Song Mingyue

Chapter 284

sunset.

In the lower reaches of the Gaoliang River, the water is sparkling.

Four warships launched from the south, carrying dozens of people and [-] to [-] horses, slowly headed for the north bank.

"The outer narrow and long is called Mengchong, which is also used to collide with enemy ships." The boat is the main ship of the ancient navy. The hull is narrow and long, with strong maneuverability, which is easy to collide with enemy ships.A ship can carry 30 people, and is covered with cowhide all around, which can block ordinary crossbow arrows, and the cabin has crossbow windows and spear holes, so you can hide in the cabin and attack, and it is powered by oars, so the boat travels extremely fast.

The boats on both sides of the Gaoliang River had already been cleaned up, and this warship was naturally manufactured by Zhao Hao's system. Since there were nearly thirty war horses, four warships were used to transport it.

The purpose of this squadron is to transport fourteen warriors across the river to hunt and kill the Yuanlanzi cavalry on the opposite side.

Fourteen mighty generals: Yang Zaixing, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, Hua Rong, Shi Jin, Yan Qing, Sun Li, Zhang Qing, Li Ying, Hu Sanniang, Shi Xiu.

All 14 of them are generals with a force of 75 or more, with an average force of 85 or more. There is another man with two horses, each with two hard bows, four pots of spiked arrows, and one bottle of Jinchuang Dan. They are extremely well prepared. The most important one is Yuanlanzi, an elite detective cavalry of the Liao people.

Although it is seven or eight miles away from the Liao people's water village, the patrol boats on the water quickly found them. As the whistle on the water sounded, six or seven patrol boats immediately gathered together, and there was no time to do too much As soon as he was ready, he rushed towards the boat fleet.

There are ships in the south and horses in the north. The northerners use war horses as their main means of transportation. Naturally, they are far behind in shipbuilding. Besides, the ships used by the Liao people are mainly fishing boats. Six or seven fishing boats can't pose much threat to warships. .

Inside the cabin, all the soldiers of the Song Army saw the Liao people coming flying in the wooden boat, and they didn't realize that there was a look of contempt in their eyes, and they didn't panic at all.

The Liao people's boat was getting closer and closer, and they were within a hundred paces.

huh~
A mace arrow shot out from the crossbow window and headed straight for the wooden boat at the front.

puff~
The arrow was like a shooting star, piercing the throat of the leading Liao army on the wooden boat, piercing through the flesh and bones, and coming out through the neck, and with another whistling sound, it penetrated into the chest of a Liao army behind him.

wow~
The Liao army in the front fell into the water without saying a word, while the Liao army in the back clutched his chest, spurting blood from his mouth, and fell down slowly.

The power of the divine arm crossbow is unparalleled in the world, especially within a hundred steps, its lethality can be described as terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of breaking through the air, and crossbow arrows one after another flashed rays of light in the air, and shot towards the wooden boats of the Liao army. Like piles planted in the river.

The river water instantly turned red.

At this moment, the Liao people knew how ridiculous it was to drive a patrolling fishing boat to intercept a warship equipped with a powerful crossbow.

"Get out!" someone yelled.

The wooden boats of the Liao army turned around one after another. Behind them, another rain of arrows hit, and many people were shot into the water.

With a water surface of more than twenty feet, it didn't take long for the warships to reach the other side.

Just when everyone had just landed on the shore, the whistle on the shore was already loud, and a five-member Yuanlanzi team rushed over.

The Liao people are far away from the barriers, and all of them are one-in-a-million soldiers who are excellent in riding and shooting, and one man and two horses come and go like the wind, and their combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.

Yang Zaixing took the lead to disembark from the boat and landed on the north bank. Just as he turned over and got off the horse, he heard the sound of bows and arrows, and five feathered arrows shot at him head and face.

Yang Zaixing danced a circle of light with the silver spear in his hand, only heard a few clicks, and the five feathered arrows were swept off by Lanyao, splashed out and fell to the ground.

Yuan Lanzi, who was rushing towards him, put away his longbow and took off his iron spear. The five iron spears formed a semi-surrounding formation, stabbing wildly towards Yang Zaixing.

