"What?"

"General Yu, Lord Taishou marched to Mengjin in a hurry yesterday, preparing to attack Mengjin!" The Hanoi soldier looked anxious and said quickly: "Han Cheng is worried that our army will be defeated. But to no avail of dissuasion, he sent the villain to hurry back and asked General Xiang to go to Mengjin at full speed to rescue! ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he shouted angrily: "Confused Wang Kuang, if Dong Zhuo is so good-looking, does he need our coalition forces to resist?" ”

"Don't be angry, now discussing countermeasures is the first priority!" Zhao Yun reminded him.

"Go down and rest!" Xiang Ao calmed down and said to the Hanoi soldiers: "General Ben will send troops immediately after consulting with the generals!" ”

"Thank you, General Xiang! Thank you, General Xiang! ”

"Awe, quickly enter the city to investigate, the authenticity of the information!"

"No!"

Looking at Dian Wei's departing figure, Xiang Ao had already believed ninety percent of the news from the Hanoi soldiers. As for letting Dian Wei investigate, Xiang Ao wanted to know how many soldiers and horses Wang Kuang had taken away, and how many soldiers and horses were available in Huai County. Dian Wei traveled very quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he rushed back.

"Lord, the news is true!" Dian Wei kicked slightly and said: "Wang Taishou led nearly 6,000 elites, and now there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, 1,000 county soldiers, and 2,000 recruits left in Huai County. ”

Xiang Ao frowned when he heard this. If Wang Kuang led most of the elite to the front line and was annihilated, Xiang Ao would be left with thousands of soldiers and horses, let alone attacking Mengjin, but I am afraid that the confrontation would be powerless.

"Order it now!" Xiang Ao said with a solemn face: "Breakfast and dinner!" Eat breakfast within half an hour, and send the whole army to Mengjin! ”

"No!" When Dian Wei saw Xiang Ao's face, he knew that the military situation was urgent, turned around and strode out.

"Zilong!"

"The last general!"

Xiang Ao took out the seal of the hussar general from his arms, and then said with a resolute face: "Take the seal of this general, go to the county office, and lead out a thousand county soldiers and a thousand recruits." Huai County officials must be required to prepare enough horses, grain and grass! If there is anyone who does not obey, behead! ”

"No!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists, answered the order in a deep voice, turned around and walked out of Xiang Ao's military tent.

After a while, Zhao Yun led his hundred guards and rode towards Huaixian County.

Xiang Ao was worried that if Wang Kuang was really defeated, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, it would be a big blow to the momentum of the coalition army and would have a great impact on future battles. Dong Zhuo must have military talents under his account, how could he let go of such a good opportunity? However, if you want to defeat Wang Kuang, you must cross the river and fight. Xiang Ao thought about it, and slowly came to the front of Yutu, his eyes staring sharply at Xiao Pingjin, sixty miles west of Mengjin.

"Paddle, paddle! Don't stop, paddle! Wang Kuang waved the long sword in his hand, blocked the arrows that were constantly being thrown from the opposite bank, and ordered loudly: "With the help of the straw man to block, the rest of the soldiers protect the oarsmen soldiers!" Burn the wind! ”

"Bang..." Wang Kuang, who had just taken a break, looked at the arrows that were only two slaps away from him, and the arrow feathers were still buzzing and trembling, and he was also a little afraid in his heart.

There were too many arrows, and Dong Jun's arrows didn't seem to be made with money, and the rain poured down towards Wang Kuang's fleet.

Although there are waterways in the area of Sili, Jizhou and Yuzhou, it is slightly difficult to cross the Yellow River when it goes out, and the rest are small streams. Compared with the shipbuilding skills in various parts of the south, the shipbuilding technology in Sili and other places is a little backward. It is also because of this that there are few building ships in Sili and Jizhou, and most of them are medium-sized or small ships such as rushes, assaults, fighting ships, and scouts. And this time, Wang Kuang used the most raids and fighting ships.

