Chapter 818: Interception on the shore
Yuan Xu led his army across Onozawa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After marching in the water for half a month, the army landed on the shore.
The soldiers were drenched in water, and when they reached the shore, they sat down on the ground one by one.
The Penglai army is accustomed to water, but they have spent more time in the water, and they are only tired by riding a raft.
"Summoning Ma Yi and sending out the Wind Shadow." Yuan Xu instructed Jiang Jun: "Find out where Cao Jun will land." ”
Jiang Jun left in response.
But after a while, the trial came to Yuan Xu: "The army has landed, dare to ask Gongzi, what should the three armies do?" ”
"No matter what!" Yuan Xu said: "Guo Fengxiao crossed Dayozawa, it will take more than ten days to say the least, and the soldiers are ordered to rest well, and our army will wait for him on the shore with ease!" ”
Yuan Xu led his army to settle down on the east bank of Onozawa, and Guo Jia also led the army into Onozawa at this time.
Most of the trees on the shore were cut down by Yuan Xu's order, and when he entered Onozawa, Yuan Xu ordered a fire to burn the remaining trees.
After walking dozens of miles around the West Bank of Ohno, Cao Jun finally found a forest.
After a detour and cutting down trees to make a raft, Cao Jun was delayed for another two days.
By the time they entered Huze, Yuan Xu's army had already landed on the east bank.
Entering Onozawa, Guo Jia repeatedly told the soldiers to take care of each other.
At first, the march was very smooth, but when they reached the shoal, Cao Jun made a difficulty.
Some of the soldiers jumped into the water, the water was too shallow due to the mud being too deep.
The water is not buoyant enough, but the mud is thick.
Cao Jun, who jumped into the water, soon found that not only could they not push the raft, but they were stuck in the mud.
Fortunately, Cao Jun, who was on the raft, heard his companions shouting in panic, and hurriedly pulled up the ropes and pulled them onto the raft.
In the middle of the lake, it was extremely difficult for Cao Jun to make every further trip.
Looking at the endless blue waves in front of him, Xiahoudun said to Guo Jia worriedly: "With this way of traveling, I don't know when I can cross here!" ”
"There's always a day to spend it!" Guo Jia frowned and said, "What I'm worried about is not that this place is difficult to cross, but that Yuan Xianxin is already waiting in formation on the other side. ”
Leading the troops all the year round, Xiahoudun certainly knew what the Cao army would face if Yuan Xu led the army to wait on the other side.
His face was very ugly, and he asked Guo Jia: "Guo Gong, if Yuan Xianxin is really like this, what should our army do?" ”
"When you see the riverbank, let the soldiers set up a shield wall in front of the raft." Guo Jia said: "If our army can survive this battle, we should go to find Cao Gong as soon as possible, and ask Cao Gong to divide his troops to fight against Yuan Xianxin!" ”
Although Guo Jia did not say it explicitly, Xiahoudun had already heard from his words that Cao Jun would be defeated in this battle.
Looking ahead, Xiahoudun was in a very depressed mood.
He has led the army to fight for many years, although he has also been defeated, but there has never been a time like now, knowing that he will be defeated, but he has to lead the soldiers forward.
Because the preparation was not as adequate as Yuan Xu's, Cao Jun soaked in the water for more than 20 days before seeing the east coast.
Standing on the raft, Guo Jia looked at the east shore and found that the shore was indeed full of people.
Seeing Yuan Xu's army that was already waiting on the east coast, Xiahoudun took a deep breath.
Holding the sword on his waist, he said to Guo Jia: "When our army is close to the shore, Guo Gong can just stay on the raft, and a certain leader can come forward to fight!" ”
"Stay on the raft and wait until you die!" Guo Jia smiled indifferently and said to Xiahoudun: "The general will lead the troops to kill, and a certain one will follow." When our army landed, there was no need to entangle with Yuan Xianxin, and the enemy army was weak and broke through in one go. ”
Xiahou replied, and his gaze fell on the Tianhai Battalion army on the opposite shore again.
After resting on the east bank for more than 20 days, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion were neatly dressed and armored, waiting for the arrival of Cao's army in a neat line.
After soaking in the water for many days, the soldiers of Cao Jun were already exhausted.
Seeing the Tianhai camp lined up on the shore, the soldiers of the Cao army blocked their shields in front of the raft, and looked at the enemy with a pair of eyes with fear.
The raft moved forward in the rippling water, and the soldiers of the Cao army held their breath one by one, quietly waiting for the big battle to come.
On the bank of the river, the battle flag of Yuan Xu's Chinese army fluttered, and the horns sounded leisurely.
The soldiers who had already lined up planted their shields on the ground in front of them, took their longbows from behind them, and set up arrows to aim at Cao's army, who was rowing a raft.
The Cao army is getting closer and closer, and the longbows of the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion have already been full.
The raft was getting closer and closer to the shore, and an officer of the Tianhai Battalion shouted: "Locate the arrow!" ”
More than a dozen soldiers loosened their bowstrings, and arrows flew out with a whizz.
Due to the long distance, it was impossible for the arrow to reach Cao Jun, and he fell into the water more than ten steps away from the raft.
The arrows are made of iron, and the arrow feathers are very light, and the positioning arrows shot by the Tianhai Camp have red ropes tied to the arrow feathers.
The head was in the water, the tail was floating on the water, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion stared at the red rope floating on the water one by one.
The raft of the Cao army at the front passed by the floating red rope, and the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion on the shore did not fire arrows.
Positioning arrows, the lethality of arrows falling into the water is insufficient, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion are still waiting!
Cao Jun's raft moved forward more than ten steps.
Yuan Xu's battle flag swayed violently, and the officer standing at the front of the array raised his arm high, and then pressed his arm down violently: "Release the arrow!" ”
With the officer's order, countless arrows flew out of the Tianhai camp formation and fell towards the Cao army who was marching.
On the water, arrows flew in their heads and faces.
The Cao archers hid behind their shields and also opened their longbows to shoot arrows at the shore.
After all, the raft was too open, and the arrows shot by Cao Jun did not cause trouble to Tianhai, but the arrows of Tianhai Camp shrouded Cao Jun in it.
For every inch of the raft on the water, Cao Jun's arrow fell into the water.
The arrow fell into the water, Cao Jun fell into the water, and large and small waves were stirred up on the water surface.
"Retreat!" Seeing that Cao Jun was getting closer, the officer of the Tianhai Battalion ordered again.
The soldier at the front of the array put away his longbow, picked up his shield, and stepped back with his waist bent.
The soldiers behind spread their longbows and aimed at Cao Jun to shoot a puff of feather arrows.
At a rather heavy cost, the raft at the front finally came to shore.
"Kill!" With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Xiahoudun took the lead in jumping off the raft.
Countless Cao troops rushed to the shore after him.
The feathered arrows of the Tianhai camp roared and flew towards them, and the Cao soldiers in the charge fell to the ground one after another, and the shore was suddenly full of wounded Cao soldiers or the corpses of Cao Jun.
Seeing that more and more Cao troops landed on the shore, Yuan Xu said to Gao Ran on the side: "I hope that General Gao will make contributions in this battle!" ”
Gao Ran took the order and rushed out.
The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion put away their longbows one after another, and rushed to the Cao army who was landing on the shore.
The number of people is comparable to that of the Tianhai battalion, and the training of the Cao army is not as good as the Tianhai battalion, plus it is landing on the shore, and it is difficult for the soldiers to gather.
Lined up in a neat array, the Tianhai battalion advanced step by step, and the Cao army that landed on the shore was relatively messy and failed to form an effective formation. (To be continued.) )
