Chapter 443(1/2)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was already surprising that so many cavalry suddenly appeared and waded directly across the water. What surprised Lu Meng's soldiers even more was that the Cao army cavalry with helmets and armor was not as difficult as they imagined when swimming across.
These cavalry can even hold leather shields to block arrows.
"What's going on? How can cavalry swim so easily?" The commander Dong, the chief officer, ordered people to inform Lu Meng of this emergency military situation, while commanding soldiers to intercept the Cao army cavalry who were swimming closer.
But everything in front of me was still too surprising.
The key to the problem seems to be the round thing on the left and right sides of each Cao army cavalry.
"What the hell is that?" Dong Ji simply didn't think too much, threw the sword and shield to the guard beside him, reached out and took a strong bow, then took the arrow and opened the strings, aiming at a closest cavalry to the swimming cavalry.
The sound of the bowstring sounded, and a wolf tooth broke out into the air.
Fearing that the arrow would not hit, Dong Ji without hesitation, pulled out another long arrow, and opened the bow to prepare to continue shooting.
At this moment, a slight "click" sound was heard through the noisy shouts of killing, and the sound of water waves came over. In his sight, the ball on the left side of Cao Qi was no longer visible.
Fortunately, Dong Zui's first arrow hit the target accurately. In fact, Dong Zui's archery skills are also well-known, and he had served as a personal soldier of Gan Ning earlier.
Gan Ning was the second sharpshooter in Liu Bei's army after Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Li Tong, and he took good care of his subordinates. Dong Zui was able to learn beautiful archery skills because of this.
The ability to shoot a moving target in the rushing river was somewhat beyond Dong Zui's own expectations.
However, this is not the key to the problem. The most important thing is that he vaguely guessed the purpose of the spherical objects on both sides of the Cao army's cavalry. It should be a capsule made of materials such as leather, which is blown into a ball.
The purpose is to reduce the weight of the swimmers.
This kind of inflatable bag is not common, but when Dong Ji was still in the Jinfan Navy, he saw a child in the south using similar things when he was first learning to swim, so he could react immediately.
If it were someone else, it would be hard to think of this aspect.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yuan would use this rare method to help cavalry swim.
.
"I fell into the trap..."
After hearing Dong Zui's report panting, Lu Meng's eyes tightened suddenly, and a biting cold rose from his feet to his head, and he could even feel his scalp exploded due to the cold air. His whole body was like falling into an ice cellar.
At the same time, his mind quickly turned around and sorted out the things before and after:
Obviously, Xiahou Yuan expected that Lu Meng would beware of his "speaking east and attacking west", so he went against the rules. Xiahou Yuan deliberately sent scouts to investigate other convenient places that were convenient for crossing the river.
This attracted Lu Meng's attention. Immediately, after the war between the river began, Xiahou Yuan specially sent a cavalry to make a mysterious and mysterious figure to create a false image that would cross the river at other places. In order to disperse Lu Meng's troops.
And his actual main force has always been confronting Lu Meng.
The battle between the river was going on for two hours, and both sides were exhausted. Even Lu Meng himself thought that the attack of Cao's army was about to end, and Xiahou Yuan showed his fangs.
He threw out the reserved thousands of elite boys and elite cavalry at the same time, and launched a truly forcibly crossing the river.
If it weren't for the dark night, if it weren't for the battle between Zhang Ren and Cao's army to cover up the audio-visual, Lu Meng would have been able to see through Xiahou Yuandi's attempt. However.
Xiahou Yuan cleverly used the right time, place, and people to complete a successful strategic deception.
There is no doubt that the situation of the battle has undergone a huge reversal——The nearly 7,000 soldiers of the Lu Meng army have been deceived from the main battlefield. In the previous battles, the existing soldiers have consumed quite severely both physical and mental strength.
Although there are still arrows left, the archers are no longer able to survive. If they cannot block the Cao army's cavalry in the river, once they go to the shore, the battle will be unimaginable.
Even Lu Meng himself does not have the confidence to be able to withstand Xiahou Yuan's elite cavalry in the plains. And it is still in the scattered formation.
The wind became tighter and tighter, and it was so roaring. It seemed as if the helpless ending of God maliciously mocking Lu Meng after he had done all the mechanisms.
In front, the sound of the war drum horns of Cao's army became extremely high and excited, and the rhythm was so fast that it was suffocating. In line with the drum horns, countless Cao's soldiers roared in unison, and rushed towards the east side of the water like a tide.
In contrast, Lu Meng's army seemed relatively quiet, and even the war drums stopped, perhaps because they had lost confidence in the battle situation.
.
"Damn it, I was actually fooled by Cao Gou..." Lu Meng suddenly burst into laughter in a long voice in the eyes of many generals Jiao Che. The loud laughter was so unrestrained and wild, which caused many soldiers to review.
After a while, Lu Meng restrained his laughter, gathered his energy in Dantian, and shouted sternly: "Since the southern expedition to Jiaozhou, I took 30,000 Jing Yangerlang from Jiaozhou to Jingzhou, from Jingzhou to Yizhou, and now I have fought in Yongzhou again. What battle have I lost?
If you are fooled, will you still be defeated by these Cao dogs today? Will you also throw our Jing Yanger's face and life together in this Yongzhou where you can't shit?"
"In today's battle, the soldiers of the three armies are below themselves, and they advance but not retreat, and I am invincible!" Lu Meng suddenly pulled out his sword and inserted it heavily into the ground beside him.
"Break the enemy~! Meritorious people~! Go home~!"
Lu Meng's last sentence uses three unconnected words, and most people will be shocked.
But almost every Jing Yang soldier who heard this sentence can understand the meaning————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
To achieve these two greatest hopes, we must win the battle in front of us.
If it fails, everything will be empty.
