Chapter 963: The First Arrival of Zhengyang
Behind Ye Yinfeng was a row of simple bamboo houses, and at this time he was watching the surging water by the Huai River, and he and Huang Fuhui stood side by side. "The front is Zhengyang Pass, and now it has been built into an impregnable city by the Great Zhou army, and you said that if they want to attack Shouzhou, they will build a pontoon bridge from Zhengyang City and wave their army south. At this time, the river was flowing rapidly, and it was almost impossible for the Great Zhou army to build a pontoon bridge in a short period of time. Huangfu Huiyao pointed to the other side of the river and said to Ye Yinfeng.
"See for yourself!" Ye Yinfeng spread out a small note with dense handwriting in his palm, and then just glanced at it a few times in a hurry, and then handed the note in his hand to Huang Fuhui. The latter took the note, he began to look at it roughly, and then his face began to become more and more solemn, he read almost every word and sentence in the note, and finally he returned the note to Ye Yinfeng.
"Not only did the Great Zhou send people to infiltrate Shouzhou City, but Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion also sent people to infiltrate Zhengyang City, and several spies were treated as ordinary people and were requisitioned as migrant laborers by the Great Zhou Army. This secret news came from these people, and the Great Zhou is expected to build the pontoon bridge tonight, and the siege will begin tomorrow. Ye Yinfeng's face was a little heavy, and he said to Huang Fuhui. And the note in his hand was also torn into pieces by him, and he raised it casually, and the fragments of the paper fell in the rolling river with the wind.
"Then what do you mean......" Huang Fuhui seemed to guess Ye Yinfeng's thoughts, and he asked cautiously. Tonight, we will set fire to Zhengyang Pass and burn all the pontoon bridges of the Zhou army. Without the pontoon bridge, the Zhou army naturally could not cross the river, and when the army of King Qi arrived, Shouzhou would be able to be saved. Ye Yinfeng said confidently. Okay, I'll arrange it, and then I will pick some soldiers with strong martial arts. When Huang Fuhui heard this, his eyes lit up and he responded.
In the Southern Tang military camp, Lin Renzhao quietly listened to Huang Fuhui's report, his thick eyebrows frowned, he sometimes nodded in response and sometimes lowered his head to think. At this time, Huang Fuhui told all his plans, and then waited for Lin Renzhao's response, and after a long time, Lin Renzhao turned his eyes away from the giant military map. "If your plan can succeed, at least it can be delayed until the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Qi's army, plus the defenders of Lord Liu of Shouzhou, we have enough troops to contend with the Great Zhou army." Lin Renzhao said in a deep voice.
"The last general knows that if it is not successful, the last general and others will die at the hands of the Zhou army. We have the heart of death, this time we will definitely burn the Zhou army's pontoon bridge, this unexpected strategy I believe the Zhou army will not expect. The chance of success can be said to be ninety percent, and this time it will definitely succeed. Huang Fuhui replied with an oath.
"You know it's a life-threatening situation, and you really have to take this risk." Lin Renzhao stared at Huang Fuhui with a brilliant gaze, "What we can think of, the generals of the Zhou army must be able to think of it, the pontoon bridge will definitely be guarded by heavy troops, you can think about it, leading the troops to fight is not child's play, once the military order comes out, even if the sky collapses, it cannot be changed." ”
"The last general is willing to make a military order." Huang Fuhui said in a firm tone, he naturally knew the danger of this mission, but he didn't choose it. Since joining Lin Renzhao's command, although he has been valued by Lin Renzhao, he has not been able to convince other generals, and this is his best chance to prove himself, coupled with Ye Yinfeng by his side, he believes that this time he will definitely return triumphantly.
"There is no need to make a military order, and the general wishes you to return triumphantly." Lin Renzhao's solemn face relaxed at this time. "The elite of the army is up to you to choose, this time you must kill the prestige of the Great Zhou, so that they can know that my Tang Army is not a weak scholar in Jiangnan, who said that the children of Jiangnan are bloodless, and the bloody pride of my Tang soldiers is no worse than that of the northern barbarians."
