Chapter 335 The Battle of Fuchun (8)

Zhao Lei didn't have many troops at first, and suddenly lost more than 1 people. It was indeed a sad thing for him, and those who died in the battle were all fresh lives.I don't know when he started to include reducing unnecessary casualties in his consideration.

After thinking for a while, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he blew out the candle and went to bed.

The next day, the sky cleared, and the scorching sun came out early in the morning, shining on the earth with its warm sunshine, but the Fuchun City on the earth became a pile of ruins under the sunshine of Yangzhou.

Under the sun, the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army did not feel happy because of the victory of this battle. Instead, they felt more grief and resentment, as well as the remembrance of the dead brothers. All of them felt heavy.

The soldiers were still carrying the corpses and stumps on the ground. They separated the corpses of the Han people and the Dongyue people, and threw all the corpses of the Dongyue people together for incineration. Soldier.

This time, Zhao Lei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Lei Mu, Wen Chou, Xu Chu and Dian Wei who just arrived in the morning took [-] West Yue cavalry and Dian Wei's [-] Yangzhou soldiers and left at dawn. Everyone had a good night's rest After that, their fatigue was relieved, and everyone's spirits were very good.

At the edge of the river, Boone just woke up from his sleep. Seeing that his subordinates were still trying to tie the raft, and many of them had been pulled out, he felt a little relieved in his heart.After getting up, Boone changed into a suit of armor and rode on a horse. Boone came to the bank of the river. Seeing that the current was not so fast and the water level of the river had dropped, he was extremely happy in his heart.But when he was still happy, suddenly an East Vietnam cavalry came to report that he had found a large number of West Vietnam cavalry and Zhao Lei's Yangzhou Army.

Boone was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ordered: "Cross the river quickly, cross the river quickly. It will be a disaster if the enemy chases you."

As soon as the sound from one side fell, the sound of horseshoes rolling like thunder was heard from the other side. Zhao Lei in the Yangzhou Army took the lead, followed closely by Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wen Chou, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Lei Mu, followed by ten thousand majestic cavalry and a mixed formation composed of three thousand Yangzhou soldiers.

"West Vietnamese cavalry is here, West Vietnamese cavalry is here!" some East Vietnamese soldiers shouted, their voices full of panic.

The Dongyue people have experienced yesterday's battle, plus the manual labor of cutting down trees and building rafts overnight, and they are already exhausted physically and mentally. When they saw their powerful enemy coming at this time, they rushed to tell each other.All of a sudden, the [-] Dongyue riders scattered along the river bank fell into a panic and put the already tied rafts into the water one after another.

However, the trees were washed by the rain last night, and the cut wood was also covered with water. The raft made of wet wood did not float up after being put into the water, but sank and was swept away by the river.

Seeing this situation, Boone was quick to think, and immediately pointed at the two generals and shouted: "You take people to stop the West Vietnamese... You take people to take off the saddles and tie them under the raft, quickly, quick!"

The general didn't dare to disobey Boone's order, so he jumped on his horse immediately, called a group of people to ride to the front, and shouted loudly: "There is a big river in front, and there are pursuers behind. We will fight to the death and escort your lord. Cross the river!"

As expected of the Dongyue people's strict military discipline, as soon as the athletes on the grassland heard the general's shout, some people jumped on their horses one after another, gathered together with the determination to die, and displayed all the last bit of blood on them.

All of a sudden, the cavalry of the East Yue people quickly gathered together. They were scattered and had no formation at all. They took up the weapons in their hands one after another. The bows, arrows and sabers were well prepared, and they followed the general to block the front.

Zhao Lei saw that the Dongyue people in the distance had adopted a defensive strategy, and the scattered people quickly gathered together, and immediately reined in the horses. At the same time, he raised his hands high and shouted: "Stop advancing!"

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun rode their horses to Zhao Lei's side, looked forward intently, and only heard Zhao Yun say: "My lord, it seems that the Dongyue people are going to fight with their backs."

This is what Zhao Lei is most worried about. If the Dongyue people fight with their backs, it may be a hard fight for him, and the Dongyue people outnumber them in terms of military strength.However, all of this was within his expectations. He thought about it all night last night. At this time, seeing more and more East Vietnamese cavalry gathered, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and clapped his hands: "Great, great, let's go again!" Gather up a little more."

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were taken aback, and looked at Zhao Lei with extremely surprised eyes, unable to figure out the meaning of Zhao Lei's words.

