Chapter 603: Crossing the River, Night Attack

But they can't even cross the river.

In such a state, how to fight with Yang Zhao's Guanzhong garrison?

To fight is to die, and it is too late not to fight.

I saw Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, all of them meditating hard, trying hard to think about what to do in order to break through Yang Zhao's powerful weapon defense line, hit the north bank of Weishui, occupy Yixian, and realize the first step out of Guanzhong.

"No need to go through martial arts water again."

Pang Tong seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Pass the order, select soldiers who are proficient in water in the army, I want two thousand people, as long as they can help the lord dive across the river, and there will be a heavy reward after returning, if unfortunately he dies, his family will always enjoy wealth." ”

Fa Zheng asked: "Is Shi Yuan planning to sneak across Weishui to sneak attack?" ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "That's right, it's a sneak attack tonight." ”

As long as he can successfully cross the past, he is confident enough to break through the defense line of those weapons, occupy the north bank of Weishui, and attack Yixian.

Liu Bei listened to Pang Tong's plan, so he was not idle, and led Zhang Wei to select those soldiers who were proficient in water.

The soldiers under him are basically Yizhou soldiers, and there are also water systems and river networks in Yizhou, and there are many people who know how to be water-based, and after the people are selected, they are not in a hurry to cross the river, Pang Tong led them to familiarize themselves with the various operations of crossing the river in Wugong Shui, and adapt to the current temperature.

Think of it as a walkthrough before you do it.

It's winter, the weather is cold, and although Wugong Water and Weishui are not frozen, the river water is bitterly cold.

They gritted their teeth and practiced in the water, soaked for a while, gradually adapted to the temperature of the water, and made sure that everyone could withstand it, and soon the time came to the evening of the next day.

"After nightfall, you can prepare to cross the river and attack at night."

Pang Tong looked into the sky, although it was not yet night, but he could vaguely see the faint shadow of the moon, and he was almost ready to do it.

Their pontoons were not disassembled.

Zhuge Liang on the other side did not destroy the pontoon bridge, perhaps because they were confident that even if Liu Bei was given a chance, they would not be able to break through the defense line on this side, so they did not dismantle the pontoon bridge and continued to wait for Liu Bei to attack.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves.

Zhao Yun ran from the west, and the heavy cavalry of 15,000 people all came to the shore and said, "Kong Ming, how is the situation?" ”

He came from Dasanguan, and said: "On the side of Chencang Road, Meng Qi and they have made arrangements to be stationed with General Ju, and there are also some people stationed on the Qishan Road side, and the most important side of the Baochuan Road is Mr. Tian, let me come back to help you, there are Meng Qi in the west, and it is not a big problem." ”

Enemies are easy to hit out of the ramp and need to be heavily garrisoned.

Ma Chao was originally in Liangzhou, but he was also transferred back by Yang Zhao.

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Bei wanted to attack, but we beat him back, and my side can also be stabilized." During the day, Zhong Envoy Jun went back to Chang'an first, ready to allocate a batch of grain and grass for us, and fight with Liu Bei for a long time, I can hold it on my side, but some of Liu Bei's main forces did come out of the Baochuan Road. ”

Hearing that it could be guarded, the problem was not very big, Zhao Yun said with confidence: "Then I'll stay here and see if I can help." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

The night is getting darker, and the full moon is high.

Tonight's moonlight is indeed bright.

The full moon hanging in the sky spreads the light all over the ground.

Zhuge Liang arranged a group of soldiers to keep vigil under the moonlight, raising their vigilance to the highest, and they went back to rest temporarily, but no one knew that more than 2,000 soldiers of the Shu army quietly crossed the river in the upper reaches of Weishui.

Weishui was cold, and it was about to freeze the blood, but those soldiers were not afraid.

They quietly came to the shore and killed Zhuge Liang and their defense line on the shore, and they were not afraid of the cold and soaked clothes on their bodies, and they were carrying explosive bags on their backs.

Through Weishui, in order to ensure that the explosive bag was not wet by water, Pang Tong also took waterproof measures and ordered people to find some plants with broad leaves on the Qinling Mountain, pick off the leaves, and wrap them in the outer layer of the explosive bag.

Each dynamite bag is wrapped in several layers of leaves, then covered with the cloth of the tent and brushed with a layer of tung oil to prevent waterproofing.

Still, there will definitely be wetting, but how much of it can be used normally depends on the will of God.

Even if only one works, it's enough for them.

The two thousand men soon groped their way to the vicinity of the camp.

Seeing the soldiers on vigil, they did not dare to get too close.

Start by searching for the location of those firearms.

The purpose of the explosives package is to blow up the firearms.

"Over here!"

A leader lowered his voice and said: "Kill it first, and then light the fire, there are about two thousand people who keep vigil at night, and they can fight and do it!" ”

Listening to this man's order, the other soldiers took out their bows and crossbows one after another.

They loaded the arrows and followed the leader to kill them.

"Shoot ......"

The leader whispered.

Arrows shoot out quickly.

The soldiers who kept vigil didn't expect that the Shu army would come to sneak attack, and they were caught off guard and shot down a large area.

Before others could beat the war drums to warn, some of the soldiers of the Shu army who attacked at night were responsible for shooting and covering, and some were responsible for lighting the explosives bags in their hands and throwing them at those firearms, and they turned around and ran away after throwing them away.

Rumble......

A deafening explosion echoed through the camp.

There are many explosive packs that are too wet to use, but some of them can explode, and as long as one of them can be used, those ammunition can be ignited, and even more amazing explosions will follow, and the sound of explosions will echo throughout the camp.

The ground is shaking.

The Weishui next to it was also shaken, and there were ripples in circles.

The soldiers who were on vigil were bombed a lot.

Among the Shu soldiers who came to attack at night, more than a dozen of them who were not walking fast were also blown up, and the rest of them hurriedly evacuated, and then prepared their bows and crossbows for the next round of shooting.

The terrifying explosion was about to overturn the camp and wake people up.

Those river horses were so shocked that they let out a cry of sorrow.

Zhuge Liang and they immediately jumped up.

Even without the use of war drums to warn, they knew that the enemy was coming, and commanded the assembly of an army that was also awakened.

"General Zhao, quickly gather the heavy cavalry."

"All soldiers, assemble as soon as possible and guard the defensive line."

"Bring out the machine guns again, and bring in our spare artillery."

"Quick!"

Zhuge Liang saw that the artillery and mortars they had placed on the defensive line, as well as all the shells, were blown up, and he was a little anxious, but he was also able to be fearless in the face of danger and stabilize the whole army with the fastest speed.

The machine gun, as their treasure, was put away after the fight, and it was not blown up just now.

The soldiers who were originally a little flustered, under the command of Zhuge Liang, gradually gathered, they had just finished cleaning the ground that had been blown up all over the ground, and were about to destroy Liu Bei's pontoon bridge, only to see that the soldiers of the Shu army had already killed through the pontoon bridge.

Zhuge Liang felt overconfident and despised the enemy, and even the pontoon bridge was not destroyed.

The first time he led the army, he ignored Liu Bei's side, and there were also capable people.

This time, careless!
