Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, including the sergeants on the boat, they are also underwater stalkers who are skilled in water, when the enemy shoots arrows, they just jump into the bottom of the river, hold the chain, and then slowly drag the boat to the opposite riverbank, as long as the boat passes, then everything will be easy." ”

Wei Zheng looked at the torches on the opposite side, illuminating the bank of the river, hundreds of small boats had already docked at this time, and they were hit by the river and ran aground on the river beach, and the cooked cowhide on it covered the small boats tightly, and he couldn't see what it was.

Wei Zheng nodded: "The ship must be equipped with weapons and armor, which is for those unarmed underwater stalkers to use to attack ashore, right?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Exactly, mainly shields and bows and arrows, I don't expect them to be able to capture the riverbank, but I need them to be able to hold on to the riverbank for a while, until the pontoon bridge is erected, and the army crosses the bridge!" ”

Wei Zheng sighed, his face was full of conviction, looking at the already lively river in the distance, dozens of pontoon bridges had been erected, and all Sui troops began to forcibly cross the river, he said: "So the lord needs to use practical actions to lure the generals of the other battalions to take the initiative to attack, so as to attract the attention of the Goguryeo army and prevent them from throwing reinforcements, especially cavalry, here, right?" ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "Exactly, I don't worry about the Goguryeo archers in this camp, because we have big shields and bows and arrows to shoot, and we will not be completely suppressed, and the Goguryeo army in this stockade will be three or five thousand people at best, so it will not form the kind of arrow rain suppression when crossing the river with wheat and iron rods, but if we land successfully first." The Goguryeo army assaulted with several thousand iron cavalry. Then it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold on the beachhead. ”

"But the generals of the battalions. All of them are like ghosts, they are counting on others to attract firepower, so that they can sit and reap the benefits of fishermen, these people are often their own subordinate soldiers, and they will rely on these troops to sweep Liaodong in the future, but they can't be seriously injured in this Liaohe River, so if I don't really cross the river, they won't make any moves. But if I do cross the river, then they will not be able to sit still, and they will rush to make a contribution at this time. ”

Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The lord is clever, and his subordinates admire it." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and pulled Wei Zheng's hand and said, "Let's go, it's time for Yin, we can also prepare to cross the bridge." The herald, called General Fei to lead the team, the water ghost team and the wrestlers now continue to build bridges. The vanguard of 5,000 must rush over at once. ”

The muscles on Yang Qianshou's face were constantly beating, and he had always been calm. Seeing the dozens of pontoon bridges of the Sui army, which were spread out on the entire river dozens of miles wide, he was also a little panicked, the horsewhip in his hand was tightly held, but his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to break the enemy.

The corners of Yang Chengzhe's mouth hooked, and he said: "City Lord, it seems that the Sui army has fully crossed this time, and they have built so many pontoon bridges, and so many troops have gathered to prepare to cross the river, it shouldn't be a feint." ”

Yang Qianshou gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Ben Shuai can see it." Cheng Zhe, now you must calm down, don't panic, the Sui army seems to be prepared, the main direction of their attack, or our main camp, pass the order down, shrink the troops, concentrate in the direction of the main village, and first repel the enemy in front of you. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Yang Chengzhe's eyes, and he pointed to the thirteenth village of the left army fifteen miles downstream, and said: "City Lord, you see that the Sui army over there was the first to cross the river, and now the boats have docked, it is said to be the most urgent place, why don't you send reinforcements over first?" ”

Yang Qianshou didn't look at it, and said coldly: "The Sui army there is obviously a feint, and the water flow in the Thirteen Villages is the most urgent, which is not suitable as the direction of the main attack at all, and they are building bridges and using boats, obviously there is no order, purely to attract our troops, this kind of clumsy trick, I will not be fooled, inform Liu Chengmin, ask him to firmly hold the beachhead, and if necessary, draw troops to support the Ninth Score Village five miles away." ”

When Yang Qianshou said this, he glanced up at the moon in the sky and let out a sigh: "God, please bless our entire army in Anshi." ”

Goguryeo, at the thirteenth branch of the left army, Liu Chengmin looked at the more than 100 ships on the shore, his face was full of doubts, and Song Shangzhi, the herald on the side, said coldly: "Lord Liuzhai, it seems that your arrows have not stopped the ships of the Sui army from docking, what should I do now?" ”

Liu Chengmin gritted his teeth, he also wondered, it is said that these unmanned boats should be swept away horizontally by the rapids, and even should crash the pontoon bridges erected by the Sui army that only reached the seventh and eighth sections, but these boats seemed to be driven by someone in the dark, so they swayed and ran ashore, if it weren't for the fact that the boat was empty, he really thought that someone was driving.

Liu Chengmin shook his head and said to the sergeant beside him: "These ships are weird, send fifty sergeants to go over and search to see what is under the cowhide, if there is nothing abnormal, these ships will be set on fire." ”

After a while, the gate of the Goguryeo camp was slowly opened, and a small group of Goguryeo soldiers with white cloth bands on their heads, led by a captain with a leather helmet, carried a bow and a spear, and held a torch, and ran out cautiously, only fifty paces from the camp gate to the river, but they were in formation, with their shields in front, and walked in battle formation.

When he came to a small boat that had been washed ashore with half of the hull, under the light of the torches, he saw that the boat was covered with a thick layer of cowhide, drenched, and I don't know what was hidden underneath. The sergeants looked left and right one by one, not daring to step forward, and after the leading Captain Li scolded for a while, he simply copied a spear from a soldier and scolded: "Look at your little bit of talent, you have to do it yourself!" ”

The spear slowly picked open the ripe cowhide, and when it was uncovered, there was a dazzling light, and the sergeants were so frightened that they hurriedly took a few steps back, and even the torches shook for a while.

Captain Li was also a little scared, with a horizontal spear in front of his chest, he jumped back two steps, the feng shui by the river was still the same, there was no abnormality, Captain Li was bold, walked forward, and provoked the whole cowhide at this time, only to see that there were seven or eight large iron shields piled up on the boat, as well as more than ten sets of armor, more than twenty hard bows, scattered at the bottom of the boat, there were dozens of bags of long-pole wolf's teeth and arrows, just now it was this armor and shield that were reflecting.

Captain Li laughed, turned around, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Sui Jun will send us ...... again."

Before his words fell, more than a hundred figures suddenly burst out of the water, and a sound of breaking the sky sounded, and more than a hundred daggers flew like lightning, fiercely plunging into the bodies of Captain Li and the more than ten Goguryeo soldiers who were standing in the front row and had just easily put down their shields.
