Chapter 967 The strange soldier is prominent

Seeing that the striker had gained a firm foothold on the opposite bank, the morale of the Jiangdong Army was greatly boosted, and they ignored the arrows and stones like rain, and rushed to the pontoon bridge like a tide.

The 30,000 horses that followed Sun Ce to the north were all gathered when he was rampant in the river over the years, and he had already been branded with a profound Jiangdong Xiaobawang.

In all senses, today's battle is not inferior to the battle when Xiang Yu crossed Zhangshui and broke the Qin army under Julu City. Under the dual influence of the determination to break the kettle and the battlefield where it can play its strengths, the power of this army can only be described as terrifying.

The people who built the bridge were affected, and the speed of their hands suddenly increased. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, as long as the bridge is built, they may be able to withdraw from the battlefield alive, instead of dying in a foreign land, and their bones will not be buried in the ground.

With the help of the cover of the forwards, two more pontoon bridges were completed one after another, and the speed of moving troops forward increased by three times. Rao is like this, the Jiangdong army still feels that it is not fast enough, they use the remaining rafts, back and forth between the turbid waves, covering the sky and arrows, and they actually want to use this as a supplement to transport troops!

Driven by this frenzy, the vanguard of the bridgehead actually beat the phalanx of the Qingzhou army back with fewer enemies and more enemies, and the space vacated became larger and larger, and more Jiangdong troops poured up to the riverbed and rushed to the enemy position.

The Qingzhou army guarding the river bank is dominated by militia, and it is not surprising that it cannot stop the onslaught of Jiangdong's elite. In fact, their performance is already very good, if they are replaced by an ordinary rabble, and they are rushed by the Jiangdong Army with the determination to die, maybe the entire military formation will be penetrated.

In this regard, the Qingzhou Army naturally could not sit idly by.

The key to defending the danger is not to completely prevent the enemy from crossing the river, but to launch a siege while the enemy's foothold is not stable, so as to form a local superiority in troops, kill and wound the enemy in large numbers, and break the morale of the enemy. If the enemy is easily allowed to gain a foothold on the beachhead, then the situation will be reversed as the enemy's forces across the river increase.

The Jiangdong Army's rapid offensive was mainly launched from Chen Wu's point, in a relatively limited scale of grappling. The role of the brave can be maximized. Chen Zhi has been on the battlefield for a long time, so naturally he will not fail to understand this, and with the current lineup of the Qingzhou Army, he is also duty-bound.

I saw that the Qingzhou army formation was divided to both sides, and Chen Zhi, who was wearing silver armor and holding a spear, rushed out with more than 100 personal guards, and the target was Chen Wu, who was slashing and killing in the crowd!

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Chen Zhi roared loudly, and the spear turned into an oolong, piercing a military marquis who met him. The right arm was raised and the left arm was pressed down, and the barrel of the gun sank suddenly. He actually picked the enemy's body in the air. As a weapon, he threw it into the crowd in front of him.

A Jiang Dongjun, who had been injured and fell to the ground, tried to roll forward and take the opportunity to hug his thigh. Before he could roll to his position, Chen Zhi already sensed the danger, and he dodged flexibly, and the gun in his hand reversed. Accurately stabbed into the throat of the sneak attacker, robbing the opponent of the last trace of life.

Chen Zhi sneered, stepped on the other party's body, and Chang Feng moved forward again. Picking up two wooden shields and stabbing the knife hand behind the shield, like a tiger descending the mountain, Jiaolong Tengyuan, simply beat back the momentum of the Jiangdong Army and opened a passage in the crowd.

Follow the path of the blood that the Lord will kill. The soldiers rushed up in formations, tearing the gap in the enemy's formation wider and wider.

"The thief is rampant, give me my life!" Chen Wu couldn't see it well, so he roared angrily and swung his knife to kill. The Jiangdong army, which was killed by Chen Zhi, suddenly perked up. Knowing that he was invincible, he had to fight bloodily to the end just to delay time.

Chen Wu didn't look at the little soldiers in the struggle, and resisted Chen Dao wholeheartedly. Before the roar fell, the sword light had already arrived, and a snow drill was slashed like lightning, and as long as it was slashed, it would definitely be able to chop the enemy in half.

