My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Chapter 30 Surprise attack across the river

The note fluttered down from Shen Ci's hand, and Yue Tingchuan quickly caught it with his fingers, and looked at him for no reason, took it to read with the other two, looked at each other for a while, and sighed: "Since Your Majesty is the same Say, then wait another ten days."

Shen Ci seemed to be out of his shell, his eyes were empty, but his expression was ever-changing, he was confused and shocked for a while, and shook his head after a while, until Yue Tingchuan snapped his fingers in front of him before he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty coincides with your thoughts, isn't that a good thing?" Yue Tingchuan asked suspiciously, "What's your expression?"

Shen Ci doesn't know what expression he should put on now. The Qingmu River is located at the junction of northern Hebei and southern Hebei. Although the winter is not too cold, there are few rivers that can form thick ice. It is even more difficult for people to walk on the ice. Don't think about it.But he has the memory of his previous life, and he knows that this winter is such a cold day, even the south of the Yangtze River is covered with snow, the Qingmu River is frozen, and it is very smooth for people and horses to leave.

But how did Xie Ruzhuo know?

The explanations he could think of were so shocking that he couldn't believe it.

One of the wonders in the world is not enough for one person to live a new life?

With the enemy at hand and marching outside, no matter how many questions he had, he could only suppress them. When Yue Tingchuan asked him for the second time, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I didn't expect His Majesty to think so in my humble position."

The four of them chatted for a few more words, and dispersed early. The kit came back to Shen Ci, and his fingers stroked the light ink handwriting. He thought to himself, after returning to Lezhou, the first thing to do was to ask Xie Ruzhuo for the kit. Where is it.

Three days later, the north wind was strong, and it was colder than the previous days. People stood outside the tent for a while and their hands and feet were numb from the cold. The people along the coast were talking about how it was so cold this year.

As expected, Xu Zishen sent Chizhou garrison to attack Jiyuan County. Yue Tingchuan retreated to Jiyuan to oversee the battle.

The ten-day period is getting closer and closer. Song Qingge has already believed Shen Ci's words. This winter is indeed unusually cold, which can be said to be a rare event in ten years. Their battle can be described as a dead end. The weather is not suitable for a long battle, otherwise how will the food and grass be? Shipping is a problem.

Xu Zishen's soldiers and horses had also camped on the south bank, and Shen Ci knew that he might also be waiting for the river to freeze.

It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. He doesn't know when it will be so cold that the entire river will be frozen. Even if the river freezes, he will have to try several times before he can confirm whether he can pass people.

And they don't have to wait.

This day is the twenty-first day of the winter moon, and since last night, the entire river has been frozen. Shen Ci walked a few feet on the ice alone without any cracks, but he tapped it with a knife and shook his head and said no.

This morning, the ice layer on the river was thicker again, and the raging river water was completely frozen underneath. If you walk a little further, you will feel dizzy, and you will feel the same scene in the front, back, left, and right. People are so small, as if Like an insignificant dot of ink on an ice-blue canvas.

If you want to cross the river to make a surprise attack, the vanguard must pass at least [-] people first, and the front and rear cannot be too scattered, otherwise it will be difficult to respond. Therefore, the ice surface must carry the weight of at least [-] people and [-] horses at the same time. Potentially devastating casualties.

Shen Ci said to Song Qingge: "Wait a minute, the ice will be thicker at night, and it won't be dazzled by the ice. My humble guess is that if Xu Zishen wants to cross the river, he will have to observe it for at least another day, and he won't move tonight."

Song Qingge nodded in agreement. If Shen Ci hadn't vowed that thousands of soldiers and horses could really walk on the ice, he would have made repeated observations like Xu Zishen before making a decision. Thousands of people crossing such a wide river is no different from being fully sure Yu suicidal.

There is a smooth boulder on the shore. Shen Ci sits here every evening, with a fire at his feet and a pot of burning knives, in case there is a day or two of error from the frozen days in the previous life, or the temperature in this life is too high. Not seeing the effect of the extreme cold, I sat until Yinshi and went back to sleep without seeing any changes.

In this kind of weather, the fire can't do anything, he has to stand up and walk a few steps every once in a while, otherwise his feet will be so cold that he can't feel it, and his hands have been cracked by the cold, and there are several bloody grooves on the back of his hands and fingers.

At the second moment of the ugly time, it was difficult to cut the cracks when the knife was slashed heavily on the ice. Shen Ci drank half of the pot of burning knives, and poured the remaining half on both hands. The blood slipped away along the wine, and the stimulation of pain revived the frozen brain.

