Chapter 492? Battle(1/2)
Zhang He arrived first by the navy.
Thirty thousand navy troops and hundreds of warships headed south along the river, coming in a fierce manner. But they did not dare to take the initiative to fight the Yugu navy and just floated on the river.
And the 10,000 naval forces were also floating on the river, and the navy on both sides was tense.
On a warship, under the banner of "六", Gui Gu stood in iron armor and pressed his sword, looking at the West with a sneer.
He was brave and loyal, and was appointed by Zhang Xiu.
Before he made a merit, he led the navy for ten years. Later, he was appointed General Hengjiang and was granted the title of Marquis.
I have long been in aspiration to repay.
And the other navy has only been training for a few months!
"I want to attack and break through the opponent's naval army. Go and ask General Hua for instructions." Guan Gu said to a personal soldier beside him.
"No." The personal soldiers responded to the promise, turned around and got off a small boat, heading towards the south bank.
Hua Xiong and Hu Cheer stood on the south bank, watching the situation in the north, and of course he saw this small boat. After hearing the purpose of the personal soldiers of the sage, Hua Xiong said happily: "Let him go to fight."
At this moment, the infantry has landed and the ferry has returned. If the navy does not fight, can we avoid it?
It is precisely because they believe that the Liang army dared to cross the river. Otherwise, if Yuan and Cao troops controlled the water control rights of the Yellow River, even if they crossed the river, how could they transport food?
If you can't beat the navy that the opponent has trained for several months, then you will be called General Hengjiang. It's called General Yuzhe.
"No." Guan Gu's personal soldiers responded with a loud bang, and immediately returned to the boat and reported to Guan Gu on the boat.
After receiving the order, Guan Gu was overjoyed.
"Beat the drum. rush over!" Guan Gu waved his hand and ordered.
"Dongdongdongdongdong!!!"
"kill!!!"
On the warship, drummers suddenly tried hard to raise the drumsticks and beat the drum surface. The rumbling sound was endless, and it was in conjunction with the sound of water, singing the sound of golden swords and iron horses on the water.
The soldiers roared hard, and the archers also blew their bows and supported arrows.
The Liang army's naval army has one aspect and also has a huge advantage. The archers' armor rate is extremely high.
The most important battle between the navy is the archers. The one who is guarding against bows and arrows is of course heavy armor.
Although wearing heavy armor and falling into the Yellow River is very dangerous and there is a high chance of being done, as long as you are careful, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Zhang He's naval army had 30,000 people, and the number of warships was above the Liang army, so he did not admit defeat at the first time.
"Kill!!!" Several generals of Zhang He's navy led the army to pull out the big sword at their waists and ordered the navy to fight and kill the Liang navy.
The cabins of both sides were very strong. On the bow and cabin, there were shield soldiers and archers. Zhang He's navy went down the water, Liang's navy went upstream, and both sides quickly approached.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!"
The archers shot out the arrows in their hands one after another.
"ah!"
"Puff."
The screams of Zhang He's navy were heard endlessly. The Liang navy was killed and injured by arrows, and the armor rate was high.
The warships on both sides quickly approached after several rounds of arrows.
"Stand firmly. It's about to crash." Yu Gu, who was standing at the bow of the ship, shouted, then turned around and grabbed the side of the ship.
The Liang army had rich experience and followed suit.
With a "boom", countless warships on both sides collided with each other in a loud bang. For a moment, the sound of water was rushing. Countless Zhang He naval troops and a few Liang naval troops fell into the water, and some warships even capsized directly.
The water situation in this area was relatively flat, and the Liang army was strong. Even if they were wearing heavy armor, they were not finished for a while and they struggled hard. On the warship, there were companions who helped to catch people.
"To make achievements, it's today." Guan Gu took the lead, jumped up from his ship, jumped into the opponent's warship, unscathed the sword from his waist, chopped down one of Zhang He's naval troops with one sword, and then turned around and stabbed another Zhang He's naval troops who wanted to attack.
"Kill!!!" Liang soldiers followed closely behind and jumped on the other side's boats to engage in a battle against the platoon.
Not only did Zhang He's navy lose his armor, but he was also defeated.
A large number of Zhang He naval troops were killed or fell into the water, and they were in a mess for a while.
"Go away, go away!!!"
"Retreat troops, withdraw troops."
Seeing this, several generals led by Zhang He's navy looked ugly and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops. The soldiers responsible for the oars shook their strength and retreated in a hurry.
Despite this, Zhang He's navy still left many warships and soldiers.
"Hahahaha." Guan Gu ordered the pursuit for a while, then withdrew his troops and stood at the bow of the ship and laughed endlessly.
