Crossing the river, crossing the river, this is what Gao Yingxiang is doing now, watching the thousands of sails racing, watching the sheepskin rafts covering the entire section of the river, listening to the earth-shaking trumpets issued by those subordinates who have greatly boosted their morale because of this unexpected joy, shouting to kill, at this moment, Gao Yingxiang cheered up again, and really returned to the original era of directing the country and scolding Fang Yu again.

The first wave, 200 sheepskin rafts and more than a dozen ferries, under the operation of the captain who was familiar with the water, slanted towards the east bank.

This time, Gao Yingxiang really made a bloody investment, and the first time he landed and impacted, all of them were his most confidant elite standard battalions. In order to reduce the weight of the sheepskin raft and carry as many soldiers as possible, Gao Yingxiang ordered all the personnel to discard all the burdens, only wear single clothes and shorts, and in addition to the weapons in their hands, they are only shields, and even the other important protective armor is thrown away.

When the sledgehammer sat on the first sheepskin raft and rushed out of the shore, there was not fear in his chest, but pride, pride.

King Da Chuang said, what is this to learn Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and die if he doesn't enter.

He didn't know about the ruin, but he knew that Xiang Yu was an overlord through the ages, and every martial artist was proud to be a hero like Xiang Yu.

This time, Gao Yingxiang stood in front of tens of thousands of people, holding the sword that would never leave his body, and shouted at his people, "We are fighting to the death today!" ”

Gao Yingxiang's words were shocking, and it immediately caused a slight commotion among the generals. But the coach's heavy eyes immediately pressed over, and the emotional waves of the generals were immediately forced.

He continued to talk to the generals about the situation in front of him: "To the south, there is Yichuan Jiancheng, where the city is high and deep, and there are nearly 10,000 military households, and there are sufficient defensive equipment, sufficient grain and grass. ”

Everyone has known this situation for a long time, and for the 30,000 rabble to conquer Yichuan County, everyone knows the result.

"To the west, there are 7,000 Lu Shi's army and 10,000 of his militia. That's a dead place too. ”

In the face of Lu Shi, everyone in the spirit, there is no longer a little psychology of victory, although they have a hundred explosives bags given by Lu Shi, this powerful weapon, but because they have already learned the power of the explosives bag, so it is even more terrifying, especially people still have crossbows, as long as they wait for a charge, it has not yet reached the front of the people, it has already made the people blow up to ashes, that is a dead end.

"To the north, that's where we came, where there is no more food and grass we need, and all that awaits us is starvation and death." As if it was a threat, a word of bad luck, announcing to the generals that if they were defeated, there would be no way back.

Before the decisive battle, the coach should not speak like this, but this is Gao Yingxiang's judgment. Forced to fight a decisive battle in advance, it is better to be more alarmist than to cover up the enemy situation in the rear with rhetoric. The key to the so-called resurrection after death is to make the soldiers understand the danger of failure.

"Compared with the nine deaths and lives before and after, it is easy to cross the Yellow River and defeat the 3,000 officers and troops on the riverbank."

The crisis must be said, this is the so-called death and then life, but the road must not be blocked, then people despair, despair is followed by giving up, then it is counterproductive, tell them the crisis, but more importantly, tell them that as long as they work hard, there is still hope, and that hope is very huge and beautiful.

Instigated the sense of crisis in the hearts of the generals, and the blood aroused by the crisis, Gao Yingxiang's tone relaxed a little, "In the past year, we have faced three or five thousand officers and soldiers, and we have not lost in field battles, especially now, we are still ten times the enemy, and we also have the invincible explosives package given by Lu Shizi, we will definitely win." Looking at everyone's firm and confident faces, Gao Yingxiang shouted again: "As long as we cross the Yellow River and enter Shanxi, that empty and rich land is the paradise for our development and growth. In the end, Huo Ran stood up. And the generals let out a low roar, and the fighting spirit was like fire.

In the excitement of the generals, Gao Yingxiang took out the sword in his waist and pointed obliquely at the direction of the Yellow River crossing outside the tent: "However, we must cross the river, only if we successfully cross the river can we have a good day in the future, and today is the decisive battle!" …… Remember, we're fighting against the odds! ”

The drums of war rumbled.

Looking at the panicked officers and soldiers on the opposite riverbank, and then looking at the explosives bag in his arms, the big hammer had absolute confidence to defeat those dog officers.

In fact, as Gao Yingxiang's most powerful subordinate, the leader of the first team, he did not need to charge into battle with an explosive bag in person, but in order to boost morale, the big hammer was the first to sign up for the death squad, and a hundred brothers also joined in.

One blow must be hit, this is what Gao Yingxiang has repeatedly advised, it is absolutely necessary to kill the officers and soldiers as soon as possible, and occupy a foothold for the follow-up old battalion people to cross the river.

The other members of the death squad all tied the explosives bag to their bodies, and only the big hammer was forcibly discarded by Gao Yingxiang, so that after rushing to the opposite bank, when the death squad blew up the Mongolian official army, he took his follow-up brothers to charge into battle. That's what he's supposed to do.

