Some of the Wei soldiers were hit by arrows, and some of them fell into the river, and then they were dragged up by their comrades. The strong crossbowmen of the Wei army hid behind their shields and did not return fire, and the effect of returning fire at this time would not be good.
The Wei army continued to approach the shore on a raft, as the distance between the two sides narrowed, the arrow rain of the Kushan army became more and more dense, and the arrows hit the shield and made a sound like rain hitting banana leaves.
When the Wei army was nearly thirty paces away from the river bank, a round of arrows from the Guishan army passed by. A Wei army standard-bearer waved the order flag in his hand suddenly, and all the strong crossbowmen suddenly showed their bodies together, according to the crossbowmen of the Guishan Army not far away, they pulled the trigger violently, only to see a strong rain of arrows roaring out, and in a crackling sound, hundreds of crossbowmen of the Guishan Army were shot to the ground, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
The Wei army rushed to the bank of the river by boat, jumped down one after another, and attacked the Kushan army front with the sword and shield hands and tower shield hands as the front. The general of the Guishan army shouted, and countless Guishan army monsters rushed out of their positions and rushed towards the Wei army.
The two sides slammed into each other and a fierce scuffle ensued on the shore.
Cao Cao looked at the battlefield and frowned: "The preparation of the Guishan Army is quite sufficient!" I'm afraid it will be difficult for the striker to achieve the goal of occupying the bridgehead! ”
Another 10,000 soldiers of the 12th Army Corps left the shore on rafts, while the rafts and bamboo platoons that had carried 5,000 Wei troops across the river in the early stage were returning.
When the Guishan army saw another unit of the Wei army coming, they immediately mobilized troops and horses towards the side where the battle was raging.
However, an unexpected scene occurred.
When the 10,000 Wei army was about to approach the battlefield, they suddenly went down the river.
This made the Guishan Army scramble.
10,000 Wei troops landed at the first wave of landing troops downstream of Yorixu, and broke through the unprepared and weakly defended garrison in one go.
This move is very beautifully played.
"Good!" Cao Cao couldn't help but scream.
The Wei army, which captured the beachhead, did not attack deeply, but relied on the occupied Kushan positions to build a defensive front. Before the Wei army was fully prepared, tens of thousands of Kushan troops arrived, and they frantically attacked the Wei front.
The Wei army resisted desperately. The battle was extremely fierce.
Cao Cao frowned, "The Twelfth Legion is a newly formed legion after all!" Command the Fifth Legion to go up at once! ”
"No!"
In fact, at the same time as Cao Cao gave the order, Cao Hong had already ordered five thousand soldiers of the Fifth Army to go to reinforcements.
The battle was fiercely fought on two beachheads. Wei reinforcements continued to enter the battle through bamboo rafts and wooden platoons. The situation of the battle gradually changed from stalemate to favor the Wei army. The strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army was fully manifested at this time.
The fierce battle lasted about two hours, and nearly 300,000 troops on both sides fought on the shore, including 100,000 Wei troops and the other 200,000 Kushan troops. In order to resist the increasingly ferocious offensive of the Wei army, the Guishan army used fire oil on the battlefield of fierce fighting between the two sides, and often a flame rose, and the dead and wounded Guishan soldiers were much more than the fallen Wei soldiers.
The Guishan Army's 'Divine Fire' not only failed to make the Wei army retreat, but instead made their own army panic, which is the so-called 'counterproductive'!
The Kushan army showed signs of inadequacy.
Three thousand Wei army Xuanjia iron cavalry landed upstream, and the leader turned out to be Xiahou Yuan, in fact, this guy came secretly, and Cao Cao was crying and laughing on the high post at this time.
Xiahou Yuan led 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry along the edge to the side of the Kushan army, and met 10,000 cavalry of the Kushan army.
"Kill!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly and took the lead in killing the Guishan cavalry.
The three thousand Xuanjia Iron Riders were like a group of fierce tigers out of the box.
Before the battle was engaged, the 10,000 Guishan army panicked.
The Wei army's iron cavalry wedged into the Guishan cavalry, and quickly rushed to kill, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia iron cavalry was extremely strong, and Xiahou Yuan was like an invincible ghost, the Guishan cavalry was killed by the wild rush of the Wei army's iron cavalry, and nearly 10,000 cavalry were killed by 3,000 iron cavalry.
Xiahou Yuan ignored these collapsed Guishan cavalry, and led the iron cavalry to turn around and kill the main flank of the Guishan army.
The Guishan army was already very difficult to resist, and was rushed by Xiahou Yuan to lead the Xuanjia, and the front was shaken.
Seeing that he couldn't hold it, Yue Kefeng had no choice but to order the army to retreat.
The Kushan army completely collapsed and scrambled to flee backwards.
The Wei army chased and killed. The entire battlefield presents a one-sided situation.
However, just as the Wei army was about to chase through a trench, a fire dragon suddenly appeared in the trench and cut off the path of the Wei army's pursuit. It turned out that Yue Kefeng had prepared for defeat in advance.
