Chapter 269: Dams
Ma Chao was in the camp of the Chinese army, and Ma Liang put on armor and climbed high and looked.
In the dark night, except for Lishui in the east, there were arson, drums, and trumpet-blowing Wei troops everywhere on the other three sides, some of them were fierce attacks, and some were bluffing feints.
I couldn't tell the difference between the virtual and the real of the Wei army, and as far as I looked, there were figures shaking everywhere the flames lit.
The Chinese army camp is a strong barracks, and Ma Liang did not panic, calmly observed, and judged the direction and intention of the Wei army's main attack.
"Protectors, the road has been broken, and the enemy army is galloping towards the rear camp of our army!"
It can be seen that the dense torches are heading towards the south, and Ma Liang's tone is calm: "This suspicious soldier is also, the rear camp of our army is adjacent to the Dangkou army, the camp is strong, and now it is still guarded, how can it fall easily?" β
He raised his hand and pointed at the Wei army's team headed south, and became more and more confident: "The enemy has been running for twenty miles since Wankou, how can he travel another twenty miles to attack my rear camp?" This must be suspicious, no need to care, let alone panic. β
"Protectors, the enemy is burning and blocking the road, when will the Beifu soldiers come to help?"
"When Xiahou finds out the enemy's situation, he will send troops to fight."
Ma Liang appeased the surrounding military officials, his defensive task was much easier than Ma Chao's, just the trenches outside the camp, antlers, and fences, a total of four fortifications, which were not easy for Le Qi to approach and break through.
There was only a slight south wind in the night, and the Wei army came from afar, not carrying too many fire-starters.
Ma Liang was just worried about Ma Chao's front camp, where round after round of rockets were projectile on the east bank of Lishui, faintly burning Ma Chao's camp.
Twelve miles away from each other, they could only barely see the dense rockets flying in the night sky, and no matter how many things were, Ma Liang couldn't guess.
On the east bank, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Lugong did not see the dam damaged for a long time, and did not dare to march downstream on the riverbed, so he could only send heavy infantry to attack in coordination and flank the defenders of the Machao dam.
The defenders resisted stubbornly, and the blood of both sides stained the riverbed red.
Seeing that the last hundred or so armor soldiers were still struggling to support, he could only carry out the final order, personally picked up the gavel, and prepared to strike at the dam stakes, but it was difficult to start.
"Quick! Liu Sima quickly release the water! β
A seriously injured soldier holding his abdomen shouted angrily, urging Liu Gan to release water and die together.
A soldier beside him with a severed hand said in a terrible voice: "Where are the reinforcements!" Where are the reinforcements! β
His severed hand was stuffed in a burqa and tightly bound, and he waved his sword with the other: "Hateful! I hate it! β
"Liu Sima, release the water!"
There are also sergeants who shout in the fight, if you don't release water, you will die, if you release water, there will be a ray of life, and you can also pull too many enemies to accompany the burial, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose anything!
The dam is not high, it is nearly one zhang and five feet high, and the whole dam body is still seeping.
It was not difficult to destroy the dam, Liu Gan ignored the raising of the gavel in the urging and smashed it down.
As Liu Gan knocked on a few reinforcement nodes, the dam burst open, and the torrent rolled the wood and crashed into the group of soldiers of the two armies who were fighting.
A log hit Liu Gan's helmet, and Liu Gan immediately lost consciousness.
The soldiers of the Han army and the Wei army who fought and entangled were swept away by the water flow and broken wood, except for the soldiers who escaped on the edge of the riverbed, all the soldiers who fought in front of the dam and the riverbed were treated equally in the face of the flood.
Whether you live or die depends on the destiny of heaven.
Li Jin, who was gray-eyebrowed, was supervising the battle on the riverbed, and there was nowhere to escape, and more than a dozen personal soldiers surrounded him, and they were scattered by the torrent together, rolling downstream in a whirlwind.
Ma Chao could hear the sound of the torrent rushing away, too many of the tents around him had been demolished, and those that had not been demolished were burning because they could not be demolished.
At this moment, Wei Jun also determined whether he himself was in the front camp, Li Xu saw that the river dam had collapsed, and found the sad Li Zhen and handed out a bag: "I don't know when Zhang, Le, and Dian will come to help in the war, if I die for the country, please send this thing to my brother." β
Li Zhen grabbed the bag with both hands and stuffed it into the gap in his armor.
