Chapter 901 (2/2)
”Yide, you must not act rashly. You must protect your elder brother, you know?” Guan Yu is worried about Zhang Feidao.
Zhang Fei clapped his chest and assured him, ”don't worry, second brother. I'm here.”
So Liu Bei divided 30000 troops into two. Guan Yu led 10000 troops and headed for the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led 20000 troops and came towards the Huaihe River in the established direction.
...
”general yuanrang, after the accurate investigation of our scouts, the enemy should appear in this river immediately, and our army can make arrangements earlier.” Han Hao on one side said to Xia Houdun.
”Well, this time it was Liu Bei who dared to cross the river. He would have to give him to the prime minister!” XiahouDun laughed.
After all, this is Jiujiang county. The Scouts of Cao's army had already occupied the geographical advantage and were familiar with the local terrain. Therefore, although they did not know Liu Bei's movements like the palm of his hand, they were basically certain.
XiahouDun and Han Hao, led by Xiahou Dun and Han Hao, quietly stationed on the East Bank of huaishui River in a tight formation, waiting for the arrival of Liu Bei's army.
After about three quarters of an hour, the land on the West Bank of the huaishui river suddenly made a sound of shaking, and then countless dense heads appeared in the sight of XiahouDun.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei rode together and slowly came to the West Bank of Huaihe River.
”As expected, as long Yun said, the enemy troops are already waiting for our army on the East Bank of huaishui river.” Liu Bei sighed.Zhang Fei said with a smile: ”when the second elder brother goes around behind them, I must give this XiahouDun a little bit of a good taste.”
Liu Bei did not answer, but ordered: ”the whole army to stop!”
Boom!
The 20000 army immediately stopped and stopped moving. Instead, they crossed the river with Cao's army and stopped moving.
”Liu Bei is cunning and doesn't cross the river.” Xia Hou Dun laughed: ”in this case, we will spend so much time with the enemy. Let's see how long Liu Bei's army can last!”
Liu Bei's army is on the offensive side, so it is difficult to supply food and grass, and may be intercepted by Cao's army. The Cao army is different. Cao army is the main battle area, and has the advantage in food and grass logistics. If it goes on like this, Xia Houdun is not afraid.
As a result, 50000 soldiers of the two armies were facing each other across the river. Although it was shrouded in the atmosphere of fierce swords, the two armies did not fight, not even a single arrow was fired, and it looked very peaceful.
”General yuan rang, it seems that there is something wrong with him.” Han Hao suddenly frowned.
”Oh, I think something's wrong with it, too.”
Xia Hou Dun frowned and said, ”it seems that the enemy is not in a hurry to cross the river at all. It seems that it is enough to hold our troops here.”
Liu Bei's army was not in a hurry to attack. He was leisurely and leisurely, giving the impression that he was not in a hurry at all. Did the enemy have any backhand?
”Not good!”
Han Hao suddenly exclaimed: ”general yuan rang, Liu Bei and his three brothers are all going out. Why are the two banners of Liu and Zhang but not Guan Yu's?”
”What?”
Xia Hou Dun's eyes glared, and he quickly glanced toward the other side. He could not find the flag with the word ”Guan”.
