Due to the danger of Weishui, more than 100,000 Hexi troops had to stop their southward advance.

Due to a moment of negligence, the Qin soldiers destroyed all the boats and bridges, which brought a lot of trouble to the Hexi army to cross the river.

By the time Wei Shuo realized this negligence, it was too late.

Although the Hexi Army has regained a vast area of Weibei, the current situation is not too optimistic.

The area of Weinan is narrow, and the army cannot maneuver, so it seems that there is only one way to force crossing.

However, Yao Shuode had already taken countermeasures to this, and he took advantage of the danger of Weishui to send 30,000 cavalry to patrol back and forth along the south bank.

As long as the Hexi army dared to force the Weishui crossing, tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry seemed to immediately pounce on them and tear the river-crossing soldiers to pieces.

After consulting with everyone, Wei Shuo still decided to force the Weishui crossing.

However, instead of adopting the stupid trick of crossing the boat in batches and sending them to death in turn, he organized a strong crossbow to cover and gathered all the boat chains to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

As long as the vanguard breaks through Weishui, it will immediately build a defensive position on the spot and gain a foothold on the opposite bank first.

Not to mention how the Hexi Army arranged the crossing of the river, just talk about Yao Shuode on the other side.

As soon as he received the scout's urgent report, he immediately understood the intentions of the Hexi Army.

In fact, don't look at Hou Qin's successive defeats to the Hexi army, but Yao Shuode was not convinced by this.

In his opinion, the reason why Hou Qin was defeated repeatedly was because the master was incompetent.

Take the two big defeats in Shangjun and Pingyang as examples, if it was him who commanded, Hexi might not win.

Moreover, he still has 30,000 elite horsemen under him, all of whom are fierce outlaws.

In particular, he himself is proficient in battlefield fighting, and he is even more skilled in how to take advantage of the time and place.

For the Hexi soldiers who rushed across Weishui from the pontoon bridge one after another, he was even more aware of their weakness.

Looking at the pontoon bridge extending towards the south bank little by little, Yao Shuode pursed his lips disdainfully.

The pontoon bridge is narrow, even if he doesn't pretend to stop it, how many people can rush over at one time?

There was no need to hinder the interest of the Hexi people in transporting troops, and he would never let his precious cavalry get close to the range of the crossbow array by the river.

He only had to grasp one, that is, as soon as the soldiers crossing the river reached a certain size, they immediately sent cavalry to greet them.

As long as the Hexi Army is not allowed to gain a foothold on the south bank of Weishui, the Weishui natural danger will not lose its effect.

Therefore, in addition to leisurely watching the busy Hexi army on the other side of the river all day, Yao Shuode only instructed the Qiang cavalry to nourish his spirit, then feed the war horses and rest thoroughly, and finally prepare horned bows and wooden arrows, and wait for the time to attack.

……

The spring sun is shining on the Weishui River, sparkling like hundreds of millions of clear eyes, and they are curiously looking at the army on the banks of the Weishui River.

The huge sun and moon battle flag greeted the spring breeze, rippling boundless waves, and each wave head was neatly aligned, rapidly merging into the warm veins of Weishui.

The reflection of the waves on the surface of the water is like countless mirrors, reflecting the faces of tens of thousands of young soldiers.

Most of the guards rushed to the bank of Weishui and ordered loudly: "Build a pontoon bridge immediately." ”

The military order was conveyed, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion immediately got busy.

Some of the soldiers took out the tools for building the bridge and looked around for wooden stakes.

Due to the lack of boats, it was not possible to build a bridge by tying several ships together.

In desperation, the Hexi army had no choice but to build wooden stakes on the river one by one, and then build planks on the stakes.

After nearly two hours of busy work, the Hexi Army finally successfully completed the bridge.

"Cross the river!"

At the sound of an order, a group of Hexi soldiers lined up and began to march towards the opposite bank one after another.

Suddenly, by the edge of Weishui, the roars of people and horses, the sound of rushing water, and all kinds of shouts were all stirred together, making the entire Weishui boil.

Looking at the empty field on the other side, Wei Shuo suddenly felt uneasy.

Qin Bing seemed to have suddenly evaporated, and there was a faint depressing silence around him, which made people feel anxious for no reason.

The more he pondered in his heart, the more strange he felt, and suddenly he was a little worried about the plan to cross the river.

Unexpectedly, he just had an alarm, but he saw that there was already a scout Pegasus to report: "Dadu guards, Hu Qi's ...... have been found on the other side."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the dust on the other side had been raised.

There were shouts of killing in all directions, and I don't know where to hit a lot of Hulu cavalry.

The horse's hooves struck the earth like thunder.

He was taken aback, his eyes were firmly fixed on the opposite bank, and whether he crossed the river today or not only depends on the performance of the soldiers who have crossed the river.

The Hexi Army, which was originally crossing the river, suddenly saw the enemy attack, and panicked, and its body involuntarily wanted to retreat.

The back pushes the front, the front pushes the front, but the pontoon bridge is narrow, and it is inconvenient to move, and it is crowded into a ball in an instant.

People on the bridge panicked, and people on the shore panicked.

After Qin Qiang got closer and closer, he could almost see the smug faces.

Unable to dodge any longer, the Hexi Army, which hurried to the opposite bank, rushed towards the enemy's blade.

