Chapter Seventy-Five: Crossing the Bridge
While Er Zhurong was pointing out the rivers and mountains on the north bank, on the south bank of the river bridge, all the generals of the white-robed army gathered together, and they were also pointing and discussing the battle situation.
On the other side of the river, the banner of the Northern Army covers the sky and the sun, stretching for dozens of miles, which can not be described as magnificent. There was the one who was weaker, and his face turned pale when he saw it, and he couldn't help but say, "Envoy! Although the Heqiao City Fortress is dangerous, after all, it is necessary to worry about the great strength of the northern thieves. In case the northern thieves continue to attack day and night, regardless of casualties, the brothers will not be able to bear it. Wouldn't it be easier to simply dismantle the pontoon bridge and block it with the big river? ”
Chen Qingzhi shook his head: "This pontoon bridge can never be demolished." ”
The big guy didn't quite understand, and at this time Pei Guo interjected: "The river is thousands of miles, even if the pontoon bridge in front of you is removed, when the Northern Army really wants to cross, where can't it be crossed?" It is better to keep the pontoon bridge to lead the northern army to attack, but it is better to be able to hold the river bridge and fortress than to be frightened and frightened, and I don't know where the northern army crossed the river to kill. ”
Everyone suddenly realized and nodded yes.
"What Xiaokuan said is quite reasonable." Chen Qingzhi praised it with a smile, but then his face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "But... In my heart, this pontoon bridge is still used. ”
"Oh?" Pei Guo couldn't guess what Chen Qingzhi was thinking, his eyes were blazing, all on Chen Qingzhi's face.
Chen Qingzhi said leisurely: "I don't dismantle the pontoon bridge, because this pontoon bridge can communicate with the north and south." ”
Everyone is stagnant--- pontoon bridge is used to communicate the north and the south, so that you can hear this... How is it equal to not saying?
Chen Qingzhi continued: "Since the northern thief can cross the bridge, hehe, we can also cross the bridge." ”
"Huh?" There was an uproar in the city, and everyone was shocked.
Song Jingxiu ate and said: "The northern thieves on the other side are known as 500,000 troops, even if the actual number is not so much, two or three hundred thousand are always indispensable, not to mention that there are many Erzhu iron horsemen, and they are definitely not a rabble... Listen to the envoy's will, without waiting for the northern thieves to attack, our army will kill on the other side? I'm afraid that's not right, right? Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Why not?" Chen Qingzhi sneered: "Lian Er and the others never thought of counterattacking the north bank, and the northern thieves would not be guarded. I mean, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, I will open the city to the north tonight, cross the bridge and attack at night, and I will win a big victory! ”
Pei Guo frowned and said, "The Erzhu clan's army on the north shore is camped for dozens of miles, covering an extremely vast area. No matter how much our army is taken by surprise, in the end there are less than 6,000 people, and the manpower is poor, how many battalions can be attacked? On the contrary, it is a lone army to set foot on the north bank, and if you are not careful, you will be besieged, and at that time, you want to return to the south bank but you can't, what should you do? ”
Chen Qingzhi smiled: "Which one told you that you want to retreat to the south bank?" ”
"What?" The crowd became more and more frightened.
"Take the map!" Chen Qingzhi shouted loudly, and someone took the map of Luozhong, where the mountains and rivers, the city, the path, the dangerous pass... Painted on it one by one, the direction is clear, and it is clear at a glance.
Under the blue sky and white sun, countless pairs of eyes on the head of Heqiao City stared at the map. Chen Qingzhi poked his finger on the map, and everyone saw clearly that it was where the Heqiao City Fortress was located.
