"Fire the arrow!"

"Second team, let go!"

When Zhao Hongrun arrived at the location where Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao were, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao were commanding their soldiers to use Lu heavy crossbows to shoot at the Chu warships in the Hui River, intending to destroy and sink them.

These enemy warships.,Chinese,novel...

However, those Chu warships were very cunning. Seeing that they were ambushed by the enemy, they simply abandoned the three warships at the front of the team and let these three warships stand in front to attract firepower. The following warships

He hid behind three warships, trying to force his way through the Wei army's blockade in this formation.

Seeing this, Gao Kuo felt secretly resentful and immediately ordered his men to stop shooting.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

Gao Kuo thought very well. He planned to shoot these Chu warships from the side when they passed their ambush point.

In this way, the idea of ​​abandoning three of the Chu warships to save the rest would be impossible.

However, when those warships were about to pass where Gao Kuo and others were, countless crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the decks of the ships.

Seeing this, Zhongzhao was shocked and immediately shouted: "Be careful of arrows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw arrows firing from the Chu warships.

For a moment, the Wei army on the river bank was in chaos.

"Be careful to avoid! Avoid!"

"Fire the crossbow bolt! Shoot the crossbow bolt!"

The Wei army on the river bank braved the baptism of arrows and forced nearly two hundred heavy crossbows that had already been loaded with crossbow bolts, pulled the trigger and fired the crossbow bolts.

And when they hoped to load the crossbow bolts and launch another wave, those Chu warships had already rushed over quickly with the help of wind and current.

"Damn it!" Gao Kuo hammered the tree trunk next to him with a look of regret on his face.

Beside him, almost most of the hundreds of Wei troops were injured in the rain of arrows just now. Fortunately, Chu's arrows had relatively backward arrow clusters. Even if they hit the human body, they would not be killed on the spot. As long as the arrow clusters were dug out,

Then apply Sanchuan's specialty herbal ointment, and you will be able to recover in three or two days.

Only those unlucky ones who were shot directly in the head, heart and other fatal parts could not be saved.

"Ta-da."

The sound of horse hoofbeats came from far and near. Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao turned their heads and glanced warily. Only then did they see His Highness leading Zong Wei and Su Wang Wei here.

"Your Highness."

Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao immediately walked quickly to Zhao Hongrun's mount and saluted with clasped fists.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun frowned and glanced at the wounded everywhere, and asked in a tight voice: "Where are Chu's warships?"

Hearing this, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao looked at each other and said in a low voice: "I failed His Highness's entrustment... I was rushed over by Chu Chuan."

Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply after hearing this, and immediately asked: "How many ships are there?!"

Seeing this, Gao Kuo clasped his fists and replied: "There are twenty-three large warships, four of which have almost sunk, and the remaining 80% of the cabins have been severely damaged. Only...only five of them are unscathed."

Five ships?

Zhao Hongrun's face became a little ugly, but seeing Gao Kuo's guilty expression on his face, he couldn't bear to scold the two Zongwei anymore. He immediately turned back to the Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao and said: "Wei Jiao, send the signal and call the downstream.

Suspend crossing the river!”

"Yes!" Wei Jiao clasped his fists and accepted the order, then took a bugle from his horse and blew a rapid bugle sound.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Huh?

I saw that at the section of the Huihe River where the Wei army was crossing the river, Qu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling army, heard the military bugle warning sound coming from the upstream direction, and his expression changed slightly.

No, not all the Chu ships were destroyed upstream...

Thinking of this, Qu Cheng rode his horse to the river bank, used his scabbard sword to block several Wei troops who were still about to step onto the pontoon bridge, and then shouted to the crowded Wei troops: "Yanling Army, Shang Shui Army, obey the order.

, the whole army retreats twenty steps!"

Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army who was also on the bank of the river, noticed Qu Cheng's unusual behavior and was slightly startled. He subconsciously turned his head to look upstream of the Hui River and shouted at the same time: "Shang Shui Army, obey General Qu.

Order, take twenty steps back!"

After hearing this, the soldiers of Yanling Army and Shangshui Army retreated twenty steps. However, the Wei Army who had already stepped onto the pontoon bridge could not retreat in time.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of countless Wei soldiers, a fleet appeared in the upper reaches of the Huihe River.

It can be seen that this fleet has suffered a devastating blow. Most of the warships are tilted, half-sinking and half-floating, and are drifting this way.

