Chapter 426 After listening to Cheng Jin's reply, Tang Yin couldn't help frowning, if even Cheng Jin had a feeling of effort, then I am afraid that it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to swim through.
Zhao An said on the side: "This general definitely doesn't understand the surname Shui, otherwise, with the assistance of ropes, it will be very effortless." ” Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Most of the officers and soldiers of our army don't understand the surname Shui. ” Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and said: "My lord, in order to prevent sinking in the water, you must work hard to hold on to the rope, which is the most laborious, if you can cross the river with a wooden stake, it will be twice the result with half the effort." ” "Oh" Tang Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, he already had an idea in his heart, he smiled slightly, and said to Cheng Jin and the others: "Let's go back" As he spoke, he looked at Zhao An again and said, "You also go back with me and go to the county capital to receive the bounty." ” Hearing the word bounty, Zhao An immediately changed his eyebrows and smiled, his mouth couldn't close, and he nodded again and again.
A group of four people returned the same way.
There was nothing to say on the road, and after returning to the county capital, Tang Yin did not break his promise, and did give Zhao An a hundred taels of gold as a reward, but did not let him leave immediately, but temporarily placed under house arrest in the county capital.
In Tang Yin's opinion, he can tell himself about it, receive the bounty, and if he doesn't get it right, he will run to Jiangbei, tell Zhan Wushuang about it, and receive another reward.
People's hearts are sinister and cannot be guarded against, which is also Tang Yin's consistent style. asked Zhao An to take him away, Tang Yin did not delay much, and immediately sent an order to recruit all the generals under his command.
Soon, Shangguan Yuanrang, Zhan Hu, Ziying and others arrived one after another, and after everyone arrived, Tang Yin told the story of the rope provided by Zhao An to cross the river.
After listening to his words, everyone was surprised and delighted, this is really a pie falling from the sky, as long as they can sneak across the water and get close to the enemy, then the more than 10,000 Peng troops on the other side are not worrying at all.
Shangguan Yuanrang intervened to give a salute, and Zhengse said: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead two thousand brothers to cross the river first, and this time he will be able to annihilate all the Peng troops on the other side.
"Shangguan Yuanrang has been defeating since he joined the army, although he has also lost battles, but he has never been defeated as much as this time, so bad, and he has not even been able to hurt a single soldier of the enemy, but his brothers have almost been wiped out, he has long held a bad breath in his heart, and now the time to vent his anger has finally come.
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanrang with a smile, shook his head, and said, "Yuanrang, don't be in a hurry first, this matter also needs to be considered in the long run."
As he spoke, he looked at Ziying and said, "General Ziying, the raft to cross the river still has to be rushed, and it is necessary to increase the intensity to make the Peng army on the opposite side think that we are going to continue to cross the river with the raft." ” Ziying understood that Tang Yin was using a tactic to hide from the world, smiled clearly, nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, the last general understands" "Also" Tang Yin took out a roll of silk cloth from his side and handed it to Ziying.
The latter didn't know what it was, so he took it inexplicably, unfolded it and took a look, a rectangle was drawn on the silk cloth, the front and back were semicircles, how wide a person was, and how long was half a zhang, not to mention that Ziying didn't understand, and everyone else also saw it inexplicably, and they didn't know what Tang Yin was drawing.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "General Ziying, according to this figure, make an identical, general-sized wooden plank, not too thick, not too thin, half an inch is enough, two thousand will be made in two days, can you do it?"
The planks are easy to make, but Ziying doesn't understand what Tang Yin wants two thousand planks for.
He asked, "Your Excellency wants these planks for?"
"Crossing the river" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said: "General Cheng Jin has tried it himself, even if there is a rope as an auxiliary, but if you don't know the surname of water, it is still not easy to pass through the water, so to create two thousand planks, our soldiers can lie on the planks, just hold on the rope to not be washed away by the river, in this way, crossing the river is not only labor-saving, but also faster." ” "I see" After listening to Tang Yin's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, and re-looked at the figure sketched by Tang Yin, although there are only four lines, but the more you look at it, the more exquisite it feels, especially the semicircle before and after, which is more suitable for gliding in the water.
Ziying couldn't help but praise: "Your Excellency, General Gao Ming, will immediately order the soldiers to make this thing." ” "En," Tang Yin nodded.
The graphic he just drew was not something he had just come up with, it was inspired by a skateboard for surfing, and although he had never played it, he had seen it, and he felt that it was perfect to cross the river with a skateboard at this time.
After a pause, he said: "It is reported that two days later, 100,000 soldiers of the Plains Army led by General Xiao Muqing will arrive in Lishan City, and the planks of our army will just be finished.
Everyone admired Tang Yin's tight and meticulous arrangement, and they all rubbed their fists and palms, got up and bowed their hands together, and said: "My lord is wise, and the last general will obey orders."
"Well, since you all agree, then, as soon as the brothers of the Plains Army arrive, we will immediately launch an attack on the enemy forces on the north bank."
