Chapter 288: I can't speak

Cao Jun chose to test the surname to attack, Xu Huang was also polite, and swallowed the enemy's commando in one bite, but then it was difficult to do, eating the commando team of three or five hundred people, which had no effect on the entire battle situation, and the main force of the Cao army was still there.

Looking at the dense plastic surgery of the enemy army, Xu Huang had no idea, if he could rush in, it would be called hell, fighting on the river, and finally playing a decisive step in the victory, that is, to start a broadside battle against the enemy ship, the enemy formation was dense, it was difficult to rush in, and the small-scale raid was useless.

The most fatal point is the enemy's water village, how many troops are still in the water village, it is still unknown, even if the current strength is equal, Xu Huang does not dare to easily invest all the troops, because once he chooses to attack with all his strength, if the other party kills an army from the water village, then I am afraid it will not be good.

"Throw it in!" The battle of the encirclement and suppression assault team is still continuing, great changes are taking place on the river, Cao Jun's stern is locked by three or five big boats, thick ropes are entangled in Cao Jun, and the sergeants are swarming up, Cao Jun is powerless to stop it, so he can only cower in the cabin.

"Block, don't let them come in!" Cao's generals resisted hard, but it was to no avail, first they were suppressed by the archers, and now the enemy troops have boarded the ship strongly, and there is no suspense in the battle.

"Burn it, burn it all for me!" A member of the army commander waved a torch and was lighting fires everywhere, such a battle, there was no need to force out the enemy army, the warship was burned, and after a while, Cao's stern was constantly on fire, and it became a fireboat in an instant.

After seeing this scene, Meng Ge couldn't help frowning and said, "Gongming, if the enemy ships rush in, won't we be unlucky together?" ”

Xu Huang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, general, they can't move, our army is locked with more than three ships, and they are forced in three directions, the enemy ships can't break free, and they can't make any waves!" ”

As Xu Huang predicted, after the enemy ship burned, the thick rope was not withdrawn, and the enemy ship was still locked tightly, not allowing the enemy ship to have any chance, obviously Xu Huang also took this into account, but seeing this scene, Meng Ge was even more curious.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to pull the enemy ship back?" Mungo wondered again.

"Huh!" Xu Huang looked at Meng Ge puzzled, just now Meng Ge said that he was going back, this battle had just started, why was he ready to go back, Xu Huang thought he had heard it wrong.

"General, let's go back to the division?" Xu Huang asked again, and Meng Ge nodded decisively.

"Why, our army has a temporary advantage, why do we have to return to the division?" Xu Huang was puzzled, the first expedition achieved a little result, now the enemy is powerless to resist, our army is like a rainbow, it is a good opportunity to pursue, Meng Ge suddenly said a retreat, which was completely unexpected.

Meng Ge shook his head, pointed to the opposite side and said: "Gongming, look at the other side, are you sure to break through the enemy's formation, in my opinion, the enemy is so densely formed, our ships can't hit even if they collide, the battle may not be smooth, the bow and crossbow are not impossible to defend, the next time the enemy will inevitably seek cover, our attack may not be effective, you talk about it, how to fight this battle!" ”

After speaking, Meng Ge looked at Xu Huang, this time Xu Huang finally understood, the enemy army was in a tight position, it was difficult to be broken, and if he forcibly attacked, maybe the enemy army would take advantage of it.

"Withdraw!" Xu Huang didn't hesitate anymore, this battle has reached such a point, there is no need to continue, and in the end, he will lose his own water army, which is not what Xu Huang wants to see.

With the order to withdraw, the fleet set sail again, this time the fleet had to go against the current and return to White Horse from here, which was a manual work, and it was much more difficult to go up the river than down the river.

After a while, the sound of hard paddling started, looking at the mountains along the coast, as well as the beacon towers, Meng Ge frowned, the enemy's defense of the Yellow River was unexpectedly strong, and if he wanted to cross the Yellow River north, I am afraid it would be very difficult.

The beacon tower high on the shore, Lejin overlooked the Yellow River, looked at the fleet that was going away, and fell into contemplation for a while, the enemy will come again, this Lejin is very clear, so how will the enemy attack next time, and how should he defend himself!

At this moment, Cao Jun's water village was silent, and the enemy troops from afar retreated, but their nerves were not relaxed, and no one was sure that the enemy would kill back.

