Northern Dynasties

Chapter 512 A crushing defeat

Heyang Zhongyu City was not too far away from the north bank. More than a dozen boats, large and small, were full of soldiers, and soon rushed into the water village on the north bank.

The expected counterattack did not occur, and even because many enemy boats moored in the water village went to the river to burn the river bridge, the entire dock was very empty.

The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty approached the bank almost without encountering any form of obstruction, and most of the soldiers also rushed to the river bank at the first time, and quickly formed a battle formation near the river bank.

The reason why it is said to be the majority is because several small boats capsized directly because they could not be controlled properly, and all the soldiers on board fell into the river.But this is not a big problem, the enemy has not organized any effective counterattack at all, so that they can calmly salvage their companions who fell into the water.

It is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the soldiers to land so smoothly.They suppressed their excitement, and while advancing in formation, they briefly conveyed the news here to the river through semaphore.

At this time, on the north bank of the river bridge, all the river fortifications are still intact, and the construction is much more comprehensive than that on the south bank. After all, this is the base camp of the Heyang defense line in the east.But among the various defenses, there are only sporadic servants wandering around, but there are no fully armed and organized defenders, which are naturally nothing but in name only.

After rushing out of the river embankment, there is a camp set up by the enemy along the river, and the camp stretches for several miles to the North Middle City of Heyang.

At this time, the camp was also empty, only some tents and messy flags that had not yet been dismantled remained, and the scene looked desolate and messy.As for the Heyang North Middle City not far away, the city gates are closed, and there are only a hundred guards on the top of the city, constantly walking and shouting, hoping to intimidate the enemy.

"Haha, these eastern thieves really abandoned their guards and fled!"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers who landed were also very excited, leaving hundreds of people guarding between the barracks on the river embankment, and the rest rushed towards the city under the orders of their respective commanders and generals.

"Brother, the bandit army has already landed, do you want to kill them!"

At this moment, Hu Luxian, who had already assembled the army at Beizhong City, turned to look at his brother Hu Luguang in the team and asked for instructions: "Aye is guarding the city. If I don't attack again, I'm afraid I will be disturbed!"

"Don't worry, wait a little longer! There are still more than ten thousand defenders in the city, and Aye Jiuli's army formation, how could he be easily disturbed by this!"

Hu Luguang waved his hands after hearing the words and said, although the enemy has already bit the bait, it is not the best time to pull the line.He has always believed in staying still, as long as he makes a move, the enemy will have no power to fight back.

At this time, the army of the Western Wei Dynasty had reached the bottom of Beizhong City, and the number of defenders on the top of the city also increased, and they all drew their bows and shot down.

Although the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were blocked by this, they did not panic. In their view, this was nothing more than the enemy's stubborn resistance and dying struggle.

It's just that, as the first strikers, they mainly test the enemy's reality, so they don't carry too much ordnance. The wooden fences in the enemy's camp erected layers of barriers around the city to prevent the enemy from breaking out and escaping.

At this time, both inside and outside of Zhonglu City were filled with a cheerful atmosphere. The people on the way had landed so smoothly, and all the people here had a panoramic view. Everyone became optimistic and anxious at the same time, hoping to set off as soon as possible. go north.

It should be noted that since the separation of the East and the West and the war between the two countries, the troops of the Western Dynasty have not attacked the land on the north bank of the Great River by this route.Now they took advantage of the enemy's chaos to achieve this breakthrough from zero to one. Just standing on the land of Hebei is a great achievement, enough to return to the country to praise their achievements and be rewarded!

At this moment, Yu Wenhu didn't need any more encouragement, and all the soldiers called for the battle one after another. Feeling the strong fighting spirit of the soldiers, Yu Wenhu was also full of pride and ambition, and immediately ordered another 5000 troops to continue the landing operation.

At this time, the crisis on the river has not been completely resolved. After seeing the movement of the troops and horses here, the enemies on the boat were obviously more anxious. The frequency of releasing fire boats downstream.

Yu Wenhu has always been looking forward to capturing Heyang North Central City, so he has been collecting ferries carefully.His hard work finally paid off today, allowing the army to have enough boats to cross the north to seize this excellent opportunity.

However, the threat of the enemy fleet in the upper reaches has not yet been resolved. Yuwen Hu put the overall situation first, and did not personally lead the troops to command the battle to capture Beizhongcheng. Bridge, and sent people to report the battle situation to Li Bi at Baiguwu on the south bank of Luoshui River, hoping that Li Bi could send an additional team over if conditions permit, so as to make the progress of the war here more stable.

