Chapter 1455 Crossing the river and approaching the city(1/2)
The army slowly advanced, and the cavalrymen were having fun in front, surrounding the few hundred Southern Zhou scouts in the middle, making strange noises and teasing them.
"The soldiers are very happy!"
Han Ji smiled.
"If you win a battle, you should naturally be happy." He Lianrong said: "
"Difficult!" He Lianyan said: "The Southern Zhou Army demolished the bridges upstream and downstream, and there are cavalry patrolling the coast. The Jinyiwei spies can't pass on the news."
This is a troublesome thing right now.
But King Qin was not in a hurry at all. He took his son to the Yingshui River, pointed to a big tree upstream and said, "My father was fishing under that big tree back then."
That year, he was just a newcomer in Northern Xinjiang.
This time, as the King of Qin, he came to the north bank of Yingshui River and looked at Bianjing.
On the other side, the defenders formed a formation.
"That's King Qin!"
"Yes! And she has a child with her."
The Southern Zhou Army on the other side discovered King Qin and his son. Someone said, "Come here with the crossbow! Give him a shot." "Idiot!" Someone sneered, "Pull the crossbow over and King Qin can't see it? If he does it again, I really want to shoot him."
If King Qin is killed, who do you think among us can survive?"
"I'm afraid that King Qin's men will massacre the city."
Everyone shuddered and looked at the person who came up with the idea with unkind eyes.
The man said sarcastically: "I'm just saying it."
This is when someone from the other side shouted: "Come here."
A general came over here and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Down!"
"No surrender!"
The loud-voiced civil servant on the other side pointed at the general and said with a smile, "I know you definitely want to surrender."
The King of Qin looked at the civil servants and the other side and asked, "Have the people who went to explore the road come back?"
Jiang Heer said: "They found local fishermen with good water quality and went downstream."
"good!"
On that day, the Northern Xinjiang Army camped on the north bank. They lit a bonfire and ate barbecue in the middle of the night. Their unscrupulousness reached the extreme. But the defenders on the other side of the river stayed awake all night, fearing a surprise attack by the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Only one wooden bridge was demolished, and hundreds of archers were guarding the bridge. It was more dangerous than one man blocking the bridge and ten thousand others unable to open it.
This bridge, according to the above statement, is the channel for communication with the Northern Xinjiang Army.
"Your Majesty, Sun Shi is here."
The news of Sun Shi's arrival shocked the court.
"That old dog is here again."
Fang Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Does he still dare to implement any new policies at this moment?"
On the morning of the second day, Nian Xu summoned the ministers to discuss matters.
"Move the capital!"
Sun Shi said simply: "Ying Shui can't defend it."
In the letter left to him, Han Bi analyzed the problem of Yingshui's defense line, mainly due to the confusion of people's hearts.
"Why can't you defend it?" Fang Chong looked at his old enemy with a sneer, "There is only a bridge in Yingshui, guarded by hundreds of warriors and powerful crossbows. Even Ning Yayun dare not cross it."
"Do you know how long Yingshui is?" Sun Shi asked.
Well!
Fang Chong was stunned for a moment.
"You can't cross here, and you can't cross anywhere else?" Sun Shi said, "Can you see the entire Yingshui?"
Fang Chong: "..."
"Move the capital!" Sun Shi shook his head.
In the middle of the night, King Qin suddenly summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.
The ministers entered the tent sleepily and saw that besides King Qin, there was also a man wearing a water jacket. King Qin pointed at the man and said: "This is a local righteous man with good water quality. He led his scouts 20 times downstream."
I found a shallow water area where I could cross the river. Without further ado...,
King Qin turned his eyes and said, "Jiang Cunzhong!"
"I'm here!"
"You lead five thousand people on horseback and set off. One man and two horses, and they will ride all the way. You must cross the Yingshui River tomorrow morning, go around, and launch an offensive against the enemy in front of you."
"Take your orders!"
Jiang Cunzhong went out. Later, the faint neighing of war horses could be heard from the rear camp.
"Do you have the sheepskin raft that I have prepared?" King Qin asked.
"Yes."
The army craftsmen made a lot of this stuff.
"Bring them all. After we seize the bridge tomorrow, one bridge is too slow to cross the river. Use a sheepskin raft to help."
"yes!"
King Qin smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to see Bianjing City!"
In the early morning of the second day, there was some fog on the river.
More than twenty miles downstream, more than ten Southern Zhou cavalry lazily patrolled along the river bank.
"Looking at the mist, it's like a fairyland." A sergeant pointed at the river and said.
"Do you want to be a god?" someone laughed.
The sergeant shook his head, "The Northern Xinjiang Army is on the other side, I just want to save my life."
"Your Majesty is still in Bianjing!"
"So what? He said he was causing trouble with Peng Jing and others."
At this time, both the monarch and his ministers ignored their dignity and caused a stir.
Everyone sighed.
"What's that?" A sergeant pointed to the opposite side.
The thin mist was knocked away.
A horseman rushed out, and the Northern Xinjiang cavalry wearing black armor on horseback smiled evilly at them.
"Enemy attack!"
Countless cavalry rushed out of the mist and rushed into the river.
Five thousand cavalrymen, each with two horses, crossed Yingshui easily.
Of the dozen or so Southern Zhou cavalrymen, only three escaped, and among them, the sergeant who was said to have saved his life was among them.
"Set off!"
As soon as they crossed the river, Jiang Cunzhong set off with his cavalry.
They all had breakfast on horseback.
The king of Qin has risen.
He took his son for a slow walk along the river.
Very comfortable.
The defenders on the other side felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Look, they are quite tired. It can be seen that they didn't sleep much last night." King Qin pointed at the defenders opposite and said, "Prepare the fishing rods and teach A Liang how to fish. Alas! Jiang Taigong fishes, and whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait."
"
Nian Xu didn't sleep much either.
He had a dream, in which the emperors of the Southern Zhou Dynasty took turns scolding him, saying that he was so stupid that the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Nian Xu opened his eyes and it was already bright outside.
But he only slept for half an hour.
"What's the matter?"
Nian Xu's hoarse voice sounded a little impatient.
