Unsurprisingly, the already fragile pontoon bridge was destroyed, and many soldiers on the pontoon bridge either fell into the water, or were set on fire, resulting in countless casualties!
Gao Huan quickly ordered the Wei soldiers on both sides of the strait to set up their crossbows and fight back.
However, when they were ready to intercept the water army, the other party fled away and disappeared down the river!
For three days in a row, Gao Huan's army competed with that navy army for control of Lishui here!
The two armies are building the pontoon bridge while they are attacking the pontoon bridge.
But in the end, Gao Huan was discouraged. He really didn't have time to play a game of "slapping flies" with a navy army of Liang Jun in this place where there was no village or shop behind.
If you lose, you will never recover, and if you win, there is nothing to praise, and you still can't get rid of the current predicament.
So he ordered Zhang Baoluo, who had already crossed the river, to go to Ruyang to meet him, while Gao Huan himself led the other tribes to go north along the Lishui River to the small town of Shaoling.
This is the nearest city along the Lishui River, and Gao Huan had been there before when he attacked Qiluo City, so it should still be under the control of his army.
The current battle situation can be described as terrible. The only good thing is that Ruyang, Shaoling and other places are still stationed by the Wei army.
Although Wei Jun could not control the criss-crossing rivers in that area at all, he still controlled the city defense!
It should, probably so.
Gao Huan was not sure, but the hope in his heart was still not shattered.
Five days later, the army's rations were at the bottom, and Gao Huan decisively ordered to kill horses to satisfy his hunger. He continued to go northward along the Lishui River, and finally arrived near Shaoling City.
Why do you say it is nearby?
Because Shaoling City is on the east bank of Lishui River, and Gao Huan's trilogy is on the west bank of Lishui River.Going around, still can't get around this pass.
Liang Jun's navy sent several boats to cruise the nearby river, which seemed to be warning Gao Huan: Don't cross the river, as long as you cross the river, we will hit you with all hands and feet!
So Gao Huan had no choice but to order people to go to the west to find Modolo Jingxian's trilogy, and let him move closer to him.They also sent people to cross the Lishui quietly to find Zhang Baoluo, and told Zhang Baoluo to turn around and go west, and enter Shaoling City first!
Modolo Jingxian was arriving at the ruins of Qiluo City unimpeded at this time, without encountering any siege and interception along the way, even though the banner he played looked like the main force of the army.
Mo Dolou respectfully looked at the Qiluo city that was destroyed by the flood, and sighed with emotion.If the city is still there, maybe they can really escape to Hebei.
However, there is nothing now, and Liang Jun is not fooled into chasing him. Although the young and vigorous Modolo Jingxian is not afraid of the danger of the battle, he does not know how to deal with such a complicated military situation.
After receiving the letter from Gao Huan's messenger, he resolutely marched eastward and joined Gao Huan as if he had received an amnesty.With the support of Modolo Jingxian's soldiers and horses, Gao Huan once again forcibly crossed the Lishui, but was once again blocked by the Liang Guoshui army.
This time, Hu Sengyou used two thunderbolts!Two big pits full of severed arms and limbs were left behind in Gao Huan's army!
However, because of cognitive problems, Gao Huan suffered a big loss here.
It happened to be spring when Wei Jun first attacked Qiluo City, and the water had not yet fully risen. He sent people to investigate. Try to wade across the river.
But at this time, at the turn of spring and summer, the water level is the highest. The upper reaches of the Lishui are wide and the lower reaches are narrow, so it is easy to store water. At this time, the water level has already reached the top of the head.Wei Jun was on the west bank but couldn't enter if he wanted to enter, and couldn't retreat if he wanted to retreat. It was a short distance from Shaoling City, but he couldn't enter the city!
In a rage, Gao Huan ordered his soldiers to fill in soil to block the river, trying to forcefully cut off the river and make a way out.It was obviously impossible for Hu Sengyou to let Gao Huan cross the river smoothly, so he tried his best to interfere with him with his bow and crossbow.
The two parties have repeatedly fought for control of this section of Lishui.
One side wants to block the river, and the other side wants to harass; one side has a large number of people, and the other side has firearms;The Eastern Wei army was far outnumbered by Hu Sengyou's naval army. The Liang army must not be head-to-head, and could only harass.
A few days later, Zhang Baoluo led troops into Shaoling City and sent people to ambush Hu Sengyou's navy on the east bank.Seeing that nothing could be done, Hu Sengyou took a group of navy ships northward to Xihua City.
Xihua City is a city on the bank of Yingshui River.The water army blocked the Yingshui, so the Wei army could not lead the troops to Changsha by water, and it was useless to occupy Ruyang.
With the help of Zhang Baoluo, Gao Huan struggled to settle in Shaoling City.Then, he got some terribly bad news.
