Chapter 333 Shocking China
"Chushui?!"
Wu Mingche was completely stunned at this moment.
Although Wu Mingche had fought against the puppet Qi many times, he was not familiar with Chushui. This was his first time leading an army to Jiangbei.
Jiangbei and Jiangnan look at each other across the river. They are separated by a river, but the situations in the two places are completely different.
Wu Mingche walked quickly towards the high platform built in the tent. The soldiers in the tent were running around at the moment. There were screams and roars everywhere. The officers dispatched one after another, galloping on their horses, and ordered the soldiers not to escape.
Anyone who tried to escape but was caught up by an officer would be killed with a knife.
Although the southerners don't know about the Chu River, they know about breaking its banks.
After all, water attack is a common tactic in Jiangnan, and many generals in the South have used similar methods.
These veterans are too experienced and they know very well what will happen next.
Wu Mingche quickly climbed up to the high platform and looked into the distance.
The originally calm Chushui River became extremely violent at this moment, rushing towards the main camp and the city. The nearest camps near the Chushui River have been completely submerged by the rapid water, and only some wreckage can be seen as the river continues.
Moving forward, the water flow was extremely fast and it was already rushing towards the camp.
The terrain of Guabu City is extremely low, and the Chu River is like thousands of knights rushing towards it, destroying everything in sight.
Wu Mingche trembled all over, and then fell into a daze.
The bursting of the embankment was not an accident, but man-made.
He sent someone to check the situation of Chushui. It was clear that in the past few days, the situation of Chushui had been normal and there was no abnormality.
Obviously, there was a strong man on the opposite side who was proficient in water attack tactics. He accurately calculated the situation of Chushui and then gave them a fatal blow.
And those people may be upstream at this moment, or in other directions, quietly waiting for the camp to be completely destroyed.
"General!! General!!"
The soldiers on the side shouted loudly, and Wu Mingche suddenly woke up.
He looked at the people around him and said, "Evacuate! Don't run to higher ground. Evacuate to the river! Get on the boat!!"
"General! The Chu River is so turbulent that the ships along the coast will also be affected!"
"I know!! Send me the order!!"
Wu Mingche roared, but the soldier did not dare to say anything and turned around to convey the order.
Wu Mingche walked off the high platform in a daze. Under the current situation, walking towards the river was a very stupid move, because the closer to the river, the lower the terrain and the greater the impact. Even the navy would be affected.
, these tens of thousands of troops plus the civilians and the like, I don’t know if the number of people who escaped can reach 30%.
However, if you run eastward at this moment, to the east of Guabu is Taoye Mountain. It is said that the name comes from Wang Xizhi.
Of course, if you go up a high slope now, you may be able to retain a lot of strength.
However, after the water attack, the menacing knights will annihilate them all on the high slope, and no one can escape. And after experiencing the embarrassing escape of the water attack, they are completely incapable of facing Beihu's cavalry.
To resist.
Wu Mingche thought about the consequences of the two in his mind, and immediately chose a method that could still escape some people.
Wu Mingche rode on the war horse. Even the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel something. It became particularly irritable, shaking its head and rubbing its hooves.
Wu Mingche ran around and began to organize the army to evacuate.
The action of tens of thousands of troops is a very complicated matter. If there is no reasonable coordination, no one knows how many people will die at the hands of their own people.
However, Chushui invaded the camp at this moment.
Following several screams, the outermost wooden fence collapsed to the ground, followed by the inner wall. The inner wall was made of wood. When facing the Chushui, it could not resist and was beaten to the ground.
As soon as the soldiers raised their heads, they saw the wooden block falling. They let out a scream and fell to the ground. Then they were submerged by the water. As the Chushui advanced, the soldiers completely lost control.
Wu Mingche was still working hard to organize, "You, you guys, go pick up the injured officers at all levels on their horses, and take away as many as you can!!"