Li Xu glanced up at the calm night sky, strode away with his halberd, and the pro-army gathered and followed.
Dongshan, seeing that Ma Chaoqian's camp was shrouded in a sea of fire, Ma Dai showed hesitation.
It can already be confirmed that the eastern part of the Wankou defense line is empty, and the headquarters of Yuzhou Thorn Shi Lugong is on the east bank of Lishui.
Is victory and honor important, or is Ma Chao and his brother important?
In the hesitation, he noticed the abnormality of the water, and he could still sit there.
"I want to rescue my brother, do you have any objections?"
Summoning the military officials, everyone could not see Ma Dai's face clearly in the dark, and could only hear the dry voice.
"May I follow the general!"
Don't hesitate, these military officials have agreed, it doesn't matter if the military discipline is not military discipline, and it is more important than anything else to keep Ma Chao.
Without Ma Chao, do you expect a five- or six-year-old Zhao Gong to shelter everyone from the wind and rain?
Ma Dai drew his sword and stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will light the torches and attack the headquarters of Lu Gong!" β
"The general has an order, light the torch...... Assault on Lugon! β
The military orders were spread one after another, and the military officials carrying the fire blew open flames one after another, ignited one torch after another, and passed the fire to each other, and a winding fire dragon appeared between the foot of Dongshan Mountain and Lishui.
Somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden firelight, Ma Dai mounted his horse and rode along the edge of the line and raised his sword: "Turn around and go backwards!" Destroy the enemy with me! β
Seeing the Dongshan Fire Dragon, Li Zhen hesitated, without Li Jin's guidance and allocation, he didn't know what to do.
Seeing the fire dragon coming from the north, he frowned again and again...... Suddenly, he shouted excitedly, pointing at the Dongshan Fire Dragon and shouting: "This must be Changping Hou's reinforcements!" All the soldiers, try their best to kill the enemy, and the meritorious service is today! β
"The Marquis of Changping is here to help!"
"That's the Changping Marquis reinforcements!"
Li Zhen made a judgment, the morale of the department burned, infecting Li Xu's department, and the second department rushed to the two gaps, and continued to compete with the defenders to push and shove, whoever was pushed down would basically be trampled to death.
Li Xu's halberd has been discarded, holding a shield and a sword to fight, hearing the cheers after the battle, he can't help but be excited, take a few steps back and raise his shield and raise his sword, slap the shield with his sword, and shout with a happy face: "Changping Hou!" The Marquis of Changping is reinforcing the troops! Our army wins! Changping Hou Wansheng! β
"Marquis Changping! Changping Hou Wansheng! β
Li Xu's department was originally Cao Xiu's old department, and they were all cheering and fighting bravely at the moment.
Ma Chao smiled evilly, he didn't need to be motivated, and the military officials everywhere also knew that the fire dragon that suddenly appeared in Dongshan was a friendly army.
The cries of the Wei army on the west bank reached the east bank, where LΓΌ Gong was sending people to lay reed curtains on the soaked river beach to facilitate the march of the army.
The dam collapsed, but the riverbank had been soaked for a long time, slippery and muddy for the armoured soldiers to move.
Hearing wave after wave of cheers on the other side, Lu Gong's doubts disappeared, he smiled, and personally ran to the riverside to supervise in the mud: "Quick! Quickly lay the grass bundles and pave the way for the army of the Marquis of Changping! β
He rubbed his hands excitedly, Zhang Liao had no future at all, it was better to follow the Marquis of Changping.
Wang Ling's death made Zhang Liao offend too many people, and if he had a choice, he didn't want to cooperate with Zhang Liao.
The face of the Marquis of Changping was big, and in the battle of Wudu, the Marquis of Changping defeated Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and the Han army suffered casualties.
During the period of filial piety, the emperor even sent two servants to pass the order to win the love...... The future general is definitely Cao Xiu, and following Cao Xiu is far more promising than Zhang Liao, Xiahou Shang, and Cao Zhen!
LΓΌ Gong is not an ordinary general, he is the leader of the state assassin history, and he is forced by the situation to go into battle.
In addition to supervising on the riverside, he also gathered more than 1,000 armor soldiers under his command together in order to show his own troops on the Cao Truce front and show his ability to manage the army.
