Chapter 415: Worry
"Landing ashore and fighting back!"
The general looked hideous, he was already lifeless when he went back, and now there is only one way, stand firm, or rush forward, and destroy this group of thieves, he will be able to make meritorious contributions.
However, there are hundreds of people, and the difficulty is still relatively high!
There were not many archers on the ships, and the effect of counterattacks was limited.
As for the other infantrymen, when they stepped into the mud, almost instantly, countless screams rang out, and they all wailed in pain, and at the same time exclaimed: "Yes, there are traps!" ”
"General, there is a trap!"
Almost half of the dozen or so soldiers who went down screamed miserably, constantly trying to pull out the soles of their feet and retreat. What's more, he directly took out the bamboo tip inserted in the mud, which was even stained with blood.
"Those who dare to retreat, die!"
The general drew his sword and rebuked.
Although the tip of the bamboo is terrible, but at this time only rush forward, at this time retreat is to find death, stubbornly holding forward is also looking for death, only rushing up and then sticking to the position can there be a glimmer of life,
"Rush, rush over, dare to retreat, die!"
The subordinate swung his sword and slashed a retreating subordinate and rebuked.
For a while, all the soldiers who were still in the mud were terrified, and while holding the round shield and fearing the arrows above their heads, they moved forward cautiously, but the mudflats were full of bamboo tips and thistles, although they did not die, but they made the screams endless!
"Stone them to death!"
On the shore, Li Long commanded the soldiers.
For a while, the prepared rolling wood and stones were thrown out one after another, which also caused a lot of damage, especially the number of people on the opposite side was only four or five hundred.
"The pikemen are on standby at any time, and the enemy will rush up and stab me to death as soon as possible!" Li Long shouted at the pikemen who were already gearing up behind him.
"No!" Military orders came out one after another.
Half an hour,
A quarter of an hour,
But the progress is very slow, which can make the general anxious.
"General, there are traps everywhere, it's too slow to rush up like this!" The guard next to him frowned and said in a deep voice.
The general frowned, then gritted his teeth and reprimanded angrily: "Let me connect the dead corpses in a row, and rush over by stepping on their corpses." ”
"No!" The crowd should go down.
Immediately, those soldiers who died in battle were directly used as meat pads, and even some who were not dead were directly forcibly pressed into the mud, used as stepping stones, and suffocated there!
"General, it has an effect!" The guard said urgently.
Seeing that the effect was very good, the general nodded, and immediately urged the armor soldiers behind him to speed up and rush over, and even let some of the dead soldiers pounce on all the remaining roads in one go.
For a time, all the soldiers went forward one after another, just to get through this mud.
After a while, a dead soldier paved a road, and the soldiers behind all wore round shields, roared, and rushed straight to the soldiers on the shore, and their Qingzhou soldiers would never retreat.
"Pikemen, stab them to death for me, and never let them land!!" Li Long frowned, this shore edge is very important and must not be lost.
For a moment, a platoon of pikemen rushed out.
These people have lost their earlier fear and cowardice, and it may be that the heroic righteousness of Cheng Bao and others not long ago has aroused the deepest blood in their hearts: "Damn, kill this group of miscellaneous people!" ”
"When I was a soldier, my mother told me that even if I die in battle, I will never retreat."
"My parents, wife and children are behind, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death!"
A group of people shouted to each other to inspire each other, the white-knuckle battle was an impact on the soul, especially when the two sides had already fought each other, the stump and broken arm flew everywhere, and countless blood splashed,
In the whole air, the smell of blood was even stronger, and the screams were even more incessant, which was undoubtedly a kind of mental torture for the recruits, and many people were directly scared to pee their pants.
"Poof!"
A soldier was cut open in the abdomen, only felt a pain, reached out to touch it, blood was stained everywhere, and the intestines in the key stomach flowed all over the ground, which frightened his eyes,
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
There are all kinds of them, and there are many different forms.
The only thing Li Long knows is that he buried these people here, although most of his side are pikemen, occupying the advantage of geography and weapons, but the opposite side is a veteran of a hundred battles.
The battle is even stronger.
But the more this happened, the more clear Li Long knew that these people must be defeated, otherwise Cao's army would land in an endless stream.
"Kill! Even if it is a Qingzhou soldier, let them know that the lander is dead! Li Long brandished his sword, encouraging these novices who had been in the army for a few months, and he wanted them not to be afraid.
But after the initial blood was stimulated by blood, some of them became frightened and afraid, and some of them were even more crazy, not afraid of life and death.
