Chapter 99: Camp by the River

Hyosa's words caught everyone's attention. Tao is the fief of Marquis Wei Ran, and this soldier Cao is the soldier Cao of the Marquis, and he is the assistant of the Marquis in handling military affairs, so what he says will naturally not be untargeted.

At noon, Hu Yang was hit by a stray arrow on the cheekbone of his calf, although it was not heavy, but it was still a little painful. Suddenly turned around, touched the wound, caused a frown, almost screamed, and forcibly asked, "How far is Tao?" What should we do? ”

Unexpectedly, Bing Cao shook his head and said, "The way is unknown. In the past, it was said that the land was close to pottery, which was quite convenient. ”

In the middle of the words, someone reported that Sima Jin's rear army had arrived. Before he could say anything, Sima Jin ran over by himself. He said to Hu Yang and Wang Di: "Camp behind the river, Lian Po died, what can I do? ”

Hu Yang was taken aback and asked, "Zhao Jun is unexpected?" ”

Sima Jin said: "No." However, Zhangshui is here, more than 50 miles, and the light army can reach it in half a day, how can it be ignored? ”

Wang Yi said: "This place is close to Ningxinzhong, and it is convenient to set up camp. ”

Sima Jin said: "My great enemy is not Wei Zhining Xinzhong, but Zhao Zhilian. May it be easier! ”

Hu Yang said: "I hope the doctor will choose another place, and we will follow." ”

Sima Jin said: "Rong Chen looks at it. He hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Hu Yang said: "When he was young, if Dr. Sima got his land, he might as well move the camp; If you can't do it, you still rely on the doctor. Wang Yi shook his head slightly.

When he was young, Sima Jin came over and said: "There is no need to go far, there is a bridge in five miles here, and we can live in the water, and we can resist the enemy." ”

Wang Yi said: "If you live on both sides of the strait by the bridge, in a hurry, the two sides of the strait will not be able to save each other. If you are on the same shore, you can save each other. ”

Sima Jin said: "If we are honest, we will face the enemy with our backs, and it will be difficult." It is not as convenient as the river. ”

Wang Yu said: "If we cross the river, what is the new middle school in Naining?" ”

Sima Jin said: "He Xiaoyi also." There are no more than a thousand soldiers, and there is nothing to worry about. Zhao, a strong enemy, be the first to resist it! ”

Hu Yang said: "Ning Xinzhong rejects me, and the way to Nanyang is difficult to pass." I may live here for a few days, or attack Ningning, or find another way, and the doctor will not look for a place in the city, thinking that the army will stay for a long time. Staying overnight tonight, it's inconvenient to move. ”

Sima Jin heard what he meant from Hu Yang's tone, and said, "Oh! Downstream, there are many cities. Ministers go to stay there, so that they can stay tomorrow. ”

Hu Yang said: "It's okay! So Sima Jin left, ordered the men and horses to turn downstream, and quickly crossed the bridge. When Wang Ji saw him leaving, he said, "The rubber pillar is drumming, self-righteous!" ”

Hu Yang said: "It is necessary to move the camp every day." Today, Jin is for it, and the doctor will work less! However, Lian is quite good at fighting, and he can't take advantage of it. May the doctor be far away from the scouts and whistle him. So he ordered all the battalions to patrol ten miles away.

What he had just talked about was interrupted by Sima Jin, and Hu Yang was very interested. He asked Wang Dao: "If you go to Tao, what can I do?" ”

Wang Yi said: "The minister doesn't know geography, and he doesn't dare to hear about it." ”

Hu Yang suddenly thought of Chen Si, and said secretly in his heart: "The other son has to work again." He was completely unaware of the situation and couldn't tell why, so he decided to find someone who knew about the situation first. Then he said: "The doctor is camping, and the minister should go to the Chinese army to comfort him." Let's talk about it later. Wang Yu sent Hu Yang away and ordered the whole army to strengthen vigilance. Because Sima Jin was not in the position he had arranged, he still had to take care of the safety of the Chinese army.

The camp that Wang arranged for Hu Yang was in a small town. There are many livestock in the Chinese army, and there are many injuries and diseases, which crowds Xiaoyi to the brim. Hu Yang also found that if Lian Po wanted to come to a sneak attack, he would be the best target: the soldiers who could really fight were only a battalion, with heavy baggage and many livestock. Although Ye Ling was injured in many places, some of which were still very serious, he was not counted among the wounded soldiers, and he was still in charge of Ye Ying. Along the way, Hu Yang arranged Ye Ling to take a Qigu car with him and did not let him walk. The management of Ye Ying was handed over to Zheng Anping. After setting up camp, Ye Ling and Zheng Anping both felt that the defenses here were relatively weak, although they did not know that Sima Jin had pulled the troops across the river, they were also very concerned about the vigilance of the Chinese army.

Zheng Anping found that the most of the wounded were spearmen and halberders, while the crossbowmen were rarely injured. discussed with Ye Ling and deployed weapons: the wounded soldiers who could still fight let them hold crossbows, and the uninjured soldiers were temporarily changed to shield soldiers and spearmen; The halberd, who was lightly wounded, was responsible for guarding and patrolling. Zheng Anping also went around the camp several times, pondering the things to guard.

