Chapter 1015: Night Attack on the River Bank

Night fell quietly, and on the banks of the Yellow River, countless black shadows were moving.

All the black shadows had long swords hanging from their waists, they did not hold shields in their hands, and everyone looked at the Yuan army camp on the opposite side of the river bank with a flickering fire, and their faces were solemn.

There are more than 1,000 people in this black shadow, and the one who led them was Yu Ban, who had changed into an ink-colored armor.

One by one, the soldiers went into the water, and the first soldier to enter the water, dragging a long rope in his hand, went to the opposite side of the riverbank.

Cao Jun, who went into the water behind, did not immediately go into the water, but stood in the water, looking at the row of soldiers who were heading towards the opposite side of the riverbank.

Yu Ban stood on the shore, and beside him, stood Li Dian in silver armor.

"General Ben led the army to cross the river, and the ferry is to be handed over to Yu Mancheng!" Looking at the Yuan army camp on the other side of the riverbank, Yu Ban said to Li Dian beside him: "Man Cheng should beware of enemy troops crossing the river!" ”

"The general rest assured, the last general should guard the ferry and categorically not give Yuan Jun a chance to cross the river!" Most of the 2,000 Cao troops guarding Yanjin were taken by Yu Ban, and those who stayed at the ferry were only a few hundred, but Li Dian still responded to Yu Ban with his confident tone.

The first platoon of Cao troops to enter the water soon reached the opposite side of the riverbank.

When they arrived at the opposite side of the riverbank, the soldiers of the Cao army took out the wooden chisels from their arms one by one, drove the chisels lightly into the ground, and then tied the ropes to the chisels.

When they finished binding the chisel, they immediately shook the rope.

The rope was too long, and although they shook it very hard, when they reached the opposite side of the river, the shaking force of the rope was much smaller.

But even so, Cao Jun, who was already holding the other end of the rope on the other side of the riverbank, still felt the slight tremor of the rope.

Yanjin Ferry has long been nailed with rows of wooden drills.

Feeling the trembling of the rope, Cao Jun, who had not yet crossed the river, immediately tied the rope to the chisel.

Most of the soldiers of Cao Jun are people from Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and there are not many of them who know water.

On the riverbed of the Yellow River, the rope was pulled up, so that more soldiers who could not know water could successfully cross the river with the help of the tension of the rope.

The rope was pulled up, Yu Ban looked at the Yuan army barracks on the other side of the riverbank, and whispered to the officers on the side: "Pass the order, the soldiers cross the river, no one is allowed to make a sound, wait until the general orders are given, and then attack the Yuan army!" ”

"No!" The officer clenched his fists in response, and also lowered his voice, and conveyed the order to the soldiers of the Cao army who were waiting to cross the river on the bank of the river.

The military order was conveyed, and the Cao army on the bank of the river poured into the river.

The soldiers of the Cao army, who got down the river, grabbed the ropes one by one and swam towards the opposite side of the river bank with difficulty.

Cao Jun, who knows how to water, after getting down the river, when he swam to the opposite side of the riverbank, he was still bolder, and those Cao Jun who couldn't know how to water went into the water and stayed until his feet couldn't touch the bottom of the water, and they were all panicked in their hearts.

The bold Cao Jun, holding the rope with both hands, slowly groped towards the opposite side of the riverbank, and was still able to keep up with Tong Ze in front.

But some of the cowardly, when their feet couldn't touch the bottom of the water, they were already frightened and didn't dare to move for half a minute, but they just lingered in the water.

The Cao army that was sluggish in the water blocked the way of the people behind them, and many Cao soldiers bypassed their backs when they came to them, and some who were also not very bold also stopped when they arrived at the side of these sluggish Cao Jun.

The Yuan army camp on the other side of the river bank was still quiet, and the Yuan army did not notice that Cao Jun was crossing the river at all.

A group of Yuan soldiers sat around a campfire on the outskirts of the barracks.

On the bonfire, there was also a rabbit caught by these Yuan Jun.

The rabbit on the flame, the skin that has been roasted is charred and tender, and the rich fragrance is waving.

Looking at the rabbit on the fire, several soldiers of the Yuan army licked their lips one by one, revealing a salivating look.

Seeing that the rabbit was about to be roasted, a soldier of the Yuan army was just about to reach out and pull off a leg from the rabbit, when several figures walked towards them.

"Ho, it smells so good!" Far away, the officer of the Yuan Army, who led a few soldiers towards the fire, praised it with a smile, and then said to the few soldiers behind him: "Go, bring them the roasted Nalaoshzi!" ”

The two soldiers answered, and ran quickly towards the fire.

Before the Yuan soldiers sitting by the fire could understand what was going on, the rabbit they roasted was taken away by the two soldiers.

The one who let the two soldiers take the rabbit was an officer with a higher rank than them, and the soldiers who roasted the rabbit stared at the soldier who took the food, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Taking the roasted rabbit from the hands of the two soldiers, the officer pulled off a rabbit leg, nibbled on it, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Yes, it is very good!" ”

On the edge of Yuan Shao's barracks, the officers had the soldiers take their food, and at this time, not far from their barracks, more than 1,000 Cao troops had already landed.

