Chapter 709 Offer the Head
In the war room, discussions continued.
Jia Xu laughed and said, "Your Majesty wants Liu Bei to attack, and Guan Yu is a good breakthrough."
After hearing this, Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up.
Isn't that right, Guan and Zhang are Liu Bei's fate. Liu Bei is still very affectionate and loyal to these two brothers. Once something happens to Guan Yu, Ouyang Shuo does not believe that Liu Bei can hold back.
"Then, tomorrow's battle, you all need to plan carefully." Ouyang Shuo issued a military order.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Zheng He took the opportunity to introduce the battle plan he discussed with Jia Xu, which was approved by Ouyang Shuo. After a little leaning, the two said goodbye and left, making final preparations for tomorrow's battle.
*************
Yunmeng Daze.
When Ouyang Shuo was about to kill Huang Gai, Zhou Yu's army was only one day away from Jiangling City. A long-planned war is about to take place, and it may even reverse the entire battle in Chibi.
In the final analysis, Jiangling was the main battlefield of the Battle of Chibi, where more than 90% of the troops from both sides had been assembled. The success or failure of this battle is largely related to the success or failure of the entire battle.
After receiving the information, the atmosphere in Jiangling City became tense.
Cao Cao personally sat in Jiangling, and Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Cao Chun, Wen Pin and other generals took their positions one by one, each guarding one side. The more than 200,000 foreign troops in Cao Cao's camp have also received military orders and all of them have entered Jiangling City.
The entire Jiangling City was transformed into a huge military camp in an instant. The food and grass urgently collected from all over Jingzhou were transported to Jiangling City day and night for the army to consume.
After receiving the news of the annihilation of Lu Su's army, Cao Cao regained his ambition and determined to fight against Sun Liu's coalition forces in Jiangling.
After a few days of recuperation, coupled with the encouragement of the navy's victory, the morale of Cao's army has rebounded.
Therefore, Cao Cao has full confidence in this battle.
...
In Jiangling City, the Alien Legion is stationed.
Inside the camp, Caiyun Zhinan suppressed his excitement, and said with a smile: "Zifang is really a god, and he can predict things like a god. We will act according to your plan, and Cao Ren really agreed."
Seeing Zhang Liang on the opposite side, he smiled without saying a word.
Seeing his lord so excited, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.
"Persisting on the small way is not the appearance of a king!" Zhang Liang sighed in his heart.
Caiyun Zhinan, who was still excited, didn't notice the strangeness of his top counselor at all, and was immersed in the fantasy of victory: "This time, [Shanhai League] must fall."
*************
On the thirteenth day of the battle, the Chibi of the Yangtze River was a natural danger.
A huge fleet is sailing on the river, stretching for several miles. On the battleship, there are huge military flags hanging one after another. The first half is hung with the word "yellow", while the rear is hung with the word "guan".
This fleet is the coalition of Huang Gai and Guan Yu.
According to Liu Bei's instructions, Guan Yu led four thousand sailors as the vanguard. The army hurried and hurried, and finally joined Huang Gai's army before reaching Chibi.
It's a pity that after the previous conflict, Huang Gai was not interested in Guan Yu's arrival.
Guan Yu is also an unruly person, and he didn't want to send troops this time, but Liu Bei forced him to go. Seeing Huang Gai's attitude, Guan Yu became even more unhappy.
The army did not reorganize with Huang Gai's army, but led the army to follow behind.
There was a distance of thousands of meters between the two armies.
As Chimazhou detected, Huang Gai didn't know that Chibi had changed hands at this time. The army arrived at the waterway in front of Chibi and continued to move forward without stopping.
All the way to the Chibi River, there was no sign of a warship.
Huang Gai was not surprised by this.
Both Huang Gai and Lu Su knew the ambush tactics formulated by the [Yanhuang League]. Therefore, when Huang Gai saw that the Wulin Water Village was still so dilapidated, he didn't think about it at all.
Especially along the way, not even a warship for interrogation was encountered.
This is just one part of the plan, the purpose is not to attract the attention of Cao Cao's army.
After entering Chibi, Huang Gai stood on the deck and said with a smile: "Finally, we've arrived! Beat the drum to inform the Alien Legion that we have arrived for reinforcements. Hurry up and open the gate of the water village."
"No!" The orderly turned and left.
During the whole process, only the siege lion standing beside Huang Gai had a strange expression.
Sometimes, too normal is not normal.
Having been with Ouyang Shuo for a long time, Siege Lion knows a thing or two about this elder brother's temperament. Ouyang Shuo likes to make decisions before acting, and never fights uncertain battles.
The siege lion was startled by not seeing the Shanhai City fleet all the way. When he saw the strangeness of Chibi, the uneasiness in the heart of the siege lion became more and more intense.
Just out of some considerations, the siege lion didn't tell Huang Gai his worries.
When the gates of the water villages were opened and a large number of warships sailed out from the two water villages of Wulin and Chibi, the siege lions were almost certain that they had fallen for it.
Although the high-end warships in the entire China region are all from Shanhaicheng Shipyard, and they look the same, the siege lion has a strong premonition that the opponent must be the Shanhaicheng fleet.
The fleets on both sides sailed out of the water stronghold one by one, and lined up on the river. In an instant, they sandwiched the coalition forces of Huang Gai and Guan Yu on the river.
