Chapter 262: The quicksand of the water is scattered a few times
Pu Qiancheng got off his horse and picked up a handful of sand on the shore.
The sand slices passed between the fingers, and occasionally one or two grains of crystal light could shine through.
Pu Qiancheng was in a trance, recalling the era when the eastern jackal rode south to the herdsmen and looked down on him.
The time is not far off.
The grains of sand quietly dispersed in the palm of his hand, leaving only a slight touch.
Pu Qiancheng's thoughts are like these grains of sand, wandering and elusive.
It's just that the world of the Donghu people will be like the sand in their hands, they can't hold it, they can't take it, they can only let it scatter? !
How did you become what you are today?
In fact, in the heart of Pu Qiancheng, a general like Donghu, he actually knows very well what is going on.
In a word, the Han army was defeated for twenty or thirty years in a row, and it directly bottomed out and rebounded.
There is another emperor who is unparalleled in the world, whether it is morale and military prestige, or even popular popularity, it is at the peak.
And the Donghu people have been defeated for several years, and even many people are used to it, and they are used to losing to the Han army and the Han emperor!
This time, in the face of the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army, who obviously had the strength to fight, their first reaction was not to organize a battle and compete to cross the water, but to think about escaping......
What is this?
Smell the wind and run!
Defeat without a fight!
Pu Qiancheng is not a general, in the front of Pu, he is not as good as Nie Qiang, not as good as Wang Luo, and not as good as the collapsed mentality of being abused, and Pu Qianguang who regards death as a relief.
At most, he is a first-class general, and he is on the same level as Leshun.
However, he knew that now not only Pu Qianbu, but even the entire Donghu had been beaten by Emperor Han alone, and he had collapsed a little.
If you want to turn this situation around, someone has to stand up and be the first to fight back, right?
This is Pu Qiancheng's idea, since he can't be high or low, then be the first person to stand up!
The fighting on the surface of the water has not stopped, and the wind along the shore is gusting.
The last grain of sand slipped from the tip of Pu Qiancheng's fingers.
He raised his saber.
"Storm the pontoon!"
Pu Qiancheng suddenly gave an order and directly led the army to rush to the starting point of the pontoon bridge on the shore.
"General!"
The general, who was still weak in his heart, was called Xilisi, and after listening to the military order, he hurriedly came forward to persuade him.
I thought you had some clever plan, and it turned out to be a hard pontoon?
The pontoon bridge used by the Han army was nothing more than a simple pontoon bridge connected by wooden planks and ropes, with pontoons underneath.
The pontoon bridge is narrow and allows only two people to ride through.
After all, there are only 3,000 people in the Han army, and such a pontoon bridge, under normal circumstances, as long as you line up to cross the bridge in an orderly manner, it can basically meet the passage requirements of the Han army.
But now the end of the pontoon bridge has been broken by their boat, which is already unstable, and some Han soldiers are withdrawing in an orderly manner.
Even the Han army, under the command of the Han Emperor, was a little crowded and the scene was more chaotic.
Is there any point in them following the pontoon?
Let's not talk about whether you can rush over, after rushing to the pontoon bridge, how can you take the Han army?
A large number of soldiers immediately pontoon bridge, there is no safety, the carrying capacity of the pontoon bridge is limited, so many people are crowded on the pontoon bridge, and there are no guardrails on both sides, this is crowded around, it is easy to be squeezed into the water.
The Han army is okay, carrying a basin on his back, and there is a precedent for crossing the river with a bathtub, so he may be happy if he falls into the water.
But on the side of the Donghu people, there is no means to resist water!
Even because they are pioneers, many of them are cavalry.
People and horses fell into the water together, and they were definitely the ones who lost!
After thinking about it, he persuaded hard:
"General, the last general knows that you have the ability, and not long ago you defeated the soldiers and horses of the Murong Army."
"But now we are facing the Han army, the Han army led by Liu Pheasant himself, and it is definitely not the time to be reckless!"
Pu Qiancheng turned his head suddenly, furious:
"Recklessness? What is recklessness? A hard-fought fight with the Han army, is it also called recklessness? ”
"There are only three thousand people left and right of the Han army, only Liu Pheasant and Lu Fengfu, the pontoon bridge has been broken, and the Han army has no way to retreat!"
"At this time, is it called recklessness?!"
"That's not what the last will mean!"
Oblique thought helplessly, and said again:
"The pontoon bridge has been broken, the Han army is no longer able to cross the water today, and our army wants to rush to cross, and there is no reason to give their lives for this!"
"And I won't let you die in vain!"
When Pu Qiancheng heard this, his face was full of hideousness:
"You can see Pu Qianrong today?!"
He's giving his life, but it's not in vain!
"Huh?"
Oblique thought for a moment, yes, it seems that since I started early, I haven't seen Pu Qianrong, and even faintly feels that there is still a part of the soldiers and horses missing.
