Han counter current

"I know, the enemy army is strong right now, and the brothers really did their best. All the warships were affected by the fire. Fortunately, these fires prevented the Jiangdong Army's attack area from being so wide, otherwise the brothers would suffer more casualties.

Pass down the order to send all the last 2000 people up. In addition, organize the retreat of the wounded soldiers. General Wenpin will meet us in the back and tell the brothers not to mess up. The brothers in the back will support us. "

"Ah, here, Commander, you, are you going to retreat?"

"If you don't retreat, even if you don't die at the hands of the Jiangdong thieves, you will probably be burned into a roast pig. The fire is too strong. The southeast wind tonight is very abnormal."

Lu Xun shook his head helplessly. The northwest wind was blowing in the first half of the night, which was beneficial to the Jingzhou army. If the Jiangdong army dared to set fire at that time, they would have burned their own warships.

However, in the middle of the night, the wind direction changed suddenly, and a strong southeast wind blew, and the Jiangdong Navy seized this opportunity to make a surprise attack. The Jiangdong Army was better at grasping the opportunity.

Half an hour later, the remaining Jingzhou navy fought and retreated, and the wounded were transferred first. In addition, Lu Xun commanded calmly in his uniform. Although the Jingzhou army was at a disadvantage, the formation was stable.

In the end, of the more than 3 Jingzhou naval officers and soldiers in the front line, only more than 7000 retreated to the second front. Thousands of people died in the fire, and thousands of people died in the hands of the enemy. Falling into the Yangtze River in the night, I don't know whether I'm dead or alive.

"Okay, let's pass on the order. The 2 troops hit will move forward immediately. We must move the front line forward and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe. We have already captured the enemy's strongest frontline position. Next, it will be much simpler. "

A gratified smile finally appeared on Zhou Yu's face. Although many soldiers were lost, the results of the battle were very fruitful. He annihilated so many enemy troops, and even captured the enemy's frontline positions. The enemy force was pushed ashore.

After a short rest, the three men on Zhou Tai's side gathered the [-] troops from the rear and started to advance again. After Lu Xun retreated to Wenpin's side, the two armies merged to continue fighting, but after half an hour they had to fight again. retreat.

Then came the third line of defense Zhang Yun was in charge of. Nearly 3 soldiers of the Jingzhou Army fought desperately, trying in vain to resist the advance of the Jiangdong Army. The formation is not stable.

"Report, general, general, the morale of the enemy army in the east of the Yangtze River is like a rainbow, and they have broken through three lines of defense of our army. They will soon reach the fourth line of defense of General Huang Zu. General, please make a decision."

"The three lines of defense on the front line, with a total of about 5 soldiers, can't stop the enemy's attack. It seems that Zhou Yu has hidden a lot of strength before. What the foster father said is right. We really don't know how many cards the Jiangdong Army has. clear.

It stands to reason that General Wenpin and General Zhang Yun are veterans on the battlefield, and with Bo Yan's assistance, they shouldn't have retreated so quickly. Could it be that they lost the courage to resist when they saw the enemy? "

"General calm down, the frontline soldiers came to report. Originally, our soldiers were able to resist, but after the enemy reinforcements came up, the two thousand assault troops in the front were armed with a strange crossbow, which could be fired one after another. It was overwhelming in a small area. Our army brothers suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to resist."

"Strange crossbows? Impossible, how could the crossbows be fired continuously, come here, call more crossbowmen to stand by the shore, and never let the enemy advance by surprise..."

Faced with these emergencies, Gao Zhong could only deal with them in an ordinary way. As for the enemy's strange crossbow reported by his subordinates, he had never seen it before, and he couldn't think of a better way.

"General, the enemy army is approaching fiercely. In my opinion, General Huang Zu's side may not be able to hold on."

Mu Fu next to him was worried. It was less than an hour before dawn, and the enemy army was about to attack the shore. If this battle spread to the camp on the shore, their losses would be huge.

"It doesn't matter, isn't there General Cai Hao's last line of defense? Immediately send someone to tell him that the strange crossbows in the enemy army that are good for close combat can be fired continuously, so that he can prepare as soon as possible.

Wooden sacrificial wine, prepare as I said just now, no matter how well prepared the enemy army is, we will not be defeated tonight, hum, Zhou Yu, a military strategist in the world, I want to see how capable he is. "

"No, this subordinate will do it now,,,,,,"

The Jingzhou army still underestimated the strength of the Jiangdong army after all.With the assistance of two thousand Zhuge Liannu, the imposing Jiangdong soldiers, led by Zhou Tai and other fierce generals, broke through the defense line in charge of Huang Zu.

The defeated Jingzhou army had to retreat to the last line of defense on the river. Fortunately, Lu Xun, Huang Zu and others commanded properly, and most of the troops retreated without chaos. Otherwise, the battle would have been impossible.

Of course, the Jiangdong Army also wanted to use this defeat to attack Cai Mao's defense line. More than 4000 Jingzhou Army's defeated troops were driven directly towards the defense line, followed by more than 1000 Jiangdong Navy.

But who is Cai Hao, anyway, he is also the governor who has been in charge of the Jingzhou Navy for more than ten years. Faced with this unexpected situation, he directly ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows.

Since ancient times, Ci has not been in charge of soldiers, and at such a critical moment, no matter whether it is the enemy or his own subordinates, as long as they dare to attack their own front, Cai Mao will not be polite.

"Retreat to both sides. Those who have no time to retreat will jump into the water and swim back. Anyone who disturbs my formation will be killed without mercy..."

