Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 638: Cut off the water

After the Muye World War I wiped out Fan and the BOC Allied Forces, and killed two heavyweight nobles in a row, Zhao Wuxi regained his confidence, but he was not overly proud. ∽↗, x.

He must despise the enemy in strategy and pay attention to the enemy in tactics. This is what he has learned from previous wars.

Nearly 1,000 Zhao soldiers were killed or injured in this battle. Within acceptable limits, the wounded and the prisoners of the Handan clan were sent to Jijin Ferry in the south for proper placement. Then, Zhao Wuxi took advantage of the great victory, took Muyi lightly, rested for two days, and after deliberately showing off his power outside Chaoge City, he left some light cavalry and disciples to make a big suspicion here, and he personally led five Thousands of people traveled westward, heading towards Qinshui.

Zhao Wuxi had not swelled to the point where he thought that five or six thousand exhausted soldiers could conquer Chaoge, and he was capable of defeating more than ten thousand Dongyang soldiers of the Zhongxing clan. Now he wanted to avoid fighting with inferior troops. The plan now is to fight against Fan Jishe with Zhao Yang and bury Fan's living strength in the field.

Along the way, they paid great attention to the secrecy of their whereabouts: they bypassed the densely populated areas and traveled along the sparsely populated north bank of the Great River, and finally arrived near Qinshui two days ago. People smuggled across the river and got in touch with Zhao Yang on the other side.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yang was also busy preparing to dive across the Qinshui.

...

It has been ten days since Zhao Yang was stopped by the Qinshui River by Fan Ji's shooting. While waiting for Zhao Wuxi's action, they were not idle. During the period, several attempts to smuggle in were unsuccessful and hundreds of soldiers were lost.

In the face of this so-called "fighting against the water, the enemy is rich and many, and I am poor and few. If you exceed the water, you will not be able to advance, and if you want to last a long time, you will have little food." After all the retainers summed up their experience, Yang Hu offered a plan.

"Although the flood season is approaching. But the Qinshui is not wide and the river is not deep. The best way to cross the river is to cut off the river from the upper stream."

Zhao Yang asked, "How to cut off the water?"

"In those days when Dayu was controlling the flood, he imitated the Hehe River otter to build a dam and use it as a soil bag to cut off the water. This technique has been passed down to this day. I saw people use this method to fish in Lu. The people are digging earth to make sacks, and I went upstream to investigate. As long as I can make 5,000 earth sacks, it is enough to cut off the flow of water and enable the army to cross the river!"

Although the Han family was reluctant to send troops to fight, they still did their best to provide baggage and labor. Three to five thousand people from the Han family in the prefecture, Huai, Yewang and other three places were recruited to help, and they quickly made five. Six thousand soil bags.

After getting in touch with Zhao Wuxi, in addition to being amazed at his son's good fight, things became simpler.

"At 14:00 on April 27th, the sky will be dark. I threw the soil bag in the Yewang area to cut off the water. At 3:00 Xu, the Qinshui had been cut off, so I let Han's laborers pretend to be the main force and go upstream with torches. Pretend to cross the river in order to mobilize Fan's troops. When Hai Shi, I personally led the main force to dive a few miles south of the camp. At the same time, you also attacked Fan's camp from the back to contain Fan's forces. Etc. After our army crosses the river, we can attack them together!"

The plan looks very feasible. At every moment, the upper-class Han people piled up tree trunks and soil bags into the river, cutting off the flow of water. Fan's pawns were also attracted by the suspicious soldiers, so they branched out and went upstream to intercept them. When everything was ready at Hai Shi, Zhao Yang ordered the army to start diving.

It is very difficult to completely cut off the river water by relying on the soil bag alone, and it can only make the water level fall. There is still stagnant water in the river, the shallow part is not knee-deep, and the deep part is waist-deep. In addition, the soil at the bottom of the river is soft and slippery, and it is not easy to walk through the water.

The elite Zhao clan in black still swam across the river without making a sound, reached the other side in the dark, and began to deal with the sporadic Fan clan guards on the shore. Many of them were born in light chivalry, with outstanding personal martial arts, and they played a role in large-scale battles. It's not big, but it is suitable for being a vanguard-type sharp knife, which is regarded as a special force in the Zhao army.