The first bad news is that there is nothing in Shaoling City. After Liang Jun conquered Shaoling, he emptied all the things inside, and then left here.The granary is so empty that the mice in it can have a sports meeting!
The second bad news is that Ruyang City was captured by Zhao Gui's troops. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Baoluo led his troops back, not following the orders of Gao Huan's messenger.Otherwise, wait for Gao Huan's messenger to go before leaving, I'm afraid Gao Huan is still on the west bank of Lishui.
The third bad news is that all the surrounding rivers have been blocked by the Liang Jun navy, including the Changde navy (as Gao Huan's old opponent, their flags have been recognized).I don't know how many people there are in total, but the navy ships can be said to block out the sky, and it is impossible to count how many there are.
The worst news is that the army has completely run out of food.
Now even a fool can see that Liu Yishou has compiled a big net in Henan and prepared a huge trap, which has already trapped the tens of thousands of plays under Gao Huan's command!
At present, the noose has not been tightened, and Gao Huan still has the strength to struggle.
But how long can this struggle last?
From Gao Huan down, everyone in Wei Jun was overshadowed.
Chapter 617 Please draw a life and death lottery
To the north of Shaoling, there is a river called Dalishui, which was excavated by Cao Pi in the past, and it is a canal for transporting troops and food.
Also known as the Qulu Canal, it connects the Ru River, Ying River, and Li River.The strategic position in the past was very important, but it was only in the past.
The geographical location adjacent to the Dali River made Shaoling an important town in Henan for a while.
But Shaoling, which prospered because of water, also declined because of water.With the silting of the Dali River, Shaoling also lost its strategic position back then.Henan has changed owners countless times in the past few hundred years, and naturally no one is willing to expend effort and thankless efforts to dredge the river.
However, although boats on the Dali River are easy to run aground, some areas are seriously silted up.However, it is not easy to cross the river!
Gao Huan didn't pay attention when he came, but when he was about to run away, he realized that the Dali River and other rivers were like a rope binding Shaoling City tightly.
It is surrounded by east, west, north and three sides, leaving only the land road to the south.
To put it simply, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped in Shaoling City and the surrounding area (the city is small, and all the soldiers and horses cannot enter).It's hard to tell if this place was handpicked!
"Let's talk about it, how can we solve this crisis?"
At the head of Shaoling City, Gao Huan looked around the generals and asked in a deep voice, looking at the soldiers of the Wei army sitting on the ground who were too hungry to move.
"In the northwest of Shaoling, on the banks of the Yingshui River, there is a city called Fanchang. There should not be many Liang army stationed there. As long as you cross the Dali River and break through the siege of the Liang army, you can get here. Other routes are desperate, Wang Gaowang think twice .”
Zhang Baoluo cupped his hands and said, he seemed to have seen through Liang Jun's tricks. Liang Jun was just luring them to attack Ruyang City, but there was an ambush on all sides!
The trick of crossing the river seems to be a toss, but it is actually the only way out.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Yishou is in the "Siege of the Three Conquers", and no one can say exactly how.
Although you can predict, I can also see through your prediction, and thus predict your prediction.
The infinite cycle of dolls is endless, everyone is guessing the size, and there can never be a perfect answer.
"What do you think?"
Gao Huan looked back at Xue Guyan and the others and asked.
"I am willing to die for King Gao!"
All the generals said in unison.
"Let's go get ready, and forcefully cross the Dali River tomorrow morning!"
The Dali River has been abandoned for a long time now, especially some sections of the river have been seriously silted up.
However, these silted areas are quite different from the imaginary "like walking on flat ground".
To some extent, its terrain is complicated and difficult to walk, even worse than those small rivers that have not yet passed the top of the head.
This made Gao Huan very dizzy!
First of all, the silt that silts up the river is very soft and loose, and it is impossible for people to stand on it, and many of them are even a mixture of mud and water.It is common for ordinary people to step on it, and it will sink in an instant. It is common for people who are unlucky to die directly.
Wanting to step on the ground directly is just a dream.
Secondly, the location where the river is silted up is very muddy and slippery.Although there is no way to get on the boat, even if someone can avoid getting stuck, it is impossible to move under such conditions.
Finally, the most important point is: not all parts of the silted river cannot be sailed, and some rivers are only half blocked!Coupled with the small warships in ancient China, the draft was very shallow, and even river ditches could barely pass.
Therefore, Wei Jun is not sure whether Liang Jun's small boats will appear on the Dali River.
Gao Huan guessed that this was probably still possible.Because in the battle to support Qiluo City, Wu Mingche's navy was guessed from the marching route. It is very likely that Wu Mingche's navy transferred from Yingshui to Rushui through Dalishui.
The river is not suitable for naval warfare, and whether it can pass through the ship is completely two concepts!
Therefore, Gao Huan didn't know if he could escape.But now he has no choice but to give it a go.
