Next to the turbulent water, arrows are like rain, and stone bombs are like locusts...
The Shu Han army built a cover position on the west bank of Tuoshui. Dozens of thunderbolt chariots and hundreds of crossbow chariots were fired together. The arrows broke through the air and made a harsh roar. They crossed the river surface fifty or sixty steps wide and rushed towards the opposite side. The Wei army's position. Three rows of crossbows were fired one by one, one round of shooting. The winding hands quickly shook the wooden wheel. With the squeaking sound, dozens of bowstrings were pulled one by one and re-tucked on the crossbow machine. The archer quickly pulled out the empty arrow box and accurately pushed it into the arrow box full of arrows. Then he lowered his head and kept waving his hand, loading a sharp arrow into the arrow groove, waiting for the next shot. .
The thunder chariot roared, and the long stern arms were like strong arms, throwing stone bullets into the sky, and with an ominous cry, hit the Wei army on the other side. As soon as the stone bullet flew out, the stern arms bounced back. After returning, the gunners had already stepped forward, grabbed the tip arm with all the might, and used force in unison to fix the tip arm again. The bullet rolled down the wooden trough and entered the net. basket.
Everything was so orderly. Except for the shooter, no one even looked up at the Wei army's position opposite. They just fired sharp arrows and stone bullets according to the command to destroy the enemy's position and will.
The Wei army was not willing to be outdone and launched a fierce counterattack.
Arrows flew across the river and shot into the Wei army's position, shot on the crossbow chariot, shot on the thunder chariot, shot on the Wei army soldiers. Stone bullets roared, and wherever they went, they made a loud noise and were hit. The crossbow chariot was split into pieces, and the Thunder chariot was violently killed, while the soldiers hit the slam had their heads broken, their arms were broken, and they even died.
Screams came one after another, and from time to time, some people fell to the ground when they were injured, some screamed loudly, and some stopped breathing, and only blood flowed.
Ma Su took the initiative to attack from the beginning and launched an attack on the west bank of the turbulent waters on the north and south sides of Li County.
Li County itself is not tall and there are not many defenders. If it is just Li County, it is not a big threat. The threat is the three floating bridges on the turbulent water behind Li County and the Wei army positions on the other side. Li County has only one at most There were two thousand defenders, but there were nearly five thousand people on the other side. If Ma Su attacked Li County, those people could continue to support Li County through the floating bridge, relying on the city walls of Li County and fighting for consumption with Ma Su.
No matter how tall the city walls of Li County are, the offense and defense are still unequal. Even if Ma Su relies on the advantage of military equipment to reduce the casualties, the price he pays will be very shocking. After defeating Li County, he probably has no strength to continue moving forward.
The Wei army's intention was very obvious, which was to rely on the walls and turbulent water of Li County to consume Ma Su's strength to achieve the purpose of blocking Ma Su's progress.
It was not easy for Ma Su to attack Tuo River first. The Wei army built three floating bridges on Tuo River. The middle was the lifeline of Li County, while the north and south were the protective positions. Neither of these two positions were built intact and there was still a distance from the west coast. A distance of about ten steps, you can enter and exit the pontoon bridge smoothly from the east bank, but you cannot easily climb the pontoon bridge on the west bank. In this way, it is greatly difficult to seize the pontoon bridge, and the Wei army on the pontoon bridge can firmly defend the position and defend the lifeline of Li County. .
However, between siege and seized the positions on the other side first, Ma Su chose to cross the water first. Of course, he did not directly attack the floating bridge behind Li County, but chose to open positions on both sides of the floating bridge of the Wei army, forcing the Wei army to force the Wei army to The blocking position was re-established at the location he selected, and the three pontoon bridges, which were well prepared, could not function.
Fighting on the position you choose is the privilege of the attacking side. Taking advantage of their military strength, opening up two positions at the same time, maintaining pressure on Li County, and forcing the Wei army to divide the troops. This is also Ma Su's advantage in controlling his own strength.
Play to the extreme tactics.
At the beginning of the battle, the Shu Han army showed a strong advantage in ordnance.
Ma Su came down from Shangluo and walked down the river. He had already brought a lot of large-scale weapons with warships to seize the way to Wuguan and obtained a lot of weapons from the Wei army. Now he was very rich. After arriving in Li County, Wei Ba went north.
Shijianshan was looking for opportunities, but he was not idle and made sufficient preparations. Therefore, as soon as the war started, the Shu Han army completely suppressed the Wei army. The dense rain of arrows and stone bombs made the Wei army unable to raise its head.
Regardless of quantity, speed, range or accuracy, the Shu Han army had the upper hand. After nearly an hour of shooting at each other, the Wei army's position was in a mess, with smashed thunderbolt chariots and crossbow chariots everywhere, and were beaten everywhere.
The injured and killed people, wailing sounds one after another, and blood moistened the land and even flowed into the turbulent water.
In contrast, although the Shu Han army also suffered losses, it was much smaller than the Wei army and its morale was very high.
The Wei army was forced to retreat and had to retreat its position to relieve the pressure. If they attacked the Shu Han army like this, it would probably take a day to go without any available weapons.
Seeing the Wei army retreating and the morale of the Shu Han army was greatly boosted, Wei Feng and Deng Zhi ordered the soldiers of the baggage battalion who built a floating bridge to prepare for attack.
