May on the banks of the Yellow River is still very hot, especially in the afternoon, but the war has begun, there is no extra thought, under the scorching sun, Pujindu, located in the west of the river, has been killed to the point of white heat, nearly 10,000 troops on both sides are fighting hard with all their might, so that there are many casualties, blood stained the beachhead!

The Youzhou army is elite and good, but because it is crossing the river to attack, it naturally loses its geographical advantage; And since it is necessary to ferry people, the ordnance and materials carried are inevitably a little small; In addition, it is still the same sentence, there are only more than 1,000 people crossing the river at a time, so they do not have an advantage in the strength of the local battlefield!

Correspondingly, although the Kansai Army only has 5,000 people, although they are very worried because of the darkness of the Han army, but in the final analysis, they not only have 5,000 soldiers, but also a larger number of auxiliaries and Ding Zhuang, these people can still kill people with bows and crossbows and spears, and they even have a large battalion to rely on.

In this case, it is natural to play a loss of attrition that makes the Youzhou army heart-wrenching.

It can even be said that if there is a truce at this time, then according to the previous exchange ratio between the two sides, that Zhang Ji can definitely be among the world's famous generals, because there has never been a battle that caused so much damage to the elite of the Youzhou Army in the face of only 5,000 people.

Although there were a lot of attrition in the previous battle in Hedong, there were 100,000 opponents at that time!

Take Gao Shun's trap camp as an example, its department is a rare elite in the world, but it has fought repeatedly, from Jinyang City to Gaoliang Pavilion, from Gaoliang Pavilion to Maojin, from Maojin to Pubanjin in front of him, almost every battle is the first, so the loss is actually the largest, and it is also the most exhausting...... In the previous battle of Gaoliang Pavilion, the number of troops was reduced by thirty percent, and after the selection and replenishment of the surrendered troops, it was actually far less strong than when it went out.

Therefore, his troops should be the first to fall into battle, and by this time, more than 100 people have been killed and nearly 300 wounded.

And the camp is like this, not to mention the rest of the departments, the loss is that one side is fighting against the water, and there is no way back, and the other side supervises the team to strictly patrol and retreat to the latter, otherwise maybe some troops have begun to break and flee.

The fierce battle on the river beach continued, among them, the Youzhou army had firmly occupied three beachheads despite the casualties, and the follow-up reinforcements were also sent upwards in a steady stream, and it seemed that they had survived the most difficult moment and had the upper hand.

But......

"Brother Yuan Hao, what should I do if I can't take the camp before dark?" Lou Gui looked at the situation on the other side, and he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, this was the first time that Gongsun Xun had entrusted the power of command, and he Lou Zibo was the leader, how could he not be in a hurry? "The beachhead foothold is just a beachhead foothold, if you can't take the fortress to protect yourself, what will happen to Dong Min and Guo Yan here tomorrow? The enemy has an army of 10,000 and 5,000, and the inside and outside should be combined, how can those who have crossed hold on! ”

In other words, Lou Zibo's worries actually hit the nail on the head.

The so-called crossing the river and attacking, the most important thing is to gain a foothold, but the foothold is divided into two kinds, one is naturally a beachhead foothold, and the other is a tactical foothold from the perspective of a large corps, that is, to establish a stronghold on the opposite bank to ensure follow-up military operations, otherwise it is meaningless.

And there are no more than two plans for establishing a stronghold, one is to seize the city and the other to build its own base.

In terms of the present, how can you easily set up a base on the river beach in one night? It's not winter, and you can splash water on the spot to turn it into ice. Therefore, one can only hope to take the village.

When it comes to seizing the village, the problem now is that thanks to the courage and hard fighting of the Youzhou army, the beachhead foothold of the whole army is already worry-free, but in the absence of offensive ordnance and living troops, it is undoubtedly difficult for some strong people to let the soldiers who have been tired of fighting all afternoon go to snatch the enemy Dazhai that has been repaired and prepared for two months.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Ji on the other side of the river was able to grit his teeth and sit firmly on the platform of the big battalion was because he still had a large battalion, a sufficient number of auxiliary soldiers Ding Zhuang, and 15,000 reinforcements to serve as his rear hand. And you don't have to think about it, when the Youzhou army transports another 2,000 people before dark, and the situation is completely reversed, he will definitely start to retreat immediately and defend the barracks!

"Then fight at night!" Tian Feng looked at the battle situation on the other side of the strait with a gloomy face for a long time, and finally responded. "At this time, you must not hesitate, once you hesitate, you can only give up your efforts, but once you pass it, let alone the battle situation, the general trend of the world can suddenly open up!"

Lou Gui opened his mouth, in fact, he wanted to ask, not to mention how hard the soldiers fought at night, how dangerous the night ferry was, only that if another five or six thousand people were crossed at night, they still could not capture the camp...... On the second day, the elite of the whole army, who were exhausted to the extreme, was crushed by the enemy on the river beach, wouldn't the Youzhou army want to exist in name only?

When the time comes, it will be okay for others, as the actual decision-makers here, how will the three of them face Gongsun Xun?