Chen Qingzhi moved to the north, and moved across the big river on the map: "Tonight, our army will sneak out of the Heqiao City Fortress, cross the bridge to the north, and attack the enemy camp in front of you first!" ”
Chen Qingzhi's fingers moved again, moved about an inch to the northwest, and pointed on a city in the picture, and said: "Then the whole army turned to the northwest, burning and killing along the road, so as to disturb the hearts of the northern thieves." Finally arrive here and knock on the gate to take the city. ”
"North Midtown?" Everyone's eyes moved with Chen Qingzhi's fingers, and at this time, they all shouted: "Our army will not return to Heqiao City, but will capture Beizhong City?" ”
Chen Qingzhi nodded: "Yes!" Our army went north this time, not only to attack the northern thieves at night, but to capture this city! ”
Beizhong City, also known as Zhonglang City, built in the 20th year of Taihe of the Wei Dynasty, once placed the Beizhonglang Mansion to guard, because of the name. Beizhong City is one of the three military cities in Heyang on the opposite bank, located in the north and south of the city, has always been called "north and south two stops" with the river bridge city fortress, although it is not as close to the water bank as the river bridge city fortress, it is not far from the river bank.
Song Jingxiu couldn't help muttering: "Even if you can successfully take Beizhong City, in the end, you won't be surrounded by the Northern Thieves?" What is the envoy going to do like this? ”
Including Pei Guo, everyone was in the same mind, and they were all puzzled.
I heard Chen Qingzhi's loud voice spread throughout the city: "The northern thieves are powerful, and they are afraid that they will not be able to hold only the south bank, if they can take the north and the middle city, they can echo the north and the south, so that the thieves do not dare to go too south, and the pressure on the south bank will be greatly reduced." I expect that the northern thieves will have more food and less food, and we only need to hold on for a month or two, and the northern thieves will run out of food and should retreat. ”
"There is some truth to that... Pei Guo still hesitated, and he didn't see the outside, and poured beans and said that he would come out: "However, our army is alone on the north bank, can we take Beizhong City in one fell swoop?" After taking it, hundreds of thousands of northern troops will be encircled, and our army can hold it? Also, how much is the weight of grain and grass in the North Middle City? Can you hold out until the Northern Army runs out of food? ”
"Xiaokuan asked well!" Chen Qingzhi laughed: "But unfortunately, I can't answer any of your doubts." ”
"This..." Pei Guo had a black line: "This is too dangerous, isn't it?" Envoy, think twice. ”
"Don't think twice!" Chen Qingzhi was arrogant: "Since the day my white-robed army became an army, the north and south have been fighting for 3,000 miles, what kind of city can't be defeated?" What day is it not out of the way? What do you mean by that? Oh yes, thousands of troops avoid white robes! ”
The white-robed army is invincible and invincible, this idea not only exists in the hearts of those northerners who have been frightened, but the white-robed army itself is even more convinced. Then a thunderous roar erupted from the city: "Thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes!" Thousands of troops avoid white robes! Everyone was excited, and they all clenched their fists and pounded their chests, and there was a clattering sound.
Chen Qingzhi couldn't stop laughing: The military heart is available!
Pei Guo asked: "Then our army is exhausted, who will defend the river bridge city?" ”
"The city fortress of the river bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are more than 10,000 defenders, unless the defender is a fool, you should sit back and relax. I have sent someone to say to Yuan Hao that I will have my own soldiers and horses stationed in the afternoon to replace our army. ”
。。。。。。
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was the most suitable for the night attack, and the white-robed army was full of spirit and opened the city. People and horses have crossed the pontoon bridge and crossed the river silently. Sure enough, the northern army was defenseless, and everywhere they went, they didn't even see a single patrol and sentry.
The white-robed army was also like a thunderstorm, and Hula crashed into the northern military camp in front of him, setting fire to people all the way, and causing serious injuries.
Soon three battalions were broken in a row, and after a while, they had reached the bottom of the North Middle City. The guards at the gate of the city shouted and were at a loss, and in a panic they did not even close the gates.
Huang Qi's horse rushed to lightning, Pei Guo rushed into the city gate cave first, and the guards could not resist, and scattered and collapsed. Nearly 6,000 white-robed troops followed, pouring into the city like a tide, easily fighting for a while, and then won the North Central City.
It is to close the four gates and put troops on defense. Occasionally, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army approached, and they were all shot back.
