Chapter 368: Ten Thousand Horses Crossing the River

In the first year of Yongchang, the sixteenth day of the first month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The war is like a bear, burning both sides of the river, the Shangyuan Festival is over, the night lights are still hanging on the city wall, and the earth-shaking war drums have been beating.

Yesterday, Du Tao led his troops out of the county, forced Hefei, and invited Dai Yuan to fight under the city. Dai Yuan saw that Du Tao only led 5,000 soldiers to dare to invite the battle, and immediately became furious, and wanted to wave the army out of the city and fight in the wilderness, but he thought that the festival should not be stained with blood, so he closed the city overnight and made an appointment to fight today.

On that day, the scorching sun prevailed over the fire, sprinkled all over the city.

Dai Yuan ascended to the arrow tower, condescendingly looking down at Du Tao's army array, his face was still hanging on the afterglow of last night, slightly red, maybe the sun was too prosperous, for the sun to burn, the wine in his chest was rolling, almost erupted, quickly grabbed the arrow and chopped the mouth, calmed the town god for a while, and shouted to the city: "The soldiers of the three armies, Du Tao is a rebel general!" How dare you commit a crime against God, you are not afraid of God's damnation! Last night, the Emperor of Tianguan fell into a dream of Dai Yuan, and he and others rose up in vain, and today they will definitely stain the plains with blood and stick their heads upside down! If you repent and bind Du Tao in the array, you can still ......"

"Dai Ruosi, Dai Pifu! In the past, most of Lu Shiheng oversaw you in the mud, and An Zhiru was so unbearable, old and courageous, and afraid of war in the city! If you are a hussar general, Du has never heard of or seen it, if you don't fight, please cover your knees and bind your face! Du Tao held a spear, rode his horse and galloped wildly, shuttling back and forth in front of the formation, and Lang Lang's voice soared straight to the city.

"Cover your knees, hahaha......"

"The hussar general, bound to the knee as a helmet, must be immortal and ......"

The knee cover is the small coat on the legs, the thing under the robe, the three armies heard it, and saw that Dai Yuan was still wearing a high crown and wide robe, a group of old and weak looks, and the laughter was like a sea.

Dai Yuan's life taboo people said that he was old, and because of the old things, angry people talked about Lu Ji, immediately ashamed and angry, secretly felt that the stomach was surging unbearable, and he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself in front of the army, so he grabbed the arrow and chopped the mouth, forcibly suppressed the bursts of vomiting, and after a while, he said loudly: "Take my gun!" ”

Deng Qian, who joined the army, was shocked when he saw that he was excited, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, the general is only 5,000 people, and it is difficult to attack the city. The general only needs to strangle the city, and when it turns its back, he will intervene in the back. If he does not retreat, the general can also wait for Xi Gong to lead the army, and at that time, the thunder will strike! ”

Dai Yuan half-squinted, and said coldly: "Dai Yuan has already responded to the battle yesterday, how can he shrink into the city!" Besides, Brother Daohui is thousands of miles away, and when he comes, the fighter plane has been lost! The strength of the army is like water, unchanging and invisible, Du Tao is the enemy of the forward, and he deserves a battle today, deterring retrograde! In the coming day, you can make the rest of the tail behind, and there is something to be afraid of! After that, he grabbed the gun in his hand, pointed at Du Tao under the city, and said disdainfully: "The little bandit dared to covet Dai, and when Dai was fighting, Er Shang's soul was not possessed!" If you don't deceive you, you will lead 5,000 soldiers to catch your head! ”

"The general is mighty, Du Tao admires, and he is willing to withdraw five miles and fight with the general!"

Du Tao smiled coldly, pulled out the horse's head, led the army to retreat five miles, and waited for Dai Yuan to leave the city.

After tea, Dai Yuan led 5,000 soldiers out of the city and fought against the city! Suddenly, the light and shadow under his eyebrows jumped, wiped it with his hand, his fingers were slightly warm, his heart was suddenly startled, he looked up, and secretly shouted: "Oops! Fight against the sun! Du Tao is cunning, I wanted to watch the night lanterns in the west of the city last night......"

"Fight!"

At this time, Du Tao saw that Dai Yuan was five miles away from the city, and the formation was disordered, and the Chinese army was as thin as a piece of paper, so he immediately waved his spear and swept the army into the field. Dai Yuan was furious, his heart was beating like a drum, and he didn't have time to scold Du Tao, so he had to hurriedly take the battle.

