Chapter 164 Crossing the river and attacking!

Guan Xing had just occupied Fangling, and the soldiers who reported the news had not yet returned, and Deng Fu, the prefect of the dead ghost, had no way to send someone to inform Cao Jun that the rear had been restrained.

Maybe you can try Tuomeng, but I don't know if this method of communication is reliable.

There was no progress in Meng Da's side, but he kept a close eye on Xicheng, so that Shen Zhong couldn't send anyone there.

The two sides facing each other in Shangyong still don't know what happened in the rear.

Naturally, Cao Jun didn't intend to take the initiative to attack and cover Meng Da. It's not that they wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

It would be great if Meng Da could capture Xicheng, but if he could not, if Xicheng could send the news back to Shangyong, the Shu army on the front line might send troops back to rescue.

If the Shu army, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, divides up its troops again, the rescue effect will not be achieved if it is too small, and Shangyong's defense will be weakened if it is too many.

If this happens, it will be the best time for Xia Houshang and Xu Huang to take the initiative to attack, and then the Shu army will be unable to look after each other.

Whether it is taking Shangyong by force, or attacking the Shu army for rescue, they are all good options.

But today, it seems that without waiting for the news from Xicheng to come back, the Shu army took action.

On the west bank of the Dushui River, Liu Chan with a silver helmet and a silver armor held a spear and rode forward slowly on the six-year-old Wu Xiao, who had finally reached his prime.

Behind them are five hundred fully armed Red Star Army, who will follow Liu Chan to attack Cao Jun on the east bank.

They didn't know that Mengda's 4000 men had quietly withdrawn. Even if they knew, it was still a gap of 500 men attacking 1 men.

And this time the opponent is Cao Jun, not bandits, private soldiers, or the Soochow Army.

Under Liu Chan's insistence, every soldier of the Red Star Regular Army is not illiterate, and they are thoughtful and they clearly know what this means.

But no one flinched because of this, because while they had thoughts, they also had faith.

The Dushui River in front of him has become very shallow. Although it is not dry, the deepest part is no more than the calf.

This kind of depth is no longer called crossing the river, and the so-called half-crossing has become a joke.

Although the muddy riverbed will bring some minor troubles to the march, Cao Jun, who has lost the cavalry, cannot make full use of this now.

"Go on!"

Liu Chan pointed his spear forward, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and began to march towards the east bank first.

For the first time in his left hand he held a lacquered wooden shield.

[Iron Wall Guard] and [Single Horse] could not be triggered. After the Shen family was eradicated and other forces surrendered, even [Death to Survive] could not be triggered.

The current physique is only at the level of [excellent physique]. I have tried to call arrows with this physique in Shangyong City... I can only say that the success rate is very touching.

There must be an ambush by Cao Jun on the other side, and with his plan today... it's better to be safe.

……

"Report—! General, the Shu army on the other side has begun to cross the river!"

"Oh?" Xia Houshang, who was talking with Xu Huang in the camp, immediately got up happily, "How many troops did the Shu army send here?"

"When there are less than a thousand people."

Xia Houshang frowned, and asked again: "Do you know who is leading the army?"

"The enemy's flag with the character Liu character is flying, watch its leader's black horse and silver armor."

Liu Ziqi... With Liu Feng's injury, he will definitely not be able to get out, plus the black horse and silver armor.

Xia Houshang was almost certain immediately that the person who came must be Liu Chan, Prince of Hanzhong!

"Hahaha, good time! General Gongming, let's go, let's act according to plan."

Xu Huang frowned slightly, always feeling that things should not be that simple.

Even though Liu Chan relied on his martial prowess and liked to ride alone into battle, judging from his record in the Battle of Jingzhou, he was by no means a reckless man.

Even though the Shu army was limited in strength, they did not dare to use soldiers. They thought that they could gather around 5000 to [-] troops.

Now he only led 500 people to cross the river to attack, and there must be fraud among them.

It's just... where is the fraud?
"General Boren, Liu Chan only led this small force to come, there must be fraud in it, we must guard against it."

Xia Houshang nodded with a smile and said, "I know that he is not a scheming man, but he shouldn't have led the troops here by himself. As Liu Bei's son, he is the heart of the army. The reason why the Shu army has resisted so far and never surrendered is all because of him leading the troops to help.

"Now he leads a small number of soldiers and horses to cross the river by himself, putting himself in a dangerous situation. No matter what other moves he has, as long as we follow the plan, as long as we capture or kill Liu Chan, the Shu army will collapse! It's such a high-level strategy, and it's useless, hahaha..."

Xu Huang nodded, what Xia Houshang said made sense.

No matter how high the strategy is, it will never be able to turn beans into soldiers; no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will not be invulnerable.

As long as Liu Chan can be captured and killed in this battle, the Shu army will stop everything.

