After Makino completely annihilated Fan and the BOC coalition forces in the first battle, and beheaded two heavyweight nobles in a row, Zhao Wuxian regained his full confidence, but he was not overly proud.

Strategically despising the enemy and tactically valuing the enemy is what he has learned from previous wars.

In this battle, the Zhao soldiers suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and within acceptable limits, the wounded and the prisoners of the Handan clan were sent to the south of the Jianjin Ferry for proper placement. Then, Zhao Wuxian took the power of the great victory, took the Muyi lightly, rested for two days, and after deliberately showing off his might in the Song City, he left the next part of the light cavalry and the apprentices to set up a suspicious formation here, and he personally led 5,000 people to the west and went to the direction of Qinshui.

Zhao Wuxian had not yet swelled to the point where he thought that five or six thousand tired soldiers could conquer Chaoge, and he was able to defeat more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers of the Zhongxing clan, and he now had to avoid engaging with inferior forces. The current plan is to fight with Zhao Ying to attack Fan Ji and bury Fan's living force in the field.

They paid close attention to the secrecy of their whereabouts along the way: they bypassed the densely populated area, marched along the sparsely populated north bank of the river, and finally arrived near Qinshui two days ago.

Coincidentally, Zhao Ying's side was also in full swing preparing to dive across the Qinshui.

……

Zhao Ying was stopped by Fan Ji by Qinshui for ten years, and while waiting for Zhao Wuxian's action, they were not idle, and several attempts to smuggle in during this period were declared unsuccessful, and hundreds of soldiers were lost.

In the face of this so-called "rejection near the water, the enemy is rich and many, and I am poor and widowed." If you are hit by water, you will not be able to move forward, and if you want to live for a long time, you will have less food". After the retainers summed up their experience, Yang Hu offered a plan.

"It's almost flood season. However, the water is not wide and the river is not deep, so the best way to cross the river is to simply cut it off from the upper stream. ”

Zhao Ying asked, "How to cut off the water?" ”

"When Dayu ruled the water, he imitated the otter of the river to build a dam, and cut off the water as a soil bag, and its technique has been passed down to this day, and I have seen people use this method to fish when I was in Lu country. The reason is reasonable, you can let the people provided by the Han family dig the soil and make bags, I went upstream to investigate. As long as it can be made into 5,000 soil bags, it will be enough to cut off the flowing water and make the army cross the river! ”

Although the Han clan was reluctant to send troops to the war, they did their best in providing baggage and labor, and three to five thousand Han people from Zhou, Huai, and Yewang were recruited to help, and five or six thousand soil bags were quickly made.

After getting in touch with Zhao Wuxian, in addition to being amazed by his son's good fight, things also became simpler.

"At one o'clock on April 27, it will be dark. Throw soil bags and cut off water in the area of Yewang. At three o'clock, the water was broken, so I asked Han's laborers to pretend to be the main force and light torches to go upstream. Fake crossing the river in order to mobilize Fan's troops. When the time came, I personally led the main force to a few miles south of the camp and dived. Meanwhile. You also attacked the Fan camp from behind and pinned down the Fan army. When our army crosses the river, we can attack it together! ”

This plan seems to be highly feasible. At the end of the day, the upper-stream Han people piled up tree trunks and soil bags into the river on time, cutting off the flowing water. The Fan soldiers were also attracted by the suspicious soldiers, and divided part of them to go upstream to intercept them, and when they arrived, everything was ready, and Zhao Ying ordered the army to start sneaking.

It is difficult to completely cut off the river with soil alone, and it can only cause the water level to fall. There is still stagnant water in the river, not knee-deep in the shallow places, and waist-deep in the depths. In addition, the mud at the bottom of the river is soft and slippery, so it is not easy to wade through the water on foot.

The elite black clothes of the Zhao clan still swam across the river without a sound, touched the darkness to the other side, and began to solve the scattered Fan guards on the shore, many of them were born as light heroes, with outstanding personal martial arts, and they did not play much role in large-scale battles, but they were suitable for being vanguard sharp knives, which were considered special forces in the Zhao army.

However, after crossing nearly 100 people, they were still noticed by Fan's watchtower, and a golden drum sounded, and Fan began to notice the downstream, and the diving crossing could only become a forced crossing.

