Chapter 282 Enter Gaoyou

Zhao Zixiong took people and looked at the approaching tattar cavalry in the distance. He gritted his teeth and retreated!

It's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I didn't grasp it. Unexpectedly, this master was really extraordinary. He actually saw that there was a problem here at the ferry. It was impossible for people to detour around and occupy the ferry from the side and wanted to make a sneak attack.

And if the two sides confront each other, it will not be good for their own side. If they have fewer people, they will not take too much advantage if they really fight. If the eldest brother sends another 20,000 people here, he will have full confidence. However, those people have to keep guarding Gaoyou Mansion, and they can't fight with the tars in such a place.

The final battlefield is in Gaoyou Mansion.

Whether his cavalry can exert the greatest power is also in Gaoyou Prefecture.

Yue Kuo Chaer looked at the outline of the earth in front of her, and finally arrived at the Qingjiang ferry. She rushed here and occupied the ferry. The task was completed.

"Slow down the speed and be careful of ambush." Due to the last defeat, Yue Kuo Chaer made up his mind and ordered the soldiers to be vigilant and not to be ambushed by the other party at the last minute.

The soldiers took out their three eyes and looked solemn. They all remembered that a few days ago, one of their strikers fell into an ambush and the whole army was destroyed.

Although they were exhausted after a few days of rushing, their morale was still very high. They were divided into several columns of scattered soldiers and touched the ferry.

"Ah!" Suddenly, the front soldier lost his hoof and fell down.

trip to Maso! The soldier who fell to the ground reacted and saw that the front was already full of three tripping ropes. If it had hit quickly just now, I'm afraid many people would have lost their lives.

"Be careful!" Yue Kuo Chaer shouted, and sure enough, there was an ambush here.

"Dog tartar, I've left you some snacks." Zhao Zixiong retreated and said with a smile.

Their team retreated to the south, and the other party's cavalry came from the west, so before retreating, they arranged some stumbling and traps on the west side of the ferry.

"Ah!" Another cavalryman shouted loudly that the stumbling horse had been cut off. They walked forward cautiously. Unexpectedly, there was still an organ!

Several other soldiers walked slowly, and saw that the soldier, including the man and the horse, had fallen into the trap. At the bottom was the tip of the bamboo, and the man and the horse had all swallowed.

Step by step!

However, Yue Kuochaer had no choice but to occupy the ferry. He was ready to pay the price of 10,000 deaths and injuries. Who knew where the other party would suddenly emerge from? How many people will there be?

There is no other way. This ferry must be occupied. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for the army to cross the river.

It took a few hours. After dozens of "major" casualties, Yuekuocha's cavalry finally boarded the ferry.

No rebels were found.

Yue Kuochaer doesn't believe that the organ just now was clearly arranged by the other party, but the other party actually let himself occupy the ferry so easily? There must be a problem! The other party must hide somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to give himself a fatal blow!

He did not dare to make any mistakes. He ordered 10,000 cavalry to divide into ten teams and search in all directions to see if there were people ambushed next to him. Moreover, he ordered the search team not to fight. After finding it, he immediately came back to report. Although a team of 1,000 people, it is still easy to be eaten by the other party.

"Report Taishi, Lord Yuekuo's cavalry, has occupied the Qingjiang ferry." After a few hours, Tot out finally received a reply.

"Good, great!" What I'm most worried about is that Yuekuo will be in danger. Now, he has occupied the crossing of the Qingjiang River, and the army should be very confident.

"Go down the order and get ready to cross the river."

"Master, Lord Yuekuo asked the army to postpone crossing the river for the time being."

"Why?"

"Although Lord Yuekuo occupied the Qingjiang ferry, various organs had been placed by anti-thieves at the Qingjiang ferry, injuring dozens of soldiers. He was worried that there would be anti-thieves ambush around, afraid that the army would be in danger when crossing the river, so he wanted to ask the army to suspend crossing the river for the time being. When the surrounding enemies were cleared, he was sure. "

Suspend? Totuo thought for a moment: "Then give Yuekuo two days, and after two days, the army will cross the river!"

