Chapter 489: Rainy Night Raid
p
Perhaps for fear that the Heavenly Master Dao would escape, the Beifu soldiers galloped all the way and soon arrived on the north bank of Zhejiang.
The lord ordered the people to cut down trees, and he himself led the generals to inspect the riverside.
Everyone immediately went to the shore of Zhejiang, raised their eyes to look at the other side, but did not find a trace of the rebels.
Zhejiang is a natural danger to the south, and the rebels of the Heavenly Master Dao no longer understand the art of war, and they should not abandon it.
Otherwise, it is equivalent to giving way to the north gate of the meeting.
And once the Beifu soldiers crossed Zhejiang, they could drive straight in.
However, this abnormal situation not only did not arouse the vigilance of the generals in Beifu.
On the contrary, Liu Gaozhi and other generals increasingly believe that the morale of the rebels has fallen, and there is no need to worry about it now.
Only Liu Jingxuan carefully reminded his father Liu Gaozhi not to fall for the rebels' tricks.
Although Liu Gaozhi did not take the rebels seriously, what his son said was not unreasonable, so he sent scouts across the river to investigate the situation.
A few days later, the scout returned with the latest military information.
"Commander, Sanyin City has become a mess, and a large number of rebels are fleeing to the coast."
"Really?"
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
"Back to Dashuai, the rebels seem to be frightened by the first battle of Wuxing, and they dare not dare to confront our Beifu soldiers."
It turned out that in order to reassure Liu Gaozhi and go deeper, Sun Tai ordered people to publicize the remarks that the Heavenly Master was afraid of the Beifu soldiers.
In addition, in order to gather and annihilate the soldiers of Beifu, Sun Tai divided the army into two.
Among them, 10,000 elites, together with sailors, were handed over to Sun En and Xu Daofu to be under the command, and retreated to the island in advance to stand by.
The rest of the tens of thousands of horses were personally led by him, and retreated to the sea in panic, pretending that the general situation had gone.
After listening to the scout's report, Liu Gaozhi was ecstatic, and he didn't expect that this was an enemy trick.
Just as General Liu Gaozhi gave the order to go south, he saw another horse galloping from the north.
The man dismounted and took out a letter from his bosom.
"Li Xiang, the governor of Wu County, see the governor, this is Yuan Taishou's letter."
"Yuan Taishou letter? Present. ”
Liu Gaozhi took the letter, only glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing.
Smiling and smiling, he said with a cold face: "Go back and tell your family that the old man has been in battle for a long time, and he doesn't need to remind him." ”
"What storm?! It's all nonsense. ”
"What if it rains heavily?!"
"The old man was not afraid of half a point in the face of millions of Qin soldiers back then, why should he be afraid of tens of thousands of thieves?!"
Originally, Liu Gaozhi was deeply dissatisfied with the fact that he was denied entry by Yuan Shansong that day, but now the other party is ashamed to point out that it is inappropriate for the army to go south, which arouses his rebellious mentality.
The rest of the Beifu generals also laughed when they heard this, and took Yuan Shansong's reminder as a deaf ear.
Some people even believe that Yuan Shansong's move is clearly intended to prevent the Beifu soldiers from making another great contribution.
After driving Li Xiang away, Liu Gaozhi did not hesitate and immediately issued an order to cross the river.
……
On the overseas islands, Sun Eun and Seo Dao-fu were standing outside, their eyes staring at the sky without blinking.
At the beginning, the two of them were ordered by General Sun Tai to lead 10,000 elites to retreat to the island and stand by.
Today, they have been on the island for five days, waiting for the weather to change every day.
Finally, the sky has eyes, and the weather seems to be different today.
The wind was noticeably stronger than in previous days, blowing flags around the area.
The sky was full of clouds, and the dark clouds were piling up and thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, in the evening, the raindrops the size of beans began to fall.
Falling to the ground, it stirred up a small cloud of dust.
Xu Daofu and Sun En glanced at each other, and said with surprise on their faces: "Oh my God, it's finally raining......"
In the blink of an eye, the whirring wind mixed with the rain poured down, and suddenly there was a curtain of water between the heavens and the earth.
As the night deepened, the rain became heavier.
The wind is strong, the rain is heavier!
In such bad weather, the riding and archery skills that the Beifu soldiers are proud of will not be able to play a role at all.
Of course, it's not all good for the Heavenly Master Dao.
Due to the heavy wind and rain, they couldn't even light the torches, so Sun En and Xu Daofu had no choice but to act in the dark.
Except for the occasional flash of lightning that lit up the night sky, the whole land was dark.
When you speak, shout loudly at the top of your voice so that the people around you can hear it.
In the rain, the dock was crowded with people.