When Hu Yang came back from Wang Di, he found Zheng Anping patrolling the venue, so he stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "If you look at the terrain, if the enemy arrives, you can know the advance and retreat." ”

Hu Yang found it very interesting and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Our army is lonely in the city, and there is no wilderness as far as the eye can see, and the river is back. There are armies on the left and right. Forgive Zhao without gaps. The fearful, the wounded are many, and the capable are few. The ministers have made a slight transfer of their people, so that the healthy ones go before and the wounded ones last, and the heavy ones hold bows and crossbows. If the minister thinks about it, if the livestock live outside, if the enemy sneaks in, the people may not be aware, and the donkeys and horses know it early, so it will not cause trouble. ”

Hu Yang praised: "Deep, your thoughts are also!" If you live outside the livestock, you will also be fed, and you will be alerted, and you will be able to kill two birds with one stone. "The order was to set up a stable factory one mile outside the city, and the surplus of a thousand heads of cattle should be sparsely discharged for three or five miles, so as to cover up the whole army's approach. The old and weak who raise their animals rest next to the stable.

Most of these wounded were sustained during yesterday's fighting. Ye Ying has been following Hu Yang's break, harassing the Zhao army at night, fighting with the Zhao army in the early morning, and at night, as one of the main forces of the battle, fighting all night, only sleeping for an hour in the early morning. After waking up, they have been responsible for the defense of Wucheng until all the troops have withdrawn from the river, and they are the last to cross the river. After crossing the river, he assisted in transporting the wounded, marched another fifty miles, and just now changed weapons and re-arrayed, and did not end until midnight. I was sleepy, and I fell asleep.

Zheng Anping didn't dare to sleep quietly, he was always worried that Zhao Jun might sneak attack, so he told Hu Yang and Ye Ling, found a place in the stable factory, and lay on the ground with the old and weak. Naturally, the fire could not be lit in the stable, and the cold at night was pressing, and the fishy smell of the cattle disturbed Zheng Anping to sleep, and this was exactly what Zheng Anping wanted: he was afraid that he would fall asleep and miss something. I don't know how long it took, but when I was half-asleep and half-awake, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing. Zheng Anping jumped up, picked up his halberd, and rushed to the field in front of the city. The wagon was right there. It wasn't until he rushed to the front of the drum car that Zheng Anping fully came to his senses, and when he listened attentively, he found that the shouting and killing was not nearby, but seemed to be downstream. I listened carefully, and although the sound was subtle, the shouting was correct. He quickly jumped on the buggy and sounded the alarm. Almost at the same time as Zheng Anping sounded the alarm, the alarm was also sounded in the downstream Sima Jin camp. All the soldiers of the whole army who could still fight were concentrated in battalions and held around the camp. Hu Yang sent out a sentry to the area where the shouts were made. Soon after, the sentry returned, bringing back an envoy. The military envoy reported that the Zhao army attacked Sima Jin's camp gate by boat, but fortunately, the Zhao army did not expect Sima Jin to be in Henan, so they went to the north bank of the river first, and were discovered by Sima Jin's guards who called the police. The Zhao army immediately launched an attack on Sima Jin's camp on the south bank of the river; At present, all battalions are blocking and are deploying troops to meet the attack, please take precautions and don't fall for thieves! Hu Yang immediately sent an envoy to Wang Di's camp.

At this time, Wang Di's envoy had also arrived, and reported that the patrol posts of the battalions had not found any enemy troops, but when they heard the shouts of killing, they had ordered the battalions to be on alert and alerted. Hu Yang asked the military envoy to report back to Wang Di, and the camp of Dr. Sima was attacked by the Zhao army from the river, and he is now resisting; Doctor Sima instructed all battalions to block and not fall for the enemy's plan! The envoy took the words and left.

After Zheng Anping sounded the alarm, he immediately came to Yizhong and brought Hu Yang and his guards to the front of Yi. Although it is said that it is an army, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers who can fight, and they do not live in separate camps, but live in one city. Ye Ling was injured, Zheng Anping had to go beyond his behalf, and commanded the assembled troops to go to various points to defend, and he personally led the team to guard the side leading to the downstream. Later, he found that the bridge two miles away was the basis for communicating the two camps, so he led fifty halberdiers and fifty crossbowmen to the bridge and set up an outpost position.

The bridge is slightly higher and has a wide field of view, and with the sparse moon and stars, the visibility is good, so the battle under the bridge can be seen at a glance.

There are a large number of small boats lining the river, roughly counting more than a hundred. Only one or two soldiers were left to guard the ship, and the rest went ashore. Zheng Anping was relieved: this army only had more than 1,000 people, which was not enough to cause huge losses. Moreover, this time there was a commotion, and the whole army had already woken up and entered a defensive position, and it was probably impossible to carry out a sneak attack from other directions.

This Zhao army did not storm the camp fence of the Qin army, but galloped back and forth in the gap between the camps, as if looking for an opportunity. However, all battalions of the Qin army were heavily guarded, and they did not find much opportunity. Moreover, Zheng Anping also saw that in the battalion that was not attacked, troops had been sent to prepare to attack the Zhao army who was sneaking up.

Zheng Anping regretted that he had replaced all the crossbowmen with sick soldiers. If he is now leading a strong army, he can touch the river and scatter the boats left by the river. Presumably, there will be chaos in the Zhao army on the shore! But now, the crossbowmen were the more seriously wounded soldiers, and the halberders were also wounded, but the injuries were minor. No one should be alone.

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw that it was Hu Yang who came up with his personal guards. Zheng Anping quietly pointed to the following and explained: If he is Zhao Jun, he only patrols the camp; If this is the Qin army, it is being drawn out of various battalions and preparing to encircle this Zhao army. Then he pointed to the shore and said, "If you have a hundred men and attack their ferry, their army will be in chaos." “

Hu Yang looked at the situation below and said, "You lead the guards there, but what?" “

Zheng Anping said: "No, its momentum is difficult to understand, and the guards are only a little away." “

Hu Yang said: "If I guard the bridge, I will be safe." “

Zheng Anping said: "If there is a small enemy sneak attack, who will be safe?" “

Hu Yang said: "If you go to the past, if there is an ambush army, you will come out." I have led my army home. “