"Break the enemy~! Meritorious people~! Go home~!"
Starting from the soldiers around, neat battle slogans quickly resounded throughout the army. At the end, nearly 10,000 people roared in unison, and their fanatical fighting spirit soared in a straight line, burning the cold and solemn battlefield.
"If there is an enemy but no one, I will be invincible!" Lu Meng flew over and jumped onto the war horse led by his personal guard, held the sword high into the sky, and shouted loudly: "Kill~!"
.
Lu Meng did not only rely on his blood and courage to welcome Xiahou Yuan's attack that was as powerful as a craze.
He quickly adjusted his troops——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Archers support soldiers with weapons and soldiers, and deal with enemy cavalry together. Sword and shield infantry mainly deal with the forced crusades of Cao's infantry.
At the same time, Lu Meng urgently sent a quick horse to transfer Tan Xiong's troops back to the rescue, and informed Lu Dai, who led the troops to guard Chang'an and the Cao army in Tongguan, ordered him to continue to maintain pressure on Chang'an and do not have to come to rescue for the time being.
.
The fierce battle began again from the moment the first Cao army cavalry jumped onto the river bank.
I don’t know what Xiahou Yuan did in advance, but the cavalry of Cao’s army seemed to be unaffected by the cold river. He immediately rushed into the rush as soon as he landed on the first day of the first day.
Nearly ten thousand Jingyang men faced the iron-hoofed cavalry with their flesh and blood without fear, proving their courage and blood with iron and blood.
The swords, spears, swords and halberds roared violently in the cold wind, and the broken limbs and arms flew in the blood. The blood added another red carpet to the already red spotted earth, and the fierce shouts of killing shocked the sky and the earth.
Because the Cao army's cavalry swam across the river bank for a long time, the Lu Meng army was unable to take into account every place at the same time. More and more cavalrymen jumped onto the river bank and entered the battle.
The elite cavalry gathered into a charge formation swept from south to north, from east to west, and cut out roads one by one on the battlefield like a sickle.
.
"Array. Array..."
"Squeeze left and right, don't give cavalry space to charge!"
Lu Meng held the reins of the horse in one hand and waved the sword in the other, widened his red eyes, and shouted wildly at the top of his lungs.
With the shouts, Jing Yang's soldiers were dispersed by the Cao army's cavalry again and again, and formed into dense formations of cavalry refusing. Some of them fought against the cavalry's charge from the front, and some of them assassinated war horses from the side.
However, this battle was destined to be a huge advantage and disadvantage of both sides from the beginning——The plain terrain on the east bank of the Laoshui River was extremely good at cavalry charges. The Lu Meng army was unable to form a formation to effectively fight the cavalry charges in a hurry...
Even though the soldiers under his command were as fierce as Lu Meng, they were still unable to resist the back and forth conflict between the cavalry.
The clustered Cao army cavalry charged several times in a row, scattering the defense line laid by the Lu Meng army on the riverside. The other Cao army infantry also took the opportunity to land, further aggravating the transformation of the battle situation.
.
Realizing that the battle situation between Lu Meng and Xiahou Yuan was different, Zhang Ren was determined and ordered Zhang Yi and Wu Lan to lead 2,000 people each to carry the left and right guerrilla strangulation of the 2,000 Cao army cavalry, and he himself led the remaining 5,000 Sichuan army to forcibly attack the 2,000 Cao army infantry frontal blockade.
"Kill and kill~!" Zhang Ren's gun was like a dragon, as fast as lightning, piercing the throats and chests of one enemy after another.
While stabbing, he roared loudly. He wished he could have ten pairs, hundreds of pairs, and thousands of pairs of arms. He wished he could stab all enemies to death with one shot, and he wished he could turn the enemy chief Xiahou Yuan into a ghost under the gun.
The flying spear became a nightmare for Cao's soldiers! Several army Simas and Du Bo wanted to stop this arrogant and bloodthirsty enemy general and rushed forward desperately, but no one could block ten guns under Zhang Ren.
The Sichuan Army soldiers who were provoked with all their blood were like crazy beasts, and their throats were roaring in their throats, their eyes were blood-red and blood-red.
In this battle, the blood of the Sichuan Army may be gone, but the reputation of the Sichuan Army will surely spread all over the world!
Faced with such a group of beasts, the infantry of the Cao army responsible for blocking them was like a mainstay. Although they fell one after another, they endured a wave of violent attacks that were better than one.
………………………………………………………….
The sky gradually became brighter, and the north wind that had been blowing strong all night seemed to be weaker. The bloody smell filled the air was so strong that it could make people dizzy.
The earth, rivers, and even the air are all bloody.
The dark black bloodstained deeply in the soil, and perhaps in the months or even years that followed, this land would not fade away its strange color.
The slums that have nurtured hundreds of miles of people have become a river of flesh and blood. The river surface, about ten feet wide, has been filled with all kinds of things such as the corpses of people, rafts, and horses...
The river water cuts off its flow!
There were still shouts of killing echoes between heaven and earth, and the shouts of killing that lasted for seven hours.
.
The battle continues, but the battlefield has moved to the east of the sloping water.
Under the desperate fight of Lu Meng's army, Xiahou Yuan's army still attacked the Lvshui, including the 2,000 elite cavalry who went south to lure the enemy, and the cavalry and infantry who blocked Zhang Ren, all of which crossed the Lvshui.
Zhang Ren also followed Xiahou Yuan to attack the Lvshui, while the Sichuan Army was still fighting.
Lu Meng was also fighting hard, and the return of Tanxiong's 5,000 army did not improve much of the situation. However, despite the extremely heavy losses, he and the Jing Yang soldiers under his command did what they said - there is advancement but no retreat, and there is no victory for me.
To be continued...
