Chapter 103 The iron lock Hengjiang River finally becomes empty. Ma Tassai Beixian Hero
Mianchi, the crossing of the Yellow River.
Large trucks full of grain and fodder were transported to Hebei, then loaded on the ship, and then transported to Henan. On a dirt slope at the ferry, Cheng Wu, who was responsible for transporting grain and fodder, looked at the busy crowd and urged him to transport grain as soon as possible.
"Why are you so anxious to join the army? You should know that now we have chains to lock the Yellow River upstream and downstream. Those damn Jingxiang sailors can't come!" Looking at Cheng Wu roaring so anxiously, Xia Houmao, the captain of Xiaoqi, who was in charge of transferring food and fodder with him, also laughed.
Cheng Wu is the son of Cheng Yu, and Xiahou Mao is the eldest son of Xia Houyuan, which is also regarded as the official second generation of the authentic Cao Wei Group. Now Cao Hong's army is fighting in Henan. These little people either go to war with the army, or they are busy fighting soy sauce and transporting grain and fodder in the back. Although Cheng Wu is not as intelligent as his father, he is very similar to Cheng Yu, that is, he has an extremely keen sense of crisis.
"That being said, the food and fodder were transported to the front as soon as possible, and the soldiers would feel more at ease!" Cheng Wu was cautious. At this moment, the soldiers on the shore heard an exclamation. Cheng Wu was stunned and quickly climbed high to see what had happened. It didn't matter, Cheng Wu was stunned.
But I saw dozens of boats floating down the upper reaches of the Yellow River. These boats were very strange, and they were all stacked with large cabinets. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the sailors on the ship are all in scarlet clothing: authentic Liu Bei's military equipment.
"Is it Jingxiang Water Master?" Xia Hoomao, who followed, saw these boats and was immediately anxious. Awakened by Xiahou Mao's duck-like cry, Cheng Wu was also shocked, and then asked puzzledly, "How did Jingxiang sailor come here? Isn't there a chain and a reef in the upper reaches?"
No one can answer him, but soon Cheng Wu will know the answer. After touching the chains on the bank of the river, the soldiers of the navy immediately moved the large cabinet on the ship to the bow of the chain, and then ignited the large cabinet. I don't know what these cabinets are made of, but the fire is so strong.
"What is this?" In the incredible eyes of Cheng Wu and Xiahou Mao, the chain was soon burned red and then burned out. Because this section is a ferry, only the chain has no reefs. As a result, after the chain was burned off, the warship behind it rushed to the defenseless grain ship like a dragon out of the water.
"Quick, withdraw!" Xia Houmao was really anxious and didn't want to come too fast. Although it had just been withdrawn, more than a dozen grain ships did not have time to withdraw. Finally, they were hit and sunk into the Yellow River, and all the food on the ship was soaked.
"General Cheng Zi of Hengbo of the Great Han Dynasty, everyone, see you later!" Above the bow of the ship, an arrogant voice came ashore. Xia Hou Mao was so angry that he almost jumped into the water. Cheng Wu looked at Jing Xiang's sailor who was gradually moving away, and his heart suddenly lit up: nine times out of ten of the upstream chains were also removed by them. Then I thought that now Jingxiang sailors can come and go freely in the Yellow River.
"Wait, doesn't this mean that hundreds of thousands of troops have been completely divided in Henan?" As soon as this idea came up, Cheng Wu suddenly felt a cool air rising from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. After calming down, Cheng Wu still decided to report to the court of Ye City first. With his little ability, he couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while.
What Cheng Wu didn't know was that this was just the beginning. At this time, Long Xidi said, Zhang Fei took off a paper roll from the leg of a carrier pigeon, unfolded it, and immediately grinned: "The matter on the other side of the Yellow River has been done, and I can send troops later!"
"Good!" After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Zhao Feng and others cheered. They have been stationed in Longxi for more than half a month. Zhao Feng's surname is calm and self-sufficient, but Zhang Fei has been waiting for a little painfully. Now when I receive the news to attack Hebei, I can't help but feel relieved.
"In this march, Zilong and Meng Qi led the army to attack Youzhou; Bo Tao and I led the army to attack Bingzhou. Tian Yu, the guard of Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, is your majesty's old friends. Therefore, if you can persuade him to open the city and surrender, Yanmen Pass can go down in one fell swoop. Zhang Fei finally said, and everyone nodded and accepted.
Next, 150,000 troops left Longxi, then left Xiaoguan and then went to the outside of the fortress, and marched east until they were in a secluded place. The composition of this 150,000 troops is extremely complex, of which 50,000 are Xiliang iron riders under Ma Chao's command, and the remaining 100,000 people, of which about 20,000 are cavalry, were formed after Liu Bei occupied Guanzhong and confiscated Sima Yi's Guanzhong cavalry. From Cao Wei to Xia Houyuan to Liu Bei, there are only more than 20,000 left, which has always been led by Zhang Fei. The remaining about 80,000 soldiers are mixed troops formed by 50,000 Sichuan Army and 30,000 Guanzhong Army. It is precisely because the composition of this branch is extremely complex that Liu Bei sent so many generals to jointly lead this army with complex structure.
