Chapter 1006 It's as fast as the wind

  In the evening of the first day, Xian Yufu received the first military report from Longmen Ferry.

  But the military newspaper only said that the Shu captives attacked the ferry.

   As for the final situation of the battle, it was not mentioned.

   This sudden situation made Xian Yufu almost unable to bear it and immediately sent reinforcements.

   It's just that when he looked to the other side, he had to endure the urge.

  The reason is very simple. According to the spies' reports, Feng Lingdu's thief Feng seems to have changed and his disappearance is uncertain.

  Combining these two news together, Xian Yufu couldn't help sneering in his heart:

  The plan of the Shu captives was just to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. They wanted to attack Pubanjin and attacked Longmendu. How could I be fooled?

  No matter what the Shu captives do, just keep an eye on Feng thief, there will be no mistakes!

  The truth is right.

   It's just that Xian Yufu doesn't know that now Feng, unless he has to, seldom leads the battle in person.

   After all, he now has to consider issues from the perspective of the overall situation. He is a strategist, not a tactic executor.

   Not to mention, in the first battle of Xiaoguan, which made someone Feng a famous general, someone just stood on the handsome platform and became a mascot.

  The real operator who fought against Cao Da Sima with inferior forces without losing the wind, and finally lured Cao Da Sima to show his flaws, and then suddenly dealt a fatal blow to Cao Da Sima was General Guan who was at Longmen Ferry.

   It can be said that Xian Yufu stared at Feng thief, did not send reinforcements to Longmen Ferry in time, and let the defenders of Longmen Ferry face General Guan alone, making him miss the last chance to save the situation in Guanzhong.

  Spent the night in a somewhat uneasy mood, and Xian Yufu was relieved when he received the military report from Longmen Ferry again early the next morning.

  The military newspaper made it very clear that although the ferry was attacked by thieves, it did not let the Shu captives succeed. At the same time, it also promised that the Shu captives on the river beach would be driven into the river today.

  The only thing that made him a little uneasy was that the Shu captives occupied a small area in Hexi.

  In order to avoid accidents, Xian Yufu finally decided to send 3,000 reinforcements to Longmen Ferry.

   And sent out fast horses, and asked the guard at Longmen Ferry to find a way to drive the Shu captives back into the river as soon as possible.

  In fact, without Xian Yufu's orders, the guard at Longmendu wanted to do it yesterday—but he couldn't do it.

  The reason is also very simple.

  The surprise attack by the Shu captives caught the defenders at the ferry a little off guard. After a period of confusion, the Shu captives had already occupied a river beach.

  By the time he organized defense first, stabilized the morale of the army, then reorganized the entire army, and finally prepared to organize a counterattack, it was already too late.

  Although the last two impromptu counterattacks did not drive the more than 1,000 Shu captives on the river beach into the river.

   But in his opinion, this small number of troops is not enough to pose too much threat to the ferry. At best, they are just taking advantage of the sneak attack.

   After all, I have nearly ten thousand people in my hands, such a big advantage, and occupying a geographical advantage, can one of the Shu captives fight ten?

  This is not flat land, but a river beach. If the armored ghost in the rumors of the Shu captives rode here, it would be death.

  So this night, the ferry guard who slept in his clothes slept peacefully.

   Then at dawn the next day, he was shaken awake by the panic-stricken guards:

   "General, it's not good, something big happened outside!"

   "What happened?"

  The guard had just been shaken awake, and he didn't react for a while, so he grunted.

   "Shu prisoner..."

   "What happened to the Shu captives!"

  The word "Shu captive" is the best stimulus, and the ferry guard suddenly jumped up.

  The guard's face was a little pale:

   "The general should go and have a look."

  The guard at the ferry suddenly felt something was wrong. He picked up his sword and hurried out, rushing up to the observation tower.

  Three pontoon bridges spanning the big river suddenly appeared in his eyes.

  The pontoon bridge fluctuates with the waves of the river, like three roaring dragons.

   "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

  The ferry guard was trembling all over, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, subconsciously he refused to believe what his eyes saw.

  In just one night, the Shu captives built three pontoon bridges for war horses to travel. How did they do it?

   "How do they work at night? Can all of them see at night?"

   As we all know, soldiers who can fight at night can be regarded as the most elite and powerful soldiers in the army.

  There is no other, because there are many soldiers in the army. At night, their eyes cannot see anything, commonly known as blindfolded.

  So whenever there is a big battle, or any unexpected incident, the soldiers are under too much pressure, so they must pay special attention to the camp whistle at night.

  Once the camp screams or even bombs the camp, the soldiers are like headless flies, running around with their heads covered and being slaughtered.

  A very important reason is that they cannot see things with their eyes and tend to panic easily.

   "Crazy, the Shu captive must be crazy!"

  The ferry guard murmured.

  A strong soldier who can see at night can be regarded as a valuable force in the army wherever he is placed.

