Chapter 137: Waiting for the night to be dark and windy
The cold wind raged like a mad horse, blowing on the face as if it had been whipped hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he brought cotton clothes, he still couldn't withstand the biting cold, and the straw sandals were worn out badly, seeing that the speed of crossing the river was getting slower and slower, Zhao Guang jumped his feet in a hurry, but he was helpless, even he was exhausted and faltering, and how could he ask others to speed up the pace.
"Adjutant General, we've been walking on the ice for five days, even if our feet are slow, but we are almost sleepless, we should be almost there, and if we don't do it again, everyone can't hold on. ”
"It's almost here, give the order, everyone will go forward in a group, even if it's climbing, you have to climb to the opposite side for me. Zhao Guang is also a bloody man, even if his frozen lips are purple and his teeth are fighting, he still has no intention of backing down.
"Adjutant General---- what's shaking in front of you, look. The spy who was walking in front suddenly turned around and said alertly.
Zhao Guang's heart tightened, and immediately gestured to the people behind him to stop silencing, and then squatted down and walked forward cautiously, and sure enough, after walking a short distance, he saw a figure dangling in front of him.
"Adjutant General, it seems that we are about to reach the river. The person who spoke seemed very excited, and the five-day frozen trip was finally coming to an end, and the news came one after another, and everyone relaxed as if they had finally made it to the end.
Zhao Guang frowned, pondered for a moment, picked four spies to work in twos and twos, and ordered them to explore left and right, wanting to see how many of those figures there were.
It took more than half an hour to wait for the four spies to come back, but the news brought back made Zhao Guang even more shocked, at this time, the river bank was almost full of people, once they approached the shore, there must be a rocket attack. Looking back at the situation of everyone, their hands were so cold that they could barely hold their weapons, and they were even more afraid to fight back.
Zhao Guang clenched his fists in annoyance and wanted to smash them on the ice, but he was afraid that breaking the ice would hurt a lot of people, so he could only endure the fire in his heart and take a few deep breaths before gradually calming down.
The people around him could probably guess that the river could not be crossed, obviously their plan to cross the river had been discovered by the enemy, and at this time there must have been archers and trebuchets prepared on the riverbank, as long as there were these two things, those enemies could wipe them out without even a drop of blood.
Everyone is waiting for Zhao Guang to make a decision, whether to go back, or to move forward regardless of life or death? But no matter which choice is made, people want to hit the wall with embarrassment, go back, go forward, and die again
They only set their eyes on Zhao Guang, but their hearts became more and more desperate, this crusade should not be there at all, let alone divide the army into two ways, or the chance of winning by land is better, which is like now, it is like a turtle in an urn in a dilemma.
Zhao Guang stared at it with a calm face for a long time, but suddenly chuckled, as if he was convinced, and a little helpless, "It seems that the hero can't succeed, I still obediently obey the order---- pass the order, and everyone will rest in place." ”
When the Jingwei heard the news, they all looked at each other, they thought that they would either go back or go forward to die, but they didn't expect to ask them to rest in place?
Everyone was confused, but they still spread two layers of quilts next to each other on the ice, and then squeezed together with the quilts, which was much warmer for a while.
I didn't know what I was waiting for when I sat like this, until the fog on the river became thicker and darker, and even the figures by the river became more and more unreal, but Zhao Guang didn't have the slightest intention of moving, and he covered the quilt and snorted while telling jokes to the people next to him.
With him taking the lead, although the Jingwei behind them didn't know why, they didn't want to tense their nerves, so they simply chatted with the people next to them, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed for a while, except for the occasional cough and sneeze to remind everyone that they were sitting on the ice at this time.
Guan Hai looked at the white river, and once again gave the order to go down, ordering the archers and slingers to be ready at all times, as long as they saw any movement on the river, they would immediately release rockets and throw stones.
"Three masters, will they be so frightened that they retreat, we have been waiting for a long time, why haven't we seen them come ashore yet?" someone asked impatiently.
Guan Hai sneered, "These lackeys of the imperial court are pretentious, especially Zhao Guang, and they can't do that kind of thing, they are waiting for the opportunity, waiting for us to lose patience, waiting for the night to get dark, thinking that in this way we can go ashore without knowing it." ”
"The three masters are wise, but what if they don't go ashore all the time? We can't spend it here all the time, in other words, it's better to rush over, anyway, there are many of us, they must be cold and hungry now, where do they have the strength to resist. ”
Guan Hai snorted, "Why bother with us, wouldn't it be faster to wait for them to be delivered to the door, and even effortless." Go, let everyone stand back. ”
Originally, the fog on the river surface was big, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a little waning moon hanging on the top, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see clearly at a distance of three zhang.
Guan Hai waited more and more patiently, and sure enough, half an hour later, some shaking figures finally appeared in the distance, a little closer, as long as he got a little closer, the rockets and trebuchets would definitely be able to annihilate the lackeys of the court in one fell swoop.
But the images of those men, who knew what he was thinking, deliberately tried to play tricks on him, and did not appear much at once, swaying but not moving forward, and even came every half an hour, which made the people on the shore anxious.
You can see it but you can't hit it, it's so difficult to get rid of the ghost, it's really annoying, and some people propose to attack directly on the river, and you will be able to kill those who play tricks.
Although Guan Hai was angry and wanted to kill people all the time, he tried his best to endure it, thinking as calmly as possible, and reassuring his subordinates: "This is their purpose, they want to provoke us and trick us to the ice.
But you must know that as soon as we go ashore and are in the middle of it, the attack on the shore will hurt our own people, and they are playing tricks in a desperate situation, and as long as we do nothing, they will definitely mess with themselves.
More patient than anyone----- haha----- I Guan Hai is more patient, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the food they bring will eventually run out one day, I want to see how long they can last. ”
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but even if the winter sun is overhead, it does not bring a little temperature, but the night is terrible, Zhao Guang shivered and gnawed on the dry cakes like stones, silently counting how many days he stayed on the ice.
But it was said that in the east of Mu'anshan, Guan Shan was guarding the halfway up the mountain every day, waiting for Qiu Ji to bring people to appear, and finally three days later, the spies at the foot of the mountain came to report to him, saying that the enemy army still had one kilometer.
"Ha---- didn't you say that there are still six or seven days, there are those who are in a hurry to be reincarnated, I haven't seen those who are in a hurry to die, it just so happens that grandpa is impatient to wait, see that I don't kill them in Guanshan and don't leave a piece of armor.
You go ---- and give me fifty soldiers, and tonight I will attack his main camp, so that they will not even be able to reach the foot of Mu'anshan." Guan Shan casually pointed to a person, that person should be, and went to choose fifty strong people behind him.
That night, Guan Shan quietly descended the mountain with the fifty people with the strongest combat effectiveness, and if the timing was right, he would probably be able to annihilate those wastes with only these fifty people.
The reason why Qiu Ji chose a position one kilometer away from Mu'anshan was not only because it was not close or far away, but also because there was a small hill here, and he set up camp on the hillside, which was not only easy to defend against surprise attacks, but also easier to observe the situation ahead.
In the middle of the moon, the elite guards had already rested, and only a few patrol guards lingered on the camp.
Guan Shan jumped down from the small hill, waved his hand, and a dense group of people poured out behind him, all dressed in black, perfectly blending with the night, quietly following him in the night, and soon less than a hundred meters away from the small hillside.
"Don't blame Grandpa Guan for disturbing your good dreams. Guan Shan bared his teeth and sneered, and led the people up the hill gradually.
