Chapter 280: Crossing the River

With the rapid advance of Meng Ge, the startled Cao Ying immediately took action, Dongjun couldn't stay in this place, and he had to retreat to the north of the Yellow River immediately, so that he could be safe for the time being, he originally wanted to make a little more capital, but now Cao Ying couldn't take care of it at all, no matter what, it was important to run for his life.

Taking advantage of the fact that Meng Ge has not yet opened the siege, escaping from the encirclement is the right way, just a few days after arriving in Dongjun, Cao Ying has to flee in a panic again, this is not going to escape, Meng Ge is already about to hit the door, once Meng Ge is crucified in Dong County, defeat is not far away.

After getting the latest movement of Menggo's army, Cao Ying immediately ordered the whole army to march and go to Puyang first, and then the soldiers, who had just rested for a few days, had to go on the road again.

"Hurry up, don't be slow, Mongo is coming soon, if you don't want to become Mongo's ghost, then hurry up for me!" In the chaotic camp, there are constantly people shouting, although this is detrimental to morale, but at the moment there is not so much to care about, everything is still to save your life first.

Xiahoudun looked at it with a frosty face, Cao Hong was also on the side, the two didn't say anything, the atmosphere was slightly depressing, people chased and beat, this taste was really not very pleasant, from the eyes of the two, they could see the fire, but they couldn't help it, everyone knew how powerful Meng Ge was.

The camp was cleaned up quickly, and after a while, Cao Ying rushed over, and the army was basically cleaned up, and when they saw Cao Ying coming in person, Xiahou and Cao Hong did not dare to slack off, and immediately greeted them.

The busy figures of the soldiers kept shuttling, Cao Ying patted the shoulders of the two, and said with emotion: "Now that the situation is difficult, I have to rely on your help, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" ”

Xiahoudun was suddenly displeased and said: "Mengde, don't say such things, they are all their own brothers, this is all as it should be!" ”

Cao Hong also said solemnly: "That's it, Meng De, don't say such things in the future, otherwise I'll turn my face!" ”

With such two helpers, Cao Ying chuckled with relief: "A certain gaffe, okay, don't gossip, let's go immediately, time waits for no one, if you don't leave, Meng Ge will have to come over, hurry up!" ”

"Yes!" The two arched their hands and immediately responded, as the vanguard, the two of them have a great responsibility, and they have to be responsible for the crossing of the river, and the time is really urgent.

Not long after, the Cao army camp had a movement, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong led the troops to set off, straight to the direction of Puyang, but all this is under the gaze of Dian Wei, the Cao army was well guarded before, has been hiding in the city, Dian Wei suffered from no chance, now it's good, the opportunity finally appeared.

As long as the enemy comes out, it will be much easier, Dian Wei's eyes flashed, in the face of this small vanguard force, Dian Wei was very interested, but the next situation made Dian Wei hesitate.

After a while, Li Daniu came running and said, "Captain, it seems that the enemy has poured out!" ”

Dian Wei frowned suddenly, and asked puzzledly: "Oh, isn't that the enemy's vanguard?" ”

Li Daniu said hesitantly: "It should be, but the other party is very cautious, the gap between the two armies is very small, we don't seem to have a chance, it seems inappropriate to fight and run, and the terrain here is not very familiar, it is very unfavorable to us, Captain, you see if you let it go!" ”

This area is not their home field, and the terrain of the jungle is not familiar, although Dian Wei is Chen Liuren, but he is not familiar with the terrain here, if he attacks rashly at this time, it is very likely to be counterattacked in the end, which is not good, Dian Wei suddenly fell into contemplation.

After a while, Dian Wei said: "Look at the direction they left, they should go north to Puyang, then that means that our task is completed, as long as the enemy goes north, then there is nothing for us, but if you come out in vain, you and I must be unwilling, Da Niu, you say, are we looking for a chance to do him." ”

Li Daniu hesitated and said: "Du Wei, it is natural to be unwilling, but where is this opportunity, there are a lot of enemies, Cao Ying walked around Dongjun, this number of people and horses has increased, now there are 5,000 people and horses, we can't swallow them in one bite, Du Wei, don't you say?" ”

"Nonsense, head-on confrontation, unless it is in a special environment, even if we win, we will win miserably, the general is not allowed to do this, of course I know, but I don't think about this, since the other party is cautious in marching, that means there is no chance for the time being, but we can be in front of them, looking for trouble with the ferry, such a simple truth, don't you understand!"