For a time, the firelight spread all over the banks of Qinshui, not only the enemy had torches, but also the Zhao army, who had crossed the river in the dark. Zhao Ying and Fan Ji, who had long been tired of each other in the court, looked across the river, one was impatient, and the other hated the Zhao family with the pain of losing his son, and they were eager to defeat the enemy army immediately.

At this time, the east of Fan's camp was also attacked, and Fan Jishu was not only unable to transfer the first division of the outer camp, but also had to send Wang Sheng over to stabilize his position.

"The one who came must be Zhao Wuxian, presumably tonight is the trick of the Zhao family and his son, now they can only try their best to hold on, and defeat their attacks respectively, and when the sky dawns, the enemy's first strike advantage will disappear."

Before leaving, Wang Sheng also offered a plan: "The method of leading the troops of the Taigong, if the enemy army crosses the river to attack, do not meet it in the river, but take advantage of the fact that they have crossed part and part of it has not crossed halfway, which is more advantageous!" ”

So Fan Jijiao let some of the Zhao soldiers come over, and then let the Fan soldiers press together, fighting around the hundreds of Zhao soldiers who crossed the river, and at the same time arranging troops on the shore to prevent the Zhao soldiers from crossing.

……

In the night, arrows and arrows came and went, and screams were repeated on the shore and in the water. From time to time, Fan soldiers were wounded and retreated, or Zhao soldiers fell into the river, and the blood they shed seemed to dye the water surface redder, and the torches were blazing, reflecting both banks, and under the reflection of the torch, it seemed that the entire Qinshui was burning......

Zhao soldiers began to speed up the crossing of the river under the command of Yang Hu, and after some of the Fan soldiers were mobilized upstream by a feint, the two sides were evenly matched in numbers. But the Fan clan was defending on the shore, and the Zhao army was attacking from the back across the river, there was mud at the bottom of the river, and they couldn't charge when they took a step and fell into a pit, so they were at a disadvantage for a while.

However, the pressure on Fan's soldiers was increasing, and Fan Jijiao began to regret what he had done to attack half-crossing, because Zhao Bing was really incredibly brave, and it would be difficult to force them back if they put one on their feet and stand on their heels, and these people were like a herd of beasts crossing the river.

Zhao raised more than 1,000 diners, many of whom are light heroes who travel in various countries, Zhao Ying's frank character is very appetizing to them, under the leadership of Zheng Long, these diners formed a death squad, they hold swords with their arms in their arms, shouting: "Loyal to the Lord, just today!" "Began to scream and launch a suicidal assault on the other side.

Zheng Long held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and after the water rushed to the shore. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, Fan Bing couldn't stop it.

The hundred Zhao dead soldiers he brought with him may not be the strongest in terms of bravery. But they all felt Zhao Ying's kindness, and everyone dared to fight. Many of the Fan soldiers who intercepted them on the shore were also from the Chaoge Sword Palace. They are all dead soldiers cultivated by Fan He, but their desperate strength is far inferior to that of Zhao's diners.

Zhao Ying has a very charismatic personality, he loves and hates clearly, he is generous, he cares about the diners, and he can win people's allegiance. Fan Ji's father and son are small people, and they can't do anything to their subordinates, and many talents are buried. Therefore, Fan's diners are not as brave as Zhao's diners.

In addition, after Zhao used Zheng Guoren Deng Xi to reform the family law, he formulated a set of relatively fair reward and punishment methods, and at the same time borrowed Zhao Wuxian's set of military merits to teach the field. Fan's rewards and punishments are unfair, these things can't see obvious effects in ordinary times, and when it's time to fight to the death, the gap is instantly reflected.

The armor and blades on both sides collided, and flesh and blood flew sideways. People kept coming down with injuries. But on the whole, the Zhao clan gradually gained the advantage, relying on the desperate efforts of the dead, and soon forced the hundreds of Fan soldiers on the shore to retreat, clearing a large open space. This is a landing ground carved out with life and blood!

