Chapter 519: Flames Cross the River

"Senior General Cheng, the enemy's raft hasn't gotten too close yet, and now we still have a chance to withdraw our troops, quickly order the withdrawal of the troops, otherwise the whole army will be burned to the ground!" Lu Su shouted urgently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cheng Pu's body was shocked, and deep fear suddenly flashed in his old eyes.

Proud as he was, this time, he was really scared.

Cheng Pu is very good at water warfare, and he has used fire attacks against the enemy many times in his life, but he knows best that the fire attack strategy is the strongest move among all kinds of tactics, and it is powerful enough to destroy the enemy's army in an instant.

After weighing for a while, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth unwillingly, and shouted: "This horse aid is so deceitful, the whole army retreats, and retreats to the south quickly!" ”

On the flagship of the ship, the flag waved.

In the fleet of the Wu army, on the warships, the high-spirited Wu pawns were also panicked in the face of the fire net coming from the Hengjiang River, and when they saw the banner of withdrawing troops, they turned around and fled in the direction of Xiakou downstream.

The situation of the Wu army on the river, and the potters on the shore, saw it clearly.

Seeing the surging fleet of the Wu army, he turned around in a hurry, and watched the long net of fire push downstream, and the potter smiled.

"This horse aid is really worthy of its name......"

Ma Yuan's plan to cross the river on a fire raft was really clever, and he forced the Wu army to retreat without much effort, although it could not burn the fleet of the Wu people, but it had achieved the goal of scaring the Wu army away.

The strategic goal of the pottery merchants in this battle was not to completely destroy Cheng Pu's Wu army, but only to capture the Hanjin fortress and open up the waterway to Xiakou.

As soon as Cheng Pu retreated, the potters naturally did not hesitate, and immediately ordered all the cavalry to kill the enemy camp in Hanjin not far away along the east bank.

The army of 5,000 iron horsemen, as fast as the wind, was killed in front of the enemy camp in less than a moment.

At this time, Cheng Pu's sailors had also withdrawn to the front line of Shuiying, and they wanted to retreat into the water village and defend themselves on the spot, but unfortunately, the fire raft that followed destroyed his intentions.

Many trestle bridges in the water camp of the Wu army extend into the water, and the fire raft will soon be ignited when the fire raft collides like this, and the two water and land camps are connected to each other, and once the water camp catches fire, the dry camp will soon be affected.

If Cheng Pu chooses to retreat into the water camp, he will wait for the hundreds of warships of the Wu army, as well as the seven or six thousand sailors, all of them to be buried in the sea of fire.

Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to cross the water camp and not enter, leading the defeated fleet to continue to flee further downstream, towards Xiakou.

As soon as Cheng Pu fled, it was equivalent to abandoning Jiang Qin and the remaining 3,000 Wu soldiers in the water camp.

Because Cheng Pu's army withdrew too quickly, it was too late to inform the troops left behind in the village, when Jiang Qin found that Cheng Pu had been defeated, he was shocked, and wanted to get on the boat and escape, the Wei army's raft was already surging.

Boom, boom, boom

Rows of huge rafts burning with raging fire, carrying the momentum of the river, mercilessly crashed into the water camp, and in the blink of an eye, the first line of the trestle was ignited, and hundreds of the remaining warships of the Wu army were all ignited before they had time to leave the shore.

The fire soon spread along the warship and the burning warship towards the water camp on the shore, and in an instant, the entire Hanjin enemy camp was burned into a sea of fire.

On the shore, Jiang Qin was stunned and at a loss when he saw the warship being burned and the tongue of fire swept in.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and soon realized that there was no chance of escaping from the water, and immediately led the defeated troops out of the water camp and rushed into the dry camp, wanting to escape from the land.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

When Jiang Qin fled from the camp gate in a hurry, he looked up, but was shocked to find that outside the camp, five thousand Wei army iron cavalry had been stationed like an iron wall, blocking the way.

Five thousand iron cavalry soldiers, a pair of murderous eyes, staring at each other as if staring at their prey.

Under the banner of the proudly flying "Wei" character, the potter immediately crossed his sword and looked at them coldly, with a sarcastic sneer raised at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't even give Wu Ren a chance to be frightened, the war knife in his hand was raised, and he slashed at the enemy, shouting: "The iron cavalry of Great Wei, rush up to this king, and run all Wu dogs!" ”

"Running over Wu Dog-" Overlord Xiang Yu let out a long roar, like a golden lightning, and was the first to shoot out.

The earth-shaking sound of killing rose to the sky, and the knights of the Wei army, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, burst into formation, like a flood that burst the embankment, carrying the power of killing everything, and unstoppably pounced on the enemy.

The Wu people are good at water warfare but not good at land warfare, and once they leave the water, their courage and fighting spirit will be discounted.

What's more, the enemy they are facing is still the Great Wei Iron Cavalry, which is invincible on land.

Faced with the overwhelming momentum of the collapse of the earth that day, in an instant, the morale of the three thousand Wu soldiers was shattered, and they all ran around with their heads in their hands, fled for their lives, and fell into collapse.

The potter immediately laughed, with a sneer on his face, admiring this massacre without suspense.

The Great Wei Iron Cavalry, all the way wildly, ruthlessly crushed the enemy, and in an instant, the three thousand Wu troops were torn apart.

After the Wu army, there was a fire that burned the buttocks, and there were iron horsemen in front of them, and the three thousand soldiers had no way to escape, and most of them were killed in a blink of an eye, and the rest were all frightened and knelt down to beg for surrender.

