Dawei Fanghua

Wang Ling, the general who conquered the east, was right. It was difficult to see the flag clearly at night and it was difficult to grasp the situation in various parts of the army.And Qin Liang was right, the moonlight was very bright in the second half of the night.

There are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is very clean. The waning gibbous moon hangs on the sky, and the spots on it can be seen with the naked eye, which are mountains and craters on the moon.The moonlight shines on the ground, and even without lighting a torch, you can actually see the road clearly, the gently curved white road.

On the still damp ground, there was a light layer of mist in the second half of the night. The sparse and fine water vapor reflected the moonlight, making the ground seem to be enveloped in a faint white light, giving the illusion of a brighter light.Qin Liang even felt that it had a bluish color.

The location of the military camp was not far from Shaopi. Not long after the troops walked southeast, they arrived at the shore of Shaopi.Then turn left and continue along the road along the Shaopi coast.

The rippling water waves on the lake, when the angle is right, will shine with sparkling moonlight, and the water waves will rush to the shore. The slight sound of "swishing" and the sound of water will accompany everyone all the way.

It wasn't quiet on the shore either. There were more people and horses, and besides the sound of footsteps, there were also the braying of horses and all kinds of noise.

The place where the flag was displayed was lit by torches all around.But the firelight is no better than the sunlight during the day, and it is still difficult to see the logo decoration and text clearly from a slightly farther distance.There are also some ways for soldiers to walk at night. From time to time, someone in front will shout, "General Zhang of a certain team in a certain song, a certain village, it's bright in front of you!"People in the back team will respond: "Beware of the water!" It also rhymes a bit.

I don’t know how long it took, it was probably early in the morning, but it was still dark.The troops have been walking along the north bank of Shaopi, and they have probably arrived near the well gate of Shaopidu.Qin Liang had already seen a string of torches on the Shaobidu River in the distance. That was the enemy!

Looking at the night sky in the moonlight, there is a large fire on the other side of the water.Many Wu troops had already crossed the river on the pontoon bridge near the well gate and reached the east bank of Shaopidu.

After a while, shouts of killing came from the front.All kinds of noises suddenly increased, and the firelight was seen surging and flickering, but it was not clear what was going on. It was estimated that some people had already started to do it!
It is difficult to carry out a sneak attack at night. When there are more people and horses, there will always be a noise, unless the other party has no manpower to guard at all and everyone is asleep.Moreover, marching at night is already difficult, and it is even more difficult without torches.

However, the difficulties are mutual. It is not easy for the Wu army to temporarily organize a blockade. They will also face the dilemma of not being able to see the flag clearly and the generals not being able to control their subordinates.Both sides are more prone to confusion.

What you are fighting at this time is your mentality and your will to fight.Most of the Wu army has crossed the bridge, and the soldiers are looking forward to going home for reunion. The rear troops responsible for the blocking mission may not want to continue fighting.

Qin Liang observed with his own eyes that the Wu army was indeed withdrawing tonight, and now he had some idea.

However, as more and more people rushed to the battlefield and joined the battle group, the situation became really dark and unclear.Looking from a distance, he could only see figures shaking in the moonlight. Qin Liang stood behind and couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe.The light of the torches was quite clear at night, but there was no writing on the flames. All that could be seen were patches of fire flickering, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more intense.

"Kill! Kill..." The roars, cries, horses neighing, the clash of weapons, the sound of strings, and the huge "buzzing" noise were like background sounds, shrouded in the night.

Qin Liang didn't plan to go directly to the battle tonight. He didn't carry a long weapon. He just took a wooden shield in his hand and the sword was still in the scabbard at his waist.But it was him who came up with the idea. Under the hazy moonlight and the situation couldn't be clearly seen, he was still anxious.

Qin Liang followed the direction of the loudest noise and kept approaching on horseback, stretching his neck to look there.

Wang Kang's voice said: "Please Qin Jun, please don't go any further. It's very dangerous."

Qin Liang didn't hear anything and continued to look forward, especially at the waving flags, just to distinguish the situation between ourselves and the enemy.

"Pa!" Qin Liang suddenly heard a sound, and then felt his left hand being hit hard by something.After a while, he picked up the wooden shield and looked at it. He saw an arrow stuck on the wooden shield, and the feathers on the tail were still trembling because of the sudden stop in speed.

"Qin Jun!" Wang Kang's voice called out with concern.

Only then did Qin Liang realize that the tip of the arrow had penetrated the thin wooden shield and was less than one finger away from his left hand holding the shield.

Before those who are not in the front row are injured or suffer a fatal blow, they are actually only inexplicably on tenterhooks, and the fear is not very intuitive.When the swords, guns and arrows actually fell on me, I started to be afraid, but it was useless at that time.

Qin Liang didn't say a word, but he finally listened to Wang Kang's advice and stopped stepping forward.

