I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 199

Immediately, he shouted loudly: "The tiger and leopard cavalry retreat, and the infantry cover."

Immediately, I took the lead and rushed towards the river, and the five thousand soldiers who had already lined up by the river took the initiative to make way for a passage, and Cao Jun's cavalry rushed over, and the formation soon healed again.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanshao also understood the enemy's intention, which was to consume himself with infantry, and then let the enemy's cavalry come out to take the head.

Facing an enemy that was several times larger than himself, Pei Yuanshao did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the last 2000 men to attack the enemy without hesitation.

Thousands of soldiers of the Shence Army burst out with murderous intent, and rushed towards the enemy with red eyes. At this time, the enemy had already set up a row of shield soldiers in the front row, protecting the infantry behind them tightly. , There are thousands of long halberd soldiers staring at the back of the shield soldiers, ready to pierce and stab a fatal blow at any time.

Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire on the opposite side, even if the enemy is already heavily defended, Pei Yuanshao will make a breakthrough, and immediately lead the troops to attack again.

"Hush..." Thousands of arrows turned into sharp rain of arrows, drawing beautiful arcs in the sky, and hit the cavalry led by Pei Yuanshao.

"Ahhh..." The sharp arrows shot one cavalryman after another with incomparable accuracy, and many soldiers screamed and fell off their horses, being trampled into blood foam by thousands of troops and horses.

Fortunately, the distance was not far away. After a round of salvo, Pei Yuanshao led his troops to the front. The enemy halberd soldiers rushed forward quickly, and the sharp blades of each one were shining coldly, and they killed them near the front.

Pei Yuanshao avoided the dense arrow rain, raised his long knife, and cut off the enemy's halberd. Relying on the unparalleled powerful impact of the horse, he directly rushed into the enemy's formation. The Shence Army behind him saw that the enemy's formation was a little loose , followed by successive advances.

The enemy's well-built defensive formation was smashed in one fell swoop, and the remaining one or two thousand cavalry broke through the enemy's defense after paying hundreds of casualties.

In field battles, cavalry beat infantry, and cavalry had a huge advantage. Although this group of powerful soldiers was also elite, they were not berserkers who were trapped in the camp after all.

When Cao Zhen saw it, he thought he could take the opportunity to destroy the enemy, but he didn't expect to be self-defeating, but instead let the enemy defeat his own pawns, which is really embarrassing.

Immediately, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately led the troops to rush up, and once again launched a bloody battle with the enemy who broke through. In this way, the enemy's attack was completely blocked, and the enemy's attack speed was delayed.

The less than [-] soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao were surrounded by the enemy and completely reduced to a melee.

He already has the will to die. He didn't intend to live in the first place. With the idea of ​​killing one to earn money and killing two to earn one, he began to exchange his life with the enemy.

…………

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Pei Yuanshao and Cao Zhen launched a frenzied duel. Pei Yuanshao was at a disadvantage, but the victory was due to the desperate impact, and the two armies were still in a stalemate.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, an unprecedented fierce offensive and defensive battle was also staged. The difference was that the two sides were fighting for the natural ferry of Mengjin Water Village.

It's just that the offense and defense have changed, and Cao Ren commanded the army to attack.But Cao Jun is indeed not good at water warfare. Although it is just a battle to attack the water village, it is completely different from land warfare.

Cao Ren is a tiger on land, not a dragon in water, and indeed he is not very good at water warfare.

Although the Sima family did find hundreds of large ships for Cao Ren, most of them were cargo ships, not warships.Neither solid nor equipped to attack.

It only plays the role of transporting troops, and cannot give full play to the advantages of water warfare.

In addition, the speed of the Yellow River is still relatively fast, and it is very difficult to control the boat. The vanguard of crossing the river rushed towards Mengjin in unison. When they got close, they could only launch a long-range attack with a strong crossbow to suppress the defenders.

But Li Yun was obviously well prepared, and the bed crossbow flew towards the enemy ship with a "swish...", like small missiles, flying towards them in unison.

It was difficult for ships to move on the river, and they quickly became live targets. Coupled with the dense population, the arrows shot from the bed crossbow could penetrate several people with one blow.

The densely fired crossbows and crossbows hit the ship continuously. The huge impact made the ship sway, and the soldiers on the ship were also shaken to this side. Some soldiers who were already seasick said "Wow..." Spit up.

For a moment, an uneasy atmosphere spread in the bed cabin.

What made Cao Ren even more startled was that rockets flew into the sky, pointing directly at the sail and the cabin, and the raging fire became ablaze, and the soldiers hiding in the cabin rushed out of the cabin for a while, and soon there was an explosion on the ship. Severe crowding and stampede, many soldiers were directly squeezed into the river, and the scene was in chaos.

This tragedy made Cao Ren's brain twitch, as if struck by lightning. He did not expect that the difference between water warfare and land warfare was so great. Only now did he realize that he was still too confident and underestimated the enemy. But it seemed like a big mistake to win Meng Jin directly.

If the situation is allowed to continue, the [-] vanguard army will be buried in the belly of the fish.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was at a loss, felt infinitely desperate. Suddenly, he thought of his own life-saving straw, and quickly grabbed Sima Yi's sleeve, almost pleading: "Zhongda, you are resourceful, think of a way quickly, this battle depends entirely on you. Our army will retire at night!"

Sima Yi's face was solemn, and it should be said that this turned out to be unexpected for him. After all, he had never participated in a water battle, and he thought that as long as he had enough troops, he would definitely be able to take down the enemy camp. It's like a mountain.

Sima Yi was thinking quickly, and suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and he thought of an idea.

"General Cao, the waterways here in Mengjin are narrow, so many of our ships can't be lined up in a single line. The attack in twos and threes has become a refueling tactic, with heavy casualties. I remember that there is a shoal called Savage Beach ten miles to the east of Mengjin. , is a river bank formed by the impact of river sand. It is usually hidden in the water and will only be exposed during the dry season. Now I am afraid I can only take a risk, and instead land from here, and attack Mengjin from the rear. Maybe there is still a chance, but... "

Cao Ren was very excited when he heard it, and suddenly he heard him say "just" which made him a little uneasy, so he quickly asked, "Zhongda, what is it just? Could there be something hidden?"

"It's just that near the river beach, the river water is not that deep, so it's easy to run aground. Then these ships will be unable to leave, and our transportation capacity will be reduced a lot."

As soon as Cao Ren understood it, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons. He felt that this was the only chance to break the game. If you run aground, just run aground. It's better than feeding the bastards by sinking your own ship.