Everyone has their own strengths. Yu Wenhu believes that he is not a brave general who can take the lead and fight the enemy bravely, and he is not as keen on gambling and taking risks like Li Boshan, but he has perseverance Fighter's keen insight, perseverance and full of wisdom, this is Yu Wenhu's positioning of himself.

The follow-up news from the middle school is that Daxingtai has personally led elite troops into Tongguan, and it is estimated that he intends to personally come to the Heqiao battlefield to command the battle, so as to realize the complete possession of the entire Heqiao.

Uncle probably never imagined that he would have the ability to capture Heyang City by himself!

Thinking of meeting at the river bridge in the future, and the surprised and gratified eyes that his uncle looked at him, Yu Wenhu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. When his eyes fell on the fleet of ships that had already arrived at the pier , this joy gushes out even more.

But soon, Yu Wenhu's smile froze on his face, because a group of people suddenly appeared behind the empty Beizhong City, and the smoke and dust rolled like dark clouds and pressed towards the river bank.

The terrifying pressure made Yu Wenhu, who was watching from a distance in Zhongli City, feel oppressed and breathless. As for the impact on the soldiers of the Western Army on the north bank, it was impossible to resist.

Seeing the unstoppable torrent of iron hooves rushing down, many soldiers were so startled that they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands and fell to the ground. After they reacted, their first action was to turn around and flee to the river bank.

Can't stop it, can't stop it at all!It is impossible to count how many of these ferocious cavalry there are, and the knives wielding in their hands are each shining with a frightening light. Wherever they travel, the grass and trees are destroyed, and there is no human body left!
The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the North Central City have been standing there until now. Seeing that the enemy has occupied their city and river bridges, their own side has been cautious and dared not launch an attack, and they have been depressed for a long time.Now that the enemy army has finally been brought to the river bank, it is natural to vent to the fullest!

At this time, on the north bank of the river bridge, for the soldiers of the Western Army, it was like a bloody Shura field, while for the soldiers of the Eastern Army, it was a hunting ground for fighting to their heart's content. The killing quickly spread from the bank to the river.

The [-] soldiers who landed first were slapped on the line of Linhe by the enemy's raging iron hooves almost instantly, and after losing a lot of lives, they were able to gain a foothold with the help of the enemy's fortifications.However, due to the sudden compression of the space for movement, some of the [-] soldiers who had landed as reinforcements from the rear were directly squeezed and fell into the river.

"Hurry up, continue to reinforce, reinforce! Don't back down, you will lose!"

At this time, Yuwen Huoyan was stunned for a moment when he saw the tragic scene of fighting on the opposite bank, but soon he shouted like a gambler who lost a bet to continue to increase the stakes, urging the left behind to continue to board the ship for reinforcements, send Hope to invest more troops to fight back.

However, it was obvious that what they had seen before was the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and adding reinforcements now would just be a vain effort to fill this bottomless pit with human lives.As the enemy cavalry ambushed on the opposite bank rushed out, the enemy fleet that had been wandering on the upper river also aimed its bow at the river bridge, and rushed towards it with the help of the current.

"It can't be saved, it can't be saved..."

The two left-behind superintendents rushed forward, trying to control the already irrational Yu Wenhu, but Yu Wenhu yelled as he struggled: "There is salvation, there is salvation! And, there is Li Taiwei, Li Taiwei, The Taiwei is in Baiguwu, so he will definitely arrive in time, and he will definitely..."

Accompanied by the roar of Yu Wenhu's self-anesthesia, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty on the shore had been killed. Although some boats carrying people successfully turned around and rushed out of the pier and returned to the river, the brigade of the Eastern Wei Dynasty had also boarded them. The boats left behind chased after them with their tails, and charged towards Zhongli City.

Bang, bang!

A loud crash came from the bridge deck. The defenders panicked and had no time to resist, causing the enemy boats from upstream to collide with the river bridge. This violent roar intensified the panic of the defenders. Many people could not help but run towards the south bank of the river bridge.

"It's too late, hurry up and escort Zhong Shangong to evacuate!"

Although the enemy boats on the opposite bank were still several miles away from Zhongli City, as the defenders on the river bridge in the south fled and landed, the situation in the city became difficult to control. Not daring to take the risk of guarding here again, he dragged Yu Wenhu, who was already ashen-faced, and rushed out of the city on Hezhou, and fled to the south before the river bridge was captured by the enemy.

"Rush, rush! Don't give the enemy a chance to land and stand in formation, and take back the two cities in one fell swoop!"

Standing on the deck of the warship, Hu Luguang saw a large number of figures fleeing southward on the river bridge, so he ordered and shouted repeatedly.
