Jiang and the other named Zhang Da.
The two generals were stared at by Zhang Fei, but they regretted talking too much.
Except for Liu Bei's army in the middle because of the protection of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on both sides, Guan Yu's and Zhang Fei's armies were all attacked by Wudang Fei's army.
Wudang Flying Army doesn't love to fight, every time they only capture hundreds of people, they retreat completely.
"Jing Lue, your suggestion to divide the army into three groups is probably not to sacrifice Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops to protect the lord's army and take Yizhou County directly."
Chen Xi pondered on the way, Wang Meng's arrangement did not significantly reduce the number of times Wudang Feijun attacked the Yizhou Army, and only Liu Bei of the Central Army was the safe side. Correspondingly, the troops of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei continued to reduce their numbers because they were not attacking by the flying army.
"If you want to put down the Nanman, you need to pay a certain price if necessary. If there are no generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to attract the attention of Wudang Flying Army, the army has been delayed, and I am afraid that it will soon run out of food and grass."
Seeing that Chen Xi saw through his arrangement, Wang Meng spoke out.