"Does such a grand welcome ceremony be necessary?" Huang Gai was a little puzzled, and out of the general's intuition, he also smelled something unusual at this time.
It's a pity it's too late!
On the warships on both sides, dazzling golden dragon flags were erected in unison, fluttering in the wind on the river. The shouts sounded simultaneously: "People on the opposite side listen, you are surrounded, surrender quickly!"
"not good!"
Huang Gai's face turned extremely ugly.
"Attack, attack quickly!" Huang Gai was brave and never thought of surrendering.
The archers reacted quickly, hurriedly took out their bows and arrows, and attacked the battleships on both sides. Unfortunately, all this is doomed to be in vain.
As soon as the arrow rain rose, the artillery on both sides fired together.
At such a short distance, Huang Gai and Guan Yu's army was flanked by left and right again, without any room for strategic maneuvering, and were aimed at by countless black muzzles. The fleet suffered heavy losses in the first round of artillery alone.
Under Zheng He's command, only two flagships remained intact.
This round of shelling directly blinded Huang Gai, and he felt a chill in his heart. Huang Gai finally knew why the mighty Lu Su army was wiped out.
"Listen to the people on the opposite side, surrender quickly, or don't blame the ruthless artillery fire!" The shouting continued.
After a round of artillery baptism, the weight of this call is extraordinarily heavy.
There was a commotion immediately between Huang Gai's army and Guan Yu's army. The soldiers are not fools. They have already seen that there is no chance of winning this battle at all. If they carry on, they will only die.
At this moment, whether to surrender or not, Huang Gai and Guan Yu could no longer control themselves. Even if they disagree, the soldiers will surrender themselves. Maybe the two of them will be tied up and used to claim credit.
Huang Gai's face was pale, and his heart was ashamed.
Guan Yu's jujube-like face became more and more red from holding back, as if it had been ironed.
There were no surprises in the ensuing battle.
After some small twists and turns, the two armies all surrendered and were easily captured by the Shanhaicheng fleet.
The whole process took no more than an hour.
Without a doubt, this was the easiest battle in Shanhai City. Only blame, Huang Gai and the others were too careless.
*************
On the top deck of the Dragon Head.
Huang Gai, Guan Yu and others were escorted here by Shenwuwei and handed over to the emperor.
Among the crowd, there are also siege lions.
The two were originally allies, but at this time they were reduced to prisoners. Even with the open-mindedness of siege lions, they were a little ashamed. Ouyang Shuo was understanding, he didn't say anything, he arranged for someone to send the siege lion down to rest.
Then, Ouyang Shuo looked at Guan Yu.
When Suo captured Guan Yu, he lost more than 50 Shenwu guards.
Anyway, Guan Yu is also a first-class fierce general with extraordinary combat power.
In order to avoid greater casualties, Shenwuwei had to use the divine arm crossbow to subdue Guan Yu. Therefore, at this time, Guan Yu's body was covered with colors, and there were no fewer than five arrows alone.
Just like that, Guan Yu didn't even frown.
Although this person is headstrong and conceited, he also has the capital of conceit. Just for this, Guan Yu can be regarded as a hero. It's just that a good man is not the same as a good general in many cases.
"Guan Yu, are you willing to surrender?" Ouyang Shuo looked directly at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu raised his head, his eyes were filled with murderous aura, matching with his blood, it was really terrifying. If a scribe stood in front of Guan Yu, he might not even be able to stand firmly.
It's a pity, who is Ouyang Shuo, who has fought countless battles, and has never seen any wind and rain. Therefore, Guan Yu's murderous aura had no effect on Ouyang Shuo, and his expression was as calm as pity.
Guan Yu was also a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He glanced at Ouyang Shuo, as if he didn't bother to answer Ouyang Shuo's question, "Bah!", and turned his head to spit out a mouthful of phlegm, with an unruly expression.
"Bold!"
Shenwuwei immediately became furious and put the knife on Guan Yu's neck.
"Hmph!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, not caring at all about the Tang Dao on his neck, and said sternly, "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. If you want me to surrender, just dream!"
"Okay, you have backbone!" Ouyang Shuo smiled and applauded, and the next second, his expression turned cold, and he said indifferently: "In that case, let's drag it down and chop it off!"
The speed of this face-changing is no one else.
"promise!"
The Shenwuwei had long disliked Guan Yu, how many brothers they lost in order to capture him.
"Hmph!" Guan Yu snorted again.
The careful Ouyang Shuo noticed that the fingers of Guan Yu's right hand trembled unconsciously.
Ouyang Shuo smiled inwardly. Looking at it this way, Guan Yu is not really not afraid of death at all. If Guan Yu thought that he would treat him with courtesy like Cao Cao, he would be very wrong.
With a slight tilt, Guan Yu's head was put into a wooden box and sent back to the deck.
Ouyang Shuo saw him, and said to Zheng He, "Arrange someone to send Guan Yu's head to Liu Bei's army."
"clear!"
Seeing this head, Liu Bei should be furious.
Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn't help being shocked by Ouyang Shuo's decisive attack. That was Guan Yu, the famous existence in the Three Kingdoms, he would kill him as soon as he said he wanted to, without blinking his eyes.
