Chapter 244: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
When Su Jiudong saw Guo Qifeng in front of him, judging from his aura and demeanor, this person must be the Huaihua general Guo Qifeng who didn't run away, and immediately bowed to Guo Qifeng respectfully: "The little woman General Su Jiudong has seen General Guo." ”
Guo Qifeng smiled and said, "Oh? You call me General Guo, where does this start? ”
Su Jiudong analyzed carefully: "The Holy Lord sent Wen Xiang, General Su and Huaihua General Guo Qifeng to follow Su Jinguo on the northern expedition in three ways. Now that Wen Xiang and General Su have converged, the remaining Western Route Army is not only led by you, General Guo..."
Guo Qifeng refused to admit it, and only continued to be critical: "We are in the Gobi, why can you conclude that our army is the Western Route Army sent by the Holy Lord?" What if I'm from Sujin? ”
"And why are you sure that I must be Guo Qifeng? If I'm just another junior in the barracks, wouldn't you be embarrassed to admit him wrong? ”
"First of all, answer your first question, the answer to this question is very simple, judging from the appearance and service of the army, the army led by the general is indeed the appearance of the Han nationality of my Dayin Dynasty, as for the second question..."
Although Su Jiudong's face was embarrassed, he also responded calmly: "The second question is even simpler... The little girl once heard her father mention General Guo, saying that General Guo's most powerful thing is that he has a pair of eagle-like eyes, and his eyes are the sharpest when he shoots cold stars. ”
Guo Qifeng heard Su Jiudong say "his eyes are like cold stars", and heard her say the word "father", so he immediately looked at her facial features, and seemed to be able to confirm Su Jiudong's identity for a while.
Su Jiudong saw that Guo Qifeng's home port had obviously changed from the original suspicion and intent, to mildness, so he knew that his guess was right, and then praised Guo Qifeng with ease:
"And the little girl noticed that the general is like a tiger when you sit regularly, and you are like a wolf when you walk, which is obviously the arrogance and strength that only a general of an army has."
Guo Qifeng really laughed: "In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only General Su Fenglan paid the most attention to my eyes, and he also commented on the words 'eye cold light' to me. You can know these four words, and if you look at your appearance, you must be the general's daughter. ”
Su Jiudong's lips and face follow his mother Yu Ruoyao, and the most critical eyebrows and eyes are the same as Su Fenglan, which can be said to combine the advantages of his parents, and his appearance is indeed gorgeous and brilliant.
Su Jiudong and Guo Qifeng looked at each other and smiled, and the emotions between the two of them had turned into gentle compliments.
Guo Qifeng said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Miss Su, just now when I only knew that you were carrying the entry and exit token issued by Wen Xiang and dressing up as a female military doctor, General Ben guessed that you should be a military doctor belonging to the Eastern Route Army, and then it turned out to be the case." ”
Guo Qifeng replied safely to the original self-proclaimed "General Ben". Su Jiudong knew that he called her "I" just now, and he should still be in the stage of suspicion, probably because he didn't want to reveal his identity as a general.
In order not to make the current relaxed atmosphere embarrassing, Guo Qifeng did not tell Su Jiudong frankly, and he immediately guessed that Su Jiudong might be a traitor or Su Jinguo's spy.
Su Jiudong didn't be honest enough with Guo Qifeng, and only said part of the facts: "Indeed." Because there could be no women in the barracks to accompany the army, the little girl was worried about her father's expedition, so she dressed as a female military doctor and joined the army with her father. ”
After the compliment was completed, Guo Qifeng asked what he wanted to know the most: "Since Miss Su can wander in the wilderness near Baya City, presumably Wen Xiang and General Su's men and horses should be nearby." ”
Su Jiudong nodded and gave the most affirmative answer: "Yes, Wen Xiang and his father did plan to quickly pursue Su Jin Guoxiang Dalantai to the outskirts of Baya City after attacking Zhuote City. ”
However, this time there was a sudden chaos on the way with the army, and the little girl was accidentally scattered by the residents of Zhuot City and was forced to separate from the army. After walking for a long time, I was fortunate to meet General Guo, which shows that the sky is endless. ”
After getting the exact news, Guo Qifeng said peacefully:
"Okay, since Wen Xiang and General Su have arrived outside Baya City, then General Ben can also lead his army across the Shicha River in Baya City according to the plan and hide on the bank of the Shicha River. When the time comes, it's time to attack Baya. ”
However, for Guo Qifeng's move to cross the Shicha River, the king of Sujin Kingdom, Arislan, was the first to object. Therefore, after knowing that Guo Qifeng led the Western Route Army to wait by the Shicha River and prepare to cross the river, Arislan also made corresponding arrangements.
"Someone, immediately go to the barracks to inform the royal brother Gao Leqi, and ask him to immediately lead his troops to wait ten miles outside the city." Azhislan wants to give this opportunity to his younger brother Gaoleqi.
"Remember to let Goleqi know, and if you find that the army of the Great Yin Dynasty has begun to cross the river, don't rush to send troops first." He could only move after nearly half of the Yinjun army had crossed the river. ”
"Didn't Guo Qifeng want to lead the army across the river and ambush on the shore and wait for the opportunity? Then the king will drown them in the Shicha River, so that they will never come ashore! ”
After receiving the will of Arislan, the younger brother of the king, Gao Leqi led the 60,000 Sujin army to set off early at night, hiding three miles away on the bank of the Shicha River, waiting for the action of the Bai Riyin army to cross the river. Micro book bar
As the night deepened, both sides of the Shicha River were as peaceful and quiet as usual, but the air was filled with a sense of solemnity, as if it was a brief calm when the two armies faced each other and before the storm.