Two days should be almost the same. Now, it has been a month since the departure. The army's expedition to the south has cost countless money. We can't always delay like this.

Yue Kuo was very puzzled. In the past two days, the search team he sent had searched all the places within a hundred miles around him, and even advanced to Huai'an City without finding any trace of anti-thieves. Huai'an Road sent two thousand teams to assist Yuekuo Chaer in guarding the Qingjiang ferry.

Did the other party just set up some stumbling ropes for himself, dug some traps, and ran away? This is not like the style of these anti-thieves at all.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. The other party is not as powerful as they think. They certainly can't match their 30,000 troops. It is their biggest limit to be able to eat a thousand-person team in one go.

Thinking of this, Yue Kuo Chaer was relieved and sent people back to the north shore for a message. She was ready for vigilance, and the army could cross the river at any time.

At the beginning, the soldiers who sent to find boats have also collected more than 200 small boats, and a total of nearly 500 boats were collected by Xue Xue Xue. However, for hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the river, it is still too little. They can only transport 2,000 people across the river at a time, and they have to transport dozens of times.

Tuo Tuo began to organize people to cross the river. He did not put the heavy team at the end, but let the heavy team line up in the middle to cross the river. For Tuo Tuo, the heavy team was very important, especially the back gun and the bed crossbow inside.

The first batch of people to cross the river were the Tanma Red Army transferred from various provinces.

Slightly larger ships are used to transport war horses, and smaller ships are used to let soldiers ride.

Most soldiers have never taken a boat. After getting on the light boat, their bodies are a little weak, and they dare not look at the yellow river next to them. They close their eyes and wait to cross the river.

It has nothing to do with courage, which is an instinct.

Shi Pu looked at all this and was very worried that if they hadn't occupied the ferry on the other side first, these soldiers would have been easily defeated if they were hit in the process of crossing the river.

He looked up at the other side and had a whim. Why can't he build a bridge?

Soldiers will feel more at ease than passing from the bridge by boat.

"Lord Shi, I have an idea." A voice came from my ear.

Shi Pu looked back and saw that it was the political affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

Shi Pu is the capital of the Privy Council, which is higher than the official position of the provincial government.

"Oh? Do you know what's the plan of Lord Buddha? Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province is in the south. Maybe there is a wonderful way to participate in political affairs from the south.

"I think most soldiers are afraid of water, and it's a waste of time to cross the river like this. It's better to build a pontoon bridge." Buddha Lu said. "

pontoon bridge? What kind of bridge is that? Shi Pu asked, "How to build this pontoon bridge?"

"Let the soldiers find boards and other things that can float on the water from nearby villages, then put all the boards together with ropes, and then pull the ropes to the south bank, so that the pontoon bridge is built in the water. The boards can float on the water and be pulled by ropes. Soldiers can run across the river in pairs, and our boats and transport horses across the river.

Shi Pu's eyes lit up. It's good. This method is good. The bridge floating on the water is simple and fast to build. It's completely OK!

"Then there will be Lord Lawford. The pontoon bridge was built, and I personally went to the master's place to ask for the Buddha's work. Shi Pu said.

"You don't have to work hard. It's what I should do." Buddha Lu said. "

Shi Pu was overjoyed: "With the method of Lord Buddha, the army will definitely cross the river a lot faster!"

When the detachment reached the shore, the pontoon bridge had already been built.

A "bridge" composed of wooden boards floats on the surface of the water, and the river overflows the bridge from time to time. The soldiers are running across the river. If they step on it, the bridge will sink involuntarily. After stepping on it, the bridge will float again. Although the shoes will be wet, this obviously speeds up the speed of crossing the river. Compared with transporting soldiers across the river by boat, it is simply a pioneering move!