  In addition to training on weekdays, they would not be willing to let them spend a little more energy.

   It doesn’t matter if the other soldiers don’t have enough to eat, they must ensure that they have enough to eat.

   Not only do you have to eat enough, but you also need to eat much better than ordinary soldiers.

  The Shu captives on the opposite side actually let them work at night. Isn't this crazy?

  Thinking of this, the guard at the ferry crossed suddenly:

  Building three pontoon bridges of this size overnight, how many elite soldiers must there be in the Shu army who can see at night?

  So... the opposite side is actually the main force of the Shu captives?

   "Come on, come on!"

   "General?"

   "Hurry up, send someone to send a letter to General Xianyu, asking him to send reinforcements immediately, telling the general that Longmendu is the main force of the Shu army! Go!"

   "Woooooooooooooo..."

  The general guarding the Wei army's ferry had just finished giving orders, when the sound of horns suddenly sounded in the Han army's simple camp on the river beach.

  An elite soldier of the Han army carefully poured the last small piece of sugar into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and chewed several times carefully before swallowing it.

   Then stand up and stretch your arms.

  The soldiers who had been waiting at the side quickly took the armor and began to help the elite soldiers put on the armor.

   "Dai will follow me, don't rush to the front, pay attention to my movements, and listen to my orders clearly."

  The elite soldier looked only in his thirties, and the war was about to start, his eyes were extremely dull.

  Obviously, this is the calmness that has been cultivated through countless times of life and death.

"Um."

  The young soldier who helped put on the armor quickly responded.

  Maybe a little nervous, his fingers trembling a little, he buckled the buttons of the armor several times before he buttoned them.

  The fine soldier seemed to feel the emotions of the young soldier, he didn't look back, and said softly:

   "Don't be nervous, the thieves on the other side can't beat us. I think back then, when Feng Junhou took me out of Nanxiang, I was younger than you are now!"

   As he said that, he seemed a little bit embarrassed, "It's just a blink of an eye, and he has been fighting south and north with the king for more than ten years."

   Patted the fine iron armor on his body, he laughed again, "We didn't have such good armor back then, wouldn't we beat Wei thief like a coward?"

   "Woooooooooooooo..."

  The horn sounded for the second time.

"Walk!"

  The elite soldier patted the saber on his waist, then picked up the halberd, and led his men towards the assembly point.

  The "Guan" flag fluttered in the wind at the highest point of the camp.

  General Guan stood at the highest point with a calm face.

  The soldiers below began to run in small steps, and at the front of the queue, the tall and big cockroaches had already been lined up.

  The general guarding the ferry of the Wei Army who had been staring at the pontoon bridge, only then noticed that the Shu captives had already begun to form on the river beach, as if they were about to attack.

  He looked at the big flag with the word "Guan" by the river, and swallowed hard.

  Since the fall of Bingzhou, I don't know where it came from. It is said that Feng Linhuo is under Feng Linhuo's command, and there are four thugs.

   In the battle of Jieting, he was as immovable as a mountain, blocking Old General Zhang.

   In the first battle of Xiaoguan, the aggression was like fire, and Cao Da Sima was defeated.

  In the first battle of Guanzhong, it was as fast as the wind, sweeping the two prefectures of Bingsi.

  Obviously there are nearly 10,000 horses on hand, but the guard of the Wei army is beating drums in his heart.

  Without him, the handsome flag of the Shu captives put too much pressure on people.

  It's as fast as the wind...

  In my own army, before I even had time to eat breakfast, the Shu captives had already attacked, and it really was as fast as the wind.

  The horn sounded in the third pass, but seeing the Han army drinking and drinking, they began to move forward.

  Different from crossing the river in a hurry yesterday, today's Han army marched in formation.

  Although the siege equipment such as ladders and rushing chariots are somewhat crude, the defenders of the Wei army at the ferry are nothing more than camps, not real cities.

  However, the Wei army occupies a favorable location, and the high and low crossbow formations, especially the crossbowmen on the archery tower, are condescending.

  In the process of rushing towards the Wei army camp, Han soldiers kept falling down screaming.

   "Boom!"

   Dalu hit the antlers.

"Step aside!"

   The car was pushed out and hit hard.

   "Ka Ka..."

  The antlers wobbled but did not fall down.

   Instead, the Wei army guarding behind the antlers shouted in unison, stabbing with long spears and halberds, preventing the Han army from letting go of their hands and feet to destroy it.

   There were even soldiers of the Han army who got too close, and one was stabbed directly on the facade without guarding against it.

   There was only a scream, and the soldiers of the Han army covered their faces, staggered back and fell down.

"boom!"

  However, because the antlers and fences that were destroyed by the Han army yesterday, even if they were hurriedly repaired, they were not as strong as other places.

   And these places happened to be the direction where the Han army focused on attacking.

   The car crashed into it again, and the antlers squeaked.