The moon rises and sets, and the summer Taiyi has leapt out of the distant skyline.
Because he didn't know the depth of the Shicha River, it was difficult to cross the river at night, because Guo Qifeng really didn't move last night, and he only started to prepare after sunrise.
Su Jiudong also woke up very early, and came to the camp tent to find Guo Qifeng to understand the situation as soon as he washed up: "General Guo, how is the situation of the water probe discharged last night?" ”
Originally, Guo Qifeng wanted to cross the river yesterday, but the action of 200,000 horses crossing the river was really huge, and the Yin army had never reached the inside of Sujin Kingdom, so he did not know the flow of the Shicha River, so Su Jiudong advised Guo Qifeng not to cross the river rashly at night.
Guo Qifeng was slightly dissatisfied with Su Jiudong's "meddling" in military affairs as soon as he entered the barracks: "You can't cross the river during the day, and it's dangerous to cross the river at night?" When is the right time to cross the river? ”
"It's best to cross the river when it's about to dawn." Su Jiudong explained: "At that time, it was the most difficult time for people, and it must also be the time when Su Jinjun was the most relaxed. And you can cross the river with the help of the light of the sky, which is not too dangerous. ”
Guo Qifeng objected: "No! You said that the time of dawn is the most difficult time for people, and since it was the most lax Su Jin army, the soldiers of our army must also be tired and tired. ”
"The march was not easy, it was already very difficult, and if the soldiers were asked to cross the river when they were in trouble, they were afraid that they would be sleepy-eyed and confused, and they would use the river as a waterbed, and sleep directly in the river. Therefore, it is safest to cross the river during the day. ”
Guo Qifeng really knew the danger of crossing the river at night, and he hated the fatigue of the army crossing the river at dawn, so he changed the time to cross the river to the time when the sun was rising.
Su Jiudong saw Guo Qifeng's tough attitude of insisting on his own opinions, so he could only take a step back and agree, but he still put forward his own suggestions.
"Since General Guo wants to cross the river after the imperial doctor rises, he can send a few soldiers who are familiar with the nature of the water to go down to the river at night to investigate the situation, find out where the water is turbulent and where the water is deep, and also prepare for tomorrow's river crossing."
Although Guo Qifeng didn't want Su Jiudong to interfere too much in military affairs, he would still adopt useful proposals, so he sent people into the water to investigate the situation of Shichahe River according to Su Jiudong's proposal last night.
It was this morning that Su Jiudong would ask Guo Qifeng this question after entering the camp tent.
"As soon as the water probe left with the front foot, Miss Su arrived with the back foot, and it was the right time."
Guo Qifeng kept a polite smile at Su Jiudong and said indifferently: "The middle section of the Shicha River is the shallowest water, but the distance between the middle section of the river is very wide; The narrowest part of the distance is the part that goes downstream into the mountain, but it is also the part where the water is the most turbulent... There are pros and cons on both sides. ”
"At the moment, the safety of the soldiers is a priority, so General Ben decided to start the river crossing from the shallowest part of the river."
As the sun rose, Guo Qifeng began to make some moves, leading 200,000 Yin troops to cross the river cautiously.
The Yin army crossed the river with more than 100 people, and Gao Leqi, who was ambushed on the other side of the Shicha River, still stood still. More than 5,000 Yin troops crossed the river and successfully landed, and Golech still waited calmly for the opportunity.
When the Yin army successfully crossed the river and landed more than 40,000 people, Golech finally made a move. He first led the army to encircle and suppress the Yin army that had successfully landed, and then surrounded the Yin army in the river by the river and defended the river shoreline.
Seeing that Su Jinguo's thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared, and there were 60,000 enemy troops with a large number of dead guards on the bank of the Shicha River, Guo Qifeng shouted that it was not good and wanted to withdraw immediately, but at this time, tens of thousands of horses had successfully crossed the river, and there were still thousands of people in the river who could not go ashore in time, and it was too late to withdraw the army.
At this time, although the Western Route Army led by Guo Qifeng rested all night last night, the short rest still could not alleviate the rapid march of the Western Route Army for several days, so the soldiers of the Yin Army were still in a state of high exhaustion.
At this time, the Su Jin army was killed halfway, and the sturdy cavalry was still at the head, and there was a team of Su Jin troops who were well fed and slept soundly behind them, and the Yin army seemed to be in a disadvantageous state.
The cavalry led by Gao Leqi rushed to the shore without any scruples, and trampled all the Yin troops who wanted to go ashore.
The Yin army, which escaped from under the iron hoof, could not avoid the second line of 60,000 horses and horses of Gao Leqi, and either fled in the desert or was captured by Su Jin's army. The Yin army was already panicked, and some soldiers even turned around and jumped back into the Shicha River to swim back.
Seeing that the Yin army was about to be in chaos, Guo Qifeng couldn't pull away from the battle on the front line, and Su Jiudong, who had already changed into armor, immediately pulled out the sharp broadsword of the deputy general and shouted at the other side of the river.
"The thieves are stupid! He didn't clear the wilderness to wait for the king, but led the army to send him to death! How can a mere tens of thousands of thieves scare off my 200,000 Wang Division! Obey the order! Charge now, and if anyone takes a step back, kill them! ”
