Chapter 488: The Fire Ship Wins
Jiang and Tuesday fought and left, gradually leading Yan Liang into the range of the bed crossbow.
The generals of the Yuan army naturally had people who understood, and several generals rushed forward to restrain Yan Liang's war horse, and saw the air whistling again and again, and the spears of the bed crossbow flew towards here.
Yuan Jun saw that this terrifying bed crossbow was no longer strong, and a group of people surrounded Yan Liang and turned around and left.
Jiang Qin secretly exclaimed pity, looking around, the battlefield was still stalemate, but the Yuan army passed like ants on the pontoon bridge, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Zhongshan army.
"Youruo, Yan Liang is worthy of being the first general in Hebei, winning this battle and defeating the Zhongshan Army can be regarded as a bad breath."
Yuan Shao watched the battle with a group of henchmen, and saw that the enemy's crossbowmen had been forced to retreat, and more and more soldiers and horses crossed the river, and even Wen Chou was wounded and commanded on the pontoon bridge.
"He Feng is just that stone bullet, the two armies are facing each other, where is he Yuan Gong's opponent." Simbi said disdainfully.
Xun Chen frowned when he heard this, he didn't dare to underestimate He Feng's Zhongshan Army at all now, and just wanted to speak, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but scream.
"Fire ......"
Dozens of small boats floated down the Zhangshui River and rushed towards the pontoon bridge downwind.
Before Yuan Shao and the others could react, they saw the sound of horns on the boats, but in a moment, all the boats were on fire.
Xun Zhan's face turned pale, and he suddenly pointed to a pontoon bridge farthest away.
"Yuan Gong quickly cross the river, once these dozen or so pontoon bridges are burned down, Yuan Gong is in danger!"
Yuan Shao also understood that if he was blocked on the west bank, the troops were cut into two sections by Zhangshui, and the front army was unpresiding, the overall situation would collapse!
"Get on the bridge!"
Yuan Shao showed a heroic posture at this moment, quickly whipped his horse, and led his henchmen and guards to run to the farthest pontoon bridge.
As long as he crosses Zhangshui, Yuan Jun will have the backbone, and he should fight, otherwise he is afraid that he will be defeated.
Yuan Jun on the pontoon bridge shouted loudly, watching dozens of burning boats crash towards the pontoon bridge like arrows from the string, and the Yuan army on the bridge scrambled to push first, and the formation was completely chaotic.
Seeing the fire, the rear team of the Zhongshan Army sounded the majestic war drums, Zhou Tai was covered in blood, and he did not heal his wounds, shouting and clapping his horse and rushing to the front.
"Yan Liang, fight with your grandfather Zhou for another three hundred rounds!"
Yan Liang still had the mind of a fighting general at this time, and hurriedly ordered the Yuan army to suspend the pursuit, line up along the river, shoot the horns of the formation with bows and crossbows, and resist the counterattack of the Zhongshan army while receiving the lord to cross the river.
The fireboat hit the first pontoon bridge, because except for one pontoon bridge on the Zhangshui River, the rest were built by Yuan Jun today, and there was nothing strong to be sturdy, so it was ignited by the fireboat in an instant and crashed into two.
Yuan Jun on the bridge screamed and fell into the river, the armor of the infantry at the end of the Han Dynasty was heavy, and even if they fell into the water, they could not float even if they were watery.
The Yuan army on the other pontoon bridges was even more frightened, Yan Liang and Wen Chou desperately tried to stabilize the soldiers and horses on the east bank, if the east bank was lost, all the Yuan troops had to be driven down to Zhangshui and fed fish and shrimp.
Guo Jia looked at the battlefield and sighed slightly, "The soldiers and horses of the Yuan clan are really not weak, no wonder they can defeat Gongsun Zhan, they have not collapsed in such a situation, and they want to do it all today, but I am afraid it will be difficult." ”
Gan Ning led more than a dozen small boats to follow behind the fire boat, and the Yuan army that fell into the river had no power to fight back, and those who could surface were cut down in the river by the soldiers on the boat with a knife and a shot.
