Chapter 485: Half-crossing

Wei Feng rushed back late at night on the fourth day after Tuobayi's defeat, that is, the day after Tuoba Yi woke up from a coma, and quietly landed fifty miles north of Tianjin, and learned that Tuoba Yi had not retreated, and was immediately ecstatic, leading a total of 40,000 light cavalry and crossbow cavalry to the rear of the Wei army camp!

"Bang Bang~~" Before the sky was bright, a rapid gong sounded in the village, and Tuoba Yi reflexively jumped up from the bed, ran out of the road in a few steps, and said hurriedly: "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest grandson Fei just ran over, panting and said: "King Wei, the big thing is not good, the back road of our army was cut off by the Jin army at night!" ”

"What?" Tuoba Yi exclaimed, "How many people are there?" ”

The eldest grandson said with a fat face: "There are thirty or forty thousand!" ”

Tuoba Yi's face, which had already recovered some blood, instantly turned snow-white, and the sea of consciousness was swirling again, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say: "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”

Tuoba Yi and the eldest grandson Fei Xing hurriedly rushed to the back village, about four or five miles away, the Jin cavalry was dense, there were indeed more than 40,000 people, some were on guard, some were feeding the horses, and some were hurrying to eat, obviously just arrived, what made Tuoba Yi even more frightened was that another two hundred horses were only about three hundred steps away from their camp, and the leader was Wei Feng!

Wei Feng hurriedly arched his hand, and said with a smile: "General Tuoba, don't come to harm?" ”

"Not good!" The eldest grandson patted his head fiercely: "We have been tricked, General Wei did not leave, but ambushed nearby, King Wei, he must also have an ambush in the bath, the Hebei cavalry is in danger, please send someone to send a message quickly." With the Hebei cavalry firmly guarding Zhongshan, there is no need to come to help! ”

Tuoba Yi said unwillingly: "We are surrounded, if Hebei reinforcements don't come, wouldn't it be a dead end?" ”

The eldest grandson Fei hurriedly persuaded: "King Wei, General Wei came to Tianjin with 70,000 troops, and now there are only more than 40,000 people, where did the 30,000 go?" It must be spread in the bath water, and I want to take advantage of the Hebei cavalry to make a surprise attack! ”

Tuoba Yi asked deceptively: "The bath water is not more than a hundred feet, how to set up an ambush?" ”

The eldest grandson was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, so it was easy to say patiently: "The bath water can't be lurked in advance." But don't forget, King Wei. There is Bai Yangze in the north of Zhongshan, the lake is nearly a thousand miles, and there are many reeds in it, which is a good place for Tibetan soldiers! ”

"This" Tuobayi's face showed a violent struggle!

The eldest grandson said again: "King Wei." Can't take Tianjin. Even these tens of thousands of horses were wiped out. That's not as good as people, there's nothing to say, since I went back to Pingcheng to ask His Majesty for guilt. But Hebei is His Majesty and the general you have gone through more than ten battles to get it, it is related to the foundation of our dynasty, and if Hebei is lost, Hedong is in danger, Yao Xing must first take Luoyang, and then force the Yellow River, General Wei may also attack the Taihang Eight Paths, as long as one path is broken, will drive straight into Hedong, with a small corner of Hedong, how can you resist the soldiers of Qin and Jin? If the east of the river is lost again, I will only be north of Yanmen to the south of Yinshan, there are strong neighbors in the south, and there are Rouran in the north, and my Tuoba clan is going to be wiped out!

King Wei, please forgive your subordinates for being disrespectful, you are surrounded, nothing more than a death, not to mention that there is no chance to break through, but if you lose Hebei, you will become the sinner of the Tuoba clan through the ages, what face do you have under Jiuquan to meet the ancestors of the Tuoba clan? ”

As he spoke, the eldest grandson fell to his knees with a bang!

Tuoba Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly picked up Changsun Fei and said: "General Changsun, Lone almost made a mistake, Lone will send a fast horse to Zhongshan now to make him stick to the city!" ”

Changsun Fei's eyes lit up, but it was only a small one, and then he said bitterly: "If the news is spread in a timely manner, it may be possible to set up a suspicious array to lure Bai Yangze to ambush the soldiers, but it is too late, if it can be a few days earlier, his subordinates should go to Zhongshan to plan, or they can turn defeat into victory, forget it, King Wei will do his best, listen to the destiny of heaven, I hope that God will be my Great Wei!" ”

About 600 miles from Tianjin to Feiru (now Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province), Feng Ba had secretly moved 30,000 troops to garrison Feiru, led by Feng Sufu, and the news that Wei Feng cut off Tuobayi's retreat was transmitted to Feng Sufu late the next night, and in the early morning of the second day, that is, June 21, Feng Sufu led the army to march quickly to the thistle, which was also 600 miles away!

On that day, Xiang Mi, who was transferred by Wei Feng to his side after repeated requests, led 30,000 ambush soldiers to ambush in Baiyangze, a total of 500 boats, and it took two months before and after sneaking into the designated place one after another.

Each boat is standard to carry 65 people, including 10 sailors, 20 ballistamen, 2 throwing and 2 ballista guns, 30 crossbowmen, and the other five are two standard-bearers and three chief and deputy commanders.

At noon, the sun shines directly on the water, and the whole lake area is like a big steamer, although the boat is hidden near the reeds, but the sparse leaves should not block the sun, but block the wind of the lake, making everyone sweat like rain.

