Chapter 65: Blood Spilled in Xia Kou [Seeking to Follow]
There was a fierce battle on the river, and the two sides revolved around the ownership of Xiakou Water Village.
After several offsets, the surging river has been dyed red with blood.
Although the Jingzhou soldiers defended by danger, they were at a disadvantage in terms of troops, which also led to a slight passivity under the attack of the superior forces of the Wu army.
"General Huo, the arrows in the village are exhausted, what should I do?"
"General, the enemy ships are pressing up again, how should our army defend?"
"Qi General Huo, Huo Junhou said that the Wu army's offensive was too fierce, and he couldn't support it anymore."
After a few words, all the soldiers came with unfavorable battle reports one after another.
When the words came to his ears, Huo Yi at this time was already covered in blood, his hair was sharp, his face was mottled, he was no longer heroic, and there was a trace of turbidity in his eyes.
Groaning for a while, his eyes were quite solemn, his hand tightly grasped the blood-dripping long sword, and looked at the enemy ark ship that was approaching again like a dragon along the river, his expression was solemn, and he said word by word:
"Order Huo Junhou to desperately defend the Snake Mountain defense line, and there must be no mistakes,"
"The rest of the soldiers waited with the general for the enemy ship to land and fight hand-to-hand with the enemy soldiers!"
As soon as he said that, he was full of momentum, and his words were full of anger.
This undoubtedly ignited the fighting spirit of his subordinates burning in their chests.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death."
The voice in the water village also reached the ears of Lu Meng, the main general who was supervising the battle in the battle, and for a moment there was no doubt that his sword eyebrows were condensed, and he sighed:
"Huo Yi really has extraordinary charm,"
"With more than 2,000 people, we can block the elite offensive of our army several times that of our army many times, and even now it can still inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers under your command."
"If this son is not removed, it will become a big trouble for Jiangdong!"
Sighing secretly, he clenched his palms and slapped them heavily on the hull of the boat, his tone was quite cold, and his face seemed to have a strong killing intent.
"Order all the troops to land and forcibly seize the water village."
Immediately, Lu Meng's face was serious, and he waved his sword and shouted angrily.
Due to the successive capture of Baqiu and Lukou, almost all the military supplies hoarded in various places were either captured or destroyed.
Therefore, even though his military strength was several times that of the enemy this time, the loss of arrows after repeated offensives was almost not replenished.
Now they had to order all the armies to land and fight hand-to-hand.
Water warfare is nothing more than two ways.
The two sides shoot each other with bows and crossbows on warships or water walls, and Xuancheng strikes each other.
The other is to use a sharp blade to attack the enemy and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
"Kill, kill~"
The flags were constantly changing, and the Wu soldiers on each boat discarded the bows and crossbows in their hands, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and prepared tightly.
When the boats and boats approached the river, countless Wu soldiers rushed up to the shore and killed the water village.
At this time, Huo Yi, who had already led his troops to prepare for a long time, saw this, raised his knife and said sharply:
"Soldiers, follow the generals and defeat Wu Man."
"Protect Xiakou, protect my water village."
"Battle~"
As all the soldiers shouted in unison, the roar shook the sky.
Seeing that the army's heart was available, Huo Yi led his troops to take the lead and kill them.
The two armies rushed towards each other at the same time, and in a short time they fought fiercely.
As soon as hand-to-hand combat began, it fell into a very fierce level.
The soldiers on both sides also quickly killed each other.
Huo Yi also slashed and killed enemy soldiers with a knife in one hand, and constantly intertwined left and right with a shield in the other hand to block the blades cut by the enemy.
In just a short period of time, more than a dozen corpses appeared around the body.
The killing of more than ten people made Huo Yi's murderous aura even worse, making the rest of the Wu soldiers shocked, with a faint look of fear on their faces.
Seeing this, the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers were undoubtedly greatly encouraged.
The morale is high, and the combat power is getting stronger and stronger!
Even though the strength of the Wu army was far above the Jingzhou army, it was killed in fear for a while.
The so-called "general is the courage of the soldiers", Huo Yi's leading soldiers and courage are incredible, which greatly encourages the morale of the soldiers under his command.
In addition, the water battle of the Jiangdong Boat Division can be called elite, but the foot battle is difficult to describe.
This is not comparable to the soft temperament of the Jiangdong Shimin and the thin body, which is difficult to compare with the majestic northerners.
Before Huo Yi charged this time, he deliberately lined up the recruited Cao soldiers and prisoners of war in the middle to attack from the front.
The Seventh Army captured in the forbidden place was originally composed of Qingzhou soldiers who had been fighting for many years, and their combat power in foot combat was quite strong.
On the other hand, water warfare is more about archery and personal bravery.
This is due to the fact that it is difficult to organize a phalanx battle due to the limited space.
Therefore, soldiers who are good at water warfare pay more attention to personal bravery, and are not so good at teamwork.
Naturally, as soon as you go ashore, you will have to face the various infantry troops lined up in dense formations, resulting in a great disadvantage.
This is also the reason why every time the Wu army landed on the shore to fight, it was almost always at a disadvantage.
Huo Yi obviously saw through this, and this time the arrangement of troops was also to place Cao's soldiers in the center and use their strong phalanx to crush the Wu army.
On both sides, private troops funded by the wealthy clans of Zhijiang were arranged to assist in the fight on both flanks.
After fighting for a long time, this phalanx can be described as effective.
Although the Wu people had the advantage of having more soldiers, they were killed by the soldiers led by Huo Yi and retreated.
The Wu soldiers at the front were actually faintly evacuated from the shore to the boats docked by the river.
"Jingzhou soldiers are so violent?"
This battle situation made the generals and colonels in the formation see this, and their faces suddenly changed instantly.
With such a large military advantage, was it pushed back?
Rao is on the boat in the rear, and Lu Meng, who was always paying attention to the direction of the battle, couldn't help but show a heavy look on his face when he saw this scene, and was silent for a long time.
The rest of the generals on his side seemed to be reminded of the battle of Xiaoyaojin a few years ago.
The fierce man of Bingzhou led hundreds of troops to rush left and right in the formation of tens of thousands of troops on his side, as if no one was in a no-man's land.
"Huo Yi's courage is probably comparable to Cao's general Zhang Liao, right?"
Some of the generals were afraid in their hearts and thought about it.
But the importance of Xiakou Water Village, Lu Meng is also quite clear.
Even though the enemy was stubbornly resisting a counterattack, he was resolute at the moment, and shouted in a sharp voice with an expressionless face:
"Continue to intensify the attack and capture the water village!"
The military order was passed down again, and I saw a steady stream of Wu soldiers on the boat landing and attacking.
In the chaos, facing the Wu soldiers who were like a tide in the inner and outer three layers, Huo Yi, who was covered in blood on his robe and stained with thick blood on his cheeks, waved his knife and shouted:
"Don't panic in all departments, as long as you keep the formation and rush to kill, the Wu people will be helpless and wait!"
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi's tone was loud, and the roar spread all over the riverbank.
He is the backbone of the whole army, and the generals are also quite relieved after hearing this, and they are all in danger and slowly slaughter in the Wu army.
On the banks of the river, endless corpses continue to proliferate.
Blood gradually stained the wilderness by the river.
Even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if it is under siege.
However, all the soldiers in Jingzhou followed behind Huo Yi, who was quite brave, and they all reaped the lives of Wu soldiers with great might.
