Chapter 584: Chicken Heart Beachhead

The panicked beachhead said panic, and the zero ding sighed in the ocean. -------Southern song dynasty. Wen Tianxiang "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang"

It is said that on the morning mist Chaohu Lake, Yu Ban's 12,000 troops took large and small fishing boats and quickly approached the destination Jixin Beach. In another two hours, the surprise attack force of the three armies of the Yu Ban Army, composed of archers, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers, will land on the other side of Chaohu Lake and ambush them silently to the hilly area near the south gate of Hefei.

Yu Ban generation of famous generals, has always been strict in governing the army, clear rewards and punishments, and the combat effectiveness and morale of his subordinates are very high. If the surprise attack on Hefei is successful, Yu Wen will record the first merit of this southern expedition. In the future, he will conquer the world and become the side of the emperor, and the Yu family will soar from then on, which is just around the corner.

Putting down the forbidden dream and not mentioning it, Zhao Yun and Wang Ping are in full swing, quickly mobilizing thousands of soldiers and civilians from the city, and finding a hill, where the two largest tributaries of the river pass by, the Fengle River and the Hangbu River, which seem to be gurgling in the near place, the flow speed is fast, the two rivers flow out along the valley mouth, the two banks are bluestone cliffs, the scenery is beautiful.

Zhao Yun saw that the terrain here was excellent, and pointed to the valley mouth and said to Wang Ping: "As long as the river is cut off first, and then several sluices are made with wooden rafts at the mouth of the valley, the water flow will be blocked here, and a small lake will be formed." When the forbidden army rushed to land, I smashed the sluice with one shot, and the water rushed down the hilly terrain, ensuring that the forbidden army rushed into Chaohu Lake to feed the whitebait lake crabs. Wang Ping nodded hurriedly, saying that he was a clever plan, remembering that he was originally Cao Junpaoze, and couldn't help but feel gloomy. Fortunately, it was Yu Ban who was on the other side, not Xu Huang, and Wang Ping could still bear this burden in his heart.

The Qinglong soldiers and civilians took local materials, first cut off two rivers with a large number of earthwork boulders, and then cut down giant trees to make a simple sluice, blocking the water outlet at the mouth of the valley, and sealing the side of the stream flowing out of the mouth of the valley. After everything was arranged, Zhao Yun ordered dozens of wooden platoons to be made, and all the soldiers stood on the hills next to them. Everything was arranged, Zhao Yun ordered to cut the earthwork blocking the stream, and the two streams gradually filled the closed space in front of the valley mouth, the sluice gate was about seven or eight zhang high, because it had withstood the huge water pressure, the wooden sluice that had just been made rattled, but fortunately, it still withstood the huge pressure.

The stream slowly became a small lake, and the water level had reached a depth of seven or eight zhang, and the lake water overflowed the sluice gates and began to pour outward. Wang Ping, Zhao Yun and their soldiers all looked at the situation of the sluice gate a little nervously, if they couldn't hold the collapse at this time, it would be equivalent to banning the three armies, and it would become a war joke.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the wind and waves on the lake were gradually getting stronger, and Yu Ban's boat was slightly faster than other fishing boats, and he had already seen the shore of Chaohu Lake in the distance. The deputy general Chang Xuan stood behind Yu Ban, looked at the sky with some concern, and said to the ban: "General Wen Ze, you see that dark cloud in the distance is like a cover, and it seems to be floating over this side. If there is heavy rain at the time of landfall, it will add some trouble. ”

Yu Ban had already seen the rapid development of that dark cloud, and he was also a little worried, but this march was fast, so it could only be rain or shine. After thinking about it, he replied: "If it is a rainstorm and strong wind when landing, I have to wait for the first time, and when the wind and rain are light, I can naturally make landfall." Chang Feng nodded, thinking that this was the only way.

Dark clouds rolled, and in an instant, the wind on the lake strengthened, and the personnel began to stand unsteadily on the outboard deck. Most of the northern soldiers are not accustomed to water, let alone have been trained in water warfare, and the three armies of Yu Ban are not genuine sailors, so many soldiers have no choice but to enter the cabin, throw their weapons aside, and hold on to things like handrails with both hands, leaving the wind and waves bumpy. Many of them vomited and seasick, and immediately the ship was full of fishy stench, and the air in the cabin was even more disgusting.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sailors lowered their sails one after another, relying only on oars and waiting for the boat, and the overall speed of the ship slowed down. The dark clouds came and went very quickly, like a black dragon, and it did not rain except for a gust of wind. The weather quickly returned to fine, there was no wind and no waves in Chaohu Lake, and the scenery quickly recovered into wind and scenery. The sailors raised their sails one after another, the soldiers climbed out of their cabins to help the boat, the speed of the ship increased again, and the shadow of the chicken heart beach on the opposite shore seemed to have appeared in sight.