Occasionally, soldiers will step on the air, but they will never fall into the water, because on both sides of the bridge, there are guardrails made of two ropes. Once the soldiers make a mistake, they will involuntarily hold the guardrail to protect their own safety.

I'm in a good mood. Who came up with this?

"I report to the master that our department has all crossed the Yellow River." Shi Pu said.

It's only one day, and it's all over? He smiled and said, "Who came up with this idea?"

"Report to the eunuch, it is the Lord of Buddhism in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province." Shi Pu said, "Thanks, he came up with such an idea, which greatly accelerated the pace of our army's southward march."

"Good, it's worthy of being from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province." Duotuo said, "This time we travel to the south, we have to ask them for advice on all kinds of water knowledge!"

In the distance, the twilight is heavy, and it is already dusk.

"Your lord, the tartars are crossing the Yellow River." Luo Guanzhong is reporting to Zhang Yang the latest progress of the tars in Gaoyou Mansion.

Unfortunately, it's a pity that although there are favorable conditions to cross over and create advanced fire gunfire, the command experience in the battle is still too lacking. I only want to send cavalry out to attack and send the water army to defeat the other party's water army, but I didn't think about using the water army to hinder the other party's infantry.

If Bian Yuanheng is prepared in advance, when the tars cross the river, they will shoot the tars crossing the river with scattered fireworks cannons, which must have been fruitful.

After Bian Yuanheng defeated the other party's navy, he has fallen to the transport team and is carrying the coal needed by the base. Of course, Bian Yuanheng must also be selfish. His steam engine ship must burn coal, which must be much better than less firewood. He is also storing supplies for himself.

It's just that the transmission of information in this era is too backward. If there is a mobile phone, you can directly give an order to Bian Yuanheng to intercept the tars crossing the river.

At that time, the Tutars will be in a dilemma. If they want to think about the river, they will be hindered by the navy, but the river will not be able to eliminate their own forces. Only take a detour. Maybe, after this year is over, I still haven't arrived at the battlefield.

After all, Huai'an Road is still in the hands of the tars, and its own strength is not strong enough. Relying on the strong city, it is an established strategy to destroy the living power of the tars, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

"Has Baoying's tunnel been dug?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's all ready." Luo Guanzhong replied.

After crossing the Yellow River, the tar will definitely rush straight south. The first thing that will be hit is Baoying. Zhang Yang let the garrison of Baoying. After a little resistance, he will give up Baoying, break through the waterway and return to Gaoyou Mansion.

After the tars capture Baoying, they will definitely hoard all the logistics materials in Baoying. At that time, they only need to send people to drill back from the tunnel and burn the other party's food and fodder. They can't fight this battle.

Therefore, the tunnel must be dug in advance and reserved for later use.

"According to the speed of the tars' march, after crossing the Yellow River, you can reach Baoying in ten days." Luo Guanzhong said.

"From now on, the battle will enter the countdown, and all troops will be ready to fight against the tars!" Zhang Yang said.

It is useless to escape, and it is even more useless to cringe. After this battle, the court will lose its vitality, and this will be its own world.

Dadu, Taishifu.

"Your Excellency first, I have something important to report." Ru Zhongbai came in a hurry and said to Timur first.

Since he escaped, he has also executed the government on behalf of his brother, assisted by Ru Zhongbai. Although his ability is not high, everything seems to be in order.

"It turned out to be your lord." I also saw that it was Ru Zhongbai who came in first. He put down the document in his hand and said, "Your lord came in a hurry. What's the matter?"

"It's still what I said last time." Ru Zhongbai looked at no one on the left and right, and then cautiously said, "You can't delay any longer. Recently, Hama has been moving up and down, especially with a close relationship with the harem. I'm afraid it's not good for the master!"

"So it's this, your lord, Hama is not bad in essence. If you don't have a real handle, forget it." Let's talk about it first.

