Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 78 Counterattack
Following Yue Fei's order, soon, the troop carrier behind the gunboat slowly approached the shore.

Next, countless soldiers quickly dismounted from the boat, and began to gather and line up in the open space by the river bank to guard.

If there were no artillery to drive away the Guanzhong army on the river bank, then when Yue Fei's soldiers landed, they would be attacked by enemies several times larger than themselves.

Fortunately, the Guanzhong army at this time was routed by artillery and did not dare to come over for a while.

And at this time the artillery was suppressing the enemies in the city, which allowed Yue Fei and the others to calmly go ashore and line up to guard.

Tens of thousands of people logged in. The scene was very large, and the river bank, which was several kilometers long, could only dock dozens of ships at a time.

It is estimated that it will take about two hours for everyone to log in and go ashore.

It can be seen from this that if there is no artillery, if the army is attacked by the enemy when it is registered, what kind of blow it will bear.

It's no wonder that when Yue Fei proposed to log in directly on the south bank of the Weishui River at the beginning, everyone laughed at him.

Eighteen gunboats, after firing a few rounds of artillery, stopped for a while to wait for the artillery to cool down, and then fired several rounds of artillery.

It wasn't until two hours later that Yue Fei's [-] soldiers and horses had all logged in.

"Haha, good! Good job."

Seeing Yue Fei's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses logging in, Cao Cao laughed happily.

"Pass me the order, and all the ships will continue to transport troops without stopping." Cao Cao gave the order.

"In addition, I predict that the enemy at Tongguan will not be able to sit still. Pass my order to let Zixiao (Cao Ren) lead troops to attack the city from the east gate. The bigger the momentum, the better. Dozens of land artillery from Youzhou will also be used stand up."

…………

After Yue Fei's army logged in, it was like setting nails on the south bank of the Weishui River. When the troops behind logged in again, they would not be attacked by the enemies on the shore.

"What to do? What to do now?"

In Tongguan, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others were anxious when they saw that Cao Cao's troops had landed.

This Tongguan is just to the east of the south bank of the Weishui River. If Cao Cao’s army is allowed to continue to log in, it will be tantamount to cutting off the back road of Tongguan. The 10,000+ troops stationed in Tongguan will not be able to get food supplies. There is no need to fight this battle, just wait. They had to starve to death in the last month.

Historically, when Cao Cao's army crossed the south bank of the Wei River, the Guanzhong Allied Forces had already abandoned Tongguan.

However, it is different now. Now 10,000+ troops are still in Tongguan. If Cao Jun cuts off the retreat, it will be over.

"Let the cavalry go out of the city. Cao Jun must be driven back no matter what, otherwise we will have to abandon Tongguan." Ma Chao said to everyone.

As Yue Fei's army landed near the end, the Guanzhong Allied Forces finally started to move.

This time, the Guanzhong Allied Forces directly invested tens of thousands of cavalry at one time.

The west gate of Tongguan slowly opened, and then countless cavalry rushed out like a flood.

Seeing this scene, the eighteen gunboats in the Weihe River fired again, and countless shells hit the cavalry in the city pass like meteorites.

"Come on, rush up and fight them in close combat."

Countless people galloped wildly, hoping to quickly rush to the Cao army already lined up on the river bank, so that they would not have to worry about the powerful weapons on the boats in the river attacking.

On the river bank, eight thousand heavy armored infantry were already in formation, and two thousand cavalry were ready to attack at any time.

Everyone was wearing plate armor painted black, which seemed to be endless black.

Fortunately, it is already winter. If he wore such a black armor in summer, he would probably be sweating all over his body.

"Everyone prepares their spears."

Seeing the cavalry in Tongguan charging towards him, Yue Fei gave the order decisively.

Faced with the cavalry attack who were not in formation and somewhat scattered, Yue Fei didn't pay attention at all.

The cavalry attack is powerful, but first you have to gather together to charge. If you rush out of the city gate and go straight to the enemy's formation like this, the lethality is also limited.

