Chapter 141: The Battle of the Eagle Tail River (4)
Wu Mingfu didn't expect that Gao Yuanfeng would intercept and store water upstream, but he didn't attach great importance to it, and Elder Wang, the high-level superman, and the county lord Chen Jing personally went to check it, so Wu Mingfu completely ignored this biggest crisis.
"Retreat! Retreat! No, advance, speed up and run over!" Wu Mingfu's chaotic life made Chen Jun at a loss. It's not that Wu Mingfu has panicked to the point that the six gods have no master, it's that he is in a hurry, and he doesn't have time to subdivide it. He was ordering the army that had not yet reached the bridge to retreat as quickly as possible, and to run as far as they could. But after shouting, the soldiers on the bridge mistakenly thought that they were shouting to retreat, and they turned around and ran back.
At this time, there was no time to run back, especially the soldiers who had already walked half the distance. Wu Mingfu had no choice but to hurriedly call them to cross the river as soon as possible. However, the troops around them, who had not yet reached the bridge, heard the order and flocked to the pontoon bridge.
Wu Mingfu, who was so anxious to jump to his feet, was about to cry, his eyes were rolling in all directions, anxiously trying to find a way, and he only remembered the flag when he saw the messenger soldiers. It was too late to give the order, so he grabbed the order flag, stood on the horse's back and shook it vigorously, and gave orders to each department separately.
Blocking the river at the upstream rapids is not something that ordinary people can do, unless they dig another river to divert the water. However, Gao Yuanfeng has Liu Qi and Xiang Ma to help them. After the parlor period, the warrior can hold his breath in the water for a long time. But it is difficult for ordinary martial artists to gain a firm foothold in the torrent. Superman is different, and it's even more fine to hold a thousand-pound boulder.
Xiang Ma and the others first drove a number of thick wooden piles in the water, and then bouldered the dam. The gaps between the stones are not blocked, which reduces the pressure on the dam a little and keeps the river flowing. After the water is stored at a certain height, the crest of the dam is not higher than the water surface of the store, which is not stable, but as long as it can hold on for a period of time. The stake underneath is chained. The other end of the chain was pulled to the mountain wall.
Guo Libin looked at it from a high distance, feeling that the time was almost up, and together with other supermen, he pulled up the iron chain. The stone dam, which was not very stable, lost the support of wooden piles, collapsed with a bang, and the huge drop quickly raised the water surface downstream. The torrent rushed out of the mountains, swallowing both sides of the river together, and rushed downstream like thousands of horses.
When the tide of the torrent was discovered by Wu Mingfu, Chen Jun had already passed six or seven thousand people. In order to cross the river quickly, the large troops on this side are very close to the riverbank. The water and fire were ruthless, and Chen Jun, who realized it later, only hated that he had a few legs, and they each ran to both sides. However, it was too late, and the flood soon wet the soldiers' feet, then their ankles, and their calves. As soon as the water rises, the speed at which people run is greatly slowed down. By the time the water flooded their thighs, the soldiers began to despair. With his clothes soaked in water and an iron armor, his movements became more and more sluggish, and he finally fell into the water and could not get up again.
On the north shore, LΓΌ Feng's light cavalry roared, and a storm swept towards the Chen army that was fleeing to the heights in a panic. In order to run faster, some of the Chen army even lost their weapons, so how could they resist? This was a one-sided massacre, first with crossbows and fire, and then with long knives swept over, and Chen Jun fell one by one.
After LΓΌ Feng rushed forward for a distance, the cavalry divided left and right, and did not fight the part of the Chen army that hastily gathered into a formation, but swept to both sides, only shooting and slashing the Chen soldiers who ran in the front, squeezing them towards the river.
The sound of the heavy horse galloping is not a da-da-da, but a rumbling like a mountain. Gao Yuanfeng took the lead, led Gao Hu's heavy cavalry battalion, and rushed at high speed, pointing directly at the infantry formation that the experienced Chen army generals barely made do. To be honest, it's a bit of a bully, Gao Yuanfeng, as a superman, swept the spear away, and the single person was comparable to Zhou Feiyan's trap, sweeping away a large area of Chen Saber and shield soldiers at the front. Then quickly cut tofu and break into the enemy line.
Gao Hu's heavy cavalry battalion followed and wedged in, like a giant axe into a huge tofu block, quickly stirring the tofu block into a bean curd.
The heavy cavalry battalion charged the enemy at will, and the light cavalry battalion peeled off layer after layer on the periphery like a knife and a face. The high-flying Haiyang battalion occupies the high ground and uses arrows to stop the enemy who slips through the net. Three thousand people beat seven thousand, and it was extremely easy. Of course, more Chen Jun was swallowed up by the water. The more than 7,000 people who crossed the river of Chen's army were soon annihilated, killed and flooded, and the few remaining ones abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The battle on the north bank ended, and the battle on the south bank began.
