Chapter 178 Unstoppable(1/2)
It is not difficult to find a new camp north of Liping River. It is highly likely to rely on the Yangtze River. After all, everyone has to prepare to retreat east, and waterways are almost the only choice for the next journey of water and mountainous areas.
Along the way, he asked about several other official and military ships traveling across the river, and Fang Guoan's subordinates quickly determined the target.
Li Ping's troops, who had rushed from Donghubaying to the north last night, were indeed on the north bank where the river entered the river.
Moreover, the news they received said that the small fleet that Li Ping was docking along the river had just set sail and entered the water. The group of people who could not board the ship, which was composed of a large number of cars and horses and many women, elderly and children, was slowly moving inland.
Fang Guoan's generals were all overjoyed, everything was similar to what they expected, and the uneasy heart finally let go.
Because they were walking down the river, they soon saw the Shushui River and then discovered the target.
Looking up from the boat, I passed a few woodlands, and there was a large crowd of carriages and horses not far away on the flat and watery land. It seemed that there were two or three thousand people.
The difference is that these chariots and horses should have stopped.
Perhaps they were unable to escape from the riverside where they were easily harassed and had fantasies about everything.
Amid the waving flags and the sound of trumpets and drums, Fang Guoan's fleet searched for a suitable place to dock, and then groups of soldiers were driven off the ship in chaos.
Although landing on a riverside without a dock is very difficult and difficult for the large army, every soldier who is disembarking or jumping back and forth before ships of all sizes and big or small are still very excited and angry.
Before they boarded the boat, they were told that Li Ping had already fled with most of the soldiers. This was a logistics supply camp that had no time to run. As long as they tried not to kill, they could do whatever they wanted.
No soldier knew that Li Ping had captured Huangpi County yesterday, and no soldier knew the real reason for Fang Wuke's killing, and no soldier wondered why their generals confirmed that this place was just a logistics and logistics force before boarding the ship.
When Fang Guoan, a fleet of flotillas that came to find fault, was landing in a chaotic organization, a few donkey-riding young and old among the huge crowd of chariots and horses in the distance. They came politely to ask whose generals were gathering on the shore and why.
"Which camp are you from?" The leader of Fang Guoan's troops who met did not answer the question but asked. He was one of Fang Guoan's confidants.
"To the guerrilla general Li Ping belongs." The old man who asked the first question and was tactful to answer loudly with his fists.
"Who are there in the camp?"
"Most of them are women, children, and craftsmen, and there are also a small number of guards."
"Why are the army not here?"
"My general captured Huangpi County yesterday, and most of the troops went there and have not returned yet."
"Can your general be there?"
"Huangpi has many military affairs, and my general is in a hurry to deal with some important matters. He is not in the camp at the moment."
Hahaha...hahaha...
The old man's answer attracted a relaxed laughter from Fang Guoan's confidant. After the laughter, he even waved excitedly to another general in the distance.
Inexplicably, the young and old who were leading the donkey, Fang Guoan's confidant general teased: "That's right. I heard that you have young soldiers, we are ordered by General Fang Guoan to protect you. Just go back and wait carefully."
As soon as the words of this confidant general of Fang Guoan fell, all the soldiers and generals beside him burst into laughter, while the faces of the young and old who were riding donkeys suddenly changed.
They probably know what their general Li Ping has done.
"I don't know what the general wants?" The old man's tone was filled with fear.
But what answered him was just whistle and more laughter.
Fang Guoan's soldiers were not stupid enough to say what they were going to do. They were still a long time before they could get off the ship. They didn't want the target to scatter and flee now. It was their own troublesome thing.
After the young and old men were frightened to get the answer and turned around and ran away from the ship, the Fang Guoan soldiers who were still disembarking in chaos were urged more violently and were ordered even more violently.
At the same time, the old man's answer was spread to every soldier with added fuel to the ears of the donkey.
"There are more people fighting than fighting!" This is the simple and simple understanding of most soldiers and generals on Fang Guoan.
As for women, the elderly and children, they are all uncountable!
Although there were nearly two or three thousand people or more on the other side, they themselves said that most of them were women, children, old and weak, and looking at who they came to negotiate, there was not even a mule, their weakness was beyond doubt.
There will be no suspense in this group fight, and the looting will be obviously rich.
When nearly three thousand people gathered together and began to move towards the huge crowd of chariots and horses in the distance, every soldier in Fang Guoan was full of confidence and excitement.
It seemed like a feast that was within reach was right in front of you.
The inflammatory words "Avenge the general for the side, and avenge the general for the side" began to be shouted out over and over again in the crowd and caused a series of sounds.
At this time, the young and old who had been riding donkeys came again with a young and young officer riding a horse.
The little officer riding a horse looked not old but his tone was very stern. He ordered Fang Guoan's army to stop advancing immediately, and at the same time he kept scanning the place where "Avenge Fang for the General" kept shouting in Fang Guoan's army.
"Your general killed our general, don't you pay a price? But don't be afraid, we are not here to kill you, we just plan to beat you up and get some compensation by the way. Of course, if you are good enough, you can avoid beating. We are kind enough!" The general of Fang Guoan, who was leading the head, replied with a ridiculous answer.
They no longer need to hide their purpose. Of course, they also know that to tell the other party that they are not here to kill, they must control the extent of the situation.
