Chapter Ninety-Four: Storming the Camp!
I saw that in the direction of the upstream, a huge stream of water was rolling and rushing towards the Xiliang army in the river.
Li Ying and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army didn't have time to escape and react, and they were directly hit by the huge waves.
Most of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are good at fighting immediately, and they can't touch the water source all the year round, and most of them don't know the nature of water at all......
Many people didn't even have time to shout, they were swept away by the huge waves and buried in the water.
Zhong Xuan, Xiahou Shang and the others heard the loud noise behind them, turned their heads to look together, and saw the Xiliang army in the river that was hit by the big water, and their eyes widened in shock.
They obviously didn't expect that the situation would change like this, and they who were originally on the line of life and death would be able to get out of danger in this way.
Li Ying was riding on a war horse, and the war horse was carrying him and swimming hard towards the east bank, and he shouted as he tried to advance: "Withdraw, retreat!" ”
Some of the Xiliang soldiers who could swim also tried to follow him to the east coast, and at this time they just wanted to escape, and there was nothing else to think about.
"Kill!" There was a shout of killing from the direction of the upstream, but it was Xiahou Ba who took five hundred soldiers on a makeshift raft and went down the water, they stood on the raft, raised their bows and arrows, and shot at the Xiliang army that barely escaped in the water.
According to Cao Zhang's arrangement, he rushed to the upper reaches of the Feng River in advance and built a simple embankment to block the river, which caused the water downstream to become significantly shallower.
When the Xiliang army led by Li Ying crossed the river halfway, Xiahouba ordered the embankment to be broken and released the stored water, causing great damage to the Xiliang army.
The Xiliang army suffered heavy casualties under the double impact of Dashui and Xiahouba's troops, and in the end, only Li Ying fled to the east bank with hundreds of men.
Li Ying did not dare to fight again, and in a panic, he took the remnants of his army and fled in the direction of Chang'an.
When Xiahou Shang and the others saw the Xiahou Ba troops on the raft in the Feng River, they understood everything, and it was Cao Zhang who made arrangements in advance, so that they were saved at the critical moment and the enemy army was repulsed......
……
The moonlight shines on the earth.
Even though it was late at night, Cao Zhangjun's camp was still brightly lit, and soldiers patrolled from time to time.
It is precisely because the lights in the camp are bright that the soldiers have a clear vision, but they do not see the crisis in the darkness outside the camp so clearly.
Li Huan and Li Shi took 30,000 soldiers and horses and quietly came to the camp of Cao Zhangjun.
Li Huan secretly observed the situation of Cao Zhang's camp, and he obviously felt that the camp in front of him was hiding murderous intentions, and it was obviously an ambush and waiting for him to enter.
"Cao Zhang is really powerful enough, but this time my father has already predicted your prediction, and I will definitely be able to defeat you!" Li Shi muttered in a low voice.
After all, there are 30,000 elite soldiers on his side, and he believes that even if Cao Zhang is ambushed, he is not afraid, they will definitely be able to kill Cao Zhang and avenge him with one arrow!
"Uncle, let's go in!" Li Shi proposed to Li Huan.
Li Huan thought for a while and said to Li Shi: "Shi'er, you can't be anxious, Cao Zhang can't be unprepared, if we rush in, we will definitely fall into his ambush!" ”
"We have 30,000 men, twice as many troops as him, so what can he do if he has an ambush? Uncle, you're too careful. If you are afraid, you take half of the soldiers and horses and wait outside, and I will lead the troops in first, and if there is no problem, you will come to meet me again! Li Shi said to Li Huan with a little contempt.
Li Huan heard that Li Shi actually ridiculed himself, and scolded angrily: "Bold, who do you say is afraid?" You're just finely injured, and I'm thinking about you. Now that your two cousins have died in battle, our three brothers are left with you alone, I am afraid that you are in danger, in order to protect you! ”
When Li Shi heard Li Huan's words, he knew that there was something wrong with his attitude just now, so he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Uncle, don't be angry, it's the little nephew who is rude and blames you for your kindness." But now that our army has arrived in front of Cao Zhang's camp, we can't just stand still! ”
Li Huan also understood what Li Shi meant, he thought for a while and made a decision: "You take 20,000 soldiers and horses to wait outside the camp, I will lead the troops to kill first, if you are sure that there is no ambush, you will rush to kill!" ”
Li Shi knew that Li Huan was sincere in protecting himself, so he didn't argue anymore, and nodded in agreement: "Everything is arranged by uncle!" ”
Li Shi no longer hesitated, waved his hand, pointed to the Cao Zhang's camp in front and gave the order to attack: "Kill with me!" ”
As his order was issued, the 10,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army rushed towards Cao Zhang's camp with a roar.
According to Li Huan's assumption, Cao Zhang's camp should be an empty camp, that is, to wait until all his troops are killed in the camp, and then Cao Zhang's ambush soldiers will come out and ambush, so their impact at this time should not be subject to much resistance.
What Li Huan didn't expect was that as soon as his soldiers and horses rushed to the gate of the camp, there was a shout of killing in the dark, and the archers of Cao Zhangjun, who were lurking at the gate of the camp, rushed out, and faced the surging soldiers of the Xiliang Army, quickly opened their bows and arrows, and began to shoot frantically.
With the "whoosh" sound of arrows breaking through the air, the rain of arrows fell on the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who rushed ahead.
The screams continued to sound, although the accuracy of the bow and arrow in the darkness was affected to a certain extent, but because it was too dense, it still caused many soldiers of the Xiliang Army who rushed forward to be hit by arrows, and they let out a wail one after another.
Seeing this situation, Li Huan immediately gave an order: "Fight back!" ”
The archers of the Xiliang army had already prepared for the attack, and when they heard his order, they immediately opened their bows and began to release arrows into the camp, and the two sides quickly entered the battle mode of archery shooting.
Seeing this situation, Li Huan was slightly surprised, why did things be different from what he expected?
Why does Cao Zhang's camp have such a strong defense, this is obviously the rhythm of not wanting his soldiers and horses to enter the camp at all!? Could it be that their judgment was wrong before, Cao Zhang did not set up an ambush in the camp at all?!
Li's troops were still not dispatched outside the camp, and Cao Zhang's side dispatched archers to block the attack, and they were menacing, completely in a posture of full defense.
This situation put Li Huan's troops in front into a mode of hard fighting.
Li Huan quickly calmed down, the soldiers are impermanent, and the water is impermanent.
After all, they only predicted that Cao Zhang might set up an ambush in the camp, and this was not necessarily the result.
Now Cao Zhangjun is defending with all his might, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Li Huan was no longer entangled, and immediately adjusted his mentality.
"Attack with all your might!" Li Huan decisively gave the order to attack.
The Xiliang army beside him rushed out of a group of soldiers and horses again, and continued to strengthen the impact on Cao Zhang's camp.
