On the evening of the first day, Xian Yufu received the first military report from Longmen Ferry.
However, the military report only mentioned that the Shu captives attacked the ferry.
As for the final battle situation, it was not mentioned.
This sudden situation made Xian Yufu almost unable to bear it and immediately sent reinforcements.
But when he looked towards the other side, he had to endure this impulse.
The reason is very simple. According to the spies' reports, Thief Feng in Fenglingdu seems to be making strange movements and his traces are uncertain.
Reading these two pieces of news together, Xian Yufu couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
This plan of the Shu captives is just to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. They want to attack Pubanjin and signal an attack on Longmendu. How can I be fooled?
No matter what the Shu captives do, just keep an eye on Feng Thief, and there will be nothing wrong!
That's right.
But Xian Yufu didn't know that Feng rarely led battles in person unless he had no choice.
After all, he now has to stand at the height of the overall situation and is a strategy maker, not a tactical executor.
Not to mention, in the Xiao Guan battle that made Feng a famous general, he just stood on the stage and acted as a mascot.
The real mastermind who used inferior troops to fight against Cao Da Sima without falling behind, and finally lured Cao Da Sima to reveal his flaw, and then suddenly dealt a fatal blow to Cao Da Sima, was General Guan Da at the Longmen Ferry.
It can be said that Xian Yufu kept an eye on Feng Thief and failed to send reinforcements to Longmen Ferry in time, leaving the defenders at Longmen Ferry to face General Guan alone, causing him to miss the last chance to save the situation in Guanzhong.
After spending the night with some anxiety, Xian Yufu breathed a sigh of relief when he received the military report from Longmen Ferry again early the next morning.
The military newspaper made it clear that although the ferry was attacked by thieves, the Shu captives were not allowed to succeed. At the same time, they 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.
He also sent out fast horses and told the guards at Longmen Ferry to find a way to drive the Shu captives back to the river as soon as possible.
In fact, without Xian Yufu's instructions, the guard at Longmendu wanted to do it yesterday - but failed.
The reason is also very simple.
The sneak attack by the Shu captives caught the defenders at the ferry off guard. After a period of chaos, the Shu captives had already occupied a river beach.
By the time he first organized defense, stabilized the morale of the army, then reorganized the entire army, and finally prepared to organize a counterattack, it was getting late.
Although the last two temporarily organized counterattacks did not drive the more than a thousand Shu captives on the river beach into the river.
But in his opinion, this small number of people was not enough to pose a big threat to the ferry. At most, they only took advantage of a sneak attack.
After all, he has nearly ten thousand people in his hands. With such a huge advantage and a favorable geographical location, is it possible that one Shu captive can defeat ten of them?
This is not flat land, but a river beach. If the armored ghost rumored by the Shu captives rides here, it will be punished by death.
So that night, the ferry guard, who slept in his clothes, slept peacefully.
Then at dawn the next day, he was shaken awake by a frightened guard:
"General, no good, something big happened outside!"
"What happened?"
The guard had just been shaken awake, and he grunted as he didn't react for a moment.
"Shu captives..."
"What's wrong with Shupi!"
The word "Shu prisoner" is the best stimulus. The ferry guard suddenly jumped up.
The guard looked a little pale:
"General, it's better to go take a look."
The ferry guard suddenly felt something bad. He picked up his sword and hurried out, rushing up to the observation tower.
Three pontoon bridges across the river suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The floating bridge rises and falls 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, and he subconsciously refused to believe what he saw with his eyes.
Overnight, just overnight, 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 are considered the most elite and powerful soldiers in the army.
There is no other reason, because there are many soldiers in the army who cannot see anything at night, which is commonly known as bird blindness.
Therefore, every time there is a big battle or some unexpected incident, the soldiers are under too much pressure and must pay special attention to the camp roar at night.
Once the camp roars or even explodes, the soldiers will be like headless flies, running around with their heads covered, ready to be slaughtered.
A very important reason is that they cannot see and easily panic.
"Crazy, Shulu must be crazy!"
The ferry guard murmured.
Strong soldiers and generals who can see at night can be regarded as valuable combat power in the army wherever they are placed.
In addition to training on weekdays, they would not be willing to let them expend any 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 must they be full, but they must also eat much better than ordinary soldiers.
The Shu captives opposite actually let them work at night. Isn't this crazy?
