"The northwest wind that this bitch raised..." Looking at the fierce battle at the front, Lu Meng looked confident, but he was muttering in a low voice.

Liu Bei's crossbows were actually slightly better than Cao's crossbows, but due to the strong northwest wind, the originally weak range advantage disappeared, and he suffered a great loss.

Without the suppression of the crossbow, the pressure on Cao's army to cross the river was greatly reduced.

The more than 6,000 cavalry and infantry troops who attacked Zhang Ren (originally more than 20,000 people, lost part of the battle with the Sichuan Army) were all elite troops who followed Xiahou Yuan to fight south and north for many years. They were similar to the current battle between the rivers and crossing the river, and experienced more than once or twice.

Although not many people are familiar with water, these soldiers know how to skillfully use rafting boats to cross the river with as little damage as possible.

The average width of the slum is about eleven or two meters, which can only be considered a medium river at best. The river crossing location chosen by Xiahou Yuan is even only nearly ten meters wide, so it is not too difficult to cross.

If it weren't for the time being, Lu Meng would definitely choose Mangshui, which is more than 80 miles west, to build a defense line.

"Damn, if I had a thunderbolt chariot, it would be enough for these Cao Gou to bear..." Due to the surprise attack and forced marching, and the road was difficult and rugged, the Lu Meng army could not carry any heavy equipment at all.

The horses that were placed on the riverside to block the enemy were made temporarily and looked quite simple.

"General Lu, a small army of Cao's army has come ashore..." Duwei Dongjiu hurriedly ran to Lu Meng with a knife in his hand and a shield in the other hand.

"Ah Zui, are you stupid by the wind?" Lu Meng responded and replied angrily. "What else can I report to you? It's better to drive them down the river if you have the time..."

When Dong Zui was scolded by Lu Meng, he was not ashamed and angry, but instead felt comfortable all over his body as if he had eaten a elixir. After a silly smile, he replied loudly: "No~!"

"This kid!" Looking at Dong's farthest back, Lu Meng laughed and scolded.

.

As soon as more than a dozen Cao soldiers climbed to the east coast, they encountered extremely fierce attacks. Countless enemy soldiers carried swords and shields. They besieged from all sides.

"Kill~!" The soldiers on both sides fought desperately like mortal enemies with deep blood hatred.

In fact, the relationship between the two sides is not much different from the deep blood feud. Although there is no personal grudge between the soldiers, this war determines that both sides will either die or die!

The sharp blades of swords and guns reflected bright lights of bleeding under the firelight. A wipe of blood sprayed into the air with the swaying swords and guns. Then they cooled in the cold wind...

The first dozen Cao troops who landed ashore were more and more difficult to support the ground under the attack of Lu Meng soldiers who were several times more than theirs, and their feet gradually moved backwards. But the space for them to retreat was really limited, and there was a cold water behind them.

And there are also other companions who want to go ashore.

"There is no way out, one will fight to the death!" Among the Cao army who landed first, there was a Du uncle. He knew that there was no way out. After roaring, he rushed over as if he was crazy to face the opponent's swords and guns, "Kill!"

"Kill~!" Inspired by Du Bo, the remaining eight and nine Cao soldiers rushed forward like crazy beasts, and were like rocks to welcome waves of storm and shocks.

One after another, Cao soldiers came to the shore and joined the battle group.

Compared to this place, the Cao soldiers who forced their way through several other places were not so lucky. Countless horses were placed in a shape by the river to prevent Cao soldiers from landing. They were immediately behind the horses.

It was a row of gun shield soldiers, with huge tower shields standing neatly to block the arrows invading. A special gun hole was made in the middle of the shield, and the spear in the soldiers' hands stabbed out of the gun hole.

Further behind, there was another row of spearmen. Two-meter-meter-long spears extended out from the gap between the shields, forming a dense forest of guns with the spears of the spears of the front row of spears and shield soldiers.

After the Cao Bing who had landed on the shore, he had to face this forest of guns. Due to the lack of space for sprinting, coupled with the blocking of the horse, it was difficult for their attacks to be launched.

If the attack cannot be carried out, not only will he be in a passive situation of being beaten. It also dragged down the soldiers crossing the river in the rear. The number of rafts on the river surface became more and more, just like the pot noodles of dumplings.

The opponent's archers will not be polite at all, and the arrows shot from ordinary arrows have also changed from rockets. Because the rafts are too dense, the difficulty of dodging is multiplied.

From time to time, Cao soldiers were caught in arrows or caught fire, falling into the river in the painful and miserable wails. People who fell into the river, regardless of whether they knew the nature of the water, had very limited things to do in this cold river water, and they had to face accidental collisions on their own rafts.

Once it falls into the water, it basically means the end of life.

