Chapter 680

: Landing on the beach

In the early morning of the second day of April, more than 600 warships of the Hebei Navy arrived at Luokou. After only more than an hour, the Hebei Navy defeated hundreds of large and small fleets of ships pieced together by the Wei army with its elite navy, well-trained formations and extremely sharp weapons.

Immediately afterwards, the Hebei Navy made a little rectification and took the initiative to land on the river beach.

At the foot of Mang Mountain, teams of defeated troops who fled ashore after a water battle fell one after another, and under the cleanup of the Wei army's neat array of archers, they fell one after another. The remaining 10,000 vanguard troops who fought fell one after another, and finally the entire army was wiped out.

The wind blew by, and the weeds from the distant grass were swaying with the wind.

There was a faint noise of soldiers and horses coming from the south. The army arranged by Li Mi here came over and got closer and closer. In the tide-like red sea of ​​people, you can see clearly that the red flags and red helmets flying on the heads of the Wei soldiers were the symbols of their officers. Above the heads of the team, there was a bright metal reflection, and a black helmet shining with bright light.

And around the red flags and the officers' red tassels, there are more bright red headscarves of soldiers and their red battle robes.

This team that flashed from the darkness was completely different from the defeated army who had just been cleared by them. On the huge plain ten miles wide, the most elite inner army of the Wei army lined up in neat arrays and advanced forward like a wall.

There were sixteen people in a row, and sixteen people in the first column, two hundred and fifty-six people formed an infantry phalanx, and four small infantry phalanx formed a large square. On the left and right of this infantry cluster of more than one thousand people, there was also a cavalry team of hundreds of people, guarding the two wings of the infantry on both sides and advancing slowly.

The four infantry and cavalry clusters formed a larger infantry cluster. At this time, at the foot of Mangshan, there were more than 6,000 infantry and cavalry clusters of more than 6,000 people gathered in total, and a two-three-three formation was unfolded on the plain, like a continuous squeezing of iron walls.

On the Guanling Mountains in Shandong, Li Mi finally had a hint of joy on his face. He held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand and looked happily at the advance army full of murderous aura below. The 60,000 troops were half of his ambush troops, and the most elite troops in Wei State. This is the confidant of Li Mi Yizhi becoming the leader of the world and the hero of the Central Plains.

Shen Luoyan also held a thousand-mile mirror and watched the battlefield below. The Wei army advanced steadily, only more than 400 steps away from the river beach. With such a heavy infantry and cavalry joint formation, she couldn't think of why the Hebei Navy kept retrenching at this time, but instead drove the warship to the south bank. He could even clearly see a group of soldiers jumping into the water from one warship after another, and rushed to the south bank mudflat like ants.

Attacking it halfway is a tactic that every commander knows. It is also a tactic that every commander will guard against and exploit. The current actions of the Hebei Navy are tantamount to showing that they will land on the beach in front of the most elite army of the Wei army.

Shen Luoyan knew that Chen Kefu's method of using troops was good at using surprise, but he was no longer a surprise soldier, but directly hit the Wei army's knife.

If something goes wrong, it is a monster. She quietly waits with her breath. She believes that Chen Kefu is not a fool. Because the facts have proved that whoever treats Chen Kefu as a fool is the real fool. She believes that Chen Kefu's actions must have hidden more powerful killing moves.

The Wei army array on the plains gradually slowed down, and the Wei army generals commanding in front of the formation were also alert to the abnormal behavior of the Hebei army. In such a dark night, facing 60,000 elite Wei army soldiers and playing on the beach landing, such a person is either a fool or a madman.

However, Wang Bodang, the general of the Wei army, who was commanding, also thought the Hebei army was a fool, and there was only one madman left to explain. Facing a group of madmen who had just easily wiped out ten thousand of their troops, Wang Bodang did not dare to be careless at all.

"Step forward and keep the formation!" Wang Bodang rode a white horse, wearing a silver cloak behind him, holding a long sword in his hand, and shouted in front of the array.

Wang Bodang's caution made Li Mi, who was watching the formation on the mountain, feel a little dissatisfied. No matter what the Hebei army was thinking, in Li Mi's opinion, since they dared to land on the beach, then the best chance to defeat Chen Kefu. Being suspicious is tantamount to wasting this rare fighter. Once the Hebei army stabilizes the beachhead position and sets up the array, it will be a real fierce battle.

"Then Wang Bodang, let him attack immediately. Tell him that Gu had prepared fine wines here, and when he returned victoriously, Gu personally poured wine for him to celebrate his achievements!"

After hearing the military orders brought by Li Mi's orders, Wang Bodang frowned and looked at the tall warships opposite, as well as the soldiers who were constantly rushing to the river beach. He was still a little hesitant, but at this time he had to follow the military orders.

With a long sword in his hand pointed forward, the Wei army's quadron suddenly burst out with shocking noise. The army instantly accelerated its speed with a neat square formation and rushed towards the shore at the speed of charge.