"Xu Chu, take a thousand cavalry to the left flank. Dian Wei, take a thousand cavalry to the right flank. No one is allowed to attack without my order!" Zhao Lei immediately gave the order and shouted loudly.

Xu Chu and Wen Chou made a "promise" in unison, and each took a thousand cavalry to scatter on the left and right wings.

The Dongyue people gathered more and more, and the Dongyue people formed a human wall on the long river bank, and the horses neighed, and the athletes on the horses all had hideous expressions.Behind them, Boon put the saddled raft into the water, seeing the first raft sank on the surface of the water, and then floated up again in a while, he was very happy in his heart.

"Put all the rafts into the water quickly, and retreat one after another!" Boon led his horse onto the raft, and under the protection of a few East Vietnamese warriors around him, he floated slowly downstream with a pole along the gentle current. In the past, I no longer care about the people on the river bank.

The Dongyue people on the bank of the river saw that their lord had left, and they all had a great desire to survive in their hearts. They followed Boone's example, put the raft into the river, jumped on it with their horses, and went down the river. Gradually drifted across the river.

The East Vietnamese had already gathered together, and everyone was prepared to face the West Vietnamese cavalry with the determination to die, but the West Vietnamese cavalry who were chasing stopped there, as if they were not in a hurry to attack, and the tribe behind them Relying on rafts to cross the river one after another, I felt a little unbalanced in my heart.

"My lord, it seems that one or two hundred Dongyue people left on rafts. If we don't attack now, I'm afraid that more and more Dongyue people will go away." Ma Chao looked at the distant river bank and saw the center of the river floating away. A dozen or so rafts gradually floated towards the opposite side of the river, and they immediately said to Zhao Lei.

"What's the hurry? It hasn't achieved the effect I want yet!" Zhao Lei ignored Ma Chao's suggestion and laughed.

"My lord, let's attack. The Dongyue people didn't rest all night, and their bodies are wet. If they attack at this time, they will definitely be able to defeat the Dongyue people!" Ma Chao glanced at the Dongyue people on the opposite side, fearing that they would all run away in a while , he won't get any credit, and shouted again.

Zhao Lei smiled sinisterly at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Wait a minute, now is not the time to attack. Meng Qi, don't worry, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds, and it will be up to you and Zilong in a while."

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun looked at each other and looked at each other. Hearing Zhao Lei's words, they cheered up a bit and swiped the spears in Chuo's hands, ready to show off their skills.

After another ten minutes, Zhao Lei saw more and more Dongyue people drifting away with the help of rafts, and the wall of people that had assembled in a line gradually began to loosen. He smiled, and immediately shouted: "Xu Chu, Dian Wei, the two wings turn around and attack from left to right!"

"Promise!" Xu Chuhe and Dian Wei had also grown impatient for a long time, and when they heard Zhao Lei's order, they replied very happily.

"Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, order the two of you to lead five thousand cavalry to storm the center of the enemy army. You must rush over in one breath and cut off the Dongyue people. After breaking through, immediately divide into a team of 100 people and attack Dongyue from different directions. Disturb the team from the inside. Wen Chou, Lei Mu, order you two to shoot and kill the Dongyue soldiers who are about to cross the river and the Yue soldiers who have just crossed the river." Zhao Lei then said to Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wen Chou and Lei Mu said.

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wen Chou, and Lei Mu shouted "No" at the same time, and they rushed over together with [-] riders.

Zhao Lei looked back at the remaining [-] cavalrymen, and said to them: "All of you, get ready, it will be our turn in a while!"

"My lord is mighty!" the soldiers replied.

The East Vietnamese cavalry gathered in the open space by the river bank. When they saw the West Vietnamese cavalry attacking from three sides, they immediately reacted and shot arrows at the rushing cavalry with their bows and arrows.

Zhao Lei watched the entire battlefield, but seeing countless arrows flying towards the attacking Xiyue cavalry, he couldn't help worrying about it.But just when he was worried, he suddenly saw all the Xiyue cavalry turned over and hid under the horse's belly one by one, using their skillful riding skills to avoid the arrows flying overhead, and hid in one kick.Moreover, the horse kept rushing forward, holding a halberd or spear in its armpit, passing the tip of the halberd and spear over the horse's head, as if putting a sharp blade on the horse, and relying on the horse's impact force He quickly rushed towards the wall of people composed of Dongyue people.
