In the eighth year of Jian'an in the Qin calendar, at the beginning of June 199 AD, the Zhao Yun Department and the Gao Shun Department of the Qin Army assembled in Xia Cai City after completing their respective strategic goals.

Outside Xia Cai City, more than 200,000 Qin troops gathered and waited for the day.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

After listening to the information of the Yuan army in the south of Huaishui, Qin Feng was taken aback, "What? Yuan Shu actually gathered an army of millions? How is this possible? ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "Lord, Yuan Shu went around to catch strong men, and only then did he get an army of millions." Now it is stationed along the Huaishui River and spreads for hundreds of miles! ”

Qin Feng waved back the scouts and said, "Two military advisors, now that Yuan Shu has gathered a million troops to defend along the river, it seems that if our army wants to cross the river, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" ”

To cross the river, you need to rush to the beach and land, and the other side has so many troops, this tidal flat is not easy to grab.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Shu said: "Lord, Yuan Shu forcibly grabbed the people to fill the army, although there are millions of people, but they are just ants and soldiers, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Although our army has few soldiers, it brings elites, all of whom are warriors of a hundred battles, and they can be ten with one. ”

Jia Xu said: "But we still need to fight quickly, so as not to let the Yuan army unify and the people become soldiers after a long time of drilling!" ”

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

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

Qin Feng had no choice but to obey his words, so he ordered Zhao Yun and Gao Shun to camp in the west and northwest of Huaishui. As for himself, he is in the north of Huaishui. Collect boats, make rafts, and plan to cross the Huaishui at the same time at noon in the next three days.

Three days later. Qin Feng led an army of 100,000 to the north bank of Huaishui. Then I saw the opposite camp standing in the forest, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. Voices. Sure enough, there are millions of people.

Gradually, at noon, Qin Feng stationed on the shore of the horse, 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 it!" ”

So, 30,000 Qin troops took small boats and rafts and began to cross the river.

Just a few breaths away, on the river in the north of Huaishui. It is occupied by a dense collection of thousands of boats and rafts. At the same time, the northwest, the west. The Qin army was also launched. In the entire Huaishui, there are nearly 10,000 boats and rafts crossing the river at the same time, and the momentum is not huge!

When the Qin army crossed the river halfway, the sound of bangzi on the south bank was loud.

Ji Ling personally led the troops to come. See the Qin army smuggling across the Huai River. Immediately call in the archers and release the 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 Qin 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 Qin army had a shield to resist, casualties were inevitable.

A soldier of the Qin army in the front row of a ship. He was pierced in the chest by an enemy's arrow, and the blood quickly stained his shirt red. But he gritted his teeth and persevered. Shouting out to the 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 the Qin army crossing the 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 Qin soldiers 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 Qin army was about to reach the shore, the Yuan army on the shore was full of heart and began to release arrows indiscriminately.

At the same time, Yuan's army was also covered by the rain of arrows from our army.

"Wow!"

"I'm wounded, I'm going to retreat!" I saw that even if the soldiers of the Yuan 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!" Ji Ling said loudly.

Yang Hong, who was sent by Yuan Shu to supervise the army on the side, was furious and said, "There is no forgiveness for retreating without authorization!" So he changed the guards into overseers and sent them out.

The retreating Yuan army was slaughtered by their own warlords, which made the archers of the Yuan army at the front line heartbroken, and no one dared to retreat, so they continued to fire arrows at the Qin army.

However, Qin Feng's ship was getting closer and closer to the shore, which made Ji Ling extremely anxious.

At this time, Yang Hong, the overseer on the side, said in a strange manner: "General, the Qin army has a shield hand, and it is really difficult for our army's bow and crossbow to kill 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 Ji Ling heard that it made sense, he took advantage of the last period of time before the Qin army landed on the shore to gather hundreds of thousands of strong men from the rear.

These strong men, who until a few days ago were just farmers with hoes in their hands, saw the countless corpses in the river rise and fall, 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 Yuan soldiers played a huge role, and tens of thousands of Yuan 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 urging of the murderous Yuan army, the strong men had to bite the bullet and wait for the landing of the Qin army.

When the Qin army's vanguard began to land on the beach, he couldn't help but be stunned in the face of the peasant-looking opponent.

Ji Ling seized the opportunity, "Release the arrows, release the arrows, shoot at General Ben, shoot them!" ”

Buzzing, like locusts, the arrows were overwhelming, and for a time our troops who rushed to land on the beach suffered great casualties.

"Take up arms and be enemies, they are the people of Zhongguo, not our people, kill!"

The officers of the Qin army reluctantly shouted slogans, because they could not watch their soldiers die tragically.