More than three counties will be returned to the king of Wei, and Liu Bei will lose his crown prince due to his advanced age, which will inevitably make the hearts of his subordinates unstable.
If Liu Bei dies, the imperial court will be able to occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River at that time, and Sun Quan's children will be unable to fight alone, and they will perish after a long time.

Even Xu Huang couldn't help feeling ups and downs when he thought that this battle might lay the foundation for the imperial court to regain lost ground and achieve great unification again.

The two quickly dispatched troops and generals to act according to the previous plan.

……

After Liu Chan led his army ashore, he immediately observed the surrounding terrain.

Although it is considered open after landing here, there are high mountains farther away on both sides, and the farther to the east, the narrower it becomes.

Smooth roads become lowlands, and lowlands become valleys.

According to the news from the scouts, Cao Jun chose the hilltop camp, with steep mountains on the west side and relatively gentle mountains on the east side, which can effectively defend against his own attack from the west side.

If the risk is to climb the mountain from the west, Cao Jun can take advantage of the dangerous position, forming the effect that one man guards the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.

If you want to climb the mountain on the east side first, you must pass through the valley. At that time, Cao Jun only needs to ambush on both sides of the valley...

After a little inspection, Liu Chan lamented that his opponent was indeed not of Yi Yu's generation.

He was still inspecting the terrain, and only half of the Red Star Army soldiers had landed...

Tom tom tom tom...!
A battle drum sounded, and banners were suddenly erected from the forests on both sides.

"kill--!"

Cao Jun's ambushes who were ambushing on the river bank suddenly rushed out!
"Son Liu Chan! We have been waiting here for a long time!" A young general led the crowd towards him.

"Heh." A sneer twitched at the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly, "Cover the rear army to land, and go meet him alone! Drive!"

The black horse jumped out suddenly, and accelerated in less than twenty steps, rushing towards Cao Jun like a black lightning.

[Unyielding], [Gentian], and [Single-handed] were triggered one after another.

It seemed that General Cao did not expect that Liu Chan would rush over without waiting for the rear army to land ashore, and he rushed so fast, obviously hesitating for a while.

Wu Zhi's horse was fast, and General Cao rode his horse towards each other. After a while, Liu Chan rushed not far in front of him.

Although he had seen Liu Chan's bravery, General Cao did not flinch.

It only needs to fight once, and when the two horses miss each other, Liu Chan will be surrounded.

Even if he is brave, people like himself can always hold him back, just wait for the army behind to arrive, and the Shu army will be defeated!
It's time to make great contributions!
"Liu Chan, listen up, I am a white horse..."

puff!
Before General Cao could be named, the spear in Liu Chan's hand stabbed out. General Cao raised his spear to block it, but found that if there was a thousand ton force on it, he couldn't even deflect the line of the spear, and the spear pierced his throat precisely.

With momentum, half of the neck was torn apart, and blood spurted out immediately...

"I don't remember the name of mediocrity alone."

Liu Chan flicked his spear and rushed towards Cao Jun's battle formation without slowing down.

Seeing that his general was stabbed under the horse as soon as he got together, Cao Jun was shocked, but fortunately, the training was fairly strict on weekdays, so he didn't collapse yet.

The spear array was set up, and the sword and shield were on top. Obviously, Cao Bing was no stranger to cavalry charges.

It's a pity that the ones rushing over were not ordinary cavalry.

"Hey!" Liu Chan swung the spear in his hand with all his strength, slapped left and right, and missed all the spear shafts in front of him.

"Hey, baby—!" The tacit understanding of the black horse immediately slowed down and stopped suddenly, and stood up, kicking forward one after another with its muscular front hooves!

dong dong dong dong!

The poor Cao Bing held the shield in his hand and received four heavy hooves from the black horse, and the shield was kicked so that it stuck to his chest.

After the four hooves passed, he fell on his back and lost all feeling in his left arm.

"Drive!" Taking the opportunity to wave his spear, Cao Jun on both sides staggered and retreated, and Liu Chan rode his horse to charge again!
The unlucky sword and shield player was directly stepped on.

The weight of an adult horse, together with Liu Chan, a full set of black armor, and harness vest, weighs close to a ton...

Cao Jun, who had lost the command of the general, did not know the changes in the battle formation, and allowed Liu Chan to kill the Quartet in it.

And the soldiers of the Scarlet Star Army, who also lost their command, formed a killing formation on their own after they all landed, and came to support Liu Chan!

Not long after, the casualties of the Cao army ambushed by the shore were nearly [-]%, and the Cao army, which had lost its leader, finally began to collapse.

They threw away their armors and banners one after another and fled to the east valley.

"Pursue!" Liu Chan led the five hundred Red Star Army, and chased nearly a thousand Cao troops all the way, heading straight for the valley on the east side...
