Chapter 345: Crossing the River to Increase the Confusion of the Enemy
Huang Zhong heard what the scout said and sighed! , "What a Pang Lingming." When the ancient power-off city network,. Go. He also defended the city with suspicious soldiers, so that he thought that you had not abandoned the city and left, so that you could immediately cross the Weishui West in one night. I'm afraid that the next step is to take the remnants of the horse to cross the river, and then break through the defense line of Wuzhang Yuan to the west Speaking of this, Huang Zhong suddenly thought of something, and muttered: "In this way, isn't the lord's water plan unable to deal with Pang De?" ”
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong immediately shouted: "Get a pen and paper." Then he wrote on the paper with a "brush", and then sealed it with wax pills, and ordered his henchman to send the letter to Zhang Xiu as quickly as possible. After doing this, Huang Zhong ordered: "The army is marching west along the Wei River. Don't cross the river first. At the same time, he ordered and waited to cross the river from time to time to investigate the situation of Pound's headquarters on the other side.
Here, Huang Zhong's junior colonel quickly sent the investigation to Zhang Xiu's hands in the city of Weili, and Zhang Xiu immediately found Fa Zheng and Hua Xiong after receiving the letter, and showed them with a letter, and waited for Fa Zheng to read it. Zhang Xiu said: "Filial piety, now Pang De has confused Hansheng with a suspicious strategy, so that he has time to cross Weishui in the south, so that the water plan is only afraid that it will be difficult." ”
Fa Zheng listened, nodded, and said: "Yes, the water plan is difficult, if the lord's army crosses Weishui in the south, and the army is stationed in Wuzhangyuan, and the decisive battle with Pang De's department, even if it can't annihilate Pang De, it can also kill and injure a large number of soldiers of Pang De's department."
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he frowned and thought: "If my army crosses the river, won't the north of Weishui be empty, and it is difficult to guarantee that Pang De will not cross Weishui north again after receiving the news and break through from the north of Weishui." In history, Mao Taizu crossed the Chishui four times with one hand, and wanted Jiang Gong's troops to turn around
Thinking of this allusion, Zhang Xiu's mind flashed. slapped his thigh and said loudly: "This is exactly what can be calculated."
When Fa Zheng heard this, he was puzzled: "My lord, what will be calculated?"
Zhang Xiu smiled mysteriously and said to Fazheng: "Filial piety and come with your ears." ”
Hua Xiong glanced at Zhang Xiu with resentment, and said, "When did the lord like the Tao of the strategist." Seeing Zhang Xiu whispering in Fazheng's ear, Fazheng's face was sometimes happy, sometimes frowning. Hua Xiong was itching for a while, wanting to know what Zhang Xiu was talking about.
After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Fa Zheng frowned and said, "Is the lord really ready to do this?" ”
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "If this plan is successful." Only the last Ma Teng remained
Fa Zheng nodded helplessly and said, "Since the lord has made up his mind, he is receiving his order."
Zhang Xiu smiled and ordered, "Huaxiong." Fa Zheng ordered the two of you to lead the army and cross Weishui to the south. Merge with the army of Ziyi. This time the river crossing. Everything is commanded by filial piety, Huaxiong, you can help from the side. Hua Xiong was full of doubts when he heard this, but when he saw the smug smile on Zhang Xiu's face, Hua Xiong knew that Zhang Xiu must have other arrangements, so he and Fa Zheng went out together to respond: "After the promise, he withdrew to reorganize the army."
Zhang Xiu asked Feng Xi to summon him and instructed him: "Xiu Yuan, you and an are waiting for you, disguise yourself as a common person, and go to the nearby county town to spread the news that our army is collecting the people's boats and preparing to cross the river."
Feng Xi heard it and took the order away. Zhang Xiu wrote two more letters, ordering them to be sent to Jia Xu, who was storing water in Shangbang, and Huang Zhong, who was chasing after Pang De's department. After arranging these, Zhang Xiu removed most of the soldiers stationed in Fengli City and prevented them from going to the city, while he himself led Zhang Nan to patrol the city every day.
And said here, Ma remnants of the army several times to cross the Weishui in the south, were blocked by Tai Shici, seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, Ma reluctantly led the army into a small county town, which was originally governed by Ma Teng, and there was no talk of attacking, after entering the county seat, Ma immediately asked the soldiers to empty the granary in the city, and at the same time ordered Ma Xiu to lead the soldiers to collect the surplus grain in the hands of the people. Now it is the autumn harvest season, and the people have a lot of surplus grain in their hands, but in fact, there are many fertile fields outside the city that have been stabilized, and the horses feel troublesome, so they do not let the soldiers harvest, but directly collect from the people.
