The last three kingdoms

Chapter 670 Two Hundred Reinforcements
When the generals and soldiers of the Shu army near Jinguan heard the news that Liu Yin had returned to Chang'an, they immediately became overwhelmed, and felt a sense of bitterness and reward.Although the Jin army's first crossing operation was repelled, Hu Fen, who was not dead, was still collecting boats and preparing for the second crossing operation. As the water level of the Yellow River dropped, the rushing water became much calmer. , This undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of crossing the river, and from the situation on the other side, it is obvious that Hu Fen has prepared more fully than the first time, and it is difficult to predict who will win or lose in the next decisive battle. Hiro is under a lot of pressure.

But this time their hearts could be put back in their stomachs, as soon as Liu Yin's reinforcements arrived, Linjin Pass would be impenetrable, no matter how much Hu Fen tossed about, they would not be afraid at all.

Huang Chong and the others were looking forward to it, stretching their necks and waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

Linjin Pass is not too far from Chang'an, that is, a day or two away, and everyone firmly believes that reinforcements will arrive soon.

"I'm coming--"

The sharp-eyed sentry saw the dust and smoke stirring up in the distance, and excitedly reported to Huang Chong.

All the generals and soldiers of the Shu army, including Huang Chongqianhong, were refreshed, and their eyes were turned to the road to the west. They saw the dust and smoke approaching in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes could be clearly heard. Everyone was smiling. ,joyful.

Sure enough, it was the banner of the Shu Army, with the big "Han" character fluttering in the wind. They were all cavalry first, and quickly rushed to the Linjin Pass. Huang Chong's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the leader of the army was the commander of the guards beside Liu Yin. Jian, Liu Yin sent all his personal guards, Huang Chong felt relieved, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and A Jian and others were welcomed into Linjin Pass.

"Commander Ah Jian, you've worked hard." Huang Chong stepped forward to greet him, cupping his hands with a smile.

A Jian got off his horse, cupped his hands in return and said, "We are both in the revival of the Han Dynasty, so what's the hard work? General Huang sticks to Pubanjin, which is the real meritorious service. A certain general of hussars came here to reinforce General Huang in order to test just in case."

Huang Chong glanced at it, and it was clear that Ajian was leading more than two hundred people. He smiled and said, "Commander Ajian is really resolute. In fact, the situation in Pubanjin is slowing down. Commander Ajian doesn't have to be so anxious. People and horses come to help."

A Jian was slightly taken aback, and said: "A large group of people? General Huang misunderstood. General Hussars only sent me to lead the team, and there were no other people."

Huang Chong was stunned and stared at the two hundred troops in front of him. No matter what, he couldn't believe that these were the reinforcements sent by Liu Yin?
"You...you mean that the general only sent you to bring 200 people to help?"

A Jian nodded, and said solemnly: "Exactly."

Huang Chong immediately felt dizzy. On such a large battlefield as Pubanjin, the two sides have assembled nearly 200 to [-] troops here. A mere [-] people are just a drop in the bucket. Can they be called reinforcements?
Qian Hong came a little later, seeing A Jian's two hundred cavalry, he chuckled and said, "That's right, these must be the troops standing in front, I don't know when the follow-up reinforcements will arrive?"

Huang Chong said weakly: "The Hussar General only sent Commander A Jian and 200 horses to help, no one else."

This time it was Qian Hong's turn to stare. He said in astonishment, "200 people? The general is not mistaken, right? What can 200 people do?"

A Jian smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "You two generals, can you take me to the ferry for a look?"

Huang Chong and Qianhong came back to their senses, and reluctantly accepted Liu Yin's arrangement. Liu Yin's arrangement must have his reasons. After all, compared to Tongguan and Wuguan, Pubanjin is not an urgent place. If Liu Yin's troops are limited, he must first rescue Tongguan and Wuguan, which are more urgent. Pu Banjin's side can only be let go. As for the 200 people brought by A Jian, it must be Liu Yin Give some comfort to Pubanjin's defenders, the symbolic meaning is more than the actual meaning.

Huang Chong and Qianhong politely took Ah Jian to the ferry. Looking east from here, you can see everything on the other side at a glance. The ships of the Jin army are dotted around the east bank. The number is huge and spectacular.

When crossing the river for the first time, most of the ferry boats used by the Jin army were fishing boats that could only accommodate three or five people. After learning the lesson from the last time, the proportion of small fishing boats moored on the east coast has dropped significantly, and more of them are large ferries that can accommodate dozens to hundreds of people. You can even see the real battle Ship, the kind of large building boat that can accommodate thousands of people.

It is not surprising if this kind of warship is placed in the waters of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is surprising that it appears on the Yellow River. This kind of warship stands on the river channel of the Yellow River. It is obviously higher than the Yellow River embankment by a large section. I really don't know what kind of supernatural power Hu Fen has to get such a big warship?
After the failure of the first river crossing operation, Hu Fen learned from the painful experience, thinking that he still lost due to lack of preparation, so in the next time, Hu Fen did not rush for success, but expanded his efforts to raise ships. Hu Fen brought those large ships from the East China Sea. Before that, the ships of the Jin State Navy were operating in the waters of Penglai. After Hu Fen heard the news, he asked Sima Yan for orders to call in several warships to assist in the battle.

Now the strategic focus of the Jin State is to counterattack key points. As long as it is beneficial to this strategic goal, Sima Yan will not hesitate to support it. The five building boats quickly entered the Yellow River from the mouth of the Yellow River and arrived at Pubanjin.

With the guarantee of building and boats attacking, Hu Fen's confidence soared. For this reason, he made full preparations to capture Linjin Pass in a single battle.

If these buildings and boats were placed on the big rivers in the south of the Yangtze River or the East China Sea, they would definitely be nothing, but at the moment they are on the Yellow River, they are like giants. Huang Chongqianhong couldn't help feeling very disturbed when he saw this scene. It would definitely not work to fight the second battle according to the tricks used against the Jin army in the first battle. Such a building boat is not easy to deal with, and once it is allowed to dock, it will indeed be a severe test for the Shu army's river bank defense line, but In any case, the Shu army has no retreat now, and must go all out to prepare for battle.

Unlike Huang Chongqianhong's nervousness, A Jian's face was calm and cold, as if he didn't pay attention to the warships of the Jin army at all, he said to Huang Chong: "General Huang, these five buildings are just Leave it to me, and you can deal with the boat with all your strength."

Huang Chong and Qian Hong were completely stunned.