His eyebrows tightened, Pu Qianrong took another part of the soldiers and horses to outflank him?
But in this water, where do the flanks come from?
took advantage of this side to drag the Han army and rush to the other side?
But a small group of soldiers and horses went to the other side, and it didn't seem to be of much use.
The Han army's pontoon bridges are broken, and they can't get to the other side!
Oblique thinking about it, it's still more life-sparing, he really can't stand a chessboard!
"That's not worth it!"
"Even if the general has a plan, why did he give the lives of the soldiers?"
Oblique Lisi hurriedly continued to dissuade:
"Today, the pontoon bridge has been broken, and the Han army will inevitably have losses, so please accept it when the general sees it!"
"Although our army has the position of vanguard, it is natural to open the way to block the enemy, but the pontoon bridge is broken, and our goal today has been achieved, and if the news is transmitted back to the Chinese army, the King of Khan will definitely reward us!"
Pu Qiancheng snorted coldly:
"Commendation?"
"Kill the enemy? How many miles of land have been taken? ”
"My eastern jackal rides across the world, when will it reach the point where I will only find out the enemy's situation and prevent the enemy from crossing the water, and I will be rewarded lavishly!"
No longer waiting for others to speak, Pu Qiancheng clamped the horse's belly with his legs, directly dragged Xilisi up from the horse, and went down with a knife, directly unloading one of Xianlisi's arms.
The arm was thrown directly on the ground, and Pu Qiancheng didn't care about life and death, but in the stunned state of the Manchu army, he raised the saber that was still bleeding, and raised his voice, almost like a demon:
"Just rush forward today!"
"Whether it's a chessboard, a pile to keep guests, a landslide, or a flood!"
"Ben will be at the forefront!"
"Just kill the past, Ben will die in battle, you will each find a way to live, if Ben Jiang does not die, he will definitely capture that Liu Pheasant alive, and congratulate you on the miraculous feats of the ages!"
"Kill it!"
Oblique Lisi supported the horse with one hand, half of his body was already bright red, because of the pain, his face was so hideous that he couldn't see the shape, and the whole person was like a demon in the Nine Shadows.
The blood was still there, but he gritted his teeth and roared:
"The general has said so, do we have anything to be afraid of?!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his saber with one hand, stabbed the horse's buttocks, and the horse suffered pain in his crotch, so he directly led him out of the military formation and rushed to the starting point of the pontoon bridge.
Before the soldiers of the Han army who were guarding the starting point could stop him, he had already fallen off his horse halfway through, and he saw that he would not survive.
I don't know if it was Pu Qiancheng's bold words or the brave blood of Diagonal Force, the Donghu soldiers did not hesitate, but immediately moved and killed the front of the pontoon bridge with Pu Qiancheng!
But he said that the battlefield on the water was a mess.
After the impact of the pontoon, it is no longer realistic to want to go forward.
Either take the basin and get off the pontoon bridge and swing slowly to the shore, or return to the shore the same way.
Liu Ke felt that the Donghu people might continue to rely on the boat and act on the water, so they mainly left their soldiers and horses on the pontoon bridge and retreated in turn.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Pu Qiancheng actually dared to take the initiative to attack the pontoon bridge and stop them from retreating.
The two armies were on the verge of breaking out.
Pu Qiancheng took the lead and was heroic, although he had the idea of buying time for Pu Qianrong with the sacrifice here, he didn't really simply send him to death to sharpen his knife for the Han army.
Whether it is a rhetoric or a feat, it is just a means to boost morale.
When he charged, he also brought all the guards, neither blind nor warlike.
At the expense of casualties, after fighting a way from the beginning of the pontoon bridge, he leaned over and went straight onto the pontoon bridge.
Killed several Han soldiers along the way.
By the way, he also stopped a small fishing boat that was in confusion for a while and couldn't find the north, and boarded it directly.
The Donghu soldier, who was frightened by Lu Feng's father on the small fishing boat, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Pu Qiancheng.
"The general really has the ability!!"
The Donghu soldiers on the fishing boat didn't care whether Pu Qiancheng's move was rational or not, but he only felt that he had found the backbone of the main heart in the confusion, so he smiled and put his heart at ease.
"Which way are we going?"
When Pu Qiancheng heard this, he directly pushed these soldiers who wanted to retreat into the water and summoned his own guards to board the boat.
"If you want to retreat, retreat yourself! Ben will never retreat half a step back today! ”
Pu Qiancheng immediately checked what was available in his fishing boat, some bales of firewood and straw, and a few fire folds, all of which were used to light the fire.
It's a pity that I didn't need it at all before.
"Ignite, break the bridge!"
Pu Qiancheng suddenly had an idea, and now the Han army can still retreat, although they seem to be blocking the retreat of the pontoon bridge, but the pontoon bridge is too narrow, and there are not many soldiers who can fight at the same time, and the advantage of the Donghu people's soldiers and horses can not be fully brought into play.
