Chapter 904: The Initial Decisive Battle Zijin
On the south bank of the Yellow River, the Yuan army camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More than 100,000 Yuan troops lost their ranks and returned to the camp in chaos. They all got up at three o'clock in the morning, and although it was four o'clock at the moment, the sky was already white, but they were still tired and wanted to go back to sleep as soon as possible.
Yuan Shao also returned to his big tent, took off his armor, took off his coat, and prepared to sleep in the tent again.
"Report, lord, the big thing is not good, the Qin army has crossed the river!"
Yuan Shao had just lifted the curtain on his front foot, and Jiang Yiqu ran in behind him.
I saw Yuan Shao's head, which was visibly larger to the naked eye. Although the soldiers often see it, they can't help but think that the lord really deserves the title of Yuan Datou, it is said that back then, it was Qin Feng, the Duke of Qin, who saw this phenomenon and gave him a nickname.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" At this time, Yuan Shao knew that the plan to fatigue the soldiers was fake, and the plan to paralyze was true. He hurriedly put on his coat and shouted: "Hurry, beat the drums and march into the army, and the battalions will enter the designated defense area and wait for my order!" ”
For a time, the camp of the Yuan army more than ten miles along the river was once again roaring with drums.
Some of the soldiers of the Yuan army had just entered the tent and undressed, and some had not yet returned from a long distance, and the drums came again.
Yuan Jun was in a mess.
The regular army of the Yuan army complained, and the private soldiers of the Shi clan scolded, so they joined together again and drove the strong men into the designated garrison area for the front. They vented their 'grudges' on Zhuang Ding, and Zhuang Ding was indignant.
Someone in Zhuangding began to rumor, "If the Duke of Qin comes, the people will be liberated and live a happy and happy life with surplus food." ”
There is surplus food, it is simply the dream of the people, and everyone is eager for the arrival of Qin Gong.
"To live a good life, we need Qin Gong to liberate us, but we also have to fight ourselves."
"Brother Zhang, what do you say, our brothers will listen to you."
Among the 100,000 strong men, many people stood up and began to connect the strong men around them. These people are all capable agents of the intelligence guard. In many cases, it is because there is no organizer and there is no organization, and the power of the people is dispersed. When the leader appeared, an undercurrent surged among the 100,000 strong men.
When the Yuan army gathered again, the sky was also bright, and he saw that on the river, 'hundreds of boats were competing for the current, thousands of sails were racing, and the waves were behind and the ship was in front'.
Densely packed with countless Qin warships, it became a trend of assaulting the south bank. The drums of the rumbling march echoed over the Yellow River, and the color changed.
And because Yuan Jun was tossed twice, his spirit was far less strong than when he was assembled for the first time.
Yuan Shao personally led the army to guard the main battlefield of the three-mile-wide ferry, with Yan Liangwen Chou beside him, 10,000 Yuan troops behind him, and 30,000 strong men in front of him.
10,000 Yuan soldiers used swords and guns to resist the back of the strong man, and they became a warlord. There are also 'propagandists' who wander in front of the strong men to propagate. Yuan Shaoshi didn't know that the more propaganda he had, the stronger Zhuangding's idea of rebellion became.
Looking down from the sky.
The beachhead on the south bank is densely packed with Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, stretching for more than ten miles. The sharp edge of the sword and gun was far away in the river, and nearly a thousand Qin army warships in the river were constantly approaching the shore.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
When the first rays of sunlight crossed the river, the sound of huge war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.
As soon as the generals of the Yuan army on the front heard the drum beat, they knew what it meant.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
"Stone, stone!"
Tens of thousands of sharp arrows, one guy flew out, and its momentum was even more spectacular than the hundreds of warheads flying out of the ground in later generations.
For a while, arrows rained down, enveloping the Qin fleet.
The sound of clanging reverberated through the Qin fleet, and instead of crushing the Qin soldiers, this symphony of death inspired them to fight.
"Fight for the Lord, fight for the people!" The soldiers of the Qin army shouted slogans, they were the only army with a military soul in this era. 'The people' includes all people, their loved ones, the relatives of their comrades-in-arms, the relatives of all people, and themselves. They will follow their leaders with firm conviction and fight for the people.
