"Don't you remember that before I went to war, I had someone prepare some wooden boards? Now it's time for them to come in handy." This was what Pei Qing said to Xun You. This sentence immediately made Xun You understand that behind the dense forest was a river. Pei Qing brought some wooden boards, and it was obvious that he wanted to use these wooden boards to cross the river. It seemed that Pei Qing had indeed prepared for it.

However, Xun You immediately remembered a question, and his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Pei Qing in confusion: "But General, You seem to remember that the wooden boards we brought were not long enough. The narrowest part of the river is two feet long, but the wooden boards we brought were only more than 16 feet long, less than 17 feet long. How can we cross the river? If we wade, let alone the river water is very deep and the water flows very fast. Even if we can wade, the sound we wade in is enough for the other party to hear it. In this way, there is no way to leave silently. Once the other party catches up, we will not only be unable to rush to Xinfeng City, but also fall into crisis."

However, Pei Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "I have already thought about this. I know that there is a right-angle bend along a section of the dense forest. We cross the river there. We only need two wooden boards to build a simple floating bridge. You will know then."

Xun You knew about that right-angle curve. In fact, it was precisely because of this that the other party was confidently trapping them in the dense forest, and reducing the dispersion of troops.

However, Xun You did not expect that Pei Qing could also use the terrain to escape quickly under such circumstances? Isn’t this really surprising?

Pei Qing then ordered the army to evacuate quietly and arrive at the right-angle bend.

Xun You followed him without saying a word. He widened his eyes and saw how Pei Qing could cross the river?

Pei Qing placed one of the wooden boards obliquely on both sides of the right-angle bend, so that the wooden board became a right-angle triangle oblique. Then Pei Qing stepped on the oblique and placed a shorter piece of the other wooden board on the opposite bank and the other end on the oblique. This kind of a suggested and stable floating bridge was built.

Pei Qing then ordered the soldiers to use this principle and use two wooden boards as a support to build more than a dozen similar floating bridges.

"This, this..." After seeing this scene, Xun You couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't expect that Pei Qing could use this method to build a floating bridge. Even though he had been studying for many years, he had never heard of such an incredible method.

The Xiliang army under Hu Zhen's command were even more shocked. Even Xun You didn't expect anything. They would never have thought that they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles and had experienced many battles of all sizes. However, they had never heard of such a coincidence way of crossing the river. For a moment, they were simply respectful to Pei Qing.

Pei Qing then ordered the army to cross the river, and let the eight thousand Xiliang troops cross the river first, and he would personally lead the army to cut off the rear.

All the soldiers of Xiliang were moved. They were all full of gratitude. Although they wanted Pei Qing to cross the river first, they could only obey orders under Pei Qing's insistence and stepped on the wooden boards and quickly crossed the river.

Now there were more than a dozen floating bridges in front of the soldiers. The soldiers knew that time was urgent and crossed the river was very fast. In just one hour, all the soldiers successfully completed crossing the river. During this process, only a dozen soldiers fell into the river and were washed away by the water.

Although this loss is simply not worth mentioning to the army of tens of thousands of people, Pei Qing was still heartbroken. If it weren't for the time shortage, the pontoon bridge was simple, and the sky was dark, and it was a little unclear, he believed that no warrior would suffer any loss.

So Pei Qing ordered the dozen soldiers to register and register them, and then he would reconcile their contributions and provide them with their families. He would never let the victims die in vain.

After completing the crossing of the river, Pei Qing ordered the wooden board to be pulled away as much as possible. First, he was unwilling to let the other party cross the river on the floating bridge he built, and second, he was unwilling to let the other party learn his own method. However, even so, there was only one wooden board, which was the oblique edge of a right-angle triangle that was originally built.

"After my orders, all the soldiers of the army rushed to Xinfeng City immediately to assist Xinfeng. No matter how much the price they paid, we must not let Xinfeng City lose."

After successfully completing the crossing of the river, Pei Qing immediately ordered the rectification of the team and rush to Xinfeng to help.

As Pei Qing expected, Xinfeng City was carrying out a fierce offensive and defensive battle at this time. After Pei Qing led the army to leave, Guo Si immediately led the army to siege Xinfeng City and launched a fierce attack overnight.

It is not easy to attack the city at night, nor is it easy to defend the city, because the soldiers on the top of the city must accurately determine where the siege soldiers are. In order to ensure their sight, they must use torches, but once the torches are lit, they become living targets for archers under the city.

In the end, in order to avoid more casualties, Xu Rong had to order the torch to be put out, but in this way, it was difficult to determine where the siege soldiers had gone, so he could only throw rolling wood and stones under the city mechanically.

However, the other party is not stupid, and their siege is intermittent. They often wait until the wave of throwing wooden rocks is over before climbing up. Many times they are almost at the top of the city before being discovered by the defenders.

Under this situation, the defenders suffered heavy losses. In just three hours, nearly 2,000 people had been killed and more than 3,000 were injured, and four or five hundred of them were seriously injured.

As the main general, Xu Rong was under great pressure. Of course, he understood the importance of this battle and knew that this battle would not be lost, because once the city was broken and Xinfeng was lost, their lives would be lost, and Chang'an was also in danger. Now Xu Rong had only one thought in his mind, and he would return early with Pei Qing's army. If Pei Qing could come back, he would form a pincer attack on the enemy. This would not be difficult to force the enemy to retreat.

"I don't know why General Pei's team has not arrived yet. Could it be that they have encountered some crisis?" Xu Rong was very worried, but he did not dare to say it out, because this would seriously affect the morale of the army, which would lead to the morale of the army quickly collapse.

"Fortunately, another general in the city, Li Su, was a mortal enemy of the Xiliang army, and there was no possibility of reconciliation. If Hu Zhen had been here, he would have opened the door to surrender long ago. So in this way, the Grand Governor is really foresighted, but where are you now? It is clear that Xinfeng City is now at the moment of life and death."

At this time, the general under the city laughed loudly and said, "Are you still thinking that Pei Qing will rescue you? Tell you, don't be foolish. Pei Qing is now trapped by our army in the dense forest ten miles away and dare not come out at all. I said you should surrender, don't struggle to death, it's useless."

"What? Even Dadu was trapped? No wonder he hasn't come back until now." Xu Rong was shocked when he heard this, but he had no idea of ​​betrayal. He shot an arrow at the general and shouted loudly: "Old Guo Duo, don't be nonsense. The Grand Governor is unparalleled. How can you surround him? If you want Xinfeng City, then you can just step on our corpse. As long as I, Xu Rong, have a breath, I will definitely not let your plan succeed."

"Since that's the case, then you'll die." Guo Si was furious and shouted loudly: "I will order the order to attack the city immediately. Which one will be the first to stand on Xinfeng City, and be granted a title of Guanneihou, and reward a thousand gold!"

"Kill!" After Guo Si gave the order, the soldiers roared loudly and rushed towards the top of the city.

However, at this moment, I heard a sudden burst of riots behind the formation, accompanied by the screams of soldiers from time to time.

"What happened?" Guo Si asked in a deep voice.

A general staggered over and said loudly: "General, something is wrong. Pei Qing and Pei Qing led their troops to kill. Our army was caught off guard and could not resist."