"Liu Siduan, don't let your soldiers go towards the city!! Let them retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"You!! You guys! Go and hold my flag!!"
"Pile it up! Pile it up!"
Wu Mingche ran around frantically. Chushui's offensive was gradually weakened with one charge after another. Half of Wu Mingche's horse was already submerged in the water, and the horse sneezed in dissatisfaction.
Voice.
On the gentle slope to the north.
Liu Taozi was wearing armor, and the knights lined up and stood behind him.
The Chushui flooded all the way in front of them. Liu Taozi rode a horse and watched the tents surrounding the city in the distance being broken by the raging water. The soldiers looked so small in front of the flood, screaming everywhere.
They fled, but were swept away by the flood. The water swept them away, rushed to the south bank, and poured into the river all the way.
The Chushui embankment has been breached long ago, and the water continues to wash away the enemy's camps.
Within a few moments, at least half of the camps in the distance were in ruins.
Wang Lin stood aside, watching this scene, and suddenly raised her head and laughed.
He smiled very happily and loudly.
Looking at these screaming soldiers, his uneasy heart about burying an army of 100,000 people seemed to be released.
After all, Shi Wansui was young. Seeing such a miserable situation, he still couldn't laugh.
He had never thought that the water flow could be so lethal. Such an impact was actually more terrifying than the charge of a hundred thousand troops.
Liu Taozi's face was solemn, she just stared at the situation in the distance without saying a word.
Wang Lin suddenly said: "The enemy did not run towards Taoye as expected. They were running towards the river. It seems that Wu Mingche is still giving command. He knows that if he goes up the mountain, he will be wiped out by us."
"However, it is difficult for a large ship to dock under such water conditions, and there is always a danger of capsizing. If we flee south, we don't know how many people can survive."
Liu Taozi gave the order: "Bang the war drum."
“Dong dong dong dong~~~~”
The continuous sound of drums suddenly sounded from the north.
The sudden sound of war drums caused Chen Ren to lose control completely. Wu Mingche rode his war horse, but could no longer command his soldiers. Everyone just ran away and had no idea of fighting anymore.
Wu Mingche looked to the north in despair. The sound of the war drums was extremely dull, and it seemed to hit his heart every time.
The soldiers scrambled to escape, and some simply ran to the high slopes to the east to avoid the torrent.
War drums sounded from time to time, but the pursuit did not proceed.
The main reason was that the water was stronger than Wang Lin had expected. Because of the superiority of his navy, Wu Mingche deliberately set up the camp at the intersection of Chushui River and the river, so that the navy could transport goods and people from both sides at the same time.
It was this advantage that allowed him to ruin the army at this moment.
I don't know how much time passed, but the screams gradually weakened.
Liu Taozi raised the horse in his hand.
"rush!!"
The knights ran out wildly, and Liu Taozi led the army around the water from the north and towards the east. He wanted to first deal with the enemies who had fled to the high slopes, and then drive them into the water.
When the knights began to run wildly, the ground shook again.
Those soldiers and civilians had just climbed up the high slope. Before they could catch their breath, they saw the cavalry in the distance coming towards them like ghosts.
The sound of war drums is getting closer and closer.
They stood up in fear. Unarmed, they could only flee in all directions.
Liu Taozi was the first to rush over. As soon as a man who looked like a general raised his spear, Liu Taozi's horse hit him hard, and the general was directly thrown into the river by Liu Taozi.
Black Wind became even more violent, knocking over Chen Bing in front of him, and the knights chased him along the way.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!!"
When they heard the Qi people's shouts, these Chen people hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.
Those who are unwilling to surrender can only jump into the rushing water.
Wu Mingche has now reached the southernmost point, where more than ten soldiers are desperately pulling a small boat.
The boat was still rocking.
"General! Get on the boat! Get on the boat!!"
Cheng Laohu shouted loudly.
Wu Mingche froze on the spot, looking at the warrior in front of him, but what came to his mind was the letter sent to him by the emperor.
