Chapter 1243 Crossing the Water(1/2)
Just when Huguan began to fall into chaos and rumors spread, Danshui was also in chaos.
The general of the Wei army who was ordered to guard the edge of Danshui had already jumped to his feet and yelled in public regardless of his dignity:
"Crazy, crazy, really crazy!"
Does the traitor general on the opposite side really know nothing about leading an army?
How can anyone lead an army like this!
On the first day when we arrived on the other side, we immediately crossed the water to explore the way.
The next day, the entire army marched across the river.
Didn’t you see that there are many camps and forts on your side, looking heavily guarded?
Aren't they afraid that if they fail to cross the water, the whole army will be buried in the belly of the fish?
General Wei was trembling all over, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid.
As long as you can have more troops on hand.
As long as there are more than 5,000 people, he will have the confidence to block this bandit army in the water.
You can even make the opponent suffer a lot, letting the thief on the other side know the consequences of acting so recklessly.
But he didn't.
The troops he had in hand could only defend the water crossing point in front.
He couldn't even take care of the bandits crossing the water from both wings.
He didn't even understand how the bandit army could build so many weird rafts in one day and one night.
How could one have imagined that the bandit army would suddenly launch such a large-scale water crossing?
According to common sense, even if a superior force crosses the water, it will take a while to build water crossing equipment.
Unlike the bandit army in front of us, they didn't act according to common sense from the beginning.
"Go, go, go!"
"Charge over, the thieves don't have many troops. As long as we all rush over, we'll spend the night in the thieves' camp tonight!"
"If you can't get through, you'll spend the night in the water tonight!"
Compared to the Wei army, which was in a hurry, the Han army, which had a special mobilization mechanism, was planning to break through the Wei thieves' defense line in one go.
On each larger raft, there is a young general with an excited look on his face and an exciting tone of voice, encouraging the surrounding soldiers.
Some even ignored the arrows that fell from the sky from time to time, stood up directly, held a tin trumpet, and kept shouting:
"Soldiers, it's time to make a contribution. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, as long as we can defeat the bandit army on the opposite side, we can accumulate an acre of land at least!"
“If we work harder, it’s not impossible to cover eight acres of ten acres!”
"Let me tell you, the rebel army on the other side is much smaller than ours, and they can drown each other with just a spit of spit!"
"When you get to the end of the field, don't be afraid, follow me and rush!"
"Don't worry, I will die first!"
The expression on the face of the young man who said this was no longer excited, but rather fanatical.
A strong and proud man with great ambitions should die in the wilderness and be buried wrapped in horse leather.
Thinking of the memorial hall in the Royal Academy, the incense lasts forever, and sacrifices are made in the world. Even if the man dies, there is nothing to be afraid of!
I want to enter the spiritual throne hall, and you want to shadow your descendants.
Everyone gets what they need, so follow me!
As the raft got closer and closer to the other side, the young general bent down, picked up his weapon, and stared straight ahead, like a leopard ready to pounce at any time.
"Wow!"
The raft hit something and shook violently, causing everyone on the raft to shake involuntarily.
"Come on! Follow me!"
The young general jumped into the water first and rushed towards the shore before he could stand firm.
The Wei army in front was already fighting with the first batch of Han troops who washed ashore.
The young general's eyes turned red and he wished he could fly to the front line.
"Lead, line up?"
Seeing that his team leader was in such a hurry, someone quickly reminded him.
"What a stupid queue!"
The young team leader pointed to the front and cursed: "It's a bad fight, just follow me!"
Shi Bao wanted to forcefully break through the Wei army's waterfront defense line, and those sent in front were naturally the most elite backbone of the Tu Chen army.
Even the more than two thousand engineering battalion guards under Wang Han pressed forward.
Therefore, despite the fact that the team is young, in fact they are already experienced veterans.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Jiang cursed loudly.
After all, he never thought that the Han army would dare to cross Danshui without even having time to breathe.
What's more important is that the Han troops who were thought to have fought to the death yesterday could be regarded as fierce soldiers rarely seen in the world.
Who would have expected that those who rushed over today would be even more fierce and fearless than the group of Han troops yesterday.
He even slapped his mother for this!
"General, it's not good! Another group of thieves have landed from the south and are rushing over here!"
The ordering soldiers rushed over rolling and crawling on the ground, reporting urgently.
General Wei's face was ashen, he glanced at the messenger with numb eyes, and said nothing.
What's the use of telling me this?
Just to block the Han army in front, I have mobilized all my troops.
The original idea was to push them back into the water as quickly as possible in order to frighten the enemy.
Who would have expected that, instead of intimidating the opponent, he would be intimidated instead.
All the troops that can be mobilized now are entangled with the Han army at the front.
Where are the extra troops to take care of the two wings?
At this moment, I saw a firework suddenly rise on the east bank of Danshui, followed immediately by a second one, which was extremely gorgeous.
Shi Bao, who had been holding a telescope to observe the battle on the other side, laughed loudly:
"The soldiers have defeated the thief!"
A firework shows that we have established a firm foothold and initially established a beachhead position.
What Shi Bao didn't expect was that things went surprisingly smoothly. Two fireworks rose in the sky, indicating that a counterattack was underway.
"Send an order for the rear troops to speed up and cross the water immediately!"
"Tell them that everyone can spend the night in the bandit camp tonight."
"Here!"
The thunderous war drums sounded.
Row after row of rafts were put into the water. Looking around, the Han troops on the Danshui River were like ants, densely packed and swarming towards the other side.
"General, it's not good, the bandit army has already rushed towards the Chinese army!"
The rear army of the Han army reached the other side, completely declaring victory in the forced crossing of Danshui.
This time, even the personal guards couldn't restrain themselves:
"General, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Decision? What decision? What kind of decision can there be now?"
At this time, General Wei calmed down:
"There are fewer soldiers than thieves, and there are no reinforcements behind me. No one can defend such a long river section. What decision can I make?"
The anxious guard stepped forward, lowered his voice, and urged:
"General, why don't you retreat? We will risk our lives to escort the general back to his eldest son..."
"The eldest son is also an empty city. What's the use of going back there?"
General Wei smiled miserably:
"General Sun asked me to stay at least five days, and now I haven't even arrived for two days. Even if I escape, I will still die."
"General, do you want to fight to the death?"
General Wei glanced at his bodyguard and said nothing.
