Chapter 215 The Battle Horse Soldiers Went Out of the Martial Pass and Crossed the Huai River to Win the Battle

Liu Feng arrived in Anfengjin and was personally received by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu arranged a grand welcome dinner for Liu Feng!

"The virtuous nephew has come from afar this time, and he has worked hard!" Yuan Shu opened his mouth and said!

"The mother of the family was very happy when she heard that Yuan Gong wanted to marry her daughter. And often say to me, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are rare in the world, and it is my blessing that I can take the daughter of Yuan Gong, so the little nephew rushed to Yuan Gong day and night to be hired, and when he became an adult, he will come to marry the daughter of Yuan Gong! Liu Feng replied!

"The virtuous nephew is dignified, I like it very much!" Yuan Shu opened his mouth and praised!

"Yuan Gong, the little nephew heard that Yuan Gong wanted to fight Yangzhou, so he specially took 5,000 war horses as a dowry, and I wish Yuan Gong to be invincible!" Liu Feng opened his mouth and said!

"Oh, that's very good, if I get another 5,000 horses, I should have 15,000 cavalry under my command, so that I can cope with a big battle!" Yuan Shu was quite happy when he heard this, as far as Yuan Shu, who occupied the rich land of Nanyang, was concerned, gold and silver treasures were naturally not particularly valued.

Now what Yuan Shu wants is nothing more than the chair after the world is determined, and what is more important than enhancing his strength at the moment? Liu Feng sent 10,000 war horses, and they were all high-quality war horses, which was enough to increase Yuan Shu's strength by several grades!

"Ming Gong, now that the young master is in An Fengjin, and he will study with Ming Gong for a period of time, is it possible to honor the things he communicated before?" Xun You, who was present at the meeting, opened his mouth and said!

"Naturally, I won't break my promise in this matter, but at this time, I haven't won the foundation land, if I send Nanyang out again, wouldn't it be self-destruction of the Great Wall? Can this matter be discussed again after I take a county in Yangzhou? Yuan Shu was slightly stunned, and then spoke!

"That's fine, but should the defenders of Ming Gong in Wuguan be withdrawn?" Xun Yu knew that Yuan Shu would definitely not let go of Nanyang at this time, so he was not discouraged, but continued!

"This is natural, after the banquet, I will write to Chen Lan and ask him to withdraw from Wuguan!" Yuan Shu agreed when he heard this!

"More Ming Gong, there is one more thing, I don't know when Ming Gong plans to attack Yangzhou?" Xun You asked again!

"This matter needs to be discussed again, because Gongda came, I have been in Anfengjin for more than a month, and now the whole Yangzhou has known that I will attack Yangzhou, and has been prepared! So this matter needs to be discussed again! Before Yuan Shu could speak, Yan Xiang on the side spoke!

"This matter is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible, Ming Gong, if I help Ming Gong to capture Lujiang, can Ming Gong hand over Nanyang to my master?" Xun You opened his mouth and said!

"Oh, Gongda has a strategy to seize the Lujiang River?" Yuan Shu was interested at this time, and then spoke!

"Now Ming Gong is stationed in Anfengjin, because Anfengjin is a big port, which can be used for Ming Gong's 200,000 troops to cross the Huai River!

However, there is not only one port on the Huai River, there are still several ports on the Huai River that can be used to cross the river! Xun You said!

"Gongda said that we have also thought about it, but these ports are small ferries, for thousands of soldiers and horses to cross the river, if it is tens of thousands of troops, it will inevitably take too long to be discovered by the other party, so I will not be able to win!" Yang Hong replied!

"Moreover, if only a few thousand troops can't play any role, that's why Yan Xiang will say that this matter needs to be discussed again!" Yang Hong said again!

"It's true that if it's just an ordinary thousands of soldiers, it really can't help, but if it's two thousand five hundred tigers and leopards brought by the young master, it's not!" Xun You said!

"If Duke Yuan believes in the words of Uncle Xun and his little nephew, he can lead the army across the Huai River and take the Lujiang River for Duke Yuan, okay?" Liu Feng followed and said!

"Even if Gongda and the virtuous nephew have such confidence, I naturally won't allow it." Yuan Shu also said happily!

That is, Ming Gong agreed to this. We discussed this, and the young commander and general left the camp tomorrow and arrived at the rear of the Lujiang army ten days later. At that time, I will discuss with Ming Gong when to cross the river......" Xun You said!

