Seeing the pontoon being submerged in the fire, Yang Huaian was not the only one who was dumbfounded.
Even the surrounding Dali soldiers were dumbfounded.
The Sanshibaozhai defense line on the south bank of the Dadu River was carefully laid out by Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, and Gao Fang and others in order to resist the invasion of the Central Plains.
Although they have a good relationship with Meng Shu, no one can guarantee whether they will turn their troops southward when the Northern Expedition is hopeless.
After all, there is a lesson learned from the backstabbing master Sun Shiwan.
As builders, they naturally knew that this line of defense took advantage of the special terrain of the Dadu River and was extremely strong.
They also knew that the biggest flaw in the defense line was the pontoon bridge, so they designed many countermeasures to attack the pontoon bridge, including fire extinguishing methods.
but……
How to put out this fire?
Use water?
The fire burns on the water.
Use sand?
Is it feasible on the land tower, but on the Dadu River?
As soon as you scatter the sand, it will sink directly to the bottom.
There is no way to control the fierce fire oil thing on land, but it is an unsolvable thing on the water.
Yang Huaian was furious, his eyes were bloodshot,
I just feel like the world is spinning and the gap between them is too big.
Bearing the blood feud, Yang Huaian thought about the showdown with the Central Plains more than once in his mind.
I think if Gao Pian was not so short-lived, and if the Gao family had descendants, it would be better.
I can avenge my grandfather, my father, and my clan.
But after a confrontation, I realized that I was a frog in the well and was being teased!
The key is that Yang Huaian still doesn’t know where he lost?
What are the flaws in your response?
Without reason or reason, Yang Huaian watched as the balance of victory tilted towards his opponent little by little.
Just as the fire burned the pontoon, Yang Huaian discovered that the opponent's terrifying earthen jars began to fly toward the Shazhou Shibao Village where they were located.
As the fire arrows entered, a heat wave erupted in Shibaozhai.
"Damn it!"
Yang Huaian screamed, but he had no time to pay attention to him. He shouted: "Quick, cover it with sand and soil, but don't use water."
Fierce fire oil was certainly powerful, but Shibaozhai's defense against fire attacks was in place, and apart from causing chaos, it did not cause many casualties.
Then at this moment, he heard a huge collision in his ears, and there were loud cheers on the water.
Yang Huaian looked towards the river with some uneasiness, but saw that while they were hurriedly extinguishing the fire, at some point, the fire on the river had weakened and dissipated.
Zhongyuan's warships took advantage of this moment to rush near the pontoon bridge, and one of them directly hit the pontoon bridge.
The pontoon bridge had been burned in the fire and was extremely fragile. After this impact, it was immediately broken into two pieces.
The leader was the fierce general who shouted to attract firepower.
After Tian Chongjin broke the pontoon bridge, he ordered his men to maneuver the boat to attack Shibaozhai from behind. He held a large shield in one hand and a golden melon hammer in the other, and jumped onto Shazhou in the river. He wheeled the golden melon hammer in conjunction with the large shield to attack and defend.
, unstoppable, wailing from the starting point, no one of his own soldiers can be his enemy.
With Tian Zhongjin taking the lead, the soldiers who were angry because Shibaozhai insulted Luo Youdu stopped at the shore one after another and followed their generals to attack Shibaozhai.
Yang Huaian was so anxious that his heart was on fire and his whole body was burning.
Thinking of his sworn promise to Marquis Yue, he would rely on the defense lines of the three villages on the Dadu River to hold back the Central Plains bandits on the other side.
Now let alone a day, not even an hour has come. How can I face the Marquis Yue?
Yang Huaian shouted: "Dali warriors who are not afraid of death, follow me and kill them."
No matter how brave Yang Huaian was, the destruction of the pontoon meant that Hejian Shazhou could not get support from the two villages on the banks of the Dadu River.
With no successors, Yang Huaian faced a steady stream of soldiers from the Central Plains, but it was just a fight between trapped beasts.
North bank of Dadu River.
Gao Huaide listened to the sound of killing gradually subsided and issued a new order: "Send the order and attack the two villages on the river bank immediately. Let Chang Side lead his troops to attack the southwest village and Zhang Qiong to attack the southeast village. Jizhong, Jiming, you
Seeing the opportunity, while the opponent is facing the attack of the two armies and horses on the left and right, he forces a landing directly from the middle of the two villages, and then divides the troops into two groups to assist Chang and General Zhang to capture the two villages..."
Yuan Jizhong and Huangfu Jiming, two rising generals, also had a hint of excitement in their eyes and loudly accepted their orders.
Gao Huaide sat high on his horse, looking at the camp opposite, quietly in front of his beautiful man.
This descendant of Changshan White Horse Silver Spear has a profound family background. He has been learning military affairs under the guidance of his grandfather and father since he was a child.
It is different from the situation where most generals in this era relied on wild paths and purely learned their way up through experience.
Gao Huaide belongs to the kind of rich and handsome man who has been systematically trained, experienced hundreds of battles, and has full experience in battle.
With both theory and practical skills, Dali's defense line of three villages on the Dadu River was indeed exquisite.
However, after Gao Huaide combined theory with practice, he immediately discovered the countermeasure of the pontoon bridge, and all tactics were formulated around the pontoon bridge.
Yang Huaian has rich combat experience, but he really can't stand up to a general like Gao Huaide who gets what he wants.
The Shibao Village in Shazhou, Hejian, was lost, and the left and right villages on the river bank were in an embarrassing situation.
They let Chang Side and Zhang Qiong fight with each other, and they could only focus on their own affairs.
