Chapter 61: The Great Victory of Chishui

Qu Shiyun's camp was not in a certain county town, but relied on Chishui Town. Lined up on both sides of the Xijiang River, it is almost like a chicken and a dog in Wuzhou City.

It's not that Qu Shiyun doesn't want to find a city as a basis, there is a ready-made city. It's much more important than setting up camp in the wild, and Wuzhou City is too important. If the defenders of Wuzhou City were not contained, the Xia army would have the right to move freely in Guangxi.

Therefore, Qu Shiyun had tens of thousands of troops and camped along both sides of the Xijiang River, and above the Guijiang River, there was also a camp. The three camps stood in solidarity with each other.

Qu Shiyun also knew that most of him were newly trained soldiers, so the camp was quite strong, and it was simply interlocking. Artillery, ravines, fences, antlers, and pontoon bridges over the Xijiang River are also linked. They are intertwined.

However, although such a situation seems to be solid, there is a fatal problem, that is, it is too close to Wuzhou City.

After Cao Zongyu received the news of Guilin, he quietly marched west by boat that night under the escort of Lin Cha. All the ships were under the lights, and at night it was pitch black, and it was impossible to say that you couldn't see your fingers, but you could only see some things clearly when you looked at the stars in the sky and the waning moon. Under the illumination of some stars and moons, a trace of outline can be seen in the near objects, but the outline of the distant objects cannot even be seen clearly.

Even if you look far away, you can only see large clumps of ink. It was impossible to tell if it was the outline of a distant object, or if it was pure black.

All of them were strictly ordered by Cao Zongyu not to speak.

The first ship was Lin Cha with the best sailors in Wuzhou City to open the way in front, it is said that these sailors are old sailors who have been running on the Xijiang River for most of their lives, and they can walk along the Xijiang River even with their eyes closed. Of course, this is just a daily boast.

And today they really let them sail with their eyes closed, and they couldn't wait to stare out their eyes one by one, lest something go wrong, not only his head would be lost, but even his family members in Wuzhou City would be implicated.

There was only one dead wind lamp in the stern of the boat. This faint light is emitted to guide the ships behind them.

Put a light in this position, and you don't have to worry about being seen by enemies in the distance.

Cao Zongyu was on the second boat, he stood at the bow of the boat, only to feel that the river wind at night drilled straight into him along the gap in the armor, making him feel a chill. It also made him realize that his body and bones were not as good as before. Of course, when he escaped death at the south gate of Linying City, he fell ill.

At the beginning, the first-class warriors in Cao Ying's camp were almost as powerful as unrestrained chickens, and they couldn't even blow a little river breeze.

At this moment, he could only hear the sound of the river wind and the sound of the river, and suddenly a large area of fire was reflected in front of him

In Cao Zongyu's eyes, Cao Zongyu's breathing seemed to have missed a beat. Since he came to Wuzhou, he has been preparing for this battle, and this moment is finally the time to make a move.

In Jiao Lian's camp, beside a large number of bonfires, a man in his twenties, shirtless, with large and small scars on his body, looked like a centipede. It was terrifying, and even a scar spread to his neck.

Just look at it, this scar is extremely dangerous, and this knife only needs to be a little deeper. It's not a matter of leaving a scar.

The big man sat on top of a mazar and pulled out a long miao-knife with his backhand. Plunge the knife into the campfire. After burning for a while, he took it out of the bonfire, but he saw that the blade was slightly red, and there were countless black ashes on the blade of the knife overnight.

This big man wiped it with a damp cloth from beginning to end.

He only felt a sword of light reflected in his eyes. In the reflection of the big man's eyes, and in the eyes. Uncontrollable killing intent.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry." The big man secretly said in his heart: "I will avenge you." ”

Then he got up and put on his clothes. Start the camp.

His name is Yang Qijiao, and he is a fierce general under Jiao Lian.

The so-called people gather like people. Things are divided into groups. Jiao Lian's own skills are strong. Naturally, a large number of fierce generals have gathered around him, and Yang Qijiao is one of them. Known as Jiao Lian's right-hand man, Jiao Lian also trusts Yang Qijiao very much, so the heavy responsibility of guarding the camp at night was taught to him.

