Come to the cool river.

Heavy snowfall and low temperatures for several days have added a bit of thickness to the ice.

Song Che tied a broken blade into skates, slid back and forth on the ice a few times in front of Ma Guocheng and other generals, and then returned to the shore, pointed to the shoes under his feet and said:

"The secret of walking on thin ice without sinking lies in these shoes under my feet, if you can't do it, put on my shoes and experiment for yourself like my talent."

"Then I'll try!"

Ma Guocheng personally removed his armor, changed into skates, and according to Song Che's method, lowered the center of gravity and gradually slided. After slipping around twice, he returned with a laugh: "It's amazing, adding two blades to the soles of your shoes, and your body will be light and fluttering when you slide up, which is much easier than walking!" ”

Song Che said: "General Ma and I, both weigh one hundred and forty or fifty pounds, and we can be comfortable on this glacier, if we select a group of short and strong soldiers in the army, take off their armor, travel lightly, and then change into these 'skates', wouldn't it be safe to attack the enemy camp at night?" ”

"Mr. Song was able to escape among thousands of troops, I should have thought that he was not a layman!" Ma Guocheng knelt on one knee and hugged his fists to apologize to Song Che: "I, Ma Guocheng, am a rough man, just before I speak disrespectfully, please don't take Mr. to heart, if you are not angry, spur me on!" ”

"General, please get up." Song Che hurriedly helped Ma Guocheng up, and said with a smile: "To be honest, if I am a guard general, and a soldier wearing enemy armor suddenly appears, he will also be suspicious. ”

Subsequently, Song Che returned to the camp with the generals to discuss and implement the plan of the night attack.

On the way back, passing through Wengcheng Street, I saw that the ground was full of hunger, and I couldn't bear to look at the suffering in the world.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but the Hu people are besieging the city on three sides, and there are glaciers blocking it, and they can't escape if they want to.

Now Song Che brought skates, which also gave them hope of escape, so the next day, all the soldiers and civilians began to make skates.

After the night attack was successful tonight and the Hu soldiers were contained, all the soldiers and civilians unloaded their heavy objects, crossed the Lianghe River north lightly, and dared to flee into Fengming Pass when the Hu soldiers reacted, so that these 5,000 soldiers and civilians could win a glimmer of life.

After deciding on the night attack plan, Ma Guocheng selected 500 slightly lighter soldiers from the army, with Song Che as the instructor, to practice skating on the Lianghe River.

When night came, Song Che was so sleepy that he chewed some stiff dry food and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already the middle of the night, and he immediately ordered 500 elite soldiers with Ma Guocheng to come to the Lianghe River.

The elite soldiers wore skates on their feet and ordinary boots around their necks, and each man was armed with only a knife and carried animal ointment and other ignition materials.

"Master Pang, you and the people are waiting by the river, but when you see the fire in the Hu camp, you call on all the residents to cross to the other side of the Liang River, remember, don't be afraid of the cold, you can be light, don't seek speed, only stability, and don't cross the river in groups, lest the ice can't bear it;

After crossing the Lianghe River, quickly migrate to Fengming Pass, you must be fast, otherwise when the Hu soldiers react, with their bridge-building speed and iron weapons, they will soon catch up with you! ”

Before leaving, Song Che told the military advisor Pang Wei.

After that, there was no longer any delay, and 500 elite soldiers went up to the glacier and advanced in a triangular formation in the dark.

The reason why Song Che dared to plan this night attack was that he had grasped the psychology of the Hu people - no Hu people would have expected that an urn city with only two thousand defenders would come to attack ten times its size at night, and it was still a glacier that could burst at any time.

The riverbed of the Lianghe River is generally lower than the bank, and it is difficult to find it even if it is bright under the cover of the night, not to mention that all the way down, there is no Hu military station.

Half an hour later.

The enemy's fires stood out in the darkness.

Song Che led everyone to carefully climb the river bank, and then with the pre-designed, everyone took off their skates, changed into ordinary boots, and prepared to ignite the items.

"On the east side of the barracks is the hay field, and you don't need to get too close, as long as the rockets can get it...... The first column, the second column, you go around to the back of the forage field from the left side, the third column and the fourth column are directly ambushed on the left side, and the fifth column follows me to the right, which is where the Hu people's tent is located.

After the teams arrived at the designated position, they crawled in the snow and lay down, but when they saw the fire on the right side, everyone responded together, each person had three rockets, and after shooting, they went to the river, quickly changed their skates, and we crossed the Lianghe River directly, do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"The time for action is a quarter of an hour, go!"

Five hundred soldiers quietly climbed onto the river bank and began to move towards their respective areas of responsibility.

When they were a hundred steps closer to the barracks, they all lay on their stomachs in the snow and crawled forward, and when there were only fifty steps left, they had reached the range of the bow and arrow, and Song Che raised his hand slightly, signaling to stop advancing.

Looking at the Nahu military camp again, there was no movement except for the patrolling guards.

Song Che counted the time, and a quarter of an hour had arrived.

"Ignition!"

Ma Guocheng took out the fire fold and lit five torches coated with animal fat, and the archer was already ready to shoot the arrow, and quickly ignited the arrow!

"Launch!"

"Whoosh ......"

The first row is shot, the second row is filled, the third row is ignited, and the fourth row is interspersed!

Five hundred men, each with three arrows, or fifteen hundred, shot into the enemy camp from different directions.

"There's an enemy attack!"

The rocket fell into the barracks, and the sleeping enemy realized it later, and for a time the noise and fire ignited the night.

Rockets smeared with animal fat easily set the hay on fire, and the cold wind helped blow the flames in all directions, rows of tightly tied tents, but if one of them was ignited, the other rows could not be spared.

Soon, a raging fire broke out in the barracks, especially in the direction of the hay field, and the flames rose to the sky.

The three rockets of the Liang army had also been fired in a volley, and they did not hide in their prostration, but stood up and ran towards the Lianghe River.

"They're there!"

What if the enemy sees them? The sudden fire made them too late to wear their pants!

After a while, the Liang soldiers ran back to the cool river, quickly changed into skates, and quickly slid towards the other side of the river.

By the time the pursuers organized by the military camp arrived, most of the Liang soldiers had already crossed the Liang River.

"Give me a chase!" The pursuers were so angry that they tried to pursue them on the glacier, but the river was not only smooth but also fragile, and they swarmed up, and soon stepped out of the ice hole, and the outcome can be imagined.

"Even if they build a pontoon bridge, it will take at least an hour or two, let's hurry up and run!"

Everyone began to run wildly towards Fengming Pass, which was forty miles away.
