King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 432

Zhao Hu has already obtained Li Lin's plan, and now he has won Qingzhou Donglai, and Tai Shici is mainly responsible for disturbing Cao's rear. The most important task of Zhao Hu is to lead his army to break through the defense of Cao Cao's Yellow River water army, break through the mouth of the Yellow River where Cao Jun's heavy troops are controlled, drive the army to the hinterland of Cao Cao's Yellow River, and open Li Lin's sea food road. It was exactly the plan that Xu Miao proposed to Li Lin from the very beginning, but such a plan can only be implemented with the greatest effect when Cao Cao is unprepared. Otherwise, if Cao Jun is free, he will be stalemate with Li Lin at sea, wasting more The timing is good, not to mention the lives of the soldiers, Li Lin's goal of fighting is simply impossible to achieve...

Fifty ships, a total of about [-] sailors, half of these soldiers are archers. The biggest means of water warfare is bows and arrows, but these archers are not pure archers. They can still fight with weapons In Zhao Hu's army, there are dragons on the water and tigers on the land, and the most elite are the seven sea-wind boats at the front. With such rapid penetration, their combat effectiveness has increased dramatically.

The big ship set off, and on the deck of one of the fifty ships with the "Liao" general flag, stood the murderous Zhao Hu, dressed in golden armor, with beards all over his face, and a forest knife hanging from his waist. , holding a big bow in his hand and a quiver on his back, the fully armed Zhao Hu looked murderously Linglie, looking at Cao Cao's Yellow River eyes with incomparable determination.

At the beginning, Li Lin didn't let Zhao Hu rush to attack Cao Cao's Yellow River navy, and let Cao Cao grasp the mouth of the Yellow River. A person with a gentle personality who hates fighting, on the contrary, Zhao Hu has a more violent personality and a person who is aggressive and aggressive. Once he was a coward, Zhao Hu hated Cao Cao's Yellow River navy for a long time.

Now, his army has fast warships and ships that can break through the water defense, and has occupied various ports in Donglai, Qingzhou. It can be said that all the conditions are met, and the shame is washed away. At present, at least Zhao Hu thinks it is a shame. …………

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Hu roared, "Get out! Loot Cao Cao's Yellow River navy and the water villages all over the Yellow River!"

"Awwhhh." There was no need for any horns to issue orders, and the howls of the soldiers in unison were the best signal to start the war. Among the troops recruited by the Liao Dynasty, there were also Yuan Tan's navy soldiers, and even more soldiers recruited in Qingzhou.

Zhao Hu was born as a bandit, and there are many bandits in the navy under his command. They are all colleagues, and of course they are all brave and ruthless... And it turned out that Youliao's army also had a strong relationship with Cao Cao's Yellow River navy. Unspeakable hatred, Zhao Hu was aggrieved, and they were also aggrieved...

"Order the sea wind warship to prepare for departure, and the remaining 43 ships are waiting thirty miles away from the ferry of the Yellow River!" Zhao Hu ordered...

"No!" The soldiers around immediately clapped their hands together, passing through the howling navy to deliver the order...

In the howling sound, there was an unusual excitement. At the beginning, only Zhao Hu was on a boat and the soldiers were howling, and in the end it became the roar of six thousand soldiers. This unison roar, I saw the sea wind boat at the front, the fifty footmen inside the boat roared in unison, stepping on the pedals vigorously, under the force of the footworkers, I saw the outer wheels slowly After a simple acceleration, the speed immediately increased sharply, and it flew towards the mouth of the Yellow River...

"It's really as fast as an arrow!" Once again feeling the speed of the paddle steamer, Zhao Hu couldn't help but let out a sigh. Although the sea boats behind them started almost at the same time, their speed was a lot slower, but It's okay, in this battle, these ships are not the main force, they are mainly responsible for moving...

He was even more confident in his heart. With such a warship, it was too easy to break through the river defenses. The closer he was to the mouth of the Yellow River, that is, the closer he was to the defensive fortress of Cao Cao's Yellow River Navy, Zhao Hu became more cautious. A lot, but caution is not about decreasing speed, but increasing speed. Speed ​​is the advantage. Only by relying on speed can we break through Cao Cao's first line of defense at the mouth of the lake. It is getting late at this moment, but the moon is high in the sky and the visibility is very high... ...

