please make me king

Chapter 482
This morning, shortly after eating, Cao Wenzhao sent officers and soldiers to launch a tentative attack.

Since the officers and soldiers were in a hurry to prepare for crossing the river, they only found thirty or forty fishing boats and ferries as vehicles, and caught some fishermen and boatmen for rowing.

The boats crossing the river are all small boats. The big ones can carry seven or eight people, and the small ones can carry two or three people.

As a veteran general, Cao Wenzhao knew that these people were worthless.He was not stupid enough to send these officers and soldiers to the river bank to be targets for the rebels.

He just ordered these people to carry some firearms such as tiger squatting guns, flying midge guns, fast guns, and bird guns, and only waited for them to shoot and harass the rebels when they approached the shore.

Zhang Shun's response was also very simple. He ordered the "Left Gold King" He Jin to lead the cavalry to wander near the river bank.Once the officers and soldiers are ready to disembark and land, they will charge to kill these officers and soldiers.On the one hand, he ordered the "King of the World" to lead the gunners, gunners and officers and soldiers to shoot at each other.

Zhang Shun had trained a hundred Lumi gunners before, and he played very well in the battle against Shizhu chieftain Ma Fengyi.

After arriving at Baodu Village, Zhang Shun never forgot.He asked Zhang Dudu to accumulate a hundred Lumi guns in addition to making farm tools, swords, guns and armor.Now two hundred gunners have been trained.

The pawns had lost a lot in many battles, and by the way, Zhang added the two hundred gunners to the command of the "King of the World" and the "King of Troubled Times".

Now, in order to fight against the officers and soldiers, Zhang temporarily seconded these musketeers and some easy-to-carry two-inch tiger squat guns under the command of the "King of the World".

The two sides shot at each other immediately, and the pungent sulfur smell and billowing gunpowder smoke filled the Yellow River and its banks for a while.

Except for the certain results obtained in the first round of shooting, in the remaining rounds of shooting, in fact, nothing can be seen clearly, so they can only shoot blindly, wasting a lot of gunpowder and projectiles in vain.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shun ordered someone to call the "King of the World" over, and said to him: "The wind on the river is strong, and the wind on the river bank is small. After each shooting, the smoke on the river has cleared, and the bank is still filled with gunpowder smoke. Let the rebels move to another place and shoot at the officers and soldiers."

The "King of the World" got the order and quickly "shot" to change the place, and now the casualties of officers and soldiers came up.

It turned out that most of the firearms equipped by officers and soldiers were shotgun shells, and only a small number of bird guns were threatening.However, the Lumi guns equipped by the rebels had a long range and were poisonous, and their hit rate was relatively good.

In addition, the fisherman Zhouzi who got off the boat was originally a commoner, and he didn't dare to approach the river bank with a firearm. The artillery and quick guns in the hands of the officers and soldiers could not be effective.

Only a small number of bird guns could fight back and forth with the Lumi guns of the rebel army, but because of the small number, the officers and soldiers suffered.There was no way, this group of officers and soldiers fired several rounds and had to withdraw.

When these officers and soldiers were defeated and retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao Wenzhao summoned Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang and said: "This group of bandits is very brave. It really can't be compared with the bandits we encountered in the past. No wonder they were able to capture Luoyang City."

"A while ago, my nephew Cao Bianjiao led [-] elite soldiers across the river. You are all veterans of military affairs. You should know how powerful these people are. But I never thought that they would be killed and wounded by bandits in just a moment."

"Now I've sent soldiers to attack it with firearms, but I still can't win. Looking at it now, the Mengjin Ferry should not be taken lightly, and the opportunity to cross the river should not be taken suddenly. What do you two think?"

Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang still didn't understand Cao Wenzhao's intentions, so they quickly laughed and said, "There is more than one crossing for a thousand miles of Yellow River? In my opinion, it's better to make a sudden move and catch him off guard!"

Cao Wenzhao laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Sure enough, the heroes see the same thing. Forgive me for these rebellious officials and thieves who don't know how powerful I am Cao Wenzhao!"

After suffering losses that day, the officers and soldiers did not launch an attack again, but only sent some small boats to the river to detect the movement of the rebels.

Zhang Shun ignored him, but waited for Zhao Yutou and Zhao Lizi to come.Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao was even more overjoyed, and said in his heart: "The thief doesn't know the art of war, and if he doesn't investigate our army's movements, he is indeed seeking his own death!"

That night, Cao Wenzhao ordered Zhang Quanchang to lead more than [-] people under his command, Renmei, and Malekou, to go north along the north bank of the Yellow River quietly.

After traveling for more than ten miles, you will reach a ferry called Baihe Ferry.Since the Yellow River has passed through Sanmenxia, ​​the terrain has gradually slowed down, and the water has gradually slowed down. There are many ferry crossings in the land of Mengjin.

In ancient times, there were Xiashijin, Weisujin, Tiexie Ferry and other ferries, and later there were a series of ferries such as Baihe Ferry, Xiaoji Ferry, Garden Ferry, and Kaoma Ferry. It is not as outsiders imagined that there is only one ferry to cross.

However, with the passage of time, many ferries were abandoned due to river silting, and the more prosperous Tiexie Ferry became synonymous with Mengjin Ferry.This Tiexie Ferry is the place where Zhang Shun's grain transportation was hit last time, and it is also the place where the rebel army is stationed now.

However, apart from Mengjin Ferry, there are not no other ferries to cross the river.The Baihe Ferry is an example, but because of the historical changes, the Baihe Ferry has gradually declined.

Cao Wenzhao and others deceived Zhang Shun because he was young and didn't know geography, so they planned to sneak across the Yellow River at night.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Zhang Quanchang was afraid that the rebels' sharp eyes would see the fire, so he could only order the soldiers to cross the river in small boats.

Where is the fisherman and boat willing to cross?They could only protest: "It's dark and the wind is high, who dares to cross? If you accidentally get separated, it will be easy for the thieves to notice!"

Zhang Quanchang had no choice but to order them to light a lantern and barely illuminate it to cross the river.

In addition to the infantry, these more than [-] people also had [-] cavalry.There are only thirty or forty boats crossing the river, and the load is not heavy, so they can only go back and forth, non-stop transportation.

According to Zhang Quanchang's estimate, it will take about ten round trips to cross the river.As long as the river crossing is completed, the officers and soldiers will take the opportunity to set up camp here.Wait until tomorrow morning, before the army crosses the river.

Even if the rebel army found out about the officers and soldiers crossing the river later, unless they could smash the officers and soldiers camp in one fell swoop, they could only watch the officers and soldiers cross the river helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.

Once the officers and soldiers cross the river, Zhang Quanchang, the commander-in-chief, is confident to follow Cao Wenzhao to defeat the bandits and capture Luoyang City.

Cao Wenzhao thought very well, and Zhang Quanchang also thought very well, but the heavens are not beautiful!
Seven or eight hundred officers and soldiers have already passed through. Zhang Quanchang learned the lesson of Cao Wenzhao's failure and ordered them to line up on the south bank of the Yellow River.

He himself was standing on the bow of the ferry, but when the whole army crossed the river, he was preparing to set up camp overnight.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Quanchang suddenly saw a fire dragon coming from the southeast along the bank of the Yellow River.

When the fire dragon is a little closer, where is a fire dragon?It is actually composed of dots of torches.

The rebel army arrived at Baihe Ferry when the general Zhang Quanchang least expected it!
