Chapter 675 Walk to the Shen River

At this moment, the sky has gradually cleared, the fog on the Hanshui River is hazy, and Wen Ping led the soldiers and horses, riding more than 2,000 boats on the river.

"Stop, who are you?"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout on the river ahead.

The boat in which Wen Ping was riding was in the middle of the fleet, and the fog in front of him was so thick that Wen Ping could only hear shouts, but he could not see anything.

Wen Ping asked the soldier in front of him, "What's the situation ahead?" ”

"General, there is a Shu army's river patrol warship ahead, it is a hazy warship!"

Ma Yan, who felt that Lu Xun had a conspiracy, sent a lot of soldiers and horses to patrol the river yesterday, but Wen Ping had just walked not far before he encountered the Han army's river patrol warship, fortunately, it was just a hazy rush, and there were at most 100 people on board, which did not pose any threat to him.

If the river patrol warship is a few fighting ships, it is enough to drink a pot of Wenpin, the fighting ship is a large warship, and the small boat can not compete with it at all, the fighting ship can easily sink the boat on the river, and the boat is too small, even if it is close to the fighting ship, it is difficult for the soldiers to climb on the fighting ship to kill the enemy on the ship.

However, fortunately, the Han army did not have the same wealth as Jiangdong in terms of naval forces, and the current strength of Xiakou was also a little overstretched.

"Get them out, don't waste time." Hearing that the soldiers said that the Han army had only one hazy rush, Wen Ping breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to solve the Han army's patrol team and not waste time.

Above the river, a misty warship stood in the middle of the river, and in front of it were a series of small boats, shrouded in fog, and there was no end in sight.

There were not many soldiers on the ship, only about twenty people, and at this moment, the people on the opposite side did not know whether they were friends or foes, and the fog was so thick that they couldn't see what they were wearing. These Han soldiers were all standing at the bow of the ship, their bows and arrows had been wound, and their spirits were tense, ready to fight back at any time.

The Han army commander led by him shouted: "Who are you, if you don't answer me, you will release the arrow!" ”

"Kill me!"

The Wei army got the order of Wen Ping, and did not say much nonsense, the advantage of going to the boat is fast, the Wei army rowed desperately, and in an instant several small boats surrounded the Hazy Rush warship, making the warship unable to advance or retreat.

"It's not good, it's Wei Jun!"

"Let's withdraw quickly and tell the general the news!"

When the Wei army approached, the Han army found out that this group of enemies was Wei soldiers and horses, they did not think about resisting, but retreated, if they resisted, they could only be wiped out, and they could still escape one or two when they retreated, and they told Ma Tan the information, they were scouts, they were patrol soldiers, and it was their duty to bring the information back.

Without the slightest hesitation, one by one the Han soldiers quickly discarded the bows and arrows in their hands and jumped towards the river.

However, the warships around have been misty and impassable, the Han army jumped down, most of them fell on the small boats of the Wei army, only a few lucky people successfully jumped into the water, they are the Han army's sailors, proficient in water, and now it is summer heat, diving and escaping back is not a problem.

It's a pity that those who jumped on the Wei warship were killed by the Wei army, but the Han army was not vegetarian, and a few soldiers killed the Wei soldiers before they died, and they went to Huangquan together.

The soldier reported to Wen Pingyu: "General, the Shu army has been destroyed, but a few soldiers have fled. ”

Wen Ping sighed, the Han army is proficient in water, although the soldiers he selected are familiar with water, but if they want to hunt down the Han soldiers who are proficient in water, they can't do it, so he waved his hand and said: "That's it, if you escape, you can escape, but Ma Jian must get the news soon and send troops to chase after him." The river here is narrow, and the water should not be too deep, so the excess boats will be sunk to prevent Ma Tan from getting the news and sending troops to pursue. ”

Lu Xun had already prepared, there were only 10,000 people in Wenpin, and 2,000 boats were enough, but Lu Xun gave Wenban 2,500 boats, and the extra boats were used to sink the river to prevent Ma Tan from sending troops to pursue.

The Wei soldiers quickly moved into action, gathered the extra small boats, and then jumped onto these boats, broke the bottom of the boats with their weapons, and kept shaking to speed up the seepage, and soon the extra 500 or so ships sank into the river.

Wen Ping also ordered the soldiers to destroy the warship to obtain wooden shovels, and used wooden shovels to intersperse the warships, which made it more difficult for the Han soldiers to clean up the sunken ships.

From the surface of the water, you can even see the remains of warships piled up, and Wen Ping estimated that with the hazy draft, he was afraid that he would not be able to cross from here.

And if you want to remove the remains of the warship in the river and achieve a normal state of passage, it will take at least three days to do it, because it is difficult for people to exert their strength in the water.

In addition, people can no longer stay underwater, and if they want to remove these warships, they will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, after all, this is not the era of mechanization in later generations.

After sinking the ship into the river, Wen Ping continued to lead the soldiers to sail, although the boat is small, the combat effectiveness is not high, but its speed, is even the building ship can not be compared, along the way Wen Ping encountered a lot of Han patrols, but the number of Han troops is not much, all of them have been solved by the Wei army.

On the other side of Jiangxia County, at dawn, Lu Xun led the army to retreat.

In last night's attack, Lu Xun did not send soldiers to land and fight, but only fired at each other with bows and arrows with the Han army, and both sides lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Last night, bows and arrows were shot in the middle of the night, and now the Han army's water village is full of dense arrows.

In the afternoon, Ma Jian commanded his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and rebuild the defenses, and then returned to Xiakou City to rest.

Before the buttocks were hot, a soldier came to report: "General Qiyu, there are soldiers patrolling the river over there in Hanshui!" ”

"Let them in!"

After a while, the soldier led three soldiers in, and saw that they were all wet from top to bottom, and they were all very embarrassed.

Seeing that everyone was so embarrassed, Ma Tan hurriedly asked, "How did you make this appearance, did you encounter the enemy?" ”

These soldiers are the fish that slipped through the net under Wen Ping, they met Wen Ping's soldiers and horses in the morning, swam from the water to the south bank of the Han River, and then walked dozens of miles to Xiakou, tired lungs were about to explode, a soldier panted and said: "General, we met the enemy on the river this morning!" ”

Ma Jian hurriedly said: "Quickly explain the situation to me!" ”

"This morning, we ...... "Soldiers, you and I, intermittently told Ma Tan what happened this morning.
