An earth wall has been built on the north bank of the Fenshui River, and Jiangzhou soldiers are garrisoned behind the earth wall.
Not far away, there are a series of camps, with flags and flags standing in many places, and horseback riding out in all directions.
On the south bank, the Hezhong Army was slowly moving out.
A sergeant held a large shield in front, covering hundreds of others as they rushed forward.
After several days of fighting, the Hezhong Army nailed a thick wooden stake in a shallow place in the middle of Fen River and connected it to the south bank with an iron chain.
At this time, hundreds of people were carrying sandbags and throwing them next to the iron chain.
Every time a section was filled in, a sergeant cheered loudly. Others were more motivated and had more strength in their hands.
This was Liu Xun's plan, which he learned from Ma Suihuan's old skill in the water battle.
Moreover, relying on his large number of troops, he also went downstream to find a place to build a pontoon bridge to distract the Jiangzhou defenders.
Wang Ke was so convinced by this that he gave up taking personal orders and followed Liu Xun's advice.
However, this also made Tao Jianzhao, Zhang Hanyu and other veteran generals dissatisfied. They were already very unhappy when they asked to be sent to be governors, but now that they were overpowered by an outsider like Liu Xun, they were even more annoyed and almost passively sabotaged their work.
.
To put it bluntly, Wang Ke still doesn’t have enough prestige. If Wang Chongrong were here, would anyone dare to do this?
Arrows kept flying from the other side of the river, and the soldiers filling the river were sometimes killed or injured.
"Damn it, if you don't fill it up, you're driving me to death!" Someone smashed the soil bag on the ground and roared.
"Brothers, don't stop filling. We still have our old parents at home. Who will take care of them if they die in filling the river?" someone responded.
"They, the descendants of the Wang family, are fighting each other. What does it have to do with me?"
"What about the queen? Is there no reward for filling the river? Where is the reward?"
"Money reward! Money reward!"
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out, shooting the person who screamed the loudest to the ground.
Liu Xun galloped forward, waving his sword, and a head with an expression of disbelief flew up.
Behind him, hundreds of Jinyang sergeants fired their bows repeatedly. The sergeants who had just shown signs of mutiny suffered heavy casualties, with almost no one left standing.
There was silence on the battlefield.
Even the archers on the north bank of the river stopped and looked at the south bank inexplicably.
"Those who disobey orders will suffer this fate!" Liu Xun dismounted, raised his head and said.
He has long been angry with these proud and powerful generals.
Sergeant Jinyang was also domineering, but when he went into battle, he didn't do so much nonsense and he was very honest.
How did the Hezhong Army become like this? It seems that there have been signs of this since Wang Chongrong's death, but Wang Chongying didn't care. After his death, he finally couldn't deal with it and turned into the bird-like appearance it is now.
After all, Wang Ke is not a human master. If the king of Longxi County were here, who would dare to cause trouble?
"Continue to fill the river!" Liu Xun ordered: "Hang these heads on the camp gate to warn the troops."
Sergeant Jinyang followed the order, drew his sword and ax, and chopped off the heads one by one.
The sergeant in the river in the distance was silent and motionless.
Anger flashed across Liu Xun's face. Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly shouted: "I'm staying behind!"
Surrounded by hundreds of sergeants, Wang Ke cautiously came to the river. Looking at the blood on the ground and the heads piled randomly, his face turned pale. After a long time, he said: "Today, the sergeant who filled the river, people
Give me two coins."
The soldiers rode out and went to various ministries to issue orders.
After a long time, someone finally moved.
They carried the earth bags, stepped on the almost filled river section, waded forward, and threw the earth bags next to the iron chain.
Not every place needs to be filled in, as long as it allows people to cross the river.
There were dense arrows flying from the opposite side, and they were aimed specifically at Wang Ke.
"Go back!" Wang Ke flipped the horse's head and planned to avoid it.
