Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters clear

On the fifth, sixth and seventh day after the flood, the situation became clearer and clearer, and the negative impact of Cao's army being trapped on the water began to be exposed.

Although they consciously occupied more high ground in the early stage, the camp size still could not accommodate all the soldiers who fled up. Many Cao army soldiers stayed in the open air for several days, and were hit by the dampness and cool breeze, and became increasingly tired. At the same time, the food and fodder in the highlands were not available, and there was no firewood to make fire. So some soldiers began to go hungry, and some soldiers tried their best to swallow raw rice and flour.

The physical weakness quickly affected the spirit. The fear brought by the flood and the grief of losing countless companions gradually became difficult to control. As time went by, the soldiers of the Cao army began to see the bulging corpses floating in the water, and began to see more and more camp furnishings that were washed down from the upstream, obviously belonging to their own side. This made them more and more frightened and began to suspect that the changes in the battle situation were not as the officers said. This suspicion made them manic and despair. In several highland camps, violent conflicts occurred between the soldiers, and even bloody swords were used.

Under such circumstances, at the beginning, the Cao and Liu armies fought on the water, in the sludge, and at the top of high grounds, and sometimes on the boats. Soon the fight became a minority. When the Jiaozhou military ships arrived, many Cao troops on the high ground began to fight internally and began to surrender on a large scale.

Even some of the strong camps that were extremely well prepared, obviously with the elite Cao army stationed, were not as difficult to attack as they were in the first place.

In the mountainous areas of Lumen Mountain and Xian Mountain, the Cao army troops scattered everywhere were wiped out one after another. At this time, what was missing was the final blow to the city blocks guarded by the main force of the Cao army. One afternoon in early August, Lei Yuan gathered the main fleet of the Jiaozhou Navy, loaded the subordinates of He Song, Ding Feng and Lei Tong, and began to attack the Paomaling of Lumen Mountain, which was lying on the Han River.

The main vein of Lumen Mountain moves east-west, and the peaks fall scattered, but Paomaling is a north-south mountain, about eight or nine miles long. At the north end of Paomaling is the mouth of the water of the water, and to the west is the Han River. There is a river beach stretching for more than ten miles in this section of the water, called Lumen Beach.

This place controls two waters and one pool, and connects the peaks of Lumen Mountain. It is located at a high level, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an excellent military fortress. On that day, Lei Yuan raided Paishan, and Cao Xiu planned to send his troops through Paomaling and go south to counterattack. Later, the counterattack failed. However, he mobilized a large amount of manpower and used the remains of the city walls left during the Xinmang period to set up strong camps on both the Taizipo and the Leigutai on Paomaling.

The ones stationed in these two camps are also elites from Cao Xiu's headquarters.

Cao Xiu thought that these two camps could be used as strongholds for Cao's army in the southern part of Lumen Mountain after the flood, and were used to echo the subsequent troops sent by the King of Wei inside and outside.

But at this time, there was only flood around Paomaling. Where was the subsequent troops of the King of Wei?

Although the water situation has begun to retreat, the Han River has not yet been exposed on Lumen Beach. At first, the river beach that the King of Wei planned to use to house the stone cart was still buried deep in the water.

When Jiaozhou military ships surrounded each other, the flat ridge about a foot wide between the platform slope and the drum platform was swept across the rainy arrows. The Cao army soldiers could not stand at all and fled to the two camps in a panic. The two places were instantly cut into an isolated state that could not echo.

The Jiaozhou army climbed the ridge and gathered a team of 100 people.

In the horrified eyes of Cao's army on both sides, the Jiaozhou army was so leisurely. After a person waded onto the water and landed, he slowly put on his armor and sorted out the rhinoceros faced by big oars, iron shields, crossbows, swords and other weapons. After a moment, they finished dressing up and then got closer together.

The soldiers in the front row held iron shields flat, and the people behind them pushed the big oars on their heads, connecting them into a piece, like a huge iron turtle, heading towards the lower Taizi slope among the two camps.

