Mingjin Gudu (now Binzhou Xiaoying area), since the Spring and Autumn Period, is one of the important ferries of Linzi to the plain county north of the Yellow River, there was originally a small town, the same name as Gudu, the population reached more than 1,000 when the population was the largest, and then destroyed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now the ancient town of Mingjin is only left with the remnants of the eaves
The broken wall has long been devoid of residents, only a military village stands alone next to the wharf, and hundreds of empty boats are scattered and moored along the wharf, and on the wharf, a team of patrol posts is listlessly patrolling back and forth.
"Wang Tunchang, look!" "It's not just Mingjin Town that is barren, in fact, there are no people within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, and it is undoubtedly a chore to guard the place where there is no village and no store in front of the village, and the soldiers are full of grievances, and it is inevitable that they will not have any spirit, and then they will be lazy in the team
After all, there is no shortage of sharp-eyed people, no, at about three o'clock, just as the patrolmen on duty were about to take over the shift, a soldier suddenly pointed to the wide river and shouted nervously.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" Wang Tun Chang looked at the prestige river, and saw a thousand sails racing to cross, under the abrupt heart, how dare there be the slightest delay, and then shouted wildly, in an instant, the barracks next to the dock was a lot of panic, more than 3,000 soldiers under the command of Changshui Captain Li Cao, hurriedly defestation
I rushed to the docks.
"Array, prepare for battle!" Li Cao, a giant savage from Shanyang County, Li Dian's cousin, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he followed the patriarch Li Gan to get into trouble, followed Cao Cao to fight in the east and west, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, but because of his martial arts and courage were not as good as Li Dian, the official rank has never been able to cross the rank of captain, but in terms of battle experience, it is not much worse than Li Dian, he is resolute and daring to fight, but he is a strong general under Xiahou Dun's account, even if he is facing the Youzhou army that crossed the river in a big way, Li Cao has never had the slightest panic, and led his troops to the dock quickly, shouting and constantly commanding his soldiers to deploy along the wharf, intending to give the Youzhou army according to the danger
A head-on blow.
"The little thief also dares to calculate, phew, pass the order: all the warships in the headquarters of the Chinese army suppressed the speed, and the left and right battalions quickly pulled away to the two wings, and rushed to the shore two hundred steps away on both sides of the dock!"
Yang handed down two orders in a row, and even when he heard the sound of the horn on the flagship, a large number of boats of the Youzhou army were quickly divided into three parts, among which more than 130 ships of the Chinese army slowed down and slowed down, while more than 50 boats on each wing rushed towards the shore at a rapid pace.
"Bastard, come here, pass the order, the second battalion of A and B will immediately rush to the two wings to block the thief army, and the rest of the troops will not move!" Seeing that the Youzhou army suddenly changed formation, Li Cao was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but be a little anxious- Li Cao's earlier choice of formation can not be said to be wrong, there is no side, this section of the Yellow River is already close to the sea, not to mention the extremely wide river surface, there are many shoals on the shore, small boats can dock everywhere, but the boat can not reach the shore directly, in order to ensure the safety of loading and unloading, the wharf is the only choice, moreover, the terrain of the wharf deep into the river is still open, enough for the two armies to fight and kill, Li Cao naturally decided that the Youzhou army will be straight
rushed to the wharf, but now the Youzhou army ignored the possibility of the boat running aground, and went directly to both sides of the wharf, how dare Li Cao sit idly by, but the main force of the Youzhou army is still moving slowly on the river, and he dare not ignore it, and in desperation, he can only choose to divide the troops to resist the enemy.
"The order went down, and Cheng Biao and Gao He each led fifty ships to quickly pull out of the two wings, and land on the beach at 300 paces on both sides of the wharf!" Li Cao had just made adjustments, and before the two soldiers sent out arrived at the ground, he saw Zhang He smile contemptuously, and once again gave the order to divide the troops, and soon, with the violent sound of the horn, two more groups of boats of the Youzhou Army began to maneuver upstream and downstream, and this
At that time, there were only more than 30 boats left in the Central Military Division, and the total number of troops was only about 600.
"Battalion E is pressing the formation here, Battalion C rushes downstream, Battalion D goes straight upstream for reinforcements, go quickly!" In the face of Zhang He's re-division of troops and the Chinese army where he was located, the ships of the Chinese army were lowered by half sails, Li Cao's head couldn't help but hurt, no side, continuous battles, the lack of each battalion under his command is very serious, the five battalions should have a thousand soldiers and horses each, but now the five battalions add up to only more than 3,100 only, if the troops are divided repeatedly, the force guarding the dock will be tight, the problem is that if he does not divide the troops, it will be difficult to block the strong breakthrough of the Youzhou army, once the river defense is lost, even if there is a dock in hand, there is no use, helpless, Li Ke also
I could only pinch my nose and give the general order to divide the troops again. Cao Jun is known as the strongest army in the world, and its combat effectiveness is really strong, even if it is less than the Youzhou army that crosses the strong crossing in terms of troops, and the advantage of reliable location is that it is difficult for several soldiers and horses to do much to oppress the Youzhou army that wade through the water and rush to the shore, and it is difficult to do much for a long time of about a stick of incense, four
None of the soldiers and horses on the road could get ashore, and the sacrifice was even more astonishing, a large number of floating corpses went down the river, and the river water by the river was dyed scarlet and dazzling.
"The whole army obeys the order, full sails, and rushes straight to the dock, there is no advance or retreat!" The sacrifice is not disastrous, but Zhang He was not moved at all, his eyes swept the battlefield of the lower and lower reaches, and saw that the soldiers and horses divided by Cao Jun had been completely entangled by his own departments, he did not plan to wait longer, and under a broken drink, the horn on the flagship immediately sounded violently, and then saw that the thirty-two boats started at the same time, and the white sails were raised high, and the soldiers on each boat also rowed desperately with wooden pulp, and the boats that were originally just slowly leaning towards the shore began to accelerate, splitting the wind and waves like sharp arrows, and went straight to the dock at high speed
Rushed over.
"Good come, hurry, the ballista aims, let's go!" Seeing that Zhang He only led so many boats to the dock, Li Ke was not only not surprised, but laughed cruelly, no side, he still has more than 800 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are six ballistas to help in the battle, whether it is troops or armaments, they are much stronger than Zhang He's troops, how can he be afraid
Zhang He's menacing.
"Bang, bang, bang......" With Li Cao's order, Cao Jun's six crossbow cars began to roar almost simultaneously, and six huge crossbow arrows roared through the space, rapidly shooting towards the Youzhou Army's boats......
