Chapter 702: Chess is one move

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Guan Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he watched Wei Wu and his soldiers destroy the Wei army's position like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. She hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the baggage battalion to quickly push the pontoon bridge to the other side of the turbulent water and build a bridge of life.

Without the blocking of the Wei army on the opposite side, the work of building the pontoon bridge became extremely smooth. In the blink of an eye, the twenty pontoon bridges were pushed to the other side of the river, and the soldiers and craftsmen of the baggage battalion held sharp wooden stakes, carried axes, stepped on the pontoon bridges that had not yet been fixed, and ran to the opposite bank in a puff of smoke. As soon as the feet are down-to-earth, the person who carries the stake will stick the stake in the right position, grab the axe with a big axe, smash the stake deep into the soil with the back of the thick axe, and then pick up the rope to firmly hold the pontoon.

Immediately after, one after another the chariots were pushed across the pontoon bridge and pushed onto the original position of the Wei army. When they came ashore, they parted like a tidal wave on both sides and formed three positions with chariots. The wheels of each chariot were removed and then fixed to the left and right chariots to form an arc.

Immediately after, the battalion of ballistas began to cross the river.

Then the heavy thunderbolt began to cross the river.

The 20 pontoon bridges that had just been erected became the busiest passages, and more than 3,000 soldiers worked together to transport more than 200 chariots, more than 50 ballista carts, and more than 10 thunderbolts through the turbulent water. They are well organized, busy but not chaotic, and look like a big construction site.

All of this is Guan Feng's hard work these days.

While fighting the Wei army, she spent more of her efforts on these things. First, it is necessary to prepare a large amount of materials, chariots, thunderbolts, and crossbow carts to form a battle array. Stone bullets, arrows, everything must be prepared. More importantly, training, to complete the task of forming a position in just half an hour, it is impossible to complete without precise coordination, so Guan Feng has conducted many drills before this, and it is necessary not to make any mistakes in actual combat.

Her hard work was not in vain, and the officers and men of the baggage battalion, who had undergone many exercises, showed a highly coordinated combat ability at this moment, and the position gradually took shape at an incredible speed.

Wei Ba, who arrived later, watched all this and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Guan Feng, who was haggard, and sighed pitifully: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's good that nothing went wrong." Guan Feng was relieved. Regardless of the soldiers around him. threw himself on Wei Ba's shoulder and couldn't help but sob. Wei Ba patted her on the back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay." You did very well. Even better than I could have imagined. You're so tired. Here I am, you go and sleep peacefully. ”

Wei Ba called Nanhu and asked her to take two female pawns to send Guan Feng to the camp on the other side of the river to rest. Guan Feng was reluctant. But he also knew that his body could no longer support it and had to rest, so he had to return to the camp on the west bank of the turbulent water.

Wei Ba boarded the accusation platform that had just been erected, looked at the busy position, looked at the pitch-black field in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Cao Yu, let's fight again, let me see the quality of the tiger and leopard riding." Don't let me down. ”

……

Cao Yu turned over and sat up, looking at the sweaty scout: "Night attack? ”

The scout opened his mouth, gasping for air. "Yes, my lord, the enemy army has rushed out of the rocky mountain."

"Sure enough, it's in Shijian Mountain." Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and while ordering the armor, he asked, "How many people?" ”

"They didn't have torches, they could only see shadows in the distance, not very clearly, judging from the scale, there were about 1,000 people in the direction of the turbulent water, and about 3,000 or 4,000 horsemen in the direction of our army."

"Three or four thousand horsemen?" Cao Yu was stunned for a moment and was taken aback: "Where did Wei Ba get so many cavalry?" ”

Wei Ba had cavalry, Cao Yu knew it, and the two thousand elite cavalry brought by Guo Li had almost no losses, and all of them fell into the hands of Wei Ba. It was very natural for Wei Ba to form cavalry. However, where did Wei Ba get three or four thousand horsemen? The number of people can be increased, but where does the war horse come from?

"Maybe it's a bluff, maybe it's a cavalry brought from Guanzhong." Chen Tai strode in. He wore armor and was heroic. "Without further ado, my lord, we should set off as soon as possible. Once Wei Ba crushed our army's position and gained a firm foothold on the east bank of the turbulent water, it would be detrimental to our army. ”

Cao Yu nodded repeatedly. Although this happened suddenly, it was not what they expected. Chen Tai had long estimated that Wei Ba might be hiding in Shijian Mountain, and his target could only be the Wei army confronting Guan Feng by the turbulent water. The Wei army originally had 3,000 men, but after several days of fierce fighting, there were probably only more than 2,300 left. If Guan Feng launched an offensive on the west bank to attract the attention of the Wei army, and Wei Ba came from the north and attacked the rear of the Wei army, the Wei army would probably not be able to hold its position.

They're not too nervous, though. They had already notified the Wei generals in charge and asked him to be vigilant, thinking that it was not very likely that Wei Ba's sneak attack would succeed. As long as there is defense, even if Wei Ba has 5,000 men, it will be difficult to quickly break through the position of the Wei army. As long as the Wei army can support for an hour, the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion can arrive and deal a fatal blow to Wei Ba.

It is not so much that this is the opportunity that Wei Ba has been waiting for, but that this is the opportunity that Cao Yu and Chen Tai have dreamed of.

Now, here's your chance.