The two armies collided fiercely on the banks of the Weishui River, with Hu cavalry on one side and Hexi infantry soldiers on the other.

Rows of feathered arrows swooped down with a piercing screech, splashing puffs of blood mist.

In an instant, the terrible screams rang out, and they were sent by the river wind and swung downstream along the Weishui.

The 100 Hexi soldiers didn't even have a chance to resist, and all of them became live targets for the Qiang cavalry.

The once invincible Hexi Army seemed to have been frightened by the Hu cavalry charge, and as soon as the duel began, it was defeated.

Yao Shuode was very happy when he saw this scene, and finally let out a bad breath, and couldn't help laughing three times.

Kuang, who was crossing the river, was furious, and regardless of his personal safety, he rushed to the front with a horizontal knife and killed dozens of Qiang riders in a row.

He waved his arms desperately and shouted hoarsely: "Array, array, meet the enemy." ”

"Swing in a circle and get on the crossbow."

Seeing that the main general was brave, the Hexi soldiers had a backbone, and a team gathered around Kuang.

Under the command of Kuang, the Hexi Army, which had crossed the river, finally stabilized its mind.

They woke up from a dream, took out their repeaters from their bosoms, and quickly contracted into an impenetrable circle.

At this time, Kuang En was furious and said: "Most of the capital protectors set out on the expedition, aiming to sweep away the Qiang captives!" ”

"Now Weibei has been flattened, Guan You will be determined, and the success or failure of the great cause will only be in the present day."

"Ben was appointed as a striker, and he made a vow to strive for success in crossing the river."

"Today's events, although they have changed in a hurry, if you retreat at this time, what face will you have to say goodbye to Dadu Protection?!"

"If the husband dies, he will die, what is there to fear!"

"I hope that all the kings will forget their timidity, take up arms, and march hand in hand with a certain to repay the kindness of most of them."

At this moment, the Qiang cavalry was like a group chasing the wind, each of them formed a small team in a cone formation of three, three, three, and three, and the team was combined into a large team.

At this time, Hu Cai's usual cavalry offensive, they used the Weishui bank as a bloody slaughterhouse, constantly shuttling across the country.

"Shoot!" With anger in his eyes, he shouted.

Suddenly, the powerful crossbows seemed to erupt into flames, cutting thousands of vigorous bright arcs across the sky.

No matter how fast the cavalry is, it is not as fast as a bow and crossbow, let alone a crossbow that is fired continuously.

Hu Cai, who was charging, was suddenly forced backwards by the repeater crossbow.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and the Hexi Army relied on the crossbow offensive to save the situation of almost a major rout.

Although the vanguard army lost more than 1,000 men, it successfully won time for the follow-up army to cross the river, and finally gained a foothold on the south bank of Weishui.

Yao Shuode saw that he couldn't do anything, so he was forced to lead the cavalry to retreat.

The cool Weishui became hot and hot due to the stimulation of blood, and the whole river was red like a sunset, and the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy were piled up above and below the river.

The pale death is reflected in the warm light of spring, shaking out a chilling horror.

……

After the forward army gained a foothold on the opposite bank, hundreds of thousands of Hexi troops began to assemble on the north bank of Weishui.

For a time, people and horses were connected, stretching for dozens of miles.

Thousands of large and small boats are lined up along hundreds of miles of Weishui, and the scene is spectacular.

A few days later, Jiang Fei, Wang Zhongde, and Tan Daoji each led an army and crossed Weishui in Yixian, Xianyang, and Xiatai respectively.

In the face of the Hexi Army's division of troops to rush across Weishui, the Later Qin people were powerless and could only watch their own loss of Weishui.

As soon as the armies of all walks of life crossed Weishui, they immediately seized all parts of Weinan, intending to isolate Chang'an and dominate the city.

After the generals led the army to leave, there were only more than 10,000 elite guards left in the Gaoling camp.

In the big tent, Wei Shuo was listening to Guo Yi's introduction of the latest military situation.

"The lord, the east road, Wang Dudu, after crossing the Weishui, stormed Huayin and forced the defenders of Tongguan to surrender."

"At present, he is leading the army to advance in the direction of Wuguan, intending to cut off the Qiang people's escape route to the south."

"Not long after the good news came on the east road, the good news also came on the west road."

"Governor Jiang Fei took advantage of the Qin army's self-care, crossed Weishui from Yi County, and successfully entered Shiping County in Weinan."

"The defenders of Huaili, Juxian, Wugong and other places surrendered, and the Eastern Route Army almost bloodlessly took most of Shiping County."

The series of good news really made Wei Shuo feel excited, but it was not surprising when he thought about it.

Since the defeat of Pingyang, the Later Qin has completely lost its self-motivation and cohesion, and Yao Xingli's Buddha has made the Later Qin lose their fighting spirit and spirit.

If it weren't for the support of Yao Shuode, Yin Wei, Yao Huang, Yao Min, Di Bozhi and others, I'm afraid Hou Qin would have collapsed long ago.

The so-called catastrophe is coming, and in the face of the general trend of Huanghuang, in addition to the Qiang people, not many people are willing to burn jade.

The battle on the front line was smooth, and the Qin army in various places was about to collapse at the first touch, which couldn't help but make Wei Shuo feel good.

He laughed and got up and said, "Let's go!" It's our turn to cross the river. ”
