Chapter 169 Pontoon Bridge
"When the camp in the north of the city saw the fire, he must have known that the Xizhang had been attacked, but the former's troops were not enough to launch a rescue, and he would definitely move closer to Bailiji. Shi Zhan, at that time, you will lead an ambush on the east bank of the Baihe River, and be sure to stop the enemy from crossing the river. As long as you drag it to my main force and Xiangfan arrive, you will make a great contribution."
Just as Qingyan was giving orders, the voice of a messenger came from outside the tent.
"Report to the prince that the remaining two cavalrymen have returned to the camp, and the whole of them said there is important information."
Qing Yan was delighted and said quickly: "Ye Tian, go and have a look."
When Ye Tian returned to the commander's tent, his green face looked ecstatic, "Prince! He has found the enemy's food supply route!"
"Take it seriously? Can brothers ensure that it is correct?"
"Confirm! The one who found the grain channel was the headquarters of Beizhi. They lurked in Shiren Mountain for three days and three nights, and finally saw the grain transport team returning. It was absolutely impossible to make a mistake." Ye Tian nodded vigorously.
"Okay! The plan needs to be slightly changed." Qing Yan said the perfect plan in his heart: "Uncle Bai, you should lead 3,000 people to guard the camp. During this period, you must do your best not to let the enemy army find the emptiness of the camp. I believe Uncle Bai is free to care about it."
"Ye Tian, at midnight, you will lead two thousand cavalry to head west. When you find a suitable place to cross the Tuan River and go straight to Shiren Mountain. No matter how many grain transport teams you encounter, you must kill them. But remember to let them go and report to Bailiji."
"Shi Zhan, your mission is the same as before. I will give you three thousand people. You must hold the enemy troops in the north of the city to cross the river. As long as you persist for an hour after receiving the enemy, I promise to lead the army to arrive."
"At midnight tonight, I will lead 7,000 people to cross Baihe to the east to attack the west camp of the city. After joining forces with Shi Zhan, I will not stop. I will go north to block the only way to retreat to Wuguan. At that time, I will order Lou Jin to lead the army to switch to the Nan'an camp. At that time, Uncle Bai, you will lead the remaining brothers to Ye Tian's route to Shiren Mountain. Let's kill Bailiji in the territory of Nanzhao together."
After saying this in one breath, Qingyan's mouth was dry and he picked up the teapot beside him and drank it. "You three will see if there are any loopholes in this plan, let's improve it."
The three of them repeatedly deduced the entire plan in their hearts, and they all felt that the most dangerous thing was to guard the South Bank. They tried their best to cover up their eyes and ears. After being discovered, they had to resist the enemy's crazy counterattack, but apart from this, the rest was perfect.
Seeing that these few people didn't speak, Qing Yan smiled and said, "It seems that you think this plan is good. Since this is the case, we should prepare now. Whether we can capture Baili Ji alive and build a poor achievement depends entirely on you."
----------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Xiliang Camp on the north bank.
After Bailiji visited the wounded soldiers, he walked into the commander's tent, and Hu Bugui was guarding him.
"What are the new trends in Fan Ning?"
"Report to Your Majesty, in addition to raising energy on the first day, he has been attacking the North Gate in the next few days, but because he is stubborn in the city, it will take some time to break the city."
"The time is almost done. Tomorrow you will let Tiefutu come to the camp."
Hu Bugui was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Highness, will you take action tomorrow or the next day?"
"I will attack again tomorrow, confusing Zhao Qingyan to focus all his attention on the turbulent river. Then you will lead Tiefutu across the river from the west and circumvent the south bank at the same time as me."
"Don't worry, your highness, although you only led 10,000 Tiefutu this time, it was enough to break through the enemy camp." Hu Bugui suddenly felt that his tone was inappropriate and quickly said: "This is not that the general was so proud, but that he admired Your Highness's plan. Zhao Qingyan would not have thought that there would be Tiefututu troops in Xiliang, nor that we would have unexpectedly attacked the north and south."
Baili Ji sighed: "This is not such a clever plan. In order to confuse Zhao Qingyan, we have lost more than 10,000 people in these days, and the price is really not small."
"But everything is worth it. If the lives of ten thousand soldiers can be exchanged for the ashes of the royal palace side by side, it will definitely be a sure profit and no loss." Hu Bugui said with a grim smile.
"What I admire most is your ruthlessness. You can do whatever you want to achieve your goal. This is a necessary condition for becoming a famous general."
"Thank you for your cultivation in a humble manner. This time, Zhao Qingyan will be captured and presented to Your Highness."
--------------------(I'm a dividing line)
At midnight, although the camp on the south bank had torches high, a large number of soldiers came out from behind the camp.
The first four hundred soldiers who left the village ran south with wooden boards in their hands. They rushed to the south until two miles away, and then rushed down Baihe in two rows, and then raised the wooden boards in their hands above their heads.
This is the narrowest and most submersible place in this section. When Qingyan was young, he often came here to travel wildly with Lao Zhangtou, and the deepest part was only at the neck of the soldiers.
Looking at the firm eyes in the river, Qingyan ordered to cross the river without hesitation. The infantry walked on the temporary floating bridge, and a small number of cavalry crossed the east bank.
It’s not that infantry cannot cross like cavalry, but it is already winter, and the river water is icy and biting. If all the soldiers flow through the cold river water, there will be no combat power left.