His feet, which were originally raised, couldn't help but put them on the ground.
He looked around again.
The entire camp was completely destroyed. After Chushui entered the river, there was a place to vent, and the offensive gradually weakened. However, the entire Guabu area was soaked in water.
It wasn't as outrageous as before, but Wu Mingche was still soaked in the water and his whole body was cold.
"kill!!"
The roar of the Beihu knights came from the distance, and one by one the knights were seen approaching here. Each of them was holding a crossbow. Facing the Chen soldiers around them, they didn't show much mercy and just raised their bows to shoot.
War horses cannot charge in such an environment, but the ability of mounted archery suddenly becomes particularly important at this moment. As long as they can see the enemy, they can shoot and kill them at any time.
On the battlefield, there is no mercy.
Cheng Wenji looked at the approaching enemy and ignored Wu Mingche's hesitation. He rushed over quickly and picked up Wu Mingche.
Wu Mingche favored the commander, and his force was obviously not as strong as the rough man in front of him. Cheng Wenji just picked him up, rushed to the boat, and threw him in.
"Go!! Go!!"
Cheng Wenji shouted, and the soldiers released the ropes and began to climb onto the boat.
The boat sailed towards the river at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh!!"
He heard angry shouts from behind him, and within a moment, dozens of hooks were thrown over, some of them hooked the ships, and some of them hooked the soldiers.
The boat that was moving forward suddenly stopped. Everyone on the boat was swaying, but only Cheng Wenji stabilized his body.
Cheng Wenji turned around, and several knights had appeared behind him. They threw out hooks. This thing was used in water battles. Cheng Wenji didn't know why Liu Taozi and other northerners would use this thing, but now
Instead of thinking about the reason, the knights held the hooks hard to prevent the ship from moving forward, while the other knights quickly closed the distance between each other and raised their crossbows.
Cheng Wenji roared angrily, holding a steel knife, and began to cut off the hooks.
"cut!"
"Dump it!!"
Several soldiers also came up to help, but there were more and more knights on the opposite side. Hooks and ropes were being thrown out continuously. Cheng Wenji became fierce and moved quickly. An officer was already in front of him. He obviously wanted to capture him alive first. This officer was exactly
The commander of these knights.
Cheng Wenji picked up a hook and threw it towards the knight in front of him.
The hook hit the knight's armor head-on. The breastplate in front of the knight seemed to be dented, tilted back, and fell into the water.
This directly made the knights give up the idea of capturing him alive.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~~"
Arrows flew instantly. Cheng Wenji raised his hands, his armor was full of arrows, and severe pain spread all over his body.
The next moment, someone suddenly rushed over and pushed Cheng Wenji away.
Cheng Wenji staggered and looked forward in shock.
Wu Mingche stretched out his hand and blocked it in front of him.
The next moment, Wu Mingche's back was filled with arrows.
"Run, run!!!"
Wu Mingche's eyes widened and he roared at Cheng Wenji. The next moment, he looked at the soldiers on the left and right.
"Kill with me!!!"
Wu Mingche turned around and jumped off the ship, holding a steel knife and cutting off the hooks one by one. The soldiers jumped off without hesitation. As they continued to cut off, the ship started again.
Cheng Wenji struggled to get up, but saw the ship quickly sailing away, while Wu Mingche stood in the water, with arrows behind him and a steel knife in hand, facing the enemy head on.
Cheng Wenji was about to jump down when Wu Mingche seemed to sense it and suddenly turned around.
"Get out of here!!!"
He cursed sternly.
Cheng Wenji froze on the spot, the boat was traveling very fast, and he could only watch Wu Mingche's figure getting smaller and smaller.
Wu Mingche turned around and looked at the many knights in front of him.
These knights had obviously discovered Wu Mingche's identity through his armor.
Wu Mingche took a deep breath.
"kill!!!"
