Chapter 856: Xun Chen's Calculations
Xinbi Army Cen Bi and Yin Kai were directly killed by Wei Yan and Guan Ping, if it weren't for Zhu Ling's worry that Xin Bi was not Xu Shu's opponent and led his troops to respond, I'm afraid that Xin Bi also went to see his brother that day, and Xin Xianying would have no father, saying that Xin Xianying is now five years old......
In short, the current situation is that Xu Shu is like a hanger, beating his predecessor Xin Bi to the death, and humiliatingly surrounded the city where the strong forces are located with weak troops, almost blowing up Xin Bi, but the air bomb is gas bombing, it should not be beaten, it still can't be beaten!
Similarly, the cooperation between Wei Yan and Xu Shu is becoming more and more tacit, and the recognition of Xu Shu's unreasonable orders is getting higher and higher, according to Xin Bi's words, Xu Shu's evil nature is not good.
With less than 10,000 troops, he surrounded Ganling, the place of Qinghe Zhi, and Xu Shu had no other good way to take down the fortified city of Ganling, on the one hand, his main soldiers were only 5,000, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to consume many elite soldiers in the siege battle.
After such a stalemate, Xu Shu was also helpless, not that he was not strong enough, but when he encountered this kind of defense by the city, the other party was also complete in civil and military affairs, with a lot of troops and sufficient food, and it would be a headache for anyone to come.
However, after two days of headaches, Xu Shu began to change his thinking and began to hook up with Qinghe's family, although Liu Bei's family has many restrictions, but whether it is good or not, all the families must be recognized, as long as they follow the responsibilities stipulated by Liu Bei, life is still very good.
Since then, there is a need to continue to negotiate, Xu Shu decisively went to talk to the Cui family of Qinghe, that is, the Cui family, one of the top families in Hebei, and let this Cui family not Cui Zhouping's Boling Cui family. It's the Qinghe Cui family.
To be precise, the Qinghe Cui family has been leveled by Cui Zhou a little miserably, and in this case, Xu Shu saw a glimmer of other possibilities. It is said that Xu Shu has his own guess about Cui Zhouping's behavior, or it should not be said to be a guess. It's about having an accurate grasp.
In this situation, Xu Shu has a certain grasp of how to cut the Qinghe River from Jizhou, the family only pays attention to its own family, which is also a breakthrough point, especially Cui Yan of the Cui family in Qinghe is indeed a very capable figure, and only with ability can he have foresight.
Of course, many of the current situation of the Qinghe Cui family was forced out by Cui Zhouping, and it is said that the Qinghe Cui family can be forced to this point, Cui Zhouping's ability is not a joke, and it is impossible to say the subsequent vision and choice of the Qinghe Cui family. is also within Cui Zhouping's calculations.
Under such circumstances, Yu Ban led two thousand strong crossbowmen to the opposite side of the Yellow River, but it did not mean that the ban reached the opposite side, a large number of bed crossbow arrows were shot towards their boats, and then under Xu Sheng's control, a group of ships went directly down the river, and soon the bed crossbows could not shoot because of the distance.
"Where are we going now?" Xu Sheng looked at Yu Ban and asked.
"Go ahead and seduce them." Yu Ban said calmly, Xu Sheng smiled and rowed the boat towards the opposite side, and there was another large rain of arrows. The trolls slowly retreated again, with little to lose.
After going back and forth like this a few times, even if the other side was stunned, they understood that Yu Ban was teasing them. In this way, as long as Yu Ban didn't get too close to them, the group of Yuan Shaojun guarding on the other side of the river would not react violently.
"I guess the other side really thinks that we don't have a strong crossbow and a bed crossbow, it's really uninsightful!" Mi Fang said with a smile. "With such a big ship, they really think it's a means of transport, Wen Xiang. Wait a moment to get closer to the Bright guy and let the other side know how good we are. Get the trolls ready. ”
"Crossbowmen, torches, and fire pots are all ready, and we will definitely let the other side know how powerful we are in a while." Xu Sheng slowly drove the boat to a hundred steps away from the other side of the river, although Yuan Shaojun on the opposite side was on guard, he did not attack, he had been deceived by a lot of arrows before, and they would not always be so stupid.
Then Xu Sheng's boat slowly drifted to a distance of fifty paces, at this time, although some Yuan Shaojun was a little concerned, but most of Yuan Shaojun still looked at the big boat that slowly came with the current with indifferent eyes, for the idea of shooting the boat with a bed crossbow and shooting and sinking, after some previous temptation, Yuan Shaojun had been extinguished.
As for other ideas, Yuan Shaojun, who has not been exposed to water warfare, basically does not, they are used to land warfare, there is no such thing that the enemy cannot be contacted, in their habits, the enemy can attack them, they can also attack the enemy, and then the rain of arrows came.
A large rain of arrows struck, and many Yuan Shaojun fell directly to the ground, and the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, who were originally used as hand-to-hand combat protection, found that they had no way to contact the enemy at all, and the archers who could attack the opponent had fallen a lot because of the dense arrow rain of the opponent.
The moment the rain of arrows hit, Liu Bei's navy's ships suddenly accelerated and quickly docked, and then before the opposite side could react, many sailors rushed down and took advantage of the chaos to kill a lot of Yuan Shaojun.
More than 2,000 strong crossbowmen, plus more than 500 sailors, quickly took down all the two tuns where Xun Chen was stationed on the opposite side of the Yellow River to block Liu Ye's construction of pontoon bridges.
Thinking about it, Xun Chen didn't think that after Liu Ye called the navy, he didn't cross the river from other undefended places, but chose to force the crossing from the most dangerous place, and I am afraid that he didn't think that the defensive weapon he arranged was mainly a bed crossbow, supplemented by a bow and crossbow, and the two tuns of the sword and shield spearmen would lose so aggrieved again.
In fact, there is no problem with Xun Chen's arrangement, the most suitable way to stop Liu Ye from building the pontoon bridge is Xun Chen's current layout, and this arrangement is also always deterring Liu Beijun who built the pontoon bridge.
If Liu Beijun crossed the river from other places to the other side of the river, then the first task would be to come along the river to destroy the two tuns.
Xun Chen arranged a lot of small beacon towers on the other side of the river, just waiting for Liu Ye to rely on the navy to come and destroy the two tuns on the other side of the river, and then the wolf smoke and beacon fire together, and the wolf cavalry directly destroyed the army that crossed the river, not seeking to kill the enemy, just to hit the morale of Liu Beijun.
This is also the reason why those two tuns are mainly bows and crossbows, you must know that Xun Chen saw with his own eyes that Hua Xiong received thousands of Xiliang iron horses from Li Dao, and he could disgust Liu Ye, and Xun Chen was also happy to do it.
After cleaning up all the Yuan Shaojun, Mi Fang also slowly disembarked, and then walked only two hundred steps forward before there was an accident.
"I'll go!" Mi Fang stepped on the air, and then almost ate a, then stood up and looked at the hole on the ground that was about the size of a bowl and about half a foot deep, and was stunned for a moment, and then looked forward, a large area of weed-covered trap pits, this is Mi Fang still doesn't understand what he wants to do.