Dai Ling, the son of Dai Yuan, saw that his position was in danger, and his heart was in a hurry, so he drew his sword and shouted: "A certain person should lead an army of 3,000 and go out of the city to save his father!" ”

Dai Yuan's brother Dai Miao looked down on his sword, shook his head and said: "No, ten thousand armies are entangled in the wilderness, five miles from the plain, and now five miles away from the city, the warring side is rising, our soldiers are in one word, and my brother is fighting while fighting." If you go to the army, you will rebel against us! Besides, Du Tao still has 500 cavalry troops watching on the side, waiting for chaos! ”

Deng Qian watched the battle on the city wall for a while, his heart suddenly sank, shook his head, rolled up his robe sleeves, slipped down the city wall, and said secretly: 'Dai Yuan, in vain, his name is better than his life, he is determined to be devoured by Du Tao's silkworms, I should take advantage of the chaos and go to Jingzhou ......'

An hour later.

Bloody miles, Du Tao defeated Dai Yuan in the field, when it was critical, Dai Ling led the army to save his father, Yan Zhi, saved his father, lost half of the army, because it blocked the west of the city, therefore, the remnants of the soldiers were difficult to return to the city, had to flee to the south, when the army returned to the city, more than 10,000 soldiers in the city were only 6,000 left. Du Tao saw that the betrayal of the enemy had gone to his courage, and immediately waved his army to the wilderness, driving the remnants of the army to attack Liyang, and ordered the cavalry to surrender and appease along the way, and when he arrived in Liyang, he won 7,000 troops......

At the same time, Qian Feng led 25,000 troops to the east to the north bank of the river in Anhui County, the defenders in the city were only 2,000, and saw that the army was overwhelming, stretching for ten miles, and suddenly trembled and cold, and hurriedly fought for a while.

Qian Fengyun surrendered, took the defenders in the city, and inserted the Lujiang River in the east.

……

In the south of the great river, Wang Han, the younger brother of the general, led the five major armies out of Poyang and arrived at the Shicheng military fortress at the mouth of the river. The champion general Zhou Xiao led 3,000 troops to defend the fortress, Wang Han invited people to fight, fierce battles, and Zhou Xiao could not defend it. In desperation, Wang Han had no choice but to wave his army to attack.

On the twentieth day of the first month, on the fourth day of the fierce battle, Wang Han broke through the Shicheng military fortress, and Zhou Xiao only led a hundred horsemen to escape and ran to Xiangcheng. Although Wang Han broke the military blockade, he had suffered heavy casualties and had to rest for a day, and then, led the army to invade Fanchang and Dingtao counties along the way.

As everyone knows, Wang Han is not good at strangling the army, so the army invades the countryside and rushes to plunder. Xiangcheng County is Qiao County, most of the residents come to Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, therefore, the people are fierce, even if there is a tun chief Chen Lu to form a young and strong army, and plunder the king of the four fields Hanbu to fight.

When Wang Dun heard this, he was furious, but he remained silent, and ordered Yu Liang to lead an army of 5,000 out of Yuzhang, take Wang Han to retreat from the enemy, and ordered Wang Han not to stay and destroy Xiangcheng quickly.

At that time, it was heard that the general Gao Bao and Zu Sheng under the account of the Hou of Chaisang led 8,000 troops to the north, and Zhu Tao, the assassin of Yizhou, led 10,000 troops to the east, and the general was awe-inspiring, unmoved, and ordered the general Wei Yi of Longxiang to lead an army of 10,000 to attack, and after defeating Gao Bao, he went north to take Sima Chengzhi's Changsha and intercepted Zhu Tao here. Wang Yu was ordered to send 10,000 troops from Jingzhou to attack Zhu Tao.

Therefore, the general turned his mind to Yuzhou and Liangzhou, and had not yet received Jiankang's order, so he immediately sent the army Le Daorong to Yidu and Badong with a letter, and persuaded Liangzhou to follow the south, if he followed, he would go to Yuzhang, and if he did not follow, he ordered Wang Yu to collect the military momentum and strengthen the town; Fu ordered Lu Play to send a letter to Liu Nong, inviting him to go to the Lujiang River, chase Jiankang in the south, and wait for the matter to be completed, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households. And to make it clear, Jing and Jiang Erzhou are like iron buckets, if they come, it will be difficult to return!

……

"Drive, drive!"

From the beginning of the wild road to the new beginning, Zu Sheng led 3,000 cavalry to run like a tide, this is Tao Kan's strategy, so that Gao Bao led the army of 5,000 to go to Luling, forced Yuzhang, held two flags to confuse the eyes of Wang Dun, but secretly ordered Zu Sheng to bypass Yuzhang, straight into the new beginning, through the new beginning and into Xiangcheng County.

