Chapter 261: Night Crossing

The spring rain was continuous, and Zhao Qi, who was in Fangcheng, was in a mood as dark as the weather outside the window. He was ambitious to go to war, but Jing'an was defeated, but he slapped him hard in the face. Haikou, who boasted in front of Zhao Wuji, now Almost became a joke.

After retreating across the Yishui River, they lost a large amount of supplies and supplies that had been transported across the river before. Now it would be cheaper for the Yan army. If Zhao Guang on the right did not block Zhou Yuan's main force's attack and did not allow them to take advantage of the situation to chase across the river, Now that I am in Fangcheng, I am afraid that I am already uneasy.

This spring rain and the timely spring flood finally alleviated the current predicament and allowed him to regain his strength. More supplies are being shipped in a steady stream to replenish the shortage in the front line and defend the five cities. This is Zhao The bottom line of Wuji, and at the beginning, Zhao Qi's ambition was to teach Yan Guo a severe lesson.

Now it seems that there is no possibility of implementation at all. It is impossible for Zhao Guo to give him more soldiers and horses. Compared with Yan Guo, Zhao Guo's bigger enemies come from the Xiongnu on the northern grasslands, and the western ones. Qin State.

This is a battle that makes Zhao Qi feel a little humiliated.

Zhao Guang retreated to defend Weicheng, and Zhao Dong guarded the whole city. These two cities at the forefront must not be lost. Zhao Guang has 30,000 Zhao's standing army under his command, but he is facing Zhou Yuan's Yan army's main force , after Zhou Yu gave himself a hard blow, he had already withdrew his army and returned, and the ones who dealt with the whole city had completely become Jiang Dawei's Yuyang County soldiers, which made Zhao Qi feel a little relieved.

The opponent's striker has already reached the Yishui River, but the main force of Yuyang County has hardly been dispatched. With the thousands of strikers, it is impossible to take down the whole city. It also proved Zhao Qi's idea, the other party camped by the Yishui River, looking for boats, cutting down trees, building rafts and bridges, seemed very busy, but no one soldier crossed the river.

This is a precious period of time, allowing Zhao Qi to lick the bloody wounds well. In this battle, the morale of the troops under his command suffered a great blow. Yan's army is in his eyes, although they are not Zhao's standing army, they are just Zhao Qi's private army.

But the bloody facts knocked out their arrogance, not to mention the standing army of the Yan Kingdom, but a group of miscellaneous soldiers gathered from all directions, and they almost broke their front teeth.

This battle not only made Zhao Dong, but also Zhao Qi remember the general named Gao Yuan.

Zhao Qi has not really taken Gao Yuan into his eyes until now, but at this moment, Zhao Dong, who is guarding the whole city, is very concerned about Gao Yuan. What Gao Yuan left for Zhao Dong during the Jing'an battle The image is too deep, a character who can condense tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers together, no matter how you look at it, he is also an extremely powerful character, not to mention, during the battle, Zhao Dong almost killed his opponent He didn't take his guard lightly just because he was facing thousands of miscellaneous soldiers led by Gao Yuan.

The whole city is about twenty miles away from the Yishui River. On this twenty-mile road, Zhao Dong set up several watchtowers and prepared fast horses. Whenever Gao Yuan made any move, he would be able to know immediately and do it well. Countermeasures. After the defeat of Jing'an, Zhao Jun's strategy has retreated to the bottom line, which is to defend the five cities that Yan State wants.

There will be no reinforcements! This point, Zhao Dong is very clear, the most elite troops of Zhao State are gathered under Zhao Mu at this moment, ready to deal with the attack from Qin State. And the strategic direction of the whole country is also biased towards Western.

Just defend the five cities. As long as the war drags on, we can talk.

The continuous spring rains for several days also made Zhao Dong's tense heart stop a little bit. The continuous spring rains made the roads muddy and difficult to walk. In a short period of time, the opponent cannot cross the river to fight.

Such a period of time is enough for him to manage the whole city well and build it stronger.

"General, some changes have been noticed in the city, and the people are a little disturbed." He Dapeng came over, his riding boots slapping in the spring rain.

"Is Yan Lingwei from Yan Kingdom making trouble again? If you find one, kill another, and you will never be merciless. You would rather kill by mistake than let it go!" Zhao Dong said coldly, "People from Yan Kingdom are calling, and their hearts are uneasy. It's time, hmph, after returning to Zhao for ten years, these untouchables are really a rock that can't be warmed, if you don't kill a few of them, you really don't know how to live or die."

"yes!"

"General, it's raining continuously in spring, and the roads are really difficult. Will the cavalry patrol temporarily stop?" He Dapeng walked a few steps, turned around again, and looked at Zhao Dong.

"Stop it for two days, the enemy won't be able to fight in this damn weather." Zhao Dong nodded, "Let the horses grow up well, and there will definitely be a big fight in the future."

It is the thinking of the generals of this era that wars cannot be fought in this kind of weather. Here in Gaoyuan, there is no such shackles. On the other side of the Yishui River, a storm is brewing in Gaoyuan's big tent.

Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the sheep felt, the ground was very damp, and the big tent was set up very simply. If you pressed the ground in front of you, water would come out, even if you were sitting on the sheep felt, you could Feel the dampness and cold air coming from the ground.

Around Gao Yuan, Naha, Infantry, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan sat in a group, and everyone was silent. Outside the big tent, the violent wind and rain were accompanied by thunder and lightning, covering up all other sounds The tent door was open, and a bolt of lightning came down, illuminating the outside like daytime, but the dense raindrops made everyone's sight only limited to the square garden outside the tent door.

At this time, in the Yan army camp, in all the big tents, the soldiers were wearing armour, just like their chiefs, sitting silently in the tents, waiting for further orders. Everyone knew that there would be The big action, from this early morning, all actions will be cancelled, the soldiers had dinner early, and then stayed in the big tent.

Most of the soldiers still have doubts in their hearts. In their past careers, such weather has never happened before, not to mention fighting, even marching. But for Fufeng soldiers, this is considered a Nothing, not to mention the rain, even in the winter covered with ice and snow, the snow is up to the knees, they will go out to fight the same.

These Fufeng soldiers who had just been promoted to officers, told their past stories vividly to their subordinates. Some of them were very eloquent, and they talked like street storytellers. , but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all talk about these past events in a way that makes people's blood boil, and pour out the passion of a man without a doubt.

There is nothing impossible in this world, only things you dare to do!

Attacking in this kind of weather will bring the greatest victory at the smallest cost, because even you can't imagine that we will attack tonight, so the enemy can't even imagine it.

It's just that the road is a little more difficult, but compared to fighting the enemy head-on and throwing your head and blood, what is this difficulty?

The doubts of all the soldiers were dispelled little by little, and the passion was ignited little by little.

Outside Gao Yuan's large tent, a person emerged from the heavy rain, naked as if he had just been fished out of the water, but his face was full of excitement, it was Yan Haibo.

"County Lieutenant, according to the intelligence obtained from the investigation in the past few days, our advance personnel have successfully killed the opponent's first watchtower, and the other side has just sent a signal, and they are setting off for the second watchtower. We, can It's started!" Yi Haibo stood in front of Gao Yuan, the water on his body kept flowing down, and in an instant, a small puddle formed in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan stood up, "Brothers, you have made great achievements, and now we, Dayan, want to regain the five cities that we lost many years ago. We will start from here today. Zhao Guo has eaten us, and we have to spit it out and take it away." Ours must be returned to us."

"To make meritorious deeds is now!" Inside the big tent, several generals roared in a low voice.

"Assembly!" Gao Yuan waved his hand fiercely, Yan Haibo, Naha, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan turned around and filed out. Gao Yuan turned around and said, "Infantry, I will hand over to you here. After we win, we will go out." Respond to the signal, and immediately report to Jiang Da on a fast horse, well, at the same time, send a group of fast horses to the general."

"Understood!" Infantry said. "County Lieutenant, be careful, if things go wrong, you must come back."

"Don't worry!" Gao Yuan laughed, "In Gao Yuan's mind, there has never been the word failure!"

By the Yishui River, the torrential river hit the embankment, making a loud noise. The formerly docile Yishui River has shown its tyrannical side since the spring flood. However, in Zhao Jun's view, this has indeed become a natural obstacle for the opponent. On this thunderstorm night, they can sleep peacefully with peace of mind.

Watchtowers one by one were silently taken down one by one by the Fufeng soldiers while the soldiers were sleeping peacefully, completely losing the role of Zhao Dong in setting them up.

On the Yishui River, huge sheepskin rafts were floating on the river surface, tied to the embankment by more than a dozen ropes and driven deep into tree stumps in the ground. Even so, the sheepskin rafts were also floating in the middle of the river. West Dang.

Gao Yuan took his two hundred Fufeng elite soldiers and crossed the river as the first group of attackers. These sheepskin rafts were made by Gao Yuan after seeing Sha Potian Bai Yucheng use them. You can walk with a roll on your back, and when you get cold, you can also use it as a quilt cover. When you meet the river, the lambskin rafts will be blown up one by one, tied together, and covered with a layer of boards, and can be used as a big raft, which is convenient. Fast and convenient, it is a necessary item for horse bandits to go out to rob and kill the Quartet.

These seemingly huge sheepskin rafts in the river are actually the result of hundreds of small sheepskin rafts tied together. Fufeng may not have too many other things, but these animal furs can't be more. , fur trading and tanning have formed a considerable industry, making these sheepskin rafts is simply an easy task for Gao Yuan.

Looking for ships and building bridges are just for Zhao Jun to see.

"Let's go!" Gao Yuan shouted.

The rope was untied, the sheepskin raft trembled, and immediately floated down the river. On the raft, dozens of soldiers sitting on the edge danced their paddles desperately to stabilize the raft. paddle across the shore.

"Second batch, get ready!" On the embankment, the infantry shouted in a deep voice. (To be continued.
