Standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, Fan Yi's tone was very depressed and low. Under the flickering firelight, his dark face was shining, but at this time he was serious, and his right hand was waving constantly, urging Chen *Jun beside him. The soldier's left hand sometimes relaxes and sometimes clenches, which shows that he is extremely nervous inside.
There were no waves on the Yangtze River this morning, there was no breeze, and the fog was thick and condensed. You could barely see your fingers when you stretched out your hand. Crossing the river in this situation was not necessarily a good thing, but for Fan Yi and Chen *jun, it was a big deal. good thing,
The news of the siege of Nanqiao Prefecture had returned to Jiankang. Without much consideration, Sima Fu decided to send troops to support the army. Fan Yi, the general of the guard, was the commander. Fighting on the river,
The Qi army only besieged Nanqiao Prefecture but did not attack it. How could Chen Guo not know that Hua Xing was planning to encircle the point and bring reinforcements? But even if they knew that they were helpless,
The Qi army won successive victories, and its momentum was unprecedented. The fierce attack caught Chen Guo off guard, and there was no danger to defend the north bank of the Yangtze River. If Chen Guo did not send troops to rescue, Wu Mingche's 200,000 elite troops would not be able to escape the fate of being trapped alive. What's more, at this time, the dignity of the country is at stake. Avoiding fighting and refusing to save people will definitely demoralize Chen's army and even lead to catastrophe.
Although there are 100,000 troops around, plus the 200,000 troops in Nanqiaozhou City, the total reaches 300,000, twice the Qi army, it is not impossible to break through the siege of Nanqiaozhou through internal and external attacks, and even give the Qi army a hard time. Lost the battle and returned in embarrassment,
It's just that Fan Yi didn't relax in his heart. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the reputation of being invincible in all battles brought too much pressure to him. Besides, since the Qi army wanted to encircle the area for reinforcements, they must have done a good job. Fortunately, there was thick fog on the river. Although Chen *jun's crossing of the river was much slower and even dangerous, his whereabouts could be better concealed.
Stepping on the last stern boat, looking at the vaguely visible river surface under the diffuse mist, he heard the soft sound of the boat's oars breaking through the water. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking upstream, Fan Yi secretly thought: "Success or failure" At this time, I don¡¯t know what the situation is like with the Supervisory Army.¡±
"General, we will reach the shore in another quarter of an hour. Qi Jun has not appeared yet. Qi Jun probably did not expect us to arrive so soon."
When the ship arrived at the center of the river, everything was still quiet. Fan Yi's face was not only not happy at all, but also frowned. He was not afraid of Qi Jun's appearance, but he was afraid that Qi Jun would not show up. Things that are not under control will always make people upset. ,
"Don't take it lightly, pass on the order, everyone is ready to fight." He scolded the deputy general in a deep voice. Fan Yi's eyes looked around like an eagle, alertly paying attention to any movement around him.
Seeing Fan Yi¡¯s serious face, the deputy general also felt awe-inspiring, agreed and left in a hurry.
"Fan Yi, my son, I have been waiting for you for a long time, hahahaha."
Just as Chen *jun in front was preparing to land on the shore, a burst of loud laughter suddenly came from the distance, which suddenly tore the silent night apart. At the same time, a torch suddenly appeared in Jiangbei, which was originally dark. When it lights up, mathematics spreads in the blink of an eye, like those dots of stars. At a rough glance, there are no less than fifty thousand.
"The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking."
"Don't panic, listen to the general's orders."
"Prepare the catapult."
"The crossbowmen are ready."
The officers and soldiers of Chen*jun panicked at first, but soon calmed down under Fan Yi's scolding and started to act in an orderly manner. After all, they were also the rare elites of Chen State. A tense and chilling atmosphere instantly filled the night sky, and the evil spirit soared into the sky. Almost blowing away the fog on the river,
"Wang Lin, you dare to be so arrogant as a general who has subjugated your country. You don't know how to escape early, and you dare to provoke this general. You really don't know whether to live or die. No matter what, I will cut off your head when the general crosses the river and present it to my emperor."
From the voice, Fan Yi recognized that the person shouting was Wang Lin. The person who once blocked Chen Baxian's rise and fought alone for Nanliang. After confirming that it was Wang Lin, Fan Yi's face became obviously more relaxed. Wang Lin personally led the people in By cutting himself off, Sima Xiaonan will have a high chance of crossing the river safely.
"What a loud tone, and I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue." Wang Lin sneered, but she didn't get angry. Now that the situation was reversed and her status was different, how could he put Fan Yi in his eyes, "Fan Yi, don't say I didn't give you a chance. , it¡¯s not too late to surrender now.¡±
"Dream." Fan Yi suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Cross the river at full speed and attack."
"Crossbowmen, release the arrows." Wang Lin shook her head and used her right hand to press forward.
Amidst the shrill screams, countless arrows flew from the river bank towards the river. Because of the fog, the people on the river lost their accuracy.However, it was quite difficult for the people on the boat to avoid it. A large number of arrows fell into the water and penetrated into the solid boat. Some of them pierced the skin and flesh of Chen *jun's soldiers. For a while, screams came one after another, and a fierce battle This opens it,
Fan Yi would not be passively beaten and did not fight back. Under his order, the catapult on the ship roared angrily and threw huge live ammunition at the group of torches on the river bank. Although the Qi army lit the torches, it could intimidate them. Chen*jun also exposed his target.
