Chapter 306: The Battle of Crossing the River Begins
October is the time when Pu's level is slowing down.
The moist river breeze blew mightily, and gradually a light rain fell, and the lush green trees on both sides of the mountain became a little hazy under the mist.
The flow of the river means that this is a place that is not afraid of drought, and the land is also very fertile, and it is usually the time for old farmers to cultivate land and plant some vegetables and fruits for winter food.
Now that the army is facing each other, the people on both sides of the strait do not have the courage to do so, and some villages are empty, and the people have long since fled.
In this world, there is a clear distinction between the government and the nobles and the commoners, and the soldiers and the unarmed common people are also separated by two concepts.
For the common people, it is natural to run away when they fight, whether they win or lose, and it has little to do with the ordinary people, what they really care about is whether the tax will increase or decrease after the fight.
However, judging from the situation obtained in the past, if Cangguo is victorious, the common people can live a better life.
At nightfall, the boundless clouds gradually gathered, and the continuous rain had stopped.
In the middle of the night, the first part of the Blue Dragon Legion, a total of more than 50,000 people, under the leadership of the great general Qu Yong, carried small boats and touched the river.
On the banks of the river, which stretches for miles, there are soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion everywhere.
At this time, it is time to reflect the quality of the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion.
There were more than 50,000 people, and they didn't make a loud sound.
Although it is impossible for the enemy to set up defenses on the edge of the river for dozens of miles, there are also groups of scouts patrolling, so it is better to be cautious in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
The sound of the ship launching into the water......
The 50,000 soldiers walked slowly, and even the horses that followed behind all helped the horses' mouths with ropes, and the horses did not make a loud noise except for a loud chirp.
A few miles later, Wei Zhongquan stood on a high place, paying attention to every move on the riverbank.
Everyone was nervous, after all, it was the first time to cross the river training, although there had been relevant drills in the past, but it was the first time to use it in actual combat.
Not to mention anything else, the one who led the army this time was Qu Yong, the oldest general in the Blue Dragon Legion, the existence known as the deputy marshal, which is enough to show that the entire army attaches great importance to this matter.
Whether or not the river can be crossed safely determines to a large extent which side has the initiative in this war.
At this time, it is autumn.
The weather is neither hot nor cold, and the river is neither cold.
However, with the river at least a few hundred meters wide, it used to be difficult to swim.
The first team of 1,000 people, in a small boat, slowly crossed the riverbank.
Their mission was to destroy enemy scouts as soon as they came to investigate, to prevent the spread of information, and to protect the successful crossing of the river by the follow-up large forces.
In the second half of the night, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moonlight sprinkled the land.
This is no small challenge for the army crossing the river.
Sparkling and sparkling, it's easy to see the boat in the middle of the river.
"There are enemies!"
Suddenly, a torch lit up in the distance, and a group of scouts shouted loudly.
Exposed!
"Cross the river!"
Qu Yong gave the order, and suddenly there were 50,000 people, and thousands of boats competed.
A huge battle to cross the river has begun!
The number of ships is limited, and in fact, it is impossible for a large army to build a boat that can cross the river for the entire army of 200,000 at once, so it is also a helpless move to march with an army of 50,000 at first.
Soon, the Jin army arrived, not to mention tens of thousands.
Moreover, this is only part of the army, and there will definitely be more army soldiers in the future.
A bloody war has broken out!
In the rear, Wei Zhongquan was also very anxious, the advance force was very important, and whether or not it gained a firm foothold on the opposite side was related to the casualties of the entire army and the success or failure of crossing the river.
"Go!"
Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to hide anymore, Wei Zhongquan gave an order, and the rest of the troops all rushed to the riverbank, ready to cross the river at any time.
This kind of scene is like queuing up at the time of dinner, and the person in front of you successfully crosses the river, and then it is your turn......
The sound of fighting, screaming, came from the other side of the river.
After about a stick of incense, the army led by Qu Yong finally gained a firm foothold on the opposite side.
It's so late, the main force of the enemy's army must still be asleep, and it will take a certain amount of time to get here, so from the perspective of time, it is still not very serious.
The problem is that the 200,000-strong army cannot be in one place, otherwise when the enemy army arrives, it will not be a last battle but a dumpling.
……
Jin army camp.
A girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes entered the barracks lightly.
After all, he is also a person who has fought with the army dozens of times, Zou Ji knows how to deal with the boredom in the army, and with the general Xun Wu, he is very relaxed, and he finally has the opportunity to indulge.
During the day, he ordered a few henchmen to go to the nearby villages to look for them, see if they could find a few women, disguise themselves as soldiers, and send them to the barracks.
I didn't expect those people to be so efficient, and the white and tender girl, although it is not a charming gesture, can be regarded as a little beauty.
Stepping on the thick carpet, the woman blushed, lightly stripped off the clothes on her body, brought a basin of hot water on the stove in advance, and wiped Zou Ji's body naked.
Later, under the guidance of Zou Ji, he got into the soft and dry silk cotton quilt.
After a violent gasp and restlessness, Zou Ji hugged his smooth and tender flesh and snored heavily.
In the midst of a deep dream, there was a sudden shout, and a general broke into the tent.
"Ahh
The girl screamed, and she, who was already anxious, suddenly shrank up, hugged her head and shouted.
Zou Ji turned over and sat up, and scolded rudely: "Slut, what is it called!" ”
The woman trembled, and as soon as she pointed to the general in the tent, she stuck softly to Zou Ji.
When Zou Ji saw it, anger rose from his heart, and he was about to scold, but he saw that the general looked panicked, and bowed: "General, the Cangjun has crossed the river!" ”
Crossing?
Zou Ji was stunned for a moment, and immediately noticed that outside, there was a sound of rustling, and he didn't know that he thought it was a bombing of the camp.
Zou Ji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the two armies are only separated by a river, or they don't cross the river, once they cross the river, they will definitely start a war, if the Cang army successfully crosses the river, his side has not reacted, and he can't say that he will be attacked by the Cang army.
Thinking of the surprise attack of the Cang army, Zou Ji was a burst of scalp numbness, when more than 10,000 Cang troops attacked the 130,000 army of Shengguo, and the entire military camp was leveled, and now there are 200,000 Cang troops on the other side, even if they can't destroy their million army, they can also cause irreparable losses.
Suddenly pushed away the flesh stuck to his arm, jumped off the military couch, and shouted: "Quick! Clothes and armor! Go and invite General Xun Wu! ”
