Chapter 6 of the middle volume of the blood stream flows into the Yellow River
On the third day of Shezhou's landing, a small group of soldiers in the forward of the hussars saw the figure of the Qin scouts for the first time.
They wandered unhurriedly outside the range of the Jin army's bows and arrows, and as soon as they realized that the Jin army had the intention of capturing them, they immediately slipped away into the distance, but did not completely disappear.
Then they released an eagle.
It should have a letter tied to his leg.
Guo Xu was very nervous.
This was the first time he led his troops out as the leader of the team, and it was two days away from Tongguan in front and five days away from the Tai Lieutenant's large army in the back.
The hussars escorted 300 carts of food, and if there was a mistake, the soldiers on the front line of Tongguan who could not eat enough would be even worse.
Liu Yu comforted him and said that you just throw off your feet and stride away, the main force of the Qin State was torn into several pieces, stumbling on the front line of Tongguan, Puban and Wuguan, and you have to leave enough manpower to watch Chang'an, and you can't even even a single soldier to ambush you.
Even if you barely draw out manpower, in front of the strong bows and crossbows of the hussars, big guns and long lances, and in front of the victorious army of Beifu who has just defeated the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, can you still get any straw?
Guo Xu believes that Taiwei will not be wrong.
But he has been accustomed to being Chen Song's subordinate for a long time, and now he has to take these brothers alone through the unpredictable battlefield, give all kinds of reports and requests for yes or no, and he must not hesitate, and he is still apprehensive.
His mind was already slow, and he couldn't figure out how to be foolproof after he set off. Today, I was stimulated by the scouts of the Qin State, and in a hurry, I suddenly opened my mind.
No matter how much you love food, you must have the idea that you would rather fold grain than soldiers.
As long as there are people, food must be there.
If people are gone, food will not be saved.
Originally, the grain cart walked in the middle, and the officers and soldiers escorted it on both sides. Now change the course and let the carts go on both sides, with the brigade of men and horses sandwiched between the carts, two crossbowmen on the sacks of grain in each cart, and the cavalry escorted on the outermost layer.
The newly promoted mung bean, with the people of the building, spread far in front of the main force on both sides, if there is really any abnormal movement, mung bean issued an early warning, enough large troops to wait.
Guo Xu himself led the strongest fifty cavalrymen in the team, with a bow and a hammer at his waist, and walked at the front of the team.
I walked for a whole day with thorns at the top of the corner, and I didn't encounter the imaginary enemy until dark, and I could enter Tongguan tomorrow after another day's travel.
When the clouds are red, it's time to set up camp and rest. Across a row of low hills is the Yellow River. The lieutenant wanted to cross the hills and camp on the bank of the river, so that it would be convenient to bury pots to cook and drink horses. But since Guo Xu didn't agree to light the fire at all, and ordered that he could only eat dry food for dinner, he simply set up camp with his back to the hills.
Take the car as the village, bury the antlers outside the wall, and dig the trench outside the antlers.
Bright whistle and dark whistle, no one is missing.
The soldiers are already very tired, but they still have to finish an hour's hard work before they can rest.
It's better to lie down than to die.
At night, the clouds fill the night sky, and the moon is not visible.
Those who did not stand guard all lay down, and as soon as they lay down, they snored loudly.
Guo Xu was lying in the tent, although he was holding a knife, he still couldn't fall asleep. I wanted to wake up my soldiers and see that he was sleeping like a pig on all fours, so I gently got up and took the iron mallet and looked around the barracks. Yes, no one sleeps at the Sentinels.
After walking to the back of the camp, he climbed the low knoll and sat down beside a bush.
In front of him is the Yellow River, flowing eastward speechlessly, like endless men's blood.
The direction in which the water flows is the source of Guo Xu's sorrow.
The clouds still did not disperse, and the moon in the water could not be seen.
The moon is not enough. Also add a small one to the word "month". It's not enough to have "Xiao", but also to add a "Yan" next to it.
When he went ashore three days ago, Guo Xu looked back at the fleet, and the brothers waved goodbye on the deck.
He didn't see Sun Qiao come out of the cabin, and he didn't have time to see if she had opened the porthole.
At this moment, the water of the Yellow River in front of her is flowing towards her.
Will she sing tonight?
Does she know I can't sleep upstream?
Even, will she think of me in a flash?
How can I make her feel that the water of the Yellow River is different tonight?
It seems to be different. The river that had been calm just now suddenly became noisy. It's not the rainy season, the Yellow River won't skyrocket, why is the sound of water agitated. If you listen closely, it looks like the familiar sound of paddling, followed by the sound of an anchor, then a low cheer and the sound of many people stepping on shallow water to go ashore.
Guo Xu subconsciously leaned down.
Who will sail at this time, and will anchor halfway in this non-port, non-port and non-market town?
Friend or foe?
He shrunk down and silently crawled in the direction of the noise.
At this time, the half moon showed its face from the middle of the two clouds, and the Yellow River instantly sparkled.
Guo Xu saw a large group of people busy on the riverbank, both here and on the other side. On the river between the two banks, three rows of sheep and hundreds of rafts threw stone blocks to form an intermittent pontoon bridge, and some people sang in a low voice what the trumpet was transmitting.
Finally, I saw clearly, it was three iron chains.
Guo Xu understood: these people had to form three secret ropes with iron chains and hide them under the water.
Although Taiwei landed with the main force, there were still many grain ships by water, and they had to send supplies to the front line of Tongguan. On the Luoyang side, in addition to delivering food by land, the water has not stopped. If the grain ship is stopped by these hidden chains, it will not be able to move forward, not to mention, it will turn sideways, be washed downstream, and sink its own fleet. There is no reason for the Jin army to commit suicide in this way, these people who are as busy as ants at night can only be the people of Qin.
The people of the Qin State did not know where to find these rafters and craftsmen, they were very fast, the moon did not deflect much, and they had already completed this water trap.
The sheepskin raft came ashore, and the chains were half-sunk into the water, and it was not visible from the water at all.
After the Qin soldiers completed this project, they had no intention of leaving, they spread out a sheepskin felt blanket at the foot of the hills slightly away from the water, and lay on the ground, and soon snored.
Guo Xu understood that they not only wanted to stop the grain ship, but also wanted to intercept and kill the baggage soldiers.
The moon overlooked a delicate scene in this small piece of land: a row of hills, two mortal enemies, one ready to go to the other's territory to conquer the city, the other ready to cut the other's esophagus on the river, separated by a thin layer of window paper, except for a lovesick officer in the middle of the night, none of whom knew each other's existence.
Guo Xu climbed down from the hill and secretly thanked Xiaoqiao:
Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have intercepted such a heavy hostile situation.
Quietly got into the tent, shook the personal soldiers, and asked him to quietly call all the personal soldiers, and go separately to call the main building and the deputy building. By the way, don't forget to inform the groom immediately and cage all the horses.
The main building and the deputy entered the tent and received the order.
Quietly called all the officers and soldiers, don't be long, don't carry bows and arrows, everyone is armed with short soldiers.
No orders, no drumming, no trumpets.
Don't line up, fight on your own.
Mung Bean reminded softly: The barracks can't be empty, in case of a mistake, you can come back and hold on.
Of course, you can't go out of the nest. That's you, Mung Bean! Don't move your building, and set up your bow and crossbow on the wall.
The Qin army on the other side of the hill had a long snake along the river, so the Jin army was divided into three parts, one was far away from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to hold down the snake's head, and the other was to hold the snake's tail, and Guo Xu led people to cut off the snake's waist. It was agreed to use the snake's head as a signal to sing the hammer, and the three teams pounced at the same time.
The sword in the moonlight looks very sinister.
The faces of each Night Raider were very pale.
The Qin people didn't actually put a single sentry on the hills, probably they themselves were plotters, and they didn't believe that somebody was plotting against them by chance.
Looking down from the hills, Qin Bing slept very soundly.
No one should dream that they are in danger.
Guo Xu felt that he had waited all his life, and anxiously scolded the farthest officers and soldiers, rabbit cubs, are you going to go to the Western Regions to outflank you?
