Chapter 939 The Battle of Crossing the River

Liu Bei was silent for a moment and suddenly said hopefully: "If Mao Jie had already broken through Qipan Peak, the entire battle situation would still be beneficial to us."

Pang Tong frowned and said, "What the lord said is very true, but it is difficult for us to interfere in the battle on Qipan Peak.

What we have to worry about now is the main force of the enemy.

If I expected it well, Lu Bu would soon launch a full-scale attack on us."

Liu Bei couldn't help but frown.

As soon as the sky was dawn, heavy sounds of war drums came from the north bank, as if the power of the magic from the north was chilling.

Liu Bei walked out of the tent and looked north. It was early morning. The scene on the other side of the shore was not real. Only heavy war drums were heard constantly.

On this dim morning, it makes people feel like there is something terrible monster approaching.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came. Following the sound, a scout rushed towards him.

The scout rushed straight to Liu Bei, suddenly strangled his horse, rolled down his saddle, and bowed to Liu Bei, "Report to the lord, the enemy's troops are divided into two groups, one gathered in the front, and the other gathered towards the River God Temple!"

Liu Bei frowned, "Take it again!"

The scout Yingnuo said, turned over and ran away.

Pang Tong said to Liu Bei: "The enemy's troops divided into two groups, and they must have to cross the Wei River from two directions.

It's time for our army to act immediately."

Liu Bei frowned and nodded, saying to Pang Tong: "I'll ask the military advisor to lead 50,000 troops to the Heshen Temple."

Pang Tong held his fists and agreed and went down immediately.

After a while, soldiers and horses surged in the camp. General Pang led 50,000 officers and soldiers to leave the camp and rushed to the Heshen Temple.

Not long after Pang Tong left, there was a scene of soldiers surging on the other side.

Liu Bei looked up and saw Lu Bu personally leading the army to the river bank. At the same time, while all the wooden rafts that were driven out last night were thrown into the water, the Qin army was ready.

Liu Bei frowned and shouted sternly: "Follow me to attack!"

Then Liu Bei led the remaining 50,000 troops from the camp to rush out of the camp and headed to the river bank to make formations and prepare for battle.

On the other side, General Pang led 50,000 troops to the vicinity of the River Temple. The Qin army on the other side had arrived, and the army was lined up and preparing to cross the river.

When Pang Tongyao saw Zhuge Liang being on a hill on the shore, he couldn't help but feel anger in his heart. He immediately rode his horse to the high place and shouted, "Zhuge Liang!..." Zhuge Liang had already seen Pang Tong and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Shi Yuan, don't be fine!"

Pang Tong snorted coldly and asked, "Zhuge Liang, the lord treats you with great kindness. Even Zhang Liang of that year did not receive such kindness from Emperor Gaozu, but he was ungrateful and begged for glory! Can you tell whether you have any shame in life?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Shi Yuan, Liu Bei treats me sincerely, otherwise he would not have believed in slander in Chang'an and arrested Ma Su and me.

Furthermore, I have already repaid Liu Bei’s kindness to me for helping him to go west to Xichuan and seize Guanzhong north. Now I am not worthy of each other, so why bother to mention the past?

But I would like to advise Shi Yuan that Liu Bei seems to be kind and righteous, but in fact he is a villain.

He has no real intention to save the people of the world. He is nothing more than using this to gather people's hearts to achieve hegemony.

No matter what you do, in his heart, he is just a tool for him to realize the hegemony of the imperial edict. Therefore, once he loses his value or arouses his suspicion, he will abandon you without hesitation."

Pang Tong snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Zhuge Liang, don't provoke discord! The lord is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is the official! I, Pang Tong, swear to be loyal to the Han Dynasty to the death!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Shi Yuan was determined to be a slave for the Liu family, but where did he conquer the people of the world?"

Liu made the world angry and resentful, which caused chaos in the world.

What qualifications do you have to own this world!"

Pang Tong shouted: "You and I don't have any speculations! If you have the ability, just attack! I, Pang Tong, will never let you and other traitors succeed!"

Zhuge Liang sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Then, Shi Yuan, take care of him!"

Pang Tong snorted and stopped talking to Zhuge Liang anymore, ran into the army, urging the soldiers to make preparations as soon as possible.

Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at his subordinates. The teams were ready.

At this time, a general came to Zhuge Liang and clasped his fists and said, "Military advisor, each division has been prepared, just wait for the military advisor to give the order."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Let's start."

The general replied and immediately ordered the drummer to beat the drum.

The drummer swung the drumstick and beat it, and the rumbling drum sounded across the banks of the Wei River.

When Pang Tong knew that his opponent was going to attack, he immediately shouted at his subordinates: "Come on the crossbowman!"

Liu Bei's crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows to prepare for the launch, and the huge crossbows with wooden wheels were also equipped with grown guns and arrows and aimed at the river surface.

Pang Tong turned his head and looked at the other side, looking a little leisurely.

