The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 283 One battle breaks the enemy, Wooden fights hard
On the surface of the Xiangjiang River, several boats were slowly moving forward.

The sailors on the ship were all dressed in white attire.

On the ship, there are looming boxes.

Looking at the situation, it seems that they are the same merchants who go north to sell goods!
The boat moved forward and soon reached the shore!

At this time, all the Nanyang soldiers on the beacon tower along the river noticed the fleet.

After a long time, a guard of Nanyang, dressed as a general, shouted to the river, "Who are you?"

"Quickly recruit from the truth, or don't blame me for being a sharp sword!"

When the voice came, the leader of a caravan on a ship quickly explained.

"This military lord is just the owner of this caravan."

"This punting trip across the river is just to sell silk in the Central Plains."

"No, it's the time of war, and the whole place is under martial law. You guys should return quickly!"

However, although the caravan owner followed up with an explanation.

But the guard on the shore still obeyed the law and did not let him pass.

Immediately, the caravan owner said slowly: "General, as the saying goes: War is the duty of soldiers, and has nothing to do with us merchants!"

"If we go back the same way this time, our goods will be piled up like a mountain, and we won't be able to sell them."

"Nako has suffered us a lot, how will we support our family then?"

For a while, the owner of the caravan showed his full acting skills, almost realistically.

In the end, after some thought, the guard agreed to the caravan's landing.

After landing, the owner of the caravan rushed to the guard and thanked him with thousands of words.

Afterwards, the owner of the caravan showed a bit of embarrassment and said, "General, we have been driving for several days in a row."

"I'm already tired now, and it's getting late, can I rest for a night and go north immediately tomorrow morning!"

He only said that the guard wanted to refuse immediately, but suddenly the owner of the caravan quietly took out money from his sleeve and stuffed it on the guard.

Immediately, the owner of the caravan continued: "I hope the general will succeed!"

"After the thing is done, there must be a big thank you!"

For a while, the guard was also fascinated by money, so he didn't agree to stay overnight.

"it is good!"

"You can dock your boat here and set up a tent to rest."

"But don't run around, this is an important military area, if you are found, you will be beheaded!"

Immediately, the guard was pleased with his money, solemnly warned the owner of the caravan, and then retreated immediately.

Immediately after, the owner of the caravan turned around and ordered everyone to set up tents and rest for the night.

…………

midnight
Suddenly, I saw several black shadows rushing out of the merchant's tent in the night.

And its target is the Beacon Tower along the river built by the Nanyang Army.

The black shadow passed through, and there was a bloody slaughter along the river!
Time passed by every minute and every second, and at about the time of dawn, all the beacon towers along the river were captured.

And this masterpiece came from this caravan that stayed overnight.

It turned out that this caravan was actually disguised by Qi Jun.

On that day, Gao Qi inadvertently thought of Guan Yu who set up beacon towers along the river during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty to guard against his Eastern Wu.

However, Lu Meng, who was once the governor of Eastern Wu, crossed the river in white and attacked Jingzhou.

That's why Gao Qi came up with this plan, together with Guo Jia and Jia Xu's staff.

In the end, the improved Baiyi crossing the river was staged here again.

As for the candidates to cross the river, Gao Qi chose Zhang Xun to lead the troops.

After all, if you pretend to be a caravan crossing the river, there must be no tall and burly people in the team.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the generals of the Qi army to complete this task.

At the critical moment, Zhang Xun volunteered to accept the military order and lead the team across the river.

Since Zhang Xun was born as a student, although he has a certain amount of bravery, it is harmless!
…………

After crossing the river with Zhang Xun, he successfully captured the beacon tower of the Nanyang Army.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Qi led an army of tens of thousands and came across the river on a well-prepared boat!

Because the beacon tower was seized, the Nanyang Army had almost no knowledge of what happened by the river.

It is only said that when Gao Qi led the army to approach the city of Fancheng, the defenders in the city did not react at all.

It wasn't until Fancheng was about to be breached that the defenders in the city reacted instantly.

However, it was too late, the fall of Fancheng was a foregone conclusion!

The Nanyang army hadn't figured it out so far, the Qi army was clearly on the other side of the river, but why did it suddenly appear here like a magic soldier descending from heaven.

Moreover, there was no news from the Beacon Tower along the river.

It is only said that as the situation of the Nanyang Army was unclear, Gao Qi led the army all the way to successively capture Fancheng, Xinye and other places.

Zhu Deng, the son of Zhu Can, did not know the battle report until he was about to approach Wancheng, Nanyang County.

The Qi army has marched northward in a big way, attacking the city and conquering the land all the way, and the soldiers are coming directly at the county!

For a while, Zhu Deng panicked when he was in danger, and his deployment of combat operations was all immature.

Zhu Deng is only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, and he has not yet reached the point of being calm and steady when dealing with danger.

…………

Under Nanyang City
The Qi army is setting up camp in an orderly manner, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

"Everyone, now our army has swept across Nanyang, as long as we attack Wancheng."

"Then our army will truly occupy Nanyang and completely wipe out Zhu Can's forces."

"It's just that, looking at its city defenses alone, Wancheng is extremely majestic and vast, and I'm afraid that a strong attack will not take advantage of it."

"I wonder if you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

In the camp, Gao Qi took the lead in analyzing the current situation, and then asked for advice.

Hearing this, all the generals pondered one after another, thinking of good strategies.

For a while, Zhao Yun was the first to go out and suggested: "Can our army use the mobility of the cavalry to bypass Wancheng and attack Zhu Can's main force?"

"Using this to force the defenders in the city to assist, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Just to say, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Shigui unanimously agreed to this statement in an instant.

After all, this time Gao Qi led the cavalry northward, but because of the continuous siege of cities and territories.

None of the cavalry had a chance to make a move, so Zhang Liao and the others held their breaths.

Always looking forward to the opportunity to make contributions.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun made a suggestion, he responded so positively.

"No!"

Just to say, after a moment of contemplation, Xue Rengui took the lead in speaking loudly to stop him.

Immediately, Xue Rengui explained in a deep voice: "Zilong's plan seems perfect, but it is full of loopholes!"

"It doesn't matter whether Zhu Can, the king of Nanyang, will allow our army's plot to succeed."

"If our army led the cavalry to bypass Wancheng and march into the Central Plains, the nature would be quite different."

"Once diplomatic relations are not handled properly, Wang Shichong will definitely be flanked."

Following Xue Rengui's analysis, all the generals also consciously denied Zhao Yun's decision.

"I don't know if there is a good strategy for benevolence?"

Immediately, Gao Qi asked Xue Rengui.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The only way to take Wancheng is to break it with strength!"