However, Lou Zibo didn't speak after all, but nodded fiercely - without him, the soldiers in front of him are fighting, risking their lives to win or lose, and they are still gaining the advantage, as a decision-maker in the army, he can consider the worst-case scenario at this time, but he must not defeat them before the real danger comes.

Now is not the time to give up!

At the same time, across the Yellow River, on the rammed earth platform of the big battalion on the opposite bank, at this moment, Zhang Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantan Army, was sitting with a bloodstained steel knife under his banner, and then looked condescendingly at the battle on the river beach outside the camp, but he was also determined to fight to the death.

In other words, after careful calculation, Zhang Ji's determination is only about five points from the war...... After all, they are all soldiers, and after killing the red eye, no one is willing to easily let their previous efforts and sacrifices go to waste...... The other five points are from personal grudges. Don't forget, his nephew Zhang Xiu died under the knife of the Youzhou army!

Zhang Ji himself does not have a son, this nephew has the meaning of an adopted son by his side, raised to the crown, outstanding martial arts, transparent military strategy, and can be entrusted to the future when he sees it, but he was hacked to death on the river beach by the Youzhou army in a daze - until now, General Zhang Zhonglang does not know who the murderer is, but from the mouth of the defeated army, it is roughly concluded that it should be a character such as Baima Yicong under the command of Gongsun Xun.

And this is precisely the reason why he felt uneasy when he saw Zhao Zidaqi, he had carefully inquired about the leaders and young generals who were now outstanding in Bai Ma Yi - Zhao Yun, Tian Chou, and Tian Yu.

Therefore, it is ridiculous, but it is really terrible, the three flags of Ertian and Zhao that appeared on the river beach at this time are the things that make Zhang Zhonglang really firm in his determination, otherwise even if he kills the red eye, in terms of the casualties in front of him, Zhang Ji has already been shaken.

"Pass me the order!" The sun was setting in the west, and seeing that the Han army on the other side of the river was desperately organizing a new batch of new troops regardless of their hard work, but a lot of ordnance and equipment were carried onto the ship, Zhang Ji knew in his heart that the other party was preparing for a night battle, so he simply gave the order. "Let the troops retreat from far and near, according to the level, and prepare to enter the camp, you all go out and give orders in person!"

The surrounding guards never dared to slack off, and they went out of the camp to give orders in person.

In other words, this is also a last resort, because the war has come to this point, both sides are extremely tired, dead and wounded, and they don't have the heart to look at the Lingqi, and the sound of the Yellow River on the beachhead on the other side is very loud, which greatly interferes with the sound of drums and gongs on the battlefield, so if you want to pass the order, you can only let the Lingyu guards around these commanders personally carry it out.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the sound of the Yellow River flowing and the anxious summer sun also became a natural cover for another movement.

It was the condescending Zhang Ji, who inadvertently turned his head to the north after all the attendants left, and then he got up in astonishment - it turned out that when the sun was about to set, there was actually a puff of smoke and dust rolling from the north, and in the smoke and dust, a large group of soldiers and horses who couldn't even see the flag clearly had vaguely appeared.

In other words, Zhang Ji was not only the first person to discover this group of soldiers and horses, but also the only person on the battlefield who guessed the identity of the other party when he came up, so he really panicked...... However, by this time it was too late for anything!

That's right, it's Xu Huang and his subordinates!

Since crossing the river from Caisang seven days ago, Xu Gongming first ran for three days to attack a hundred miles and break Xiayang, and the next morning he set off again, and spent two days of effort to run seventy miles and break Haoyang, and now his people actually do not care about the hardship, just rest in the middle of the night, and then lead the troops again for a day and a half to run sixty miles to Pujin!

Along the way, few of the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were killed in battle, but in the middle of the tiredness, illness, heat stroke and fainting, all kinds of non-combat attrition reached more than 1,000 people, even a small number of marching mounts taken from Xiayang and Haoyang, and most of them died along the way.

Therefore, his troops came to the Pujin battlefield with great difficulty at this time, but only 4,000 tired men remained.

However, enough is enough.

"Zhang Quchang, with you a thousand people, raise my banner and storm the north gate of the camp!" Xu Huang saw the battle situation from afar, so he simply gave the order directly. "The rest of the army don't stop, follow me to attack the enemy outside the camp!"

After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, and did not take the spear, but pulled the axe from behind, and led the crowd straight to the beachhead, trying to lead the crowd in hand-to-hand combat.

Zhang Ji could see clearly on the high platform, but he couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again - how could he not understand the other party's tricks? This person knew that it was impossible for the battalion to be taken suddenly, and only killing and injuring the river beach troops was the best plan, but this person did not send the whole army to attack the troops on the beach, but instead divided the troops into a thousand fanfare to attack the camp, so that his troops outside the camp mistakenly thought that the camp might be in danger, so as to quickly fall into a state of vacillation, in order to achieve the greatest results!

It's so cunning!