It didn't take long for the long-standing tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion to embark on the journey. They were well-trained and well prepared, and although they marched at night, they were not in a panic, and everything was well arranged in the forward, on both sides, and in the rear. At the forefront is the veteran Xu Ding, who has rich experience, and his tiger warriors are experienced soldiers, so it is most suitable for him to be a striker.

Facts have proved that Cao Yu's arrangement is very correct. Soon after the army left the camp, it encountered the first wave of ambushes, and several sharp arrows flew silently from the darkness, and a few of them went straight to Xu Ding, who was sitting on his horse. However, Xu Ding reacted extremely quickly, quickly pulled out his sword, raised his shield, and blocked the attack. Immediately after, several tiger warriors rushed out of the queue and rushed into the darkness.

There was a loud noise in the darkness, and the lurking enemy fired a few arrows and fled without a trace. Xu Ding heard the sound of horses' hooves, and couldn't help frowning, the other party actually rode a war horse to sneak attack, which made him a little unexpected, there were still scattered horsemen who dared to demonstrate in front of the tiger and leopard riders?

There are far more things that Xu Ding didn't expect. They had barely walked five miles when suddenly there was a loud drum beat in the darkness, followed by a dense rain of arrows. Although the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion had been through a hundred battles, they did not lose their positions, did not suffer many casualties, and quickly launched a counterattack, but when they rushed over, there was not even a single figure except for a blazing ballista and a few large drums.

There were several such attacks in quick succession, and the thieves were like flies. Although there were no casualties. But it also made the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion a little annoyed. Preparing to fight again and again, but again and again in the air, knowing that the opponent was not far away, but he couldn't even catch the shadow. For the world-famous Wuwei Battalion. It's like catching lice on the head of a tiger. Deliberate provocation.

Xu Ding released more scouts and scattered in front of the team, searching and advancing. So. The speed of the march is inevitably affected, and in the dark of night, no matter how shrewd the scout is, he cannot do it without missing anything, not to mention that the opponent is not an idle person, once the two sides meet, it will inevitably be a short but fierce battle, and it is not yet known who will die.

Cao Yu received Xu Ding's report, he was a little angry, and was about to send the tiger and leopard to ride in front to open the way, but Chen Tai pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be angry, the king. Wei Ba did this to make you angry, to make you lose your mind, so that he could take the opportunity to use his means. There are still twenty miles left here from the turbulent position, and even if it is a little slower, it will not delay much. If you let the tiger and leopard ride in front to open the way, in the dark night, if there is any trap, I am afraid that the loss will be greater. ”

Cao Yu trusted Chen Tai very much and felt that his advice was good. The Wuwei battalion is in front, although it is a little slower, but as long as there are any traps, the Wuwei battalion can find it in time, even if the other party releases dark arrows, the soldiers of the Wuwei battalion have iron armor and big shields, and there will not be much loss. However, the size and speed of the war horse are large, and once they fall into the trap of the opponent's arrow array, the loss will be great. What's more, it's such a long way, even if it's slow, how slow can it be? Could it be that if Wei Ba was given half an hour longer, he would be able to break through the battle formation of the Wei army and gain a firm foothold?

Cao Yu didn't think this was possible, and he ordered the Wuwei battalion to attack and advance.

After receiving the order, Xu Ding acted according to the plan, and the Wuwei battalion made great strides forward while clearing the lurking enemy. Like a boulder, they pushed forward with an unstoppable momentum, crushing one attack after another, and repelling one enemy after another.

They have won one victory after another, but they have also paid an extra half an hour for it.

When they reached the shore of the turbulent water, they were shocked by what they saw.

The original Wei army position has disappeared, and the battle flag of the Shu Han army has been planted on the position, and under the light of the fire, the battle flag of Wei Ba, the general of Zhennan, flutters in the wind. Under the banner, there is a position composed of chariots, and behind each cart, the spearhead of the spear, the wooden pole of the thunderbolt car, and the shadow of the figure are exposed. Like sky lanterns, the torches stretched across the turbulent water and joined the camp on the opposite bank.

Cao Yu and Chen Tai glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Wei Ba's speed was so fast that he not only defeated the position of the Wei army, but also built his own position? It's a bit of a hassle. With the support of the position, the Shu Han army is like a tiger, even if the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion are heroic soldiers in a hundred battles, if they want to attack such a position, they will have to pay a lot of price.

What's more, they still have a large battalion on the west bank of the turbulent water behind them, which can be replenished in time, and they can be completely dragged down with the superiority of troops.

"Uncle Xuan, how is this good?" Although Cao Yu regretted it a little, he was not panicked. Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, it was just a little more trouble for him, and it didn't really decide the outcome of the battle. Because the initiative is still in his hands, although he can't attack this solid position, Wei Ba may not be able to continue to advance.

"Static braking." Chen Tai's mind is similar to Cao Yu's, since he has lost the first opportunity, it is better to turn from offense to defense, and take the lead to see what follow-up means Wei Ba has. However, he thought more than Cao Yu, in the first round of the battle between the two sides, Wei Ba seized the opportunity, seized the position on the east bank of the turbulent water at lightning speed, and gained a firm foothold.

What can he do? Chen Tai was both nervous and curious...... (To be continued......)

PS: Damn, the boat capsized again, and it was blown up again! After seven days of hard work, I returned to the pre-liberation period in one night.
