Chapter 1265: The Battle to Destroy Wei X
"Damn, I didn't expect us to be one step slower!"
When an encounter in the Luoshui River broke out suddenly, in the Wei army camp on the north bank of Luoshui, Xiahoudun and Cao Chun's faces changed greatly, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It was originally a surprise attack on the Wu army, but in the end, it turned into an encounter?"
"If we knew this was the case, we should have attacked the Wu army camp in advance, if we had fought last night, maybe we would have been able to strike first, but now it's a pity!"
The two of them looked at the faint firelight, and listened to the shouts of killing in the sky, and they couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
The strategy of attacking as defense and counter-defense as attacking was finally chosen to raid the Wu camp tonight, and although it may not be possible to completely defeat the Wu army, it can at least occupy a favorable first hand.
The most important thing is that the preemptive strike can improve the morale of the Wei army, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is not weak, but the morale is insufficient, as long as the morale is improved, with their troops, it is enough to compete with the Wu army on the other side.
Block for three days, wait for the roundabout encirclement of Xu Huang, and then be able to wipe out this Wu army on the other side.
However......
The truth is beyond the expected.
Because of their lack of preparation before, they have not been able to launch an attack earlier, and the wind direction tonight is very good, which is conducive to them to capture the south bank, so they chose tonight, but they never thought that the Wu army on the opposite side also launched an attack tonight.
This battle was fought from a raid battle, and Xiahoudun and Cao Chun were really unwilling.
"So far, the plan can't be changed, only attack!"
Zhong Xuan was dressed in a Confucian robe, hunting in style, standing next to the two fierce generals, looking at the middle of the flaming river, his expression became more and more gloomy.
The hands he hid in the long sleeves clenched into tight fists, gritted his teeth, his eyes were resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "General Xiahou, General Cao, since this battle has already started, we can't retreat at this time, at this time, if we retreat half a step, even if we just retreat and defend in an orderly manner, it will cause the morale of the officers and men in the army to collapse, our army is weak, unlike the strong momentum of the Wu army, once the morale of the army collapses, it will become a big rout, and even the whole army will be defeated, so we can only attack the past now, If they want to attack, we will attack it, and the two armies will attack each other, fighting for toughness, depending on who can't hold it! ”
"It's not good for us!"
When Cao Chun heard this, a chill surged into his heart: "Whether we are in combat effectiveness, troops, or morale, we are far inferior to the Wu army. ”
Confrontation, that is, both sides have let go of defense, forming a battle mode of attacking against attacking, which is the two armies forcibly fighting against each other for combat effectiveness and morale, and there is no retreat in the fight, unless one side is defeated.
Half of this costly war comes in the final decisive battle.
Because a battlefield where there is no defense to speak of, it is a way of playing that ends together.
Whether it is the victorious or the defeated side, there will be heavy damage.
"Lord Zhong, in fact, we can choose to retreat to defend, as long as we can completely drag their main force, even if their whole army crosses the river, we have a chance of winning, the most important thing is to fight out the time, it is to delay it for three days, so that Yu Ban and Xu Huang can also destroy their troops and horses by making a roundabout attack!"
Cao Chun continued.
"No!"
Zhong Xuan shook his head and said: "You and I know that now our military spirit has begun to crumble, once it retreats, you and I know that it is defense in exchange for time, but the soldiers are not clear, they will think that our defeat is decided, defeat is defeated, they naturally don't want to fight, morale collapses, I'm afraid we can't even hold on for a day, let alone three days, and at the same time, it is also equivalent to boosting the morale of the Wu army, they simply can't detour behind them! ”
"Hmph, there's nothing to retreat, if you win, you have to fight, if you can't win, you have to fight, now it's all like this, whether it's delaying time, or a duel, the initiative is not with us, they want to fight, we can only fight, then see who can't hold it first!"
Xiahoudun exuded wisps of strong aura all over his body, so he was the main general, he directly shouted, and issued a military order: "Cao Chun, you lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to stay to deal with the Wu army's strong attack across the river, since the attack, we will also attack the past, I will personally lead the main force of the army, cross the river and attack the other bank, we will see who can break through the opponent's camp earlier." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cao Chun's response, he directly led the army out of the camp, and then boarded the boats and rafts and bamboo rafts that had been prepared, and began to forcibly cross the river. ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Under the momentum of Xiahoudun's fierce and fearless death, the Wei soldiers also began to ignite the morale of the decisive battle, and they began to continuously board small boats and bamboo rafts and cross the river to attack.
The main forces of the two armies crossed the river, and naturally they collided strongly on the not very wide river.
"Xiahoudun, come and fight!"
"Huang Hansheng, today is either you die or I die, and the sons and daughters will rush to kill with me!"
"Bang, crash away from their ship!"
"Just wait, if you want to block my Da Wu Tianwei, it's just beyond your strength, kill!"
