C255 (2/2)
Zhang Fei stuck out his tongue in fear, and couldn't help but to rub his head with one hand. ”If he cannot hit Gaoguellian and finish all the cavalry, wouldn't Lord General skin him?” Heh heh … ”What brilliant ideas do you two advisors have? Quickly tell me. Do you want to suffocate me, Old Zhang, to death?”
”Crossing three crossings at the same time!” Xun Yu waved his hand, and laughed complacently: ”Tonight, we will let the commoner accompany us to the lower levels of the South Field Ferry, and then we will rush there. Tomorrow, we will cross there from the South Field Ferry as soon as dawn breaks. Of course, they are only bluffing. At the same time, they sent one of their cavalry brigade s to rush upstream to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tomorrow morning, they would forcibly ferret it out from the Tiger Leaping Gorge. However, when the sun rises tomorrow, a large number of Gaoguellian s that were left at An Ling Du would try to cross over from An Ling Du, causing the s at An Ling Du to be at a loss, not daring to casually reinforce the Tiger Leaping Gorge s. ”
”Truth is falsehood, but falsehood is falsehood. Good!” Guan Yu nodded and revealed a rare smile. He raised his head and laughed: ”Zhao Yun, Cang Ba, how about you two bring Yan Zheng and Lu Tong's cavalry brigade s to the Tiger Leaping Gorge?”
”Yes sir!” Zhao Yun and Cang Ba cupped their fists and replied.
”Wait, wait, let me go to Tiger Leaping Gorge.” Zhang Fei anxiously stopped Zhao Yun and Cang Ba, turned and said to Guan Yu: ”Let me go, I just want to enjoy myself.”
Gaoguellian knows Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. With the two of us by the river and you roaring, they would definitely think that we are focusing on An Lingdu and would not dare to reinforce Tiger Leaping Gorge. Guan Yu laughed, and said solemnly.
”Sigh …” Zhang Fei could not help but sigh, and waved for Zhao Yun and Cang Ba to leave. He knew that Guan Yu's arrangement was right, the Gaoguellian would be scared the moment they heard his name. If he wasn't there, the Gaoguellian would definitely be suspicious. He helplessly shook his head and said with a sigh, ”If my reputation is too great, it would harm others!”
The hundred thousand Gaoguanli soldiers stationed in West Gorge River had settled down in three large camps, tightly controlling them and making preparations to fight. However, the Fifth Prince possesses high elemental energy was still worried, he continuously sent out his men to observe the movements of the Han army on the other side of the river.
In the early hours of the morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, the Gaoguanli's patrolling sentries suddenly saw faint black shadows surging towards them from the river surface. The sentries immediately lit a rocket and shot it towards the direction of the black figures. Under the weak firelight of the rocket, the patrolling sentries noticed that more than a hundred wooden squadrons were quietly heading their way.
”Swoosh …”
The patrolling sentry turned pale with fright and immediately fired a warning shot into the air. As a Arrows flew into the sky, a sharp, ear-piercing sound broke the silence of the night. The whistling sound in the night sky had not traveled very far, waking the sentries along the river.
”Clank, clank, clank …”
The sounds of arrows being shot rang out, and quickly reached the Gaoguellian's camp. The sentries immediately sounded the alarm when they heard the signal from the patrolling sentries. The alarm bell sounded in the camp, giving off an unusually tense atmosphere.
”Someone, come …”
Fifth Prince suddenly jumped up from the bed, while shouting, he grabbed the big blade. A few guards rushed in and immediately helped Fifth Prince put on his clothes and armor. Before he could walk out of the Big Account, a high-ranking officer suddenly came forward to report.
”His Royal Highness, the Han army is crossing the river.”
”Send my order, assemble and get into position.” Fifth Prince suddenly waved his hand and chased the high-ranking officer away. For the past few days, in order to effectively defend the crossing, he had prepared a defensive area for each of the generals.
The sleeping Gaoguellian quickly got up, and with their shouts, she lined up and ran towards her own position. A troop of three thousand riders galloped out of the camp and headed straight for the section of the river where the Han army was crossing. At the same time, the fifteen thousand foot soldiers, acting as maneuvers, also rushed towards the section where the accident had occurred.
It had to be said that this Fifth Prince had some military talent, his arrangement was perfect. By the time he reached the river, the fastest of the cavalry was already on the bank, spreading out along the bank. If the Han Army went ashore, after facing the archer's archery rain, they would then have to face the charge of the Gaoguellian's cavalry.
”His Royal Highness, the first wave of the Han army has reached the center of the river.” At this time, the cavalry leader had already arrived beside Fifth Prince and pointed at the wooden row in the middle of the river.
