Chapter 201: Wind and Snow End
The total length of the Huai River in later generations is more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is not far from each other in this time and space, but the width is much worse, after the Yellow River has taken the road many times, under the siltation of a large amount of sediment, the river channel is constantly narrowed, and the water flow is turbulent almost every year to form a disaster, this situation has continued to the later generations, and the large-scale Huai control project lasted many years, and it became more stable in the new century.

In the darkness, he couldn't see the edge of the embankment, and he could only judge from the touch that came from the soles of his feet, and he slid down heartily on the snow, and the people on the shore pulled him with ropes, which was ordered by the handsome man himself, and he didn't dare to fake others, but fortunately he reached the bottom after a while, and the soles of his feet stepped on a smooth surface, and if he hadn't been pulled by someone, he would have almost slipped and fallen.
The thick boots stepped on the ice, making a "crunching" sound, he tried to crouch down, touched it with the scimitar at his waist, did not hear the sound of cracking, stood up again and boldly walked a few steps forward, still steadily, the rope was pulled farther and farther away by him, just when the cavalry on the shore were at a loss, only a rush of footsteps was heard, and he actually ran from the darkness.
"Reward the handsome, the ice surface is feasible!" Shifter gasped and roared vigorously at the shore.
Several cavalrymen immediately pulled him up, and at the same time ran out quickly, untied the rope on his body, and was about to lead his horse, when he suddenly felt a flash of light in the distance, and looked back in surprise, the black curtain on the horizon seemed to have been torn open, and a piece of sunset was struggling to come out, and it was dawn?
He raised his head, the snowflakes flying all over the sky did not know when he could not see it, seeing that the situation would not only be a sunny day today, but also the possibility of sunrise, and he took the rest of the cavalry with him, and did not get on his horse, so he took it in his hand and slowly descended to the river, no matter what, this first trip should be his.
"Really?" Hearing the return of the cavalry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, once the river was able to pass people, even if his back road was saved, plus the pontoon bridge, the speed of retreat would be greatly accelerated, and after receiving a positive answer, he immediately made a decision.
"Order all the armies, go up the river, each looking for an opportunity to cross the river, and must not gather together, otherwise the river surface will not be able to withstand the force, and it will collapse, cut it."
Obviously, he also noticed the change in the weather, once the temperature rises, the speed of freezing will slow down, or even regress, the river in this climate is no different from death, and if it is not faster, the Song people will really chase it.
In fact, the Song army's brigade was not far from them, Li Tingzhi watched Liu Yu take a strange cylinder and look there, and his mouth still made sounds from time to time, in front of them, countless figures were still moving forward, seeing that the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the heavy snow had stopped, if you were not in a hurry, it must be fake.
"They are about to cross the river, and the formation has been dispersed, and it seems that they are planning to cross all at once, and their appetite is really big."
"You're going to hit halfway?" For his strange words, Li Tingzhi's choice was to automatically ignore them, and then go straight to the point, otherwise, he didn't know how much nonsense he would have.
"Bandu?" Liu Yu didn't seem to understand for a while, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "We have been planning for so long and paid such a big price, wouldn't it be too cheap to let them run back with all their tails." ”
"Then ......" Li Tingzhi didn't understand, everyone was crossing the river, and you were still here to unfold leisurely, not only from behind, but also towards the front, which was the direction of Chuzhou City.
"They can't run, if they knew the opportunity, our best result would be to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the princess and attack halfway, but now, even God is helping us, if we don't win a victory that shocks the world, how can we be worthy of the people who abandoned their homes, the sergeants who died bravely, and the hard work of the officials."
For his outrageous words, Li Tingzhi's immunity is already quite strong, but the facts are refreshing his cognition again and again, so far he doesn't understand how Liu Yu plans to keep them, it seems that many people have already gone down the river, will this river collapse by itself, as for the question of how many miles from Guangxi Road to Huaidong, there is no interest in ridicule.
Li Tingzhi's doubts were written on his face, with his decades of experience in treating Huai, such a heavy snow these days, and the temperature was so low last night, it is inevitable that Huaishui will freeze, and this thickness, as long as it is not crowded and trampled on each other in panic, there will never be a collapse of the ice surface, so the question is, what is he waiting for?
The answer came quickly, the day was about to break, most places were still very dark, although the snow had stopped, the wind was still blowing, when the instigator ordered the whole army to disperse, and he also put away the banner, ready to cross the river together, the first infantry team, had already walked along the first discovered pontoon bridge to the center of the Huaishui River.
The water surface of this section of Huaishui is about four or five miles wide, and when the vision is good during the day, you can vaguely see the scene on the other side of the river, and in the night, there is only a vague shadow, and the one who walks in the front is a hundred households, and he suddenly heard an extremely strange sound, like a large piece of ice being squeezed hard, and the "scum" sound that comes out after it is broken.
He looked ahead with some confusion, and several huge black shadows seemed to be moving slowly! If it weren't for the fact that there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, they might not have been able to see at all, these black shadows were shaped like mountains, and that strange sound came from under their feet.
The closer you go, the more pronounced that sound becomes, the ice in front of you breaking? He and the footmen behind him were not very worried, after all, they were walking on a pontoon bridge, and after a night of freezing, they had become one with the river, and they walked very steadily on it, without the slightest sway.
But the moving black shadow made people look frightened, and the foot soldiers couldn't help but speed up their pace, as long as they could rush over as soon as possible and set foot on their own land, no matter how big things were, they couldn't compete with their own lives.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the air, the kind of whistling sound that all foot soldiers were extremely familiar with, and it was with this sound that they had fought hard and desperately against life and death in countless siege battles, so that they could pick up a life in the midst of great luck.
That's right, that's the sound of a huge stone being sent into the air by a trebuchet!
