Destiny Only Han

Chapter 26 The Great River North and South (Please collect and recommend)
Pingyin Ferry.

On both sides of the river, warblers fly in green grass, forests of flowers and trees form, and there are village houses from time to time, but the outer walls of the inner squares are mostly dilapidated, and occasionally people walk around, but there is no sound of chickens and dogs.

On the north bank of the Dahe River, after mobilizing the surrounding ships, Zhao Jun began to build a pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the river.

During this period, people had not yet mastered the technology of erecting permanent wooden arch bridges or stone bridges over the broad rivers.

In the distance, Sima Ang hurried over with his own soldiers.

Although it had been many days, his face still had a bit of joy that could be expected in the future. This kind of emotion from the inside out was also transmitted to the Zhao army under his command.

Qin and Zhao have the same origin, but they are not inseparable.

Not to mention that countless Zhao people were killed in the Battle of Changping, but after Qin destroyed Zhao, they plundered Zhao people's wealth and stored it in the Xianyang palace;

Such bloody and deep enmity must be cut straight in, and the people of Qin must be slaughtered to repay it!
"When will we be able to cross the river?" Sima Yang jumped off his horse and looked at the bridge builders beside him.

After bowing to him, the engineer made some calculations and said, "If all goes well, the bridge can be erected at noon today."

Sima Ang frowned and asked, "What do you mean it went well?"

The engineer looked at the peaceful Nan'an and said:

"Naturally, when connecting to the south bank of the great river, it will not be obstructed by the Qin army. The general also knows that the materials we collected are only enough to build a pontoon bridge. If it is destroyed, there will no longer be enough bridges on the north bank of the great river." the ship."

Sima Ang nodded and cursed harshly: "Damn people from Qin, they rowed their boats to the south bank after tearing down the pontoon bridge. When Pingyin is conquered, the city must be massacred!"

…………

At noon, the pontoon bridge across the river was erected.

Sima Ang was overjoyed. Fortunately, he was careful when attacking Huai County. He didn't kill the engineer's family in advance. Instead, he used it as a threat to let the engineer help build the pontoon bridge.

As for now?
Now that the bridge has been erected, it is natural for Qin Gou's family to die!
If you don't kill them, is it possible that the armies of other princes will also cross the river from here and attack Guanzhong?

What King Huai of Chu said, "The one who enters Guanzhong first is the king" is not only applicable to the state of Chu, it is the common wish of the kings of the six countries.

'A general's face is beyond words! He remembered what Xu Neg said, and his heart became more and more fiery, wishing he could put on his wings and fly to Guanzhong immediately!

After a while, the Zhao army was assembled. After using the Qin prisoners of war sacrifice flag, the morale Zhao army began to prepare to cross the river.

At this moment, a touch of red suddenly appeared on the south bank of the calm river, and then the red covered the sky and covered the earth.

"It's Chu Jun!"

"Where did so many people appear?"

"Stop talking nonsense, form an formation, and ask them what they want to do!"

Zhao Jun stationed on the pontoon bridge on the south bank issued a warning and quickly took precautionary actions, while Zhao Jun on the north bank also began to cross the river quickly under the command of Sima Ang.

Boom boom boom!
There was no way, but the earth-shattering drums sounded, and the Chu army holding the bright red battle flag began to charge.

The one who rushed to the front was a burly man with a messy beard. He hid his body behind the shield and spread his legs, unstoppable.

This person is Fan Kuai.

As a pioneer, he has always been doing the business of going up first to find the enemy.

This battle is of course no exception.

And the soldier following him held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, wearing only a single shirt, and put on a desperate posture.

The will to fall into the battle, there is no life or death!
Most of these people are prisoners released from prison.

Chu State, like Qin State, also has a system of military merit and nobility. Beheading in wartime can also avoid punishment and regain new life and land.

Zhao Jun at the ferry looked at Fan Kui who was running wildly and the first daredevil behind him, his body shook and his teeth chattered.

"Quick, stop!"

"We, we are Zhao Jun, a friendly army!"

Among Zhao Jun, a series of crying voices sounded.

The Chu army on the opposite side was full of murderous intent and there were so many people that they would be killed if they faced off; but if they retreated, not to mention that there would not be too many people on the pontoon bridge, even if they retreated, the military law could also kill them!

In an instant, these Zhao troops, who were used to Leisi, were in a dilemma and caught in a dilemma.

And all of this, accompanied by Fan Kuai's impact like a battering ram, ceased to exist.

boom!
After a loud noise, Fan Kui directly smashed through Zhao Jun's defense line and staggered behind them.

So, he took advantage of the situation and pulled out the long sword from his waist, slashing vigorously.

In an instant, blood splattered.

And the daredevils who rushed over with Fan Kui, faced Zhao Jun who had lost the will to fight, without any mercy, just raised his sword and fell, reaping his life and military exploits.

The Zhao army who started from the north bank only walked less than [-] meters on the bridge, and all the defenders on the south bank were killed, and blood gurgled into the river and went eastward.

On the other side of the river, Sima Yang had excellent eyesight, and he already recognized the guy sitting on the big rock with his legs crossed.

Liu Bang, Marquis of Wu'an!
Sima Ang stood on the bank and cursed: "Liu, you bastard, you are not a son of man!"

Heh, I haven't been a son of man for many years... Liu Bang was unmoved, and ordered Cao Shen to lead people to pour sesame oil on the pontoon.

The sesame oil at this time is neither sesame oil pressed from sesame seeds nor sesame oil made from dark green peppercorns, but ramie, which is the oil squeezed from the fruit of the plant that makes the sackcloth.

It can be used for cooking or as lamp oil, but most of the time, it is used as a fire reserve in the military...

Seeing this, Sima Ang's eyes cracked: "Liu, what the hell do you want to do!"

Liu Bang seemed to have never heard of it, but kept urging Cao Shen: "Hurry up, pour more, don't give me a hard time, lift up the shield, and move forward!"

Cao Shen rolled his eyes at what he saw, and concentrated on directing the soldiers to pour oil.

Sima Ang was very anxious, and shouted in a pleading tone: "Marquis Wu An, we are all brothers, so we can discuss things... Oh, by the way, the general asked me to say hello to you!"

Liu Bang thought for a while, and asked people to put away the Chu army's flag, then covered his face with a sackcloth, and shouted loudly in his iconic Peisi accent:

"Brother on the other side, you have misunderstood the person, we are not the Chu army, but the passing Qianshou..."

Amidst the roar of laughter from everyone around him, Liu Bang waved his hand, and Cao Can and others threw the torches in their hands on the oil.

In an instant, the alluring aroma drifted with the wind.

Not long after, the flames shot up into the sky and spread rapidly along the pontoon bridge. The hemp ropes binding the boards broke, and under the washing of the water, the entire pontoon bridge began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the billowing thick smoke, Sima Yang jumped up and down and cursed, filled with remorse.

On the south bank, Liu Bang frowned as he listened to the scouts.

The Qin army stationed at Hangu Pass, and the unsealed Zhao Ben rushed to Pingyin at the same time!
"Our army is in danger!"