Chen Zhi turned around quickly, and while knocking on the side with the blade of the gun, his body flashed again, and he came to dodge. But Chen Wu's sword skills were a few points higher than he expected, he progressed and rubbed his body, the blade drew an arc violently, and actually broke away from the contact with the spear edge, dragging the electric light, and slashing diagonally towards Chen Zhi's waist ribs.

If this knife is slashed, Chen Zhi will have to be cut in two. Fortunately, Chen Zhi is not a weak person, although the spear in his hand cannot be used, his body is very agile, and his feet are linked, and he dodged Chen Wu's killing knife purely by step.

Chen Wu, who took the lead, was as tight as a knife, and the knife did not leave Chen Dao's neck and two ribs, exerting his fierce power to the extreme. But Chen Zhi did not fall behind, the gun walked lightly, his body was like a swimming fish, and he vividly interpreted agility and dexterity, and the two fought like this.

Chen Wu's spearhead was blocked, and the Jiangdong Army's offensive also stalled.

The Qingzhou army put out a classic spear phalanx, and the larger the area of engagement, the more conducive it is to exert its power. In a battle where the contact area is only a few dozen, or even a few people, the power of the spear array cannot be brought into play, and purely by virtue of the combat power of the militia, it is naturally not the opponent of Jiangdong's elite.

However, as the battle line grows longer, the power of the spear array is being revealed. Originally, with Chen Wu's assault, he could also tear a gap in the spear formation, and then expand the results of the battle, but once Chen Wu was blocked, the advance speed of the Jiangdong Army immediately slowed down.

The two armies entered a brief stalemate.

Of course, the balance can't be maintained for long.

Seeing this scene, the fierce fighting intent in Sun Ce's chest could no longer be suppressed, he threw his cloak behind him, lifted his halberd, pointed his blade at the opposite bank, and shouted: "Sons, kill the enemy with me!" ”

"I am willing to die for the Lord!" In an instant, thousands of people roared in unison, suppressing the earth-shattering shouts and killings, and the surging waves trembled.

Zhu Huan didn't advise this time, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, the soul of this army was this invincible Jiangdong overlord. They were accustomed to fighting with the lord who was in the martial arts, Sun Ce was on the front line, or he was in command of the Chinese army, and the momentum displayed by the Jiangdong Army in these two states was completely different.

With Sun Ce personally on the front line, the combat power of 30,000 Jiangdong Army can be used as 50,000 people, or more. If it was not Chen Wu but Sun Ce who was fighting in front, even if Chen Zhi appeared from the beginning, the situation would not be better than now, maybe it would be worse.

At the beginning, Sun Ce raised troops in Pengcheng and went south, Guangling broke the Rong, and crossed the river to attack Liu Xuan, all of which defeated the strong with the weak, what did he rely on? Not a stratagem, only courage.

Today, the Jiangdong Army is once again facing a situation where if it does not advance or die, if there is hope of leading everyone to break through and kill the heavens, it can only be found by following the lord with indomitable progress.

"Woo...... Woo woo...... "Sun Ce's movement in the battle is not trivial, and the Jiangdong Army's morale is certainly booming. The battle rose sharply, and the Qingzhou Chinese army on the other side was also in turmoil, and after a while, it was directly ignited with wolf smoke!

"Wolf smoke at this time? Could it be that there is still an ambush? Liu Bei's voice came from behind him, with strong doubts.

"Perhaps." Zhu Huan looked sideways at Liu Bei, his eyes were quite cold. He has always disliked Liu Bei, there is no reason, it is just an intuition, he always feels that the other party's city government is too deep and selfish.

Although Zhu Huan himself is not a pure and selfless person. But he and Liu Bei are two different things. At least he never counted allies or even lords. Liu Bei was under Gongsun Zhan back then. I always have reservations, and I have always been thinking about fishing in troubled waters and getting a piece of land for myself. Later, he was defeated and went to Yuzhou with Xu You. But he still doesn't change, thinking about the belongings of his allies in Xuzhou all day long.

After Xiapi was defeated by Wang Yu, this person voted for Yuan Shu again. The latter treated him well, not only gave him shelter, but also entrusted him with important tasks, but when it came to the critical moment, he resolutely turned against the water.

Those righteousness and everything are nonsense, Zhu Huan doesn't believe half a word, he only looks at the results.

