Chapter 361: Crossing the River, Decisive Battle!

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the general's mansion in Puyang City, Lu Meng was handling government affairs as always, but he heard a hurried voice coming: "General Qiyu, the Yuan army has moved, and the Yuan army is gathering to cross the river in Liyang and Yin'an." ”

"Bang!"

Lu Meng instinctively slapped the letter in his hand on the table, his eyes were like torches, with a cold face, and he looked at the incoming people: "How many people can be seen in Yuan Jun?" ”

"Back to the general, dense, endless!" The scout replied.

"Click!"

Lu Meng's iron fist clenched, and the battle was about to start.

"Can you inform the trolls?"

"General Hui, after detecting the movement of the Yuan army, he lit the beacon fire along the coast as soon as possible, thinking that the navy should soon receive the message and rush there." The scout immediately replied.

"I see!" Lu Meng nodded and waved his hand to retreat.

The adjutant general frowned and said, "General, what should I do now?" ”

"Boom!"

Lu Meng got up and drew the sword at his waist, his eyes were like torches, and he said coldly: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, the enemy dares to invade my territory, so the only way to defend our territory is to use their blood." ”

"Order, reorganize the army, go to war!"

"In this battle, I want Yuan Jun to fight on the banks of the bloody river." Lu Meng's voice was cold, and he knew that he couldn't let Yuan Jun cross the river easily, otherwise the pressure would come to their side in an instant.

Chu Feng's reinforcements were only seventy thousand, and he had to reduce Chu Feng's pressure as much as possible.

"No!" All the generals should come down in unison.

Almost instantly, the deep and suppressed sound of bull's horns spread throughout the barracks, which was a kind of precursor to the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building, and everyone couldn't help but look at the city lord's mansion.

The enemy is coming!

They know it in their hearts.

But they can't retreat, they have their relatives behind them, and they are not qualified to retreat.

"Assemble, assemble!"

One after another, urgent military orders were shouted out from the mouth of the commander, they were reorganizing the troops and horses as quickly as possible, and the logistics armor also came to the armory in an instant, and they had to assist all the armorers in transporting the baggage.

In an instant, the army of thousands began to assemble rapidly, sword and shield soldiers, bow and crossbow battalions, pikemen, only to see for a while, bows and crossbows were arranged, steel spears were lined up, and all the armor soldiers were like torches, not afraid of death.

Barracks, point to the general's station.

Lu Meng was dressed in armor and a cloak, and he came with a dragon and a tiger, with his beard and resolute face, which made people feel extremely stable.

Press the sword and angrily reprimanded: "Everyone, the enemy is coming, the alien iron cavalry is invading the south, they want to take our land, wives and children, food, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"The lord said that the brave wins when the narrow road meets, and the enemy army is crossing the river, today, let us use the surging Yellow River water, wash the bodies of these enemies with blood, and defend our homeland."

Lu Meng's eyes were outstanding, and he reprimanded angrily: "In this battle, the veterans are out of the ranks,"

In an instant, the veterans stepped forward together, the veterans' eyes were thick, and the recruits were indeed a little more nervous.

"In this battle, I will personally lead you into battle to kill the enemy, as for the recruits, all stay in Puyang, just in case, you must not lose the city, lose Puyang, and swear to live and die with Puyang."

Lu Meng looked at the group of familiar soldiers and scolded angrily.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Fight, fight, fight!"

There was no fear in the eyes of the veterans!

In other words, even if they are soldiers of the people, even if they are bitter, even if they are in pain, they have to endure it, because they are soldiers, they can't cry out for pain, they will defend their identity with blood.

Chu Feng also would not treat their wives and children and parents badly.

"Give you a cup of tea, everyone will leave their last words, prepare for a death battle, and this general will advance and retreat with you." Lu Meng looked around and said in a heavy voice.

At this point, everyone was indifferent.

War is to the death, and no one is not afraid!

But what they defend is their wives and children, so that they can be bullied, they finally have the life they have today, they must defend, even if they die.

It's just that after Lu Meng finished speaking, everyone stood in place, their eyes were like swords, extremely sharp, and no one left a last word, or from the moment they appeared on the frontier, they had already left.

If it weren't for Chu Feng, they would have starved to death long ago.

And they were content!

"General, the soldiers are all ready, ready to go!" The generals of all departments spoke in unison, arriving at the river bank a little earlier, and retreating Yuan's army one day earlier.

"Let's go!" Lu Meng drew his sword and roared in the air.

In an instant, thousands of veterans began to run out of the city in an orderly procession, all of them lightly armed.

