Chapter 148 Crossing the River
"If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster!" Pu Hong said to himself, looking at the people and horses on the west bank.
Pu Xiong said: "This army is still above the Gaoli Imperial Guard. Our army has suffered heavy casualties and cannot compete with them!"
If he fights again, Pu Hong's belongings will be completely wiped out.
To the north, Yao Yizhong was riding on a war horse with a solemn look on his face. He felt frightened, as if he hadn't seen the Black Cloud Army all night and had transformed again.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was normal. Yao Yizhong had experienced battles for a long time and knew that a victory would comprehensively improve an army.
There is no doubt that after beheading Liang Du, the morale of the Black Cloud Army has reached its peak.
Yao Yizhong had to think carefully about fighting with such an army.
He is loyal to Shi Hu, but it does not mean that he is loyal to Jie Zhao!
And he also has to consider his own ethnic group and descendants...
Under the tooth comb on the east bank, Shi Bin, Shi Min, Zhang Hedu, Pu Jian, and Yao Xiang looked at the Black Cloud Army with complicated eyes.
A few days ago, this group of people was just a group of bandits, but now, it has become so powerful.
Shi Bin's expression changed one after another. When facing the Gaoli Imperial Guards, he fled without fighting, let alone the current Heiyun Army?
"Welcome King Yan to the city!"
The noise from the other side got louder and louder.
Cold sweat broke out on Shi Bin's forehead. How could this be a respectful greeting? He was clearly here to kill him...
His life as King Yan will still be preserved to enjoy glory and wealth.
The hand holding the horse's rein couldn't help shaking. The horse under his crotch misunderstood and actually started to move forward.
Shi Bin was so frightened that he quickly reined in the reins and said, "Damn beast!"
Pu Jian and Yao Xiang looked over with strange eyes. He was alerted and said displeasedly: "Look at what I am doing? That black cloud thief clearly wants to take the opportunity to hijack me. How can I be fooled?"
"Your Highness is wise!" Yao Xiang flattered him.
Pu Jian's eyes flickered, "The Black Cloud Bandits are part of the begging army. Doesn't Sikong not know that he did this disobedient thing? Could it be..."
"Could it be that Sikong acquiesced?" Zhang Hedu wisely took over the conversation.
The two disastrous defeats in Luozhou made Zhang Hedu and other Jie generals have strong opinions on Li Nong. There were rumors that Liang Du took the name of the general who conquered the east of the Jin Dynasty, and that Li Nong had his homeland in mind, so he deliberately defeated Li Nong.
Of course, everyone knows this is nonsense, but someone must take responsibility for the two disastrous defeats.
No matter how loyal Li Nong is to Jie Zhao or Shi Hu, he is not a true "countryman". If there is a problem, he will definitely be blamed.
As the former commander-in-chief of all military affairs at home and abroad, Li Nong naturally had unshirkable responsibilities.
"Okay, don't spread rumors and cause trouble. The Beggar Army has always been unruly and has many factions. Sikong is only the nominal leader." Shi Bin took the initiative to defend Li Nong.
Zhang Hedu glanced sideways at Shi Min, who was silent, and said, "The rebel army is so arrogant, we should send an army across the river to attack it and weaken its spirit!"
Shi Bin looked at the generals around him. Yao Xiang and Pu Jian all lowered their heads. Only Shi Min stood tall and proud. "Ji Nu is brave and invincible. We can cross the river to attack him and defeat the enemy's spirit."
Shi Min was well aware of such a big pit, "The morale of our army has been reduced. After days of bloody fighting, the soldiers are tired. The morale of the Black Cloud Army is high, but the reality has not yet been determined, so it cannot be attacked!"
It was easy in the past, but not so easy back.
With Shi Bin's support, Zhang Hedu became much more courageous, "I'm afraid even if I don't think about becoming a noble...!"
But Shi Min cast a look, and Zhang Hedu couldn't say the rest of his words, "In my opinion, His Highness is in charge of all the Chinese and foreign military forces. The Black Cloud Army came to greet them. It was just a bluff. They could have taken him by surprise and crossed the river. There are people
The general is here, and I will definitely be able to protect His Highness!"
Shi Bin's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
Looking at the arrogant Black Cloud Army opposite, I felt a hundred reluctances in my heart.
