"Kashuai, although this heavy rain has brought inconvenience to our mobilization, it has also had a huge impact on them. The muddy road will further delay the progress of their people, and the strong winds and heavy rain will also effectively prevent them from crossing the river.
Speed. This should be beneficial to us. Why is Kashuai frowning?" Yelu Minghuang said very puzzled.
"It's not that we didn't expect that they would take the opportunity to break out, but we didn't expect that they would be in such a situation when they broke through. Such heavy rain greatly reduced our visibility, which caused a huge loophole in our army's plan to encircle and annihilate them.
More importantly, the muddy roads and pouring rain have greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of our two hundred thousand cavalry. Without their support, the battle between us and the enemy will inevitably reach a stalemate. And during this period, it will inevitably
It will add many unpredictable variables." Cassimbas shook his head and said.
"Is it really God's will?" Yelu Canghai said with a frown.
"I have never believed in God's will! I have only believed in the soldiers under my command and the weapons in our hands!" Kasimbas said coldly: "I have ordered Hekimul to lead all the cavalry.
, within half an hour, destroy the two pontoon bridges at Hukou Ferry at all costs. Remember, you only destroy two of them, not all!"
"Kashuai has great eyesight!" Hearing Kasimbas's decisive words, Jin Meiliu praised with a smile.
"Yes, as long as they can hold off their large army at the ferry, they will definitely be defeated until dawn." Yelu Canghai nodded and said.
Following Cassimbas's order, Hekimur immediately assembled all his cavalry. In order to increase his attack power, Cassimbas even transferred some of the Mandan cavalry to join his team.
Among them, the cavalry under Hekimur had been resting on both sides of the ferry for a long time. However, due to Cassimbas's strict order, only the infantry led by Yelu Chixian had been attacking the ferry. His mission
They were only responsible for monitoring the situation at the ferry, and recuperating their efforts to deliver a fatal blow to the people when Haotian led them back. However, due to the sudden heavy rain, their mission had to be advanced.
Bian Zhongxing on the east bank of Hukou is undoubtedly an extremely excellent defensive general. Although his opponent did not attack with all his strength due to other purposes, he was able to maintain the integrity of the defense line during the siege of a hundred thousand troops, and with ten thousand troops
Killing 30,000 enemies at a cost is indeed something to be proud of.
In the pouring rain, Bian Zhongxing's face was as pale as ever. Like all the soldiers around him, he did not have any shelter from the rain, and his whole body was soaked by the rain. His empty left arm sleeve was also soaked due to the rain.
The reason clung to his body feebly. However, there was no trace of fear on Bian Zhongxing's face. His thin figure was like a sculpture, standing motionless in the wind and rain. In front of him, he had been fighting hard for a day.
There are 40,000 soldiers, and behind him are four pontoon bridges that have been completed.
Thanks to the full support of Chu Xiangcheng and Luo Xiang, the four pontoon bridges were completed before the heavy rain came. Because of this, the combat supplies needed by Bian Chongxing could be continuously transported to the east coast. The war was not particularly urgent.
At that time, Bian Zhongxing even let his soldiers eat some dry food in rotation. Under his excellent command ability, the Hetao side had formed a relatively stable semi-circular defensive position on the east bank of the ferry. And here on the pontoon bridge
On the side were Tianyi Xuanji, Luo Xiang, and almost all the senior officials in Hetao, as well as more than 100,000 people in Hetao who came to help.
"Military advisor, do you think my lord and the others can successfully break through?" Under the simple wooden shed, Tianyi with a big belly asked worriedly. Tianyi is now eight months pregnant, and it is already very inconvenient to walk.
.However, as the mistress of millions of people in Hetao, she still came to the front line in person without hesitation. And beside her were thousands of students from Xuanyuan Military Academy.
"Such a God-given opportunity is the perfect time to break out of the siege. My lord is a genius, and the bloody general and others are also talented and intelligent. It is not difficult to break out of the siege." Xuanji said with certainty: "It's just that my lord is kind-hearted, and in order to protect the people from crossing the river,
, he will definitely persist until the end."
The mystery behind the words was not revealed, but everyone understood what he meant. It would take at least a day and night for four million people to cross the river. And in order to cover their crossing, given Haotian's temperament, anyone would
He cannot be allowed to cross the river early. No one can predict the price he will pay by then.
"Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that the master is too soft-hearted." Luo Xiang sighed and said.