The raiders and fighting ships did not carry many people, ranging from 30 to 300 people on each warship. In this way, the 4,000 soldiers and horses who crossed the river also took nearly 100 warships, and it was also extremely spectacular to spread across the Yellow River. Especially the countless straw men on each warship, from a distance, there were too many soldiers to attack Mengjin.

The straw man's blocking also reduces the power of the arrows a lot, and if it is not for too much luck, the armor or leather armor on most soldiers can also resist. Even if there was a straw man blocking it, there were still unfortunate soldiers who were hit by arrows that passed through the straw man, but the injury was much smaller than the normal hit, which made Wang Kuang also feel very relieved.

"Dudu, Wang Kuang is not too stupid, he used so many straw men to block arrows!" Guo Yan laughed rarely, and seemed to have some praise for Wang Kuang.

"Huh!" Li Ru smiled a little fiercely: "Straw man! If you slam the fire and miss... Hey! ”

Guo Yan looked at Li Ru and smiled, didn't he want to come like this?

Fortunately, the Xiliang Army is not good at water warfare, and Han Hao is happy at the same time, vigilantly observing the overall situation. Although Han Hao lived in a mountainous place when he was a child, he was not accustomed to water. But Han Hao, who was born in poverty, has been studious since he was a child, especially after being recruited by Wang Kuang, he has time to read classics and visit famous people. In this form, if the Xiliang army releases a few oil tankers, the Hanoi army will be doomed.

As for the fire loss, hehe, Han Hao smiled lightly. When Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses stared at the feather arrows and rushed to the center of the Yellow River, Guo Yan was ruthless.

"Fire unprepared!"

"Boom..."More than 2,000 archers behind Guo Yan ignited the fire arrows, making a series of dull sounds, like a monster roaring in a low voice.

"Put!"

"Bang..." There was another dull loud noise, and the two thousand fires prepared by Guo Yan's soldiers and horses were gone. Puff puff puff..."The fire was sealed in the air and cracked incessantly, and after a while, it slammed into Wang Kuangjun's warship.

However, Han Hao had prepared in advance, not only was the straw man soaked by whom, but even the deck and the side of the ship were full of stagnant water. Han Hao even asked people to prepare enough basins filled with water on each battleship, ready to fight fires at any time. In this way, the result of Wang Kuangjun's fire failure was not as drowned in the sea of fire as Li Ru and Guo Yan imagined.

Although it had been precautioned, the hull of the ship was made of wood, and even if it was prescient, there were still some ships that could not resist the burning arrows of tung oil.

Although Wang Kuangjun was mostly frightened when he boarded the ship, he saw that the effect of the wet grass man gave a lot of courage to the soldiers, even if the fire began to spread on a few warships, as long as they were not sent to death without resistance, there was hope for life and victory for the soldiers. The world is so big, and it is not only Xiliang or Bingzhou soldiers and horses who are brave warriors, as long as they can see hope, everyone can burst out of their potential.

Seeing this, Han Hao hurriedly called over to more than 100 overseers on Wang Kuang's war ship, and ordered everyone to shout with him: "Try to extinguish the fire, if it really doesn't work, try to jump off the ship and escape as soon as possible!" "The warships spread out on the Yellow River, which is really far away, and there is a turbulent river, and it is extremely difficult for one person's shouting to get out at this time.

"Huh! Interesting! Li Ru saw that the fire was lost and did not establish the results of the battle as he imagined, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and chuckled gloomily.

Guo Yan on the side also frowned, at this moment, the thousands of cavalry in Xiaopingjin estimated that the landing was almost complete. If Wang Kuang's landing in Mengjin is successful, the battlefield will be transferred to Mengjin, wouldn't Guo Bian's arrangement be in vain, how could Guo Bian allow it? Guo Yan, who had been thinking for a moment to no avail, turned his head to Li Ru and said, "Can the captain have a plan to beat Wang Kuang back to the other side before landing on the shore?" ”

"How much tung oil is there in the camp?" Li Ru also frowned slightly.

"About Mo Qianhu!"

