Chapter 205: Crossing the River
Two days ago, Ah Meng'er had already led a large army to camp ten miles away from Nanshui, and every morning, he would lead his guards up the nearby mountains to look at the Yan army's camp from afar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He found a very interesting thing in the Yan army's camp, every morning, the cooking smoke in the camp will be thinner than the previous day, and the cooking smoke will be shorter, which indicates that there is indeed a defection.
Ah Meng'er is a thoughtful person, although he has seen the changes in the Yan army's camp with his own eyes, he refuses to believe it easily, after all, the bloody lesson of the king of Dongchuan is in front of him, and he has to have an extra eye to prevent the Yan army from playing any tricks. It wasn't until early this morning that Wei Yan stepped over the ice with anger to surrender, which deepened the affirmation in Ah Meng'er's heart, and he decided to interrogate Wei Yan well, if Wei Yan could explain the doubts in his heart, he could completely believe what he saw.
Inside Ah Meng'er's big tent, Wei Yan stood proudly in the center, looking at Ah Meng'er without squinting. Ah Meng'er stared at Wei Yan for a long time, but couldn't see any flaws on Wei Yan's face, and then asked leisurely, "Who are you?"
Wei Yan replied brightly: "Xiao Cavalry General Wei Yan." ”
Ah Meng'er sneered and said teasingly, "What are you doing in this king's tent?"
A trace of resentment flashed on Wei Yan's face, and he raised his voice and said: "Champion Hou Yuanqi, the rewards and punishments are unknown, and a certain bluntly told him, but he repeatedly turned a deaf ear, and angrily reprimanded Yu XX, and a certain was not angry in his heart, so he came to offer advice to the king and jointly defeat Yuan Qi's department." After the matter is completed, I hope that the king can surrender the Yan army and hand it over to a certain person to deal with. ”
Wei Yan's words attracted Ah Meng'er's attention, and he asked, "What do you want those soldiers to do?"
Wei Yan replied: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and he should accomplish a great cause. There were 20,000 troops on the edge of the water. Although some have defected in the past few days, there are still six or seven thousand people left, if a certain person can get these people, he can wave his troops south and occupy Goguryeo in his hands, and at that time, a certain person will also be the lord of a country, you and I will join forces, who would dare to underestimate it?"
After listening to Wei Yan's explanation, Ah Meng'er suddenly realized in her heart. It turned out that Wei Yan wanted to recruit and surrender the pawns, and then capture Goguryeo and establish himself as the king. Wei Yan's prestige, Ah Meng'er has also heard of it, and knows that Wei Yan is a rare general in the Youzhou army, and even the King of Thorn Tameng was killed on the battlefield by him. Thinking about it, people like Xiang Wei Yan must not be willing to live under others for a long time, and it is reasonable to want to establish himself as a king, not to mention. Yuan Qi was angry with Wei Yan because of the defection of the sergeant, and repeatedly reprimanded Wei Yan, Wei Yan can endure it to this day, which has exceeded Ah Meng'er's expectations. Wei Yan was loudly reprimanded by Yuan Qi every morning, and the spies lurking nearby had already reported it to Ah Meng'er.
Then, Ah Meng'er asked another question in his heart: "Yuan Qi is known as the little overlord, he has experienced a hundred battles and is invincible, since there have been a large number of deserters, why does Yuan Qi insist on camping on the opposite side of the difficult water and refuse to retreat?"
"It is precisely because of the invincibility of a hundred battles that the current Yuan Qi has become arrogant and arrogant, and he is completely gone. He refused to withdraw from the army, mainly because Zhang Long, who was now entrenched in Goguryeo, was Yuan Qi's junior brother, and he believed that Zhang Long would soon send men and horses to support Yuan Qi. After Zhang Long sent troops, Goguryeo was bound to be empty, which was another reason why he wanted to defeat Goguryeo. Wei Yan replied calmly.
Smiling indifferently, Ah Meng'er said: "Wei Yan, although your abacus is very good, but what benefits can this king get from it? At this point, Ah Meng'er has believed Wei Yan's words, and believes that the Yan army has indeed defected a lot, the reason why he said this is nothing more than to maximize the benefits, in this alliance, Ah Meng'er occupies the initiative, Wei Yan only has more than 30 personal soldiers to follow, is it not to let A Meng'er put forward conditions?
Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "In this battle, a certain person is willing to be the vanguard and enter the Yuan Qi camp. A certain person knew the arrangement of their camp well, and at that time, a certain person set fire everywhere, burned the grain and grass, created chaos, and created a war plane for the king's army. ”
After thinking for a moment, Ah Meng'er slowly spit out two words: "Deal!"
