Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

Chapter 208 The Dragon Boat Enters The River, Forcing Ma Teng To Cut His Flesh! 【1】

Outside Tongguan.

When the sky was high and the clouds were clear, Liu Wu rode to the city again.

The majestic Tongguan Pass came into view again.

Guancheng is still Guancheng, but the situation of the enemy and us has undergone drastic changes.

The fire ox defeated the cavalry of the Xiongnu, and the fighting spirit of the Han soldiers had reached its peak.

Although the Xiliang army who fled back to Guancheng suffered little loss, their morale was turbulent and their fighting spirit was low.

All the generals on the left and right were all blazing with fighting spirit, and they all generously asked for a fight.

Liu Wu did not give the order, and immediately launched a large-scale attack on Tongguan.

He turned his gaze to the north to the Yellow River.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Wu shouted: "I pass on my will to order Lu Meng to lead the water army into the Yellow River, advance both by land and water, and break through Tongguan."

As soon as this decree came out, all the officials were shocked.

"Your Majesty, after the Yellow River passes through Shancheng, the water is extremely turbulent, and even my dragon boat cannot flow upstream to Tongguan.

Tai Shici reminded immediately.

"Only relying on the strength of the dragon boat itself, naturally there is no way to go retrograde."

Liu Wu changed the topic, but said: "But I still need to call the civilians to gather on both sides of the bank, and drag them with ropes, so the navy can go upstream."

Tai Shici's eyes flashed, and he realized suddenly.

Guo Jia also said happily: "Your Majesty, this plan is brilliant. With the boat tracker towing the boat, my dragon boat can reach the waters of Tongguan, and the navy will turn back to 110 to go north, and then I can copy the rear of Tongguan!"

All the generals are excited.

Liu Wu immediately ordered Lu Meng to sail the waters of Tongguan from the lower reaches.

After the edict was issued, the people in Hongnong County who hated Ma Teng all applied for the draft one after another and gathered on both sides of the Yellow River.

A few days later, Lu Meng commanded more than two hundred dragon boats, dragged by tens of thousands of trackers, and headed westward against the rolling Yellow River.

The warship passed through the turbulent waters such as Shancheng, and soon reached the front line of Tongguan.

On Tongguan, all the rulers and ministers of Xiliang were shocked by it.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao, even Jia Xu and Fazheng never expected that Liu Wu would be able to use this method to push the dragon boat and warship back to Tongguan.

Close the city.

Ma Teng looked at the mighty Han army and water army on the Yellow River, dumbfounded and astonished.

"He actually used ropes to pull the warship to Tongguan?"

Ma Teng's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were astonished as if he saw a phantom.

Jia Xu came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Da Sima, if Liu Wu's navy is allowed to cross Tongguan and enter the Wei River, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Ma Teng felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

As soon as the navy of the Han army enters the Wei River, they can go westward along the current, bypass Tongguan, and go straight to Chang'an.

Even if the Han army does not attack Chang'an, it can cut off the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an if it goes east, and capture Feng Yi if it goes north, cutting off the connection between Hedong and Guanzhong.

Once Feng Yi is captured, Pang De's tens of thousands of troops stationed in Hedong will become a lone army!

"Liu Wu's trick is so vicious!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and cursed, and quickly looked at Jia Xu: "Military Wenhe, Liu Wu's navy has reached Tongguan, what should we do?"

Jia Xu was silent.

After a long time.

Jia Xu sighed: "In the current situation, we can no longer take care of both ends. Hedong County will never be able to hold on. It is better to let General Pang lead his troops back to Guanzhong."

Ma Teng's figure froze, and he fell silent for a moment.

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Hedong is such an important town, how could it be handed over to Liu Wu like this!"

"Liu Wu's navy has arrived at Tongguan, and will soon enter the Weishui River. Our strength has long been stretched. If we don't withdraw General Pang's troops, not only will we not be able to defend the east of the river, but we will also be able to heal Guanzhong!"

"Since this is the case, why not save your strength, withdraw the Hedong soldiers, and stick to the pass with all your strength!"

"My lord, this is a last resort."

This time, Fazheng did not compete with Jia Xu for the limelight, but also spoke out to agree with this poisonous man.

Ma Chao was at a loss for words.

"Wen He and Xiao are justified in their blunt words, and the order is clear, and quickly withdraw their troops back to Guanzhong.

Although Ma Teng was unwilling, he also weighed the pros and cons of the gains and losses, and finally decided to cut the meat.

Jia Xu and Fazheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ma Chao was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

Jia Xu went on to say: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just abandon Hedong. The Han army's navy can still cut off the connection between Tongguan and Chang'an. I think we must annex everything in Tongguan and retreat to Luokou to defend!"

Ma Teng waved his hand feebly and said, "According to your plan, we will abandon Tongguan as long as Ling Ming returns to Guanzhong!"

On the top of the city, sighs came and went.

East of Tongguan, south bank of the Yellow River.

Liu Wu immediately went to the shore, admiring his huge fleet as it passed by on the river.

"Feng Xiao, in your opinion, how will Ma Teng deal with it now?"

Liu Wu glanced at Guo Jia.

Guo Jiadao: "According to my opinion, Jia Xufazheng and others will definitely persuade Ma Teng to abandon Hedong and Tongguan and concentrate his forces to retreat to Luokou.

Liu Wu nodded slightly: "Then, in your opinion, how will I attack the army next?"

"I think that your Majesty should not attack Tongguan, but send troops northward first, raid Pubandu, and cut off Pound's way from Hedong County to Guanzhong!"

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said.

"A wise man sees the same thing."

Liu Wu sneered coldly, and shouted: "Decree, order Lu Meng to lead the navy not to enter the Weishui River, go north immediately, attack Puban City, and block Pang De in Hedong County!"

"promise!"

An imperial decree was sent to Shuishang immediately.

Lv Meng got the order, and immediately led the water army to go north, and went straight to Pubandu to kill.

In order to cover the actions of the navy, Liu Wu ordered cavalry to be dispatched to protect the trackers on the south bank from Xiliang cavalry raids.

A few days later, Lu Meng led the water army and arrived at Pubandu by surprise.

Puban Ferry is the only way to connect Hedong and Guanzhong. It is named after Puban Pass on the west bank.

Although this crossing is also an important road connecting east and west, but because the former Hedong County was in the hands of Ma Teng, there were no heavy troops stationed on this crossing.

Pu Bandu's soldiers and horses were nothing more than a thousand weak soldiers led by Ma Wan, and they were totally vulnerable.

Ma Teng never dreamed that Liu Wu's navy would not enter the Weishui River, but head northward along the Yellow River, would come to surprise this crossing and cut off Pound's troops in Hedong County.

After learning of the movement of the Han army, Ma Teng was naturally shocked, and sent his eldest son Ma Chao to lead his cavalry to Pubandu to strengthen his defense.

He was still half a step late after all.

Lu Meng's 20,000 sailors arrived at Puban Ferry first, and after a day's berserk attack, they successfully wiped out more than a thousand defenders and captured the ferry.

The passage from Hedong to Guanzhong was cut off.

Pang De and the 20,000 Xiliang Army thus became a lone army!.
