Chapter 569: Assault on the Momentum
Thousands of Leopard Tao soldiers marched forward in a wedge-shaped battle formation, shouting step by step, as if the mountains were moving forward, but in fact, it was pressing, shaking the earth and trembling, raising smoke and dust in the sky! Thousands of tiger troops lined up in a circle, and these warriors who held a beast-faced devouring shield in one hand and a ring-headed broadsword in the other hand were close together, forming a wall with shields, calm as an abyss, waiting tightly.
The Leopard Tao Army roared like a train and crashed into the circle of the Tiger Army, and after a violent crash that made the scalp tingle, the battle formations of the two sides dispersed, and the soldiers of the two sides were intertwined and fought fiercely! It was as if nearly 10,000 fierce tigers were desperately waving their minions and teeth in the wilderness, and their ears were full of tiger-like roars, which made people tremble in fear and tremble, and the sky and the earth were dyed with blood by the blood flying in the sky. The soldiers on both sides are warriors of China, fighting bravely, not giving in to each other, killing the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon are dark!
Xu Huang brandished a battle axe to find Xu Chu, and Xu Chu also brandished a big axe to find Xu Huang. The two kings of the beasts slammed into each other in the midst of thousands of troops, a pair of battle axes collided, booming, and the two generals killed in the dust, inseparable, as if two demonic beasts were fighting!
Just when the elite of the two sides was fighting fiercely, the 60,000 infantry troops of the Leopard Tao Army crossed the Huai River one after another, and the two big pincers like giant crabs on the left and right outflanked the Tiger Ben Army.
Xu Chu and Xu Huang fought fiercely, and after thirty rounds, they saw that they had the upper hand, but they saw a large army of the enemy outflanking. Xu Chu didn't dare to fight, so he could only give up Xu Huang and lead his army to retreat. Xu Huang was unforgiving, leading the army to chase after him, and the two sides chased and fought in the east on the field, and people continued to fall on the wilderness, and the blood stained red.
At the same time, a contingent of 10,000 infantry troops is building pontoon bridges on the Huai River, and a 5,000-strong infantry army is riding a bamboo raft on the river surface more than ten miles downstream to drive wooden stakes under the river, pulling iron cables on the river, and is very busy, while barracks are being erected on the bank, and heavy equipment such as catapults, lathes, and crossbows are entering.
……
Zhang Lang, who was having fun with his wives and concubines, suddenly heard that Zhuge Liang had an emergency military situation, and hurried to the front. He took the letter from the herald's hand and read it quickly, with a look of surprise on his face. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to call Huang Yueying and show her Zhuge Liang's letter. After Huang Yueying saw it, she said excitedly: "Great! Mr. Kong Ming really deserves to be the right-hand man of the eldest brother, and seized this opportunity to capture the Cao Army Water Village in one fell swoop, and also captured a large number of Cao Army sailors and warships! ”
Zhang Lang said: "The 100,000 soldiers of the Leopard Taowei and the 80,000 soldiers of the War Bear Legion have crossed the Huaishui and surrounded Huainan City. Huainan City now has 100,000 Cao troops and 100,000 people's troops! These 180,000 soldiers are anxious to be difficult to capture! ”
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "I'm afraid what the eldest brother is worried about is not this, but the enemy's water army!" ”
Zhang Lang said with emotion: "Sister Yueying is really my confidante, you know my thoughts." Huang Yueying blushed slightly.
Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to Huaishui, "Although Kong Ming is tightly guarded on the Huai River, I am still worried!" Cao Jun's water army is too strong after all! In case the other side breaks through the river and cuts off the connection between our northern and southern armies, the situation will not be good! Huang Yueying frowned and nodded, and said to Zhang Lang: "Mr. Kong Ming must have also encountered this, and he will be careful again!" Zhang Lang touched his chin and thought: "If you can capture Huainan in one fell swoop, then it will not be a problem." He said to Huang Yueying: "All the affairs of Luoyang are handed over to you." Huang Yueying immediately realized Zhang Lang's intentions, "Big brother is going to the front line?" Zhang Lang nodded.
Xu Chu led his men all the way to the east and retreated into Huainan. Soon after, the 170,000 troops led by Xu Huang and Zang Ba entered the city of Huainan, and did not immediately start attacking, but waited for the various siege equipment to come up.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang drew 10,000 infantry troops from Zang Ba's war bear army and built a camp on the south bank of the Huai River, echoing the camp on the north bank, and blocking the river with iron cable stakes on the water.
As soon as the camp on the south bank was completed, the soldiers and horses moved in, and the equipment was in place, Zhang Jaw led tens of thousands of sailors to pour in from the river, and hundreds of buildings and boats covered the river, and the battle began.
Zhang Jaw ordered some of the ships to suppress the enemy camps on both sides, while another fleet was sent to cut the iron cables and pull out the stakes.
The boat gradually sailed into the shore, and countless stones suddenly flew out of the camp on the shore, and the soldiers of Cao Jun were all shocked. The stones rained down into the river, making countless splashes, and the otherwise calm general boiled in an instant; Many stones smashed into the ship, and with a loud crackling sound, the mast fell, the wall of the ship was smashed into a large hole, the deck collapsed, and the hapless sergeant was directly hit by the flying stones, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The two fleets that tried to suppress Lu Bu's army camp were suddenly dizzy by the powerful fire from the shore, and hurriedly retreated. Immediately, the fire from both sides of the river gathered on the fleet that tried to destroy the iron stakes, and the waves rolled on the river, and the large and small warships staggered in the middle of the waves, and the sailors fell into the river one by one, and the big ships were smashed into sawdust. The fleet could not hold it anymore and hurriedly retreated.
Zhang Jaw looked at the Lu Bu military camp on the south bank, then at the camp on the north bank, and then at the dozen or so very stiff iron cables on the river and the dense wooden piles looming on the water, he couldn't help frowning, and ordered the army to temporarily retreat to the east bank of Yingshui.
Cao Pi was sleeping with two beautiful concubines in his arms, and he didn't know the passage of events in the gentle township, and before he knew it, it was already midnight.
Bang bang bang...... Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door. Cao Pi, who was on the rise, was startled, and the two charming concubines were all disgraced.
Cao Pi turned his head and yelled at the door: "What are you doing? Looking for death? ”
Outside stopped slamming the door, and then the anxious voice of the guard came: "Lord, Huainan emergency military situation!" ”
Cao Pi frowned, and raised his voice: "Got it." Then he fished a handful on the breasts of the two concubines, and said with a smile: "Wait for me to come back." The two girls laughed stupidly.
Cao Pi put on his shirt and trousers, put on his robe, and left the room. As soon as the guards guarding the door saw Cao Pi, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Huainan emergency military situation!" ”
Cao Pi frowned, "What about people?" ”
"Wait in the front hall."
Cao Pi hurried towards the hall.
In the hall, Cao Pi read the military intelligence report he had just sent, and his face changed greatly, "So that's the case?" At a loss, he immediately ordered the guards to summon Sima Yi and Xu Yu to come over immediately to discuss the matter.
