"Ordered General Ren Jun to die on the river bank in formation, I went to Anfengjin to search for the ferry, and he led the cavalry to Suzhi.
"Whoa."
Li Dian is not such a ruthless person after all, he has a cavalry army under his command, one person and two horses, but he is suffering from only 1,500 horsemen, what can 1,500 horsemen do If it is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if He Qi has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, he is not afraid, he can't fight, he can escape.
One person and two horses, how fast the foot is.
When he reached the riverbank, he felt extremely quiet, so quiet that he was a little worried.
"Should it be" He was a little worried about An Fengjin, he walked along the bank of the Huaishui River, crossed Yingshui, must be going to An Fengjin, although Yingshang is close, but there must be ambushes, as for the direction of Ruyin, it is even more impossible to go.
There are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and Li Dian is only worried that An Fengjin does not have too many soldiers stationed at this moment.
When he arrived, he was unable to get his hands on the ship in time.
After a short time, the sentry cavalry turned back and reported: "Report to the general, there is our army stationed at the ferry on the other side, and we have just asked, and immediately there are more than 20 canopy boats prepared by the boatman to cross the river to meet them." ” "Awning boat" Li Dian frowned slightly, he was already aware of the importance of the sailor at this moment, if he wanted to fight with the Jiangdong Army in the future, if there was no sailor, I was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch in this Huainan land.
"In this way, we can only abandon the war horse."
Li Dian was a little distressed, if he didn't want to leave these war horses to the Jiangdong Army, there would only be all slaughtered there, but for the horsemen, the horses were their second life, which was higher than the status of the war knife in his heart.
Moreover, the cavalry under his command, one person and two horses, these horses are all good horses obtained from Yanzhou and Hebei, and thousands of horses are killed at one time, how can they be reluctant When he arrived at the shore, he saw more than 20 canopy boats and more than 10 ships waiting by the river, and after a little hesitation, he ordered 500 men to abandon their horses and cross the river first.
As the boat entered the river, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
"General Mancheng" Ren Jun walked to the front with a dejected face, and immediately bowed his hand to Li Dian, "General Mancheng, our troops died on the riverbank, and were chased and killed by Pan Zhang and He Qi's troops, and all of them were killed."
Li Dian saw him dismount, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Sikong and the land of the two states of the North, we are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the soldiers and horses are gone, he can still find them back one day, if the people are gone, then everything is gone." ” As he spoke, he looked at the cavalry who followed Ren Jun, there were less than seven hundred people left, that is, after a while, the old department under his command lost three hundred people, and his heart was dripping blood.
These are all old troops who have followed Cao Cao in the southern and northern wars for many years.
"General Mancheng, without further ado, let's cross the river first."
Ren Jun glanced at the ferry that had arrived in the middle of the river, and was also relieved, and commanded his soldiers to take the ferry that was still on the shore not far away.
Li Dian didn't move, but his eyes looked at the thousands of war horses on the shore with some reluctance.
If he can still lead the army upstream, he can find a peaceful place to let people cross the river with horses, but the pursuing generals behind him will not leave him this opportunity.
"Cao thief leaves."
At this moment, on the upstream riverbank, thousands of soldiers were suddenly killed, Li Dian's face changed greatly, when he looked back, fortunately, he had already disembarked on the other side of the river, the boat was empty, the speed of the boat was very slow, and it was not long before he could return.
"Quick, good water sergeant, immediately take off your armor, jump into the water, and swim across the opposite shore."
The surface of the river was only more than ten zhang, and Li Dian calculated the timing of the enemy's arrival, and pointed sharply at the horses in front of him.
"Drive the horses to the north, light the horse's tail, quick."
His sergeant also had some fire folds in his hands, and when he ordered the horses to be driven to the north, the hundreds of sergeants standing behind the horses almost simultaneously raised their fire folds and aimed them at the tail of the horses.
"Rushing into battle with a war horse, Li Mancheng is really a wise general."
The commander of this Huainan army, is not long ago Jiangxia Governor Su Fei, he recuperated in Yangquan, after the injury improved, he led 5,000 Yangzhou soldiers, listen to Xu Shu's general's order, cross the Huaishui as soon as possible, ambush on the shore, never thought, really waited for Li Dian.
"Oxen and horses."
Seeing that the horses in front of him had begun to panic, Su Fei waved back unhurriedly, and immediately thousands of people in the dense forest behind him arrived, and three or five people pushed a wooden ox and flowing horse, which was also the wheelbarrow of the later generations.
At this moment, there is an iron plate in front of the car, which is made of steel forged with several layers of armor, and the front end of the wooden ox and horse has sharp spikes, aimed at the oblique front.
"Bang" 200 wooden oxen and horses, side by side in front of the military formation, suddenly condensed into an impregnable copper wall.
"Hiss" "Phew" When the war horses panicked because of the flames behind the horse's tail, thousands of war horses rushed towards the north almost in a swarm, Su Fei clenched the arm of the long knife, "The people are in front, if you die, you will wait for your wife and my family to raise you, and your son can enter the county school." ” "Sword and shield soldiers, archers come forward."
Su Fei is brave and average, but after a long battle, he seems to be at ease when he commands this Tuntian soldier who has been trained for nearly two years.
Five people pressed a wooden ox and a horse, the people were trembling all over, they were all southerners, they had never seen the wild horses on the vast grassland, nor had they seen the vast scene of tens of thousands of iron horsemen charging on the land of the Central Plains.
They are also afraid of death, and they are even more afraid of the oncoming horses than those soldiers who lick blood from the edge of their knives.
"Ahh "General Ben is the same as you, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed."
Su Fei let out a loud shout, and with the blood splashing on his face, his expression looked a little hideous.
"Liu Qi'er is so fortunate to have such a good general."
At this moment, Li Dian, who had already taken the opportunity to lift his feet and land on the ferry, looked at this scene with a face full of anger.
Not long after, thousands of soldiers boarded the ship together, dozens of ships were crowded, and the side of the ship was almost an inch or two to be level with the water, but Li Dian had no other way, he could not leave behind so many elite soldiers who had been fighting for nearly ten years.
Ren Jun's face showed a relieved smile, "I never thought that Jiangdong still has such a strange and obscene skill, but it is also the ignorance of these southerners to resist thousands of crazy war horses with this thing alone." ” Li Dian also showed a smile on his face, "What General Boda said is very true, these thousands of war horses will definitely make him lose his troops, but it's a pity that the chasing troops behind him are coming, otherwise, we will be able to annihilate them all here." ”:
