Chapter 393: Soldiers are coming to the city
"The armies of the northern frontier are as rumored to be, and they have a bit of fighting power!"
Ding Liao said to himself worriedly, and then he ordered again: "Pass the order, the scout team will be released five miles away, closely monitor the Bei'an Army, and the rest of the school armor will not take off, and be ready to rest!" ”
"The subordinates have orders!" The school ordered to leave, Ding Liao took his own horse along the route of Lin Xiu's retreat and walked five or six miles, in the north direction of Yanjin Ferry, Ding Liao found the scout of the Bei'an army, he turned to the forest, avoided the scout, from the gentle slope aisle, to the Bei'an military camp to the east of the forest hill one mile away, from the forest hill, Ding Liao was shocked by the military momentum of the Bei'an army: "This... That's impossible... It is rumored that the Bei'an Army has only been in the army for two years, how can there be so much military strength? ”
The shallow river channel dozens of miles downstream of the Beijing-Tianjin estuary bridge, Zhao Yuan, Zhuang Fei, Huang Qi and other generals came to the position of crossing the river under the leadership of Gongsun Li, looking at the rapid river, Huang Qi patted the horse and went down to the river to test the bottom, the result was not more than ten steps, the river water did not pass the horse's knee, and then Huang Qi explored the water with a long cone blade, and found that the water flow was quite strong, if the soldiers were not careful, it was likely to be washed away by the whirlpool under the riverbed.
Back on the shore, Huang Qi withdrew his boots and armor filled with water, and said: "There is an undercurrent at the bottom of this shallow river, and it looks calm on the water, but it is actually more dangerous!" ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Li looked helpless: "Generals, if you want to cross the Liao River, you can either take a boat from the ferry or take the Beijing-Tianjin River Estuary Bridge, and in addition, there is only this shoal left, but then again, if everyone knows about the shoal and is extremely safe, then the ferry bridge would have been built here a long time ago!" ”
Because Gongsun was reasonable, Huang Qi had nothing to say, turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan and Zhuang Fei, and waited for them to make a decision, Zhuang Fei raised his head and looked at the sky, although the sky was clear, but the white clouds were thick and heavy, and the moisture on the river bank was growing, and the water droplets were covering the leaves, as if it was a sign of rainfall.
"Captain Zhao, look at the weather, it is estimated that there will be heavy rain in two days, if you cross the river, you have to start building a pontoon bridge now, and the water bridge will cross the river with you, otherwise it will rain heavily and the river will rise, and it will be even more difficult to walk.
Hearing the word military strategy, Zhao Yuan knew the seriousness of the situation, and then he said in a deep voice: "Huang Qi, Hua Tieli, your two schools immediately send people to cut down dead trees in the forest to make a pontoon bridge, before tonight, we must cross the river!" ”
Yanjin ferry north, Lin Xiu armed for battle, a few hours ago the temptation has let Lin Xiu see the combat power of the Yan army, these Jianghuai soldiers rushed to fight quickly, the soldiers are brave, much stronger than the Dongzhou army, if the battle on the north bank, the Bei'an army will be like an old deer stuck in the quagmire, tired to death, and then destroy him to help the capital.
"General, Captain Fang Caiping replied that Yan Cai rode a small force to the east of our army three miles away, like a camp!"
In his thoughts, Ling Bing replied, and Lin Xiu smiled lightly: "We have done a good job in the weak battle situation, which makes Yan Jun suspicious!" ”
"In this case, we might as well take the opportunity to attack, fight fiercely, eat these swallow horses, and give Yecheng a coercion!"
