Just when Wu Yi was commanding the soldiers to cross the river, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang came to the front of the formation, looked at the soldiers falling into the water in front of the river, and frowned.
"Old General!" Zhuge Liang asked: "Can we survive Hongnong today?"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister!" Wu Yi slapped his chest and said with certainty: "Today our army will definitely attack Hongnong City."
"Okay!" Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty is leading the troops to conquer this time in order to win quickly.
Our army must not stay at the Hongnong River for too long."
Zhuge Liang is already seventy-two years old this year. If the emperor wants a quick victory, he actually doesn't want to defeat Hongnong quickly.
Hongnong is the gateway to Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei. Once you pass Hongnong, Luoyang is just around the corner. If Luoyang is conquered, Cao Wei will be destroyed.
Of course,
Also, the reason for launching an army to attack Wei in advance this time was because the court received news that Cao Wei had developed gunpowder, and he and Liu Chan had the same idea.
Once Cao Wei has gunpowder, it won't be long before Cao Wei will also have advanced weapons such as rocket launchers.
Absolutely not.
Cao Wei must not be allowed to possess firearms.
Because on the battlefield of Soochow, Zhuge Liang had already seen the power of firearms. Once Cao Wei also had firearms, the Han Dynasty would have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to destroy Wei and unify the world.
While Zhuge Liang and Wu Yi were talking, the third batch of soldiers had entered the Hongnong River. Counting on the river, the number of Han troops was close to seven or eight thousand.
"Speed up!"
"Quick!"
The soldiers in the river kept shouting loudly, the crossbows on both sides of the river kept roaring, and the entire battlefield kept making violent explosions.
Seeing more and more Han troops entering the river and rowing quickly to the east of the river, Wen Qin at the head of Hongnong City was really worried.
The Han army must not be allowed to cross the river.
Absolutely not!
Just when Wen Qin was anxious,
There are already hundreds of Han troops driving the raft.
Already arrived at the east bank beach.
"Kill!"
On the hillside behind the river beach,
Wen Yang pointed his spear and immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare to block the Han army that was about to land.
"Archer!"
"Shoot!"
On the edge of the hillside, a Wei army general shouted loudly.
It’s over.
The Han army would soon cross the river bank. Even though there were thousands of Wei troops deployed on the hillside on the east bank, Wen Qin knew that these thousands of people could not stop the Han army at all.
Because the Han army's bed crossbows accelerated the bombing intensity.
Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang bang.
The explosion was loud and loud.
Wen Yang led more than a thousand Wei troops and stood at the top of the mountain. Behind him was an open field, and more than a thousand steps away was Hongnong City.
Wen Yang's idea is very simple. The rocket launchers of the Han army cannot reach their place. This is the only way for the Han army to pass after crossing the river. They are condescending. Although there are only a thousand Wei troops, they can block several times their own.
of enemy troops.
"Go!"
"Kill me!"
The Han troops who were the first to board the river beach rushed towards the nearby hillside like wolves and tigers.
As long as they climb up this low hillside, they can rush to the foot of Hongnong City.
Bang bang bang.
The hillside ahead continued to explode, and many Wei troops were blown away from the hillside.
Good thing!
With rear artillery cover, this is an excellent opportunity for them to climb the mountain.
Seeing that the leading troops of the Han army wanted to climb the mountain, the archers of the Wei army on the hillside did not care about the Han army in the river. They aimed their bows and arrows at the Han army who was trying to climb the mountain.
This also made the Han army in the river more calm, so they accelerated their advance. They wanted to rush over and quickly land ashore.
Standing on the west bank of the river, Wu Yi finally saw a smile on his face.
"Prime Minister!" Wu Yi was overjoyed: "We're ashore, we're ashore!"
Then he shouted to the crossbowmen not far away: "Keep shooting, relieve the pressure on the soldiers who have landed, and kill the Wei army's archers for me."
"No!"
The crossbowmen immediately agreed and increased their shooting speed.
In order to defend the Hongnong River, the Wei army deployed three lines of defense on the east bank. The first line was archers halfway up the mountain, about two thousand people.
The second line of defense is more than fifty three-bow crossbows located at the top of the mountain. They are responsible for long-range suppression and preventing Han soldiers from entering the river; behind them is a slope with more than a thousand Wei soldiers guarding the exit.
.
After the Han army landed, the threat of bed crossbows was gone, because these bed crossbows could only attack from a distance, and they were completely unable to attack the soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
What threatens them now is the archers halfway up the mountain.
Therefore, after receiving Wu Yi's order, the Han army's bed crossbows adjusted their direction, and more than ten bed crossbows aimed their shooting targets at the archer positions halfway up the mountain.
Bang bang bang, bang bang, bang.
As bursts of explosions rang out on the mountainside, the archers who wanted to shoot at the Han troops who had ascended quickly rolled down and fell into the river.
The Han troops who landed on the beach struck while the iron was hot, howling and screaming, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain along the narrow path.
This section of the mountain road is not high. If there are no obstacles, they can reach the top of the mountain in just a cup of tea.
At this time, the archers were already covered by artillery fire. Although there were some scattered shots, they did not pose much of a threat to the Han troops who had landed.
SNSD——
When the Wei army on the top of the mountain saw the Han army climbing to the top, Wen Yang immediately took the lead and led more than a thousand Wei troops to rush over. When he saw the Han army climbing to the top, he slashed and killed them.
"Kill!"
"Kill them."
"Go!"
In an instant, shouts of killing were everywhere on the top of the mountain. The Han and Wei armies were shouting to kill and rushing towards each other. On top of Hongnong City not far away, Wen Qin became even more nervous.
I can't stop it...I can't stop it...
But at this moment, a soldier ran up from the city in a hurry.
"Fu Jun! Fu Jun!"
The soldier was a little excited, out of breath, and said happily: "Reinforcements...reinforcements have arrived."
"Really!" Wen Qin was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "Reinforcements are really coming?"
After learning that the Han army had left Tongguan a few days ago, Wen Qin had already sent people to Luoyang to inform the court that the Han army was going to war with the Wei Dynasty.
I have been waiting for four or five days.
He believed that the imperial court would definitely send reinforcements. After all, if Hongnong was lost, Luoyang would be in danger, and Hongnong was the gateway to Luoyang.
"Really!" Xiao Bing said with certainty: "The reinforcements are less than twenty miles away from Hongnong."
"Okay!" Wen Qin was overjoyed and asked casually: "Who is leading the army?"
The soldier said happily: "General Zhennan Guanqiu Jian!"
"Hahaha, it's Zhong Gong, it's Zhong Gong!" Wen Qin was a little excited. At present, there are not many large armies in the Wei Dynasty that can conquer and fight well, and Guan Qiu Jian Wu Zhong Gong is one of them.
"Send the order!"
Wen Qin immediately shouted: "Send five thousand troops immediately to help Wen Yang."
Guanqiu Jian is here. He now has enough troops to resist the Han army's attack. Even if the Han army has rocket launchers, he is confident that he can hold the Han army to the west of the Hongnong River.
"No!"
A middle-aged general immediately agreed, and then led five thousand elite soldiers and rushed towards Wenyang in Kaicheng. As he charged, he shouted loudly: "Major General, I am here to help you!"
During the fierce battle, Wen Yang was inexplicably excited when he heard the shouts from behind him, and immediately shouted loudly: "Kill me, kill me!"
In an instant, the morale of the Wei army at the top of the mountain was greatly shaken.
