Playing cautiously, Zhang Fei immediately saw that Guan Gong seemed to be scared, so he was also scared - the high imitation Guan Gong was scared, how could the fake Zhang Fei be scared?
Although he looks like a fierce Zhang Fei, in fact, he is not very courageous, and is even a little timid... To be the number one scholar in the martial arts test does not require courage, just good martial arts, strong strength, and proficiency in bow and horse. .
This high level of art doesn’t necessarily mean you are brave!
Therefore, Sai Zhangfei did not dare to go there. Instead, he returned to the brigade and went to Shang Zhixiao to ask for reinforcements.
"Reinforcements?" Shang Zhixiao was a little dumbfounded after hearing Zhang Fei's request. "Prince Zhu is just one person. You have twenty or thirty people and twenty or thirty shotguns. How come you can't beat him? You still have Where is Wu Zhuangyuan! How did you pass the exam?"
Wu Zhuangyuan's martial arts should be the best in the world!
And you are also known as Zhang Fei. You can kill the prince who looks like Guan Gong Zhu San on the Xiushui Bridge with a spear of Zhangba, and it will be over soon?
Sai Zhangfei blushed a little when Shang Zhixiao said this, and was speechless... He was not only timid, but also a bit thin-skinned. This Wu champion doesn’t even try to be shameless!
When Shang Zhixiao saw Zhang Fei's cowardice, he became very angry. Just as he was about to scold Zhang Fei for being such a coward, the military advisor beside him, Jin Guang, started to cough.
Hearing that Mr. Jin coughed, Shang Zhixiao knew that he had gone too far... It depends on the owner to beat a dog, let alone the number one scholar?
No matter how bad things were, it was Emperor Kangxi who sent him to Guangdong for the Imperial Envoy Mi Sihan. Although Mi Sihan didn't think highly of him, it didn't mean that Shang Zhixiao could bully him.
If Mi Sihan gave the emperor a secret message because of this, Shang Zhixiao's dream of being a prince would be shattered into pieces.
So Shang Zhixiao stopped scolding Zhang Fei and turned to Jin Guang for advice, "Mr. Jin, what do you think?"
Just now when Sai Zhang Fei was leading his men to seize the bridge, Jin Guang had been observing with a telescope, and he also saw some tricks.
"Second Prince, what this Third Prince Zhu is using now is probably Zhang Fei's plan to break Dangyang Bridge...Look at the terrain, the Xiushui River is quite wide and deep, and there don't seem to be many boats on the river, just one The big wooden bridge can be crossed, and there is a forest on the other side of the river where troops can ambush. This terrain is very similar to Changbanpo and Dangyang Bridge.
Also, pay attention, is there smoke and dust rising behind the forest? Someone must be running back and forth dragging branches, pretending to be in an ambush. "
"Pretend to ambush?" Shang Zhixiao asked, "That means there is no ambush? Are you playing an empty city tactic again? No...this empty city tactic now also includes an ambush."
"Mr. Jin," Sai Zhangfei interjected at this time, "When Zhang Fei was at Dangyang Bridge, he really had no troops at hand to defeat him!"
He has also read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He is a well-educated martial arts champion!
But Shang Zhixiao and Jin Guang frowned after hearing this - your surname is Wu rather than Zhang, Zhang Fei is not a descendant of Zhang Fei, and it is impossible for your family to have the ancestral "Zhang Yide Art of War". How did you know? Zhang Fei had no soldiers when he resisted Cao Cao at Dangyang Bridge in Changbanpo?
Thinking of this, Jin Guang smiled and nodded, "Wu Zhuangyuan is indeed familiar with the art of war. Prince Zhu's trivial skills can't fool you. Let's do this... you take a thousand elite soldiers with you and form an array across the bridge. .
If the Third Prince Zhu retreats into the woods, you must not chase him. As long as we hold firmly on Xiushui Bridge and ensure that the prince's army safely reaches the west of Jieyang County, it will be considered a great achievement. "
After saying this, Jin Guang looked back at Shang Zhixiao. Shang Zhixiao smiled and said to Wu Sanwei: "Wu Xietai, just follow what the military advisor said... But you still have to be careful and don't underestimate the enemy and rush in. Just set up the formation on the wooden bridge, no matter what No matter how Zhu San lures the enemy, don't be fooled."
Wu Zhuangyuan had nothing to say at this time, so he had to say "嗻" loudly, and then went to mobilize his troops.
...
When Wu Sanwei finally mobilized a thousand of his elite troops and began to cross the wooden bridge cautiously, King Zhu Tian, who pretended to be Guan Gong, had already drank all the Daming Spring wine mixed with water that he carried, leaving only a dry mouth and I was sweating profusely.
