Chapter 471: Evacuation of the Beam (5)
Early the next morning, all the families of the soldiers boarded the ship, and a certain number of soldiers were arranged on each ship to maintain order on the ship, and at the same time, when the Qin army attacked, they could resist for a while.
At this time, there were still more than 20,000 Wei troops and all the soldiers of the Dai Army, and although the Fan Yong Army broke out, there were still seventy or eighty war horses left in the city, including the plateau's beloved horse Chilong. And this is that there are still 32 large warships and 57 medium warships without carrying residents, and can almost accommodate more than 12,000 soldiers. The rest of the soldiers were all on rafts, which were basically able to fit.
Gao Yuan boarded the ship of Ding Ce, the commander of the naval army, and accompanied him were Ling Feng and Rapid Wind Thirty-six Horsemen, but now there were only twenty-three people left in the Thirty-six Rapid Wind Horsemen, and their war horses were also on board.
After everyone was settled on the boat, Gao Yuan also instructed Ding Ce to start the boat.
So Ding Ce ordered, the warship pulled up the sails, the oars rocked in unison, the warship sailed away from Daliang City, and the boat took the lead and drove in the direction of the river. And other ships followed, in turn. The ships carrying the families sailed in the middle, and the warships and rafts protected them on the left and right, and the fleet was mighty and stretched out in a long line on the water.
Since all the boats were fully loaded, and some were even slightly overloaded, the speed of the boat was much slower than normal, despite the efforts of all the oarsmen.
At this time, the sky was not yet fully bright, and Gao Yuan stood on the building of the boat, looking out, and there was also some nervousness in his heart, although the Qin army's sailors were much worse than the Dai army, but with a large number of family members in the fleet, if the Qin army launched an attack on the fleet, it would definitely bring heavy casualties to itself.
However, the water surface was calm and quiet, there was not a single Qin army ship or raft, only occasionally some broken wood masts floated on the water, only in the gap of the cofferdam, the Qin soldiers were still busy working. There were some boats and rafts parked here, but no Qin soldiers paid attention to the fleet of boats crossing the water, as if they didn't see it.
Although the Qin army did not intercept the fleet from the water, this did not mean that the fleet was safe, because the Qin army could have arranged trebuchets on both sides of the river to strike at the ships entering the river. Therefore, Takahara also ordered that all warships should be ready and ready for war at any time. And inside the warship, all the bed crossbows have also been opened, and the oil clay pots have also been installed, as long as the trebuchet of the Qin army is found, it will unceremoniously launch a strike.
However, the boats on the plateau first sailed into the river, but found that there were no trebuchets of the Qin army on both sides of the river, and the other boats also entered the river in turn, this time still letting the boats carrying their families in the middle of the river, while the other warships and rafts traveled from the river on both sides.
Gao Yuan looked back from the boat tower and saw that his boat had sailed two or three hundred paces into the river, but it was still calm and quiet, and did not find any blow from the Qin army.
Ling Feng said on the side: "Did we break through like this?" This is too easy, why didn't the Qin army even intercept it at all? β
Ding Ce also said: "Yes, I remember that when I led the fleet here, I was hit by the trebuchet of the Qin army, and some of the ships were smashed, but now I didn't see a trebuchet, so much as if the Qin army let us go." β
When Gao Yuan heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood, and he couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, it seems that the Qin army did let us leave Daliang, if we had known about this, we wouldn't have to go in such a hurry." β
When Ling Feng and Ding Ce heard this, they were also a little puzzled, but Ding Ce's official position was low, and he didn't have much contact with the plateau, so he didn't dare to ask more, while Ling Feng was much more casual in front of the plateau, and immediately asked, "Why did the Qin army let us leave Daliang?" So why did the cofferdam and flood girder be built in the first place? β
Because he figured out the Guan Ji here, Gao Yuan's mood was much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "The goal of the Qin army is only to conquer Daliang, so it is to flood Daliang, if we evacuate from Daliang, then the Qin army can also occupy Daliang without much effort, if you are the Qin army, are you willing to let us leave Daliang, or intercept us halfway and continue to leave us in Daliang?" β
Ling Feng and Ding Ce suddenly realized, and Ding Ce also nodded again and again, and said, "What the lord said is that we are too careful, and it seems that we can send orders to all ships and lift their guard." β
Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with being careful, although it is logically inferred that the Qin army should indeed let us leave Daliang, but the Qin people have always been cunning, and we can't be unguarded, so now the vigilance of all ships must not be lifted, and the order goes down, all ships must move at full speed, only after sailing out of the chasm and entering the Yellow River, can it be regarded as absolute safety." β
When Ding Ce heard this, he immediately said, "Yes." Then he ordered the flag-bearers and waved the flags to the ships.