Ma Zheng was thinking carefully about the future situation in the hall of the county office, Ma had already received a letter sent by Pound, and learned that Pound had successfully crossed Weishui, so Ma was ready to collect a little more grain and grass near this county, and then cooperate with Pound's army to cross Weishui in the south, and then retreat westward.
While the horse was thinking, there was a "pedal, pedal, pedal." The sound of footsteps, the horse looked up. Seeing Matthew's panicked expression, he rushed in. hurriedly shouted: "Brother Hugh, what's the matter?" ”
Matthew said, "Big brother, something is wrong,"
Before he finished speaking, Ma suddenly shouted, "Shut up."
Ma has a very high status in the minds of Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Yunlu, comparable to Ma Teng, and when he heard Ma suddenly shouting, Ma Xiu shrugged and stopped talking and didn't dare to speak. Ma swept his eyes left and right, and said, "You guys first retreat, there is a warning in your eyes."
The guards naturally knew that the horse was not such a good person, and knew the warning in the horse's eyes, so they retreated resignedly.
After all the soldiers withdrew, Ma Cai frowned and said: "Brother Hugh, you are now a general in the army, how can you be so unstable in case of trouble, after Ma Xiu said a pass, Ma Cai asked: "Brother Hugh." What happened to you? ”
Ma Xiu calmed down and said, "Big brother, just now Hugh collects grain and grass from the people. Hearing rumors, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to collect ships. It should be that he wants the army to cross the river and intercept Ling Ming's big brother on the south bank of Weishui. ”
Ma was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Hugh, let the scout go to find out the news." As soon as you get the exact news, you will immediately inform Brother and Lingming
Here, Ma Xiu personally led the scouts to the coast of Weishui to investigate, and sure enough, the Huaxiong army was collecting the people's boats, and the Huaxiong camp was seen on the north bank of Weishui from a distance. Large and small boats were parked along the Weishui River, and there was no smoke rising from the large camp, and the guards outside the camp were full of guards, and many soldiers were seen patrolling.
An experienced scout said to Matthew: "General, looking at the thick smoke of this cooking, the enemy camp should have more than 40,000 troops. ”
Hearing what the scout said, Matthew whispered, "There are more than 40,000 troops? Doesn't it mean that almost all of Zhang Xiu's army are here. Forty thousand troops were to cross the river. No wonder Zhang Xiu has to collect so many ships
After finishing speaking, Ma Xiu pointed to the scout who had just spoken and said: "You immediately find a secluded place to cross the river, inform Ling Ming of this and then order a few more scouts, and say: "You stay here, continue to inquire about the news, and once Zhang Xiu's army crosses the river, come back immediately to report."
Several scouts responded and left, while Matthew led a few guards and went back to report to Ma first. At the second watch of the night, the scout came to report to Ma Yu: It was said that the book was mixed and the umbrella was dry
In the second training, the army of Huaxiong's department began to cross the river, and almost all of the Weishui Hubu boats carried the enemy to cross the river. ”
Ma Wang waved back the scouts, and Ma Xiu said: "Big brother, Zhang Xiu's army is on the south bank, and it has cut off the way back for our army, what can I do?" ”
Compared with Ma Xiu's restlessness, Ma smiled calmly: "Since they are intercepting on the south bank, we will go from the north bank." ”
When Matthew heard this, he said curiously: "North Shore? But Brother Ling Ming, they,"
Before he finished speaking, Ma smiled slightly and said, "Let Ling Ming and them cross the Weishui again and return to the north shore, because my brother has already sent scouts to find out." Zhang Xiu did not have many troops left on the city, and after Ling Ming crossed the river, we would break through the city. took the grain and grass in it as a supply, and then led the army west. ”
Ma Xiu heard it and said happily: "Big brother is really powerful." In this way, Zhang Xiu lost the support of Fengli City's grain and grass. After we return to Liangzhou, we can calmly deploy defenses. ”
The horse listens. He smiled and nodded. Here Pound led the army westward all the way, and along the way he kept receiving news from the horses. I saw Pang De beckon the scout captain and asked, "Where is Huang Zhong's old children's department now?" ”
The scout captain replied: "Back to the general, Huang Zhong's department was confused by the general's arrangement, thinking that the general led the army back to attack Chang'an, so he turned back to the east. ”
Pound heard this, and sneered: "Huang Zhong'er is no different. He said to a colonel next to him: "Pass the order, the army will march forward, and after nightfall must arrive at the intended place." The young master was there to meet our army across the river. ”
Although the little school wondered why he had to cross the river again, he still took the order. Pang De looked at the west, smiled coldly, and said secretly: "Zhang Xiu, my army will cross the water again, and I think your arrangement on the south bank is in vain." Thinking about it, Pound immediately urged the army to move forward.
