In this grand battle of the Central Plains, this battle across the river cannot even be considered an episode. It can only be said to be a small step in countless battles. Its tragedy is also not comparable to what Wang Yu has experienced.
He watched those bloody scenes with full concentration, as if what was going on was a battle with the main force of Cao's army.
The scene before us is not suitable to be described as tragic. Fighting with faith and fighting to promote the glory of the Han Dynasty, even if there are sacrifices, it cannot be called tragic.
Wang Yu would not lament unnecessarily. People are bound to die. To use the famous saying of a general he liked very much in later generations: A real warrior should die with the last bullet in the last battle of the war.
above.
I started this war in the Central Plains not out of ambition, but in order to stop the Chinese people from killing each other and use all their strength for foreign development! The warriors who sacrificed their lives in this war will truly be rewarded for generations to come.
He is revered, listed in the history of painting, and his bones are buried in the Martyrs' Shrine. Why is it sad?
If he hadn't been in his current position, Wang Yu would have wanted to replace Tai Shici and dance to the west bank by himself.
Cao Cao was Cao Cao. He was strategically sophisticated and used all available forces to their full potential. He was not like himself, who more or less missed some opportunities to join forces due to some foresight and persistence. Although he lacked
Many generals including Yu Jin, Xu Huang, etc. also relied on their own efforts to train an elite army.
With this person as my opponent, my hard planning over the past few years is not in vain.
"Quiet Ziyi rushed up. The camps along the river shouldn't be able to hold out for long, right? Look, the arrows fired in the camp have started to mess up!" In the cross-river battle, the cavalry was of no use, so Lu Qiling could only follow
Watching the battle next to Wang Yu, her thoughts were of course not as complicated as Wang Yu's, but her eagerness to give it a try and the desire to sacrifice herself were the same.
Of course it will be messy.
Both sides did not use all their main forces, but the troops at Hulao Pass were dispersed among dozens of forts inside and in front of the pass. The troops were quite scattered. There were far fewer archers than Qingzhou on the east coast. Even without the crossbow factor,
He was also at a disadvantage. When Taishi Ci came to attack fiercely, hundreds of tigers and wolves followed closely behind him, and the pressure on Cao's soldiers in the camp naturally doubled.
It stands to reason that after crossing the river, the attacking troops should have regrouped on the shore and launched an orderly attack, but Taishi Ci did not take that time, and just leaped over in the most ferocious way, roaring towards the camp wall.
It is difficult to make precise command with this kind of attack method, and it is easy to be weak in the follow-up after encountering obstacles. But the question is, who can stop a fierce man like Tai Shi Ci?
The distance of fifty steps was just a matter of a few leaps for Tai Shici, who was known for his speed. The heavy armor he wore seemed to be non-existent, and he reached the base of the camp wall in just a few breaths.
During the rush, he still had time to observe the situation of the village wall, and chose a weak link to rush over. When he got close, he combined his spear and halberd to hit the wall directly, and forcefully smashed several bowls.
The thick wooden pile was smashed into flying debris. Before the defenders could recover, the spear and halberd in his hand turned into a whirlwind and was directly swept into the camp, setting off a bloody storm.
Although war is a contest of collective strength, it is also the best stage for heroes to shine.
In an array battle, no matter whether the overlord is reincarnated or Nobu is reincarnated, they will not be able to defeat ten thousand enemies. However, in such a tough battle, the role of a fierce general is indeed better than that of an army of ten thousand people.
Taishi Ci could jump from the unfinished pontoon bridge to the other side, and then he would be like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. If an army of ten thousand people wanted to cross the pontoon bridge, how could it be so easy to launch an offensive?
Cao's army behind the camp wall had already set up a defensive formation. The spearmen who came forward were ready to rely on the camp wall and cooperate with the archers to kill the Qingzhou army attacking the camp. However, they were not prepared for Tai Shici's fierceness, and he was instantly defeated. When you are so disturbed, how can you care about anything else?
Taishi Ci's personal guards followed the general's attack route and rushed forward. The camp that was invaded soon became completely silent.
After Taishi Ci rushed up, Guan Ping took over the important responsibility of command and quickly mobilized auxiliary troops to replace them. The progress of the floating bridge was greatly accelerated. Just when Taishi Ci abandoned the first camp that had lost its ability to block, he attacked the second camp. At the second time, the three pontoon bridges were also erected amidst cheers.
"These camps seem difficult to break, but are they actually very simple?" Lu Qiling turned to look at Wang Yu, with a look of expectation in her bright eyes under the helmet. Wang Yu knew in his heart that the savage girl had changed her direction and asked for a fight. Woolen cloth.
"It won't be that simple. Xiahou Dun should have known a long time ago that the Yingshui River is not enough, so he just set up a few camps on the bank of the river, hundreds of steps apart, far less dense than those under Guancheng. His purpose is not true To block our army is just to delay time..."
Wang Yu pointed to the other side and said: "Look, those archers were not killed or retreated, but followed the established retreat route and exited the camp. Presumably these archers are elites in the army, and those spearmen They were just county soldiers, so they were killed and dispersed so quickly... It seems that not only I was testing Cao's army, but Xiahou Dun was also testing our army."
Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed: "Yes, from the beginning to the end, Cao Cao did not put his hope of victory in defeating our army head-on. It would be even more difficult to force him to fight decisively."
As he spoke, the battle situation on the west bank changed again. Seeing Taishi Ci's unstoppable charge, Cao Jun in the second camp gave up resistance and withdrew directly from the back door. The other three camps along the river that were not attacked also They retreated without a fight, and before leaving they did not forget to set a fire in the empty camp.
Of course, Taishi Ci would not let go of such a good opportunity and chased after the enemy. Driving the enemy's defeated troops to attack the camp and rolling back the bead curtain was always the best way to defeat the enemy easily.
But after a while, he realized something was wrong.
The camp along the river and the rear camp are separated by nearly a thousand steps. This distance seems flat, but in fact there is another mystery. When the defeated soldiers walked out for a while, they lifted some wooden boards on the ground, revealing sections of trenches below. In addition to these Beyond the criss-crossing ditches, there were many traps. Taishi Ci stepped on one, but luckily he stopped quickly enough, otherwise he would have capsized in the ditch.
After discovering the trap, Taishi Ci stopped the guards behind him and chased him alone.
Of course, it was impossible for him to hunt down as many people or capture another camp by himself. However, his main purpose of crossing the river this time was not to conquer Hulao Pass, but to try to understand the enemy's defense layout.
While he was fighting on the west bank, Wang Yu was watching the enemy from a high place. He could clearly see the enemy's deployment and deployment, and could make a relatively accurate assessment of the difficulty of tackling key problems.
In history, Gan and Ning's cavalry formation may have had this purpose in addition to boosting morale. If he really launched the main army to attack the west bank, and finally found that the seemingly flat ground was full of thorns and it was difficult to move, then he would not be able to move forward.
Are we in a dilemma? If Cao Cao leads the main army to arrive in time, it will become a disaster.
Since it was a test, of course he had to rush as far away as possible.
Anyway, he is an expert and brave man, and he knows that if he rides alone into the formation, if Cao Jun cannot come up with a countermeasure, it will affect morale to some extent, and on the complex terrain created by such people, it is impossible to launch a large army siege. If he can
It would be great to take the opportunity to attract a certain general of Cao's army and capture him.
Taishi Ci's thoughts could not be hidden from Wang Yu, nor from Xiahou Dun, but the latter had no intention of letting Taishi Ci show off his power in front of the battle, and directly sent his most capable generals to take action.
Taishi Ci's spear and halberd were combined, but the general of Cao's army was holding a halberd with both hands. Looking at that shape, Wang Yu recognized the identity of the enemy general. If it wasn't Taishi Ci's old enemy Dian Wei, who was it?
Taishi Ci was close and could see it more clearly than Wang Yu. When he saw Dian Wei, he was overjoyed and rushed forward with a loud shout. He was hailed by the world as the most powerful general in Qingzhou and followed Wang Yu.
It can be said that he is invincible. The only opponent he failed to defeat was Dian Wei in front of him. I thought that there would never be another chance for a duel, but I never thought that I would meet him here.
Taishi Ci was excited, and Dian Wei had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
When Taishi Ci crossed the bridge to rush to camp, Dian Wei had been asking for a fight, but Xiahou Dun still refused to agree. He just watched helplessly as several camps along the river fell one after another. Dian Wei thought he had no chance.
, but he did not expect that after the two armies broke away from contact, there would be an opportunity for a duel, and he was naturally overjoyed.
The two fierce generals collided head-on, the two pairs of weapons waved like the wind, and the fierce collision sent sparks all over the sky, and a battle between dragons and tigers began.
Wang Yu didn't expect such a change, but he was happy to watch the excitement. The last time Taishi Ci fought against Dian Wei was on horseback. Although Dian Wei was strong in martial arts, his riding skills were average. In the end, Taishi Ci had the upper hand.
.At that time, Wang Yu's martial arts had not yet fully matured, and he could not tell what the two's martial arts were for a while. It was just now that he could see clearly.
"Beat the drum and cheer for Ziyi!"
In a real war, it is quite rare for generals to fight in single combat, and the chance of encountering the same opponent is so low that it can be ignored. But it has to be said that this retro-style fighting method is even more popular, and it is just out of the fierce battle.
The soldiers of the two armies who were fighting felt that their fatigue and pain had disappeared, and their emotions suddenly became high.
Wang Yu's order was quickly implemented, and the drummer seemed to be infected by the crowd's emotions, beating the war drum to a very rhythmic pace. Even those in the rear army who did not know what was happening on the front line felt that their blood was rising and they could not help but feel excited.
Self-control.
Soon, the sound of drums also sounded on the other side, and they were equally matched with the Qingzhou Army, just like the two fierce generals in the fierce battle.
Watching a wonderful duel, it is easy to forget the time. When Wang Yu heard Zhuge Liang's call and recovered from the wonderful duel, he found that it was already sunset.
Zhuge Liang looked serious and said softly: "My lord, General Zilong sent a message that the Gale Wind Army has encountered the enemy and is fighting and retreating. Please make preparations in advance." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!)
