Chapter 919 Night battle, destroying life!
In the darkness, a line of fire appeared above the roaring Yellow River.
Following the water of the Yellow River, from the upper reaches to the lower reaches, it looks like a long dragon.
Xia Houyuan couldn't help but be surprised by such movement.
Those who were crossing the river, the people on Xia Houyuan's side, and the people on the shore were also panicked at this time.
Someone panicked and fell into the Yellow River.
"Get ashore quickly! Get ashore! Get ashore quickly!!"
Xia Houyuan shouted loudly and asked people to beat the gong.
The piercing sound of the gong sounded very quickly in the night.
It can very well reflect Xia Houyuan's nervous mood at this time.
His face was as gloomy as water.
The sudden scene in front of him immediately made him confused.
And with the shouts from his side, many people seemed to be panicking because of such emergencies upstream.
The people who were crossing the river on sheepskin rafts felt even more panicked.
Sheepskin rafts are inherently very unstable.
There are very high requirements for those who support rafts and those who ride sheepskin rafts.
At this time, everyone panicked, and a lot of things happened all of a sudden.
Many soldiers fell into the Yellow River.
Some people even overturned the entire sheepskin raft.
The entire sheepskin raft fell into the water.
The Yellow River is very fast, and most of these people are from the north.
Although there are some who know how to swim, most of them are landlubbers.
Before taking the sheepskin raft today, it was my first time to cross the river by boat.
If you fall into the water, nothing good will come of it.
They were all swept away by the Yellow River water rolling eastward and swallowed up.
Of course, there were one or two lucky people who caught the sheepskin raft and drifted with the tide.
At this time, the long dragon in the night flowing down the river was getting closer and closer, allowing people to see it clearly.
This is a fleet of boats, floating down the river in the night!
The boat is huge, at least much larger than the sheepskin raft.
There were many people standing on the ships, holding weapons such as swords, guns, and throwing forks.
On the big ship at the head, there was a man who was strong and had some brown beard on his face.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he was tall, and he wore short clothes, revealing his steel-like muscles.
Standing on the warship, he looked at the enemy who was already in turmoil with his eyes like daggers, and gave orders.
"Speed up and hit it!"
As he gave the order, the big ship moved forward at a faster speed.
Even when we were far away, we didn't realize how huge the boat was going down the river.
But when we got really close, those who were paddling in a panic on sheepskin rafts, trying to escape, could clearly feel how huge this boat was going down the river!
Such a big ship, like a ferocious beast, was facing them and crushing them directly!
Some people screamed in panic, and some people abandoned their rafts and jumped into the Yellow River to escape under the strong pressure.
Some did not dare to jump, and even the sheepskin rafts and people were crushed by the huge ship.
When the big ship comes, whether you carry the water by yourself or you are knocked into the water by the big ship going down the river.
According to the water quality of these people, the current environment, and the endless flow of the Yellow River water, the possibility of their survival can be said to be very small.
In the darkness, an extremely panicked shout suddenly rang out.
There were also some sounds of crying for father and mother.
The soldiers and horses under Xiahou Yuan's command are on both sides of the Yellow River.
"Cut the rope and drown these thieves! Let them all feed the fish and shrimp in the Yellow River!"
The general on the big ship gave another order, and someone immediately cut the rope blocking the river.
The current of the Yellow River here is relatively fast, and people on sheepskin rafts basically rely on climbing ropes to move forward.
At this time, as soon as the rope was cut, Xia Houyuan's soldiers and horses in the distance who were still pulling on the rope to escape suddenly became panicked.
Many people fell into the Yellow River because of this and went to feed the fish and shrimp in the Yellow River.
Panic-stricken shouts rang out in the night.
In just a short period of time, the three ropes constructed by Xia Houyuan were all cut.
People who are relatively close to the shore can still climb up the river embankment to save their lives in a short period of time.
But those who are far from the river bank can only hope for their own good.
At the same time, this also meant that Xia Houyuan's escape path was cut off.
Under such circumstances, it was simply impossible for him to return from Hanoi County on the north bank of the Yellow River to Yin, Henan.
Looking at the warship rushing down the river, in an instant, the people on his side who were crossing the river were hit and fell apart.
Xia Houyuan's face was extremely gloomy.
Who would have thought that this time they were fully prepared.
Prepare to capture Hanoi County as quickly as possible.
But in the end, he encountered such a big misfortune just after taking action.
Unexpectedly, the other party's people swam down the river and cut off their escape!
This made Xia Houyuan's heart sink to its lowest point, like falling into an ice cave.
Because he didn't believe it at all, it was a coincidence.
How can there be so many coincidences?
Judging from the behavior of these people, these people are probably premeditated and are here for their own people!
This also means that the strategy that I and others thought was brilliant has been exposed in advance.
The people arranged by Hua Xiong in Hanoi County noticed it.
This is a targeted action!
He came specifically for the people on his side.
"Quickly, come with me! Leave here quickly and head towards Henan Yin!"
After Xia Houyuan was stunned for a while, he gritted his teeth and issued such an order.
He led the people forward quickly, suppressing some panic in his heart, and couldn't bear it, and abandoned them directly. After falling into the water, he desperately called for help to his soldiers.
At this point, he had no other way to go.
All we can do is move forward bravely and head towards Henan Yin.
Their route of retreat had been cut off by the surging Yellow River and the sudden arrival of Hua Xiong's navy.
What he is most worried about now is that the other side will not only send out naval forces, but also soldiers on land.
Chasing and blocking your side!
What seemed like a wise decision by myself and others had actually fallen into the trap of the other party.
And in his opinion, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.
Because the other party is aware of his actions.
Then it would be impossible to just use the navy to cut off the escape route for yourself and others. There would inevitably be other arrangements.
The only thing he can bet on now is that the other party did not anticipate his own actions from the beginning.
But after discovering it later, he hastily mobilized troops and horses to chase and intercept him and others.
In this case, he still has a certain amount of reaction time.
You won't fall into a fatal situation.
