Chapter 381: Capture the Rolling City

It may be that Jia Yan's words moved the general, or it may be that the offensive of the Qin army shook the general. In short, the general no longer adhered to the doctrine of not crossing the river at night, and ordered the second group to cross the river. His subordinates came over to remind him that the night crossing was very dangerous, and the general pointed to the Qin army that had attacked and killed, and asked, "Which is the good luck between Qin and the river?" ”

The second group got on board and set sail. Safe.

Then came the third batch...... The offensive of the Qin army became more and more fierce, and the defense line of the Zhao army continued to retreat, and the battle line could already be clearly seen. At this time, the wind picked up on the river......

The tense fighting seemed to make people forget about the danger of crossing the Yellow River at night, and the third group got on board. As soon as they reached the center of the river, something went wrong, and a large number of boats lost control and swirled in the Yellow River, some rowed out in desperate despair, and most of them capsized.

Zhao Ren's strength to defy hardships and dangers was shown. The soldiers on the other side heard that their people were in danger and were waiting for their rescue, no one flinched, and drove all the boats straight across the river, including Zhao Zu, who had just crossed the river, and those who could drive the boats also got on the boats. Although several ships in the middle also capsized, it did not stop the hero's footsteps.

I don't know how many boats gathered on the riverside, and the ban on only ten people on each boat was broken, as long as there were vacant seats, they tried to get on as long as possible; When there is no room for it, sail because there is still a boat to dock next to it!

One by one, the overloaded boats capsized in the middle of the river, with few exceptions, but the sound of the soldiers falling into the water was drowned out because of the high waves and the fact that there were far more people on board than left. Zhao Bing on the shore was still swarming into the boat.

The battle was getting tighter and tighter, the defensive line was retreating more and more, and the soldiers guarding the line were desperately resisting just to give their comrades a little more time to board the ship. When there were still 10,000 people left on the shore, the situation in the middle of the river was finally discovered. The wind and waves were strong, the sky was dark, and the situation on the river was not clear, but the cries for help of the soldiers who fell into the water finally overwhelmed the wind and waves and were transmitted to the shore. At this time, everyone seemed to realize how dangerous it is to cross the Yellow River at night!

Except for the soldiers who fought on the shore, almost all of them got on board. The fear of the Qin soldiers overcame the fear of the Yellow River, and except for the dozens of soldiers who were ready to transport the broken ones, the rest of the ships set sail en masse and sail into the darkness. …… I don't know how many have arrived on the other side......

The Zhao army, which was fighting, also abandoned the enemy at this time, turned around and ran in the direction of the ferry, and the arrows of the Qin army came one by one, and the shore fell. As long as they could walk, they all got on the boat, but if they couldn't, those who had companions to support them also got on the boat. When the Qin army chased to the river, they clicked on the bow of the boat and rushed into the darkness. The seriously wounded who remained on the shore desperately entangled the Qin army, let the spear and halberd pierce into their bodies, and also clung to the Qin army.

About ten boats did not escape and were captured by the Qin army. They had all crossed the river, and they had come back this time to pick up another batch.

On the other side of the river, Hu Yang came over in a small boat, and only brought a few public passengers. Although the river is connected, Jishui is surprisingly peaceful, which is obviously different from the crazy Yellow River. Although Hu Yang is a night crossing, it is very stable.

After crossing the river, Hu Yang saw Bai Qi. Bai Qi patted Hu Yang's back very neatly and said, "Hu Qing is good at fighting, I should be respected!" ”

Hu Yang didn't have any nonsense, and said directly: "Qijun Marquis, the ministers have a plan, I wish the prince and the marquis will do it!" ”

Bai Qi said: "What is the policy? ”

Hu Yang said: "Going down the river, it is Wei Juan City, and it is also the fortress of the Great Wall." The ministers are willing to attack it. ”

Bai Qi said: "What should you do to attack it?" ”

Hu Yang said: "It's still the same as before, day and night, but two nights, you can reach the city." ”

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "The Zhao army is sinking, and it will float in the river day and day." You can salvage along the coast, serve Zhao more clothes, and falsely claim that the Zhao army is defeated and the rest of the pawn may be convenient. ”

Hu Yang was overjoyed and said, "I would like to serve the teachings of the princes." ”

Bai Qi said: "You can sleep peacefully tonight, and you can get up on the day." ”

Hu Yang said: "On the bank of the river, the people are still crowded, do not sleep peacefully, and urgently find a place to hide." ”

Bai Qi said: "The work of loneliness is half of it!" ”

Hu Yang said: "Don't dare to give the gift of the prince." Make meritorious contributions, and men should be at their own expense. ”

Bai Qi patted Hu Yang's back again and said, "Good man!" Ran Gu didn't dare to be greedy for the merit of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Hu Yang went back by boat. There was a faint command on the other side, and Hu Yang led his troops and didn't know where he went. Bai Qi demarcated the defense area, released a cordon, and went to the battalions to check the posts, and the sky was almost dawn. He returned to his tent, and his armor was unraveled, and he fell asleep, snoring like thunder.

After dawn, the wind and waves on the Yellow River were calm, as if yesterday's wind and waves were just an illusion. But the corpses floating on the river tell of the brutal battle of last night. Some were washed to the other side by the water, and they were picked up by Zhao Jun, which can be regarded as a soul returning to their hometown; Those who were rushed to this side were fished up by the Qin army and beheaded by the Qin army, which can add a stroke to the military merits. Most of them are washed downstream, and they don't know who will strip them of their clothes and become wandering spirits in other lands.