An hour later, all the 50,000 horses brought by Ah Meng'er were assembled, divided into five queues, and only waited for Ah Meng'er to give an order, they would step on the ice in batches, cross the difficult water, and attack the Yuanqi military camp opposite the difficult water. Ah Meng'er stood at the front of the queue, looked at Wei Yan beside him, and said slowly, "General Wei, can you start?"
Wei Yan took a deep breath, clenched the big knife in his hand hard, turned back to Ah Meng'er and said, "King, just see the fire in the Yan military camp, quickly raise troops to answer so." After speaking, without waiting for Ah Meng'er to reply, Wei Yan rushed out first, followed by more than 30 personal soldiers, stepping on the difficult ice and rushing towards the Yan army camp.
As the king of Buyeo, Ah Meng'er is naturally familiar with the situation of difficult water. In the middle of the difficult water, the water flow is gentle, the water is very deep, every winter, under the cold effect of the weather, the difficult water will form a thick ice, which can be used by 10,000 people to cross the river, if the distance is calculated, it can even make two 10,000 people a few zhang apart, one after the other at the same time, so that the 50,000 troops under the subordinates can cross the river as soon as possible, plus Wei Yan's internal response, work together to encircle and suppress the enemy army of less than 10,000 people in the Yuan Qi Division, A Meng'er seems to have seen the dawn of victory, in his opinion, no matter how brave the little overlord is, it is impossible to resist the 50,000 army with the strength of one person。
It didn't take long for Wei Yan's figure to enter the Yuanqi camp, and immediately, black smoke rose from the camp, it was only a few wisps at the beginning, and it didn't take long for the entire camp to be ignited by Wei Yan. Bursts of shouts of killing and shouts for fire came from inside the camp.
Ah Meng'er, who was on the other side of the difficult water, listened attentively for a while, carefully distinguishing the various sounds coming from the camp opposite, the noisy sound was divided into two streams, one sound, often mixed with one or two Wei Yan's roars, and the other sound, which seemed even more noisy, was a chaotic call for fire, according to the volume, it was inferred that there were about 5,000 people shouting.
It seems that what Wei Yan said is true, there are indeed only a few thousand people left in the enemy camp, and most of the rest have fled. Thinking of this, Ah Meng'er no longer hesitated, waved his hand behind him, and gave a loud order: "Cross the river! Annihilate the enemy!" Ah Meng'er is not a person who abides by faith, he will never leave his pawn to Wei Yan, let Wei Yan have his own power, that is not in line with his own interests.
The first 10,000-man cavalry sprang into action, flapping their horses and rushing onto the ice, heading for the enemy camp. When the first group of cavalry reached the center of the difficult water, the second group of 10,000 cavalry also began to move, followed behind the first group of cavalry, and stepped on the ice.
When the first team of cavalry roared across the ice and landed on the opposite bank, Ah Meng'er completely let down the guard in his heart, and with this 10,000-strong cavalry team to play the vanguard, he could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold on the opposite bank. Even if there is no Wei Yan's internal response, it is not difficult to defeat Yuan Qi's department. So, Ah Meng'er made an order to march quickly: "Pass on the king's order, send two infantry teams to cross the river at the same time!"
Buyeo is a small country with only 20,000 cavalry. When the 20,000-man cavalry team set out, the remaining 30,000 troops were all infantry. The weight of one person and one horse is about the same as the weight of two people, since the surface of the difficult water ice can withstand 10,000 cavalry, then it is not a problem to carry 20,000 infantry troops.
With Ah Meng'er's order, two 10,000-strong infantry stepped on the ice at the same time and marched towards the opposite bank. When these two groups of infantry walked in a neat pace and were about to reach the center of the difficult water, the second team of cavalry that had set off earlier had already crossed the middle of the difficult water, and there was still a third of the distance before they were about to reach the opposite bank.
A dull clicking sound sounded on the ice. At first, the clatter of breaking was not very obvious, and it was not even as loud as the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ice, but soon, one after another breaking sound sounded, and the clattering sound became louder and louder, and each one was denser than the other, and soon it became one, so that the 30,000 Buyeo soldiers standing on the ice had a frightened look on their faces.
After living at the edge of the water for a long time, what such a clicking sound represents, the Buyeo soldiers certainly know very well - the ice is about to collapse. The 30,000 Buyeo soldiers all stopped their steps in unison, and their eyes were already filled with despair. They didn't know what they were going to do to save their lives, but they knew that if they sank under the ice, they would definitely be dead or dead.
After another loud cracking sound, the ice finally began to collapse, and in the middle of the difficult water, a piece of ice one foot square, burst open, and then quickly sank into the difficult water, where the ice collapsed, everyone could see the endless flow of water under the ice. Difficult water, on this cold winter day, through the thick ice, reveals to Buyeo the turquoise color that should only be seen in summer.
