When Chang Yu arrived at the Qingtong River, thousands of officers and soldiers were scolding the thief army across the river, at this time the sky was gray, it would not take much to completely darken, look around, the east is an endless water lake and lake, the northeast is the reckless mountains, the west is the river rushing, the Qingtong River is a river connecting the lake and the Yangtze River, just in front of the officers and soldiers, want to go to Chizhou can only pass from here!

However, as a natural defense line on the outermost part of Chizhou City, how could Bai Wang, who was newly defeated, allow the officers and soldiers to cross the river easily, regardless of fatigue, reorganize the soldiers and horses to establish a defense line along the coast, so that Wang Yien led more than 3,000 people to defend it to the death, and he had to block the officers and soldiers for three days no matter what, while he himself hurriedly returned to Chizhou to make preparations for the city defense.

Three days?

Think beautifully! Chang Yu didn't even give him a chance for three hours, and ordered the whole army to repair on the spot, and the logistics personnel came over to make a fire and make food, and at the same time transported the wounded soldiers back to the city, and transferred the Shenji battalion to the riverside!

"The Overseer is going to attack overnight?" Wu Sangui frowned: "We are already tired...... If you use troops again at this time...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Chang Yu snorted and turned his head and asked Ma Ke: "What does Mr. Ma think?" ”

Ma Ke gritted his teeth: "The thief army is also tired, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and cross the river first, if you wait for the thief army to recover and be well prepared, it will not be so easy to cross the river!" ”

"We are short of ships at this time, and the soldiers have just fought a big battle, so I am afraid that we will not be able to use it again" Wu Sangui thought that it was best to storm and cross the river early tomorrow morning, so even Li Muxian and Lu Daqi and others thought so.

"But more than ten meters of water surface is no boat, what can I do" Chang Yu pondered for a while and said to Wang Tizhong: "General Wang, your department is proficient in water, how about taking the lead?" ”

Wang Tizhong did not hesitate to respond, he originally had 6,000 troops to surrender, after several fierce battles, at this time there were more than 3,000 soldiers to fight: "However, our troops suffered serious losses in the previous fierce battles and were too tired, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support alone, can the Overseer ......?"

"Of course this governor won't let you go alone, Lu Dashuai will send more than a thousand assists on his side, and there shouldn't be much difficulty in covering the artillery of the Shenji Battalion!" Chang Yu looked at the other side and narrowed his eyes into a slit: "This battle is not to defeat the enemy, but to cross the river!" ”

When Wang Tizhong heard him say this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "With the artillery suppression of the Shenji Battalion, it will be much easier for us to cross the water, and the bandit army on the other side is only three or four thousand, and the final general will be sure to push them back to cover the rear army to cross the river."

Speaking of crossing the river, Chang Yu has a headache again, there is no boat in his hand at the moment, the soldiers in the king's body and the southern soldiers of Lu Daqi are mostly proficient in water, and the water of more than ten meters is nothing more than for them, but it is an insurmountable barrier for the soldiers in the north.

However, the top priority at the moment is to hurry up and land on the beach, if the enemy is fully prepared to attack it, it will take a lot of twists and turns, and it is impossible to directly advance to the city of Chizhou at the moment, but it is necessary to cross the river first and gain a firm foothold.

Since Chang Yu decided to take advantage of the victory to attack and seize the river, Wu Sangui and the others were not good at objecting, and took advantage of the fact that everyone sat around to discuss how to quickly and effectively break the thief defense line, and waited for the arrival of the Shenji Battalion by the way.

Because the mountain road was dug by the thief army, the potholes and ravines were criss-crossed, and the march was extremely inconvenient, not to mention that the Shenji battalion still had guys, and the speed was even slower, Chang Yu waited for nearly an hour, and his men and horses had not all arrived, but he waited for someone who surprised him very much.

Wang Zamao!

After jumping into the Yangtze River, the cargo floated down the river for several miles, grabbed the grass on the shore and lay down for a long time, and when he heard that the officers and soldiers were winning a great victory, they were pursuing the thief army with all their might, so he ran more than ten miles deep and shallow for more than ten miles.

