Chapter 635: Hefei Fierce Battle Part 1

,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the dark night, Chen Shuo led 2,000 soldiers to travel along the west bank of the Feishui River. His mission was to pull out the small military camp next to the ferry on the west bank to prevent the garrison from attacking the Han army from behind. His army walked very secretly and gradually approached the military camp. Although it was called the small military camp, it also covers nearly acres of land. There were a thousand Cao troops stationed here, and there were fifty fast ships, which were the moat's sentry boat water village.

Chen Shuo carefully observed the enemy's military camp for a while, and sent two scouts to find out the structure of the camp. After a moment, the two ran back and whispered: "There are no thorns and deer antlers around, nor are there any traps in the horses. It is an ordinary military camp."

"There are sentinels," Chen Shuo asked again.

"There are sentinels, but you can only see twenty steps at most."

Chen Shuo's eyes rolled and he immediately ordered: "Everyone lined up and followed me to the enemy's barracks."

The alarm issued by the main general Man Chong had already reached Xiaojin, but due to the water barrier, it had not yet reached the small military camp next to the east bank ferry. It was already the first time, and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep. The barracks were particularly quiet. On the left and right huts next to the gate, two soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the huts.

At this time, a soldier suddenly found an army lined up in the darkness and shouted, "Who is it? Stop it?"

"We are here from Nanyang to provide assistance under the order of the Prime Minister, and General Man Chong can be here."

The other party replied loudly, but the army did not stop and got closer. The sentry hesitated a little. As usual, he had already sounded the alarm, but these troops came from Nanyang and were reinforcements sent by the Prime Minister.

Just as he was hesitating, the other party had already walked more than a dozen steps away. The sentry woke up and shouted: "Stop moving forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow shot like lightning, and an arrow shot through the sentry's throat. He covered his throat and screamed, and fell head-on on the sentry tower. Another sentry opposite suddenly reacted and shouted in shock, "There are situations and enemies."

Before he could sound the alarm bell, several arrows shot at him together. The sentry screamed and fell straight from the wardrobe. At this time, Chen Shuo shouted loudly and "Go in"

A soldier rushed up with a huge slamming wood. With a loud bang, he knocked open the gate of the military camp. The soldiers of the Qianhan Army rushed in shouting and shouting. Most of the Cao army was sleeping, especially the dozens of large tents near the military camp. Before the soldiers in the tent woke up, they became ghosts under the sword.

The Cao army soldiers in the military camp were awakened. They were so frightened that they shouted in fear and fled in scattered ways. More soldiers could not escape and had to kneel down and surrender and beg for mercy. On the official road outside the military camp, Cao Zhen led a thousand cavalry to rush towards the small military camp. He was leaving the city gate and bypassing. There was still a mile away from the military camp. A soldier suddenly pointed at the small military camp and shouted: "Look at General."

Cao Zhen held the war horse, and he also saw that there were flames flying into the air in the small military camp and a fire was lit. "Not good" Cao Zhen suddenly realized that this must be a signal to report to another army attacking the Xiaojin military camp.

Cao Zhen turned his horse's head and was about to leave, but he still strangled the war horse and slowly took off his long spear. Why did he be so passive and why did he leave? He wanted to kill the enemy in the small military camp. He suddenly raised his spear and shouted, "Brothers, come in with me."

A thousand tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly started, killing towards the small military camp like thunder

The fire lit by the small military camp was a signal to Gan Ning. At this time, Gan Ning's fleet was already outside the main military camp, waiting quietly for the moment of attack. The small military camp in the distance had already ignited flames, but Gan Ning did not issue an order to attack.

Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat and stared at the lanterns on the whistleblower in the distance. The lanterns had been extinguished. This was the signal of the alarm, but what made Gan Ning strange was that the signal of the whistleblower had already been extinguished long before the fire in the small military camp started to burn.

This shows that the Cao army had discovered that they had arrived in advance and discovered danger. So would the main military camp be prepared? Gan Ning's eyes turned to the main military camp, and his eyes became confused.

At this time, a yamen approached the Ganning ship by boat and asked: "General, will you fight?"

Gan Ning nodded. Regardless of whether the other party discovered them or not, this battle was inevitable. He immediately ordered: "You can go to fight and let the brothers protect themselves with their shields."

The order was issued, and the signal light on the Ganning warship was shaking, which sent an attack signal to the ten main attack warships that had been prepared. In the darkness, the ten warships set off. They were pedaling with manpower, and the wooden wheels were rotating. The warships were getting faster and faster. The warships were standing in a dark place full of soldiers preparing to attack, holding shield spears in their hands, and nervously looking at the dock in the dark.

The dock was very quiet, and no one seemed to notice the arrival of Jingzhou warships. They were getting closer and closer. The warships entered the step. At this moment, a sound of bang came from the darkness, and fires burst out on the dock, and countless soldiers lying on the dock appeared.

