Chapter 577 Beach Landing Operation

"Wait... this..."

As a southerner, Ma Su is a good swimmer. As soon as he jumped into the cold river, he immediately found the problem. Then he turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were still struggling, his face slightly darkened.

"General! I can't swim..." Jiang Wei was still struggling hard at this moment, and was directly pulled up by Ma Su!

"Stop struggling! Stand still! The water in the Yellow River is only above your chest now!"

After pulling Jiang Wei up, Ma Su turned around and roared with a dark face,

"Stop struggling! Stand still! The water is only above your chest, you won't drown!"

After Ma Su's roar, the soldiers who were still struggling but not drowning calmed down. When they calmed down and stood still, they found that the seemingly wide Yellow River water was actually barely above their chests...

In fact, the Yellow River in Luoyang was not deep to begin with. During the dry season every year, the water level is even smaller, and if you are lucky, you can wade across on horseback.

At this moment, the place where the Han army was attacked was near the center of the river, and there was a small river island with silt accumulation next to it. It was not deep to begin with, and because of the dry season, the river water was only above the chest...

"It's so embarrassing, I almost drowned in such a shallow place..." Ma Su said with a black face and shook his head speechlessly.

"If you could be calmer, I wouldn't have to come down to find this problem myself!"

"Ahem... General, in this case, we might as well let the cavalry wade across and attack the south bank!" Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed about this, coughed twice, and quickly changed the subject.

As soon as Jiang Wei said this, Ma Su also remembered this matter.

Since it is dry now and the river is so shallow, there is no point in forcing a crossing. Letting the army wade across the river on horseback can also give Guanqiu Jian a surprise!

"Bo Yue is right. Now is a good opportunity for a surprise attack!" Ma Su quickly climbed up the raft, snatched the big flag from the guards, and ordered the whole army to attack on horseback with flag signals.

At this time, Zhang Yi and Shu Ji watched the army crossing the river nervously on the north bank. Then, they saw the order for the whole army to attack conveyed by Ma Su.

"The whole army attacks? Does the general mean that we should swim across the river on horseback?" Zhang Yi was a little confused, but Shu Ji had already started.

"The whole army gets on horseback and charges to the south bank!" Shu Ji turned on his horse, and at the same time led Ma Su's mount, and issued an attack order to the whole army.

The general must have his plan for this order. As the person who has followed Ma Su the longest, Shu Ji will execute the order without hesitation at this time.

Under Shu Ji's decisive leadership, thousands of Han cavalry rushed into the river without hesitation. Then they found that the Yellow River was not as deep as they imagined, and crossing the river was not a problem at all.

So, a large number of Han cavalry began to rush towards the south bank.

Among them, the one who found it most difficult to accept was Guanqiu Jian. He was on the earth wall on the south bank, watching the Han army being safe and sound under his sneak attack, which instead aroused more Han cavalry to rush over.

"What is going on? Who can tell me how such a wide Yellow River can be so shallow that cavalry can wade across the river?" Guanqiu Jian couldn't accept it and said angrily with gritted teeth.

"Who is responsible for the defense of Luoyang Yin, why didn't you remind me?"

"Right General, the Grand Marshal reminded me that it is now the dry season, and the ferry is actually not very useful, but you didn't let me say..." The general next to him added weakly.

Guanqiu Jian: "..."

"Quick! Order the entire army to prepare for battle! Make sure to drive the Shu army into the river!"

At this point, Guanqiu Jian didn't intend to continue to investigate who caused the current situation, anyway, it was meaningless. Now he must try his best to stop the Shu army and prevent them from landing on the south bank.

Although the Han cavalry can easily cross the Yellow River now, it is not the end. Guanqiu Jian built a solid camp on the south bank early and built an earthen city on the spot.

These precautions are to deal with the Han army's landing on the beach, ensuring that even if the Han army lands successfully, it will be difficult to expand the results.

"Ma Su! Seven years ago, I was defeated by you because of the quality of my troops. Today I am with the elite of Wei. I wonder how you can defeat me!" Guanqiu Jian looked at the Han army approaching and gritted his teeth.

"Kill!!"

"Charge! Support the Han Dynasty!"

"Today is the day to make achievements!"

Countless Han soldiers shouted and crossed the Yellow River smoothly, and rushed to the south bank of the Yellow River aggressively.

"Soldiers! Follow me forward and defeat them!" Ma Su also abandoned the raft, rode directly on the mount that Shu Ji brought to him, and rushed to the beach first.

Under the personal leadership of Ma Su, the high-spirited Han army soldiers and the well-prepared Wei army collided with each other.

In just a moment, the calm beach turned into a huge meat grinder. Soldiers from both sides rushed forward desperately, and each of them rushed forward fearlessly.

At any time, the melee is the most cruel. Soldiers from both sides fought together, either alive or lying on the ground, there is no third choice.

In a very short time, a large number of soldiers became corpses lying on the ground. The blood gathered and flowed into the Yellow River, and even turned the surface of the Yellow River near the south bank red!

However, in such a tragic fight, the progress of the Han army was not smooth.

Ma Su rushed into the Wei army formation as smooth as ever, and the conflict was like a no-man's land. However, Ma Su rushed into the Wei army formation and killed three drums, but found that the follow-up troops did not keep up at all.

The combat effectiveness of these six-town troops and servants was obviously unqualified. Compared with Guanqiu Jian's elite Wei army, they were still far behind. Especially under Guan Qiujian's careful deployment, the Han army was blocked on a small beachhead and could not move.

Fortunately, although the Han army could not withstand the attack, the Wei army was not pushed into the water. The two sides can only continue to struggle on this beach until whoever can't hold on anymore.

And if it continues to be delayed, the Han army will obviously be the first to be unable to sustain it. After all, the Han soldiers were not only well-organized, but they also had to cross the Yellow River to fight on the south bank, so their physical strength might not be able to sustain them.

To this end, Ma Su responded quickly,

"Bo Yue, follow me, we have to behead him!" Ma Di quickly looked at the position of Wei Jun's commander's flag and made a decision immediately.

"If we look at the current situation, we will definitely lose, so we must capture the thief first and capture the king first, and kill Guanqiu Jian first!"

"So, all of you, follow me and charge!"

"No problem, General!" The personal guards who had followed Ma Su all year round replied without hesitation, and some of them even began to look nostalgic.

Since the Battle of Guanzhong, they have not followed Ma Su to ride into battle for three years.

"General, take us and charge again!"
