Chapter 740: Landing Operations
On the third day when Zhao Yun led the Qinglong Army out of Kaifeng City, Cao Cao came to the west bank of the Langdang Canal according to the agreement with Zhao Yun.
Here, too many stories have happened, and too many people have buried themselves in this river. But today, Cao Cao still had to cross the river in need. Killing the past is the beginning of defeating Liu Bei; If you're blocked, keep attacking!
is still in that place, the place where Yu Ban camped before, but this time the leading general is no longer Yu Ban, but Cao Cao himself. On the other side of the river, Liu Bei still rebuilt the tower according to the foundation laid before.
"Board the ship, attack!"
Cao Cao didn't have any nonsense, drew his sword and waved, and the 5,000-strong army began to board the ferry one after another. They were the first wave of troops to land on the beach, due to the ban on pro-marry. As long as they had established themselves on the other side of the river, 25,000 more would have landed on the east bank.
The beach-grabbing landing began, and countless ferries sailed quickly to the east shore on the opposite side. On the east shore, the alarm bell sounded. The ant-like soldiers of Liu Jun climbed the tower with a chrysalis, pulled out the bow and arrow in their hands, and a heavy rain composed of missed arrows was about to begin!
"Ding Ding ......" Liu Jun's position was originally condescending, so when Cao Cao's ferry boat reached the middle of the river, the rain of arrows arrived!
Crossing the river and landing operations and attacking half-across are the most basic in the art of war. Therefore, the Cao soldiers on the ferry carried shields one by one on top of their heads.
If one piece doesn't work, then let's get together! As a result, one shield umbrella after another appeared on the ferry, so Liu Jun's missed arrow was actually effective. Of course, there are also people who have a lot of backs. The arrow slipped through the gap between the shield and landed on his arm, leg, and even his head.
This time, General Liu Jun, who was in charge of guarding this landing site, was Wang Shuang. When Wang Shuang saw that he didn't gain much from the rain of arrows, he shouted loudly: "Use a ballista, use a catapult!" Quick, aim for me on the ferry, smash! β
Since the lethality of bows and arrows is not good, let's use heavy weapons. If we can't penetrate it, we'll smash it!
Boulders were thrown into the sky by catapults, crossed the parabola, and then crashed into the water. Although the catapult is huge, it is still difficult to hit the relatively small target of the ferry. However, even if the boulder did not hit the ferry, the waves that fell in the water near the ferry still shook the ferry. And the people on the boat also began to sway from side to side with the boat.
"Good chance, archer, put!"
The gap in the shield umbrella has already appeared, and at this time, the effect of using a bow and arrow will definitely be stronger than before.
Compared to catapults, ballistae are much easier to use. The powerful crossbow with the thickness of the arm and the length of the foot roared against the surface of the water and rushed towards the ferry. With a "bang", a large hole was pierced in the bow of the ship. However, this does not seem to have much effect on the ferry's movements. But Lu Yi deserves to be a general, and Lu Yi can see the greatest use value of the ballista at a glance.
"Aim for the hull under the surface of the water to launch, fast, adjust the direction!"
βduang!β
The boatmen, who had been busy rocking their oars below deck, were overturned on their backs by crossbow arrows that suddenly pierced the hull, but the ensuing water panicked the boatmen.
Lu Yi looked at the ferry that began to spin in place, and couldn't help but feel good, "Yes, that's it." Let Cao Jun go underwater and feed the fish! Haha......"
Gradually, Cao's ferry reached the opposite shore in a strong wind, and this is when the rainstorm really began.
Yu Ban stood on the side of the ship, and waved the war knife in his hand, "Rush!" Before the long whistle fell, one gangplank after another was thrown down, and countless soldiers, brandishing shields and swords, rushed to the embankment with a whistling voice.
"Archer!" At the command of the captain, countless archers unleashed their bowstrings and fired arrows at the enemy archers on the tower.
For a time, on the entire battlefield, arrows became gifts that came and went. But this gift took away one life after another.
"King Wei, General Yu has landed!" Ever since Yu Ban boarded the ship, Cao Cao had closed his eyes, and in his ears was the sound of turbulent water, the roar of soldiers, and the roar of war drums.
"Lejin, you lead two thousand people, reinforcements in the ban!" While Cao Cao spoke, his eyes still did not open.
"No!" Le Jin agreed, and immediately turned around to order troops.
After landing on the beach, after the landing of one's own side, the reinforcements must be continuously replenished to replenish the consumption in front. Landing operations, however, are more dangerous than siege warfare, and the reason for this is that water is a soft and fierce thing.
"Dian Wei!"
Not long after Le Jin left, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened, and Dian Wei, who heard Cao Cao's voice walking over, was startled by Cao Cao's eyes.
"King Wei!"
"Go tell Cao Zhen that it's his turn!"
Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and left. After Cheng Yu waited for Dian Wei to leave, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "King Wei, will you use them now?" Why don't you ...... after the general and General Le take the opposite riverbank?"
"Don't wait, they've been waiting for this battle for nine years! It's time for the lone tiger and leopard to ride on! β
Nine years ago, the tiger and leopard riders had already arrived near the battlefield, but before the tiger and leopard riders could show their fangs, the plague came! The plague doesn't depend on who you are.
When Cao Cao's landing operation entered the white heat, in the north of Chen Liucheng, two large armies had already set up a full position, and the battle had reached a critical juncture that was about to break out.
"General Guan, don't come unharmed!" The long-bearded red-faced man riding a black horse and holding a big knife on the opposite side was something that Zhao Yun once admired.
"General Zhao, the demeanor is still the same!" Guan Yu replied with a fist at Zhao Yun on the opposite side. "General Zhao, my lord is bent on persuading the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, why does the general still lead troops to attack?"
"Haha......" As soon as Zhao Yun heard it, didn't we really have any other opening remarks when we met? However, "What is darkness when it turns to light?" What is Ming? Could it be that following a villain like Liu Bei is Ming? General Guan, you are also a hero who stands up to the sky in this troubled world, why can't you see through Liu Bei's personality? β
"General Zhao is famous for his loyalty, righteousness and courage, Guan is not talented, but he also knows the word loyalty." Guan Yu said with some embarrassment. Guan Mou has ever done something treacherous, can you Zhao Yunzhong be brave and can't let me Guan Yu be consistent?
"In that case, let's fight!"
"Brush!" As soon as Zhao Yun's arm turned, a flash of light flashed, and the gentian gun had already begun to tremble!
"General, the prime minister has said ......" Yan Liang on the side saw Zhao Yun's posture and understood what Zhao Yun was going to do. And this is explicitly forbidden by Cao De.
"Shut up! General Guan is so powerful that he can be so insulted. Even if the prime minister is here, Zhao will disobey the order! β
"Zhang Liao, from now on, you are the chief general of the three armies! Drive! As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, he controlled the war horse and rushed out.
Guan Yu on the opposite side slowly grabbed the tail of the knife when Zhao Yun rushed out. He muttered in his mouth: "This battle, Guan has been looking forward to it for a long time!" Drive! β
"Come on, bring the drumsticks!"
Wen Chou couldn't help it, the two most well-known generals in the world were about to collide, and to be honest, Wen Chou also wanted to make do. But now it seems that Wen Chou has no such opportunity. Therefore, Wen Chou, who has itchy palms and can't do it, can only go to the drum to cheer!
"Knock, knock, knock......"
βduang~β
Gentian Gun and Green Dragon Glaive Knife, the collision begins!
