Chapter 615: Landing on the Shore
Missed and directly killed Xing Daorong, which surprised Zhao Yun.
However, the ending was good, and after learning the news of the death of the main general, the soldier's will to fight was greatly reduced.
Originally, the combat strength was not as good as the enemy army of the Dragon Legion, and the morale was greatly backward, and it was not an opponent, and within an hour, the Dragon Legion had taken down this camp.
After the camp was captured, after a short rest, Zhao Yun left 5,000 men and horses to guard, and then took the remaining soldiers and horses to kill Han Xin's camp.
Because the fleeing enemy cannot be completely pursued and killed, and will definitely flee back to the main camp, now he can only race against time, taking advantage of the enemy's incomplete preparation, rushing over and killing him by surprise.
Moreover, after Zhao Yun killed Xing Daorong, he had already sent someone back to the camp to deliver the message, which was negotiated with Li Yang and Zhang Liang when he came, and after Li Yang received Zhao Yun's information, he gave an order, and the army that had already been prepared rushed to the opposite shore by boat.
However, Han Xin is worthy of being the commander who stands at the top of Chinese history, and even if he is so caught off guard, he reacts quickly.
Under his command, Zhao Junrui's army organized the defense in an orderly manner, needless to say, the main defense on the river was the main defense place, and there was originally a defensive arrangement, and Han Xin sent Meng Tian out on the land route.
Meng Tian is one of the top generals in the late Qin Dynasty, and the commanders of the armed forces are naturally very strong, but compared with Zhao Yun, they are naturally far behind.
However, Meng Tian did not come alone, he led hundreds of thousands of blocking troops and tens of thousands of golden fire cavalry.
The Golden Fire Cavalry, there was a big battle with Yan Yun Iron Cavalry, although it was not as good as it, but the combat power was indeed not much different, and Zhao Yun was also deeply impressed by this matter, so when he saw the group of golden and black armored cavalry, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning.
Because of the cross-river raid, Zhao Yun didn't bring much Yanyun iron cavalry.
Zhao Yun knew in his heart that next, he was afraid that he would have to go through a hard battle.
……………………
In the middle of the Yangtze River, Li Yang, who was standing on the ink dragon, looked at the endless firelight in the distance with a solemn face, these were rockets fired from the opposite bank.
"A soldier immortal is a soldier immortal, and the reaction is really fast!" Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Han Xin, this person can be literate and martial, perseverance is very strong, and the use of soldiers is even more surprising, when Han..., if Liu Bang didn't have this person to help, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible!" Zhang Liang can be said to be the person who knows Han Xin best on the scene, and he also made a pertinent evaluation.
Li Yang glanced at Zhang Liang, couldn't help patting him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The words of the ovary are bad, Han Xin contributed a lot at the beginning, but without you and Xiao He, and many people who are desperate to follow him, he still can't do anything." ”
The 'Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty' is not just talking, just like Liu Bang himself said at the beginning, in the midst of strategizing, he won a decisive victory over Zhang Liang thousands of miles away; Xiao He, who guarded the country, pacified the people, and constantly supplied military rations; led millions of people, won the battle, and captured Han Xin, if there were no three people, how could he win the world.
Even, Li Yang felt that Zhang Liang was stronger than the latter two.
Not only because Liu Bang ranked him in the forefront, but also because he was the only one who retired and got a good death.
After Li Yang finished speaking, he turned his head back to the battlefield, and his face also returned to coldness, "Pass the order, this battle is irreversible, and at any cost, I will also land on the beach." ”
"Woo woo~" With Li Yang's order, the heavy horn sound was transmitted on the battlefield, and it was Li Yang's order that was conveyed.
Because of the experience of the previous times, they also made certain preparations this time.
Except for the shield soldiers who rushed to the front with a large shield to block the arrows, each other charging boat was surrounded by a row of wet planks that had been soaked for a long time, and there were soldiers on the boat holding neatly wet planks to resist the flames.
