Chapter Eighty-Five: Sun Jian Crosses the River and Captures Xiaoshan!

Qiantang River, known as Zhejiang Water in ancient times, later Qin Shi Huang ruled the world and established Qiantang County, which is a large river across Huiji and Wu County.

July is the rainy season in Jiangdong, and Sun Jian originally wanted to send troops after this heavy rainy season, but he didn't expect the change in Danyang, so he sent troops in advance.

Tens of thousands of troops all the way south, the momentum is mighty, as long as the Qiantang River is Huiji Xiaoshan County, take Xiaoshan, Huiji will lose the door of defense, can go straight to Shanyin.

As a result, because of the rainy season, for more than a month, the rain did not stop, the Qiantang River rose sharply, the waves were surging, ordinary bamboo rafts and small boats could not cross the river at all, and tens of thousands of troops were trapped in Qiantang County.

At the end of July, on this day, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, the rare sun hung high, the weather was good, Qiantang County, Jiangdong Army Camp, Sun Jian knelt and sat on the top, his face was a little gloomy, and the cold air flashed in his eyes.

The army trapped in the Qiantang River is not only consuming grain and grass, but also has a great impact on the morale of the Jiangdong army, but

"Lord, now is the right time, it's time for us to cross the river!"

A group of generals of the Jiangdong Army gathered, Sun Jing, Cheng Pu, one left and one right sat beside him, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Ling Cao...... Wait for the generals to line up left and right.

"Lord, I have requisitioned all the nearby ships and made five hundred bamboo rafts, as long as you come down, the army can cross the river at any time!" Sun Jing looked at her brother with a kind of respect in her eyes.

"Don't you forget one thing, will the Huiji Navy let us cross the river so easily?" Sun Jian's biggest fear now is that when he crossed the river, he was attacked by Huiji's navy.

The Huiji Navy Army, which is a huge fleet dominated by a building ship, is the first in Jiangdong in terms of combat effectiveness.

"My lord, there is one thing that is very strange."

At this time, Han Dang stood up and said: "In Xiaoshan County, on the other side of the Qiantang River, there are about tens of thousands of Huiji troops, but there is no trace of their naval army. ”

"No trace? It's unlikely, Guo Yi and Wang Lang are not stupid, with such a powerful fleet, they won't put it away and watch the show. Could it be hiding in some corner, waiting to give us a fatal blow! Cheng Pu stroked his beard, muttered for a while, and said cautiously.

"It's not impossible, but although the Qiantang River is not small, it is not as complete as the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to completely hide such a powerful fleet under our noses!" Han Dang shook his head and said.

"My lord, no matter what, we have to cross the river, if we wait any longer, our soldiers will have no morale." Huang Gai stood up and said loudly.

"Gongfu, you're right, you can't wait any longer, you have to cross the river."

Sun Jian nodded, his eyes sank, and said: "I can't take care of so much now, so let's do it, tonight, we will use the night as a cover to cross the river overnight and attack Xiaoshan." ”

"Lord, willing to be a pioneer!" Ling Cao's eyes moved, he stood up, and said with his hand.

"Okay, Ling Cao, I ordered you to lead 3,000 troops, and tonight, cross the river at the right time and seize the ferry." Sun Jian stood up, his burly body exuding a powerful battle intent, and said.

"No!" Ling Cao nodded firmly.

"A certain led 15,000 troops for the Chinese army, Zu Mao, with you leading 5,000 troops as the left wing, Cheng Pu, you led the army of 5,000 as the right wing, waiting for the vanguard troops to cross the river, wait for the Chinese army to cross the river, and immediately go to prepare."

Since he was ready to cross the river, Sun Jian did not procrastinate, and said loudly.

"No!" The generals, who were already holding their breath, began to be in high spirits, walked out of the big tent, and began to beat the drums and count the troops.

"Youtai, I will leave you 2,000 soldiers and horses, you guard Qiantang, in case there is a change in crossing the river, you can accept us." Sun Jian was still a little worried about the naval army in Huiji.

"No!"

Sun Jing nodded, and saw that there were only two brothers left in the big tent, so he relaxed and said with a smile: "Big brother, Bo Fu is still young after all, will it be too childish for you to let Bo Fu preside over the war in Danyang." ”

"Bo Fu has already performed the crown salute a year ago, he is an adult, he should be in charge." Sun Jian sat down and said softly.

"Then you should also leave a few people for him to assist, you will pull down Cheng Pu and a few of them in one fell swoop, even if Bo Fu has the ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it alone." Sun Jing sighed and said, he is still very optimistic about the nephew of the brave three armies.

