Heyang Zhongli City is not too far from the north bank. A dozen large and small boats carrying soldiers full of soldiers quickly rushed into the water village on the north bank.
The expected counterattack did not occur, and even because many enemy boats parked in the water village went to the river to burn the river bridge, the entire dock was empty.
The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty approached the shore without encountering any kind of obstruction. Most of the soldiers rushed to the river bank at the first time and quickly formed a battle formation near the river bank.
The reason why I say most of them is because a few small boats capsized due to poor handling, and the soldiers on board fell into the river. But this is not a big problem. The enemy here has no chance.
There was no effective counterattack organized so that they could calmly fish out their fallen companions.
Coming ashore so smoothly was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the soldiers. They suppressed their excitement, and while advancing in formation, they briefly passed the news back to the river through flags.
At this time, on the north bank of the river bridge, the river defense fortifications were still in good condition, and the construction was much more thorough and rigorous than on the south bank. After all, this was the base camp of the east-facing Heyang defense line. However, there were only scattered ones wandering between the defenses.
There are servants and soldiers, but there are no fully armed soldiers. The organic garrison is naturally just in name only.
After breaking out of the river embankment, there was a camp set up by the enemy along the river. The camp extended for several miles to Heyang Beizhong City.
At this time, the camp was also empty, with only some tents that had not yet been dismantled and messy flags left. The scene looked desolate and messy. As for the Heyang North Middle City not far away, the city gates were tightly closed.
Even though the city was closed, there were only a hundred or so defenders on top of the city, constantly wandering around and shouting, hoping to intimidate the enemy.
"Haha, these East bandits really abandoned their defense and escaped!"
Seeing this scene, the soldiers who landed on the shore were also excited. Several hundred people were left behind to guard the barracks on the river embankment, while the rest rushed towards the city under the orders of their respective commanders and generals.
"Brother, the bandit army has landed, do you want to fight out?"
At this time, Hu Lvxian, who had finished arranging his army on the hillock behind Beizhong City, turned to his brother Hu Luguang in the team and asked for instructions: "Aye is guarding the city. If we don't attack again, I'm worried that I will be disturbed!"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer! There are still more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and Aye has been in the military formation for a long time. How can he be easily disturbed by this!"
After hearing this, Hu Luguang waved his hand and said that although the enemy had taken the bait, it was not the best time to raise the line. He had always believed that either he should stay still and that as long as he took action, the enemy would be unable to counterattack.
At this time, the army of the Western Wei Dynasty had arrived below Beizhong City, and the number of defenders on the top of the city had also increased, and they all drew their bows and fired downwards.
Although the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were blocked by this attack, they did not panic. In their view, this was just the enemy's stubborn resistance and desperate struggle.
However, as the vanguard, they mainly tested the enemy's strength, so they did not carry too much ordnance. At this time, it was difficult to directly launch a strong attack on the city that the enemy was still stubbornly defending, so they first used local materials and dismantled them.
The fence timbers in the enemy's camp erected layers of obstacles around the city to prevent the enemy from breaking out and escaping. At the same time, they also sent signals to the rear asking for reinforcements, urging those behind to reinforce them as soon as possible.
At this time, there was an atmosphere of joy inside and outside Zhongli City. The people in front of them had landed so smoothly. All the people here had a panoramic view. Everyone became optimistic and anxious at the same time, hoping to set off as soon as possible.
Go north.
It should be noted that since the separation of the East and the West and the war between the two countries, the troops of the Western Dynasty have not yet invaded the land on the north bank of the river through this route. Now they took advantage of the enemy's chaos to achieve this breakthrough from zero to one, standing alone on Hebei.
The land is a great achievement, enough to go back to the country to boast and be rewarded!
At this time, Yu Wenhu did not need any further encouragement, and all the soldiers asked for battle one after another. Feeling the strong fighting spirit of the soldiers, Yu Wenhu's heart was full of pride and ambition, and he immediately ordered an additional 5,000 troops to continue the landing battle.
The crisis on the river at this time has not been completely resolved. After the enemies on the boat saw the movements of the people and horses here, they became obviously more anxious. Because they could not return before the Western Army's front men and horses, they could only stay in the river and increase the pressure.
determines the frequency with which fire ships are released downstream.
Yu Wenhu has always been looking forward to capturing Heyang Beizhong City, so he has been collecting ferry equipment very carefully. His efforts finally paid off today, allowing the army to have enough boats to cross the river and march north.
So as to seize this excellent fighter opportunity.
However, the threat of the enemy fleet upstream has not yet been resolved. In order to focus on the overall situation, Yuwenhu did not personally lead his troops to command the battle to capture Beizhong City. Instead, he took the initiative to stay in Zhongli City while continuing to dispatch troops to reinforce here and protect the river.
Bridge, and sent troops to report the battle situation to Li Bi at Baiguwu on the south bank of Luoshui River. He hoped that Li Bi could send an additional group of troops if conditions allowed, so that the war here could progress more steadily.