After a roar, the thirty burly soldiers next to him shouted Cai Mao's order in unison. No one dared to question Cai Mao's order in the Jingzhou army's rout in front. Some people really didn't have time to turn around. , hugged the wood and jumped into the water.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army in the back wanted to continue to chase away or shoot those Jingzhou soldiers who were diving, but they were all shot to death by Cai Mao.After shooting more than 2 arrows, the more than 1000 Jiangdong soldiers who pursued them all became hedgehogs.

816 The Dust Settles 1

The final responsibility fell to the defense line organized by Cai Mao. Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, and Wen Pin each led most of the defeated troops in the headquarters and retreated directly into the water village. They could no longer participate in the battle on the river.

But Lu Xun was even more straightforward. His troops went ashore directly to the camp to rest. As for himself, he temporarily stayed with Cai Mao to help direct the battle.The former commander of the Jingzhou Navy is finally about to show his strength.

From the time of the Jiangdong Army's attack to the present, there are still more than 2 soldiers left on the frontal battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is still strong. On Cai Mao's side, although they are waiting for work, they only have [-] troops. Whether Cai Mao can keep the morale of the soldiers in the rear is a question.

"In one go, enter the enemy's water stronghold, before dawn, burn the flames of war to the enemy's shore camp, soldiers, kill..."

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other generals all knew the urgency of time. It was less than an hour before dawn, and the enemy army was in chaos. Taking advantage of the last night, they had to seize the time to attack.

"Come on, you bastards, I'm here today to teach you how to be a human being, how to fight a water battle, come on, crossbowman, let the arrows go..."

Cai Hao also made up his mind. In today's battle, if he can block the enemy's attack at the last moment, then when the meritorious service is rewarded, he will be able to win the title of turning the tide. Only in this way can he be worthy of the commander of the Jingzhou Navy name.

If he can't stop him today, then the former Jingzhou Wizard, then the Naval Commander, these glorious titles that have accompanied him for more than ten years, can no longer be mentioned in the future.

"Raise the shield, stick it on, cover the crossbowman with the sword and shield hand,,,,,,"

Jiang Qin was commanding from the rear, and Ding Feng was also assisting. As for Zhou Tai, he was already wearing a layer of armor and charged at the front with a shield on his shoulder. He wanted to be the first Jiangdong warrior to break through the enemy's defense.

When there were more than 70 steps away from the Jingzhou Navy, the Jiangdong Navy had already lost nearly 2000 people. The crossbowmen of the Jingzhou Navy fired too many arrows, and even the warships of the Jiangdong Army I can't take it anymore.

"There are still more than ten steps, hold on for me, row the boat, row the boat quickly,,,,,,"

Zhou Tai has already changed three sets of shields, so many arrows were shot, and the weight in Zhou Tai's hands has doubled after being stuck on the shields. hedgehog.

In the battle tonight, the Jiangdong Army has too many advantages. The southeast wind alone has helped the Jiangdong Army a lot.On weekdays, the crossbowmen of the Jingzhou Army can shoot more than 100 steps, but under the strong wind, the arrows tonight can only shoot less than [-] steps, and the lethality is even more mediocre.

As for the Jiangdong army, with the help of the southeast wind, their arrows could even fly a dozen steps more. On such a battlefield, it often takes tens of thousands of lives to pile up just this distance.

"Bowmen, release arrows,,,,,,"

Seeing that the distance was right, Jiang Qin who was behind immediately ordered the three thousand crossbowmen in the army to shoot. Although the distance was relatively far, but fortunately with the assistance of the southeast wind, the arrows of the Jiangdong Army flew out quickly.

In front, the eight thousand Jingzhou army archers with weaker defenses were soon disturbed, and could no longer shoot dense arrows. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Tai moved forward twenty steps in one breath.

"Quick, shoot, shoot, keep stopping, hurry up,,,,,,,"

Seeing that Zhou Tai still lacked a chance to make a move, Jiang Qin himself picked up his bow and arrow and shot. Suddenly, the attack of the crossbowmen of the Jingzhou Army was stopped.

"It's now, crossbowman, shoot,,,,,,"

Only 800 or [-] steps away from the enemy's forward position, the crossbowmen on Zhou Tai's side were already able to get it, and the opportunity was not lost. Zhou Tai immediately ordered, and the remaining [-] crossbowmen passed through the gap between the shields and started shooting.

"Oops, it's that kind of strange crossbow that can shoot repeatedly, General Cai, I'm afraid the enemy is going to board the ship to fight, so withdraw the archers to the rear, as staying in the front will only increase casualties."

Lu Xun has experienced all the battles in the front lines of defense, so he naturally understands how the Jiangdong Army will fight next.The crossbowmen on his side lacked defenses, and if they continued to shoot at the enemy, they would not be able to take advantage.

"Listen to you, come here, send the order to go down, the crossbowmen retreat, and the athletes of each ship, cheer me up, the fight is about to begin."

After some shooting, coupled with the shooting of Zhuge Liannu of the Jiangdong Army, the Jingzhou Army's crossbowmen also lost nearly 2000 people. Soon, Zhou Tai rushed to board the enemy's warship with his shield on his shoulders, and the close combat started again. here we go.

Ding Feng saw the opportunity, and immediately led some soldiers and horses to attack from the side with the remaining kerosene and other flammable materials. Soon, the line of defense that Cai Mao was in charge of also caught fire, and the situation became more and more tense. .

In the camp on the shore, the confrontation between Pang De and Gan Ning had already come to an end. If the two continued to fight, Gan Ning might have to stay here tonight. At the critical moment, Gan Ning remembered Zhou Yu's order, and retreated into the crowd, Create chaos while setting fire.
