Chapter 1426 Fraud(2/2)
"Transfer the order, after setting up the pontoon bridge, retreat to the north shore overnight."
Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but be surprised:
"General, we are just over the river?"
In the eyes of the personal guards, this time they were just caught off guard. Even so, the thief could not get much advantage.
As long as you build a floating bridge and dig a ravine at the same time, why not be afraid of the thieves coming again?
Zhang Bao shook his head:
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"This ambush has already shown that the thieves are prepared. The Southern Army is a cavalry, and letting the cavalry dismount to fight the thieves. What is the difference between abandoning the sword and holding an air sheath to face the enemy? It is not done by the general."
The advantage of cavalry is to use maneuvers to drag down the enemy, rather than standing there to fight against the enemy head-on.
I have made a mistake once, and I can't make another mistake again for the sake of my will.
On the second day, Guo Huai couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he learned that Zhang Bao had led his army back to the north shore and even took the initiative to cut off the floating bridge:
"Ah? The Zhang family's children can actually bear this tone?"
In the battle yesterday, if I said I didn’t take advantage of it, it would be a lie.
However, when the Han army was ambushed, it would be fine if it would not retreat. It could also fight back in an organized manner, causing certain casualties to its own side, and it is indeed known as the elite.
With the ideas of ordinary people and the style of the Han army, since they can fight back and forth in that situation, if they are prepared, how could they be afraid of themselves?
Therefore, if it were others, they might step up their troops to avenge a single arrow.
Unexpectedly, I just said yesterday that the Zhang family child was as impatient as his father, and today he would take the initiative to withdraw his troops.
It's really surprising.
"General, what should we do now?"
Guo Huai looked at the other side. Although the Han army was defeated and retreated back to the north bank, they did not leave immediately, and there seemed to be signs of being unable to go.
Obviously, the other party also knew the importance of Liang Qijin.
It is even possible that he wants to threaten the Taifu's retreat by controlling the ferry.
Otherwise, I would not have been so aggressive yesterday. I wanted to set up camp on the south bank overnight, so I suffered a loss.
Guo Huai smiled faintly: "It's okay, if he wants to stay and not leave, it depends on whether he has the ability."
Yecheng, Sanhujin and Liangqijin can all cross the river.
From east to west, it is sixty miles away.
The Han army came from afar and was fighting away again, so they were not familiar with the places.
If Zhang Bao really dared to give up the advantage of the cavalry and defend Liang Qijin to the death, Guo Huai would not mind fighting another battle with the other side.
Guo Huai, who was once the governor of Yongzhou, knew the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry.
The infantry dug deep into the trenches, step by step into camps, form formations and move forward, and with a city to support them, they will not be afraid of cavalry.
On the contrary, if the cavalry voluntarily give up their advantages and defend the ground, it would be a death sentence.
——
"General, Sanhu Tsu seems to have traces of the thief army!"
Zhang Bao, who suffered a loss and tried his best to disperse the scout as much as possible, received a report from the scout the next day.
"Sanhu Tsu to the east?"
When Zhang Bao heard Sanhujin, he felt a little uneasy.
"Where is the other side of Yecheng?"
"It's not clear yet."
"Send someone to investigate immediately!"
If there are indeed bandit troops in Sanhujin, and coupled with the defenders of Yecheng, it means that two groups of bandit troops will appear behind him.
Now I am blocked by Liang Qijin and cannot cross the south...
Zhang Bao stared at Zhangshui. At this moment, his mind might be the fastest revolving in his life:
"Looking at the ambush of the thief on the south bank yesterday, most of them had already prepared. Now there are bandit troops in the east and south. Going westward, it is Taihang Fukou Xing Pass, and there must be heavy troops in the bandit troops..."
In other words, there has been a certain enemy situation on the east and south sides.
The only thing that has not yet been discovered is the north.
“North, north…”
Zhang Bao murmured to himself, and the cold sweat on his forehead began to gradually seep out.
What will be north?
To the north is Guangping County, to the north is Zhao State, and to the north is Zhao State?
Changshan!
Jingxing is located in Changshan County!
"Sima Yi!"
Zhang Bao couldn't help but scream.
Since Guo Huai will ambush on the south bank in advance, it means that Sima Yi must have received the news in advance.
Thinking of the reminder from General Zhendong to him before leaving, Zhang Bao finally realized:
Sima Yi is very likely to have led his army out of Jingxing and rushed to Yecheng - although I don't know how he got rid of his foresighted brother-in-law...
Of course, it is also possible that he has not been able to get rid of it, but after yesterday's battle, Zhang Bao no longer dared to take the lives of the soldiers.
After all, if the thief uses the Zhang River as a gully and limits his cavalry to the coast of the Zhang River.
Then, the Southern Army, which had lost its maneuver, would probably really become the food of the fish and shrimps in the mouths of the thieves, facing the siege of superior forces of the thieves.
He didn't think he could compare to the King of Western Chu.
"Come!"
"General?"
"Send more people immediately and go to the north to investigate! Remember, once the army of thieves is discovered, it must be rewarded as quickly as possible!"
"Here!"
After strengthening the vigilance in the north, Zhang Bao did not hesitate at all and immediately led the main force to turn back.
It takes about twenty miles to reach the cavalry in less than half a day.
When Zhang Bao arrived at Sanhujin, he saw that the outline of the ship was faintly visible in the reed marsh on the opposite shore.
However, the Qianli Mile Mile mirror is not a perspective mirror. With the protection of reeds, Zhang Bao could not tell how many ships were hidden opposite him.
Seeing that there was already a floating bridge bridge on the shallows on the other side, Zhang Bao's face turned pale, put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and ordered:
"Search on the nearby beach to see if there are any stakes."
"Here!"
The soldiers who searched apart and soon found something strange.
Not far from the ferry, there were indeed hidden stakes hidden in advance, and even the ropes were tied up and sunk in the water.
When needed, you can use it immediately as soon as you pull it up.
When Zhang Bao learned about it, his face became even more ugly.
If you guess correctly, the tied rope will not be earlier than last night.
Because yesterday, Guo Huai let water upstream in order to ambush himself.
If you can't swallow your breath yesterday and don't retreat back to the north bank, you have to compete with Guo Huai on the south bank. Once you are entangled, your retreat will become extremely dangerous.
Sanhujin is just a small ferry crossing. The one who can really make the army cross the river is still the Yecheng Crossing.
Yecheng happened to be a place where the Wei army was heavily guarded.
"Let's go! Go back to Yecheng Ferry!"
Since Sima Yi has prepared in advance, his plan to cut off Sima Yi's retreat will be considered a failure.
Instead of going deep into the adventure alone, it is better to retreat and wait for the general of Zhendong to come.
