Lu Shuang was under a lot of pressure, if he couldn't capture the Wei army fortifications across the river before dawn in this battle, he would be asked to be a small soldier in the end, this kind of taste was not comfortable, although he had not experienced it, but he could imagine it, so he secretly vowed to capture the enemy fortifications on the opposite side before dawn.

According to the spies, the Wei army dug three trenches and erected three rows of fences on the other side of the river as three lines of defense, and there were several arrow towers and three barracks on these three lines.

Trenches, fences, and arrow towers are enough, and because the barracks are improvised, there is no need to mention the sturdiness, so they can only be used reluctantly, and if they are hit by a trebuchet with a stone projectile, a stone bullet can collapse a barracks.

In order to give full play to the role of each branch of the infantry, Lu Shuang arranged five sword and shield soldiers, three spearmen and two archers in each of them, so that the sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and archers could cooperate with each other.

Lu Shuang squatted on the river and observed the other side of the river, because the distance was a little far and the light was not very good at night, so he couldn't see clearly, but there must be Wei troops stationed in the fortifications on the opposite side.

"Up!" Lu Shuang raised his palm and waved it forward.

The task of the two teams of swords and shieldmen was to find the width of the area where they could wade across the river on foot, and to separate the deep and shallow areas by inserting wooden sticks between the shallow and deep water areas and tying them to the sticks with ropes.

In this way, subsequent people who cross the river will not go into the deep water area and be washed away by the river.

Lu Shuang saw that the two pathfinder teams had reached the middle of the river, he got up and waved his hand back, "Follow me!" ”

No one spoke, all the infantry silently followed behind Lu Shuang, and the six thousand infantry slowly went into the water like dumplings in the dark night.

Everyone was light-hearted, trying not to stir up the sound of splashing, if the Wei sentries heard it, it would definitely wake up the other defenders!

Half an hour later, the cadres and soldiers at the front were only thirty steps away from the other side of the river, and the dense cadres and soldiers on the river surface had already appeared in the sight of the Wei sentries with great emotion.

The Wei sentry on a watchtower yawned and looked down to see the dense crowd of people on the river, and he grabbed the hammer next to him and smashed it at the hanging bell.

"Dangdangdang······" The alarm bell sounded, and the sleeping Wei generals woke up, and they all ran to their defensive positions with weapons and crossbows.

"Damn it!" Lu Shuang scolded secretly, and when he learned that he had been discovered by the defenders, he immediately made a decision, pulled out his war knife and pointed forward and shouted, "Brothers, rush ashore with me, kill—"

"Kill-" The cadres and soldiers carried shields and spears to speed up the water.

The distance of more than thirty steps is not too far, and before the defenders are fully in place, Lu Shuang has already led people to the shore and rushed in the first direction.

When they were about to rush to the front of the first line of defense, some of the defenders had already rushed to the defensive positions, and scattered arrows shot from behind the fence, and several careless cadres were shot and fell to the ground.

In front of the first line of defense was a trench three meters wide and two meters deep, and behind the trench was a wooden fence, and the attacking cadres had to cross the three-meter-wide trench before they could pass it, but there was no place between the trench and the wooden fence.

Lu Shuang, who rushed up, led the soldiers to cross the trench in a big stride, and could only grasp the wooden fence, with only a few footholds under their feet, they grabbed the wooden fence with one hand, and grabbed the weapons with the other hand to fight with the Wei army on the inside of the fence.

Some of the cadres and soldiers did not cross the trench and fell down and were nailed to death by the spiked stakes under the trench, some were shot dead before they could rush under the fence, and many more were killed at the fence and fell into the trench.

However, the strict coordination of the cadres played a role at this time, and Lu Shuang saw that he could not rush into the first line of defense for a while, so he ordered the sword and shield soldiers to block in front, and used archers to keep firing arrows into the fortifications in the rear.

The Wei archers inside the fence, in the arrow towers and on the barracks were quickly suppressed, and one by one the Wei archers were shot.

Iron hooks were tied with ropes and shot out by the soldiers with crossbows, and after the iron hooks were shot, they were pulled back and hung on the fence, and the other end of the rope was tied to the war horse, and each of the dozens of ropes was tied to a horse, and these horses were driven to exert force together.

With a "boom", the first row of wooden fences was pulled down, and the improvised wooden fences were really not very strong.

The Wei generals behind the wooden fence were exposed in front of the cadres, and the two sides came back to their senses, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards each other, "Kill—"

The soldiers of the cadres crossed the trenches with shields and spears and slaughtered into the Wei position, and the sound of swords and weapons clanged non-stop.

"Whoosh ······" The front dry sabers, shield soldiers and spearmen fought against the Wei army, and the archers in the rear gathered together to release arrows at the rear of the Wei army's position, and the Wei soldiers who wanted to come forward to reinforce were shot to the ground one by one.

After about half an hour of fighting, the first line of defense of the Wei army was completely occupied, and the remnants of the soldiers had to retreat to the second line of defense.

