Horse on the World

Chapter 828

On the fifth day of March, Zu Wupo's tribe after the southern army was cut off was defeated after being encircled by Xu Ji, Jin Chao and Lu Dabing. Almost the entire five thousand southern army was wiped out. Wupo then swung his troops to turn to Xu Siyu's troops, and attacked Xu Siyu with Xiong Jiwang's troops, but Xu Siyu saw the opportunity very early, retreated from Xianglu Mountain, and rushed to Wangjiang, trying to join Lanyu's troops. Tian Feng immediately ordered them to turn to Wudu River and join Lu Dalin After defeating Ai Yong's army, they marched straight forward and pursued all of Hu Ze's troops. When they reached Wangjiang, Xu Siyu and Lan Yu's troops were joined by Tian Feng, Xiong Jiwang, and Chang Liqing's two troops to attack them together.

The Battle of Wudu River has been fought for two days. Ai Yongjun is not well-known on the mainland, but he has been with Hu Zequan for decades, and he has won Hu Zequan's command and battle. In two days, he actually fought with Lu Dalin Stalemate.

Lu Dalin was also a little helpless, the weather was getting warmer, and the Wudu River was constantly thawing. The attacking Dingzhou soldiers not only had to fight against the enemy on the opposite bank, but also had to beware of the huge icicles rushing down from the upper reaches. Destroyed on these icicles.

On the left bank of the Wudu River, when night fell, Lu Dalin pulled up nearly fifty trebuchets and hundreds of eight-ox crossbows in one breath, and lined them up densely along the river bank. It took him a long time to transport these things from the mouth of the river. After a lot of effort, Lu Dalin is not afraid of confrontation and consumption. The consumption of the Dingzhou Army can be replenished soon, and now the Dingzhou Army's catapults, eight-ox crossbows and other weapons have achieved standardized production of parts, as long as they are not completely destroyed. , Damaged weapons can quickly be put back into battle.

What made Lu Dalin even more happy was that Liu Jiang, who was staying at Lianghekou, successfully persuaded He Ping's troops to surrender to Dingzhou. The two armies merged with a total of more than [-] people. Ma Da reached more than [-] people.

Looking at the trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows lined up on the river bank, He Ping gasped.

"Tomorrow, if we can't cross the river again, I will fall headlong into the Wudu River." Dong Dasheng patted the cold support of the trebuchet vigorously. "General Lu, we will take the lead tomorrow."

Lu Dalin smiled and said: "Even if you can't get through, you don't have to throw yourself into the river. Xu Ji, the soldiers should be able to come over tomorrow. There are two flanking attacks. At the other end, there is no fog to cross the river. Ai Yongjun will not be able to cross the river." tomorrow."

Dong Dasheng slapped his hands, "That's right, General Lu, it's because they are coming that we have to step up and fight over them. We can't let others slaughter our fattened pigs! That would be too bad."

Hearing what Dong Dasheng said, Liu Jiang coughed twice. Dong Dasheng belonged to the Lu Dalin Group, while Liu Jiang belonged to the Tian Feng Group. Although the two armies are now fighting together, every general in command has his own secrets.This credit, of course, is that the more the family grabs, the better.

"General Dong, don't forget that General Lu Dabing will come to cross the river tomorrow!" Liu Jiang smiled maliciously. Lu Dabing belongs to Tianfeng Group, but he is Lu Dalin's younger brother.

Dong Dasheng glanced at Lu Dalin in embarrassment, but he forgot about it just now.

He Ping, who had just surrendered, strode up to Lu Dalin, bowed deeply and said, "General Lu, He Ping invites you to fight!"

He Ping has self-knowledge, he has just surrendered, and if he wants to gain the trust of the other party, he will naturally have to submit a certificate, so of course he will volunteer for the battle tomorrow. Looking at the densely packed trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows on the shore, He Ping only felt that his courage was a little bit thicker. Under these intensive blows, the opponent might not have any energy left to fight back, but he only needed to urge the soldiers to build a bridge, rush over, and then fight hand-to-hand, and as long as they rushed over On the other side, Dingzhou's cavalry will inevitably rush up, and their own troops will not be in much danger, and the loss will not be too great.

Lu Dalin laughed and said, "General He's courage to cross the river is admirable, but, General He, you just came here, and you don't know much about the Dingzhou Army's coordinated combat with horses and infantry, so, tomorrow, you still watch the battle, Take a closer look at the Dingzhou Army's horse-step coordination and the essence of step-by-step cooperation. There are still battles to be fought. Ai Yongjun's here is only more than 8 Southern Army. In front of us, there are [-] to [-] horses from Hu Zequan, etc. Let us go eat, General He, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds?"

He Ping was moved by what he said. Originally, he was ready to rush to the front and open the way for the Dingzhou army to advance. Unexpectedly, Lu Dalin didn't mean to use him as cannon fodder, but asked him to observe the Dingzhou army carefully. This is the essence of the battle, this is trusting him very much, for a while, He Ping had a feeling that a soldier would die for his confidant.

The sky was getting bright, and Ai Yongjun sat on the watchtower, staring at the forest-like catapults and eight-ox crossbows on the other side, with a bleak face. In the evening, the sentry sent back the desperate news. Ji Chao Lv Dalin's troops captured Yanglin, and Zu Wupo's 5000-strong army was wiped out. The fall of Yanglin also meant that he had completely cut off his retreat, and he had nowhere to go, even retreating was impossible.

