Chapter 371: Risking Your Life
When the Fen River flows through the area of Houjiazhuang, there are tributaries separated, just like a 'human' character. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Shanbei Port is in the middle of the glyph, which is actually a large island enclave. Its potential is steep and steep, high above the water surface, overlooking both banks, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Shi Hu entered the state from Heluo and planned to attack Jinyang, he left 3,000 soldiers here to garrison it, specifically to block the Qin army that might cross the river from here.
At this moment, the rain of arrows in the sky shot uninterruptedly, hitting the stones on the bank of the river, and even sparks splashed in all directions. In front of Shanbei Port, although the shouting and killing were deafening, it was really difficult to attack on the river, and the Qin army organized several attacks, but they were all repulsed, and they had no choice but to leave more than 1,000 corpses, and the wounded were not counted.
Yao Xiang, the former commander of the army, shouted hoarsely, and frequently commanded attacks, but when he saw that he was beaten back one by one, he jumped to his feet and scolded with hatred, but he couldn't go down to Beigang. Beside him, the little soldier Wang Chang, who was actually the crown prince Gao Quan, was also wearing a helmet and armor, carrying a saber, and his eyebrows were locked and he looked into the distance.
Previously, on the eve of Yang Tao's conquest and annexation of the state, he was summoned into the palace by Gao Yuemi, and entrusted the crown prince Gao Quan to him, asking him to take him with him, and in this Northern Expedition, he had a good tempering experience. Gao Yue said that the crown prince is the prince and the future monarch of the country, but he is long in the deep palace, and has never seen the suffering of the people, or the cruelty of the battlefield, and does not know that in this world, it is not easy to fight, and it is also a big problem to be able to sit firmly. Therefore, walking down from the battlefield of swords and swords, flesh and blood is definitely an excellent exercise for his heart and will, and he can cherish the sweetness in the future when he tastes bitterness.
Although Yang Tao was busy agreeing in front of Gao Yue, he hadn't slept a single night since that day. What is the fatal place of the fierce battle? The sword and gun have no eyes, and if you are not careful, you will be a king and general, and you will die with a cold corpse. Being able to take the crown prince with him, although Yang Tao felt that this was the emperor's attention and trust in him, the disproportionate pressure still made Yang Tao tremble every day, for fear that the prince would make a mistake. Yang Tao knew that if Gao Quan had three longs and two shorts, even if he captured Shi Hu, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the sin of extermination.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears and act in a low-key manner, Gao Quan changed into the clothes and armor of a pawn, assumed the alias Wang Chang, and acted as a personal soldier in front of Yang Tao's tent, and any opportunity that might touch the battle and kill, Yang Tao resolutely avoided letting Gao Quan personally participate, to put it bluntly, he was determined to let Gao Quan be gilded.
Gao Quan's young temperament, he was assigned by his father to hone in the army, although he was nervous, but more excited and exciting. He asked Yang Tao several times that he should also go into battle to kill the enemy, otherwise he would always be in the rear, so what is the point of coming here? Yang Tao naturally refused tactfully and secretly, and told him to stay by his side at all times and not go anywhere.
Unexpectedly, after today's military discussion, taking advantage of the large number of people, Gao Quan made a time difference, and actually followed Yao Xiang to Dashan Beigang. After Yang Tao knew, a cool breath went straight to the back of his head, and the deep fear and anger made him almost crazy, when he rushed to Shanbei Port without stopping, and sent a messenger to rush to deliver the order in advance.
Let's talk about this side, Gao Quan looked at it for a while, turned his head to Yao Xiang and said, "General Yao!" Shanbei Port is really dangerous, and if you fight so head-on, the casualties are too great. I have a good idea to give it a try. ”
Yao Xiang is actually only four years older than Gao Quan, and his young temperament has not yet taken off, so he can't help Gao Quan's secret soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he is numb and bold, and privately agrees to bring him to "practice." Hearing Gao Quan's voice now, he replied, "What is the best way for Your Highness?" ”
"How many times have I said it, in the army, I am just an ordinary soldier now, not the crown prince, don't call His Royal Highness any longer, just call me Wang Chang, why can't you always remember?"
Yao Xiang hurriedly responded, and Gao Quan said: "In the past, when my father was not the emperor, he was not so strict with me, and I also practiced swimming back then. It's better to wait for me to take 500 people who know how to water, detour to the rear of Shanbei Port from the upstream, and then launch an attack by surprise, and General Yao will attack in front again, and with the cooperation of the two, Shanbei Port should be able to be taken. ”
Although Yao Xiang was bold enough to be willing to take Gao Quan privately, he finally agreed to let Gao Quan take the risk of sneak attack. But since he was brought out, it is not easy to use what identity is safe and so on, so he had to shake his head, but he said: "...... If the enemy is prepared in the front, how can the rear be defenseless? Or think in the long run, think in the long run! ”
Both of them looked ahead again. At this time, the Qin army launched a new round of offensive, against the locust arrows, more than a dozen small boats, across the tributary river, stubbornly to the port, but after a short time, half of them were shot down, and the rest of the soldiers easily jumped to the shore of the port, and were killed by the Zhao soldiers who had been waiting for a long time with spears. Although the tributary is not wide, it has been fought for a long time, but it cannot be crossed.