"Since you want to be in charge alone, Bo Fu should have Bo Fu's team." Sun Jian's eyes flashed with a deep light, smiled slightly, handed over an official business in his hand, and said, "Don't underestimate that kid, this bastard is completely stealing the limelight from him, you see." ”

"Good boy, the tiger father has no dogs! Our army here is still trapped in Qiantang, and they have won three battles and three victories, and they have taken nearly one-third of the county seat under the jurisdiction of Danyang in one go. ”

Sun Jing looked at the official business and showed a smile of surprise.

"Originally, I wanted them to just enter Danyang with the vanguard and fight a tug-of-war in Danyang, and wait until we solved the Huiji, and then put Danyang in a nest, but I didn't expect this kid Bofu to give a big surprise."

Sun Jian's expression also showed a rare appreciation, and said: "The move of occupying Moling is good, so that Danyang will not have to worry about it anymore, and it will inevitably become something in our pocket." ”

"Big brother, they can't be underestimated, now that the main force of the Danyang soldiers is still there, they are still a little dangerous." Sun Jing said cautiously.

"If you don't see the wind and rain, how can you become a talent!"

Sun Jian's eyes were cold, he stood up, looked at the blue sky outside, and said softly: "The most important thing now is to take down the Huiji, and you can't let your son look down on you as an old man, tonight, you must cross the river successfully." ”

Late at night, the moon was overcast, and dozens of small boats, with 3,000 Jiangdong elite soldiers, quietly went ashore at a dark ferry in Xiaoshan County.

"A little too smooth?"

Ling Cao was dressed in black iron armor and held a big gun tightly in his hand, this time crossing the river made him feel a little too simple, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What about the water army that will be Ji?" ”

"General, there is a military camp at the ferry, guarded by 3,000 guards." At that moment, one of the scouts walked back and whispered.

"Immediately send the order down, all the troops prepare, kill it, within half an hour, the battle must be settled, occupy the ferry, welcome the general to cross the river, if there is any retreat, there will be no forgiveness." Ling Cao straightened his expression, put all these doubts aside, his eyes crossed the essence, and he roared in a low voice.

At the beginning, he took more than hundreds of Hangzhou people to join Sun Jian, because Yan Baihu was in trouble with Yu Hang, and he was forced to be helpless, but now he has gone from a white Ding, half a year, experienced the Qiantang County Order, to the current pioneer general, all the way to the rocket rise, so that he has a kind of gratitude to Sun Jian.

"No!"

The ** military marquis beside Ling Cao nodded firmly, and his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring.

……

Ferry, the camp of the Huiji army, the general of the defending army, Xiao Han, did not sleep, under the oil lamp, looking at a book of soldiers, stationed here for half a month, Sun Jian looked menacing, tens of thousands of elites made him palpitate, but he never crossed the river, which made him a little relaxed.

"Kill!"

"Jiangdong's soldiers, kill me!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming shout of killing rang out around the barracks, shaking the entire camp.

"It's not good, it's careless, the Jiangdong Army actually crossed the Qiantang River at night." When Xiao Han heard such shouts and killings, he felt a chill in his heart, stood up, put on his armor, picked up his weapon, and rushed out.

At this time, the entire military camp of the Huiji Army was a sea of fire, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army lit fires everywhere, countless soldiers poured in, and thousands of soldiers of the Huiji Army were taken by surprise, and in less than a moment, the state had lost more than half of its troops.

"What's going on?" Xiao Han strode out, directly picked up a deputy general next to him, and asked loudly.

"General, the Jiangdong Army has stolen the camp, and more than half of our soldiers have been lost, so quickly order a retreat!" This deputy general had a bitter face, the Jiangdong Army was originally an elite soldier who was more elite than Huiji County, and with the night attack, the Huiji Army couldn't stop it at all.

"Damn, a certain Xiao Han is here, the son of the Ji, hurry up and move closer to me." Xiao Han climbed a horse and shouted loudly at the chaotic battlefield, wanting to unite the scattered Huiji army.

"Thief, suffer death!" When Ling Cao saw this, he immediately rode his horse and held a gun and killed him.

The martial arts of the two were originally between the two of them, and after dozens of rounds, both were defeated, both fell off their horses, the Jiangdong Army was overwhelming, and the Huiji Army was stabbed off the horse after Xiao Han, the last trace of morale was gone, only less than 300 people escaped, and the rest were either killed in battle or sneak attacked.

"Finally won the ferry, by the way, what about the enemy general who fought with me?"

The battle was solved within half an hour, Ling Cao took a hit on his arm, and as soon as he bandaged it, he asked a military marquis.

"After he was stabbed off his horse, there was chaos everywhere, there was no one among the corpses and captives, he must have been rescued by a few of his own soldiers." A soldier reported.

"Count him on his fate, pass the order down, immediately tidy up the battlefield, and lead the lord to cross the river!" Ling Cao didn't dare to hurt his arm, and said loudly.

"No!" Everyone said excitedly.

……

After Sun Jian's army crossed the river, it only took three days to sweep Xiaoshan County and stand firm in Huiji.
