6. Compete in the Xiaoan River

On Gao Gang, Du Ya, who was sitting next to Du Huangshang, said that we had been caught by Wu Shaocheng's treacherous plan. When he saw that the elite troops of the official army were in Linying, he sent an elite main force to take advantage of the situation and take the lead in Dongdu.

"If the Dongdu imperial capital is located, if it is captured by Wu Shaocheng's army, we will not be able to atone forever. Please give up crossing Xiaoqian River and return to the Dongdu to help." Du Yadao immediately spoke.

Du Huangshang was very calm and did not move under the flag and umbrella cover. "The Huaixi Mule Soldiers walked on Tongbai. The mountain paths in Fangcheng must not be large. They just arrived in Xiangcheng and had not even arrived in Ruzhou yet. What should we talk about seizing the Dongdu? We should not be at a loss if we stayed at the back. The most urgent thing is to cross Xiaoqi River and attack Lingyunzha and Yancheng. Where is the main force of Cai thieves, and don't lose the big ones because of small things."

Seeing Du Huangshang staying solemnly, the entire camp became stable.

Then Du Huangshang pointed loudly at the winding little noodle river on the south side of Longgangang, "All the generals and soldiers, those who cross the river first will be rewarded!"

Dozens of drums were immediately beaten to the sky and earth. The officials and troops under the command of Du Huangshang all advanced to the bank of Xiaoqian River, which lasted for more than ten miles. After seeing the shields and oars on the other side, there were Cai's camps and flags in turn, so hesitantly watched each other.

"Today, those who advance will be rewarded, and those who fail to advance will be killed." Du Huangshang finished speaking, and asked the military commanders of each army to stand up and monitor in order with paper and pen. "At sunset, if you still have to patrol and not go forward, you will be demoted to Sima, the military commanders of each army as stated in the previous order, according to the rules mentioned by the old man in Gaotang in advance."

At this time, General Liu Chang, the Shenwei general, turned around and shouted: "The magistrate is as heavy as Mount Tai, you must follow him. Chang first crosses the river."

After saying that, Liu Chang rode his horse and jumped into the rolling Xiaobai River, then whipped hard and moved forward.

"The Divine Power Army is the first!" Although Zhang Wanfu was seventy years old, he wrapped the felt blanket in his armor, raised his phoenix-mouthed knife, and followed Liu Chang and rode his horse into the river.

Linghu Jian also rode his horse into the water, and then the cavalry of the Shenwei Army shouted and cheered and entered Xiaoqi River one after another.

The chain effect came, and a young general named Wang Pei from Zhongwu Army also shouted: "My husband will be famous today." Then he was the first to jump into the river.

Qu Huan, the governor of Zhongwu Army, took the opportunity to motivate the soldiers, "The court will use the army for a thousand days for a while, if it is useless for a long time, how can it be faced with the Holy Lord?"

So the cavalry of Zhongwu Army also crossed the river one after another.

Shi Wanqing, the Longxiang Army’s military commander, and Yan Zichu, the governor of Zhenyi Army, also rushed to cross the river.

Suddenly, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed into the waves, and various armored battle flags were like flowers floating in the water, trekking in groups of arrows, while infantry followed closely behind, rushing towards the opposite shore.

Ding Huaijin, the defensive general in Xiaoqihe, did not dare to make a stubborn block. He just fired a series of arrows and led the wanderers to retreat into Lingyunzha in panic.

"What, Ding Huaijin lets the government army cross the Xiaoqi River, which is outrageous. Even if he can't defeat, he should have informed the other troops to fight to the death. He is so timid and will never forgive him!" Wu Shaocheng, who learned that the government army had successfully crossed the river in Yancheng, was furious and asked Fang Ye, the gun general guarding Lingyunzha, to arrest Ding Huaijin and prepare to be punished.

However, at this time, a huge beacon fire ignited at the beacon in the south of the city.