These are all fanatical followers of the Heavenly Master Dao, and they all know that this is the only chance for the Heavenly Master Dao to turn defeat into victory.
Therefore, although they knew that this act was auspicious, they did not feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
In order to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the sea, everyone can only line up in a tight formation, arm by arm, and move forward with difficulty.
By the light of lightning in the sky, everyone saw the waves on the sea surging and the waves crashing against the embankment.
To withstand the wind and waves, the boats were lined up in three to five rows and fastened to the shore with thick ropes.
Even so, the ship continued to roll with the waves, up and down repeatedly.
The sailors on board struggled to lift the sampan to the embankment, but due to the rough waves, people kept falling into the sea.
Although most of the people were rescued, there were some unfortunate people who were swept into the depths of the sea by the sudden waves.
Seeing someone struggling helplessly in the sea, Xu Daofu couldn't help but gasp.
He turned around and looked at Sun En with a shocked face.
"Lingxiu, the wind and waves are so big, ...... Can you get on the boat? ”
"Even if you get on the boat, will you be able to get to the shore smoothly?"
Sun En, who is worthy of leaving a name for 'poisonous abuse' in history, said with a ruthless face: "If you can't go up, you have to go up." ”
"Pass the order: Whoever dares to retreat, or cower, will be killed!"
After speaking, Sun En gritted his teeth violently and was the first to step on the sampan.
After being wet by the rain, the sampan became extremely slippery.
Now, as the hull of the ship swayed, Sun En seemed to be walking on the edge of a cliff.
I saw him bent on his waist, holding the sampan with both hands, and moving forward step by step.
Next to him, Xu Daofu couldn't help but secretly sweat for him, and at the same time silently prayed to the Emperor of Sanguan.
Fortunately, Sun En has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his body coordination and balance are good.
Although the sampan kept shaking, he finally managed to maintain his balance and got on the boat smoothly.
With Sun En taking the lead, the rest of the congregation began to board the ship one after another.
However, due to the strong wind and waves, there were still some sergeants who slipped on the soles of their feet and accidentally fell into the sea.
was hit by the waves again, but it didn't even turn up a wave, and it disappeared.
After nearly an hour of busy work, 10,000 immortal soldiers were able to board the ship.
At this moment, the sailor swung his blade, cut the rope neatly, and pulled the anchor up with all his strength, and the ship immediately went off the shore with great speed.
……
When Sun En and Xu Daofu were fighting for their lives against the wind and waves, Liu Gaozhi on the shore was not having a good time.
The generals of the Beifu have been stationed on both sides of the Huai River for a long time, and they have never seen such a violent storm.
So much so that when the storm came, all the generals in Beifu were caught off guard.
The rain rushed down and submerged the entire camp in knee-deep water.
The tent could not be found intact, and it was all torn open by the wind.
Everyone is like a chicken in soup, standing in the wind and rain, looking at the ocean around them, wanting to cry without tears.
Liu Gaozhi was annoyed, and he knew that he shouldn't have rushed south.
Now, not only did the rebellion not be suppressed, but it was also hit by a storm, and even the food and grass in the army were flooded.
Liu Jingxuan wiped a handful of rain and asked, "Father, is this ...... How good is that? ”
"The power of heaven and earth is beyond the reach of man!"
"And now that the grain, grass, and baggage are all flooded, our army is really unable to fight anymore, so we can only avoid the edge for the time being."
"This damn God, it doesn't rain early or late, but it doesn't rain until soon after I cross the river."
"If it's a day or two late, maybe the army has already recovered San'in."
"Then we don't have to end up where we are today."
As soon as the sound of the generals complained, with the sound of wind and rain, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance.
At first, everyone thought it was a hallucination.
Suddenly, with a flash of lightning that crossed the sky, I saw countless figures coming out of the rain curtain.
The generals have experienced a hundred battles, and when they saw this scene, they immediately thought that this was a sneak attack by the enemy.
And Liu Gaozhi's hands and feet were stiff, and he stood stunned on the spot, and a huge coolness rushed to his head from the soles of his feet.
He immediately realized that this must be the rebels taking advantage of the stormy night.
In an instant, an irrepressible remorse surged into Liu Gao's heart.
He regretted that he should not have ignored Yuan Shansong's warning, so that the whole army was in the current danger.
In fact, when Liu Muzhi asked Yuan Shansong to send someone to remind Liu Gaozhi, he didn't have a good heart.
He calculated that Liu Gaozhi was arrogant, because he had suffered losses in Wu County, and he would definitely not take the reminder to heart.
Sure enough, Liu Gaozhi completely ignored Yuan Shansong's reminder, and therefore put himself in a desperate situation.