Sledgehammer knew his mission, but he jumped on the first ferry, and after the twenty ferries, there were sheepskin rafts that covered the river.

The rolling Yellow River has not become docile because of the great drought for many years, it is still roaring and rushing violently and irritably, showing its greatness to the dense crowd on both sides of the river, and the ferry boat is in this roar, up and down, swaying from side to side, from time to time someone screams and is thrown off the river from the sheepskin raft, and then without even a chance to struggle, it is drowned by the huge waves, the turbid river, and there is no trace.

The sledgehammer didn't look at the chaotic Yellow River, and he didn't look at the comrades who fell into the water behind him, and in his eyes, there were only more and more clear officials and soldiers on the riverbank ferry, and his ears were full of war drums sounded by King Dachuang himself.

When the ferry was about to approach the river bank, although panicked, the officers and archers who had been waiting for a long time ran out of the array and began to shoot arrows at the ferries and sheepskin rafts covered on the Yellow River, the overwhelming rain of arrows fell like a storm, nailed to the shields put together by the death squads, and shot into the layers of sheepskin rafts, some of the arrows were sharp, and pierced the inflated air bags, but most of them were just one or two pierced and leaky, only a few were more broken, and they could no longer bear the soldiers on the raft. So immediately, in a wailing and screaming, the whole raft of people fell into the Yellow River, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

But no one hesitated, no one flinched, they had no way to retreat, and they had to go ashore to survive.

The sledgehammer felt the bottom of the boat move, and the high-speed ferry suddenly stopped, and the bottom of the boat touched the riverbed.

The sledgehammer suddenly stood up and shouted to the death squads on the dozen boats behind him: "Brothers, rush-" The first to jump out of the boat.

There was no need for him to command and agitate, all the brothers shouted and jumped off the warship without hesitation, jumped into the waist-deep water, and rushed to the river bank with difficulty.

They held huge shields in one hand to fend off a rain of arrows coming at them, and in the other hand they held the guide rope of the explosive bag on their chest, in front of which between their fingertips was a burning cotton wool that could be ignited as soon as they rushed into enemy formation.

Rushing up, a hundred men lined up in a horizontal line, and after dropping three or five corpses, they rushed close to the thick formation of officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the archers were no longer useful, the officers and soldiers immediately dispersed and continued to attack the rafts in the river, and pressed the large array of officers and soldiers lined up in five layers against this lonely hundred men, in their eyes, in front of the three thousand sabers and shieldmen, these people were nothing more than moths to the fire and brought about their own destruction.

Those death squad brothers, with shields full of feather arrows, directly crashed into the official army array, and then howled, ignited the guide rope in their hands, and then screamed and threw themselves into the official army formation.

Time is in the eyes of the big hammer, and that short moment is as long as ten thousand years, and the whole heart is mentioned to the throat, for fear that Lu Shi has done something and the explosives bag he gave himself are all waste, then he really wants the brothers to fight with their lives, then it is really a sea of corpses and blood.

The long wait finally came to an end, with the first earth-shattering explosion, after the explosion in the tight array of officials and soldiers, followed by a roaring explosion like a mountain of mountains, and there was no longer a single sound, those who had just abandoned the boat and landed on the shore to prepare to pounce, they felt a tingling in their ears, and then the earth trembled, making all the people shake together, and before they could gain a foothold, there was a blazing wind with the choking smell of gunsmoke, and under this huge wind, all the people could no longer stand, Completely overturned on the riverbank, in the Yellow River, it seems that the chaotic Yellow River water is leaning back, in the face of such a huge momentum, but also to retreat.

Gao Yingxiang stood on the opposite bank, looking at the fire and smoke, looking at the stumps of swords and guns flying in the black smoke and flames like pieces of paper, and looking at the large area of the originally neat and tight official and military formation shrouded in the rolling sea of smoke and fire, he couldn't help but slap his big hands, laughed, and shouted: "It's done." ”

Lu Shi, who had already entered the range of five miles, suddenly felt the restlessness of the white dragon horse in front of the quiet military formation, followed by a loud noise like Chen Lei, rolling over, the war horses of those cavalry were beating and twisting together irritablely, and the formation could no longer be maintained, Lu Shi let out a sigh of relief, and his heavy face for many days was like rain and the sky was clear, and he gently let go of the sword in his hand and muttered: "It's done." ”

The high Yichuan city head, Zhao Zi and the master, as well as the thousands of households, also looked nervously to the north, and the signatories standing around the city were even more nervous, waiting for the news of Gao Yingxiang's crossing of the river.

When Chen Lei's muffled sound came from afar in the sky, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and then, to the thousands of households around him, it could be disbanded, and loudly announced to the people in the city who were looking forward to it: "Everyone can settle down." ”

He also collected the gate tax from the loser in the cave of the city gate, and the official who opened and closed the city gate shouted: "Open the city—"

In the cheers of the crowd, the gate of Yichuan, which had been closed for half a month, was slowly opened, and those ordinary businessmen who needed to go out of the city to make a living rushed out of the city gate with cheers.
