    " Therefore, what happened in Jizhou today is that hungry people have sprung up, their lives are in ruins, and the people are in dire straits. Our army is not going here for the Yuan family, but for the people of Jizhou! Therefore, when the Weiyuan Army goes north, it must focus on people's livelihood and military affairs.  Assistance, ensuring food transportation and relieving hungry people, logistics supply is the top priority! Zilong is steady, you should know my heart! Remember, remember!"

    The bank of the Yellow River, Baimajin, August 28th.

    Zhao Yun took out a piece of paper in his hand and looked at it again and again, and finally put it into his arms with great care. Looking at everything in front of him, he felt a mixture of emotions.  We are finally heading north, and the time for the decisive battle has finally arrived!  I only learned from Li Zhe's handwritten letter that this opportunity was realized at the cost of millions of hungry people in Jizhou being displaced!

    In order to create such an opportunity, the intelligence agency headed by Guo Jia racked their brains and used all kinds of tricks. I don't know how much effort and conspiracy methods they used, and finally turned Yuan Benzhu's situation in Jizhou into a mess.  The society is in chaos. In this chaos, I don¡¯t know how many families have been destroyed and how many people have lost their lives!

    As a general of his own side, he had no position to blame Li Zhe, Guo Jia and others.  As enemies, with opposing positions, it is most reasonable to seize every opportunity to attack the opponent by any means.  This move will greatly reduce the resistance to military operations and greatly contribute to the political operation of heading north to capture Jizhou. Zhao Yun will be the main beneficiary of this operation. What can he complain about?

    As a Hebei native, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel sad for the elders in his hometown!  Is this really the only way to fight for world hegemony?

    It¡¯s finally time to head north!  Zhao Yun felt mixed feelings in his heart. At the moment, the best way to compensate for this mess is to use the most rapid military action to solve the problem as soon as possible!

    Cross the river!  Cross the river!  Liberate Hebei!

    Beside Zhao Yun, everyone at the White Horse Ferry on the bank of the Yellow River is ready.  From west to east, hundreds of ferries of different sizes were lined up, stretching for more than ten miles; tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the shore, like the ever-floating waves of the creeping Yellow River.  Like hundreds of tentacles, they boarded the boat in an orderly manner, waiting for the final crossing of the river.

    The wide river is several miles away. The Penglai fleet was transferred from the Zhenhai Navy all the way up the Yellow River. Dozens of large and medium-sized warships were majestic. They were sitting in the middle of the Zhenjiang. The hatches of various weapons on both wings of the ship were opened, and they all moved towards Yuan Jun on the north bank.  The river defense camp is full of deterrence.

    A few days ago, the Penglai fleet was ordered to go north to support the army's river-crossing operation. As soon as it arrived at Baima Ferry, it immediately caused a commotion among Yuan's army on the north bank. On the Yellow River, there are usually small boats of several tons or ten tons. It is rare to see such a large warship.  With the arrival of these giant battleships, is it obvious that they are going to cross the river?

    Yuan Jun's navy immediately dispatched, and hundreds of small boats swarmed on it, wanting to kill wolves and tigers to compete with the Penglai fleet.  Unexpectedly, the Penglai fleet opened fire and fired ten thousand guns, immediately annihilating half of Yuan Jun's Yellow River navy. Even the later fire ship tactics were destroyed one by one by the Penglai fleet from a long distance away.  has an effect.

    In the end, I could only retreat to the camp obediently, and watched helplessly as Gong Dubu, the first regiment of the Weiyuan Army led by Zhao Yun, prepared to cross the river in an orderly manner on the White Horse Crossing. They were about to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai, but there was nothing they could do!

    Cross the river!

    At noon, the army was ready and the first wave headed towards the north bank.

    The Penglai fleet took the lead and headed towards the north bank.

    On the shore of Yuan Jun, tens of thousands of soldiers were already lined up. The entire garrison at White Horse Ferry was dispatched to welcome this final blow!  Trebuchets, ballistas, and archers were arrayed along the river. The city wall composed of oars and shields had already been lined up neatly, forming a continuous defense for several miles along the river bank to prevent Li Zhe's army from forcibly crossing!

    The large ships of the Penglai fleet sailed into the north bank. They were still a few hundred meters away when Yuan Jun's heavy firepower began to wreak havoc!  Huge rocks and dense spears fell like rain!  The momentum was also full, and the Penglai fleet was unable to get close.

    Zang Ba's flagship rushed ahead. Just as it was about to rush forward and bombard it, a huge boulder from the opponent hit the deck, causing a huge hole. The deck was in a mess, and the side of the ship was covered with bullets.  Crossbow arrow!

    "Hey! Danger! Retreat! Retreat!" Zang Ba shouted loudly, almost being hit by flying sawdust, and he still had lingering fear in his heart.  He said to the old buddy Sun Guan beside him: "I didn't expect that this old boy Yuan Shao's imitation of the trebuchet was quite good. The range seems to be two hundred meters! I really can't underestimate him!"

    Sun Guan was a little speechless: "Yuan Benchu ??was the leader of the princes alliance back then, and he was the most powerful in the world. When he entered Luoyang, he collected all the arsenals and craftsmen's offices. It was not easy for some of the great craftsmen under his command! This trebuchet was used by Cao Cao back then.  Shangshu also made it, why couldn't Yuan Benchu ??make it???!  "

    "Humph! It seems that this attack should be carried out slowly!" Zang Ba was still unhappy in his heart.