Huang Fuhui walked out of Lin Renzhao's tent in high spirits, holding the general order given to him by Lin Renzhao in his hand, and he found Ye Yinfeng. "Wenyuan, General Lin agreed to our plan, and you will accompany me to pick someone. General Lin said that the people in the whole military camp can be chosen by me, and we will definitely be able to kill the Great Zhou army this time. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and he said to Ye Yinfeng.
"The number of people should be small but not too much, many people are easy to expose, you try to pick some young and strong, and the strength should be greater, and those who are good at throwing and throwing are preferred. I won't accompany you to select personnel, the number of people is within a hundred, remember to be fine, not too many. Ye Yinfeng didn't accompany Huang Fuhui to select personnel, he decided to participate in this night attack plan himself, he needed to cultivate his spirit, and at the same time he was looking forward to this first battle, the battle between him and Ling Tianyun.
In addition to Huang Fuhui to select personnel, Ye Yinfeng also asked him to prepare several barrels of black oil, the Southern Tang Dynasty was originally a rich region, and it was impossible to get black oil, but Ye Yinfeng didn't know where Huang Fuhui got the black oil. Originally, he wanted to find some black stones, but the black stones could not be burned when they encountered water, so he finally gave up using the black stones. As for the usefulness of black oil, Huang Fuhui also knows that it ignites when it meets fire, which is a weapon for fire attack.
The night is miserable and drunk, the river is surging like chasing, taking advantage of the secluded night, Ye Yinfeng and Huangfu Hui stand on the bank of the Huai River, they face the river breeze, the other side of the river is Zhengyang Chengguan. As far as the eye can see, the white tents are arranged in an orderly manner like white mushrooms, and the faint candlelight shines from the tents, like mushrooms that glow with a shimmering light.
"On the other side of the river is the military camp of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou invaded our country and disturbed my people, they deceived me that the Tang Dynasty had no male blood and pride, and tonight we will let the Great Zhou Army see the true demeanor of my Tang Dynasty boy. Ben will know that after crossing this river, there is the Longtan Tiger's Den in front of him, but as a soldier of my Datang Dynasty, I must have the spirit of fearlessness in life and death, for the sake of the eternal stability of my Datang rivers and mountains, and for the safety of my Datang people, this operation must be successful. Although Huang Fuhui's mobilization speech was not overly passionate, it also inspired these hundreds of carefully selected elite soldiers.
The Southern Tang people and the Southern Tang army were criticized by other countries for their weakness, and all the Great Zhou troops went all the way south to the bank of the Huai River. The city north of the Huai River has been fully captured in the territory of the Great Zhou, with the mighty army of the tiger and wolf in Shouzhou, the Great Zhou army can wave the army to break the city and go south. The morale of the Southern Tang Army was low and there was no fighting spirit, and Huang Fuhui's enthusiasm and encouragement were like a raging flame, which stimulated these hundred strong soldiers.
Although Ye Yinfeng's appearance had some surprises in the eyes of these sturdy soldiers, none of them showed any contempt for Huang Fuhui's trust. They only looked at the blue-shirted young man who was younger than them and much thinner than them with a little doubt in their eyes. Ye Yinfeng stood beside Huang Fuhui for a long time, and stood like this, and gradually, the hundred soldiers felt a cold breath from the blue-shirted young man's body, although the night was extremely hot at this time.
Then Ye Yinfeng checked everyone's equipment again, and he wanted to send everyone to carry a bamboo tube with a bowl three or four feet long, which was filled with black oil. Everyone has a fire fold on their body, and the mouth of the bamboo tube is sealed tightly, even if it falls into the water, it will not affect the black oil in the bamboo tube. Everyone's face had an expression of indignation as if they were at home, their eyes were bright, and the murderous aura around them was even more stimulated.
