On the one hand, as the battle progressed, the advantages of the Shu Han army's ordnance became increasingly obvious, and gradually showed an overwhelming advantage. When they prevented the Shu Han army from landing, they could only brave the dense rain of arrows and stone bullets on the shield.
Under the cover, gather on the shore and use the spear or long wooden pole in your hand to block the floating bridge pushed by the Shu Han army. The shield can block arrows, but cannot block the bombardment of stone bombs, the roar of the thunder chariot, and the stone bombs break through the air
The whistling became their nightmare. I don’t know how many shields were smashed into pieces by stone bullets, and I don’t know how many people were smashed by stone bullets, and their heads were bleeding.
On the other hand, it was because of nervousness. Although King Cao Yu of Yan led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Wuwei Camp was behind them and could support them at any time, after all, they did not come to support them. They were the ones who really fought bloody battles. Although they successfully defended the turbulent water
, but he was unable to attack the Shu Han army, which had an advantage in military strength, and could only defend passively. Not only during the day, but also at night.
From the moment the war started, the Shu Han army on the west bank of Tuoshui had never really rested. Whether it was day or night, the camp was busy. It was a little better during the day, after all, you could see clearly any movement.
It was troublesome at night. I only saw the lights on the opposite side and people were coming and going, but I didn't know what they were busy with and would launch a sudden attack. The Wei army could only continue to be vigilant after a day of battle to prevent the Shu Han army from attacking at night.
.
After two days, although the casualties of the Wei army were not too great to be acceptable, their minds were about to collapse. As night fell, they looked at the torches lit up in the camp on the other side, not knowing when this torture would end.
...
Waiting makes people crazy. This is the case for soldiers fighting fiercely with the Shu Han army, and Cao Yu and Chen Tai who were on standby in the rear.
If Wei Ba does not appear, the real battle will not begin. And they have been waiting for two days, nervous for two days, and are already a little exhausted. Ma Su and Guan Feng's attacks are getting stronger and stronger, both are very real and there is no sign of any
They didn't know what the Shu Han army was thinking. Do they really want to cross the turbulent water so hard? Don't they know that even after crossing the turbulent water, they would not have enough strength to face the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Camp
Counterattack?
Neither Cao Yu nor Chen Tai believed that Wei Ba and Ma Su would be so stupid. Because of this, they felt that there was a conspiracy, but they could not guess it at the moment. What made them even more nervous was that if they put themselves in their shoes, they would like to do so.
When they thought about it, they couldn't think of any hope of victory in the Shu Han army.
Five thousand squadrons and cavalry are on standby at any time, people do not remove their armor, horses do not untied their saddles, and they are ready to set off at any time for two days and two nights, which also makes them a little tired. However, these people are all real elites, and this little fatigue is not enough to attack.
Defeat them.
Two more days later, the situation still did not change. Ma Su and Guan Feng were still attacking continuously. The Wei army blocked the river, and under the strong attack of the Shu Han army, the casualties became increasingly serious.
Cao Yu began to feel uneasy. He invited Chen Tai to the tent and asked straight to the point: "Xuan Bo, according to you, where is Wei Ba?"
Chen Tai's face was also a little blue. He has been too tired these days because the burden on his shoulders is very heavy.
Not only Cao Yu relied on him, but the emperor also trusted him, otherwise he would not have been transferred from Cao Zhen to the Nanyang battlefield and undertake such an important task with Cao Yu. He also hopes to take this opportunity to become famous in one battle.
Under Cao Zhen's command, he had already demonstrated his military talent. Unfortunately, due to the strength of both sides, the Wei army has not been able to break through Tongguan, and he cannot receive commendation. This time he was transferred to the Nanyang battlefield. If he could make great achievements, the emperor would definitely regain.
Reward him.
This is not only because he is talented, but also related to the struggles in the court. His father Chen Qun and Sima Yi are both representatives of the aristocratic families, but they also represent different aristocratic families. Chen Qun represents the deep-rooted roots in the Cao Wei court, but he has said that
Seeing the declining Ruying family, Sima Yi represents a slightly inferior in strength, but saying that the powerful Henoi and Hebei families have common interests and differences. When the emperor cannot completely suppress the rise of the power of the aristocratic family, he can only
We are balancing power and skills, hoping to re-establish the Ruying family to check and balance the Henoi and Hebei families.
For the Chen family, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
For this reason, this battle is no less important to Chen Tai's surname than Cao Yu, and Chen Tai also underwent more important pressure than Cao Yu.
"No matter where he is, he is just in this area." Chen Tai pinched his eyebrows, which were sore and swollen, and said tiredly: "We have investigated within fifty miles, but no trace of Wei Ba is found.
, He either hid in the deep mountains or was still west of the turbulent waters. It is said that he only had three thousand personal guards and wanted to hide in the 30,000 army camps, so that we would not find it. This was too easy."
Cao Yu thought for a moment: "Will he go to Wancheng?"
