"Quick! Quickly transfer the cavalry, I estimate that Duoduo is going to break his tail to survive this time, as long as he is willing to sacrifice some men and horses, it is not difficult to cross the river, once he is allowed to cross the river, Liu Meng is mostly infantry, and if he can't catch up with him, quickly transfer the cavalry! ”

The words of the red lady made Qin Mu startled.

Yes, under normal circumstances, the other bank is guarded by the Qin army, and it is difficult for Duoduo to cross the river by bridge, but it is still possible to cross the river quickly by breaking the tail to survive and sacrificing some people.

The Qin army had few troops to the west of the Xiang River and east of the Lai'an River, but most of them were cavalry, and the south of the Chuhe River had the most troops, but the least cavalry.

Duoduo can't cross the river, once he successfully crosses the Chu River, no matter how many infantry Liu Meng has, it's in vain, Duoduo can fight if he wants to, and leave if he doesn't want to fight, Liu Meng has no ability to pursue at all. This is also the reason why the Red Lady is anxious to let Qin Mu transfer cavalry to assist in the defense of the south.

But where did the cavalry come from?

There is no way to adjust at all, Su Jin fought for a day, running back and forth, it would be good to be able to rush back in time to block the east bank of the Lai'an River, the soldiers are not iron, even if the soldiers can grit their teeth and insist, the war horses will be tired to death.

On the west bank of the Xiang River, they mainly relied on Li Jiu and their six or seven thousand cavalry to block and transfer Li Jiu to the south.

No, now the cavalry that can be mobilized in time is used up.

Since the Eastern Crusade, the Qin army has captured a large number of war horses, but the cavalry needs long-term training to form, and having war horses does not mean that there are cavalry, and at present, the Qin State has only 50,000 cavalry in total, of which 40,000 are still defected by the Guanning army and the Dashun army.

First, it is out of the needs of war. Second, in order to prevent trouble before it happens, the 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry attached by the Guanning Army and the Dashun Army were scattered in Xiangyang, Luzhou, Huoshan, Taizhou, Huai'an and other places after reorganization.

The red lady flicked her whip. He said anxiously: "I can't wait, you give me the 4,000 cavalry in the city, and I will find a way to cross the Xiang River from the west and then go south." ”

Yes, there were still 4,000 cavalry in Chuzhou City, Qin Mu brought 2,000 when he came, and Su Jin left another 2,000 when he came. At present, the only cavalry that can be mobilized is the 4,000 cavalry in the city.

"Ying'er, you can't be in a hurry, the more urgent it is now, the more chaotic it is." Qin Mu's overloaded brain was about to explode. He turned around the room twice with his hands in his hands, calming down his anxious mood a little, and the red lady chased him back and forth, holding back the strong impulse in his heart and not opening his mouth to urge.

Qin Mu suddenly walked to the wall. He took off the giant sword and said, "Ying'er." Crossing the Xianghe River from the west to the south, I'm afraid it's too late, and now I have to fight with Duoduo. ”

"Are you going to go out of the city and fight with the Tartars? We only have 4,000 people, and Duoduo has 20,000 or 30,000, how can we fight? No, this can't work, in order to survive, the Tartars are still fighting. Our 4,000 men are definitely no match for his 30,000-strong army. ”

"I know that of course we can't fight with 30,000 Tartars. But you can fight hard with 10,000 or thousands of Tartars, and if you can't wipe out Duoduo completely, it's good to be able to bite off a piece of his flesh. ”

"Fight with 10,000 or thousands of Tartars? How will people do what you want? No, what are you going to do? You can't go, you can't go! It's too dangerous, just let me go, you can't go"

The red lady suddenly noticed that Qin Mu had taken down the giant sword, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly went up to snatch it, she had always been a strong woman, but at this moment she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Qin Mu held her hand and said, "Ying'er, how can I put you in danger alone?" I, Qin Mu, may not be a hero who stands up to the sky, but I will definitely not hide behind my own woman and let you face the danger alone, Ying'er"

"No, you are the lord of a country, Daqin can do without me, but you can't do without you, you can't go!"

"Ying'er, remember when I told you that we were going to fight to Yanran Mountain together? Let's go together, live together, die together, and don't leave anyone behind. Alright, let's go. ”

The red lady tugged on his arm tightly, and two tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, slipping from her heroic face in the past, and then, she stubbornly raised her head to prevent the tears from falling down

"Ying'er, don't cry, let's go, let's let the enemy cry."

"Well, can you promise me one more time, let's fight to Yanran Mountain together, before that, you can't make any mistakes, no, absolutely not"

"I promise!"