The Great Wall of Wei started from the bank of the Yellow River, and a small city was built at the starting point. In addition to guarding the Great Wall, the Yellow River hydrology, fishery, boat ferries, etc., are also readily available. Thousands of soldiers were conscripted for military service in various places. There are about thousands of inhabitants in the city, mainly in the various levels of the government. There are also some people who open wine shops, travel against the road, and run various businesses, mainly living outside the city, and those who can live in the city are all giant businessmen.

There is a small settlement in the west of the city, called Hu. Huyi is a small fishing village, with about 100 households, and only a few of the people in Huyi farm land, and most of them fish on the Yellow River. If you have a harvest, except for keeping a part for your own food, you can sell it to the fish Jia in the city, and then you can exchange it for some daily necessities and food you need in the market.

At noon, a team of about 1,000 people appeared near Huyi. The lookout on the roll city saw them and immediately raised the alarm. When the doorman saw this, he immediately sent someone to investigate, while reporting to his superiors. Captain Juan looked at it and said, "My view is the Zhao army, or the soldiers of Zhao Zhengyu." When he was young, the soldiers on patrol came back and reported that the group of people were playing Zhao Yin, claiming to be the remnants of the Zhao army, and they had to escape by swimming across the river at the risk of death. When the doorman saw that the group of people had entered Huyi and no longer came out, and there was no major movement in Huyi, he was relieved and no longer cared about him.

At sunset, the fishing boats that had gone out to fish gradually returned to their homes. The fisherman was a little surprised at first when he saw that there were so many soldiers gathered in the city, but the elder came out to explain that this was the soldier of the Zhao State on the other side, and after the defeat, he fled to Benyi, preparing to return to the Zhao State by way of the city. When the fisherman was fishing on the river, he did see countless corpses of Zhao Jun flowing down the river; Moreover, the upper reaches of the river have been blocked, and from a distance it looks like there are troops stationed. And they all believed it.

The officer at the head said to the fisherman: "We have no way to repay the food we have inherited. When he entered the city when he was young, he was willing to serve. “

The elders even said, "How dare you", the officers must go. Without saying anything, he changed clothes with the young man who accompanied him. Seeing this momentum, the people of Yi knew that it was not easy, and they didn't dare to resist, so they half-pushed and half-obeyed. But he knew that something bad was coming, and he was very afraid.

After the fishermen had left the fish for their own consumption, they left the remaining big fish in the cabin, and an elder led the boat to the city. The group of Zhao Jun was three or five people on a boat, so they put the equipment in the cabin. At the same time, more than a dozen Zhao soldiers did not bring any equipment and came straight to Hucheng.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Zhao Jun explained his intention: he was the Zhao army who was attacked last night, swam through Jishui, and finally escaped here. "I am willing to borrow your town and send us home."

The guards reported in, the doorman came over, and carefully inquired about the situation last night, and the group of Zhao Jun patiently answered one by one. The surrounding guards also listened attentively and gradually gathered around.

At this time, there was a quarrel on the other side of the water gate. Zhao Jun suddenly turned his face, pulled out the short sword from his arms, and the two of them put down all the soldiers guarding the door. Grabbing the spears and halberds in their hands, he turned back and rushed to the wall, stabbing several before the guards could react, and the rest fled in a hurry. The leader immediately set a fire on the castle tower. When the Zhao army in Huyi saw the firelight, they all rushed out.

About a hundred people came from the ship, and they ran rampant through the city, so that the city could not gather troops. A dozen or so people at the city gate set fire to all the surrounding houses, cutting off the passage.

Captain Juan finally gathered dozens of soldiers, rushed over to fight for the city gate in smoke, and killed more than a dozen as soon as they fought, and the rest turned around and ran, leaving only Captain Juan alone, and he didn't dare to run, and he didn't dare to fight, so he was disarmed by this group of Zhao troops and held on the city tower.

Seeing such chaos in the city, the defenders of each gate panicked one by one, and most of them fled from the city. Only one guard restrained his troops and slaughtered at the gate. When the officers at the gate noticed this, they immediately beat their drums, and the hundred men quickly gathered in this direction. Where had that group of peasants seen a fight with real knives and guns, and as soon as they saw someone falling, they dispersed in a hurry.

It only took a moment for a thousand Zhao troops to rush into the city and take control of the situation. Subsequently, Huyang's army from thirty miles away arrived, and the city was captured.

Hu Yang sent an envoy to drive a small boat, sail along the coast, and go to the Baiqi camp to report the incident. Bai Qi used those ten boats to cross for a day, crossed 5,000 people, sent a public attendant to lead them, and ordered them to go to Juan Cheng and return to the command of Hu Yang, the guest secretary. The rest of the troops completed all the aftermath work on the same day and were stationed in Xingyang the next day. On the one hand, he sent someone to report to the marquis.

The marquis set up the camp in Huayang City, and Huayang Wei's family has been killed, and Huayang has become an empty city.

The Marquis sent envoys to Zheng, Daliang, and Handan to rebuke Han, Wei, and Zhao for reneging on their alliance with Qin.

Zheng is closest to Huayang. After the envoy entered the Zheng Kingdom, the pedestrian Mansion Langzhong said with a sad face: "My king died last night, and he was about to mourn the nations. The messenger is glad to be innocent! We are guilty of the big country, and the big country is responsible, and we dare not resign, and I am willing to mourn! “

The envoy had no choice but to lead the Korean mourning envoy back to the barracks.

The envoy repeatedly apologized. The marquis didn't say much to him, but only ordered him to go to Xianyang to report the funeral. He invited Chen Zheng to enter South Korea to negotiate the terms of peace.

Daliang sent Duan Zigan out of the city to negotiate peace with the marquis.

Zhao sent Shangqing Lin Xiangru, and at the same time, Zhao's general Lian Po led his army into the banks of the Yellow River.

After Chen Xiao's mediation, Prince Han finally sent Han Ping as an envoy to negotiate peace.