Xuanji and Chu Xiangcheng both raised their eyebrows. They clearly understood what Luo Xiang meant. Now that the heavy rain was pouring, the visibility of the army was extremely low. If Haotian could be ruthless, he would only need to drive away hundreds of thousands of people.
The surname is clearing the way in front. In the darkness, without knowing the situation, the aliens outside the Great Wall will definitely fall into the trap. It is not difficult for the army to break through to Hukou Ferry, but with Haotian's character, this is completely impossible. And
Luo Xiang obviously understood this, so he just said it.
"As the prefect of Hetao, you should shoulder the responsibilities of the prefect." Tianyi said lightly, then turned to Chu Xiangcheng on the side and asked: "Mr. Chu, the wind and rain are blowing now, if the fellow villagers arrive at the river bank, our
Can large and small ships ensure the safety of their retreat?"
"Mother, please rest assured. Although the wind and waves at the ferry are strong, the boatmen operating the boat are all experienced boatmen selected by me personally. With the addition of General He Huairen of the Jiaolong Legion, mistress can rest assured." Chu Xiangcheng said quickly.
.
"What about the arrangements for the people? Four million people is not a small number. We in Hetao now only have seven million people. Do we have the ability to accommodate them?" Tianyi continued to ask.
"Please rest assured, mistress." Lin Taiyue interjected: "Before this, I have discussed with the prefects of each state. Although there are difficulties, we have made corresponding preparations. However, the follow-up matters still need to be carefully considered.
"
Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. What she was most worried about was that four million people had returned to the Hetao, but there was no way for them to recuperate in the Hetao. Since Lin Taiyue said this, she could rest assured.
At this moment, a firework finally rose on the east bank of the ferry. Even in the night of heavy rain, it was still very conspicuous. Seeing this long-awaited firework, everyone felt happy: Haotian,
Finally came back with a large group of troops.
The heavy rain brought great difficulties to the advancing team, but it was a perfect opportunity for Haotian and his army.
"Send the order, let the cavalry who killed Fengjing and Xingke immediately get rid of the enemy's entanglement, all gather in front of the army, and open the road to the ferry at all costs! Tell Dugu Yuming and let him rush forward with all his strength.
, be sure to rush to the ferry along the channel opened by the cavalry! Tell Zhan Shutang and Chun Jian Shang to firmly protect the flanks of the army. Even if there is only one person left in the whole army, you must hold on for me!
Jiang Chenzhou, you immediately lead my 2,000 personal guards and the 10,000 Honorary Army soldiers directly under your jurisdiction to the front to help Dugu open the way! Victory or failure depends on this, I hope you all can work together!"
Time! What everyone needs is time. What the three Northeastern countries want is to drag each other to death here as much as possible. As long as the heavy rain stops or the weather clears up, then the Hetao army will definitely be defeated. What Haotian hopes is to do everything possible.
Arriving at the Hukou Ferry as early as possible, everyone was drenched under the heavy rain. Even if they soldiers could endure it, the common people could not. As long as they could arrive at the Hukou Ferry, they could meet Bian Zhongxing as soon as possible.
Only with the cooperation of the troops can all forces be mobilized for a decisive battle. For the cavalry, time is even more crucial. Everyone must complete their tasks before the road becomes muddy and difficult to pass. Otherwise, their combat effectiveness will be reduced by then.
Worse than an ordinary soldier.
Although they have been fighting for a long time, the morale of the soldiers in Hetao has not dropped at all. Their fighting spirit is still very strong. Their spirits are also uplifting. The same is true for Dugu Yuming's vanguard, and the same is true for the cavalry who killed three people.
When the three cavalrymen who had killed three people reunited with difficulty in the heavy rain, there was no longer any force in front of them that could really stop them from moving forward. The ones who opened the way were still Xue Kill and Xing Ke, in such a dark and boundless rain.
, the deterrence of Xue Sha is absolutely unparalleled. Wherever Zhenshan goes, all the horses are panicking. This also gives Xue Sha an opportunity to create chaos invisibly. And the letters around him are also roaring.
Continuously, he waved the double-edged battle ax in his hand so airtight that the pitiful screams of alien soldiers kept ringing around him.