Although the enemy was far more than them, he was confident that he could use the natural barrier of Weishui to block the opponent's attack.

Pang Tong murmured to himself: "Crossing the river depends entirely on boats and rafts. There is no cover on the river, and it is the best target for attacks on crossbows and crossbows!"

He smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the bed crossbow and crossbowman who were ready to go beside him.

However, after the sound of the Qin army's war drums sounded, the expected scene of thousands of troops crossing the river did not appear. The Qin army was still lined up on the north bank, but more than a hundred huge box carriages rushed out from behind the military formation.

Pang Tong's expression moved, and his face changed, and he couldn't help but murmur: "Do they want..." The more than a hundred huge box carriages rushed to the river bank, quickly turned around and the south bank of the box object was behind. Then the boxes separated, revealing huge black iron pipes.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers who were operating the artillery loaded the gunpowder into the artillery. With the order of the general, more than a hundred cannons roared together. As the fireworks surged, black shells roared over the Wei River and fell into Liu Bei's army on the other side. Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Countless Liu Bei's officers and soldiers were knocked to the ground by the terrible power~! The entire military formation suddenly moved! Some crossbowmen subconsciously shot arrows at the other side, but the arrows only flew into the middle of the river and fell into the water. Some crossbows also shot, but they could only fly to the other side and could not cause any harm to their opponents.

After one round of fire, the cannon will be reloaded immediately to prepare for the second round of bombardment.

Pang Tong shouted anxiously: "The entire army retreated a hundred steps!"

The 50,000 Liu Bei's army immediately retreated back and retreated to a hundred steps away from the roar of the opponent's artillery fire before stopping.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, ordered the artillery to stop shooting, and then ordered Gao Shun to lead 10,000 forwards to cross the Wei River immediately.

Ten thousand officers and soldiers received the order and immediately rushed out of the army, rushed to the river bank, climbed onto the wooden rafts, and crossed straight to the opposite bank! At this time, since Liu Bei's army had retreated a hundred steps away, it was difficult for the crossbows to perform their effectiveness, so they could only watch their opponents cross over without any obstacles.

Ten thousand Qin troops crossed the Wei River and quickly climbed to the south bank to form an array. At the same time, the wooden rafts carrying them returned to the north bank, preparing to carry the second wave of troops across the river.

At this time, only 10,000 Qin troops crossed the south bank, and there was another Wei River separated from the main force behind. Liu Bei's army's fighter plane arrived.

Pang Tong shouted sternly: "The entire army attacks, be sure to annihilate the Qin army in front of him!"

The sound of war drums rumbled.

Fifty thousand Liu Bei's army rushed up, rushing forward like a tide, sweeping towards the ten thousand Qin troops that had just crossed the Wei River.

Gao Shun was not afraid of danger and ordered his officers and soldiers to prepare for the battle.

The camp quickly arranged in front to form a defensive formation first, and the other armies were quickly ready to fight.

In a blink of an eye, the enemy's waves had already flowed in front of us.

With Gao Shun's order, the Qin army crossbowman who had been ready to go quickly moved the rocker of the crossbow. In an instant, the crossbow arrows rushed towards the enemy like dense locusts! The crossbow was not a rare weapon, and it appeared in the Warring States Period. However, because of its insufficient power and complex structure and difficult to manufacture, it was never used on the battlefield on a large scale. However, it was different from Ailang. Thanks to Huang Yueying's genius transformation, the crossbow equipped by the Qin army was not only far more powerful than before, but also greatly simplified in the structure. Therefore, the crossbow was already a major equipment among the Qin army.

Although there were not many Qin army crossing the river, they used the unique power of the crossbow to form dense arrow curtains and shoot at the enemy in a short time.

In an instant, the enemy army was like a tide of numerous stones thrown into countless ripples.

Many Liu Bei's army were shot to the ground, but because of the limited power of this kind of crossbow, most of them did not die on the spot, but the pain of burning fire at the wound made them scream loudly.

It turns out that in order to make up for the lack of power, the crossbows will be poisoned on the arrow cluster to increase the lethality of the arrows.

The dense rain of arrows fired by the crossbows kept rushing towards the enemy, causing the enemy to pay a considerable price for every step forward.

Finally, Liu Bei's army rushed to the front, shouting and roaring on the Qin army's defense line, like a strong wind and wave, making people feel that the thin defense line of the Qin army would collapse in an instant! However, after the terrifying scene like the storm of the shore, the Qin army's defense line remained unmoved! The huge wave of Liu Bei's army was blocked by the Qin army's defense line! Tens of thousands of people failed to break the formation in one fell swoop, and they were crowded together all at once. Many officers and soldiers shouted anxiously! Liu Bei's army officers and soldiers shouted and howled, and the officers and soldiers in the front tried to wield swords and axes to attack the Qin army to try to break the Qin army's defense line, but their swords and axes hit the shield of the camp, making a loud bang sound! The camp guarded the front line tightly and remained motionless! At this moment, Gao Shun suddenly shouted and shouted: "Counterattack!"
