Chapter 1653 Crossing the River

Watching the scene on the river, Zhou Yu looked shocked.

He couldn't understand how Cao Shu saw through Huang Gai's false surrender.

First, the fire was swallowed, and then so many catapults were casting huge rocks. Huang Gai and the soldiers he brought with him obviously could not come back alive.

"The Grand Governor, Cao Zirong saw through again." Zhou Tai, who was standing behind him, asked, "What should we do?"

"Send the order." Zhou Yu said dejectedly: "All soldiers are ready to fight against Cao's army at any time."

Zhou Tai left in response, while Zhou Yu was still staring at the river in a daze.

On the north bank of the river, Cao Shuo stood on the shore and ordered behind him: "Tell the catapult cart and continue to cast huge rocks to the other shore. The soldiers who built the bridge immediately built a floating bridge to break the camp, and first landed on the camp first, followed by other soldiers."

He had already made preparations, and after Cao Shu's order received the order, the Cao army soldiers immediately took action.

All the catapults adjusted their orientation and ejected the boulders to the other side. The soldiers of the bridge camp took out the floating bridge brought by Cao Shu from Shouchun and built the longest floating bridge they built on the Yangtze River to date.

The floating bridge extended to the opposite shore bit by bit, and the soldiers of the Breaking camp and the First Deng camp followed closely behind the soldiers of the Paiqiao Camp and launched an attack on the other shore.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong Army could only watch Cao's army build a bridge but had no choice.

Cao's army's catapult car was still projecting stones to the shore.

Anyone who dares to come forward will definitely be smashed into powder.

All they could do was wait, wait for Cao's army to land, and the catapult cart would no longer cast stones.

Seeing Cao Jun's actions, Zhou Yu was full of shock.

He only considered that Cao's army could not land without warships, but he did not expect that Cao Shu would bring a floating bridge that could be built on the water.

Although the floating bridge can only pass through the infantry, and there will be dangers when the war horses walk on it, as long as the Cao family army passes through the infantry, Jiangdong will be in danger!

"Send someone to inform the Marquis of Wu." Zhou Yu shouted: "Let him leave Wu County as soon as possible. Once the enemy crosses the river, we will not be able to resist it."

Zhou Tai responded and shouted to a guard behind him: "Why don't you go quickly."

The guard turned around and ran away quickly.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, the dust stirred by huge rocks covered the sky and the sun. Zhou Yu could no longer see clearly the floating bridge extending to the bank of the river.

Sitting on the north shore, Cao Shu was also watching ahead.

Under the smoke and dust, he could not see clearly what was happening on the floating bridge.

Suddenly, he saw a soldier from the bridge camp running out of smoke and dust.

The soldier spread his arms and waved hard, indicating that the pontoon bridge on the shore was about to be built.

"Send the catapult to the chariot and stop immediately." Cao Shuo shouted: "Appoint the infantry to come forward and must take down the beach head in one fell swoop."

After Cao Shuo's order was issued, the catapult car stopped quickly, and countless Cao's troops rushed to the floating bridge and rushed towards the opposite bank.

The pontoon bridge is very wide, so wide that it can be connected by twenty or thirty people.

However, after Cao's army boarded the bridge, it did not fully utilize the space of the floating bridge. It could accommodate twenty or thirty people in parallel, but only more than a dozen people charged side by side.

The first one to rush to the beach was the breaking camp.

Under Gao Shun's leadership, they held shields to form a shield wall. Whenever the bridge camp pushes forward, they will follow closely.

"Hurry up!" The bridge camp is actually part of Li Zhi's juzi camp. He personally led his soldiers to build a floating bridge. Li Zhi saw countless Jiangdong troops rushing from afar and shouted loudly: "Be sure to set up the bridge before the enemy rushes up."

Li Zhi led the bridge camp to race against time, and the Jiangdong Army was also afraid that if it was a little slower, Cao's army would climb to the beach.

Both sides are competing with time.

When the Jiangdong Army's arrows flew over, the soldiers of the Bridge Camp placed the last piece of material for the floating bridge on the shore.

"Kill!" With Gao Shun's shout, the soldiers of the broken camp rushed down the floating bridge and rushed up to the enemy.

Ju Yi, who was following behind, was not willing to be outdone, and led the way to the camp and rushed towards the enemy.

Two elite troops rushed across the Yangtze River, and more Cao troops followed them and rushed across the suspension bridge.

"Boll Cao's army back!" A loud shout came from the Jiangdong army array in the charge, Gan Ning rushed out and rushed straight to Gao Shun.

Without riding a horse, Gao Shun had to wave his weapons and go forward to fight.

If it were on the back of a horse, Gao Shun might be able to fight Gan Ning for two or three hundred, but he has no mount at the moment and can only stand on the ground and fight Gan Ning.

The two fought for twenty or thirty rounds, and Gao Shun gradually lost strength.

Just then, Ju Yi rushed forward and stabbed a halberd at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning fought against two, and the advantage quickly became a disadvantage.

The Jiangdong Army led by him would not be the opponent to break the camp and first go to the camp. When the two sides fought together, the Jiangdong Army suddenly felt a strong pressure coming towards us.

The Cao army cavalry boarded the warship, and the generals also boarded the boat and sailed to the other side.

On the front warship, Yan Liang said to Wen Chou: "Since we became a young master, we have never made decent military achievements. Today, let the Jiangdong Army know how powerful we are."

"I'm just thinking that way." Holding a big knife, Wen Chou was already eager to try, wishing he could jump ashore immediately to fight with the enemy.

Not only them, but every Cao army general was ready to fight at this time, and he rode his horse to kill him just when the warships docked.

More and more Cao troops rushed to the shore.

When the first warship landed, several generals rushed out and led the cavalry to join the battle.

The Cao army was increasing, and the Jiangdong army retreated step by step.

Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle, shouted loudly: "Send everyone to me, and you must suppress the enemy on the beach."

"Grandmaster." Zhou Tai, behind him, shouted: "The enemy has already broken through the river bank, we can't defend it anymore, let's go."

"I won't leave!" Zhou Yu shouted: "Send troops and send everyone up..."

"Grandmaster, offended me!" Zhou Yu was almost crazy. Zhou Tai hugged him in the waist, carried him and left.

"Zhou Tai, you are rude!" Zhou Yu was still struggling by being carried by Zhou Tai.

But how could he earn Zhou Tai?

He ran to the soldiers holding the war horse with great strides. Zhou Tai held Zhou Yu on his back and shouted to the soldiers: "Send the Grand Governor away!"

Several soldiers responded and protected Zhou Yu to evacuate.

Riding on the horse, Zhou Yu turned around and shouted, "Zhou Tai, I will not forgive you!"

"As long as the Grand Governor is willing to leave, he will kill and cut him, he will listen to the emperor." Zhou Tai bowed his fists and then shouted: "Come on, come with me to fight!"

The Cao army that rushed to the beach was already crowded with people. The Jiangdong army that came to fight was unable to resist and was pushed back by the Cao army soldiers.

Every time Cao's army pushed further, someone would fall on both sides and be submerged in an endless crowd.

Zhou Tai led dozens of Jiangdong troops to rush up from behind.

He happened to meet Gan Ning who was retreating.

"General Zhou is away quickly." Gan Ning shouted: "There are too many enemies, we can't resist it!"

"General Gan left first, I'll come later." Zhou Tai responded loudly, leading the soldiers to rush towards Cao's army.
