Chapter 2104 Luo Luo hides his murderous intent by the bridge
Luo Luo Bridge, early morning, March, Wu Wu, Mao Shi.
A thin morning mist spreads quietly over the Jiuxiang River, spreading on both sides of the river, shrouding the lush mountains, forests, and flowing water in this layer of mist. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the river is about ten miles in radius.
There was a sound in the open space on both sides. A wooden bridge about one foot wide stood on the river, spanning the more than 40 meters wide river, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
To the east of the river, on a small hill about a mile away from Luoluo Bridge, four or five riders stood on the hill. Tan Pingzhi and his two nephews, Tan Zhi and Tan Shao, stood side by side with Meng Longfu and Suo Miao.
On the hill, behind them, and in the field below the hill, lay five or six hundred cavalry. To be precise, nearly 300 heavy cavalry with both armor and cavalry, and 300 cavalry carrying halberds and carrying cavalry on their backs.
The longbow archer, with his man and his horse, lay down in the grass, holding their heads and chewing their harnesses. It was so quiet that there was no sound at all. Not even a cough could be heard.
Suo Miao raised his whip, pointed to the other side, and said: "Brother Bottle, I followed your advice last night. After I chased here, I was afraid that there would be an ambush on the other side, so at the fourth watch, all the soldiers in the army dismounted, ate and drank water, and then
I've been waiting here to observe the enemy's situation. Two whole hours have passed and I haven't seen any Chu troops. I'm afraid your worries are really unnecessary."
Tan Shao said dissatisfied: "Old Suo, be careful with the Ten Thousand Years Ship. This bridge is a single-plank bridge and is very dangerous. If an enemy ambushes and cuts off the bridge, it will be dangerous. Don't forget, when you sent slaves
I was in Wuzhuang, and was ambushed on a bridge like this, and almost lost my life. My uncle has experienced that battle, so be careful, what's wrong with that?"
Meng Longfu said coldly: "Ah Shao, I don't mean any disrespect to Brother Ping Ping and Brother Jinu, but this time is different from the battle in Wuzhuang. I also participated in that battle.
Wuzhuang is a ready-made village where troops can ambush, and the enemy has already set up an ambush, waiting there for Brother Jinu to be fooled. In addition, there are internal agents who report Brother Jinu's whereabouts, so the monster thieves can successfully ambush."
"But this time it's different. We chased and killed the fleeing enemy all the way here. Along the way, the Chu army abandoned their armor. We attacked and killed more than a hundred soldiers and scattered soldiers behind the Chu army. The dead don't lie.
The armor and ordnance they wore were not fake. It was more than fifty miles from the main camp on the river to here. Those prisoners also said that they retreated with the main force of the legion because they couldn't run anymore.
The laggards. After all, running from Jiankang City to here and back again, even these elite Jingzhou sergeants cannot bear it."
Tan Zhi said dissatisfiedly: "We were too short on time on the road, and these dozen prisoners almost all agreed. They vomited before they could be executed. Don't you think it's strange?"
Meng Longfu sneered and said: "Who told Brother Jinu to stipulate the order not to torture and kill prisoners? We are short of manpower and can't assign people to take care of them, so we can only release them after listening to their confessions. But everyone said the same thing.
, it must not be a lie. We chased all the way here and watched the bridge all night. Did you see any ambush? "
Tan Pingzhi sighed: "Fenglong, don't you know that sometimes this quietest place is the most dangerous time? The chief generals of the Chu army, Huangfu Fu and Hu Fan, are by no means cowardly and reckless.
Rat, even if you are retreating, do you think it is normal to leave such an important bridge undefended or not demolished?"
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "Brother Pingling, I think you have been tricked by that boy Bao Sizhi. You feel like you are ambushed everywhere. From Jiangcheng to Luoluo Bridge, there are at least three or four woodlands and valleys.
When you arrive at a place, you have to say that you are worried about an ambush. You first send scouts to investigate. As a result, you find seven or eight wounded soldiers who can't run and are resting on the roadside. The soldiers are broken and there is no ambush at all.
?”
"To tell you the truth, I think this Chu army was dragging its feet and was out of touch. Wu Fuzhi at the front was greedy for power and was annihilated by our army. Huangfu Fu and Hu who were behind were carrying baggage and food.
Fan, as soon as he entered the camp, he witnessed the final encirclement and annihilation of Wu Fuzhi's troops. He was frightened and did not know the true strength of our army. He turned around and ran all the way, hoping to meet up with the army dispatched from Jiankang City behind.
"
"This Luoluo Bridge is just like the three or four dangerous areas in front of it that can be used for ambushes. It will definitely be defended in normal times, but when we are escaping, we won't care about it. If we don't take advantage of the situation and occupy this place now, we will wait until Chu
The army reacted and sent a large army to seize it, but it was too late."
"When the time comes, what will we have to do to see Brother Jinu? He gave us all the war horses and pack horses in the army. He and his brothers can only run on two legs. He is not here to let us sleep here.
Great sleep!"
Speaking of this, Meng Longfu's voice was fierce and his beard and hair were spread out. He looked at the silent Tan Pingzhi and said loudly: "Brother Pingzi is a senior and a veteran. There is no problem in using the Wannian Ship carefully, but as the commander of the cavalry, I
, with this cavalry, which has the highest mobility in the whole army, we cannot sit back and watch the fighter planes being lost. It has already passed Mao hour, and everything here is clear. If the Chu army discovers that our strength is weak, we will no longer be able to capture this bridge."
"Lao Suo, in order to dispel the worries in Brother Bottle's heart, let's do this. You lead fifty cavalry and rush across the bridge now. If the enemy really has an ambush, withdraw immediately and do not fight. If the enemy blocks your retreat, you
Just break out directly to the south along the river. Brother Bottle and I will help you! If you run three miles on the other side and don't see the enemy ambush, come back!"
Suo Miao laughed: "It depends on me. Whether the enemy has an ambush or not, you will know once you test it!"
Tan Pingzhi nodded: "This method is good. It should be able to test the enemy's strength. Lao Suo, be careful."
Suo Miao smiled and said: "Don't worry, most of the troops following me are Longyou cavalry from Guanzhong. They can not only fight tough battles, but also run well. If we encounter a tough situation, we can take off our vests while running for our lives."
Yes, if we didn't have this ability, we wouldn't be able to escape Dajin. Even if we really can't come back, at least we can make the main force safe, which is not a loss." He said, riding down the hill, and soon, we were there.
With more than fifty riders, they rushed towards the single-plank bridge on the opposite side.
In the Jiuxiang River, under the reeds on the river bank, four bright eyes looked coldly at the fifty or so horses roaring in from the bridge. Hu Fan, with mud on his face and wearing a full-body water jacket, whispered in a low voice.
He said: "Huangfu, they have crossed the bridge. They seem to be the vanguard. What should I do?"