Tang Chuanwen made a suggestion: "This can also attract all the attention of the Yan army, so that Zhao Yuanbu has more time to go around the back of Yecheng and stab them in the back!" ”
"Well said!" Lin Xiu agreed, he got up and said: "Pass the order to Lin Huaiping, let him lead the headquarters to be the vanguard, and raid the Yan cavalry on the north bank of the Beijing-Tianjin River Estuary Bridge, Jiao Chu will lead the light cavalry on the flank to respond, and be sure to beat the Yan cavalry back to the south bank!" ”
"The subordinates have orders!" In a rough voice, Jiao Chu came out to receive the order, and after a while, Jiao Chu led the cavalry of the headquarters out of the camp, and the two generals Chen Guan and Cheng Da saw it, and said: "General, Yan Cavalry is an elite battle, I have been here for a long time, and I have not yet fought yet, so it is better to let the two of us this time..."
Before Chen Guan's words were finished, Lin Xiu smiled: "Two generals, you have bent down to follow a certain south, this situation and righteousness, a certain deep feeling, it is just a little trivial, and you don't have to work for the two veterans to go out!" ”
With respectful words, Chen Guan touched his nose, looking at his embarrassed appearance, Lin Xiu got up and walked in front of the two of them, and said: "General Chen, I have a task related to the life and death of the Bei'an Army, I don't know if you dare to take it!" ”
Chen Guan's expression changed suddenly, and his heart was already surging: "The general's order, a certain death must be done!" ”
"Good! He is worthy of being a loyal general! Lin Xiu whispered a few words, Chen Guan's face changed instantly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "General rest assured, even if a certain person dies, he will not be allowed to be the banner of loyalty and righteousness in Bei'an!" ”
After Chen Guan and Cheng Da left, Tang Chuanwen was a little worried: "General, it's too bold for you to do this... What if..."
"No whatever!" Lin Xiu's face gradually sank, and his resolute spirit made it impossible to disobey: "A certain book is not evil, treat people sincerely, Chen Guan and Cheng Da are also wise generals, since I allow them, I have to believe them, I think the two of them will not let the general down!" ”
"Even so, you should send a henchman to spy on you, after all, these two were originally Bian Ancheng's old ghost's arms!"
"No problem!" Lin Xiu stopped Tang Chuanwen's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he said worriedly: "Brother Chuanwen, the change in the flanks of the couch is not what I am most afraid of, no matter how bad Yu Zhi is, he will not lose my life and destroy the pillars of Northern Xinjiang, but the situation in Yecheng... It's like a hard bone to gnaw, you have to help me think about how to fight this place quickly... Go south to the capital as soon as possible! ”
Tang Chuanwen pondered for a while, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "General, since you say so, then you need to be a general, and no matter what you do, you must treat it as if you don't know, no matter, don't ask!" ”
"As long as you can conquer Yecheng and pull out the strong wall in front of you, it will be up to you!"
Half a moment later, Tang Chuanwen left the tent and went straight to Lin Sheng's camp, and when he saw the army in the army, Lin Sheng said: "What is Changshi doing here?" ”
"Captain Sheng, Poye City, I need you to do something..."Tang Chuanwen was close to his ear, Lin Sheng's eyebrows closed slightly when he heard it, and then said: "Brother Xiu can't do anything, I will definitely do it, Changshi will wait for a while, when I will place the subordinate order properly, hand it over to Ah Xiu, and I will go with you immediately!" ”
'Woo... Whining... Woo'
When the sun was setting in the evening, Ding Liao was changing the defense of each team, and suddenly heard the horn attacking from the west, Ding Liao was frightened, picked up the copper spear and rushed out: "Damn... The Northern Army is coming... Yan rode to meet the enemy... Yan rode to meet the enemy..."
For a time, the Yan cavalry camp was in chaos, after the three drums, Ding Liao led three thousand Yan cavalry to rush and kill, facing a hundred steps away, Lin Huaiping was in the front position, and five hundred eagles and doves stood proudly behind him, and his majestic momentum shocked Ding Liao's heart.
"Wait for the Yanqi traitor to listen, eating the emperor Lu is the emperor's favor, it is a matter of heaven and geography, you are waiting for the rebellion to come here, read the blood of the same Xia people, put down the blade, and surrender to the ground..."