Fortunately, due to the tight time, Lu Meng did not have time to make too many horse-rejected horses. The Cao soldiers who noticed this began to turn around the raft and try to find places like the first batch of landing soldiers.

The number of Cao soldiers landed on the shore was gradually increasing, and the number of Lu Meng's troops was increasing. The battle became more and more tragic, and neither side wanted to retreat.

There are several sections of the river bank that have begun to accumulate in piles. The boiling blood flew from the body to the air and fell from the air to the ground. After cooling on the ground, it flowed into the river and mixed with the turbid river water.

.

On the mound, Lu Meng was watching the battle all the time.

The battle to cross the river has been going on for nearly an hour. During this period, the two armies poured out no less than 100,000 arrows, and the casualties paid have reached a level of thousands.

Although the attack of Xiahou Yuan’s army was sharp, it had a tendency to decline. The maximum number of soldiers crossing the river could reach 500, but they could only be maintained at this number.

Lu Mengjun, who was willing to suffer casualties, fought against the opponent's impact with his number of advantages.

"In another half an hour, Xiahou Yuan's attack would stop..." Lu Meng's eyes were as sharp as a verge of the battle.

But at this moment, the scout suddenly heard a shocking news - using the fierce battle here as a cover. The cavalry of Xiahou Yuan's troops quietly headed south and swam across a narrow shallow section of the river more than 20 miles south.

Although Lu Meng deployed a soldier there, it was still irresistible.

When Lu Meng, who should have been surprised, just sneered: "Xiahou Yuan, you did have such a move. Fortunately, I am prepared!"

.

Under the leadership of the Zhaowu Clerk Tan Xiong, 5,000 soldiers rushed to the south to cross the river at Xiahou Yuan cavalry.

Tan Xiong’s 5,000 people were arranged between two river crossing sites in advance to prevent Xiahou Yuan from crossing Chen Cang.

Lu Meng specially arranged personnel to pay close attention to the movements of the scouts sent by Xiahou Yuan. As a result, he found that the scouts had conducted several more surveys on a narrow and shallow section of the river to the south.

Based on this situation, Lu Meng speculated that Xiahou Yuan might use the strategy of secretly crossing Chen Cang, and secretly left a trick.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

.

While Lu Meng and Xiahou Yuan fought fiercely, Zhang Ren, who had been following Xiahou Yuan, also led his army to launch an active attack on his old opponent.

In an unfavorable situation of attacking on both sides, Xiahou Yuan, who should have been difficult to deal with from beginning to end, fully demonstrated his outstanding command ability of "Tiger Stepping on Guanxi". He blocked the attack with 2,000 infantry head-on.

The 2000 elite cavalry split into two and launched a mobile attack on Zhang Renjun from the left and right wings.

Because it was on the plain, the Sichuan Army, which had no danger, was very difficult to deal with the guerrilla strangulation of Xiahou Yuan's cavalry.

…………

The fire of the sky and earth was reflected red for half a day. The shouts of killing sounded like a battlefield everywhere and fighting everywhere.

The whistling of the north wind is like the sobs of countless women and children. Continuously! Crying and mourning for one lost life after another...

.

As Lu Meng estimated, Cao's army's offensive crossing the river was repeatedly declining, not only could it be unable to move forward half a step, but was even forced to retreat.

At the same time, the rain of arrows flying in the air is also weakening. The two-hour shooting time consumed the arrows to an astonishing level. And it is also a torment for human physical strength and willpower.

No matter which side the archer is, it can no longer be maintained.

Lu Meng, who had not moved for nearly half an hour, stretched out his hands and feet and chuckled.

This place is basically no longer a problem. As for the south, Lu Meng was not worried much———Because the sloping water is in a dry season, the water level is relatively low. It is not impossible to swim directly with cavalry in the narrow shallow section of the river in the south. But.

It's definitely not as simple as imagined.

Not to mention the unfavorable factors such as cold river water. The speed of a war horse carrying a helmet and armor is definitely quite limited when swimming. As long as there are enough troops to guard the river bank, Xiahou Yuan’s plan to swim with cavalry to attack the land will not be successful.

However, the huge change happened again at this moment, and this time, it really shocked Lu Meng...

Xiahou Yuan's offensive, which had already seen a small attack, almost instantly became high.

Thousands of infantry in the Cao army carried the raft and rushed down the raft again and began to force the ferry. However, this was not the most surprising thing.

On the two wings of the infantry crossing the river, thousands of elite cavalry of Cao's army emerged from the darkness, and then jumped into the river like a tide and began to swim directly.

The sharp-eyed soldiers of Lu Meng saw in shock that there seemed to be two round things on both sides of the Cao cavalry's war horses, but they couldn't see clearly what they were.
