Chapter 371: Fight across the Yangtze River and liberate all of China
。 Fang Mingdao: "One of those two claims to be General Xu Jing under the command of Duan Mingyu, the commander of our army. It will be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. I heard him say that he was acquainted with Xiangye. That's why I'm here to report Chitose."
"Xu Jing. Xu Wen's son. How did he run to the other side?" Zhao Guangyi was taken aback before he finished reading. The monster shouted: "Xu Jing. You said his name was Xu Jing."
"Exactly. The man called himself Xu Jing."
Tian Ling lifted the quilt with a sigh. Jumping to the ground in his coat. The barefoot girl ran away: "Where are the people?"
"Now the Chinese army is under guard."
Xu Wenyuan was a general of the Wu Kingdom. One of the best people. When he was guarding Shou Chūn Castle before, he withstood his own indiscriminate bombardment. I can't help but he doesn't pay attention. Tian Lingzi pulled his legs and ran. Fang Ming was stunned. Only then did he shout: "Xiangye. You haven't ...... yet."
At this time, Tian Lingzi had already run to the Zhongjun tent.
"Xi rì Pei Gong saw the evil life. Greet each other barefoot. Today, I see the young general. Don't let the ancients. Xia Guan was so moved."
; When I saw Tian Lingzi, his hair was scattered and he was wearing a small coat. The appearance of a pair of barefoot girls. Xu Jing immediately stepped forward. But he was held up by two minor envoys. And he stopped. Gong Yi said.
Tian Lingzi took a fixed look. This person is really Xu Jing. Xu Jing is dressed in a night suit. A string of gourds hangs from his waist. The image is not much better than him.
Tian Lingzi was surprised: "What did the young general do when he went to the opposite side to quarry alum."
Xu Jing sighed: "This matter. . . It's hard to put into words."
Tian Lingzi said: "What are General Xu's plans now?"
"I would like to ask Xiangye to send a team of men and horses to escort me to Marshal Duan's rear road to the Chinese army. I have something important to report to the marshal." Xu Jing arched his hand.
"What's the matter. It's the same with the old man." The old fox's eyes rolled and he was thinking about it.
"Hehehe. Xiangye is too worried. It's up to the lord of the army to make up his mind." Xu Jingpi didn't smile. The public is not in harmony. He'd heard about it. He is Duan Mingyu's person. How can this kind of confidential information be shared with others?
Tian Lingzi finally brushed his sleeves and left. Of course. still sent hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people to escort Xu Jing.
……
Duan Mingyu handsome tent. Xu Jing said: "Exactly. The youngster has no other skills. When I was a teenager, I quarried alum. Poor years of work. A detailed map of the Yangtze River was drawn. Guogong got this picture. Quarrying alum, a section of the water, the depth of the slow, slow down like the palm of your hand. Pontoon bridges can be built. Crossing the river with a great army. The teenager dived back to the quarry. Took out the water map. That's when I decided to come to see the marshal. Do your best for the marshal."
Duan Mingyu was overjoyed and said: "The young general is really a lucky general. You're good to come. It's good to come. If this happens. This marshal invites credit to Your Majesty for you."
Duan Mingyu looked at the big river in front of him. There was silence for a long time. Said softly: "Ming rì will be to the riverside. It's man-made. I also crossed the river by feeling the stones. Let's take one step and look at one step."
The offensive of the Don army weakened. Zhang Ke, the guard on the other side, is not without doubts. When the morning fog clears, people will patrol along the river. Finally, they found out that the Tang army was building a pontoon bridge on the river. Hence the spaciousness. The pontoon bridge is inferior to the opposite bank. And the two sides of the strait are steep. Difficult to gain a foothold. Some arrows were cast and the wind blew on the water. The Don army could not be prevented from building bridges. Zhang Ke hurriedly ordered people to go to Yangzhou to spread the news.
Yang Xingmi is praying to the heavens with a group of senior monks and Taoist priests in the palace. I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard the news. Immediately convene the ministers to discuss the matter. When all the civil and military officers heard this, they couldn't help laughing: "The Tang army doesn't know how much water is soft and soft, but how powerful it is. If you build a pontoon bridge on a small river and stream, it will be easy, and the river water seems harmless, but the water surface of a hundred thousand miles of water is incomparably great, especially if the pontoon bridge is interrupted, it will be destroyed when it rushes, and it will be difficult to build a city."
His close ministers also said: "There has been history. I've never heard of anything like this. The Tang people are too whimsical."
Yang Xingmi listened. That's relieved. Huanxi smiled: "Yes. This king also thinks. Duan Mingyu is too child's play. This must be the poor skills of the Tang people. That's the way to go. Now it seems. This king is strong and clears the field to reject the Song army. It's already a big deal."
Duan Mingyu's little kid's trick was successful. When the Tang army held the "Fight across the Yangtze River. Liberation of the whole of China". Gather 800 people who dare to die and rush to the beachhead. Zhang Ke is organizing soldiers to kill out of the camp. It's time to get ready to repeat your old tricks and annihilate them in one fell swoop. The pontoon bridge of the Don Army is swaying. Successfully stuck on both sides of the river.
This situation made Zhang Ke's heart suddenly cool by half. The soldiers of the Tang State on the pontoon bridge approached the shore as soon as they approached the shore. Immediately nail countless piles of different lengths into the water. The length is just right. The pontoon bridge, which is connected by iron chains, ropes and wooden wedges, was successfully fixed before being broken by the boiling Yangtze River. Countless soldiers of the Tang Army, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed across the river along the pontoon bridge.
As soon as the defenders of the state of Wu saw the right army of the Shence army, it turned the impossible into a possible miracle. Morale is slumped. The Tang army is like a rainbow. Long drive straight in. Although Zhang Ke led his subordinate defenders to support the position. But I can't resist it. For a time the death of the dead, the fall of the fall, the escape of the escape. The defenders of the state of Wu were defeated. The impregnable quarrying alum has fallen.
Duan Mingyu was dressed in armor. Holding an iron spear across the east bank of the Yangtze River. Look around. Be in spirits.
The general asked, "Guogong. Do we occupy the Kure military camp fortress. Wait for General Yang to arrive."
Duan Mingyu smiled proudly and said, "The soldiers are so fast that even Lord Tian knows how to grab merit. Why don't you open your mind? The river has been crossed. Then gallop away. Attack on Yangzhou. Stuffed Wu Junshui and set it on fire. Command the three armies. Let's go."
The generals did as they were told. Leave a force of men and horses to defend both sides of the Yangtze River. Protected this pontoon bridge. The rest of the centaurs immediately assembled. A moment without stopping.
This pontoon bridge must not be broken. If there is no pontoon. As soon as the Tang army crossed the Yangtze River. That's the last stand. You can only win, not lose. If the enemy is strong for a while, I am weak. It's impossible to avoid a strategic detour. And the Wu people are strong and clear. All the grain and grass were transferred to the big cities that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the pontoon is broken. Then the Tang army can only fight hungry. Therefore, although Duan Mingyu is as anxious as an arrow from the string. But I don't dare to ignore this lifeline. He left part of the army behind. Led the department to defend this pontoon bridge. He personally led the remaining 50,000 horse infantry mixed troops to rush forward without stopping.
Outside Wuhu City. Yang Fugong received that Duan Mingyu had broken through the Yangtze River. The news of going straight to Yangzhou. Song Wentong, the general under his command, said worriedly: "Tian Lingzi. Duan Mingyu lightly attacked the enemy. If something goes wrong. If I fold my commander of the three armies, it will be bad. We might as well abandon this Wuhu City. Hurry up and join the Generalissimo."
