The oars rowed quickly, the hull of the boat floated across the water like a shuttle, and the Youzhou sergeants on the boat kept taking arrows from their leather bags, looking up to the sky and shè.

The arrows drew a trajectory from the air, and when they landed on the Tang army's position, hundreds of people suddenly ran around in fright.

Wang Mahan showed a smile, the scale of the Tang military camp on the shore is not large, and the number of people should not be much. At this time, it was already possible to hear the gong in the Tang military camp, and the Tang soldiers in armor dispersed the people, and stood on the river beach with bows and crossbows in their hands.

The Tang army stood in three rows.

And then there was a pop!

The arrows were densely packed, and the crossbowmen of the Tang army also began to counterattack.

"Quick!"

When the boat crossed the river to two-thirds of the way, thousands of soldiers and soldiers also went into the water with leather bags, and they followed the boat to swim across the river.

The boats searched on the bank of the river for a long time, and there were only a dozen of them, so the main force to cross the river was still these troops holding leather bags.

The army crossed the river and swam very fast, but at this time, there was a clicking sound from the Tang army's camp tent.

Wang Mahan's face changed, and he said in a lost voice: "Damn, there is actually a stone thrower." ”

In the camp of the Tang Army, three single-tip guns equipped with four-wheeled mobile self-propelled guns were carried out, and the single-tip guns were so well hidden that they were never discovered. This single cannon was a devastating weapon for the Youzhou army that crossed the river.

The Tang army crossed the river and the defenders also wrapped cotton cloth on the arrowheads, and the arrows were like flowing fire, cutting through the sky.

Under this flowing fire, it was another scene, the stone bullets thrown by the stone throwing machine smashed down overwhelmingly, and the Youzhou troops on the ship were all crossbowmen, with no armor on their bodies, and they were killed and wounded under the stone bullet strike.

The Tang army's rockets flew by, flickering on the water, and occasionally a small boat full of Youzhou troops could be seen sinking in the river. The soldiers struggled on the river, and most of the warriors were northerners who did not know water.

Despite the casualties, the Youzhou army had the advantage in numbers, and thousands of leather bags floated to the opposite bank and quickly crossed the river.

After arriving at the bank of the river, it was as if the Tang army had set up a rope that could not swim across, so the soldiers had to jump off the knee-high river and walk ashore. If the river is crossed half a day later, the enemy will push the iron rope ten feet in front, and the soldiers can only cross the river with water.

The river was biting, but the soldiers of the Youzhou Army gritted their teeth with blood, stepped into the water, and rushed to the river beach.

The Tang army set up a layer of barracks with earthen bags on the side of the river beach, where a row of crossbowmen was organized, and under the chaos of arrows, a row of soldiers fell on the edge of the river beach, and the river was quickly dyed red.

Yikes!

Wang Mahan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so angry." ”

The generals also said: "No way, although our army has 30,000 people, but there are so many ferries, it is not easy to cross the river." It's an oil war. ”

Eto on the side said: "General, this casualty is nothing to us, my people are all warriors who are not afraid of death." ”

When the words fell, the soldiers who had already grabbed a piece of land on the beachhead had already gathered together, and as the boat reached the shore, the soldiers of Youzhou County jumped over the boat, and under the night, the Youzhou soldiers with soap towels on their heads, as well as the soldiers on their bodies, began to attack the Tang army's position like a black tide.

The arrows of the Tang army were dense like rain, and after the soldiers in front fell to the ground with a pop, the soldiers behind continued to step forward without hesitation, even if they were the first ones.

Even if he was shè to the ground, he still crawled forward.

Forward, forward, breaking through the riverbank.

The soldiers of Youzhou approached the Tang army, and they all pulled out their knives and fought in the battle.

The soldiers of Youzhou were like crazy, the white knives went into the red knives and pulled out, and some of the soldiers were cut off by the Tang army, but they were still moving forward bravely, and blood was splashed on all sides.

Suddenly, the mud on the river beach turned into blood plasma, and the limbs on the beach were everywhere.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a fierce battle." The crowd couldn't help but be staggered.

Wang Ma Han, who was watching from the sidelines, and the generals of the Han army were suddenly in awe of the brave expressions of the soldiers.

Yan Yelie was also impressed by the bravery of the Youzhou sergeant, he thought that the Han army was only longer than crossbow arrows, and shorter than close combat, but he didn't expect that in the white-knuckle battle of crossing the river, it was still so good at fighting.

However, the Tang army on the other side is also a tenacious army, under the joint impact of the Youzhou army, the front line has not collapsed, and it is still guarding the front of the stone-throwing truck. Let the stone-throwing carts of your own army throw bombs and bombard the Youzhou army that is crossing the river.

The other side's backup was not allowed to go ashore comfortably, the two sides fought each other's flesh and blood, and the Tang army did not give an inch to defend it, like an iron wall in front of them.

The casualties of the Youzhou army without armor were far greater than those of the Tang army, which was armed to the teeth.

This will even Xue Wanche was colorful, and said: "How can this Tang army be so good at fighting, we attack Taiyuan, when we leave the stone, the Tang army will be defeated in one battle." ”

Wang Mahan reprimanded: "Why bother to grow the morale of others, where is our army inferior." ”

At this moment, after the camp of the Don army, the drums sounded.

The three hundred troops who had swam across the other bank before went around to the Tang army camp and launched an attack, and the enemy was attacked on their backs, and at this moment the Tang army's defense line finally could not support it, and the last trace of resistance also collapsed.