Gao Yuanfeng asked Goofy to take over all the captives, and with the light cavalry battalion and the heavy cavalry battalion, he galloped around the heights to the end of the Eagle Chou Mountain. There, up and down, in the narrow part of the river, there was already a bridge. They had to go around to the south bank as soon as possible to support Luo Yu, who was led by Guo Libin, who was killed from the mountain
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Snow camp, Gaotong camp, Yan Qian camp. There were far more than three battalions there, and most of the men and horses that Guo Libin gave to Gao Yuanfeng were there, totaling seven or eight thousand people.
For more than ten miles, when Guo Libin led his people to kill, most of the soldiers of Chen's army ran to the high ground. When he was frightened, he was intercepted and killed, and his combat effectiveness can be imagined. Seven or eight thousand and more than ten thousand, it is difficult to distinguish clearly in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, anyway, it is dense and boundless. Many people panicked and turned around and ran.
Wu Mingfu could see at a glance how many people there were on the other side, and he organized a cavalry team to charge and block it. The infantry could not run fast and suffered heavy losses. The losses of the cavalry were not large, and it was not their turn to cross the river at that time, so they turned around and ran, faster than the speed of the water.
What shocked Wu Mingfu was that he finally knew why Elder Wang and the others didn't return and didn't send a signal, Guo Libin's five supermen took the lead, and Chen Jun's strong cavalry was no different from mud. The front team was put in rows, and none of them could rush through the simple array of Superman. As a result, the rear cavalry of Chen's army tripped over the corpses of their own men and horses one after another, and then completely lost their speed.
The cavalry had no speed, was inferior to the infantry, seemed condescending, but did not have the dexterity of the infantry. Guo Libin handed over the large-scale strangulation to Luo Yuxue and others, and they went straight to Chen's army to capture Wu Mingfu.
No matter how brave Wu Mingfu is, he doesn't dare to fight Superman, and people can kill him with a wave of his hand. I had to turn the horse's head and flee in embarrassment.
As soon as Wu Mingfu fled, Chen's army completely collapsed, and thirty or forty thousand people were chased and killed by seven or eight thousand. This chase is more than 20 miles. Luo Yuxue saw that the soldiers couldn't run anymore, so she had to stop and rest on the spot. She herself and the part that still had the strength to fight, turned around to strangle or surrender the part that had fallen behind them.
When Gao Yuanfeng arrived with the light cavalry battalion, Guo Libin and the five of them were also resting in Luo Yuxue's temporary camp.
Guo Libin greeted Gao Yuanfeng and laughed: "Congratulations to General Gao, winning more with less, defeating the strong with the weak, and achieving such a brilliant record." After this battle, General Gao will surely become famous all over the world. β
Of course, Gao Yuanfeng was also excited, but he did not lose his temper, "Lord Taiwei has an overreputation. It is okay to say that less is more, but it is false to beat the strong with the weak. With you always in charge, it is obvious that the strong bully the weak. What about Wu Mingfu?" "The reason why he didn't lose his temper was not that he was really pampered and not surprised, but that he had calculated the results many times in advance, and without this record, what kind of pit would he have dug up? Not to mention that he didn't see Wu Mingfu, then this war was not perfect.
Guo Libin secretly gave a thumbs up, he didn't get carried away with such a big victory, and he could still stay calm and calm, it was really good, he was a good seedling. I have made up my mind in my heart that I must turn Gao Yuanfeng to the imperial dynasty and cultivate it, and in the future, I will be a good general who is no less than the emperor.
Guo Libin said slightly apologetically: "I was escaped by Wu Mingfu." The kid saw that the momentum was not right, so he turned around and ran. By the time I caught up with him, there were only a few ordinary soldiers under his banner. The kid didn't even want a face, and at some point he took off his clothes and pretended to be a soldier, blended into the chaos and disappeared. β
Gao Yuanfeng almost laughed out loud, who is shameless? How many of you supermen chase down an ordinary martial artist from the murder family, and you don't let people disguise it? He didn't dare to accept Guo Libin's apology, and said repeatedly: "It's okay. If you run, you can run away, he can't turn the sky in one Cheng Dan period. β
Having said that, the action was different, ordering all the infantry to be under the command of Luo Yuxue, cleaning up the battlefield as soon as possible, clearing the remnants, and rescuing the victims. On the Hebei side, he gave Gao Fei an order before leaving.
The cruelty of war does not stop at the battlefield. A great flood helped Gao Yuanfeng achieve a great victory, but it also brought immeasurable disasters. It is not a disaster of high and distant winds, but a disaster of many ordinary people in Henan and Hebei. Water has no spiritual sense, and it cannot distinguish who is friend or foe, and who is military and civilian. It drowned Chen's army, and also flooded many villages downstream.
In Haiyang, Hebei Province, the high winds can also make the villagers in the low-lying areas pretend to escape the fighting and evacuate in advance. But in Henan, which belongs to the Chen State, he has no choice. "Is it cruel?" Gao Yuanfeng asked himself, and comforted himself, "Ci is not in charge of the army." It is better to die Chen than to die Bohai. β
Relief is relief, but conscience is still a little painful. Should we hurt other people's relatives if we protect our own relatives? So I ordered Luo Yuxue to help the disaster as soon as possible, and at the same time, let her count the losses of the villagers and compensate them as much as possible.
