Chapter 723: The Battle of the Yellow River

The waves on the Yellow River were rolling, and in the early morning mist, the warships of the Zhao army broke through the huge waves like dragons, splitting the water and advancing against the current.

Among the many warships of the Zhao army, the flagship five-tooth ship is eye-catching, the five-story ship, the towering stone thrower on the deck, and the hideous bed crossbow, as if occupying half of the river like a giant beast.

'General Qiyu, the clipper ship reported urgently, and the steppe cavalry of the Yinghe Ford army was north of Huojia and repelled by Chai Shao, the general of the Tang Army. His Majesty issued a holy decree that Wang Junkuo, the capital of the weak water prefecture, would be the governor of Hedong Province to control all the people in Hedong and Hanoi. ‘

Now the Governor of Wang Junkuo has led 30,000 cavalry to Hanoi to join the army of Ying Hefu. In addition, His Majesty also ordered Xu Shiji to be the governor of Henan Province to control the soldiers and horses of Henan. ‘?

Cheng Mingzhen nodded and said: "Henan and Hebei soldiers and horses are each controlled by two generals, and it is indeed a clever plan to deal with the Tang Army's north and south armies respectively. But where should our navy belong? ‘

'His Majesty said let General Cheng act cheaply. The general smiled and said.

Cheng Mingzhen smiled and said: "His Majesty wants me to act cheaply, but in my opinion, it is still to cut off the Yellow River pontoon." Preventing the Don army from crossing the river is. ‘

The general also smiled and said, "If it is true that General Cheng understands His Majesty's thoughts, General Cheng still doesn't know, in order to cooperate with General Cheng's war, His Majesty Xià specially sent He Chou, a squire of the Ministry of Works, to help the general." ‘

Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It's really good that there is a waiter. ‘

Speaking of which. Cheng Mingzhen looked at the mist in front of him. Heavy mountains loom on the north bank of the Yellow River. After turning the mountain beam, it is where the Heyang camp of the Tang Army's North Route Army is located.

On the south city of Heyang. Su Dingfang looked at the Tang Army pontoon bridge in the distance.

This time the Tang army was on the Yellow River. Three more pontoon bridges were erected. The Tang army stationed 3,000 soldiers on Zhongtan City and the sandbar in the river, and then built five floating cities on the river with giant trees around the pontoon bridge. Prevent the sneak attack of the upstream and downstream Zhao army.

The floating city is densely covered with stone throwers. Bed crossbow. Arrow towers and city walls were also repaired. At the same time, the Tang army also scuttled several grain ships as a barrier to protect the pontoon bridge.

This qiē is solid. It shows that the Tang army made sufficient precautions against the burning of the pontoon bridge by the Zhao army. This time, it will be an impossible task for Zhao Jun to burn the pontoon bridge again.

Su Dingfang looked at the pontoon bridge, and he had exhausted all kinds of means and methods in the past ten days. Already doing my best. But he was powerless to stop the Tang army from crossing the Yellow River.

Although Xu Shiji had already ordered Su Dingfang to lead the remnants and retreat to Luoyang. But Su Dingfang was unwilling, he had his insistence. Abandoning this Heyang City, which had been held for nearly a month, and letting the Tang army cross the river like this, it was impossible for him to say a word.

Now the morning has arrived. On the other side of the river, the Tang army was already faintly gathered, and it seemed that it was about to cross the river in a big way.

'General! ‘

Su Dingfang glanced back, but saw that all the soldiers in the city behind him had gathered on the city wall.

Su Dingfang said: "I have decided to live and die in this city, although I can't change the situation of the war. But at least it can delay the Tang Army for another day. You are dead or alive in this battle, and if you are the only son in the family, you can retreat. ‘

Hearing Su Dingfang say this, all the three sergeants replied: "General, I am willing to live and die with you." ‘

When Su Dingfang saw this, a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, and he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, brothers. ‘

At present, the 2,000 soldiers in the city are all in the city, and the 500 reinforcements sent from Luoyang, feeling that Su Dingfang is loyal and righteous, also refused to return to Luoyang, and decided to defend the city.

At this time, the Tang army was already in a steady stream, crossing the Yellow River from the pontoon bridge. The Tang army, wearing yellow jackets, rushed to the pontoon bridge with soldiers in their hands. The footsteps shook and the pontoon rumbled. On the north bank, there was also a large area of Tang army gathered there in a black and oppressive manner, waiting to cross the river, looking as if it was endless.

Zhao Jun in the southern city of Heyang saw this, and his expression was stern, but his eyes were full of determination.

I saw that after the Tang soldiers passed the pontoon bridge, they all jumped to the side of the river beach and attacked the southern city of Heyang from all sides.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums under Heyang City were noisy, and the sound was higher and higher.

This siege battle has only been going on for an hour, but it has already entered a semi-heated up. Arrows rained down on the city, and there was a river of blood under the city. Both the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army and the Zhao Army were stunned, they had never seen such a stormy offensive in their lives, nor had they seen such a rock-solid defense.

However, the Tang army had endless backups, while the Zhao army used up one less arrow and one less soldier, and one less soldier was killed.

On the southern city of Heyang, from Su Dingfang to every soldier in the city, he knew this from the moment he started fighting, but he was still fighting desperately.

The sun was already in the sky, and the battle lasted for half a day.

Su Dingfang's battle robe was already covered in blood, and many familiar robes had fallen on the city wall forever and would never wake up again. Although the Zhao army fought very bravely, more than 3,000 Tang troops under the city of Heyang had already crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the beachhead to besiege the city. At the same time, on the pontoon bridge, the Tang army was still crossing the river in a steady stream.

At this moment, Su Dingfang suddenly felt that the Tang army was on the offensive. Just when he felt strange, he saw that in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, countless warships were going straight against the current, forcing the Tang army on the pontoon bridge.

The soldiers fighting fiercely at the head of the city also saw this scene when they saw the Tang army retreating under the city.

Where did this fleet come from, and whose family did it come from? Just when the soldiers asked in their hearts. They saw the fiery red battle flag fluttering in front of the battleship!

'This is our ship!' ‘

'Our reinforcements are coming!' ‘

At this scene, the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao on the city all raised their arms and cheered.
