Chapter 200 Deng Zhi(2/2)
It's the first day of September and the weather is getting colder...
After a night of light rain, the road became muddy. The march of the army became much slower. By noon, it had only traveled more than thirty miles.
Seeing this situation, Song Xian couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"Call to my general and the army will speed up."
"General, how can we go fast on this kind of road? Besides, Haixi has millions of dendrobiums of grain and grass, and they can't eat it all in one day. It's better to move slowly, because Haixi can't run away anyway."
Some of his followers tried to persuade Song Xian to slow down his march.
Unexpectedly, Song Xian was furious when he heard this, "Don't you know that soldiers are valuable and quick?
If I arrive one day earlier, Haixi will have one less day to prepare. Your Majesty and my troops do not want me to lose my troops and generals in a small place like Haixi."
Logically speaking, what Song Xian said is not wrong.
Soldiers are very fast. The earlier they arrive, the less resistance Haixi will have.
"But……"
"Needless to say, tell the men to attack Haixi and let them plunder for three days. Haixi County is said to be very wealthy now."
Xiapi is not far from Haixi County and is also in Huaibei.
How could the people of Xiapi not be aware of the changes in Haixi in the past year?
Not to mention the millions of grains and grasses, just the opening of the salt pipeline there attracted countless businessmen. Its wealth may not be inferior to that of Xiapi State back then. With Song Xian's plunder order, the six thousand army immediately As if they had been injected with chicken blood, they roared all the way and rushed towards Haixi. When it got dark, the army was far away from Quyang, only thirty miles away by swimming...
Across the river, it is under the rule of Haixi!
Youshui originates from Qushan in the East China Sea, runs north-south, flows through Quxian, Yilu and Haixi counties, and flows into the Huaihe River.
Haixi is located just downstream of the swimming pool and forms a natural barrier to the west of Haixi County. However, the swimming pool is not too wide and the river water is not too fast. In addition, the impact of sediment makes the river bed relatively high and the river water is not flowing smoothly.
It is deep. Crossing the river on foot can only reach the neck. The shallowest point is only half waist level. Previously, there were several wooden bridges on the river, but when Song Xian arrived, the bridges had been destroyed.
Looking at the gentle river flow, Song Xian couldn't help but smile.
He told Song Guang: "Deng Shusun is just an idiot, thinking that demolishing the bridge will prevent us from crossing the river.
But I don’t know that the water here is not deep. Even if the bridge is demolished, it will not stop my army from marching... After passing the order, the three armies crossed the river overnight and camped on the east bank of the river. They cooked food at Yin hour and ordered troops at Mao hour. After dawn, the three armies
Attack and defeat Haixi in one fell swoop."
"Here!"
Song Guang nodded repeatedly and stepped in immediately to answer the order.
In fact, Song Guang also harbored deep hatred for Cao Peng.
I remember that when Cao Peng went to Guangling and passed by Xuyi, he was really humiliated.
This also made Song Guang always hold a grudge. He originally wanted to create rumors so that Cao Peng could not gain a foothold in Guangling. But who would have thought that Cao Peng actually made friends with Chen Qun and other people, causing the rumors that Song Guang created to spread quickly.
It will destroy itself without attacking and disappear into smoke.
Now, Cao Peng has been appointed as Hailing Lieutenant.
Although he is not as good as Song Guang in terms of character, his actual power...
If Song Xian was hostile to Cao Peng, then Song Guang was jealous of Cao Peng.
Being able to attack Haixi this time was also a good opportunity for Song Guang to take revenge. So he seemed extremely excited along the way.
Following Song Xian's order, the army began to cross the river.
The topography of Haixi is high in the west and low in the east. After crossing the swimming pool, the east bank is a low river beach.
However, Song Guang still felt a little strange.
Because the water here seems to be much shallower than usual. I waded across the river on foot, and the water only reached my crotch. You know, normally the river here would be at least waist-deep.
"Uncle, this year's swimming seems to be much shallower than in previous years."
Song Xian stood on a high point on the west bank of the river, urging soldiers and horses to cross the river.
The crossing of the river went very smoothly this time. Most of the soldiers and horses had already crossed the river and began to set up camps on the river beach on the east bank. On the west bank of the river, there were mostly transport vehicles. At first, Song Xian didn't pay much attention, but he just felt a little strange.
But after hearing Song Guang's reminder, Song Xian's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Yes, the river seems too shallow...
It just rained yesterday. Logically speaking, the river water cannot be so shallow.
After all, he is an eight-strong general. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, Song Xian still has some value in following Lu Bu in his expeditions...
He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Evacuate the river beach immediately, evacuate the river beach immediately."
The soldiers on the east bank of the river were busy setting up camp. At the same time, the baggage vehicles were slowly moving towards the other side of the river. Song Xian's frantic shouting made the soldiers suddenly confused... It didn't mean that they were setting up camp on the river beach.
, attack after dawn?
Why do you suddenly have to evacuate the river beach again!
However, military orders are overwhelming. Since the general has orders, the soldiers naturally obey them.
However, at this moment, the east bank of the river beach suddenly became chaotic with people shouting and neighing. Many people did not even understand what was going on and started to move in a hurry.
At this moment, from the hills on the east bank of the river, a song soared into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a series of whistles echoed over the swimming pool, one after another, continuously.
Song Xian's face turned aside, and he was busy preparing to give the order to speed up the evacuation. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang coming from the north... The sound was like a huge thunder, echoing endlessly. Song Xian listened in the direction of the loud noise, only to
There was a rumble, like thousands of horses galloping, and the ground trembled. The river water surged in an instant. From the upper reaches of the swimming pool, a torrent surged forward with the force of thunder...
"Water attack!"
Song Xian roared: "Run quickly, the entire army evacuates!"
