Chapter 364 The ship is coming
In Dorgon's camp by the Yalu River, Dorgon had just arranged for today's sentry mission work. Considering that the Goryeo people were well prepared, the sentry mission arranged for ten miles to go forward.
The personal soldiers of Aobai, who had the yellow flag outside the gate, sent another message. Aobai found another shallow, and the Goryeo also set up traps and ambushes.
Oboi planned to swim over at night, but the place had been decided, hoping that Dorgon would attract the attention of Jiannu on the opposite side at night.
Dorgon was so angry that he had a toothache. How could he attract attention? Isn’t it just organizational forced crusade? The question is who to send? Who is willing to go?
After thinking about it, Dorgon put his ideas on the Han army flag, and only these Han army flags would obey obediently.
Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde made great progress, with Kong Wu's powerful and upright soldier, with a shiny forehead and a small braid with a rat-tailed braid swaying.
The three of them knelt on the ground with a majestic look, kneeling down like they were filial to their parents: "Slave joins the master!"
Dorgon laughed: "You three don't have to be polite, come and sit down!"
What Dorgon likes most is the appearance of the three people as loyal ministers and filial sons, which can comfort his injured heart and forget about the unhappiness.
After sitting down, Geng Zhongming asked with his fists, "I wonder what instructions does Prince Rui have to summon us?"
Dorgon was not polite and said directly: "Today I will invite you to discuss the matter of assisting Oboi in crossing the river.
Oboi plans to swim across the river tonight, raid the enemy on the other side, and fight us to stand in front. In order to attract the attention of the opponent, we need to make some noise and cooperate.
You don’t have to rush over, of course you can rush over, and you will get a great reward! If you can’t rush over, as long as you have momentum!"
The three of them looked at each other. What is the difference between forcing the river to cross the river under the enemy's nose?
But even though they knew it was a mission to die, they had to agree not. Isn’t they just doing this?
Dorgon continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, three, I will bring two white flags to support you, and the artillery battalion will also launch artillery to support you."
Dorgon said that the three of them had to hold their fists and take the order.
Dorgon's Han army flag quietly reorganized his army and came to the riverside without a ship, unlike Jiannu who had a horse that could catch his horse's tail and swim.
The Han army had only a few people holding a big tree and planned to swagger across the river.
After discussing the discussion, the three Han army flag elites first made a Niulu to test it. One thousand two hundred people hugged the wood and went down the river. The people in the craftsman camp immediately cried.
These people took away three or four hundred of them in one breath, and the craftsman camp had to go to log wood overnight, saving the delay of tomorrow's progress.
Although the river water in April and May is still a little cool, it is no longer frozen when swimming. The Yalu River flows smoothly. As soon as the wood comes, several people thrust hard and head toward the other side.
On the other side of the river, the Goryeo people didn't know what they were going to do here, but because the craftsmen who built the bridge in Jiannu kept working, there were always people guarding the other side.
Of course, the Koreans are not stupid either. In order to prevent the other party from swimming secretly, the river also arranged a ship to patrol back and forth.
For their own safety, the wardrobe was surveillance near the south bank, so the Han army flag that had just entered the water was not discovered by the other party. However, after a while, the warning on the river immediately rose.
Geng Zhongming shook his head helplessly: "If there is enough time, we can build some rafts, at least we can use bows and arrows! Why do you think about building a bridge as soon as you get up?"
Kong Youde looked at the movements on the river: "It's not for artillery, these are Prince Rui's treasures. Prince Rui plans to make great use of it!"
Shang Kexi came over and said, "Hey, do you think the new artillery of the Ming Dynasty is really that powerful? Its sound is ten miles away, and one shot is destroyed by hundreds of steps?"
Geng Zhongming snorted: "We have seen cannons making, they are all boastful. The teacher's red-clothed cannon did not make it sound like a loud sound, and one cannon was destroyed by hundreds of steps.
I think it must be the soldiers on the front line who were scared and bragged about it.”
Kong Youde saw rockets on the opposite side starting to shoot towards the river surface, shooting three or four hundred steps away. He probably wanted to use the rocket to see the situation on the river surface.
Kong Youde frowned: "Would we send the second group to follow us? Otherwise, wouldn't these more than a thousand people die in vain?"
Geng Zhongming shook his head: "Even if you are sending people, it's useless. You can only fill in more people. Look, the torch opposite, the Goryeo is alert!"
Sure enough, the torches opposite were red, and the army on Goryeo had already started to line up, and the archers also stood on the bank of the river.
The three of them were chatting about the cannons here, and everyone was shooting solid bullets. Not to mention the middle of the night, even if the cannons were fired in broad daylight, it was entirely up to luck.
Therefore, the cannons fired across the river bank, and except for the strong momentum, they really had no practical effect.
After working hard for more than an hour, everyone suddenly looked upstream, and the firelights in the upstream reflected the red sky.
The three of them looked at each other, and Geng Zhongming asked in surprise: "Aobai has ignited the camps of many parties?"
Kong Youde thought about it and shook his head: "Such a strong fire looks like a gunpowder depot, right?"
Shang Kexi said affirmatively: "It's not gunpowder, the gunpowder fire is bright, but it's a matter of a moment. You see, the fire continues. Either it ignites the mountains and forests, or it's the grain warehouse!"
The three of them felt that it wouldn't be so coincidental that the grain warehouse was burned. Besides, Yizhou City is not there, how stupid should the Koreans be to set up the grain warehouse outside the city?
Geng Zhongming asked in confusion: "But Aobai crosses the river, why are you burning the mountains when you cross the river?"
Shang Kexi smiled: "Why can it be? It's probably because the Koreans hid in the mountains and forests and attacked them. When Obai saw that it was difficult to search the mountains at night, he simply set fire to the mountains!"
Kong Youde looked at the two of them: "Let's not stand there either. Since Obai has crossed the river, he will soon be able to defeat the Goryeo people on the opposite side. Let's cross the river quickly!
Don’t be scolded if you don’t get any credit or get scolded. You both have said goodbye and I’m going to reorganize the army.”
Shang Kexi thought about it and said that this was true. He clasped his fists and said, "Then I'm going too. Come on, cross the river quickly and pick up some soup to drink."
Geng Zhongming immediately sent an order and began to send more people to cross the river. For a time, the wood from the craftsman camp was looted, and the insufficient part was arranged to log the wood.
But there is one thing Geng Zhongming doesn't understand. Since he has crossed the river, why don't the Goryeo people on the opposite side go back to the city to prepare for defense?
At this time, I am still guarding the shore, aren’t you afraid of being attacked on the wing?
Half an hour later, the first batch of Han military flags that had swam across were dead, and the second batch also arrived in the center of the river. This time, the three of them invested five or six thousand troops.
This is because there is not enough wood, otherwise the three of them would have wanted to drive their subordinates into the river.
At this time, dozens of boats suddenly floated from the river...