But if we retreat, the plan of removing the firewood from under the cauldron will fail.
"The thieves are rampant. If we cross the river at this time, if things go wrong, it will be impossible to retreat. We will all be captured by the thieves!" Yao Xiang's words entered Shi Bin's heart. Not everyone was as brave as Shi Min...
"When two armies are fighting, how can we be afraid of the head and the tail? You can tell whether the thieves are real or not by crossing the river!" Shi Min snorted coldly.
The problem lies in crossing the river.
At this time Pu Jian said: "Since your highness has doubts, you might as well camp on the spot and call Sikong, General Zhengxi and other generals to come over and wait and see what happens. After a few days, when other armies gather together, the thieves can be captured!"
"Jianye's words are true!" Shi Bin did not dare to cross the river no matter what.
Confrontation becomes the best option.
Hexi.
Li Yue looked at the opposite side. The foreigner was obviously timid, but he refused to leave.
"Why don't you kill me and cross the river!" Wei Shan held up the bone with murderous intent.
Xu Cheng cupped his hands and said: "One burst of momentum will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. The morale of our army is very high, and the Hebei beggar soldiers are all bowing their heads and obeying orders. If we stop here, the two armies will fall into a confrontation, and I am afraid these people will waver."
Li Yue glanced at the soldiers. They were all so excited that they had long forgotten their fatigue.
Shi Bin's troops numbered fifty to sixty thousand, and the twenty thousand troops on the east bank were by no means all of his troops. A large part of them were cleaning the battlefield.
After several days of confrontation, his troops will only gather more and more.
In addition, he had the power to control the internal and external military affairs, and he could also dispatch the armies of Liu Guo, Zhang Yu and others to support him.
And with Li Nong behind him, if anything happens, he will be attacked from both sides.
The situation is changing all the time.
Li Yuelang said in a loud voice: "If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos! Shi Bin thought that someone did not dare to touch him, so today someone just crossed the river!"
If you want to scare others, you must have the determination to fight!
Shi Bin may be tough-tempered but there are definitely people around him who are discerning.
Having reached this point, Li Yue will never retreat.
Since we meet on a narrow road, let's see who is the brave one.
Since Shi Bin won't come or leave, then look for him yourself!
Even now, there is still a last ditch effort. Taking the initiative to attack can often lead to greater initiative.
Crossing the river at this time can still catch the Zhuhu coalition forces by surprise. If the delay continues, the accumulated momentum and prestige will dissipate little by little!
"Generals, listen to the order, Wei Shan leads the vanguard soldiers to cross the river and attack the Chinese army! Xu Cheng leads the Qiang cavalry to cross the river from the upper reaches. The Qiang cavalry must be destroyed in one battle! I will lead the other armies to support from behind!"
"Take the order!" Wei Shan and Xu Cheng were overjoyed.
Suddenly, people all over the mountains and plains shouted loudly: "Welcome King Yan to the city!"
Wei Shan took the lead and rushed into Xushui. The flood season would not come for another month. Xushui was in the dry season. Scouts had already discovered that the deepest point was only chest high.
The forward heavy armorers wore heavy iron armor and did not have to worry about being washed away by the river.
Seven to eight hundred heavily armored soldiers stepped into the river, and the waves splashed as if boiling.
"Welcome King Yan to the city!"
In the dusk, the roar became louder and louder, earth-shattering.
Behind Bo Wu, Chen Duan lit a fire, and the black smoke billowed, seeming to drown the dusk on the horizon.
And this fire further fueled the momentum of the Black Cloud Army.
The sound of drums, trumpets, war horses, and the neighing of donkeys and mules mixed together to create a powerful sound.
Amidst the shouts that filled the sky, the Qiang and Di people on the left and right were all motionless and guarding their formation. However, Shi Bin's Jie people's central army moved.
Instead of going down the river to stop the attack, we retreated step by step...
"Welcome King Yan!" The murderous voice became even more ferocious in the dusk...
Li Yue saw the opponent's position move and saw a rare opportunity. He raised his arms and shouted, "Cross the river!"
The black cloud army and the beggar army behind them went into the water one after another.
It's going to be night soon, perfect for a melee.
However, at this moment, the Chinese army in Hedong began to retreat slowly...
Chapter completed!
