Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 189
For now, just wait and see.

Being late is also a wonderful thing.

Not long after Liu Yu's army arrived in Luoyang, the Northern Wei Dynasty also ordered Xi Jin, the master of the Ministry of Heaven, to bring [-] troops to Hebei.

Xi Jin's family has been raising horses for a living. His father once took refuge in Helianbobo's father Liu Weichen. Later, Liu Weichen was defeated by Tuoba Gui, Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, before he joined the Tent of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although he started late, Xi Jin's talent allowed him to come from behind in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Like Changsun Song, he also made great contributions in the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the most famous of which was Houyan who was defeated in the Battle of Canhebei.Completely pull down Murong Xianbei, who was in full bloom for a while, from the altar, and put Tuoba Xianbei on the throne.

When the current Northern Wei emperor Tuobasi came to power, Xi Jin was even more trusted by Tuobasi. Not only did he take the position of "Eight Masters", but he also ordered Xi Jin to act as Prime Minister Zuo. .

This commander of Hebei soldiers and horses gave the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty a shot in the arm.

After Xi Jin led the army to Hebei, like Changsun Song, he stayed in Hebei and was unwilling to send a single soldier.

The two of them were lying on the east and the north of the river like two big tortoises, and they didn't seem to take the initiative to attack at all.

"It seems that the other party is also waiting for us to make a move first."

In the past few days, the Song army's scouts often crossed the river and patrolled within fifty miles. This approach was completely provocative, but Xi Jin was still very steady and never sent troops to attack lightly.

This tactic of using cavalry as infantry did not make Liu Yu underestimate the enemy.

Now it seems that Xi Jin is a big tortoise, but Hebei is his home field after all, and he cannot be underestimated.

"That's it."

Liu Yuyuan didn't come all the way to waste time across the river from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Since the opponent doesn't fight, then fight yourself!

"Send an order to General Zhu Lingshi to send troops to Puban tomorrow to test the quality of Changsun Song."

Liu Yu finally chose to shoot from Hedong.

The art of war is false and true.

It is a good art of war to prevent the enemy from seeing clearly.

Zhu Lingshi, who had been stationed in Tongguan early, ordered his soldiers to cross the river to Puban without saying a word after receiving Liu Yu's order.

As soon as the Song army on the west bank moved, the Northern Wei generals in Hedong became nervous.

Sun Song, the eldest son of the Southern Master, was in Anyi, Hedong at this time. When he heard that the Song army was attacking, he immediately put on his armor and rushed to the front line.

Changsun Song is 62 years old this year, but he is still in good spirits.

When he came to the front line, he didn't feel much panic when he saw the Song army waiting in Pusan. Instead, he praised the Song army's military appearance.

"There is strict discipline in the army, and the soldiers unite and help each other. No wonder Liu Yu can create such a great cause."

Xianbei, like other Hu people, worships the strong.

Liu Yu is undoubtedly the strongest in the world right now.

To be adored does not mean to be deficient.

The strong will always only wield their swords at the stronger.

"Come on!"

In Hedong, Changsun Biao had already built large and small docks. These docks stored a large amount of supplies and soldiers, just to be able to quickly deploy troops at this time.

"Take some soldiers to the north, and throw huge logs into the river to stop the Song army ships!"

Puban is exactly where the Yellow River, Weishui River and Fenshui River meet, and the water flow is turbulent.

Even the southern soldiers who are familiar with water are almost dead when they fall from the boat into the water.

Now Changsun Song is sending soldiers to the upper reaches of the river and throwing a lot of trees into the river.

Driven by the current, the huge tree trunk has huge kinetic energy, and if it rubs against the ship a little, it will tilt the ship. Once it hits the ship head-on, it will be the end of the ship's destruction.

The soldiers who were crossing the river on the boat also found the giant log roaring from the upper reaches.

Although the river is wide, the current is too fast. Even if traces of the giant tree are found, it is difficult to change direction in a short time to avoid the giant tree.

"boom!"

The scene that Song Jun didn't want to see the most still happened. A boat dodged too slowly, was hit by a tree trunk to the stern, and was involved in a vortex in the river.

"Be careful!"

"Hold on!"

"Don't get thrown off!"

The soldiers at the helm tried their best to stabilize the hull, but how can manpower compete with nature?

The boat was thrown into the vortex and kept spinning, and the faces of the soldiers on the boat turned pale. Some people really couldn't catch the boat, and they were swallowed by the river when they let go.

"Damn!"

Some soldiers fell into the water, which means that the weight of the ship has been reduced, which is not a good thing for the ship that is currently in the vortex.

A large amount of river water poured in when the ship was spinning, and the icy cold water hit the face, making the soldiers tremble slightly.

"Squeak."

Suddenly, a faint voice came, which made the soldiers at the helm shout that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the groaning of the wooden boat became louder and louder, and a large amount of river water began to pour into the cabin from the bottom.

The bottom of the boat is broken!

Fortunately, at this time, two ships were finally approaching the vortex.

"Abandon ship!"

The soldiers on the two boats beckoned each other to enter the water, and they followed them downstream.

At this water speed, it is easy to miss the two boats downstream, but at this time everyone has no choice.

Immediately, some soldiers jumped into the big river, using all their strength to control their bodies to approach the boats downstream.

The soldier was very lucky. Although he deviated a little distance, he caught the cable lowered from the boat and climbed up from the raging river.

But there are also unfortunate people.

Two soldiers didn't see the direction clearly, they both passed the boat and struggled to get away in the water.

Looking at the comrades who were swept away by the river, the soldiers of the Song Army were generally in a low mood.

This strategy did not cause too many casualties, but it did make everyone very aggrieved.

Everyone would rather die in the hands of the enemy than just be taken by the ruthless river.

"Changsun Song..."

Zhu Lingshi obviously also saw this scene, and immediately gritted his teeth.

"Come with me to set up a block upstream!"

It is difficult to block the giant tree completely, but it can slow down its speed to some extent, so that the giant tree will not have the effect of "killing or injuring the giant tree".

After the block was set up, the giant tree did not cause much damage to the ship. Even if it was hit, it would only vibrate slightly. This instantly restored the depressed mood of the soldiers of the Song army, and they all crossed the river soon.

As soon as he landed, Zhu Lingshi led his troops to look for the eldest grandson Song who gave him a note of Mawei.

Who knew that when Changsun Song saw Zhu Lingshi's army coming, he ran faster than a rabbit and came to a dock.

Zhu Lingshi sent someone to make a false attack to test it out, but the overwhelming rain of arrows made Zhu Lingshi decisively order the withdrawal.

The opponent's arrows are so dense, there must be a lot of inventory, and it would be fatal to attack.

Fortunately, Zhu Lingshi is not helpless.

"Quickly build a catapult tonight! I'm going to smash the shell of that bastard Changsun Song!"
