Chapter 331 The Bank of the Yellow River
The Yellow River is one of the four rivers. The four rivers are the rivers, Jingwei, and the name is the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Jingchuan, and Weishui.
The rivers are clear and turbid, and the rivers are clearly divided.
Since the birth of this world, the years and months between them have been immeasurable, but the four rivers, such as the sun and the moon, are always running through them, nourishing the infinite creatures in this world.
In this world, the sun and the moon will alternate, and the stars will rotate, but the four rivers, rivers, Jingwei and Wei Rivers, have remained unchanged forever. Therefore, in this world, the ten thousand miles of territory of the Han Empire, which was penetrated by the four rivers and was nourished by the water of the four rivers, is called the Central Plains, which means that the wilderness that resides in the world is the most center of the world.
The Yellow River travels from west to east, forming a few lines of land in the Central Plains, separating the Central Plains. Outside the Yellow River, it is the fiefs of the major princes, and within the Yellow River is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the richest place of Sili.
Behind Sili are bitter and cold places such as Youge. When you cross the Youge, you are the unparalleled enemy of the Han Empire and the Huns.
In other words, once there is a loss in the border areas, Chang'an where the emperor is located will be the front line facing the Huns.
The Huns, Youbing, Sili, Yellow River, and later, the territories of the major princes formed a straight line.
Although Taipan traveled straight from Chang'an to the Yellow River, it took a full five days.
Four days after the cold dew, Taipan set out from Chang'an and five more days before reaching the bank of the Yellow River. At this time, it was almost time for frost to descend.
The imperial army and the seven kings' army were opposite each other from a distance through the rolling Yellow River.
After Yuan Ang arrived on the bank of the Yellow River, one was to avoid disturbing the people, and the other was to avoid being scouted by the Seven Kings, and to see the reality of the army clearly. Therefore, after arriving on the bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Ang led his army to set up a new camp by the water. A total of 50,000 troops were all included in the camp, except for a small number of scouts who explored horses, and the rest were all included in the camp, practicing day and night.
Whenever the army of Seven Kings crossed the river, Yuan Ang would personally lead the army to face the battle. After more than 30 days of reaching the bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Ang had experienced twelve battles of all sizes and big things. Through these twelve wars, Yuan Ang had already captured all the morale of the army.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack on the bank of the Yellow River. On the bank of the Yellow River, there are waves rolling, and there is no enemy. If you want to cross the river, it is like an adventure of life and death, not to mention that now it is in front of the army. The seven kings and one side of the army are storming and slalom. After getting off the water, the Han army has already received the news and then led the army to greet them.
Therefore, since the war started, although the army of Seven Kings has an absolute advantage in military strength, in the twelve battles of crossing the river, each battle of the Seven Kings, one side of the Seven Kings, was unable to find the result.
In the only three times, although some soldiers successfully stepped onto the other side of the Yellow River, under the strangle of the army, these soldiers who were lucky enough to cross the Yellow River were quickly cleaned up.
Because of this, the leader and initiator of the rebellion, Liu Bi, the King of Wu, had already become angry several times these days, and several generals in the army were also killed. Therefore, the morale of the seven kings at this time was also somewhat declining.
However, despite this, the soldiers of the Seven Kings still had infinite confidence in the victory of the war.
When Taipan arrived, it happened that the Seven Kings had once again conducted another tentative crossing of the Yellow River. Dozens of ships sailed slowly towards the other end of the Yellow River, and under the waves of the Yellow River, they were difficult to adjust their direction.
The ship-handling people were obviously good at it. Dozens of ships, both big and small, long and short. The soldiers and horse-resisting horses on the ships were also different, but the dozens of ships were lined up in a straight line on the vast waves of the Yellow River.
On this end of the Yellow River, the imperial army had already received news. Yuan Ang and more than 7,000 people lined up to meet the dock. In front of the army, dozens of cultivators were patrolling back and forth, so as not to have cultivators from the seven kings. When the army crossed, they used secret techniques to condense water into ice, painted soil as stones, and set up several piers on the bank of the Yellow River that could temporarily stop and asked the army to land.