Song Qingge looked over inquiringly, he nodded slightly, and Song Qingge ordered in a deep voice: "Cross the river!"

Shen Ci led the vanguard first, and 2000 people stepped on the ice silently. The four hooves of the horses were wrapped in thick cloth, which not only prevents slipping, but also makes the sound of the hooves unclear.

The battle flag made a crackling sound in the bone-piercing cold wind, and 2000 men and horses rushed towards the opposite bank like a silent tide. The cavalry, wearing armor to keep out the cold, slowly drew out their long knives.

The horse spread its four hooves and galloped over the ice. Shen Ci took off the longbow on his back and picked up a feathered arrow from the quiver beside the saddle.

When the sentry post on the opposite south bank saw the man in white armor riding a white horse rushing out in the raging black tide, the arrowhead wrapped in the strong wind had already torn through the silent night, and it was inserted into the throat of the sentry post accurately, and the sound of "enemy attack" "Before he yelled out, his body fell down.

"kill!"

The turbulent tide roared, the long knife was unsheathed, and rushed into the enemy camp unstoppably.

After half a stick of incense, the front row of tents was already in flames, and blood was sprayed on the thick tent cloth one after another.

Followed by more cavalry on the ice behind, one after another came ashore.

Xu Zishen obviously didn't expect them to cross the river so soon. He had just had people try to walk on the ice during the day, and it was still not safe for 1000 people to walk to the center of the river. cross the river.

This is simply playing with one's life.

He thinks he is not as cautious as Song Qingge, and often he also likes to take risks and risk his life. The uncertainty and dangers of the battlefield are what attract him, so he is confident that Song Qingge will never be his opponent, because Song Qingge never risked his life .

However, within three months, he met twice a person who liked to risk his life more than him.

Playing crazy and ruthless, but unlucky to take it in and out.

In this weather and in this situation, they never thought that the enemy would attack at night from the front. It could be said that they were unprepared. The enemy used the most elite Northern Xinjiang cavalry of the Song family as the vanguard. , The front line of defense collapsed in an instant.

Morale is the easiest thing to destroy when a formidable enemy strikes you in the severe cold.

At the moment when 2000 people crossed the river, Xu Zishen knew that the battle had been lost.

Xu Zishen ordered his troops to retreat, abandoning the Dayun Pass on the north bank of the Qingmu River. He led his troops to the rear, and seeing that the enemy had no intention of chasing him, he stopped at a safe distance, stared at the white figure who was about to turn around, and shouted: " Are you Pei Yuankai's son?"

Shen Ci reined in his horse and stopped. Facing the current owner of Pingdu, his disdain in his eyes was the same as that of any defeated general. He replied: "My surname is Shen. General, don't remember it wrong next time."

Xu Zishen laughed, he was in his prime, his face was mature and sharpened on the battlefield, even if he was defeated by a young man, he still had a calm demeanor, and said: "Young people are awesome."

After passing the Dayun Pass, there is a flat river. Xu Zishen's greatest advantage is to fight in the open field. Shen Ci understands the principle of accepting when he sees a good situation. Tonight has an element of luck, so he can't go forward rashly. He is far away, Xu Zishen sees Unclear, but it felt like he gave a cold sneer, turned his horse's head and galloped away, and disappeared into the Guancheng.

Song Qingge led troops to enter Dayun Pass, and spent two days strengthening the city's defenses. He was ready every day, but Xu Zishen didn't look back, as if he really gave up on Dayun Pass, Qingmu River and the southeast corner of Chizhou.

"He will definitely come again when he comes." Shen Ci took the medicine that the military doctor gave him to treat frostbite on his hand, looked at it again and again, felt that he would use this thing to wipe the girl's chirping on his hand, and then threw it aside "But we just need to send heavy troops to guard the prison, and don't let Xu Zishen take it down easily. He won't really spend all his thoughts here. We will fight elsewhere next time, and he will naturally be sucked in."

Song Qingge nodded: "We must at least build the entire line of defense from the southeast of Suifang to the northeast of Hengchuan, so that we can return to the court with peace of mind, otherwise this trip will be in vain."

It took more than two months to build the defense line, Shen Ci asked: "Can I go back before the spring?"

Song Qingge glanced at him lightly: "Waiting to go back to see Your Majesty?"

Shen Ci: "..."

How can such a serious person ask such unscrupulous words?

Although he has some questions to answer when he goes back this time, he still remembers his promise to Xie Ruzhuo.

Shen Ci took out the kit again, looked at it over and over again, and said in his heart: Xie Ruzhuo, have you really lived a new life?

The author has something to say: Xie Ruzhuo: Guess?
