Chapter 61: Swimming Against the Current

Xia Yu said casually: "Give me a hundred elite troops, plus ten small boats." I'll leave the main battlefield for the time being and go to the upper reaches of the Wenshui River! ”

"I think you want to escape at all, what can you do to go upstream?" Pei Lin is neither yin nor yang, Xia Yu is not fighting on the main battlefield, can there be a way to go?

His first reaction was that the other party wanted to escape.

"Pei Xingjian said very well, our army and the enemy army are in a state of anxiety, and now it is the time when it is difficult to separate. It is precisely in need of a brave general like General Xia to charge into battle, intimidate the enemy, and strike a severe blow to their arrogance......"

With Pei Lin as the backstage, Tian Chong was even more blatant.

"Enough!" Li Shimin shouted: "Pass on my general's order, as General Xia said, assign him ten taels of small boats and one hundred elite troops!" ”

Xia Yu glanced at Pei Lian, and there was a mockery in his eyes: "Pei Xingjian, I haven't seen you wearing clothes embroidered with 'I'm a stupid pig', how could I be willing to run away." ”

The boat was ready, Xia Yu sat in one of the boats, and ordered the sergeants to fill the bottom of the boat with mud and sand before setting off.

The frontal battlefield will not necessarily lose without Xia Yu, but if Xia Yu does not go upstream, then Liquan City will not be able to attack it for another month.

"Report to the general, there is an enemy fleet heading upstream!"

The Sui army under Luo Yu was well-trained, and no matter what kind of turmoil happened on the battlefield, they would report to him as soon as possible.

Stunned, Luo Yu looked down at the topographic map of Liquan City carefully, the enemy still had time to distract himself at this time to go to the upper reaches of the Wenshui River, what was this doing.

Jing watched the kung fu of a cup of tea, and Luo Yu felt a burst of cold air behind him, and said in a lost voice: "Not good!" ”

He quickly descended the main gate tower, came to the wall on the left, and looked down, only to see a fleet of ships slowly moving upstream.

"Attack with all your might, you have to stop this fleet from going upstream. Hurry, hurry! ”

At that moment, he walked up to a trebuchet, loaded a boulder and projected it at the boat in the lead.

The boat was not fast when it was going upstream, and the cabin was full of mud and sand, and the waterline was very deep, so the sergeants could not help but complain in their hearts.

When they saw the stones projected from the city wall and fall into the river in front of them, the boat was safe and sound, and they had to admire Xia Yu's unpredictable prophet.

If it weren't for the amount of sediment, the rocks would fall into the water, and the rapids would have been enough to make it difficult for the boat to spin in the water.

The route of the fleet coincided with the range of the trebuchet, and the boulder landed only a foot away from the side of the ship.

After a round of projection, Luo Yu could only stare dryly, and jumped to his feet: "Quick, quickly collect civilian boats, fill the boats with forage, and give them a fire attack!" ”

"General Luo, it's just a fleet, do we need to work so hard?" The commander was a little dissatisfied.

Luo Yu slapped his backhand, and said angrily: "If you want to do it, you will do it, and if it is too late, Liquan City will be gone." ”

The commander covered his face and hurriedly acted according to Luo Yu's orders.

What Luo Yu said was not an exaggeration, he only hated himself for being negligent for a while and revealing the most important link.

Behind Liquan City is the Wenshui River, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, once the enemy blocks the river in the upper reaches, the Wenshui River is diverted to impact Liquan City, this is not a joke, the whole Liquan City is afraid that it will become a water town.

The reason why Xia Yu was able to take this into account was because there was a record of "terrain" in the "Wu Mu Testament" and discovered this loophole.

Hundreds of civilian boats were collected, filled with forage, lit up, and rushed down the river to Li Jiajun's fleet.

When the trebuchet stopped firing, Xia Yu had already ordered the sergeants to clear the mud and sand out of the cabin, and the boat was moving at a fast speed.

Seeing hundreds of lit civilian boats coming towards them, Xia Yu stood at the bow of the boat and ordered the boat to sail in a zigzag pattern.

If there is a boat that cannot be avoided, the civilian boat will be vigorously pushed away with wooden sticks to ensure that it will not collide with the civilian boat.

When he dodged the civilian boats, Luo Yu had only one last way left, and personally led a group of more than 1,000 troops to the back door.

The back gate is a two-mile-wide strip away from the Wenshui River, where they can all be killed, and Liquan City will be safe.

The back door opened, and a thousand people poured out, lined up on the riverbank, bows and arrows.

As soon as the formation was set up, Li Jiajun's fleet arrived, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a long voice: "Let you take the lead and come out to speak!" ”

Xia Yu clasped his fists on the boat and said, "My name is Xia Yu, and I am their leader. ”

Luo Yu looked at Xia Yu in front of him in surprise, he was only in his early twenties: "You came up with this solution?" ”

Xia Yu nodded indifferently: "Otherwise." ”

"It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, you are so young, you have such a conspiracy to see the overall situation, if it takes time, you will inevitably become a generation of famous generals. If you are willing, as long as you are obedient, I will ensure that you will soar. ”

Luo Yu was attracted to Xia Yu, and even asked him to give up the position of the main general, he would agree without thinking.

"If General Luo is willing to surrender, I will definitely be able to guarantee that General Luo will hold an important position in the Li family's army!"

Luo Yu smiled conceitedly: "The old man is such a person, how can he surrender to the traitor." Xia Yu, the old man looks at your talent, and can't bear to let you die young, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant! ”

"Oh?" Xia Yu only said one word.

"Don't you see that? We have a thousand of them, and you have only a hundred, how are our opponents! All I need to do is give me an order, and my elite soldiers will shoot you all into hedgehogs. ”

Xia Yu said-for-tat: "Since a hundred of us dare to come here, we will definitely have something to rely on, how can General Luo know that we have no backhand!" ”

Luo Yuyu knotted, dare a hundred people to go against the current, who gave them the courage, could it be that there are ambushes?

After looking around for a moment, Luo Yu made sure that there were no enemies around,

Luo Yu laughed and said: "I don't believe that I am playing bluff in front of General Ben." ”

Xia Yu shook his head lightly: "General Luo, it's not that I'm lying, but that you don't understand the situation in front of you!" ”

Luo Yu didn't bother to reason with Xia Yu: "Shoot!" ”

Xia Yu shouted: "Slow, General Luo, do you really want these thousand people, along with the garrisons and people in the city, to become the water king?" ”

Luo Yu's expression froze, and his hand was slowly lowered.

The lives of everyone in Liquan City were tied to him, and he didn't dare to risk it.

Xia Yu calmly took out a bundle of tubes from his body, and the reader rewarded him with a bundle of tubes, so that he had the capital to negotiate with Luo Yu.

"Now I'll show you my reliance."

took out a fire fold, Xia Yu lit the fuse, threw the tube out, and with a bang, a large splash was blown up on the entire water surface.

The loud bang shook the sky!

The Sui army standing on the shore was drenched in the water, and some of the ear holes flowed blood.
