Chapter 367

In the morning, the sun rises.

On the surface of the jueshui River, the water mist is shrouded in a dense scene, like a fairyland.

Golden sunlight from the sky down, scattered on the river, dense glow.

"Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the drums of war reverberated on the north bank.

The powerful sound of war drums resounded in the air. The tremor brought by the strong sound seemed to make the mist on the river begin to disperse.

A dense array of troops appeared on the Bank of the river.

Cao Cao, wearing a black robe and armor, stood with his hands down, staring calmly at the other side of the river. At Cao Cao's side, Xun you stooped to his feet and said, "Lord, the army is ready. All the boats are ready to cross the river at any time. "

In addition to the previous preparation of a ship, in order to ensure the smooth crossing of water, Cao Cao pumped out hundreds of ships to the nearby area last night.

In order to succeed, Cao Cao did his best.

It's a pity that he can't bear big ships. Otherwise, large warships carrying soldiers across the river won't be afraid of Liu Xiu's crossbows and arrows. But now, first of all, we have to break through the water to get a foothold on the south bank.

"Crossing the river!"

Cao Cao's eyes were sharp and gave the order.

With the waving of the flag, the sound of the war drum is higher and higher.

In the army, one by one, the soldiers came out, quickly arrived at the ferry, and then boarded the boat. All the boats used by soldiers were ordinary sampans. A small boat could carry seven or eight people.

Hundreds of boats on the North Bank of the ferry are fully loaded.

In the first attack, 3000 pioneers began to cross the river.

On the surface of the river, there are a lot of ships, which are overwhelming and terrifying.

Three thousand soldiers were forced to cross the South Bank of the river. Liu Xiu had already deployed troops.

A catapult, quickly in place.

Liu Xiu used as many as 60 catapults this time. In all previous wars, he used the most catapults this time. All the catapults are divided into two rows, each row of 30 catapults. Each catapult is five feet apart. A row of twenty catapults stretched 150 feet.

One hundred and fifty feet apart, it almost occupied the whole ferry on the south bank.

Liu Xiu ordered: "go to war!"

Yuan yideling, holding a big black flag in his hand, roared: "ready!"

The flag swayed and waved, and the catapults had seen it.

"Creak! Creak

A catapult, constantly running up, the sound of friction.

In a moment, sixty catapults are ready.

All the people looked in the direction of Yuan Ye. At this time, the flag in Yuan Ye's hand was waving again. When the catapult soldiers saw it, they immediately took action and dropped large stones to attack.

"Bang! Bang

The catapult collided with the horizontal axis and made a continuous sound.

Sixty big stones, whistling through the air, smashed into the middle of the river. The distance between the catapult and the center of the river is about 40 Zhang. This distance is not even one third of the range of the catapult, which is the most relaxed distance.

Because of this, the weight of the stones was slightly increased, with each big stone weighing about 120 Jin.

Boulders swept through the air and began to fall.

At this time, hundreds of boats have been moving fast in the river.

"Boom!"

The first big stone fell into the river, splashing and setting off a big wave. More than a hundred kilograms of big stones fall from high altitude, the impact force is quite strong, making the river waves constantly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom

Then, the other fifty-nine stones followed.

Among the sixty big stones, some fell into the water, while others fell on the boat, which split the boat in an instant. The function of sixty big stones is not to hit the boat. The most important role lies in the fact that stones with unparalleled strength smash into the river, making the already turbulent River fury, making the river waves and continuous shocks.

Wave after wave of waves, making the boat ups and downs.

One by one, eddies formed on the river.

"No, the boat is going over."

"The boat won't hold. The waves are too big."

"Hold the boat fast, all of you are steady. Don't move. Don't move. The more turbulent it is, the less random it is. "

"Help! The boat is really going to turn over

A boat capsized, so that countless Cao soldiers fell into the river, directly washed away. Some small boats collided with each other because of the big waves, causing unrest.

The whole scene completely collapsed, and the offensive composed of 3000 vanguards immediately disappeared.

"Boom! Boom

The catapults on the south bank are still throwing stones.The second wave of sixty big stones fell into the middle of the river. For a moment, the water splashed hundreds of feet away.

The waves splashed, and the boats overturned in the heart of the river.

Cao Cao's 3000 elite wanted to cross the river, but under such circumstances, the slightly calm river became turbulent and turbulent, and it was difficult to cross the river. The most important point is that Cao Cao's soldiers are from the north and are not used to water. It's OK when the boat is stable. Once the boat goes up and down, the soldiers feel dizzy and the whole person is not good.

Sorry!

Only feel incomparably uncomfortable!

The boat was full of ups and downs. The soldiers on the boat couldn't hold the center of gravity, and even some of them put their heads out of the boat and began to feel nauseous. Under the attack of waves, the center of gravity of the ship was unstable, and the soldiers stuck out their heads again, which made the ship capsize, causing more casualties.

On the Gushui River, countless ships capsized, and countless Cao soldiers fell into the river, constantly struggling.

Liu Xiu stood on the south bank, looking at the scene in front of him, his mouth rose slightly.

Five rounds!

The catapult only carried out five rounds of attacks, and hundreds of boats on the river were scattered. It was no longer the scene of hundreds of boats crossing the river together, which was full of desolation and decay.

A small number of boats, staggering toward the south bank.

However, there are only dozens of these ships, and even if they land on the shore, they will not be able to take advantage.

When Cao Cao saw this scene on the north bank, his face was expressionless and his eyes didn't fluctuate. It seemed that capsizing was a trivial matter.

Cao Cao has been used to fighting for decades.

This kind of scene is not worth mentioning.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao said, "Gongda, add another 1000 vanguards, disperse and continue to cross the river. Although Liu Xiu's catapult is powerful, it is not unlimited. The prime minister expected that his catapult would throw a few more rounds at most. When that happens, he will not be able to suppress his soldiers

"No!"

Xunyou ordered, and sent 1000 elite across the river.

These 1000 elite soldiers came out, and the soldiers who worked together came out carrying the boat.

This curtain fell in Liu Xiu's eyes, especially surprised.

And ships?

How many ships did Cao Cao recruit and build? It's such a waste.

A thousand elite once again across the river, after another sprint. The catapults on the south bank are still attacking fiercely. Big stones fall into the river and make waves on the river, causing difficulties to Cao soldiers crossing the river.

The second wave of crossing the river, relatively speaking, the soldiers have more experience.

In this wave, of the 1000 soldiers crossing the river, about 300 soldiers crossed the river safely.

More than 500 soldiers had crossed the river before. After the two teams joined, there was a team of nearly 1000 people. After meeting at the shore, the team stepped directly on the mud and quickly landed.

Liu Xiu saw the soldiers of Cao army converging and began to rush up. He was not moved. He ordered, "Archer, prepare!" The soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, were ordered to act immediately, and each archer squatted down in front of the catapult.

The soldier drew his bow and arched.

"Whew! Whew

Piercing bow and arrow shot, resounding in the air.

A moment later, like a pouring rain, the bow and arrow were shot into the Cao soldiers who were rushing to the shore.

"Pooh! Poof

Bow and arrow into the body, in an instant, it splashed out a pengpeng of blood. One by one, Cao's soldiers fell to the ground. However, the dense bows and arrows could not stop Cao's soldiers from rushing.

Fearless of life and death, Cao soldiers rushed to Jingzhou barracks.

"Kill

"Rush up and kill!"

"It's today to make contributions, kill!"

Cao Jun's soldiers roared, and their eyes were murderous. These soldiers have completely abandoned life and death. They broke through the block of the catapult, broke through the bow and arrow fire, and approached the camp.
