Chapter 230: Borrowing the Fog to Cross Forcibly
The range of the artillery in Erzhilek's mouth has dropped from ten miles all the way to three miles, not to mention, he really let him be right, Li Wei mainly brought a divine machine cannon this time, and the range is only three miles at most, and only a few Shenwei cannons can hit five miles.
However, after Darima listened, he was still suspicious, he didn't fight with the Ming army, he knew very well what level of artillery, how long had it been, and the Ming army suddenly had such a powerful artillery?
"Hmph, the general will believe you for the time being, if I find out that you lied about the military situation, I will not be spared!"
"Yes, yes, the last general will not dare!"
Erzhiluck wiped his cold sweat and replied respectfully, secretly glad in his heart, he had finally passed the test temporarily.
……
In the early morning, the fog is thick, the sun that has just risen is obscured and there is no shadow to be seen, and the trees and flowers are looming under the mist, and the whole world seems quiet and mysterious.
Less than ten miles away from Qujing, the camp of the Ming army became a long dragon and hid in the jungle and mountains.
Due to the harsh environment and mosquitoes, Li Wei barely fell asleep until late, but just when he was sleeping soundly, Wu Yong suddenly broke in.
"My lord, get up! The general has an order, and the whole army is marching quickly! ”
Li Wei woke up from his dream, twisted his eyebrows, and reluctantly opened his eyes to look at Wu Yong.
"So early, what's the hurry?"
"Don't ask, my lord, get up quickly, the military order cannot be delayed!"
Wu Yong urged urgently.
Li Wei sat up helplessly and sighed.
Wu Yong hurriedly fetched him clothes and helped him put them on his body.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Fu Youde looked at the fog in the sky and was pleasantly surprised: "Great, our army is not far from Qujing, some fog is covered, maybe we can directly cross the Baishi River and come to Qujing City!" ”
The two lieutenant generals Mu Ying and Wang Bi beside him were also very happy, Mu Ying looked up at the sun that had just emerged, and said, "What the general said is extremely true, but our army must move quickly." ”
"Hmm." Fu Youde nodded lightly, and said to the herald next to him again: "Pass the order, let the battalions set off immediately after they are fully equipped, march at full speed, and do not delay!" ”
"Yes!"
The heralds departed and again conveyed military orders to the battalions.
A moment later, the Ming army, under the urging of their respective generals, set off in the fog and marched rapidly towards Qujing.
Li Wei was also dressed neatly with Wu Yong's help, and he wanted to continue to catch up on sleep after boarding the carriage, but the violent bumps of the carriage's rapid movement made him unable to sit steadily, let alone sleep.
As time passed, the sun's figure gradually revealed, at first it was just a gray disk, then it turned from white to red, and rose higher and higher.
Seeing this, Fu Youde was immediately anxious, and ordered to urge one after another.
"Report! General, there is water ahead! ”
"Water?"
When Fu Youde heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately galloped to the front of the army.
I saw that the army had come to the bank of a large river at this time, and now the fog had not completely dispersed, and it was not clear how wide the river was.
"This should be Baishijiang, order the army to stop moving forward, and summon all the generals to my tent to listen to the order!" Fu Youde hurriedly ordered.
"Yes!"
After a while, the generals from all walks of life came to Fu Youde, and Fu Youde didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The front is the Baishi River, our army must cross the river before the fog clears, otherwise it will be discovered by the enemy, and it will be difficult to force it to cross!" ”
"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Hu Hai arched his hand.
The last battle of Puding was robbed by Li Wei's artillery, and Li Wei sneered so much that he couldn't raise his head along the way. At this time, when he saw that he had an opportunity, he immediately invited himself to fight.
Fu Youde thought about it, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will order you to choose the elite three thousand as the vanguard, and cross the river immediately without delay!" ”
"Yes!"
Hu Hai was ordered, did not dare to hesitate, turned around and left to select the elite to cross the river.
Next, Fu Youde arranged the order of crossing the river for the other departments, and ordered in a deep voice:
"When you go back, you must prepare immediately, cross the river in turn, and do not delay!"
"The last general obeys!"
Everyone took the order together, and Li Wei also hurried back to the Shenji Battalion, but his Shenji Battalion was originally a back-row player, and the transportation of artillery or something was inconvenient, so he could only be placed at the end, so he was not in a hurry.
The fog is getting thinner and thinner, because he has long learned the news that the Ming army is coming, Darima arranged a sentry to patrol along the river early on the riverside, and as the fog dissipated, he immediately found the Ming army on the opposite bank who could not see the edge of the black pressure, and was immediately shocked, and quickly turned his horse's head back to the city to report.
"Report! A large number of Ming troops appeared on the other side of the Baishi River! ”
"What? The Ming army has arrived? Darima was horrified: "Hurry! Order the soldiers to go out of the city immediately to intercept them, and they must not be allowed to cross the river! ”
"Yes!"
Darima hurriedly summoned the army out of the city, fortunately he knew that the Ming army was coming, and had already arranged for the army to be ready for battle at all times, and now with an order, hundreds of thousands of troops immediately swarmed out and rushed straight to the Baishi River.
The Baishi River is a natural barrier for Qujing, if the Ming army is allowed to cross it directly, then everything is over, and he has no confidence that he can still win against the 200,000 Ming army head-on!
On the side of the Ming army, Hu Hai led the elite who were good at swimming, carrying simple swords and soldiers to cross the river first.
Darima led the cavalry in front, and he couldn't wait for the infantry behind, so he patted his horse one after another and urged, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed straight to the Ming army first.
Fu Youde stared at the other side of the river, and when he saw the cavalry arriving at Da Lima, he was immediately in a hurry, and muttered in a low voice: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
However, Hu Hai and the others could not swim as fast as the cavalry after all, and Darima's army was getting closer and closer, and when they approached the river bank, they immediately showed the cavalry and archery skills of the Mongolian cavalry.
Dense arrows were fired at the vanguard Ming army that had crossed to the river, causing casualties in an instant.
Seeing this, the Ming army in the river also immediately dived, completely sinking into the water, trying to dodge, but the Baishi River is shallow, and in the face of such a dense number of arrows, the effect of diving to dodge is limited.
"Hurry ashore, hurry up!"
Hu Hai took the lead in the forced crossing, while roaring and urging the soldiers, at this time he didn't care about these dead and wounded, as long as they could land on the shore quickly, form a military formation, and block the enemy for a while, the army behind could cross the river one after another to keep up!
The 3,000 soldiers he brought were worthy of the name of elite, and in the face of successive casualties, they still rushed forward bravely, but Darima's army had already rushed to the riverside one after another, and even if a few Ming troops landed on the riverbank, they were quickly rushed up and slashed by these cavalry!
In the rear, Fu Youde was stunned, but he didn't want to give up such a great opportunity, so he gritted his teeth and hoped that Hu Hai could create a miracle and lay a good front for the army.
However, providence made people, the miracle did not appear after all, with the arrival of Darima's army, the Ming army who forcibly crossed the river was powerless to resist, the Baishi River was not as wide as Lixu, and the Ming army standing by the river could vaguely see that the river on the opposite bank was quickly stained red with blood at a speed visible to the naked eye!