Otherwise, it will become a serious bloodshed, and the nature will change.
Zuo Liangyu may not be able to deal with their boss Fang Guoan, but he will definitely make them lose their fish and shrimps.
"Don't look for trouble, otherwise you will bear all the consequences..." The little officer riding a horse was still very strict, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the answer.
The general Fang Guoan, who was leading the head, sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't be shameless. Get all the women and goods well, and put away all the weapons. It's not far from dark. Don't let us get into trouble, and save you from suffering from flesh and blood."
"You are seeking death!" The little officer riding a horse was furious.
But this time, the leader of Fang Guoan's general ignored him and sneered and took the lead in pushing forward.
"Stop quickly, stop quickly, don't go forward..." The little officer who had been riding on the horse began to panic, and at the same time, he was oppressed and retreated continuously.
At this time, the generals of Fang Guoan, who were leading the team at the front, all burst into laughter, and they shouted at the little officers riding horses in a verbal manner.
"You are so kind-hearted, you're so soft now. The man promises you won't get beaten up."
"Boy, don't overestimate yourself, otherwise the man's fists are not vegetarians."
"Go back and tell your people, hide the knife and don't let us see it, otherwise it will not be a problem of beating you."
...
Amidst the movies of teasing, the little officer riding a horse became even more panicked. Although his tone was still trying hard and harsh, his momentum was getting weaker and weaker. The young and old riding donkeys simply turned around and ran away in fear when they saw this.
Looking at the embarrassment and powerlessness of the little officer riding a horse, the soldiers of Fang Guoan who could see this scene in the front row were also very happy, and more jokes and insults followed one after another.
However, although the little officer riding a horse was forced to retreat all the way, he never escaped. Instead, he tried his best but repeated the stern warnings palely.
But except for cursing, no one paid attention to him, and even shouted extremely aggressive words such as "Wash your neck and die by death" and "I'll kill you later."
It was not until the huge crowd of chariots and horses that Fang Guoan had to stop temporarily.
A thin line of spearmen blocked them through woodland and puddles, blocking their way forward.
It was a three-row rectangular line composed of more than one hundred soldiers holding spears, probably three whistles.
At this time, the little officer riding a horse finally took the opportunity to retreat to the rear of those spear infantry formations.
However, looking at the thin and quiet spear formation opposite, Fang Guoan's army burst into a fierce sneer.
The head-in-chief General Fang Guoan took a long time to calm down the army and shouted loudly: "Listen to the opposite side, put away all the weapons and get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
But what answered him was a sharp arrow shot out from behind the opposite spear phalanx.
The sharp arrow pierced two meters in front of the head of the leader Fang Guoan's general with a huge arc, and scared the horse's people.
"You are seeking death!" The leader of Fang Guoan excitedly pulled the knife out of the scabbard and waved it a few times at the spear front a hundred meters away.
The entire Fang Guoan army was also in an uproar, and many people also raised their weapons in their hands and waved them and began to yell.
"If you don't want to die, put down your weapons!"
"I angered my grandpa and told you to die a good death."
"Don't make yourself unhappy, children across the board."
...
Although Fang Guoan's troops were here to fight in groups, they all carried weapons and were fully equipped. Otherwise, they would not be hitting people but seeking death.
However, the soldiers in the spear formation opposite did not seem to be intimidated. They continued to be strangely quiet without any panic.
Suddenly, after a sharp sound of "swish-swish-swish", the soldiers in the three spear phalanx suddenly burst out with three neat and majestic shouts, "Those who advance die! Those who advance die! Those who advance die!"
Many of Fang Guoan's soldiers and generals are actually not unfamiliar with the sharp sound of "swallow-swallow". A small number of people even know that the thing that makes this sound is called a whistle, because Zhao Jin's troops stationed in Hanyang with them are also useful.
But the neat shouts of the soldiers were so loud that they instantly overshadowed all the noise and calmed everyone down.
The leading general Fang Guoan was a little uneasy. He had fought a war, so of course he knew what this meant.
But when he rode his horse and looked back at the shock, he burst out with bigger and more chaotic curses and ridicule again. Looking at the black heads, he felt that there was no reason to worry.
If you beat 10, you will be useless if you have the elite!
As for whether the other party would actually use weapons to stab them, he didn't even think about it. He felt that this was just trying to scare them.
Unless the opponent goes crazy, he doesn't want to live anymore.
Many Fang Guoan's soldiers and generals probably thought so. They were not formed at all and started to move forward slowly. The absolute advantage in numbers gave them fearless power.
"Those who advance die! Those who advance die! Those who advance die!" The neat shout sounded again.
At the same time, a rustling sound suddenly came from a forest on the front right of Fang Guoan's army, and then a group of bird gun soldiers with about a hundred people came out in a thread with bird guns.
Due to the terrain, the group of bird gun soldiers probably formed an uneven diagonal line directly facing the right front wing of the entire Fang Guoan army. The closest between the two sides was only about one hundred meters apart.
Since this distance is only slightly larger than the spear square array, it is already within the effective range of the bird gun, and sharp-eyed people can easily see that the fuses wrapped in the hands of the bird gun soldiers are all ignited, and their intuitive feeling is obviously more threatening than the spear.
To be continued...
