Chapter 431 The Battle of Wanshui

Cheng Pu led the main force to follow He Qi's vanguard [-] miles away on the east bank of the Wanshui River. In fact, there was no need for rocket warning. Soon after Jiang Xia's army launched an ambush, Cheng Pu got the news and immediately ordered the army to move forward quickly. OK, and ordered the accompanying fifty small boats to quickly build a pontoon bridge, and the army rushed to support the forward.

More than a dozen rockets soared into the sky in the distance, the night sky was extremely bright and dazzling, the brigade of the Jiangdong army was running fast in the darkness, and the black crowd ran along the river bank to the south. Fifty small boats were about a dozen or so away to the south. Tie the ropes with iron chains, put them side by side, and quickly build a pontoon bridge.

The ambush on the west bank of Wanshui has been going on for a quarter of an hour. The Jiangdong Army is in disarray. More than half of the soldiers were killed or fled. The ground is full of horribly killed corpses.

Only the [-] spear troops led by He Qi were desperately resisting the Jiang Xia army's attacks, and they couldn't hold on any longer. Veteran Huang Zhong took the lead, brandishing a big knife to cut a bloody road, breaking through the strict formation of the spear troops , the spear army was split in two, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Jiangxia army twice as large as itself.

After Huang Zhong led his army into the enemy army, he discovered something strange. The enemy army pretended to be the main force, but in fact there were only 5000 people. This was obviously a decoy. To, and the possibility of the latter is extremely high.

For this reason, Huang Zhong only led 6000 spearmen to encircle and wipe out the spearmen, and the remaining [-] people assembled in the rear, preparing to meet the main force of the enemy army that was about to be killed.

Huang Zhong broke through He Qi's core formation several times in order to kill the enemy's main general, but five hundred of He Qi's personal soldiers resisted desperately, so Huang Zhong failed to enter several times. At this time, Huang Zhong also felt a little anxious.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from the north. Huang Zhong reined in his horse in surprise and looked north. A soldier stumbled and rushed to report, "Report to the old general, the main force of the enemy army is coming from the north. The momentum is huge, brother!" They resisted extremely hard, General Mo asked the old general to quickly command."

Huang Zhong expected the main force of the enemy army to come from the north, but the tenacious resistance of the enemy vanguard was beyond Huang Zhong's expectation. The two thousand spearmen were like an extremely hard stone, which could not be hit Huang Zhong was a little worried that his army might be in danger of being attacked by the enemy. At this time, Huang Zhong had no time to think about it, so he turned his horse and ran northward.

To the north is an open field about two miles wide. Tens of thousands of people are fighting desperately in this field. The sound, the cracking sound of bone shattering, the screams before dying, the bloody and pungent battlefield, especially tragic.

Cheng Pu led the main force of the Jiangdong army to press forward, and the Jiangxia army was outnumbered and retreated steadily. At this time, the more than [-] spear troops and [-] defeated soldiers in the south began to counterattack under the gathering of deputy general He Qi, and attacked from behind. Jiang Xia's army formed a front and rear attack, and the situation of Jiang Xia's army became critical.

At this extremely critical moment, the drums from the north were loud again. Zhao Yun led [-] troops to attack from the north. There was a great chaos behind Cheng Pu's army. He jumped over the heads of dozens of enemy soldiers and charged into the dense enemy group. He stabbed Jiangdong soldiers with silver guns like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, killing Jiangdong soldiers' corpses all over the field and wailing all over the ground.

Where Zhao Yun pointed his gun, Jiangdong's soldiers all fled in anticipation of the wind. The [-] soldiers behind him were divided into [-] teams and followed him closely, breaking through the defensive positions of the rear army. The formation of the army began to become chaotic.

Cheng Pu was furious, and swung his knife to kill the retreating soldiers. He killed dozens of people in a row, and ordered: "Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

Under Cheng Pu's command, the Jiangdong Army stabilized their position, and Cheng Pu dispatched another three thousand archers to meet Zhao Yun who was rushing towards him. The enemy's arrows were too fierce, and hundreds of shield soldiers rushed forward and raised their shields to form a shield wall.

At this time, Zhao Yun realized that he was charging too hard, and the troops were somewhat out of touch, and the enemy's position had stabilized, so he stopped charging, turned around and shouted: "Steady your position, and fight in formation!"

'Woo--' the low-pitched horn blew on the battlefield, and the ten thousand Jiangxia army began to reassemble, divided into three wings in the east, middle and west, and launched an attack on the enemy.

.........

Huang Zhong, who was several miles away, also heard the sound of the horn. The first ray of sunlight had burst out from the east, illuminating the earth. In the bloody dawn, Huang Zhong saw Zhao Yun's banner from a distance. He was overjoyed. Shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, and we will win this battle!"

He raised his knife again and shouted, "We will win!"

"Definitely!"

Thousands of soldiers of the Jiangxia Army cheered, their morale was high, and they launched a massive counterattack against the Jiangdong Army. In the wilderness on the west bank of the Wanshui River, horns wailed, gold and iron horses, and tens of thousands of people on both sides fought a life-and-death battle for victory.

In the melee, the two armies compete for the number of troops, the command of the general, the bravery of the general, the training of the army, the combat experience, the strength of the soldiers, the high morale, and the right time and place. will be the cause of failure.