Lu Meng looked at the deputy general and said: "Defend Puyang, the enemy army is treacherous and changeable, and you must inform you as soon as there is a movement." ”

"General rest assured, people are in the city, people are dead in the city!" The lieutenant clenched his fists and replied solemnly.

"Anthracene!" Lu Meng patted the deputy general on the shoulder, immediately turned over his horse, and personally led the veteran to set off.

10,000 veterans, silent, only the sound of hurried footsteps can tell everyone that they are living to die, they are anxious, they are not afraid of life and death.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Puyang, dozens of miles away from Liyang.

It is farther away from Yin'an, nearly 100 miles.

However, in ancient times, the speed of river crossing was very slow, and in the absence of large ships, it often took several days and nights to get these ships ashore only by warships.

After all, the number of troops transported in one way is too small.

And a round trip takes a long time, and it can't be transported much at the end of the day.

Lu Meng was in a solemn mood, he took his soldiers and horses on a rapid march, and not long after the trip, he also asked the deputy general to take 4,000 people to part ways in Yin'an, and Yin'an also had Yuan's army to cross the river, but the scale was not as good as Liyang.

Lu Meng knew that the Yuan army was probably starting to fight in the early morning, and when he arrived, the Yuan army might have been able to line up a lot, and he only hoped that the navy could cooperate with them in time to drive the Yuan army back.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the other side, on the south bank of the Liyang River.

Yuan Shao looked far away, watching the boats on the river keep coming and going, and seeing more and more soldiers and horses on the other side, he couldn't help but feel much better, and at present, there are at least more than 5,000 people on the other side.

With these people in formation, even if the Chu army kills them, they are not afraid

"Duke Yuan, if you want me to say, directly arrange for the warriors under my command to cross the river, no more, a thousand horsemen are enough, and the Chu army can kill no piece of armor!" He clenched his fists and said confidently.

"Hehe, don't worry, Leader Badun, you still need to rely on your iron cavalry in the plains later." Yuan Shaolang said with a smile, he was in a good mood, he seemed to have seen the scene of his soldiers besieging Puyang.

"It's just a Chu army, it's not enough to worry about!" Maybe it's because he cracked the Chu Jun monster, and this time, he swelled up very much, and he didn't take Chu Jun in his eyes at all.

On the side, Xu You frowned,

This is really arrogant!

Could it be that he really thought that Chu Jun's arrogance was just relying on the monster with that strange noise? If it was just like that, how could Cao Cao be defeated?

But after all, Bun Dun came to help, he didn't say much, he could only hope that everything would go well, no matter what, Yuan Shao was his first, and Yuan Shao could dominate the world the best.

"Yuan Gong, the sun is about to set, the Chu army has not yet come, I guess the Chu army is afraid and does not dare to come." The leader beside him joked with a smile.

Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule from everyone.

Yuan Shao also thought that the Chu army did not dare to come, but he was just about to speak, but he heard the scouts under his command rushing and shouting: "Report~, the lord of Qiqi, the Chu army, the Chu army is here, and there are still a few miles away." ”

Yuan Shao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said that he was not afraid of the Chu army, but when he heard these two words, he was still a little panicked, and immediately said nervously: "Who is in charge of the army, and how many people are here?" ”

"Look at the flag, it should be Lu Meng personally commanding the army, and there are about six or seven thousand people." The scout replied.

"Heh, hehehehe!"

"Six or seven thousand? What are these people capable of? Could it be that Lu Meng's family thinks that this mere six or seven thousand people can force our army back? Next to him, Han Meng sneered, with a bit of mockery.

"What General Han said is very true, there are as many as five or six thousand soldiers and horses on the south bank of our army, why do these people from the Chu army dare to come over?" He sneered, not taking these thousands of people to heart at all.

Yuan Shao was afraid of being beaten, so he immediately said solemnly: "Pass the order, prepare to defend against the enemy, and let the speed of crossing the river in the back be accelerated, and we must ensure that the south bank of the river cannot be lost." ”

Although Yuan Shao also arranged for people to cross the river in another place, the army had to rely on Liyang to fight for the river anyway, and the most that side was guaranteed to be foolproof, so this south bank was extremely important.

As long as he can withstand Lu Meng's attack this time, he will not be afraid of the future.

"No!" Han Meng nodded, but in his heart, he looked down on Lu Meng's thousands of soldiers and horses, after all, there were no reinforcements behind Lu Meng, but Yuan Shao still had 100,000 troops behind him.

Unless they are pigs, they will win even if they are hard consumption.

Immediately, the armor soldiers on the south bank quickly assembled and prepared the military formation.

And these armor soldiers were all nervous, and the myth of the invincibility of the Chu army had virtually reduced their combat strength, even if their generals belittled them in various ways, it still didn't help.

