After thinking for a while, Xu Maogong said: "Lord, although Cao Pi forcibly grabbed the people to fill the army, although there are 500,000 people, they are just ants and soldiers, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough our army has few soldiers, we bring elites, all of whom are warriors of a hundred battles, and we can use one as ten. ”

Liu Bowen said: "But there is still a need to fight, so as not to unify the order and the people become soldiers after a long time of training!" ”

However, Li Yi said: "Those strong men are all forced, they are actually just ordinary people!" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, if you pick up a weapon, you are the enemy!" ”

Li Yi had no choice but to obey his words, so he ordered Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci to camp in the east and west of Xiacai. And Li Yi himself personally led the main army to be stationed in Xia Cai.

Li Yi ordered the army to collect boats, make rafts, and plan to force the crossing of Huaishui at the same time on the first afternoon of the first day of September.

Although the Northern Xinjiang Army had a strong navy, it was difficult for naval ships to reach the Xiacai line because of the many strongholds of the Cao Army along the Huaishui route and the limited navigation capacity of the Huaishui.

………………

On the first day of September, Li Yi led an army of 100,000 to the north bank of Huaishui. I saw that there were many camps on the opposite side, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. The voices are full of voices, and there is really a bit of momentum.

Gradually, at noon, Li Yi stationed on the shore of Ma, looked at the countless rafts and boats on the shore, and ordered: "The banner is not ready to attack it, and the whole army will quickly enter and exit its surprise!" ”

As a result, 30,000 northern Xinjiang troops began to cross the river in small boats and rafts.

In just a few breaths, the river in the north of Huaishui was occupied by thousands of boats and rafts.

At the same time, the Northern Xinjiang Army on the east and west sides of Xia Cai was also launched. In the entire Huaishui, there are more than 2,000 boats and rafts crossing the river at the same time, and the momentum is not insignificant!

When the northern army crossed the river halfway, the sound of bangzi on the south bank resounded.

Xiahou Yuan personally led the troops to arrive, and when he saw the Northern Xinjiang Army sneaking across the Huai River, he immediately transferred archers to release arrows.

The sound of buzzing open bows, smelling the numbness of the scalp. In the roar, the arrows were like cannonballs and locusts. In an instant, a rain of arrows was formed, enveloping the top of the northern frontier army crossing the river.

There were also enemy archers who fired flat arrows, like bullets out of the chamber.

Arrows rained down, and although the Northern Frontier Army had shields to resist, casualties were inevitable.

A soldier of the Northern Frontier Army in the front row of a ship was stabbed in the chest by an enemy's sharp arrow, and the blood quickly stained his shirt red. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, shouting to his comrades behind him: "Hold me!" ”

The comrades-in-arms behind him didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly supported his body behind his back.

A burst of bows and arrows flew in, and soon the warrior's front was filled with bows and arrows. His eyes were full of unwillingness, and finally he couldn't support it anymore and fell into the water. When the bright red blood stains spread in the river, his comrades realized that he had been hit by dozens of arrows.

He used his body to protect his comrades behind him from harm.

In the process of crossing the Huai River, there were many such things.

For a while, the corpse fell into the water, the blood was wanton, and the water was dyed red.

The comrades paid with their lives, and the surviving warriors had a flame of anger in their chests, which could only be extinguished with the blood of the enemy. The soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army began to become more fearless, rowing their ships with all their might, and using their crossbow arrows to return fire at the enemy on the shore.

Seeing that the overwhelming Northern Xinjiang Army was about to reach the shore, the Cao army on the shore was full of courage and began to release arrows indiscriminately. At the same time, Cao's army was also covered by the rain of arrows from the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"Wow!"

"I'm wounded, I'm going to retreat!" I saw that even if the soldiers of the Cao army were only bruised, they returned to the formation in a shout. Because their hearts were full of fear, the fear of death.

"Don't retreat, hold your ground!" Xiahou Yuan said loudly.

Chen Qi, who was sent by Cao Pi to supervise the army on the side, was furious and said loudly: "Those who retreat without permission will be killed!" ”

So he changed the guards into the overseers and sent them out.

The retreating Cao army was slaughtered by their own warlords, which made the Cao army archers at the front line tremble, and no one dared to retreat.

However, the ships of the Northern Xinjiang Army were getting closer and closer to the shore, which made Xiahou Yuan very anxious.

At this time, Chen Jue on the side suggested: "General, the Northern Xinjiang Army has shield players, and it is really difficult for our army's bows and crossbows to kill and injure on a large scale." But they always had to land, so that the strong men could resist in front, the warlords behind, and the archers at the end. And so, without sacrificing elite soldiers, and killing and wounding the enemy on a large scale! ”

As soon as Xiahou Yuan heard that it made sense, he took advantage of the last period of time before the Northern Xinjiang Army landed on the shore to gather hundreds of thousands of strong men from the rear.

These strong men, who until a month or two ago were just farmers with hoes in their hands, saw the countless corpses in the river undulating with the waves, and many vomited. Not to mention rejecting the enemy, he can't stand steadily, and he can't hold the weapon in his hand. They formed a line of defense, so loosened.

It only lasted for a few breaths before someone began to retreat without permission.

However, at this time, the supervision team composed of the murderous Cao army soldiers played a huge role, and tens of thousands of Cao soldiers were behind hundreds of thousands of strong men, and the strong men dared to escape, and they were immediately cut into pulp.