In the middle of the Haotian and Bian Zhongxing armies, due to Cassimbas's dispatch, there are now only about 100,000 coalition troops left. In the heavy rain at night, these soldiers cannot see clearly what is in front of them. And the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms
The shortcoming of lack of sufficient tacit understanding was also exposed at this time. Facing the desperate attack of one hundred thousand cavalry, although they were trying their best to resist, on this battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, personal strength was indeed
It was insignificant, but it was wiped out in an instant. With the help of the weather, one hundred thousand cavalry finally opened a passage with all their might. Not far in front of them, the keen-eyed Xue Sha had vaguely seen the faint yellow wave floating on the river bank.
Light. Those were the Kongming lanterns specially prepared by Xuanji. Of course, the number was not very large. However, due to Bian Zhongxing's careful arrangements, Xue Sha was able to accurately figure out the location of the ferry.
Behind Xue Sha was Dugu Yuming and Jiang Chenzhou's Honorary Army who came to help. Although Xue Sha had already carved a way out, the soldiers of the three Northeastern countries were also particularly tenacious. Under the command of Cassimbas, they
After the bloody cavalry killed them, they filled up the passage like a tide. Fortunately, their organization was extremely chaotic. Although there were many people, they were unable to form an effective combat effectiveness.
"Push forward and never stop!" This was Haotian's fatal order to Dugu and Jiang Chenzhou. In such an environment, the only way to prevent his army from being in chaos is to let the entire army
They all maintain a unified pace. They rely on the inertia of their own team to ensure the integrity of the team. If the soldiers in front stop, the team behind will inevitably cause some chaos under unknown circumstances. Therefore, they cannot stop.
, unless they have died in battle.
The boundless darkness and torrential rain made it difficult for soldiers on both sides to distinguish who was around them. Under such circumstances, other than enlarging their eyes as much as possible, they could only gamble on their luck.
It is not a tragic thing to die under the sword of the enemy. I am afraid of dying under the sword of my own people. Fortunately, the accents of both sides are different. Although there are some accidental injuries, it does not cause general confusion.
.
However, no matter how outstanding Haotian's army performed, the key to the battle was Bian Zhongxing, who was guarding the Hukou Ferry. If the ferry was lost, even if Haotian's army could rush to the river, they would still be unable to escape.
The fate of being annihilated. At this time, Bian Zhongxing's situation was indeed extremely urgent.
After a whole day of fighting, Bian Zhongxing only had a little more than 30,000 soldiers left in his hands. Since he had to defend an area two miles long and one mile wide on the east bank of the ferry, the number of soldiers in his hands was seriously lacking. And he had
His opponent, Yelu Chixian, was also a battle-hardened veteran. Although he followed orders carefully, he still used various opportunities to cause a lot of trouble to Bian Zhongxing. Fortunately, the sudden heavy rain allowed his offensive to be eased. Only then
This alleviates the deadlock that Bian Chongxing is currently facing.
The heavy rain was still pouring, and the battle was still going on. Bian Zhongxing resolutely arranged dozens of sky lanterns in his hands in his own defense area. Although he would be desperately attacked by the enemy, he could give correct guidance to his friendly forces.
direction. He had a hunch that Haotian's army would not let go of such an opportunity, and they would definitely break out of the siege at this time. And with this weak light, the dragon army above the river also followed He Huairen's order.
They tried their best to provide support to Bian Zhongxing. Although there were constant wind and waves on the river, with their superb boating skills, their medium and long-range attacks were still extremely accurate.
It was at this time that Hekimur's 100,000 cavalry were dispatched. They did not attack the defensive position on the side from the front. In fact, they could not break through from the front at all. After all, the narrow battlefield could not accommodate the charge of the cavalry. The 100,000 cavalry
Under the command of Hekimur, the tactics of outflanking were adopted. Along the east bank of the river, raids were carried out from one south to one north. Bian Zhongxing had too few soldiers. In order to resist the huge pressure from Yelu Chixian on the front, he
He had to concentrate most of his troops on the frontal defense line. On his flanks, there were only a few soldiers. In a hurry, these soldiers could not stop the opponent's advance. Fortunately, the heavy rain poured down, and the people on the river bank could not stop the enemy's progress.
The mud and sand were extremely soft, and Hekimur's cavalry could not exert its due fighting power at all. The two lieutenants of Bian Zhongxing, who commanded the flanks from the south to the north, Lanuo and Zhu Xigao decisively gave up the first line of defense.
The soldiers retreated to the second line of defense, relying on the well-prepared horse traps and horse-rejecting stakes to firmly block the enemy on the second line of defense.