"Compensate Chen Ren?" Guo Libin was curious, "Is that necessary?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Gao Yuanfeng sighed: "The people of Chen State did not attack our country, but they suffered because of me, if I don't compensate, I can't bear it." β
Guo Libin, "Sergeant Chen, it's from among them." An enemy is an enemy, and your kindness is in the wrong place, right?"
Gao Yuanfeng shook his head, "Whether it's the Zhou people or the Chen people, after all, there are only a few people who are soldiers, and the vast majority of people just want to live their own lives." As a result, they were beaten back and forth, but they were the ones who suffered. Compare my heart to my heart, to be honest, Lord Taiwei, I really don't like to fight, I just protect myself. β
Gao Yuanfeng told the truth, but Guo Libin had a different feeling when he heard it. He found that Gao Yuanfeng had the ability but not much desire for power, which made him like it even more. However, he still reminded him, "General Gao is rare in the world, but please be careful that the Chen people may treat your soldiers as enemies." Don't be hurt by the enemy when you save the enemy, this kindness can be fed to the dog. β
Gao Yuanfeng was taken aback, yes, people may not appreciate it. After thinking for a while, he instructed Luo Yuxue to issue two military orders, first, not to harm the people of Chen again, that is, not to take advantage of the chaos to rob and plunder. Second, there is no mercy for all armed men, young and old. Focus on your own safety first.
After arranging the disaster relief, Gao Hu also arrived. Gao Yuanfeng gathered all the cavalry and asked Guo Libin to go with him and continue to pursue Wu Mingfu. Although Wu Mingfu's troops lost most of them in the First World War, with Wu Mingfu's ability, it is entirely possible to gather the remnants of the army in a short period of time and form combat effectiveness.
It's not that I'm worried that Wu Mingfu will continue to attack north, he has no superman, and there are many supermen here, Wu Mingfu won't come to die. Gao Yuanfeng was worried about bypassing the sea and attacking the Shuiying, Haiyin and Niudi Divisions of Wu Mingfu's baggage troops on the rear road. Although the three supermen brought by Guo Libin were assigned to that side, who can guarantee that there will be no other supermen in the Danxia Gang?
Gao Yuanfeng did not chase and kill the remnants of Chen's army that had fled in all directions, but led the cavalry to quickly go south along the official road, and drove directly to the pre-agreed location, the county seat of Yingqiu County.
When the high wind drove fifty miles and arrived in Yingqiu County, what made him happy was that the head of the city had been replaced with the Tiger Roaring Sky Flag. What's even more gratifying is that Niu Di, Guan Zhong, Ning Chong and others not only captured a large number of baggage, but also captured a large number of Chen soldiers.
They suddenly appeared behind Chen Jun, and there was a superhuman shock, which made Chen Jun, who had finally won it back, completely collapse, and most of them surrendered one after another.
Gao Yuanfeng hurriedly wrote an eagle letter and passed it to Chang Shan, roughly describing the battle situation here, and then asked for instructions for the next move. wrote another letter to Zhou Feiyan, describing the situation here and asking how it was going over there. Because it was the Eagle Letter channel of the Ministry of War, there was no sweet word. Concern is only between the lines.
Guo Libin saw Gao Yuanfeng writing a letter, smiled proudly, and quietly wrote a letter to send out. There were only two words on the letter, "Initiation." "As for what to start, outsiders don't know.
Gao Yuanfeng didn't know Guo Libin's small movements, climbed the city wall, and looked to the west.
Guo Libin also came over and said with a smile: "Do you miss your little lover? rest assured, Zhou Feiyan's achievements are only bigger than you." β
Gao Yuanhu looked at Guo Libin suspiciously, "How do you know?"
Guo Libin can't wait to slap himself, he is nearly a hundred years old, he has no concentration at all, and he almost shows his stuffing. said vaguely: "Mrs. Wu is over there." He brought more supermen than I did. β
Gao Yuanfeng shook his head secretly, if superman alone can win, then what do you need a conventional army for? The role of superman is to deter, to be a top soldier, to be able to take the head of the enemy's general among all the troops, and it has a great impact on the outcome of the war, but it cannot play a decisive role.
Superman is also a human being, and he can get tired. Even if the 10,000-strong army doesn't fight back and let him kill it, he may not be able to kill it all. Superman's body is not tall and strong, and in the boundless army, it is just a larger wave. Like Wu Mingfu, when he hid in the chaos, Superman was helpless.
Guo Libin smiled, no longer talked about the war in the west, and changed the topic to ask Gao Yuanfeng what to do next.
High and far away for advice. Guo Libin waved his hand, "Of course, it's a great progress." β
Gao Yuanfeng, "There is no royal decree." β
Guo Libin, "Is the imperial military order enough?"