He came all the way.

The non-commissioned officers on duty saluted one after another: "General Yang." ”

Yang Qijiao's face remained unchanged. They didn't even glance at their eyes, but the soldiers around them didn't care, because they all knew that Yang Qijiao was not in a good mood now, so they didn't want to touch his moldy head.

Yang Qijiao walked on the wall, and all the walls were built with sturdy wood. Walking on it does not have that "knock" sound of hitting the plank at all. On the contrary, it was silent, as if walking on flat ground, and it can be seen that Qu Shiyun was on the wall and put a lot of effort into it.

"General Yang. There was a food convoy outside. A soldier came to report and said: "They claim to have come from Cen Xi and want to enter the camp, but the lower official has reiterated to him that the camp will never open the camp gate in the night." The noisy said that they wanted to see the general. ”

When Yang Qijiao heard this, his hand slammed into the handle of the knife, as if he wanted to draw the knife instantly. His breathing suddenly became short, he took several deep breaths, suppressed it, his voice seemed to become low, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go and see." ”

said that Yang Qijiao came to the camp gate.

The gate of the camp is the most strictly guarded place of the camp, with two tall watchtowers facing each other on the left and right, and a long ravine stretching in front of the camp

Stretched, the suspension bridge can only be passed if it is lowered, and even after the suspension bridge is lowered. There are also several antlers, which have been clad in iron gates, and behind the clad iron gates, there are still a lot of artillery, ready to fire at any time.

Under this layer of defense. The Xia army wanted to storm and capture this camp gate, but it was not an easy task.

It's just that there are people answering at the moment, but it's much easier. Yang Qijiao looked at the convoy opposite, there were probably dozens of carriages, and looking at the things on the carriages, it should be grain. Tens of thousands of troops are stationed here, so they naturally have to accept food supplies from all directions, and if there is no grain and grass support from all over the country, Qu Shiyun will not be able to support it for several months.

However, Yang Qijiao's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see the unfolded red cloth on the carriage at a glance.

Knowing that the person who came was Xia Jun, there was no doubt about it.

I closed my eyes for a moment. But even when the eyes were closed, the beads of the eyes were still trembling slightly. Although he had already made an appointment with Xia Jun's side, when the matter came, he was a little hesitant, to let it go or not?

In the darkness of miles away, many of the soldiers lay on their horses, and the cavalry themselves lay on the ground with their horses.

There are not many cavalry in this group, but they are all veterans, and they can at least hide hundreds of meters away, and there is not a trace of neighing from horses.

A bronze pipe stretched out, Cao Zongyu's hands were pinched on the clairvoyant mirror, and because of the light, Cao Zongyu couldn't find where Yang Qijiao was for a while. But you can clearly see that the door is not open.

Cao Zongyu secretly said in his heart: "If Yang Qijiao can't fulfill the promise." Then I have to storm it. ”

Although after nightfall, Cao Zongyu set off from Wuzhou. But it takes a lot of time to walk cautiously all the way. It's the middle of the night. It's not long before dawn. It is impossible for Cao Zongyu to pin all his hopes on Yang Qijiao.

If Yang Qijiao temporarily repents, it may not be impossible to attack.

However, just when Cao Zongyu was secretly worried, he saw something moving in the clairvoyant mirror, and he looked over carefully, and it was the suspension bridge that shook slightly, pulling down the iron chain. Slowly fell.

Seeing this, Cao Zongyu put a heart in his stomach, and he waved his hand back. All the officers saw it and told it one by one. All the soldiers held their breath and waited for Cao Zongyu's order, and Cao Zongyu turned out a short fire gun from his hand. The gunpowder on it had already been filled. All that remains is to hook the trigger, and the flint can be fired.

This soldier disguised as a grain transport team from Cenxi County no longer disguised himself as soon as he entered the camp gate. Qin Meng gave an order and immediately seized all the key points. The various departments of the Ming army were taken aback when they saw this, and they all prepared to fight, and a few people looked at Yang Qijiao.

Yang Qijiao wants to charge in front and retreat in the back. The soldiers below also regarded him as the backbone of the heart.
