Chapter 488: Night Battle
The Cavalry Army lost a lot of people and horses, but never broke through the defensive front of Cao's army. Seeing that it was impossible to break through, Huang Zhong immediately led the army out of the battle. The two sides had their own losses. The Cavalry Army pushed all the way to the east coast.
More than ten miles away, I set up camp on a rolling hill behind me.
Cao's army did not dare to pursue. Cao Hong immediately ordered more than 100,000 troops on the west bank to cross the river quickly. More than 100,000 troops crossed the Qingshui River and met with the army on the east bank.
Cao's army had just crossed the Qingshui River, and Xu Huang and Wu Yi led the Baotao Army to the west bank. At this time, it was too late, and the troops on both sides set up camps on the east and west banks of the Qingshui River. Cao's army was stationed by Sun and Yue
The two camps are divided into two camps on the left and right. The one on the left is the "Ri" camp, close to the clean water. A grain truck is used as a fence. There is a lookout post built with logs on the fence. A circle of three meters wide is dug outside the fence.
The trench two meters deep is divided into eleven communities, with the central army community in the middle, and the remaining ten are scattered around the central army. The "Ri" village is on the opposite side of Xu Huang and Wu Yi's army.
On the right is the Yue Village, located on the right side of the Ri Village, close to the Ri Village, which is half-moon-shaped. It also uses grain trucks to live outside as a fence. Many lookout posts are arranged at a certain distance beside the fence.
There were trenches dug outside the fence, and the camp tents in the village were also divided into eleven communities.
This Sun and Moon Village is characterized by the mutual support of the ‘Sun and Moon Villages. The army gathers in two parts, focusing on defense on the left and the part focusing on the right, with excellent defense capabilities.
Xu Huang and Wu Yi stood in the village, looking into the distance, and saw that the Cao Jun camp on the other side were brightly lit and people were shady. Wu Yi frowned and said, "This Cao Hong is really not simple! Such a camp has extraordinary atmosphere, and in a hurry
I'm afraid it's difficult to break through!" Xu Huang nodded and thought, "Tonight, the soldiers of the three armies have rested for a night and will attack again tomorrow morning!" He turned around and walked towards the big tent. Wu Yi looked at the camp on the other side again, and turned around.
Walk towards the big tent.
The camps arranged by the Lu Bu army are traditional Liuhua villages, and there is nothing surprising. The only advantage is that this kind of camp with multiple gates is very convenient for the army to enter and exit.
It was late at night, and the military camps on both sides gradually became quiet, and only the lights of the patrol were shaking in their respective camps.
Suddenly, an army of more than 10,000 people quietly walked from the shallows to the Lu Bu military camp under the cover of night. The more than 10,000 people were personally led by the ban, and they were all infantrymen. Everyone pursed their lips tightly and held them down.
I breathe. This shallow is located several miles downstream of the camps on both sides. Although the moonlight is bright tonight, I can't see the situation here clearly after a few miles apart.
More than 10,000 infantry troops had not yet landed, and a torch suddenly lit up on the opposite shore, causing the night to day. The Cao army soldiers in the water were all shocked.
Thousands of crossbowmen of Lu Bu army appeared under the torch and fired arrows at Cao's army in the water. For a moment, the arrows were like rain, and Cao's army was shot to the ground one after another. The soldiers injured in the arrows hurriedly retreated, and the soldiers holding shields were held.
Shrink your body behind the shield as much as possible.
Cao's army lost more than a thousand men and retreated to the shore. The army in Yu Jinzhan Camp left the camp and set out to prepare for a strong attack on the river bank. More than 100,000 infantry and cavalry were noisy, and the torches shone the entire east bank into daylight. Three thousand hands held strong
The crossbow archers of the crossbow came out and fired a rain of arrows to the other side. This powerful crossbow had a very long range, and the crossbow arrows flew towards the Lu Bu army across the Qingshui River. The arrows fell down and shot down many Lu Bu army crossbows.
Wu Yi, who was in charge of command, was surprised and immediately ordered the army to retreat 200 steps to form an array. More than 10,000 troops immediately retreated to two hundred steps away and re-arranged into a formation.
Xu Huang led a 100,000 army to come and form a formation. Xu Huang rode his horse to Wu Yi, strangled the horse, glanced at the other side, and saw that more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry on the other side had already set off.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong... The sound of war drums on the other side sounded loudly, just like in the dark night. The rumbling sound shocked the birds around. The Cao army soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the sky!
Xu Huang frowned, turned his head and shouted at the army: "Prepare for the battle!" More than one hundred thousand troops were ready for battle.
A bunch of fire on the other side suddenly rushed into the water and rushed over on the water.
Xu Huang said anxiously: "It's a cavalry! Get ready!"
The shield hand on the front line pulled the lunge and held the shield ready to face the opponent's impact. The spearman put the spear down and bounced out of the gap between the shields. The crossbowmen behind were all ready to go.
The group of cavalry rushed into the middle of the water with great fanfare and suddenly turned back. However, the sound of Cao's war drums still remained.
Wu Yi was very surprised and asked, "What the hell is Cao Jun doing?"
Before he finished speaking, the group of cavalry turned around and rushed over, waving weapons and howling. Countless iron hooves shattered the river, raised countless flying beads and splashed jade, and the water splashes in the sky reflected the moonlight and was crystal clear, with great movement!
Lu Bujun became nervous again. But the other party was about to land, but he retreated again.
Wu Yi mocked: "Did the Cao army only bluff like this?"
Xu Huang said: "Don't be careless! I guess they just want to slow down our morale and then come here with a rush!" Wu Yi was shocked. Xu Huang shouted: "Bang the drum!" The sound of war drums rumbled. Originally
Some of the contemptuous morale of the army was boosted.
The sound of shouts and rolling horse hooves came from the other side again. Thousands of Cao's light cavalry rushed through the water in one fell swoop, forming a wedge-shaped charge formation and rushed towards the Lu Bu army's front, with a momentum of unyielding! Under the moonlight, thousands of war cavalry
It is like an endless torrent, vast and thrilling!
Xu Huang showed excitement, raised his axe and roared: "Boardman ready!"
The crossbowman immediately raised the crossbow, and when the opponent's cavalry came closer, the crossbowman fired arrows together, and the arrows blew out, whistling out, blowing the torch to the point of swaying!
The rain of arrows suddenly fell into the middle of the enemy. I saw people sang up and over, and the loud sound of people and horses yelling in my ears came.
The Cao army cavalry continued to rush over, and the troops shouted, looking like they were desperately crazy.
The crossbowman shot another rain of arrows. Immediately afterwards, the torrent formed by the Cao army's war cavalry crashed into the Lu Bu army's defensive front. Amid a series of loud noises, the shield defense line was sunk in many places, and at the same time, many Cao army soldiers
The horse fell to the ground! The scene was in chaos and tragic!
However, the impact speed of the Cao army's combat cavalry was exhausted, and the crossbowman shot a wave of arrows, causing the Cao army cavalry to fall down one after another. Then the spearmen surged forward under the cover of the shield line, and the spear in his hand shone brightly.
With the cold light, the Cao army's cavalry kept stabbing the horse! The Cao army's cavalry left more than a thousand corpses and fled!
There was a cheering sound in Lu Bu's army. But at this moment, the sound of killing in the camp suddenly shook the sky, and more than a dozen red signal rockets were rising. The soldiers of Lu Bu's army were shocked when they saw this scene. On the other side, they were all surprised.
Yu Jin showed a proud look on his face.
