Chapter 680: Beach-grabbing landing

In the early morning of the second day of the first month of April, more than 600 warships of the Hebei Navy Division arrived at Luokou, and in just over an hour, the Hebei Navy Division relied on its elite sailors, well-trained formations, and extremely sharp weapons to defeat the hundreds of large and small fleets put together by the Wei army in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, after a little rectification by the Hebei Naval Division, it took the initiative to start landing on the river beach.

At the foot of the mountain, one after another of the defeated troops who fled ashore after the water battle fell one after another under the sweep of the Wei army's neatly arrayed archers. The last remaining remnants of the 10,000 vanguard troops fell one after another, and finally the whole army was annihilated.

The wind was blowing, and the wild grass in the distance was shaking with the wind.

There was a faint noise of soldiers and horses from the south, and the army that Li Mi had arranged here pressed over and got closer and closer. In a sea of red people, you can clearly see the red flags and red helmets fluttering on the heads of the Wei soldiers, which are the symbols of their officers. Above the team's heads, a bright reflection of metal shimmered, and a black helmet shone with a little light.

And around the red banners and the red helmets of the officers, there are more than the bright red turbans of the soldiers, and their red battle robes.

This team, which flashed out of the night, was completely different from the defeated army of the water battle that had just been cleared by them. On a huge plain ten miles wide, the most elite inner army of the Wei army marched forward in a neat array like a wall.

A column of sixteen people, a column of sixteen people, two hundred and fifty-six people formed an infantry phalanx, and four small infantry phalanxes formed a large phalanx. On the left and right of this group of more than 1,000 infantry, there was also a cavalry team of 100 people, guarding the two wings of the infantry on both sides, and marched slowly together.

The four infantry clusters formed a larger infantry cluster. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, a group of more than 6,000 foot riders gathered ten. A two-three-three formation unfolded on the plain, like a copper wall that is constantly squeezing iron.

On the Guanling Mountains in the east of Pishan. Li Mi finally had a hint of joy on his face. He held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand. happily looked at the advancing army below that was full of slaughter. These 60,000 troops were half of his ambush troops, and they were the most elite men and horses in Wei. This is the henchman of his Li Mi to become the leader of the world alliance and the heroic man of the Central Plains.

Shen Luoyan was also holding a clairvoyant mirror and watching the battlefield below, and the Wei army was steadily advancing. It is only more than 400 steps away from the river beach. Under the advancement of such a heavy infantry and cavalry joint phalanx, she couldn't think of why the Hebei Navy Division kept not retreating at this time. Instead, he sailed the battleship to the south bank, and even he could clearly see a group of soldiers jumping into the water from the battleships, rushing towards the south bank tidal flats like ants.

Half-crossed and hit it. This is a tactic that every commander knows. It is also something that every commander will guard against and use. At present, the actions of the Hebei Navy Division are tantamount to indicating that they want to make a beach landing in front of the tens of thousands of most elite troops of the Wei army.

Shen Luoyan knew that Chen Ke's method of using soldiers was good at using strange soldiers, but at the moment, this was no longer a strange soldier, but directly hit Wei Jun's knife.

If something goes wrong, it's a demon. She waited quietly with bated breath, believing that Chen Kefu was not a fool. Because it turns out. Whoever treats Chen Kefu as a fool is the real fool. She believes that Chen Kefu's actions must have more powerful killing moves lurking.

The array of the Wei army on the plain also gradually slowed down, and the Wei generals who commanded in front of the formation also increased their vigilance against the abnormal behavior of the Hebei army. To be able to face the elite of the 60,000 Wei army in such a dark night, playing beach grabbing and landing, such a person is either a fool or a madman.

However, Wang Bodang, the general of the Wei army in command, also thought that the Hebei army was a fool, and there was only one madman left to explain. Facing a group of madmen who had just easily annihilated their 10,000 horses, Wang Bodang did not dare to be careless. …,

"Slow forward and stay in formation!" Wang Bodang rode a white horse, a silver cloak behind him, and held a long sword in his hand, galloping back and forth in front of the array.

Wang Bodang's caution made Li Mi, who was watching the battle on the mountain, a little dissatisfied. No matter what the hell the Hebei army had, in Li Mi's opinion, since they dared to land on the beach, now is the best opportunity to defeat Chen Kefu. Blindly suspicious and suspicious, that is tantamount to wasting this rare fighter. Once the Hebei Army stabilized the beachhead and set up an array, it would be a real vicious battle.

"Summons Wang Bodang, let him develop an attack immediately. Tell him that Lone has prepared wine here, and when he returns victorious, Lone will personally pour wine for him to celebrate! ”

After listening to the military orders brought by Li Mi's heralds, Wang Bodang frowned, and looked at the tall warships on the opposite side, as well as the teams of soldiers who were constantly pouring onto the river beach. He was still a little hesitant, but at this time he had to do it according to the military order.

