Early the next morning, when the allied forces were still preparing for an active attack, they did not expect that the Huainan Army had already taken the lead in crossing the river to attack them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first wave of the attack was only a temptation, launched by a thousand men led by Wang Yu.

At this time, the sky had just brightened, the sun had not yet risen, the weather was not too hot, and the morning fog on the river had not yet dispersed, just to cover the Huainan Army's crossing of the river.

1,000 Huainan soldiers waded across the river in a procession, and the cool and slowly flowing river water only overflowed their waists, which did not affect the soldiers' crossing of the river at all.

The coalition forces on the opposite side seemed to be still asleep, and they did not react.

At this time, the sleepy-eyed soldiers had just crawled out of the tent and began to pack up and put on their armor.

They were ordered to prepare for an attack today, and only tomorrow they would begin to send troops across the river to attack the enemy.

In the eyes of many people, their side has far more troops than the enemy army, and if they want to attack, they will also take the initiative to attack, so they naturally do not expect that the enemy army will be the first to attack.

At this time, while the coalition soldiers were busy packing up their things and there was chaos everywhere, the soldiers with pointed ears tilted their heads, as if they heard a faint noise in the river.

"What's that sound?" A soldier asked in a whisper.

No one around him paid any attention to him, but gradually, the noise from the river grew louder and louder, and more soldiers heard it.

The coalition forces camped in the woods on the banks of the river to escape the scorching sun. There was also a small stretch of sand between the woods and the river, which was the tidal flat by the river, but unfortunately it was shrouded in a thin layer of fog at this time, and it was impossible to see the movement on the river surface clearly.

"Looks like an enemy has crossed the river?" Although the coalition soldiers heard the louder and louder noise, they still couldn't believe that the enemy had taken the initiative to attack so quickly.

It was not until the Huainan army had crossed the river and began to land that the coalition soldiers woke up from a dream, and the coalition troops at this time were not prepared at all, and suddenly became a little panicked.

"Hurry up and meet the enemy! Hurry up and meet the enemy! ”

Hundreds of soldiers who had been lazy and lazy before hurriedly drew their bows and arrows and shot at the Huainan army that was landing on the shore, but the results were very few, only a few unlucky soldiers fell from arrows, and they could not stop the Huainan army's crossing of the river at all.

The other Allied officers seemed to notice this, and hurriedly shouted loudly for the soldiers to start lining up to meet the enemy, but the process was chaotic.

"The training level of the coalition army is really far inferior to our army, and we even found out when our army touched here!" Wang Yu couldn't help muttering.

Facing the rain of arrows that were not so fierce as the coalition army, Wang Yu landed on the south bank very smoothly, but the coalition side was still in chaos at this time.

"Brothers, rush with me!" Wang Yu did not hesitate at all, and launched an attack on the enemy.

Their strength was small, only 1,000 men, but the army had 60,000 men, and even if the enemy army was too long because the battle line was too long, and the enemy troops distributed on both flanks could not cope with the battle on the middle line, the enemy strength on the center line was not something that his 1,000 troops could deal with.

Therefore, it is best to launch a fierce attack before the enemy army can react.

was attacked by him, and the coalition forces in front of him could not resist at all, and they were unable to form an army for a while, and Wang Yu easily occupied the tidal flats.

"This ......" Wang Yu was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect the enemy army to retreat so quickly.

However, he also knew that the enemy army had a large number of troops, and only a small part of them had retreated, and the main force of the enemy army did not move at this time.

Now he was only taking advantage of the surprise attack, and it was obviously impossible to defeat the enemy army.

"It's a pity that the governor didn't cross the river to attack the main force at this time, otherwise he might have defeated the enemy army at this time!" Wang Yu thought in his heart.

Of course, he also knew that they were only crossing the river with a thousand people now, and naturally their momentum was small, and it was not easy to attract the attention of the enemy, but if the whole army crossed the river, the movement would be a bit big, and it would be difficult to achieve the effect of such a surprise attack.

"The task given to me by the Governor is to test the reality of the enemy's army, so I will concentrate my forces and rush forward to see how quickly the enemy can react and deploy his troops! After waiting for half an hour, no matter what the war is, the troops will definitely have to retreat and go back......" Wang Yu thought to himself.

On the other side, the coalition forces that had been attacked quickly spread the news to Wei Quanyi.

"Are you saying that the enemy suddenly crossed the river and attacked?" Wei Quan's face was full of surprise, and the actions of the Huainan Army obviously exceeded his expectations.

"Why did you call all of a sudden? Shouldn't the enemy army be arrayed along the ivory pool and wait for our army to attack? At least the enemy army is coming from afar, and they should rest for a while before attacking! ”

It's a pity that no one came to dispel his doubts.

"How many troops did the enemy have crossed the river? How's the war going? ”

"Marshal Qiqi, the enemy army is not much, there should be only about 1,000 people, but their offensive is very fierce, and the losses of our army are ......" Speaking of this, the messenger said with some hesitation: "Our army's losses are extremely serious!" ”

"What? Only a thousand people dare to attack? So how many people did our army really lose? ”

"The losses of our army should be more than two thousand people, and at the moment the enemy army is still launching a fierce attack on our camp, their offensive is too fierce for our army to resist!"