Yang Zaixing laughed loudly, galloped his horse like flying, and rushed towards the five people.

Dangdang~
Only three sounds of gold and iron clanging were heard, and the three iron spears were swung away by the silver spear. The man and the horse crashed out from the encirclement of the five men, and they rushed for more than ten steps before reining in their horses and standing up.

The Wuqi Yuanbanzi also galloped for more than ten steps before stopping, only to hear a bang, the Yuanbanzi in the middle suddenly fell off his horse and fell into the dust, motionless, with blood gurgling from his throat The gurgling flows out and flows into the cracks in the ground.

As capable as a distant blocker, facing a peerless fierce general like Yang Zaixing is just a matter of meeting him face to face.

The remaining four Yuan Lanzi were shocked, and were about to attack Yang Zaixing again with their spears, but they heard the sound of feathered arrows whizzing from behind, and when everyone turned their heads, another person fell down, clutching his throat.

A feathered arrow shot out through the neck, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.

Tens of steps away, Hua Rong retracted his long bow, took out three long arrows from the quiver, and put them on the three-stone ox horn bow, but found that the remaining three Yuanlanzi had been submerged by more than ten robes.

More than twenty war horses whizzed by like a strong wind, rushed to Yang Zaixing, and when they turned their horses around, the three Yuan Lanzi who had traversed the Northland had long been dead on the ground, and only a few ownerless war horses were left mourning. Hissing.

Yang Zaixing laughed loudly: "Take the horse, don't waste it!"

He grabbed a few riders from the crowd and led the five war horses together.

The people continued to move forward on horseback, and the four boats near the shore also turned their bows and headed back to the south bank.

At this moment, there was a loud sound of hoofbeats and whistles ahead, and about [-] people from the two Yuanlanzi detachments roared towards Yang Zaixing and others.

All the generals of the Song Dynasty cheered up, raised their weapons one after another, and rushed towards them viciously, like a group of ferocious beasts rushing towards lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

……

into the night.

Liao army dry village camp.

"Report~ The Nanren sent a team of more than ten fine cavalry to intercept and kill Yuanlanzi along the lower reaches of the south bank. Today, more than forty people from Yuanlanzi have been lost!"

Po Likuo was discussing with the generals about preventing the southerners from crossing the river, when he heard the urgent report from the soldiers, he jumped up in shock: "What?"

The Yuanlanzi of more than forty men was worth hundreds of elite soldiers, but it was actually wiped out by a cavalry of more than ten men from the southerners. What kind of heavenly soldiers is this?
Not only Po Li Kuo didn't believe it, Yelu Aguzhe didn't believe it either, he stared at him and said angrily, "How can that be reasoned, my Daliao soldiers are all owned by hundreds of generals, how could they be so vulnerable?"

Before the words were finished, another urgent report came from outside the tent: "General Qi, the people of Song Dynasty sent elite troops to cross the river to hunt and kill Yuanlanzi in the lower reaches of the Gaoliang River. More than [-] people have been killed today!"

Yelu Aguzhe was stunned for a while, and then he said angrily: "Quickly send the order down, gather at the far barriers everywhere, don't disperse your actions, and reduce the detection distance of the far barriers upstream to less than ten miles, and evacuate. The next [-]% of the troops must gather in the downstream direction, and we must kill this elite southerner!"

"Here!"

Poli Kuo finally realized it, and said anxiously: "No, this is probably a strategy of the people of the Song Dynasty to attack the West, and the vigilance at the upstream must not be relaxed!"

Yelua Guzhe said coldly: "General Polikuo, Yuanlanzi is a hero of the Liao people and a treasure of the Daliao people. If he is hunted and killed by the Song people again and again, whether it is from Dashi Linya or King Xiao, you and I I can't afford it!"

Polyco did not make a sound.

The whole of Daliao's Yuanlanzi, with no more than a thousand people, has now been killed by the southerners of more than [-] people, which is indeed an immeasurable loss. If it continues to be damaged, it will be like cutting flesh for the Liao people. pain.

……

The upper reaches of the Gaoliang River, on the north bank.

Zhao Hao, surrounded by Zhong Shi Dao, Zhong Shi Zhong, Wang Ti and a group of Jinyi guards, immediately rode to the river, staring at the river in a trance.

tap tap ~
A gallop galloped over, it was He Shen, who had just joined Zhao Hao's sect.

