Chapter 431

With Yang Qianwan being killed, he personally led the Hehuang Di tribe's direct troops who rushed to the front and attacked Guan Yu camp, and suffered the most heavy losses at the same time.

Because compared with Song Jian's Fenghan soldiers and Han Sui's Jincheng soldiers, the Di troops did not realize until the last moment when the flood was coming, and they realized that they should find a high place to avoid water. The blood and noise that had been rushing before made them miss the important escape time.

With the "boom" sounds, thousands of Di barbarian soldiers were knocked down by the huge waves. Even if the first wave of the flood peak was only waist-high, the northwest soldiers who had never seen the flood still fell and almost did not stand up.

In addition, the direction of their attack was the ferry camp at the low-lying bank of the Yellow River. As soon as they fell down, they were slightly rushed out of the north for a hundred steps away, and they would directly enter the main river of the Yellow River. Even if they were stunned by the waves and wanted to struggle to stand up, the Yellow River was already surging under their feet.

As long as you don't get back to your feet within half a minute after falling down, it means you can never stand up again.

Song Jian's troops performed much better than the Di troops. After all, they also besieged Guan Yu camp from the west, and were in the upper reaches, with a short reaction time. Everyone gave up fighting and tried their best to find a relatively high place to stand nearby.

After all, after the water head is fully passed, the deepest place is only at the chest, so at least you can survive if you stand a little higher. When Guan Yu's army built a camp, it was built with rammed earth and buried the village wall with picket piles, which became the best temporary shelter.

Stepping on rammed earth can only flood the water to the waist. If you hang your arms on a pointed wooden stake, you can further flood the water to only flood the calf. What’s hateful is that Guan Yu cut the wooden stake too sharply, making it impossible for him to climb up and sit directly on the top, which will be pierced like a prisoner of a vampire.

Countless soldiers of Song Jianhan's army snatched the foothold of the rammed earth wall like crazy. In the most extreme cases, they even slashed each other. They drew their swords and grabbed the backs of the comrades hanging on the wall with both hands, chopped them up to death and fell into the water, and went up to seize these scarce high places.

The Han Sui soldiers who were even more downstream had not looked so ugly. They had one or two minutes to escape, so they would not have to be so cruel that they killed their comrades and snatched the high ground.

Some of them located on the southern edge of the battlefield desperately thought they could run to the hillside of Gaolan Mountain and leave the valley lowlands.

Among them, those with very straight legs and feet were really successful, but those with poor running scores were finished. They were knocked down while panting and exhausted, and their situation became increasingly dangerous.

Others who are not close to the southern edge of the battlefield can only hang out on the water, or their morale collapses and turn back to Jincheng to escape. However, those deserters who are chased by the flood often have the worst outcome.

The rebels from Yang, Song and South Korea faced the ugly situation of Hongfeng suddenly, which fully demonstrated a truth that was widely circulated in later generations:

For people in the northwest, swimming is impossible to be born with. It takes a period of time to explore and practice. No matter how strong your body is, as long as you can't swim, you will be nervous, at a loss when facing floods, and will be flooded.

...

However, even if Song Jian and Han Sui's soldiers temporarily killed each other and robbed each other to a high-level water-retard position, Guan Yu's army would soon harvest them.

Because at the same time, Guan Yu's soldiers had already been leisurely pursuing the first wave in the caravan. Guan Yu was very knowledgeable and had already made preparations in advance. Before the war, he piled up military supplies in each box car.

In addition to the last 6,000 kilograms of load was reserved for 15 soldiers in each car, the other 10,000 kilograms of load was first pressed with other supplies to prevent them from being washed away by the big waves. (The soldiers at the end of the Han Dynasty were not very nutritious, and the person who was seven feet tall was already considered tall. On average, 250 kilograms per person, which is more than 60 kilograms in later generations. But the total number of weapons and armor is 30 kilograms)

In addition to the basin, Guan Yu also asked the soldiers to dig soil and pile it up in advance before the arrival of the flood peak. In this way, the soil can also buffer some of the pressure of the flood peak, and it will not be easy to get rid of the rammed earth and drive away after the water rises.

Guan Yu's soldiers survived the flood peak almost without any loss, then slightly pulled away the rammed earth that had not yet been washed away with the oars, and directly rowed the caravan to launch a counterattack.

Each car was seated with fifteen soldiers, six to eight people paddling, and the rest used crossbows, and some cars also had Zhuge crossbows that were removed from the defense line of the village wall.

Because the water is shallow and close to the bank of the Yellow River, each car also has a pole-supporting hand in iron armor to avoid accidentally drifting into the Yellow River, or where it is too shallow, it is not suitable for paddling.

The pole-holding hand is usually held by soldiers of the camp. The pole-holding force has iron armor and strong strength. It can extend a bamboo pole that is almost as long as a car to the bottom of the water, and then pierce it into the soil like an anchor to fix the body of the car. If you want to stop, you can stop at any time.

With such a thorough preparation, the troops' mobility in shallow water is relaxed and relaxed, just like (lu) fish in water.

"Swoosh swish swish--"

"Puff puff puff--"

"Tu tuk--"

Crossbow arrows, especially crossbow arrows, are almost close to thirty steps to release arrow storms in a leisurely manner, and line up to name a storm.

The sound of breaking through the air, the sound of flesh entering the flesh, and the sound of arrows nailing on wooden stakes intertwined into the ears. The former is the densest, the latter is the second, and the last is the most sparse. The hit rate of the accumulated shooting is terrible, which shows that.

The Di soldiers and the Shihan soldiers screamed endlessly, and they fell into the water in rows.