"Irresistible?" Wei Quanxian suddenly became angry, the enemy army was only a thousand people, but his own side had an army of 60,000; It is also too incompetent to besiege a thousand men with an army of 60,000 people, and instead of defeating the enemy, they have suffered heavy losses.

"What are you doing? Gather your forces to surround the enemy! If a thousand enemy troops are allowed to slaughter among the ten thousand troops of our army, and then return to the north shore safely, the old man's face will be lost! Wei Quanxian roared loudly at the generals in the camp.

If the enemy's attack of 1,000 men cannot be resisted, then when the enemy's tens of thousands of troops come over, won't the whole army fall apart? So what else is the lord of Jiangxi? Even if Fuzhou doesn't need to go back, it's better to surrender directly to the enemy.

Under the urging of Wei Quansar, the coalition forces finally broke out with a speed of action that was unattainable in ordinary times, and it did not take long to prepare and begin to surround the 1,000 Huainan troops who crossed the river.

It's a pity that the reason why Zhou Ben asked Wang Yu to withdraw within half an hour no matter what, was to consider that the coalition army might be ready within half an hour, and if he didn't withdraw, he might fall into the enemy's heavy encirclement.

At this time, before the formation of the enemy's encirclement, Wang Yu decisively disengaged from the enemy and began to retreat.

When they retreated to the river, Wang Yu counted the number of people and found that his losses were only more than two hundred, and the enemy troops they had killed and wounded should be more than ten times their casualties, and he was immediately extremely satisfied.

"Cross the river at once, and let the enemy army follow us and eat ashes!" Wang Yu said loudly, causing the soldiers to burst into laughter.

This battle was just a test to see the enemy's deployment, morale, reaction ability, etc., and after this trial, Wang Yu already knew what he wanted to know, the enemy's combat strength and various preparations were worse than he thought!

Not to mention Wang Yu's safe retreat on the other side, on the other side, Wei Quanxian saw that the coalition army was attacked by a thousand enemy troops, not only suffered heavy losses, but also finally let the enemy flee back to the north bank safely, Wei Quanyan suddenly became furious.

"Immediately cross the river and pursue! Command the other two places to cross the river together and outflank them from both flanks! ”

Originally, according to the plan of the danger, it should have been waited until tomorrow when it was ready, and the river should be crossed from the two wings first, and the middle lane should be crossed at the end; However, at this time, the furious danger was unable to control the previous deployment, and strictly ordered all departments to cross the river immediately, and the order of crossing the river became the middle road to cross the river first, and then the two wings.

Of course, Wei Quanyan did not completely lose his mind, the reason why he chose to cross the river at this time was also because he felt that taking advantage of the enemy's defeat and retreat at this time to pursue and kill could expand the results of the battle.

It's just that he didn't expect that Wang Yu took the initiative to retreat, not retreat after being defeated by them!

Trying to expand the results of the battle by chasing the enemy army is obviously a bit taken for granted!

At this time, the sun had risen, the fog on the river was gradually dissipating, and the two armies facing each other across the river could clearly see each other's movements.

Seeing that the coalition side was arranging a formation, as if he was planning to follow Wang Yu behind him to cross the river and pursue, Zhou Ben couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed again: "Danger is all ironic and self-defeating, and this general will fulfill him!" ”

His original plan was to deploy troops to launch an attack after Wang Yu tested the reality of the enemy's army; However, now Wei Quanyan actually plans to cross the river and take the initiative to attack, which gives him the opportunity to attack halfway, and he naturally will not let it go.

"Send someone to tell Wang Yu that he will move to both flanks immediately after he lands on the shore, and don't block the way of our army's attack!"

"Send the order to Mi Zhicheng again, and when the enemy pursues him, he will immediately launch the fiercest attack, and be sure to defeat them in one fell swoop!"

……

Although Zhou Ben temporarily changed his offensive strategy, the overall deployment did not need to be changed, so after he gave the order, the Huainan Army quickly moved into action.

After crossing the river, Wang Yu immediately moved to both flanks, so as not to block the Huainan army's offensive path; The coalition forces also crossed the river smoothly with Wang Yu's pace and began to climb the tidal flats.

The purpose of the Huainan Army was to attack half-crossing, not to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, so when the front coalition army landed on the shore, the Huainan Army did not attack, but quietly waited for more enemy troops to land.

When about five or six thousand enemy troops landed on the shore, Zhou Ben felt that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered: "Attack!" Attack with all your might! ”

As a famous general in the Huainan Army, Mi Zhicheng is especially good at archery, and is as famous as Zhu Jin's lance in the army.

At this moment, with the flutter of the bow in his hand, a singing arrow was fired, and the officer who had already landed in the coalition fell in response.

Then, the Huainan army fired 10,000 arrows in unison, shooting at the enemy at the fastest speed.

This kind of momentum was much more violent than when the coalition forces prevented Wang Yu from crossing the river before, and the coalition soldiers who had just landed on the tidal flats and had not yet gained a firm foothold were hit so violently that there was a great chaos.