In fact, the Guanzhong Allied Forces also wanted to assemble the army outside the city before attacking the enemy's formation, but the artillery on the Weihe River was too powerful, and they would not be given time to assemble.

Wherever you dare to assemble, the shells dare to hit.

However, what the Guanzhong army wanted was not to attack the enemy's formation, but to rush into the enemy's formation at the speed of cavalry, and then defeat the enemy in hand-to-hand combat with a numerical advantage.

Yue Fei's landing army was only about 1 people, but the Guanzhong Allied Forces dispatched tens of thousands of people this time. As long as the two armies are entangled, the gunboats will not dare to fire, and they will be able to defeat the enemy.

Just when the Guanzhong Allied Forces went out of the city to attack Yue Fei's army, there were also trembling gunfire and shouts of killing on the east side of Tongguan.

It turned out that Cao Ren had received Cao Cao's order and was leading an army to attack the city from the east, so that he could give support to Yue Fei's army in the west.

Sure enough, when Cao Ren's army was besieging the city, the Guanzhong Allied Forces originally planned to send half of their troops to attack Yue Fei's army, but in the end they were reduced by half, and only 5000 people went out of the city to attack.

To the west of Tongguan, although there were continuous artillery shells, the cavalry in Guanzhong rushed to Yue Fei's army quickly.

Even though the front of Yue Fei's army was full of slanting spears, the Guanzhong cavalry did not hesitate at all.

At this time, the Guanzhong army had to go all out. If Cao Jun blocked the back, they would all die.

The impact of the cavalry is often only the most violent in the first wave. As long as the first wave of offensive is resisted, the cavalry will lose the slightest impact, and many people can only dismount and fight on foot.

Under such circumstances, Yue Fei successfully counteracted the first wave of cavalry impact by relying on the spear formation, and then the two sides entered the mode of hand-to-hand combat.

boom!
A soldier in Guanzhong slashed at the body of a Yuefei soldier with his sword, but there was only a bang, and the soldier was not injured at all.

puff!
The next moment, a short knife stabbed hard into the chest of the Guanzhong soldier.

The Guanzhong soldier couldn't figure out what the man in front of him was wearing until he died.

"Archer, shoot!"

In the back row of Yue Fei's military formation, countless archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and began to shoot indiscriminately.

clang clang clang.

This is the sound of a bow and arrow hitting plate armor.

Puff puff puff puff!

This is the sound of bows and arrows hitting Guanzhong soldiers.

Yue Fei's soldiers were all covered in iron armor, and their bows and arrows couldn't hurt at all, but the soldiers in Guanzhong were different, and they suffered heavy casualties under indiscriminate attacks.

Such a situation is unique in battles throughout the ages. Generally, as long as soldiers from both sides get entangled, the archers in the back row will be useless.

But now, not only the soldiers in the front row are killing, but the archers in the back row are also outputting frantically.

However, in terms of who is more efficient at killing the enemy, the archers or the ordinary soldiers, it is still the soldiers in the front row. They are wearing iron armor, and the enemy cannot hurt them, but they can give the enemy a fatal blow.

As a result, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the soldiers of the Guanzhong Allied Forces collapsed immediately after seeing that their enemy was a monster that could not be hurt by swords.

Suddenly, countless people began to retreat.But the soldiers of the Guanzhong Army behind them were moving forward, and the battlefield was in chaos for a while.

Seeing such a situation, Yue Fei certainly would not give up such a good opportunity.

The next moment, an attack horn sounded.

Immediately, with a burst of shouts soaring into the sky, countless heavily armored soldiers began to attack.

The two thousand heavy armored cavalry in the rear also began to attack the flanks of the Guanzhong coalition forces.

The battle lasted for less than half an hour. With the heavy losses of the Guanzhong Allied Forces, the Guanzhong Allied Forces that attacked the city were defeated again.
