Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 411 Sheepskin Raft
Helian Ding led his troops to the north of Dingjun Mountain and set up camp on the spot, which happened to be across the Han River from Lue County.

In order to ensure that the Song army on the north bank could not come over, He Lianding ordered his soldiers to go down the Han River to completely destroy all remaining bridges and piers, and use the Han River to completely isolate the Song army on both sides of the river.

Liu Yizhen and the others on the other side could naturally see what He Lianding had done, and they couldn't help but turn blue.

"Helian Bobo's goal is indeed Dingjun Mountain."

Under the blocking of the Han River, a large number of Hu Xia soldiers suddenly appeared on the other side, which must have been arranged in advance.

Now that the two sides of the Han River are separated, the enemy army on the south bank outnumbers our own, and the food road has been cut off, the geographical advantage of Dingjun Mountain has been wiped out.

"How long does it take to go around the downstream?"

The Han River is flooding, but Hanzhong is flat after all, and there is always a navigable place downstream.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the downstream ferry is easy to find. But the south bank of the Han River downstream is full of high mountains, and it may take a lot of time to go around the downstream."

A military officer familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong immediately stood up and explained the current situation to Liu Yizhen.

"If you take a detour from the lower reaches to Dingjun Mountain, I'm afraid that by the time you reach Dingjun Mountain, the flood of the Han River will have receded!"

To put it simply, it is better to wait in place than to detour downstream.

Liu Yizhen shook his head.

"Helian Bobo won't give us such a long time, and the soldiers in Dingjun Mountain can't wait for such a long time either!"

What Helian Bobo was waiting for was the time bought by borrowing Hanshui, how could he miss this opportunity?

"Exit! Take Helian Bobo's military account directly!"

Liu Yizhen didn't know how many people Helian Bobo sent to attack Dingjun Mountain.

But presumably he will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and naturally he cannot tolerate any failure, and the number of troops to rescue will not be too small.

Correspondingly, the military strength in the camp on the north bank of the Han River will definitely be further reduced.

If you can take advantage of this opportunity to break Hu Xia's camp, then you can't encircle Wei to save Zhao, and solve the siege of Junshan!
"Liu Yuanjing! Zongxi!"

"The two of you each lead a thousand soldiers out of the customs to investigate the details of Hu Xia's camp. If you find that Hu Xia's soldiers have gone seriously, report immediately!"

"Here!"

Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi immediately braved the heavy rain and led 2000 people out of the customs to launch an offensive towards the Helianbo camp.

But the two encountered difficulties as soon as they left Yangping Pass.

saltwater!

This north-south river is usually very docile, and it can be regarded as the natural "moat" of Yangping Pass.

But now, with the heavy rain in the Hanzhong Basin, this small river has also turned into a huge river channel with a width of more than ten feet.

The most terrible thing is that on the other side of the river, both Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi found many Hu Xia soldiers!

This means that even if they can cross the river, there is no place for Song soldiers to stand!

"How to do?"

Zong Que asked the more stable Liu Yuanjing.

"Let's go into Helian Bobo's camp now to find out the truth, even this salty water can't be crossed!"

Liu Yuanjing looked at it for a while: "Let's try Queyue Formation!"

As an army formation brought together by water and land, the Queyue formation has already become a textbook-level formation, and Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi have naturally learned it.

"Okay! I'll go back and push the chariot here!"

Zong Que turned around and returned to Yangping Pass and pushed dozens of chariots. These chariots were all tied to the ship and rushed to the shore, intending to form an array and form a crescent moon on the shore.

The Hu Xia soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be very vigilant, and immediately came to the bank of the river after seeing the chariots tied to the Song Army warships.

The weapons they held in their hands were not ordinary sharp blades, but heavy hammers. An iron chain was tied to the back of the hammers, which looked a bit like meteor hammers with weird shapes.

A group of Hu Xia soldiers raised these hammers high, and after a few laps in the air, they smashed hard at the Song warship who was crossing the river.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

A few cracking sounds changed the expression of Song Jun who had already left the ship. They went to the bow to check and found that there were several huge holes in front of them.

"Oh!"

There was another dull bang. This was not the sound of a hammer smashing into the hull, but the sound of a large amount of river water pouring into the cabin and knocking down objects.

"withdraw!"

Liu Yuanjing, who was on the shore, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to abandon the boat and escape.

Zong Que's face was extremely gloomy at the moment: "It seems that Helian Bobo is also well prepared!"

This method of attacking ships with a hammer is also very simple to crack, that is, use stronger ships to resist the opponent's attack and go ashore.

If there are big ships that can sail in the big rivers and the Yangtze River, the Song army will not be afraid no matter how many hammers there are.

But in front of the salty water, which is not big or small, the big warships can't get in, and the small warships have thin protection, but it is just right to attack with a hammer.

Looking at the gradually silent ship, Liu Yuanjing and Zongyi could only return in disappointment, telling Liu Yizhen about the difficulties encountered by Xianshui.

"Helian Bobo, really guard against this move."

Liu Yizhen was not at all surprised that Helian Bobo could figure out a way to break the Moon Formation.

After all, the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered a lot from Que Yuezhen before, and even lost Hebei. It would be strange if Helian Bobo didn't care.

"Han water, salt water."

"These two rivers were originally the natural defense system of Yangping Pass, but now Helian Bobo has borrowed them to become obstacles to trap us. It's a twist of fate."

The other side of "easy to defend but difficult to attack" is often "difficult to attack".

Especially the natural dangers formed by the mountains and rivers in Shu and Guanzhong magnified this defect infinitely.

only……

Liu Yizhen felt a little absurd when he thought that He Lianbo was setting up a trap for himself here, and he was setting up a trap for Helianbo outside.

"I'm miserable now, but I'm not in a desperate situation, and I don't know what He Lianbo's expression will be when the "trapped dragon" plan succeeds."

But if you want to see that good show, you still have to solve the siege of Junshan first.

Liu Yizhen came to the side of the Han River again, and his inspiration flashed when he saw the endless flow of the Han River.

"Xie Shizhong, what do you think this Han River looks like?"

Xie Hui didn't expect that Liu Yizhen was still playing charades with him now, so he answered casually: "Han River, of course, is like a river."

Unexpectedly, this boring answer was immediately affirmed by Liu Yizhen!

"That's right! It's like a big river!"

Liu Yizhen let go of his thoughts and thought of a magical means of transportation in the upper reaches of the river.

"Go and tell the quartermaster! It's just rainy and cool, so tonight I invite all the soldiers to eat mutton!"

Xie Hui coughed violently when he heard the words, he said to Liu Yizhen angrily, "Your Majesty! This is a critical moment! How can you enjoy yourself without caring about your comrades?"

"Hey~"

Liu Yizhen stepped forward and put his arms around Xie Hui, and whispered in Xie Hui's ear very mysteriously:

"Xie Shizhong, have you ever heard of...sheepskin rafts in the upper reaches of the river?"