Some Di soldiers did not have bows or arrows in their hands, and even lost their spears to facilitate climbing when they escaped, and they had to fight back with their waist knives. However, they were stimulated by this unilateral massacre and their nerves collapsed. They did not care about it and stimulated their bravery, and wanted to fight to the death.

Hundreds of Di warriors took advantage of the water head slightly and the water level stabilized, and shouted that they would raid the guys in battle and rushed towards the caravan formation, but at least half of them obviously underestimated the momentum of the water flow-

Even if the highest peak has passed and the water level no longer rises, the water flow rate is actually not slow. These people do not understand physics and think that as long as the water level does not rise, it means that the impact is weak. As a result, they did not stand firm and were washed away as soon as they got into the water.

More soldiers saw the mistakes of their companions and walked forward carefully step by step, but this kind of storm-speed charge obviously had no chance to climb into the caravan. The best performance was to walk about ten steps in the caravan and then be taken away with a precise arrow.

After giving one or two thousand people free of charge, the Qinghan soldiers and the Di soldiers finally gave up all attempts in close combat, and only those soldiers with bows and arrows shot against the caravans and attacked each other. No one else struggled. At most, they could wait until the comrade-armed archers died in battle and picked up the dead's bow and continued to shoot the arrows.

Unfortunately, the caravan made by Li Su was originally a combat type that was fine to fight against the Western Liang cavalry in the Great Gobi Desert. The baffles on both sides were very high. Han crossbowmen could wear cast iron helmets, exposing their shoulders, necks, and heads to shoot against the enemy. More than 80% of their bodies were blocked behind a one-and-a-half-inch-thick wooden board.

The Di soldiers and the Shihan soldiers also had fortifications to cover them - they could rely on wooden stake walls to hide from arrows. But the problem was that their soldiers almost filled both sides of the wall, and the soldiers on the inner side all became living targets.

Guan Yu's army was very careful to name all the enemy's crossbows leaning against the inside of the village wall, and finally the mental breakdown dived directly to avoid it. Then Guan Yu led the convoy to the outside of the village, and then called the opposite side of the village wall as usual.

After being tortured by the mentally slaughtered with such efficient efficiency for a full half-quarter of an hour, Song Jian completely collapsed, making the soldiers shout that they were willing to surrender, but asked Guan Yu to ensure that they could not die after surrender.

The reason why Song Jian had this concern was that he was really an old thief who had been rebelling against the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and his black materials were not cleaner than Han Sui. Although Han Sui had more soldiers than Song Jian and had more bad deeds in taking the initiative to attack the Guanzhong imperial controlled area, Han Sui never dared to establish an account and change the era.

Although Song Jian did not proclaim himself emperor, he relied on the estuary of the Yellow River in the Kuhan area and even the Jishishan Mountain behind him that the terrain was almost too remote, so he dared to build his own year name!

When Han Sui was defeated by Huangfu Song seven years ago, he felt that Han Sui was ahead and his strength was greatly reduced, so he could not threaten him. There was still Han Sui between the court and him, and it was impossible for him to cross Han Sui to attack him. He became bolder and called himself "King of Han Ping Han at the Heshou".

To be king cannot be considered as a rebellion, and to be emperor is to be rebellious. But to be king, to be king, to be changed to the reign, that is definitely to be rebellious. This is also the reason why Cao Cao later conquered Xiliang when he was conquering Xiliang, even if Han Sui could find a way to surrender, Song Jian had to stand the end and was finally defeated and killed by Xiahou Yuan in the area of ​​Kuanghan and Xingguo.

If he hadn't been forced to go to the forefront and was about to be shot and killed into a hedgehog at this moment, he wouldn't have led the crowd to surrender and negotiated terms with Guan Yu.

However, Guan Yu really has principles: How can those who have established the number of people and changed the era? If they can forgive them, wouldn’t Zhang Jiao, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and Zhang Lu be forgiven?

This is not something to be discussed. If Guan Yu talks about it, he will be impeached when he goes back, and even slandered Liu Bei's camp and be caught by other princes.

Therefore, Guan Yu made the soldiers shout in the caravan with righteous words: "Song Jianjian is rebelling, and the crime is unforgivable! Those who are fake prime ministers, three dukes, and below the general, can only be exempted from being killed by Song Jian and surrender!"

After saying that, he continued to cover the rain of arrows, shooting hundreds of soldiers on the earthen embankment of the camp that Song Jian was guarding.

Finally, internal strife broke out on the embankment. Some soldiers of Shihan waved their waists and slashed at Song Jian's direct guards, and killed them. The swords and swords were killed in a ball.

Guan Yu's army did not stop shooting arrows at all, and continued to shoot and urge them. However, the direction of the arrow rain slightly adjusted and tried to shoot at Song Jian's guards. However, if the archery technique was not accurate, it would be impossible to accidentally injure the soldiers who revolted in front of the formation.

After half a cup of tea, the bloody massacre was completely over. A group of soldiers waved Song Jian's head wearing a helmet, as well as his arms, thighs, and torso, begging Guan Yu to stop shooting the arrows.

Song Xin, the son of Song Jian, who was with the army, was also dismembered from his body and performed his contributions. Unfortunately, the three puppet dukes he had named were still in the old nests of Xingguo and other places, and did not come with the army.

Only then did Guan Yu order: throw all the weapons into the water or insert them on the wooden wall! Putting down the weapons is considered surrender.

The remaining Di soldiers and the Qinghan soldiers all put down their weapons and waited for the prisoners obediently. Guan Yu then freed up his hand and divided only a few hundred people to guard the prisoners. The remaining troops turned back to the position of Han Sui's troops downstream to kill.
