Chapter 1154 Although Guo Ling was worried in the past (2)

Although he noticed some clues under Linhuang City dozens of miles away, he still did not expect that the great crisis would come to Wei Wang Le Yanzhen was troubled and troubled by another thing. Because the weather has warmed up in the past two days, the result is that the ice that was originally silted on the river melted and passed, and it seems that it was much faster than expected.

The broken ice surface of the millstone was as big as a meter wide as a millstone, and was as small as a millstone, gradually reduced to the size of the basin plate. If it continued to melt, the pontoon bridge on the river that had been burned to the support site would no longer become an insurmountable natural barrier. What's worse was that he sent people to Daming Mansion to mobilize the siege equipment, but he had not returned it for a long time;

Although he had driven the attack for days without regard to the cost, although he had broken many of the city walls in Linhuang, he also caused considerable casualties and injuries to the defending Tianping Army, the casualties of the siege were obviously much greater. As a result, he accumulated considerable dissatisfaction and resentment in the army. Therefore, as a ease-up measure, he could only send out the troops and horses that had taken turns to fight out in batches (discharge).

Then, after hearing that Le Congxun had taken the initiative against his instructions, he sent Liudu, a flying cavalry as a mobile and surprise soldier (reserve team), to the north to support and echo the front line with the Heyang Army in the east. In addition, the previous casualties and losses, the number of Wei troops that continued to siege Linhuang City in a short time had been reduced to more than 20,000.

However, the balance army in the city seemed to be at the end of its strength, and it seemed that with just one more effort, it could completely dismantle its final resistance. Therefore, at this critical moment, he became more cautious and did not dare to give up easily. Otherwise, in the end, the incompetent resentment and accumulated contradictions would directly retaliate on him, the head coach.

Since this is the case, it is better to persevere and directly drive away the potential threats with resentment and consume them; at least the dead will not complain to themselves or counterattack, and they can also reassign their positions and land. Even if they are injured, they can calm down for a while. In this way, they can cure this generation well.

In any case, he had to correspond to the crisis in front of him before he could have other futures; otherwise, how could a King of Wei, who was defeated repeatedly and lost his land, continue to command and drive those arrogant soldiers and generals who have become more and more greedy? Le Yanzhen felt that the more he thought about it, he became more annoyed, and once again said to his subordinates who were following him:

"Have the teams sent to the village to raise materials (demolites) back? Send people to urge them again, don't be too slow (indulging in plundering), otherwise I will be engaged in military law."

"promise!"

He quickly responded:

"Tell the Huyi Army and Guixiang Tuanjie Camp, who are in charge of the first attack, that as soon as the Neihuang City is broken, they will be allowed to wash the street for three days."

Then Le Yanzhen explained:

However, this time, before he could respond again, he saw several riders riding horses in the distance, and shouting slogans and falling down. Le Yanzhen said breathing heavily:

"King, the thieves on the other side have begun to cross the river..."

Soon after, Le Yanzhen personally led his troops to a whistle built by a mound several miles away from Linhuang City. You can vaguely see the flags on the other side of the river waving, and many facilities and large equipment with unknown uses have stood up. As people and horses vaguely roared and ran around, they showed a lively situation.

On the beach nearer the river, a base site similar to a dock and a ferry has been built; then several strange-looking things like vehicles and ships suddenly blew up and down. Under the erosion and impact of large and small ice cubes flowing down, even without the help of paddles and sails, they were still slowly and resolutely heading towards the north shore.

This scene made Le Yanzhen a little surprised and a little surprised, and then he shouted without hesitation:

"What are you doing while standing there? Blow the trumpet and call the follow-up personnel to gather, build formation defenses along the coast, and wait for the effort to attack them halfway. Never let a bandit land!"

However, when the civilians and men who were constantly mobilized by Le Yanzhen's personal supervision and wisdom first saw the scale of the camps and walls built along the river bank; the strange ships slowly drove in finally passed through most of the river surface full of the ice flood, and were only a few dozen steps away from the shore, and then suddenly slowed down slowly.

Then, with the roars on the ship, the cannons fired on the ship bombarded the river bank, splashing bunches of sand and dust. Although there was no specific casualties at this moment, the shocked people who were working hard to dig soil and laying pickets on the river bank and scattered horses, and the people who were scattering in a panic.

At this time, the Wei army on the shore also rushed forward as if they were waking up from a dream, and bending their bows toward the slowly approaching vehicles and ships, shooting wave after wave of arrows. Of course, most of them were scattered in the river, and only a few fell on the reinforced ship gangs and decks;

A stream of blue smoke and ignition lights emerged from the ship, but a row of guns was set up between the vents of the ship's fence plate, and suddenly knocked down several Wei troops on the shore from the top. However, Le Yanzhen, who was looking at this scene, felt obviously uneasy. He decided not to believe that these strange ships could impact and shake the formations and troops he had set up on the shore.