He just rushed out of the water, holding a knife in both hands, but before he could get close to the enemy, the knights' arrows struck again.
There are more and more arrows on Wu Mingche's body, more and more.
Finally, his charging speed also slowed down.
He just staggered and fell down weakly.
At the moment he fell, his head seemed to glance behind him.
With endless guilt and regret.
Guabucheng.
The city gates had long been demolished, and the city was filled with captured prisoners.
The knights walked back and forth around the prisoners, all of whom had their heads lowered, and were connected to each other by ropes so that they could not escape.
The number of prisoners was so great that the entire city could not contain them.
After experiencing such a defeat, they no longer had the courage to resist. They just sat on the ground in a daze, not daring to raise their heads.
The knights passed by them in a majestic manner, staring at them to prevent them from colluding and causing chaos.
Liu Taozi stood at the gate of the city, discussing the aftermath with Wang Lin.
Shi Wansui rushed in from outside excitedly.
He was holding something else in his hand.
"Lord!!"
"Look, Wu Mingche! Wu Mingche has been arrested!"
Shi Wansui raised the object in his hand high, and it turned out to be Wu Mingche's head.
For a while, the scene was a little quiet.
Even Wang Lin, he fell silent at this moment.
Based on the current situation in the Southern Kingdom, there are no veteran generals left. Wu Mingche is the flag-bearer among the generals of the Southern Kingdom, just like Duan Shao who was left behind after the death of the famous generals in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is the current leader.
I never expected that such a person would end up like this.
Wang Lin originally thought that she could not catch Wu Mingche because the water was too strong and the knights could not come down quickly to catch him. They gave Wu Mingche a long time, which was enough time for him to escape.
Thinking about it, this guy reserved more strength first and did not rush to take the lead to leave. He sent the rest of the people away first, but in the end he failed to escape.
Shi Wansui looked behind him and shouted: "Come here! Come here!"
Immediately, an officer from the Mandrill Battalion walked up quickly, with a dent in his breastplate. He saluted Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi glanced at him, "Did you capture Yuchi Jia?"
The young officer Yu Chijia hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "I bumped into them accidentally. They were already on the boat, so I asked people to hook them with hooks so that they could not escape. Later, Wu Mingche jumped off the boat and took the people on the boat.
They were sent away and I couldn't catch up, so I had no choice but to chop off Wu Mingche's head."
This Yuchi Jia is from Jinyang. When Hu Luguang led his people to leave Jinyang, Yuchi Jia's father Yuchi Mengdu led his army and followed Hu Luguang. Because he was tall and performed well, Yuchi
Jia then entered Liu Taozi's mandrill camp.
The composition of Liu Taozi's mandrill camp is extremely complex. There are Han people recruited from the border areas, people from Yecheng, people from Jinyang, Huns from Hengzhou, and even a few Xi and Xirou who have defected.
Ran people.
However, the military orders were in Chinese. Unlike the original Qi State, military orders were in Xianbei dialect. Only when Gao Aocao was present, Gao Huan would use Chinese as his orders.
In the north, the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Di, Qiang and others have lived together with the Han people for a long, long time, and people like Kou Liu were in the majority.
"Okay, record his meritorious service and reward him together after the war."
"Thank you, Lord!!"
Yuchijia was very excited and thanked him quickly.
His father had always looked down upon him, feeling that he was not like the old Jinyang nobles. He still imitated the Han people and indulged in studying, did not do his job properly, and gave up the good tradition of fighting and killing among the old nobles.
But Yuchijia felt that studying and fighting were not a waste of time.
This time, I can capture the enemy general by myself, and I can shut my grandfather up when I go back!
Shi Wansui was extremely excited at this moment. He held the head in his arms and said, "Master, Wu Mingche was killed by us!! The southerners may be too scared to sleep this time!"
"Kill Yang Zhong in the north and Wu Mingche in the south!"
"My lord is the best general in the world!!"
"Shock China!"
