Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 922
Chen Guang's downfall was doomed from the very beginning.

This is a group of local villains, not angry at the aggressiveness of the Huainan Governor's Mansion, but get together to keep warm.In fact, if Shen Zhezi was willing to relax the decree of the governor's government and grant some privileges to these village clans, these people would definitely disperse.

Or if the cost of casualties was completely disregarded before, and a large number of troops were gathered to attack, Chen Guang and these chaotic troops would not be opponents of the Huainan Army at all.

And the reason why they can survive for a while lies in the special terrain of Yongqiu.But for more than two months, there has been almost no rain in the north, and even the water level of the Yellow River has dropped a little because of this, not to mention the lakes around Yongqiu.

The rebellious army also knew how they were able to survive. Seeing that the surrounding water level was getting shallower and shallower, and the Huainan army had no compromising posture at all, they kept a strong cavalry unit and blocked the area of ​​Yongqiu.It is impossible to break through the siege, and it is getting more and more unfavorable to hold on to it. It is inevitable that internal strife will eventually break out.

Therefore, after more than two months of siege, except for the lack of preparation at the beginning and the many injuries, the Huainan Army finally trapped Chen Guang to death with almost no soldiers.

After Chen Guang was dealt with, Han Huang's thousands of cavalry were immediately liberated. He knew that the battle in the north was the most important, so he didn't even have time to stay to clean up the mess in Yongqiu. They kidnapped more than 2000 of the most elite peasants remaining in the land of Yongqiu, and then went straight to the north.

To the north of Yongqiu is Yimapingchuan. The only obstacle is Fengqiu on the bank of Jishui River.However, Fengqiu had long been occupied by the Suanzao Huainan army. After Han Huang crossed the river, he received the latest military order and went straight to the slippery platform in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

At this moment, there is another troop of cavalry galloping across the plain on the south bank of the Yellow River. If you look from a very high place, you can see that these two troops of cavalry are facing each other head-on, and they will definitely confront each other at some point along the way. Hit!

"Hurry up, kill the laggards!"

Han Yong was in the team, his crotch was dripping with sweat, and his mouth kept roaring anxiously.

This time when they broke through from the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Yedi's army mobilized nearly ten thousand people, and the resources they carried were nearly half of the entire Yedi army reserves.In order to seize this opportunity, Shi Kan placed a heavy bet, and Han Yong, as Shi Kan's confidant, also knew that this trip was a matter of life and death, so he dared not delay for a moment.

In such an important battle for life and death, both sides are not weak, so it can be said that one step behind is one step behind.They had already lost the opportunity before, and when they arrived in Fufen, they even found a small number of southern Xuzhou troops here.

So after taking down the Fufen, Han Yong didn't even have time to rest and leave half of his troops to another general, Zhi En, to lead the defense of the Fufen.

The sliding platform has been operated by the Huainan army for many days, and Han Yong does not expect to be able to regain it in one battle. The purpose of this battle is to disrupt the fighting rhythm of the Huainan army and relieve the pressure on the king of Wei who is in Liyang right in front of the sliding platform.

Moreover, as the stronghold for the Huainan army to assemble and attack, the sliding platform will inevitably attract reinforcements from other Huainan armies in the event of an attack, and then they can surround the point for reinforcements.

As for Chen Guang's rebellious army to rescue Chen Liu, Han Yong didn't expect too much. In this battle, they were already too far behind.

His [-] cavalry could almost be said to be the vitality of Yedi. They wanted to disrupt the Huainan Army's offensive rhythm in Huatai, and also deal a serious blow to the follow-up reinforcements.If every goal cannot be completed, the final results will be greatly reduced.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Han Yong's tone became a little hoarse, completely disrespectful of horsepower.As he went east and south, the morale of Li Yang's army has become precarious and may collapse at any time, so it is necessary to create an effect as soon as possible to bring hope to Li Yang's army.

Fortunately, the soldiers selected this time are all the elite of Yedi and have superb riding skills. Even in such a high-speed march, few of them fall behind.The only thing I was worried about was the horsepower. Although Li Yang had enough horses, he didn't have enough transport capacity to carry them across the river.

The current situation is critical, and there is no time to wait for the horses to cross the river in batches, so there are only less than a thousand horses in the team for rotation besides everyone's horses.

And it takes nearly two days and nights to go from the stone to the sliding platform, even if it is a day and night.This is also a helpless choice. If the crossing point is too close, it is very likely that it will be attacked by the Huainan navy and fall short.Moreover, the south bank of the Yellow River, which is closer to the sliding platform, has no too dangerous ferry, which can prevent the Xuzhou army and the Huainan army from joining forces.

But fortunately, the Huainan Army has very few cavalry in this northward march, especially the defenders near the slippery platform are mostly sailors and infantry.Even if they were exhausted after arriving at the skating platform, the Huainan army would not dare to take the initiative to fight in the field unless they were crazy.So after arriving at the sliding platform, they still have a little time to rest and recuperate, and they can even grab some of the Huainan Army's supplies first to supplement them.