Most of the sporadic arrows and stones thrown by the Cao army soldiers were blocked by oars and shields. However, after the Jiaozhou navy ships were approaching, the selected sharpshooters stood at the bow of the ship and fired arrows from both sides, and occasionally shot Cao army soldiers who shot arrows or threw stones on the camp.

The Cao army soldiers who were shot let out a shrill scream, which spread far away from the mist in the morning.

Soon the soldiers rushed to the bottom of the camp. Although the camp was strong, it was built on the mountain after all, and it was inconvenient to transport wood and stones, so the walls were only one person high. Several soldiers in the back row turned over and jumped onto their own shield formation, stepped on the shield formation and jumped over the barrier, and chopped and slashed in the rear.

Seeing this situation, the Jiaozhou soldiers on the boat all cheered.

Only the marching Sima Wang Zuo, who was standing next to He Song, looked at his head general.

He Song nodded: "Just now, let Huang Xiaoshi go."

Wang Zuo pulled out a small flag from his waist and waved it twice.

Directly opposite the soldiers were fighting, there were more than a dozen Jiaozhou military ships parked, but they did not approach the battle. Cao's army camp faced the assault of the soldiers, and suffered arrows on both sides, so he less attention to this side. At this time, the command flag of the marching Sima moved, and dozens of soldiers jumped into the water behind the military ship and dived towards the camp.

This group of people was Huang Xiaoshi, who had the sixth song of Jia, and the barbarians of Jiaozhou under his command. Among them, Luo Ayanning from the Lianshui tribe and Luo Ke from the Snake tribe, were all warriors who were proficient in water. Dozens of people were holding their breath, approaching from underwater to the rear of the camp, and poking their heads from under the barrier close to the waterside.

At this time, the soldiers who broke into the camp on the other side were fiercely counterattacked by the enemy. The ridge behind them was narrow, making it difficult for the companions to reinforce quickly, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The Cao Army Military Academy, who was guarding this place, shouted loudly and mobilized more people to surround them.

Huang Xiaoshi poked his upper body out of the water and could hear it clearly.

When the rapid footsteps at the top of the barrier passed, he called out to everyone and quickly climbed over the barrier.

Luo Ayanning took the lead.

He has a very good water nature and claims to dare to fight with dragons. Therefore, he swam over wearing the iron armor he had given to him before, and was still full of strength.

Luo Ayanning's Lianshui tribe, who was born in the Lianshui tribe, was a citizen of the Fulou Kingdom who was once active in the deep mountains west of Jiaozhi County. When Luo Ayanning led his troops to join the army, he originally planned to be familiar with the military tactics of the Han people and then find ways to use the power of the Han people to restore the country.

However, after joining the army, his horizons broadened.

Although he had experienced many years of war, Luo Ayanning was amazed by the wealth of the Han family. The respectful status of the Han martial artists also made Luo Ayanning completely unexpected.

He found that as long as he made military achievements, the land and house rewards were at his fingertips. His comrades, even some of the soldiers at the bottom, had good land, beautiful houses, plowing oxen, and servants under the Han family, but the number was different. Many soldiers' families and relatives lived a good life that Luo Ayanning had never imagined.

Luo Ayanning once followed Huang Xiaoshi to his home in Duanxi County. He also found that many soldiers could wear gorgeous clothes and eat real cooking food after they arrived home. Their children could learn to read and calculate in the school! I heard that when these children grew up, they could become officials of the Han people and at least manage a whole Lifang. If they learn well, they would have the opportunity to meet the Han emperor and be ordered to manage a city with tens of millions of people!

Luo Ayanning gradually had new ideas.

After two years of joining the army, Luo Ayanning received his reward, and he moved his family members to Hepu County to live.

During the process of migrating the tribe, Luo Ayanning met Shi Niuan, the right thief of Hepu County. This old man was an enthusiastic person, and also had a beautiful little daughter. The moment Luo Ayanning saw Niuan's daughter, he completely gave up the idea of ​​restoring the country. He decided to be a majestic Han martial artist, marry a Han daughter, and let his tribe and descendants become respected Han people from now on!
