Chapter 158: Medium Scheme
Five days later, everything was ready, and the army of Quchi was ready to cross the river. The place where the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info pontoon bridge is next to the village they saw in Fengshanyue, because the river there is wider, the water flow is gentle, and the opposite bank is a large open space, which can accommodate 5,000 cavalry, which is a good place to land.
The district general rode his horse and came to the shore with five thousand cavalry. He looked at the other side, but there was no movement, it seemed that the Fire Phoenix Kingdom was not defending here.
"I heard that the Fire Phoenix Kingdom has sent four thousand people to guard the border of the Yanggui City, what a fool!" General Ou laughed.
Ming Zhao said with a smile: "The Yanggui City side and the Quchi State have a land connection, they must have thought that the cavalry of the Quchi Country would go from that side, naturally they didn't expect the general to come up with ingenuity and pass over the river." ”
"Hmph! I just want to surprise them and catch them off guard. General Ou proudly brandished his whip, he was already thinking about how to defeat the Fire Phoenix Country as quickly as possible and turn the land of the Fire Phoenix Country into the ownership of the Quchi Country.
"General, this bridge has been built!" Lord Wei went ashore to report after going for the final inspection.
General Ou nodded, then turned back and ordered: "Everyone dismounts, blindfold the horses, and prepare to cross the river!"
"Yes!"
Ming Zhao looked at the army that was preparing, and said to General Ou: "I don't know if this pontoon bridge is firmly built, so it's better to let my entourage run back and forth on horseback twice, which can be regarded as exploring the way for the army." If it is not strong, it can be strengthened immediately. ”
"Okay!" the idea was in the middle of the general's mind, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
Ming Zhao glanced at Zhan Hu, Zhan Hu nodded, rode a horse and immediately went ashore, came to the edge of the pontoon bridge, and then rode a horse on the pontoon bridge, running back and forth between the two banks twice.
"Master, this bridge is very strong, it's okay!"
General Ou saw that he was fine running on the bridge on horseback, and presumably it would be fine when the man and horse walked separately, so he relieved himself.
Ming Zhao said again: "General, my entourage was originally a horseman, he knows the nature of horses, and he rode his horse twice just now. Why don't you let him lead the horse and cross the river with him? The horse has already run back and forth twice, and he won't be so afraid. ”
"That's a good idea! Wizard Ming, why don't you stay with me and be my staff! I think your idea is pretty good. ”
"General Xie's praise! But I've already entered the door of the witch path, so I can't step out again. Ming Zhao knew that the more he insisted on his duties as a wizard at this moment, the less likely it would be to arouse General Ou's suspicion.
General Ou really nodded, "That general is not easy to be strong!"
Soon, the 5,000 cavalry was ready to cross the river. The war tiger led the horses in front, and five thousand horses, blindfolded, followed one by one across the pontoon bridge.
When all the horses had crossed the river and had eaten in the open space opposite, the general gave the order, "Cross the river in formation!" and then rode down to the shore and stood beside the pontoon bridge and watched the soldiers cross the river.
The soldiers of Quchi Country stepped on the pontoon bridge in a row of two people. Just as the two soldiers in front were about to finish the pontoon bridge, the boats that had been connected together suddenly dispersed and floated down the river, and even the planks on the boats were crookedly followed.
The soldiers on the bridge were startled, panicked, and ran forward desperately. But the bridge had broken into several pieces, and the crowd was crowded, and finally they all fell into the water screaming. Most of the land of this Quchi country is mountainous, and there are basically no big rivers, so these soldiers don't know the nature of water. The soldiers who fell into the river were terrified and wanted to jump out of the water, but to no avail, they could only be swept away by the water, and most of them drowned.
When something like this happened suddenly, General Ou's first reaction was to find Lord Wei, "Lord Wei, didn't you say that this bridge is very strong?"
"This ......," Lord Wei was also horrified, "Xia Guan has indeed checked it, and the rope used is also the thickest, how could it suddenly break?"
General Ou frowned, could it be that he had been tricked? He was shocked, and immediately looked up at Ming Zhao's location, and found that there was no one there at all.
"Where's the wizard?" shouted the general.
"Report to the general, the last general saw that the wizard had just ridden downstream. "Because except for General Ou, the rest of the soldiers are all waiting to cross the river, and no one pays attention to Ming Zhao. In addition, Ming Zhao has been following General Ou all the time, and he seems to be very serious, so even if someone sees his movements, they don't dare to ask.
"Bastard, why did you let him go?" General Ou ordered to stop crossing the river and immediately rode in pursuit. chased all the way, and finally found Ming Zhao's figure three miles away.
"Stop!" General Ou roared.
As if Ming Zhao hadn't heard it at all, he ran forward desperately, and General Ou shot an arrow. The arrow plunged straight into Mingzhao's back, and he immediately fell off his horse and landed on the grass by the river. General Ou was about to step forward to catch him, but suddenly heard a cry from the pontoon bridge. He quickly turned around and went back.
When he returned to the pontoon bridge, he found that the soldiers of Quchi Country were angrily scolding the other side, and it turned out that the other bank, which was originally empty, suddenly appeared hundreds of soldiers from the Fire Phoenix Country. They mounted on the horses of the soldiers of Quchi State, and then shouted together: "General Xie District sends the horse! General Xie District sends the horse!"
This section of the river was too wide, even archery was useless, and the soldiers of Quchi could only watch them drive their horses away, but there was nothing they could do.
General Ou looked at the scene in front of him, rushed to his brain with anger, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down from his horse. The soldiers hurriedly gathered around, "General!"
Lord Wei hurriedly ordered: "Quickly send the general back to the city for treatment! The rest of the generals will return to the camp with their soldiers first!"
At this end, Feng Shanyue saw that Ming Zhao did not cross the bridge on the other side, but went downstream, and later saw the general of the district chasing after him on horseback, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly pulled over a horse, turned over on the horse, and chased downstream.
She saw that Ming Zhao was hit by an arrow in the back, and she was so anxious that she shouted: "Senior Brother Ming!"
After Ming Zhao was hit by the arrow, he took advantage of the re-entry of the landing and rolled into the river. Feng Shanyue didn't think about it, so she quickly jumped off the horse and jumped into the river. However, as soon as she jumped into the river, she regretted it. This is because the water is narrow, but it is not easy to swim to the other side. Coupled with Ming Zhao's arrow, he didn't have the strength to swim in the water at all, so he could only float down the current.
Feng Shanyue watched him float and sink on the water, drifting farther and farther, and hurriedly rowed downstream. At this time, a wooden board that floated down from the upstream to make a pontoon bridge smashed into the back of Feng Shanyue's head with a "bang". Before falling into a coma, her last thought was: "Grandma has dug a big hole for herself!"
