Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1344 Crossing the River

On the bank of Fen River, at Luowangzhuang Ferry.

The water is gurgling and thousands of sails are racing across the river.

Zhang Sanbai stood on the bank of Fenhe River, looking at the ferries filled with soldiers and horses, and he was full of emotions for a while.

Back then, he and his sister Ma Yingniang were just buskers in Luoyang City.

A few years later, not only did his sister become the concubine of King Shun, but he also became a general with a heavy army.

It’s really a mess and everything is impermanent!

Where are the variables?

Of course it is with His Royal Highness King Shun!

If King Shun hadn't warned him, he and his sister would probably have been buried in the belly of a fish, and where would they have gotten their wealth today?

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but secretly made up his mind to kill the "Donglu Azige Tribe" in order to retaliate against King Shun.

"Zhang Shuai, there is someone spying on the other side. Could it be a Tatar spy?" At this moment, Li Wanqing saw the movement on the other side of the river and couldn't help but remind him quickly.

"Donglu is a soldier who has fought hundreds of battles, how can he be careless?" Zhang Sanbai said indifferently when he heard this, "Tell the officials and the people to speed up the landing, and then form the formation as soon as possible according to the plan."

It turned out that Zhang Sanbai had understood clearly that if the Hou Jin soldiers had entered the Lingshi, he could surprise the entrance of the Lingshi and then completely encircle and annihilate the Azige tribe.

However, things often turn out to be unsatisfactory in life, so Azig is not a fool, so how could he fall into a trap?

Now that Azig has occupied Jiexiu, the rebels' top priority is to appear outside Jiexiu city as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.

It turned out that for Hou Jin, Jiexiu City was certainly a new base, but for the rebels, it would only take more than a month to occupy Jiexiu and its surrounding areas.

Since ancient times, people's hearts have been unpredictable and unpredictable.

Although Zhang Shun was called Renyi, the rebel army's occupation of Shanxi was short-lived.

Before its favor has arrived, its power has not increased, and the people are unyielding and unafraid, which is actually the rebel army's biggest worry.

Therefore, for the rebels, whether they can reach Jiexiu as soon as possible and declare their presence is far more important than winning a battle.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happened in the city and the gentry and merchants defected to the enemy, giving the enemy a foundation, things would be in trouble.

So this time the rebels not only had to arrive in time, but also had to do so with great fanfare.

The best thing to do is to make the trouble known to everyone.

Luowangzhuang Ferry is only a dozen miles away from Jiexiu City, and it can be reached in an instant on horseback.

Not long after, Prince Azige of Jin Yingwu County got the news, and he couldn't help being surprised and said: "So fast?"

If the Hou Jin soldiers move forward and the rebel army pursues them, it would be normal for them to catch up so quickly.

But now, as soon as the Hou Jin soldiers penetrated deep into the hinterland of the rebel army, a team arrived. This was a dangerous signal for the battle-hardened Azig.

"Prince, what should I do?" After hearing the words, the left and right people couldn't help but ask.

"First send two thousand cavalry to harass and prevent the 'Shun Thieves' from crossing the river, and then send people to call back Yang Guli and Mandarhan to prepare for a decisive battle with the 'Shun Thieves'!" Azig pondered for a moment and couldn't help but make up his mind.

"When it comes to attacking and defending the city, I am not as good as the Southern Dynasty; when it comes to fighting in the wild, the Southern Dynasty is absolutely invincible!"

"This..." Zuo Zuo hesitated when he heard the words, and finally responded helplessly, "Cha!"

"What, are you asking me to withdraw my troops?" Not long after, Azig's military order came to the Mandarhan camp. Mandarhan pointed at the crumbling Wang family compound and couldn't help but say in disbelief.

The Hou Jin Dynasty always paid attention to "cutting the grass and roots" in using troops. For example, the Baigan soldiers, Qi's army, and all opponents who dared to resist themselves were attacked at all costs.

Now that the destruction of the Wang Family Courtyard is imminent, the county king actually ordered the troops to withdraw. This is really unprecedented.

"This is the military order of the county king. If you don't want to listen, then there's nothing I can do about it!" The visitor sneered when he heard this, turned around and left.

When Mandarhan saw this, he couldn't help being frightened. He quickly pulled and begged: "Don't, don't, don't, I will withdraw my troops now, I will withdraw my troops now!"