Moreover, most of these armor soldiers are new soldiers, or not elites, and the elites were almost all wiped out in the previous war, and most of these were later recruited or originally recruited from various places.

As time passed, LΓΌ Meng's soldiers and horses slowly appeared.

Lu Zi is in the wind, and the hunting sounds.

There were not many soldiers and horses, only a few thousand, but these thousands of people did not say a word at the moment, their eyes were like torches, like wild wolves, staring closely at the Yuan army on the south bank.

At the front, Lu Meng looked at the other side with his eyes.

The sword in his hand was slowly drawn and raised,

The six thousand armor soldiers stopped when they heard the sound, and looked at Yuan Jun on the opposite side motionlessly.

At this moment, the setting sun reflects the figures of all the warriors, stretching them out.

There was no superfluous shouting, some were just anger, Lu Meng turned to look at thousands of soldiers and horses, his expression was resolute, and he said word by word: "The whole army obeys the order, and those who violate my territory will be punished!" ”

"Kill!"

As the words fell, the six thousand Chu troops erupted with monstrous killing intent at this moment, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill!! Kill!! ”

Everyone's eyes are like bloodshot, and even so, the military formation is still maintained, pushing the front closer, like a whole, but this whole is more like a spear, extremely sharp.

On the high platform, Yuan Shao looked at the battle intent that broke out on the opposite side, and his heart suddenly twitched, the place where the Chu army is strong may be here, everyone is like a fool, working hard for Chu Feng.

With such bravery, why didn't he have it?

When he thinks of this, he is angry, and he hates!

Han Meng frowned, he was not like Yan Liangwen and Zhang He, who had fought the Chu army head-on, and this was the first time he had a large-scale head-to-head confrontation with the Chu army.

Seeing the state of the soldiers and horses under Lu Meng's command, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the fighting spirit made him worry in his heart.

However, at the moment, he is the number one general under Yuan Shao, so naturally he can't show fear, if he hasn't fought this time, he will probably be cold, and immediately drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army resists the enemy!" ”

In an instant, spears came out one after another.

But looking at the majestic momentum on the other side, their momentum is a little weaker.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies directly engaged in close combat.

Countless spears and spears began to stab each other, at this time it was courage to fight, the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and if they lost in momentum, they had already lost three points.

And most of the Yuan army are recruits or county soldiers, most of the soldiers are trying to eat for a while, seeing the Chu army so crazy, they are already timid, and for a while, they are faintly invincible.

After fighting for a while, the Chu army became more and more courageous, and Yuan Shaojun became more and more afraid the more he fought, they couldn't figure it out, just such a little military salary, what kind of life did those people play, who would play with you in such a war!

And on the ground, after a while, there were already many people lying down.

This frightened Han Meng, who was commanding behind, the strength of the Chu army was beyond his cognition, these people were like dying, and they went up with all their might, especially those fools who were pierced through a hole,

Not only did they not fall,

Instead, he held the spear and spear, and even stabbed several people to death, this style of play has high requirements for morale, and Yuan Jun was demoralized by this style of play.

"Block, slash those who retreat!"

"Our army still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Chu army will be defeated!" Han Meng kept wielding his sword, trying to revive the morale of the army, but he pinned his hopes on the soldiers and horses arranged in the middle.

These soldiers and horses in the middle, all of them are elites, all of them are veterans, and they were dispatched by Yuan Shao in order to gain a firm foothold.

Of course, there is only one excuse for now.

can only attribute the reason why the Chu army is so brutal to the fact that the front are all recruits, otherwise it won't.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Jun had been strangled several rows, hundreds of dead and wounded, the smell of blood rose to the sky, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, but the corresponding recruits were almost dead and wounded.

It's already going to be the turn of the elite.

Han Meng's palms were sweaty, and he was a little nervous!

However, he firmly believes that no matter what, these elites can block the pace of the Chu army's advance, and they will definitely be able to.

On the high platform, Yuan Shao looked at the military formation that had been chiseled through several layers, his face was cold, and he shook his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Come on, tell me Han Meng, if he can't even stop thousands of people, he won't have to see me!" ”

"No!" The guards immediately retreated.

The generals around them all kept silent, for fear of touching their heads.

But this time, they saw the arrogance of the Chu army again, and they were not afraid of death at all, no one knew what drove these people to treat death so like home!

In the face of this army that is not afraid of death,

No one is not afraid, no one is not afraid!

Even those veterans were trembling at the moment, they didn't understand why Han Meng's stupid guy thought they could, if they could, the other elites would not have been slaughtered by Chu Feng in the first place.

They were lucky to be able to go back alive.

But for now, they can only rush forward!
