Chapter 224 The Enemy Behind

boom!
A fierce force knocked down Xu Rong's weapon, knocked his whole body into the air, and fell to the ground ten feet away. The next second, the blade of the spear hit Xu Rong's throat. .

"Tie up!"

The lord said in advance that he wanted to capture this person alive. It is said that this person is very capable of commanding troops, so naturally Chen Dao would not strike hard.

The battle ended with Xu Rong being captured alive. Only half of the [-] infantry and [-] cavalry brought out by Xu Rong were left, and the rest were already killed.

Then everyone quickly walked towards the water village.

When they arrived at Shuizhai, most of Niu Fu's army had already boarded the boat and floated on the Yellow River. force.

"Unfortunately, let Niu Fu run away"

Tao Qian also followed, a little disappointed to see this.

"Not always"

Su Fan looked into the distance with a special smile on his face.

"What? Ning An, do you still have a backup?"

Tao Qian and Kong Ni looked sideways, and even Zhang Yang, who had the cheek to come over, looked at Su Fan, and Su Fan smiled when he saw this.

"My lords, let's wait and see after we cross the river. I'm not sure now."

"You want to board a boat and cross the river?"

Tao Qian said in surprise: "Ning An, this is impossible, it's too dangerous. Niu Fu and the others are already in the river. After you get on the boat, they will almost reach the opposite bank. At that time, they just need to wait on the bank."

Tao Qian didn't finish, but the meaning was obvious.

"Tao Shijun, of course I know, but I didn't plan to actually go ashore. I just gave them some counterattacks on the river. It just so happens that these boats are not small, enough for us to board [-] soldiers."

Although the shipbuilding technology of this world is not as good as that of later generations, it is still much stronger than that of ancient times. Even the ships sailing in Hanoi are about three to five hundred tons, and the large ones are thousands of tons.

Of course, at this moment, the boat here is only about [-] tons, but it is enough.

Although the army under Su Fan's command was infantry, some of them could be said to be sailors, or navy. They would train at sea for a period of time.

Navigating these Hanoi boats is no problem.

"Tao Shijun, don't worry about us, we are just using bows and crossbows on the boat to harass Niu Fu's army remotely"

Of course, it was also to cover Zang Ba's [-] soldiers and horses.

"General, the scout team has discovered that there is movement at the dock on the shore"

"Really? Sure enough, it's just as the lord said"

"Haha! Our chance to make contributions has come, the whole army is ready"

Zang Ba's face was full of excitement when he heard the words, and the generals under his command were also gearing up for this surprise attack. They climbed over mountains and waded through mountains and rivers, and finally came to the other side, waiting for this opportunity.

On the riverside wharf, large boats docked one after another, and then groups of soldiers jumped off the boats quickly.

Some even jumped into the river impatiently, and then swam to the bank of the river, as if there was a tiger chasing after them.

In fact, there are indeed more than 30 large ships chasing behind, firing various crossbow arrows continuously.

"Damn it, the archers go ashore immediately and give me a reflex"

Niu Fu's face turned livid when he saw the pursuers behind him. Since there were pursuers behind him, then Xu Rong's army might have failed.

He no longer cared about what Xu Rong was eating, and he was broken through so quickly by the other party.

Now he needs to make a defensive battle immediately, and of course, his army will all go ashore soon, so that he has the advantage.

Whoosh whoosh!
In this dark night, the two armies constantly let the archers and crossbowmen of both sides shoot at each other. Unfortunately, although the range of Niu Fu's archers is similar to that of Xuzhou soldiers, the power of bows and arrows is much worse than that of crossbows.

In addition, the arrows of Xuzhou soldiers are all heavy arrows, which are more lethal.

After the two sides shot at each other, Niu Fu's side suffered even more, especially Xuzhou's soldiers were sitting and passing, scattered on the river, while his army was more concentrated in the dock.

Shooting and shooting, he has more and more casualties here.

"Damn!"

Seeing this situation, Niu Fu's eyes were tearing apart.

Rumble!
But then, it made him even more horrified and frightened.

This voice, which he was quite familiar with, was the sound of cavalry charging.

"Could it be reinforcements, but if my father-in-law sends reinforcements, he should say something."

He was puzzled in his heart, but it didn't take long for his doubts to disappear.

"Enemy attack!"

The voice from the back of the pier made him feel chills, the enemy attacked, where did the enemy come from.

The opposite side of the river bank is their territory, and the enemy has come to their rear at any time.

However, without giving Niu Fu much time to think, the cavalry came rolling in, with a terrifying aura, and directly led them.

They didn't organize any resistance at all, and they were scattered by the cavalry.

"It's over!"

Niu Fu's eyes were almost darkened. He knew what the final result would be if he was attacked by the cavalry. He himself had commanded Xiliang's iron cavalry before, and he was the uncrowned king, irresistible.

Under the front and back attacks, they didn't have much morale, and now even the Xiliang army didn't have any fighting spirit, and they fled crazily one by one.

"General, let's go!"

Niu Fu stood there in a daze, but his personal guard, seeing his general in a daze, quickly grabbed Niu Fu's rein, pulled him, and fled in another direction.

Right now on the pier, the army has already roared like a battalion. Countless soldiers are like headless chickens, scurrying around frantically, and those with weapons in their hands are even attacking their companions who are blocking them.

"Ha ha!"

"Happy! Kill me!"

The sounds of killing, crying, and begging for mercy floated to the surface of the river in the dark night.

"It seems that Xuan Gao succeeded, I didn't expect it to be so easy"

Su Fan stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the flames on the pier in the distance and the screams from inside, with a smile on his face.

"My lord, this time, I won Niu Fu's army, and my reputation will be greatly shaken."

Standing beside Su Fan, Chen Dao congratulated with a smile.

"Haha! It's far from being famous. Niu Fu is only a school lieutenant. Letting him command the three armies is doing him harm."

Su Fan shook his head. If this large army was commanded by Xu Rong, it would not be like this at all, and the other party would not choose to cross the river.

Sitting directly on the other side of the river and waiting for their coalition forces to come is the best strategy. If your coalition forces dare to cross the river, they will continue to attack on the river bank, making you dare not cross it easily.

The Yellow River is steep, and only a few places can cross the river.

The ferry Su Fan chose could only allow people to cross the river on a small scale, even so, it took three days.

It's a pity that Niu Fu didn't understand. When he crossed the river to Hanoi to stop the coalition forces, he gave up the advantage of the geographical advantage.

It can be said that his failure was his own fault.
