Chapter 486 They Are Not Jiangdong Soldiers
In the early morning of the next day, there was heavy fog on both sides of Feishui River.
Li Dian continued southward with his troops, but by Chen time the fog had not dissipated.
When he was lamenting the bad weather, the scouts who were leading the way brought back a man who was also a scout stationed at Jiangjun Ridge.
The scouts sent new information, that is, thirty large ships stopped at the artificial canal at the southern foot of Jiangjun Mountain to unload their cargo yesterday evening. They seemed to be grain transport ships from Jiangdong, and there were only a few hundred troops protecting the grain.
Li Dian hurriedly took out the map and looked at it. It was a straight line from the southern foot of Jiangjun Mountain to Lu'an.
There is only a hundred miles between the two places, but the movement of the grain transport team is slow, and it will take three or four days at the earliest.
Li Dian keenly noticed the fighter plane. He thought that if he rushed due south, he would have enough time to intercept this batch of grain.
There are only a few hundred people to protect the food, so why don't you just take care of it?
Taishi Ci was besieging Lu'an at this time, so the Jiangdong people chose to transfer by land instead of detouring by water from Feishui and Shaopi. This not only saved the time of transporting food, but also would not be noticed by the Shouchun defenders, which was completely in line with the way of using troops.
In the cold morning, Li Dian encountered a favorable fighter opportunity.
Thinking of the opportunity to cut off Taishi Ci's army and resolve the crisis in Liu'an in advance, his cold body in the early morning was ignited with excitement.
Li Dian then urged his troops to move quickly, intending to find a suitable position to cross the river first.
The Feishui River becomes more rapid as it goes upstream, and the upstream reaches Jiangjun Ridge. The terrain gradually rises as it gets closer to the upstream.
Climbing uphill will consume more energy, and Li Dian will not do thankless things.
What a coincidence, we can only travel less than five miles.
Li Dian found a crossing point.
The wide river channel distributes the water from upstream. In addition to the dry season, the water level has dropped a lot, exposing part of the river bed.
Standing on the shore, he could see the underwater rocks. Li Dian then sent someone to take a wooden stick into the water to measure, and found that the edge was only about five feet, and he guessed that the deepest point was only seven or eight feet, and that it would not be more than one foot high at most.
Li Dian's Buqu is from Yanzhou. His average height is over seven feet, and he is much taller than southerners.
Even if they wade without the help of tools, they can cross the river on tiptoes. If they encounter deep water, they can cross it by flopping forward a few times.
There were few natural resources in winter, and Li Dian thought of the speed of his troops, so he couldn't wait to cut down trees to make rafts.
Li Dian chose a group of people to explore the way through the water, and everyone reached the other side smoothly.
Crossing the river by water saves time and effort, the only drawback is the cold weather.
The soldiers had to soak in the ice water for a long time, and they might contract typhoid fever, but Li Dian was not worried about this at all. He planned to find a place to make a fire to ward off the cold after crossing the river.
As long as you act quickly, except for a few weak people, most people can control cold symptoms.
Even if there is a little risk, compared with sending people to cut down trees to make rafts, time and energy will be saved. If not, you will have to make a fire to keep out the cold.
Li Dian was momentarily confused and took the lead in crossing the river himself.
As a result, six thousand parts are like ducks descending into the river.
The combat soldiers walked easily with light armor, but the two thousand soldiers had to carry grain trucks across the river.
Fortunately, there is buoyancy in the water to help, but if you stay in the water for a longer time, the damage to your body will be greater.
As the saying goes, one general's achievements are worth thousands of bones. Which of the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms era really loved his soldiers as much as his sons?
Especially handymen like this who transport grain are not as good as cattle and horses in the eyes of the general. He does not treat them as human beings at all, let alone care about their life and death.
When Li Dian led his army to ford the river, he lurked at Xu Chu on the other side of the river and watched with a telescope for a while.
He was waiting for Lu Su's instructions, but Lu Su just raised the mirror observation, and there was no intention to attack at all.
Xu Chu couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zijing, when will you attack?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, wait more."
Seeing Lu Su's hand perfunctory, Xu Chu continued to ask: "I heard that there is a military method that hit half a cross. Now Cao Bing has been waded more than half. If I ordered arrows or stones, they are living targets in the water."
"Hehe, Zhongkang still understands the method of war?"
Lu Su put down a thousand miles, turned to watch Xu Chu and smiled, followed: "It can indeed win a lot of victory, but this move will inevitably shock some Cao Bing.
Take Shouchun? "
"oh"
Xu Chu slightly stunned and asked, "When can you attack?"
Lu Su stunned a beard and looked at Cao Bing, who crossed the river in the mist, meaningfully said: "Let them soak them in the water. At this time
Baking, then you cited troops to fight, are you afraid of not winning? "
Put aside the soldiers bravely, and there is no armor to fight, not to mention that the other party also soaked in ice water.
When Xu Chu was in the meditation, Lu Su reminded him: "Today's fog is delayed, although it is beneficial to our hidden hidden shape, it can help the enemy to escape when they will start war.
When they run south, they must not let them escape back to Shouchun, especially those generals who are riding on horseback. They are riding and crossing them under the river, so the body is not affected. "
Xu Chu glanced at the river in the distance, followed by a punch and said, "Sir, rest assured, I will arrange for people to prevent one by one, and will not let a cavalry get rid of it."
"Very good." Lu Su slightly shot.
Li Dian led the mighty crossing the river until it took more than a hour. When the last grain car was lifted ashore, all 6,000 talents across the water.
Soaking in ice water for a long time, many soldiers began to swing ashore, and it was still cold wrapped in spare clothes.
After the inspection of Li Dian, he found that the problem was not big.
As long as the tribal of the firewood salary returns, the soldiers can roast the cold on the spot. At that time, the fog around at that time should also be dispersed. With the warm winter sun, it should be able to recover as early as the beginning.
Li Dian was wondering that the firewood was delayed. Suddenly, the northwest sides of the northwest killed a masterpiece at the same time.
How can there be ambush? Is there Tai Shici or.
Li Dian's eyes opened like a copper bell, and a terrible idea flashed in his head. Is there a problem with the scout just now?
He swallowed and had no time to think deeply, because the enemy was getting closer and closer, he had to solve the trouble of the front.
I do n’t know if it ’s cold, or if they are timid in the face of the enemy, many people are shaking.
"Don't panic, the miscellaneous soldiers pushed the cars to the front, the other people assembled from the fast armor, the archers to the grain car gathered."
At the critical moment, Li Dian still issued orders calmly.
It's just that this military order is very cruel, which is equivalent to letting 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers be a cannon fodder to win the time for the remaining combat forces.
However, the Tiger Guard was fully armed, and the movement was fast. The bow and arrow on the head, the stones were under the rain.
Li Dian's people have not completed the knot yet, Xu Chu, Hao Meng has rushed from the east and west roads.
Then the sword intersects, and the two sides are close -up.
As soon as they had a confrontation, Li Dian realized something was wrong.
The enemy in front of us is too powerful, and our troops fall too fast.
Finally, we came to a shocking conclusion: they are not Jiangdong’s soldiers!
