Chapter 524: Pit Army
The time to cross the Fengtian River was finally set at night~~ Although three of the five generals agreed to cross the river during the day, when the supreme general "Gao Jiaobi" looked at the snowflakes that suddenly floated and said "The snow is covered with ice, it is not easy to slip, and it is difficult to cross the river at night to attack", it was final.
The lieutenant general, who had personally gone to the river to investigate, patted his chest and assured that the ice was thick enough to carry 100,000 soldiers and horses and baggage without cracking.
It was late at night when the army bypassed Mushui City, the wind was getting more and more urgent, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, which seriously affected the vision.
However, the five generals were not worried but happy, and said to their respective henchmen, since we can't see Feng Linjun clearly, Feng Linjun naturally can't see us, even if they are on guard and have been waiting for us, but who would have thought that we would cross the river in the cold late night when the wind and snow are heavy and we can't even see the road clearly? So, this kind of weather is the real good time for us.
When the night was the thickest and darkest, an army of 100,000 quietly arrived at Fengtian River.
The five generals each led their own 20,000 soldiers and horses in a line, and the first rows of soldiers were covered with white cloth~~ Even if in order to hide their figures, it was too unrealistic to turn all the soldiers and horses white, and none of the five generals could do it, but the white-clothed soldiers in the first few rows were almost enough to block the enemy's sight, and on such a snowy night, they were even less worried about being discovered when crossing the river.
The confidant officer of the fifth general had already passed on the words of the chief general below, so the soldiers had no resentment in their hearts~~ Although the wind was blowing at this time, it was almost impossible to breathe, and the snow hit the face and it was difficult to open the eyes, but the general was right, the same bad weather was not only for them, but also for Feng Linjun.
When they arrived at the riverbank, the soldiers took out a cloth bag of dead leaves, squatted and tied it to the soles of their shoes~~ This is the best and fastest anti-slip measure that the five generals thought of.
There was nothing under the horsemen's hooves, but they laughed silently at the sight of the ice, which was already covered with a thick layer of snow. After that, the four generals of the east, west, south, and middle also twisted their heads to the front of the camp led by the north general and glanced at it~~ That guy once came up with the idea of saying that it would be nice if the ice could be sprinkled with wheat bran or firewood and grass ashes......
Compared with our clever General Gao, this idea is simply stupid.
Chu Han saw that everyone was ready, and everyone was quietly standing drinking the wind and snow, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a weird smile, and then with a wave of one hand, the five heralds beside him trotted to give a silent order.
The five generals were ordered to lead their 20,000 horses and horses slowly onto the ice and enter the largest and widest river in Fenglin~~ Fengtian River, and the baggage was placed at the rear.
Even if the weather was bad, their "General Gao" still sent troops to continue to reconnoitre, and the scout in charge of reconnaissance returned safely and smoothly every time, and when they passed a third of the river, "Gao Jiaobi" signaled to stop the reconnaissance and only need to move all the way.
When they walked to two-thirds of the way, there was still no movement around and on the opposite side, which made the five generals feel even more that their general Gao really took a good move by surprise!
Seeing that they were about to successfully reach the opposite shore, the killing phoenix army was caught off guard, and the caution and hidden worry that the soldiers had when they first stepped on the ice completely disappeared, and was replaced by the excitement that gradually ignited.
Chu Han lowered his voice and said a word, and the five heralds immediately split up to convey the order: speed up and land as soon as possible!
The whole army became excited, and some of the warmongers even touched their weapons, and if it weren't for the lack of military orders, they all wanted to pull out their weapons and rush over in one go!
However, just as the cavalry infantry all raised their speed of walking on the ice to the maximum, someone in the front suddenly looked down at their feet: "Feeling...... It seems a little different......"
Before the word "like" could get out of his throat, he made an "ah" sound, and when he stepped on the air with one foot, his body was crooked, and he fell uncontrollably into the suddenly cracked ice crevasse and fell into the icy river!
Then there was a pop tom tom falling water!
The people behind were confused and didn't know what was happening in front of them, so they heard a huge bang or clatter sound from the rear and not far from both sides, and when the generals on the outermost sides reacted, they showed a shocked expression and shouted: "Someone smashed the ice!" ”
In a hurry, he drew a knife and personally led people to rush over!
Under the continuous and vigorous smashing of the hammer or steel knife, the ice surface was centered on the hole chiseled, clicking, like a spider web, quickly spreading the cracks, and after being trampled by the rushing Xizhen generals and soldiers, they became more and more unable to withstand the impact of the force, cracked faster, and finally were trampled over, bringing the people on the ice into the water by the way!
Poof! Poof! Puff tom......
"Ahh "Ahh "Ah......h
Different voices came out in succession and reached everyone's ears.
"General! General Gao! The other three generals in the center knew that something was wrong, and shouted loudly, but they couldn't see a little shadow of the main general~~ The voice was drowned out by the panic of the soldiers, and the sight was blocked by the queue behind them!
Thousands of armies are easy to obtain, a general is hard to find, the supreme general has always been closely protected, the two armies are facing each other, and the general is riding a horse to stand in the foremost conspicuous place, it is impossible, and it is also an act of looking for death~~ It has long been shot into a hornet's nest by the enemy's cold arrows!
During the march, the top generals are in the middle of the team, and it is impossible to act as the leading army in the front, let alone press the formation at the rear.
"Don't panic! Don't panic! Calm down! All calm down! The generals of the three roads couldn't see the main general, so they could only find a way to deal with it themselves, and they couldn't imagine that at this time, the "Gao Jiaobi" was wearing a white fox mask, standing side by side with Shen Yuan, the general of the Fenglin Third Route Army, and looked coldly at the tragedy on the ice.
Although Shen Yuantao has just been promoted, he is full of official and arbitrary, and does not allow others to put forward different opinions, and always likes to show his majesty in front of his subordinates by not smiling and acting harshly, and strives to give people a serious and fierce impression.
As everyone knows, these actions have made the generals deviate from morality, what she says, everyone agrees with it on the surface, and does not speak out if there is a good suggestion, so as not to be ruthlessly refuted by her.
At this moment, the two of them looked at the stout soldier who had been lying on the bank of the river in advance, and then was naturally buried by the heavy snow, and there was no sign of it, standing up, shouting and pulling the chain in his hand. The seemingly intact snow-covered ice in the river immediately cracked into large irregularly shaped ice blocks, and the Xizhen soldiers who were at the forefront immediately plunged into the water, and the soldiers who were closest to them but were lucky enough to avoid turned around and rushed back, and the entire Xizhen army was in chaos!
Shen Yuanyu was very dissatisfied that Chu Han was standing side by side with her, the main general, at this time, if he hadn't known that she was the mastermind behind the murder of the Xizhen Army this time, he would have pulled down his face and expelled her.
It's a pity that when Chu Han got the holy decree to ask for relatives, she also received the will to fully cooperate, so even if she was depressed in her chest, she didn't dare to bare her teeth.
But Chu Han was thinking about another thing, that is, this Shen Yuanlu was Zuo Cheng Xiaoling's person, should she take this opportunity to kill him and let her sacrifice her life for the country with honor......