On the contrary, it was the soldiers of the Han army who jumped into the water first and wandered against the basin, and there was no pressure at all.
There is neither a bow and arrow to cover, nor a boat to pursue, let alone landing, just crossing to the other side, at most the speed is slower.
Now that there are no larger ships, it is not realistic to want to break the pontoon, so it may be a good idea to set fire to part of the pontoon.
Several guards around Pu Qiancheng looked at each other, such a small fishing boat, even if it can succeed in setting fire, it will be gone!
But they are all cronies who have followed Pu Qiancheng for many years, not to mention that they will cause a fire and break the bridge, even if Pu Qiancheng lets them die together, there will not be much hesitation.
knew that it was dangerous, but they all responded decisively.
And as Pu Qiancheng said, the Donghu people have dominated the world for decades, but it has only been five years since they fell to this point? !
Pu Qiancheng was directly ruthless, set the entire fishing boat on fire, and leaned on the pontoon.
The wind is smoky and the fire is together, and there is a tendency to expand!
"It's so ruthless!"
Liu Ke couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this scene.
This is really a will to die, should I say it or not, it is indeed reasonable for the Donghu people to occupy the world and force the Han to only Qiongzhou City.
But it just didn't work.
Liu Ke directly ordered to dispatch soldiers and horses, and let the soldiers forcibly board the fishing boat that was on fire by leaning on the bathtub.
Before the fireboat could get close to the pontoon, it collided with other ships, and its own people set fire to its own people, and in a short time three boats were burned, and the pontoon bridge was stunned for nothing.
However, the battlefield, which was already chaotic, was now obscured by thick smoke.
Lu Feng's father was also a little embarrassed at this time, he kept grabbing the boat and wanted to dock and kill Pu Qiancheng, an unknown person who was suspected of being two or five boys.
But when he finally got to the shore, Pu Qiancheng stepped on the horse and rushed directly to the bridge and went to the water.
It is not realistic to go back the same way, you can only start from the pontoon bridge and rush along the road, which is extremely annoying.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Han army who were retreating along the pontoon bridge could not see the flag clearly for a while.
In addition, the pontoon bridge is too narrow, and occasionally Donghu people kill through the beginning, which really makes people unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and the situation is even more chaotic.
Pu Qiancheng saw that the fireboat was useless, so he directly jumped into the water and swam for a while, boarded the pontoon, and at the same time relied on his personal bravery to fight with a white blade in person.
Under the cover of thick smoke, the battle and victory are unstoppable......
Liu Ke was under the thick smoke, not to mention that he was not allowed to smash it with a chessboard, and for a while he was hindered by the soldiers blocking the way, and he could not get close to melee with a chessboard spear.
"General, the situation is too chaotic, let's withdraw first!"
At this time, a personal guard raised a large shield for Pu Qiancheng, and at the same time advised:
"The pontoon bridge has been broken, and such chaos has been created, I am afraid that a large number of people and horses of the Han army have fallen into the water, and we have already made a contribution to the sky!"
"It's just that the situation is too chaotic, and the front end of the pontoon bridge can't be taken for a long time, so Lu Fengfu is killing all the way, it's really not suitable to fight for a long time!"
"It's better to withdraw first, rest for the night, and fight again next day!"
However, I don't know why, at this time, Pu Qiancheng seemed to have only killing the enemy left in his mind, and he was really the same as he said before, and he never retreated half a step.
Even on this swaying pontoon, where the vision is not clear, it has never retreated.
Even if it's just a small step, it's moving forward.
He was alone, at the forefront, holding a knife in one hand and snatching the big shield in the hands of his guards in the other, and waving it constantly, fearlessly.
Even if a stray arrow hits, the arrow pierces deep into the armor, and the vultures raise their knives and keep moving forward.
Those Han soldiers along the pontoon bridge were a little frightened for a while.
There were even Han soldiers who simply chose to jump into the water.
We are not afraid of the Donghu people, it's just that the pontoon bridge is too crowded, the smoke is thick, and we can't find the way, so we simply dive into the water, and the bathtub is still spacious.
And after killing for so long, the body is covered with sweat, bubble bath, wash it, it's normal!
Not to mention the Han soldiers, whether it is facing the willpower of the Guiyi Army or the Han Army's veterans, Pu Qiancheng is still not afraid, and he is moving forward more and more.
didn't even need Liu Ke to drive the donkey cart forward, Pu Qiancheng went up directly.
After Pu Qiancheng struggled to kill a Han soldier, he stepped on the air and almost fell off the pontoon bridge.
At this time, he had already seen Liu Ke's donkey cart, and at the same time, a sharp arrow hit his shoulder socket.
Under the pain, Pu Qiancheng still held the big shield and the saber, stood up, and couldn't help but shout angrily:
"Liu Pheasant, do you dare to kill me Pu Qiancheng!!"
