Chapter 0069 Crossing the River at Night

Yun Xiaoshui sent three groups of scouts on the front and back, left and right, one for 10 miles, one for 50 miles, and one for 100 miles away from the large army. The latest military information is constantly passed back and forth, including roads, villages and towns, population, terrain and terrain, and more importantly, the situation of the enemy army, whether there is a small group of rebel forces, etc.

At that time, that is, for a period of time after the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Great Qin, there were constant rebellions in the country, and the soldiers, servants, disaster victims, etc., were often armed to make trouble, and there were not many people, but often a small group of armed forces around them gathered soon.

At that time, the so-called armament was simple and easy! Although there were no iron tools or bronze tools, they were all controlled by Qin Shi Huang, and every iron knife had to be locked with an iron chain, and ten families shared one. However, pulling a wooden stick is a weapon, and pulling two bamboo rods is a shuttle dart and a spear.

Yun Xiaoshui was very careful to guard against a small group of armed forces that would rise up at any time and gather towards the rebels.

"Report! 60 miles to the left front, an armed force of 1,000 men is intercepting us, all infantry, but strangely driven by one or two hundred ploughing oxen! "Two groups of scouts came to report.

"Ploughing cattle? What are you doing with ploughing cattle in a war? Grab it for meat, or is it for some other purpose? Yun Xiaoshui fell into contemplation for a while and asked, "Do you see knives tied to the horns and grass tied to the tail of the ox?" ”

"Nope! It's a group of ploughing cattle, some of them are still led by people in front, and there are people fighting and even pushing and walking behind! ”

"Young Master! Oxen aren't meant to be used to charge, are they? Yu Mingzhu shouted loudly but sweetly! Frost also thinks it's possible.

However, they don't have firecrackers or anything like that, and they can't think of the fire bull formation that drives the herd!

There are no knives tied to the horns, so it is unlikely that the cattle will be killed in a formation, but it is possible to use a whip behind the buttocks to drive the cattle forward and disrupt the enemy's position. Chances are, they're just that smart!

"Leave them alone! I must bypass them, to separate them from the rebels who are attacking me, and to join forces with them to eat the rebels, and at the same time lure the rebels with the herd to meet the army of Mengzheng, and let the rebel army of the court clean them up! ”

After Yun Xiaoshui made up his mind, he sent three groups of messengers to send a letter to chase the wind, the wind and thunder, the complete, and the Fang Bu party, and arranged them in detail how to break the enemy.

Subsequently, Yun Xiaoshui ordered to bury the pot to make rice, and stopped to rest on the spot.

"Huh? Take a break to eat? This...... It's still early for dinner! ”

Several of the officers under him were a little confused, but it was their duty to obey orders absolutely strictly. After eating, he marched in a hurry and ran all the way to the east.

The rebel army with the herd came from the southeast, and Yun Xiaoshui came from the west, and it was precisely to the southeast that he went. At this time, Yun Xiaoshui ran all the way to the east, and soon some subordinates reported that they had run in the wrong direction.

"That's right! Running down, to the Sangcha River, really Lema turned around a few times. The officers and soldiers who received Yun Xiaoshui's order had no choice but to continue to move forward.

Sure enough, there is a big bay river blocking the way, the river is not wide, the water flow is not urgent, the riverbed is quite wide, there are many paddy fields and fish ponds between the two sides of the water to the high embankment, the high embankment is like a gentle slope of the mountain, and there are luxuriant trees.

Yun Xiaoshui sent a few people down to test the depth of the water, and the water temperature in May should not be too cool. He personally led the team along the riverbank for a while, then turned in the direction they had come from and ran a little more, and then merged into the road from which they came.

In other words, at the end of the road to the river, there is a pin-nose circle, as if you have been wandering around the river for a long time, trying to cross the river but not succeeding, and then going back.

When I returned to the river, those who explored the depth of the water also returned, and the water was not deep, and it could not drown horses or people.

"Quick! Cross the river here and now! Don't be afraid of getting your clothes wet! Yun Xiaoshui gave an order, only to panic all the officers and soldiers in a hurry.

Yun Xiaoshui took the lead, and the men and horses went into the water, and none of the officers and soldiers hesitated, and they all crossed the river with a huhula, and no one asked why.

After passing the hippopotamus, he ran to his fiefdom all night. Yun Xiaoshui personally led six female guards to take the lead, and they all marched in a hurry in wet clothes, until the horses ran sweaty, the people warmed and dried their clothes, and the sky was just bright.

Yun Xiaoshui continued to lead his army on a detour, entering his fiefdom from Yiyuan, a hundred miles away from the rebels on the border of Mengyin.

As soon as Yun Xiaoshui's army entered the county, there were officials from the county government who were notified in advance and prepared food and forage here to wait!

Yun Xiaoshui ordered the army to eat and rest, and then quickly withdrew from the Yiyuan Realm, going around the back of the rebels.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, gunpowder was planted behind the buttocks of the rebels, traps were dug up, and many tree bows and arrows were made on the side of the road, and bellwood was made.

When everything was arranged, he immediately withdrew far away, and ambushed the army in a hidden place at a distance, waiting to see in which direction the rebels were retreating, and then attacked its flank, and annihilated the rebels in one fell swoop with the characteristics of the light cavalry.

As soon as Yun Xiaoshui's side settled down and the people were resting, they listened to the "rumbling" gunpowder explosion in Mengyin County.

"Haha! This is a good opportunity to cover up! "Yun Xiaoshui immediately organized the light cavalry to kill like a strong wind, first kill from the side, and then come back from the front, like a sickle cutting leeks, dumping in one direction!

Soon, the main force of the rebels was scattered and defeated, most of them were killed and captured alive, and those who fled, Yun Xiaoshui did not pursue, and left them to the armed forces of the local government to clean up!

Yun Xiaoshui's army and the army led by Chasing Feng and others merged together, and took advantage of the victory to meet the rebel army with a herd of cattle. Besides, this rebel army is actually a detachment of that rebel army. It turned out that the rebels did not take Mengyin County, but captured two more county towns nearby, and the number of personnel had grown to three or four thousand.

Hearing that the army of the imperial court had set out, and the vanguard light cavalry army was approaching, he sent more than 1,000 people to intercept it.

Originally, they were supposed to march faster, at least to advance a hundred miles to meet Yun Xiaoshui, but they didn't go fast, and they rushed to eat all the way, as if intercepting the officers and soldiers was not as important as enjoying life. This is called delaying the fighter! Otherwise, how could Yun Xiaoshui be allowed to cross the river in the dark to bypass them?

As soon as he heard that the main force was defeated, Yun Xiaoshui's army chased after him, and the rebel army with the ploughing cattle ran forward desperately, but it didn't take long to get that Meng Zheng's army had arrived, and it immediately fell apart.

The rebels instantly split into two groups and ran in both directions. Yun Xiaoshui immediately pursued the group on the right, and Meng Zheng's army randomly sent out two thousand light cavalry to chase and kill the rebel army on the left.

There is no suspense, the officers and troops won a complete victory, and as long as the credit is Yun Xiaoshui. Yun Xiaoshui returned to the fiefdom with a large amount of loot, and the three magistrates and the three counties immediately came to see him. He comforted him and promised to allocate a huge amount of money to let them step up the preparations for the grain harvest, and at the same time strengthen the preparation for plowing and planting.

Fang Bu Fang, Quanquan, Chasing the Wind, Wind Thunder and others all came to see Yun Xiaoshui, although they won the battle, but Yun Xiaoshui's remote control command was good, their credit was not great, and they themselves knew it.

However, Yun Xiaoshui didn't think so!
