Because the Cao army's war cavalry rushed in from the breach of the fence, its speed was already limited, and a round of impact failed to break through the infantry shield and gun defense line of the Lu Bu army, and the speed quickly disappeared. Nearly 20,000 horsemen were crowded in the download area before and after the fence of the first heavy barracks.

Zang Ba raised his broadsword and shouted: "Heavy infantry, attack!" ”

The shield and spear front immediately opened more than a dozen gaps, and nearly 10,000 hoplites wearing heavy armor, masks, and long-handled swords rushed in! The long knives of the horses were like the wind and snow, and the heavy slashing sound sounded in one piece; Blood flew all over the sky, the horses fell to the ground one by one, and the horses neighed one after another.

A hoplite rushed up to one of the horsemen, who quickly raised his lance and stabbed the hoplite in the chest, stabbing him in the chest, but failing to pierce his central armor. The hoplite stepped forward again, roared, and slashed the horse's front hooves with a sword, and the horse fell forward with a neighing and threw the knight down with a heavy blow. The hoplite stepped forward, his sword in his hand, and the knight was cut in two! The hoplites immediately turned around and killed the other cavalry.

The battlefield was very crowded, and the Cao army's war cavalry could not be used at all, but the heavy infantry of the Lu Bu army was like a fish in water, and the continuous waves of swords killed the Cao army's war cavalry on their backs, and the blood rolled wildly.

At the same time, Lu Bujun's catapult troops also became powerful, and waves of fire oil tanks fell directly into the middle of the follow-up Cao army's infantry army, the flames were churning, the sea of fire was surging, and the Cao army's infantry army was burned everywhere and the formation was chaotic!

Xun Yu looked at the scene on the battlefield and frowned tightly, turned his head to the herald beside him and ordered, "The herald orders to withdraw the army." The herald said yes and ran down.

Cao Jun's golden bell rang loudly, Cao Jun did not attack much, and immediately the front team changed to the rear team, and the rear team changed to the front team and retreated.

The battlefield fell silent, and I saw countless corpses scattered across the field, inside and outside the fence, with swords scattered all over the ground, and spears like jungles. Cao's army lost more than 10,000 people in this round of attacks, but failed to make any progress, and the losses of Lu Bu's army can be said to be insignificant! In this battle, Lu Bujun successfully took advantage of the advantage and put Cao Jun into an unfavorable environment to fight, so the situation on the battlefield can be described as one-sided!

In the dead of night, Xun Yu stood in front of the map and stared at Lu Bu's military camp, his brows furrowed. Today's day's battle made him find that Lu Bu's army's defense can be described as impregnable, and the chance of a frontal assault is slim, and even if it can be captured, I am afraid that it will be an unbearable huge price! What to do?

Xun Yu's gaze fell on Huaishui, his eyes lit up, revealing a confident smile. Immediately called the guards and ordered them to send an order to open their jaws to come and meet them. The guards took the order and left.

……

Zhuge Liang climbed the watchtower surrounded by everyone, looked into the distance, and saw Cao Jun building a pontoon bridge on the river in the distance. He frowned slightly, turned his head and asked the lookout beside him, "When did it happen?" The lookout replied: "The fog was foggy before, and I only found it after the fog cleared just now." ”

Cao Xuan looked at the river in the distance and said, "I've already repaired half of it, so I must have started it in the middle of the night!" ”

Ma Tie asked Ma Dai in a low voice, "What does the enemy want to do?" Ma Dai thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the main force of the Cao army failed to attack the camp on the south bank of our army yesterday, so he wants to attack our Dingfengjin camp directly!" ”

Zhuge Liang said to Cao Xing: "Immediately dispatch three thousand Tiger Wing Army crossbowmen to step forward and prevent the other party from building a pontoon bridge!" Cao Xing promised and ran down.

Cao Xuan personally led 3,000 Tiger Wing Army infantry crossbowmen to the shore and carefully designed the Cao army who was building a pontoon bridge. Many of the Cao soldiers who were working were shot down, and others ran along the pontoon bridge that had been built to the opposite bank; At the same time, the Cao army's naval warship approached, and the Cao army's crossbowmen used their bows and crossbows to return fire at the Lu Bu army on the shore, and the two sides fired across the water, and the rain of arrows flew staggered to cover the water!

The crossbowmen of Lü Bujun couldn't support it and retreated, and Cao Jun continued to build pontoon bridges.

Cao Xing ran back to Zhuge Liang and said breathlessly: "Strategist, the firepower on the other party's ship is very fierce, and our crossbowmen are unobstructed on the shore, which is difficult to fight!" ”

Ma Daijian said: "It's better to deploy the stone cart and the bed crossbow to attack!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "The catapults are all arranged in the north and south camps, and there is nothing superfluous. ”

Cao Xuan frowned and said, "If there is no catapult, I'm afraid it will be difficult to organize them to build a pontoon bridge!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "If you can't stop it, then don't stop it." "The generals don't understand. Zhuge Liang gave a series of orders, and the generals took the orders and left.

In the afternoon, the pontoon bridge of the Cao army was built along the line, and the warships of the Cao army came to the shore one after another, putting on the bows and crossbows of the sailors and preparing to attack, while Wei Yan led an infantry army of 20,000 men to cross the river first. Before he had time to line up, the gate of the Dingfengjin camp suddenly opened, and Ma Tie led 10,000 blue wolf army cavalry to roar out of the camp, like a torrent opening the gate, surging and agitating!

Wei Yan was shocked and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hurry up and line up.

The Cao army on the shore hurriedly shot, and the rain of arrows fell, causing countless ripples in the cavalry wave, but it couldn't stop the raging tide at all!

Cao's infantry army was in a mess, and for a while, it was impossible to line up at all. At this moment, 10,000 blue wolf army cavalry slammed into the middle of the Cao army like a torrent, rushed forward, and rushed the Cao army to pieces, the horse stepped on the knife and slashed, the spear stabbed the head, and the Cao army was killed so that the people on their backs and the horses were crushed!

Wei Yan hurriedly led the rout troops onto the pontoon bridge and fled the same way.

The Cao army's naval army continued to shoot, and the blue wolf army's war cavalry suffered a lot of losses, and quickly retreated into the camp. On the riverbank, there were thousands of corpses of the Cao Army and hundreds of corpses of the Blue Wolf Army. There was a tumult just now, but now it has become extremely silent.

Wei Yan took a breath, panicked in his heart, and led his infantry to cross the river again. This time he learned wisely, and had all the shieldmen, pikemen, and pikemen line up and go up the bridge, and then cross the river without haste. As soon as the river was crossed, all the sergeants did not disperse, and slowly lined up one after another shield and gun formations, so that the cavalry of Lu Bu's army had no chance to take advantage of.

It took more than an hour for Wei Yan's 80,000 infantry troops to cross the Huai River and form a huge circular battle formation, with shields and guns outside, crossbowmen and other troops in the middle, and Wei Yan's general flag in the middle.

The huge circular array slowly moved forward, approaching the Dazhai of the Dingfeng Jin Lu Bu Army, and stood up. Immediately, Wen Ping led 40,000 steps to ride over, and set up a camp behind the circle formation, backed by Huaishui and Yingshui.
