Chapter 581: Crossing the River and Landing on the Beach

After Zhao Junsheng gave the order to cross the river at dawn two days later, all units of the army began to get busy, and the cavalry did not have the task of crossing the river to attack at first, and they were responsible for security and vigilance.

According to the deployment, the Gao Guli army was responsible for crossing the river by boat for the first wave of attack missions, commanded by the general Wen Qi, in order to prevent these people from fighting against the water, Zhao Junsheng deployed a supervision team on each of their ships, and they could not retreat, cut off!

The second wave of river crossing attack tasks was responsible for the Yan army's surrender, commanded by Chang Kun, Zhao Junsheng was more at ease with the Yan army's troops, Yan no longer existed, and these people had long been abandoned by Feng Hong, they would not die for Feng Hong, so they could only follow him Zhao Junsheng with all their hearts.

The last wave of attacks was carried out by the infantry of the Youzhou Army, and these three successive attacks were not only launched after the previous wave of attacks was over or the entire army was wiped out, but were launched continuously, without giving the Goguryi army a chance to breathe.

When the Youzhou Army was preparing for war, Zhao Junsheng received a letter from Mulan.

Since Hua Mulan left Youzhou for Pingcheng in February this year, Zhao Junsheng has only received a total of three letters from Mulan, not that Hua Mulan does not want to write letters, but that Zong Ai's eyes and ears are all over the government and the opposition, and many ministers of the DPRK and China are being monitored.

This letter was secretly sent by Zhao Junsheng at the news collection point in Youzhou, in which Mulan admitted that the situation in Pingcheng was becoming more and more tense, and Zong Ai recruited many idlers to monitor the ministers and generals of the imperial court in order to maintain his rule.

Since the Shanhu people Bailong launched a rebellion in Bingzhou, Xue Yongzong of Hedong responded with his clansmen, and captured the entire Bingzhou and Hedong in just half a month, Zongai's behavior has become more and more intense, as long as the ministers and generals of the court have the slightest inappropriate words and behavior, they will be immediately arrested and interrogated, and basically the people who were captured were not able to come out intact.

There is a saying that "if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy", Zhao Junsheng has a hunch that the day of Zong Ai will not be too far away, those Xianbei clans and military nobles will not tolerate Zong Ai to continue to be rampant, once they can no longer bear it, they will no longer care about the identity of the little emperor.

The day before crossing the river to attack, Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi found Zhao Junsheng and said: "Lord, the two of us have a divination today, and this hexagram shows that by one month at the latest, something big will happen in the court!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was quite surprised, could it be that the divination skills of these two people can really be channeled? They also counted that Zongai was going to be finished? Zhao Junsheng was actually not sure that Zong Ai was going to end, and he didn't know what kind of process this eunuch would end, he just had a hunch, and this premonition was not accurate, and he didn't know.

But now Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi are saying that there will be a big event in the imperial court in the near future, could it be that Zong Ai is going to have an accident? Or is it someone else?

Zhao Junsheng didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked: "The two of you may have calculated what will happen to the imperial court?" ”

Kou Qianzhi shook his head: "The prince thinks too highly of the two of us, we can only divination, but we are not living immortals, how can we calculate what will happen?" However, his subordinates suggested that the prince must end the war in Goguryi as soon as possible, so that he could put his energy back to Youzhou so that he could deal with emergencies in the imperial court at any time! ”

Zhao Junsheng listened to this suggestion and felt that it was true, yes, his foundation is in Youzhou, and the war in Goguryi can be suspended or directly withdrawn, but if something goes wrong in Youzhou, his foundation will be gone, just like Ping without roots.

Will the war on the Korean Peninsula be ended within a month? Zhao Junsheng didn't dare to guarantee it, but as long as he could defeat Jiang Heng's army across the river in one fell swoop, there would be great hope!

At dawn in the early morning of the next day, it was not yet light, but the army of Jiangbei had already gathered on the riverside, and the ships had already been prepared, and the Gao Guli army on the opposite side had obviously also sensed the move of the Youzhou army, and most of the troops were deployed on the bank of the south of the Yangtze River.

The Goguryi army had already dug many trenches on the banks of the river, built a large number of arrow towers, and placed horses at key passages to prevent the Youzhou army from sending cavalry ashore to kill them.

In the large clearing behind the river bank, a large number of Goguryi soldiers will gather and line up in a defensive formation.

In the tent in the camp of Goguryi, the commander of Goguryi, Jiang Heng, walked around the tent with the hilt of his sword, his expression a little anxious.

"General, the lookout post observed that there seemed to be some movement on the other side of the river, and the last general and others guessed that the Wei army was only afraid that it was about to cross the river to attack, did the general go to sit in the military formation?" The lieutenant general walked in to report when he was lucky.

"I know!" Jiang Heng stopped and asked, "Isn't there any news from the water division yet?" ”

Gai Yun said, "Not yet! The general doesn't have to worry, the sea is stormy, and it is normal to delay for a day or two, and his subordinates think that no news is good news, and if something happens, there should have been news a long time ago! ”

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's right, no news is the best news, it's that I'm too worried!" Let's go to the bank of the river to defend against the enemy! ”

"Yes!"

The two walked out, and Jiang Heng rode his horse and asked as he walked towards the river bank: "Are there any signs of attack on the various defensive sites along the coast?" ”

"There's no news on that yet!"

Jiangbei.