Inside the boat, the fifty footmen let out a muffled grunt, exhausting all their strength to wait for the pedals on their feet. The veins in the arms holding the handles in front were bulging, and the feet were turning at a very fast frequency. The smell of sweat pervades the inside of the ship...

But now the speed of these fifty feet is that the speed of the sea wind boat has reached the limit they can reach. Under the full force of these fifty feet, the fifty ships are really heading towards the Yellow River controlled by Cao Cao's navy. The water village sailed, and soon, under the illumination of the lights, the very bright ferry of Cao Cao's Yellow River water village appeared in front of him.

This is the first line of defense against Youliao.There were originally 5000 defenders, and the general in charge for the time being was Hong Cheng. He was in his 30s, fair-faced, with a moustache, and a rather mighty physique. Hong Cheng was also an old general of Cao Cao. Today, in fact, Hongcheng does not have much ability, but it is because of its own courage, daring to kill people, and now Cao Cao's generals are dead and injured, and some of them have to be released to other princes. And Cao Jun's navy is not very important in Cao Cao's eyes, that's why Hongcheng is where it is today...

Ever since Cao Cao went north to Hebei, Hong Cheng has been paying close attention to the situation of the Youliao navy. Youliao Zhao Hu, the general of the navy, is also well-known in the Bohai Sea. But I didn't expect the Youliao army to be so honest. After so long, my lord was repulsed by Li Lin in Hebei, and he hasn't come yet. However, Hongcheng has many years of experience in fighting, so he has never been against the Youliao army. Let down your vigilance...

Hearing that the Youliao army had attacked Qingzhou, Hong Cheng became even more careful and diligent, fearing that the Youliao army's water army would break through his defense and rush into the hinterland of the Yellow River of Cao Cao. The army is not very strong. Cao Cao's water army does not refer to a separate water army, but Cao Cao's Yellow River infantry. With a little training, they can become a water army. Tan's navy has a lot of experience in fighting against the Youliao's navy, so what worries Hongcheng most is not his own comfort, but the combat power of his subordinates...

Now Cao Cao is facing great difficulties in Yanzhou. Li Lin's Youliao army has gone south. Not only Cao Cao, but everyone is nervous. Hongcheng's navy is also facing a huge crisis. Now Cao Jun's navy is taking in Liu After He's navy, there are still a lot of people. There will be thousands of people guarding each water village, but he must be the first line of defense. If Zhao Hu of the Youliao army leads the navy to break through his first line The line of defense, the next line of defense, is dangerous, so Hong Cheng is cautious and has to be cautious...

He inspected the fortifications every two hours during the day and three times at night. Hong Wei would only sleep peacefully after the daily inspection. After returning from patrolling the ferry, he guarded such a large ferry alone, working hard.It's tough.While letting out a long breath, Hong Cheng couldn't help admiring his former general, Le Jin. Although he was doing the same thing, that man never showed signs of fatigue. Unfortunately, it was the one who raised him. The general, the general whom I admire very much, has died in the battle in Hebei, by the mighty Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong...

"Woooooo..." A series of horns sounded... The next moment, Hong Cheng jumped up and rushed to the front of the water village in a hurry, because a soldier in charge of watching found seven people on the river. A warship appeared in the distance, and the watchmen made a decisive decision and blew their horns.The naval army is different from the army. Because of the particularity of water warfare, a large number of soldiers will be kept on guard at night to temporarily intercept the enemy.

Following Hong Cheng's order, the gate in the water stronghold was immediately opened, and the five warships in the water stronghold immediately sailed out of the water stronghold. , as long as a little time, you can definitely intercept the opponent, no matter how bad it is, you can still follow behind, chase and kill...

But when the five warships came out, the soldiers on board could only see the tail of Zhao Huqi's warship, no... only some black spots, and then the black shop quickly disappeared. In their line of sight, when Hong Cheng arrived and entangled the elite soldiers in the ferry at the first moment, and when they got out of the water village, they saw five warships of their own side parked in the river in a daze. Hong Cheng was furious. Said: "Where are people?"

"Going far away..." The man in charge of the five warships was a military lord, and he replied blankly.

"Why didn't you chase? What's going on, what's going on!" Hong Cheng's voice was raised by three points, his eyes were almost on fire, and amidst Hong Cheng's repeated screams, the Junhou finally turned around God, also realized what happened......

They actually watched seven warships whizzing by. You know, there is a large blank area behind them. There is no defense, no navy defense, and the enemy army can wreak havoc...
