Great Wei Nengchen

On the contrary, if you use tactics to attack the city, you will use your own weaknesses to counter the enemy's strengths. Not only will it be difficult to take back Lecheng, but you may also lose troops and generals!

"The Celestial Master must remember one thing. After the army breaks through Le City, they can only capture Xiao Yi alive, and don't hurt his life. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong will be buried with him. Remember! Remember!"

"Mr. Jin, please don't worry, my celestial master has already passed down an order that someone who captures Xiao Lang alive - will be promoted to be a grand sacrificial wine, rewarded with three cities, 5 taels of gold, and [-] beauties!

On the contrary, whoever dares to hurt a single hair of Xiao Yi's hair will be cut into pieces, cut into pieces by thousands of knives, and the men and women of the nine races will be wiped out! "

Li Ru and Zhang Lu knew very well that Xiao Yiquan was in power, and his confidantes were all over the world. If anyone hurt his life, it would inevitably lead to crazy revenge, which Cao Cao dared not bear, let alone a small Hanzhong Group!

Therefore, it is the best choice to capture him alive, treat each other with courtesy, and finally shake hands and make peace. If possible, Zhang Lu still plans to get married. He has a precious daughter who is worthy of Xiao Yi's son. !

"The weather is fine today, and it is a good time to use troops. Zhang is ashamed to obey orders!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead 1 horses across the river, storm Lecheng, and test the truth!"

"promise!"

Chapter 1488 The Battle of the Han River ([-])

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

……

[-] Hanzhong soldiers, divided into [-] large-scale buildings, carrying all kinds of siege equipment, came straight to the north bank of the Han River amidst the sound of rumbling war drums, preparing to launch a fierce attack on Lecheng!

Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Zhang Gui stood on top of the first building boat, preparing to lead his team to attack the city himself. heart armor!

"Listen, brothers, whoever rushes to the top of the city first will be rewarded with five hundred gold... Long!... Plop! Plop!

The Lou fleet braved the wind and waves, and it was about to reach the north bank. Zhang Gui shouted loudly, wanting to give a big reward to boost morale, but before he finished speaking, there was a sudden vibration of the hull under his feet, as if he had hit something?

Zhang Gui reacted quickly, threw the shield in his hand hastily, grabbed the flagpole at the bow of the ship, and barely stabilized his figure. The rest of the soldiers were not so lucky, and they fell twenty or thirty one after another, with endless thuds.

"There are hidden reefs in the river, it's not good, the hull of the boat is leaking, quickly block the hole!"

"Help-Gudu-gudu, I don't know how to water--"

The rest of the ships were also in trouble. Some were staggering, some were turning in circles, and a few were overturned directly. Many soldiers fell into the water, and the cries for help continued, followed by a large cloud of beeping bubbles...

Most of these soldiers preparing to attack the city are wearing heavy steel armor, carrying shields, bows and arrows, javelins, etc., and carrying at least seventy to eighty catties. In this case, it is difficult for people who can swim, let alone those who cannot The ones in the water basically sank after falling into the water, and became food for fish and turtles in the Han River.

It turned out that Xiao Yi had made arrangements long ago, and ordered people to scuttle and sink the hundreds of captured ships, filled with large and small rocks, near the north bank of the Han River, forming a circle of reef defenses in the channel that was often used before!

The water depth was also tested in advance, so the ship sank very cleverly, it happened to be about seven or eight feet underwater, and there was no problem on the surface. When a ship passed by, it would hit it head-on, and the impact was still below the waterline...

"No one is allowed to panic, jump into the water to save people, and reorganize the formation...Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, you black-hearted bastard, I am at odds with you, you are too wicked!"

Zhang Gui yelled loudly, trying to stabilize the situation, but within a short period of time, five or six building boats sank, more than ten boats were damaged, and more than 1000 soldiers fell into the water, but very few people were rescued.

I wanted to go all out and rush to the north bank of the Han River, but was stopped by the sunken ship. Not to mention the death of more than a thousand soldiers, the rhythm of the attack was also disrupted!

It was like punching hard, and it all bounced back on him. One can imagine the discomfort. The morale of the Hanzhong Army, which was originally high, dropped by more than half in an instant, and some even gave birth to the heart of stealing war!

Moreover, there is a sunken ship blocking it, and it is impossible for the remaining large ships to come to the shore. Let’s clean up the hidden reefs carefully. It will take ten days and a half months to complete the work, which will delay the opportunity of the war. Zhang Gui had no choice but to wave the flag and ask the camp support……

After a while, the south bank sent more than a hundred small boats, light in weight, shallow in draft, and very flexible in paddling, able to avoid those sunken ships and help Zhang Xu send his troops to the north bank.