Dian Wei scolded like this, and Li Daniu suddenly said: "Du Wei, do you mean that we will sabotage the ferry, delay their crossing of the river, and then cooperate with the large army to besiege the enemy?" ”

Dian Wei said excitedly: "That's it, go and pass on my military order, start the forced march now, and destroy the ferry first!" Also, immediately send someone back and ask for cavalry support! ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Li Daniu immediately ran down, this is the time to be faster, if he can destroy the boat before the other party and occupy the location of crossing the river, there may be a certain chance.

Almost at the same time as Xiahoudun's action, Dian Wei led the poisonous dragon battalion to start a forced march, but compared to speed, it was obvious that Dian Wei was superior, and before he knew it, Dian Wei had surpassed Xiahoudun.

The two armies started a race, Dian Wei knew the enemy's location, but Xiahou Tang didn't know Dian Wei's location, no one knew that the poisonous dragon camp had touched it, Xia Hou Tang was still pondering, and after arriving at the expected location, how to arrange it next.

But Dian Wei grabbed in front of him, after half a day of wild running, Dian Wei finally arrived at the Yellow River, looking at the surging Yellow River, Dian Wei did not have the slightest sense of appreciation, just arrived on the ground, Dian Wei immediately unfolded the map, but the map is not very accurate.

It is not so clear exactly where the river can be crossed, and the place where he stands can be the place to cross the river, but there is not even a boat in sight.

Tian Mao frowned and said: "Captain, there are too many places, maybe they have already prepared and hid the boat, this Yellow River is so long, we can't find it!" ”

If you can't see a boat, it means that the place is wrong, Dian Wei had to ask: "Where is Cao Jun and where is the specific direction?" ”

"Returning to your lordship!" Li Daniu stood up and said suspiciously: "My lord, in fact, Xiahoudun is rushing here, we have already rushed in front of them, but there are no ships here!" ”

Is the direction right? Dian Wei frowned suddenly, since the direction is right, then why are there no boats, this is obviously unreasonable, and there are no people around here, in this case, how is the other party going to cross the river, Dian Wei is puzzled, what tricks is this Cao Jun playing?

Looking at the vast Yellow River, Dian Wei couldn't help but be irritable, and took the lead to deal with the ferry, but found that there was no ferry at all.

"Captain, is it possible that this is the case, the ship is on the opposite side!" Tian Mao pointed to the opposite side, where there might be a lot of ships, in order to avoid the destruction of the enemy, this method could not be better.

Judging from the current situation, there are no boats to cross the river here, and there are no fishermen, and it is impossible to cross the river from here, but if a boat is sent from the opposite side, then it can be done, which means that this is a one-way street, and only by sending boats from the opposite side can the river be crossed.

"That's right!" Dian Wei stood up suddenly, but then it fell into decay, if this boat is on the opposite side, then there is really no way, it is impossible to swim across the Yellow River to destroy, this is too boundary.

Li Da Niu suddenly said decadently: "If the ship is really on the other side, if this is the case, isn't our action in vain?" ”

Dian Wei pondered for a while, and said coldly: "No, it's still useful, the other party always has to cross the river, don't we, let's rob their tails, catch a little bit of it, let the brothers immediately erase the traces and hide, I think they will cross the river soon, and when the time comes, let's kill him again, and kill him by surprise!" ”

"That's right, even if you can't destroy them all, you have to let them leave something behind!" Tian Mao clenched his fists hard, although he was unwilling to let go of the enemy, but for the sake of now, he could only do so.

No ships were found at the coastal location, Dian Wei could only give up the predetermined plan and arrange other plans, as long as he kept an eye on the movements of the Cao army, then there would always be a chance to make a move, and when crossing the river, it was the time when the enemy army was most vulnerable, and attacking at that time might be able to achieve miraculous results.

The poisonous dragon camp was immediately hidden, they were quietly waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow, just under the nose of Dian Wei, Xiahoudun finally came to the vicinity of the shallows, the expected location is this location, but there is no ferry here.

Looking at the Yellow River in front of him, Cao Hong said worriedly: "Second, it's not early, let's hurry up, let's start building a pontoon bridge, we have to get on the boat from the pontoon!" ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said nervously: "Well, you have to hurry up, it won't be long before this team of people arrives!" ”

According to the predetermined plan, a short pontoon bridge had to be built first, and then ships could be boarded from the pontoon, which was a temporary port, and in this situation, this method was also a last resort.