At this moment, an unambiguous chirp came to mind in the distant night sky, like a bitter phlegm spat out by the Grim Reaper.
There seemed to be an avalanche on the hills on the banks of the Yellow River, and the soldiers of the Jin army swooped down with white blades, and in the blink of an eye, the white blades encountered sleeping, half-awake, open-eyed, struggling, groping for weapons, and retreating in panic.
The night raid begins with silence. The first scream was followed by an earth-shattering scream.
After the initial panic and sudden death, the Qin army came to their senses and took up their weapons to fight the night raiders. It's just that most of the weapons they brought with them were long guys and bows and arrows ready to deal with the sailors, which were too much in the fierce hand-to-hand combat.
But the commander of the Qin army, apparently seasoned in battle, quickly gathered a group of soldiers to form a line of defense with long lances and halberds, and tried to hold off the Jin army, while gathering archers behind the line. At the sound of the order, the soldiers of the defense line quickly crouched down, and the archers fired three arrows, sweeping down the soldiers of the two sides who were in a mess.
As long as the Jin army can be suppressed for a moment, at least a few commanders can leave the place of death on a sheepskin raft.
Guo Xu had just knocked down a Qin soldier with an iron mallet when an arrow hit his helmet and fell down with a bang. Before he could give the order, the experienced Beifu soldiers were already shouting:
"Rush over and take out the archers, take out the archers!"
But the shouts of killing were immediately thinned by the locust-like arrows.
Guo Xu was about to lean over and crash into it, when the river behind Qin Jun suddenly lit up, and the lights lit up with a gong.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin and Jin countries were stunned.
They were so focused on fighting that they didn't notice that a fleet of ships had quietly arrived at the battlefield down the river.
Before the archers of the Qin army could choose which direction to aim, they were wiped out by the crossbows on the ship.
The ships lowered their pedals, and groups of soldiers poured onto the riverbank.
There was no agreement between the two Jin armies on land and water, but they were so delicate that they met in the battlefield, like a hammer meeting an anvil.
Although the Qin army is like iron, it has fallen into a desperate situation.
Fight to the death.
No one spins the heel.
Guo Xu held a sword in one hand and waved a mallet in the other, watching one by one Qin warriors fall, and he couldn't bear to kill such loyal soldiers.
Exiting the Blood River of the Mountain of Corpses, he stood on a small hill and shouted:
"Brother Qin Jun, you have no way to escape, don't fight! Surrender! ”
The Jin soldiers also shouted while fighting.
If they knew that this was the Yulin Cavalry of the Qin State, the children of the nobles wearing armor, they would not have insulted their opponents by persuading them to surrender before they died.
The soldiers of the Qin State all knew that they were besieged by the regiments, and all of them were angry with King Kong, and all of them wanted to fight quickly and die.
The country will be broken.
The family will be ruined.
The community will be abolished.
Jongmyo will be destroyed.
There is such a backwater battle, although the man dies, you are honored.
Two thousand Qiang people fell, and a brigade of ghosts stood up.
The moonlight once again burst through the clouds, and she saw streams of blood bubbling into the Yellow River.
The shouting stopped.
Guo Xu found the general of the Qin army in the pile of corpses, this person was not dead, but he was hit by a sword in the abdomen, his left arm was cut off, and he was already dying.
Guo Xu helped him up and heard him say in a weak voice:
"I hate it!"
Guo Xu thought that he should hate himself for being too careless, so he didn't take the slightest precaution. But even if he was wary of an attack from the shore, how could he be silently following him from the water?
"Can you leave your name? We'll write for you to use the spiritual position. ”
This person should have seen that Guo Xu had no sarcasm. A solemn look appeared on his face, his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and he said intermittently:
"Great Qin Kingdom Feather Forest Cavalry Commander Shi Yao Yao Qia!"
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
As soon as Guo Xu reached out and closed Yao Qia's eyes, he heard someone behind him:
"Anyway, I'm going to cut off my head, why did I waste all that energy?"
When I looked back, I was shocked.
It's Shen Linzi.