The long sword in his hand pointed diagonally forward, and the Wei army's array suddenly erupted into an astonishing uproar. The army instantly increased its speed in a neat phalanx, and rushed straight towards the shore at the speed of a charge.

Far away, docked on the flagship of the Anlan in Hexinzhou, Zhang Zhongjian breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that Li Mi would attack, but he was afraid that Li Mi would not come. Li Mi didn't come, how could he cover King Chen to secretly go east from behind.

"Chuan Ben Shuai ordered all the large warships in Hexin Continent to prepare for the attack, firing bed crossbows, throwing stones, gunpowder packs, and rockets to cover the landing force. Another order was sent to King Zheng in the front to show the coalition forces the time had come to show the Jianghuai army's combat strength. Let them seize the beachhead at once and meet the enemy in formation on the south bank. Their task was to hold the south bank and attract the attention of the Wei army. ”

"Yes!" The heralds quickly moved away.

When the Wei army was still more than two hundred steps away from the Jianghuai army on the south bank, "Woo! ~~~”

The sound of a long horn sounded, and in an instant, on the nearly 100 or so large warships docked from Hexinzhou, huge stones, smoking powder packets, earth-shaking thunder, and rockets with bright fireworks fired a salvo towards the Wei army.

The south of Hexinzhou was only more than 100 steps away from the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Wei army was only 200 steps away from the south bank at this time. The Hebei army launched a variety of large equipment from the tall battleships, and its coverage completely enveloped the Wei army's front line.

"Woo! ~~~”

A tight horn continued to sound, and the hundreds of troop carriers on the south bank had all been built ashore, and teams of Jianghuai soldiers jumped off the boats and ran wildly towards the south bank.

"Array!"

The officers of the Jianghuai Army carried horizontal swords in their hands and roared loudly, and the soldiers who followed them quickly followed the order and quickly arranged their troops in front of the south bank.

From time to time, there was a whistling sound overhead, and all kinds of long-range weapons such as iron crossbows, boulders, rockets, and gunpowder packets flew straight towards the Wei army in front of them.

The stones projected by the catapult were so powerful that they fell in the array of the Wei army, and no amount of strong shields could resist them. The boulders were like meteorites falling from the sky, constantly splashing pieces of plasma in the array of the Wei army, and even many broken hands and feet flew into the sky. Facing the dense Wei infantry formation, every stone could take the lives of several Wei soldiers.

And the big iron crossbow fired by the winch crossbow is a man long, the attack power is even more amazing, the oversized iron crossbow is shot into the formation, the soldiers of the Wei army can not dodge at all, often a crossbow arrow will be like a string of mutton, a series of through several soldiers, string them into a string, until the strength falls. Some of the soldiers who were shot by the crossbow arrows did not die immediately, but they could only string themselves on the big iron crossbow, unable to move, wailing and screaming.

However, the lethality is astonishing, and the deterrent power is even more amazing, but the gunpowder packets, flowering bombs, rockets, poison gas bombs, smoke bombs, and other gunpowder weapons are even more amazing. The smoke bomb fell in front of the Wei army, and the diffuse smoke instantly reduced the vision of the soldiers to the minimum, and the yellow-green smoke of the poison gas bomb had a fatal hazard. …,

Immediately after that, the pig iron shell flowered cannonballs, and a large number of gunpowder bags, but they were like the bull heads and horses of the underworld, taking away the soldiers one by one.

As soon as the first round of blows had passed, the array in front of the Wei army had already begun to be chaotic. The losses of the Wei army were huge, and in just one round, hundreds of soldiers had fallen in front. If it was an ordinary rebel army, if it had been hit so hard, perhaps the front army would have been defeated.

However, this Wei army was Li Mi's most elite internal army, the most effective force in the Wei state, and after more than a quarter of an hour of chaos, the Wei army's complete armor, strong shields, and well-trained usual training allowed them to withstand the attack. Under the command of the experienced generals in the front of the Wei army, the shield phalanx and the spear phalanx cooperated with each other, and a large number of archers returned fire in the same intensive.

The Wei army did not retreat but advanced, braving the fierce long-range attack of the Hebei army, the rear of the Wei army beat the rapid and passionate war drums, and in the rumbling drum beat, the Wei soldiers broke out one after another shouts, rushing towards the front of the south bank.

Wang Bodang's judgment is very simple, the biggest advantage of the Hebei army is that they have a large number of long-range weapons, if they can't close the distance, they can start contact operations with the Hebei army. Then they can only let the various weapons keep attacking, but there is no way to fight back.

In his opinion, the fatality of the Hebei Army lies in the fact that they are sailors. As long as they rushed through this distance, the Hebei army that had just come ashore would definitely not be able to stop them. At that time, all the Hebei troops will not even have a chance to return to the ship, and they will directly drive the Hebei soldiers down the river.

"Cavalry charge, break the formation!"

The Hebei army was in front of him, and Wang Bodang could even see the panic on the faces of many soldiers. With his sword in hand, he gave the order to charge at the cavalry!
