Chapter 259: Attacked

Da Da...

A horse flew from afar: "Lord, we saw on the mountain that there were ambush soldiers on the other side of the river, 8,000 to 10,000, mostly crossbowmen, who had set up a formation. ”

"As I expected." Yuan Xi turned around and said to the open jaw behind him: "We don't have a warship, so it's difficult to cross the river. What's your idea? ”

"Look for the shallows, wade through the water. Yuan Shang's troops are all arranged here, and if we don't cross the river from here, what can he do to us? My iron cavalry is a few miles away, can his infantry do it? When we found the shoals and waded through the water, he hadn't arrived yet. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Xi said: "Send someone to find it immediately." ”

"The last general has already sent someone, and I expect to have news from time to time."

Yuan Xi, Zhang Jaw, and Li Dian returned to the shade of a tree in the distance to rest for a while.

The dry food he brought was only wheat cakes, not even pickles.

Yuan Xi nibbled on one casually, drank two sips of water, and said, "Two generals, I have already received the news." Cao Cao sent his general Cao Ren to capture Banpujin. We are rushing to attack my Hedong County. Yan Liang was afraid that Hedong County would lose and cut off the back road, so the whole army returned to help and fought with Cao Ren. At this time, Qingzhou Yuan Tan also made a move, he personally led 50,000 troops, sailed across the river, and attacked the plains. ”

"My lord, this is the news I received last night, right?" Jaw asked.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi nodded.

It was the bats that delivered the message.

If it is delivered by light horse, I am afraid it will take a few days to be delivered.

Zhang Jaw said: "Hedong County has General Yan Liang's iron cavalry, and Cao Ren can't take advantage of it. There are also 15,000 defenders in the plain, and it is not easy for Yuan Tan to attack my Jizhou. On the contrary, it is the direction of Liyang, which makes people worry. A few days ago, it was a lot of trouble, but now there is no news? Didn't Cao Cao want to fight the Yellow River? ”

"Cao Cao is bluffing, don't you see it?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Bluffing?" He opened his jaw and said, "Won't it?" ”

"Won't? I'll just say two things to get to the bottom of it. First, Cao Cao's use of soldiers, has always paid attention to a strange word, if he wants to attack Liyang, as early as half a month ago, he unexpectedly crossed the river to attack, why do we need to make a fuss, so that we are fully prepared? Second, we have 15,000 naval troops in Liyang, which have been deployed on the Yellow River and can attack Cao Cao at any time. If Cao Cao wants to cross the river, he must first defeat our naval army. And Cao Cao's naval army stationed in Pingjin did not advance eastward, do you know why? Because he didn't intend to cross the river at all. He's just trying to make a big splash and contain our forces. ”

"I see..." It dawned on him.

"If it weren't for the Lord's justice, we would still be in the dark." Li Dian broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Cao Ren would capture Banpujin, and he is still rushing to attack my Hedong County." Yuan Xi took a deep breath and said, "It was beyond my expectations." ”

Zhang Jaw smiled: "He must be sincere in his meritorious service, and he wants to seize Hedong County for Cao Cao and lay a nail in my Hebei." It's a pity that with General Yan Liang's more than 40,000 iron cavalry, he will definitely be defeated. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi did not doubt that Yan Liang would win.

For the battle in Hedong County, he didn't worry too much, it was just an unexpected Cao Ren's rush attack.

Da Da...

After a long time, the soldiers who had gone to look for the shoals returned.

"My lord, fifteen miles upstream, there is a shoal. Although the water is turbulent, it cannot prevent the iron rider from crossing the river. "The soldier returns.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Xi got up and flipped over the four disagreements: "Two generals, order the whole army to go upstream and wade across the river." ”

"No..." Zhang Jaw and Li Dian passed the order.

Thousands rode away.

The soldiers who were lying in ambush on the opposite side also saw this scene. But nothing happened to them. Only the general who led this ambush army passed the news to Jinyang. However, there is still a distance from here to Jinyang, and when Yuan Shang receives this news, he is afraid that it will be outdated.

...................

A quarter of an hour later.

The army arrived at the shoals more than a dozen miles away.

As the soldier had said, the water in the shallows, though rapid, could not stop the strengthened horses.

Zhang Jaw himself tried it, and easily crossed the river.

"My lord, you can cross the river." Jaw shouted from the other side.

"Cross the river!"

With a wave of Yuan Xi's big hand, the iron horses behind him swarmed and waded across the river.

Heehi...

Roar!

Mammoths, Tyrannosaurus rex, King Kong giant apes, etc., also followed behind Yuan Xi to open the way for the army.

Hiss...

The Titan Python swam into the river and swallowed the snake letter.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh...

I don't know who shouted, and arrows flew in the sky, drowning the pioneer battalion and the wolf cavalry who were wading across the river, and many soldiers were killed by arrows. In this turbulent river, the soldiers could not resist, but could only be beaten passively, and the situation was very unfavorable.

"Soldiers listen to the order and cross the river quickly!" Li Dian shouted angrily.

"Rush over!" Yuan Xi was also taken aback, scolded the giant beasts behind him, and rushed to the other side.

For the behemoths, the arrows were like tickles, and they didn't work at all.

They picked up speed and went crazy.

Roar...

The Titan Python roared wildly, poked its head out, and swam over.

"Kill..." More than 200 pioneer battalions rode across the river, and with open jaws, they led them to the distant woods.

There were ambushes there, shooting arrows all the time.

Yuan Xi's four invoices flew into the sky to explore the terrain ahead. I saw that the woods were full of ambushes. On the flanks of the woods, there were more than 3,000 iron horsemen, ready for battle, and had already prepared.

If the army rushes into the woods, the three thousand iron horsemen will attack the flanks.

Yuan Xi flew down and ordered the Tyrannosaurus rex and all the mammoths: "To the west!" ”

Titan Python to the north.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

After the jaw opened and rushed into the woods, the Titan Python followed, relying on the snake body of more than ten meters, swinging wildly, not only destroying a large number of woods, but also causing huge casualties to the enemy.

"Ahh

"Snake!"

"Hurry up and release the arrows!" The leading general shouted.

Although Yuan Shangjun had been prepared for a long time, it was difficult to calm down the moment he saw the Titan Python.

They can only attack frantically, but not unexpectedly, how can an ordinary attack hurt a giant python?

"Hahaha... Well played! Seeing the bravery of the Titan Python, Zhang Jaw was overjoyed, and said behind him: "Brothers, kill them and defeat them!" ”

"Kill!"

With the help of the Titan Python, the more than 200 horsemen led by Zhang Jaw barely encountered any decent resistance.

And to the west.

The three thousand horsemen who had been prepared for a long time originally wanted to kill into the woods and attack Zhang Jaw on the side, but as soon as they moved, they encountered a Tyrannosaurus rex and eleven mammoths, lined up, and the shaking ground was booming loudly.

The three thousand horsemen did not dare to move again, some fled in fright, and some met them head-on.

Boom boom...

Wow!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex showed his superiority to the fullest, jumping over and striking a tail sweep that flew three cavalrymen. Stretched out his hand and grabbed a person, stuffed it into his mouth, and after biting it to death, he didn't eat it, and was spit it out again.