The Tang troops defending the camp were all surrounded, and the opposing side fought fiercely for a while, most of them were killed, and the rest were captured.

Immediately, Wang Mahan gave an order, and his subordinates built a pontoon bridge before dawn, and immediately sent someone to tell Li Chongjiu that he could lead the main force of the army to cross the river from here.

Li Chongjiu rode over the pontoon bridge, surrounded by a group of cavalry.

Li Chongjiu looked at the mudflats where last night's bloody battle was still in disarray, and immediately turned back to Wang Mahan and asked, "How were the casualties last night?" ”

"There were more than 300 casualties, and 300 Tang troops were annihilated, and there were 300 civilians."

"Well done." Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice.

Hearing Li Chongjiu's commendation, Wang Mahan, and Yan Yelie couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Li Chongjiu first praised his subordinates, and then said: "Is the Tang army's resistance fierce? ”

Xue Wanche stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Shanggu Gong, we have interrogated the Tang army guarding the village, it is very elite, which is different from what we encountered before. ”

"Oh?" Li Chongjiu pressed his horse and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Xue Wanche said: "Please go to the valley to cross the river." ”

After Li Chongjiu crossed the river, he came to a camp enclosed by a curtain, but saw soldiers standing with guns all around.

The generals on the side opened the curtain, and after entering, Li Chongjiu saw dozens of people covered in blood, their hands tied behind their backs, and sitting on the ground.

Seeing Li Chongjiu enter, these people all looked at each other, glaring angrily, full of hostility.

When the Youzhou sergeant on the side saw it, he whipped it over and shouted, "Let you see, let you see." ”

"Straight sissy thief!" Among the Tang army prisoners, there were also those who were not afraid of death and screamed, and then they were beaten even worse.

Li Chongjiu looked at these captives and saw that one-third of them had the characteristics of Fanren blood, and from the accent of a few sentences, it could be recognized as the tone of Guanzhong's speech.

"Is it a Tang Army soldier from Guanzhong?" Li Chongjiu asked.

"Exactly."

"I see." Li Chongjiu pondered.

The soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty inherited, the system of Wei and Zhou, and the standards for the selection of government soldiers in the Wei and Zhou periods, all of whom had financial resources and were brave and brave, and more Xianbei children who entered the Central Plains. Before the Sui Dynasty, although the proportion of the Han army in the government soldiers continued to increase, anyone who joined the government soldiers could only have the surname Hu, but not the Han surname.

The military system of the Great Sui Dynasty was based on the principle of maintaining the Chinese and foreign ministers and emphasizing the head and the foot, that is, taking Guanzhong as the weight, and other places as the light, and the whole country was a shape of internal and external lightness. Therefore, most of the Yingyang offices are located in Guanzhong, which is controlled by the Guanlong Shi clan and the Beishi clan.

After Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he received the support of the Guanlong clan, and these most elite divisions of the Great Sui Dynasty belonged to him.

And this Tang army is obviously a government soldier from Guanzhong. Its combat effectiveness is completely different from the defenders in the previous battles with Li Chongjiu, you must know that Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, and he has already led the elite of the state to enter the customs, and those who stayed in Taiyuan and were defeated by Li Chongjiu were second- and third-rate township soldiers.

Li Chongjiu looked at these brave men who were held on the ground, and couldn't help but think of the elite army that destroyed the Turks, Goguryeo, swept away the heroes, and looked down on the world in later generations.

"Whose subordinates are they?"

"It's been interrogated, it's Wang Xingmin, the general of Zuotunwei! Just came from Guanzhong, there are 2,000 people. Xue Wanche said.

"Fortunately, we didn't go to Baibi, Li Shimin led 30,000 Guanzhong soldiers." Ji Chuan couldn't help but say.

Wang Mahan said on the side: "You don't have to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Our army is not bad at all. ”

At this moment, a soldier came in a hurry and said outside the tent: "Qiqi Shanggu Gong, a letter from Taiyuan, 100,000 urgent!" ”

Li Chongjiu immediately went out of the account, opened the letter and took a look, and immediately rubbed the letter paper.

"Could it be that something big happened to Shanggu Gongtai in Taiyuan?" Xue Wanche asked.

Li Chongjiu said: "Zhao Wanhai failed to attack Hengshan County, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, and now Li ...... Princess Pingyang is leading 20,000 horses and horses straight to Shangdang County, and it is expected to arrive here the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect Zhao Wanhai to be able to wipe out Li Zhiwan's army of 30,000, but he only hoped that the other party would take advantage of the locals, constantly harass them, cut off the road, and trapped Li Zhiwan in Hengshan County. Who knows, even so, Zhao Wanhai still failed.

"The women's army under Li Sanniang's command is also a soldier of the Guanzhong government." Ji Chuan said that Li Zhiwan raised 70,000 troops in Guanzhong and was also placed as a government soldier.

This time, Li Zhiwan came out of the town of Taiyuan from Guanzhong and led 30,000 horses.

The Hengshan thief Zhao Wanhai's army was annihilated, and Li Zhiwan's reinforcements were arriving, and the two pieces of news came together.

Now Li Chong's 930,000 army has crossed the river halfway, and the main force of Li Tang has been assembled on the other side of the river.

But if it is a battle, once Li Zhiwan's 20,000 troops arrive the day after tomorrow, will Li Chongjiu be able to fight now? (To be continued.) )
