Chapter 714 (2) River crossing encounter
Ten miles to the north across the river from Pingliang City is Zhao Junsheng's cadre camp.
In the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng and Dongfang Chen and others studied how to attack Buliu Guli in the handsome tent, and the spies came to report, "King Qiyu, today, Buliu Guli led an army of 30,000 to Pingliang, and has settled in the camp left by our army!" ”
"Oh, it's coming pretty fast!" Zhao Junsheng said casually, and said to the generals, "Buliu Guli's army has just arrived, it must be that people are sleepy and lacking, and Gu wants to send a group of soldiers and horses to attack the camp, I don't know what you think?" ”
Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "The two sides are separated by the Jing River, and if you want to come to Buliuguli, you won't be too vigilant in your heart, but it's worth a try, but the minister thinks that the people who lead the troops to attack the camp should still be cautious, and once they find that something is wrong, they must retreat immediately!" ”
Zhao Junsheng saw that Dongfang Chen also agreed, thinking that even if this thing could not be done, it would not lose too much, but the people sent to lead the team must have a strong ability to adapt to the battle, he looked at the generals and asked, "Which general is willing to lead troops to attack the Wei army camp tonight?" ”
Lu Shuang first stood up and hugged his fists and said, "King, the young general is willing to lead the troops to attack the Wei army camp at night!" ”
Lu Shuang is young, martial arts, courageous, Zhao Junsheng admires this young man very much, seeing that he is the first to stand up and ask for battle, it is not good to dampen his enthusiasm, so he said, "Okay, Lone gives you 3,000 people, if you win, Lone will be rewarded!" ”
Lu Shuang's face was full of joy: "Thank you, King!" In the end, we will prepare for this."
Zhao Junsheng saw Lu Shuang leave happily, smiled knowingly, and asked Chang Kun, who was standing on the side, "In addition to the location where you crossed the river on foot, have you found any other locations where you can cross the river?" ”
Chang Kun replied, "At the end of last night, the general sent someone to investigate, but it hasn't been found yet!" ”
Zhao Junsheng instructed, "Try to check, let's just come to Chadao, this place is not familiar with the water, Pingliang is too guarded by Gao Wende, this person has been in Pingliang City for many years, if he knows a place to cross the river that we don't know, and sends troops to attack us, won't we suffer a big loss?" ”
Chang Kun clenched his fists and said, "The last general will send people to explore along the river bank, and at the same time, he will also send people to ask the local people to see if there are any other places where they can cross the river!" ”
At the same time, Buliu Guli, who had just arrived in Pingliang, was convening the generals to discuss the matter.
In the military tent, Bu Liugu returned and talked eloquently: "When our army first arrives today, the cadres must have received the news, but they should not be prepared against our army, I thought that our army could send troops to attack the camp tonight, and it will be successful!" ”
Buliu Guli felt that what her brother said seemed to be very reasonable, after all, they had just arrived, and they were tired of marching for a long time, and the cadres should not have imagined that they would send troops to attack at night.
After thinking about it and weighing it, Bu Liu Guli immediately agreed to Bu Liu's suggestion, "Okay, fourth, the matter of attacking the camp will be left to you, you go and select three thousand elite soldiers to get ready, and then set off after late night!" ”
"Thank you, big brother, I'll go and prepare!"
Bu Liu Guli didn't wait for her younger brother to leave, so she said to Gao Wende, "The fourth child is not familiar with the situation here, Gao Taishou sent a person who is familiar with the local situation to be his guide!" ”
Gao Wende also wanted to make some credit for his own people, so he recommended his younger brother Gao Wenzong to be a guide for Buliu Gugui.
After midnight, Lu Shuang quietly set off from the camp with 3,000 soldiers and horses, the starry sky was shining, the full moon was hanging in the sky, and the sight was not bad when marching, and the road ahead could be seen without lighting torches.
During the march, all the horses were wrapped in their hooves and mouths, and all the soldiers were not allowed to speak with wooden sticks in their mouths, only the heavy breathing of the horses and the metal friction of the armor.
When he arrived at the river, Lu Shuang found that the river was shrouded in a layer of white mist, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the river, so he rode his horse slowly down the river, and the three thousand cavalry behind him followed closely behind him in a row.
Less than halfway through the river, Lu Shuang noticed that something was wrong, there was a sound of water in the middle of the river opposite, he immediately stopped and raised his arm, and the generals behind him also stopped when they saw him like this.
There was only the sound of the murmuring water of the river around, Lu Shuang wondered, just now he heard the sound of water in front of him, and it was not small, why can't he hear it now? Could it be the sound of water made by a big fish?
At this time, on the river that was only fifty meters away from Lu Shuang, Bu Liugu Guizheng and his cavalry were standing quietly in the river, and they had just heard the sound of water on the river not far from the opposite side, which aroused their vigilance.
The front was shrouded in white mist, and he couldn't see anything clearly, Lu Shuang thought about it, took out a curved bow and an arrow from the bow sac, and he opened his bow and pulled the bow full of arrows and shot an arrow forward.
There was a soft "whoosh" sound.
