Chapter 263: The Broken Bridge

The south bank of the Susui River

Jin Mingyin had already made preparations early in accordance with An Yi's order, and the two ferries and a stone bridge were completed so quickly, mainly due to the fact that Jiang Yun had brought a firearms battalion before, which was still called the Zhongjun camp at that time, and part of the fire left when he was stationed in Qingcheng. medicine

With these fires. The medicine was mixed with the fire oil in the army, and the front of the two ferries of Feilingdu and Longmendu, together with the ferries and wharves, were all burned and blown up, and it was really like An Yi said, and now whoever wants to cross the Sushui River can't even find a leaf.

For the stone bridge at the south gate of Lanzhou City, if you want to rely on fire. The medicine was blown up, Jin Mingyin was an expert, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that it was the fire that could be collected in the entire Great Xia Dynasty army. If you use all the medicines, I'm afraid it's not powerful enough.

And if it is just in the form of intercepting barricades, dry firewood is erected on the stone bridge, and oil is poured on it. Medicine, it can release a big fire, but how can the people and horses withdrawn from the Xia army cross the bridge in this way?

Thousands of troops and horses step on it, no matter how much oil you sprinkle, it is estimated that it will be a clean step for you.

Of course, although Jin Mingyin reacted a little slower sometimes, but his brain was still very useful in general, he was thinking about the stone bridge from the beginning when he went to Qingcheng to prepare for the two easier ferries first, until he saw a few ferries in front of the ferry, which were still relatively decent.

He immediately ordered that all the ferries at the ferry, which were a little larger and looked like them, should be pulled to the side of the stone bridge.

In this way, the top of the stone bridge does look like a smooth road at first glance, and there is no problem with the soldiers and horses passing through Shaanxi and Shu, but the mysteries are on the ferries on both sides of the bridge.

There are different sails and oars, but they are all filled with barrels of fire. medicine and oil, and then tied to both sides of the bridge with iron ropes,

At that time, there is no problem with how the Xia army in the city lived, and once the Xia army and horses were finished, only one fire gun was needed to make this stone bridge rise up a large fire wall dozens of zhang high. The bridge of medicine rushes,

According to Jin Mingyin's estimate, the fire caused by these fire oil is not easy to extinguish with water, so there is no problem with this thing being enough to last for most of the day.

After all the things were placed, Jin Mingyin took the three hundred cavalry behind him and quietly stopped by the bridge, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Of course, Jin Mingyin received a comfortable message from Gao Ciyi sent to him, and he expected that before dawn, he could almost see the shadow of the army.

But

Things were all unexpected after all, and until Jin Mingyin looked at the lazy golden light in the sky and had begun to dispel the darkness on the earth, he hadn't seen the shadow of half of Xia Jun.

"General, it's almost dawn, presumably the soldiers and horses in Lanzhou City should be in some trouble."

The young general beside him said that Jin Mingyin's heart was also tightly twisted into a twist, pacing on the shore again and again, and his eyes did not fall for a moment and looked towards the quiet north.

It looks like it's about to dawn, and there's not even a messenger, although it's said that the comfort order is so, but it's not like no one has come over and he has lit the bridge, right?

"Do you want to send someone to take a look, what's going on, there's no one to even say anything."

Jin Mingyin muttered to himself, and was still thinking about whether to send two cavalry to the south gate to see what was going on, when the young general next to him suddenly pointed to the distance and said with a happy face: "General, look!" It's our people! ”

Jin Mingyin hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, although the sky in the north was still dark, but he still recognized at a glance the leader of the horse with a spear, a silver-scaled leaf armor,

"It's Zhao Lingfeng! It's our people! ”

But Jin Mingyin was also very excited to see Xia Jun, and hurriedly commanded the men and horses behind him to get out of the way and let them cross the bridge.

After receiving the order to "go home" comfortably, the officers and soldiers of the Chengdu Guard, who had been at the forefront, were naturally the first to walk in the front, and they were also pitiful for these men in Sichuan, who fought hard and fought hard, and when the two guards were originally brought out by the old Shu King, they were a small 50,000 men and horses, and now they look at it roughly, I am afraid that even 20,000 are hanging, and the guerrilla general Zhao Lingfeng himself is covered in colors, and I don't know how many injuries he has suffered.

followed by soldiers and horses in Shaanxi and Shu,

Because this wave of people is the main force of the Xia army, and the number of people is also the largest, Jiang Shang and Liao Ying know that if Hula pulls out in one go, it will definitely be chaotic, so the front and back can be divided into battalions as units, and a distance can be separated.

The front is basically carried by a few newly promoted young generals under Jiang Shang's hands, Zhao Shuang is sandwiched in the middle, behind are Jiang Shang and Liao Ying, two old guys pressing the formation, and then Jiang Yun's firearms battalion that finally withdrew.

No matter how cruel the previous fight was, these soldiers also knew that after crossing this stone bridge, even if it was temporarily safe,

This 100,000 men and horses, being carried by a few generals is really not too chaotic, but none of the people on this body and face are clean, all of them are a yard of blood red.

Some of the soldiers rushed to the side of the Sushui River to wash their blood-stained eyes, and some simply collapsed on the yellow earth.

To be honest, just like An Yi said, Xia Jun has been able to hold on until now, all with this breath of hanging, until everyone crosses the bridge, this breath can be regarded as relaxed, at this time, if you don't need to come behind again, transfer Guo Muer's three thousand dragon horses, enough to break this small army of 100,000,

Why?

