I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 200
"I'm in a hurry, and I can't take care of these things anymore. Come on, let Captain Cao Hao lead twenty boats along the river, from here to the wild man ten miles east, land on that river beach, and then detour behind Meng Jin , Launch a surprise attack and take Mengjin in one fell swoop." Cao Ren ordered decisively.

At this time, Li Yun's first wave of strong crossbow and bed crossbow attacks successfully contained the enemy's landing, and Cao Ren lost more than a dozen troop carriers. Nearly a thousand soldiers fell into the Yellow River and were swallowed by the muddy water. No trace.

However, the other ships stopped attacking rashly when they saw this, as if they were very afraid of their bed crossbows and archers.

Suddenly, Li Yun found thirty or forty large boats rowing downstream, which made Li Yun a little puzzled, and Li You, a local school lieutenant beside him, suddenly said: "General, there is a place called Savage Beach about ten miles downstream. , is a dark beach, the depth of the water is about one foot, if Cao Jun forcibly goes ashore from here, it is not impossible."

"What? There is still such a place. It seems that among the enemies are experts who are familiar with the water conditions along the coast." Li Yun shouted worriedly: "Come on, Lieutenant Li You, immediately lead the two thousand soldiers of the headquarters and head eastward. Rush to Savage Beach ten miles away, be sure to prevent the enemy from going ashore, and make no mistakes!"

"No! This subordinate takes orders, brothers follow me." Dang even called his team to rush towards the Savage Beach.

At this time, it was almost late autumn, and the piercing northwest wind was blowing across the northern land. Cao Jun on the ship took advantage of the wind to fully hang the sails, and also followed the thrust of the river, traveling at an extremely fast speed. quick.

Li You's 2000 men were all infantry, and half of them were crossbowmen. They also ran like crazy along the way, trying to catch up with this group of ships. Normally, the speed of the forced march should be faster than the speed of the ships.

It's just that the roads along the river in this area are winding and twisted, and there are often wetlands and mud puddles. They often have to detour to other roads, so the speed is naturally not fast.

When the two thousand soldiers led by Li You arrived, the enemy fleet was already docking, and the enemy soldiers could clearly be seen wading to the shore.

…………

The [-] big boats led by Cao Hao galloped downstream in a smooth flow. Under the command of the military commander Sima Yi, they successfully found the Savage Beach. When the sails were lowered, dozens of boatmen desperately headed towards the river bank. cross out.

However, most of the boats ran aground without accident when they were about ten meters away from the river bank. No matter how hard the boatman swung the oars, the boats still remained motionless.

This means that the dozens of large ships that have been pulled aside may not be able to move for a short time.

Seeing this, Sima Yi shouted: "Quickly abandon the boat, wade ashore and go to Mengjin, hurry up, it will be too late."

Immediately, Cao Jun's soldiers staggered from the boat and jumped into the waist-deep river, and ran towards the bank with difficulty. After being soaked in the water, the heavy armor became extremely heavy, and there were still ten catties in their hands. Weapons move extremely slowly and laboriously in the river water.

Before reaching the shore, everyone was out of breath.

The two armies didn't talk too much nonsense, and they went head-on. The crossbowmen led by Li You shot out a burst of arrows "咻咻咻...", and Cao Jun was knocked down in an instant.

Cao Jun was about to strike back with his bow and arrow, but found that the bow and arrow had just soaked in water and was very soft, making it impossible to fight back.

In desperation, Cao Hao quickly rushed ashore with his soldiers, trying to engage in hand-to-hand combat.However, after several rounds of lasing by the Bingzhou Army, Cao Jun was killed and injured, and the corpses floated downstream along the river.

In this way, three thousand soldiers of Cao Jun rushed towards the shore frantically, and after landing out of breath, they met the Bingzhou Army who was also galloping, and even started to fight.

Although Cao's army spent a lot of energy wading through the water to fight for the beach, and the armor was very heavy, and its combat power was attenuated, but the Bingzhou army also ran for ten miles, and was a little exhausted.

Cao Jun rushed ashore against the rain of arrows, and even started a bloody battle.

…………

Taking advantage of the reduction in the strength of the Mengjin defenders, Cao Ren organized a dozen large ships again, lowered their sails, and the shield soldiers on board were waiting in full formation, while the crossbowmen hidden among them, launched a charge.

At the same time, the five hundred water-based soldiers selected in advance will be asked to sneak off the boat and swim ashore. When the enemy is not prepared enough, they will launch a sneak attack and cooperate with him to take down the Mengjin Ferry from the side.

Under the long-range attack of Cao Jun's archers, the defenders' firepower was also weakened a lot. Although Bingzhou's rockets flew all over the sky and ignited many ships, several large ships finally rushed to the ferry.

Immediately, Cao Jun jumped onto the ferry and rushed towards the hinterland of the water village. Li Yun did not rush, and commanded the long halberd soldiers to stab continuously from the high platform built, and then stab again, killing the enemy so much that they cried and wailed. everywhere.It's just that more and more enemy ships are flocking to the ferry, and Cao's army is also flocking in a steady stream.

After all, Li Yun's current strength is less than [-]. Facing an enemy several times larger than his own, he is indeed a little weak.

Cao Ren immediately dispatched [-] or [-] large ships to land on the shore, and Cao Jun rushed forward with shouts.

This made Li Yun feel the overwhelming pressure. The enemy was so powerful that he might not be able to defend with his two thousand soldiers. At the critical moment, Li Yun chose to put all his eggs in one basket and roared: "Bowmen for rockets, target the enemy ship, shoot! "

Li Yun thought to himself, even if he couldn't stop it, he would destroy all the enemy's ships to buy time for his reinforcements, and never let the enemy land so easily.

Rockets all over the sky flew down like meteors, "swish..." and flew towards the enemy ships. Because Cao Jun chose to attack with a large force at this time, the ships were all close to the river bank, so after the rockets flew, they quickly ignited dozens of ships. The sails of the big ship.

The boatmen on board panicked and operated indiscriminately, causing several large ships to collide with each other. The fire spread in all directions with the help of the wind, and dozens of large ships ignited raging fire.

Seeing that there were more and more enemy troops, Meng Jin couldn't hold it anymore.There are less than 1000 soldiers left under Li Yun's command.Thinking of this, Li Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted: "The whole army retreats!"

Immediately after that, more than a thousand soldiers retreated while fighting. Seeing that the enemy had been defeated, Cao Ren immediately ordered all the ships to dock immediately, taking advantage of the opportunity to take this ferry.

Li Yun fought and retreated, but he didn't flee in all directions. He repeatedly retreated in an organized manner. Seeing that the enemy was pouring in, he immediately ordered fiercely: "Light it up!"

Following Li Yun's order, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were evacuating immediately fired their rockets at the predetermined position, only to hear a "bang...", and there were many thunderclaps at Mengjin Ferry.