On the other side, Zhao Bing's ridicule and scolding came one after another, which was extremely harsh. Yao Xiang was so angry that he was about to tighten his spear and pull out his leg to attack in person. Gao Quan didn't care about him, but he picked up the knife, pulled his leg and rushed forward, intending to dive over, only ran two steps, the sound of breaking the sky became more and more harsh, and the dense random arrows in front of him were shot head-on, but he was a little frightened, and when he was hesitating whether to move forward or retreat first, the chaotic arrows had already been shot, Gao Quan hesitated, several stray arrows grazed his upper arm, and blood immediately gushed out, so painful that he bared his teeth and screamed.
Yao Xiang was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and pulled him down, before he could say anything, he heard an angry roar, but when he saw it, it was Yu Kun, a general under his command, Huya General.
Yu Kun is also known as a famous general, seeing the small mountain Beigang repeatedly fighting, immediately annoyed brute, in the long whistle, Yu Kun was wearing two iron armor, and soaked in water with cowhide, wrapped in a body, then left hand shield, right hand knife, with twenty soldiers who dared to die, set up a boat, and then went to the river bravely.
Zhao Bing hurriedly took countless arrows to concentrate on shooting. Yu Kun shrank up and covered it tightly with a shield, but he could hear the chaotic sound, and Yu Kun's shield was full of arrows in an instant, and it looked like he was carrying a hedgehog from a distance. When the boat crossed the river for most of the time, the oarsmen had already shot six or seven dead, and the boat spun around the river. Yu Kun gritted his steel teeth, moved over against the rain of arrows, his left hand still holding on to the shield, and his right hand began to rock the oars desperately, and the ship began to rush towards the opposite shore again.
Gao Quan saw it in his eyes, and was deeply shocked by the fierce battle and the bravery of Yu Kun and other generals who were not afraid of death, he was in a daze, and couldn't help but be extremely nervous and excited, and couldn't help but stomp his feet and shout loudly. Yao Xiang hurriedly ordered his successors to follow, so that Yu Kun would not fall into a desperate situation without help.
Gradually not far from the shore, Yu Kun didn't care whether he was dead or alive, he suddenly rushed forward and jumped ashore. Fang stood still, and was hit by an arrow in his thigh, and the whole person was about to fall forward. But he roared violently, and he staggered to stabilize his body, and then he walked like a fly, rushed into the Zhao soldiers, and slashed frantically at close range. There were only seven brave men left behind him, but they were all brave outlaws, and when they were able to land on the shore, they all shook their spirits and showed their skills with all their might.
Yu Kun was able to succeed, Yao Xiang was overjoyed, personally ordered a thousand people, rushed away in a boat, and then most of them also boarded Shanbei Port. As soon as there were many people, it was an equal hand-to-hand fight, and after a little longer, the Zhao soldiers began to passive.
The scorched smoke was billowing and the embers were not extinguished. After paying the price of nearly 2,000 killed, Shanbei Port, which was attacked to the death, finally fell into the hands of the Qin army. Gao Quan's face was covered with black ash, and he rushed to the port with the large army, and he was even able to slash an enemy soldier. He grinned with snow-white teeth, and was about to find Yao Xiang to high-five Xiangqing, when a herald drove a small boat, and then came, the boat did not stop, and the anxious voice of the herald came: "The commander has an order!" Shanbei Port will not attack, but also to ensure the safety of Wang Chang! If there is a difference, Yao Xiang will be beheaded below! ”
Yao Xiang was startled, and before he could reply, he saw another small boat rowing like a shuttle, and the second herald ran ashore, waving his hand and shouting: "Dashuai urgent!" Yao Xiang immediately returned to the teacher, there must be no mistake! Blame the delayer! ”
"The handsome urgent! ……”
In just a moment, five herald ships arrived at the end, and the military orders were severe and urgent. Yao Xiang and Gao Quanquan looked at each other, and the hard-won joy of victory couldn't help but be replaced by a feeling of anxiety.
On the riverbank, in the temporary big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Tao sat upright with a pale face, and was shouting angrily and furious. The generals in the tent are Yu Kun, who has made the first contribution in this battle, and they are also injured and solemn, and they all dare not make a sound.
At the foot of the stairs, seven or eight headless corpses fell to the ground in a mess, and the head rolled out no matter how far the head rolled out, the thick human blood soaked the ground purple and blackened. The guards who had been ordered to conceal and guard Gao Quan were ordered by Yang Tao to be killed in front of everyone. All the generals present knew that the original commander of the little soldier Wang was actually the crown prince, and when they heard that he had gone from the front line of life and death, they all sweated in fear, and secretly called this young master really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, no wonder Yang Tao was extremely angry.
“…… The crown prince, the prince of the country, is also the lord of our group. The battle array is fierce, the sword and gun have no eyes, Yao Xiang dared to put the body of the prince's daughter into danger to make a desperate bet to win war merits, which can be described as a thief's courage! Thou hast not known humility and humility, thou hast no reverence, and thou hast violated military discipline and made decisions without authorization, and thou hast seen the Son of Heaven and the law of the king in your eyes! ”
In the midst of the blood, Yao Xiang's face was pale, and he didn't dare to move when he knelt. Hearing the sound of the desk being slammed, accompanied by the boss's roar, seeing that Yang Tao was really angry this time, Yao Xiang couldn't help but regret it and be afraid. Putting everything aside, if Fang Fang really trapped Gao Quan, not to mention himself, even his father Yao Yizhong, and even the entire tribe, I am afraid that he doesn't know what to do in order to atone for his reckless and reckless behavior.
"Thou hast nothing to say, nor hast thou spoken. Come! Correct the criminal Yao Xiang on the spot and behead it to show the public! ”
