Chapter 371: Cross the Yangtze River and liberate the whole of China

Fang Ming said: "One of the two people claimed to be General Xu Jing under the command of our army's commander Duan Mingyu. It is difficult to tell the truth of the last general. He heard that he knew the prime minister. So he came to report to Qiansui."

"Xu Jing, Xu Wen's young master, why did he run to the opposite side?" Zhao Guangyi was shocked before he finished reading and shouted strangely: "Xu Jing, you said his name is Xu Jing."

"It's. That man called himself Xu Jing."

Tian Lingzi lifted the quilt and jumped to the ground in his small shirt. He ran away barefoot and said, "Where are people."

"Now the Central Army is under supervision."

Xu Wen was originally a general of Wu. He was one of the best figures. When he was guarding Shouchun City before, he withstood his bombardment. He couldn't help but ignore it. Tian Lingzi ran away. Fang Ming was stunned for a moment. Then he shouted: "Prince, you haven't..."

At this time, Tian Lingzi had already run to the Central Army tent...

"In the past, Prince Pei met evil spirits and greeted him barefoot. Today, the prime minister met young generals and did not let the ancients and the officials be so moved."

;As soon as he saw Tian Lingzi spread his hair, wearing a small shirt, looking naked with his feet, Xu Jing immediately stepped forward, but was held back by two small school envoys. He stopped and bowed and said.

Tian Lingzi looked closely and saw that this person was indeed Xu Jing. Xu Jing was wearing night clothes and a string of gourds hung around his waist. His image was not much better than him.

Tian Lingzi said in surprise: "What are the major generals going to the opposite side to pick quarrying alum?"

Xu Jing sighed: "This matter is really hard to describe."

Tian Lingzi said: "What are General Xu's plans now?"

"I want to ask the prime minister to send a team of troops to escort me to Marshal Duan's rear central army. I have important matters to report to the Marshal." Xu Jing bowed.

"What's the matter? You and I said the same thing." The old fox turned his eyes and thoughts.

"Hahaha. The Prime Minister is too worried. The leader of the army has to make the decision." Xu Jing smiled and said nothing. The prime minister was disagreeing. He had heard of it for a long time. He was Duan Mingyu's person. How could such confidential information be shared with others?

Tian Lingzi finally left. Of course, he sent hundreds of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to escort Xu Jing.

...

In the tent of Duan Mingyu, Xu Jing said: "It is. The young general has no other ability. When he was young, he built a cottage and quarrying alum. He had been working hard for several years. He drew a detailed map of the Yangtze River. The Duke got this map. The waters of the quarrying alum were as deep as the palm of his hand. He could build a floating bridge and let the army cross the river. The young general sneaked back to quarrying alum the day before yesterday and took out the water map. Then he decided to come to see the marshal and do his best for the marshal."

Duan Mingyu was overjoyed and said, "The Major General is such a lucky general. You are here and you are here. If this matter is done, I will ask Your Majesty for you."

Duan Mingyu looked at the river in front of him. After a long time of silence, he said softly: "I will be on the riverside tomorrow. Things are caused by humans. I also touch the stones across the river. Let's take a step, take a step."

The Tang army's offensive became weaker. Zhang Ke, the guard general on the other side, was not unquestionable. When the morning mist dissipated, he sent a patrol along the river. Finally, they found that the Tang army was building a floating bridge on the river. Therefore, it was wide. The floating bridge was not as good as the other side. The two sides were steep and difficult to stand. Some arrows were fired by the strong wind on the water. It could not stop the Tang army from building a bridge. Zhang Ke hurriedly ordered people to go to Yangzhou to spread the news.

Yang Xingmi and a group of monks and Taoist priests were singing together in the palace to pray for blessings to the sky. When they heard the news, they were shocked and immediately summoned the ministers to discuss matters. The civil and military officials couldn't help laughing when they heard it: "The Tang army did not know the nature of the water. They did not know how soft the water was. They were so powerful that it was. It would be easy to build a floating bridge on a small river and a stream. The river seemed harmless. But the water was over a hundred feet and the water flowed thousands of miles. The power was incomparable. It was even more difficult to build a city when it broke down.

His confidant minister also said: "I have never heard of this kind of thing in history. The Tang people were too whimsical."

After hearing this, Yang Xingmi felt relieved and smiled happily: "Yes. I also think Duan Mingyu is too much of a joke. This must be the Tang people's tricks. Only then can this bad strategy be implemented. Now it seems that I have made great achievements in defending the countryside to resist the Song army."

Duan Mingyu's child trick succeeded. When the Tang army held the great banner of "fighting the Yangtze River and liberating the whole of China", gathered 800 death-death men to rush to the beach. Zhang Ke was organizing soldiers to break out of the camp and preparing to use the same trick again to wipe it out in one fell swoop. The Tang army's floating bridge was swaying down and successfully stuck on both sides of the river.

This situation made Zhang Ke's heart suddenly feel cold. As soon as the Tang soldiers on the pontoon bridge approached the shore, they immediately nailed countless piles of varying lengths into the water. The length was just right. The pontoon bridge connected by iron chains, ropes, and wooden wedges was successfully fixed before being washed away by the rolling Yangtze River. Countless Tang soldiers who had already been waiting rushed across the pontoon bridge continuously.

When the Wu defenders saw that the Right Army of Shence Army turned into an impossible miracle, their morale was suddenly devastated. The Tang army was as powerful as a rainbow and rushed straight in. Although Zhang Ke led his subordinates to support the positions hard, they could not resist it. For a moment, those who died, those who surrendered, and those who fled. The Wu defenders were defeated. Caishi Alum, who was as solid as a rock, declared his fall.

Duan Mingyu was wearing armor and holding an iron spear on the east bank of the Yangtze River. He looked around and was full of energy.

The general under his command asked: "Duke, do we occupy the Wu army camp and wait for General Yang to arrive."

Duan Mingyu smiled proudly and said, "The military is very fast and even Lord Tian knows how to seize the merits. Why are you not enlightened? Since you have crossed the river, then act as a fast move and attack Yangzhou. Put the Wu army into a fire and burn it. Order the three armies to set off immediately."

The generals under his command followed the order. They left a group of people to guard both sides of the Yangtze River and protected the floating bridge. The other people gathered immediately and rushed forward for a while.

This floating bridge cannot be broken. If there is no such floating bridge, the Tang army crosses the Yangtze River, then it will be a battle with its backwaters. It can only win, not defeat. If the enemy is strong and we are weak for a while, it is impossible to avoid its edge. Moreover, the Wu people are strong and clear on the walls and clear the fields. All the food and grass are transferred to a big city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the floating bridge is broken, then the Tang army can only fight on hungry. Therefore, although Duan Mingyu was as anxious as an arrow from the string, he dared not ignore this lifeline. He left part of the army and led his troops to defend the floating bridge. He personally led the remaining 50,000 horse and infantry mixed troops to rush forward for a while.