Xiang Mi put his hand into the water, and after a while, he dragged a reed with his hand, washed the mud, and bit half of the reed root with a bite, and chewed it vigorously.

Another soldier was so quick that he grabbed a big green shrimp, stuffed it into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and said, "General Xiang, why hasn't Zhongshan moved yet?" How long do we have to lay in ambush? The whole army is out of food! ”

On the one hand, the smaller the ship, the shorter the production cycle, and on the other hand, the hundreds of miles from Danshui to Wuguan are uninhabited, so you don't have to worry too much about concealment.

And from the bath water to the Baiyangze area, Zhongshan and its surrounding villages often have people into the water to fish, so the boat as small as possible to keep hidden, but the small boat loading capacity is also small, in addition to stone bullets, giant arrows, crossbow arrows, but also to carry 65 people, correspondingly, the grain and grass must be carried insufficient, and can not make a fire, the whole army up and down more than 30,000 people, and the temporarily detained fishermen, has been gnawing reed roots and eating raw fish and shrimp for four days!

Xiang Mi glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "If we break the Zhongshan reinforcements, we still have to take Zhongshan by chance, what?" Can't bear this little bit of suffering? I think that when Lao Tzu first joined the general's command, he and the general only took a few hundred brothers to rob large households, and in the middle of the night in the cold winter wax moon, they lurked for several hours without moving."

Xiang Mi gnawed on the reed roots, while boasting endlessly, the nearby sergeants also listened with relish, just when it was hearty, a sentry boat quietly rowed over, a scout excitedly called: "General Xiang, the Zhongshan cavalry has moved, assembled twenty miles upstream, and will soon cross the water by boat!" ”

"Good!" Xiang Mi screamed loudly, threw half of the reed into the water, and shouted: "Let the fishermen go, and the whole army will set off immediately!" ”

One by one, the orders were conveyed to the surroundings, hundreds of boats rushed out of the reeds, and after a short concentration, they rowed towards the upper reaches of the river, about ten miles or so, they had sailed into the bath water, and there were sentinel boats from Zhongshan in the bath to patrol, but there was no time to escape, and they were sunk on the spot by bursts of stone bullets, and the whole army turned a corner after seven miles, just in time to see the Wei army crossing the river halfway!

The Wei army is a division of men and horses, that is, people take boats, after the horses are unsaddled, there is a special person to lead the head horse, leading a group of horses with as little as one or two thousand, and as much as three or five thousand horses swimming across the river, as if God is helping, the Wei army is downstream, and the horses are upstream, which means that there is no obstacle to launch a surprise attack on the Wei army!

Xiang Mi Daxi said: "Brothers, rush forward! ”

"Kill~~" The shouting of killing sounded in an instant, and in the not wide river, every five boats were parallel, and the momentum was mighty!

The huge movement alarmed the Wei people, and the panic spread immediately like a plague, no one expected that a naval army suddenly came out of the downstream, in fact, the Zhongshan defenders also searched the nearby water surface, but Bai Yangze was too big, the radius was thousands of miles, and there were at least hundreds of reed islands in the lake, and the dozens of boats of the Wei people who could not be regarded as a naval army could only be guarded in the estuary at most, but Xiang Mi was not lurking near the estuary at the beginning, but after getting the news that Wei Feng had transferred to Ma Shijin, It gradually moved to the estuary area to lurk.

On the contrary, the defenders of Zhongshan received the news that Wei Feng led the main force to retreat, so even the routine search of the estuary was stopped.

"Fight, don't panic, stay on the shore if you don't get on the boat, and go ashore immediately if you get to the other side!" The general of the Wei army shouted loudly in a hurry, but his voice was quickly drowned in the noise, no one put up a formation to meet the battle, they all fled towards the banks of the river on both sides, and on the not wide river, only a few breaths have been chaotic, some ships are stuck with each other and cannot move, some people fall into the water and drown alive, and some people are caught by the boats and killed on the spot!

The Wei people are not natives of Zhongshan, the locals are close to Bai Yangze, and they are more or less water-based, while the Wei people are from the Mobei grassland, or temporarily recruited from Zhucheng in Hebei, and fell into the water, which is basically a dead word!

Xiang Mi saw that boats were constantly capsizing, people were constantly falling into the water, and the waves on the river in front of him seemed to be boiling!

A subordinate general couldn't help but praise: "General Xiang, you chose a good time, just in time for the Wei people to cross!" ”

"Damn it, don't make a fool of yourself!" Xiang Mi scolded with a smile, and then called loudly: "The Wei people have been in chaos, this battle will be lost, in order to prevent him from escaping, the rear team of 300 boats scattered to both sides, and the crossbowmen of the god arm went ashore to try to stop and kill the Wei people!" ”

"Yes!" The flag-bearer waved his flag backwards, and the ships in the rear scattered to both sides, and Xiang Mi looked forward again, shouting: "Release! ”

The first five ships fired ten huge arrows, but the stone projectiles were thrown for the sake of the projectile, dozens of them were shot at once, after a bang, sawdust splashed into the air, nearly ten boats sank on the spot, and the river was also dyed with a bloody red, and then, two hundred boats converged into a sharp spear, rushing into the Wei army, the crossbowmen shot at the people, the trebuchets hit the distance, and the other three hundred boats also came to the shore one after another, and the soldiers flew ashore to kill the Wei people who were scurrying around (to be continued......
