Chapter 185 Fierce Battle at Shouyang Mountain
The overwhelming rain of arrows rolled out from the camp, and the Lu Bu army's shield player quickly used his shield to hold up a barrier above his head! There was a loud crackling sound, just like a heavy rain hitting lotus leaves! After several rounds of arrows, the assault troops rushed to the front, formed a defense, and began to fill the trenches with earth and stones! At the same time, the chief assembly long-range strike force behind was attacking the Yuan Shao's military camp with catapults and heavy crossbows!
Huge guns and basin-like stones were flying in the sky, making the originally bright sky dim! The guns and arrows hit the fence, and with a loud bang, a huge hole of one meter square was instantly made on the fence made of logs; the huge rocks roared down, smashing an arrow tower, and wreckage was flying all over the sky!
Xu You looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked. He had naturally seen the power of Lu Bu's field battles for a long time. However, the siege ability shown by Lu Bu's army at this moment also shocked him. He had also seen an attacking army as skilled in tactical and well-equipped as Lu Bu's army! He couldn't help but feel a little confused about the strategies he had formulated before!
Just as the main army of both sides was fighting fiercely, the 30,000 elite troops led by Zhang He had secretly approached the Yellow River.
The army temporarily hid in the woods on the bank of the Yellow River, and Zhang He sent scouts who disguised themselves as ordinary people to investigate.
Zhang He stood under the big camphor tree facing the slope of the Yellow River, staring at the opposite bank, frowned, and he felt a little worried.
A knight rushed from a distance. Zhang He probably was the scout sent just now. Although he thought so, he did not dare to be careless at all and ordered the troops to prepare for combat.
After a while, the scout disguised as a commoner flew to Zhang He, jumped off his war horse, and knelt down and said, "Caughter General, no trace of the enemy was found for more than ten miles around, and no one was seen on the other side."
Zhang He thought to himself: Maybe Xu You's plan will be successful! Then he ordered: "Look at the trees to build a floating bridge! Be sure to cross the Yellow River before sunset tonight!" "No!"
Zhang He was busy watching the trees building a floating bridge, while the other 10,000 soldiers were responsible for the vigilance around him. The work was going on intensively, and a floating bridge was quickly built! But when the brilliance of dusk spread across the earth, the floating bridge lies across the Yellow River!
In order to launch an attack before Lu Bu's army discovered it, Zhang He did not bother to let the team rest and ordered to cross the Yellow River immediately. Thirty thousand elite troops, cavalry in front, and infantry then quickly crossed the Yellow River.
Zhang He left a thousand people to guard the floating bridge, and then led the main force to quickly pounce on the Lu Bu military camp in Shouyang Mountain.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, the night sky is like washing, the Yellow River is gurgling, and there is silence on Shouyang Mountain. The lights of the Lu Bu military camp, surrounded by the mountains and rivers, dotted with lights. Apart from seeing the figures of a few sentries, there was no sound, and it was as quiet as an empty tomb.
Zhang He, who was lurking nearby, saw the scene of Lu Bu’s military camp from afar. He was glad that he ordered the troops to attack immediately.
Kill! The sudden killing sound suddenly woke up the night, and tens of thousands of Yuan Shao soldiers rushed out of the forest and rushed towards the Lu Bu military camp! The sentry was shocked and sent a signal in a hurry! Then it was too late. Thirty thousand Yuan Shao's elite soldiers knocked open the gate, and the fence rushed in like a torrent!
The soldiers rushed into the tents excitedly!
However, the screams or fighting sounds did not sound as scheduled. The soldiers who rushed into the tent ran out again, and they all said in confusion: "No one here..."
Zhang He immediately felt something was wrong and his face changed, "Not good! Get out quickly!"
As if in response to his words, countless torches appeared around him, turning the night into daylight!
Zhang He was shocked and raised his spear and yelled: "Come with me!" He urged the war horses to rush out first, and 30,000 elite soldiers hurriedly followed him and rushed towards the surrounding Lu Bu army!
"Shoot the arrow!" A sharp shout came from the darkness. In an instant, the arrows were like rain. The wind blowing from the arrows made the torches shaking, making the lights on the scene treacherous, making people even more nervous.
Under the dense rain of arrows, screams were heard, and Yuan Shaojun splattered blood and fell to the ground! The smell of blood quickly spread!
The heavily armored infantry crossed the archers and rushed into Yuan Shao's army, swinging a long sword that was more than two meters long, killing! In the shaking light shadow, blood was seen flying all over the sky! Yuan Shao's army was frightened by the killing!
Veteran Huang Zhong rode out and shot an arrow at Zhang He who was shouting!
Zhang He only felt his mount beating down suddenly, and then he was thrown off his war horse! Just as he was about to get up, countless spears pressed against all the vital points of his body! Zhang He did not dare to move, and then he was tied up by several strong soldiers who rushed up.
Huang Zhongchao Yuan Shaojun, who was still fighting, shouted: "Stop! Your generals have been captured!"
Yuan Shao's army couldn't help but stop fighting, and Lu Bu's army also pushed a little away.
"Everyone put down your weapons!"
Yuan Shaojun looked at each other and subconsciously wanted to put down his weapons.
Zhang He shouted: "Listen to me! Keep fighting for me! Don't worry about me!"
Yuan Shaojun was at a loss.
Huang Zhong snorted coldly, pointed at Zhang He with a big knife: "Get him down!" Several strong soldiers dragged Zhang He, who was struggling with immortality, down. The scene felt like several people were dragging a tiger tied up in various colors.
Huang Zhong glanced at Yuan Shao's soldiers and said coldly: "Those who put down their weapons will not be killed! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers were frightened. An officer said to another officer next to him: "The general has been arrested, what else can we do to fight? Besides, we have been surrounded. If we continue to fight, the entire army will be wiped out! It is completely meaningless!" Then he threw away the weapons in his hand. After his release, the others followed suit and threw away the weapons. Although some people were unwilling to give up, they could only follow everyone to throw away the weapons and wait for Lu Bu's army to deal with them.
Huang Zhong waved his hand and the army immediately stepped forward and escorted more than 20,000 troops who had laid down their weapons.
In the morning, the ferry gave up the heavy white fog and embellished the banks of the Yellow River like a fairyland. The morning sunlight is not dazzling at all, and it shines on the mist-covered earth, and the earth is brilliant and crystal clear everywhere.
The sentry responsible for guarding the floating bridge woke up and stretched his waist wide. Subconsciously looked at Shouyang Mountain and muttered, "I don't know what's going on with the general?"
The sentry next to him smiled and said, "It must have been solved! Lu Bu is completely unprepared!"