"Cross the river!" With a wave of his hand, Huang Fuhui dragged out a light small raft from behind him like the wind, and they skillfully pushed the raft into the water of the Huai River. The raft rowed silently to the opposite shore in the water
Go, even though it was stormy, it did not affect the speed of the raft at all. The raft rowed quickly towards the opposite shore, and there was only the sound of surging and surging, but there was no sound of paddling and disturbing the water.
"General Lin, do you think they will succeed?" A general standing on the sentry tower asked Lin Renzhao in a low voice, and Lin Renzhao stared at the hundred elite heroes who were struggling to row a raft in the Huai River, he saw that the river flooded the hundred elites, and he saw that the night swallowed the hundred elites, until the hundred people completely disappeared in front of his eyes, he exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
"Whether they succeed or not, their feats will be recorded in the history of my Datang. My Datang soldiers need this kind of morale, and my Datang soldiers also need this victorious battle, and I believe they will succeed. After Lin Renzhao finished speaking, he walked straight down the sentry tower. The general looked blankly at the Huai River in the night, and he found that he couldn't see anything, except for the Great Zhou military camp in the distance, which was like a group of fluorescent lights.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" The river kept lapping against the rocks on the bank, and rafts emerged from the turbulent river. Several figures jumped from the raft to the shore, their bodies were as agile as cheetahs, and a hundred elites crossed the Huai River smoothly. The strong war intent in their eyes began to burn, because they were getting closer and closer to the Great Zhou military camp, and they could reach Zhengyang Guancheng by crossing a jungle from the river.
"Wenyuan, what are we going to do?" Huang Fuhui whispered to Ye Yinfeng, "Our troops are divided into three routes, all the way along the river, to find the specific location where the Great Zhou army built the pontoon bridge, and the second team to find the materials for building the pontoon bridge, as well as the assembled pontoon bridge. As for the third team, try to attract the attention of the Great Zhou Army as much as possible, and we will come up with a plan to attack the west. Ye Yinfeng replied in a low voice.
Huang Fuhui is worthy of being a generation of young generals, he quickly understood Ye Yinfeng's intentions, and there was a trace of regret and shame in his eyes. Everyone knows that this third team is going to die, and there is the kind that goes and never returns, to put it bluntly, everyone present may be cannon fodder. Because Ye Yinfeng still has a backhand, although Ye Yinfeng didn't tell himself, but with his understanding of Ye Yinfeng, they, a hundred or so people, are just to attract the Great Zhou Army.
Soon a personnel detachment was deployed, Ye Yinfeng led a team by himself, Huang Fuhui led a team, and the other team was a tall strong man Mao Sui recommended himself, this team was to expose the third team that attracted the Great Zhou Army. "Ben will hope that everyone can live, if we all die at the hands of Zhou Jun, then we will be brothers again in the Netherworld." Huang Fuhui said with a trace of tragic and high-spirited battle intent in his eyes.
"Wenyuan, take care!" Ye Yinfeng was about to leave with this team of thirty or so elites, Huang Fuhui called him, and then said to him. "It's the same with you." Ye Yinfeng showed a bright smile to the other party, and he turned around with a calm tone and a calm confidence. Huang Fuhui watched Ye Yinfeng and the others leave, he was silent for a while, and finally he took the remaining elites into the jungle.
As soon as Huang Fuhui's figure disappeared into the jungle, he felt a strange atmosphere enveloping him, and he waved his hand to stop the advancing crowd. At this time, the line of sight in this jungle is not very good, the field of vision is full of hazy light and shadow, although there is moonlight falling on the night sky, but this dense jungle covers the moon, he carefully looked around.
It was quiet all around, and occasionally the chirping of insects and birds reached his ears, but the strange aura in his heart still did not abate. In the end, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he made a gesture, and the figures of the group soon disappeared into the jungle.