According to the comprehensive information of Zhuge Liang and others, now Cao's army has basically gone south, and the number of left-behind people in Youzhou and Bingzhou will not exceed tens of thousands. With the bravery of Zhang Fei and others, it is absolutely easy and pleasant to step on these two states, and even if it is not good, it can make a mess of its hinterland. After leaving Xiaoguan, the 150,000 troops went to Bingzhou and Youzhou. In the face of such a large-scale army, even if the Hu tribe on the grassland wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, they have to weigh their own weight.
It turns out that there are still people who don't have eyes. After leaving Xiaoguan, he marched for two days, and Zhang Ren of the rear army came to report that several vehicles of food and fodder had just been robbed by hundreds of cavalry.
"Can you see clearly what tribe the people come from?" Ma Chao asked, Zhang Ren shook his head. He soon lived outside the fortress, and the people ran away after grabbing. He didn't even say hello. Naturally, he didn't know. At this time, Zhang Fei rushed over to ask. He inquired about only a few trucks of food and fodder. He immediately curled his lips and said, "It's just a few trucks of food and fodder. Righteousness, I will immediately transfer some cavalry to take care of the food and fodder for you. Just be careful in the future." Zhang Renzi promised not to mention it.
"Three generals, these barbs are really abominable. Well, you go to attack Youzhou and Bingzhou. How about I lead a man here to play with them? Zhao Feng was also a little unhappy when he saw that Zhang Fei wanted to do so. Zhao Feng has always had a good impression on these grassland robbers. It's just that his suggestion at this time is really shocking.
"Bao, our top priority at the time is to attack Bingzhou and Youzhou. It's not too late to clean up these little things!" Zhang Fei was a little surprised that Zhao Feng was not interested in the plan of surprise attacks on Bingzhou and Youzhou. What he didn't know was that as a time traveler, he had no self-reliance ambition, and his biggest interest was naturally to expand his territory. Zhao Feng doesn't want to fight all his life, and it's all about civil war. That's why he worked so hard when he fought with the Vietnamese last time.
Now there are Zhang Fei in Bingzhou and Youzhou to attack. Even if they don't take action, they will definitely take it. In that case, why don't you stay here and compete with these barbarians? Seeing that Zhao Feng's expression was still eager to try, Zhang Fei knew that he would not give up easily. At present, he could only explain, "Now I'm waiting to march into Youzhou. If I stay here to compete with these barbarians, I will leave more. If I wait to attack Youhe, the troops will be insufficient. If I leave less, you can't win. It's better wait until Youzhou and Bingzhou are pacified. Let's plan!"
"Well, just let them be more arrogant!" Zhao Feng said reluctantly. Unexpectedly, Ma Dai smiled and said, "If Prince Zhao is unwilling, why don't I wait for tonight to clean up this little miscellaneous hair that just came to provoke us?"
"Zhong Hua, the big thing is important. I'd better go to Bingzhou first!" Ma Chao saw that his brother was also so excited and quickly scolded him. Unexpectedly, Ma Dai continued to say, "Brother, this is the boundary of the Xiongnu. I don't know which small tribe of the Xiongnu came to provoke us. Brother, you only need a thousand iron riders. Tonight, when everyone is sleeping, you can destroy him in one fell swoop!"
"A thousand iron riders?" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard the words. Fortunately, Ma Dai continued to explain: "If the Xiongnu cavalry enters, it will be the people, and if they fight, it will be the soldiers." Just now, the righteous general said that hundreds of them came to rob food and fodder. It was almost the only soldiers in the whole tribe. Tonight, I only need a thousand iron riders to raid these people's base camp at night and hit them all!"
"That's it!" Zhang Fei was a little excited when he heard the words. If the other party was really just a small group of thieves, just kill it. Seeing that everyone did not object, Zhang Fei agreed, "In this case, it's too late today. I'll camp here and track you with 2,000 iron riders. Whether you can find it or not, you must come back and meet us early in the morning. If the other party has a lot of people, don't touch it, okay?"
"The young general understands!" Ma Dai replied with a smile, and then turned his head to Zhao Feng and said, "Prince Zhao, will you go with me?"
"Go together!" Zhao Feng quickly agreed to joke about such an interesting thing as killing and arson. How could he go differently? It's just that the answer is really a little spoof, which reminds him of the revolutionaries written by a literary tycoon in his previous life.
"Mama, is this boy so interested in killing and arson?" Looking at Zhao Feng, who left with Ma Dai, Zhang Fei also muttered, but he remembered in his heart that his son told himself how "ferocious" Zhao Feng was in Jiaozhou. Zhang Fei didn't believe it before, but now he believes it.
"Zhong Hua, can you know where these guys have gone?" Zhao Feng asked uncertainly. He led 2,000 iron cavalry with Ma Dai, and of course he was tracked by Ma Dai. It's just that the hundreds of people ran away after grabbing the food. Who knows where they have gone?
"Don't worry, my lord, these people have run away, but the horseshoe prints on the ground are still there. I guess I can catch up with it in a little more time at most. Ma Dai is full of confidence.
"No need for an hour, it's already here!" Zhao Feng suddenly said, and Ma Dai also saw it. On the horizon ahead, a group of tents appeared, surrounded by a circle of wooden fences, which looked like a tribe inhabited by the Hu people.
A few more steps closer, only to find that there are still more than a dozen big cars being pushed into the tribe. That big car seems to be very familiar, and it is definitely its own big car.
"There's nothing to say about the stolen goods. Give it to me!" With Zhao Feng's order, 2,000 iron riders rushed to the tribe. The other party had found this army just now. Although something was in a hurry, it still rushed up to fight.