Then Wu Shaocheng saw a more desperate scene:

The Daqi River, about one mile away from the enemy platform in the south of the city, countless boats and ships rolled in front and tail. These were the soldiers and horses under Gao Yue, with 16,000 infantry and cavalry. When the boats covered the water and were adjacent to the shore, they looked like temporary barriers. Then the cavalry occupied the important land in front first, the infantry of the rear ship went down first, the infantry of the front ship went down later, and then the rear was followed by the Daqi River and began to build camp forts in a normal manner.

Wu Shaocheng's head was shaking. He felt that something inside was getting more and more swelling and was about to burst out immediately.

Li Yuanping's face was no longer shy now.

"I don't know if there is any official army in Cai..." After a long time, Wu Shaocheng asked this question with anger.

He was right. Fan Xichao had five thousand infantry and cavalry. After conquering Shenqiu, he was really attacking Shangcai along the Xiao Ru River.

There is a zone in Shangcai called Huiqu. There is also a bridge called Xingqiao in Huiqu. It is built on the Rushui River. If this place is lost, the passage between Yancheng and Runan City will be cut off.

That is to say, Wu Shaocheng was going to retreat and had to be buried in Yancheng.

Faced with Wu Shaocheng's questioning, Li Yuanping's teeth were fighting, and his thoughts were shaken violently:

There are two roads, one is to defend Yancheng, and the various officials have arrived, Yancheng will soon be surrounded and will be unable to fly; Wu Shaocheng and him will be able to get wings;

Another thing is that while the official army had not yet completely surrounded Yancheng, the light cavalry escaped, rushed to Huiquxing Bridge, and fled back to Runan. However, this problem was that all the elites were thrown into Yancheng. Not to mention the loss of the entire family, their reputation in Huaixi would be gone. Moreover, when they arrived in Runancheng, they would only go from one desperate situation to another. They could not last long and eventually died.

At most, it is the difference between dying with pain and dying with breathing.

In the sunset, Li Yuanping's face turned pale and suddenly vomited blood at Wu Shaocheng.

At this time, he finally felt that before the general trend of history, he had exhausted his wisdom and was still a small existence, and he was still inevitably crushed.

Wu Shaocheng trembled his lips and looked at him.

Finally, Li Yuanping knelt down, held the mercenary, and admitted mercilessly:

"I've already planned to be exhausted."

Wu Shaocheng looked up at this moment and was deeply moved.

"If you die, I wish to die with my family in Runan City." After crying, Wu Shaocheng lowered his head, leaned on his sword, and said in a devastating manner.

Li Yuanping leaned on the ground limply. He understood Wu Shaocheng's thoughts. In short, everything was over.

At sunset, Liu Yihuai from Xuanwu Army also crossed the Xiaoshang River and went to Xiaying in the northeast of Yancheng.

Du Huangshang, who was supervising the battle, sent his judge Kong Chaofu to the city of Yan and asked to see Wu Shaocheng.

Kong Chaofu brought an ultimatum from the court, asking Wu Shaocheng not to make unnecessary resistance and surrender quickly.

In addition, Kong Chao's father also negotiated on behalf of Gao Yue that if Wu Shaocheng could send the wife and four children of Xingzhou Governor Yang Yuanqing safely out of the city and bring it back to him, and peacefully give it to Yancheng. Then the court would allow Wu Shaocheng and others to go to the guest province for free, and the court ministers would discuss the crime, and the official army would guarantee that nothing would harm the people of Shen Guangcai and the soldiers would be harmed.

At this time, Wu Shaocheng, who was sitting on the mat, had completely turned into a despicable and cruel beast. He drew his sword and said to Kong Chaofu: "The treacherous minister Gao Yue is in charge of the country, and he framed the important town of the vassal state. How can the whole Wu clan be the end of the eggs? Since he knew that he would die, he would not be too late to die after killing the angel, you and Yang Yuanqing's wife and children."

Kong Chaofu was shocked, and all the Huaixi generals present were shocked. Many people knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that Kong Chaofu was a descendant of the saint and was an imperial envoy of the court. If the emperor killed him, Huaixi would probably not have any tiles or gravel in the future.