Liu Xun stepped forward quickly, grabbed Wang Ke's horse bridle, and said: "Please stay here and stand here. I heard that Shao Shude attacked Xingfeng, but the soldiers repeatedly failed. He rode his horse forward and said, 'Stand here.
"Here I sit and wait for the soldiers to defeat the enemy." When an arrow fell beside his horse, he laughed loudly and said, "The bandits are sending me arrows." The soldiers were worried about the safety of their commander, so everyone worked bravely and finally conquered the fortified city. Please stay here at the end of the battle.
The story of Shao Shude later inspired the morale of the troops."
Wang Ke hesitated.
Another dense wave of arrows flew from the opposite side, landing on the cards, the grass, and the flags.
"Quickly leave after you stay here!" General Pei Ling snatched the horse's bridle from Liu Xun's hand and said bitterly: "The son of a rich man will not sit in the hall. Arrows are flying everywhere, causing disasters day and night. Don't you care about yourself if you stay behind?"
After that, he called for everyone to surround Wang Ke and then left. They walked in such a hurry that their flags were even rolled up.
Liu Xun was furious and wanted the Jin soldiers to stop Wang Ke, but finally gave up and was speechless.
Wang Ke was given a good opportunity, but he failed to grasp it.
A coach's prestige is often accumulated through small things.
The Shao thief on the other side of the river shot enemy soldiers from a distance in the Zhelu military city, suppressed the military rebellion in Daibei, and attacked and killed the unruly Yamen general He Gongya in Jinyang. He became famous on the ground in the east of the river. Later, he attacked Huang Chao.
Break the Tuoba Sigong, collect the Helong River, and revive the Yuan Dynasty...
Every amazing thing you do will be sung by the sergeants, gradually deepening your prestige, and ultimately becoming unshakable.
Wherever you go, the generals will bow their heads and dare not have any second thoughts.
Every order you give, the sergeants will obey unconditionally and do it with all their heart.
Even the foreign troops who came to surrender would be frightened by the accumulated intimidation, put away their arrogant and domineering thoughts, and secretly endure and lurk.
After all, Wang Ke is not a tycoon like Shao Shude who rises from the bottom. He does not have the courage.
How can it be without reason that all the armies despise him?
…
Shao Shude arrived at the north bank escorted by three thousand cavalrymen of the Tielin Army.
All the two thousand guards and soldiers dismounted and knelt on the ground.
Shao Shude held the reins of his horse, looked at the sergeant in the river who was filling the river, and said: "In the past, Lieutenant Ma Tai used this move to attack Tian Yue. Wang Ke only got the shape, but not the essence. The way to use troops,
The truth is true. Captain Ma can also send people to build pontoon bridges upstream and downstream. I have all my bodyguards and soldiers, so why stay here? Run out quickly and patrol along the river."
"Yes!" Meng Zhixiang and Murong Fu bowed.
After saying that, he got on his horse, carried the big flag, and divided the two thousand horsemen into several groups and patrolled everywhere.
"Uncle!" After Wang Yao heard that Shao Shude had come to Fenshui in person, he immediately came to meet him.
Wang Yao dismounted and saluted, while Shao Shude just sat on the horse and nodded slightly.
Xu Hao, the commander of the Tielin Army, followed behind, his eyes wandering around Wang Yao's soldiers as if they were real.
"Uncle, my nephew wants to select warriors to go out tonight and destroy the chains of thieves." Wang Yao said in a questioning tone.
"Does my nephew want to stay or fight?" Shao Shude asked.
Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally said fiercely: "Fight! If you don't fight, you will be captured sooner or later. If you fight, you may not die, so why not fight?"
"If we fight, Wang Ke will fill the river for me and save the time of building a pontoon bridge. Why bother?" Shao Shude asked.
Wang Yao was stunned and subconsciously said: "My nephew is not as smart as my uncle, I am impressed."
"The Tielin Army will arrive tomorrow. If the bandits come, we will fight with them. Why should we be afraid?" Shao Shude laughed and said, "The bandit army has a hundred thousand troops, but I can only stop 30,000. How easy will it be to defeat them?"