On the first day of the journey, the soldiers were in good condition, and they didn't stop to take a rest until late at night.After more than an hour, Han Yong ordered the soldiers to continue on their horses and on their way.At this moment, some soldiers complained, for such people, Han Yong directly beheaded to show the public, and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers was quickly suppressed.

Although traveling at night, you only need to walk along the river, and you don't have to worry about getting lost.Going westward like this, by the afternoon of the next day, some watchpost camps set up by the Huainan Army could be found along the river, but there were only a small number of soldiers.

When those Huainan soldiers suddenly found such a large cavalry team in sight, they were terrified for a moment, unable to resist at all, they jumped into the river and boarded the boat to escape for their lives.

Seeing those sentinels of the Huainan army looking so embarrassed, the Yedi cavalrymen who were rushing along all the way finally felt exasperated and raised their eyebrows. Regardless of the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, even if they only scared away tens of hundreds of Huainan soldiers , has been able to bring them great satisfaction.

Han Yongjiu is in charge of military affairs, so he naturally understands how to maintain morale, so whenever he encounters these small camps of the Huainan Army, he doesn't think it's too complicated to send a group of soldiers to rush in, and he can often capture some military equipment that the Huainan Army has no time to collect. use.And these harvests are not forced to be handed over, but let the soldiers divide them up.

Seeing that the soldiers rushing forward confiscated well-made armor, bows and knives, and even large bags of rice from the Huainan Army, although the number is really limited and not many can be captured, they can really give people encouraged.

Under such encouragement, even though the team had spent more than a day and night running, their morale gradually increased, and even the marching speed increased, which was not much worse than yesterday.

Such a change naturally pleased Han Yong, so he went forward to search for places where the Huainan army appeared along the way.These things are not enough to affect the speed of marching, after all, the strength gap between the two sides is too great.

Although Han Yong didn't bother to participate in the attack on such a small target, but as the chief general, he was also given the armor of the Huainan Army.On the way, he also took the time to check the quality of the armor, and couldn't help but click his tongue secretly. The quality of this pair of armor was even only a little worse than the one on him.

But Han Yong is a confidant general under Shi Kan's command, so all the supplies of equipment are naturally the best.As for the Huainan army who were frightened away, there were as many as a hundred or as few as ten or twenty. Naturally, it was impossible for them to have any senior generals.In other words, the Huainan Army's basic commander's ration of weapons almost caught up with that of a Hebei general like Han Yong!

This discovery cast a haze over Han Yong's heart.If it is inferred from this, even if his cavalry is equipped with all the Liyang army reserves, it is not at the same level as the Huainan army in terms of equipment.

But now that they are about to reach the sliding platform, it is useless to think too much. Later, they can only rely on the high mobility of the cavalry to lay down a heavy battalion of the Huainan Army as much as possible to obtain some supplementary equipment.

After nightfall, Han Yong stopped urging the soldiers to go on a high-intensity journey, rested for two hours by the river, and moved forward slowly when continuing on the road.Although this level of rest is not enough for the exhaustion of running around without sleep for two days and nights, at least it can guarantee that the soldiers can regain their strength for a battle.

After dawn, Han Yong ordered to speed up again.At this time, there were more and more camps of the Huainan army by the river, and even some camps did not flee in panic even if they found their large cavalry team, but guarded the camps, indicating that the sliding platform was approaching.

At this moment, Han Yong didn't want to waste or disperse his troops because of these small targets. While shouting loudly to boost morale, he ordered the soldiers to speed up and rush to the sliding platform.

Although the location of the sliding platform on the Yellow River is important, when the Jie Kingdom occupied it earlier, it did not manage it carefully. After all, Henan at that time had no opponents worthy of their vigilance.

Therefore, the sliding platform occupied by the Huainan army is only a small city, and even if it is expanded, the scale is limited.When a large number of Huainan troops gathered at this time, a small city was not enough to garrison so many soldiers, so many camps were erected around Huatai City, with battalions for more than ten miles.

Such an eye-catching target was quickly detected and returned by the frontline scouts.When this news was announced to the whole army, there was a burst of cheers from the whole team. After running around for two or three days without sleep, the goal of this march was finally approaching!

At this moment, Han Yong's face also flushed with excitement, and he waved his arms and shouted: "After this battle, the danger of Yedi can be solved, and all the soldiers have made great contributions! The southern thieves are vulnerable, and Henan is rich in soil , all our soldiers can seize it!"

After hearing this, the cavalrymen in Yedi calmed down again, especially those soldiers who had shared some spoils before and felt the Huainan army's excellent materials, all of them were even more excited, howling and rushing towards the target. go.

However, at this moment, a large cloud of smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the road ahead, like an earth dragon soaring into the sky, rolling and rushing towards their position!
　Hurry up and hurry up, and rush out in the early morning. . .