The slowly flowing Zhangshui has become a red river under the background of blood and fire.
One, two, three. The fireboat was like a giant axe cutting down trees, easily burning the pontoon bridge, but Yuan Shao took his personal guards and crossed the Zhangshui from the last pontoon bridge.
Yuan Jun saw that the lord was out of danger, and his morale finally improved, Yan Liang had no intention of killing the enemy, and rushed forward with a knife, Wen Chou's arm wounds were not healed, and he also boosted morale in the rear team.
Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai waved their troops to cover up, Yuan Jun fought and retreated, and all the baggage was abandoned, Xun Zhan ordered the unused equipment to be ignited, and used fire to block the pursuing soldiers, and finally protected Yuan Shao to kill a bloody road.
In the battle of Zhangshui, more than 10,000 elite Yuan troops, only 2,000 escaped, and all the equipment and baggage were abandoned, which really made the three Jiangyang thieves who followed make a small fortune.
The three generals were all born in the green forest, and the brothers under his command were only hundreds, where had such a rich battlefield been cleaned, and Zhou Tai did not feel the pain of the wound, and commanded the soldiers to carry the spoils.
"Hahaha. Strategist, I'm willing to obey you! ”
When the three generals saw the military division coming, they all knelt on the ground unconsciously.
Guo Jia looked at the eastern sky and smiled, "Now it depends on how Pang Shiyuan's results are." ”
……
Yecheng's Liu Wei and Han Fu frequently appeared, nominally Han Fu is still Jizhou Mu, this time the Yuan army attacked, so that Yecheng began a big purge, with the support of today's young emperor, Han Fu no longer looked ahead, and Min Chun, Geng Wu together, uprooted the pro-Yuan faction of Jizhou officials.
In addition to Zhongshan County and Changshan County, which were He Feng's forces, Bohai County and Hejian County were Yuan Shao's forces, other prefectures and counties, such as Pingyuan County, Qinghe County, Guangping County, Wei County and other prefectures and counties, Han Fu sent official documents one by one, asking them to break off relations with Yuan Shao.
Jizhou Mu declared war on Bohai Taishou, there are many people who are not optimistic about Han Fu, many official documents are sinking into the sea, Han Fu is afraid that Liu Fu will blame him, he said that something happened, and sent Min Chun and Geng Wu to report the situation.
"Lord, the Hangeul Festival is really useless!"
Lu Yin walked in angrily, "Lord, you miscalculated, he doesn't have much influence in Jizhou, except for Yecheng, other places don't give him face." ”
"Isn't Yecheng good?" Liu Wei raised his eyes from the thick official documents on the desk, and his eyes were a little dark after being overloaded in the past few days.
Lu Yin waved his hand to let the guards out of the house, and Xiao Fan gently helped Liu Wei relax, "Lord, don't be too tired, if you lose weight, Sister Yu and they won't be able to spare me when you go back." ”
"It's almost over, Yecheng's money and food is really not a small amount, no wonder Geng Wu said that it can last for ten years, Yinyin, don't look at most of the state capitals now are silent, as long as we defeat Yuan Shao, these wall grasses will naturally know how to choose."
"If Pang Shiyuan can move immediately, Yin Yin will give him the two female disciples he trained by himself, but he has begged Yin Yin for a long time."
Liu Wei moved his eyes to the map again, "With Ma Yunluo, I'm afraid that this little ghost is already very satisfied." ”
……
Hejian Country, Dongzhou.
A neat team of soldiers and horses roared over, and Li Huang, the general of Dongzhou, stood on the wall, covering the light with his hands, and carefully looked at the flags under the city.
"My lord, they are the soldiers and horses of the Taishou of Beiping." The general said softly to Li Huang.
The soldiers and horses lined up in a neat queue on the city, and the first general went out of the battle, shouting with a horizontal sword, "I am the vanguard of Gongsun Taishou's tent, and I also ask Li Taishou to open the city gate, and we will pass through the city and never disturb the people." ”