It's going to be hot in the third month of the Guangdong lunar calendar, and it's going to be really hot!
Just when Zhu Tianwang was about to die from the heat, he was about to go to the woods to find Zhao Zhongyi for a cold drink to quench his thirst. A group of Qing troops on the other side of the wooden bridge finally lined up neatly under the bright sun, amidst the sound of drums and horns, and walked onto the wooden bridge under the leadership of the black-faced Qing demon.
The twenty or thirty shotgun soldiers who had been lined up on the wooden bridge began to walk under the bridge with their shotguns in hand after the black-faced Qingyao got on the bridge.
King Zhu Tian saw the shotgun soldiers coming off the bridge from a distance, so he quickly turned his horse around and stepped back ten or twenty steps - but he couldn't get too close to them, otherwise he would be killed with a shotgun attack. Although the green Confucius suit on Tianwang Zhu is also covered with a chainmail that has been heated by the sun, this chainmail cannot withstand your shotgun, and Tianwangzhu's head and face are still exposed!
After retreating to an absolutely safe distance, Tianwang Zhu took out a trumpet made of rolled cowhide and held it in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and watched the Qing soldiers of the brigade going up and down the bridge. When he found that the black-faced Qing demon was about to get off, While walking on the bridge, his eyes suddenly widened, his face turned a little red, and he looked murderous. He raised the cowhide trumpet to his mouth, then took a sharp breath and shouted: "The bridge is broken! The bridge is broken... Wow, the bridge is going to be broken!"
What does it mean?
Wu Sanwei was confused. Is this a curse? This Xiushui Bridge is so strong that it breaks with just a curse?
no! I have to get there quickly... It's not good for a gentleman to be on a dangerous bridge!
Thinking of this, Wu Sanwei immediately accelerated his horse, drove the horse, and trotted all the way down to Xiushui Bridge.
The green battalion soldiers following him saw the boss flying off the bridge and wondered what happened? They all trotted to follow, and in a blink of an eye there were two to three hundred people following Wu Sanwei down the Xiushui Bridge.
And just as they were getting off the bridge, under the bridge deck of Xiushui Bridge, four people were lighting matchsticks for bombs!
One of the leaders is Cui Liu, the ancestral artilleryman who cut off his braid during the last battle of Jieyang and then adjusted the cannon to hit the city tower... He is now a former Confucian warrior who has received the education of "The World is Public", although he is still He has not grown a beard, but he has put on the "Confucius suit" and is ready to "Confucius said Chengren and Mencius said righteousness".
But the bomb he wanted was not tied to him, but to a load-bearing wooden pillar of the Xiushui Bridge... The bridge arch of the Xiushui Bridge is supported by four pillars. Now there are four pillars. A copper-shell bomb with a hollow charge made by Zhu Heji himself was strapped to the top. After lighting the medicine thread, Cui Liu can escape by diving into the water.
Seeing the medicine thread sparkling and burning, Cui Liu took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Confucius bless you!" He pinched his nose with one hand, protected his head and face with the other, and plunged into the beautiful water below. creek.
Almost at the same time, the other three Jinyiwei artillerymen who lit the fire also lit their match ropes and jumped into the water to escape.
The weather is very hot now, but the water of Xiushui Creek flowing from Guiren Mountain is a bit cool. Cui Liu, who plunged into the water, was shaken by the cold water and shivered for a while. However, he didn't care that the water was too cold. He just gritted his teeth and kicked his legs as hard as he could, and swam along the current towards the North Stream of the Rongjiang River downstream of the Xiushui River. Before he could swim far, or even put his head out of the water to breathe, there were three muffled sounds in his ears!
He knew that at least three copper shell thunders had exploded... If the thunders were as powerful as Zhu San Taisun said, the Xiushui Bridge would be broken.
"The bridge collapsed..."
"The bridge is collapsing!"
Wu Sanwei, who had just rode off the bridge, heard a loud noise behind his ears before he could steady his horse.
Although I don’t know what happened, I also know that something is wrong. Just when he looked back, someone shouted "Bridge collapse" again... This time it was not Prince Zhu who was shouting, but the Qing soldiers on the bridge, and they were not blind. Shouting, but the Xiushui Bridge is really going to collapse.
If three of the four pillars are broken, how can this be any better? Wu Sanwei saw that the originally arched bridge deck suddenly collapsed. At this time, there were still three to four hundred people crowded on the bridge, and at least more than half of them fell down together with the collapsed bridge deck!
I wonder if these people can swim? Even if they can swim, they are still wearing cloth-covered iron armor! Can you swim?
Just when Wu Sanwei was worried about the Qing soldiers who fell into the water, the sound of "bang bang bang" shotguns sounded in his ears again. At the same time, someone shouted: "Ambush, there are people in the grass." ambush......"
