Chapter 658
When Cao Ren, who was closest to him, did not dare to be careless at all when he received news from Cheng Yu, he immediately sent scouts to inquire about the situation within more than 30 miles upstream and downstream. He became nervous when he found traces of Yuan Jun in four or five places, which might have become places for crossing the river, but the situation was far less serious than Cheng Yu directly.
However, Cao Ren didn't think so. The battlefield was false and real, and the information found by the scout could not be completely correct. It was not impossible if the other party deliberately concealed it. While sending people to those places to guard and strengthen surveillance, he also sent people to notify Cheng Yu, telling him to strictly guard the position and inform him at any time if there is any situation.
Cheng Yu has now been mate with Shen on the other side. Both sides attacked each other through the Jishui River. Under the cover of the arrow formation, the floating bridge was pushed down. Some soldiers swam across the river, hoping to establish a protective position on the river bank, and some soldiers hid on the floating bridge and tried to extend to the north bank.
Yu Jin had no heavy equipment, only crossbows. He laid a row of swords, shields and swords on the north bank, and two rows of crossbows to violently shoot the Yuan soldiers who were swimming. He also sent some soldiers to hold two-meter-long wooden forks to hold the floating bridges that were about to be docked, and at the same time blocked the top of the floating bridge with crossbows, preventing Yuan soldiers from rushing over to fight.
With the flying rain of arrows, the Yuan soldiers were strongly blocked. Although they held their shields above their heads to block the arrows, they were not as convenient as on the shore in the water. Cao's army locked the target of their underwater bodies. The arrows entered the water, and their strength was weakened, and the damage was still not small. Most of the Yuan soldiers were wearing leather armor, which could not stop the close-range crossbow shooting. As crossbow arrows broke through the water, blood poured up from the water, and the river water turned red, one by one, Yuan soldiers fell less than ten steps away from the shore. Even though several of them came to the shore, facing the Cao infantry who were waiting for the battle, they were alone and unable to break the formation, and were killed on the shore one by one. They were thrown into the water.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, Yuan's army was unable to stand firm on the north bank. The floating bridge was tossing in the river for a long time, and it was only two or three meters away to complete the work. However, it was unable to achieve its full results. Yuan's soldiers who were waiting to cross the river to fight were staring at the two or three meters away, anxious but helpless.
Shen Pei sat in a baggage cart and kept staring at the battlefield. Seeing that both sides were tired, he ordered to stop the attack for a while. After a while, the sound of golden gongs sounded, and the soldiers of Yuan's soldiers who had no success in attacking retreated to the south bank as if they were amnesty. The craftsmen of the baggage camp also took back the floating bridge in the center of the river and stepped up the time to rectify them in case of another battle.
Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yuan's offensive was very fierce, it seemed unlikely to break through Yu Jin's position in one go. He focused on other places. Cao Ren had not heard the latest news, but he believed that Yuan's army should have more than one attack point. There must be Yuan's main force hidden in other places, but it has not been launched yet.
Cheng Yu naturally guessed that Yuan Shao was about to launch a full-scale attack. He never thought that Shen Pei and Wen Chou did not receive Yuan Shao's orders. They just acted without authorization, and the other points were doubtful soldiers just to confuse him. No matter how meticulous Cheng Yu's thinking was, he would not have thought that Shen Pei would be so bold.
Soon, Cao Ren heard news that Tian Feng was found near Lei Ze, with about 5,000 people. There were many cavalrymen. He had arranged people to go over and block them, asking Cheng Yu to be vigilant.
Cheng Yu was even more nervous. Tian Feng's appearance confirmed his guess that the Yuan family was going to attack. He sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the news nearby to avoid being caught off guard. Based on time calculations, Cao Cao from Dingtao should have received the news now. The main reinforcements of reinforcements will arrive soon. He just needs to defend the position before Cao Cao arrives and prevent Shen Pei, and Wen Chou will successfully cross the river.
Just as Cheng Yu focused on another place, Shen Pei's second attack began. The Yuan army soldiers were busy again. The swimming soldiers were holding shields and drilled into the water. The soldiers who were building the pontoon bridge drilled under the pontoon bridge and pushed the pontoon bridge to swim to the north shore. The soldiers who were preparing to cross the pontoon attack lined up and were ready to launch a charge at any time.
Yu Jin was on guard and paid close attention to every move on the other side, but he did not notice the flag that Shen Pei quietly raised.
That is Wen Chou's battle flag.
Wen Chou's battle flag did not appear opposite at first, Yu Jin was very clear about this. It was nothing strange now that it appeared. As long as they were still on the other side, whether he appeared or not, it would not affect the situation of the battle. Because he should have been there.
But this soon made Yu Jin regret it.
Wen Chou, hiding among the reeds, saw his battle flag. He knew that his chance to attack was ripe.
Wen Chou rose up, drew his sword and waved his hand back, and was the first to rush out of the reeds. Three hundred guards followed him tightly, rushing forward on the shallow water beach by the river. The splashing water, the sound of water, and the disturbing reeds quickly alarmed the scouts of Cao's army patrolling the shore. After a simple verification, they quickly turned around and ran towards the camp.