Looking at the large torches that were smashed by stones and extinguished, Wang Lin's lips curved into a stern smile. Chen *jun thought that he was arrogant and stupid, but he didn't know that everything about them was within his expectations.
"Artillery battalion, fire."
¡°Bang bang bang.¡±
There were dozens of loud noises in a row. When Chen *Jun didn't know the reason, dozens of meteors tore through the thick fog and slammed into them. Some of them fell into the water, setting off huge waves and splashing on the boat, while others fell into the water. It fell on the ship and exploded with a huge roar,
Like the earth shaking and mountains and rivers turning upside down, Chen Jun on the boat staggered all of a sudden, and even those who were very close were torn to pieces by the scorching air waves on the spot, or were thrown out and landed in the cold river water.
"No, the boat is leaking and the boat is going to sink."
"Don't panic, spread out."
Fan Yi's expression changed suddenly and he reacted in time. He finally understood why Wang Lin did not hide in the dark and wait for Chen Jun to land a head-on attack. Because of the foggy weather at that time, their sight was blocked and their sight was blocked. The artillery has no target. It's ridiculous that I laughed at Wang Lin for being stupid and exposing her traces, but I don't know that I am the target, and the lit torch is just a bait.
Although the power of the catapult is not small, it is not as powerful as the Gaodei artillery. The ultra-long range and superb skills can completely allow these artillery to counterattack in the direction of the catapult, and carry out an almost devastating blow to Chen *jun. ,
The artillery was suppressing the front, and the catapults arranged by Wang Lin on the shore were no less generous. They threw overwhelming live ammunition into the river, which made Chen *jun miserable and extremely embarrassed.
"Lay out the sampan, rush in quickly, go straight forward, and kill."
Fan Yi¡¯s steel teeth almost shattered him. He cursed Wang Lin and Gao Xing countless times in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
Every warship in the river is full of soldiers. If they are not dispersed, they may die unjustly in the river as the ship sinks. The current plan can only be broken into pieces. The sampan has a small target and a fast speed. As long as it steps on By occupying a position on the bank of the river, Chen*jun can defend and counterattack.
And Wu Mingche is also a man who is good at using troops. He will definitely pay attention to the fighting here. When the time comes, he will lead his army out of the city and attack the Qi army. The Qi army with less than 100,000 people will definitely not be able to stop Wu Mingche, not to mention Sima Xiao, who rarely has an army of 50,000 people. He will become a surprise soldier who can turn the tide of the war.
Fan Yi had a good idea, but he underestimated Gao Gao and Wang Lin, and even underestimated the power of artillery.
The battleship Chen Guo relied on to be proud of the world was as vulnerable as rotten wood in front of the artillery. As long as it was hit by the cannonball, a huge hole was shot out of the battleship, the river water poured in, and it sank into the river in the blink of an eye. Because those sampans were thin, they would be overturned by the huge waves caused by the shells if they were not careful.
Although Chen *jun was good at water warfare, these 50,000 people were not from the navy. Once the ship sank, it would be better if they fell into the water. Many died under the Qi army's artillery, but many more were submerged by the river. , panicked screams, and miserable screams mixed together, resounding throughout the sky,
Fan Yi¡¯s voice was hoarse, but Chen *Jun was still so depressed that he could not lift his head up. The heavy casualties made his heart bleed. He was still gritting his teeth and persisting. He could only hold on and wait for a turn.
Fan Yi didn¡¯t know that Sima Xiaonan, whom he was waiting for, was also in a hard fight at this time.
Wang Lin grew up in the south, and was once the leading general in Nanliang. She was also a master in water warfare. She was extremely familiar with the environment along the Yangtze River and knew the places on the Yangtze River that could be used as ferries. Fan Yi divided his troops into two groups to spy on the news on the river. The road is not a secret,
Fan Yi naturally did not expect to be able to completely deceive the Qi army. He just saw that the Qi army was insufficient and did not dare to divide his troops. Once the Qi army was dispersed, Wu Mingche could lead his army to attack on his own initiative and defeat the Qi army one by one.
Happy to split up the troops, and 60,000 people were divided at once, giving Fan Yi and Sima Xiaonan a head-on blow.
¡¡
Nanqiaozhou,
"It's dark tonight, which is perfect for a surprise attack. No matter whether the news is true or false, you have to give it a try, otherwise you will be trapped in the excitement." Standing on the top of the city, looking at the quiet Qi Army camp outside the city, Wu Mingche said secretly,
Two hours ago, Fan Yi¡¯s personal guard Zhang TuBreaking the blockade of the Qi army, he came to the city and brought news of the arrival of reinforcements. Wu Mingche did not fully believe the news he brought just because he knew the guard, but he made arrangements and preparations for an attack.
When the night was deep and people were already asleep, Wu Mingche immediately ordered the four city gates to be opened, and ordered his three lieutenants to lead 10,000 people each to break out from the east, west, and north gates.
"The enemy attacks, fight."
When Chen*'s army approached one mile away, Qi's army was awakened and immediately came out of camp to fight. There was no panic in their expressions, and their movements were orderly and swift.
Wu Mingche had to admire the Qi army. No wonder they were able to defeat the Zhou State and the Turks successively. They were indeed rare elites, and they were different from those a few years ago.