"Da Wei Erlang, the victory or defeat is in this battle, kill the past!"
"Wu thief, give me my life!"
"Hahaha, Wei Dog, today is the end of the world, the sons and daughters of Dawu, rush with me to kill it!"
Under the faint night, on the Luoshui River in the continuous basin for several miles, the two armies fought against each other without reservation, and the soldiers of the Wei army and the Wu army continued to fall, and the corpses of one by one were suspended on the surface of the river, and the blood had gradually dyed the river red.
The surface of the Luoshui River is actually not wide, and the battle on the water can not last long, about dawn, after the soldiers of the two armies added up to almost lose tens of thousands of soldiers, the warships on both sides began to intervene in the past, and then directly landed on both sides of the formation, and stormed the opponent's camp.
The final battle of this battle was completely fought when the morning sun rose.
On the north bank of Luoshui, the moment the east turned white, the Wu army began to land on the riverbank, and the first to land on the bank was naturally the vanguard soldiers and horses led by Lu Lan and Huang Xu.
"Tiger and leopard Erlang, Wu Jun has landed, kill the enemy with me and kill them back!"
After landing on the north bank, he was soon sniped by the Wei army.
Cao Chun had been preparing for a long time, a round of bows and arrows to kill, the horses' hooves neighed, and the soldiers of the middle battalion rushed out, wanting to kill all the vanguard troops of the Wu army that landed.
"Block!"
"Block!"
Although the soldiers of the Wu army were unprepared and suffered heavy casualties, they finally stood firm on the bank of the river.
"Damn, what a Cao Chun, he is bullying us with the superior combat power of the tiger and leopard riding Now there is no war horse, if there is a battle in the plains, I should fight him to the death!" Lu Lan wiped the water traces on his face, held the halberd in his hand, and watched with some ferocious eyes at the slaughter of the Wu soldiers who landed on the tiger and leopard horsemen.
As the vanguard army crossing the river, they naturally did not have war horses to accompany them, and the bamboo rafts and rafts made by the seized warships were not enough in number, and there were not enough to carry soldiers across the river, so they could not support the cavalry to cross the river at all.
Therefore, the soldiers who crossed the river were basically cavalry soldiers.
Naturally, the fight is not as fierce as the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
"Lu Lan, let's ignore their strong attack, connect the river bank with the river with boats, and establish a defense line with half water and half land, which can stabilize their cavalry charge, and block their charge first!"
Huang Xu thought much calmer in comparison: "As long as we can support the river bank for about half an hour, we can pick up the commander's main force to go ashore, and then it will be enough to besiege and kill him Cao Chun!" ”
"Good!"
Although Lu Lan is a little unwilling, she can be regarded as a heroic female who has experienced countless battles, and her beating temperament has stabilized a lot after fighting all the way from the Northland.
"Tiger and leopard Erlang, give me a hard beating, bow and arrow to kill, be sure to defeat them!"
Cao Chun personally commanded the soldiers to attack, wanting to crush the landed Wu soldiers, break their defenses, and drive them back to the river.
If this vanguard army had gained a firm foothold, it would have been much easier for the main force of the Wu army to land.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In the bloody battle, thousands of vanguard troops of the Wu army fell one by one under the sharp arrows and hooves of the tigers and leopards, but they never retreated, and held the Wei army to the death.
The left flank of the tiger and leopard ride.
Huangfu Jianshou led 3,000 soldiers, riding horses in the center, looking at the battle ahead, the hand holding the spear was obviously a little wet, which was nervous sweat.
The tiger and leopard cavalry battalion attacked, and the left and right flanks waited for the main force of the Wu army, so the two armies on the two flanks did not dispatch.
The left-wing general is Cao Chun's favorite general Xiahoudang, and he is a member of Xiahou's family.
"Wu Jun can't hold on!" Huangfu Jianshou stared at the back of Xiahou Dang, and suddenly said to himself: "If you can't meet their main force to cross the river, this battle, I'm afraid the Wu army will lose first!" ”
"Now is not the time, we have to trust them!"
The guards who rode the horse next to Huangfu Jianshou dressed up Sima Lang but were very calm, and said: "If you want to settle the battle, you must calm down, until the critical time, you must not act rashly, once you move, kill Xiahou Dang first, and then take advantage of the situation to counter the left wing, and kill the past with the left wing, as long as the main force of Cao Chun's Wu army is suppressed, it is better to break the enemy and destroy the tiger and leopard cavalry in a battle!" ”
At this time, the Wei army was not in chaos, and the main force of the Wu army had not yet landed, so he still needed to endure.
"Damn it!"
"Why didn't the commander rush out!"
On the riverbank, the soldiers fell one by one, and there were only less than 1,000 soldiers left in the vanguard army who were struggling to support, and seeing that the defensive formation was about to be defeated, Huang Xu and Lu Lan became impatient.