On the other side, whether it was Lou Gui and Tian Feng on the other side of the river, or the generals who had already crossed the river, they were also surprised to see Xu Huang's banner appear outside the enemy camp!

As soon as the two sides fell together, one eliminated the other's strengths, plus a full 3,000 soldiers and horses swooped straight to the beachhead, but the battle situation on the river beach began to fall in an instant from the direction of Xu Huang upstream, and he saw that one wing of the Kwanti Army was about to collapse on the whole line.

Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then quickly calculated in his heart, he is now extremely sober, if he can't take the troops outside the camp back to the camp, sit back and watch the whole army collapse, not to mention whether his camp can hold at night, only that if he sits back and watch the hearts of the two wings of the army shake and rout and leave, then the enemy will take advantage of the sunset to be involved in the camp with the rout, how should he defend?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Ji knew that he could not hesitate, so he hurriedly gathered the last available troops in the battalion, collected more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, and then personally abandoned his sword and spear and got on the horse, opened the north gate of the camp, and prepared to break the enemy in front of him.

This was correct, because Zhang Ji's troops were the real new force, and the thousand-strong troops with Xu Rong's banner were actually exhausted to the extreme under the continuous march, and at this time, they were all fighting with the remaining momentum that was flowing downstream.

If you can break the feint attack of more than 1,000 people in public, you don't expect the troops who were attacked by Xu Huang on the upstream beachhead to come back alive...... It's really hard...... However, if the troops downstream regain confidence and retreat into the camp in an orderly manner, they can still continue to maintain the battalion.

However, Xu Gongming turned around and saw that Zhang Jiqi took the initiative to go out of the camp, but he also improvised and made a decision to completely change the battle - he actually turned around and led his troops to meet him in the direction of the camp gate, and outside the camp, the momentum of the feint attack instantly turned into a real attack!

On the other side, Zhang Ji's general, he no longer looked down on the main force of Xu Huang's department without a banner, and his people opened the camp door and went out to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly they bumped into Xu Huang's main force in front of him, and fell into a bitter battle!

At the same time, the main soldiers on both wings of the Xiliang Army saw Zhang Ji's banner to meet the enemy, but they could not break the enemy in front of them, but there was a tendency to be counterattacked.

Zhang Ji could not advance or retreat, the two wings of the Xiliang army gradually collapsed, at the critical moment, what really caused the collapse of the whole line was the new wave of reinforcements in Hedong, this is the real new force, since its troops came to Hexi, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the commander of its foothold, they rushed straight to an enemy army and completely defeated the other party!

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the Yellow River rolled southward, the entire army of Xiliang was defeated, Zhang Ji saw that the situation was not good, and was ready to forcibly retreat and close the camp gate, but was nailed by Xu Huang and chased all the way into the village!

"Won!" On the rammed earth general of the Hedong camp, Tian Yuanhao changed his previous cold face, clenched his fists and raised his arms.

And Lou Zibo was already sitting on the high platform.

On the other side, Zhang Ji fled into the camp in panic, and returned to the high platform to observe the situation with a spear, but as far as the eye could see, he saw that one side of the gate on the north and south sides had been squeezed in by Xu Ziqi, and even chased all the way to a short distance, but the other side was actually the first Zhao Ziqi to chase the rout army into the camp!

In this situation, how can he, as a general, not understand that the general trend has gone?

And as Zhang Ji's gaze swept over the stumps and broken arms, wounded soldiers and dead corpses on the river beach outside the camp, he felt that he was not only disappointed by Dong Zhuo, but also felt that he was disappointed by the soldiers, and even felt that he was disappointed by his nephew, who died young, so he simply threw down the spear, picked up the blood-stained knife on the ground, and directly killed himself on the platform...... He was forty-three years old.

On 17 May, the sun set completely, and thanks to Xu Huang's particularly outstanding performance, the Youzhou army captured Pujin in one day at the cost of heavy casualties.

At this time, Dong Min and Guo Yan of Huayin had just been summoned for help.

"Shaking through Caisangjin, running and fighting hard for days, the sergeants are all complaining, praying for a while, shaking is not allowed, or persuading: 'The army is also Hedong, why should you complain about the villagers and lose your reputation?' Huang sighed and said: 'The ancients did not suffer from the Ming Jun, but now they are fortunate to meet it, and they often use their merits to achieve their own results, so why use their private reputation? Then he urged the army to march quickly, and when he reached Pujin, he crossed the river and fought hard, and when he saw the battle, he raised his voice and raised the flag to attack the enemy's general Zhang Jiying, and personally turned the beachhead with an axe to fight. Seeing that the beachhead wanted to be bad, he rode more than 1,000 horses to fight, and immediately turned around and struck it, retreated, and then chased and feared to enter and break it. Ji Ji Yu Jiangtai, the rest of the people all surrendered, and Pujin was trapped. Taizu heard and said: "And the good use of soldiers in the ancient times, who did not run two hundred miles along the river for seven days to break two cities and take a village, Gongming this battle, can be said to be mighty soldiers, such as breaking bamboo, after a few sections, they are all solved."
