Chapter 954: Crossing the Yellow River at Night
During a busy day, the various departments of the Wei army rushed to make a large number of torches and set up hundreds of rafts, but when you look closely, those rafts are very small and cannot carry people across the river at all.
It was the third watch of the night, Gao Yihuan stood on the embankment, nearly 1,000 soldiers tied the torch to the raft, and fixed the straw man, and then carried the raft over the embankment to the beach.
At this time, Li Guo ran to Gao Yihuan and reported with his fists in his fists: "King, the soldiers are ready." โ
In the dark night, Gao Yihuan looked at the opposite bank, where the torches of the Qing army patrolled and walked back and forth on the river embankment, and the defense was very tight.
"Are Jin Xiangang and Hao Shaoqi ready?" Gao Yihuan pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and asked in a deep voice.
Li Guo clenched his fists, "Back to the king, news has already arrived, just wait for us to raise the fire, they will force the crossing from the left and right wings." โ
From the beginning of being coerced by Liu Heizi to this moment, Gao Yihuan has been on the campaign for nearly ten years, and in these years of conquest, although he cannot be regarded as a peerless general, but years of tempering have also made him an extremely difficult opponent.
Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, he just glanced at the team's bank river defense during the day, and he saw Bolo's flaws.
The Qing army on the other side was very well defended, but there were too few men and horses, and the Yellow River was too long, as long as Bolo was not allowed to predict where the Wei army would cross the river, it would be difficult for Bolo's 20,000 men to react in advance and prevent the Wei army from crossing the river.
Gao Yihuan watched the soldiers swing the raft to the river, and the cannon had already been transported to the river embankment, so he said coldly: "Let's start!" Send someone to inform Jin Xiangang and Hao Shaoqi that the left wing will cross first, and the right wing will cross later, so as not to mess up the order. โ
Li Guo clenched his fists, turned to leave, and after a while, he saw the Wei sergeant, lit the torch tied to the raft, and raised the small sail on it.
The raft was lowered into the water and carried downstream along the river, while the southeast monsoon, blowing on the sails, carried the raft north.
In this way, it gives the impression that the raft is moving northeast, and the Wei army is forcibly crossing the Yellow River.
Sure enough, as soon as the raft was put into the water, the Qing soldiers patrolling on the other side saw that on the river, the raft was flowing downstream, and the firelight reflected on the red river, and they were immediately shocked, "It's not good, the Wei thief has forced the crossing!" โ
In an instant, the patrolling Qing troops panicked, and the Qing troops on the river embankment all exclaimed, "It's not good, the Wei thief has crossed the river!" โ
The urgent alarm bell sounded, and in the Qing army camp on the back of the river embankment, the Qing army wearing various colors of armor poured out of the camp in a panic, Bolo hurriedly put on his armor, pressed the sword out of the tent, and bumped into Tong Yangjia with a panicked face head-on, "Lord Wang, the Wei thief has forcibly crossed!" โ
"Don't panic!" Bolo's face was frosty, he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to be so decisive, he didn't rest for a day, and he actually raided overnight.
At this time, a large number of Qing troops crossed the river embankment and assembled on the river beach, preparing to give the Wei army a head-on attack, and the Qing army's artillery on the river embankment began to roar, and the shells whistled and bombarded the rafts in the river.
Gao Yihuan saw the cannon flames flickering on the opposite bank, and in the rumbling sound of cannonballs, one after another shells smashed into the river water, splashing up the water columns, and the raft was too small, and the shells hit more and more, and the raft went down more and more.
"Fire! Build momentum! Gao Yihuan ordered in a cold voice, Boluo Xiaoer, at any level, he dares to fight with the Lone King!
The Wei artillery began to roar, and the soldiers raised fire and shouted on the shore, and from time to time released a batch of rafts, which was monstrous.
In the dark night, the distance was too far for the Qing army to see the situation on the raft clearly, and the artillery bombarded again and again, and the raft flowed down more and more, and the soldiers moved downstream along the river bank and the raft on the river, trying to prevent the Wei army from landing on the shore.
