Chapter 2144: Frontal Battle
However, just when all the Wu troops were fully expecting their opponent to land soon, the opponent's huge fleet stopped more than a hundred steps away.
"What's going on? Why did the enemy troops stop?" someone asked in confusion.
Lu Meng frowned slightly and scanned the huge fleet on the water. He speculated that the opponent might want to land a small force first to ensure the safety of the landing site.
However, Lu Meng was not worried, because he had already considered this situation. He turned around and shouted to the messenger next to him: "Pass the order. All armies must not act rashly without my order!"
The herald promised and ran down.
Lu Meng's eyes returned to the middle of the opponent's fleet, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
At this moment, he saw his opponent's fleet moving again. Lu Meng's eyes lit up, thinking that his opponent was about to land.
But he soon discovered something was wrong, because the opponent's fleet had no intention of approaching the shore. Instead, all the gunboats were lined up sideways, facing the dense forests on the shore where his own troops were hidden.
Lu Meng's expression changed, and at the same time he felt unbelievable.
And just when he was at a loss, fireworks suddenly surged on the sea, and the roar of cannons flew across the sky!
The huge sound of cannons suddenly broke the tranquility of this coast, and countless cannonballs rushed towards the shore with heavy wind whistles!
Wu Jun was stunned and fell into the woods on the shore. Suddenly, the ground on the shore seemed to be stirred up!
There was a huge crash, and many Wu officers and soldiers who were ambushing in the woods were smashed to pieces by the sudden bombardment! At the same time, some forest trees could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire and broke suddenly!
Faced with this sudden bombardment, the Wu officers and soldiers felt at a loss. Such a bombardment came so suddenly and unexpectedly that all the Wu officers and soldiers had never imagined it in their dreams.
Lu Meng stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes. With his resourcefulness and the city government, he was in a state of confusion for a moment. It's no wonder, because the situation in front of him was completely different from what he expected!
What's going on?
Boom, boom...! Liu Xianjun's gunboat on the sea launched a second round of salvo. Countless shells stirred up the entire space and roared, falling into the woods, and then bursting into flames in the woods everywhere!
The huge roar shook the earth and the earth, like a terrible natural disaster!
In this second round of salvos, Liu Xianjun fired explosive bombs. The Wu officers and soldiers gathered in the woods were immediately ravaged by the ferocious artillery fire. Many of them were blown to pieces on the spot and their flesh and blood flew everywhere!
"Retreat! Retreat!..." Many generals finally came to their senses and shouted sternly.
The officers and soldiers of the Wu army who gathered in the dense forest woke up one after another and ran away from the woods.
From a distance, it looks like countless ants have been driven out of the dense forest by fierce gunfire.
Liu Xianjun's artillery fire continued to bombard the Wu army officers and soldiers who were retreating in an emergency. They were knocked to the ground by the roaring artillery fire! It was not until the Wu army gradually ran away that the roaring artillery fire gradually calmed down!
The dense forest was burning, and the corpses of many Wu officers and soldiers were scattered on the land by the coast. The Wu army originally wanted to ambush their opponents, but they did not expect that they seemed to be the one being ambushed.
Lü Meng sensed that the situation was not good and could no longer care about the enemy fleet on the sea, so he hurriedly led his troops back.
At this moment, an officer covered in blood and in a state of embarrassment rode towards him on horseback.
Lu Meng couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he saw such a scene.
The officer rushed straight to Lu Meng and reported urgently: "It's not good, deputy governor!
Wenpin led the army to suddenly attack from the east. After defeating General Li Mo, he and Wei Yanli launched a surprise attack. Our army was caught off guard and they broke through the blockade. Now the two enemy armies have merged and retreated to the east!"
Lu Meng was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered the entire army to return at full speed.
Soon after, the army led by Lu Meng rushed back to the hill that surrounded Wei Yan's headquarters. What he saw was a messy scene. The camp to the east was almost completely destroyed, and the ground was littered with corpses. Our own army suffered heavy casualties.
!
Lu Meng was furious, but faced with such a situation, he couldn't vent. At the same time, he felt puzzled, wondering how Wenpin could be so powerful!?
In front of Yuhang is Liu Xian's army camp.
Liu Xian read the letter from Fei Ge he had just received and said to Guo Jiaqi with a smile: "Feng Xiao, your plan worked. Wen Pin successfully broke through the enemy's blockade and joined Wei Yan's troops to break out. Now they have retreated to Shangyu.
"
Guo Jia thought: "Lu Meng will not let it go. After all, allowing our navy to occupy Shangyu will greatly threaten the security of Kuaiji."
He raised his head and looked at Liu Xian and said: "Wei Chen believes that Lu Meng will definitely mobilize all the forces he can muster to counterattack Shangyu. Even if he cannot completely annihilate our navy, he still wants to drive our navy out!"
Liu Xian smiled and said: "Then we don't let him have such an opportunity." Then he said seriously: "Our army has enough time to rest and recuperate. Send the order, and the entire army will launch a full-scale attack tomorrow morning!"
After Lü Meng's strategy of encircling the point for reinforcements failed, he gathered all the forces nearby and prepared to launch a strong attack on Shangyu.
At this moment, Sun Jing sent an urgent report from Yuhang: Liu Xianjun began a large-scale attack!
Lu Meng looked at the report in his hand and frowned tightly. He walked outside the big tent with his hands behind his back and looked at the blood-red sky under the setting sun in the distance. He murmured to himself: "Liu Xian launched a full-scale attack at this time, obviously he wanted to make me
No time to look around!..."
Lu Meng's eyes looked into the distance, and the scene of the fierce battle in Yuhang seemed to appear in his field of vision, as if he could hear the earth-shattering fighting! The battle in Yuhang at this moment must be very fierce!
Lu Meng was right. At this moment, although it was already dusk, the battle in Yuhang was still in full swing.
Under the cover of artillery fire, Liu Xianjun launched an unknown charge for an unknown number of times. More than 10,000 elite troops, with heavy armored infantry as the vanguard, fiercely attacked the defense lines in front of them, which were composed of trenches and horse resistance.
Wu Jun tried his best to neutralize Liu Xianjun's superior strength.
Several continuous deep and wide trenches were laid out on the dozens of miles of battle line from Yuhang to Qiantang, and thirteen fortresses made of earth and stone as the main materials were built along the trenches.
The land for dozens of miles seemed to have turned into a fortress, and the front of Yuhang, which Liu Xian's army was attacking fiercely at this moment, was just a corner of this huge fortress.
Liu Xianjun quickly crossed through the trench that had been filled in before, until he reached the stronghold in front of Yuhang City, and then controlled the ladder truck to start erecting the ladder.