Ru Zhongbai has always said that Hama will be unfavorable to the master, but he didn't believe it at first. When it comes to Hama, some things are not authentic, but he has never done anything to harm the master. What's more, he once had kindness to the master. If he wanted to kill him, he could not do it first.

"Let's talk about this matter when the master comes back!" I also said first, "Is there anything else?"

"I'm afraid it will be too late! Hama has been instigating the relationship between the queen and the imperial master, and keeps blowing in the emperor's ear. After a long time, I'm afraid something will really happen!" Ru Zhongbai almost wanted to kneel down first. Hama couldn't jump up when the master was there. Now, the master has left. Hama has been moving for the past few days. Ru Zhongbai has seen through that Hama will definitely be unfavorable to the master.

However, this master's younger brother is also an adult, so he is not as bold as a master. Oh, wait until the master comes back? Ru Zhongbai shook his head. Something really happened. I'm afraid the master didn't have a chance to come back at all.

"Queen, Lord Hama is here." In the harem, an old eunuch reported.

Originally, foreign officials were not allowed to enter the harem, but Hama was an exception. Hama induced the emperor to be happy. Ten people, including the bald Lu Timur and the old Sha, were "Yina", and the life of the noble family and the women of the neighborhood were brought to the palace for the emperor and the Yina to have fun. The king and minister were completely ashamed, and the men and women were naked [***] for fun. The ugly sound is blemous, so Hama can walk freely in the harem for a long time.

Ha Ma is here? The queen said, "Xuan."

Soon, Hama came in with a flattering smile.

"Empress, this time I'm here to report the good news." Hama said.

"Where does happiness come from?"

"Does the Queen still remember the canonization of the prince mentioned by Weichen last time?"

"Of course I remember." The queen was a little unhappy. It was a big deal to make her the crown prince. From any point of view, her son Aili Dalila should be the prince's candidate, but... "If it hadn't been for the master's obstruction last time, the matter would have been done." Hama said.

Speaking of this, the queen's face obviously changed. Hama saw it in her eyes and was secretly happy.

"That's right, but now that Master Taishi has gone on an expedition, we have a chance."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, let's let the emperor do this matter while the master doesn't come back."

This is very loud, as if the emperor still listens to him, but the queen knows that this matter may really come true, because the emperor is a person without opinions. When the master is here, everything is subject to the master. Now, the master has gone on an expedition, and the one who assists the government is also a person with no ability, while This opportunity can really be achieved.

"As long as we find some imperial officials and ask the emperor a few times, the emperor will agree." Hama said.

The queen nodded.

"However, I'm afraid I will still oppose it after the master comes back." Hama said.

The queen's face was angry. Why did this master always have a hard time with herself? I don't want my son to be a prince, but I still want his son to be a prince?

Hama knows that she has successfully provoked the murder in the queen's heart. With her support for herself and the hope of killing the master, it will be much greater.

"I will plead with the emperor and let you write about political affairs." The queen said.

"Thank you, Empress." Ha Ma Xi comes from it.

Now Zhongshu Pingzhang's political affairs are empty. I'm afraid it's left by the master for Ru Zhongbai. However, after climbing up to this position, the master's escape, so don't think about coming back!

Hama hated Totaku, and also hated Ru Zhongbai. At the beginning, when Tou lost power, he said so many good things to Totakuto in front of the emperor. However, after Totou returned to power, he used Ruzhongbai!

What I lost must be taken back!

Although the master is unbreakable in the emperor's heart, as long as he is patient enough and insists on telling the emperor the fault of escape, the emperor will always be suspicious.

Topew has never thought that he will be defeated by a villain.

At this moment, all the troops have crossed the Yellow River.

The heavy team he was most worried about also crossed the Yellow River safely. In the whole process, I didn't meet the other party's navy. I was very puzzled and lucky. This most dangerous process was over.

There is only one left: go to Gaoyoufu!