However, Cao Ying stared at the departure of the enemy ship, and was speechless for a long time, Menggo's naval army was strong, exceeding his estimate, and seeing the enemy calmly solve the commando, Cao Ying was not a taste in his heart.

"O Mongo! Mongo, even the water army is as powerful as you, are you really invulnerable! Cao Ying couldn't help but think like this, and worked hard to prepare for the war for several months, but he was still surpassed by the enemy, and Cao Ying naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Lord!" Cheng Yu didn't know what to say, Cao Ying was in a bad mood at the moment, and it was superfluous to say anything.

"Hey! The order goes down, except for those who are on guard, go back to their posts! Cao Ying turned around helplessly, when the battle situation was unfavorable, he should also think carefully about how to turn the situation around.

"No!" Cheng Yu bowed, turned around and left Cao Ying's side, the military order was quickly handed down, and the Cao army, who was waiting for the battle, immediately relaxed, except for the guards, the rest of the people returned to their posts one after another.

The whole water village is lifeless, just after a defeat, no one is in a bad mood, everyone lowered their heads, and walked back weakly, no one was willing to break the silence, because no one knew who would be next time, who would be buried in the belly of the fish.

Looking at the demoralized soldiers, Cheng Yu couldn't help but shake his head, just after a battle, it became like this, if this goes on like this, then how can it be good, Meng Ge will definitely come again, how to fight without morale, Cheng Yu looked up at the sky, and his heart didn't know where to fly.

The surface of the river for small-scale engagement has returned to calm at this time, Xiahoudun is driving the boat, searching everywhere, the commando ship is burned, there will always be people jumping off the boat, maybe someone will survive, Xiahoudun is trying to search for survivors.

"General, here's one!" Suddenly, there was happy news from the side, and Xiahoudun hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, he saw a person floating on the river.

"Quick, catch it!" Xiahoudun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to fish up the people in the water, without Xiahoudun saying more, several soldiers immediately leaned over and scooped up the people with all hands and feet.

The soldier, who had eaten a lot of water, was already unconscious, but at this time he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and one of them probed his nose, and then his face froze: "General, it's out of breath, and it can't be saved!" ”

"Alas!" Xiahoudun sighed, after soaking in water for so long, it is normal to die, it seems that this soldier is not good at water, and it is reasonable to die.

The search and rescue team continued to swim, rescuing one sergeant after another, but most of them were corpses, some were killed by arrows, some were drowned alive, the northern sergeant was not good at water, this is the reason for death, and some had a breath left, and they were finally rescued, but there were very few such lucky people.

At the end of the day, Xiahoudun stopped the search and rescue, he understood that it was useless to search any further, after such a long time, the person had already been washed away by the river, and if he found it, he was afraid that he would not be able to save him.

In the afterglow of the fall, Cao's ships returned to Shuizhai one after another, and the battle was over, but a new war was still brewing, and perhaps it would not be long before Mungo would make a comeback.

Menggo's army returned all the way back to Baima, there were countless beacons along the way, and Menggo was stunned to see them, the beacon towers were clearly set up for early warning, but these places could not land, but the Cao army set up beacons, what was their purpose?

Meng Ge couldn't help but ask, "Gongming, when did these beacons appear?" ”

"General Huiyu, it has been there for a long time, and in order to prevent our army from crossing the river, Cao Jun specially set up a beacon tower!" Xu Huang hurriedly replied, Cao Jun's approach, Xu Huang also didn't quite understand.

After thinking carefully for a while, Meng Ge suddenly said: "It should be to prevent a small force of our army!" ”

"A small force!" Xu Huang was a little dazed, what was the use of sending a small force, he really couldn't think of it for a while, but soon he figured it out, this should be to deal with the poisonous dragon battalion.

Xu Huang understood the destructive power of the poisonous dragon battalion, and Cao Ying understood it very well, allowing such an enemy army to make trouble with the wind and rain, I'm afraid no one would be able to stand it, this time Cao Ying learned to be obedient and made arrangements to welcome him in advance.

Along the way, all the places that can be boarded are guarded by Cao Jun's troops, plus those places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are all terrain that is difficult to open, and the poisonous dragon battalion wants to penetrate, it is too difficult, Cao Ying chose the most secure method.

