Chapter 49: Retreating Pursuers (4)

Before Zhang Ye and Chak arrived at the river, the scouts had already measured the shallow part of the water.

The width of the Xingcheng River is not large, only about 100 meters, and some soldiers and war horses in shallow water can cross the river, and there is no need to build a pontoon bridge.

The time to pursue the enemy was very short, and after Zhang Ye and Chak sent their cavalry to verify the depth of the water and make sure that there was no ambush on the opposite bank, they began to direct the cavalry troops to start crossing the river in an orderly manner.

The temperature of the river was slightly cool, but the height of the river was only below the thighs of the horses.

Further inferences were made to reach the neck of the soldier at the deepest point of the river.

That is, in a quarter of an hour, Zhang Ye and Chake's cavalry troops had successfully crossed the Xingcheng River.

Just as Zhang Ye and Chak led the cavalry across the Xingcheng River in formation, and were waiting for all the infantry to cross the river, the two of them heard a muffled sound.

Zhang Ye's heart was inexplicably twitching.

Although Zhang Ye didn't think of what this muffled sound meant, Zhang Ye felt a bad feeling.

"Big ...... My lord...... That...... What is that?? ”

The cavalry beside Zhang Ye stammered and pointed upstream.

After Zhang Ye and Chak heard the words of the cavalry beside them, they immediately looked in the direction of the upstream following the direction of the cavalry fingers beside them.

Zhang Ye and Chak saw in their eyes that a white practice rose from the upstream river, and this white practice continued to rise, and began to move down rapidly with a lightning speed.

"Quick, order the soldiers who have not yet gone down the river to retreat quickly, and the soldiers who are crossing the river in front of them to speed up."

Zhang Ye shouted hysterically, he had already figured out what Bai Lian was at this time, it was the big water that was suddenly released after the upstream was intercepted.

Seeing that Bai Lian quickly enlarged, Zhang Ye's heart was clenched.

Zhang Ye didn't expect that such a situation would happen at such a critical moment.

The water, which is several meters high, is mixed with floating trees, rushing down like a flood.

The soldiers who were crossing the Xingcheng River were dumbfounded, and they began to panic......

In such a situation, they only have one thought in their minds, that is, to run fast, as long as they can run to the riverbank, then they may have a chance to survive.

After falling into despair, most people had this thought, and the formation suddenly went into chaos.

The formation was chaotic, these soldiers were like dumplings boiled in a pot, you pushed me, and the soldiers who could have run to the shore were pushed and poured into the water by the soldiers behind them......

Zhao Yun and Han Yu looked at the roaring river, and the level of horror in their hearts was not inferior to that of Zhang Ye and Chak.

As the executors of the tactics, the two of them have always had an inexplicable suspicion of Gongsun Xu's tactics.

Although they had heard of the Xingcheng River when they were in Xingcheng, they had never heard of a place suitable for damming in the upper reaches of the Xingcheng River.

The three hundred cavalry sent out by Zhao Yun were in accordance with the arrangement given by Gongsun Xu, and they took the first step to the upper reaches of the Xingcheng River to arrange the interception.

As soon as Zhang Ye and Chak's pursuers crossed half of the men, they began to open the improvised dam they had built, allowing the Xingcheng River to roar down from the upper reaches.

This kind of tactic has not been unheard of before, but Gongsun Xu has been in Xingcheng and has never been to this side of the Xingcheng River at all.

When defending the city, they didn't think it was anything to come up with a formation they didn't understand and win a big victory, but now they came up with such a ploy dozens of miles away from Xingcheng, which was worthy of their suspicion.

The rushing river poured down in an instant, and they had no doubts about the strategy given by Gongsun Xu at this moment.

Zhao Yun and Han Yu did not ambush to the other side of the river, but quietly crossed the river from a forest area in the middle reaches and put the ambush location on the other side of the river.

Just as the water poured downstream, Zhao Yun's hand swung down heavily, and two hundred cavalry roared out of the woods three miles away, rushing towards Zhang Ye's infantry, which was already in chaos.

Zhao Yun knew in his heart that this was the best time, and when the river poured down from the upstream, it was when Zhang Yebu's army panicked.

The bank of the Xingcheng River is gentle, and the most suitable thing is the impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry of Zhang Ye and Chak are on the other side of the river, and it is impossible to rescue the infantry on this side.

When Han Yu saw Zhao Yun's cavalry attacking, he also waved his hand and let his five hundred infantry troops come out of the woods.

Han Yubu's way of attacking was different from Zhao Yun's, his infantry marched neatly, listing the battle formation mode and slowly pressing in.

Gongsun Xu had already made it very clear when he explained these things to Zhao Yun and Han Yu that Zhao Yun's troops must ensure flexibility and mobility.

As long as the enemy on the rebel side enters the urn according to the plan, then there is basically no big problem.

The cavalry who went upstream to build a simple dam would quickly rush to the battlefield while leaving more than a dozen people upstream to continuously release wood downstream.

Wave after wave of troops will put considerable pressure on the rebel rear army.

After the rebel soldiers were ambushed, their morale was very low, and after several rushes, the fighting spirit of those soldiers was bound to be robbed, and they could crush them with joy.

Regarding the rebel crossing the river, Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun Hanyu also talked about technical analysis, if the rebels' infantry crossed the river first, then they would not move at the ambush site, and wait for his cheap Lao Tzu's brigade to kill back before considering attacking without attacking.

If the rebel cavalry had crossed the river first, the two of them would have struck down the panicked infantry as soon as the upper barrage had been opened.

Gongsun Xu thought very clearly in his heart, Xingcheng had been firmly grasped by Gongsun Xu, and asked Fang Yu and Zhao Yun to send grain and grass to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan's military spirit was stable, there was no shortage of food, as long as it was after a period of rest, Gongsun Zhan's troops had the ability to fight.

His cheap Lao Tzu's character is even more thorough, this time he was chased and killed by Xiaoxiao like Zhang Ye and Chack, it is definitely a shame, as long as he removes all the worries in Gongsun Zhan's heart, Zhang Ye and Chack will definitely be used by Gongsun Chan to be angry.

It's just that Gongsun continued to ask Fang Yu to send a letter to Cheap Lao Tzu, clearly pointing out that his cheap Lao Tzu must not be anxious, and let his cavalry recover for a period of time before launching an attack on Zhang Ye and Chak's rebels.

Whether the rebels are cavalry or infantry units on the other side of the river, it will be a tool for cheap Lao Tzu to vent his anger.

For the rebels to be divided into two sections, Gongsun Xu is extremely sure.

He asked the cavalry sent by Zhao Yun to stay in the upper part of the river and put wood downward, just to prevent the troops who crossed the river from crossing the river from crossing back into the river.

After the simple dam was lifted, the river rose a little, but it did not take much time to cross the Xingcheng River again, and as long as his soldiers kept dropping large logs into the river, the rebel soldiers would not have ventured to cross the river anyway.

The location of the dam he had chosen was far upstream, and it would take quite some time for the rebel cavalry to go upstream to stop them from putting wood.

This time is enough for Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zhan to give full play to their troops.

According to Gongsun Xu's speculation, if things go well, he and Zhao Yun's troops will even be able to cripple the rebel force that pursued Gongsun Zhan.
