Chapter 121: Flooding the Seventh Army

The cavalry of the little prince Yelu Huke did come and go like the wind, along the border of Long'an Mansion, like a sharp knife, quietly touched Chengdu, the heart of Sichuan, Rao is sentry of the vanguard battalion, and did not find this rapid march.

It's just that the Liao army, which is not very familiar with this terrain, is on the edge of Long'an Mansion, and is blocked by the Qingchuan River.

All the way down to find the mouth of the river crossing, the speed slowed down, and it was delayed for a long time, that is, at this time, it was discovered by the sentinel sent out by Meng Qi.

Zheng Laosan and his entourage were originally six people, and they were all fine a few days ago, so today they thought that they would be done with a reasonable investigation, but they knew that they would directly take a picture with Yelu Xiuke's deputy general Tuoba Yin!

Liao people are good at riding and shooting, naturally it is not a waste of fame, if it weren't for Zheng Laosan's agility, he would have worked hard immediately,

Meng Qi may have been discussing with the two pro-soldiers whether Gao Yingshu or Liu Siyi was good-looking, but he was surrounded by the Liao.

It was also thanks to the protection of heaven that the Qingchuan River, which had entered the winter, suddenly rose to the water, so that Yelu Xiuke rushed along the river to the place where Meng Qi was originally stationed, so that he could wade across the river.

However, Meng Laosan undoubtedly also brought a signal to this ghostly Liao army that suddenly appeared, you have been exposed!

The cavalry of the two Liao people cautiously flowed into the Qingchuan River,

The rising water level flooded the horse's belly until the horsemen's harness under their buttocks was overflowing with water, and they could descend to the middle of the deepest river.

When the two reached the other side, they made a safe gesture towards Jerusuk,

Jerusuk nodded,

"Cross the river!"

More than 10,000 people and horses slowly walked into the Qingchuan River, which was still gentle, along the river that had just been explored.

"How far have we gone now?"

Yelu Xiuke looked at the army crossing the river and asked Tuoba Yin with a frown.

Tuoba Yin took out the map in his arms, looked at it himself, and replied: "This is the nearest river crossing point, now we are about three hundred miles away from Long'an Mansion, after crossing the river, we have to insert it in the southwest direction, cross a Huling fortress, and then go straight to Chengdu from the main road." ”

"Have you sent someone to investigate over there at Fox Ridge Fortress?"

Tuoba Yin nodded, "No problem, only a few Han officers and soldiers are guarding there, and the terrain of this fortress is very strange, as long as we take Fox Ridge in one go, we can bypass the fortress without attacking it." ”

"Good!"

At present, except for this Qingchuan River, Yelu Xiuke feels that everything is under control,

"When we appear in Chengdu like a divine soldier, I'm afraid that the Han people, an ancient city that has been comfortable for hundreds of years, will wake up from a big dream, hahaha."

suddenly

Jerehuk felt his body shake a little,

He subconsciously reined in the reins of the horse, and the white dragon horse under his crotch that followed him in the southern and northern wars was personally picked up by him from the Western Regions, and he had never been afraid to fight, what was wrong?

"Boom~"

A tremor of greater magnitude struck again, and Jeruxiuke realized that it was not the horse under his crotch that was shaking, but the earth under his feet.

"Boom Rumble Rumble ~"

The feeling of shaking became stronger and stronger, and he felt that the stones on the ground were like soybean grains on the drum surface, and they were jumped out of the turf, and the white dragon horse under his seat was also a little unsteady on its feet, and its hooves were moving.

"Water !!"

It wasn't until one of the horsemen in the river, pointing hysterically in the direction of the west, that Jerushuk noticed the fear from upstream!

The rushing river was like a raging dragon, wrapped in mud and sand, showing his blue and vicious fangs to the Liao cavalry who were crossing the river, and the whistling waves once again showed the fury of nature to the small human beings.

The cavalry in the river was already frightened, and hurriedly urged the horses that sat down and squeezed towards the banks of the Qingchuan River.

But

More than 10,000 people are piled up by the river waiting to cross the river, and there are hundreds of people in the middle of the river, plus the river is not shallow, and the action is slow, where is there room to move!

