Chapter 0837: Flame Cross River

It's night.

The stars were shining, and the moonlight was sprinkled all over the river, sparkling.

The moon shadows on the lake are stacked, and it seems that the fairy in the middle of the moon is dancing in the shadow of the water.

However, such a quiet and beautiful scenery is now hidden by the moving human heads.

250,000 soldiers and horses crossed the river all night, and the scene was very spectacular.

It stretches for dozens of miles along the river.

The fishing boats in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns are all gathered together.

Even so, it was still not enough to supply 250,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river.

Since the river was not turbulent, Yang Ning finally decided that some of the archers, crossbowmen, shield soldiers, and horse soldiers would cross the river by boat, and a large number of foot soldiers would directly flow through the water.

The scouts who rowed across the other side of the river in advance would drag a rope across the river when they passed.

The foot soldiers only needed to hang their belts on iron ropes, and they could easily cross the river.

This time, the soldiers and horses led by Yang Ning, except for some of them who are northerners and are not good at wading, most of the remaining soldiers and horses are from Jiangning Mansion.

The water system of Jiangning Mansion is complicated, and before the soldiers enlisted in the army, most of them were begging for a living on the water, so the water is good.

Thousands of iron cables span the river, and the scene is very spectacular.

Yang Ning stood by the river, looking at such a huge scene, and his heart was full of pride.

Under the expectant gaze of all the soldiers, Yang Ning waved his hand.

"Cross the river!"

Present.

Tens of thousands of soldiers threw themselves into the water and crossed the river along the iron cable, and a small number of them took ferries to the other side of the river.

In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 soldiers arrived on the other side of the river.

Behind them, there was still a steady stream of soldiers coming.

Ten thousand......

20,000 ......

Thirty thousand......

……

Lakh......

There were more and more Song soldiers crossing the river.

Lu Duan, who had been hiding in the distance and had been watching the Song army crossing the river, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Yang Er beside him in a hesitant whisper, "Second general...... Isn't it almost ......?"

Yang Er hid in a bush, looked at the growing number of Song troops by the river in the distance, and whispered to Lu Duan: "It's not enough...... The Song army crossed the river in such a hurry that we did not have time to prepare.

If I had been given a few more days, I would have been able to build a dam on the river and flood the three armies.

Now that there is no time to build a dam, and these Song troops have to be defeated in one fell swoop, they can only let more people come. ”

Yang Er subconsciously clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Let him cross the river with 150,000 people, and then make another difficulty, see if Yang Ning is Gu Tou or Gu ......"

Lu Duan nodded slowly, and subconsciously reminded: "Second General, you are sure to defeat the 150,000 Song army that crossed the river......

Yang San, who was lying in the grass with the scouts on the side, seemed to see the concerns in Lu Duan's heart, and he chuckled: "Brother Lu, don't worry, our brothers are ready, and they will not come back." ”

After a pause, Yang San said again: "However, our brother is not a murderer, it is impossible to kill all these 150,000 people, and when the time comes, we will have to rely on Brother Lu to lobby them." Let them not hold on.

If they really don't surrender, then we will have to deal with it hard.

It's all Han men, and I don't want the situation to really come to that point. ”

Lu Duan nodded heavily and promised: "Once the Song army is defeated, Lu will definitely rush to the Song army in person and say surrender to them." The benevolent hearts of the second and third generals, Lu must convey them to them. ”

While they were talking, another 30,000 Song troops crossed the river.

Yang Er saw that it was almost over, hurriedly turned around, squatted on the ground, and whispered to the herald: "Hurry up and inform the brothers upstream, you can do it." ”

turned around and said to Yang San: "Once we make trouble, the Song army will inevitably be in a mess." You quickly go and command the brothers who are waiting three miles away, as long as the trouble begins here, you will lead the brothers to kill them, and subdue the 150,000 Song army with lightning speed. ”

"Understood."

Yang Er, Yang San and his party moved quickly.

And the Song army, who was crossing the river, did not know that he was in danger.

Now.

Yang Ning stood on a fishing boat, put his hands behind his back, tilted his head, and said proudly: "I'm afraid that the Yang family's thief army still doesn't know that we have crossed the river unconsciously...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Standing behind Yang Ning, the partial general who stood down heard the words, and said with a hippie smile: "My lord is far-sighted and wise, how can he be compared to the Yang family's thief army?" I'm afraid that all the thieves in the army combined are not as powerful as adults alone. ”

When Yang Ning heard this, his heart was as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit, but his face was indifferent, and he said indifferently: "I can't say that, although the thief army is unbearable, there are still one or two talents."

