Chapter 700: Assault (Plus Change, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

However, Wei Jun did not have an easy time.

On the one hand, as the battle progressed, the armament advantage of the Shu Han army became more and more obvious, and it gradually showed an overwhelming advantage. To block the landing of the Shu Han army, they could only brave the dense rain of arrows and stone bullets, under the cover of shields, gather on the shore, and use the spears or long wooden poles in their hands to resist the pontoon bridge pushed by the Shu Han army. The shield can block the arrows, but it can't block the bombardment of the stone bullets, the roar of the thunderbolts, and the roar of the stone bullets breaking through the air, which has become their nightmare.

On the other hand, it's because of nervousness. Although Cao Yu, the king of Yan, led the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion behind them, they could support at any time, but after all, they did not come to support, and they were the ones who really fought bloodily. Although they successfully held the turbulent water, they could not attack the Shu Han army, which had the advantage of troops, and could only defend passively. Not only during the day, but even more so at night.

From the moment the war began, the Shu Han army on the west bank of the turbulent water never really rested. Day and night, the camp was busy. It's a little better during the day, after all, you can see any movement clearly, but at night it's troublesome, only to see the lights on the opposite side, people coming and going, but I don't know what they are busy with, whether they will suddenly attack. The Wei army could only continue to be vigilant after a day's fighting, in case the Shu Han army attacked at night.

After two days, although the casualties of the Wei army were not unacceptably large, their psychology was about to collapse. As night fell, they looked at the torches lit in the camp on the other side. I don't know when this ordeal will end.

……

Waiting, it's crazy. This was true of the soldiers who fought fiercely with the Shu Han army, as well as Cao Yu and Chen Tai, who were on standby in the rear.

If Wei Ba does not appear, the real battle will not begin. And they have been waiting for two days, they have been nervous for two days, and they are already a little exhausted. Ma Jian and Guan Feng's attacks became more and more fierce, and they were all very real, and they didn't show a little bit of bluffing. They don't know what the Shu Han army is thinking, do they really want to cross the turbulent water so strongly, don't they know. Even if you cross the turbulent water. Aren't they strong enough to face the counterattack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion?

Whether it was Cao Yu or Chen Tai, they didn't believe that Wei Ba and Ma Jian would be so stupid. Because of this, they felt that there was a conspiracy in it, but they couldn't guess it yet. What makes them even more nervous is. If you put yourself in their shoes, think about it. They couldn't think of any hope that the Shu Han army would win.

Five thousand riders are on standby. People do not remove their armor, horses do not unsaddle, two days and two nights. Always ready to go, which also makes them a little tired. However, these people are real elites, and this fatigue is not enough to break them.

After another two days, the situation still did not change, Ma Tan and Guan Feng were still attacking, the Wei army was blocking by the river, and under the strong blows of the Shu Han army, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

Cao Yu began to feel uneasy, he invited Chen Tai to the big tent, and asked straight to the point: "Uncle Xuan, in your opinion, where is Wei Ba?" ”

Chen Tai's face was also a little blue, he was really tired these days, because the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

Not only did Cao Yu rely on him, but the Son of Heaven also trusted him, otherwise he would not have been transferred from Cao Zhen's command to the Nanyang battlefield, and he would have undertaken such an important task with Cao Yu. And he also hopes to take this opportunity to make a name for himself. Under Cao Zhen, he had already shown his talent in using troops, but unfortunately because of the strength of both sides, the Wei army had not been able to break through Tongguan, and he could not be rewarded. This time he was transferred to the Nanyang battlefield, if he could make great achievements, the Son of Heaven would definitely reward him.

This is not only because he is talented, but also because of the struggle within the court. His father, Chen Qun and Sima Yi, are both representatives of the family, but they represent different families. Chen Qun represents the Ruying family that is deeply rooted in the Cao Wei court but has been declining, while Sima Yi represents the slightly less powerful but increasingly powerful Hanoi and Hebei families. There are common interests between them, as well as differences. When the Son of Heaven could not completely suppress the rise of the Shili family, he could only engage in the balance of power and art, hoping to re-establish the Ruying family to balance the Hanoi and Hebei families.

For the Chen family, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

For this reason, the importance of this battle to Chen Tai is no less than that of Cao Yu, and Chen Tai is also under pressure that is more important than Cao Yu.

"No matter where he is, it's just in this area." Chen Tai pinched his somewhat sore eyebrows, and said a little tiredly: "Within fifty miles, we have all investigated, and we have found no trace of Wei Ba. In my opinion, he was either hiding deep in the mountains, or he was still west of the turbulent water. It is said that he only has 3,000 personal guard battalions, and it is too easy to hide in the barracks of 30,000 troops and not let us find out. ”

Cao Yu pondered for a moment: "Will he go to Wancheng?" ”

"Go to Wancheng?" Chen Tai couldn't help laughing, then put away his smile again, and shook his head with a serious face: "Impossible, don't say that he only has three or five thousand people, even if all the Shu Han troops here go to Wancheng, how can they take Wancheng?" ”

Cao Yu also smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that his idea was too stupid. Wei Ba's troops were too small, and it was useless for him to go to Wancheng. Wancheng is now heavily guarded, and will not leave him any chance to sneak attack. And once he penetrates deep into the hinterland of Nanyang, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry with his newly established cavalry and foot soldiers alone.