Wen Chou ignored the scouts at all. He was only three miles away from the battlefield by the river. He let go and ran wildly, just drinking a glass of water and saying a few gossips. Since Cheng Yu was not on the battlefield, it would take at least so long for him to come. All he wanted was to defeat Yu Jin's blockade before Cheng Yu arrived so that the floating bridge could be built. As long as the floating bridge was built, the army would continue to cross the Ji River and gain a foothold. At that time, even if Cheng Yu arrived, he would not be able to drive them back to Henan.
The victory or defeat is in this short moment.
Wen Chou ran wildly, and the guards behind him also knew the key points. They all worked hard to run with Wen Chou.
By the river, the battle between the two sides was inspiring. Hundreds of Yuan soldiers had swam to the center of the river, and four or five floating bridges pushed across the center of the river, only three or four feet away from the north bank. Yu Jin commanded the crossbowmen and shot mercilessly. All the soldiers knew that one move would decline again and three times. As long as the Yuan army's attack could be repelled, the victory would basically be in their hands. Therefore, Yu Jin did not dare to neglect the slightest, and put his whole body and mind on the battlefield, and he almost didn't dare to blink for a moment, for fear of missing any information.
Just here, the scout shook the red flag of the alarm in his hand and rushed towards him in one breath. Yu Jin's eyes tightened and shouted loudly: "What are you panic?"
The scout was startled and quickly stopped his steps. He stopped in front of Yujin, gasped and said loudly: "Capital, the north bank found Yuan Jun's traces."
"North Bank?" Yu Jin was shocked. He raised his head and looked west. He was seeing a team of Yuan Jun rushing out of the river bank and running towards him. He suddenly felt a cool air rushing to the back of his head. While pulling out the battle knife, he shouted loudly: "Personal Guards, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The personal guard camp responded loudly and followed closely. Yu Jin didn't have to think too much, and observed the number of people on the opposite side, and saw that there were only about three or four hundred people, he breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed to the west of the formation, and while he was eager to report Cheng Yu, he hurriedly set up a blocking formation. There was originally a small blocking formation with more than one hundred people here, and his two hundred personal guard camps should be able to hold on until Cheng Yu came to support.
Wen Chou saw the movement of Yu Jin's battle flag and was anxious. He raised his sword and roared wildly: "Roar over and kill all the crossbowmen!"
The soldiers responded, speeded up and divided into two teams. One team followed Wen Chou and rushed towards Yu Jin, and the other team continued to run along the river, rushing straight to the crossbowmen who were lined up by the river.
Yu Jin was very anxious and quickly sent someone to intercept him. In a hurry, Wen Chou arrived like an angry lion. Yu Jin stared at his figure tightly and shouted: "Cum!"
The guards raised their crossbows, and dozens of crossbow arrows rushed away, pounced on Wen Chou.
Wen Chou was prepared for a long time, bowed slightly, raised his shield with his left hand to protect his head, chest and abdomen, and dragged his right hand to the battle knife, gritted his teeth and ran wildly.
"Tu tu tu!" Several crossbow arrows shot into the shield, and one shot into Wen Chou's left leg. Wen Chou did not notice the pain at all. He ran to the front, roared, and bumped into his body. His right sword was like lightning, and he cut open the neck of a Cao army soldier with one knife.
One person was desperate, but ten people were hard to be beaten. Wen Chou knew that he didn't have much time, so he tried his best as soon as he made a move. In a blink of an eye, he killed three people in a row. He rushed to Yu Jin and raised his knife to slash. Yu Jin was in a hurry, and was worried that the crossbowman by the river would be in a mess. He was not the desperate opponent of Wen Chou. He was killed by Wen Chou and retreated repeatedly. He could only resist and had no power to fight back. The soldiers under his command were even more embarrassed, and were beaten by the vicious Yuan soldiers. If Yu Jin had not been by their side, he might have to scatter.
But despite this, they still couldn't hold on for too long. As the screams of the crossbowmen on the shore were sneak attacked, Yu Jin slowed down his hand, and Wen Chou seized the opportunity, and slashed three times in one breath, forcing him to take two steps back. Wen Chou took the opportunity to enter, slash and kill, and injured seven or eight Cao soldiers in succession, penetrated Yu Jin's blocking formation and rushed towards the river.
The Cao army soldiers lined up in the river were attacked from front to back, Yu Jin was not there, and no one was in command, and they were immediately disorganized and they began to defeat before they could hold on for a long time. Shen Pei could see clearly the situation on the north bank of the river, and how could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? With a command, the soldiers waiting in the water paddled hard, rushed to the shore, and attacked Cao army with Wen Chou. The soldiers who built the floating bridge were not negligent, and shouted horns and pushed the floating bridge to the north bank in one breath.
"Array, array!" Wen Chou roared loudly, and the soldiers who were fighting with Cao's army immediately gathered beside him to form a blocking formation. Behind them, Yuan's soldiers stepped on the floating bridge and quickly crossed the river.
Cheng Yu, who received the news, arrived with the army. When he saw Wen Chou, who had already formed a formation on the shore, his face turned pale.
"General..." Yu Jin rushed to Cheng Yu and lowered his head in shame.
"Now is not the time to blame yourself." Cheng Yu waved his hand and interrupted Yu Jin's words, "Take your people up immediately, break the floating bridge, and take back the position. I have sent someone to report to General Cao Ren, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will arrive soon."
"Here." Yu Jin was overjoyed and turned around and rushed back with the remaining soldiers.