After the order was given, the oarsmen continued to paddle hard, so that the speed of the boats continued to decrease, and they sailed out of the river one after another, into the chasm. The fleet traveled for more than three hours in one go, and all the way were safe and sound, and did not encounter the interception of the Qin army, until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when it reached the entrance of the Yellow River in the chasm, and at this time there were also 20,000 Qin troops stationed. However, the Qin army also watched the fleet of the Dai army sail out of the mouth of the Yellow River and into the Yellow River.
After entering the Yellow River, the fleet can basically ensure safety, after a few hours of rowing, the oarsmen are also extremely tired, but at this time the fleet also enters the downstream basin, and does not need to row hard, but also can drift down the river, so they can also rest and relax.
Takahara was finally completely relieved, and then he walked down the building and returned to the cabin to rest.
ββββββββ the dividing lineβββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ seeing the last ship sail into the river, Wang Jian was also greatly relieved, it seemed that the defenders had withdrawn, so Wang Jian immediately ordered Xin Sheng to lead the naval army of Qin to attack and attack Daliang City immediately.
At this time, Xin Sheng had already made preparations, so after Wang Jian gave the order, the Qin army's warship raft also broke out of the dock and sailed out of Daliang City. Now the Qin army still has more than 150 ships of various kinds, and there are more than 2,000 rafts, at this time, Xin Sheng moved a hundred warships, 500 wooden pipes, a total of about 20,000 Qin troops, the oars and oars swayed together, and sailed to Daliang City.
Sure enough, at this time, Daliang City was completely an undefended city, after the Qin army's warships approached Daliang City, they set up a siege ladder, and the Qin soldiers stepped on the siege ladder and climbed the city wall very smoothly, without encountering any bottom resistance, and then opened the city gate and enlarged the army into the city.
Although it is now almost all flooded in the city of Daliang, the water is not deep, and most places can wade and walk, although it is autumn now, and the water has become cooler, but for the soldiers, it is not a big problem, so after the soldiers of the Qin army entered the city, they all got off the raft, jumped into the water, and marched into the city. And the boats and rafts also sailed back one after another, taking the second batch of Qin troops into the city.
At this time, the overall situation was finally determined, and Daliang City, which had been blocking in front of the Qin army, was finally broken by the Qin army, and the Wei State could basically be regarded as destroyed, and this battle to destroy Wei, which lasted for nearly two years, could finally be declared over.
Wang Jian looked back at the river again, the boats of the Dai army had gone away, and it seemed that the plateau had also gone away. And in Wang Jian's heart, he suddenly had an idea, would it be a mistake to let the plateau leave like this, because I am afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to trap the plateau like this in the future.
After two years of fighting, Wang Jian can be completely sure that Gao Yuan is definitely a more difficult opponent than Li Mu, although this time in the confrontation of Daliang, the two sides are engaged in an asymmetrical battle, and Gao Yuan's men do not have many available soldiers, just relying on Jiancheng and the Qin army to confront. Most of the methods used are unconventional methods of warfare.
But from the overall operational point of view, the strategy and tactics of the plateau are indeed very clever, in the first aid to Wei, he stuck to Xingkou and blocked the Qin army's water outlet; And the second aid to Wei, Xingkou has been lost, the Qin army water attack on Daliang has become a foregone conclusion, but the plateau has already prepared a water army, the result is that the Qin army has suffered a lot, and it has been in Daliang City for more than five months, so it can also be said that these two aid to Wei, the plateau is planned and moved, and the troops are used in battle, varied, almost no trace can be found, so that the Qin army is unable to defend. He was able to win because of Qin's huge national strength and absolute superiority in military strength, and it can be said that this battle was actually a win.
And when it comes to the next time he fights against the plateau, I am afraid it will not be such a combat mode, because Wang Jian knows that although Daijun is not big, its military strength is not weak, and it is completely okay to dispatch about two or three hundred thousand troops. Therefore, when we encounter the plateau again, I am afraid that it will be a head-to-head battle similar to the battle of Jingcheng.
At that time, the superiority of the Qin State in terms of military strength will also be greatly reduced, and the Su zhì of the Dai Army is not under the Qin Army, and it still has a considerable advantage over the Qin Army in the cavalry army, so when it comes to such a battlefield, what kind of table can the plateau have. And whether he can defeat the plateau, Wang Jian has no bottom in his heart.
When Wang Jian was thinking about it, someone came to report to Wang Jian that it turned out that the Qin army had completely occupied Daliang. Ask Wang Jian to give the order and let the army enter the city. After Wang Jian heard this, he didn't think about it for the time being, and handled the matter in front of him first, so Wang Jian also immediately ordered Li Xin to lead 30,000 Qin troops to use the remaining rafts to enter Daliang City and assist Xin Sheng in controlling the situation in Daliang City. After all, in a city like Daliang, 20,000 troops can't control the situation.