However, after passing through nearly a hundred people, he was noticed by Fan's sentry tower. A golden drum sounded, Fan began to notice the downstream, and the submerged crossing could only become a forced crossing.

For a time, the flames spread across both sides of the Qinshui River. Not only did the enemy fire torches, but Zhao Jun, who had been crossing the river in the dark, also set up torches. Zhao Yang and Fan Jishe, who had long been disgusted with each other in the court, looked across the river. One was impatient, and the other hated Zhao with the loss of a son, and both wanted to defeat the enemy immediately.

At this time, the east of Fan's camp was also attacked. Fan Jishe was not only unable to transfer the first division of the outer camp, but had to send Wang Sheng to stabilize his position.

"The comer must be Zhao Wuxi. It must be a trick of Zhao's father and son tonight. Now we can only try our best to defend them and defeat their attacks separately. By dawn, the enemy's first-mover advantage will disappear."

Before leaving, Wang Sheng also offered a plan: "The way Taigong leads the army, if the enemy army crosses the river to attack, don't attack in the river, but take advantage of them to attack when some of them have crossed, and some have not crossed halfway, this is more advantageous! "

So Fan Jishe let some of the Zhao soldiers come over, and then let Fan's soldiers press on them together, fighting around the hundreds of Zhao soldiers who were crossing the river, and at the same time lined up on the shore to prevent the Zhao soldiers from crossing.

...

In the night, arrows came and arrows, and there were screams on the shore and in the water. From time to time Fan Bing retreated injured, or Zhao Bing fell into the river. The blood they shed seemed to dye the water even redder, and the torches blazed brightly on both sides of the river. combustion……

Zhao Bing began to speed up the crossing of the river under the command of Yang Hu. After some Fan Bing was feigned and moved to the upper reaches, the two sides were evenly matched in numbers. But Fan was defending on the shore, and Zhao Jun was attacking across the river. The bottom of the river was muddy, and they fell into a pit with one step. They couldn't charge, so they were at a disadvantage for a while.

However, the pressure on Fan's soldiers was getting bigger and bigger. Fan Jishe began to regret what he had done halfway through the attack, because Zhao's soldiers were so brave that it was difficult to push them back. These people are like a herd crossing a river.

The Zhao family raised more than a thousand diners, many of whom were young heroes who traveled around the world. Zhao Yang's frank personality was very appetizing to them. Under the leadership of Zheng Long, these diners formed a death squad. They bare their arms. Holding the sword, he shouted: "Be loyal to the Lord, just today!" He began to scream and launch a suicide attack towards the opposite bank.

Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, Zheng Long rushed to the shore with the water. Like a tiger entering a flock, Fan Bing could not stop it.

The hundred of Zhao's dead soldiers he brought may not be the strongest in terms of bravery. But they all felt Zhao Yang's kindness, and everyone dared to fight. Many of the Fan Bing who intercepted them on the shore were also from Chaoge Sword Palace. They are all dead men trained by Fan He, but their energy is far inferior to that of Zhao's diners.

Zhao Yang is a very charismatic person. He has clear love and dislikes, is generous, takes great care of the diners, and is quite able to win people's allegiance to the death. Fan Jishe's father and son are small tools. They can't push clothes and clothes, push food and eat, and many talents are buried. So Fan's diners are not as brave as Zhao's diners.

In addition, after adopting the method of reforming the family by Deng Xi from the State of Zheng, the Zhao family formulated a relatively fair method of reward and punishment, and at the same time borrowed Zhao Wuxi's method of granting fields for military merit. Everyone does their best. Fan's rewards and punishments are unfair. These things don't have obvious effects in normal times. When it's time to fight to the death, the gap is instantly reflected.

The armor and the sword on both sides collided, and the flesh and blood flew. People keep falling down with injuries. But in general, the Zhao clan gradually gained the upper hand. With the fighting of the dead, the hundreds of Fan soldiers on the shore were quickly forced back and a large area was cleared. This is a landing point opened up with life and blood!