"Take out 500 Hu and dump it along the river!" After Li Ru calculated a little in his heart, he said to Guo Yan.

"Five hundred ?!!!" Guo Yan exclaimed.

"Yes, five hundred hundred!"

"Just let Wang Kuang not cross the river? Worth it? ”

"As long as Wang Kuang is defeated on the other side, it's worth it!" Of course, Li Ru thought further than Guo Yan, since Wang Kuang created a good opportunity to rub the momentum of the coalition army, how could it not be worth it?

"Okay!" Guo Yan didn't understand, but Li Ru was the governor of Mengjin, so Guo Yan had to take the order.

"All in full speed paddling, Meng Jin is right in front of you!" Wang Kuang saw that the crossing of the Yellow River, which was nearly 200 zhang long, was about to be crossed, and he shouted excitedly, and even ordered the banner soldiers to order the whole army.

"Boom!" What Wang Kuang didn't expect was that when he was about twenty zhang away from the riverbank, there was a loud bang, and the riverbank in the Mengjin area caught fire. When Wang Kuang took a closer look, he found that all the floating on the river was tung oil. The fire started from the edge of Mengjin and quickly spread in the direction of the spread of tung oil. The amount of tung oil was too much, and without waiting for Wang Kuang's reaction, tung oil began to spread towards Wang Kuang's warship fleet.

"Retreat, full speed back, full speed back away!" The spread was terrifying, and Wang Kuang shouted and gave a military order. The messenger was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand to give Wang Kuangjun's order.

The sky is not beautiful, at this time, the south wind is blowing! The fire took advantage of the wind, and the flames on the river quickly roared towards Wang Kuangjun.

"Ahh Help me! Even if they retreated at full speed, many warships did not escape like fierce beasts, and in an instant, more than a dozen warships were on fire through the raging flames. The fresh water that was originally poured on the straw man and the fire on the deck was dried in a moment, and the dried straw man was even more crushed by the soldiers' desire to survive at this time, and was swallowed by the sea of fire in a moment.

"It's poisonous!" Wang Kuang gritted his teeth and looked at Li Ru and Guo Yan who were standing on the edge of Mengjin Ferry, and his heart was full of resentment.

"Retreat, retreat, the whole army retreats!" In just a few moments, twenty or thirty warships were engulfed in flames, and there was no trace of them in the sea of fire. And what was devoured was the warship that rushed to the front with the largest number of people. Fortunately, the spread of tung oil slowed down, and most of the warships retreated out of the safe zone. After slowing down the speed of the ship, Wang Kuang's figure appeared on the deck, looking at the raging flames on the river, Wang Kuang's heart was blocked.

"Retreat!" Although the fire on the river receded quickly and might be extinguished in less than half an hour, Wang Kuang didn't know if Li Ru and the others still had more tung oil. The soldiers who remained on the shore dragged the boat, which was struggling to row back, ashore in less than an hour.

Coupled with the soldiers on the shore, Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses were less than 3,000, all of them were disgraced, and his eyes revealed fear. Wang Kuang saw that the soldiers had no intention of fighting again, and sighed in his heart, so he ordered everyone to leave the river bank and prepare to rush back to the camp.

However, the Xiliang Army did not intend to let Wang Kuang leave so easily. Wang Kuang, Han Hao, and the rest of the soldiers felt that the earth began to tremble, and a rumbling sound came from the west. "Boom..."

"Traitor Wang Kuang, take your life!" In the blink of an eye, a very thick black line appeared on the slightly flat bank to the west, and an angry roar was heard at the same time.

"Not good, cavalry!" After being stunned, Wang Kuang reacted, and said loudly in panic: "The cavalry go back to the camp and get on the horse, go back to the camp and get on the horse, and prepare for battle!" ”

"Foot soldiers form a formation on the spot, quickly form a formation!" Even if Wang Kuang was calm and gave a military order, it was correct, but at this time, how could Wang Kuangjun, who was discouraged, escape the fate of being completely annihilated by Li Ru?
