About 20 miles away from the luxury fragrance station, there are several wide mountain cols in the valley of the Xixi River, because there is a large waterwheel built along the bank of the Xixi River, so it is called the waterwheel dam. Ｘ

Because Yang Zuo was worried that the official army would cross the river from here, he arranged a garrison of 5,000 people here in advance, led by another general under An Bangyan, Oh Sha, and stationed here.

Another reserve unit, Huangnitang, like the waterwheel dam, was also twenty miles away from the luxury incense station, and was led by another general, a Tusi leader named Biao Zuo of the Shuixi clan, who also garrisoned 5,000 troops.

Yang Zuo was mainly based on luxury incense stations, and personally led troops to garrison 10,000 soldiers.

Luxiangyi, waterwheel dam, and then add the yellow mud pond behind the right of Luxiangyi, a total of three places, roughly distributed in the shape of a product.

On the rugged terrain and landform of the mountains and mountains along the west bank of the Xixi River along the post road, it was impossible to place a large army, and it was relatively safe to be arranged like this.

However, it was originally a safe arrangement, but because of the feint attack launched by Xu Chengming under the command of the Guizhou Army at the Xixipu Ferry and the Xixi River, it was completely chaotic by Yang Zuo himself.

Not only were the 5,000 people in Huangnitang temporarily mobilized by him to the riverside to participate in the strict defense, but also the 5,000 people from the waterwheel dam were also hurriedly and panicked to the ferries and wharves outside the Xiangyi Station, and they were intensively deployed along the river.

As a result, when Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, and Wei Ang went all the way over the mountains and mountains along the river to the south and found the Yi village of the waterwheel dam, Oh Sha, who was originally stationed inside and outside the village, had just led the main force of the army to disappear into the rain-misty mountains and forests south of the waterwheel dam.

Seeing that there was an existing road to the south of the waterwheel dam, Luo Ganxiang and the others did not make a detour, and regardless of whether the waterwheel dam was garrisoned by enemy troops, the three groups of men and horses took advantage of the rain and fog to rush down from the mountains and forests northwest of the waterwheel dam.

Fortunately, Oh Sha only left hundreds of old and weak people in the waterwheel dam to take care of grain, grass, baggage and other materials here, and the original men of the waterwheel dam, whether old or weak, had already been recruited by Yang Zuo to be used as people with the army near the luxury fragrance station, and they relied on them to set up camp.

In this way, more than 8,800 people led by Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, and Wei Ang led by more than 8,800 people in the Qingmiao and Guangxi wolf soldiers killed and plundered all the men and women in the waterwheel dam after just one impact, and only a few Yi soldiers stationed outside the waterwheel dam fled when they heard the wind and fled all the way to the south, shouting warnings all the way.

It's just that although the twenty-mile mountain road is not easy to walk, it is enough for more than an hour.

At noon on the same day, Luo Ganxiang and others led the army to chase some of the Yi soldiers who could not escape, crossed the mountains and mountains, passed through the fog forest, and finally arrived at the luxury fragrance post while killing the last waterwheel dam deserter.

Yang Zuo's sense of smell is relatively keen.

If he hadn't transferred the 5,000 garrisons of the watermill dam, he would still have been able to make a difference if he had reacted at this time.

At the very least, we can leave behind the officers and troops who are feinting on the river first, concentrate our forces on going to the waterwheel dam first, and use 20,000 people to fight Luo Ganxiang and others, and there is still a good hope of victory.

However, by this time, when the Yi soldiers at the luxury fragrance post were shouting "there are officers and soldiers on the shore", and then there was a big chaos, everything was too late.

Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, and Wei Ang, as well as their respective green seedling soldiers or wolf soldiers, did not know how many mountain roads they had run for several days, but at this moment, when they knew that the purpose of their raid was about to be achieved, and the Shuixi Yi soldiers of Luxiangyi were not only defenseless, but almost all of them were densely crowded on the banks below the Xixi River Valley, they still roared excitedly, and they were not tired of crossing mountains and mountains through the fog forest at all.

If the 1,800 officers and soldiers led by Luo Ganxiang and others had bows and arrows and could use bows and arrows, then just standing on the high shore and throwing arrows down could wipe out the nearly 20,000 Yi soldiers who had been deployed along the river bank for several miles.

But it's a pity that in rainy and foggy weather like this, the tendon and angle compound bows of the officers and soldiers can't play a role at all.

The rain and fog are heavy, the humidity is heavy, and it is not a day or two, the bowstring of this era is most afraid of moisture and rain and fog, and the bowstring is loose and cannot be used in such weather.

At the same time, the Shuixi Yi people's bows and crossbows, which were far behind the official army, did not play a role.

Therefore, in the Shuixi region, what can determine the outcome of the war is in the final analysis the white-knuckle combat and hand-to-hand combat with you and me.

Luo Ganxiang, Mo Keji, Wei Ang and others also knew this, so they didn't plan to win by opportunism at all.

After the three of them led the army to the vicinity of the luxury fragrance station, they saw the Shuixi Yi soldiers who were densely packed together along the river in the rain and fog, and they didn't say anything, just roared, and rushed to the dock with a knife and rushed to the ferry.