"The thieves are easy to fight with. If you kill him, your head will be rolling." Xu Hao said loudly.
"Kill him and his head will roll!" All the soldiers of the Tielin Army knew this mantra and shouted one after another.
"Kill him and his head will roll!" Shao Shude laughed, clamped his horse's belly, and three thousand cavalry galloped along the river, with flags and flags standing in a row, and the power was astonishing.
The cavalry army had already crossed the river and found out that there were no Jin troops in the direction of Xizhou. Shao Shude decisively led his army to march westward. The time was ripe for a decisive battle.
The Jiangzhou sergeant in the barrier was also inquiring about the news. After learning that the Tielin Army was coming to help, his morale was greatly boosted.
In the shadow of the famous tree, could it be that such a large territory as Prince Lingwu was given as a gift from others?
Tens of thousands of infantrymen from the Tielin Army arrived at the battlefield in the afternoon of the second day.
Wang Ke withdrew the 10,000 Tutuan peasants from Jiangzhou and vacated the camp for the Tielin Army's infantry to garrison. As for the barracks for the 3,000 cavalry army, they were temporarily built.
Wang Yao was fairly well-versed in military matters, so his camps were set up on high ground, mostly out of fear of being flooded.
And on the bank of the Fenshui River with lush vegetation, there is a small forest missing...
On May 13th, the Hezhong Army, holding large shields, bravely filled the river, and almost half of it was completed.
"Tear down the earthen wall and clear the land by the river." Shao Shude climbed up to the watchtower in the camp and looked at the other side.
"Uncle?" Wang Yao was surprised.
"Cang!" A Shao soldier drew his sword out of its sheath and glared at Wang Yao.
"This is a military order, please go quickly!" Tenth General Zheng Yong stepped forward and reminded him.
A layer of sweat broke out on Wang Yao's back, and she quickly went down to the watchtower to deliver the order.
The Jiangzhou sergeants quickly received this puzzling order. I was asked to build a wall on the river bank before, but now I am demolishing it. Isn’t this my work in vain?
But the military orders were overwhelming, and they still carried them out. Hard-working, wielding spades and picks, pushed the thick earth wall down and filled it into the trench behind the wall.
The Hezhong Army on the Fenshui River is also confused. But this is not a bad thing. The earth wall is standing there, and there is a trench behind it. It is quite troublesome to attack. The enemy seems to be possessed by evil spirits, and they actually took the initiative to tear down the earth wall and fill it up.
moat.
"All the troops should return to the camp." Shao Shude continued to order.
Wang Yao was already numb and followed the orders one by one.
The Jiangzhou generals were also numb, and the governor didn't object, so what the hell are we talking about!
"Xu Hao!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead the cavalry out tonight and find a place to garrison yourself."
"As you command!"
"Wang Yao!"
"My nephew will be here!"
"The thieves will be able to fill up the north bank tonight. If they don't attack at night, they will come tomorrow. You choose an army and go out to fight tomorrow." After saying that, Shao Shude waved again and asked Wang Yao to come over.
Wang Yao approached and was a little surprised after hearing this. However, the strategy was correct, and it was a military order. He did not dare to violate it, and responded loudly: "General, I will obey."
"Xia Sanmu!"
"The last general is here!" Xia Sanmu, known as the "monk general", stepped forward and responded.
"Among the Tielin Army, you are the most accomplished in the battles of Difficulty. Let the sergeants have a good rest tonight. Even if the sky falls, don't worry about it. I guarantee that you will have enough strength to kill the thieves tomorrow."
"As you command!"
"The military order has been terminated. The generals dispersed and each maintained his duties and waited for the enemy to fight." Shao Shude said: "Wang Ke wanted to fight, so my uncle gave him this opportunity."
At midnight that day, the sergeant in the river was so exhausted that he finally piled the soil bags to the north bank.
At that time, the river overflowed, and some of the soldiers in the river waded across the river and made their way forward with difficulty.