Because the Qin army ship was in front, the crew of the big ship was operating the oars in the cabin, so the arrows flying outside were like locusts, which could not affect the speed of the Qin army's warship.
The Qin army was in the cabin and was not affected.
In fact, the greatest impact on the Qin fleet was rockets, followed by stone throwings.
And the soldiers of the Qin army and the navy are fearless, they brave the stray arrows to extinguish the fire, but there are still too many buildings and fighting ships that catch fire. For a time, the entire river was covered with thick smoke.
The Qin army paid a lot of casualties to be able to control the fire on the ship. Too many naval soldiers were killed, but the warships of the Qin army continued to advance rapidly.
Qin Feng's flagship charge was in front, and he appeared in the bow of the flagship. When he stood high in the bow of the ship, there was no romance of the Titanic, only the roar of iron and blood.
The sunlight shone on the golden Zhenwu Taiji spear he held high, emitting a dazzling golden light, which allowed the soldiers on the battleships on the left and right to see their leader.
There is nothing more motivating to the soldiers than seeing the leader on the front, and the momentum of the soldiers of the Qin army skyrocketed.
Jia Xu, who didn't hold Qin Feng, fell to the ground, and as soon as he got up, he shouted: "Pull the lord back, quickly!" ”
Dian Wei carried Qin Feng down, and he also received two punches from Qin Feng.
Pengpeng's voice, where Qin Feng was standing just now, was covered with bows and arrows.
The crowd wiped their sweat.
Shore.
Yuan Shao looked at the big head from afar, saw the golden light disappearing, and shouted: "Did you shoot it, did you die?" ”
"It doesn't seem to have been shot, but it's gone."
"Count Qin Zi's fate, beat the drum and send a signal, each defense area will fight separately, and when the Qin warship lands, he will rush up to me without waiting for him to unload his troops, and even the people and ships will be destroyed for me!" Yuan Shao said angrily.
The appearance of Qin Feng greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Qin army.
100 meters......
Fifty meters .......
The Qin fleet was getting closer and closer to the shore, and the sound of the fluffy clattering kept coming from the bottom of the forward ship. This came from the fact that the bottom of the ship was violently slamming into the area of the wooden stakes that Yuan Jun had smashed deep into the water.
Each of these stakes is as thick as a bowl and is nearly a meter high above the water.
These stakes were very unique in later generations to guard against sharp-bottomed keel ships, and many dynasties have laid these stakes in the main coastal areas to prevent pirates and so on.
However, the Qin army installed a shovel at the lower part of the bow, and the pointed bottom boat was not good for the wooden piles, and the flat-bottomed boats were boxy, and after the installation, they had a miraculous effect on the wooden piles.
However, the wooden stakes slowed down the speed of the Qin army's warships, which made the Qin army's forward ships fail to complete the feat of rushing to the river beach last time, and all of them stopped in the shallow water of the river bank.
"Disembark and assemble!"
Qin Feng once again pushed Dian Wei and Xu Chu away, and ran out of the cabin, and Long Wei established a defense line in three layers and three layers outside. Dian Wei and Xu Chu each took a giant shield one person high, and after they went out, they gave Qin Feng an umbrella.
Shore.
Yuan Shao was relieved to see that the Qin warship failed to rush to the river beach. To tell the truth, he heard Yan Liang describe the first battle of the Shang River, and the building boats that rushed onto the river beach became fortresses, which were extremely powerful.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "The enemy is stranded in the shallows, which is a good opportunity for our army." Drums, marches, marches! ”
In the sound of war drums, tens of thousands of Yuan Jun and Shi clan private soldiers, driving 100,000 strong men, began to charge. Not only did they carry knives and guns, but they also carried large bundles of fire-starters.
Yuan Shao's eyes widened and stared at the river beach, "Qin Zijin, you can't get off the boat, look at this time, how do you land!" ”
Thousands of warships docked, and more than 100,000 people poured onto the river beach on the opposite side, how spectacular.
The decisive battle is imminent.