However, these boats are too small, with more than ten people at most, and five or six people at least. It took nearly an hour to send eight or nine thousand Han Chinese troops ashore. on board.

"Cao's army is brutal, they seized my city, killed my people, the crimes are countless, all my sons and daughters in Hanzhong, I swear to fight to the end with blood, and keep my hometown safe and sound!

Xiao Yi's crimes are serious, he eats human flesh raw, thirsty to drink human blood, he is like a ghost in hell, we are protected by the Supreme Lord..."

After the men and horses went ashore, Zhang Hui straightened his formation and prepared for the attack; at the same time, he told the various crimes of Cao Jun and Xiao Yi, hoping to boost morale with this, and charged to the top of the wall.

But he neglected one point, describing Xiao Yi as a ghost from hell, not only failed to boost morale, but made many soldiers tremble in fright, everyone crawled backwards, no one dared to be the vanguard!

This is not surprising, the ghost face Xiao Lang is powerful in the world, and the name of the killing god is also spread all over the world. The soldiers and civilians in Hanzhong have also heard of it. The reincarnation of the star king, the son of the emperor of heaven, is in charge of killing in the world... Now that we meet on the battlefield, how many people are there? Not afraid?

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Kill!--kill!"

…………

Whether you are afraid or timid, since you are on the battlefield, you can only advance and never retreat. Amid the rumbling drums, the Hanzhong Army formed a group of more than a dozen people, carrying a long ladder, shouting and charging...

However, with the previous lessons learned, Zhang Yu didn't dare to lead the charge anymore, but directed the archers to cover the rear while keeping a close eye on the city.

One hundred feet... Seventy feet... Fifty feet... Hanzhong soldiers rushed faster and faster, but there was no response from the top of the city, not even a single figure in sight!

Forty feet... thirty feet... "Puff! Puff... Ah, help!"

Seeing that the team was approaching the city wall and was about to set up a ladder to attack, the soldiers in the front row disappeared instantly, screaming one after another, and the attacking formation was in chaos, trampling on each other, causing countless casualties...

It turned out that under the city wall of Lecheng, Xiao Yi had built three trenches, all of which were more than two feet wide and one foot deep. The inside was filled with wooden spikes, and people who fell would die nine times and injure one. The Hanzhong Army didn't know why, and it turned out to be a big loss again!

At the same time, Cao Jun poured out from the top of the city, bowing their bows and setting up arrows, constantly shooting and killing. Wherever the rain of arrows covered, the Hanzhong Army fell in pieces. The appearance was horrible, and the rest retreated one after another...

"No one is allowed to retreat, and those who retreat will be dealt with by military law...kill me back!"

"Quickly form a tortoise shell formation, use shields to block the rain of arrows, fill up the trenches for me, and continue to attack!"

………………

Seeing that the team retreated, Zhang Hui's eyes were red. He drew his sword and chopped off several deserters. After stabilizing his position a little, he led the second echelon to continue the attack, and held up his shield to resist the rain of arrows.

The city also changed its tactics in an instant, no longer shooting with bows and arrows, but throwing down stones as big as millstones, red-hot charcoal, and boiling hot oil... These were all unstoppable by shields, and the Hanzhong army fell again A large piece, reluctantly retreated.

………………

"The generals are incompetent, the soldiers are timid, lack of training, and lack of actual combat experience. If I have 3 troops, I can turn from defense to offense, and kill Hanshui in one go-what a pity!"

Standing on the top of the wall, Xiao Yi witnessed the clumsy attack of the Hanzhong Army, and he couldn't help shaking his head contemptuously. He had been focusing on sneak attacks before, but today was a direct confrontation. He didn't want the opponent to be so bad!

The combat power displayed by the Hanzhong army, not to mention compared with the elite Cao army, is probably not as good as the local farming troops (mainly farming, supplemented by training, rarely fighting in battle, at most escorting food and grass)!

The Bashu Group in the south has been at odds with the Hanzhong Group for many years, but it has won less and lost more, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined. If it weren't for the remote location and the mountains and rivers, these two groups would have been wiped out long ago, right?

In fact, there are various reasons for the low combat effectiveness of the Hanzhong Army and the messy attack:

First of all, Hanzhong uses Taoism to educate the people, and the truth, goodness, and beauty are always in their mouths all day long. Some people don't even kill animals, or do good deeds every day.

Secondly, most of the elite troops of the Hanzhong Army are on the lines of Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, and Yangping Pass. Short, with insufficient ordnance, the combat power is naturally limited!

In the end, Zhang Lu has dominated Hanzhong for nearly 20 years, but he has never participated in the war of princes. At most, he will have friction with the Bashu Group.
