The turmoil in Yecheng did not spread to other places under the intentional control, and Fenbei was still in full swing, after Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong jointly expelled Yu Wenxian's forces.

The two cities of Weiwei and Pingkou were broken by the Yuwenhu army, and Wei Xiangyuan and Dugu Xuda were defeated and retreated, leading more than 1,000 remnants of the army to flee from Dinglong.

Yiyang has lost even the last of its solidarity, and has completely fallen into a situation of isolation. Tian Hong and Yu Wenchun accelerated the pace of attacking Yiyang.

Yuwen ordered Guo Rong to lead the army from Fengling to the north of Shun River, cross the river to break through the defense line of the Qi army, recapture Fenzhou, Yaoxiang, Dingyang, and relieve the siege of Yubi.

At the end of July, Yuwen Hu built a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River, led his army to cross the river, and fought a decisive battle with Duan Shao.

Finally, the final battle between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi on this land began on the edge of the roaring Yellow River......

The starry night is like rain, and the moon is not very bright. At the foot is the roaring waves of the Yellow River, and countless torches on the opposite bank are lined up in a long line, moving, like a falling Milky Way, which is extremely magnificent, and is dyed in the dark night.

Duan Shao, Gao Yanzong, and Gao Changgong immediately stared at each other on a mountain cliff, and after a long time, Duan Shao sighed softly and said, "Yuwen Hu is going to move the real thing......"

Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong were both silent, the entire territory of Fenbei was captured, and Fennan was also about to fall into the hands of the Qi army, and even Hedong was captured by the Qi army. This time, he came out of the nest and was desperate to fight the Qi army.

The Zhou army was attacking fiercely, and even Duan Shao felt a headache. Gao Yanzong observed for a long time, and there was no good countermeasure, "The Zhou army is menacing, our army is weak, they have three ferries to land, and we can't divide our troops to guard them one by one, how is this good?" ”

Far from it, the main hoarding place of the Qi army now is Longmen, which is also the most likely landing port for the Zhou army.

But there is more than one place for Yuwen Hu to choose, he can also choose Mengmen and Matouguan.

Mengmen is the upper mouth of the Dragon Gate, in the downstream of the Hanging Hukou Waterfall, the mountains are undulating, magnificent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yuwen Hu is unlikely to choose here.

In contrast, Matouguan is more likely to be selected by Yuwen Hu, there are two Yellow River crossings in the area of Matouguan, and the south of the pass is bordered by the river. If Duan Shao was Yuwen Hu, he would also consider crossing the river in this place.

Duan Shao pondered for a long time and said, "We can't defend on the shore, waiting for them to attack us is too passive, we will directly block them on the surface of the Yellow River." ”

These three locations are the weak points of the Qi army, and if they wait for the Zhou army to attack, then the Qi army will be too passive. It's better for him to take the initiative to attack and block the Yuwen Protector army on the river, as long as they are stopped, there is no need to hold those ferries.

"On the upper reaches of the opposite bank of the river crossed by the Zhou army, arrange bamboo rafts and big boats, and when the Zhou army crosses the river along the pontoon bridge, attack the pontoon bridge and rush! Bump! Fire Attack! Archery! I don't care what method they use, I must drag Zhou Jun to death! ”

"Governor ......, even so, the last general feels that he still can't hold the ......" Gao Changgong thought for a while, and said: "Our army doesn't have many rafts, and the resulting attacks are like lice on a big snake for the Zhou army, besides, the river here is turbulent, and the river is extremely dangerous, if it is a large-scale attack by raft warships, our losses will be far more serious than that of the Zhou army......"

Duan Shao nodded and said, "This old man has also taken it into consideration, but do you have a better way?" Gao Yanzong, Gao Changgong and the others shook their heads one after another, they really couldn't think of a better way.

So Duan Shao directly clapped the board and said: "Then do as the old man said, order Han Changluan to lead three thousand soldiers with a raft to ambush and wait for the opportunity to move, Ah Yuzi, set up camp on the cliff downstream, prepare enough rolling stones and wood, and give them a hard time when the Zhou army is preparing to turn the road!" ”

When it is clear that you can't stop others, the rogue style of play is also a good choice. Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong both understood, Duan Shao didn't have any other way at all, his method was just one word, drag. Slow down the pace of the Zhou army, drag the patience of the Zhou army, and drag the military strength of the Zhou army.

"Metropolitan Governor...... do you have any other back-ups?" Gao Yanzong, who had already figured out Duan Shao's temper, asked. Duan Shao, an old guy, is an old man, and generally speaking, everything he does on this kind of issue is meaningful.

Duan Shao sighed indescribably, "What is the old man's backhand?" What the old man can do after that is to spend time with Yuwen Hu step by step, don't let him hit Dingyang, this is the bottom line of the old man......"

As long as Yuwen Hu can't recapture Dingyang and Yaoxiang, Fenbei will be firmly in the hands of Northern Qi, facing Dinglong and threatening Yubi and Hedong.

As for other ......, in Duan Shao's opinion, they are all chicken ribs and inconsequential existences.

"A few days ago, I heard that Tian Hong took another city ......"

At this time, Gao Yanzong suddenly remembered Yiyang, which had been ignored for several months, and Fu Fu was still struggling to support it in Yiyang.

"Hmm, Fu Fu, ......, Yiyang hasn't lost it yet, he's very good...... Duan Shao nodded, "Tian Hong is a veteran, and his military skills are no less than Guo Rong, Hou Longen, and even ...... There is still a victory, Fu Fu has supported him for so long without reinforcements and food and grass is tight, it is amazing......"