In fact, it is a simple battle of pincers, Liu Feng led 2,500 tigers and leopards to ride behind Liu Li's army in Lujiang to assault Liu Li, and assist Yuan Shu's army to cross the river, as long as Yuan Shu's army crosses the Huai River, the overall situation of this battle will be decided!

On the second day, Xun Yu took Wen as the main general, Liu Feng as the deputy general, and led Ma Chao and Huang Xu to lead two thousand five hundred tigers and leopards to ride, Liu Fengwei went to the lower reaches of the Huai River, and found a ferry in Gushi County, and then Liu Feng led all the tigers and leopards to ride quietly across the Huai River in the middle of the night!

Stepping into the territory of Lujiang, Wen Ping ordered all the tiger and leopard knights to march day and night, and finally arrived behind Liu Li's army in Lujiang three days later, and lurked!

At the same time, Wen Ping also sent scouts to cross the river to Yuan Shu's camp to find Xun You, and discussed with Xun You about the time to send troops! After that, Xun You went to Yuan Shu's camp overnight.

"Duke Ming, the young lord has led the army to arrive at the designated place and lurk, and sent scouts to agree with me to cross the river tomorrow to attack the Lujiang River, and then the young lord will lead the army to kill behind Liu Miao and assist the Duke of Ming to cross the river!"

"So good." Then Yuan Shu dispatched troops that night and ordered Lei Pu to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard to take the lead in crossing the river and block Liu Xuan's army!

Then he ordered Liang Ji to lead 30,000 troops to build a pontoon bridge, Ji Ling led 50,000 troops to cross the pontoon bridge to attack Liu Xuan, and he personally led 100,000 troops to press the Chinese army!

Early in the morning of the second day, preparations began to be made in the Yuan Shu camp, and all the situations in the Yuan Shu camp were naturally detected and informed by the scouts.

When Liu Miao learned of this, he knew that Yuan Shu wanted to lead his troops to attack Lujiang, so he personally led an army of 50,000 to line up on the south bank of the Huai River, with 20,000 archers in front and 30,000 sword and shield soldiers behind!

At the end of the day, Lei Pu led an army of 20,000 to cross the river in turn in the boats prepared earlier, but he was mercilessly shot by 20,000 archers of Ke Liu Xuan as soon as he was halfway through!

At this time, Liang Ji led an army of 30,000 to build a pontoon bridge about ten zhang wide behind the ships of the Lei Pu army!

Although the 20,000 army led by Lei Pu was shot by Liu Xuan's army, due to the long distance, not many of them were really shot! So it was also difficult to advance, but as we got closer to the south shore, the number of people who fell into the water continued to increase, and even though the archers on the ship fought back, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger!

At this moment, a neighing sound of war horses and a rumbling sound sounded behind Liu Xuan's army!

Wen Ping led the tiger and leopard cavalry to kill behind Liu Xuan's army at the critical moment of crossing the river, and Liu Xuan naturally did not expect that there would be an elite cavalry behind him, and the people who were killed in the 50,000 army suddenly turned on their backs!

Moreover, Wen Ping's purpose was not to kill the soldiers at all, but to penetrate the entire Lujiang army formation, so 2,500 tigers and leopards rode all the way to the river bank under the leadership of Wen Ping, Liu Feng, Ma Chao and Huang Xu.

And the entire Lujiang army was attacked by the cavalry, pursued, and constantly rushed to the riverbank. There are countless people who have fallen into the water, and there is no way to organize an effective defense against the tiger and leopard riders of Wen Ping and the pioneer of Lei Pu's river crossing!

In the end, Lei Pu paid another 12,000 soldiers to reach the south bank of the Huai River! Then he fought with Liu Xuan's army!

And Wen Jian Lei Pu had already gained a firm foothold on the south bank, so he led the tiger and leopard cavalry to adjust the direction and leave the battlefield!

After Lei Pu, Liang Ji also built a pontoon bridge to the south bank of the Huai River, and Ji Ling led an army of 50,000 to kill Liu Xuan's army from the pontoon bridge!!

With such an army of nearly 100,000 people, where can Liu Xuan's military formation just been dispersed by cavalry be able to resist, after a day of fierce fighting, Liu Xuan led 10,000 disabled people to leave the battlefield and disperse all the way to Zhishu County, Lujiang County.

And the first battle of Yangzhou, which was originally regarded as the most difficult by Yuan Shu, was easily won at a slight price of more than 20,000 soldiers paid by Yuan Shu!
