Chapter 821: Sunrise in the East (46)
Seeing that the soldiers were quickly in place, Xie Zongjie was a little shocked and remembered Huang Zhan's words last night, could it really be that after Xiang Shenkang died in the battle of Xinhui, he asked Huang Zhan to give him a warning? If it weren't for Huang Zhan's sudden overnight march to the Qinglong River and Yang Lindu last night, but a step-by-step rest for the night and then march this morning, I am afraid that this Qi army will cross the Qinglong River and meet his own troops on a narrow road above the halfway, which will be too unfavorable for the Eastern Army.
Huang Zhantong brought only more than 3,000 people to help Xinhui, and the vanguard army of the Qi people who had arrived in Xinhui had tens of thousands of people, and the gap between the two armies was huge.
Narrow road encounter, even if the Eastern Army wins, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory, this is not what the Eastern Army wants, the Eastern Army wants to delay the opponent's degree, try to delay the opponent's process in Langya County, not to a temporary victory.
While sending someone to report back to Huang Zhan and inform Pang Li, while watching the Qi army on the other side of the Qinglong River getting closer and closer, the surging river has become the best position, the enemy wants to cross the river, he can only seize the Qinglong Bridge, which reduces the weakness of his limited strength to the minimum, no matter how many people you have, you can only attack me through this bridge more than two or three wide, more than two meters wide, I only need four or five soldiers to fill the front, even if the firing is slow, it is enough to make the enemy pay a painful price.
Just when Xie Zongjie was both happy and proud, opposite him, the Qi people had stopped advancing, looking at the banner of the Eastern Army flying on the Qinglong Bridge, and the general of Qi with 3,000 men and horses as the leader, Qin Shan, was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, just last night, there was no trace of the Eastern Army in the area of Qinglong Bridge, and the latest intelligence also showed that the Eastern Army was still dozens of miles away from the Qinglong Bridge, much farther than himself.
The scouts on both sides strangled in this section, which had already made Qin Shan speed up his progress, but he never expected that he still let the opponent take a step forward, looking at the narrow stone bridge across the Qinglong River, and then looking at the rushing river, he couldn't help but hesitate.
In Xinhui, he had already learned the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Army, and at this time, although there were no city walls here, it was far more sinister than Xinhui.
Xie Zongjie did not wait for the Qi army to attack, but saw that the Qi people had set up camp on the other side of the Qinglong River, and there was no sign of attack except for sending a small force to approach the Qinglong Bridge for vigilance.
If you don't come to fight me, I will naturally ask for it, my purpose is to delay your actions, and now the two armies are facing each other across the bank, but it is better, so he took his soldiers on the shore and began to build the breastwork little by little, and piled up high platforms.
Huang Zhan was silent for a moment after receiving Xie Zongjie's report, last night, it was really Kang Zi who came to say goodbye to him, he was no longer there.
Without leaving tears, Huang Zhan turned over on his war horse and said loudly: "Let's go, go to Qinglong Mountain, more than 1,000 brothers in Xinhui have blocked the enemy for nearly ten days, and now, it's our turn."
More than 2,000 soldiers under the leadership of Huang Zhan, he was uneasy to send two troops, control Qinglong Bridge and Yang Lindu, should be able to stop the enemy for a few days, this time, is enough for him to lay out a solid defense line in Qinglong Mountain, become a nail on the opponent's road to Langya, as long as he can nail it, the opponent can not wholeheartedly and without scruples to enter Langya.
Just when Huang Zhan went to Qinglong Mountain and began to arrange the defense line, Tian Jingwen also rushed to Qinglong River after receiving Qin Shan's report, seeing such a sinister offensive environment, Tian Jingwen also gasped.
"Are you looking for any other places to cross the river? He was silent for a moment before asking.
"The subordinates sent scouts to explore along the upper and lower reaches of the Qinglong River, within this hundred miles, there are only two places in this Qinglong Bridge and Yang Lindu, which is more than ten miles up, but Yang Lindu now has the military control of the Eastern Army."
"The water is so big, it is impossible to cross the river, the subordinates tried, lost dozens of brothers, tied the wooden raft as soon as the water was washed, it was washed out of control, here the river is full of rocks, after the water rises sharply, it is impossible to see their distribution, the wooden raft is hit on these underwater stones and fell apart, the brothers who fell into the water, Even the corpse can't be found." Qin Shan sighed, "This Qinglong Bridge can't be fought at all, unless we use our lives to fill it, General, it seems that we have to wait until this water reaches down before we find a way to cross the river."