"Go to Wancheng?" Chen Tai couldn't help laughing, then put away his smile and shook his head with a serious look: "Impossible, don't say that he only has three or five thousand people, even if the Shu Han army here goes to Wancheng
, And how about you get Wancheng?"
Cao Yu also smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that his idea was too stupid. Wei Ba's troops were too few, so it was useless for him to go to Wancheng. Wancheng is now on high alert and will not leave him any chance of sneak attacks. And
Once he entered the heart of Nanyang, his newly established cavalry and infantry could not escape the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
As long as Wei Ba was not crazy, he would definitely not go to Wancheng, so he would definitely be nearby. As Chen Tai said, he would either be west of the Tuo River, pretending to be mysterious and making them nervous, or hide in the mountains in the north and wait for the opportunity.
No matter what it is, there seems to be no chance to win, which makes his concealment more likely to escape helplessly.
Cao Yu scratched his head, and was a little helpless. When will this tormented day end?
...
"Today is the fourth day." Wei Ba was energetic and said to Wei Wu and others with great energy: "I believe that both Cao Yu and ordinary Wei soldiers are already a little tired. Now, it is our attack.
Good opportunity.”
"Okay." Wei Wu was the first to shout, "I've been waiting for the attack for a long time. If I wait any longer, I'm going crazy."
Wei Ba glanced at him and did not blame him for his rare reason. The war was about to begin, and facing an opponent like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Wei Wu's fearless mentality is almost idiotic.
"From now on, everyone is ready to attack." Wei Ba pointed hard on the map, knocking the map for a loud bang. "We are twenty miles away from the Wei army's position. The road has been explored, Yue
The color is just right, you can march quickly. After about half an hour, we can reach the position and launch an attack. However, the Wei army's scouts were not far from us and would soon find us and report to Cao Yu, so the attack left to us was left to us
Time is very limited, no more than half an hour or even only one moment. We must defeat the Wei army on the east bank of Tuoshui in this short time, and establish a defensive formation. Time is very urgent, everyone must be quick.
The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again. Whether this assault can be successful is directly related to the outcome of the decisive battle between us and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Don’t be careless.”
"Here!" the generals replied with a loud bang.
"Okay, get ready to go."
...
Two hours later, Wei Ba led 5,000 infantry and cavalry out of Shijian Mountain. Without turrets, he took advantage of the cold moonlight and rushed to the Wei army camp twenty miles away. Wei Wu led 1,000 Wei family Wu soldiers.
Walking in the front. They were fully armed, but did not bring a grain of food. As soon as they set off, they advanced at full speed and shot an arrow into the darkness.
Wei Ba led two thousand personal guards to follow closely. Although these barbarian personal guards are also elite, they are slightly better than the Wei family martial soldiers who have received strict training since childhood. Moreover, they are basically southerners, and they are concerned about the cold climate here.
I was not very adaptable. Although Wei Ba made a lot of preparations, there were still people who were frostbite and were cold. There were countless people who were dragging their noses, and their condition was far inferior to that of the Wushu.
Tang Qianyu led two thousand knights to the southeast and rushed to the southeast. He sent a lot of cavalry to patrol the flanks and sent people to chase and kill the Wei army's scouts. Although it was impossible to kill them all, killing one more could delay Cao Yu's receipt.
The time for news, and what they lack the most now is time, even a quarter of an hour, may affect the situation of the war.
...
The turbulent waters are brightly lit on both sides.
The two armies are fighting fiercely.
Guan Feng, who had been attacking for four days, finally began the night battle. The Shu Han army lit countless torches, illuminating the turbulent waters on both sides. Thunderbolt chariots and crossbow chariots continued to shoot, making the Wei army on the east coast miserable.
Yan. Under the cover of the rain of arrows and stone bombs, the soldiers of the baggage battalion shouted neatly and pushed the floating bridges into the turbulent water.
This time, whether it was the thunderbolt chariot, the crossbow, or the pontoon bridge, the number had increased significantly. On the battlefield that was as wide as 500 steps, twenty pontoon bridges were pushed into the water at the same time, which made the Wei army, with insufficient troops, bear it.
With great pressure, they had to go all out and fight with all their might.
Of course, launching such a large-scale attack is also Guan Feng's limit. Otherwise, she would not mind pushing twenty more pontoon bridges into the water, making the Wei army lose sight of one thing and have no way to deal with it.
The two sides attacked each other through the turbulent water. The shouts of killing broke the tranquility of the night. Even the turbulent water was frightened and flowed. One by one, the injured soldiers fell into the water, stirring up waves of water, and screams came one after another, endlessly.
Just as the Wei army was fully responding to Guan Feng's attack, the scout came to report that an enemy from the north quickly approached, with about a thousand people.
The generals of the Wei army were not surprised but happy. Although all the soldiers under his command had fought, he still had hundreds of personal guards around him, and he had a camp to rely on it, so it was no problem to stick to it for half an hour. With this half an hour, Cao Yu would
He can lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Camp to arrive, defeat the invading enemies in one fell swoop, and end the battle cleanly.
Therefore, when he heard this news, he was not nervous at all, but instead felt relieved and relieved.
