Chapter 175: The Battle of the Humble Water
Beishui is the only suitable place for landfall in the west of Ziyidao County, and once you pass this place, the current becomes more and more turbulent as the river narrows.
Under the river is no longer as flat as before, but there are many more solid stones, under this water flow speed, once the boat is loaded, the end is only the destruction of the boat, even if these soldiers have practiced, but once they fall into the water, it is difficult to cope with the undercurrent surging river, once an unstable, by the undercurrent washed down, then you can only go with the flow, bad fate hit a stone hidden in the water can be sad!
Even if cultivation can improve one's own quality, one must not forget that the forces of nature are often more powerful than you think.
Kong Ming also saw the bank of the Beishui River, and immediately said to Yang Yi: "Wei Gong, quickly let the commanders give orders!" ”
Although everything has not been completely figured out, Yang Yi still hurriedly continued to do it.
Zhuge Liang was on the warship, on the high platform, I saw the herald holding the command flag waving from time to time, as if he was giving some orders.
With the wave of the herald, I saw that on the warship, many people turned their heads and walked into the cabin, and then when they came out again, there was an extra strong bow in their hands, and at the same time, they were also carrying a quiver on their waists and backs, and there were at least more than fifty of them in a rough count! At the same time, not only them, but also those who remained in the cabin before, all wearing armor, based on the cabin, ready to go to war at any time!
As we get closer, the Beishui River Beach gradually becomes more and more open.
On the riverbank, there were a large number of soldiers dressed in strange costumes, and sure enough, as expected, Gao Ding hurriedly gathered a large army to go to Beishui after getting the news!
At this time, there were more than 10,000 rebels on the banks of the Beishui River!
The speed of the river was very fast, and it took only two quarters of an hour for the warship to appear in the field of view of the rebels in the Beishui area and then travel to the center.
Like the Shu army, the Gaoding Department was also in full array, and all kinds of shields, not to mention neat, were raised one after another. Of course, as long as you are not stupid, you will definitely lift it, after all, on the opposite warship, there are so many people, and they all have strong bows in their hands.
Then Kong Ming gave the next order again, and as the herald changed the signal, he saw that there was no warship, and dozens of people went to the stern.
They all have one characteristic, that is, they are bigger than the others, and they all roll up their sleeves and are ready to do a big job.
They took out the iron trident they had prepared, but it was not horizontal, it had a slightly curved shape, suitable for hooking underwater boulders.
The next moment, everyone raised the trident in their hands and threw it towards the anxious river!
After a round, most of them were not plugged in, or a small part was plugged in, but soon they were pulled up again because of the rapidity of the river!
However, there will always be a suitable one! With a fork inserted in, with the first plug fixed, the next dozen or so were much easier, and it didn't take long for them to be fixed.
In the turbulent water, dozens of warships stopped one after another, and just stood still in the river, and the ropes of the tridents were carefully examined, and once again confirmed that there was no danger, everyone turned their eyes back to the rebels on the opposite side.
"Order, the army opens its bows, prepare!"
The herald's flag changed again, and the Shu army acted according to the order, and they opened their bows with both hands, and a broken arrow was set in the middle!
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, everyone fired a volley, and the arrows in the sky swept like rain, heading towards the east of Beishui!
Although the rebels on the opposite side raised their shields one after another, in the face of this dense rain of arrows, they finally made a mistake, and the sharp arrows passed through the shield armor and submerged into the soldiers' bodies, harvesting their vitality.
For a while, the rebels were completely stalemate here, although he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but when it came to weapons, the rebels were far inferior to the Shu army, whether it was a bow or a shield!
Seeing the situation on the opposite side, the confidence of the Shu army was undoubtedly greatly increased, and they all mustered up their strength and shot towards the opposite side! Zhuge Liang didn't have many cavalry this time, most of them were infantry, and among the infantry, the archers were the most convenient, and their lethality was not weak!
Therefore, Kong Ming had prepared nearly a million of them, and the cabin behind them was equipped with bows and arrows.
Looking at the state of the rebels on the other side of the river, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Prime Minister, we are now pressing and fighting, if we can have a cavalry, we can directly rush over, and we can definitely defeat the enemy army!" ”
"Haha!"
Kong Ming smiled slightly: "Wei Gong, for such a long time, do you think who is missing?" ”
Hearing this, Yang Yi immediately habitually looked at everything around, but fortunately, there were not many people coming this time, and the generals were better to count, and after a while, they already knew how much.
"Prime Minister! Could it be Zhang Bao, Guan Xing's two young generals ......"
Yang Yi made a bold guess.
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing have an excellent relationship, and Xiao Guan Zhang is not only a person with their strength, but also their relationship, just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
The two of them were not in the southern expedition originally, but later it was Zhuge Liang who exercised Zhang Bao and Guan Xing in order to exercise, after all, they must be young officials of the Shu State, and it is an exaggeration to say that the future depends on this group of young people!
In the mountains and forests on both sides of Beishui, there are figures rushing out, and the leader is the young general, with a serious expression, waved his hand at the rear army, and then looked coldly at the rebels who were in the Beishui River beach at this time, passively beaten.
According to Zhuge Liang's plan, they are to block the way back for the rebels!
It shows that the Shu army from the beginning believed that the frontal battlefield could defeat the rebels 100%, because whether it was from the strength of individual soldiers or the number of people, the Shu army had enough advantages, and the people who led the army were Zhuge Liang personally commanded, although Zhuge Liang personally commanded the battle, but if you look closely, you will find that Zhuge Liang is a thief and has almost never been defeated, even if he is defeated, he can effectively preserve his strength.
In the air, the rain of arrows was still falling, and from time to time through some gaps, taking away the lives of several rebels.
On both sides of Beishui, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were pacing their horses respectively, and they were still waiting for the opportunity!
The spear in his hand was already tightly clenched, and around his body, the Xuan Qi gradually rose, and at this time, the strength of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing had been revealed, and they were all ranked in the seventh order, although they were only two, three, but when they thought of their age, it was enough to shock, they were only in their twenties, and they were already in the seventh order.
You must know that after all, the twenties are young, and the peak of the military generals is often thirty-four or five years old, if these two people are not accidental, they may not be able to reproduce the prestige of Guan Zhang in the past ten years!
And in history, there are not many battles in which Guan Zhang has shown his talents, Zhang Bao also participated in the Northern Expedition, Guan Xing is different, only some wild legends have appeared, the authenticity needs to be investigated, and even some people doubt whether there is such a person!
