Chapter 670: Two Hundred Reinforcements

As soon as the soldiers of the Shu army in Linjin Pass heard the news that Liu Yin had returned to Chang'an, they instantly boiled, and suddenly had a feeling of bitterness. Although the first river crossing operation of the Jin army was repulsed, but the thief Hu Fen was still collecting boats, preparing for the second river crossing operation, with the fall of the water level of the Yellow River, the turbulent river water has become much smoother, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of crossing the river, and from the situation seen on the other side, this time Hu Fen is obviously more prepared than the first time, and it is difficult to budget for the next decisive battle, Huang Chong and Lian Hong are under a lot of pressure.

But this time their hearts can be put back in their stomachs, as long as Liu Yin's reinforcements arrive, Linjin Pass will be impregnable, no matter how much he tosses Hu Fen, they are not afraid at all.

Huang Chong and the others were looking forward to it, stretching their necks and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Linjin Pass is not too far from Chang'an, that is, a day or two away, and everyone is convinced that reinforcements will arrive soon.

"Comingβ€”comingβ€”"

The sharp-eyed sentry saw the dust and smoke stirring up in the distance, and excitedly reported to Huang Chongyu.

All the officers and soldiers of the Shu army, including Huang Chonglianhong, were in high spirits, and their eyes shifted to the avenue to the west, watching the dust and smoke in the distance approaching, and the sound of horses' hooves was clearly audible, and everyone was smiling and happy.

Sure enough, it was the banner of the Shu army, the big "Han" character was waving in the wind, the first were all cavalry, and they soon rushed to the Linjin Pass, Huang Chong's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the leader was the guard commander A Jian beside Liu Yin, Liu Yin sent his personal guard troops up, Huang Chong didn't mention how comfortable he was, he immediately ordered to open the city gate, and welcomed A Jian and others into the Linjin Pass.

"Commander Ajian, hard work." Huang Chong stepped forward and said with a smile.

Ah Jian turned over and dismounted, and bowed back: "It's the same for the revival of the Han Dynasty, why do you say it's hard?" General Huang's insistence on Pubanjin is the real hard work, and a hussar general was ordered to reinforce General Huang in case of emergency. ”

Huang Chong glanced at it, what Ah Jian brought was more than 200 people in a song, and it was clear at a glance, he smiled and said: "Commander A Jian is really resolute, in fact, the battle situation in Pubanjin is a little slow, and Commander A Jian doesn't have to be in such a hurry, just come with the team." ”

Ah Jian was slightly stunned and said, "A large group of people? General Huang misunderstood, and the hussar general only sent me to lead the team, and there was no other horse. ”

Huang Chong was stunned in surprise, looking at the more than two hundred people in front of him, no matter what, he couldn't believe that this was the reinforcement sent by Liu Yin?

"You...... Are you saying that the general only sent you with 200 men to help? ”

Ah Jian nodded and said solemnly: "Exactly." ”

Huang Chong immediately felt dizzy, in such a big battlefield as Pubanjin, the two sides have gathered nearly sixty or seventy thousand troops here, just two hundred people, but it is just a drop in the bucket, can it be regarded as reinforcements?

Zhan Hong came a little late, and when he saw Ah Jian's two hundred cavalry, he smiled and said, "Yes, this must be the men and horses who fought in the front station, I don't know when the follow-up reinforcements will come?" ”

Huang Chong said a little weakly: "The hussar general only sent Commander A Jian with two hundred men and horses to help, and there were no other horses. ”

This time it was Lianhong's turn to glare, and he said in astonishment: "Two hundred? The general is not mistaken, what role can two hundred people play? ”

Ah Jian smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Two generals, can you take me to the ferry to have a look?" ”

Huang Chonghe Lianhong came back to his senses, and reluctantly accepted Liu Yin's arrangement, Liu Yin's arrangement, presumably there must be his reason, after all, relative to Tongguan and Wuguan, Pubanjin is not an emergency, if Liu Yin's troops are limited, it must be to rescue the more urgent Tongguan and Wuguan first, Pubanjin's side, probably can only be released, as for the two hundred people brought by Ah Jian, it must be Liu Yin to Pubanjin's defenders to give some comfort, the symbolism is more than the practical significance.

Huang Chonghe took Ah Jian to the ferry very politely, and looked east from here, everything on the other side of the river was unobstructed, and the ships of the Jin army were moored on the east bank in a row, and the number was huge, and it was magnificent.

In the first river crossing was lost, most of the ferries used by the Jin army were mainly fishing boats that could only accommodate three or five people, such boats had limited manning, and the attack power was far behind, at this time the Jin army obviously learned the lesson of the last time, and the small fishing boats moored on the east bank obviously decreased in proportion, and more of the kind of large ferries that could accommodate dozens to hundreds of people, and even saw real warships, the kind of large building boats that could accommodate thousands of people.

If this kind of warship is placed in the waters of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not surprising, but it appears on the Yellow River, but it is surprising, such a warship stands on the course of the Yellow River, the four-story high deck, obviously higher than the Yellow River embankment, I really don't know what kind of magic power Hu Fen has, can get such a big warship?

After the failure of the first river crossing operation, Hu Fen learned from the pain, thinking that he still lost because of insufficient preparation, so in the following time, Hu Fen did not rush to success, but expanded the efforts to raise ships, as for the few building ships, Hu Fen got from the East China Sea, before the Jin State Navy ships in the Penglai Sea activities, Hu Fen learned the news, he asked Sima Yan for help, asked for a few warships to help the war.

Now the strategic focus of the Jin State is to counterattack the attack, as long as it is conducive to this strategic goal, Sima Yan will not hesitate to support it, these five ships quickly entered the Yellow River from the mouth of the Yellow River, and reached Pubanjin.

With the building ship as the guarantee of the attack, Hu Fen is confidence has soared, and he has made full preparations for this, so as to capture the Linjin Pass in a battle.

If these building ships are placed on the big rivers in the south of the Yangtze River or the East China Sea, they are sure that they are nothing, but at this moment on the Yellow River, they are like behemoths, Huang Chong Lianhong saw this scene, and he couldn't help but be very apprehensive in his heart, if he fought the second battle according to the tricks of the first battle against the Jin army, it would definitely not work, such a building ship would not be easy to deal with, and once it was allowed to land, it would indeed be a more severe test for the Shu army's riverbank defense line, but in any case, the Shu army now has no way to retreat, and must go all out to prepare for the battle.

Different from Huang Chong's nervousness, Ah Jian's face was calm and cold, and he didn't seem to pay attention to the Jin army's warships at all, he said to Huang Chong: "General Huang, just hand over these five building ships to me, you just need to deal with the small boats with all your might." ”

Huang Chong and Xianhong were completely stunned. (To be continued.) )