  A strong Han soldier shouted:

"follow me!"

   Several people held up the big pole and rushed forward with all their strength.

   "Boom!"

  The antlers finally fell apart.

"superior!"

  Following behind, the fine soldiers in fine iron armor couldn't hold back for a long time, shouted in unison, and rushed in from this corner.

  The long spear stabbed over.

  After the dull impact, the thick armor blocked the sharp spear point.

  The elite soldier of the Han army hiding in the armor also let out a muffled grunt.

  The powerful impact made him feel a bit sweet in his throat, and a wave of dizziness came to his head, and the halberd in his hand fell to the ground.

  He bit his tongue, trying to keep himself awake, and at the same time subconsciously pulled out the saber at his waist, and slashed forward fiercely.

  The soldiers of the Wei army on the opposite side only felt light in their hands, and the spear was cut off by the opponent.

   Looking up, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at him closely, making his heart tremble.

  Relying on the protection of the armor on their bodies, the elite soldiers of the Han army rushed forward desperately with their swords raised.

   Someone in the Wei army wanted to cover his comrades, and he raised his spear and stabbed him, intending to drive back the elite soldiers of the Han army.

  There is also a long halberd approaching from the diagonal...

   "Shua!"

   Slashing down with the saber, the armor of the soldiers of the Wei army was cut through, and blood gushed like a spring.

  The Bailian Zhanma Dao, which was regarded as a precious sword by the Wei people, was actually a standing weapon for the elite soldiers of the Han army.

  The crushing of weapons is so unreasonable.

   It was just that the elite soldier of the Han army was too aggressive and did not have the cover of his comrades. Several long spears stabbed him again and set him up.

  The Han soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

   "Die!"

  Seeing the soldiers of the Wei army rushing over, trying to block the gap, the soldiers of the Han army behind who couldn't squeeze in suddenly pulled out their hand crossbows.

   "Om!"

   Compared with the strong crossbow in the army, the hand crossbow is like a small toy.

   But shooting at such a short distance, the lethality cannot be underestimated. Coupled with such a dense crowd, someone was shot over on the spot.

   "Come into your mother!"

  Many Wei soldiers cursed in their hearts.

   I don’t know where the Shu captives got so many weird things.

   Fighting face to face, but still shooting crossbow arrows?

   is a person?

   Is this what people do?

   Do you understand the rules?

  Do you want to talk about martial arts?

  Relying on the hand crossbow, the gap was forcibly enlarged, and more and more elite soldiers poured in.

   "Three three formations!"

   With enough people, you can form a small formation.

  The Liangzhou Army's strong grassroots organizational capabilities are perfectly reflected in this small group battle.

  Let the Wei army continue to rush up, and the elite soldiers of the Han army who rushed out of the gap formed a small formation on their own, like rocks in a stormy sea, standing still and guarding the gap.

   There is no interference from the Wei army around the gap, and more and more Han troops work together to start destroying the antlers.

   More importantly, General Guan sent the crossbowmen over as quickly as possible, trying to suppress the rescue speed of the Wei army.

  The Wei Jun Ferry Guard General had noticed this scene a long time ago. The weather was quite cool, and his forehead was sweating.

   "As swift as the wind...as swift as the wind..."

  Guan thief is indeed the elite main force of the Shu captives!

   "Come on, send another battalion!"

   "No!"

  A soldier hurried over with his men, and personally led the army to rush up.

   Who knew that he had just crossed the fence, and several crossbow arrows shot at him together as if they had eyes.

  Although before rushing up, he had already noticed that this was the coverage area of ​​Shulu's crossbow arrows, which was intended to cover the opponent's flank.

   But relying on the armor on his body, he is not afraid at all.

   "Peng!"

   "Peng!"

  …

   After rushing a few steps, Zubo's body shook, and he only felt that the strength in his body was suddenly drained.

   His eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to look down, but he fell down.

   "Do you not believe in evil?"

  A certain sniper crossbowman not far away, taking advantage of the confusion, retreated to the rear, muttered, and then put the heavy crossbow in his hand on the ground.

   Then stepping on the ring on the crossbow, using both hands and feet, cooperating with the strength of the waist, and exhausting all the strength of the whole body, he pulled the heavy crossbow and took a long and heavy armor-piercing crossbow and installed it.

  Armor-piercing crossbow bolts can penetrate the armor of the thief—at least a considerable part of the armor.

  The disadvantage is that the range is not as long as that of ordinary crossbow arrows.

  Developed by Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau and manufactured by Hanzhong Metallurgical Corporation, it needs a special heavy crossbow to exert its greatest power. The two can form a suit.

   Very expensive, belonging to local tyrant equipment.

   Bow and crossbow proficiency is exclusive, and ordinary people are not qualified to use it.

  The sniper crossbowman took a lot of effort to install the crossbow, and then wandered again, scanning the battlefield with sharp eyes again, looking for valuable targets.
