The last three kingdoms

Chapter 739

The entire marching operation must pay attention to a fast word. Whether it is Heifeng Pass or Chishui Pass, including Baisha Pass that will be fought next, the Shu army must take it as quickly as possible. When the Di people's follow-up reinforcements arrive, these natural barriers will become more rock-solid, and it will be more difficult to break through.

Therefore, it is a goal that must be achieved to win the three passes and five villages before the reinforcements from the Di people arrive. This time the attack on Gushe Mountain is a prerequisite, and once the attack is blocked, it is likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.

So this is why Gao Yuan was very anxious. He personally took arrows to direct the battle on the river bank, urged the Shu army to move forward, and vowed to complete the river crossing at all costs and without fear of sacrifice.

Liu Yin, who was watching the battle on the hillside behind, was also frowning at the moment. According to A Jian's information, the Chishui River is indeed an insurmountable barrier, but no matter how difficult the difficulty is, you must find a way to overcome it. If you can't cross the Chishui River, you can't take it Chishui Pass, the actions of the entire Shu army will be blocked, and it will become empty talk to destroy Qi Wannian.

"Zicheng, bring the reserve team and get ready!" Zicheng is Fu Zhu's name, and Fu Zhu is in command of the Tiger Cavalry Army. Idle state, but Liu Yin can't let the Tiger Cavalry Army idle. He arranged for Fu Zhu to organize a reserve team, which is to select soldiers with good water quality from Zhonglin of the Tiger Cavalry Army, ready to step up and replace Gao Yuan at any time.When Gao Yuan's advance team encountered setbacks, Liu Yin immediately asked Fu Zhuo to lead the team to the top in a timely manner to maintain the offensive momentum of the Shu army.

The attack was frustrated, which greatly affected the morale and morale of the army. In order to maintain high morale, Liu Yin had to push the new force to the top.

Fu Zhu had been unhappy because Liu Yin didn't let him take the lead in attacking. Now that he heard the order, he was naturally shocked, he accepted the order generously, and was ready to attack.

"Zicheng, how are you going to fight this battle?" Liu Yin asked.

Fu Zhu was slightly taken aback, feeling that Liu Yin's question was very strange, how can he fight?Fight like hell. "Brother-in-law, just look at it, if you can't take Chishuiguan, I will raise my head to see you."

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "I can't tell, are you confident enough?"

After fighting with Liu Yin for so many years, Fu Zhu is no longer the youthful young man he was back then. He is calm and experienced after many battles, and at the same time he is full of confidence.

"How can we capsize in the gutter of the Chishui River even though we have been stormed by strong winds and waves? Brother-in-law, don't worry, I've made sure of the Chishui Pass!"

Liu Yin shook his head lightly, and said: "This battle is different from the past. In the past, when we fought Jin people and Hu people, it was fighting against people. This time when we crossed the Chishui River, it was fighting against the sky and the earth. Don't underestimate this Chishui River. The current is fast. This is a river that eats people. Gao Yuan has been attacking for almost an hour, but he has suffered heavy losses but he still cannot cross the river. It seems that if he does not change his strategy, he will not be able to cross the Chishui River. .”

"Change strategy?" Fu Zhu was slightly taken aback. He really hadn't thought about this question. Now that the Di people are guarding the other side, it is really not easy to cross the Chishui River. Chishui Pass is only a matter of time, but Liu Yin's suggestion at the moment makes Fu Zhu confused.

Liu Yin pointed to the left side and said: "Although the Chishui River is fast-moving, the river is not wide, and the narrowest point is only more than a dozen feet. There are several towering trees over there. Isn't it just to make the best use of everything?"

Fu Zhu looked in the direction of Liu Yin's finger, and suddenly his eyes lit up. There were several towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the height was at least a dozen feet. If they were cut down to build a bridge, then Wouldn't crossing the river be like walking on flat ground?
Excitedly, Fu Zhuo led the people straight to the big trees, and after chopping them with knives and axes, he brought down the towering trees and removed those branches, leaving only a few A bare tree trunk.

The reason why it can be called a towering tree is that its diameter and height are astonishing. A tree with a height of more than ten feet must have at least a few hundred people to lift it.Shouting chant, the Shu soldiers raised heavy tree trunks and marched towards the Chishui River.

Fu Zhuo's eyes were full of brilliance. If a few thick tree trunks can be stretched across the Chishui River, then a "bridge" can be built. The raging Chishui River will lose its value in an instant.

The Di people also saw the actions of the Shu army. Hundreds of people came forward carrying a tree trunk. It was difficult not to attract attention. Gu Tianhao couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Ren's efforts were all in vain, and he ordered the Di people to shoot wildly, trying to stop the actions of the Shu army.

But all this was in vain. Far from the shore, beyond the range of bows and arrows, many arrows shot past and fell powerlessly halfway. Obviously, they were too far away. Even if the Shu army approached the river, It is also possible to use shield soldiers to protect against arrows, but the Di people watched the actions of the Shu army helplessly, but they were powerless to stop them.

The south bank of the Chishui River is a relatively steep slope. When the Shu army lifted the tree trunk here, they pulled people with ropes to support it, and they were able to erect the tree trunk, and then fell down on the opposite bank with a loud crash.

The place chosen by the Shu army was the narrowest part of the Chishui River. The tall tree trunks pressed against the opposite bank with a force of destruction. They were impartial and just right on the Chishui River, forming a unique "wooden bridge". .

Next, the Shu army did the same, and carried a big tree trunk over, and placed them side by side on the Chishui River. Suddenly, the natural moat became a thoroughfare.

Fu Zhu and his army crossed the Chishui River easily. At this time, the Shu army's legs and toes did not even touch the water. Compared with just now, they were still struggling in the river and swimming with arms. Because of Liu Yin's brainstorm, the situation changed suddenly and dramatically.

The next attack on Chishuiguan became much easier. Gu Tianhao's troops were not many, only about 2000. They fought against the Shu army for more than an hour, and many people were injured. At this moment, the Shu army Attacking with all their strength, the not too strong wall of Baichishui Pass did not pose any threat to the Shu army, but in less than half an hour, Fu Zhu led his army to break through Chishui Pass.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Gu Tianhao didn't dare to fight, and led the remnants of the army to flee all the way, retreating towards Baisha Pass.

Of course, Fu Zhu would not be satisfied with taking down Chishui Pass. After entering the pass city, he did not stop at all times. He immediately mobilized his troops and chased towards Baisha Pass.
