533 Half of the crossing counter-ambush

Lin Bo didn't have a smile on his face, and only let out a gasp: "Gu Master, at the moment, there is a shortage of salt valley in Echeng, and it is a pity that he suddenly sells it at a reduced price!"

Wu Kui also sighed: "Only by taking precautions can we take the lead, that's it, within half a month, it will be done." Ask Limber to lead the deacons in the whole process." After that, he hurried away.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Wei He had just returned from the school's military field, but he saw the camp gate ranger galloping on a flying horse, and shouted from afar: "Report! The Flying Car Envoy has arrived at the camp gate—" Wei He couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly flew to the camp gate.

Flying envoys are a traditional setting of the royal family, but during the war, they are usually served by generals who are skilled in chariots and horses. At this time, before going south, a speeding car envoy arrived, which was unpredictable, could it be that Ji Hu had a new plan? Or is it a moth in the north? Wei He pondered the camp gate in sight, only to see a horse bronze chariot rumbling smoke and dust rumbling towards him.

"Chongli?" Wei Heda was surprised, what was the urgency, and he actually used the Hangu guard to drive the flying car himself?

"Luoyi emergency military situation!" Before he could finish speaking, the flying car had already rumbled to a halt in front of Wei and Ma. As soon as Chong Li stretched out his hand, a bright copper pipe had reached in front of Wei He. Wei He didn't care about talking to Chongli, opened the brass pipe and pulled out a white scroll to unfold, and two lines of small characters jumped into his eyes: "E Kun wants to take 50,000 elite horsemen north to the south bank of the river, and take advantage of the opportunity of my king's division to attack it, and hope that Wei Gongshan will make preparations." Another general, Chong Li, is brave and strategic, and now he is assigned to your command to use it."

Wei He closed the white scroll with a bang, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his handsome starry eyes: "Hit it halfway? Teach them that there will be no return."

In the camp of Chengzhou, the rumbling drum sounded again.

Wei He issued an order: 50,000 infantry troops, organized into three large battalions - 15,000 Chongche battalions and 10,000 bow and crossbow battalions, led by Gongsun Yu; The siege camp was 25,000, led by Qiang Xing, the commander of the infantry army; The three battalions were two days longer than the cavalry, crossed the river from the Mengjin crossing, and then moved eastward. The cavalry was 35,000, organized into three roads, and the first road was 5,000, led by Chongli, who immediately crossed the river from Baima, and was responsible for clearing the south bank and ensuring the smooth crossing of the river by the follow-up army; The second Lu Weihe personally led 15,000 men, and tomorrow also crossed the river from Baima and ambushed in the jungle on the south bank; The third route, led by Boyan, also 15,000 men, listened to the signal on the north bank and waited to cross the river.

Wei He sternly ordered: "All soldiers must strictly abide by the order, and must not act without authorization, and those who violate it will be punished immediately!"

"No!" The full tent generals answered in unison.

The road can be said to be staggering. Originally, it was delayed for five days to mobilize all 50,000 men and horses from the military camps in various passes, but when it came time to cross the Gaoqiao River, I thought that I could wade through the water, but I didn't want the summer showers to rain all day, and the river would swell sharply, and the way was blocked again. It took three and a half days to mobilize more than a dozen civilian boats to cross the small river one by one with 50,000 men and horses.

After such a day and night, I arrived on the south bank of the river, and it was half a month before I set off from Echeng. E Kun was so anxious that he hurriedly sent more than a dozen scouts to scatter to listen to Wang Shi's movements. The scouts came back to report that the camp of Chengzhou on the other side was noisy day and night, with smoke during the day and lights at night, and that the river should not have been crossed. Only then did he settle down and arranged for his 50,000 horses to ambush in the mountains on the south bank of the river.

The surging river, the nearest and most convenient ferry from Chengzhou Daying has two places, one is Taolindu, and the other is Baimadu. Although there was a scout report that there was a high probability that Wei He's army would cross the river from Baima, he still felt uneasy, so he divided all the horses into two routes: he himself led 25,000 people to ambush in Baimadu, and his cousin E Mao led another 25,000 people to set up an ambush in Taolindu.

This Baima Ferry Channel is the main channel of the Great River in the Central Plains, with a stable water flow and a wide channel. The mountains on both sides of the bank are undulating, and there are still many places for ambushes. As he was settling down in the ambush site, he suddenly came from a scout of Pegasus: "Childe, there is movement on the river!"

Such a coincidence? Before this had time to ambush, the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou began to cross the river? The general was suspicious, and followed the scout to the riverbank to take a look, and under the bright sun, he saw more than 30 small and medium-sized boats lined up with white sails, which was quite spectacular.

"Why are they all boats? And what about the big ships transporting troops? Why can't you see it?" The Kun is very suspicious, isn't it some trick of the enemy?

The scout arched his hand and said, "Yu Gongzi, I heard that Zhou Tianzi is sitting in Luoyi to supervise the war, and it is currently a hot summer, and the palace has requisitioned many ships to transport the summer mountain goods and new fruits in the palace. It is not known whether the ships have been requisitioned."

The important ferries of the big rivers in Chengzhou are equipped with large military ships that transport soldiers, built by Seiko, a total of more than 50 ships, which are concentrated in Baimajin, Taolindu, and Mengjin three large ferries. Each boat could carry 300 soldiers across the river, and the Kun knew the rules of troop carriers: without the order of the general, no official business traveler was allowed to use the war.

But the Son of Heaven is in Luoyi, and if the amount is not enough, it is also possible for Wei He to hand over the military ships to Rongyi to dispatch the materials needed for the palace. After all, this time, Wang Shi took the initiative to go on the expedition, and there was no rush to cross the river. Thinking of this, E Kun did not doubt it, and ordered: "The whole army is hidden, and the enemy army will attack after ten rounds. Everybody listen to me!"

Although there is a magnificent crossing scene in the great river channel, it is a pity that each boat with men and horses only stands a dozen or so, and it took four hours to cross the shore for 2,000 men and horses, and the summer sun has already pillowed on the mountain. The leading general shouted, "Light the torches and cross the night!" In the firelight, E Kun could see it clearly, it was Boyan who had fought on the battlefield of Luochuan.

Under Boyan's order, in a moment, the sunset fell, and the continuous torches illuminated the white horse Nandu. Seeing the chaotic appearance of the opponent's horses, E Kun couldn't hold back any longer, and ordered: "The crossbowmen will shoot rockets in the river, and the rest of the people will kill in unison, and annihilate all these thousands of people first!"

At this command, there was a continuous scream in the boundless dark night, and the powerful crossbow and great arrows carried the whistling flames, like a dense fire serpent that poured wildly into the bow of the sail ship, and burst into fire wherever it was nailed. Before a round of long arrows could be fired, most of the men and horses in the bow of the river had already fallen, and the entire ship array had burned into a clear mountain of flames.

Seeing a sea of fire in the river, the soldiers threw themselves down the river like a ball of flames, and the dark surface of the river suddenly brightened. As the flames plunged into the water, the rockets on the shore immediately followed, and seeing the soldiers with fire in the water screaming miserably, Boyan's eyes were red, and he shouted: "What a traitor to the Hubei country, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, right? I'm fighting with you—"