At this time, Bolo's eyes were fixed on the raft, but his expression suddenly changed, his whole person shivered, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and roared urgently, "No! The cavalry immediately patrolled along the river! โ
As soon as he gave the order, a Niu Lu galloped over, "Lord Wang, there are Wei thieves smuggling in Dongjiakou!" โ
"Okay, you Gao Yihuan, really cunning!" Bolo was furious when he heard this, and pulled the reins of the horse violently, "Tong Yangjia, you are defending here, inlaid with white flags, blue flags, come with this king!" โ
A large number of cavalry of the Han army banner hurriedly turned over their horses and galloped to the north with torches. โ
Thirty miles downstream of the forced crossing on the middle road, on the river near Pikou Village, Hao Shaoqi led the soldiers to board the boat and quietly rowed to the bank of the team.
The Wei sergeant went to the river beach, and a patrol of Qing troops found the Wei army ashore.
Hao Shaoqi pulled out his sword, jumped off the boat, and suddenly roared, "Kill the Tartar!" โ
The torches of the Wei soldiers suddenly raised their torches, illuminating the river beach, and thousands of soldiers rushed ashore, frightening the nearly 100 Qing troops on patrol to flee directly.
Bo Luo led the cavalry to Dongjiakou, Jin Xiangang led nearly 10,000 Wei troops, there have been three or four thousand people across the river, the two sides are fighting fiercely, a horse rushed to the panic, "Lord, the general situation is not good, the Wei army broke through the river defense, Tong Gushan has withdrawn!" โ
Bolo was so frightened that he shook his horse and almost fell off his horse, but fortunately he had been tested for a long time and had a good mental quality, so he did not pass out.
At this time, on the river beach, there were more and more Wei troops crossing the river, and at this time, the killing sound from the south came, and countless torches came all over the field.
Bolo glanced at the West Bank angrily, and Chen Baoping, the Qing general next to him, said in a panic: "Lord Wang, the enemy is strong and I am weak, turn in!" โ
Bolo pulled the reins of his horse and gritted his teeth, "Withdraw!" โ

At dawn the next day, on the edge of the Yellow River, the people who came from Kaifeng came to the river carrying timber, and the people jumped into the water to build a pontoon bridge for the Wei army.
The king of Wei wanted to go east, and the villagers in Henan responded in droves, and at the same time as the army set off, a large number of people came to the chrysalis.
The Tartar of the dog day is really hateful, it has plagued Henan for many years, and it is really bad to die if you want to drown us on the embankment.
If the Wei army wants to fight the Tartars, they must make a contribution no matter what, and they must annihilate these beasts so that the world can be peaceful.
In just one day, with the help of tens of thousands of people, the Wei army built three pontoon bridges over the Yellow River, and the Wei soldiers drove across the Yellow River in a steady stream and entered the Shandong border.
Gao Yihuan crossed the river under the urging of the generals, and the Qing army on the east bank had already fled, Gao Yihuan immediately waved his hand, "Order the army to go straight to Denglai!" โ
At this moment, a cavalryman came galloping from a distance, shouting from afar: "King, urgent report!" โ
The cavalry turned over and dismounted, and presented a military report to Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan opened it and read it hurriedly, and immediately frowned, a large number of Ming troops went north to Shandong, and the vanguard had arrived in Yanzhou.

In the south of Cangzhou, Putai County, Wuding Prefecture, Shandong, the eight flags and their dependents on the road are embarrassed.
When they came out of Beijing, more than 100,000 people carried a large number of baggage, but now under the pursuit of the Wei army, most of the baggage losses were lost, and the personnel were also reduced by 30%.
At this time, beside a carriage on the side of the road, the white-armored banner soldiers were guarding the left and right, and a team of cavalry galloped over in a hurry.
Bolo turned over and dismounted in embarrassment, he came to the side of the car, glanced at the car timidly, and then suddenly knelt on the ground, and reported in pain, "Regent, the slaves are incompetent, and the river defense is broken!" โ
Inside the carriage, Dole heard the words, his body trembled, and his face turned red.