From afar, Zhang Zhongjian was relieved on the Anlan flagship docked in Hexinzhou. He was not afraid of Li Mi coming to attack, but was afraid of Li Mi not coming. How could he cover King Chen secretly advance eastward from behind?

"I am the commander of the coach. All the large warships in Hexinzhou are preparing to attack, launching bed crossbows, ejecting stones, gunpowder packs, rockets, and covering landing troops. Another commander is to send the order to Zheng Wang in the previous stage to show the combat effectiveness of the Jianghuai Army to the coalition forces. Let them immediately seize the beach and line up on the south bank to meet the enemy. Their mission is to stick to the south bank and attract the attention of the Wei army."

"Yes!" The messenger quickly left.

When the Wei army was more than 200 steps away from the Jianghuai Army in the south bank, "Woo!~~~"

The long horn sounded, and in an instant, on the nearly 100 large warships docked from Hexinzhou, huge stones, smoke-filled gunpowder packs, thunder and rockets with bright fireworks shot towards the Wei army one after another.

The south of Hexinzhou is only more than one hundred steps away from the south bank of the Yellow River. At this time, the Wei army was only more than two hundred steps away from the south bank. The Hebei army launched various large equipment from the high warships, and its coverage completely enveloped the Wei army's front line.

"Woo!~~~"

A tight horn continued to roar, and hundreds of troop transport ships on the south bank had all been built on the shore. Teams of Jianghuai soldiers jumped off the ship and ran wildly towards the south bank.

"Array!"

The officers of the Jianghuai Army held a horizontal knife and shouted loudly. The soldiers following them quickly followed the orders and quickly arranged troops in front of the south bank.

From time to time, whistling sounds came from the head, iron crossbows, huge rocks, rockets, gunpowder packs... all kinds of long-range weapons flew straight towards the Wei army in front of them like swarms.

The stones cast by the catapulted cart are amazingly powerful. They fall into the Wei army's array, and even the strong shield cannot resist them. The huge rocks are like meteor meteorites falling from the sky. Pieces of plasma are constantly splashing in the Wei army's array, and there are even many broken hands and feet flying into the sky. Facing the dense Wei army infantry formation, each stone can take away the lives of several Wei soldiers.

The large iron crossbow fired by the crane crossbow, which had an astonishing attack power. The huge iron crossbow shot into the formation, and the soldiers of the Wei army could not avoid it. Often, a crossbow arrow would pass through several soldiers in a row, strung them into a string until their strength fell. Some of the soldiers shot by the crossbow arrows had not died immediately, but could only straddle the large iron crossbow, unable to move, and screamed.

What is amazing lethality and even more amazing deterrence are gunpowder packs and flowering bullets, rockets, poison gas bombs, smoke bombs and other gunpowder weapons. The smoke bombs fell in front of the Wei army, and the smoke instantly reduced the eyesight of the soldiers to the lowest point. The yellow-green smoke bombs had a fatal hazard. After the running soldiers inhaled the poison gas, they often coughed and kept tears and snot.

Immediately afterwards, the cast iron shells bloomed and the large number of gunpowder bags were taken away like the cow heads and horse faces in the underworld.

As soon as the first round of attacks was over, the array in front of the Wei army began to be in chaos. The Wei army suffered huge losses. In just one round, hundreds of soldiers had fallen down in front. If it were an ordinary rebel army, if it was such a big blow, the front army might have been defeated.

However, this Wei army was Li Mi's most elite internal army and the strongest combat force in Wei State. After more than a moment of chaos, the Wei army's complete armor, solid shields, and well-trained usual allowed them to withstand the attack. Under the command of various experienced generals in the front of the Wei army, the shield array and the spear array cooperated with each other, and a large number of archers also fought back intensively.

The Wei army did not retreat but advanced. With the fierce long-range attack of the Hebei army, the Wei army's rear formation sounded the rapid and exciting war drums. Amid the rumbling drum beats, the Wei soldiers burst out shouting one after another, rushing towards the formation on the south bank.

Wang Bodang's judgment was very simple. The biggest advantage of the Hebei Army was their large number of long-range weapons. If they could not get closer and engage in contact with the Hebei Army, they could only let all kinds of weapons continue to attack, but they could not fight back.

In his opinion, the fatality of the Hebei Army lies in the fact that they are naval troops. As long as they rush through this broken distance, the Hebei Army that had just arrived ashore will definitely not be able to stop them. At that time, all the Hebei Army companies will not have the chance to return to the ship, and they will directly drive the Hebei soldiers into the river.

"Cabinet charge, break the formation!"

The Hebei army was right in front of him, and Wang Bodang could even see the panic on the faces of many soldiers. As soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, people on the battlefield stood up. He held the sword in his hand and issued an order to charge towards the cavalry!
