Chapter 252: The Battle of the Xianghe River (6)
At night, more than ten miles away from the Xianghe River, a soldier rushed into a big tent.
"Report ...... There is a big battle in the lower reaches of the Xianghe River, and the fighting is tight, and our army is sending reinforcements downstream."
"Report ...... Jiaozhi raided the middle reaches of the Xiang River, and due to insufficient troops, a rout occurred".
"Report ...... Yishan, the general of Jiaozhi, set up a water village in the middle of the stream, which seems to have a long-term foothold."
"Report ...... The prime minister ordered the general to lead his troops and horses to quickly go to the middle reaches of the Xianghe River to supervise the battle, collect the defeated troops, and reorganize the defensive line."
Jia Fu was in the tent, looking bored, looking around on the map. When I heard the battle reports of several soldiers, I suddenly rejoiced that such days could finally come to an end.
Zhao Jian and Xiang Huai were overjoyed, and stood a little straighter one by one, and hurriedly looked at Liu Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat.
Liu Sheng put down the book in his hand, walked to the soldier who gave the order, and took the military order: "Please report back to the prime minister, this general will lead the army and go to supervise the battle."
"The prime minister specially explained, looking at the situation tonight, I am afraid it will be a decisive battle. To be on the safe side, 30,000 reinforcements will then be sent to reinforce the generals. Of course, if the general can gather the rout, capture the water village, and erect a pontoon bridge, it will naturally be better. Our army can take advantage of the situation and destroy the enemy's camp in one fell swoop, thus gaining a good opportunity." The soldier relayed Zhou Bo's words respectfully to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng nodded at the soldiers, and turned to Jia Fu, Qi Huaiyuan, and Zhao Jian with a majestic face: "Gather all the generals and order the troops to supervise the battle."
"Commanded ......". Jia Fu, Zhao Jian, and Qi Huaiyuan bowed down to receive the order, turned around and walked out of the tent. After all, it is a military camp, and the three of them naturally have a straight face.
"Knock, knock, knock......". Three thousand spring and autumn guards, each riding a war horse, eliminated the queue.
Liu Sheng rode a white horse and stood at the forefront. Yi Hun, Jia Fu, Qi Huaiyuan, and Zhao Jian rode horses and stood behind. They were followed by ten Spring and Autumn Guard generals, and more than 3,000 people were silent. They had long understood that this battle was the final battle of Chunqiuwei.
With a wave of his hand, the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and more than 3,000 people galloped to the middle reaches of the Xianghe River. The defeated soldiers along the way gradually converged.
When he was about to reach the middle reaches of the Xianghe River, Liu Sheng sent people to count more than 20,000 people. Except for the Spring and Autumn Guards, most of the rest were foot soldiers and archers.
Liu Sheng beckoned, and the army stopped. Looking ahead, my heart moved slightly.
"Report ...... General Qiyu has now been discovered. The enemy troops in the water village are complete with all kinds of troops, and they have counted them from a distance, and there are no less than 30,000 left. It seems that the situation is intended to be stationed for a long time." A scout horse came quickly, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and returned to Liu Sheng.
When Liu Sheng heard this, he looked ahead. Suddenly, I found that not far away, there were two high slopes and smiled slightly: "Ah Fu, how do you feel, in front of this, how are the two high slopes."
"It's too low, and if you set up an ambush, it's a bit reluctant." Liu Sheng's thoughts, how could he not know. Jia Fu followed Liu Sheng's gaze and looked at it as well, and then fell into deep thought.
Liu Sheng smiled mysteriously and pointed to the high slope in front of him: "It's not tall or short enough, I decided to set up an ambush here."
"Ambush? Uncle Xiao Sheng...... General, is it useful to set up an ambush here? The enemy is in the midst of the water." As soon as Zhao Jian's words came out, he reacted and quickly changed his words.
Urging Huaiyuan also hurriedly agreed with Zhao Jian's words, looked at Liu Sheng, and was a little puzzled: "The general is not a battleground here, and he is ambushed here, not in the opposite direction." What's the use of the enemy if he doesn't come."