For example, Lu Duan, who joined the army in the thief army, is a very good talent.

Although I was bewitched by thieves and betrayed my Great Song Dynasty.

But when he was in my Great Song Dynasty before, he still had some weight.

You go and give orders, and after you have defeated the thief army, catch this person and send him to the official first.

The official should train him well to see if he has any plans to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

If not, give him a decent way to die. ”

The general immediately said respectfully: "I understand ...... lowly duty."

The fishing boat rippled and slowly rowed into the center of the river.

Jiang Chao, who also followed the iron rope to Jiangxin, did not come to the heart of the heart, and the long-lost sense of danger hit his heart.

He wanted to raise his hand and pat the icy river water, sober himself up, and think carefully about where the danger came from.

But when he raised his hand, he was stunned.

"Is this oil?"

The touch on his hand, which was obviously different from water, and the pungent taste, made Jiang Chao easily judge what was mixed into the water.

It's just that how can there be oil in the water?

As more and more oil mixed into the water, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger.

Jiang Chao's face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Run!" There is an ambush! ”

On the river.

Jiang Chao is far more than a smart person.

When Jiang Chao's shouting appeared, there were also shouts in other places.

on fishing boats.

Yang Ning listened to the sound of shouting around, subconsciously frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "Bastard thing, didn't you order that you are not allowed to make a sound when crossing the river?" ”

The general heard those shouts clearly, he leaned to Yang Ning's side, and reminded in a low voice: "Listen to their shouts, it seems that there is an ambush?" ”

Yang Ning smiled when he heard this.

The smile was full of sarcasm, "There is an ambush, how can there be an ambush in the water?" Can a thief still turn into a fish and hide in the water? ”

Even if Yang Ning didn't know anything about military affairs, he knew that there was no way to ambush in this water.

Even if there are a few people with good water quality, they can hide in the water and create obstacles for them to cross the river, it is not enough to affect the overall situation.

The ridicule in Yang Ning's heart seemed to be felt by Jiang Chao in the water.

He also realized that he might not have been articulating.

Because after he shouted that there was an ambush, not too many people reacted.

Immediately, Jiang Chao immediately changed his rhetoric and shouted loudly: "There is oil in the water, fierce fire oil!" ”

This shout.

Jiang Chao used all his strength, so even Yang Ning, who was far away, could hear clearly.

Yang Ning's face immediately changed, he threw himself to the side of the boat, grabbed a handful of water with his hand, felt the oil stains hanging on his hands, and his face changed greatly.

"Quick! Pass the order! Let the rear team immediately withdraw to the river bank, and the front team quickly cross the river. ”

However.

It's all late.

Just as his voice fell.

Not far upstream, a fiery dragon suddenly rose.

The fire dragon swallowed the entire river in an instant, and then went down the river.

It's so fast, it's appalling.

In the blink of an eye, it spread for miles.

Some unknown Song soldiers also realized their dangerous situation at this moment.

One by one, they shouted loudly and rushed frantically to the other side of the river.

Some people even didn't bother to climb the iron cable, so they plunged directly into the water and swam to the other side of the river.

Yang Ning stood at the head of the bed and screamed heartbreakingly.

"Run! Come on! ”

Although he is not a qualified general or a qualified official, he still has a certain conscience.

At the first moment of danger, the lives of the soldiers were thought of.

The partial general rushed forward and pulled Yang Ning to find a way to hide.

But Yang Ning still didn't care about it, and still stood on the bow of the boat with a heart-rending shout.

"Whew~"

A river breeze blows.

fueled the momentum of the flames.

The speed of the flames was a few points faster.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where the soldiers of the Song army crossed the river.

"Ah~"

The flames engulfed the Song soldiers who were struggling in the water in an instant, covering the entire surface of the river.

The soldiers of the Song army fell into the river in a wail.

There are those who are familiar with the nature of the water, and they plunge headlong into the water, trying to avoid this fire on the water.

But.

After all, they are a little inferior to Yang Er's heart.

In order to defeat the Song army.

Yang Er has gathered almost half of the fierce fire oil in the army, and he has not stopped from the beginning of pouring oil to the present.