Within an hour of that, the cadres broke through to the third line of defense one after another, and the battalions and arrow towers within the three lines of defense were captured one after another.

When the Wei army, which was only six miles away from this place, came to support, this fortification had been completely occupied by the cadres, and the reinforcing Wei troops were also pursued by the high-morale cadres, and these Wei troops fled back to the defense line of another river crossing site six miles away, but were surrounded by the cadres.

At dawn, Zhao Junsheng commanded the army to cross the river.

"King Qiqi, General Lu Shuang has led his army to capture the Wei army's fortifications, another river crossing point six miles upstream, and captured more than 500 Wei troops!"

"Well done!" Zhao Junsheng's face was full of joy, and he ordered, "Tell the people behind and let them speed up and cross the river!" What about Chang Kun? Go and call Chang Kun! ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Chang Kun to come to Zhao Junsheng and clench his fists and say, "Wang, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, "Give you a task, you take 10,000 cavalry to set off first, find a higher ground and set up camp twenty miles west of the Wei army camp, and the main army will arrive later!" ”

"Yes!" Chang Kun turned around after receiving the order, and soon ordered 10,000 cavalry to go east as fast as possible.

At noon, the soldiers of the Wei army who had escaped from the fortifications at the river crossing site sixty miles upstream of the Jing River reported to Buliu Guli: "Lord Wang, the fortifications at the river crossing site sixty miles upstream have been captured by the cadres, and the main force of the cadres has crossed the river!" ”

"What?" Bu Liuguli was so shocked that she stood up from the horse, "Are you sure it's the main force of the cadre army?" Doesn't that mean that they have abandoned their camp across the river and intend to fight our army here? ”

"It is true that the main force of the cadre army has crossed the river, and there are more than 30,000 cavalry, it will never be wrong!"

The fourth brother next to him, Bu Liugugui, stood up and said loudly, "Big brother, order the army to assemble and set off, take advantage of their overnight crossing the river, and rush to this side one after another, it must be a lack of people and horses, our army can crush the cadre army with just one charge!" ”

Buliu Guli frowned and scolded: "Why are you still this anxious? We don't know whether the cadres will stay where they are to rest or whether they have already advanced to this side, if they stop where they are to rest, we will kill them like this, and when we reach the ground, it is not them who are sleepy, but us! ”

Bu Liugugui was scolded and returned to his original position in a sneering manner.

Buliu Guli said in a deep voice, "Don't be in a hurry to send troops, our army is camped with its back to Beiliangcheng, no matter which direction the cadres come from, our army is fighting against the city and has the advantage!" In my opinion, it is better to send elite scouts first to find out the movements of the main force of the cadre army and then make calculations. Someone came, ordered the scout battalion to send elite scouts to the west to explore the movements of the main force of the cadre army, and report back as soon as there was news! ”

Someone next to him stood up and promised, "Get the order!" ”

After mid-afternoon, the scouts reported that the cadres had arrived twenty miles to the west and were camping on a high ground.

Buliu Gugui stood up again and said, "Big brother, you can't let them set up a camp!" Without further ado, we need to send troops quickly! ”

Bu Liu Guli listened to the fourth child's suggestion, thought for a few seconds, and then looked at the other brothers and generals, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

General Pang Chao stood up and said, "Lord Wang, if more than 20,000 soldiers and horses are dispatched, it will take half an hour to complete the assembly at the earliest, and it will take half an hour to complete the assembly at the earliest. Night Raid? The camp of the dry army is built strongly, and it is on the high ground, and our army is all cavalry, how can we attack? I'll have to go back then! ”

Buliu Guli also knew that if he wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the cadre army to bargain, he was afraid that the opportunity was not large, and the other party was obviously carefully planned, and setting up the camp twenty miles away was to make it impossible for him to lead the army to attack in the first place.

After thinking for a long time, Bu Liu Guli ordered, "Third brother, you bring three thousand cavalry over to attack and disturb them, so that they can't camp normally, and by the way, find out their details, whether all the main forces have arrived!" ”

"Understood!" After receiving the order, the three thousand cavalry left the camp and headed west.

Bu 6 Gulu rushed with 3,000 men and horses to kill near the camp that the cadre army was building and was about to attack, but was attacked by the cadre army, and when the battle was engaged, Zhao Junsheng arrived with the follow-up main army, Bu 6 Gubai was frightened and trembled, worried that he would be surrounded by the cadre army, so he had to flee in panic with the remaining soldiers and horses.

Chang Kun led his troops to chase and kill for a while, but was stopped by Zhao Junsheng.

"King, the minister is leading the troops to chase and kill the Wei army, how did he send someone to call Weichen back?" Chang Kun asked as soon as he entered the tent.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile, "The soldiers haven't slept all night, and they have stepped up their march during the day, and they have built a camp just now, they are already very tired, so let the big guys rest more, recharge their energy, and fight against the Wei army tomorrow!" ”