Thinking of this, the ferry guard suddenly became excited:
To build three such large pontoon bridges overnight, how many elite soldiers in the Shu army must be able to see at night?
So... the opposite side is actually the main force of the Shu captives?
"Someone, come quickly!"
"General?"
"Quickly, send someone to send a message to General Xianyu, asking him to send reinforcements immediately, and tell the general that Longmendu is the main force of Shu's army! Go quickly!"
"Woooooooo..."
The Wei army's ferry guard had just finished giving his 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 piece of candy into his mouth, squinted his eyes, chewed it carefully several times, and then swallowed it.
Then stood up and stretched out his arms.
The soldiers who had been waiting aside quickly brought their armor and clothes and began to help the elite soldiers put on their armor.
"Stay behind me and don't rush to the front. Pay attention to my movements and listen to my orders clearly."
The elite soldier looked to be in his thirties, and the war was about to begin. His eyes were extremely dull.
Obviously, this is the kind of calmness that has been experienced after being rolled between life and death countless times.
"Um."
The young soldier who helped put on the armor responded quickly.
He might be a little nervous, his fingers were trembling a little, and he buttoned the armor's buttons several times before buttoning them.
The fine soldier seemed to feel the young soldier's emotions. He did not look back and said warmly:
"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, he was younger than you are now!"
As he said this, he seemed to be a little sad, "In just the blink of an eye, I followed the prince to conquer the north and south for more than ten years."
Patting the fine iron armor on his body, he laughed again, "We didn't have such good armor back then, why didn't we still beat the Wei thieves like cowards?"
"Woooooooo..."
The horn sounded for the second time.
"Walk!"
The elite soldier patted the sword on his waist, picked up the halberd, and led his men towards the gathering point.
The big flag with the word "Guan" fluttered in the wind at the highest point of the camp.
General Guan stood at the top with a calm face.
The soldiers below began to run in small steps. At the front of the queue, the tall pillars were already arranged.
The Wei army's ferry guard, who had been staring at the pontoon bridge, only then noticed that the Shu captives had begun to form a formation on the river beach, and seemed to be preparing to attack.
He looked at the big flag with the word "Guan" by the river and swallowed hard.
Ever since the fall of Bingzhou, I don't know where the news came from, saying that there were four great generals under the command of Feng Thief, Feng Linhuo.
In the battle at the street pavilion, he was as motionless as a mountain and blocked General Zhang.
In the battle of Xiaoguan, the invasion was like fire and defeated Cao Da Sima.
The battle in Guanzhong was as fast as the wind and swept through the two states of Bingsi.
Obviously there are nearly ten thousand troops on hand, but the Wei army guard is pounding in his heart.
Without him, the Shuai Banner would put too much pressure on people.
It's as fast as the wind...
Before my own army could even have breakfast, the Shu captives had already attacked, and they were really as fast as the wind.
The sound of horns sounded on the third pass, but seeing the Han army shouting loudly, they began to move forward.
Unlike yesterday's rush to cross the river, today's Han army marched in formation.
Although the siege equipment such as ladders and rams were somewhat crude, what the Wei army relied on to defend the ferry was just a camp and not a real city.
However, the Wei army had an advantageous location. The array of crossbows and crossbows were arranged at different heights, especially the crossbowmen on the archery tower. They were so high up that even the big posts could not stop the rain of arrows.
In the process of rushing towards the Wei army camp, Han army soldiers kept falling down screaming.
"boom!"
Dazhen hit the antlers.
"Step aside!"
The car was pushed out and hit hard.
"Kaka..."
The antlers swayed but did not fall.
On the other hand, the Wei troops who were guarding behind the antlers shouted in unison and stabbed at them with spears and halberds, making it impossible for the Han troops to free their hands and feet to destroy them.
Some Han soldiers even got too close and were stabbed in the face without warning.
Hearing only a scream, the Han soldier covered his face, staggered back and fell down.
"boom!"
However, because the antlers and fences were destroyed by the Han army yesterday, even if they were temporarily installed in a hurry, they were not as strong as other places.
And these places happened to be the focus of the Han army's attack.
The car collided with it again, and the antlers made a tooth-piercing squeaking sound.
A sturdy Han soldier shouted:
"follow me!"
Several people held up large cannons and rushed forward with all their strength.
