Cao Jun, who was prepared in advance, took a ferry and attacked the Xia Jun navy that blocked the river as quickly as possible.
According to the intelligence obtained by Cao Wei, in order to fight against the famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xia Army Navy did not have any famous generals in charge. As long as Cao Jun attacked with generals and elites, it would not be difficult to break through the blockade.
It was indeed as Cao Cao expected.
General Wenpin and Vice-Admiral Pang De, who acted as the vanguard and were good at water warfare, drove their warships to defeat more than a dozen Xia army warships on the water at the fastest speed.
Groups of Cao soldiers crossed the river quickly.
In order to prepare for the Xia army's counterattack, Cao Cao even transferred his strongest tiger and leopard cavalry to the other side to escort the subsequent soldiers across the river.
"Report...Xia Jun learned that our army was crossing the river and sent troops to intercept it."
Cao Jun's spies quickly came to report.
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Xu Chu beside him, "Zhong Kang, you and Cao Xiu attack together to block the Xia army's troops!"
Xu Chu was not good at leading troops, but he was still very competent as a bodyguard and general.
Cao Xiu's personal strength is not too strong. With Xu Chu protecting him, he doesn't have to worry even if he encounters a general of the Xia army.
"The last general takes command!"
Xu Chu immediately handed over his hand, mounted his horse, and galloped out with Cao Xiu and three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.
The number of tiger and leopard cavalry crossing the river was not large, but three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were enough to attack 100,000 soldiers and horses. With the fierce general Xu Chu sitting in charge, it was enough to deal with the enemy.
After sending Xu Chu, Cao Cao took a look at the soldiers and horses crossing the river and ordered the soldiers and horses to speed up.
Soon after, the spies came back to report that the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu and Xu Chu had repelled the Xia army soldiers and horses that came to intercept them.
When Cao Cao heard the good news, there was not much joy on his face.
Although he had made up his mind, Cao Cao was still worried after leading his army across the river.
"Fengxiao, do you think our crossing of the river went too smoothly?"
Cao Cao suddenly asked.
Guo Jia said: "Ming Gong, our army is advancing but not retreating. Even if Xia Jun really has expectations, our army can only continue to cross the river and go south. We have contacted the Han army before sending troops, and the Han army has already contained Xia Jun." The main force of the army!"
"As long as Han Xin doesn't come in person, it doesn't matter if you encounter some setbacks!"
Cao Cao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, as long as Han Xin doesn't come in person, Xia's army can't stop our army even if it sets an ambush!"
At this time.
A boat was speeding up the river in the distance. This light boat was also sent out by Cao Cao to explore.
"Report..."
The light boat came quickly, and the spy had an anxious look on his face as he rushed to report: "Your Majesty, the Xia Army Navy dispatched more than a thousand warships that suddenly appeared from Bianliang and are rushing towards us..." More than a thousand warships Warship?
Cao Cao looked surprised, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "As expected, as Feng Xiao said, the Xia army was really prepared, but they only sent more than a thousand warships. How could they be our army's opponent?" He laughed a few times. After hearing the news, he immediately asked Dian Wei to cooperate with Wenpin to stop him.
Soon, more than a thousand Xia Army giant ships appeared on the water in the distance from far to near. Each warship was extremely ferocious and revealed murderous intent.
boom!
Dian Wei came directly into the air, and when Xia Jun's navy approached, he activated his divine power, and a blood-red halberd light blasted through the air.
Buzz! Endless water light suddenly appeared around Xia Jun's warship, and the water light formed a barrier to block Dian Wei's bombardment.
"Who is coming?"
Dian Wei shouted. There was a little caution in his eyes, because when the water light was formed, he felt that the level of the person who took action had also reached the heavenly realm.
"Great Xia Wei Rui, I have met the general..."
On Xia Jun's warship in the distance, a man who looked elegant smiled.
At this time, it has been a long time since He Ruobi and Qi Jiguang broke through to the heavenly realm. During this period of time, the other famous generals in Daxia will not stand still.
For example, Wei Rui, the number one general in Nanliang in history, had already exceeded the limit and became another leader of the Great Xia Dynasty.
A heavenly general.
He also served in the Eastern Route Army, but he was in command of the navy. During the Battle of Bianliang, he only led the navy to block the Yellow River and did not participate in the war.
When Han Xin sent troops to march westward, it was Wei Rui who assisted Gao Xi in guarding Bianliang. As soon as there was any movement in Cao's army, he led his navy to attack them.
"Wei Rui...he has also reached the heavenly realm!"
Cao Cao heard the sound on the river in the distance, and his face darkened. The Daxia Dynasty absorbed many essences of the southern dynasties in history, and had many famous ministers and generals.
After a while, another heavenly general appeared.
However, Cao Cao read the history books and knew Wei Rui's ability and that the opponent had the potential to reach the heavenly realm.
boom!
After Wei Rui and Dian Wei exchanged a word, they waved their hands to direct the navy. With a strong roar, more than a thousand warships fired a large number of spiritual fire bombs at the same time. In an instant, the sky above the river turned into meteor flames.
Many of the spiritual fire bombs bombarded Cao Jun's ferry.
Upon seeing this, Dian Wei quickly intervened to intercept.
He is good at foot combat, and the moves and magical powers he has mastered are not large-scale bombardments, and his shots only blocked part of the fire bombs.
In an instant, dozens of ferries and many soldiers on board screamed in agony. The ferries exploded into pieces and the soldiers fell into the water.
Xuzhou!
Wang Jing is still waiting for news from Xingyang.
After the sound transmission altar was successfully produced, news could be transmitted immediately even thousands of miles away. Therefore, when Wang Jing stayed in Xuzhou, he could also get first-hand military information from the camp on the east road.
Soon, important military reports came from the camp on the east road.
"Your Majesty... we have an urgent report from camp. Cao Jun suddenly broke camp and went south, crossed the river and launched a surprise attack on our army!"
Liu Bowen and Yu Yunwen came with urgent reports.
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, "Are you saying that before the winner was decided in Xingyang and before the news of the Tang army's departure from Taihang came out, Cao Cao immediately broke camp and crossed the river?"
Cao Jun's behavior was a bit different from his own inference.
In Wang Jing's theory, after learning about Li Tang's change of strategy, Cao Jun realized the hidden crisis in Cao Wei and then broke camp and returned to Qingzhou.
At this time, Cao Cao directly broke out of camp and launched an attack on Daxia. This reaction seemed a bit too violent.
Liu Bowen was not surprised by this.
Daxia's previous inference was just a choice made by Cao Wei with a high probability. It is not surprising for a hero like Cao Cao to react in any way after realizing the danger.
"What did General Han Xin say?"
Wang Jing calmed down quickly. Since Cao Cao took action in advance, it meant that he had completely broken with Daxia. He chose to join forces with the Eastern Han Dynasty and became Daxia's enemy.
Liu Bowen quickly said: "General Han Xin said in the military newspaper that he had been prepared for Cao Jun, and had ordered General Wei Rui to lead the navy to bombard Cao Jun's ferry... Cao Jun's surprise attack was about surprise. Since General Han Xin had expected it, it means that Cao’s army poses little threat to our army.”
Wang Jing nodded slowly.
Since Han Xin had already taken precautions, he didn't have to worry.
"Since Cao Cao has chosen to take action, I no longer have to wait for the opportunity in Xuzhou... or in other words, the opportunity is now!"
"I am ready to send troops immediately, aiming directly at Qingzhou!"
Wang Jing said decisively.