The two of them were dressed in a clouded leopard, and the other was wearing a red cloak, one red and one black, and walked out quickly.

***

On the south bank of the Chu River, Liu Meng's big tent was brightly lit.

Liu Meng's face was bearded, like Zhang Fei's reincarnation, his eyes swept majestically towards the generals under the tent, and he said in a loud voice: "There is news from Chuzhou that the Duoduo army is coming to our south, whether we can trap twenty or thirty thousand Tartars to death, it depends on us now." The king of Qin took himself into danger as bait, so as to win this fighter plane to annihilate the enemy, if anyone slackened and let the enemy escape, Hugh blamed the ruthlessness of the military law of the commander. Now, immediately strengthen the river defense, the commander wants to take five steps and one post along the Chuhe River, and one post in ten steps, and never give the Tartars a chance to take advantage of it. ”

"Whoa!"

Hao Shaoqi and other generals hugged their fists in response, the iron armor was sonorous, and after the fish came out of the tent, they jumped on the war horses and galloped away.

The night on the field is as dark as ink, the north wind is howling, blowing on the face like a knife, galloping feathers, pieces of torches, like thunderous hooves, human voices echo, war horses neighing, the south bank of the Chuhe River soon boiled.

On the surface of the river twenty or thirty miles wide, there are Qin soldiers patrolling the river everywhere, which can really be described as five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry.

Tongbai Village, here is the easternmost camp of the Qin army, stationed 10,000 troops, after getting the strict order of Liu Meng, the governor of the Chinese army, the main general Wu Ruyi not only on the embankment of the strict defense, the camp around twenty miles, but also scattered with police posts.

Wu Ruyi was originally an important general of the Great Shun Army, and after returning to the Great Qin, he was actually more important than Li Guo and others, and he also fought side by side with Qin Mu at night under the city of Anqing, and he had thoroughly integrated into the Qin army group, so he carried out the order and was very responsible.

Xia Chengde's 2,000 men and horses sneaked up from the southeast, and they were still more than ten miles away from the camp, when they were discovered by Wu Ruyi's reconnaissance cavalry, and when the alarm came, Wu Ruyi immediately sent 5,000 men and horses to meet them.

Under the leadership of the deputy general Li Ting, the torches were lit like a sea, and the people roared and killed Xia Chengde. Seven or eight miles southeast of the camp, the two armies met, the bloody battle began, in the night, in the cold wind, the sword was bright, and the sound of killing was like a tide

At the moment of the bloody battle between the two armies, in the dark night on the north bank of the Chu River, a round of arrow rain suddenly roared, knocking down several Qin troops patrolling on the south bank.

When the nearby Qin army discovered the enemy's situation, they immediately sounded gongs and drums to warn them, and the sound of Bangbang's gongs stirred up the night restlessly.

The Qing general on the north bank, Mel Zhangjinglodean, then shouted: "Cross the river quickly, quickly!" ”

In the bleak night, a thousand Tartars poured out of the darkness in batches, and without the help of anything, they whipped their horses and rushed into the river, and then crossed the river with their horses around their necks, and the river seemed to boil in an instant.

The river water is cold and biting, the war horses that rushed into the water neighed constantly, many Tartars were so cold that they couldn't help but scream, the Qin army who came from the south bank kept shooting and firing arrows into the river, and the bullets and arrows were shot into the water, and there were bursts of screams in the river, and clusters of blood surged up to the water, many Tartars were shot to death, and their bodies were washed away by the river and disappeared into the dark river.

Luo De'an on the north bank roared, two or three hundred Tartars pressed to the river, and continued to fire volleys on the south bank, and a rain of arrows crossed the river more than ten zhang wide, shooting the Qin army on the opposite bank to the ground.

Nearly a thousand Tartars are fluttering in the Chuhe River, the water is splashing, the people are roaring and the horses are neighing, at this moment they have no power to fight back, more and more Qin troops on the south bank have arrived, the figures are building, the guns and arrows are getting denser and denser, and the Chuhe River, which is less than twenty wide, has become a nightmare for the Tartars.

"Quick! Come on! Lodean kept roaring and roaring, looking at the firelight, one by one his men were shot to death in the cold river, the helplessness and despair made his heart feel like a boulder, and he couldn't help but want to roar, want to roar.

The Chuhe River is less than 20 zhang wide, located in the plain, the water flow is not urgent, before the Qin army brigade arrived, there were still half of the Tartars holding the horse's neck, successfully crossed to the south bank.

After soaking in the icy river water for a long time, they were drenched in water, and were blown by the cold wind, many people were so cold that their hands and feet were numb, but in order to survive, they still rushed ashore desperately and tore apart with the Qin army on the shore.
