Chapter 999: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Twenty-Three)

Nine cables spanned the Liuhao River, stretching from Hutou's eyes to the other side of the river in the distance. He stretched out his hand to pluck the tight ropes, and Hutou chuckled, "Swim across the river, cross the river by boat, take a raft." I have never flown across a river like this before. I have a taste of it today. Brothers, follow me!"

Tiger Tou held an iron rope in his hand, and two wooden sticks were tightly twisted on both ends of the iron rope. Tiger Tou tightened the equipment on his body, put the iron rope on the cable in the air, and pressed his feet hard on the ground. With a push and a squeak, the whole person quickly slid down the cable slightly inclined to the other side, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

The general took the lead, and even though the others were a little nervous, they could not allow anyone to back down. One by one, the soldiers slid towards the other side along the nine cables.

Mu Qiu stared at the cables in the air nervously, looking back from time to time to look at the ropes that were firmly tied to several boulders in the distance, fearing that if one of them broke, the Red Turban soldier hanging above would be damaged. If you want to lower dumplings, it would be difficult to do so without dying at this height.

A huge figure quickly approached from a distance with a roar, and in a blink of an eye it was on top of his head. As soon as the opponent's hand loosened, it fell down with a thud. Below it were some branches and thatch that Mu Qiu and the others had temporarily found. .

Mu Qiu came over to take a look and was surprised: "General Tiger Head, why is it you?"

"Damn it, can't you make the floor thicker?" Hutou cursed and got up from the ground, touching his butt and saying, "It almost fell into four pieces?"

"We don't have enough manpower." Mu Qiu lowered his head sadly.

Tiger Head rolled his eyes and looked at the other two scouts around him, "There are only three of you."

Mu Qiu nodded sadly, "There are only three of us left. I'm afraid everyone else is gone."

Hutou was stunned for a moment, "Damn it, Zhao Yi'an's idea has ruined a dozen of my outstanding warriors. If we still can't win this battle, I will twist off his head and use it as a chamber pot."

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure fell into the haystack with a cry.

"Of course we can win, we will definitely win." The one who climbed up from the haystack was Zhao Yian, whom Hu Tou had just scolded, and he was the second to come.

"I'm sorry, let's go find some more grass and put the branches under it so as not to hurt the brothers behind." Tiger Head waved his big hand and trotted towards the woods in the distance.

By the time it was dawn, all three thousand tiger warriors had crossed the Liuhao River. Although they had been careful, dozens of people still missed and fell in the middle of the river, and dozens of others failed to control themselves when they landed. Speed, more or less wounded, could no longer fight.

Looking at the three thousand tiger soldiers who were ready to go, Hu Tou chuckled, "Brothers, this time we are going deep alone. If we can't win, there is only death." He swung his sword suddenly, and there was a loud bang, and the people around him were killed. One of the cables was cut off, and then the other soldiers around him waved their axes and cut off the other cables one by one. Watching these cables fall into the river, Hutou said sternly: "There is no way to retreat." , no victory or defeat, let’s go!”

There was a roar, and the embankment defended by the Qi army seemed to be shaking with the loud noise. Some soldiers stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. The unlucky ones rolled down the embankment like bones. , below the river embankment, are the red scarf soldiers who are attacking.

Just as Wang Pei expected, a night of heavy rain caused the water flow of the Liuhao River to rise significantly, reaching below the river embankment. The tidal flats that previously blocked the enemy no longer existed. The Red Scarf Army made changes to the wooden rafts. The front part of a wooden raft was sharpened. These wooden rafts came along the water and hit the river embankment heavily. The sharp stakes in front were deeply penetrated into the river embankment, providing a safe place for the attacking red scarf soldiers. Provides a place to stay.

Wave after wave of red scarf soldiers attacked bravely and without fear of death. On the river bank for more than ten miles, there were fierce shouts of killing, the clash of weapons, and the screams of dying. Wang Pei has already taken out all the troops in his hand, but on the river embankment that is more than ten miles long, every point seems to be very weak. The Red Turban Army seems to be alone, and not only the Red Turban Army The leader of the army, Gaotang Hou Baicheng, personally commanded. His generals Wei Zhiwen and another Liu Dadao (Hengdao) went into battle shirtless and fought in person. These two people came to the front line in person, which greatly boosted the morale of the Red Scarf Army. Wang Pei had already The left and right were in dire straits, trying hard to maintain the line of defense from being breached.

"As expected, he is indeed a famous general of Qi State, a famous figure!" On the other side, Bai Yucheng stared at the fierce fighting scene on the other side and couldn't help but praise, "In such a situation, we can actually hold the battle line firmly and let us not be defeated. Not cheap at all, awesome, awesome.”

"They are at the end of their fight." Wang Yan, who was beside him, came over and said with a smile: "Wang Pei has a powerful Bai Houye. From the looks of it, they can at most last a little while."