Wei Jun removed all the door panels, wall panels and other things that could be made of wood in Shaoling City, and connected them one by one with straw ropes.When the army "crossed the river", they spread these boards and other things on the mud.
In order to prevent the length of the pontoon bridge from being insufficient, they also cut down all the trees around Shaoling, tied the branches together and laid them flat for spare use.
When the sun is about to dawn, it is the most sleepy time for a person, and it is also the time when the spirit is the most relaxed.Xue Guyan, Gao Huan's subordinate, and his elite soldiers, took advantage of the fish-belly light from the sky, and carefully spread the interconnected wooden planks on the mud on the ground one by one.
The pioneer who crossed the river was laying planks while observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.
However, the expected ambush did not appear, but to Xue Guyan's surprise, the planks used to "pave the road" were not enough!
Xue Guyan quickly ordered his subordinates to move the branches that were bundled together, and then spread the branches on the ground, and only then did they reach the other side of the Dali River smoothly.
Thank goodness it's business as usual!
"Go back and send an order to King Gao that the whole army can start crossing the river."
Xue Guyan whispered to the soldiers.
"Here!" The soldiers took the order and left.
Soon, the soldier returned to the small town of Shaoling smoothly.
"Xue Guyan is very quick in handling things."
Seeing that Xue Guyan's personal soldiers returned smoothly, Gao Huan nodded slightly and sighed with relief.A good beginning is half the battle.Now that I can cross the river smoothly, it is no problem to go to Fanchang.
"The whole army begins to cross the river!"
Gao Huan looked around at the generals under his command and shouted.
"Follow the orders of the high king!"
On the top of the city, a group of generals knelt in front of Gao Huan.
With Xue Guyan exploring the way ahead, the marching speed of the follow-up troops was obviously much faster.Gao Huan had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of people were on the other side of the river.
"King Gao, I will escort you across the river."
Modolo Jingxian said to Gao Huan, holding up a shield attentively and walking in front of Gao Huan.
"Well, General Modolo has a heart."
Gao Huan nodded in relief, and did not pretend to be polite on this kind of matter.
So he asked Modolo Jingxian to take the lead, followed by himself, and under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, they went up to the pontoon bridge together.Both of them were wearing the military uniforms of ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers around them were also dressed in the same way, following in the team inconspicuously.
Just as the two of them walked more than halfway on the pontoon bridge and were about to reach the opposite bank, suddenly a spear was shot from somewhere on the river. shield, and then shot into his stomach.
Then the huge recoil brought it flying and nailed it in the mud not far away.Everything happened so quickly that the soldiers around Gao Huan didn't even have time to react!
Gao Huan's eyes widened in fright, and his whole body couldn't help but wobble!
Modolo Jingxian, who was still talking to him just now, was "sent into the soul" in a blink of an eye. Who would believe such a thing?
As the saying goes, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, it is really not nonsense!
Gao Huan turned his head to look at the direction where the spear was coming from. There was a warship of Liang Jun. Because the river was silted up and the draft was deep, he couldn't get close to the pontoon bridge. He had to shoot a crossbow to interfere with Wei Jun's crossing.
The soldiers operating the bed crossbow on the boat must have never imagined that they almost took Gao Huan away with their shot just now!Fortunately, when Modolo Jingxian was talking to Gao Huan, the two stopped and stopped for a step, and they happened to stagger their positions.
To some extent, Modolo Jingxian helped Gao Huan "block the gun"!
"King Gao, go ahead, you can't turn back now!"
The soldiers around Gao Huan shouted, pulling Gao Huan and running away.
Now behind them are the soldiers of the Wei army crossing the river. If Gao Huan turns around and returns to Shaoling, he will definitely be trampled into a pulp by the gangsters!The organization of the army is in chaos, who cares if you are the chief general!
Only by rushing through the big water desperately can we fight for a way out for ourselves!
In today's game, even a fool can understand that if you can't get through the big water, you will definitely die!You can only surrender obediently and give your life to the enemy!
"Rush! Run!"
Gao Huan yelled, but he didn't need to yell. The soldiers in front of him were already running wildly on the pontoon bridge. The spears shot by Liang Jun's bed crossbow were more than just the one just now!Many people, like Modolo Jingxian, were shot by the powerful spear and nailed to the mud in the river, unable to move.
"winter!"
The guard in front of Gao Huan had an arrow stuck into the shield he was holding!The speed couldn't help but slow down a few beats.This arrow was shot from the opposite bank, not the same group as those on the warship.
"Rush over, stop and die!"
Gao Huan roared angrily.
He said nonsense again, at this time Xue Guyan had already killed the Dugu Xinbu soldiers who had come to intercept Liang Jun.
But because there were less than a few thousand soldiers of the Wei army crossing the river, and they were all lightly armed and had no armor (too hungry to wear), so they suffered a big loss when they fought!
After all, they are fighting hungry!Even if you can barely support it, how brave can you be?