Zhao Hao waved his hand to stop He Shen who was about to salute, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

He Shen Gong said: "All arrangements are ready. I have selected a narrow riverbed in the upstream direction. The river is only more than five feet wide. It is about ten miles away from this place. I have prepared more than ten thousand bags of soil, each weighing about three or four. Ten catties is enough to fill the river with a length of more than twenty feet."

Zhao Hao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, let's do it quickly, and the river must be filled before the fourth watch!""

He Shen Ying Nuo flew away.

In the upper reaches of the Gaoliang River, the night was hazy and the wind was howling.

On the river beach, there were crowds of people, densely packed at least tens of thousands of people, everyone carrying a big bag of earth, standing in awe, many people had already stood in the shallow water.

"Drop the bag!" He Shen shouted in a low voice.

The military orders were passed down layer by layer, and soldiers of the Song Army rushed into the river one by one with their bags of earth on their backs, only to see water splashing on the river surface, and the sound of earth bags splashing into the water was endless.

At the very beginning, the soil bags were still flowing slowly at the bottom of the river. As more and more soil bags were cast, they gradually stabilized. Tens of thousands of people moved together, and soon filled the river bottom with a length of more than [-] feet. Fill to the opposite bank.

Tens of thousands of soil bags were piled up, and the depth of the twenty-odd-foot-long water surface was less than a foot, only half a knee deep. Low cheers, excited.

He Shen ordered everyone to go into the water again, and flattened the soil on the river bottom one by one to avoid being too rough, and then let out a long breath.

……

Night, four watch.

At the filling place of the upper reaches of the Gaoliang River, three thousand white pole soldiers and thousands of elite soldiers stood neatly on the river bank, full of murderous aura.

Those thousands of elite soldiers were the famous Death Battalion in the Northern Expedition.The elite soldiers of the Death Battalion, in addition to being fully armed, carried a bundle of firewood sprinkled with sulfur and oil on their backs when they went north.All the elite soldiers who dare to die also straddle war horses, but they don't have one person and two horses like the white stile soldiers, and the horses under their crotch are far less vigorous than the white stile soldiers, because their horses are not used for galloping their hooves, but to save their feet. However, after all, the distance is more than ten miles, and the best time to attack is only one hour, so you can't waste too much time on the road.

In front of the army, Zhao Hao was dressed in white robes and silver armor, holding a long steel halberd, sitting proudly on top of the feathered horse.

Thousands of pairs of eyes fixed on Zhao Hao's back in unison, orderly and awe-inspiring, like a god looking at them, an invincible and omnipotent god!

At this moment, Yang Keshi behind him also became serious.He got to know Zhao Hao when he conquered Fangla. Later, he traveled thousands of miles with Zhao Hao across the Liao land, led three hundred horsemen to charge into battle, and won a martial arts contest with the Jinren. Later, he followed Zhao Hao to conquer Liangshan. Mr. Zhao, who has no rank and no rank, has now become the famous Mr. Zhao in the government and the public. Especially this aura of looking down on the world is not what it used to be, and I feel quite emotional.

On the surface of the river, there are two rows of Song soldiers, standing at both ends of the picture bag, forming two cordons to prevent soldiers crossing the river from crossing the border and falling into the deep water.

Zhao Hao raised the halberd in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Boys, follow me to kill the enemy and win!"

After speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the Gaoliang River, stepping on the dirt road on the river bed, splashing water with the horse's hooves, and rushed to the opposite bank.

Behind him, Yang Keshi led [-] white battalion soldiers, and followed him closely, rushing into the river and heading straight to the bank.

Then, Han Shizhong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other powerful generals led thousands of elite soldiers who dared to die, and without hesitation, they rushed into the water without hesitation, wading away like an angry dragon.

After the sound of rushing water, thousands of soldiers who dared to die drifted towards the north bank of the Gaoliang River like dark clouds.

Following the sound of orderly footsteps and horseshoes, all the white stile soldiers and death-defying elite soldiers boarded the north bank of the Gaoliang River, and quickly assembled on the bank of the river.