Although the boat was not the head of the northerners, I didn't dare to brag if I asked me to go to the south to compete with the Jingzhou naval army.
But if you Yuan Shao's navy soldiers want to beat me, they have to train for another two years.
On the shore, Hua Xiong and Hu Cheer saw it very clearly.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The cavalry soldiers also howled, echoing the victory of the navy.
"Good job." Hua Xiong put his hands on his hips, laughed for a while, turned his head to the personal soldiers and said, "Go and send the [Du Kang Wine] I have treasured for many years to General Wu."
"No." The personal soldiers agreed and went down to do it.
............
On land, Zhang He personally led 50,000 elite troops and rushed to the Liang army camp in the north bank.
Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang He was wearing iron armor and wearing a green cloak. He held a large gun and sat on the Youzhou horse, majestic.
"Report to the general, the navy and the Liang army fought and were defeated for a while." The provocateur galloped from the front and reported to Zhang He.
Zhang He's face did not change at all, and he ordered his personal soldiers beside him: "Go and notify the generals of the navy and set up a water camp on the shore. Don't fight with the Liang navy."
"No." The personal soldiers agreed and went down immediately.
"Sorry the soldiers to speed up." Zhang He immediately issued another order and drove his war horse forward.
Zhang He himself knows what kind of virtues of the navy army is. It doesn’t matter if the navy exists. The meaning of the existence of the navy is that I have a navy army, but I am not without a navy army.
In this way, the Liang army's troops and food will be under great pressure to cross the river.
In the long run, the navy will first be docked on the shore, and the navy soldiers will practice from time to time. Sooner or later, 30,000 navy troops will be able to surpass 10,000 navy troops.
And the key is that the Liang army's infantry has now crossed the river. They gathered all their forces to attack the Liang army's infantry camp.
If you get bored in one go, you will win too.
Not long after, Zhang He's army rushed to the front of the Liang army's north bank camp. He did not attack, but watched the situation of the Liang army camp.
Not only did he have outstanding martial arts skills, he was extremely powerful in marching and fighting, but he was also good at setting up camps and camps based on the terrain.
The terrain of the north shore is a large piece of flat land, surrounded by three sides, which can trap the Liang army to death on the north shore.
"Come. We set up camps to the west of the Liang army and connect with the navy camp." Zhang He ordered.
"promise."
A personal soldier agreed and immediately went down to pass the order.
After the rest of the troops took action, Zhang He personally led the most elite 10,000 elite troops in the headquarters to line up in front to protect the soldiers responsible for the camp.
The flags of the character "Zhang" are arranged in front of them, flying in the wind. Zhang He himself stood under the flag with a gun and led the way.
Zhang He looked ahead from time to time and watched the movement. Soon after, his eyes narrowed, and the two military camps opened and several cavalry came out of them.
A cavalry was holding a flag with a "horse".
A general was wearing iron armor and holding a silver spear, and straddled a pure black war horse.
"I am Ma Chao, a member of Liangzhou. Can Zhang He dare to fight me to the death?" Several cavalry stopped before they walked farther. The general rushed further before stopping and shouting.
Zhang He's generals and officers were all ready to move. But Zhang He stopped them and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him."
"Uh!!" The generals and officers were all stunned and looked at Zhang He in confusion.
Zhang He shook his head and explained, "I have heard for a long time that Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, is brave and good at fighting. You go out and you just die. I may not lose, but what if Ma loses his hooves? The lord ordered me to command a 100,000 army. Once I die, the army will be immediately captured. On the contrary, what's the use of killing Ma Chao? Many of the other parties are Xiliang's generals, and they can still defend the Liang army camp."
The generals and officers were a little dissatisfied, but Zhang He had always had a high prestige, so they suppressed it.
Ma Chao stood in the center position, waiting left and right before Zhang He came out, unable to help but calm down. He called out several times and insulted Zhang He.
In the end, Ma Chao had no choice but to ride the horse and return to the Liang army camp.
At the camp gate.
Hu Zhen stood with iron armor and pressed his sword. His eyes were staring at the other party's military formation, thinking in his heart.
"Zhang He is indeed well-known and his army is neat, but he does not compete for fame and fortune. If Yan Liang and Wen Chou were here, he would probably have been killed long ago."
"No wonder Your Majesty said that all the generals in Hebei can be captured in one battle. Only Zhang He's famous generals should not be underestimated."
Ma Chao came back dejectedly, very unwilling to accept it. He turned over and dismounted, came to the camp gate with a gun, bowed to Hu Zhen and said, "General. I ask to lead 10,000 troops from the headquarters to fight Zhang He."