With the neat sound of trumpets, a piece of wooden bridge was pushed out from a distance. With the sporadic counterattack of the Wei army, the soldiers of the baggage battalion pushed the wooden bridge to the shore and pushed the turbulent water down. Then, another piece of wooden bridge was scattered.
Push it over, connect it with the front section, and push it forward.
As the soldiers of the baggage camp were busy, the wooden bridge quickly grew and pushed towards the opposite shore under the guidance of the rope.
The Wei army was stunned by the technique of building bridges by the Shu Han army.
Under normal circumstances, setting up a floating bridge is a dangerous thing, especially when someone blocks the other side. The soldiers and craftsmen who build the bridge will first lay down wooden stakes in the shallow water of the river and lay them on
Wooden boards sometimes even have to swim across the river and do their work under the enemy's nose. Even if there is already a cover, these people will suffer great casualties.
However, the Shu Han army pushed the floating bridge built in sections directly into the water, and there was no need for people to go into the water to hit wooden stakes. This not only saved time, but also reduced casualties to a minimum. In this situation, it would not take long for the Shu Han army to go.
It can build a floating bridge, and then a large number of soldiers will step on these floating bridges and kill to the opposite shore.
The pressure of the Wei army suddenly increased, and they had to dispatch their entire army to establish positions where the Shu Han army crossed the waters and blocked the Shu Han soldiers who came ashore. No matter how strong the Shu Han army's ordnance was, it was impossible to transport heavy equipment like the Pili chariot.
When they reach the other side, and once the two sides fight together, the power of these weapons will be greatly reduced. This is the last chance for the Wei army to block the attack. If they cannot defend this position, the floating bridge will not be able to defend it.
Seeing the Wei army on the opposite side dispatching troops, the position became thicker and thicker, both Deng Zhi and Wei Feng were scratching their heads. The powerful weapons had a certain advantage, but they could not completely decide the outcome. They would eventually use it.
The sword in your hand will win, and this will be a tragic battle.
When building the floating bridge, Wei Feng sent the news to Ma Su. The floating bridge was about to be built. Should we launch an attack on crossing the river immediately?
Ma Su replied, keep the pressure and do not attack in full swing for the time being.
While Wei Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he became a little worried. He knew that Ma Su was trying to do this, and was waiting for Wei Ba's attack to begin. Their current attacks were all to attract the attention of the Wei army and create opportunities for Wei Ba.
They could avoid major casualties, but they put Wei Ba in more dangers.
...
Shijian Mountain, in a small cave, several torches were lit, and shaking figures were projected onto the cave arms, which looked a bit terrifying.
Wei Ba held one hand behind him, gently pinched his eyebrows with the other hand, and paced back and forth in the cave. Wei Wu, Tang Qianyu and others sat aside, Ding Feng stood with a knife and against the wall of the cave, several lieutenants,
The captain sat in scattered places, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Wei Ba has been thinking this for half an hour.
In the evening, I received a message from Ma Su and learned that the Tuoshui offensive was progressing smoothly. The Wei army had transferred most of its main forces to the shore and prepared to block Wei Feng and Deng Zhi's crossing the river attack. Now is the best time for Wei Ba to attack.
Set out at this moment, arrive in Li County at dawn, and you can attack the Wei army tomorrow morning and win a complete victory. The plains are the main here, and even if you march at night, there will be no danger. If you can see it for safety or physical strength, you will also be able tonight.
You can get halfway.
The relevant plan has been discussed, but Wei Ba has not made a decision for a long time, which has puzzled Wei Wu and others.
However, no one dared to ask, for fear of interrupting Wei Ba's thinking. Wei Ba encouraged everyone to express his opinions, but it did not mean that he had no prestige. On the contrary, his previous brilliant achievements made him have enough majesty even if he didn't speak, so that others could be more proud.
Shut up.
At this moment, the power that was revealed in silence made Wei Wu both envious and a little nervous.
This is a kind of power exuding from confidence.
Time passed slowly with Wei Ba's monotonous footsteps.
I don't know how long it took, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. Dunwu walked in panting, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and a piece of cloth wrapped around his left arm, which was covered with dark blood. Wei Wuhe
Tang Qianyu looked at each other and stood up involuntarily. Dunwu hadn't shown up for two days. He suddenly came back and looked like this again. Something must have happened.
"Young Master, I met the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." Dunwu took out a piece of leather armor the size of a palm from his arms and handed it to Wei Ba.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?" Wei Ba took it and looked at it, raised his eyebrows, threw it on the table, reached out and took a wooden bowl, poured Dunwu a bowl of hot water: "Don't worry, drink a little water first
, breathe a sigh of relief."
Dunwu took a few sips of water, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with lingering fear: "I found traces of cavalry in the east of Li County, and followed me. I found a hidden military camp in Liudaoyan without military flags.
There is no sign. I wanted to sneak around to check it out, but I was entangled by two dark tung. These two dark tung were very thrilling. I hadn't reacted yet. Later, two knights chased me and were killed by me.
, I saw the military emblem of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry from them, and then I remembered that the two Anchun should be the tiger soldiers of the Wuwei Camp."
"Wuweiying?" Tang Qianyu, who was looking at the military emblem of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, couldn't help but breathe a breath: "Cao Rui came here in person?"