On the surface of the river, some Cao soldiers who couldn't swim were still soaking in the water while holding on to ropes.

One of the Cao soldiers, because he was too nervous, loosened his grip on the rope, and it was this release that he was immediately swept down by the current.

Before he could even let out a scream, the Cao soldier was submerged in the flowing water, and after only a few flutters on the water, he sank to the bottom.

Although there were a few casualties when crossing the river, the vast majority of Cao's troops still climbed the river bank smoothly.

Yu Ban, who was wet, led the soldiers of the Cao army, and hibernated not far from the Yuan army camp, staring at the few Yuan army soldiers on the edge of the barracks.

The scene of the officers snatching the soldiers' food was all watched by Yu Ban.

There were more and more soldiers of the Cao army who climbed the riverbank, and when the last soldier went up the riverbank, Yu Ban beckoned behind him.

The soldiers of the Cao army behind him felt out of their arms one after another.

But when Cao Jun found out the fire fold, he found that due to the crossing of the river, the fire fold in their arms was all soaked, and it was impossible to ignite the fire at all.

One by one, the soldiers of the Cao Army held the wet fire folds in their hands, staring at each other with big eyes, all with blank faces.

However, among these Cao troops, there were also a few who had an extra eye when crossing the river, and held the fire fold high above their heads, and the fire fold in their hands was not soaked by the river water.

Cao Jun, who was not soaked in the fire fold in his hand, all took a few steps forward and moved closer to Yu Ban.

Turning his head and glancing back, seeing that the number of Cao Jun who had not been wet was too small, Yu Ban also frowned slightly.

Most of the fire folds were wet, and it was impossible to light a raging fire in a short period of time, and it was difficult to cause large-scale panic to Yuan Jun just by relying on these fire folds that were currently available.

Turning his head to look at the soldiers behind him, Yu Ban finally decided to use the existing fire, ignite the flames, and fire arrows at the Yuan army camp.

Clusters of flames were lit, and when the soldiers of Cao Jun lit the flames, they deliberately looked for a quiet place to avoid Yuan Jun from discovering their traces immediately.

But even so, in the night, the faint light of the lit flame still easily attracted Yuan Jun's attention.

Officer Yuan Jun, who was gnawing on the rabbit, felt as if there was a light on the side, and quickly stood up and looked in the direction where the fire appeared.

There was no Yuan Jun's storage in that place at all, but after glancing there, the officer immediately knew that it was not good, and hurriedly threw the rabbit that had not been eaten to the ground, and shouted: "Cao Jun robbed the camp!" ”

Just as the officer shouted, a patch of arrows had already flown towards Yuan Jun's barracks.

The arrows were carrying raging flames, and under the carrying of the arrows, the fire balls flew in mid-air, like meteors flying towards Yuan Jun, drawing light and shadow in mid-air.

Arrows carrying the fire ball flew into Yuan's military camp and shot at one camp tent, and soon set the tent on fire.

Although the officer had already issued a warning, his warning came a beat later after all.

The soldiers of the Yuan army in the barracks didn't even understand what was going on, and the tents were already burning in pieces.

The flames suddenly flared up, and many of the soldiers of the Yuan army ran out of their tents and scurried around, trying to avoid the direction of Cao's surprise attack.

In the night, Yuan Jun couldn't tell how many people Cao Jun had come.

It was just by feeling that since Cao Jun dared to launch a surprise attack, there must be more people than them.

Ordered the soldiers to launch many rockets in succession, Yu Ban drew the long sword at his waist, stood up suddenly, and shouted to the soldiers of the Cao army who crossed the Yellow River with him: "Kill with this general!" ”

With Yu Ban's order, the Cao army that had crossed the river jumped up one after another and rushed towards Yuan Jun's military camp.

The Cao army was very small in number, and if the Yuan army could organize an effective defense at this time, Yu Ban and the more than 1,000 Cao troops under his command would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Yuan army.

It is a pity that the Yuan army, which was not enlightened by the attack at all, did not form an effective defense at all, but ran around in the barracks.

The barracks were in chaos, and Wen Chou, who led the army stationed on the bank of the river, came out of the tent.

As soon as he left the camp, he saw that there was fire everywhere outside, and the soldiers in the camp were running back and forth, and even some officers were fleeing with the soldiers.

"Capture Wen Chou!" Just when Wen Chou wanted to stop the chaos in the army, a shout reached his ears, and immediately after, a group of Cao soldiers rushed into the barracks.

In the dark night, there were fires everywhere, and it was impossible to tell how many Cao Jun people rushed into the barracks.

The Cao army suddenly entered, and the Yuan army in the barracks was even more chaotic, and many Yuan troops were running in the wrong direction and were fleeing towards the Cao army.

Seeing that Cao Jun suddenly came out of the opposite side, those fleeing Yuan Jun hurriedly stopped, turned around, and fled to the back.

Entering the Yuan army camp, the Cao army led by Yu Ban waved the long sword in his hand and slashed all the Yuan troops they could catch up, but in an instant, the military camp was already filled with a strong smell of blood.