Both of them were wounded, one was grazed in the lower abdomen by a bow and arrow, and the other was on the left arm by the Wei general, and the situation became more and more dangerous.
The most important thing is that they finally occupied a landing point that could welcome the main force of the Wu army, and if they were defeated by the Wei army at this time, they would have to pay the price of blood if they wanted to go ashore again.
"A certain family is here, Cao Chun, dare to fight!"
At this time, Huang Zhong finally got rid of the fight with Xiahoudun completely, he ignored and pursued Xiahoudun who crossed the river, and rushed all the way, and his main force was stronger than Xiahoudun, so the speed was also half a rhythm faster.
"Kill!"
Huang Zhong led the main army to land, and directly rushed up in one breath, directly attacking Cao Chun's main camp of tiger and leopard cavalry.
"Is it the Commander's voice?"
"I can't hold on, it's so dangerous, our main force has finally come over!"
"Hahaha, it's the commander who killed me, kill me back!"
The pioneer soldier immediately shouted with joy.
"Huang Hansheng!"
The tiger and leopard rode in the camp, Cao Chun's face was blue, he squinted his eyes carefully, looking at this Wu general, who was known as the world's incorruptible general, his heart sank slightly, not to mention whether Huang Zhong's qi and blood were dry, just his momentum was definitely comparable to a general in his prime.
is worthy of being the world's Lian Po, a veteran.
"Pass the order, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the main force of the Wu army, the soldiers of the middle battalion will fight with all their strength and block the frontal attack, while the left and right flanks, attacking from the left and right directions, must block them from going ashore!"
Cao Chun didn't wait at this time, and attacked directly.
"No!"
The herald immediately beat the drum, and the drum is the most common way to give orders on the battlefield.
Knock knock knock!!!
With the sound of drums, the tiger and leopard riders on the left and right wings moved all at once, and the horses' hooves roared, and the killing intent soared to the sky.
When the Wu army landed on the north bank, on the south bank of Luoshui, Xiahoudun also led the main force of the Wei army to land ashore.
The price paid by Xiahoudun to land was much greater than that of Huang Zhong, and Xiahoudun's vanguard army was basically wiped out in the battle at the river, resulting in his main force being killed by the Wu army as soon as he landed on the shore.
"Sons, kill them all for Ben Khan!"
"Kill me hard!"
"Kill them without a piece of armor!"
Kebi can be the main general of the camp, and the Xianbei elite he leads is naturally not an ordinary soldier and horse, and it is like a god to fight a smooth sniper battle.
"Kebineng, a certain family will kill you!"
Xiahoudun almost paid the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers before he landed on land, as soon as he landed on the shore, his eyes were red, staring at Kebineng who kept slaughtering his soldiers, he must kill Kebineng.
"Someone, pass on my military order, since the Wei army has landed, we will accept it when we see it, and let Kebineng lead the army to withdraw from the riverbank!"
Pang Tong, who was standing on the wooden tower watching the battle, watched the battle carefully, and said, "Let them in and fight!" ”
"Put it in and fight?"
Some of the big and small strategists around him didn't understand what Pang Tong meant.
"The main force of the Wei army is here, the Xianbei army can contend with it, but it can't besiege them, once an attack is formed, not to mention the Wei army, our casualties are too great, let them in, as long as the other side can successfully solve Cao Chun, and then return to help, you can completely encircle and kill Xiahoudun!"
Pang Tong looked up at the battlefield on the other side, but he was a little worried in his heart: "I'm afraid that we won't have time!" ”
"Report!" A cavalry scout came to report.
"Say!"
"As the chief of staff said, the scouts have found some traces of the Wei army within a hundred miles of our left and right flanks, and the number of soldiers and horses is not clear, but their marching track depends on going around our rear flank!"
Scout said.
"The Wei army is really pouring out, ready to besiege and kill my 100,000 male lions, what a big appetite!"
When Pang Tong heard this, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he looked at the battle on the other side of the river: "Commander, now the success or failure depends on whether you can completely exterminate the tiger and leopard cavalry in the shortest possible time, and then return to help and strangle Xiahoudun!" ”
They were the first to enter the confines of Luoyang City, but it became an opportunity for the Wei army to tear through the encirclement.
The Wei army wanted to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Wu army was not completed, annihilate their 100,000 army, and tear apart the defense line in the northwest.
Time has become the key to this battle, as long as you can destroy the Wei army in front of you before the Wei army is encircled, it will be a victory.
If the Wei army is allowed to complete the front and rear encirclement, their army may really have heavy casualties.
"Also, Sima Lang, don't let me down!"
Pang Tong said secretly in his heart.
It is difficult to say whether the move he laid out in advance will work, and once it works, there will be no suspense in this battle. (To be continued.) )