Although the Jiangdong Army has more troops than the Jiangxia Army, the 10,000 Jiangxia Army is actually selected from the [-]+ Chibi surrendered soldiers. The combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Under the front and rear attacks of the Huang Zhong Army and Zhao Yun Army, Jiangdong Army The army was gradually at a disadvantage, and as time went by, this disadvantage in combat power became more and more obvious. After an hour, the Jiangdong Army began to show signs of being exhausted.

But at the same time, Huang Gai's army was also facing He Qi's army's attack from behind, and they were gradually unable to hold on. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the two armies were in a terrifying balance. It just depends on who can't hold on first. , to break this balance.

The fuse that broke this balance appeared on the right wing of the Jiangdong Army. Since this Jiangdong Army is composed of [-] Kuaiji Army and [-] Soochow Army, and there are [-] Shanyue people in the Kuaiji Army, in normal times, they are the same as the ordinary Jiangdong Army. There is no difference between soldiers, but at the time of life and death, the interests of the Shanyue tribe surpassed the interests of Jiangdong, and the Shanyue people were no longer willing to die for Jiangdong.

The [-] Shanyue soldiers had killed more than [-] people. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, more than a dozen Shanyue tribe generals lost their fighting spirit and led the rest of the Shanyue tribe to leave the battlefield first. Thousands of people rushed to the pontoon bridge and retreated to the other side of the river.

The retreat of the Shanyue people made the right wing of the Jiangdong Army unbalanced, and finally triggered the defeat of the Jiangdong Army across the board. It was like an avalanche. More and more soldiers of the Jiangdong Army joined the ranks of fleeing. Morale finally collapsed. Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers shouted Shouting, scrambling to escape to the pontoon bridge.

The pontoon bridge is narrow and can only accommodate a hundred people to pass through at the same time. In the chaos, countless people were squeezed into the Wanshui River, but more people took off their armor and weapons and jumped into the water to escape.

Cheng Pu repeatedly ordered the soldiers to hold their ground, but his voice was drowned out by the soldiers' shouts of fear. Seeing that the situation was over, Cheng Pu couldn't help but sigh, "It's not my fault!"

At this moment, Zhao Yun led more than a thousand soldiers to attack like a storm, only a few dozen steps away from Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu's hundreds of soldiers saw that the enemy was coming fiercely and could not resist, they surrounded Cheng Pu and fled eastward.

The pontoon bridge was jammed with hundreds of defeated soldiers, everyone was scrambling to be the first, crowding and stamping desperately, making the speed of crossing the bridge extremely slow. Seeing that the situation was critical, Cheng Pu's soldiers rushed forward with a shout, stabbed with knives and spears, and killed countless Jiangdong soldiers. He cut a bloody road on the pontoon bridge, escorted Cheng Pu, rushed across the pontoon bridge, and fled in the direction of Wan County.

At the same time, He Qi, who was fighting in the south, also saw that the situation was not good, so he turned his horse and fled south.

The Jiangxia army chased and killed all the way, killing the dead bodies of the Jiangdong army everywhere, and countless surrenders. In this battle, the Jiangdong army killed more than 5000 enemies and captured 2000 enemies. Although the Jiangxia army also lost nearly [-] people, it was finally Win the battle of Wanshui.

........

Cheng Pu fled all the way for dozens of miles, and he calmed down a little when he saw that there were no pursuers. After a while, groups of defeated soldiers began to flee one after another. Cheng Pu ordered his men to gather the defeated soldiers. At this time, General Jiang Qin led hundreds The defeated soldiers fled, and he said angrily: "Captain, today's defeat was caused by the Shanyue people leaving the battlefield without authorization, and they must be reported to Marquis Wu for severe punishment!"

Cheng Pu was in a state of confusion. Although the Shanyue people fled the battlefield without authorization as an excuse to exonerate him, he was more worried about the consequences of the failure of this battle. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Let's talk about it! County, try to keep food in Wan County."

After half an hour, the number of defeated soldiers who escaped was less and less. Cheng Pu ordered people to count them, and finally got only [-] soldiers, which was much lower than his expectation. retreat.

Unexpectedly, a few miles away from Wan County, Jiang Qin fled back with an arrow wound, he took more than 200 people and only less than [-] remained, Cheng Pu was surprised and asked quickly: "What's going on? "

"Captain, Jiang Xia's army has already occupied Wan County, but they pretended to open the city gate to lure us into the city. I found out in time, but we were still attacked by bows and arrows."

Cheng Pu was at a loss, Wan County was lost, how could they retreat to Jiangdong without food, should they be allowed to loot villages along the way?

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "Captain, the pursuers are coming!"

Cheng Pu turned his head and saw a few miles away on the other side of the river, a Jiang Xia army of thousands of people was chasing here, and he heard shouting from a distance: "Don't leave Cheng Pu!"

And two miles ahead was a bridge, Cheng Pu was anxious and panicked, he didn't care about the food issue, he urged his horse to flee eastward, and the three thousand Jiangdong troops fled eastward with him...

Five days later, Liu Jing's commendation order was sent to Wan County, and Huang Zhong was named General Bo, Zhao Yun was named General of Zhonglang, Lou Fa was named Captain of Jiang Yong, and the rest of the generals who participated in the battle were rewarded. Lead the army to continue the eastward march.

Zhao Yun then led [-] troops and continued to march eastward. From Lujiang County to the east, another [-] miles would enter Danyang County. Danyang County was already the core area of ​​Jiangdong. Jingkou, the capital of Jiangdong, was located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Danyang County.