The construction of the pontoon bridge was carried out rapidly, the soldiers were felling, and they did what they had to do, Cao Jun immediately started the work step by step, and Dian Wei, who was hiding on the side, frowned, and he was very puzzled by the enemy's approach, and he couldn't see the other party's intentions for the time being.

Looking at the movement of the enemy army, Tian Mao was puzzled: "Hey, big cow, what is the other party doing cutting down trees, is it a temporary shipbuilding?" ”

"It's not like that!" Li Daniu shook his head, he felt that this was unlikely, temporary shipbuilding would not work at all, I was afraid that he would not even be able to go into the water, and he wanted to carry people across the river, it was simply whimsical.

After a while, the things built by the other party were slightly rudimentary, and Dian Wei realized that the other party was building a pontoon bridge, in short, this was a temporary wharf, and it seemed that the other party was not going to use a small boat to transport, but was ready to board the ship one after another, as long as the opposite side sent a boat.

Building a pontoon bridge and transporting a small boat are two concepts at all, Li Daniu frowned and said, "What should I do, continue to wait?" ”

Dian Wei raised his eyebrows, and said confidently: "Of course, when half of them are gone, the next thing is the opportunity, it is a little difficult to deal with all the enemies, but against half of the enemy army, it is much less difficult, let the brothers prepare, it is estimated that they will cross the river tonight, we have to start preparing!" ”

If it is a complete enemy army, Dian Wei is not sure that it will be completely destroyed, but only a part, then there is no big problem, before the enemy is not all on the ship, the idea of attacking the enemy army is good, but the enemy army may not give you a chance, the key depends on the situation.

Waiting is always irritating, with the arrival of Cao Jun one after another, Dian Wei did not dare to be careless, all the people of the Poison Dragon Battalion dived down, like a dormant tiger, before the prey was negligent, Dian Wei never chose to attack.

The movement below has been watched, but the distance is a little far, the monitoring of the poisonous dragon battalion is not complete, only the general outline of the enemy army can be seen, as more and more people appear, the opposite side has also changed, the ships appear on the river, dense boats, see people's eyes are spent.

Looking at the flag raised high, Dian Wei had to praise: "Good means, it should be through the flag to transmit the message, this trick is good, the width of this place is not too wide, and the larger flag can still be seen clearly!" ”

But now is not the time to admire, Li Daniu said quietly: "Captain, there are so many ships, they should be able to pass over at one time, what should I do?" ”

"It doesn't matter, wait for them to get on the boat, let's attack again, we can't make a mistake!" Dian Wei is also really playing the drum in his heart, and he can't work hard, so he can only choose this method, and how many people can be left is still unknown.

Nervous waiting, with the appearance of the boat, the time is getting more and more urgent, Cao Ying has arrived at this time, choosing to get on the boat in this place, Cao Ying is helpless, it is too late to go to other ferries at this time, this is the nearest river crossing location, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Cao Ying can only do this.

The more he arrived at this time, the more uneasy Cao Ying became, looking carefully at the surrounding forests, he always felt his eyelids jumping, and he always felt uneasy in his heart.

The sky gradually darkened, and Tian Mao, who had been waiting for him, suddenly said: "Captain, look, the enemy is ready to cross the river!" ”

"Don't make a noise, I saw it!" Dian Wei calmly pressed his hand, signaling everyone not to be exposed, it was not yet the time for the final action, and now the enemy had just crossed the river.

Only when the enemy's defense is the weakest is the best fighter, and now it can't be rushed, Dian Wei is an experienced hunter, and he knows what to do at this time.

has been waiting for a long time, and the soldiers of the Poison Dragon Battalion have long been impatient, but Dian Wei is desperately suppressing everyone's **, just behind Dian Wei, everyone has already begun to shake.

Seeing the enemies boarding the ship one by one, Li Daniu shouted anxiously: "Fight, Du Lieutenant, if you don't beat anyone again, you will run away!" ”

Dian Wei's eyes never left the enemy, although the sky had turned dark, but he could see the enemy's movements, and at this time the enemy was boarding the ship, and he was almost half of the people.

When the time came, Dian Wei waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Touch it, be careful!" ”

After waiting for a long time, Li Daniu and the others suddenly understood, and the impatient crowd quickly approached, and the battle was about to break out, and Cao Ying, who was crossing the river, was still in the dark, and the danger was quietly approaching......
