Chapter 658: Fighting
As soon as Cao Ren, who was closest to him, received Cheng Yu's news, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent scouts to inquire about the situation within more than thirty miles upstream and downstream. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎ Smart children remember to update the super fast hand.◎ This inquiry, he also became nervous, and the scouts found traces of Yuan Jun in four or five places, all of which may become places to cross the river, but the situation is far less serious than that directly opposite Cheng Yu.
However, Cao Ren didn't think so, the battlefield was false and real, and the news that the scouts had detected could not be completely correct, and it was not impossible if the other party deliberately concealed it. On the one hand, he sent people to those places to guard down and strengthen surveillance, and on the other hand, he sent people to inform Cheng Yu, telling him to strictly guard his position and report the situation at any time.
Cheng Yu has now made friends with the trial on the other side, and the two sides are across the water and attack each other with arrow arrays. Under the cover of the arrow array, the pontoon bridge was pushed into the water, and some of the soldiers swam across the river, trying to establish a covering position on the riverbank, and some of the soldiers hid on the pontoon bridge and tried to extend to the north bank.
Yu Ban had no heavy equipment, only bows and crossbows, and he laid a row of sword and shield men and two rows of crossbowmen on the north bank to violently hit the soldiers of Yuan who were swimming in the water. He also sent some soldiers with two-zhang long wooden forks to resist the pontoon bridges that were about to land, and at the same time blocked the top of the pontoon bridges with bows and crossbows, so as to prevent Yuan Jun from rushing over and fighting.
With the rain of arrows, the soldiers of Yuan who were swimming in the water were strongly blocked. Although they held their shields above their heads to block arrows, but after all, it was not as convenient as on the shore in the water, and Cao Jun locked the target of the shè attack on their underwater bodies, and the arrows entered the water, their strength weakened, and the damage was still not small. Most of the Yuan army wore leather armor, and they couldn't block the bow and crossbow attacks at close range. As the crossbow arrows broke through the water, a pool of blood poured up from the water, the river turned red, and one by one the soldiers of Yuan fell less than ten steps from the shore. Even though a few of them were lucky enough to go ashore, in the face of the Cao army's foot soldiers who were waiting for the battle, they were alone and unable to break the formation, and they were killed on the shore one by one. He was thrown into the water again.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, but the Yuan army was never able to gain a foothold on the north bank, and the pontoon bridge was tossed in the river for a long time, and it seemed that there was only a distance of two or three zhang left to complete it. But he has not been able to complete his full success, and Sergeant Yuan, who was waiting to cross the river to fight, looked at the distance of two or three zhang with a blank eye, anxious, but helpless.
Sitting on a baggage cart, the judge kept his eyes on the battlefield, and seeing that both sides were a little tired, he ordered a temporary halt to the attack. Take a break. The sound of the golden gong sounded, and the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan, who had failed to attack in vain, withdrew to the south bank one after another, and the craftsmen of the baggage battalion also collected the pontoon bridge in the center of the river, and stepped up the time to rectify it in preparation for another battle.
Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although Yuan's offensive was fierce, it seemed unlikely that he would break through the forbidden position all at once. He turned his attention elsewhere. Cao Ren has not yet received the latest news, but he believes that Yuan Jun should have more than such an attack point. There must still be the main force of Yuan's army hidden elsewhere, but it has not yet been launched.
Cheng Yu naturally guessed that Yuan Shao was about to launch a full-scale attack, he didn't think at all that the trial and Wen Chou did not get Yuan Shao's orders, they were just acting on their own, and the other points were all suspicious soldiers, just to confuse him. No matter how careful Cheng Yu's thinking was, he would not have thought that the trial would be so bold.
Soon, Cao Ren came with the news that Tian Feng's traces had been found near Lei Ze, and the number was about five thousand. There were a lot of cavalry, and he had already arranged for someone to go over to block the attack, and asked Cheng Yu to improve his vigilance.
Cheng Yu was even more nervous, and Tian Feng's appearance confirmed his conjecture that the Yuan family was going to attack. He sent a large number of scouts to find out the news in the vicinity so as not to be caught off guard. Extrapolated over time. Cao Cāo of Dingtao should have received the news by now, and the main reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as he holds his position before Cao Cāo arrives, and does not let the trial match and Wen Chou successfully cross the river.
Just when Cheng Yu was focusing on something else, the second attack of the trial began. The soldiers of the Yuan army were busy again, the soldiers who were swimming in the water carried their shields and got into the water, and the soldiers who built the pontoon bridge got under the pontoon bridge and pushed the pontoon bridge to swim to the north bank. The soldiers who were preparing to cross the bridge and attack lined up in formation, ready to charge at any time.
Yu Banyan waited for the battle, paying close attention to every move on the other side, but he didn't notice the big banner quietly raised by the judge.
It was Wen Chou's battle flag.
Wen Chou's battle flag did not appear on the opposite side at first, which Yu Ban knew very well, and now that it has appeared, it is not unusual, as long as they are still on the other side, whether he appears or not, it will not affect the battle situation. Because he was supposed to be there.
But this point soon made Yu Ban regret it.
Wen Chou, who was hiding in the reeds, saw his battle flag, and he knew that his opportunity to attack was ripe.
Wen Chou stood up, drew his sword from its sheath, waved his hand back, and was the first to rush out of the reeds. Three hundred guards followed him closely, stepping on the shallow waters of the river. The splashing of water, the sound of rushing water, and the disturbed reeds soon alarmed the Cao army scouts patrolling the shore, and after a brief verification, they hurriedly turned around and ran towards the camp.