"General, if it goes on like this, the brothers can't hold on!" The guards looked at the soldiers who were constantly dying tragically, frowned and said in a deep voice.
"There is no way to retreat, there is only one battle!"
The general frowned, gritted his teeth and said, he has no qualifications to retreat!
"Kill!"
The generals are urging these elites,
But the gap in strength became more and more obvious over time, and gradually, the strength of Cao's army became less and less, and the combat effectiveness began to decline.
The blood pooled into the river and stained the water red.
Countless corpses floated in the Huai water, and as for the Cao army, they also rushed to the south bank after fighting for a long time, but there were only more than 100 of their soldiers and horses left, and the general would personally fight with a knife.
Before he led his army to the death, he also left some soldiers to row the ship back.
————
Two quarters of an hour later, on the south bank, the last remaining hundred or so people of the Cao army were all killed, and the losses on the side of the Chu army were not small, at least nearly two hundred people were buried together, counting the previous deaths, and one of the two sides died a thousand people.
This is still the case when the Chu army occupies an absolute geographical advantage, the advantage of weapons, and the number of personnel.
You must know that the Qingzhou soldiers suffered a lot of losses when they landed on the shore, and many of them died under the arrows, which also killed hundreds of Chu soldiers, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou soldiers is extraordinary.
There are still tens of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers on the other side, and if they are allowed to cross the river, the south bank will be finished.
Li Long wiped the blood splashed on his cheeks, his whole arm was trembling, that was the manifestation of exertion, and he didn't seem to notice the strong smell of blood in the air, but looked at his subordinates and said:
"Quickly prepare, drag all these corpses, the south bank cannot be lost, and the embankment Cao Jun can be guarded at any time."
"No!" Everyone responded in unison.
After this battle, they seem to be in a trance for the rest of their lives, this is the battlefield fight, one is accidentally hacked to death, under this high degree of tension, everyone seems to have walked away from the ghost gate.
As for those who have already arrived, it is a pity that they have not come.
Wang Xin rushed over with a group of young men at this moment, the closer he got to the rich smell of blood, the more he could smell it, and when he got closer, looking at the place where the battle had just taken place, the blood soaked through the soil and became bright red.
There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, countless internal organs are scattered, and some are dying, vomiting blood from their mouths from time to time, and everyone watching is beating drums in their hearts, this is the battlefield?
Although their courage is commendable, warriors who have not experienced life and death are lambs to the slaughter in front of those veterans who look down on life and death.
"General Li, how is the situation now?" Wang Xin asked eagerly.
"I killed some of the people who landed on the shore of Cao Jun just now, but I also learned from them that there are 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers in Cao Jun on the other side of the river, and once they are allowed to cross the river, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Li Long frowned, just a few hundred people made it difficult for him to deal with, and if tens of thousands of people completed the crossing of the river, he couldn't imagine what would happen.
"30,000 Qingzhou soldiers?" Wang Xin gasped, good guy, 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers, if you really let you land, even the Lusu army stationed here is estimated to be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat!
"And who are these people!!" Wang Xin asked.
"Fang Cai Chengbao took the dead man to hold the boat and set fire to the thief ship, these should be the few soldiers and horses who broke the ship and tried to land, I am afraid that they are still continuing to build the pontoon bridge, once the pontoon bridge is completed,"
Li Long did not continue to speak, but his expression could see that he was extremely dignified, and if he really wanted to land, it would be a disaster.
"Since the burning of ships is effective, why don't you continue to send people to burn them? Cao Jun must not be allowed to land, otherwise millions of people will die without a place to be buried! Wang Xin was dignified and immediately suggested.
"Well, I've already sent someone to organize, I hope Cao Jun doesn't have more defenses!" Li Long nodded.
"Well, if you have something to say, although you have an old bone, you can look down on life and death, and it's a big deal!" Wang Xin said solemnly, this is the land where he lives, and he must protect it.
The two are subtle, and the soldiers are busy.
——
And at this moment, the North Shore!
As the retreating warship docked, a group of soldiers rushed over,
"General, General Li news!" Xiahou Yuan's personal guards rushed over with these people.
"Say!" Xiahou Yuan reprimanded angrily.
"General, General Li led his troops to fight to the death with the south bank, before he died, he asked me to wait for the company to drive the boat back, and he also said that the soldiers on the south bank have limited combat strength, as long as they can land on the shore, they will be able to stand firm and kill through."