When the dozens of ships were about to reach the heart of the river, Yuan Ang also waved his hand in front of the army, and then more than a thousand archers walked forward and pulled the big bow in their hands.
After two or three breaths, dense arrows drew an arc on the dome like locusts, covering dozens of ships on the middle of the river, which were more than a hundred feet away from the shore.
Each arrow was wrapped with oil-soaked cloth strips.
The ship was in the middle of the river, and only after traveling more than ten feet apart, three waves of arrows were shot out from the bows and arrows on the shore.
At this time, the level of the ship operators on dozens of ships also showed obvious heights. The high-level ones were still the host ships, and were stuck to most of them, but those who were slightly inferior were separated from the large army while avoiding arrows, and slowly deflected towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River under the erosion of the waves.
As for the soldiers on the ship, they were very experienced in treating these arrows. When the arrows fell, each soldier was extremely skillful. He raised the shield in his hand or hid in the cabin. Therefore, after three waves of arrows, the dozens of ships, the sideways and canvas were filled with arrows, but the soldiers who died on the arrows were almost gone.
Seeing this, on the river bank, both Yuan Ang and the soldiers were used to it.
After another six rounds of arrows were shot out, the ships in the river were less than fifty feet away from the shore. They had good eyesight and could even see each other's cold faces at a distance of fifty feet.
When an extremely powerful arrow shot down from the ship crossing the Yellow River towards Yuan Ang's face, and was then pushed away by the guards behind Yuan Ang, another flag fell in Yuan Ang's hand.
So, the more than a thousand archers who came forward also replaced the hands of brand new arrows. The arrows of each arrow were flashing with white light, and there was a slight warmth flowing in the light.
"Apat?" Looking at the white arrow from afar, Tai Pan's brow also frowned slightly - no wonder the nine rounds of arrow rains in the previous period had no results. Yuan Ang, who was in charge of the war, was not in a hurry at all.
The previous nine rounds of arrow rain were just foreshadowing, and the last round of arrow rain was the real killer move.
These arrows were stained with apat.
Apat is a very special mineral in this world. It is usually accompanied by red copper veins. Its internal fire flows and does not dissipate for many years. It is mostly used to cause fire. With a little friction, the flame will suddenly rise.
The previous nine rounds of arrow rain were wrapped in oil cloth and scattered on the ship. The arrow rain kept stopping, and the soldiers naturally had no chance to take down the oil cloth. At this time, if the arrows stained with apatat passed by in the sky, when they fell, the apatat on the arrow had turned into open flames. Then when they encountered the oil cloth, the dozens of ships turned into a sea of fire in an instant. The soldiers, soldiers, and weapons among the ships, naturally disappeared and turned into nothing.
"Yuan Ang, this birdman!" Of course, the white light shining on the arrows on the shore could not be hidden from the soldiers on the ship. Therefore, the moment the archers on the river bank pulled their longbows, the young general in the ship was already an angry man and shouted.
"What are you waiting for? You can't clean up the arrow oil cloth quickly?"
"The arrows still have a chance to fall, but if the ship catches fire, then all of you and me will fall under the water and turn into fish food." With this scolding, the ship was also very fast. Some soldiers came out with big shields and pulled out the arrows nailed to the ship one by one. However, these bows and arrows were thrown down from high to bottom at a distance of dozens of feet, and the momentum was extremely strong. Each arrow was deeply plunged into the ship, and the cloth strips on the arrows were also rolled into the gap. These soldiers carried the big shield in one hand and held the arrows in the other hand. They were anxious and could not pull them out!
"Idiot, one person raises a shield and one person takes an arrow!" When the young general's voice sounded, the arrows with white light flashed through the air, and then turned into countless rains of fire and fell towards the dozens of ships.
In just a moment, there was a faint flame rising from the ships, and at this time, the soldiers who put out the fire no longer had to worry about raising their shields.
So, the eleventh wave of arrow rain fell. After the arrow rain, the soldiers who put out the fire on the ship went five or six miles to the ten stops, and the rest were all injured.
"Transfer, return."
"All soldiers, prepare to jump ship, don't ruin my Wu Yue man's name!" After the fire on the ship was extinguished, he looked at him.