Running for a few days, people are tired and sleepy, Zu Sheng does not dare to slack off, all the way forcibly, until the beginning of the new month is the 22nd day of the first month, take a short rest for half a day, cross the Raoshui in the east, and then go north, until Dingtao. As everyone knows, just arrived in Fanchang, which coincided with Yu Liang leading the army.

"Report ......"

A horse from the north to the south of the wind quickly inserted, to stay close, shouted: "Back to the Duwei, fifteen miles to the north, a part of the Yu Zhang, about five thousand, four chasing the people of the countryside, so the formation is scattered!" ”

"Loose formation?"

Zu Sheng raised his eyebrows, shook the dust on his shoulders, and secretly thought: 'When the enemy is in the wilderness, the brave wins and the wise loses!' Immediately, he raised his horse's head and shouted with his spear: "Although our army is tired, but the enemy is in the field, intercept it in the middle of the road, and we will definitely win the battle, and come with me!" ”

"No!" Three thousand light horsemen swept north in the wind.

At this moment, Yu Liang will defeat Chen Lu's son and Chen Min, looking at the villagers running in the wilderness, he is angry and scolds: "Wang Han, Wang Chuhong, Piff!" In vain, in the name of being good at fighting, but was stranded by the villagers for four days, if this situation continues, when can you arrive in Jiankang? Shaft, it is difficult to make a plan...... 'I slandered in my heart, and my expression was more anxious, so I wanted to collect the army to the east and join Wang Han's army in Dingtao.

"Boom ......"

The horses' hooves were deafening, and the wind was discolored......

……

In the first year of Yongchang, the twenty-third day of the first month.

Jiang Xiadu.

The rolling river flows eastward, and it is as quiet as a lake. River birds flock up, flapping their wings along the hundred boats. Liu Nong stands at the head of the giant boat, Xun Guanniang, Qu Ping, Ran Liang, Xu Yi, Kong Zhen, Wang Ping will be like the stars and the moon, all looking at the Jiangxia ferry. Behind the generals, the rows of boats are like cities, covered with rivers, and the white robes are like waves, and the river is rolling.

10,000 iron horsemen, all men and horses, are about to cross Jiangxia.

Jiangxia Ferry, Linjiang high-rise building, Huan Xuanding helmet through the armor, looking at the hundred sails coming, frowning, secretly thinking: 'Sure enough, the Marquis of Huating will enter Jiangxia, look at its formation, and want to make a forced crossing, if I lead the army to intercept half of the crossing......

Chu Li stood side by side with him, speculating on his thoughts, his brows were furrowed instantly, he pointed to the river, and said coldly: "Huan Zhennan and look at it, Zhan Zhen carries two giant boats, hundreds of small boats, and the small boat can cross three people and three horses, that is, more than a thousand horses!" If Huan Town hits half of the south, can you make a boat? If it can't be controlled, I'm afraid the general will suffer from the enemy on his back! What's more, the general has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and when he hears a word, the white robe is invincible! ”

Huan Xuan glanced at Chu Qi, and was worried in his heart, and secretly thought: "Chu Qia is now the Taishou of Wuchang, according to the county army of 3,000, if he has different aspirations, I will suffer from the enemy!" At that moment, he said coldly: "Is this your father's intention?" ”

Chu Li met Huan Xuan's eyes, did not avoid it, and was lazy: "The general Qingjun side, the auspicious is unpredictable, and the Qiantang Chu family is willing to watch from the wall!" It is not easy for the Huan clan in Haoxian County to cross the south, so why not wait for Zhan Zhen to cross the river to express his intentions, and then make other comments. At that time, either attacking, retreating, or defending the army from entering Jingzhou, it will all be in the general's advance and retreat! Besides, Chu Li once heard that Zhennan was filial piety, and Zhennan's mother was in love with her homeland and did not cross to the south, and she still existed in Yuzhou! At this point, he glanced at the river, and saw that the light boat had been diverted and the war was about to start, so he shook it heavily: "Huan Zhennan, the matter has come here, when it is broken, it will be broken, if you hesitate, it will be burned!" ”

"Humph!"

Huan Xuan snorted coldly, his face was as cold as iron, but he thought in his heart: "Or attack and retreat, so as to hide people's ears and eyes, and the Qiantang Chu family will hear the wind on both sides!" His number of people was here a few days ago, and his father Chu Qia decided to hear about it, and did not take it back, and his meaning is unpredictable......"

"Woo, woo......"

At this moment, the sound of trumpets broke out in the sky, and on the river, hundreds of light boats were scattered as birds and beasts, densely packed, and inserted into the south bank......