There was not only one place for Zhao Junsheng's army to cross the river, and the place where the army of Goguryi was detected was the riverside of the domestic city, and the attack on the river crossing here was carried out by the Goguryi army under the command of Wen and Qi.

The No. 2 crossing site is twenty-two miles upstream from the section of the domestic city river, which is commanded by Chang Kun, who has 15,000 men and horses, 5,000 men and horses are responsible for crossing the river to attack the defense of the river bank, and the remaining 10,000 people are all armed with bows and crossbows on the boat.

Zhao Junsheng stood by the river on horseback with the hilt of the knife and quietly looked at the sporadic lights on the other side of the river, Mao Xiuzhi walked over from the side and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, the time has come!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and gave an order to the herald: "Send a signal to Wen Qi and order him to lead the troops to attack!" ”

"Yes!"

Two torches were lit on the shore, and then kept swinging and waving, Wen Qi, who was already standing at the bow of the boat, saw the signal, and sighed silently in his heart, he couldn't help but mourn for Goguryi, the king of Goguryi, Gao Lian was originally a promising king, and Gao Guli developed very quickly under his leadership, and the territory expanded greatly in the past ten years, forming an absolute suppressive advantage over Baekje and Silla in the south, as long as it took time, he would definitely be able to occupy the entire peninsula, but unfortunately Gao Lian provoked Wei.

Wen Qi pulled out his sword and pointed forward: "Open the boat, attack!" ”

A torch on the flagship waved twelve times in a row, and all the large and small ships began to move, the oarsmen rowed hard against the carpenters, and the liba in the lower cabin stared hard at the wheeled oars, and the large and small ships sailed quickly towards the south bank of the river.

At this time, the sky was already shining, and the soldiers of the Youzhou Army standing on the shore could see many ships leaving the shore and rushing to the opposite side.

Li Yuande hugged his fists at Zhao Junsheng and said: "Lord Wang, the army has attacked, how will our Youzhou army act?" Going to location three? ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and waved his hand: "No, pass the order, order my Youzhou Army infantry to prepare to board the ship, and let Gao Xu come to see me!" ”

Previously, Gao Xu had rushed to the domestic city with 5,000 men and horses, and at this time, Zhao Junsheng had more than 12,000 men and horses from the Youzhou Army Headquarters in his hands, and in addition to the 5,000 cavalry, there were still 7,000 infantry available.

"The last general, Gao Xu, came to report, and the prince showed it!" Gao Xu hit the horse and ran over to hug his fist to report.

Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Give you 3,000 people, after the first wave of attacks by the Goguryi army, your 3,000 people will follow by boat, no matter how well the Goguryi army fights, your troops will sail and attack after they land, and this general will lead the remaining 4,000 people to provide long-range support with a large number of bows and crossbows, so as to clear some resistance for your army's beach-grabbing landing!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Two hundred ships have been loaded with more than 5,000 Goguryi troops sailing to the center of the river, Wen Qi looked up at the sky, the sky is already a little bright, it only takes a cup of tea to reach the opposite bank, but during this time the sky will become brighter, and the Goguryi defenders on the opposite side will not be invisible.

Wen Qi made a decision, "Order, beat the drum, order the whole army to speed up the rowing, and give General Ben a blow to rush to the other side of the river!" ”

"Yes!"

"Knock ······" The sound of war drums came to mind fiercely.

Wen Qi gave another order, "Order all soldiers to keep their shields above their heads to defend against possible arrow attacks on the other side!" ”

Less than two minutes after the order was given, there was a continuous whooshing sound from across the river, and a large number of arrows were fired from the other side of the river at the boats on the river.

Arrows were placed on the hull of the ship and on the shields above the heads of the generals, and very few of the soldiers were shot.

Arrows rained down, and everyone braved the rain of arrows with their shields on their heads, and the boatmen and Liba rowed faster.

Closer, closer, the ship closer and closer to the shore.

The defensive attack on the shore began to exert its power, and the crossbow arrows deployed by the Goguryi people were fired, one by one, some of them were shot into the water, some were shot at the boat, and some of them penetrated the bodies of several soldiers in a row, and some even shot directly through the cabin, causing the hull to begin to leak.

"Bang Bang Bang ······" With a whoosh, the boat washed to the shore.

"Rush ashore for me, kill—" Wen Qi pointed at the shore with his sword in his hand, and roared.

Countless Goguryi soldiers jumped ashore with weapons and rushed towards the trenches, "swishing ······" The arrows kept coming, and in the process of charging, some people kept falling from the arrows, and some people rushed forward quickly with their shields and weapons.

"Kill-" The Gao Guli soldiers who defended the trenches rushed out of the trenches under the leadership of the leading officer and fought with the surrendered troops, and the bloody battle officially began when they landed on the beach.

The river beach was soon covered with corpses, the sand was red with blood, and all sorts of weapons and arrows were stuck in the streaks.

In order to guard against the attack of the Wei army, the Goguryi people deployed troops at many river crossing points along the river, resulting in the defensive forces here were not particularly sufficient, especially the troops deployed in the trenches were far inferior to the attacking surrender troops.

There were 5,000 men and horses, and these people quickly completed the landing, rushing to the river beach with an absolutely superior force and killing the defending Goguryi and retreating again and again.

The three trench lines on the river beach were captured one after another, and a small number of Goguryi troops would flee in the direction of the military formation on the flat ground.
