Chapter 335 In Time of Danger (2)
Borshu had already judged this, and immediately his eyes lit up: "Immediately pass down the military order, let the vanguard cross the river and attack Xihe City!"
"Wasn't it scheduled to be fought in four days?" the main force hasn't arrived at the predetermined position yet...... Mu Hehua was stunned.
Borshu snorted coldly: "The military situation has been leaked, and the Southern Dynasty now knows that we are mainly attacking Yunzhou, and the surprise attack plan can no longer be implemented, so we can only take the first step before Yunzhou is ready to complete the army and storm the city!"
"The top priority is to conquer Xihe City!
"Our army is not good at water warfare, and if we want to break through the blockade of the naval division of the Southern Korea, we must pay a lot of price, and it is precisely in order to avoid excessive casualties that we have formulated a plan for the use of troops to feint and attack Yangliucheng and avoid the real and the false.
"Even if we can't surprise Yunzhou this time, at least we have to ensure that the army can cross the river safely. Therefore, whether or not we can quickly seize Xihe City has become the key to the key!"
Mu Hehua's face showed hesitation:
"Although the vanguard is already in place, there are only 50,000 people, according to our previous investigations, there are 60,000 garrisons in Xihe City, not counting the 800 warships, the vanguard can attack without a surprise attack, I'm afraid it will ......."
Borshu is resolute and has good reasons: "Right now, even Zhao Ning has come to Yunzhou, if we give them another four days, with Zhao Ning's talent, they will definitely be able to make Xihe City as stable as Mount Tai, and even the entire Yunzhou War Zone may become like an iron bucket under his management!"
"Now that the Right Virtuous King has been marching for several months, he can't even enter the Jindi Portal, and Zhao Ning can even come to Yunzhou in his own right, which is the best proof! We must not repeat the mistakes of the Right Virtuous King!
"In any case, we must ensure that the army can cross the river and land smoothly. Although the vanguard has few soldiers, they are all elites of the royal court, and with the king's personal guards, it is enough to fight!"
Mu Hehua couldn't find fault with these words, Zhao Ning and the Zhao family were indeed the biggest stumbling block to the army's destruction of the Southern Dynasty.
As early as the sixth year before Qianfu, the Tianyuan Royal Court regarded the Zhao clan as the biggest obstacle to attacking the Southern Dynasty, so it let Xiao Yan plan to deal with them, but unfortunately it fell short in the end.
If Xiao Yan's plan that day could be successful, and the Zhao clan would have been hit hard at that time, where would the war be what it is now?
However, it is too late to say this, what has happened cannot be changed, they can only fight forward.
Hearing that Borshu was going to send out even his own personal guards, Mu Hehua knew that it was useless for him to raise any objections, so he could only transfer troops according to the other party's wishes.
Because the vanguard of the army is already in place, with the elite level of the Tianyuan Royal Court Army that has gone through a hundred battles, being in place means that it can be put into battle at any time.
After receiving the order to attack with Borjutsu, the vanguard immediately removed their disguise, and with the help of the cultivators, the hidden river crossing boat arrived at the right position in a very short time.
At dusk that day, the Beihu vanguard army launched a huge and desperate attack on Xihe City on the south bank of the Yellow River!
At this time, He Ping, the defense envoy of Xihe City, was still gathering Xiu Mu's soldiers everywhere to return to the camp.
Because of the hard work day and night to build the city, build defenses, and wait for the defense of the Hu army to the south, I didn't dare to slack off for half a year.
Either he ate and drank and bragged, or he went to the kiln to hook the fence and release the spirit that had been suppressed for half a year.
Therefore, the process of He Ping summoning the soldiers to return to the camp was not fast, and by the time the sentry reported that the Hu army's army had begun to cross the river, most of the soldiers who had not returned had not returned.
Standing on the tower of Xihe City, looking at the boats stretching like a city on the river, He Ping only felt cold hands and feet.
Whether it was the sailors and soldiers on the warship, or the soldiers of Xihe City and various military forts, when they found out that the Beihu army was suddenly attacking, they all reacted similarly to He Ping, and even more panicked.
They have been guarding here for half a year, nothing has happened, and now they have just breathed a sigh of relief, and they are attacked by the Beihu army, and they are all deeply caught off guard.
And at this moment, many positions in the defense line are empty, and it is the time when the combat power is the weakest!
The generals were already afraid of the combat power of the Beihu army sweeping the forbidden army and Hebei, and the Beihu army suddenly came over at this time, how many soldiers could not be frightened?
"What the hell is going on, didn't Gao Furui say that it is absolutely impossible for the Beihu army to attack Yunzhou? He is a military talent specially sent by the imperial court, and he personally went to the north bank of the Yellow River, so his judgment of the battle situation should not be wrong, but what happened to these tens of thousands of Beihu troops? Not only did they come, but they also came so quickly and so violently!"
He Ping, who was shocked and angry, couldn't figure this out, and was terrified for a while.
But at this point, he had no choice but to order the sailor warships to sail out first to meet the Beihu vanguard army.
Because of the haste of the matter, the powerful enemy is menacing, and the strength of his own side is insufficient, He Ping, the defensive envoy, is terrified, how can ordinary soldiers not be afraid of panic?
Although the sailor warships were dispatched, they were unprepared and in an irregular formation.