Now Liu Bei has got a piece of land in Huainan. There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If he wins this battle, he will be close to the water, and he can raise troops to the north to participate in the division of the Central Plains; If the war is unfavorable, he has nothing to lose if he returns without success. The territory he occupied was adjacent to Jiangxia, separated by the continuous Dabie Mountains, which was a place that could be attacked and defended.

Even if the Qingzhou Army launched a southern expedition, it was the Jiangdong Army that occupied half of Yuzhou and Jiujiang that was under the greatest pressure, and Liu Bei could still get the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Besides, this time he went north, nominally Liu Bei made plans and acted as a pioneer, but what did he do? Failed to rebel twice, and the rumors didn't work, and he only brought a few hundred guards with him, so he couldn't work at all.

Zhu Huan is a straightforward temper, without the means of Piri Yangqiu and honey-bellied sword, when facing Liu Bei, his face is naturally not good-looking, and he is too lazy to answer the other party's questions.

Ambush, it is indeed possible. The Jiangdong Army had studied it before the war and believed that the biggest threat came from Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong.

Xiahou Yuanbu had already fought with the Qingzhou army in Rencheng, and suffered several defeats in a row, and the army was defeated. The current soldiers and horses are a mixture of the original remnants of the army and reinforcements, with a total of only more than 24,000 troops.

Zhang Liaobu won consecutive battles in the previous battles, without too many casualties, even if he wanted to return to Qingzhou to deal with Xiahou Yuan, he did not need the whole army to return, and he could divide his troops into two ways. chased Xiahou Yuan all the way, and cooperated with the local militia to block it in Jinan; The other way was to ambush on the south bank of the Yellow River, and after the battle began, he chose the opportunity to join the war group and raid the Jiangdong army, which was cut into two ends by the river.

Because of this, Zhu Huan and Liu Bei will stand still and be on strict guard.

In addition, the only reinforcements that the enemy could count on were the militia who came from Qinghe, Yangping, and even Wei County. These militiamen are far away and their combat effectiveness is poor, so they are not a problem at all, Zhu Huan felt that Liu Bei suddenly came over to bring up this topic, purely because he had nothing to say, and the set was almost here.

It's no wonder that Zhu Huan's vigilance is too high, but during this time, there are many Jiangdong generals who have been secretly tricked by Liu Bei, except for Han Dang and Huang Gai, most of the others have been tested by him.

The purpose is nothing more than to secretly win over and dig into the corners of the wall, no wonder Zhu Huan dislikes the other party.

ate a cold face, but Liu Bei didn't have much self-consciousness, and said to himself, with a worried face: "General Hugh Mu can't be careless, there are many wise people in the Qingzhou army, and they may not be able to deduce today's situation, if they set up a targeted strategy, then ......"

"Liu Yuanjun is too worried." Zhu Huan waved his hand impatiently, made a movement like a fly, and said coldly: "Right now, the elite of Qingzhou is exhausted, unless Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong ignore the safety of Qingzhou and the whole army is attacking, what danger can there be?" ”

"This ......" Liu Bei said slightly, and his eyes fluttered. At this moment, at the moment when his gaze shifted, an unprecedented fear suddenly hit his heart, and he cried out, "Ah! ”

Zhu Huan was taken aback by him, and looked at him with his eyes, and his face suddenly turned pale.

I saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the rough river!

That's dozens of warships with a sharp bow and a wide tail and an extremely deep draft!

These ships came without knowing it, but their goal was extremely clear, and they rushed down the torrent!

"Qingzhou Water Army!" Zhu Huan screamed.

Before the panic could spread, there was a low sound of horns in the opposite direction from the navy.

The sound of "Woo ......" was like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar, although the volume was weakened by the distance, but the momentum did not decrease at all, and it stretched in the sky a moment ago and did not know the distance, and in an instant it was within reach.

Gradually, the sound of the trumpet could be heard, clearer and louder.

Suddenly, a big flag rushed out between heaven and earth, a big flag with Chinese characters in black characters on a red background. It is like a sharp sword that spans the heavens and the earth, breaking through the sky!

Immediately after, the black tide gushed out, and countless battle flags were waved in the wind, hunting and hunting.

Next to the Chinese character flag are two flags, and under the light of the noon sun, even if they are more than ten miles apart, the handwriting on the flags is still clearly visible.

"General Yishi!"

"Zhang!"