A soldier's weight and armor must be at least 167 kilograms. The weight of the eight thousand infantrymen is self-evident. These weights need to be shared by the 400 warriors in the river.
The soldiers crossing the river wanted to try to make their speed faster and lighter as much as possible, but they did not have much effect. Qingyan rode on Mo Xue and was in the river, and clearly saw the brothers underwater gritting their teeth and insisting. Many of them turned red because of the huge pressure, but they still gritted their teeth and raised the wooden board on their heads.
Holding the pressure on himself and not letting himself stay, Qingyan tried to take a deep breath and headed towards the east coast.
When all ten thousand soldiers stepped onto the east bank, more than half an hour had passed. The soldiers on the shore looked back and looked into the river. They saw a lot of wooden boards floating on the river. Everyone knew what this meant, but they still tried to endure the steps just like Qingyan before.
"treasure!"
"Take care!"
After saying goodbye, the two of them led their soldiers to their destination. Qing Yan led the remaining two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to the southeast, and Shi Zhan led three thousand infantry to the northeast to find a place to ambush.
Lou Jin stood at the Ximen and looked at the enemy camp not far away, feeling a little nervous, "When is it now?"
"Report to the general, now three minutes."
"Let the brothers prepare at all times. When the city gate is opened, you must use your energy to kill the enemy camp."
Although Lou Jin asked about the time, he still couldn't help but look at the sky, praying in his heart that the king of shoulder to shoulder should not be discovered by the enemy on the road, otherwise it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven if he thought of it unexpectedly.
Time passed by bit by bit. On this cold night, Lou Jing's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his hands couldn't help but grab the female wall.
At this moment, Lou Jin found that the south of the enemy camp was vaguely blowing dust. If it weren't for his excellent eyesight and his concentration, it would be difficult to find this abnormality.
But Lou Jin knew what this meant, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Let your brothers prepare, the marquis of the gate will open a gap."
Just as he issued orders, sparks suddenly lit up in the rolling dust smoke, and rushed into the enemy camp like a fire dragon, which was overturning the rivers and seas. Behind the enemy camp also shouted and killed sounds came from the west. Lou Jin looked on tiptoe and knew that the time was ripe.
"Open the city gate! Follow the prince side by side to kill the enemy!"
Forty thousand Xiangfan troops came out of the city gate and raised their torches to kill them towards the east gate of the enemy camp.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the two thousand cavalry led by Qingyan rushed left and right in the enemy camp and set fire at will, basically entering the Dazhai at the same time in both east and west directions, and shouting and killing the sky during the period.
The enemy general was already in a state of lordship. He only thought that it was Fan Ning's guardian god who surrounded him without knowing it, but he did not expect that the king of the side by side led people across the river to kill him. It was not that he could not have thought that this move was a big dangerous chess game, and if he was not careful, he would be wiped out.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind. Seeing the flames in the camp rushing to the sky and running in a panic, he knew that the situation was going to go. He quickly ordered to move closer to the camp in the north of the city, hoping to find a glimmer of life.
But how did the head general of the Xiying camp know that the head general of the north camp of the city had already seen the attack on the Xiying camp. He wanted to send troops to rescue him, but after first calculating the number of enemy troops, he was shocked and thought that there were only less than 60,000 troops in Fanning City, and it would take at least 20,000 to guard the second gates in the northwest. Lou Jin would never send more than 50,000 troops to attack the Xiying camp, so the truth is self-evident.
Although he knew that he would be targeted by the public in the army if he didn't save him, the 30,000 troops in his hands were definitely not the opponent of the King and Xiangfan Legion. He then gritted his teeth and ordered the camp to withdraw.
Half an hour later, Qing Yan had already met with Lou Jin, "General Lou, leave 10,000 troops here to harvest the enemy. The rest of the people followed me to kill the retreating enemy troops. Be sure to intercept them east of Baihe."
----------------------(I'm a dividing line)
The head general of the North Camp could already see the water surface of Baihe from afar, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he felt guilty about not saving his life, he was more happy. Wang Bing walked side by side and led people to cross the Baihe camp to attack the camp. Then the south bank must have a empty defense. If you report this to your highness and his team to pull this nail, you will not only preserve the strength in your hands, but also have no merits and no faults.
Just as I thought of the wonderful things, I suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air.
"kill!"
He only felt that there were shouts of killing from all directions. Although the leader of the North Camp quickly blocked the feather arrow, he was already cold on his horse and scolded him for being really confused. Since the king of side by side dared to lead his troops across the river, how could he not leave any help?
Shi Zhan had already led the soldiers of the Tiger Guard to rush over. He did not form a formation to defend the enemy by the river, but chose to entangle with the enemy. This not only made the enemy even more panic, but also made the enemy unable to tell how many people were in the dark night. Therefore, the three thousand Tiger Guard warriors did not hold a torch, just like stabbing a black and sharp dagger into the enemy's chest.
"Break through! Break through!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The leader of the North Camp shouted loudly, but it did not have a good effect in this chaotic battle. At this time, both sides had already had me and I and I had you. And because of the chaos, more people died of trampling and accidental injuries in Xiliang soldiers than those killed by the Tiger Guard.
Seeing that this plan worked very well, Shi Zhan was secretly happy and danced the spear in his hand even more fiercely. When he heard the roar, Shi Zhan Xunsheng looked at him and his eyes trembled and led his personal soldiers to kill the leader of the North Camp.
The chaotic battle situation left the North Camp leader unable to make a comeback, and then made the second major decision tonight.
escape!
