Chapter 1254: Tear Down All the Hidden Stakes
Late at night, Zhong Kun looked across the riverbank.
The Huns had already reached the opposite bank, and were busy dispatching warships to take up the posture of crossing the river.
By the light of the Huns' torches, Zhong Kun saw that there were definitely not a few people on the other side.
His face was very ugly.
The ferry is very small, and although there are hidden piles placed on the periphery, which can stop the Huns for a while, it is impossible to stop them for a lifetime.
Looking at the Huns on the other side, Zhong Kun was pondering what method to use to stop them, when a soldier ran behind him.
"Qi Yu Zhong Gong." The soldier clenched his fists and said, "The eldest son is here!" ”
"The eldest son is here?" Zhong Kun looked back in amazement.
In the darkness of the night, he did not see the rumored army of 30,000.
He asked the soldier in surprise, "Where is the eldest son?" ”
"Is this Zhong Gong?" Before Zhong Kun spoke, a few people walked out of the darkness, and the handsome and talented son of the family opened his mouth to ask.
Cao Shuo didn't know Zhong Kun, but Zhong Cang recognized him.
Seeing that it was Cao Shuo who came, Zhong Kun hurriedly saluted and asked, "Why is the eldest son here?" ”
"My father originally wanted me to intercept the Huns." Cao Shuo smiled: "If I don't come, who else can come?" ”
Knowing that he had asked the wrong question, Zhong Kun changed his question: "Dare to ask the eldest son, I heard that he brought 30,000 troops......
"It will take an hour for the army to arrive." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that the Huns have reached the other side of the river, and some can't let go, so I came over to have a look." ”
Looking at the torches on the other side of the river bank that could almost connect to the sky, Cao Shuo asked Zhong Kun, "The Huns on the other side are the Huns?" ”
"Exactly." Zhong Kun replied: "The Huns also arrived two days ago, and they rested for two days, looking at the current posture as if they were going to cross the river tomorrow." ”
"The Huns made a big mistake." Cao Shuo smiled slightly.
"There hasn't been a war yet, how does Childe know that they have made a big mistake?" Zhong Kun asked in astonishment.
Pointing to the Huns on the other side, Cao Shuo asked Zhong Cang: "With so many people, if you forcibly crossed the river two days ago, you wouldn't be able to stop it?" ”
"I can't stop it." Zhong Kun said: "That's why I let the soldiers dig dark piles in the water, which can block it for a while......
"Dark pile?" Cao Shuo asked, "How many are there?" ”
"To say the least, there are three or five hundred." Zhong Kun said: "With these hidden piles, the warships recruited by the Huns are not so easy to dock. They all grew up on horseback, and they were good at fighting on horseback, and if they were allowed to go into the water in the middle of the river, I am afraid that few would be able to swim over. ”
"If they don't come, how can I have a good time?" Cao Shuo said to Zhong Kun: "Trouble Zhong Gong, let the soldiers dismantle all the dark piles." ”
Zhong Cang looked at Cao Shuo in amazement: "Childe is going to ......"
"Demolished!" Cao Shuo said in an unquestionable tone: "I brought my troops here to kill the Huns, not just to scare them, so that they don't even dare to cross the river. ”
"Although what Gongzi said makes sense, the Huns are very strong." Zhong Kun said, "If they are trapped in the river, Childe can send an order to the archers to shoot them from a distance......"
"The enemy has a ship, how many can you kill by shooting from a distance?" Cao Shuo said: "Zhong Gong listened to me, he demolished the hidden pile, as long as the Huns dared to attack, I would let him have no return!" ”
Cao Shuo said with great confidence.
Zhong Kun didn't dare to believe him easily.
Although Cao Shuo was a succession of victories in the past, there were almost no defeats.
But he was fighting against the army of the Central Plains at that time.
The fighting methods of the Central Plains people, Cao Shuo already knows it well.
But the way the Huns fought was impossible for Cao Shuo to see.
Looking at Cao Shuo, Zhong Kun had no bottom in his heart, and he did not immediately order the soldiers to demolish the hidden piles in the river.
"What else is Zhong Gong thinking?" Seeing that Zhong Kun did not give an order, Cao Shuo said: "Zhong Gong's soldiers and horses are far more familiar with the terrain and rivers here than the soldiers I brought. If I wait for my army to arrive, I will still have the soldiers tear down the stakes. In case any soldier is accidentally swept away by the river, I will ask Zhong Gong for help. ”
Although Cao Shuo's words were an understatement, Zhong Kun heard the threat from them.
He said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, it's not that I don't want to, it's really ......"
"Zhong Gong is in trouble?" Cao Shuo asked.
Zhong Kun replied: "Gongzi may not know the Huns, they were born in the grassland and grew up on horseback since childhood. When it comes to cavalry and archery, we Central Plains people are not their opponents at all. And their horses are all carefully selected horses from the Hetao......"
"So what?" Cao Shuo interrupted Zhong Kun: "No matter how good the riding and archery skills are, it is impossible for them to conjure up one more life!" No matter how good the war horse is, it is impossible to generate copper skin and iron bones, and even arrows and spears cannot be poked into it. As long as they are human, as long as their horses are alive, we have a way to deal with them. Zhong Gong doesn't need to ask anything, as long as the order goes down and people remove all the hidden piles in the river, you no longer need to do anything here. ”
Cao Shuo repeatedly insisted that the hidden piles be demolished, and Zhong Kun had to receive a military order, and personally led a group of Cao soldiers into the water at night to pull up the hidden piles they had arranged one by one.
When Zhong Kun led a group of soldiers to pull up the dark pile, Chen Zhi, who was following Cao Shuo, asked in a low voice: "Childe, since they have deployed the hidden pile, why did Childe let them dismantle it?" ”
"I said it." Cao Shuo said to Chen Zhi: "We are here to kill the Huns, not to stop them on the other side of the river. Although the dark pile can stop the Huns, it will only delay for some time. We had a 100% chance of winning before we came here, so why did we make this extra move to make the Huns think we were afraid of them? ”
"In fact, if the hidden pile is not demolished, the Huns will definitely land on the shore." Chen Zhi said: "If they want to fight a decisive battle with our army, it is impossible to stay on the opposite bank all the time. ”
"Uncle Zhi is right, but he ignores a huge problem." Cao Shuo said: "There is not only one ferry on the river, there are too many hidden piles here, so they can choose another ferry to land." As long as they were looking for a crossing downstream, even if our army used all cavalry, it would not be possible to run faster than their warships. Tearing down the hidden piles and reducing some trouble for the Huns actually saved us from running around and toiling. ”
Chen Zhi was stunned.
The truth Cao Shuo said was too simple, but he didn't understand it for a while, but he asked these questions.
"In this battle, I'm afraid the dragon pattern rider is going to watch from the side." Gently patting Chen Zhi's arm, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If you want to kill the Huns, I advise you to go and discuss with other generals now, and see if they will leave you a few alive when the time comes." ”