Thinking about the meaning, Meng Ge suddenly smiled and said: "Gongming, do you think I should do it and let the Poison Dragon Camp go, Cao Ying is so jealous of the Poison Dragon Camp, just let them stir up and stir up!" ”

Xu Huang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General, this is absolutely impossible, you have also seen it, there are enemy troops along the coast, and the last general thinks that even the poisonous dragon battalion can't break through the blockade!" ”

Meng Ge smiled strangely and said unconcernedly: "But the Poison Dragon Camp has passed, and his blockade is useless!" ”

"What! It's gone! Xu Huang suddenly lost his voice, he never thought that the Poison Dragon Battalion had already moved, but how did the Poison Dragon Battalion pass, the enemy army was so tightly defended, this was not right at all.

Meng Ge smiled and said: "Don't worry, our army's attack has begun, Cao Jun is guarding Puyang Water Village, then let him guard it, we just need to give a certain amount of pressure, this is enough." ”

Attacking the north from the south of the Yellow River, the enemy army is heavily guarded, and the naval force is weak, not enough to undertake the main attack task, Meng Ge has to find another way, one way does not work, then take another road, this is Meng Ge's consistent line of thinking, Meng Ge will never hang himself on a tree.

"Put some pressure!" Xu Huang thought about it, he finally understood what the meaning of this battle was.

The key lies in the word pressure, containment and counter-containment, to contain the enemy's forces on the front line of the Yellow River, if you do not exert pressure, the enemy army does not know what pain is, only by exerting huge pressure, in this way can the enemy be contained, otherwise it is yourself who is contained.

"Let's go, it's time to go back, if you don't go back, someone should be in a hurry!" Meng Ge's face was full of smiles, obviously this battle was very happy, although the results were not great, but it really boosted morale.

Fighting a war is morale, and an army that has always been invincible must have a very high morale, and by winning battles to accumulate morale, expand its advantages little by little, and fully accumulate the confidence of the naval army, Menggo's wishful thinking is very loud.

However, at this time, in the White Horse Water Village, all the soldiers were eager to see through, and they did not see Meng Ge return for a long time, everyone was really anxious, Yang Dingfang kept walking around, and he couldn't calm down.

The soldiers are in danger, attacking with 5,000 troops, if something bad happens, no one knows what to do, now the sun is about to set, and there is no return to the army, Chen Gong is also secretly anxious.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, someone suddenly shouted: "See, see, the fleet is back!" ”

"It's here, it's finally here, God willing!" Chen Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief, the ships coming slowly in the distance really made everyone happy.

Looking at the appearance of the fleet, there should be no damage, and everything will be fine, as long as Meng Ge is fine, this is stronger than anything else, and everyone can finally relax.

The ships entered the water village one after another, the flagship slowly docked, Chen Gong and others were already waiting below, and after a while, the flagship put down the plank, and Meng Ge strode off the warship.

When Mungo appeared, everyone immediately saluted and said in unison: "Welcome back the general!" ”

"Well, what are you doing here!" With such a grand gift, Meng Ge really didn't get used to it, and he was used to it casually, so he was always a little uncomfortable.

Everyone got up slowly, Chen Gong took another step forward, and said respectfully: "It's okay if the general is fine, his subordinates have already set up a banquet, the general is invited!" ”

Meng Ge's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "I said everyone, it's not a big victory, there's nothing to celebrate, let's go back!" ”

Judging from the situation today, it is obvious that the battle situation is not very favorable, Cao Jun's hole cards have not been exposed, and the next battle will become more and more intense, Meng Ge is not in the mood to have fun, and the whole battle situation is the most important.

It is said that the end of the troubled times will be said to be peaceful as soon as possible, and now is not the time to relax, this battle has fully proved that this game is not easy, Cao Ying is well prepared, and he has seen the weakness of the naval army, and it is not easy to bypass the enemy's defense line.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Meng Ge left the flagship directly, Xu Huang and Xiahou Lan also followed, and everyone turned their eyes to Xu Huang inexplicably.

Xu Huang shrugged his shoulders and said: "Look at what I do, the Cao army is well guarded, it is difficult to break through the enemy's water village, and only a little result has been achieved, and the general is not very satisfied!" ”

Chen Gong regretted it greatly, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder Meng Ge's face was not good, and he couldn't help but complain: "Hey, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Xu Huang waved his hand, signaling that he was following the general, and he didn't have time to say anything, Chen Gong was speechless for a moment, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know what to do.

Xiahou Lan didn't have much interest in fighting, and immediately followed Meng Ge, today's journey was good, his little heart was scared, and his legs were weak at this time, but it was not very sharp.
