The last three kingdoms

Chapter 765
At dawn, the Shu army had completely controlled the Jundu Ferry, but a more severe battle environment was waiting for them. Not to mention that Liu Yannian of Zuoguo City would rush to Jundu as soon as he received the news, just to deploy The Xiongnu soldiers along the Yellow River will also quickly launch a counterattack. For A Jian's team, successfully completing the smuggling is only the first step, and the real test is yet to come.

A rocket signal was sent to the west bank, and the pontoon troops, ten miles away from Jundu, will rush to Jundu according to the original plan, and build a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, and the first army preparing to cross the river is also gaining momentum Ready to go, they will rush to Jundu as quickly as possible.

And the follow-up troops no longer hid their whereabouts, but rushed towards the Jundu ferry with great fanfare.The current war machine of the Shu army is already proceeding in an orderly manner according to the established plan, but according to the fastest progress, if the large troops of the Shu army want to complete the crossing of the river, it will take at least 24 hours or even [-] hours. If it is possible to complete it, then this period of time will be the time when Jian's team will face the greatest difficulty.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield, A Jian mainly collected weapons. In order to control the load of the squad when swimming, the dry food and weapons carried were already the minimum value. After the Huns at the ferry were wiped out, the Shu army could get some The supplement of food, grass and weapons will be of great help to the battle in the next day or two.

The air in the early morning is exceptionally fresh, and the rising sun also brings some warmth of spring. The quiet and quiet environment is extremely comfortable and comfortable, but A Jian turns a blind eye to all these. He is originally a person who doesn't know much about life and enjoyment In his veins, there is only the surging blood, and A Jian calmly arranges the battle position, making the final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Hegekun is a commander of a thousand commanders who is in charge of the defense of the entire east bank of the Yellow River. The section of the river that Hegekun is in charge of is dozens of miles long, which forced him to disperse more than 1000 men under his command and set up defenses at various defense points. Divide troops to garrison, and Jundu is the most important point. Hegekun arranged more than 200 people to defend here, but he himself was stationed at Xingyue Bay ten miles away, and did not stay at Jundu.

It was an hour after Hegekun got the news that the military crossing had been lost, shock was written all over his face. In his opinion, this was almost unbelievable. Now it is the spring flood season of the Yellow River, and the water is turbulent. Even in the daytime, It is not easy to cross the river, and crossing the river at night is simply unimaginable.Although the Huns were stationed on the bank of the river, they were not at all prepared for a surprise attack by the Shu army at night, so the Shu army easily broke through the line of defense.

The people under his command immediately proposed to Hegekun to report to Liu Yannian, the commander of Zuoguo City, but when Hegekun learned that the total number of Shu troops crossing the river was only a hundred or so, he temporarily gave up reporting to Liu Yannian.

To put it bluntly, the fall of the Jundu Ferry was caused by Hegekun’s negligence. Even if Liu Yannian sent reinforcements to recapture the ferry, Hegekun would not be able to get the credit, but Hegekun was responsible for the fall. According to the military regulations of the Xiongnu army, Hegekun would be dismissed from office at least, and his head would fall to the ground at worst.

If Hegekun can fight back to regain the ferry, the situation will be different. At that time, Hegekun can claim that the Shu army was forced to cross the Yellow River and was defeated by him. But a great credit, maybe I can be promoted this time, so why not do such a best-of-both-worlds move.

Anyway, according to the agreement, Hegekun will quickly report to Zuoguo City about the ferry before the end of the day. As long as Hegekun wipes out this centurion of the Shu army before dark, all faults can be covered up. Gotta lose.

As for whether he is sure, in Hegekun's view, he still has at least a thousand men under his command, which is ten times the enemy's. Don't fight such a battle too easily.

Hegekun quickly assembled all his subordinates. Although Hegekun is a commander, it is reasonable to say that his staff should have 1000 people, but in view of the long defense line along the Yellow River, Liu Yannian temporarily gave Hegekun Kundo sent 300 people, so although A Jian killed all the 100 Hun soldiers near the ferry, Hege Kun's men still had more than [-] people, except for the few people who had to be left in each camp , Heg Kun almost came out in full force.

The two sides quickly entered into a confrontation. Compared with Hege Kun's [-]-man brigade, A Jian's [-]-man squad was much smaller, but A Jian had already seized the favorable terrain and was ready to fight.

Because the gunpowder might become damp when crossing the river, A Jian did not carry firearms such as bamboo tube grenades this time, but he was still equipped with a lot of Yuanrong crossbows. When the Huns rushed up, they were first hit by Yuanrong crossbows.

The mighty force of ten arrows caught the Huns off guard. Before they could get close to the Shu army, the Huns rushing to the front row fell to the ground one after another, causing many casualties.

Hegekun originally thought that his [-]-man brigade could easily break through the Shu army's defense line with just one round of attack, but he didn't expect the Shu army's continuous crossbow to form a death fan on the front line in an instant, allowing Cyclonus to rush forward The Xiongnu soldiers suffered a head-on blow.

Moreover, the favorable terrain occupied by the Shu army also restricted the offensive of the Huns. Now the Shu army is leaning against the Yellow River, with steep cliffs on the left and right sides. The Huns' attack can only be limited to this area to the east. The area is relatively open, and it is more than enough for a thousand Huns to attack at the same time, but the Shu army has no worries about being surrounded.

Hegekun's first wave of attack failed, so he immediately adjusted his tactics, using more shield soldiers, and strengthened the counterattack of the archers. The thousand-man brigade once again pressed towards the ferry.

This time the Huns' offensive strategy was more effective, and they quickly received the front of the Shu army's position.

A Jian's face was solemn, the enemy rushed up, and the next step would be hand-to-hand combat. This kind of battle was also expected by A Jian. Now the follow-up troops of the Shu army have arrived at the west bank and started to build pontoon bridges. At the most critical moment, whether the Shu army can successfully cross the east depends on A Jian's centurion.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and now they have no way out, only by holding on can they win the final victory. "Fight!" This is the most bold oath of the [-]-man squad of the Shu Army.