The sailors who were supposed to give the Beihu River flotilla a head-on blow had no integrity when they set off, some moved, some did not move, some were faster and some were slow, the power of the frontal impact was greatly reduced, and they could not exert or divide the opponent's fleet, or detour the flanks, or encircle and gather and annihilate the tactics.
Although there were many warships that made steady progress, they could not reverse the overall chaos.
The two sides were almost unconventionally close.
At this time, due to the lack of manpower on the warship, the bow and crossbow could not be fired in unison, resulting in the rain of bows and crossbows fired was not dense, and there was no momentum of a storm.
After paying a certain price, the Beihu ships successfully connected with the naval warships.
At this time, the warriors on the Beihu ships began to jump and tie up, and the cultivators took the lead in killing the sailor warship, and quickly gained a foothold because of the lack of strength of the warship, and then the soldiers followed on a large scale.
Within an hour or two, the naval warships were basically destroyed, and a large number of Beihu ships were able to smoothly bypass the battlefield.
As soon as the sun fell, the Beihu army landed on the bank of the river smoothly on a large scale, and then assembled slightly, and the main force slaughtered Xihe City.
The defenders on Xihe City, although there are a lot fewer because of the rotation, there are tens of thousands, according to common sense, how can they resist the Beihu army for a period of time, and it is not difficult to hold on to the reinforcements from Yunzhou.
However, the fall of the sailor division was too fast, which set off the extraordinarily fierce Beihu army, the panicked cries of the comrades when they were defeated, the miserable howls of dying, the scene of falling into the water one after another, and the invincible and murderous posture of the Beihu soldiers shocked the hearts of all the soldiers and soldiers.
Coupled with the fact that they were already afraid of the opponent's combat strength, their hearts trembled at this time, and their morale suddenly dropped greatly, and most of the soldiers were so nervous that their teeth trembled and they were sweating all over.
The morale was so low that it was almost collapsed, and the battle could not be carried out normally, and no matter how He Ping shouted strict orders, he could not make the soldiers recover.
As a result, the Beihu soldiers, like wolves and tigers, quickly spread onto the city wall like the sea at high tide.
Different from the army of Xihe City, the Beihu soldiers had a different feeling, before the battle, Borshu personally mobilized in front of them, told them about the key and difficulties of this battle, and told them in advance that this battle would have great casualties against the Great Qi Water Division.
However, Borshu expressed his determination to succeed in his death, vowed to live and die with them in order to defend the glory of the royal court, and went to the battle himself.
Therefore, when these elites set off, they were all ready to fall into the water and sacrifice with the will to fight bloodily with the Great Qi Water Division and the defenders of Xihe City.
But what they never expected was that the combat power of the Great Qi Naval Division was much weaker than they expected, and when the warships pressed over the city, they did not give them a sense of oppression like the collapse of a snowy mountain, and when the bows and crossbows were fired together, there was no lethality like a blizzard.
When the two sides jumped to fight, the opponent's lack of troops, weak combat strength, and fear made them even more unexpected.
The weakness of the enemy, the huge number of victories, the small casualties, and the smooth outcome of the battle made all the officers and men of the Beihu Dynasty rejoice, and where could they not be full of fighting spirit?
When the Beihu soldiers attacked Xihe City, the momentum was like a rainbow, everyone scrambled to be the first, and the city wall was quickly captured.
Finally killed the Hu master in front of him, He Ping, who was blood-stained and panting, looking at the irresistible tide of Beihu pouring into the city, looking at the panicked soldiers who were constantly killed and wounded, looking at the fallen battle line, looking at the troops that had already fled, and knew that Xihe City could no longer hold it.
The entire Xihe City defense line is about to collapse, and the Hu army is bound to fully attack the Yunzhou Theater, and he has become a sinner in the national war and a shame for Daqi, and the powerlessness, grief and unwillingness in his chest are as thick as a huge wave, He Ping trembled and raised his bloody long knife, and shouted sadly at the endless night:
"Gao Furui hurt me !!"
......
Yunzhou Thorn History Mansion.
Standing on the stone platform in front of the gate, his face was as green as a pot of vegetable soup, and he gritted his teeth and asked the young man in front of him who was standing with his hands in his hands and his bearing: "General Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
In front of the Thorn History Mansion, there were hundreds of Assassin Shi Mansion cultivators who were being escorted, from the Forging Body Realm to the Yuan Shen Realm, everyone described it as miserable, and most of them were still bruised and swollen and wounded.
And the people who were holding them were all cultivators, most of them were dressed in green clothes, and a few were dressed in the costumes of local forces such as the Yun family.
Li Ru was shocked and furious when he heard that the cultivators he sent out to frame the Yun family and hunt down the heroes of the rivers and lakes were injured and subdued on the spot by countless unknown Jianghu people at almost the same time as he appeared, and he was also pressed to the Assassin's Mansion by the other party to ask him for the guilt.
When he came out of the Assassin's Mansion and wanted to see if these bold Diao people really wanted to kill officials and rebel, he saw Zhao Ning standing in front of everyone.
The cultivation of the middle stage of the other king's extreme realm made him have to suppress his anger and dare not make any changes.
Zhao Ning glanced at Li Ru and said lightly: "Lord Li, your good days of being powerful and blessed in Yunzhou start from this moment and end. ”