Wen Chou didn't pay attention to those scouts at all, he was only three miles away from the battlefield by the river, let go of his feet and ran wildly, just drinking a glass of water and gossiping. Since Cheng Yu is not on the battlefield, it will take at least so long for him to rush over, and what he wants is to defeat Yu Ban's resistance before Cheng Yu arrives, so that the pontoon bridge can be erected. As long as the pontoon bridge is erected, the army will continue to cross the Jishui and gain a firm foothold, and at that time, even if Cheng Yu arrives, they will no longer be able to drive them back to Henan.
Victory or defeat is in this short moment.
Wen Chou ran wildly, and the guards behind him also knew the key point, and they riveted their strength one by one and ran with Wen Chou.
By the river, the battle between the two sides was stimulating, hundreds of Yuan soldiers had already swam to the center of the river, and four or five pontoon bridges had pushed across the center of the river, only three or four zhang away from the north bank. All those who lead troops know that once they are vigorous, they will decline again, and they will be exhausted in three times. As long as they can repel this attack of the Yuan army, then the victory is basically in their hands, because Yu Ban did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and put his whole body and mind on the battlefield, and his eyes almost did not dare to blink, for fear of missing any information.
Right here, the scout waved the red flag in his hand and rushed in one breath. Yu Ban's eyes tightened, and he shouted loudly: "What are you panicking about? ”
The scout was startled, quickly stopped his steps, stopped in front of the general, gasped, and said loudly: "Captain, the north shore has found traces of Yuan Jun. ”
"North Shore?" Yu Ban was taken aback, he raised his head, looked to the west, and saw a group of Yuan troops rushing out of the river bank and rushing towards him. He suddenly felt a cool breath rushing to the back of his head, and while pulling out his battle knife, he shouted loudly: "Guard the battalion, follow me to meet the enemy!" ”
The guard battalion responded loudly and followed closely. Yu Ban didn't think much about it, and while observing the number of people on the other side, he was relieved to see that there were only about three or four hundred people. He rushed to the west of the formation, and while making people anxious to report Cheng Yu, he hurriedly laid down the blocking formation. There was originally a small blocking formation of more than 100 people here, plus his 200 personal guard battalion, which should be able to hold out until Cheng Yu came to help.
Wen Chou saw the movement of the forbidden battle flag, and his heart was in a hurry, he raised his knife and roared: "Rush over and kill all those crossbowmen!" ”
The soldiers responded with a bang, quickened their pace, and divided into two teams, one team followed Wen Chou towards Yu Ban, and the other team continued to gallop along the river, directly attacking the crossbowmen who were arrayed by the river.
Yu Ban was in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to intercept it. In a hurry, Wen Chou had already arrived like an angry lion, Yu Ban stared at his figure tightly, and shouted: "shè! ”
The guards raised their crossbows, and dozens of crossbow arrows galloped away, rushing towards Wen Chou.
Wen Chou had already taken precautions, bowed slightly, raised a shield with his left hand to protect his head, chest and abdomen, dragged his right hand on the war knife, gritted his teeth and ran wildly.
"Tuk Tuk!" Several crossbow arrows hit the shield, and one shè hit Wen Chou's left leg. Wen Chou didn't notice the pain at all, he ran in front of him, roared, and crashed into his body, the war knife in his right hand was like electricity, and he cut the neck of a Cao sergeant.
One person is desperate, ten people are difficult, Wen Chou knew that he didn't have much time, so he went all out as soon as he made a move, killed three people in a row in a blink of an eye, rushed to the front of Yu Ban, and raised his knife to split. Yu was in a hurry to prohibit the matter, and he was worried about the crossbowmen by the river, his mind was in turmoil, where was the desperate opponent of Wen Chou, who was killed by Wen Chou and retreated again and again, only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back. The soldiers under him were even more embarrassed, being pressed and beaten by the fierce and vicious Yuan soldiers, if it wasn't for Yu Ban being by their side, maybe they would have to disperse in a hurry.
But despite this, they didn't last long. With the screams of the crossbowmen on the shore being attacked by a sneak attack, Yu Banshou made a move slowly, and Wen Chou seized the opportunity to slash three times in one breath, forcing him to take two steps back. Wen Chou took the opportunity to slash in, slashed and killed, slashed and wounded seven or eight Cao soldiers one after another, penetrated Yu Ban's blocking formation, and rushed towards the river.
The soldiers of Cao who lined up near the river were attacked from the front and back, and Yu Ban was not there, and there was no one to command, so they immediately became chaotic, and they began to rout after not holding out for long. The trial will see the situation on the north bank of the river clearly, where will this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed. At the sound of the order, the soldiers waiting in the water paddled hard, rushed ashore, and flanked Cao's army with Wen Chou. The soldiers who built the pontoon bridge were not lazy, shouted the trumpet, and pushed the pontoon bridge to the north bank in one breath.
"Array, array!" Wen Chou hissed and roared, and the soldiers who were fighting with Cao Jun immediately gathered around him to form a blocking formation. Behind them, Sergeant Yuan stepped on the pontoon bridge and crossed the river quickly.
Cheng Yu, who received the news, arrived with a large army, and when he saw Wen Chou, who had already lined up on the shore, he turned pale with anger.
"General ......" Yu Ban rushed to Cheng Yu and lowered his head in shame.
"Now is not the time to blame yourself." Cheng Yu waved his hand and interrupted Yu Ban's words, "Immediately bring your people to rush forward, smash the pontoon bridge, and recapture the position." I have sent someone to report to General Cao Ren urgently, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will arrive soon. ”
"Whoa." Yu Ban was overjoyed, and turned around with the remnants of the soldiers and pounced back.