The opportunity could not be missed, and Zhao Jun, who was blocked in the middle of the river, was quite motivated, and they began to risk their lives to advance. Although there is water in the river. The bottom of the river was muddy, and there was a rain of arrows shot down by the enemy. But under the defense of the shield player, under the counterattack of the crossbow. More than a thousand Zhao soldiers resisted the enemy's arrows and slowly walked through the road of death that lasted more than a hundred paces.

Finally, the soldiers with long soldiers rushed to the shore and held a united formation.

The shield player is in the front, the spear player next, the crossbow player again, the armored soldier with the sword and the guards in black are on the left and right of the crossbow player. space.

The armored soldiers advanced with their shields held up, the spears pecked or stabbed behind the shields, the archers shot arrows in the sky, the crossbowmen aimed at the officers on the opposite side from the gap between the shields, and the sword-wielding ones slashed at the enemy who was trying to get close. The Zhao family's phalanx was no less than the Bank of China and the Wei family. They were like a bronze hedgehog, advancing step by step. Every inch and every foot of movement would cost a few lives. There were enemies, and there were their own.

Zhao Bing has experienced several battles in the past few years. His opponents range from Rong Di to Qi Wei, and he has more experience in fighting than Fan Bing. What's more, after the forcible crossing was successful, in this part of the battlefield, their troops had the upper hand.

The battle situation began to tilt towards Zhao.

Zhao Yang took Yang Hu and others to look at it from a distance, and saw that thousands of Fan soldiers lined up on the opposite bank were a little flustered after being bitten by Zheng Long and others. He wanted to rush this way, the armor and clothes collided with each other, and the scene was quite chaotic.

Yang Hu said according to the sword: "Fan Jishe's talent can only be the commander of the first division. It is still a little difficult to command properly in this melee situation."

Zhao Yang's heart moved: "What about me?"

"The lord is the courage of the three armies. If the lord is there, the three armies will march forward bravely, and do not know what death is."

Zhao Yang asked again, "Where's Wu-shirt?"

Yang Hu thought for a moment and then said: "The gentleman is only the commander of the army now, but given time..."

Zhao Yang raised his eyebrows: "What will he do in the future?"

"Given time, he may be able to rule over 100,000 heroes and be invincible in the world..."

Zhao Yang said nothing, smiled slightly, looked at the battle situation on the other side and said, "I hope so!"

Under the firelight, Zhao's Xuanbird Banner and Fan's Royal Dragon Banner were intertwined. Beneath them, countless faces were flashing, countless weapons were assassinating, and countless voices were shouting in unison:

The wounded are screaming, the warriors are screaming, and the dead are sighing silently.

The torches connected into a sea of ​​fire, burning the shore and burning the river.

At this anxious moment, an even more dazzling flame burst out from Fan's outer camp. It was so dazzling that it would light up the entire night sky!

Against the backdrop of this raging flame, the golden drums from the east were louder and more excited than before, and the shouts of killing became more and more high-pitched. Zhao Yang and Yanghu looked at each other, such a big battle, could it be that the outside camp Is the battle more intense than here?

Fan soldiers were horrified when they saw this~lightnovelpub.net~ Now there are Fenghe tigers in front, and arson wolves in the back. Under the attack of the two, they have been shaken, and they have become more and more unstable on the river bank.

"What happened over there?" Fan Jishe, who was blinded by his son's blood feud, was also a little surprised, regardless of the upcoming defeat.

At this moment, an Anche that was blackened by the flames drove fast from the outside. There was a middle-aged man with dusty clothes and dusty face on it.

It was Wang Sheng who went to the outpost to supervise the battle. Fan Jishe found that he even had half of his eyebrows and beard burned off. With that serious face, he looked extremely funny.

But Fan Jishe couldn't laugh.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Sheng couldn't wait for the car to stabilize, so he stumbled and jumped down, shot his bow at Fan Ji, and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhao Wuxi used his troops to invade like fire, but the minister was powerless to resist, and the outer camp fell. Zhao soldiers set fire everywhere in the camp, and our army is in chaos! If your lord escapes before it's too late, otherwise, it will be too late!"