Everyone has their own strengths. Yu Wenhu admits that he is not a brave general who can take the lead and kill the enemy bravely, nor is he keen on gambling and taking risks like Li Boshan, but he has perseverance and perseverance.
Fighter's keen insight, perseverance and wisdom, this is Yu Wenhu's positioning of himself.
Later news came from the middle school that Daxingtai had personally led his elite troops into Tongguan. He probably planned to come to the Heqiao battlefield in person to command the battle, thereby achieving complete possession of the entire Heqiao.
My uncle probably never imagined that he was capable of capturing Heyang City on his own!
Thinking of meeting on the river bridge in the future, Yu Wenhu could not help but feel a burst of joy in his uncle's eyes when he looked at him with surprise and relief. When his eyes fell on the fleet that had docked at the pier on the other side.
, this pleasure surged out even more redoubled.
But soon, Yu Wenhu's smile froze on his face, because a group of people suddenly appeared from behind the empty Beizhong City, and the smoke and dust billowed like dark clouds and rushed towards the river bank.
That frightening pressure made Yu Wenhu, who was watching from a distance in Zhongli City, so oppressed that he could not breathe. As for the impact on the soldiers of the Western Army on the north bank, they were even more unable to resist.
Seeing the unstoppable torrent of iron hoofs rushing down, many soldiers were so frightened that they could hardly hold their weapons and fell to the ground. When they reacted, their first action was to quickly turn around and flee towards the river bank.
You can't stop them, you can't stop them at all! You can't even count how many of these ferocious cavalry there are. The swords and swords waving in their hands are each shining with a frightening light. Wherever they pass, the vegetation is destroyed, and the people are also destroyed.
No bones left!
These Eastern Wei soldiers in Beizhong City have been waiting till now. Seeing the enemy occupying their city and river bridge, their own side has been afraid to launch an attack. At this time, the enemy army has finally reached the river bank.
Naturally, I want to vent to my heart’s content!
At this time, the north bank of the river bridge was like a bloody Shura field for the soldiers of the Western Army, and it was a hunting ground for the soldiers of the Eastern Army. The killings quickly advanced from the bank to the river.
The three thousand soldiers who were the first to land ashore were almost instantly beaten to the line of the river by the enemy's turbulent iron hooves. After losing a lot of lives, they were able to rely on the enemy's defenses to gain a foothold. However, because the space for movement was blocked,
Suddenly compressed, some of the 5,000 soldiers who had been reinforced from the rear who had landed were directly squeezed and fell into the river. The rest were also in chaos, and they hurriedly tried to turn the bow of the boat and escape back.
"Quick, keep reinforcing, reinforce! Don't retreat, you will lose if you retreat!"
At this time, Yuwen Huyan saw the tragic scene of fighting on the other side. He was shocked for a moment, but soon he shouted like a gambler who lost his bet to continue to increase his bets, urging the left-behind troops to continue boarding the ship for reinforcements, sending reinforcements.
I hope to invest more troops to fight back.
However, it was obvious that what they had seen before was a trick by the enemy, and any reinforcements now would only be in vain to fill the bottomless pit with human lives. As the enemy cavalry ambushed on the other bank rushed out, the enemy cavalry who had been wandering on the upper river surface
The military fleet also aimed its bow at the river bridge and rushed towards it with the help of the current.
"Can't save, can't save..."
The two remaining governors rushed forward and tried to control Yuwenhu, who was already a little irrational. However, Yuwenhu struggled and yelled: "Someone can be saved, some can be saved! Also, there is Li Taiwei, Li Taiwei,
The Taiwei is in Baiguwu and will definitely arrive in time. He will definitely..."
Along with Yuwen Hu's self-narcotic roar, the Western Wei soldiers on the shore had been killed. Although some of the manned boats successfully turned around and rushed out of the dock and returned to the river, a large group of people from the Eastern Wei Dynasty had also boarded them.
The remaining boats chased after them, heading straight towards Zhongli City.
Bang, bang!
Violent crashes were heard from the river bridge deck. This was because the defenders were too panicked to resist, causing the enemy boats upstream to hit the river bridge. This violent roar further aggravated the panic of the defenders.
Many people could no longer bear it and fled towards the south bank of the river bridge.
"It's too late, hurry up, escort Zhongshan Gong to evacuate!"
Although the enemy boats on the other side were still several miles away from Zhongli City, as the defenders on the river bridge in the south fled and landed ashore, the situation in the city became difficult to control. Seeing that the river bridge was crumbling due to bombardment, the soldiers also
Not daring to risk staying here any longer, he dragged Yu Wenhu, who was already ashen-faced, and rushed out of the city on the river island. He took advantage of the fact that the river bridge had not been captured by the enemy and fled straight to the south.
"Charge quickly, charge quickly! Don't give the enemy a chance to land and stand in formation, take back the two cities in one fell swoop!"
Hu Luguang stood on the deck of the warship. When he saw a large number of figures fleeing southward on the river bridge, he shouted orders repeatedly.