It was past noon, the sun still hadn't appeared, and the dense damp rain and fog were still gathering and not dissipating.

Xu Chengming across the Xixi River, he had already heard the shouts on the other side, although he couldn't see clearly what kind of situation the other bank was four or five hundred steps away, but just listening to the shouting and killing, and then calculating the time, he also knew that Luo Ganxiang must have arrived, and the other bank must have been a mess.

As a result, the drums, which were already a little slack, sounded "dong dong" and "dong dong" again, and the agitated drums penetrated the fog shrouded in the Xixi River valley, inspiring all the officers and troops on both sides of the river.

Zhao Guoxi, who had already drifted along the river twice, took the lead for the third time, abandoned the shield in his hand, held a big knife in both hands, and rushed to the opposite bank on a bamboo raft, while crossing the river, while inspiring morale:

"General Luo has already crossed the river! Miao soldiers and wolf soldiers have already arrived! As long as the brothers come to shore, we will win! As long as this barbarian by the river is eliminated, it will be our Guizhou soldiers to grab money, food and women! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the corporal under his command was excited, and the physical and mental exhaustion caused by a morning's feints and drifting was swept away at once.

These Guizhou soldiers have long been extremely red at the wolf soldiers who have returned again and again, at this time, no one remembers what Zhao Guoxi said earlier, everyone only remembers that they can grab money, food and women when they go ashore!

Therefore, when the first batch of 20 bamboo rows leaned against the wooden stakes on the river bank this time, the Guizhou soldiers on the bamboo rows did not care about putting the lassoes on the bamboo rows on those rejection horses or wooden stakes, but jumped down one by one.

Those who can jump on the bank of the river jump on the riverbank, and those who can't jump on the bank jump directly into the water flow on the bank of the river, gather one by one with shields and dance knives, throw guns or stones against the bank, and strive to advance to the riverbank.

Zhao Guoxi, who was squatting on the top of a bamboo row, was lucky, and took advantage of the momentum of the bamboo raft hitting the river bank, jumped and landed on the bank.

The sharp wooden piles and horses arranged along the river here have been dragged into the river by the bamboo rafts when the official army feints and forcibly crossed, and there are no rejected horses placed along the river, and the Yi soldiers in the rain and fog are afraid of being dragged into the river by the bamboo rows of the officers and soldiers who came out of nowhere, so they dare not get too close to the river bank.

Such places have become breakthroughs when Zhao Guoxi's command docked.

As soon as Zhao Guoxi jumped to the shore, he immediately had a down-to-earth feeling, and his courage was suddenly strong, holding a broad-bladed and thick-backed big knife with both hands, and rushed into the Yi soldiers who were still in chaos on the bank of the river in the river valley.

In the river valley, on the riverbank, countless Yi soldiers, because of the sudden attack from the shore from the Miao soldiers and wolf soldiers from behind, have long been in an uproar, chaotic, at this time suddenly appeared on the river a bamboo raft full of soldiers, the people who saw it were even more frightened.

Many people exclaimed: "There are officers and soldiers on the river again!" The officers and troops on the other side crossed the river and stormed! ”

These Yi soldiers crowded by the river shouted like this, and the situation became even more chaotic.

Most of the people under Zhao Guoxi's command are Han Chinese, and they don't quite understand what these Yi people are saying, but in the smoke and rain, Luo Ganxiang, who is struggling to attack and kill the Yi soldiers across the river beach, really listens to it.

Luo Ganxiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "General Xu has crossed the river!" Mr. Xu has crossed the river! Kill them all and do a great job! ”

Xu Chengming, who was standing at the Xixidu Wharf, heard Luo Ganxiang's loud voice from a distance, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Of course, he did not cross the river, but his men were getting closer and closer to the riverbank.

The effort spent on a feint attack and forcible crossing in the morning was not in vain at all, not only causing a lot of holes in the shore fortifications on the other side, but also allowing the Guizhou army under the command of Xu Chengming to accumulate valuable experience in crossing the Xixi River on a bamboo raft to seize the beach and land.

When it was time to really attack hard, all these previous efforts would be used at this time.

Xu Chengming breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the soldiers around him to take turns changing shifts and beating drums and cheering, while he found a boulder under a thick ancient tree, meditated cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated, and quietly listened to the shouting, scolding, screaming and wailing from across the river on the other side.

The noise and hustle and bustle formed by the convergence of drums, shouts and screams, for Xu Chengming, who has fought for most of his life, is better than the best songs, and can make him feel more relaxed and comfortable.

He is accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and he is also numb, and he has long lost his compassion for the enemy.

At that time, the Shuixi Song clan and the Shuixi An'an clan joined forces, and the army of 100,000 surrounded Guiyang, you came and went, repeatedly contended, and fought fiercely for more than ten months, until finally the city ran out of food, ate horses, and cannibalism among horses.

With that kind of experience, no matter how cruel and bloody the scene is, it is now in front of Xu Chengming's eyes,