"You have learned the art of war, and if the enemy does not come, I can't, let them come?" Liu Sheng turned his horse's head and looked at Jia Fu, Qi Huaiyuan, Zhao Jian, and Yi Hun.
Urging Huaiyuan and Zhao Jian, the two glanced at each other, and their puzzled expressions became a little thicker: "The general doesn't have anything that the enemy army must take here, how can we let them come."
"You're here, just watch." Liu Sheng's eyes looked ahead, behind the ten generals of the Spring and Autumn Guard, there was a row of generals, all of whom were generals who had been defeated from the front.
Zhao Jian seemed to sense something, and hurriedly asked: "General, do you want to lure the enemy, but with the current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"It's hard to lure the enemy, but what about provocation? They have just won a big victory, how can they withstand the provocation of the defeated generals". Liu Sheng smiled confidently, patted the horse's back lightly, and walked forward, the group of generals of the defeated army.
Jia Fu suddenly shook, and a bad feeling emerged, and he looked at Liu Sheng nervously.
Liu Sheng's gaze slightly glanced at the group of generals in front of him, and his face gradually became serious: "Wait for the ...... to obey the order."
The generals hurriedly knelt down, as the generals of the defeated army, since they could make meritorious contributions, they naturally did not dare to slack off, and respectfully listened to the generals' orders.
"Ordered Er and the others to lead their own troops and horses. Dig more traps between the dirt slopes in front of you. Then lie in ambush and on the dirt slope, and pay attention to stealth. I hope you will be more attentive so that you may atone for your sins. Remember, you only, half an hour." After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he remembered the time and instructed them for a while.
"When the last general receives the order, he will fight bravely to kill the enemy and redeem his merits." The generals got up to receive the order, and then took their subordinates and walked to the dirt slope in front. After all, time is of the essence and there is no room for delay.
Looking at the group of soldiers, after leaving, Liu Sheng walked towards Jia Fu and the group of Spring and Autumn Guard generals: "Everyone, this is the final battle of our Spring and Autumn Guard, and we will need five hundred people to complete a feat with me." But this move, nine deaths, I hope you can think twice. Those who agree to go, step forward".
The three thousand Spring and Autumn Guards, whether they were generals or soldiers, all rode their war horses. The horses' hooves roared, and they all took a step forward.
"You have a difficult matter, and it is useless to go more. So Ben will need the best warriors to accompany me. Please consider it carefully." Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then explained again. After all, what is about to be done is too dangerous.
The three thousand Chunqiu Wei were silent, as if they were silently measuring whether they were the most elite warriors among them. In a short time there were five hundred soldiers, riding horses and striding forward.
Liu Sheng looked at these familiar and unfamiliar faces, and was very moved in his heart. Then he turned his head to look at Yi Hun and commanded loudly: "Yi Hun I order you, take Qi Huaiyuan, Zhao Jian and the rest, two thousand five hundred Spring and Autumn Guards." Behind the two dirt slopes, they lay in ambush and waited for an opportunity to move".
"The subordinates receive the order ......". Yi Hun looked at the remaining Chunqiu Wei, waved his hand and led them, and walked forward. Urging Huaiyuan to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Jian with his eyes. How can the general order issued before the battle be rejected and questioned.
Jia Fu looked at the five hundred people in front of him, and Liu Sheng, thinking of the series of arrangements just now, the slightest bad suddenly turned into a fact, and an idea appeared in front of him, and he was shocked: "Brother Sheng, should you be ......."
"I'm going to take you to attack the enemy's water village. Ah, bless, how dare you come with me. Experience what it's like to be on the line between life and death." Liu Sheng's expression was indifferent, as if he was asking a trivial matter.
Jia Fu was in a hurry, and then looked up at Liu Sheng, as well as the five hundred Spring and Autumn Guards in front of him, and a heroic spirit rose from his heart: "Go, only 30,000 people, outside of this big staff, it's not that I haven't broken through."
"Spring and Autumn Wei listen to the order, target the enemy water village". The corners of Liu Sheng's mouth were slightly upturned, and he turned the horse's head and waved his hand. Together with Jia Fu, he brought more than 500 people. The horse's hooves galloped towards the water village.