Yu Ban and Chang Feng returned to the deck again, both silently praying in their hearts, hoping that they would not encounter the same weather as just now when they landed. The weather above the water is really changing rapidly, and Yu Ban also understood this time, in front of nature, human beings are so small, and a small wind and waves will lead to a great reduction in combat effectiveness. Chang Feng thought to himself, didn't he offer sacrifices to the lake god before General Ban sent out his troops?

It was too late, it was fast, the sky was finally bright, and when the morning sun was about to rise, Yu Ban's fleet arrived at a few dozen zhang in front of Jixin Beach, and the water surface in front of the beach was very shallow, so Yu Ban picked a shoal, ordered all the fishing boats to put down the boats and boats, and began to transport soldiers and weapons and other baggage ashore. The number of small boats and boats was already insufficient, and after dozens of trips back and forth, less than half of the 12,000 people of the three armies of Yu Ban went ashore, gathered densely on the tidal flats, and began to advance inland in formation.

Yu Ban saw the slow progress at the bow of the ship, he was a little anxious, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and couldn't help but be startled, it turned out that after the dark cloud just now, more dark clouds gathered from nowhere, as if the dark clouds just now were just outposts, and the big black clouds behind were the main forces.

Yu Ban was a little frightened in his heart, if it was a torrential rain and strong wind at this time, he was afraid that it would cause damage to the ships and eventually affect the landing operation, so he commanded and ordered: "All the soldiers immediately get off the boat, wade up the water and go to the beach, and be sure to climb the small hill behind the Jixin Beach before the dark clouds arrive, and set up camp tents to avoid the rain." ”

This is the advantage of the tidal flats, although the shallow water makes it impossible for large ships to get on the beach, but in a hurry, the soldiers can barely land if they get off the boat and drown water from the mudflats. Under the order of the ban, all the fishing boats suddenly plopped and plunged into the water, and countless Cao soldiers held spears, knives and shields, with quivers stuck obliquely behind their backs, and crawled to the shore with a bang, which looked like countless ants struggling in the water from a distance.

The dark clouds were getting closer and closer, and Yu Ban saw that the wind was blowing again, and he couldn't help pacing back and forth on the deck for a few steps, and suddenly saw a wisp of smoke rising from the small hill behind the beach where he was going to garrison just now.

Chang Xuan, who was behind Yu Ban, also looked at it, pointed his hand and said, "Is there a fire there?" ”

After a long battle, seeing that the wisp of smoke was thin and straight, dark and black, and rushed straight to the sky, the hand holding the handle of the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly, how can this smoke look like signal smoke, could it be that someone cast the signal of Cao Jun's arrival?

Yu Ban's surprise is not trivial, if the Qinglong Army had already set up a secret post here, it means that Zhao Zilong had already thought that someone would sneak in and land here, then the whereabouts of his own strange army have been completely exposed, and the Qinglong Army must have an ambush to deal with him. If thousands of Qinglong crossbowmen rushed out from behind the small hill at this moment, these soldiers would be unsheltered on the tidal flats, and they would only be pierced by arrows and become hedgehogs and die tragically.

Yu Ban turned around and saw Chang Xuan shouting something under the boat, as if he was arranging for someone to immediately go to the back of the small hill to investigate. Yu Ban shook his head slightly, at this time, all the soldiers were rushing to the beach, where was there time to investigate? Only by making a quick decision can we reduce the loss, even if it is a false alarm, we need to be prepared for it.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if it's a false alarm, this responsibility is forbidden. As soon as he thought of this, Yu Ban didn't have time to think about it, he mobilized the internal force of his whole body, and roared wildly: "The shield soldiers organize a defensive formation on the spot!" Others immediately withdrew to the ship! All soldiers, withdraw to the ship immediately! ”

The roar and the sound of the wind spread far away, and the herald next to him hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly picked up the gong thrown aside and rang it. This time, the gongs and drums were noisy, and all the soldiers turned around to watch, and finally waded on the river bank and let them go back to the boat, what was going on?

The Cao army who came and went immediately caused a big chaos, the queues in all directions were all chaotic, the soldiers with shields hurriedly found a place to erect the shield wall, and the worst thing was the soldiers who waded through the water, the heavy weapons were already overwhelming them, this time they turned back to the deep water area, and the physical strength that was about to be squeezed out was even more exhausted, and they couldn't wait to quickly throw away the baggage in their hands and return to the boat to take a breath.

Just when Cao Jun was in chaos, Zhao Zilong and Wang Zijun also saw the signal smoke for the first time. The two generals glanced at each other, knowing that the enemy had indeed landed at Jixin Beach, and it was time to open the gate and release the water.

Zhao Yunyin's spear was raised, and a small white dragon immediately rose around the spear, as if it wanted to fly away. The little white dragon is gone, there is a division of teaching, the chicken heart beach becomes a panic beach, and the mouth of the lake becomes a hell on earth in seconds.