    The Penglai fleet had to quickly return to a distance of about 500 meters. At this distance, Yuan Jun's trebuchets were powerless and the ballistas could only shoot very few, and then they finally began to show off their power.  In such a heavy firepower battle, there is no room for small boats to show off their power. All the clippers of the Penglai fleet fell behind, and the main force was still eight square-shaped ships!

    The boats were lined up in a row, with their sides facing the shore. The gun windows on the sides of the boats were opened one by one. The six-pound cannon with the longest range was the first to fire. Amidst the loud noise, white smoke jumped up and filled the river.  The iron projectiles flew hundreds of meters in an instant and bombarded the Yuan Army's position on the shore. Under the flying cannons and rocks, the powerful kinetic energy immediately destroyed everything around them, leaving a mess everywhere they hit.  The Penglai fleet formed a group with several artillery pieces and formed a cluster attack mode to name the trebuchets that threatened Yuan Jun the most.

    After half an hour of this bombardment, Yuan Jun's heavy firepower finally couldn't sustain it. Most of the trebuchets on the position were lost, and all the soldiers were injured and killed. Only the ballistae remained. The firepower gradually began to become scarce.  .  Zang Ba saw it and was very happy!  Immediately ordered the main fleet to continue moving forward, bearing a certain amount of casualties caused by the opponent's giant crossbows with a longer range, and began to approach and shoot!

    At a distance of three hundred meters, the other cover-level forces on the building ship could finally show off their power. Suddenly, the situation changed, thunder roared, and hundreds of tigers rushed together. Repeated crossbows, dense gasoline bombs and projectiles formed a continuous rain of bullets, falling from the sky.  Covering the enemy's heavy fire position.  In just ten minutes, the enemy's remaining ballista and trebuchet positions were ignited into flames. In the flames, the craftsmen and soldiers operating them screamed, and they died together with the equipment before they could even escape.  Almost exhausted.

    "Oh my god! The enemy's heavenly master's divine thunder and sky fire! Run for your life!" Wave after wave of fear in Yuan Jun's formation continued to spread.

    Everything in front of them made the soldiers of the Yuan Army in the formation feel frightened. They kept retreating, and the entire formation moved farther and farther away from the river bank!

    "Steady! Steady! Don't be afraid, that's just a trick of the enemy's demon master!" The officers of Yuan's army had to shout to stabilize their emotions. The troops behind them were heavily guarded by sharp swords, barely maintaining Yuan's army's formation.

    Go!  Zang Ba quickly communicated with Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun then sent out a signal for a general attack!

    Woo!  Woo!  Wu¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThe horn sounded immediately on the river. Behind Zang Ba¡¯s main fleet, thousands of sailboats raced and hundreds of boats competed for the current. Densely packed troop transport ships filled the river, forming a huge black carpet that extended toward the north bank.

    All the ships of the Penglai fleet gathered together, approached the accessible shore, launched a fire formation against the oar shield wall on the shore, and carried out intensive bombardment.  For a moment, bullets rained down one after another. Yuan Shaojun's shield wall was covered with dense iron projectiles. Some of the huge shields were directly penetrated by the projectiles. Broken wood and stumps flew everywhere, leaving streaks of blood in the crowd behind the shield.  slots, and some immediately exploded into pieces of wood that filled the sky, turning the surrounding space into a large pool of blood.

    And the ensuing rush of tigers is even more vicious. Once each rocket explodes, it will be a fire with a wide coverage, turning the position into a sea of ????fire!  To attack a dense crowd, a weapon like Hundred Tigers Running Together is even more amazing!  The sixteen hundred tigers on the eight ships were launched, turning into a sea of ????fire with a radius of 100 meters and 16 groups in Yuan Jun's camp!  Seeing his colleagues screaming and running around in front of him, they were burned to ashes by the unquenchable fire!  The soldiers of the Yuan Army who were within the attack range finally couldn't hold on any longer. They were trembling and trembling all over, turned around and started running away!

    From behind the Penglai fleet, countless small troop carriers emerged and docked directly near the water. The cabins were opened, and the heavy infantrymen in full iron armor rushed out of the open cabins shouting, wading through the shallow water and heading straight to the shore.  In the blink of an eye, they rushed into Yuan Jun's camp and started fighting!  Yuan Jun's formation was broken, and his morale was severely damaged by the fleet's fire attack!  Under the attack of these elite troops ashore, they were retreating steadily. The landing field was expanded bit by bit by the opponent, and the formation moved further and further back.

    Subsequently, more and more Li Zhe's army troop transports came ashore, and the dragon spearmen, crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, Mo Dao soldiers the large groups of soldiers began to reorganize their teams, arranged in a square formation, and launched Li Zhe's army's unparalleled round of fire.  The phalanx began a massive attack. Under the rain of arrows, the suppressed Yuan Jun retreated steadily.

    Finally, the large and medium-sized transport ships docked, and even the mobile ballistas on board were brought ashore to launch targeted attacks on the remaining remnants of the oar shield city wall!  After that, Li Zhejun's landing soldiers were like a mountain and sea, and they continued to press against Yuan Jun's weak formation. Half an hour later, Yuan Jun's formation finally collapsed completely!  The defeated troops scattered all over the river bank and fled inland. Li Zhejun quickly took control of the ferry and sent a small number of elite troops to pursue and detect the terrain.The position extends inland!

    Zhao Yun, the commander-in-chief of the army, who was using a telescope on a large ship in the rear, issued an order to start the second step of the cross-river campaign. He established a large camp on the spot, expanded the landing site, and sent several soldiers to attack the surrounding Yuan Junjun.  County, open up the theater depth.  Behind him, endless army baggage and logistical militiamen were transported by ant-like boats to the north bank and piled up on the ferry (To be continued.
