The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 429

"Boss, are we going to celebrate the New Year here?" A teenager asked the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Soon, soon, I will definitely take you back to celebrate the New Year."

"You always said soon, soon." The boy pouted dissatisfied.

"Little hook, you're talking nonsense, we're leaving you alone," another man said.

A group of five of them, Du Yu's subordinates, came to Qiaocheng to investigate.Yesterday Liu Hao sent a letter to scold Tan Hong. Tan Hong was so angry that he was going to attack Suiyang, and he was finally dissuaded by his subordinates.

But on the border between Suiyang and Qiaocheng, it was difficult for the imperial scouts to cross.The five members of Little Hook are detectives with makeup.

"Stop making trouble, there is a situation!" Captain Qu Hai stopped the fight between Xiaogougou and the veteran.

They were lying on the grass, not daring to breathe, and less than ten meters in front of them, the rebel troops appeared.From the number of people, no less than 1000 people.It seems that the equipment is very well equipped, and it doesn't look like they are going to guard the border.

When they left, Xiaogou snapped his fingers and said, "One thousand two hundred people, equipped with artillery and machine guns, should be the main force of the rebel army."

"But there is no strategic location ahead. Where are they going? They can't be surrendering to us, right?" said veteran Ge Jin.

The captain said solemnly: "No, they are going to sneak attack on the Yellow River Ferry. Hurry up and report back."

When he heard the rebels pass by, they said the word transition, which was less than [-] miles away from the ferry.If they took the straight road and turned over the mountain ahead, they could reach the ferry one step earlier and notify the defenders to prepare for battle.

The few people didn't dare to delay, threw the revenge they carried on the ground, and ran towards the Xibi Mountain in the distance with short guns pinned to their waists.

"Your Highness, the Chinese New Year is only two days away. The soldiers are all looking forward to it. Do we have anything to arrange?" Wang Shun asked.

"The New Year is coming, and the soldiers are still standing firm on the front line. Let's prepare some good meals for them, so that everyone can have a good New Year." Liu Hao said with a smile.

He knew that the soldiers were working very hard, and the weather in Suiyang was not good, he hadn't seen the sun for several days, and the wind was as cold as a sharp knife cutting on people's bodies.If it weren't for the arrival of the padded clothes transferred from Luoyang, the soldiers still don't know how many people would freeze to death.

He also blamed himself very much. After all, it was his first time leading an army in battle, and his experience was still very lacking.If it weren't for the help of Wang Yuan and Du Yu, he would have been at a loss for a long time.

"Your Highness! The main force of the rebel army is attacking the ferry. There are at least 3000 troops. The defenders at the ferry suffered heavy casualties. Send someone to ask for help!" Wei Maoshi shouted from the door.

"What! Let General Du lead the reinforcements! Our warship is still at the ferry!" Liu Hao shouted hastily.

"Yes! The general will go here." Wei Maoshi left in a hurry.

Wang Yuan said suspiciously: "Although the ferry is important, we have stationed three troops nearby, without 2 horses, we can't hold it if we attack it. What is their purpose of attacking the ferry?"

"Right now, we must repel the rebels first. The ferry must not be lost. Every warship is hard-won, and it took a lot of money to build it successfully." Liu Hao said.

"Brothers, go!" Du Yu led his cavalry to the rebel team and drove all the rebels in front of the reeds into the river.

"Haha, a bunch of rabble." Du Yu said with a smile.

The soldiers behind them shot at the rebels in the river, killing or injuring no less than a hundred people.Although the river was not frozen at this time, the water temperature was frighteningly low.

After a while, no more rebels floated up on the river.Du Yu took the troops to the ferry position and found that the casualties of the soldiers on the position were very serious.

"What's going on? How can this ragtag group of people bring you so many casualties?" Du Yu asked doubtfully.

This is a veteran who fought with Wei Liang in more than a dozen battles in Qingzhou. How could he be killed by the rebels just now?

The guard had already been killed, and Wang Liu, the political commissar, was the temporary commander. Seeing Du Yu's attire, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for coming to help us. We were not killed by the rebels just now. We went to Qiao The scouts from the city came to report that the main force of the rebel army was coming to attack. We had taken precautions, but we didn’t expect the rebel army’s fighting power to be too strong, and we suffered heavy losses, so we asked for help from the city.”

"Oh? Where are the rebels?" Du Yu asked.

Wang Liu shook his head and said, "They seem to have other goals, and they don't want to fight us at all. They used artillery to blow up one after another, made a charge, and then marched north."

"Then you don't stop?" Hearing this, Du Yu became a little angry.

"Don't be angry, general. We suffered such a huge loss just because we divided our forces to intercept." Wang Liu said aggrievedly.

Hearing his words, Du Yu's mood eased a lot, and he said to Chi Taining: "Send scouts to chase after him, and the army will follow!"

"Yes!" Chi Taining stepped back to arrange the scouts.

"General, I'm back." Qu Hai clasped his hands and shouted.

"You guys came to report the letter?" Du Yu asked.

Qu Hai nodded: "This group of rebels is very evil. They are very powerful in fighting. But they want to go north and are not willing to fight. If General Dong and Political Commissar Wang hadn't sent troops to harass them, they might not have launched an attack."

"Oh? It seems that there are things in the north that they attach great importance to, so let's not let them go. Get on the horse and chase!" After Du Yu finished speaking, he led the cavalry to chase north.

After running for almost two miles, scouts reported that the rebel troops were not far ahead.

"Brothers, get ready to fight!" Du Yu shouted, holding a gun in one hand.

When they turned over the hillside, thousands of rebels were urgently building positions on the flat ground in the distance.They knew that they were cavalry, and they could not run on two legs.

"Attack!" Du Yu shouted loudly.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

Ten thousand cavalry rushed down the hillside and rushed into the enemy's line facing the bullets.The saber in his hand slashed left and right, and the rebels suffered hundreds of casualties in just one charge.

The cavalry passed through the rebel positions, trying to regroup and charge.It was suppressed by the artillery fire of the rebels. They had more than a dozen mortars and machine guns.

Du Yu saw that the soldiers around him were constantly being shot off their horses, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

"Damn, the firepower is really strong. It has caught up with the deployment of the Dragon Army." Du Yu cursed as he ran.

Just now, nearly a hundred cavalrymen under his command were killed or wounded, and there was no bargain at all.At this time, the formation of the rebel army has been formed, and he can no longer let the soldiers die.You can only choose to retreat first, and then think of a solution later.There are reinforcements behind him, and Wei Liang's troops are already on their way.
