Chapter Fifty-Seven: Secretly Crossing Chen Cang
Heyang City is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, only ten miles from the Yellow River.
Early in the morning, the city was already full of people, and the soldiers and horses were restless.
The movement of the Imperial Heyin camp did not escape the detection of the scouts of the Yu Gongli Department on the north bank, and soon they sent the military information they had discovered back to Heyang City.
In the city of Heyang, there is a mighty mansion called the General's Mansion.
At this time, there was an endless stream of generals and sergeants coming and going in the house.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, a soldier who looks like a herald general is reporting the military situation to a burly general with a national character face, and several other heralds are in the main hall, waiting for the general's order.
"General Qiyu: The scouts came to report, at dawn, a cavalry of more than 10,000 people drove out of the Heyin camp and disappeared; At the end of the day, the enemy general Shi Xiang personally led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to gather ships on the south bank of the Eagle Crossing, fearing that he would forcibly cross the Yellow River. ”
The general questioned: "10,000 mounted cavalry missing? ”
The herald general trembled: "Reprimand...... The scouts reported that it was true. ”
"Shi Xiang is well versed in the art of war and has many tricks, and this transfer must have a plan."
"If the main force of the enemy crosses the Yellow River by force, the 10,000 infantry stationed on the north bank of the Eagle Crossing will definitely be difficult to resist the enemy."
After thinking for a while, the general ordered one after another: "With the order of the general, General Gu Long is ordered to immediately increase the number of 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, go to the Eagle Crossing to prepare for battle, and attack the enemy with the camera, be sure to block the enemy on the Yellow River, and not let the enemy set foot on the north bank. ”
"Command!"
"Order General Yu Tian to lead 10,000 elite horsemen, camp outside the city, and prepare to go."
"Command!"
"Order General Yu Tianxiao to send additional scouts and patrols to expand the reconnaissance area along the river to prevent enemy troops from smuggling."
"Command!"
With the departure of the generals, one after another orders were issued from the general's palace to the four directions.
The general pressed the sword on his waist with one hand, and the other behind his back, the corners of his mouth raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "Shi Xiang, Shi Shixiu, General of the Right Guard, hum, I want to see what tricks you are playing." ”
The Yellow River moat is not in vain, and in the whole of Hanoi County, there are not many places for the army to cross the river.
Eagle Crossing is one of the most suitable passes for large armies to cross the river.
As long as the three key roads are guarded, even if the enemy has millions of soldiers, it will not be easy to cross the river.
If Shi Xiang personally led the main army to cross the river at Eagle Crossing, he would be in his arms, and he could attack it halfway and block the enemy on the riverbank.
Therefore, Yu Gongli is quite sure of his own arrangement.
In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.
Yu Gongli sits in the General's Mansion, refers to the three armies, and resists the enemy on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Time passed minute by minute, however, in the direction of Eagle Crossing, there was no military information about the battle between the two armies.
At the end of the day, as a scout rushed into the general's mansion, in an instant, Yu Gongli was furious.
He didn't believe his ears, so he questioned, "What? More than 10,000 mounted cavalry of the enemy army have crossed the Yellow River from Yueyajin? ”
"That's true."
A general beside Yu Gongli questioned: "Impossible, more than 10,000 cavalry, there are no boats to cross the river, how can they cross the Yellow River?" Could it be that they all grew wings and flew across the Yellow River! ”
"The enemy crossed the Yellow River through a pontoon bridge at Yueyajin."
The general questioned: "Pontoon? No way, according to the information gathered last night, there is nothing on the surface of the Crescent River. ”
The scout said: "In my subordinates' opinion, the pontoon bridge should be built by the enemy overnight. ”
Yu Gongli suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and he secretly pondered: "The enemy army built a pontoon bridge overnight in Crescent Jin, and sent more than 10,000 cavalry to cross the river, but in the direction of Eagle Crossing, the enemy army has not moved for a long time. ”
"Really?"
"Shi Xiang, this is singing a Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang."