"boom!"
The antlers finally fell apart.
"superior!"
The elite soldiers wearing fine iron armor could no longer hold back any longer. They shouted in unison and rushed in from this corner.
The spear thrust over.
After a dull impact, the thick armor blocked the sharp tip of the spear.
The elite soldiers of the Han army hiding in the armor also groaned.
The powerful impact made him feel a bit sweet in his throat, a wave of dizziness came to his head, and the halberd in his hand actually fell to the ground.
He bit his tongue and tried to keep himself awake. At the same time, he subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed forward fiercely.
The Wei soldiers on the opposite side only felt a light touch in their hands, and the spear was cut off by their opponent.
Looking up, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him closely, which made his heart tremble.
Relying on the protection of their armor, 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 stabbed him with a spear, hoping to drive away the elite soldiers of the Han army.
There are also halberds coming from the side...
"Uh-huh!"
The sword slashed down and cut through the armor of the Wei soldiers, causing blood to flow like a fountain.
The Bailian Saber, regarded as a precious sword by the Wei people, was actually the standing weapon of the elite soldiers of the Han army.
The crushing of weapons is so unreasonable.
However, because the elite soldier of the Han army advanced too far, without the cover of his comrades, several spears came at him again and set him up.
The Han soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing the Wei soldiers rushing over to block the gap, the Han soldiers behind who couldn't squeeze in suddenly took out their hand crossbows.
"Buzz!"
Compared with the powerful crossbows in the army, hand crossbows are just like small toys.
But shooting at such a close distance, the lethality cannot be underestimated. In addition, there was such a dense crowd, someone was shot over on the spot.
"Into your mother!"
Many Wei soldiers cursed in their hearts.
I don’t know where the Shu captives came from so many weird things.
Fighting in front of each other, but still able to shoot crossbows?
Is it a human?
Is this something humans do?
Do you understand the rules?
Do you talk about martial ethics?
Relying on the hand crossbow, the gap was forcibly widened, and more and more elite soldiers poured in.
"Three three formations!"
With enough people, a small formation can be formed.
The strong grassroots capabilities of the Liangzhou Army were perfectly reflected in this small team battle.
Although the Wei army continued to charge forward, the elite soldiers of the Han army who broke out of the gap formed a small formation on their own, like rocks in the stormy waves, standing still and holding on to the gap.
There was no interference from the Wei army around the gap, and more and more Han troops worked together to start destroying the antlers.
More importantly, General Guan sent the crossbowmen over as quickly as possible to try to suppress the Wei army's rescue speed.
The Wei Jun ferry guard had noticed this scene a long time ago. The weather was quite cool and he was sweating on his forehead.
"It's as fast as the wind... It's as fast as the wind..."
The Guan thieves indeed have the elite main force of the Shu captives in their hands!
"Come here, send out another battalion!"
"promise!"
A soldier hurried over with his people and personally led the army to charge forward.
Unexpectedly, he had just crossed the fence when several crossbow arrows were shot at him as if they had eyes.
Although before he rushed up, he already knew the coverage area of Shulu's crossbows here, which was intended to cover the opponent's flank.
But relying on the armor on his body, he was not afraid at all.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
…
After rushing for a few steps, Uncle Zub's body suddenly shook, and he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to look down, but he dropped his head and fell down.
"You don't believe in evil?"
A certain sniper crossbowman not far away took advantage of the chaos and retreated to the rear. He grunted and then put the heavy crossbow on the ground.
Then he stepped on the ring on the crossbow with his feet, used his hands and feet together, and used his waist strength to exert force. Then he opened the heavy crossbow and took out a long and heavy armor-breaking crossbow arrow and loaded it on it.
Armor-breaking crossbow arrows can penetrate the thief's armor - at least a considerable part of it.
The disadvantage is that the range is not as far as that of ordinary crossbows.
Developed by Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau and manufactured by Hanzhong Metallurgical Co., Ltd., it needs to be combined with a special heavy crossbow to exert its maximum power. The two are considered a set.
It's very expensive and belongs to the rich equipment.
Bow and crossbow mastery is exclusive and ordinary people are not qualified to use it.
The sniper crossbowman spent a lot of effort loading the crossbow, and then wandered around again, scanning the battlefield with his sharp eyes again, looking for valuable targets.