Thereupon. The Qin army began to make contact with the Yuan army.

These captured Yuan soldiers, who were the opponents of the elite Qin army, didn't know how to wield and kill the enemy with weapons for a while. Officers and soldiers of our army. Often one person can kill a group of Yuan Jun.

Ji Ling, the general of the Yuan army, was very unbearable, because in his eyes, these people were not soldiers, but just farmers.

"Die ten, kill one Qin army, and don't pay compensation!" Yang Hong thought so. For him, keeping Zhongguo will keep his own glory and wealth. How many people died had nothing to do with him.

Ji Ling was furious and said, "Yang Hong, these soldiers are dead. What to take to resist the Qin army? ”

Yang Hong has experienced blood, and he is no longer a literati, and his eyes are full of murderous anger: "There are people in Huainan, just catch it again!" ”

Ji Ling lifted him up. There was murder in his eyes. "Fear of death is not a soldier, but these people are just farmers!"

Yang Hong was taken aback, and immediately took out the holy decree of the puppet emperor Yuan Shu from his arms, and said, "Ji Ling, are you going to rebel?" From now on, you no longer have the right to command, Captain Ben is the commander! ”

Yang Hong, the overseer, 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 Overseers to massacre the strong men. Stabilize the defensive line, and on the other hand, let the last archers shoot angrily. Covering the landing battlefield of our army over and over again with a rain of arrows.

In a short period of time. 100,000 peasants died. However, they really played the role of cannon fodder and blocked the route of the Qin army's assault. Even the troops of the Qin army crossing the river were hit by a brutal rain of arrows.

More than 10,000 Qin army forwards who rushed to land on the beach fell on the beach forever.

Yang Hong's strategy succeeded, and he laughed and said, "Qin Zijin, come and attack, let your army all die on the beach!" ”

Qin Feng on the opposite side didn't hear Yang Hong's scream, but that ugly face made Qin Feng angry. He couldn't sit back and watch the huge casualties of our army, and said sadly: "Mingjin retreat!" ”

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

"Retreat!" Qin Feng let out a loud shout and went down to the front line.

In this regard, the Yuan family on the opposite side won the battle to defend the beach.

Yang Hong was pleasantly surprised, and kept shouting to the left and right: "This Taiwei won this battle, Ben Taiwei won Qin Zijin, hahaha......, Cao Cao can't win, Ben Taiwei won!" ”

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

Ji Ling's heart on the side was like a knife, and his heart said that there were no more than 100,000 people, and only 10,000 people were killed, and he also had the face to say victory, rotten Confucian, rotten Confucian! However, Yang Hong had a holy decree in his hands, and he had no choice but to do anything about it.

The news of the "great victory" of the Qin army came back to Shouchun, and Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and immediately canonized Yang Hong as the Marquis of Runan, promising that in the future, the entire Runan would be given to Yang Hong as a fief.

Yang Hong was overjoyed, and treated the people even more cruelly, in a vain attempt to use millions of strong men to resist the footsteps of the Qin army. However, at the moment, he is successful.

On the other hand, the Qin army camp, the Chinese army big tent.

Qin Feng, who returned, was very angry, and snapped the case a few times, and said: "Yuan Shu is so unreasonable, he actually uses the people as cannon fodder!" ”

Jia Xu seemed to be muttering to himself, and said: "Lord, those are no longer the people, but the enemies. ”

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

Qin Feng calmed down a little and said, "Two military divisions, our army will inevitably have great casualties if we force the crossing, I don't know if there is any other way?" ”

Xu Shu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, the enemy had millions of 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.

I only heard Qin Feng muttering to himself, and said, "Those are just the people, they must not be willing." ”

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he said: "What the lord said is very true, the Yuan army is mixed with millions 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 Yuan's army was impacted, and it will definitely collapse. ”

"So what should be done?" Qin Feng asked.

Jia Xu thought about it and said intermittently: "If the Yuan army expands like this, there will inevitably be problems in terms of subordination, and our army can easily send people to mix in with the Yuan army to create chaos." But if there is less, it will not be effective, and if there is more, it will be discovered. ”

Xu Shu said at this time: "If the Yuan army can take the initiative to retreat, even if the millions of people are elite, it will be difficult to convey the order. The spies infiltrated by our army can take the opportunity to create chaos, and they will definitely succeed! ”

"Makes sense!"

Qin Feng and the two military advisors pondered, and Xu Shu and Jia Xu thought about a strategy. Qin Feng, on the other hand, gave full play to his greatest advantages and began to recall the classic battles of later generations to see if he could find a way out from them.

Soon, Qin Feng remembered a classic battle, which was only more than a hundred years away from now, so he quickly remembered it. (To be continued......)