This ferocious dragon, wielding its foaming claws, kept magnifying in Jeluxiuk's eyes, and whether you were a victorious general or a strategist with no last resort, you would have no choice but to watch the hordes of men and horses being swallowed up by the water.........

.....................

After An Yi received the news of the Liao people's westward advance sent by Meng Qi, he ordered all the horses of the three battalions under his command to retreat to the south bank of the Qingchuan River, stop searching for traces of the Wugu Sect in the east and west directions, and at the same time sent someone to send a copy to Zeng Ziren on the other side of the river.

Zeng Ziren hated An Yi no matter how earnest, he was not a blind man, and he could see the corpses and weapons and horse harness of the Liao people floating down the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River, so he took more than 6,000 people from Long'an Mansion to cross the Qingchuan River to the west, and the two of Anyi were one west and one east, guarding the riverbank.

It's just that the Five Grains Sect is not so lucky,

Wu Yi, the newly appointed hall master of Ning Fashen and Zhang Yu's successor, was taking the thirteen or four thousand men and horses under Zhang Yu's original command to drive in the direction of the Qingchuan River, following Yelu Xiuke, who came from the west, and bumped into each other face to face.

Yelu Xiuke was thinking about Chengdu in front of him, and was coldly flooded by Meng Qi to flood the Seventh Army.

Although the flood did not cause much casualties for them, the sudden increase in the amount of water washed away the river they wanted to cross, so that they had to continue along the Qingchuan River to the east, looking for a crossing point again.

Yelu Xiuke was already holding back a fire in his heart, seeing Wu Yi with a group of coarse cloth clothes and grass robbers with him here to show off his might, no matter what official army or not, as long as it is Han, it is his punching bag,

Order

Tuoba Yin took the Liao iron cavalry under his command, and fought with the men and horses of the Wugu Sect on the north bank of the Qingchuan River.

On the lookout platform in the comfortable camp, looking at the situation of the fighting on the other side of the river, he sighed: "This Liao people are really the division of a hundred battles, and Rao is such a head-to-head confrontation with the Wugu Sect, and it may not be able to have such an overwhelming situation." ”

"Yes, we have fought with the Wugu Sect before, and our combat power is indeed good, especially that heavy cavalry, and I have a deep memory."

Pei Zhenfeng, who was behind him, continued his words.

Jiang Yun nodded and agreed: "I think, even if the Wugu Sect brings out that heavy cavalry, it may not be able to defeat this Liao army, Brother Zhenfeng, if you look carefully, their individual combat ability is very strong, and it usually takes three or five Wugu Sect members to pull them off their horses." ”

An Yi remembered Jiang Ruyue's previous conversation with herself, she had always heard of the courage of the Liao people, but she had never really seen it, and now that she saw it, she knew why Jiang Ruyue didn't have too much hope for the 500,000 army of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, counting the more than 10,000 people in the regimental training camp under An Yi's hands, there are more than 10,000 people who are equipped and have no combat experience, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is elite in Sichuan.

An Yi thought like this, sighed and said: "I only know now, why we are losing and retreating in the northwest, losing Gansu Town, losing Lintao Mansion and retreating to Lanzhou, in the face of such an army, the Daxia official army that has been quiet for many years, which general still has the courage to fight?" ”

"Your Excellency!"

Before Anyi's words fell, a herald climbed up from under the lookout, and his hands were lower than a letter.

"All the commanders have orders!"

He took the order letter from the herald's hand, opened it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he sneered,

In the end, An Yi changed hands and handed the letter to Jiang Yun,

"Look at it, this little young master is looking for trouble again."

Pei Zhenfeng put his head next to Jiang Yun, carefully looked at the text on the order, and said with a frown: "My lord, this Zeng Ziren wants us to cooperate with him in attacking the Liao army, I'm afraid now is not the best time, right?" ”

"I'm not going at any time!"