The opportunity could not be missed, and the Zhao army, which was blocked in the middle of the river, was quite inspired and began to risk death to advance. Despite the fact that there is water in the river. The bottom of the river was muddy, and there was a rain of arrows fired by the enemy from a high position. But under the resistance of the shieldman, under the counterattack of the arm-flapped. More than 1,000 Zhao soldiers withstood the enemy's arrow rain and slowly walked through this road of death that was more than 100 steps long.

Finally, the armor soldiers with long soldiers rushed ashore and united in formation.

At the front were the shield bearers, followed by the spearmen, and again the crossbowmen, and the sword-wielding armor and black-clothed guards were on the left and right of the crossbowmen, and the phalanx began to move forward in unison, wanting to open up more space for the follow-up troops.

The armor soldier marched forward with his shield, his spear pecked or stabbed behind the shield, the archer raised his head to shoot his arrow, the crossbowman aimed at the opposing officer from the gap in his shield, and the sword-wielding slashed at the enemy who tried to approach in vain. The Zhao phalanx is no less than the Bank of China and the Wei family, they are like a bronze hedgehog, gradually moving forward, every inch and every foot of the movement will cost a few lives, there are enemies, there are also their own.

Zhao Bing has experienced several major battles in the past few years, and his opponents range from Rong Di to Qi Wei, and he has more experience in dealing with battles than Fan Bing. What's more, after the successful forced crossing, their forces have gained the upper hand on this local battlefield.

The battle situation began to tilt towards the Zhao family.

Zhao Ying took Yang Hu and others to watch it from a distance, only to see that the thousands of Fan soldiers lined up on the opposite shore looked a little flustered after being bitten open a gap by Zheng Long and others.

Yang Hu pressed his sword and said: "Fan Ji's talent can only be the commander of a division, and it is still a little difficult to command properly in this melee situation." ”

Zhao Ying's heart moved: "What about me?" "The sovereign is the courage of the three armies, and when the sovereign is there, the three armies will move forward bravely, and they don't know what death is." Yanghu praised Zhao Ying's charm as handsome, not handsome.

Zhao Ying asked again: "What about the shirtless?" “

Yang Hu thought for a moment and said: "The gentleman is only the commander of the army now, but it will ...... in time."

Zhao Ying's eyebrows raised: "What will he do in the future?" "In time, we may be able to command 100,000 heroes and be invincible in the world......"

Zhao Ying was silent, smiled slightly, looked at the battle situation on the other side and said, "I hope so!" “

Under the firelight, Zhao's Xuanniao Banner and Fan's Dragon Banner were intertwined, and under them, countless faces were flashing, countless weapons were assassinating, and countless voices were shouting in unison:

The wounded are screaming, the warriors are screaming, and the dead are sighing silently.

The torches are connected into a sea of fire, which burns the shore and the river.

At this scorching moment, Fan's outer camp burst out with an even more dazzling flame, it was so dazzling that it almost lit up the entire night sky!

Against the backdrop of this blazing flame, compared to before, the sound of the golden drum from the east was louder and more exciting, and the shouting of killing became more and more high-pitched, Zhao Ying and Yang Hu looked at each other, such a big battle, could it be that the battle situation in the outer camp was more intense than here?

The Fan soldiers were frightened when they saw this, and now there were Fenghe tigers in front of them, and there were evil wolves arson everywhere in the back, and under the attack of the two phases, they were shaken in their minds, and they became more and more unstable on the riverbank.

"What's going on over there?" Ignoring the upcoming defeat in front of him, looking at the huge firelight, Fan Ji, who was blinded by his son's blood feud, was also a little surprised.

At this moment, an ann car blackened by flames drove from the outside, and on it was a middle-aged man with dusty clothes and a face covered with dust.

It was Wang Sheng, who went to the outer camp to supervise the battle, and Fan Jijiao found that he had even half of his eyebrows and mustache burned, and with that serious face, he looked extremely funny.

But Fan Jichu couldn't laugh.

"Lord!" Wang Sheng couldn't wait for the car to be stable, so he stumbled and jumped down, shot down at Fan Ji, and said in a dumb voice: "Zhao Wuxian invaded like fire with soldiers, the ministers were powerless to resist, the outer camp was lost, Zhao soldiers set fire everywhere in the camp, and our army was in chaos!" If the lord escapes now, it will be too late! ”
