I looked up at the steep cliff and found that although the cliff was steep, there were many protrusions and depressions on the cliff. If you find a few agile people, you can still climb up.
Yan Yan glanced at him and said: "Shou'er, select a hundred people who are agile and agile. You will lead the team to climb up the rock and obliterate the enemy!"
Yan Shou, courtesy name Pu Ling, was the son of Yan Yan.
"Here!"
Without saying a word, Yan Shou immediately named his familiar subordinates in the army and quickly formed a team of 100 people. Each person had a rope tied around his waist and a wooden stick in his mouth to prevent him from making any noise. Climb up towards the cliff.
In order to prevent someone from accidentally making a sound, Yan Yan ordered people to cross the ropes to form a net below.
Not long after, Yan Shou took the lead to climb up. Through the crenellations of the rammed earth wall, he saw a pair of six Wei soldiers, holding torches, patrolling back and forth. But more people were looking at the sound of cannon fire below. .
After five or six people climbed up around him, Yan Shou took out his knife.
When a group of Wei soldiers came over on patrol, Yan Shou suddenly rushed out from the side. He blocked the man's mouth with one hand and quickly slashed his neck with a knife in the other. The few people following Yan Shou killed the others with the same agility.
Yan Shou ordered: "You put down the rope and greet the brothers below. You three..." He ordered three personal guards, "Put on the clothes of the Wei army and follow me!"
The rammed earth defense line above was relatively flat, and one could see from east to west at a glance. Yan Shou chose a time to hand over the patrol, quickly changed into Wei Jun's clothes, threw the body off the cliff, and pretended to patrol forward in a grand manner. Go downhill.
Jingjun behind them climbed up quickly along with the rope.
There is a small stronghold in front.
"Oh... damn it!"
A captain walked out of the stronghold and saw Yan Shou and others returning. He walked over cursingly: "I asked you to patrol and come back so soon? Be careful that Jingjun will touch you and take your dog..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes and blood gushing from his neck. Yan Shou simply killed him with one knife and then ordered in a low voice: "Kill in!"
Several people quickly entered the stronghold.
Inside were five teams of people changing guard at this location, thirty people in total. Some were lying on simple beds and falling asleep, while others were eating and drinking, chatting, and none of them had weapons in their hands. Suddenly, they saw Yan Shou and others. When they came in, everyone looked at them in surprise and saw that they were wearing Wei army uniforms. They thought they were from the front line to convey orders.
A man with a slightly higher official position said: "Our school captain has just been released..."
"kill!"
Yan Shou highlighted one word with murderous intent and already stepped forward and rushed in.
In a matter of moments, the stronghold was cleared, and a strong smell of blood spread around the stronghold. There were already several hundred people from Jingjun coming up behind.
"Major General!" A personal guard came in, "The general is ready. Order the major general to quickly attack the gentle slope defense line and receive the cavalry ashore."
Yan Shou nodded, "The entire army is gathering and preparing to kill us!"
The Wei army on the coastal defense line did not expect that a large number of Jing troops would come up and be killed by the Jing army without any defense. It was not until they were about to reach the gentle slope defense line that the Wei army reacted and hurriedly organized a counterattack. The troops from dozens of nearby strongholds They all gathered here.
Yan Yan below heard the movement above and ordered the cavalry to fight out.
The troops here were mobilized a lot by Cao Chun downstream, and because of the panic defense, there were very few troops at the gentle slope. Yan Yan led his troops to attack the gentle slope, and there was almost no effective resistance. A large number of cavalry rushed to the Wei army's defense line and fought. It was a one-sided trend in an instant.
The Wei army was defeated and they all knelt down and surrendered.
In order to prevent the news from here from spreading to the lower reaches, Yan Yan ordered the cavalry to block the passage from here to the lower reaches, imprison all the Wei prisoners of war, and at the same time quickly pass the information to the other side.
Inside the military tent.
When Yan Yan broke through the Wei army's defense line above, both Zhang Ren and Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief. The battle here is too fierce. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it if it continues. In just one hour, he lost four to five thousand people. He had a total of 50,000 people, and he lost one-tenth in one hour. .
Zhang Ren quickly sent an order to the people from the Che Barracks to quickly go upstream to build a pontoon bridge, and ordered a large force of cavalry to prepare and wait for the pontoon bridge to be built to quickly cross the river.
Pang Tong said: "Reduce the frontline troops and increase artillery and arrows to prevent Cao Chun from reacting."
After this battle, Zhang Ren obeyed Pang Tong's advice and immediately agreed with Pang Tong's words.
The strength of the Jing army was reduced, and Cao Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the support of artillery, the rammed earth wall at the front of the Wei army no longer existed. It could only be defended by human lives. It was blocked abruptly and suffered heavy losses. The Jing army lost four to five thousand people. The Wei army here at least There are seven or eight thousand. You must know that in this battle, he is on the defensive side and Jingjun is on the offensive side.
The death rate of the defensive side was twice that of the attacking side, which was a miracle.
Cao Chun panted heavily, leaning against the earth wall and looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him. He was already horrified. If he hadn't braved life and death and walked in front of the battle, the battle would probably not be able to withstand tonight. In just one hour, This place has experienced several thrills and was almost broken through by Jingjun.
But fortunately, I finally managed to hold on.
Jingjun's artillery was so terrifying that even now, right from the beginning of the battle, his ears and head seemed to be filled with a swarm of bees, buzzing non-stop, and the splashed earth was flying all over the sky. Falling on the body, every Wei army became earthy.
There were fewer troops, but more arrows.
The giant arrows of Kecheng's heavy crossbow seemed to be free of charge, and they were fired at the Wei army's position in waves, so that the Wei army hid in the pit and did not dare to come out.
Less than half an hour later, Jingjun's arrow rain finally stopped.
Cao Chun stood up against the earth wall. When he looked behind the earth wall, he was shocked. The earth wall behind almost turned into a hedgehog. Arrows as thick as a thumb penetrated deeply into the wall. , about half submerged.
And in this half hour, the floating bridge on the Yellow River was successfully built.
Zhang Ren openly led all the cavalry to the pontoon bridge to cross the river. The front was occupied by Yan Yan, and nearly 10,000 cavalrymen had passed through the pontoon bridge. There was no need to hide.
"Report to the general, the general has withdrawn to the west."
The detective horse came galloping to report.
Withdrawn!
Cao Chun breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he jumped up, stared at Tan Ma and asked, "Where did you retreat to?"
Tan Ma looked at Cao Chun strangely: "Withdrawal to the west."
not good!
Cao Chun's face immediately turned pale. At this moment, he had realized that the battlefield here was just to attract his attention. The real purpose of Jing's army was to force both sides to cross the Yellow River.
But it's too late to say anything now.
The Jing army troops had already crossed the Yellow River and were riding towards Cao Chun. Their horses roared and the Wei troops along the way either abandoned their swords and surrendered or scattered and fled for their lives.
Yan Yan led his soldiers and horses to fight all the way, and the Wei army's middle Yellow River defense line was completely defeated.
