Chapter 729

PS: ask for monthly ticket

The nearest border town to Nanyan is Dingyuan, which is larger than Baishui city. A small part of the garrison in the city are the original border troops, and others are County soldiers brought by Fang Xie from Yongbei Sandao. After rectifying the county soldiers, they were sent here. The life in the border town honed the tenacity of some of them and made some of them complain.

This kind of thing is common to the soldiers of the frontier army, and so are the recruits brought in before. Time can change everything. Go out to kill more people and face more dangers. Slowly, these complaining County soldiers will become calm and cold.

"General, opposite Qingyuan City."

Don't point to the magnificent city opposite: "since the defeat of Murong yongduo and the escape of Nanyan disabled soldiers, the defenders of Qingyuan City have closed the border and even demolished the stone bridges on the river."

Fang Xie stood on the wall and looked at it with a thousand li eye. He found that the distance between Dingyuan city and Qingyuan City was not far, no more than ten li at most. Although he could not see the movement on the opposite big city, he could still see the alert of Nanyan army. There was no one on the official road between the two cities. It was empty and seemed so lonely.

There is a small river about two miles south of Dingyuan City, which is not wide. Originally, there was a stone bridge on the river, most of which had collapsed, and the remaining bridge bodies on both sides were still there.

"This river is called Jinshui."

Don't point to the river and say, "although this section of the river is only more than ten meters long, the water flow is very fast and deep. It's the best time to enter the army now. You can discharge in the wide downstream, or build a floating bridge. After a while, it's the rainy season. It's common for the rainy season in the southwest to last for two or three months, and it's common to double the width of the river."

"How far is the slowest water?"

Fang Xie asked.

"General Hui..."

Don't point to the southeast and say, "when you go out of the city to the southeast for more than 20 miles, the waterway is the widest and the water flow is the slowest. Another ten miles is where Jinshui flows into Luoshui. Luoshui bypasses Qingyuan City, and the river is only four or five miles from the nearest Qingyuan City."

Fang Xie nodded and couldn't help thinking of the way that Sanjin Hou Wu thought of. Luoshui is actually a tributary of the Yangtze River. Unlike the huangniu River, the huangniu river originates in the mountains west of Huangyang road and finally flows into the Yangtze River. Luoshui is a tributary of the Yangtze River at the intersection with the huangniu river. It goes almost straight south, crosses Qingyuan City, crosses the northeast of Dali city and flows into the South China Sea.

Wu Yidao said a few days ago that no matter how tight the defense of Nanyan Qingyuan City is, as long as the upstream of Luoshui is intercepted and then blasted, the water can directly pour into Qingyuan City. There are many waterways leading out of the big cities in the south. Unlike big cities in the north, big cities in the South will have more water gates. The water gate has only an iron fence. There is no gate, so it can't stop the water.

When the river surges into the city, it can't be stopped.

However, if so, I'm afraid Qingyuan City will become Heze within a few decades. Even if the water retreats, it will take more than a month as soon as possible. At that time, the southern expedition army will march in the mud, not only Qingyuan City, but also Dingyuan city. I'm afraid it will also be affected. There are both advantages and disadvantages.

Besides, it's against Fang Xie's way of leading the army by flooding the city with water. Fang Xie has never been soft on the enemy, but now its main strategy is to pull the people. Once the water attacks the flooded city, I'm afraid the people will not stand on the side of the black flag army.

"General, look!"

Don't interrupt Fang Xie's thoughts. The border army pointed to a small black spot outside the city: "Nanyan army will come out for inspection every two hours. It will return when it comes to the Jinshui River. It has never stopped."

Fang Xie nodded, raised his eyes and looked. He saw a team of cavalry with about 300 or 500 people galloping from the southern official road. After arriving at the Jinshui River, he stopped for a while. The leader also raised his eyes and looked at Dingyuan city. After watching for a while, the cavalry divided into two teams and swept East and west along the river. It seems that such inspection of the river has become the practice of the Nanyan army.

"It's not far from here. Nanyan army still patrols every day."

"As long as the troops leave the city, the Nanyan army in Qingyuan City will immediately find out. Although the Jinshui River is not wide, but the troops rush across. If the Nanyan army takes advantage of the half crossing and attacks, our people will also lose."

Fang Xie looked again and asked, "do you know how many defenders there are in Qingyuan City?"

"General Hui, before the war, his subordinates asked about Nanyan's merchants. It is said that there were at least 20000 elite and many people's bravery in Qingyuan City. However, when Luo Yao was still in Yongzhou, he was afraid that there would be more now. After the war, Nanyan blocked the border, and there had been no definite news about Qingyuan City for a long time. People and businessmen were not allowed to go in and out except for the daily patrol army 。”

Fang Xie said, this is also the reason why the people of Xiaoqi school can't send back the news. When the Nanyan army was defeated, Chen Xiaoru sent people to sneak into the troops and follow them back. But no one has come back since the war. Now the understanding of Qingyuan City is all before the war.

Since Murong shame allied with the eastern Chu, he was ready to fight with all his strength. Qingyuan City and Fengping city are the gateway to the north of Nanyan. These two big cities must have sufficient troops.

"I can't see anything like this. Qilin, Nie Xiaoju..."

Two strong men like iron towers took a step forward: "my subordinates are here!"

"Take a hundred soldiers and follow me out of town."