They either suffocated underwater, or they came out and were burned to death, and there was nothing else they could do.

"Lu Duan! I've fallen for your tricks! ”

Yang Ning was completely awake at this moment, and he also realized that his problem was there.

Immediately screamed in grief on the bow of the ship.

Seeing the flames devouring the lives of the Song soldiers, he felt as if he had sinned.

Compared with the shameless Hou Renbao in the past, Yang Ning is somewhat cheeky.

Although he is conceited, proud, and even a little arrogant.

But he never shirked his responsibilities.

"My lord, if you don't run, it's too late. The fire is going to burn to the ship! ”

The general hurriedly shouted from the side.

Yang Ning turned a deaf ear, he sat on the bow of the boat, staring at the flames on the water stupidly, tears in his eyes.

"It's me! I'm the one who hurt you! I'm the one who hurt you! ”

The general couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "My lord, it's useless to say these things now, it's better to run for your life......

"Running for your life?"

Yang Ning was full of tears, crying and laughing: "How can I still be qualified to run for my life, because I insisted on going my own way and killed so many soldiers, and my sin is unforgivable." I should give them their lives......"

"I'll pay for your life!"

Yang Ning roared and jumped into the river.

"Your Excellency!"

The general hurriedly pulled, but did not pull.

Seeing Yang Ning jump into the river and be engulfed in flames.

The general licked his lips and gritted his teeth: "Although you are a waste, you are barely a little bloody......"

Dropping these words, the general pulled the boatman and rowed the boat that had already ignited the fire, and ran to the opposite shore.

The boatman did not dare to stop the boat, because the general's knife was resting on his neck.

He also did not dare to dive into the water, because the fire under the water was even greater.

The general praised Yang Ning for his bloodiness.

Where does he know.

When the fire spread across the river, Yang Ning thought far more than he saw.

When he knew that there was oil in the water, Yang Ning knew that he had been tricked.

He was thinking about sorry for the soldiers in his mind, and at the same time, he was also thinking about his own way out.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still found that this was a mortal game.

Even if he escapes by chance, the blame for causing the rout of the army because of his stupidity this time will definitely be carried on his back.

He will also be like Zhao Kuo, who was written in the history books and scolded for thousands of years.

Even if he survives, he will have to live in endless condemnation and self-annoyance.

Today's scene like a fiery hell will continue to burn and burn again in his heart.

Tormented every inch of his heart until the end of his life.

Therefore, he needs to give an explanation to the court and the soldiers.

Only by dying can everyone be given an explanation.

He will not be like a certain Song official in the back, who lost the battle, let hundreds of thousands of soldiers die tragically in the hands of the Western Xia people, and was dragged by the family members of the soldiers to ask where Erlang was, but in the end he was still able to stand shamelessly in the court.

This is also known as the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty.

How sad, how sad?

Straight to the point.

Yang Ning died.

The soldiers of the Song army were leaderless.

Whether it is on one side of the river or on the other side of the river, it is a mess at the moment.

The soldiers of the forbidden army are fine, and they are still restrained by the generals.

Those soldiers who were conscripted could not manage so much.

They fled in panic and without purpose.

It's like throwing a fire in a rat heap and the rats are running in all directions.

"Kill!"

Yang San, who had already prepared, led the soldiers and horses of the southern country to kill at this time.

The 150,000 soldiers of the Song army who crossed the river were besieged by the Southern Army before they could stand firm.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, but there was not much killing.

The soldiers who had been conscripted heard the shouts of killing, and immediately knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

It's not that they are spineless, but at this moment, they are panicked and only want to live.

The recruited soldiers knelt.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were left to dry there.

"Sons, kill with me!"

Some of them are strong, and they lead their brothers under their hands and rush up.

For those who dare to resist.

Yang San was also not polite, and commanded his southern army to start strangling.

The other soldiers of the forbidden army also rushed up at this time.

The two sides fought together in an instant.

That's when it happened.

Lu Duan led a group of people, each holding a gong, and shouted loudly while striking the gong, "This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!" Can you hear from me? ”

Lu Duan, under the protection of his own soldiers, ran through the chaotic army to tell each other.

What is surprising is that except for a small number of soldiers who are obviously hostile to him, most of the soldiers did not attack him.

Lu Duan took a look, there was a play.

Suddenly shouted more vigorously.
