Chapter 234 Cross the river, cross the river

The way of heaven is good, but China must extend the truth.

Zhu Taizu made a bold statement to the soldiers who went to war for a hundred years, vowing to expel the Tartars and restore China.

Now, the emperor is about to roar, destroy slaves and pacify Liao, completely eliminate the future nightmare of China and prevent China from falling into the sensation everywhere.

The way of heaven is good, and it is also happening in Liaodong at this moment. In the past, Jiannu was launching and sieging cities and land. If the Ming army was able to defend the city, it would be a victory.

Now, it is Jiannu's turn to retreat to defend, and the Ming army is taking the initiative to attack.

Two floating bridges were built on the Haicheng River and extended forward steadily. After half a month, the Ming army finally began to cross the river and attack after full preparations on the other side of the river.

Full preparations were not only for preparing the wood for building bridges, but also built nearly a hundred small boats. In addition to setting up pontoon bridges, there were still more than fifty left, each of which could carry more than ten people and more than six hundred people were placed on the other side at a time.

In addition to wood and boats, Xiong Tingbi also carefully chose the location for building a bridge. The opposite bank is a shallow that breaks into the river, and the distance to building a bridge is the shortest.

But this is not the main reason. There is a sand embankment on the south bank. Although it is not high, the more than 100 Ming dynasties were laid out, but they were hidden behind them in turn and were not known to Jiannu on the other side.

The section of Haicheng River where the floating bridge is built is not wide, less than 200 meters, which is relatively narrow and is also very beneficial for the construction of floating bridges.

Six hundred musketeers were ready to go, and they would be the first vanguard troops to climb the shallows and occupy the bridgehead. Thousands of musketeers were divided into several batches and were ready to set out to respond to the battle.

The pontoon bridge was extending to the opposite side in an orderly manner, and Jiannu's small cavalry appeared on the other side, like a scout, swimming back and forth.

"General Zhang, you can act." Xiong Tingbi put down his telescope, turned around and gave an order to Zhang Pan.

"I will obey the order." Zhang Pan bowed and bowed, turned around and strode away.

It would be impossible to rely solely on the floating bridge. But Xiong Tingbi and the generals would set up a trap to give Jiannu a head-on attack.

The bait is to set off by boat? The six hundred musketeers who first boarded the shallows. The fire cover was more than a hundred artillery behind the sand dike? There were also the second and third batch of friendly troops who were reinforced by boat.

According to the observations and judgments of Xiong Tingbi and other generals, there were a large number of cavalrymen in Jiannu hidden away? Perhaps it was in Haizhou Acropolis more than ten miles away.

The reason why there was no large-scale dispatch? The purpose was to be revealed and I wanted to attack half-crossing? Or, while the Ming army's floating bridge had just been established and there were not many troops landing on the shore, launching a fierce attack.

How could Xiong Tingbi not guess such a simple military strategy as "Strike Half Crossing". For this reason? He carefully chose the location to build a floating bridge, carefully arranged a combat plan, and wanted to use the tricks to deal with the heavy blow to Jiannu who dared to attack.

The first batch of ferrying boats was only the 600-Ming Army Musketeers? This was estimated based on the area of ​​the prominent beach.

Moreover, the Ming army occupied this place, and the terrain was limited, so Jiannu wanted to attack and could not expand his troops. The water was on three sides, but the Ming army's vanguard reduced the defense of the enemy.

It's like fighting on a narrow street? No matter how many troops you have, you can only go backwards? The ones who can fight directly are the one or two rows in front.

In addition to the musketeers guarding the shallows, the Ming army also had the second batch of troops who came to reinforce by boat. They used muskets on the ship to form side attacks on Jiannu on both sides.

The fire of musket wheels is not enough. The concentrated bombardment of more than 100 artillery pieces will cause more serious casualties to the influx of enemies.

The width of the river surface allows you to see the opposite shore by looking up? The water flow is not turbulent? A gust of wind blows, passing through the water surface, and tiny waves blow.

"Weizhi first cross the river and landed on the shore. Please take the second batch of ships." The guerrilla Du Yueshan bowed his hand and said to Zhang Pan.

Unknown to the enemy's forces and deployments, the first batch of landings were the greatest danger. Du Yueshan, as the pioneer general who volunteered, saw that Zhang Pan was about to get on the ship, so he hurriedly stopped him.

After saying that, Du Yueshan also looked at Xiong Tingbi who was standing in the distance and added: "Mr. Jinglei will not allow you to take risks easily. Your responsibility is to command a cooperation, not a certain battalion."

Zhang Pan patted his old subordinates' arms and said, "You are right. I'll take the second batch of ships. As long as I hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Du Yueshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, the round shot of 600 musketeers is not that easy for Jiannu to defeat us."

As he said that, Du Yueshan gave a tribute, turned around, shouted loudly, and led the vanguards to board the wooden boats. More than fifty small boats started one after another, galloping towards the opposite shore.

"There are more than ten people in each boat, and there are fifty-two small boats." Jiannu scout rode his horse back and reported to Yue Tuo who was hiding in a large forest.

Yue Tuo nodded and waved, "Try again."

The scout ran away, and Yue Tuo raised his eyes to look into the river, suddenly stretched out his hand and said to the left and right: "Look at that ship, there should be an officer on it."

Everyone also saw the big red battle robe and bright armor, which clearly showed that they were an enemy officer.

"Is Mr. Beile going to kill this officer? Is it that he is in power to conquer the enemy?" Tong Yangxing said intriguingly.

Yue Tuo laughed and said, "Benbele really has this intention. Well, I haven't rushed to kill the enemy generals for a long time."

"Belle is very skilled in martial arts and is the best in the three armies. It takes no effort to kill this enemy general." Luo Xiujin gave him a flattery and smiled with a whisper.

Yue Tuo waved his hand humbly and said, "It's better to leave it to his subordinates to reward merits. How can Benbeile compete with them for the reward?"

Staring at the enemy on the boat, Yue Tuo showed a ferocious sneer on his face, and he waited for the enemy to get ashore. The boat left and launched another fierce attack, killing all the enemies on the ashore in one fell swoop.

Even, Yue Tuo had already begun to imagine that after winning, he would take the enemy's head to show off his power, and the enemy on the other side was frightened.

At this time, Ming soldiers had already stepped on the shallows, and Du Yueshan took the lead and immediately organized a line to guard the situation.

The wooden boat that the red-robed general was riding on was parked in the river and did not move closer to the shallows.

That's right, this is a fake officer. He let the enemy see it but cannot catch it, and he bought time for the second batch of Ming army crossing the river.

In the telescope's vision, Jiannu did not start immediately. Xiong Tingbi's mouth curled up, revealing a cunning sneer.

I think there are too few people crossing the river and the boat has not sailed far away, right? I have a big appetite, but unfortunately, if I want to swallow the bait in a short time, I may choke.

The six hundred Ming troops were quickly arranged neatly on the shallows, and the not-too-wide front only accommodated more than one hundred people. Five rows of musketeers were on the ground with live ammunition, and were on guard.

"Master Beile--" Luo Xiujin looked at the Ming army general who had never been ashore and felt something was wrong. She turned to remind Yue Tuo.