Bai Yucheng smiled and did not answer Wang Yan. Calculating the time, if everything goes well, the tiger head should appear. The appearance of the tiger head is doomed to Wang Pei's defeat. He probably never dreamed that his army would be defeated. Can thousands of soldiers be transported across the river through Luoniao Cliff? Of course, Wang Yan didn't know this.

After Song Boxuan returned to Gaotang, he resumed his post as a stay-at-home officer. Wang Yan could only be second-in-command, but Wang Yan knew one thing wisely, that is, he would tie himself tightly to Bai Houye's chariot. Bai Houye said For him, it was more effective than the royal order from the court. His attitude naturally won the strong support of Bai Yucheng. With a strong backer behind him, Wang Yan naturally used all his methods to deal with Song Boxuan who returned to Gaotang. , Poor Song Boxuan was not Wang Yan's opponent. In less than a month, he was ignored again and became a clay statue in the court. Under the rule of Gaotang, everyone knew that Wang Yan was the deputy, but Song Boxuan was not the one who stayed behind. Sir, what Deputy Wang Liushou told us must be done. Is Song Liushou going to do it? Hey, it depends on your mood. Of course, you should ask Deputy Wang Liushou first if he should do it or not?

Wang Yan came here this time to escort grain and fodder. Originally, he, the deputy left-behind, did not need to do this work himself, but this was a great opportunity to show his loyalty and efficiency. How could he not come? And if you wander around the battlefield, you will have such a small share of the credit in the future! He has been dating Bai Yucheng for a long time, and he has discovered that the temper of this marquis, as long as you listen to him and do things in an efficient manner, He is extremely generous.

When he arrived at Bai Yucheng's camp, he unexpectedly saw the old man Chen Dai who was left behind in Jimo. This old man was very famous, much more famous than Song Boxuan, but what he saw was a man who was tied up with five flowers and his mouth was stuffed. There was a dirty old man lying on the ground with a dirty piece of skin. He was shocked and couldn't help but remind Bai Yucheng of the old man's status in Qi State. Bai Yucheng gave him a cold look. , he immediately changed his words and said that the old man was old and disrespectful, and that he was a thief because he was old and immortal. Chen Dai, who was on the ground, rolled his eyes in anger.

In fact, at first, Bai Yucheng was prepared to treat Mr. Chen Dai with courtesy. No matter what reputation he had, after all, he was so old and respected the old and loved the young. Unexpectedly, when the old man saw Bai Yucheng, he actually mentioned The soldiers began to attack Jimo. First, their persuasion failed, and then they started to curse. However, Bai Yucheng was not Tian Fucheng. He was so annoyed by the scolding that he immediately ordered a rope to tie up the ignorant guy, and then blocked his mouth. No After killing him with one knife, Bai Yucheng had already restrained himself a lot. With his violent temper when he was a horse bandit, how could he endure the anger of such a rotten old man?

The war on the other side was still in a stalemate. Bai Yucheng looked up at the sky from time to time. It was going to rain again, and the black clouds in the sky seemed to be heavy at any time.

Wang Pei felt something bad in his heart. The Red Scarf Army's movements today were a bit abnormal. In the past, if the attack reached this level, the opponent would basically withdraw his troops. But today, the attack was high and far, and the opponent's wooden platoon was blocked. One after another, they almost reached the center of the river. They used ropes to connect the rafts together, and laid wooden piles around them. They actually built a platform on the river. A steady stream of soldiers were drawn from the other side. Transport it over and deliver it to the battlefield.

There must have been some oversight on his part, Wang Pei thought in his mind, but after carefully recalling his deployment in this war, there was no oversight.

"General, it's not good!" A tooth general ran up from behind the embankment panting with a pale face. The look of panic on his face made Wang Pei's heart suddenly sink.

"Our logistics camp in Fangezhuang was breached by the Red Turban Army." The news that General Ya brought to Wang Pei was like a thunderbolt, which stunned him.

"The Red Scarf Army is still on the other side. Where did the Red Scarf Army attack Fangezhuang come from?" He roared, and slapped the general to the ground.

"General, they came from the direction of Luoniao Cliff. They numbered about 3,000. They were led by Sun Scarzi (Hutou), the general of the Red Scarf Army. There were only a few hundred soldiers guarding the Fangezhuang camp. How could they guard it? Stay safe, Sun Scarzi is coming here now, what should we do, General?"

Yajiang climbed up and asked with a cry.

Luo Niao Cliff! Wang Pei was stunned for a moment. Where did the Red Scarf Army come from? How did they transport thousands of people here?

But obviously, it was no longer the time to think about this issue. He finally understood why Baicheng, the Hou of Gaotang on the other side, was acting out of character today. It turned out that he was waiting for this.

"Retreat, retreat, withdraw the entire army to Pudong and build a second line of defense." Wang Pei said these words from between his teeth.

The Qi army on the river embankment began to retreat, and Wang Pei led his own soldiers to cut off the rear. The Red Scarf Army continued to fight, but was exhausted, so they did not pursue them and allowed them to escape. In Bai Yucheng's view, he was only on his left and right. So what if you run away with the food on the plate? Besides, your soldiers really deserve a rest. (To be continued)