Not to mention that the continuous shooting of the heavy thunder and small raindrops can suppress and repel his defensive force. So where are the reliance and confidence of these peaceful thieves? Le Yanzhen thought about it and never knew what it was. However, when he turned around and looked at it, he was a little scared and shivered all over his body. Because, just in the direction of Linhuangcheng where he came, a very conspicuous smoke and clouds surged up to the sky had already risen.

There was also a general next to him exclaiming:

"Is Linhuangcheng broken? Congratulations to the king..."

However, Le Yanzhen's mind was awesome, asking him to believe that this was the result of the soldiers and horses who left behind to siege the city, who had already broken through the city defense and began to burn, kill and loot. It would be better to say that some unexpected situations and changes had occurred in the besieged camp. At this moment, he could no longer care about these thieves who were tentatively attacking near the shore, and he wanted to slap their horses and fly back to the formation.

It was only when Le Yanzhen, who had been following his fangs and guards, rushed toward the road with all his strength and not far, and he had already bumped into the defeated soldiers who were dragging the flags or retreating with bare hands. Most of them fled and evaded the roadside regardless of their own. Only a few of them stopped quickly after seeing Le Yanzhen's banner, and cried:

"Master, no, the Heyang army from the north fought against Linhuang City and broke the camp under the city."

Hearing this sentence, Le Yanzhen couldn't help but get angry and became dizzy, and almost fell off the horse's back. In the north, he appointed the prince Le Congxun as the capital of the horse and infantry army, and led tens of thousands of troops to deploy defenses with Daming Mansion as the core. How could it be broken through in just one or two days, and he rushed to his side and back without warning.

He also resented and regretted his selfishness and handed over his own responsibilities to this son who was always hard to support. But then Le Yanzhen forced himself back to his spirits from the inappropriate in depression and anger; because he could not fall here anymore, otherwise all efforts and calculations would be done. At the same time, he also missed the situation. Perhaps the invading enemy was just a light army and a partial army with limited scale success.

At least seven or eight thousand troops were still there to be defenses on the river bank. As long as he followed all the armed forces, he might have time to gather the collapsed formation and try his best to save the situation under Linhuang City. Even if the matter is really uncontrollable, he can use this army to fight out the blockade and blockade of the enemy from the north, and return to Daming Mansion and start again.

However, when Le Yanzhen gathered the defeated soldiers all the way and regrouped and rushed to Linhuang City to climb a slope to watch, all he could see was the camps shrouded in continuous fires and smoke under the city, as well as the enemy array that faintly appeared through the smoke; the next moment he almost wanted to kill the person who reported the news.

This is not the Heyang Army, who is accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and has to get a bargain? This is clearly in Henan, Guanzhong, where the famous Taiping thieves rely on for fame. However, when Le Yanzhen wanted to retreat without hesitation and redirectly join the back team, there was already a team of Taiping cavalry wandering on the edge of the battlefield, targeting them, such as the obvious foreign forces in a distinctly distinctive manner.

While the Taiping Tucao rushed over, it also released several flame arrows to mark the direction and send out. Therefore, not long after the team led by Le Yanzhen turned around, a tentative cannon fired near the earth slope. Then Le Yanzhen also took some effort to break through and shake off the pursuit of this Taiping Tucao;

However, when he led his troops to walk several miles away, he still did not meet the large group of people who should have been ordered to follow him. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and worry again. And at this time, another defeated soldier who escaped from the southern riverbank defense line once again confirmed his speculation and concern that he was unparalleled in his blessings and misfortunes never come singularly.

However, after he led the team back to Linhuangcheng's main formation, the people who stayed on the river bank to build defense lines were also ordered to put down their tools of labor, picked up swords, guns, armor and whole team prepared to attack; only left more than a thousand garrison forces on the shore as restraint, surveillance and confrontation. However, at this time, the strange vehicles and ships suddenly changed their course and accelerated forward.

Then, they stranded on the beach with soil and rocks. Immediately afterwards, many Taiping soldiers with licensed guns jumped off the boat. While using vehicles and ships as cover, they continued to shoot with the Wei army on the shore, while starting to work on the spot under the cover of the regiment signs, and completely fixed the vehicles and ships that were stranded by various means to this river beach.

Then, as the car and ship continued to rotate and tighten the turntable winch, several iron chains as thick as arms were pulled up in the river full of broken ice. Then, as these chains were pulled, there were iron floats that had been prefabricated on the other side, stretching and extending across the vast river surface one after another, and reaching the north shore with the impact of floating ice.

At this time, the Wei army left behind on the panic shore was left without anyone to make the decision. They just hid behind the building of the camp and shot arrows and couldn't hide out, allowing them to lay the very simple floating bridge in a short time. Then when the first team of Taiping soldiers arrived at the north shore along the paved bridge deck, the next thing would be out of control.
