This is an impossible task. All you have to do is take off the armor first, swim across it, and then use the rope to transfer the armor over.

Of course, such a move is more exaggerated than building a pontoon bridge, and it is also more vulnerable to attack, but Zhou Yu's move hit the weak link of Cao's army!

Because contrary to Jiangdong soldiers, most of the people in Cao's army do not know how to swim. Whether they are generals or ordinary soldiers, they are all landlubbers. For these people, rivers are natural barriers. Neither Cao Ren nor Han Hao can

They thought they could just swim across the river, because in their minds, it was impossible to cross the river without any equipment from deep water!

Therefore, Cao Zhen was dragged to the shallows upstream, and Cao Ren was attracted to the pontoon at the river bend downstream. Zhou Yu sent Pan Zhang from the middle to swim directly across, which effectively hit Cao Jun's tactical blind spot. Cao Jun had no clue in this direction.

Be prepared, no one expected Zhou Yu to attack like this!

What's the best way to attack an enemy force that's halfway across the river?

Naturally, it is impossible to go into the water to fight together, but to use long-range weapons.

This is common sense.

And if it goes against common sense, there is a problem.

In a cold weapon army, regardless of the strength or strength of the soldiers, there will always be the majority of melee soldiers. For example, the battle of the Scottish Longbowmen is a very special case. The long-range melee combat of most armies is based on the configuration.

It was recently arranged, and archers need a long time to train. They need more professional practice and longer training time than ordinary spearmen. Therefore, in cold weapon wars, the number of long-range soldiers is

It is often on the low side, and it is common for an entire army to have no ranged soldiers at all.

If Cao Zhen didn't bring archers at the beginning, it might be a show of force. Then Cheng Pu's attack downstream forced Cao Ren to bring archers, and the number of archers in the entire Cao army's camp was ultimately limited.

, after mobilizing left and right, when Pan Zhang attacked from the front again, the shortage of archers in Cao's camp was finally exposed.

The lack of archers means there are not enough soldiers in Cao’s camp!

When he saw that Cao Jun's camp could not send out a large number of archers to snipe Pan Zhang's troops, Zhou Yu finally relaxed. While laughing, he issued an order for a full-scale attack. The Jiangdong soldiers

Howling, they swarmed up in three directions from the south. Cao Ren on the other side also realized that his cover had been seen through and that it was meaningless to continue to hold on, so he led his troops and ordered a full retreat, using a strong camp to resist

Jiang Dongbing's attack...

……(╯-_-)╯~╩╩……

When Zhou Yu launched the offensive against Cao Jun's camp, the same sunshine also fell on Wancheng.

"Leave the city at noon! You can only go out but not enter!" Soldiers maintaining order at the city gates and streets shouted loudly, "Get in line! All lined up!"

"Archers, prepare! Shoot out of the forbidden line!" Zhang Lie shouted, "Everyone at the city gate, listen, get out of the shooting range! Otherwise, shoot and kill!" The archers on the top of the city raised their bows and fired the arrows with white feathers.

Arrows were shot out, marking the distance to the city gate within a stone's throw.

Under the shouts of the soldiers on the top of the city, some refugees stationed near the city gate stood up crookedly and shuffled slowly to escape.

Watching the refugees at the city gate gradually move away and disperse, Zhang Lie then ordered: "Open the suspension bridge! Open the city gate!"

Amidst the creaking sound, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, throwing up a puff of smoke and dust at the opposite bridge pier. The city gate slowly opened, and merchants who had already lined up in a queue, with guards escorting vehicles, cattle and horses, filed out.

Zhang Lie looked around, turned around and said to Pang Shanmin, "It's better to let these merchants go out. Let's not talk about the cattle and horses chewing and consuming them, but these guards...it will feel more peaceful if they leave!"

Pang Shanmin nodded, "That's right. There are many risks when entering and exiting the city gate. Please be more careful, Captain Zhang!"

"It's easy to say! This is a matter of duty!" Zhang Lie said, "All the guards' weapons in the city must be placed in the car and cannot be carried with them. There are also bows and arrows on guard, which must be tens of thousands..."

Before he finished speaking, a baggage truck's axle suddenly broke into two pieces with a snap at the city gate, and then the cargo vehicle suddenly overturned to the ground, and the cargo was scattered everywhere!

Pang Shanmin suddenly frowned.

Zhang Lie suddenly became alert and immediately shouted: "Everyone is on alert!"

Amidst the clatter of armor, not only the soldiers on both sides of the streets in the city raised their swords and guns, but also the archers on top of the city immediately turned their bows and arrows and pointed at the place where the vehicle overturned!

"Accident! It's an accident..." The leader of the caravan came out from behind the vehicle, raising his hands and waving, "It's the vehicle below..."

Seeing the person coming, Pang Shanmin's expression softened a little. He recognized the merchant leader as a member of the Huang family, who was originally going to transport the purchased goods to Guanzhong, "Hurry and clear the road!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The leader of Huang's merchant quickly called the guards and craftsmen to pack up the vehicle. As a result, the craftsman got under the vehicle, stretched out his hand to pick up the axle, and his expression suddenly changed, "This... this... this was deliberately sabotaged by someone!"

The section of the axle is not naturally broken, but has most of the saw marks, and only a few parts are connected together. It doesn't matter if the axle is empty, and it won't be visible. Of course, it will not be able to bear the load and break.

Come on.

When Pang Shanmin and Zhang Lie heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

The sound of shouting suddenly started!

Among the honest sheep-like refugees who were originally outside the city, many knife-wielding men suddenly ran out. They rushed into the caravan and started to kill indiscriminately, causing chaos. Some even took advantage of the city top.

The archers moved to the gaps in the city and ran straight towards the city gate!

At the same time, there were also noisy sounds in the city, like a response, resounding in the streets!
Chapter completed!
