Chapter 688 Hebei Fengyun (Part 2)(2/2)

Ji Sheng nodded, "The brothers who died will be buried on the spot first!"

After pausing, he asked again: "How many war horses have you collected?"

"Report to the general, he collected 1,200 war horses, and the rest were injured or dead, and could not be used, but the horse materials brought by the Uighurs could only be supported for three days."

One thousand and two hundred war horses can greatly help refugees. As for the forage, there is no need to worry about it. There is a large area of ​​grass dozens of miles east.

Ji Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Tell the brothers to move more quickly and try to cut more horse meat and take them away! In addition, you take everyone back, and I and thirty brothers will stay."

"General, aren't you leaving?"

Ji Sheng shook his head, "I'm not very relieved. I suddenly thought of a question just now. How did the Uighurs cross the river on the grassland? I think I might have neglected something. You should take your brothers away immediately."

Soon, the cavalry cut off a lot of horse meat and drove more than a thousand war horses to the east. The broken bridge of the Damu Bridge only left Ji Sheng and thirty Tang army scouts.

Although they annihilated two thousand Uighur cavalry, Ji Sheng was not happy at all. He had a bad feeling. The two soldiers he sent to bomb the bridge should have reached the first small bridge, which was only thirty miles away from here, but he had not heard any explosion for a long time. Is there something wrong with the two men?

At this moment, the earth began to shake slightly. Ji Sheng and his men retreated one after another. They looked to the other side of the river at the same time. They were experienced scouts, and they all knew that this kind of vibration was only caused when a large-scale cavalry came.

Sure enough, on the horizon at the twilight, a black line appeared, and with the dust flying, Ji Sheng's face changed a little. This was the main force of 18,000 cavalry. He looked at the remains of the big wooden bridge and became extremely worried.

Shi Siming's cavalry team was getting closer and closer, and began to slow down. The earth no longer trembled, but the cavalry team spread out and could not see the edge at a glance. This momentum made the small floating water insignificant.

Ji Sheng suddenly saw a yellow Luo top cover, with a big "Shi" embroidered on the golden-edged banner behind it. It turned out that Shi Siming personally led his army to come.

But Ji Sheng soon saw another thing that made him desperate. After the other party found that the wooden bridge had been demolished, nearly a thousand people immediately began to cut down trees. Soon they cut down dozens of big trees, tied up two layers of trees, forming a thick raft. Ji Sheng suddenly understood that the other party was making a pontoon bridge, connecting it with a raft, and laying a wooden board, which was a pontoon bridge.

Ji Sheng slapped his forehead hard, why didn't he expect it?

Sweat rolled down his forehead, his back was soaked with sweat, and all his efforts from yesterday to now were in vain.

There was no need for the other party to take a detour and could directly cross the river by boarding a pontoon bridge. Ji Sheng was a little desperate, and the 60,000 refugees would soon become all the lambs of the Uighurs.

The Uighurs were very fast. They had already tied up ten rafts and started connecting them with iron chains. Shi Siming smiled proudly under the banner. These Tang cavalry were too naive and could block his way by demolishing the bridge. For such a small river, they could build a floating bridge in one hour.

But at this moment, a Uighur officer pointed to the West and shouted: "Master, look!"

Shi Siming put his hand on the curtain and looked west, and his face suddenly changed.









Ji Sheng also discovered a change, and a black army appeared in the West, boundless, and the army quickly approached here. Ji Sheng seemed to fall into the fire pit from an ice cave. He guessed that this could only be Tian Chengsi's army.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips. It turned out that not only Shi Siming would not let them go, but even Tian Chengsi didn't want to let them go. They really thought it was simple. How could 60,000 refugees escape easily?

I saw a team of cavalry coming, and the cavalry team that was speeding up was actually two scouts he sent. Ji Sheng was stunned, this.







What's going on?

The cavalry team rushed to them, and a veteran in a golden helmet came out of the team. He stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "You are General Ji!"

"Who are you....."

"Old husband Tian Chengsi!"

Tian Chengsi's sudden appearance shocked Ji Sheng's subordinates all raised crossbow arrows, "Don't do it!"

Ji Sheng stopped them, and he bowed and said, "Shistor Tian is here, what can I do to teach you?"

Tian Chengsi laughed, "General Ji, don't worry, I am here to pick you up on the order of King Zhao."





















The arrival of Tian Chengsi's army reversed the precarious situation. Shi Siming finally did not dare to cross the river. After a stalemate for a long time, the army withdrew from Youzhou. Ji Sheng finally refused Tian Chengsi's invitation to go to Weizhou. Tian Chengsi did not force himself and sent troops to escort the refugees east. Two days later, four hundred large ships that received refugees entered the floating water, successfully received 60,000 refugees, and the large ship returned to Yangzhou.