"That's all there is to it! Tian Jingwen shook his head helplessly, "Xinhui, we fought for more than ten days before attacking down, and now we are blocked by this Qinglong River, I hope God will not rain again, let the river fall down quickly, then we can cross the river with wooden rows, as long as the water falls, we can cross the river, and it is meaningless for the opponent to stick to the Qinglong Bridge."
"I hope so! Five hundred men held them firmly on the other side of the river.
"We are a guest army, we are not familiar with the topography of Langya, we have lost the upper hand at this point, the reinforcements of the Eastern Army are definitely not only more than 1,000 people in Qinglong Bridge and Yanglindu, what can be arranged on the other side of the bank to block us? "
"According to the scout's report, on the other side, only Qinglong Mountain is likely to be used by the enemy, and after Qinglong Mountain, it is the richest area in Langya, where there is a plain, and there is no longer a way to stop our march into Langya County."
"One wrong step, one wrong step! Tian Jingwen said bitterly: "I didn't expect that the little Xinhui would be able to block us for so many days, if it wasn't for the loss of Yan Zhan in the Xinhui, how could I rest for two more days, not for these two days, how could I let the Qinglong Bridge fall into the hands of the other party?" I was too careless to expect their reinforcements to come so quickly? "
"The progress of the Eastern Army is really unexpected," Qin Shan shook his head.
"Wait! Under such conditions, we must charge in a dense formation, and see the bed crossbow on the bridge, and how many of our brothers' lives can be killed with a bed crossbow! Tian Jingwen clenched his fists, "A few days, we should still be able to afford to wait."
"I hope God is beautiful! Qin Shan looked at the gloomy sky and was worried about the tunnel.
Qin Shan's worries became a reality that night, the sky began to drizzle, and the next morning, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, seeing that the water level in the Qinglong River not only did not fall, but also had a rising trend, and there was nothing to do other than build a raft.
At this time, on Qinglong Mountain, it is a different situation, thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Army are busy, the trees on Qinglong Mountain have been cut down most of the time, the original lush Qinglong Mountain, now it seems to have been shaved a treasure cover, only the top of the mountain is left with a piece of green, the slopes on all sides, have been cut bare, only a tree stump remains, these scattered and messy tree stumps have also been cut into a triangular pyramid-like sharp tree spear, and the fortifications of the Eastern Army are on this hillside, staggered formation, Every other day, the entire defense is formed, and the defense of the entire Qinglong Mountain has been completed.
Even the villagers in the vicinity stood before the heavens and the earth.
In the past few days, Huang Zhan basically didn't say anything except for the orders of the first series of Bu Yi, and every day he was like an ordinary soldier, cutting down trees, carrying logs one by one and braving the rain on the muddy hillside, or carrying baskets of thin mud and smearing them on top of the fortress, until he was tired into a paralyzed mud, so that he could let himself fall asleep in extreme fatigue.
For five days, God seemed to be cheering for the Eastern Army, and the rain had been falling for five days.
Tian Fucheng, the second son of Tian Dan, the prime minister of Qi, was brave and tyrannical, and has always been known for his strict management of the army, but at the same time, his subordinates are also one of the most capable Qi army troops, when he saw Tian Jingwen actually stayed idle by the Qinglong River for five days, he was furious as soon as he arrived, he picked up the whip and personally beat Tian Jingwen.
"Give you a day, take down the Qinglong River, and I will take your head! In front of dozens of generals under his command, Tian Fucheng waved his whip furiously.
With a lot of scars, Tian Jingwen shyly and angrily organized his soldiers and horses and began to attack the Qinglong Bridge.
The river is still tyrannical, and the specially reinforced raft was washed away as soon as it was out of the water, although it was not scattered as soon as it was touched before, but it was impossible to control the direction in the river at all, watching the rafts in the river crookedly downward, Tian Jingwen could only focus on attacking the Qinglong Bridge.
On the other side of the river, Xie Zongjie and his five hundred soldiers, who had rested for five days, not only had completely recovered their bodies, but also used these five days to strengthen their positions several more times, because of the surge of the river, he also moved the other two bed crossbows to the center of the bridge, forming an echelon of shots, to ensure that the enemy could be given the heaviest damage, he had received Huang Zhan's order, and held on until the water level of the Qinglong River fell back and the enemy could cross the river to attack.