Under the supervision of the murderous Cao Army, the strong men had to bite the bullet and wait for the landing of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

When the vanguard of the Northern Xinjiang Army began to land on the beach, he couldn't help but be stunned in the face of the peasant-like opponent.

Xiahou Yuan seized the opportunity and ordered repeatedly: "Release the arrows, release the arrows, shoot at General Ben, shoot them!" ”

Buzzing, like locusts of arrows were overwhelming, and the Northern Frontier Army that rushed to land on the beach suffered great casualties for a time.

"Take up arms and you are the enemy, they are the people of the enemy, not our people, kill!" Some officers of the Northern Xinjiang Army reluctantly shouted slogans, because they could not watch their soldiers die tragically.

As a result, the Northern Xinjiang Army began to make contact with Cao's army.

These captured strong Yuan troops, where are the opponents of the elite Northern Frontier Army, and they don't know how to wield and kill the enemy with weapons for a while. The officers and soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army, often alone, were able to kill a group of Cao troops.

Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao army, was very unbearable, because in his eyes, these people were not soldiers, but just peasants.

"Ten deaths, kill one Northern Frontier Army, and don't pay compensation!" Chen Qi thought so. For him, keeping Cao Pi will keep his own glory and wealth, and how many people die has nothing to do with him.

Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "Chen Hanyu, these soldiers are dead, what can they do to resist the Northern Frontier Army?" ”

Chen Qi is a person who has experienced bloody battles, and his eyes are full of murderous anger: "There are people in Huainan, and then arrest them!" ”

Xiahou Yuan lifted him up, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "It's not the soldiers who are afraid of death, but these people are just farmers!" ”

Chen Qi was taken aback, and immediately took out Cao Pi's order from his arms, and said loudly: "Xiahou Yuan, do you want to rebel?" From now on, you no longer have the right to command, I'm the boss! ”

The overseer Chen Qi took over the command, and he didn't care about the lives of these cannon fodder peasants at all. On the one hand, he ordered the Warlords to massacre the strong men and stabilize the defensive line, and on the other hand, he let the last archers shoot furiously. Covering the landing battlefield of our army over and over again with a rain of arrows.

In a short period of time, tens of thousands of peasants died. However, they really played the role of cannon fodder and blocked the route of the Northern Frontier Army's assault. Even the troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army who crossed the river were hit by a brutal rain of arrows. The forward of the 5,000 Northern Frontier Army, which rushed to land on the beach, fell on the beach forever.

Chen Qi's plan succeeded, and he laughed and said, "Li Yi, come and attack, let your army all die on the beach!" ”

Li Yi on the opposite side didn't hear Chen Jue's scream, but that ugly face made Li Yi very angry. He couldn't sit back and watch the huge casualties of his own army, and said sadly: "Mingjin retreat! ”

"Lord, it's the time for an assault, don't be soft-hearted......!" Guo Jia wanted to say something more, but remembering the temper of the lord, he didn't dare to say more.

"Retreat!" Li Yi let out a loud shout and went to the front line.

In this way, the opposing Cao army won the battle to defend the beach. Chen Jue was pleasantly surprised, and kept shouting to the left and right: "I won this battle, I won Li Yi, hahaha...... The princes of the world can't win, I won! ”

Left and right stammered: "Mr. Han Yu uses soldiers like a god, even if Sun Wu is reborn, that's it!" ”

Xiahou Yuan on the side was like a knife, and his heart said that there were no more than 50,000 people, and only 5,000 people were killed, and he also had the face to say victory, rotten Confucianism, rotten Confucianism!

However, Chen Qi had the order of the new lord Cao Pi in his hands, and he had nothing to do.

The news of the "great victory" of the Northern Xinjiang Army came back to Shouchun, and Cao Pi was overjoyed, and immediately canonized Chen Qi as the Marquis of Guangling, promising that in the future, the entire Guangling County would be given to the Chen family as a fief.

Chen Jue was overjoyed, and treated the people even more cruelly, vainly trying to use hundreds of thousands of strong men to resist the footsteps of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

On the other hand, the Northern Xinjiang Army Battalion, the Chinese Army's Big Tent.

Li Yi, who returned, was very angry, crackled the case a few times, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Cao Pi is so unreasonable, he actually uses the people as cannon fodder!" ”

Guo Jia seemed to be talking to himself: "Lord, those are no longer the people, but the enemies. ”

Xu Shu also said: "The enemy is so cruel to his own people, it can be seen that they are cruel and crazy!" ”

Li Yi calmed down a little and said, "A few military advisors, our army will inevitably have great casualties if we force the crossing, I don't know if there is any other way?" ”

Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and Guo Jia glanced at each other, the enemy had 500,000 people, and there was a big river blocking the way, so if you want to fight, you must cross the river. And there is really no better way to cross the river than to force the crossing by boat.

The tent fell silent. Only Li Yi was still muttering to himself: "Those are just the people, they must not be willing." ”

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said: "What the lord said is very true, the Cao army is mixed with hundreds of thousands of newly joined soldiers, and the internal instability must be low. If chaos can be formed, the new soldiers will surely collapse immediately. Under the chain reaction, the main force of Cao's army will be impacted, and it will definitely collapse. ”

"So what should be done?" Li Yi asked.
