104, Cao Jun crossed the river
"Report ......"
In the Chibi camp, Zhou Yu was discussing with Liu Bei, Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang about the last attack on Wulin and being beaten back by a person with a strange weapon. If you don't discuss it, you can't help it, that weird weapon is too violent, and it is directly the main murderer who repelled the coalition forces.
While discussing the matter, he heard a voice from outside the camp, and the governor of Zhou stood up. What can happen to this, let Tan Ma report it, could it be that Cao's army has hit the south bank? What are you kidding, Cao Jun's warship was burned clean by himself, and there is nothing to worry about left.
"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, a bridge suddenly appeared on the river, unusually wide, and could accommodate at least more than 100 people to cross side by side." The probe horse entered the camp and gave a report.
"What, how could there be such a ridiculous thing, but it has ever been investigated?" The governor of Zhou didn't believe it at all, it was the Yangtze River, three or four miles wide, and how could he have the ability to build a bridge over the Yangtze River in this era, and he relied on boats to cross the river.
Not to mention Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and the three of them didn't believe it, it was unimaginable for a bridge to appear on the Yangtze River in this era, and it was easier to ascend to immortals.
"Governor, the bridge is not far from the camp, three miles away, and if it is daytime, it can be seen outside the camp." Tanma hurriedly explained that lying about the military situation would be a death story.
Zhou Yu took Liu Bei and others out of the camp, rode a war horse and followed the horse to gallop upstream along the river for more than two miles, and by the light of the moon, he could already see the bridge not far ahead.
When they came to the Diamond Bridge, Zhou Yu and everyone were stunned, the bridge deck was wide, and the whole bridge seemed to be a whole, and there were no traces of man-made at all. No matter how you look for it, you just can't see a gap. Riding a war horse galloping on it, the bridge deck was smooth and solid, and there was no problem at all for the army to pass. He drew his saber and slashed at the bridge so hard that there was not even a trace, but the saber was missing.
"This ...... This...... Why did such a bridge suddenly appear, could it be that the sky is going to die in the east of the river? Zhou Yu was well aware of the consequences of this bridge, and Cao Jun could directly cross the Yangtze River from the bridge and go straight down to Jiangdong. The main barrier in Jiangdong is the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is no longer dangerous, so Jiangdong is like a stripped sister paper, at the mercy of others.
Not to mention the Jiangdong water network, there are many rivers and lakes, and those that can't stop the pace of the Cao army at all, at most they just slow down the speed of the Cao army's march. Besides, if the Cao army is killed from the bridge now, the 80,000 allied troops will not be able to stop the attack of more than 100,000 elites of the Cao army, and they will sweep the main force of land warfare in the north.
Thinking of this, the governor of Zhou was shocked again, and asked Tanma to stay here to monitor the bridge deck, and he returned to the Chibi camp with people to beat the drum and gather the generals.
Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and other generals heard the drum of the generals and hurried to the camp. Zhou Yu didn't say anything about the situation, and ordered directly.
"General Huang, General Gan, General Zhou, three miles southwest of Daying, there is a bridge, you three lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, immediately go to the garrison, you must not let a Cao army cross the bridge, there must be no mistake."
The three generals shouted their orders and left the camp, and the three of them looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Isn't the governor having a fever in his brain this week, there can be a bridge over the Yangtze River, and you don't have to fool people like this, right?
However, the military order has been issued, and the three of them have also received the order, so naturally they can only lead the troops to the southwest of the camp. Before leaving the camp and walking two miles, I heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the three generals were stunned.
When we continued to see the bridge over the river, I also saw a large group of cavalry galloping on the bridge. The three generals immediately spread out their armies and faced the direction of the bridge in defensive formation.
If you don't defend it, you can't do it, the cavalry has already run more than half of the bridge, and there is less than a mile left to the bridgehead, and it is less than a mile from the bridgehead. At the speed of the cavalry, it will be too late if the formation is not launched.
Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard to ride across the river, and he still maintained a shocked mood in his heart, there is such a wide and strong bridge on the Yangtze River, and it appeared suddenly, and he has never found it after coming here for so many days.
From a distance, he found that a fire dragon appeared on the opposite bank, and it was obvious that a large number of troops were marching with torches, Cao Chun sped up a few more speeds, crossed the bridge as soon as possible, and attacked the troops on the opposite side. The prime minister led the troops in the rear, and then arrived, Cao Chun was not afraid of many people on the opposite side at all, anyway, he was an elite cavalry, as long as he broke the enemy formation, the 100,000 army would follow and sweep the tail, and the regiment would be wiped out properly.
The distance of less than two miles, at the speed of the cavalry, according to modern timekeeping, was only two minutes. Cao Chunchong was at the forefront and plunged headlong into the army formation of 30,000 Jiangdong Army.
The Jiangdong Army's land combat level can be said to be a few streets worse than Cao's army, not to mention the elite of the elite such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Five thousand tigers and leopards rode from the bridge, and then accelerated for a distance of nearly a mile, and the impact force had been exerted to the maximum. The 30,000 Jiangdong Army's men were turned on their backs, and it was completely impossible to stop the advance of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the Jiangdong Army was scattered by the tiger and leopard cavalry in the tea time.
Although Huang Gai, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai led by example and resisted the tiger and leopard riders at the forefront, they still could not reverse the defeat. On the bridge, the 100,000 army led by Boss Cao was marching through the bridge in a hurry, and Xu Huang, who was running at the front, had already danced the Xuanhua axe.
Just ravaged by the tiger and leopard cavalry, the Jiangdong Army ushered in the impact of 100,000 troops, that feeling, summed up in four words: ********!
The tiger and leopard cavalry did not stop, and went straight to the camp of the Chibi Sun and Liu coalition army. Time waits for no one, since Zhou Yu has sent men and horses to come, it means that the other party has discovered the bridge, and when the Sun-Liu coalition army is not fully ready, it must be quickly defeated, so as not to cause too much damage to his side.
The 30,000 horses led by Huang Gai and the three were killed and injured by the impact of the tiger and leopard riding, and the formation was chaotic. The 100,000 army came one after another, surrounding the remaining 20,000 or so Jiangdong troops, not to mention it, and directly copying the guys and doing it, without giving a way to survive at all.
Boss Cao is also in a hurry, what we want is to completely annihilate the Sun and Liu coalition army, these 30,000 people are less than half, there is no need to grind time here. Leaving a few generals and 50,000 horses, Boss Cao himself took the remaining 50,000 people and followed the tiger and leopard cavalry to continue to the Chibi camp.
Zhou Yu was arranging the defense of the large camp at this time, in addition to the 30,000 people sent to the bridge, there were still 40,000 troops in the big camp, and most of them were arranged by Zhou Yu in the direction of facing the bridge, and they were strictly guarded.
At this time, I can only guard, and I can't run. Running on land, looking for death, how did you outrun the cavalry of the Cao army? When you get on the boat and run up the Yangtze River, you can run a few, but you can't run much. I can already hear the shouting and killing sound from the direction of the bridge, and at this time, it would be good to get on the boat and run a few thousand people.
The arrangements of the governor of Zhou have not yet been fully implemented, and the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun has arrived outside the Chibi camp, and the defending Sun and Liu coalition forces shot a strong bow and shoot a long distance, Cao Chun reluctantly took the tiger and leopard cavalry to turn and look for defensive loopholes along the camp.
