The arrival of hundreds of thousands of people stretched like a river with no end in sight. Countless soldiers kept moving forward in this river of people with their heads lowered, mechanically and monotonously.
"Brother, why are we leaving like this?"
¡°It¡¯s not fun to leave early and go home early!¡±
"No, I just feel like I left a little suddenly. We've already arrived in Pyongyang. Why don't we attack the city? I heard that there are countless good things in the city."
At this time, an older soldier approached the younger one and whispered: "I heard that the army was out of food, so I had to leave."
The young soldier was shocked and said loudly: "How could it be? I heard that the imperial court has mountains and seas of food. How can we still be short of food?"
The older soldier asked back: "Do you still have food on you?"
The young soldier was speechless for a moment, but he said with some disbelief: "I don't have it on me, but the Chinese army should have it."
"What are you doing? No noise is allowed during the march." At this time, the two people were talking too loudly, which immediately attracted a scolding from the captain. The two of them were startled, lowered their heads in a hurry, did not dare to speak any more, and hurried to catch up.
In fact, this kind of conversation was spread in countless places. Not long after, the entire army knew that there was no food in the army, which immediately caused panic in the army.
"It's a pity that at this time, Yu Zhongwen and Yuwen Shuguang were thinking about rushing on their way, and did not notice the turmoil in the military morale at all.
The entire army's food and grass can last for three days at most, but Yu Zhongwen is not worried. As long as they successfully cross the Sa River, they can reach Wugu City even if they have to kill horses, and there is still a batch of reserve food and grass available there. emergency.
At this time, Yu Zhongwen had no choice but to place his hopes on Zuo Wuwei. The army trained by Huang Mingyuan himself should be a strong force anyway.
In the evening, the Sa River was already in sight. At this time, the Zuowuwei scouts who came from the north went straight to the army and reported the military situation of the Sa River to Yu Zhongwen.
Da Xihao has built three simple pontoon bridges on the Sa River and made a large number of bamboo rafts to support the army in crossing the river.
Yu Zhongwen was overjoyed and ordered all ministries to speed up and cross the Sa River before dawn.
At this time, Da Xihao personally led his troops to set up defenses at the Sa River, and ordered Huang Mingli to lead the main cavalry to reconnoiter north. Huben Lang's general Cai Zhiyun personally led his troops to guard the ferry, preparing to meet the army.
At this time, Cai Zhiyun¡¯s lieutenant general Zhou Zhongan said: ¡°General, have you noticed that the water level of Sa River is a little shallow this year?¡±
"Have it?"
Zhou Zhongan said: "General Lang knows that my father once commanded the navy for a long time. I also stayed with my father and learned about water affairs. Looking at the riverbed, it is obvious that the water level has dropped a lot before it was newly exposed."
After Zhou Zhongan said this, Cai Zhiyun became a little belatedly aware of it.
"It shouldn't be. There was a lot of rain in the rainy season this year. When we crossed the Yalu River before, the road was very muddy and difficult to walk. There is no reason for the water level to drop during the wet season."
"Unless someone blocks the water coming upstream."
Cai Zhiyun was startled and became serious at this time, saying to Zhou Zhongan: "This matter is not a joke."
"Don't worry, Mr. General, there is definitely nothing wrong."
Cai Zhiyun immediately went to Da Xihao's army and reported the matter to Da Xihao.
Da Xihao was also surprised. If the Goguryeo people really stored water upstream, the consequences would be disastrous when the army crossed the river.
Da Xihao urgently ordered Zuo Tiancheng to lead his troops up the river to investigate the situation. He crossed the river himself to meet Yu Zhongwen and persuaded him to postpone crossing the river.
At this time, Yu Zhongwen also rushed to the Sa River and was stopped by Da Xihao.
Everyone was dubious after hearing Da Xihao's statement. The Sa River is so wide, how could the Goguryeo people intercept it in the river. And the most important thing is that the chasing army of Goguryeo is behind them, and the army has no time to delay here.
Both Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenshu advocated leaving quickly.
Both of them felt that it was night and it was easy to hide, so the Goguryeo people could not find traces of the Sui army. If they successfully cross the river, they can escape from the Goguryeo encirclement.
Da Xihao refused to listen, so everyone decided to cross the river that night.
By the time of the third watch, both sides of the Sa River were silent, and no sound could be heard.
Yu Zhongwen ordered Zhang Jin's Xiangping Army to be the front army; his Lelang Army and Zhao Xiaocai's Jieshi Army to be the middle army; Yu Wenshu's Fuyu Army to be the right army; Cui Hongsheng's Suicheng Army to be the left army; Xin Shixiong's Xuan Tu The army was the rear army and crossed the river in batches.
At this time, the moonlight was hazy, making the entire Sa River shine brightly.
The army has crossedAfter more than an hour of river crossing, tens of thousands of people have reached the other side. At this time, only a roar was heard upstream, and everyone was shocked. Not long after, the rolling river water came towards the west.
"It's wet!"
The soldiers who were crossing the river were shocked. The overwhelming water was blocking them from all directions, making them suffocating. The bamboo rafts still in the river were immediately overturned, and the three pontoon bridges were quickly washed away by the flood.
Countless soldiers fell into the water and struggled up and down. But at this time, one wave after another hit the river, pushing countless soldiers to high places, falling down, and then being swept into the bottom of the river.
The Sa River originates from the southwest foot of Langlin Mountain in Goguryeo and flows south to west. The terrain in the upper reaches is steep and the lower reaches are plains, with a huge amount of water. Eulji Mundeok built a dam to intercept the Sa River and stored the water for several days. This time the water broke through the embankment and swept away the entire Sui army.
By this time, the Sui army was completely in disarray. A rolling stream of water divided the more than 200,000-strong army into two parts.
The Zuowuwei soldiers on the north bank of the river immediately dragged bamboo rafts and ropes to rescue people, but to no avail. In the face of the power of nature, human power is so insignificant.
Cai Zhiyun¡¯s eyes were split open. What kind of battle was this?
At this time, Da Xihao was still on the other side, and the only organized Sui army on the north bank of the Sa River was the Zengdi Army. Cai Zhiyun took himself as the commander-in-chief and commanded the entire army. On the one hand, he ordered people to go north to find Huang Mingli and bring his main cavalry back into the army; on the other hand, he divided his army into two. He and Yao Junsu each commanded one, and arranged the defense line into two internal and external lines to prevent the Goguryeo army. Killed suddenly.
The army was in chaos all night and was exhausted.
At dawn, the turbulent Sa Shui finally calmed down. Looking around, the entire Sa River was covered with corpses of the Sui army. No one knew how many there were. They are so densely packed, one after another, that people are frightened to see them.
Cai Zhiyun rushed to repair the pontoon bridge. There were more than 100,000 troops on the other side of the river, and they must all be sent to the other side of the river.
Yu Zhongwen crossed the river too early. At this time, he was in shock and looked at the army that was defeated so miserably. He couldn't help crying loudly.
He is finished!
Cai Zhiyun had no time to take care of Yu Zhongwen. He could only hand over the rescued Sui army to Yu Zhongwen and let him reorganize the army. Cai Zhiyun firmly controlled the only organized army on the north bank and would not give it to Yu Zhongwen. opportunity for Wen to intervene.
It was daybreak and the flood had passed, but no one had the feeling of surviving the disaster. Everyone knew that after the flood, what they had to face was the Goguryeo army that was coming quickly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