Although he wears two armors, his face, neck, elbows and other parts are not protected.No wonder the generals were better equipped with armor than Qin Liang, but from time to time we would still hear that someone died from a stray arrow and went into battle. Sometimes it was just luck.Although it was early in the morning, the eastern sky began to turn pale, but Qin Liang didn't feel sleepy at all after staying up all night.He did not go into battle to fight, but his spirit was still in a state of excitement, and he was always paying attention to the development of the battle situation.

Observing carefully and feeling carefully, Qin Liang could find that the fighting position was constantly moving eastward, and the situation seemed quite favorable.

The marching torches and heads and helmets are different from the fighting crowds.Where the enemy was already in contact, the torches swung faster and moved slower, and the figures in the moonlight moved differently.The battle line should be moving towards the floating bridge!

In addition to the light and the crowd, various sounds can be heard amid the loud noise.The accents of Wei soldiers and Wu soldiers were different, and many people yelled angrily in panic. Although the words "cao you | mother" have similar meanings, the expressions are different.The generals and soldiers of the Wu State, many of whom were originally fleeing nobles and common people from the north bank of the Yangtze River, all liked to insult the enemy's mother and had very similar ideas.

After a long time, suddenly a raging fire broke out on the water, and the pontoon was set alight by someone from somewhere!

On the section of Shao Pi Du connecting Shao Pi and Feishui, fires shot up into the sky, illuminating the water and nearby shores as brightly as day.In the firelight, many people's faces were staring at the flames, each with different expressions.

Thick smoke filled the air around and above the fire, and the crackling sound of burning wood could be heard clearly.

Some of the Wu soldiers who were responsible for blocking the rear did not have time to cross the bridge and were eventually abandoned by their own people.Therefore, even if the retreating army can organize a blocking resistance, its fighting will is not as good as that of the attacking side. This is clear proof.

When the sky gradually became brighter, the sun had not yet risen, but the early morning light had become clear, and the battle was long over.Before the morning sun appears, the color of everything is still gray, and the sky among the smoke and mist looks like a cloudy sky...

Qin Liang rode his horse around the shore of Shaopi, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.The scene on the battlefield was miserable, but he couldn't lie to himself. At this moment, he really felt excited that his treacherous plot had succeeded. He even wanted to recite a poem: It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use the name of the overlord.

However, the atmosphere on the battlefield was not right. He did not show the happy part of his heart, but remained silent.

The boats and pontoons made of wooden planks in the middle of the river have been scattered on the water. The fire has been extinguished, and only the broken wooden planks that have been burnt to charcoal can be seen floating in the water.The wood near the shore has not yet been burned out, and smoke is lingering among the red embers.

The fields and slopes were littered with corpses. Many Wei soldiers were still looking for things to tidy up the battlefield. The most valuable seizure was probably armor.The swords, spears, and arrows stuck in the soil were messy, like barren grass.The wilderness was filled with ghostly groans and cries of pain.

As long as there is a war, people will die.Although they are all full of blood and tragedy, winning is at least better than losing, because the most casualties are from other people's side.

Many surrendered Wu soldiers were kneeling on the ground, surrounded by Wei soldiers holding weapons and threats, and the prisoners were then taken away in groups under the command of the Wei army.Now that the world is fighting, people have gradually realized the importance of population. Killing prisoners does not happen after every battle. These young and strong prisoners will probably be escorted to the fields in the hinterland of the Wei Dynasty to be serfs.Just like the people of Ancheng who were burned down, they were captured by the Wu army and most of them entered the gentry manors to farm.

"Wow, wow..." Slow waves surged toward the shore. From time to time, corpses lying on the water in Shaopi could be seen, being pushed to the shore by the waves.

As the saying goes, once a general succeeds, ten thousand bones will wither, and this is probably what it looks like.Qin Liang's feelings at this moment were very complicated, and he felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.

Under such complicated feelings, Qin Liang still took a long breath, at least the tension gradually began to completely relax.

The Wu army in Shaopi retreated overnight and burned the pontoon bridge. Moreover, their retreat route must have been along the waterway, and they could board boats and escape along the way.If the Wei army wanted to reorganize its forces and continue the pursuit, it would be difficult.

Zhuge Ke, who attacked Lu'an, will definitely withdraw. Once the pressure on the Wei army in Shouchun is reduced, he can easily reinforce Lu'an city south of Shaipi.Zhuge Ke's offensive against Lu'an has lost its value. If he doesn't run away quickly, he will be attacked from both inside and outside and will have to throw away a body to escape.

The battle in Huainan is basically coming to an end.

Qin Liang, who had been in high spirits before, felt a wave of fatigue coming over him at this moment.Fatigue surged, and suddenly my eyelids became twitchy and achy. I almost felt like I couldn't open my eyes. I just wanted to sleep.

Qin Liang looked back to the northwest. Sun Lijun's camp should still be there, and the baggage team should also be there.He then called to Wang Kangrao Dashan and others and said, "Let's go."