The soldier trembled and said.
"He died in battle?" Xiahou Yuan frowned, shook his sleeves and said: "I am still self-aware, I ordered the whole army to speed up the construction of the pontoon bridge, and sent the rangers to surround the surroundings to prevent the enemy from burning the ship again." ”
"No!" All the generals responded one after another, and they were even more embarrassed in their hearts, this general was the same as them, they were all Xiahou Yuan's generals, but they didn't expect to see each other for a while, and it was already yin and yang!
————
Shouchun, inside the water village on the north bank.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was almost dark, but Chu Feng couldn't sleep!
Turning over, putting on his robe, as soon as he opened the door, a cold current rushed into the room, blowing the sparks in the stove in the house and constantly swaying and dancing, burning more violently.
"Lord, it's not dawn yet, it's freezing cold, go to the house to avoid catching a cold!"
Outside the house, there was a personal guard general, who took two personal guards to guard the door in the cold, Chu Feng wanted to let them retreat many times, but it was impossible, and he still stuck to his post.
"Not necessarily!" Chu Feng raised his hand.
Looking up, the moonlight didn't see clearly, and he could see the obvious mist when he stretched out his hand, which made Chu Feng feel solemn, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how the defense is going in various places?" ”
"I'll go for a walk!"
Chu Feng opened his mouth and immediately strode forward.
Several guards hurriedly followed, and even a few more people came out of nowhere, supporting Chu Feng from front and back to prevent an assassin from attacking.
One side of the water village is the city facing the land, strong and heavy, it is built of cement and stones, etc., four zhang high, towering into the clouds. The other side is erected on the Huai River, and there is a dock docked here and there on the edge of the water village.
At this moment, in addition to the dock, there are countless ships, and there are many busy figures.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
Seeing Chu Feng coming, these busy figures hurriedly saluted respectfully, and they also sighed in their hearts, and their bosses got up to inspect at this point.
"How's the river going?" Chu Feng frowned and asked.
"Back to the lord, it's okay here, we are here, plus there is a fire burning, the fog is relatively not so thick, if you go to a place where there is no one, now this fog is five steps away, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it!"
The soldier replied truthfully.
"What happens when you sail on a foggy day?" Chu Feng frowned and asked.
"It's easy to get lost, and if you accidentally rush onto the tidal flats, it's very likely that you'll run aground, unless you keep sending small boats to cruise around, and you need to have multiple people who are proficient in water patterns, so you can judge the course!"
The soldier replied truthfully.
After all, the boatmaster is not like a small boat, even if the boat can't distinguish the direction in the fog, it is a big deal to rush directly to the beach, but the big ship will run aground if it is not careful, and it is very likely that the ship will overturn at that time.
"Are there many people who know water patterns?" Chu Feng asked.
"There are a lot of equipment in the army, but I am afraid it is more difficult for one person per ship." The soldier replied.
"With such a fog, the thief army is likely to make waves, go, find your general, notify you to go down, let the boat division assemble, prepare to set off, sail the Huai River for me, and prevent the thief army from crossing the river!"
Chu Feng immediately commanded.
"No!" The soldier was stunned, the danger factor of going out on such a foggy day was not low, but he did not dare to be disobedient, and immediately retreated.
And at this moment, not far away, Lu Su heard the sound and saw that it was really Chu Feng, and immediately shouted: "Lord, you haven't rested here!" ”
"The fog is filled, the thief army is very likely to move, how can you sleep!" Chu Feng's face was sad, the Quartet Alliance did make him a little passive, but in the past, he could annex the entire Great Han.
"Not very likely, but definitely!"
"If I were Cao Cao, I would never let go of this opportunity, but I don't know what the situation is like in various places." Lu Su sighed, but for hundreds of miles of defense lines, they don't know where the enemy is coming from now.
"Do you think the places can hold on?"
Chu Feng frowned and asked solemnly.
"Letters have been sent out from all over the place, and I don't know how it has been carried out in various places. The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the surroundings of Hefei have entered the first-level combat readiness, and the people have also entered the city of Hefei,"
"As for the surrounding villages, according to the lord, they have prepared cellars and arranged people to post sentry, once the enemy army comes, the people can hide in the cellars, and at most the villages will be destroyed!"
Lu Su took a deep breath and said heavily.
I guess there is no way to do it.
"Hopefully, but the things that Kong Ming developed earlier are already on the way, and when they are enough for the thief army, enjoy it!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, with a bit of anger.