Fang Xie gave an order, threw the Qianli eye to the soldiers around him, and then quickly stepped down the wall.

……

……

The frontier army did not persuade the general several times in a row, but there was nothing to do. Now Nanyan's patrol cavalry is still outside. Fang Xie is going out of the city to patrol with only 100 soldiers. Although the river cannot pass through now, the narrowest place is only more than ten meters wide, and feather arrows and crossbows can be easily shot.

He was born in the border army. Although he heard that Fang Xie's accomplishments were amazing, he was still worried.

But none of the team brought by Fang Xie's men was surprised. Fang Xie's temperament is more or less understood by his own soldiers. At the beginning, with ten people in the huangniu River, he dared to fight with thousands of rebels. He stabbed nearly a thousand people with a knife. This is the only thing that people can't forget.

At that time, Fang Xie was just a teenager who fought with his body. Now, not only his physique has become stronger, but also his accomplishments have faintly shown signs of breaking the ninth grade. When he was in the ninth grade, he was able to kill the heavy Walker in Tongming territory with all his strength. Once he broke into Tongming territory, there are really few people in the world who can kill him.

With a hundred soldiers and Kirin Nie Xiaoju, Fang Xie rode on the white lion and asked the border army to open the gate. A team of people and horses roared out. Don't stand on the wall and look out nervously, but you find that the cavalry of more than 100 people go out, which is as magnificent and ferocious as thousands of troops.

Darling of

Two or three miles out of the city is the Jinshui River. Fangxie they soon reached the river. At this time, the Nanyan army patrolling opposite had obviously already found it and issued several early warnings one after another. The horn sounded on the South Bank of the river, and the Nanyan cavalry patrolling on both sides came back and joined together.

Fang Xie stopped by the broken bridge of Jinshui River and sat on the back of the white lion with one leg and looked at the river.

The water area of the broken bridge is the narrowest, about 167 meters. But only less than a mile, the wider you swim down, and the widest place should be more than a mile. It is said that the stone bridge was built after the founding of the people's Republic of China. It has been built for hundreds of years. If it was not destroyed by the Nanyan army, it would have no problem standing for hundreds of years. Fang Xie never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. This stone bridge is much stronger than some modern projects in previous generations.

Seeing the Sui army coming out of Dingyuan City, the Nanyan army in Henan is obviously facing a great enemy. Led by a general, they lined up along the river bank and looked nervously at this side of the river. It's only more than ten meters wide. You can even see the expression on the opposite face. The general of Nanyan army saw at a glance that these people were not the border troops in Dingyuan city. The cavalry of more than 100 people looked so fierce and cold one by one. The murderous spirit made people shudder across the river.

The black robed young man sitting cross legged on the huge white lion in front of the team made general Nanyan even more frightened. Almost in an instant, he guessed the identity of the other party.

White lion black robe

Who else can it be if it's not a senior general of the black flag army?

The name Fang Xie is equivalent to the devil in the Nanyan army.

He looked at Fang Xie nervously, fearing that the other party would make any move. The soldiers of Nanyan were the same. The crossbow had been stringed and the hard bow had been opened. It could be seen from the look on their faces that they were afraid. Fang Xie couldn't help laughing. When he was in fangucheng, he was just a small border army. At that time, Fang Xie's name was well known in fangucheng, but who knew him when he came out of Fangu?

Now, just his presence in front of the enemy is enough to frighten the enemy from taking rash action. Even, the name Fang Xie is enough to frighten many people.

"Hey! The one opposite!"

General Nanyan was trembling in his heart. Suddenly he heard a cry from the opposite side, which frightened him subconsciously and nearly fell off his horse. He was already nervous, and the cry of Fang Xie almost scared him out of his courage.

Sitting on the back of the white lion with one leg crossed, Fang Xie smiled and raised his jaw: "I ask you, do you know who I am?"

"Yes... General Fang."

General Nanyan swallowed his saliva and replied tremblingly.

"Ask you again, if I lead the army across the river, will you go out of the city to stop it?"

Fang Xie asked with a smile.

General Nanyan's hand holding the reins was full of sweat. He subconsciously pulled his horse and took a step back: "when... Of course, I have to stop. As a soldier, how can I escape without fighting... Without fighting?"

"Well said"

Fang Xie nodded, walked slowly down from the white lion to the Jinshui River until he reached the broken bridge, looked at the general Nanyan and asked, "what do you Nanyan people say about me?"

Nanyan army pulled back several meters, and the soldiers behind started pulling horses.

General Nanyan opened his mouth and didn't dare to answer.

At this time, Fang Xie suddenly fell in front of general Nanyan's horse on the other side of the river with a bang. The war horse screamed with fear, raised its front hoofs high, and directly lifted the general Nanyan down. Fang Xie brushed it, and the frightened horse was swept aside. The Nanyan soldiers behind didn't react for a moment, but no one dared to draw a knife after they reacted!

"Go back and tell Fu Zhengnan, the general guarding Qingyuan City, to open the city and surrender within five days. Otherwise, all soldiers in Qingyuan City will be killed."

Fang Xie leaned over and looked at general Nanyan, whose face was white with fear, and said slowly, "fight tenaciously, kill. Those who cooperate with the city defenders, kill. Those who wear official clothes, kill. Those who incite the people, kill. Those who carry weapons, kill. Remember?"
