Chapter five hundred and sixtieth IX Taking advantage of the momentum to assault
Thousands of soldiers of the Leopard Army were pushing forward, shouting step by step, as if a mountain was moving forward. In fact, they were forcing people, trembling and shaking, and dust rose up! Thousands of Tiger Army formed a circular formation, and these warriors holding beast-faced, swallowing shields and ring-headed swords were tightly adjacent to each other, forming a wall with shields, calm as abyss, waiting tightly.
The Leopard Army rumbled heavily on the round formation of the Tiger Army like a train. After a violent collision sound that made people numb and numb, the battle formations of both sides dispersed, and the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely! It seemed like nearly 10,000 tigers were desperately waving their minions in the wilderness to fight bloody battles. The ears were full of tiger roars, which made people frightened and trembled. The blood flying all over the sky dyed the sky and the earth into blood. The soldiers on both sides were all Chinese warriors, fighting bravely, not giving in to each other, killing the sky and the earth, and the sun and the moon were gone!
Xu Huang waved his battle axe and found Xu Chu, and Xu Chu also waved his axe to find Xu Huang. The two kings of beasts collided with each other among thousands of troops. A pair of battle axes collided with loud bangs. The two generals fought fiercely in the dust of the sky, making it difficult to separate, as if two monsters were competing!
Just as the elite troops on both sides were fighting fiercely, the 60,000 infantry of the Baotao Army crossed the Huai River one after another, and crossed the Huai River like two big claws of Cancer on the left and right, surrounding the Hu Ben Army.
Xu Chu and Xu Huang fought fiercely. After thirty rounds, they saw that they had already gained the upper hand, but they saw large enemy troops coming. Xu Chu did not dare to fight, so he could only give up Xu Huang and lead the army to retreat. Xu Huang was in power and refused to forgive him. He led the army to chase him relentlessly. Both sides chased and fought eastward on the wilderness. Some people kept falling on the wilderness, and blood was stained red.
At the same time, a team of ten thousand people was building a floating bridge on the Huaihe River. There was also a 5,000-man infantry riding a bamboo raft on the river surface of more than ten miles downstream to hit the river and pulling iron ropes on the river surface. They were busy and busy. The shore was erecting camps, and heavy equipment such as catapult lathes and crossbows were entering.
...
Zhang Lang, who was having fun with his wives and concubines, suddenly heard that Zhuge Liang had an emergency military situation, so he hurried to the front. He took the letter from the messenger and read it quickly, with a look of surprise on his face. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to call Huang Yueying and show Zhuge Liang's letter to her. After Huang Yueying read it, he said excitedly: "Great! Mr. Kong Ming is really worthy of being the eldest brother's right-hand man. He seized this opportunity to seize the Cao army water camp in one fell swoop, and also captured a large number of Cao army naval and warships!"
Zhang Lang said: "The 100,000 soldiers of the Baotao Guard and the 80,000 soldiers of the War Bear Army have crossed the Huai River and surrounded Huainan City. Now there are 100,000 Cao troops and 100,000 civilian troops gathered in Huainan City! These 180,000 soldiers are eager to capture them!"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not the case that my brother is worried about, but the enemy's naval army!"
Zhang Lang sighed: "Sister Yueying is really my confidante, you know what I think." Huang Yueying had a slightly red face.
Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to the Huai River. "Although Kong Ming was closely guarding the Huai River, I was still worried! Cao's navy is too strong after all! If the other party breaks through the river, the situation will be bad!" Huang Yueying frowned and nodded, and said to Zhang Lang: "Mr. Kong Ming must have encountered this too, and he will be careful!" Zhang Lang touched his chin and thought, "If he can seize Huainan in one fell swoop, then everything will be no problem." He said to Huang Yueying: "I will leave all the matters in Luoyang to you." Huang Yueying immediately realized Zhang Lang's intention, "Brother is going to the front line?" Zhang Lang nodded.
Xu Chu and his men retreated eastward and retreated into Huainan. Soon after, the 170,000 army led by Xu Huang and Zang Ba arrived at the city of Huainan. They did not start the attack immediately, but were waiting for various siege equipment to come up behind.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang pulled out 10,000 infantry from Zang Ba's war bell army and built a camp on the south bank of the Huai River, echoing the camp on the north bank, and blocking the river surface with iron chains and wooden piles on the water.
The south bank camp had just been completed, and the troops were moved in and the equipment was in place. Zhang He led tens of thousands of navy troops to rush from the river. Hundreds of buildings and ships covered the sun and the river. The war began.
Zhang He ordered some warships to suppress the enemy camps on both sides, and at the same time sent another fleet to cut off the iron cable and pull out the wooden stakes.
The tower ship gradually sailed to the shore, and countless stones suddenly flew out of the camp on the shore. The Cao army soldiers were shocked. The stone fell into the river like raindrops, causing countless water splashes. The originally calm general boiled in an instant. Many stones hit the tower ship, and with the crackling sound, the mast fell, the ship wall was smashed out of a big hole, the deck collapsed, and the unlucky sergeant was directly hit by the flying stones, and immediately the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The two fleets that tried to suppress Lu Bu's military camp were suddenly dizzy by the powerful firepower on the shore and retreated in a hurry. Then the firepower on both sides of the strait gathered on the fleet that tried to destroy the iron chain stakes. The river was rolling, and the warships of all sizes were tilted and dizzy in the waves. The sailors fell into the river one by one, and the big ships were smashed and the wood chips flew. The fleet could not hold on anymore and retreated in a hurry.
Zhang He looked at the Lu Bu military camp on the south bank, then at the camp on the north bank, and then at the dozens of very stiff iron chains on the river and the dense wooden stakes that were faintly visible on the water surface. He couldn't help but frown and ordered the army to temporarily retreat to the east bank.
Cao Pi was sleeping in his arms with two beautiful concubines. He didn't know the passing of the incident in the gentle village, and it was already midnight before he knew it.
Bang bang bang... The loud noise of smashing the door suddenly came. Cao Pi, who was in high spirits, was startled, and the two charming concubines were both disgraceful.
Cao Pi turned his head and shouted at the door, "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
The door was smashed outside, and then the guard's anxious voice came: "Lord, Huainan emergency military information!"
Cao Pi frowned and said, "I understand." Then he took a handful of the breasts of the two concubines and laughed, "Wait for me to come back." The two girls smiled foolishly.
Cao Pi put on his shirt and robe and left the room. When the guards guarding the door saw Cao Pi, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Huainan urgent military situation!"
Cao Pi frowned, "Where is the person?"
“Waiting in the front hall.”
Cao Pi walked towards the hall quickly.
In the hall, Cao Pi looked at the military information report he had just sent, and his face changed drastically, "Will this be like this?" After being at a loss for a while, he immediately ordered the guards to summon Sima Yi and Xu You to come over to discuss matters immediately.
