Chapter 865: Eight Eight Three Fierce Battle 7
He is now angry and thunderous, and he doesn't care who is in front of him, whether it is someone's duty or not. Please copy this address to the browser to see that in fact, it makes no sense for him to be angry at Zhao Si, Zhao Si and the others are just his personal guards, not scouts. In fact, Sun Xiang's subordinates did not have scouts at all, and he had not even learned to do a good job of reconnaissance before the war. In the few battles he fought, he took people directly to the ground, and then started fighting, relying on the number of people to crush the past, and some even saw that there were so many people on his side, so they surrendered directly. Sun Xiangzhu's understanding of war is as simple as that.
Although he was reprimanded for no reason, Zhao Si didn't dare to touch Sun Xiang's bad head at this time, so he hurriedly agreed and 'handed over' the task to his subordinates.
He hadn't done this before, and he didn't know how to do it, so he had to think on his own. His method is also very simple, but he divided his men into two teams, one team went west along the Huanshui River, and the other team went east, and he followed to the east, he didn't want to stay here, don't be reprimanded again.
Seeing the actions of the White Lotus Sect members here, Shi Jin raised his eyebrows and said to Dong Zhongxian on the side: "You also let your subordinates go around!" Keep an eye on them! ”
"Yes!"
Because Dong Zhongxian is Dong Ce's family member, not Shi Jin's subordinate, Shi Jin is also quite polite to him. But Dong Zhongxian understands the rules very well, doesn't take big things at all, and strictly abides by the order.
In this war, the scouts were all led by Dong Zhongxian.
He himself took seven or eight scouts to stay where he was, and then divided the other scouts into two groups and probed in two directions, staring at Zhao Si and the others on the opposite bank across the Huanshui River.
Then Zhao Si found that on the way to the east, there was a group of officers and soldiers from the Rock Fort on the north bank of the Huanshui River. Zhao Si and they walked fast, and the Rock Fort soldiers on the other side walked fast, and Zhao Si and they walked slowly, and the Rock Fort army also walked slowly.
Anyway, it's just staring at it.
Zhao Si still wanted to get rid of them, but after trying once, he didn't try anymore - everyone had war horses, but they walked with their feet, even if they ran fast, they could easily catch up.
Zhao Si walked to the east with people for half an hour, but found that there was still no way to the other side. To their left was always the river and it did not narrow in the slightest. This damn rock fort is hiding behind the Huanshui River, as long as you want to hit the rock fort, you have to cross it from the Huanshui River.
Want to get around? There are no 'doors'!
In desperation, Zhao Si had no choice but to take someone back.
When he returned, the team to the west also returned, and the news brought back was generally the same, and there was no shortcut to take but to cross the river.
Sun Xiangzhu was disappointed, and he was even more furious, his emotions were almost out of control, and he caught Zhao Si and scolded him. Zhao Si honestly drooped his head and was scolded, but there was a big scolding in his heart. It turned out that he still admired Sun Xiangzhu a little, and felt that this person had the means, ability, and a bit of luck, and with him, maybe he could do something big. But today's performance in this battle made him completely see the true face of Sun Xiangzhu.
What is it! Zhao Si scolded in his heart.
At the same time, he was also a little worried, for fear that Lord Sun Xiang would be angry with him and order him to be killed. That's a lot of wrongdoing. He was even ready, if Lord Sun Xiang really dared to kill him, he would lead someone to turn against him, kill him, and then escape.
Anyway, there will be a big 'chaos' at that time, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to take care of anyone.
But in the end, Lord Sun Xiang didn't get home in a daze, and he didn't move him, after all, Lord Sun Xiang still has to rely on him.
He scolded for a while, and the anger in his heart subsided a little, and he began to think of a way.
In fact, there are few ways that can be used now, the bridge can't be crossed, swim across, and few people know how to water, so there is only one option left: shipbuilding.
Or, to be more precise, building rafts.
Lord Sun Xiang looked around, and suddenly his brows were twisted.
On the south bank of the Xunshui River, there are few trees as far as the eye can see, how to build a ship?
Wang guessed his intentions and said softly: "My lord, on the way here, I saw that there were several villages, and there were many houses in them, and I should be able to find a lot of beams and wood, which could be used to build ships. ”
"That's right!"
Lord Sun Xiang was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed: "You have a good idea!" ”
He hugged Wang and reached out to squeeze her a few times, making Wang hurt a little. Wang smiled, but there was some reluctance in his smile, but Sun Xiangzhu couldn't see it.
Lord Sun Xiang immediately gave an order.
According to his orders, 1,500 congregants were left here to wait in place, so that they could sit down and rest, and there was no need to stand any more. Another 1,000 people went to the surrounding villages to search for wood suitable for the construction of rafts. There were also 500 people who rushed back to the White Lotus Sect's residence to 'get' some food.
Before sending troops to fight the Rock Fort this time, Sun Xiang was full of confidence, thinking that it would not take an hour to defeat the Rock Fort, so he didn't even bring food, and he felt very hungry at this time.
One order after another was issued, and groups of White Lotus Sect members also left here.
In a short time, the White Lotus Sect on the south bank of the Hunshui River was less than half.
Some White Lotus Sect members built a pergola, put chairs in it, and invited Lord Sun Xiang and the Wang family to go inside to rest. Lord Sun Xiang stayed in the pergola with such a big grin, not thinking at all that the Rock Fort infantry on the opposite side would come to sneak attack.
Across the river, when the order was delivered on the south bank, a single word could be heard on the north bank. By observing the actions of the White Lotus Sect on the South Bank, Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong could roughly guess what they were doing. Shi Jin squinted his eyes and looked at the other side, according to his estimates, there were only about a thousand members of the White Lotus Sect at this time, and the number of people had been greatly reduced, and compared to his own family, the advantage in numbers had been lost a lot.
He hesitated in his heart, and said secretly: "This is a good opportunity, why don't you just lead the troops over and 'engage' them head-on?" ”
But after a long time, he still gave up this idea of 'seducing' people.
He could conclude that if he led his troops over now, he would definitely be able to defeat them, but on his own side, there would definitely be some casualties. And the end is a defeat, not a total annihilation, that is, it may only kill a very small number of enemies, and most of them run away.
The dead man in his own house, Shi Jin didn't want to see it. And it can only inflict a small amount of damage on the enemy, and he doesn't want to see it. If it was just defeated, the White Lotus Sect would be able to regroup after retreating for dozens of miles, and the blow to them would not be great, and in this way, the credit would be small.
You said that it was defeated, but when the report went up, the White Lotus Sect members must have gathered again, and maybe there was still a suspicion of lying about military exploits.
It is better to simply hold on to the north bank of the Hunshui River and attract the people of the White Lotus Sect to attack, which can not only reduce your own casualties, but also kill and wound as many enemies as possible.
