The vanguard officer of the Wei army was Hu Lie, the general of the guard army, who led 20,000 cavalry and drove south from the Sword Pavilion and rushed straight towards Fucheng.

Hu Lie can also be regarded as a rare general in the Wei army, his father Hu Zunguan is a general of chariots and cavalry, and he is deeply respected by Sima Yi, and his brother Hu Fen is also a famous general of Cao Wei, and currently serves as the governor of Xuzhou Governor Xuzhou Military. Hu Lie was appointed as the governor of Guanzhong this time, and has been eager to make meritorious contributions and chase the reputation of his father and brother.

Seeing that the destruction of Shu was imminent, Hu Lie was unwilling to miss the great achievement, and took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the vanguard and attack Fucheng.

The iron horses rolled, stirring up the dust and smoke rushing to the sky on Chenghan Avenue, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like bursts of muffled thunder beating the land.

Hu Lie enjoyed the sound very much, and to his ears, the sound of horses' hooves was simply more pleasant to the ear than those harps and drums. Hu Lie was born in Anding County, Liangzhou, since ancient times, Liangzhou has been known for its fierce folk customs, and the West Liangjin Riding is famous all over the world, Hu Lie grew up in this environment since he was a child, and has a deep paranoia about riding and shooting.

In his opinion, only Xiliang can really dominate the world, and only Xiliang rides, thousands of rides, roaring by, who in the world can stop him? It's just that the damn terrain in Shuzhong restricts the play of the cavalry, otherwise, if you talk about it, you will be crushed all the way, and Chengdu will be at your fingertips.

"General Hu, there is Fushui in front, and after Fushui, it is Fucheng." The scout reported to Hu Lieyu.

Hu Lie set up a pergola in his hand and looked south, and the water meandered down from the snow-capped mountains in the west. Across the front. Over the water. The towering walls of Fucheng can be vaguely seen. The water comes out of the Xishan Canyon, and it seems to have a wild and uninhibited momentum, surging and rushing, and the water is turbulent.

Although the current is very fast, the water flows out of the canyon, and the surface of the water is beginning to spread, which is much inferior in width compared to the downstream.

"The order goes down. Build a pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the river! A rapids could not stop Hu Lie's ambition, and the Wei army's baggage battalion was specially equipped with engineering troops and boat and bridge troops, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. The cavalry that opened the road was blocked, and the boat bridge troops were immediately ordered to step forward and prepare to build a pontoon bridge on the water.

The pontoons are all equipped now, and a number of small boats of about five feet are assembled first, floating on the water and connected side by side. It is covered with wooden planks and fastened with iron nails and cables. You can quickly build a pontoon bridge. The sappers of the Boatbridge Battalion were quite skilled, but in half an hour, the seemingly chaotic piles of planks were methodically transformed into small boats, and after these small boats were pushed into the water, long planks were laid out on the boats, and the boats were connected and stretched across the river.

The Wei soldiers, who had good water quality, dived into the water to drive piles, and the wooden stakes with the thickness of their arms were deeply nailed to the bottom of the river, and were connected by cables between the wooden piles and the pontoons, and the turbulent river could no longer shake the pontoon bridge for half a minute.

"Speed up!" Although the speed of the bridge construction of the Zhouqiao battalion was not slow at all, the impatient Hu Lie still urged vigorously, and he was eager to grow his wings at the moment, and led the horse to fly across Fushui and take Fucheng directly.

The Fushui flowing through the vicinity of Fucheng is not too wide, the water flow is relatively gentle at this place chosen by the Wei army, and the width of the riverbed is only about one mile.

At this moment, dozens of ships suddenly appeared in the southeast direction of the river, and Hu Lie's face changed greatly, this kind of warship he recognized was the most famous Mengchong fighting ship in Eastern Wu. Mengchong ship shape is long and narrow, with oars as the power, strong ability to maneuver and assault, this ship is covered with raw cow skin, the two compartments open the holes, there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right, the enemy can not enter, and the arrows and stones cannot be defeated.

Although the Meng Chong ship was sailing against the current, it was extremely fast, in a zigzag formation, and directly collided with the pontoon bridge of the Wei army.

"Stop the enemy ships!" Hu Lie shouted loudly.

Guarding the shore and on both sides of the pontoon bridge were a large number of archers and crossbowmen, in order to prevent the destruction of the Wu people, Hu Lie still made full preparations, and gave an order, arrows rained down, covering the entire Fushui River.

However, Hu Lie obviously underestimated the assault ability of the Mengchong ship, and braved the rain of arrows, the battleships of Eastern Wu showed little sign of slowing down, and the oars were getting faster and faster, and the warships were like enclaves skimming over the water, and at the same time, the warships also shot rows of crossbow arrows like locusts, and the Wei army was still colored.

However, the Meng Chong ship at the forefront had already approached the pontoon bridge, and the Wei army's arrows were as dense as a shower, and even the use of rockets could not cause substantial damage to the warships of Eastern Wu.

The Meng Chong ship crashed into the pontoon bridge as quickly as possible, and after a loud sound, the entire pontoon bridge was easily broken like a long chain, and the sappers working on the bridge and the archers defending it fell into the water together.

More Mengchong ships rushed up, the bow of the Mengchong ship was made of the thickest thick wooden planks, wrapped with iron sheets, in this water battle, the Mengchong ship was not used to fight a surprise charge, many strong warships will be stopped by the Mengchong ship and smashed into two, and the pontoon bridge assembled by a few thin wooden planks is even more vulnerable.

In an instant, the entire pontoon bridge became fragmented, and the broken wooden planks and the drowned and shot Wei soldiers floated all over the river, and the blood almost stained the surface of the river red.

Fushui is the first line of defense against the Wei army of the land resistance, he gave full play to the advantages of the Wu army's navy, taking advantage of the characteristics of the Mengchong fighting ship's rapid mobility and strong impact, and when the Wei army's pontoon bridge was built to more than half, he suddenly attacked and destroyed the pontoon bridge, so that the Wei army looked at the river on the north bank of Fushui and sighed.

In front of the Meng Chong ship, the thin pontoon bridge was as fragile as a piece of cardboard, and it was easily stabbed with a thousand holes. The warships of Eastern Wu were not in love with war, and as soon as they succeeded, they immediately flew away, and they had no idea of fighting with the Wei army at all.

Hu Lie was so angry that he jumped like thunder, although Liangzhou Xiaoqi was invincible in the territory, but in the face of the surging river, there was nothing to be done. On the water, Jiangdong's sailors are invincible, Hu Lie is not to say that he built a pontoon bridge, even if he built ten pontoon bridges, it was in vain, the Meng Chong ship could easily destroy any pontoon bridge, and if he wanted to make a difference on the water, Hu Lie was almost at a loss.

Hu Lie had no choice but to wait for Zhong Hui to lead the army to come and make plans.

Zhong Hui sent the main force of the Wei army, and Hu Lie's first camp only kept a day's distance, Hu Lie was blocked in Fushui, and when Zhong Hui led the army to arrive, Hu Lie was looking at Fushui and sighed, and after Hu Lie explained the details to him, Zhong Hui said calmly: "A shallow Fushui can even block the pace of my Great Wei Xiongshi, it's a joke!"