The two young generals Yuan Jizhong and Huangfu Jiming were also brave men who were promoted among thousands of soldiers.
Faced with the martial spirit of the Central Plains, they were excited to take on the important task for the first time without any stage fright. They fearlessly rushed to the front to assist Chang Side and Zhang Qiong in capturing the south bank of the Dadu River.
Seeing that the fighting on the other side had stopped, Gao Huaide waved his hand and said: "Line all the warships on the river, use the warships as bridges, and the whole army will cross the river!"
After learning that the Central Plains army had arrived on the north bank of the Dadu River, Gao Fang knew what was coming and came anyway.
He did not want to be an enemy of the Central Plains, but the enemy had already deployed troops on the border, but he had no choice but to fight.
Therefore, he gathered his troops and headed north to Dadu River.
Gao Fang's move had two purposes. One was to show off his military power to the Central Plains, and the other was to make the Central Plains retreat in the face of difficulties with the help of the Dadu River defense line.
As long as you can't afford the war, admit your weakness, and give you some extra coins as tribute, it won't be a big deal.
It was the Duan family of Dali who was embarrassed. What does it have to do with him, the Marquis of Yue?
Gao Fang completely underestimated Luo Youdu's courage, underestimated the strength of the Central Plains' powerful force, and the black technology developed by the Central Plains.
He didn't expect that the Central Plains army had just arrived on the other side and immediately launched an offensive without resting for a moment.
He hurriedly mobilized his troops and horses to go north, working hard all the way to Wunong City in Qiongbu Prefecture.
This Qiongbu Prefecture was called Qiongbu County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty, and was the place where the later Wuman Dumu now lived.
Dumu Man originally lived in a desolate mountain, a place where poisonous snakes and insects were prevalent, dogs did not poop, and birds did not lay eggs.
Gao Fang moved them to Jianchang Mansion, and the environment improved by more than a thousand times.
The moment he settled in Qiongbu County, Du Muman completely abandoned the place where he lived.
He changed the name of his people to Qiongbu River, happily settled in Qiongbu, and affectionately called the place where he lived Qiongbu Prefecture.
"Marquis Yue!"
A middle-aged man with a short stature but extremely thick limbs came to Gao Fang's army with some fear.
His face was pale and his voice was trembling.
Gao Fang squinted at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Ah Fu, why are you panicking?"
The middle-aged man is the chief of Qiongbuchuan, and his name is very simple, Afu.
Gao Fang heard the legend of Afu in his early years. There was a tribe of admiring barbarians living in the swamp where wild beasts did not dare to run rampant.
They are like ghosts, and in the jungle, one of the tribesmen can equal a hundred.
Gao Fang sent people to contact them and persuaded them to move to Jianchang Mansion, hoping to let them help him.
It turns out that this is not the case at all. Chief Afu is timid and afraid of trouble. He hides when encountering trouble and danger. He has no hope at all.
Gao Fang did not go back on his word because of this. Anyway, he moved all the locals in Jianchang Prefecture to Dali and Kunming. Jianchang Prefecture was short of people. Let them fill the local population and increase some taxes for Dali.
He really drove the Dumu barbarians back to the deep mountains and forests. They were willing to pay the taxes, but he didn't dare to send people to collect them.
After more than ten years in a row, Gao Fang unexpectedly discovered that he had underestimated this chief named Afu.
Originally a barbarian tribe with less than a thousand people, in just a dozen years, it absorbed refugees from all over and developed into a tribe of tens of thousands, expanding dozens of times.
The other party did not like fighting, and was still as timid as an old dog, but the taxes and duties taught by the tribe were exactly the same, so Gao Fang let it go.
Afu shouted: "Yue Hou, it's bad, the people from the Central Plains have already crossed the Dadu River, and the three villages along the Dadu River have been conquered by the Central Plains."
"How can it be!"
Gao Fang couldn't help but let out a low voice. He turned over and dismounted, pulled Afu aside and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How strong are the three villages along the river? Yang Huaian is my Dali Hundred Battles General. With him stationed in the three villages,
How could it be lost so easily?"
There was a hint of fear in Afu's words, and he said: "I don't know, the people from the Xuhen Department fled to Qiongbu Prefecture. They said that the people from the Central Plains are scary, they know magic, they can make poisonous smoke, and they can swim on the water.
Light a fire and burn the pontoon bridge. In just an hour, the Central Plains Army captured the Shibao Village in the middle of the river. The two villages by the river did not last long."
Gao Fang's face changed slightly, the situation A Fu said was confusing.
But Gao Fang still heard the key words from it.
Burn the pontoon!
Gao Fang naturally knew that the weak point of the three villages was the pontoon bridge. He thought that the Central Plains troops must have used special means to defeat the pontoon bridge first, and then captured the three villages on the south bank.
In this way, it does make sense.
It's just that the Central Plains army easily found the flaws in the defense line and had a way to break through them.
This strength, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com is indeed a bit scary.
Counselor Dong Yun suddenly said: "They won the third village soon, and they must cross the river next. It is better to send cavalry to attack them while they are crossing the river, and attack them halfway across. They have just won a big victory, so their defenses must be relaxed."
Gao Fang's eyes lit up and he was considering whether this method was feasible.
The scouts exploring the front led more than ten defeated soldiers to the front of the army and brought brand new news.
All the soldiers and horses from the Central Plains have crossed the river.
Dong Yun looked incredulous: "How could it be so fast?"
The defeated soldier said: "The warships from the Central Plains lined up along the river and set up a battleship bridge directly on the Dadu River..."