More than 100,000 defeated troops fled into the fortress of Mansella. The Wei army completely occupied the beachhead. Yueduo and Hilpa had originally planned to rely on the beachhead battle to resist the Wei army's onslaught, but they also only resisted for less than a day.
This result was not only greater than Guishuang expected, but also did not expect the Wei army.
After occupying the beachhead, the Wei army used boats and rafts to build several improvised pontoon bridges over the Indus River, and then most of the 11th Army Corps and part of the Fifth Army Corps, together with the Xuanjia and Imperial Forest Army, crossed the Indus River, while the other 50,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army remained on the north bank of the Indus River.
By the time the Wei army had all crossed the Indus, the sun was already rising.
The Wei army set up camp on the south bank, and the army rested for the time being.
"In less than a day, we captured the beachhead of the Kushan Army! I believe it won't take a day for us to capture the Mansella Fortress! Cao Hong said proudly in the big tent.
The generals couldn't help but nod, and everyone had a look of contempt on their faces.
It's no wonder that in two consecutive battles, the Kushan army failed to hold a day by virtue of its geographical advantage, not to mention the offensive and defensive battle of the Lagerman Fortress before, in that battle, the Wei army's catapult was really terrifying, and the battle just now was completely a hard fight with real swords and guns, and the Guishan army still couldn't resist a day by virtue of its geographical advantage and numerical advantage, which really made people shake their heads!
"Zilian, you should be the first to take the lead in this battle!" Cao Cao smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Hong hugged his fists, with a look of joy and pride on his face.
Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at Xiahou Yuan, who straightened his chest.
Cao Cao raised the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Miaocai!" Did I order you to attack? ”
Xiahou Yuan was stunned, and then thought of military law, and couldn't help but be surprised.
Cao Cao's expression was straight, "According to military law, what is the crime of attacking without an order?" ”
Xiahou Yuan said a little unconvinced: "But without me, Zilian and they wouldn't have won so easily!" ”
Cao Cao said categorically: "Military law is supreme, and no one can violate it!" If you don't get the order, you should be beheaded! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time, they were extremely puzzled.
"Your Majesty" Dian Wei and others wanted to intercede for Xiahou Yuan.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and said to everyone: "According to military law, he should be beheaded, but as Miaocai himself said, his meritorious service in this battle is second only to Zilian!" Therefore, the merits and demerits are offset! ”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, are you convinced?" ”
Xiahou Yuan pursed his lips, and reluctantly clenched his fists and said, "Convincing!" ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The reason why Cao Cao did this was actually to warn Xiahou Yuan, so that he would not die in vain because of his recklessness and impulsiveness in the future, Xiahou Yuan was almost killed in the canyon before because of his reckless and impulsive character, in that case, Xiahou Yuan should have taken a cavalry team as the vanguard, and he should lead the main force to follow behind, instead of rushing to the front by himself, Xiahou Yuan is a general, not a small soldier!
After the generals retreated, Dian Wei asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty, why did you just go?" ”
Cao Cao sighed, "Wonderful talents are brave and invincible, but there is one biggest problem, that is, greed for merit and recklessness!" I fear that he will die because of this, and at the same time, he will put his army in a desperate situation! ”
Dian Wei and Xu Chu nodded abruptly.
Xu Chu said with some concern: "Miaocai is very proud! I'm afraid that I won't understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, but I will have a grudge! ”
Cao Cao frowned and nodded, "It seems that I have to talk to him about it!" ”
glanced at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have nothing to do here, you are tired from fighting all day today, go and take a rest!" ”
"The last general commands!" Dian Wei and Xu Chu responded movingly.
Cao Cao came out of the big tent, left all the Imperial Forest Army behind, and came to Xiahou Yuan's camp alone.
From a distance, he saw Xiahou Yuan riding his precious war horse galloping across the school field.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile.
Cao Cao walked to the sidelines, Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Cao, but pretended not to see it, and continued to gallop on a war horse.
Cao Cao didn't speak, just stood on the edge of the school field and looked at him.
After a while, Xiahou Yuan came over by himself, jumped off the war horse, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty!" "It's like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Cao Cao smiled and patted Xiahou Yuan's arm, "Miaocai, take me for a walk!" ”
Cao Cao walked on the edge of the school field, followed by Xiahou Yuan. "Miaocai, are you angry with me?"
Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Xiahou Yuan pursed his lips, "No! ”
Cao Cao glanced back at Xiahou Yuan, "You! Everything is written on the face! And said no! ”
Xiahou Yuan did not speak.
Cao Cao sighed and asked, "Miaocai, do you know what you're worried about?" ”
Xiahou Yuan shook his head.
Cao Cao stopped, turned around, and said earnestly: "Miaocai, you are a rare brave general in the empire!" At the same time, you, like Yuan Rang and Zilian, are all my own brothers! It's my clan! I don't want anything to happen to you! I still have lingering palpitations from the last incident! ”
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be moved in his heart and nodded. (To be continued.) )