"It's an adult" Now the morale of the generals has been raised again, especially Shangguan Yuanrang, his eyes are shining, and he can't wait to fly to the other side at once, kill the Peng army, and avenge the more than 5,000 brothers who died in battle.
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanrang, who was excited, and turned his head sideways and said to Zhan Hu: "Zhan Hu, this time you are walking with Yuan Rang." ” Zhan Hu is not as brave as Shangguan Yuanrang, but Zhan Hu is careful and calm-headed, with Zhan Hu by Shangguan Yuanrang's side, Tang Yin is also more assured.
Zhan Hu had no objection to his arrangement, and intervened in the order, but Shangguan Yuanrang's face sank, and he didn't look at Zhan Hu, but asked Tang Yin: "My lord thinks that I can't lead two thousand brothers alone."
Tang Yin understood Shangguan Yuanrang's temper, if he said that he was not at ease and let him lead the army alone, then Shangguan Yuanrang would be mad.
He had already thought of the wording, smiled slightly, and said: "Yuan Rang, don't underestimate the enemy army, don't forget, there is also a Shenchi master chasing the wind sword among the enemy army, this person is so powerful, our army is invincible, only you can compete with him, once you are entangled in the wind chasing sword, the two thousand soldiers of our army may be difficult to match the tens of thousands of enemy troops."
"Oh, it turns out that the adults are worried about this" Shangguan Yuanrang smiled after hearing this, raised his head, looked at the generals on the left and right, and the smug look naturally revealed, he intervened and said: "My lord, don't worry, this time the last general will definitely cut the wind chasing sword under the sword, and use his head to pay tribute to the spirit of the Jiang Mo brothers in the sky."
Tang Yin nodded slowly.
The Wind Chasing Sword is not on the other side, he doesn't know, but even if it is, he believes that the current Wind Chasing Sword is definitely not Shangguan Yuanrang's opponent, after all, on the top of the mountain where the ghost is worried, the two swords that stabbed the Wind Chasing Sword are also extremely heavy, and the other party is not a secret spirit cultivator, so it is impossible to heal in a short time.
The reports of the Sky Eye and the Earth Net were correct, and two days later, the Plains Army arrived in Lishan City as scheduled.
The appearance of the Plains Army is much worse than that of the Eagle Army, from top to bottom, the soldiers are very loose, especially after entering Gaochuan County, the soldiers of the Plains Army are not adapted to the climate and heat of the highlands, and many soldiers take off their military uniforms and trousers, shirtless and armored, and look nondescript.
Because the Plains Army was not lightly armed, and the army carried a large amount of grain and grass, baggage, and large siege weapons, the marching speed was much slower, and Tang Yin and his party had been delayed for almost ten days in Lishan City to catch up.
However, the speed of the Plains Army is still quite fast, and there are still Sanshui Army and Chifeng Army behind, as for the 20,000 Besa cavalry, they did not enter Gaochuan County at all, and letting the cavalry fight in the mountains is equivalent to pushing the cavalry into the fire pit.
With the 100,000 Plains Army into Lishan City, the momentum of the Tianyuan Army immediately grew, and the small Lishan City could not accommodate so many troops, the camp of the Plains Army was rooted on the shore of Panshui, and looked at them from the opposite bank, only to see the military flags like a forest, the armor guards were all over the place, the camp tents were next to the camp tents, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.
Seeing such a formation on the opposite side, even if there was the danger of Panshui to rely on, the soldiers of the Peng army couldn't help but feel frightened.
On the second day of the arrival of the Plains Army, early in the morning, Tang Yin gave the order to attack.
These days, the Tianyuan army rushed to build about 500 rafts overnight, and at this time all of them had been dragged into the river, and groups of Tianyuan troops began to board the rafts and make a posture of charging to the opposite bank.
Just as the generals were waiting for Tang Yin's order to attack, Tang Yin walked out of the carriage, passed through the people on the shore, and walked directly to a raft.
Seeing that Tang Yin suddenly got on the raft, all the generals were startled, and they all rushed forward and asked, "My lord, what are you doing here?"
Tang Yin looked around at the generals, and then turned his head to look at the soldiers on the rafts on the left and right, and he shouted: "Three days ago, right here, our army suffered 6,000 casualties, and today we are attacking here again, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid" Hearing Tang Yin's question, the soldiers on the raft replied in unison.
They say so on their lips, but they don't think so in their hearts, in the water is not as good as on land, on land, none of them are afraid, even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, they dare to rush up and fight, but in the water, the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army have a sense of powerlessness, the fiasco three days ago is still vivid, to say that they are not afraid of being nervous at this time, it is definitely a lie.
Tang Yin understood the psychology of the soldiers, he shouted loudly: "Today's battle, we will be ashamed, no matter how fierce the enemy's counterattack is, we will also rush to the other side with all the courage, this time, I will fight side by side with your brothers, life, I will live and die with my brothers, I will also die with my brothers, now, are you still afraid":
