- Jiumen Ferry

When Ma Qiang arrived at the Jiumen Ferry, it was already noon on the third day.

There are no boats at Jiumen Ferry for a long time, and only some long-abandoned ferry facilities tell others about the glory of this place.

Looking at the slowly flowing river and the empty riverbank on the opposite side, Ma Qiang pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile, "The thief army is really defenseless, Yan Rou, you first let a team of cavalry go over to spy on it, and the rest of the men and horses will eat and rest for a while, prepare to build a pontoon bridge, and set up a telegraph station, contact the military advisor, cross the river in two hours, and go to the other side of the river first to rest well." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Rou commanded a hundred cavalry to swim across the river, and it was true that the riverbed was wide and the river was slow, so the cavalry could cross the river with their horses.

After crossing the river, the cavalry dispersed, and the others began to cut wood in preparation for the construction of pontoon bridges.

As soon as Ma Qiang's telegraph station was set up, he found that the ore radio was constantly ringing, and when the translation was completed, he learned that Zhang Bao had attacked the camp at night last night, and I am afraid that there were already soldiers and horses rushing to the Jiumen South Ferry.

"Let Huang Zhong immediately lead people across the river, and let Yan Rou's cavalry go east to reconnoiter thirty miles!"

I have to say that after Ma Qiang made the telegram, it made him fight this kind of sub-battlefield as if it was opened, no, this is the opening of the hanging.

Huang Zhong was originally a native of Jingzhou and was good at water, and immediately after receiving the military order, he personally led the sergeants who were good at swimming across the river to establish a defensive position and prepare to respond.

As soon as Huang Zhong came ashore, a cavalry came to report that a large number of Yellow Turban troops appeared in the west.

Huang Zhong looked back, there were only more than 1,000 people who could swim across the river, how could this be fought?

After all, this is not Jing Yang, there are not many people in Youzhou who are good at swimming, and these more than 1,000 people are still selected from more than 10,000 people, otherwise there are even fewer people in Huang Zhong's battalion.

What's more, Huang Zhong didn't have many bows and crossbows in his hands. You must know that people who swim in the water can carry at most something like a floating board, and they can't carry iron armor or a bow and crossbow at all, and you must know that when a bow and crossbow crosses the river, the range is basically halved, so most of the guns carried in this song are spears, halberds, short soldiers and shields.

Even Huang Zhong only brought a war halberd, not his Remnant Yang Red Blood Knife.

Only horses were allowed to carry a small number of crossbows.

Whether it is the Qin and Han dynasties or the Tang and Song dynasties or later generations, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the first to fight with the bow and crossbow, as the so-called poor are interspersed with tactics, and rich are covered by firepower, so to speak, without the bow and crossbow, the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army is basically abolished.

"General! The thief army is still one or twenty miles away from us, our army can first ambush a part into the woods, wait for the thief army to approach, let the sergeant shout, the cavalry gallop, bluff, the thief army has been running all the way, and see our army crossing the river, must be tired and panicked, as long as they are a little confused, they can win in chaos! ”

Huang Zhong thought about it, so he asked Liu Xin to ambush in the woods with more than one banner and one banner, hoping to delay some time by this method.

In just another hour, Ma Qiang's army can cross the river on a pontoon bridge.

More than ten miles away, Zhu Feiyan was walking with 5,000 people on foot, Zhu Feiyan looked at the river and shouted, "It's not good, you see, why are there so many sawdust and debris on this river, it must be someone upstream who is building a pontoon bridge to cross the river, immediately hurry up and report to General Digong and my father-in-law, and the others speed up!" ”

Zhu Feiyan's movements were still too slow, and by the time he saw the Jiumen Ferry, Ma Qiang's pontoon bridges had been built, and soldiers and horses had already begun to cross the river on the pontoon bridges.

When Zhu Feiyan saw the simple beachhead established by Huang Zhong, her hands trembled in a hurry, and she shouted in her mouth, "It's all my fault for being careless, fortunately, there is a general of the land and the army obeys the order!" Drive them back! After saying that, he rushed forward first.

Ma Qiang, who was on the other side of the river, frowned slightly when he saw the Yellow Turban Army appear, he didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army to come so quickly, looking at this speed, it shouldn't have been left last night, could it be that before the night attack, the thief army had already divided its troops?

Ma Qiang asked the signal soldiers to send the information back to the camp, and at the same time let the soldiers and horses cross the river quickly.

"Kill!!" Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that Zhu Feiyan did not let the crossbowmen concentrate on attacking his position, knowing that there must be a chick on the other side who had no experience in war, so he immediately decided to wait for the thief army to get close to him and kill the position, and fought with Zhu Feiyan's army.

Zhu Feiyan was also in a daze, and it was too late to change the military order after discovering that he had made a mistake.

When Zhu Feiyan was desperately waving the flag and trying to redeploy, there was a burst of shouting and killing behind him, and when he looked back, there were sand and rocks flying in the woods, and he could see a lot of flags shaking, and his heart suddenly panicked.

"Oh no, is there an ambush?"

Not only Yan Rou thought like this, these thousands of people had been running all the way, tired enough, but now seeing that there might be an ambush, they had no will to fight.

At this time, Zhu Feiyan's character of not being afraid of death appeared, he simply divided his troops, and let a general lead the soldiers and horses that had not yet followed up to stand outside the woods to block, and sent a team of people to supervise the battle team, and those who retreated were killed, and he took the lead, holding two ring-headed knives, and rushed to the front with the flag, shouting "The sky is dead!" Huang Tian should stand! Years old in Jiazi! The world is lucky!! ”

The other Yellow Turban soldiers shouted slogans, Huang Zhong saw that his subordinates were actually pressed back, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Feiyan with admiration, this kid is young and lacks experience in war, but he really has three points of courage.

It's a pity, let the old man send you home!

Huang Zhong squinted at Zhu Feiyan, took a few steps back, and took a pair of bows and arrows, this bow and arrow was just an ordinary bow and arrow, and with a slight pull, it was already opened.

"The thief will look at the arrow!"

Huang Zhong roared, the arrows were like lightning, Zhu Feiyan heard the shout, and he didn't turn his head, his body bent into a weird angle, and he actually dodged Huang Zhong's arrow.

Zhu Feiyan looked at the arrows that brushed his scalp, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly retreated in fright, Huang Zhong was even more surprised than him, this young thief general has some skills.

At this time, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly appeared in the distance, Huang Zhong and Zhu Feiyan couldn't help but look at it, this was obviously a cavalry, and his appearance would inevitably break the current battle situation.

And in the camp, Duan Ying looked at the telegram sent by Ma Qiang, pinched his eyebrows, last night's fight, Liu Bei's three brothers didn't have a, it can be seen that neither the elite sergeants nor the generals on the other side are brave, but they can guess their actions so quickly, there should be a handsome person in charge.

If this is the case, this person must have tried to move his troops and horses last night.

He will mobilize troops and horses to Changshan, and even go in person!

"Send a report to Ming Gong, the thief army will have a large number of soldiers and horses to kill Changshan, you need to deal with it carefully, I will design a hunt here in Xiaquyang, don't worry!"
