Chapter Thirty-Six: The First Battle of the Han Army's Naval Division!
The wax pill was wrapped in a very small note, and there were not many words written on it, and what Cholera saw was: Lord, our army has been defeated, suffered heavy losses, and is trapped in Xiaolianggou, please rescue the lord!
Seeing this, Cholera was shocked and angry, shocked that the Han army was so powerful, and angry was that Pan Feng's 5,000-strong vanguard army was behind the Dongying people, and it was defeated as a result, which was simply unforgivable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Lord, what's the situation?" Guo Xin didn't know the news, but he knew that the situation was not good by looking at cholera's face, so he asked in a condensed voice.
Looking around, Cholera whispered: "It is indeed Pan Feng's handwriting, it only says that they have suffered heavy losses and defeated Xiaolianggou, let us go to the rescue quickly." β
"Defeated? General Pan's vanguard army was behind the Dongying people, and General Pan was defeated, so weren't those Dongying people also defeated? Wei Yan was a little stunned and said, "The Han army is just a group of peasant troops, how can the Dongying people and our vanguard army have a total of more than 9,000 people, how can they be defeated?" β
"Could it be that there is fraud in it?" Guo Xin also thought about it at the moment and said.
"Where is the trabecular groove?" Cholera asked suddenly.
"According to this, more than two hundred miles, at the speed of cavalry, it can be reached in half a day." Wei Yan replied.
"The lord wants to send cavalry to the rescue?" Guo Xin asked.
Cholera didn't answer, but fell silent for a while, he did have the idea of letting Wei Yan lead the cavalry to the rescue, but Guo Xin's words were not unreasonable, what if this was a trap? But if you don't save it, according to the current situation, Pan Feng is more auspicious and less lucky, and he lost a general, which is also what cholera doesn't want to see, besides, cholera has 80,000 male soldiers, but there are only 5,000 cavalry, and only 3,000 are on his march at the moment, and more than 9,000 troops have been defeated.
"Lord, let me go, give me two thousand cavalry, and I'll save Pan Feng!" Wei Yan opened his mouth at the right time to ask for battle.
Glancing at Wei Yan, Cholera was still quite satisfied with Wei Yan in his heart, because Wei Yan was definitely strong enough, and among the three generals under his command, Wei Yan was a well-deserved first, and although his actions were not as fine as Zhao Dian's, he was still relatively cautious in military affairs.
"Okay, since you take the initiative to ask for battle, then I will give you 2,000 cavalry, but you have to remember, if Pan Feng really can't be saved, don't be brutal, send more scout horses on the march, and don't fall into the enemy's trap!" Cholera nodded and agreed to Wei Yan's request, and at the same time admonished Wei Yan, because no matter what, this Han army, which had never been taken into their eyes, had aroused their vigilance.
"Subordinates take orders!" Wei Yan was overjoyed, and first sent his own soldiers to mobilize the cavalry.
Guo Xin on the side opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, because cholera is indeed the best way to deal with it at present.
"Military division, let the soldiers speed up the march, and they must rush to the vicinity of Xiaolianggou within three days." Waiting for Wei Yan to leave, Cholera immediately said to Guo Xin.
Guo Xin should come down, and then said: "Lord, it seems that we underestimated the Han army, and we were able to defeat the Dongying people and our vanguard army with a total of 9,000 people in a row, which is not something that an ordinary peasant army can do. β
Looking into the distance, Cholera nodded with a heavy expression, and said: "What the military advisor said is good, and don't forget, according to the time, now the Dongying Water Division should also attack, that is, the Han army should now be fighting on two fronts, so it can defeat four thousand Dongying people and five thousand of our vanguard army, this battle is not as simple as we imaginedγγγγγγ β

Just when Liu Chen led the Han army and the army led by Pan Feng to confront each other, in Chengshan Military Port, a defensive battle had been launched, which was different from ordinary defensive battles, and the battlefield of this defensive battle was the mouth of Chengshan Military Port, the location of the natural pot mouth.
According to Liu Chen's instructions, Chen Ying, the commander of the Han army's naval division, blocked the two warships at the mouth of the pot, and with the two warships blocking the way, if you want to attack the Chengshan Military Port, you must destroy the warships.
Behind the two warships are the ten warships that the Han army now has that are beginning to have combat power, each with 200 soldiers on them, and they are close to the two warships blocking the way, because these two warships blocking the way will be the main battlefield of this defensive operation.
On the two warships blocking the road, there are 100 crossbowmen and 100 sailors and soldiers each, plus 10 warships in the back, there are 2,400 Han soldiers gathered here, and the Han army left near Chengshan at this moment is only 3,000 sailors and 300 crossbowmen, accounting for 2,040 here, and more than 900 soldiers, Chen Ying arranged them on land, just in case.
"Lord Commander, the enemy is almost ready to attack, but the water here is too narrow, and every time the enemy attacks, it will only be a few hundred people at most, and it should not be difficult for us to defend it." One of the two warships blocking the road, Chen Ying, Sima Xin and Ding Fu are all here, although this is the first line of the battle, it is very dangerous, but none of the three of them flinched, first, looking not far away, dozens of red horse boats were launched, Sima Xin also said to Chen Ying.
Separated by more than 100 meters of water, a total of 33 warships are displayed on the sea, surrounded by red horse boats that are dense like ants.
Chen Ying and the soldiers of the Naval Division, most of them are people who have become a landscape division in the past, and when they see the Dongying Naval Division, they are definitely enemies who are very red-eyed when they meet, the reason why they were defeated at the beginning is that the controller of the Landscape Division is a big reason, not that the soldiers are afraid of death, at the moment the equipment is available, and the warships are also available, these soldiers who have become the naval division of the Han Army, they are full of confidence.
"Xiahou Ying, wait for the enemy to start attacking, but it's up to your bow and crossbow squadron." Chen Ying smiled and said to Xiahou Ying, although Xiahou Ying was not under Chen Ying, but Chen Ying did not dare to underestimate Xiahou Ying at all, because the generals in the army often competed, and Xiahou Ying was on par with Luan Bu next to General Liu Chen.
Hearing this, Xiahou Ying said loudly: "Don't worry, Lord Commander, if thousands of people attack together, we may have some trouble, but with only a few hundred people, I will not let them get close to our warship!" β
Xiahou Ying is not joking, nor is he talking big, because the waters here are too narrow, and the Red Horse Boat has no facilities to block the arrows, and the enemy enters the firing range, it is definitely a live target, and two hundred crossbowmen are definitely a powerful strike point in such dense waters.
"Knock knock!" There was a burst of war drums on the other side, and then fifty red horse boats were seen speeding towards the position of the mouth of the pot.
"Shoot the arrows!" The distance between the two armies was not far, and the speed of the red horse boat was relatively fast, just in the blink of an eye, the first wave of attacking soldiers in Dongying had already entered the range of the Han army's bow and arrow, and Xiahou Ying would not be polite to these Dongying people, so with a loud shout, hundreds of arrows flew towards those red horse boats.
