Chapter 242: Do Not Fight Itself
"So, no matter what, we have to wait for them. If they encounter Di Qin's army, we can at least help to kill them for a while, right?"
Looking at Liu Yu's gloomy face, Police Shen could tell that he must have realized the seriousness of the incident.
Fighting on the battlefield never happens overnight, nor does it happen in a moment. This kind of competition is sustained and long-lasting.
You have severely defeated the Qin army, so don’t imagine that the Qin army will not see any flaws or imagine that the Qin army will not fight back.
Now that Liu Yu and the others are victorious, they cannot ignore the follow-up troops. This point, Lao Shen's consideration, is not wrong at all.
"you're right."
“Let’s wait.”
Seeing Liu Yu and the others' gloomy faces, as if they were about to face a storm, Officer Shen smiled happily: "You two don't have to worry too much. We have done our job very cleanly. No one from our army can be found within the confines of Xiangyang City Tower." Even if the people of Di Qin guess that the Jin army is responsible for this, they will not be able to find us and there will be nothing they can do about it."
"Perhaps, after a while, they will leave and they will not encounter the subsequent Jin army at all."
What Lao Shen said is not unreasonable. I hope the Qin army will not be so smart.
………
The Qin army on the ground had an ups and downs in IQ. This was closely related to the generals who led them.
If Murong Chui had led the team, this little trick of Liu Yu and others might have been exposed on the spot.
But now, what Fu Rui sent was Liang Cheng, who had been repeatedly plotted against by the Jin army. Before Liang Cheng took action, the situation seemed to be developing in a direction that was favorable to the Jin army.
“Who asked you to shoot the arrow?”
The horses were galloping, and within a quarter of an hour after leaving the city, Di Qin's cavalry arrived near the entrance.
When Liang Cheng saw clearly the blazing fire on the river, his heart suddenly sank.
Such a big fire must not be as simple as a fire!
Beside Liang Cheng, a small soldier bowed his head and confessed: "General, forgive me, but when I saw the fire, my subordinates were in a panic."
“Forget it, it’s not a big deal.”
In the face of such a prairie fire, no matter how important the matter was, it could not be considered important, and General Liang could not take care of it at all.
“General, this is too tragic!” The cavalry soldiers stopped briefly for a moment about ten feet away from the fence.
They looked at the blazing fire from a distance, and were shocked by the momentum that swept away everything.
Almost all the warships on the Huikou River, big and small, tall and short, were stained by the flames and burned to pieces.
“General Fu’s hard work has all been in vain!”
“What a bunch of rubbish!”
There was no way, Liu Yu and the others didn't want to do things so well in the beginning. They only aimed at those large-scale building ships with powerful combat capabilities. For the small grasshopper boats, they always hoped to burn them one by one.
The mentality that if you have more than one, you will make a profit.
Unexpectedly, the defenders who responded were not prepared at all, and were easily strangled by the Jin army. The matter was done too neatly, which gave the Jin army a lot of time to attack the unlit warships.
Processed it.
The specific operation is also very simple. The river back to the mouth is almost surrounded by fire on all sides. There are fire sources everywhere. The Jin army only needs to tear off some ignited wood and curtains and use them to ignite other ships.
.
Since all the soldiers guarding the Qin army had been wiped out, and there was no one who could go to the city tower to report the news, the Jin army had enough time to arrange everything.
By the time Liang Cheng arrived with his cavalry, there was no room for recovery, and the hard work of the past few months was almost destroyed.
There is no usable ship within the scope of the return port.
The war horses were patrolling, and Liang Cheng was riding on the horse, looking at the fierce fire, extremely anxious. If he could put out the fire, he would have rushed in long ago, why would he waste time here.
The difference between cavalry and infantry is vividly displayed at this moment.
When leaving the city, it was clear that the infantry were running in front, running like crazy towards the back entrance, while the cavalry led by Liang Cheng only left the city after Fu Rui issued a formal order.
However, even if the infantry set off early, after a while, they still lagged far behind the cavalry. Liang Cheng had to pause here in order to wait for the real person to put out the fire.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, several infantrymen carrying buckets appeared in Liang Cheng's field of vision. Liang Cheng said angrily: "Hurry up!"
"I'm just waiting for you to put out the fire, and the boat will be burned down!"
“Yes, I obey!”
The soldiers carried at least four or five buckets each and ran all the way. They were tired and staggered. They arrived after hard work. Before they could take a breath, they were scolded by Liang Cheng. Not to mention how unconvinced they were.
Already.
If he thinks they are too slow and wasting time, he can go first!
Five hundred steps further, on the other side of the fence, there are water sources everywhere on the Huikou River. Their cavalry also has hands and feet, so why can’t they do this job?
If General Liang can take the lead, maybe he can save a few ships!
The soldiers were dissatisfied at heart, but they had to listen to the shouts and act according to Liang Cheng's instructions.
Let's not talk nonsense. The brothers did not dare to delay for a moment, and rushed into the fire scene with buckets. However, when they ran to the fence and were about to come into contact with the fire, they stopped and did not dare to move forward.
.
What happened?
How could this be so?
The double-layered fence that originally stood tall has now been moved to pieces and has become a display with no blocking effect.
You don’t have to go through the fence to see that under the blazing fire, the bodies of Qin soldiers are everywhere on the river bank, behind the fence, and with the corners of the boats hanging down.
Until then, the Qin soldiers had to admit a fact.
“General, this is definitely not as simple as a fire.” Cui Yanyou, a young cavalry general under Liang Cheng, said.
The tragic scene of corpses strewn across the fields and flames soaring into the sky forced Liang Cheng, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, to roll and crawl off his horse.
"quick!"
“Quickly put out the fire!”
In fact, there are not many things left to burn on the river. Without anyone to put out the fire, the fire is gradually extinguishing. It cannot compare with the momentum that shot straight into the sky just now.
Some soldiers rushed into the fire scene first. No matter how many comrades were collapsed there, they had no choice but to go straight to the burning warship.
Without the interference of the Jin army, the Qin army soldiers fetched water bucket after bucket, put out the fire, and carried out various remedial measures in an orderly manner. The fire was quickly under control.
It should be said that because there was not much wood to burn, and the warship was soaked in water, after passing the highest point, the fire was already at the end of the war, and the soldiers just pounced on it, and the fire succumbed.
Chapter completed!