There were more than a thousand Cao troops on the dock. They picked up their crossbows and shot arrows at the Han army warships on the water. The arrows were like storms and rains, and densely shot at the Jingzhou sailors, and people kept screaming and falling into the water.

At this time, a loud bang was heard, and a warship in the front hit a huge rock under the water. The bow of the ship was broken and the hull capsized. Nearly soldiers on the ship fell into the water with screams. Then several warships behind also hit the huge rock under the water, making a mess.

This is a hidden weapon set up by Man Chong to prevent the invasion of Jiangdong Army warships. It was covered with huge rocks under the water near the dock. Only stone ships or small sampans could pass through smoothly. Unexpectedly, before the Jiangdong Army warships arrived, the Jingzhou warships crashed into the Han army warships. The Han army warships were all big ships of five stones and could not pass through the underwater stones.

The rocks were blocked underwater, arrows were raining on the water, soldiers were killed and injured, Jingzhou warships were unable to land, so they had to retreat one after another

Just as the attack on the Xiaojin water surface was blocked, the small military camp was in an unfavorable situation. Cao Zhen led a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry into the small military camp and started a bloody battle with the Qian Jingzhou naval army.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always been the most elite cavalry of the Cao army. Ten years ago, there were not many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, only more than 6,000 people. However, in the war to attack the Wuhuan people, Cao Cao selected young men with excellent cavalry from the surrendered Wuhuan people to form a new Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and handed them over to Cao Chun for training. After several years of training, this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry became the main force of Cao's army's marine warfare.

Cao Chun led only 10,000 cavalry to defeat the remaining troops of the Yuan clan. During the rebellion of the Hejian people Tian Yin and Su Bo, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and other Cao generals led 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to defeat 200,000 rebels in one battle, making the tiger and leopard cavalry to shock the Central Plains of Hebei.

This was the first time that the tiger and leopard cavalry had encountered the Jingzhou naval army. Although the navy was invincible on the water, it was far from the opponent of the tiger and leopard cavalry on land. Teams of tiger and leopard cavalry were galloping in the barracks, slashing with swords and stabbing spears. The soldiers of Jingzhou fought back, but in the end they could not compete with the Cao army cavalry and were constantly chopped over and stabbed to death. Screams around them were heard one after another. The formations of the Jingzhou naval army were divided by the cavalry and gradually fell into chaos.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Shuo knew that retreating outside the camp would be a death, and he could only escape from the water. He shouted in a hurry: "Retreat to the water."

More than four people were killed and injured in two thousand navy soldiers, and the remaining more than 1,55 navy soldiers rushed to the barracks in the southwest of the camp, and a thousand cavalry were behind them.

At this time, Cao Zhen saw Chen Shuo. He knew that this was the enemy's chief general. He hung a long spear and took off a huge bow of stone. Cao Zhen had a thousand pounds of arm strength and outstanding archery skills. He once returned the horse and shot the tiger, but the tiger fell down in response.

Cao Zhen ran away with his horse, and thrust his bow and arrows. He shot an arrow at the enemy general outside the stairs. At this time, Chen Shuo was shouting on the shore that the soldiers were swimming and retreating. An arrow shot like lightning. Poor Chen Shuo could not dodge and was shot through his head by an arrow and died tragically under Cao Zhen's arrow.

Seeing that Cao Zhen shot the enemy general to death, he raised his gun and shouted: "Kill them all."

A thousand cavalry attacked the Jingzhou navy from all directions. The Jingzhou navy had to jump into the water and swam to the island in the middle of the lake one mile away. Cao really wanted to order the enemy in the water with arrows. At this time, a cavalry rushed over and reported loudly: "General, the enemy has begun to attack the main barracks, and there is a warship, which is huge."

Cao Zhen was shocked. Man Chong handed over Xiaojin to him. If the main military camp fell, the passage to the city would be opened. He no longer cared about chasing the soldiers who fell into the water and waved and shouted: "Come with me."

A thousand tiger and leopard cavalry turned their horses and followed Cao Zhen toward the camp.

The Jingzhou navy, which attacked the main military camp, also encountered a bad situation. The underwater rocks made the warships unable to dock. In addition, the enemy's arrows on the shore were densely packed, so the navy could only fight back with bows and arrows. Despite the shields, the navy still suffered numerous casualties and wounded. At this time, the sound of killing at the city gate in the distance was shocking the sky and drums were loud. This was the Jiangdong army launching an attack on the city.

According to the agreement between the two sides, the Han army took Xiaojin to attract the main force of the Cao army, weakened the Cao army's defense against the city, and gave the Jiangdong army the opportunity to attack the city. However, unexpected situations caused the Han army's attack to be frustrated and did not implement the original plan.

Gan Ning had already received news of Chen Shuo's death at this time. He was angry and rushed to the crown, his eyes were red, holding a single halberd and a shield in his hand, jumped onto a sampan, shouting, "Come with me."