The military law of the Later Jin Dynasty was strict. Although Namandarhan belonged to Zhenghuang Banner and his master was the "current Holy Emperor" Hong Tai, he was also worried that Azig would deal with him openly for disobeying military orders.

Following Mandarhan's order, the Houjin soldiers who had already breached the second gate of Wang's manor immediately receded like the tide.

Wang's guards and Ding Zhuang, who had been struggling to support themselves, felt that the pressure was gone, and they suddenly felt like they were surviving a disaster.

"Retreat, the Jianlu soldiers retreat!" Seeing the terrifying enemy retreating, everyone couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Soon these sounds reached the ears of Wang Xie, the head of the Wang family. He couldn't help but confirm repeatedly: "Really retreated? Really retreated?"

"I really quit, Master, I really quit!" The old housekeeper couldn't help crying with joy.

"Our Wang family has been saved, saved!"

"Hey, I really saved it!" Wang Xie's tense nerves relaxed and he almost fell to the ground.

"By the way, where is Wang An? Ask him to send a few more people to confirm whether the Jianlu have retreated or if they have some ulterior motives to prevent the other party from coming back!"

"Wang An was hit by Jianlu's arrow and is currently recovering. I have sent others to take care of it!" the old housekeeper responded after hearing this.

"Yes!" Wang Xie nodded when he heard this and said, "It's serious or not. Find a doctor to take a good look at him. Don't hurt his life."

"It's getting late today, so I won't go there. Early tomorrow morning, I'll bring some gifts to see him, and I'll also see the other wounded."

"Master is kind and righteous!" the old housekeeper praised after hearing this.

"By the way, is the reason why Jianlu retreated this time because of King Shun's troops?" The king Xie waved his hand and did not take the old housekeeper's compliment to heart, but ordered.

"Send someone to verify it as soon as possible. This is related to our future."

"Understood, there are still our people in and outside the city. I guess there will be news early tomorrow morning." The old housekeeper pondered for a moment and couldn't help but reply.

"Oh, by the way, people from the Ji family and Hou family in the north of the city are also here."

"Their family was also attacked this morning, but because our family warned us in advance and was well prepared, we did not suffer much damage."

"They expressed their readiness to follow the leader's lead and the three families to work together to advance and retreat together!"

"Okay, their words are enough!" Wang Xie nodded when he heard this, "You understand my thoughts, I won't say any more."

"I understand, old slave, let's do it now!" The old housekeeper heard this and didn't know that the master of the family had "different intentions", so he couldn't help but responded quickly.

Not to mention the calculations of the Wang, Ji, Hou and other families, let's say that the rebel army had just crossed a battalion of men and horses, and a group of cavalry had already appeared in the sight of the rebel army.

"No, the Donglu cavalry is coming!" Li Wanqing couldn't help but screamed strangely.

"Why panic? Act according to the plan!" Zhang Sanbai scolded him, and then ordered, "Set out with the battleships, and use artillery and blunderbuss to cover the wings of the officials and the people."

It turned out that the first battalion to cross the Fen River was none other than the Ministry of Officials and People.

This official was originally the son of Yansui's famous general Guan Bingzhong. He was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia. It was only because the rebel army captured Ningxia that he surrendered to King Shun.

Regardless of his reputation, this person's status and status are extraordinary.

Even though he was under Zhang Sanbai's command now, Zhang Sanbai didn't dare to yell at him. Instead, he and Zhang Tianlin were used as his deputies.

One of the two men has a respected position among the surrendered generals, and the other has an outstanding reputation among the Shaanxi rebels, but they complement each other and are different from each other.

During the previous attack on Fenzhou City, Zhang Tianlin performed well, and the officials and the people were holding their breath in their hearts.

Now seeing Zhang Sanbai letting himself take the lead in crossing the Fen River and establishing a bridgehead, it was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing the Hou Jin Cavalry appear on the eastern horizon, the officials and the people couldn't help but shout "Well done", and then ordered the soldiers to line up with their backs against the water.

What is the formation?

Backing the water but the moon array!

Sun Chuanting was not the only one. In fact, since the original campaign plan of the rebel army was to be carried out along the Fen River, Zhang Shun naturally asked his generals to practice this formation more.

Although Guan Fumin was not as resourceful and heroic as his father Guan Bingzhong, he was still a veteran general, so he still had this ability.