As long as Wei Ba is not crazy, he will definitely not go to Wancheng, then he must still be nearby. As Chen Tai said, he was either west of the turbulent water, pretending to be mysterious and making them nervous, or he hid in the mountains to the north and waited to move. Whatever it was, there seemed to be little chance of victory, which made his concealment even more almost a helpless escape.

Cao Yu scratched his head, also a little helpless. When will this torturous day come to an end?

……

"Today is the fourth day." Wei Ba was in good spirits, and said to Wei Wu and the others with full of energy: "I believe that both Cao Yu and ordinary Wei soldiers are already a little tired. Now, it's our chance to strike. ”

"Okay." Wei Wu was the first to shout, "I've been waiting for the attack for a long time, and if I wait any longer, even I'm going crazy." ”

Wei Ba glanced at him, and it was rare that he didn't blame him. The war is imminent, and facing an opponent like the Tiger and Par Rider requires Wei Wu's fearless to the point of being an idiot.

"From now on, everyone is ready to attack." Wei Ba tapped the map, knocking on the map and crackling. "We are twenty miles from the Wei position. The road has been explored, and the moonlight is just right, so you can march in a hurry. In about half an hour, we will be able to reach our position and launch an attack. However, the scouts of the Wei army are not far from us, and they will soon find us and report to Cao Yu, so the time left for us to attack is very limited, not more than half an hour at most, or even only a moment. We must crush the Wei army on the east bank of the turbulent water in this short period of time, and we must also establish a defensive position. Time is very tight, everyone must be fast. Whether or not this assault can succeed is directly related to the outcome of the decisive battle between us and the tiger and leopard cavalry, and we must not be careless. ”

"Whoa!" The crowd responded.

"Alright, let's go."

……

Two hours later, Wei Ba led 5,000 cavalry to rush out of Shijian Mountain, without torches, and hurried towards the Wei army camp twenty miles away by the cold moonlight. Wei Wu led a thousand Wei family soldiers to the forefront. They were heavily armed, but they did not carry a grain of food, and as soon as they set out, they went at full speed, shooting a sharp arrow into the darkness.

Wei Ba led two thousand guards to follow. Although these barbarian guards are also elite, they are still slightly inferior to the Wei family warriors who have received strict training since childhood, and they are basically southerners, and they are not very adapted to the cold climate here.

Tang Qianyu led two thousand knights to the southeast in a hurry. He sent a number of cavalry to patrol the flanks, and at the same time sent men to hunt down the Wei scouts. Although it is impossible to kill them all, killing one more may delay the time for Cao Yu to receive the news a little, and what they lack most now is time, even if it is a quarter of an hour, it may affect the battle situation.

……

On both sides of the turbulent water, the lights are bright.

The two armies are fighting fiercely.

Guan Feng, who had been attacking for four days, finally started the night battle. The Shu Han army lit countless torches, illuminating both sides of the turbulent water, and the continuous shooting of thunderbolts and crossbow carts made the Wei army on the east coast miserable. Under the cover of a rain of arrows and stone bullets, the soldiers of the baggage battalion shouted neat trumpets and pushed one pontoon bridge after another into the turbulent water.

This time, whether it was a thunderbolt, a ballista, or a pontoon bridge, the number of them increased significantly, and on the battlefield as wide as 500 paces, twenty pontoon bridges were pushed into the water at the same time, which put the insufficient Wei army under great pressure, and they had to all go into battle and block it with all their might.

Of course, launching an attack of this scale is also Guan Feng's limit, otherwise, she would not mind pushing another twenty pontoon bridges into the water, so that the Wei army would be unable to deal with it.

The two sides attacked each other across the turbulent water, and the shouts of killing broke the silence of the night, and even the turbulent water was frightened and flowed in a loud stream. One by one, the wounded soldiers fell into the water, causing bursts of splashing, and the screams were heard one after another.

Just when the Wei army was fully coping with Guan Feng's attack, the scouts came to report that there was an enemy in the north who was rapidly approaching, about a thousand or so.

The Wei generals were not surprised. Although all the soldiers under his command have gone into battle, there are still hundreds of guards around him, and there is a camp to rely on, so it is not a problem to hold on for half an hour, and with this half an hour, Cao Yu can lead the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion to arrive, defeat the incoming enemy in one fell swoop, and end the battle cleanly.

Therefore, when he heard the news, he not only did not feel a little nervous, but was relieved and relieved.

The days of this torment have finally come to an end