Oops...brothers on the boardwalk!

Countless Wei soldiers felt nervous and looked at the pontoon with blue faces.

At this time, no one shouted: "Run!"

Immediately, the Wei troops on the north bank of the Huihe River all raised their voices to warn the Wei troops on the floating bridge.

In fact, at this moment, those Wei soldiers who were running fast on the pontoon bridge also noticed the threat from the upper reaches of the Huihe River, and they ran as fast as they could.

But even so, some Wei soldiers were still dragged down by their own journey.

At this time, the Chu warships had arrived at the pontoon, and it was vaguely possible to see that the first ship of the fleet, which had mostly sunk, had a Chu general holding the mast on the bow of the ship.

Mu, with a ferocious look on his face, shouted: "Crash him over!"

"Boom"

With a loud noise, the pontoon bridge on the Huihe River was smashed to the ground. Hundreds of Wei soldiers who could not escape fell into the water and were swept downward by the turbulent river water.

At the same time, on the side of the Chu warships, the five warships at the front of the team sank on the spot, and the following ships were also on the verge of sinking.

During this period, countless Wei troops turned their heads unbearably.

The battlefield was like this. In just a blink of an eye, they lost hundreds of their comrades.

However, this was not the time to show mercy, because the crossbowmen on the Chu warships had already fired a wave of arrows towards the river bank.

"Arrow attack! Arrow attack!"

Several of the 3,000-strong Wei army generals immediately shouted to their soldiers to dodge the arrows or use their shields to block them.

At the same time, the crossbowmen on the Wei army's side also launched a counterattack against the Chu warships on the river.

However, in just one moment of meeting each other, these Chu warships that had not yet sunk had already gone downstream along the river.

The Wei army was counting the losses while pushing out two other pontoon bridges of the same type. There were three of them on the Wei army side alone. The reason why they did not take them all out at the beginning was to prevent the Chu navy in the Hui River area from forcefully colliding with them in this way.

Destroy the floating bridge.

And now, since these Chu warships have passed the Wei army and went down the river to harm the Qi-Lu coalition army and the Qi army on the east route, then the Wei army must seize the time and race against time to forcefully cross the Huihe River.

After all, there were only a few thousand Wei troops on the south bank of the Hui River, but they were desperately resisting the Chu troops that were pouring in like a tide.

"boom"

"boom"

The two pontoon bridges were pushed down the Huihe River one after another.

Seeing this, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji each pulled out their swords from their waists, pointed them to the other side of the river, and shouted in unison: "The whole army...cross the river!"

"Whoa whoa!"

Tens of thousands of Wei troops were not shaken by the scene just now. With weapons in their arms, they stepped onto the pontoon bridge one after another and rushed to the other side of the river.

During this period, some careless Wei soldiers would slip into the water at any time, but whether it was the Yanling Army or the Shangshui Army, the eyes of these soldiers did not change at all. Their goal was only one: to rush to the other side of the river!

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Follow up! Keep up!"

For a whole quarter of an hour, the Wei army used the two pontoon bridges to cross the Hui River without stopping.

During this period, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji were sweating coldly.

Because at this time, if another Chu fleet is dispatched from the upper reaches of the Hui River, it will be all over, because the iron locks blocking the river are not effective at all. Once a Chu boat swoops down from the upper reaches with the force of flowing water, these two

The unstable pontoon was destroyed immediately.

And these two pontoon bridges are the last two pontoon bridges on Wei Jun's side.

If it is destroyed by the Chu army, then the Wei army's plan to forcefully cross the Huihe River today will only end in failure.

Fortunately, no warships rushed downstream from the upper reaches of the Huihe River, so that the Wei army finally crossed the Huihe River without any danger.

However, Qu Cheng and Wu Ji later learned that there was actually a second wave of ships dispatched in the upper reaches of the Huihe River. However, this time the fleet was smaller in number, with only a dozen warships, so they were included in the attack.

The two used nearly two hundred Lu heavy crossbows to sink them on the spot.

Forty thousand Yanling troops, 40,000 Shang Shui troops, and as many as 80,000 Wei troops finally set foot on the land on the south bank of the Huihe River without any danger.

The first thing these Wei troops did after setting foot on the land on the south bank was to quickly organize their formations to support the friendly forces in front.