The bonfire in the camp was burning fiercely in the wind, but the camp of tens of thousands of people was very quiet. A sense of despair spread in the camp, and occasionally a suppressed cry could be heard coming from somewhere.

We can't go home!Ai Yongjun sighed, in the past, this kind of behavior would inevitably be pulled out and beheaded to show the public on the grounds of slackening the morale of the army, but today, Ai Yongjun has no such thoughts at all. Tomorrow is the limit for everyone here. There is no need to do this.

"General Ai!" A general dressed in a general's uniform stepped up to the watchtower.

"Lei Hong, are you afraid?" Ai Yongjun pointed to the opposite bank.Lei Hong is a young general, a young general promoted by Ai Yongjun.

"To be honest, General, I'm afraid." Lei Hong said honestly.

Ai Yongjun laughed, "I'm afraid too."

Lei Hongqi asked, "Are you afraid too?"

"Of course, tomorrow is our death day. Ants still know how to cherish their lives, so I am safe and not afraid." Ai Yongjun sighed, "It's just that a man will do something and not do something, even if he is afraid, he will bite the bullet and do it. It's a pity for you, you had a bright future, but followed me to a dead end."

Lei Hong looked at the ray of dawn in the sky, and said: "The general once heard that death is more important than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Although we are dead, we have saved a chance for General Hu and the [-] soldiers from the south. It's an honor to die."

Ai Yongjun showed a wry smile, that's right, more than ten thousand elite Chengren fought for the main force only a glimmer of life, the road to Guanshan is long, and there are many obstacles along the way, and in the end, there is no way to survive. How many children can return home alive.

"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains." Ai Yongjun stretched out his arms and hugged Lei Hong into his arms.

"Why return the shroud of horse leather!" Lei Hong hugged Ai Yongjun tightly with both arms.

A round of red sun suddenly jumped from the top of the distant mountain, and Wan Daoxia Rui poured down, reflecting the two people on the observation deck with golden light.

The sound of war drums on the opposite bank resounded in the sky. With the sound of war drums, countless soldiers rushed out of the barracks like a torrent, rushing to the river bank. With a screaming sound, the stone bullet crossed the Wudu River and flew towards the Nanjun camp.

There was a rumbling sound, the camp tent collapsed, the fence was broken, and blood rain splashed. The trebuchets in the camp began to fight back, but compared to the intensive attacks on the other side, they seemed so lonely and powerless.

The thick crossbow bolts of the eight-ox crossbow roared across the river and were deeply pierced on the embankment. A hemp rope was tied behind each crossbow arrow. Dingzhou soldiers crossed the embankment and rushed into Wudu River without hesitation. In the water, holding on to these hemp ropes, regardless of the freezing cold of the river, he began to swim to the other side of the river.For a moment, in the Wudu River, hundreds of people marched towards the opposite bank.

The icicles from upstream no longer had the life-threatening chunks of icicles. After discovering this, Lu Dalin immediately ordered armed swimming.

The heavy soldiers rushed down the river with sharpened logs one after another. Several soldiers took turns holding a sledgehammer and hammered desperately. A log was nailed down the river, and soldiers followed immediately. On it, a piece of iron nails fixed the plank on it.The wooden bridge extended to the opposite bank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"General Ai, the last general is going first!" Lei Hong stood up, gave a military salute to Ai Yongjun, turned around and strode down the watchtower.A moment later, a southern army of about 2000 soldiers roared out of the camp and ran towards the embankment. The front row of legs had already submerged in the water, while Lei Hong, standing with his sword on his shoulders, was on the embankment.

"Kill!" Lei Hong drew his knife and shouted. Behind him, feather arrows shot towards the Wudu River like a rain of arrows. There were bursts of blood in the river immediately. Some soldiers drew their knives and cut the hemp rope. The swimming soldiers immediately floated downstream.

The eight oxen crossbows on the opposite bank shot at the river embankment, and each time it fell, several soldiers would be shot flying upside down, and the embankment was covered with corpses in a short while.

The feet of the first row of Dingzhou soldiers finally set foot on the ground, with spears in both hands. These soldiers shouted the slogan of the Dingzhou Army Wansheng, and stepped forward step by step to the Southern Army in front. In the waist-deep water, The two armies fought hand to hand.

There were bursts of red waves on the clear Wudu River. Soldiers fell one by one and went with the waves, but then the wooden bridge of the Dingzhou Army downstream was blocked, and after a short time, the corpses were already piled up there.

The horse under Hu Che'er's crotch neighed non-stop, spinning around in place, puffs of white air came out from his nose, and Hu Che'er's bull's eyes were fixed on the ever-extending wooden bridge. Seeing that the bridge was only three or four meters away from the opposite bank, the impetuous Hu Che'er couldn't bear it any longer, and whipped his whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped away, heading straight for the wooden bridge.The Dingzhou heavy soldiers who were nailing the boards on the wooden bridge turned over and jumped into the water one by one, hugging the wooden pillars and yelling.

Hu Che'er didn't care, he drove the horse and galloped wildly. When it reached the end, he lifted the rein violently, and the horse flew into the air with all four hooves, flew over the river several meters long, and landed on the bank.

"Nan Manzi, your Grandpa Hu is here again!" Hu Che'er yelled strangely, shot up and killed him. Behind him, countless Dingzhou cavalrymen rushed across the wooden bridge one after another, and they were not far away from the bridge. Far away, the other three wooden bridges have also been extended to the opposite bank.