The damp plank was Zhang Liang's idea, which could effectively stop the opponent's rockets, and it was not only lower in cost than the iron shield, but also relatively small in weight.
Of course, although this kind of damp wooden shield is light, the defense is naturally much smaller, not to mention the huge defensive crossbows and catapults that the enemy swings out, and if the enemy loses too much, the wooden shield will also be overwhelmed and cracked.
However, this strategy also greatly reduces the casualties of your own soldiers.
Under Li Yang's order and the fearless charge of the generals, the vanguard finally broke through to the shore.
What follows is the crux of the campaign.
The landing on the beach is similar to the siege of the city, and it is impossible to do all the soldiers rushing up, and the landing of Xiaobo will be collectively targeted by the enemy, and sniper in waves, which cannot be avoided, so naturally there will be a large number of casualties.
Fortunately, Li Yang's side also had a large number of ink dragons to suppress from a distance, causing the enemy to dare not approach the shore easily.
As a large number of shield soldiers landed on the shore and lined up, they gradually began to stand in formation.
Just when Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, a bunch of black-gold-armored cavalry suddenly rushed out of the enemy's formation, and rushed straight towards the shield soldiers.
The number of this cavalry is not very large, only about 2,000 people, but the speed is extremely fast, and it does not give Mo Long time to react at all, and directly rushes into the shield camp.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, the shield armor was scattered, and the shield array was even rushed out of a big gap.
Seeing this scene, Li Yang couldn't help but slap the handrail in front of him.
He naturally recognized this cavalry, which was the one led by Zhao Junrui who prevented him from returning to aid Tianyun.
He also knew that the combat effectiveness of this army was no less than that of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and if it weren't for the superiority of armor and weapons, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry would not have been able to easily gain the upper hand.
However, this was not the end of the story, after the sudden appearance of the cavalry broke through the defensive line, the enemy army began to charge the Li Yang army that landed on the shore.
"General Yan, immediately order all the Molong warships to attack the shore in a row in stages to stop the enemy's charge."
When Zhang Liang saw this, he immediately turned his head and instructed Yan Yi.
"No!" Yan Yi didn't dare to slack off, and after getting Zhang Liang's instructions, he went to pass the order in person.
The phased attack was what Zhang Liang had told him before, starting from the middle layer of the ink dragon, shooting collectively to the shore, and then designing the city crossbow on the upper layer to the shore, and then going up to the next layer, and when the wave is completed, the middle layer has almost been loaded and can be re-fired.
This method of action is similar to the three-stage shooting method, but it was Zhang Liang who came up with it himself.
"Give the order to the shore, the shield soldiers surround the cavalry, and cut off the legs of the horses." After that, Zhang Liang immediately commanded.
The enemy's armor was obviously used to defend against bows and arrows, and at the same time, this cavalry had already rushed into their own camp, so naturally they could not attack with the crossbow of the defender.
Regarding Zhang Liang's decision, Li Yang did not speak, but stared at the shore tightly.
He knew that Han Xin was powerful, so he had also made certain preparations, and he understood that no matter how perfect the strategy was, it would be impossible to avoid casualties, but it was already so, and he had no way to retreat, so he could only fight hard.
"Order all assault ships to move at full speed, and make the dragon slowly move closer to the shore." Li Yang commanded in a cold voice.
"No!" The herald answered, turned his head and went to deliver the order.
In this beach, not only did a large number of small boats carry soldiers, but also a large number of soldiers were carried on the ink dragon.
Moreover, compared to the soldiers on the small boat, the soldiers on the magic dragon are of a higher rank, and even those special classes are on the ink dragon.
Zhang Liang turned his head and glanced at Li Yang, and guessed Li Yang's plan in his heart, he was going to rely on these soldiers to drag the enemy, and then let the high-ranking soldiers and special troops on the ink dragon land on the shore.
However, after all, the ink dragon has a deep draft, and if the people on the ship want to go ashore, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time, and the soldiers who drag the enemy will probably have a great increase in casualties.
"Alas~" Zhang Liang sighed silently, how could he avoid casualties in the war.