An Yi pointed to the battlefield on the other side of the Qingchuan River, where white and yellow meet, and said: "This Liao army has been fighting until now, and I haven't seen Yelu's tiger head banner, obviously it hasn't been completely pressed, isn't it a trap to cross the river now?" ”

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, and responded: "Isn't it good that we are completely indifferent like this, or I let Jin Mingyin be on the bank of the river and use firearms to support, which can be regarded as a response." ”

An Yi thought for a while, then nodded, and said angrily: "This Zeng Ziren, he has never forgotten the big hat of his commander, and if he doesn't command the commander to make some moths for a while, he will be uncomfortable, if it weren't for the news I gave him, it would be Zeng Ziren who is playing on the opposite side now." ”

Then he turned around and instructed Jiang Yundao: "You tell Jin Mingyin, don't be abrupt and just have a good time, only allow him to use the fire gun, and someone will fall when the gun sounds, save the projectile, I'm afraid that the opponent this time is not as simple as the Wugu Sect." ”

"I understand!"

Jiang Yun arched his hand towards comfort and climbed down from the lookout.

Pei Zhenfeng, who was behind him, said with some concern: "My lord, this Zeng Ziren won't rush out with his own people, right?" ”

Pei Zhenfeng's words made An Yi feel shocked,

But soon he was relieved, and looked at Zeng Ziren's camp in the west with disdain,

"No, how can Zeng Ziren have the courage to cross the river and camp in less than half a day, cowardly."

An Yi said this, Pei Zhenfeng also nodded in agreement,

But

He and Pei Zhenfeng had not had a stick of incense on the lookout, and the actions of the camp in the west gave them a big surprise.

I saw that the door of the camp in the west was wide open, and a general wearing Mingguang armor and holding a long knife in his hand led the team, with more than 2,000 cavalry, rushed out of the camp gate and slowly waded into the Qingchuan River.

The Qingchuan River on their side is much shallower than where Meng Qi was before, but when he walks into the river, he can still submerge the horse's belly, and he must walk slowly before he can cross it on horseback.

After all the horses and horses crossed the Qingchuan River and completed the assembly, I saw the leader of the general from a distance raising the long knife in his hand, and then swung it heavily towards the rear of the Liao army!

The cavalry of these two thousand people, like a swept gray whirlwind, blew the loess on the ground, from the rear of the Liao, joined the yellow and white war group.

Jeruxiuke stood on a high slope not far from the battlefield, quietly observing the form, as An Yi expected, he had more than 3,000 reserves in his hands, and it was the hand of the officer on the other side of the river that guarded against it.

But he was also unlucky enough, he was going to make a surprise attack, but he didn't even touch the side of the official army, but he was mixed up with people who didn't know what it was.

"Mr. Xu, do you know the situation on the other side?"

Yelu Xiuke turned around and asked an old man in Hanfu and white hair on the white horse behind him, this old man was none other than Xu Xiaoyuan, the governor of Long'an Mansion,

Speaking of which, this old man Xu is also a bit back, originally responsible for escorting the last batch of grain and grass to the officers and soldiers of Long'an Mansion, and then he met Yelu Xiuke who fell from the sky just after leaving the boundary of Long'an Mansion.

Jeruhuke accepted this gift from the witch god with great joy and pleasure, and took the old man into the army by the way.

What kind of scholar's temperament, the backbone of an official, turning over the cold steel knife to the neck, either the water is too cold or the beam is too high, it's all nonsense! Or life is the most important!

In line with this principle, Xu Fucheng accepted the little prince's invitation to surrender very sincerely.

"Back to the general's words, these yellow-clothed bandits are the bandits of the Five Grain Sect, most of them are homeless people, rabble. The officers and troops on the opposite side were the green battalions of Long'an Mansion and Chengdu Prefecture respectively, which were commanded by Zeng Ziren, the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Command. ”

Xu Xiaoyuan replied respectfully.

While he was talking, a whistle rode a flying horse to report,

"Your Highness, the outpost has come to report that there are enemy troops waiting for an opportunity to cross the river to support, please ask if it needs to be stopped."

And Jeretheus put his hand to his eyes, and looked far off, and behold, out of the great camp on the west side, came a troop of horsemen, about two thousand.

With some evil smiles in his ice-blue eyes, he waved his hand at the sentry and commanded, "Tell everyone, get ready for battle, and wait for my orders, let them come as much as I want!" ”