The army rushed to the predetermined place before nightfall, and Ma Dajun had been waiting early on the opposite bank, and when he saw Pang De's army, Ma immediately sent someone to place the trees that had been cut down before on the river, and sent soldiers who knew the water to tie up the trees. Tied into a pontoon. On the other hand, Pound also asked the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, using the same trees they had used when they crossed the Weishui River in the south. After using it that day, Pound only had some of them discarded by the soldiers. Most of the rest of the trees were tied to the horse's tail with ropes, allowing the horses to carry forward.
The two sides were built together, and in just over an hour, the pontoon bridge was built, and Pound saw it and was in a good mood. At the sound of the order, he ordered the army to cross the river. The pontoon bridge is not wide, only two or three people can cross side by side, so in order to speed up the crossing time, Pound not only let the soldiers take the pontoon bridge, but also let some soldiers hold the extra tree trunks and tread water to cross the river. All of a sudden, the Weishui was very lively, and the voices of people and the neighing of war horses came and went.
Pound was the first to rush across the pontoon bridge as fast as possible, and when the horse saw Pound coming, he said to Matthew: "Brother Hugh, go and command the army to cross the river." ”
Matthew knew that Ma had the heart to give him experience. Then he answered and took the order. After Matthew went. Pound asked, "Young master, what should we do after our army crosses the river?" ”
Ma said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu's army is on the south bank of Weishui, now Zhuli City is empty, after our army crosses the river, first attack the city, seize the grain and grass in the city for supplies, and go to the uncle should also be locked up by Zhang Xiu in the city, take this opportunity to rescue the uncle, there is no Zhang Xiu's army on the north bank, we can calmly return to Liangzhou later." ”
After hearing this, Pound smiled and nodded, obviously convinced by the horse's plan. While they were talking, the Scout Captain approached them. said: "Report to the general, there is a wounded soldier in front of the last general, wearing our army uniform. He said that he was the seventh batch of messengers sent by Chen Cang. After breaking through the blockade of Zhang Xiu's army with great difficulty, he now has an urgent matter to see the general. ”
After hearing this, Pound frowned, and the horse had already started to say, "Bring it." ”
A few moments later, a scarred soldier with dark red armor was brought to the horse. The soldier obviously recognized the horse, and regardless of his injuries, he hurriedly said: "General, the enemy general Zhao Yun sent troops from Hanzhong to capture Sanguan. The army has surrounded Chen Cang, and the villain is the seventh batch of messengers sent by Lord Chen Cang, which is the letter of Lord Cheng Shou. Please take a look at the general. After speaking, he took out a bloodstained dark red cloth from his bosom and handed it to the horse.
After seeing that Ma took the cloth, the soldier fell to the ground with a "bang", and the scout captain hurriedly stepped forward to check for a while, and then reported to Ma: "General, he is dead." ”
The horse's hand grasped the cloth tightly, and he opened it with a solemn expression, and when he looked closely, Pound also leaned his head forward, and what he said was similar to what the soldier had said. After the two of them finished reading. They all frowned, and suddenly Pound exclaimed, "Not good! Hit the mark! ”
Pound's voice fell, as if confirming what he said, only to hear the sound of "rumbling" from the upper reaches of Weishui, and everyone looked for prestige, under the moonlight. I saw a white line approaching.
Most of the soldiers were at a loss, especially the soldiers on the Weishui and the pontoon bridge, and their faces were confused.
Pound's face changed, he grabbed the horse and ran away, intending to stay away from the bank of the Weishui River, and at the same time said: "The young master is dangerous, run." ”
The horse was pulled vigorously by Pound before he came to his senses, and said as he ran: "Not good! Hugh brother! After that, I wanted to run back.
Pound grabbed the horse hard and shouted, "Young master." It's too late. ”
At this time, many soldiers had already reacted. Shouted: "Not good! The big water is coming, "The big water is coming!" The soldiers on both sides of the strait scattered and avoided, and the soldiers on the pontoon bridge and in the Weishui were even more panicked, some of the soldiers ran back, some of the soldiers ran forward, and there was chaos on the pontoon bridge, so that most of the soldiers on the entire pontoon bridge could not get out.
The soldiers kept pushing and colliding, and many people fell off the pontoon bridge because of this, and they didn't know the nature of the water, so they could only struggle and shout. It's just that their struggles and cries are in vain, and the next moment, the water that is more than a foot high has already surged.
"Boom
"Click... Click..."
"Ah, I don't know how to swim,"
"Choose..."
The flood came, and the pontoon bridge was disconnected and destroyed. Broken into wooden blocks, the soldiers and horses on the pontoon bridge were immediately washed into the river. Because Pound chose to cross the river, this channel is relatively narrow. The surging river hit the shore and immediately shot up, surging to the shore, and the soldiers and horses on the bank were also swept into the river, and for a moment Pound's troops suffered heavy losses.