This guy is not dead yet, it is big enough, Chang Yu was a little surprised to see that Wang Zamao was still alive, but in a blink of an eye, he changed color, and roared: "Wang Zamao, you did a good thing!" ”

"Humble duty, humble duty, do your best, thousands of people fought hard, only five or six hundred people remained...... Wang Zamao was originally here to invite merit, Na Zhi, as soon as he saw it, the little eunuch was angry and scolded all the way, which made him startled and knelt down!

"This governor asked you to outflank the thief army from behind, how could you be beaten by others, and gave more than 100 boats to the thieves in vain, if not, then Bai Wang would have died here today!"

"It's the incompetence of the lowly position, it is the incompetence of the lowly position" Wang Zamao begged for mercy again and again: "The lowly duty remembered the instructions of the overseer and only cared about rushing forward, but he was careless and was outflanked by Bai Wang from behind, so that he ...... Guilty of lowly duty! ”

"That's it!" Chang Yu picked up Wang Zamao: "If you hadn't outflanked the thief army from behind, it would not have been possible to rout so quickly, this is your work, it's a pity how could you be so careless, not to mention being outflanked by him, and giving away more than 100 ships, this is your fault...... If the merits and demerits are offset, the governor will no longer be embarrassed with you" said and patted him on the shoulder: "You are already great, very good, and the governor will give you a chance to make meritorious service when you turn back!" ”

Wang Zamao was frightened by the little eunuch's scolding, and turned to listen to him keep saying that he was great and warm in his heart, but it was a pity that the great work in hand was resisted, and he was excited when he listened to the last sentence when he regretted it: "I heard that the overseer will attack the river later, and I am willing to take the lead!" ”

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked embarrassed: "But this job has been handed over to Wang Tizhong...... Wang Zamao became anxious when he heard it: "Lord Overseer, there are still three or four hundred people under the lowly position, all of whom are proficient in water, and the lowly one asks the Overseer to give Xiao a chance to atone for his sins."

"Damn, Lao Tzu loves your unyielding personality" Chang Yu took a step forward and punched Wang Zamao in the chest: "This governor will give you this opportunity again, if you break the defense line of the thief army, this governor will not blame you in the past, and I will give you the first credit."

Wang Zamao was overjoyed and bowed his head again and again to thank him, and then went to gather people to prepare to cross the river.

"If it goes on like this, the little person in Wang Zamao's hand will be tossed away" Li Muxian smiled beside Chang Yu: "Wang Tizhong and the Duke no longer have to worry about what waves he can make."

Chang Yu sighed: "He can't stop him if he arches himself, who can be blamed."

As he was talking, Wang Tizhong walked over from a distance and had a smile on his face: "Lord Overseer, why did you give that work to Wang Zamao?" ”

"He is your subordinate general, what is the difference between using you and using him?" Chang Yu said this deliberately, and Wang Tizhong sneered: "That's not true, the last general can not move him now, if the last general uses him as a vanguard, he will be exhausted and shirk, but the Lord Overseer uses him, look at him like a wolf now."

"Isn't this right for you" Chang Yu smiled very playfully, Wang Tizhong looked at him and nodded, and arched his hand heavily: "The Governor has a good intention, and he has no choice but to swear to the death to follow the Lord Governor to kill the thief and quell the chaos!" ”

"That's enough" Chang Yu laughed and patted his shoulder: "After crossing the river, the governor will celebrate the general's achievements!" ”

Wang Ti Center was satisfied to prepare for the attack, Wang Zamao's three or four hundred were only vanguards, which were used to block arrows and fill pits, and it was his main force that could really defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and influence the battle situation.

"The Governor kills two birds with one stone, and the five bodies that are admired by the poor Dao are thrown to the ground!" Seeing Wang Tizhong leaving, Li Muxian began to snort again, Chang Yu smiled without saying a word, looking at the fire in the south, the smile on his face became more and more cruel.