In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Qin was fleeing by the road, his eyes passed through the iron cavalry of the Wei army, and he saw the "Wei" character Wang Qi of the pottery merchant.

"If we lose today, what face do we have to go back to see the king, it is better to fight for our lives, if we can kill the pottery thief, wouldn't I Jiang Qin have made an immortal achievement......"

Jiang Qin, in despair, suddenly burned a trace of madness in his heart, and looked around to the left and right, but seeing that his soldiers and soldiers were almost killed, and the south was full of enemy troops, and he could not clash at all.

On the contrary, the location of the potters is less encircled, and there seems to be a possibility of a breakthrough.

"Fuck, fight-"

With no other choice, Jiang Qin gritted his teeth, shouted violently, rode his horse and danced his sword, broke through the blockage of the rebel army, and went straight to the place where the potter was.

Jiang Qin's martial arts are also very good, not to mention about 75 points, with a knife, he actually killed more than ten Wei army iron horsemen, and single-handedly killed the pottery merchants.

The potter's eagle eyes had seen this scene at this moment.

He saw that in the chaotic army, an enemy general was coming towards him, and looking at the posture, it seemed that he was still delusional about taking his own head in the army and finishing his work in one battle.

The potter didn't bother to make a move at all, because he saw that Xiang Yu had locked on the enemy general, just like golden lightning, tearing through the blood mist and intercepting and killing.

"Wu Guo, do you also want to threaten my king, leave the dog's life!"

In the piercing shout, golden lightning roared out, and the overlord golden gun dragged diagonally emitted a sharp hunting sound that tore through the air.

Jiang Qin, who was approaching, saw a gold-armored general attacking him obliquely, and he was not afraid, and shouted in his mouth: "Dare to block Lao Tzu to kill the pottery thief, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

In the midst of the loud shouts, Jiang Qin didn't know the height of the sky, and a long knife in his hand was carrying the rolling power, and he slashed at Xiang Yu head-on.

The two rode and collided in an instant.

The golden light skyrocketed, but when he saw Xiang Yuhu's arm shaking, and before he could see how he made a move, the overlord golden spear that was dragged behind the horse had already flashed past Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin's sword was still in the air, and he didn't have time to fall, his eyes widened, as if he had seen the most terrifying and incredible thing in the world.

Then, one of his human heads detached from his neck and flew into the air.

With just one move, Xiang Yu killed Jiang Qin in seconds.

"This king has Xiang Yu here, just with your martial arts, you also want to threaten this king, what a joke......" Seeing Xiang Yu's general, the pottery merchant sneered.

Xiang Yu, who collected the gun, stood proudly with a horizontal spear, blood flowed endlessly on the front of the gun, and the undead Wu soldiers on the left and right were all frightened by the dog's gall, seeing that the main general was beheaded with one move, the fragile will of the remaining Wu army immediately collapsed, and they all fell to the ground and asked to surrender.

In less than half an hour, this heart-wrenching massacre ended with the total annihilation of 3,000 Wu troops.

The potter stood on the shore and swept his eyes around, but saw that the entire Hanjin Wu camp had turned into a sea of fire, and in the raging fire, countless Wu pawns did not have time to escape, howling and rolling in the fire, and finally were engulfed by the fire.

Then along the Han River, looking downstream, thousands of fire rafts, still burning, drifting downstream, although the fire has weakened, but the power is still not to be underestimated.

This is Zhang Liang's strategy.

Defeated Cheng Pu's army with horse reinforcement and water warfare, and took advantage of the enemy's defeat, Tao Shang personally led the army of iron cavalry to intercept and kill the fleeing enemy from the land, and took the Hanjin fortress in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the Wu army actually only lost more than 3,000 people, 100 warships, and Jiang Qin's generals, the losses on the surface were not huge, but the actual losses were immeasurable.

As soon as Hanjin was lost, the passage to Xiakou was opened, and no one could stop the potters from going to save Xiakou.

On the night of the conquest of Hanjin, the pottery merchant ordered the army to rest for half a day, and the next day before it was clear, the land and water armies went down the river, following the defeated army of Cheng Pu, and rushed all the way to the direction of Xiakou City.

……

South of Xiakou City, Wu Army Camp.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Sun Ce was standing outside the tent door, looking at the direction of Xiakou City from afar, pondering how to break through this impregnable Jiangxia Governor's Office.

Although he was confident that Cheng Pu's army could hold the potters for at least half a month, and he still had enough time to attack Xiakou, Gan Ning, who was defending the city, gave him quite a headache.

"This damn Jinfan thief, after conquering Xiakou, this king has to divide your five horses into corpses to vent the hatred in my heart......" Sun Ce gritted his teeth secretly, and his eyebrows were filled with deep disgust.

At this moment, a person came to this side, and Sun Ce saw that it was Pang Tong.

"Shiyuan, you have an idea for this king, how can you break through this Xiakou City?" Sun Ce said with a frown.

As he spoke, the two ministers stepped into the king's tent.

"If you want to break Xiakou City, unless you attack it, there is no other way." Pang Tong sighed and hesitated, but then he arched his hand and said: "King, Tong has been thinking for a long time, and there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Between you and me, why do you need to worry like this, Shi Yuan has something to say." Sun Ce flicked his hands and smiled.

Pang Tong coughed dryly, and said: "That's the case, after thinking about it, I feel that it is really difficult to break through this Xiakou City, and the reinforcements of the pottery thief are near, and most of our army's spirit has been lost. ”