"It's a pity......" Duan Shao sighed faintly, his tone was slightly heavy, with a little regret.

"Yiyang, I really can't spare it to save ......"

"Where is the left minister?"

"Hu Lu Mingyue is even more impossible, he is still at war with Wei Xiaokuan, where is the origin?

Even if he wants to save it, he won't leave Yubi at this time, Wei Xiaokuan's counterattack is very strong......"

The Qi army took Fenbei and attacked Yubi again, seeing that the gate of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was about to be opened, which was something that had not happened since Gao Huan.

More than 20 years later, the families of Hedong are once again facing a great threat from the east. So they chose to send troops to support Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Xiaokuan's backstage is hard, and he has enough confidence to deal with Hu Luguang, Hu Luguang and Wei Xiaokuan have been fighting for many days, and they have not bargained much.

Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong were silent, it would be a pity if Yiyang gave up......

After a long time, Duan Shao said: "The old man is reluctant, but ...... Alas, ......I don't know if Dugu Yongye can pull out......"

"Pass on the old man's order, and order Dugu Yongye to support Yiyang outside Yiyang and Dinglong."

"Tell Fu Fu...... He has already gained enough time for our army, and His Majesty Yiyang will not blame him if he can't keep it, when he has to, he can withdraw......" When Duan Shao looked back, the fire on the opposite bank became clearer and clearer, spreading to the sky, "For the time being, ...... So be it......"

In fact, Duan Shao's advance deployment was very forward-looking, Yuwen Hu did not have the patience to wait for dawn, and most of the men and horses had not yet been fully gathered, so Yuwen Hu ordered Guo Rong to lead his troops to cross the river.

Thousands of Zhou troops stepped on the pontoon bridge, which was just wide enough to accommodate three people side by side, a full eight lanes, and could accommodate thousands of people crossing the river at the same time.

At this time, the Yellow River is relatively turbulent, the pontoon bridge fluctuates with the turbulent Yellow River water, even if Guo Rong ordered to tie the pontoon bridge together with iron cables, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the pontoon bridge, from time to time someone falls into the river because the center of gravity is unstable, sometimes it is an individual, sometimes a small group of people fall into the water collectively.

Guo Rong's face was full of black lines, and he shouted: "Keep your distance from the front and back!" Don't get too close, keep your distance from front to back! ”

Either they fall into the water together, or they don't fall into the water at all. In fact, the phenomenon of collective falling into the water is because the human body shakes with the shaking of the pontoon, and the people who are about to fall into the water will subconsciously pull the people on the side, and the pontoon bridge will also turn over in some places, and there will be a piece of people falling into the water.

People who fall into the water rarely have a chance to escape, and basically they are tossed in the water, and then a wave is extinguished. Sergeant Zhou desperately suppressed his fear and rushed forward, and suddenly found a bunch of strange black shadows appearing upstream of him. "That's ...... What is it? ”

There was a sharp whoosh in the sound of running water, and countless rockets shot into the clouds and swooped down. Most of the Zhou soldiers on the side didn't have time to resist and were shot on the spot!

Yuwen Hu watched from the cliff on the other side, heard the screams over there, twisted his brows and turned his head to look over, and pointed, "What's going on?" "Like...... Is someone overboard? The guard said uncertainly.

Just now they were only thinking about the progress of the army crossing the river, but they ignored this side. There was fire everywhere, and you couldn't notice it from a distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of fireflies-like rays of light rose from the dark canyon and slaughtered the Zhou army on the pontoon.

"The Qi army came down from the upstream and attacked......" Yuwen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Guo Rong was also like a great enemy, summoning hundreds of crossbowmen, staring closely at the direction of the rocket, the crossbowmen operated the bow, buckled the strings, and never looked away for a moment.

Suddenly, a bright flame rose from the darkness, and the timber tied to the raft and the front of the warship was ignited, and like a marquee, one warship after another showed its hideous figure in the dark night!

The Zhou army picked up the bow and crossbow, and the feather arrows swept in the direction of the Qi army's raft, and the Qi army had a clear deployment, and after a short period of panic, it quickly stabilized, and raised its shield to block, "Shoot those crossbowmen!" Others, don't mind anything else! Speed up and hit the pontoon! ”

Looking at these behemoths rushing quickly along the river, the soldiers and soldiers of Zhou on the first pontoon bridge widened their eyes in horror. The raft hit the pontoon with the force of its momentum, cutting it off! A large section of the pontoon bridge overturned on its side on the river, and many people tumbled and fell into the water!

"Stop them!" Some elite government troops reacted and continued to shoot the Qi army in the direction of the raft, and the Qi army was also seriously damaged after two or three charges, and many small rafts sank directly to the bottom of the river along with the pontoon bridge. All that's left are two relatively large ships.

Most of the Qi soldiers jumped onto the pontoon bridge and fought hand-to-hand with the Zhou army after losing the raft, and the battle was fierce. This is not the only Qi army, there are dozens of rafts floating on the river. Yuwen Hu snorted and ordered: "We will also send a few warships over, don't let them run away......"

He looked up at the sky, the moon was sinking, "Tell Guo Rong that tomorrow morning, the old man will go to the other side to ......!" ”

Can Qi Jun expect to stop him with such a small measure? He wouldn't be afraid anyway.