Immediately after that, a miserable scream came from dozens of steps away, "Ahhh
Lu Shuang was shocked, and immediately shouted, "There are enemy troops ahead, give arrows, release arrows-"
The cavalry behind him was shocked, and immediately took out their bows and arrows to release arrows in front of them after hearing the order, "whoosh······
Bu Liugu's reaction was a beat slower, and when one of his soldiers was injured and screamed by Lu Shuang's arrow, and there was a loud roar of arrows from the opposite side, he reacted and immediately shouted, "Everyone give me arrows, shoot them, no one is allowed to stop without an order!" ”
"Whoosh ······"
On the surface of the river shrouded in white mist, the two sides kept firing arrows at each other from dozens of steps, and the screams kept coming from the camps of both sides, and people kept falling off their horses after being hit by arrows and being washed away by the river, and the horses that were shot were running wildly in the river, making a lot of water noise.
The river was stained red with blood, but no one could see it in the middle of the mist-shrouded night, and the two sides went back and forth, and arrows flew in the air, some hitting men and horses, and most of them in the water.
Each cavalryman was equipped with a pot of arrows, and thirty arrows were quickly shot, Lu Shuang put the bow back into the bow bag, took out his spear and shouted, "Brothers, kill me, kill!" ”
Bu Liugugui on the opposite side is not a soft egg, no one knows how big the casualties are in the bow and arrow shooting just now, but at this time, he must not retreat, otherwise it will be the face of rout, he took out a long lance and shouted, "Kill with me-"
"Kill—"
The horses of both sides desperately rushed to the opposite side, but they were hindered by the river, and the horses could not run in the water, and a large amount of water depth came out of the river.
When the two sides rushed closer and finally saw each other clearly, the warring sides knew that the brave won when they met on a narrow road, and the two sides were like enemies meeting each other.
The spear in Lu Shuang's hand shook, and the two enemy soldiers in front of him were picked off their horses and smashed into the water to make a large number of splashes, and the enemy soldiers next to him were also affected by the splash, Lu Shuang pounced into the flock like a tiger, and the spear in his hand stabbed an enemy to death every time he attacked.
This side of the six lonely return is also extremely brave, a long lance in his hand into the cadre army like no one's land.
At first, both sides were limited by the obstacles of the river and it was inconvenient to fight, but after a long time, the strict training of the cadres on weekdays played a significant role at this time, and the cadres and soldiers had a stronger will to fight, and the cooperation between their comrades was also more tacit.
And in this regard, the Wei army is obviously inferior to the cadre army, after fighting for an hour, the momentum of the Wei army dropped sharply, and the casualties increased significantly, but now the two sides are fighting together, no one has any clever tactics, can only fight to the end, the only difference is that the cooperation between the cadres and soldiers is becoming more and more skillful.
After killing for another half an hour, some people in the Wei army found that the situation was obviously unfavorable to their side, so they persuaded Bu Liugu to withdraw during the battle, and then consider the long term.
Although Bu Liugu is not very old, he has fought a lot of battles with his father and brother over the years, and he has rich experience, he knows that the retreat at this time must be covered by bows and arrows, otherwise he will not be able to get out at all, he immediately ordered people to draw soldiers from the shore who have not yet entered the water, and let them collect some arrows to cover the retreat of the army.
"General, everything is ready, more than a hundred archers have been arranged on the shore, quickly withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's too late!"
Bu Liugugui was very unwilling, but there was no other way, and if he continued to consume, he would only explain everyone here, he killed two cadres and cavalry with a spear and shouted, "Bow and arrow cover, the whole army retreats!" ”
When the soldiers on the shore heard the roar, they immediately fired arrows into the middle of the river, and the soldiers of the cadres who were about to chase and kill were met by a rain of arrows, killing and wounding some of the men and horses, and others dodged the arrows one after another, and the distance between the two sides was widened.
Waiting for the other party's arrow rain to stop, Lu Shuang saw that the other party had escaped a certain distance, and waited for the other party to stand firm on the shore and follow closely, wouldn't it be to chase after him to die? So he had to give the order to retreat.
Both sides retreated to the riverbank, and both were unwilling to leave some guard posts in their place, and then withdrew with a large group of men and horses.
Zhao Junsheng heard that Lu Shuang had come back with his troops, and when he walked out of the camp tent, he saw that Lu Shuang and the generals were all depressed, and the number of people who came back was already a little less.
Lu Shuang came to Zhao Junsheng and bowed down and said, "King, when the last general led the army to attack at night, he didn't want the other party to send someone to sneak attack our camp, the two sides encountered at the place where the river crossed, there was white fog on the river at that time, and it was not clear to see, crossing the river generally encountered the opponent's forward, after a fight, the soldiers on the other side of the shore shot the formation with bows and arrows, and the forward withdrew to the shore. ”
Zhao Junsheng helped Lu Shuang up and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, it's not your fault!" Let's go back to the tent and rest! ”
"The last will retire!"
Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng came to the river with the Dragon Guard after receiving the report, only to see a large number of corpses floating on the river, the light cavalry did not have heavy equipment, and the armor on the body was also leather armor.