Yu Gongli was deeply trusted by the King of Han, and the southern attack army he led was repeatedly besieged and trapped, and he was a famous general in the world, and soon, he discovered Shi Xiang's true intentions.
Thinking of this, Yu Gongli immediately ordered: "Order, General Yu Tian led his troops to Crescent Moon to block the enemy army, and must hold on until the army arrives, otherwise, military law will be engaged." ”
"Command!"
"General Gu Long, immediately dispatched 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry from Eagle Crossing, and rushed to Crescent Moon before five o'clock, there must be no mistake."
"Command!"
"The generals listened to the order, immediately took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and went to Crescent Moon with the generals."
"Command!"
At this moment, a staff member dressed as a staff member reminded: "General, Eagle Crossing is one of the main crossings of the Yellow River, and only 20,000 infantry troops are left behind, is it appropriate?" ”
"There is no need to worry about the long history, it is enough for the Eagle Crossing 20,000 infantry to stay."
"Let's get ready for action."
"Command!"
Not long after, the garrison of Heyang City rushed to the help of Yueyajin.
As Yu Gongli said, the ships that Shi Xiang gathered at Eagle Crossing were just suspicious tactics.
Previously, Shi Xiang ordered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to gather in the Eagle Ferry with great fanfare, and took advantage of Yu Gongxi's attention to the Eagle Crossing, he personally led another 20,000 cavalry under his command to rush to the Crescent Moon and secretly cross the Yellow River.
At this time, together with the 10,000 elite mounted cavalry that began to cross the river at dawn, the 30,000 elite mounted cavalry under Shi Xiang had all crossed the Yellow River and lined up on the north bank of the Yellow River.
After crossing the Yellow River, Shi Xiang had the pontoon bridge destroyed.
After Sima Jiu noticed the destruction of the pontoon bridge, he sighed: "This is ...... This is really learning from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who broke the cauldron and sank the boat, destroyed the bridge of the Jihe River, and fought against the water. ”
Li Jiancheng said: "There will be a heart of death, and the soldiers will not have the idea of greedy life, such an army will be the guardian of the empire and the pillar of the country." ”
Sima Jiu followed the military salute and asked Li Jiancheng for instructions: "General Li, should we break away from the army and advance to Bingzhou?" ”
Li Jiancheng directly refused: "No, at this critical time, if our department breaks away from the army, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army." ”
"Wait for the camera to do it, wait for the time."
"Command!"
At this time.
The 10,000 cavalry led by Yu Tian had already rushed to the vicinity of Crescent Jin.
Yu Tian saw that Shi Xiang's army had not yet finished arranging, so he wanted to lead the army to attack Shi Xiang's army.
At this moment, a partial general stopped: "General: The enemy army is large, and our army has marched more than 20 miles in a hurry, coming from afar, and it may be inappropriate to attack rashly. ”
"Besides, the general's order is: block the enemy army, wait for the army to come, and his subordinates suggest a formation to defend."
"Hey."
Yu Tian sighed.
"The enemy's foothold is not stable, if you give me 10,000 elite cavalry, you will definitely be able to break the enemy's army."
Yu Tian pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and ordered: "Order, the three armies will raise their vigilance and line up to defend against the enemy." ”
On the other side, Shi Xiang was paying attention to Yu Tianjun's movements.
A general beside Shi Xiang saw that Yu Tiansuo led no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and had no intention of attacking his own battle formation, and said: "The rebels are coming, but they are not in a hurry to attack. ”
Shi Xiang said: "The rebels are trying to delay time and wait for their main force to arrive. ”
Seeing this, another general asked for war: "General, the last general is willing to lead the army to attack the enemy." ”
After thinking for a while, Shi Xiang said, "General Long, you lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the current rebel army. ”
"Command!"
General Long turned to leave, and soon, he gathered 20,000 mounted cavalry and launched an assault on the Yu Tianjun who was arrayed.
With the sound of earth-shattering war drums, 20,000 mounted cavalry pressed towards Yu Tianjun's army with great momentum.