There's no morale anymore.

So An Yi said at the time that when he was in Lanzhou City, if Liao Ying closed the city gate and took off this breath, he would really never be able to get out again.

Jiang Shang and Liao Ying, who wrapped these Jiang Shang and Liao Ying, retreated all the way under the rain of arrows, and they were all out of breath, although they did not collapse on the ground because of the reluctant image of the soldiers, they were also holding on to the horse's back, panting heavily.

However, Jin Mingyin didn't see a comfortable shadow until the end, after Jiang Yun took the firearms battalion and followed some stragglers behind him to cross the bridge!

He was a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly went to Jiang Shang to ask,

As a result, Jiang Shang was also confused, how did he know where An Yi went? During the whole campaign, I didn't see anyone else just receiving his military orders,

However, when he asked Jin Mingyin to ask, his heart was also pinched, and he couldn't take any breath, so he took Jin Mingyin to find Jiang Yun who followed him at the end.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Yun's expression was not much different from Jiang Shang's,

"When I finally left, my uncle said that he would go to the city and bring back the 2,000 people who had set up the defensive line, and I remember that he followed behind!"

I feel that comfort is following behind, but what about people?

These three people all couldn't understand the question mark on their faces, and they were asking each other word by word, so that An Xin, who came out of the carriage next to him, heard it clearly,

An Xin originally helped Li Yuanju to take a silk handkerchief to the river to wash up, but these people were all loud, Rao was squatting by the river, and the turbulent water could not cover their voices.

Hearing these words, An Xin was a blank in her mind, and she didn't want the silk handkerchief in her hand, so she hurriedly grabbed her skirt and ran over, and asked urgently with a smiling face full of worry: "What's wrong?" My brother ...... Hasn't my brother come out yet? ”

"Brother Yi, he hasn't come here yet! He ......"

"Ahem!"

didn't wait for Jin Mingyin to finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Shang on the side, and kept glancing at him, and said in his heart, Why are you the kid the most unguarded,

However, Jiang Yun understood, and hurriedly comforted An Xin with a smile: "It's okay Xin'er, Uncle just fell a little behind, it's okay, he still has 2,000 people in his hands." ”

Jiang Yun is the old subordinate of that grandfather, according to reason, An Yi's two siblings have to call him an uncle, so when he calls An Xin cordial, he always calls Xin'er.

It's just that this An Xin is so clever that even Gao Ciyi can go around it, where can she hide it?

"You talk nonsense, what about my brother? Where's my brother? I saw him go to the city before, he must have been trapped in it! ”

An Xin was crying when she spoke, she grabbed Jin Mingyin with one hand and shook Jiang Yun with the other, "Uncle Jiang, Mingyin, you have to think of a way!" My brother definitely didn't come out! ”

Before the two of them could answer, the cavalry general brought by Jin Mingyin's men on the side came over, and asked aloud with a very blank voice: "General, it's dawn, do you want to break the bridge!" ”

"Break the fart!"

Jin Mingyin held his sister Xin'er's hand in one hand, and turned his head and ordered: "Tell everyone, gather and get on the horse!" Now come with me and fight back to the other side! ”

The young general who said it was confused, "Now...... Right now? ”

Jin Mingyin hurriedly shook his face: "Yes!" Right now! Can't get it? ”

"Yes!"

On the contrary, Jiang Shang beside him looked towards the night that had returned to calm in the north, stretched out his hand to stop Jin Mingyin and said: "You stay here, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Liao people, and your three hundred people will be sent to death if they go." I'll go, I'm a small target, and I can avoid it if I run. ”

After speaking, Jiang Shang turned around and let his soldiers lead his war horse, picked up the bright silver spear, and prepared to leap across the bridge.

That's true, among the few of them, Gao Ciyi is not there, it must be Jiang Shang who is the most suitable, as long as he doesn't touch Guo Muer, basically no one can stop this veteran.

However, Ji people have their own natural appearance, not to mention that there is a Gao Ciyi sitting in front of them......

"That'...... There's someone there! ”

The young general beside him finally said something he liked, and several people, together with An Xin, looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a war horse galloping towards this side, and there were two people sitting,

An Xin recognized the person at a glance from afar, the one in front of him was carrying a silver spear upside down, and the reins in one hand, that handsome face was not Gao Ciyi or who it was? The plain white robe behind him fluttered with the wind of the hunting night, which was naturally comfortable.

"Brother!"

An Xin's shout brought out the tears in her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was excited or happy, so she was about to rush across the bridge with the corner of her skirt.

You must know that this horse can be said to be the two most important men in her life in addition to Old Man An Zhiyuan.

merely

An Xin had just run out without two steps, and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

She saw An Yi and Gao Ciyi riding behind a war horse, and it was a black cavalry that suddenly rushed out of the night, and Jin Mingyin could see it from the battle flag of the cavalry hunting and hunting,

"It's Liao!"

Jiang Shang and Jiang Yun next to him shouted out almost in unison!

As the golden yellow of the sky gradually sprinkled the land, several people clearly saw that behind the two of them was a tall Khitan veteran, with a white beard floating in the gale, and he couldn't hide his unangry and self-righteous aura.

Coupled with a petite woman next to her with a sunset red cloud armor, the two of them followed closely behind An Yi and Gao Ciyi's war horses with more than 10,000 cavalry.........
