0908 All or Nothing

The two thousand men soon came to the river. By the faint moonlight, Niu Mantun could see a large group of people busy by the river. This made Niu Mantun feel an ominous premonition in his heart. Because I didn't even see the ship!

Niu Mantun's eyes widened and he looked carefully, only to vaguely see a small number of trough boats on the shore. The rest of the river was filled with rafts one foot long and a few feet wide!

Niu Mantun's heart was beating wildly! Although Niu Mantun is not a fisherman or a sailor, he also knows the difference between a boat and a raft!

The trough boat is barely reasonable, although it is a little smaller, but it is a boat! As for the raft, it is just a tool that barely copes with the crossing of the river temporarily!

Think about it, dozens of heavily armed people standing on a raft, what would a raft look like? Maybe the raft will be submerged in water! The slightest movement of the person above will overturn!

Although Niu Mantun had never been on a raft, he knew that the more people stood on the edge, the more unlucky they were. He immediately pulled Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian, and said in a low voice: "Hurry to get on the boat as much as possible, and if you can't get up, try to occupy the middle of the raft." ”

The two of them secretly nodded slightly in understanding. After a while, everyone stood up straight and waited for the order from the solid mountain Ejin. Niu Mantun's plan is quite good, but the Jurchens are not stupid. The solid mountain Ezhen shouted an order, and a pair of Jurchen soldiers with red flags took the lead in walking towards the various tankers and seized the best means of transport.

Seeing that they got on the boat first, the green tendons on Niu Mantun's face jumped up! When all the soldiers who were in charge of the red flag had boarded the tank, the Gushan Zhencai said, "Everyone else should get on the raft!" Be careful, don't knock it over! ”

There were also many smart people in the Han army banner, and at that moment a horse poured out to compete for the position of the raft near the center. As a result, the Jurchen soldiers in charge of order were whipped with leather whips, which stopped everyone's looting. Even Niu Mantun was whipped twice.

Everyone groped their way into the raft in the moonlight, huddled tightly together and barely stood firm. It was like a flock of sheep in the snow and ice, and no one dared to move! And what scared Niu Mantun the most was that because there were too many people standing on the raft, the raft could not bear it and had been submerged in water! The foot surface of Niu Mantun has been

Who drowned!

This makes Niu Mantun, who doesn't know water, even more frightened! In his heart, he prayed to all the gods, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas that he could remember! He would rather die on the battlefield than drown in water!

Niu Mantun, who was thinking wildly, suddenly remembered a question, that is, in this dark night, the torch could not be lit, so how could the fleet identify the direction? Don't you can't see where you can't see at all, right?

Niu Mantun really guessed this right! Although the Houjin Army invited a veteran with a lot of money, he could only guess when there was no light!

The Houjin army is helpless to use such desperate tricks! It was actually very difficult for the Houjin army to conquer Lushun. Because the guard general Huang Long gradually climbed up from among the soldiers. So the needs of the soldiers are well understood. Moreover, all this kind of generals who have risen through the ranks by virtue of their military exploits have real kung fu under their hands. Therefore, I dare not say that Lushun is easy to defend Lushun, but it can definitely be on par with the Houjin army. If Huanglong had enough soldiers, the Houjin army might not be able to take Lushun!

Not to mention anything else, after two consecutive days and two nights of bloody battles, the Houjin army climbed to the top of the city several times, but was driven back by Huanglong. Not only did the Han Army Banner suffer heavy casualties, but even the genuine Eight Banners Army suffered a lot of casualties! Although it can capture Lushun if it continues like this, the casualties of the Houjin army are definitely a huge number! It's the kind that will definitely make Huang Taiji feel distressed! That's why Yue Tuo, who led the army, came up with this desperate solution.

The raft floated in the water, and the people on it moved with the pace to raise their hearts to the top and fall to the bottom, and there was no time to stop thinking. And everyone doesn't dare to move, the body stiffens, and the tired will be faster!

The flotilla did not know how far it had walked in the dark, about two quarters of an hour. Sure enough, there was an accident! At the turn, the raft in front was a little slower, and it was hit by the wooden law behind! Although it was only a slight collision, seven or eight people still fell close to the water! The rest of the people on the raft hugged each other tightly so that the raft did not capsize! As for the seven or eight people who shouted in the water, they were carried to the bottom of the river by their heavy armor!

Niu Mantun stood on another raft and watched the death of the rabbit and the fox, and he was sad, and he felt related! But he didn't

There is a way, this is on the battlefield, he can only follow military orders. Moreover, the flotilla did not even have the intention of stopping to save people, and continued to move directly under the officer's order.

The fleet stumbled forward. Something similar happened many times on the road, with the most falling eighteen or nine people, and the least falling five or six. However, compared to the danger of sailing at night, only a few people died was lucky!

I don't know how long it has been drifting, and I don't know where it has been. I only know that I have gone to sea along the river! Along the way, the group lost almost two hundred men. Just as Niu Mantun turned around, Niu Mantun, who was stiff, heard the order from the raft in front of him and said, "I'll be there soon!" Don't make a sound! ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the fleet to begin to move closer to the shore. Niu Mantun looked into the distance with all his eyes, but could see nothing but the dark night. Niu Mantun even maliciously speculated that maybe the person holding the boat was in the wrong place at all. None of them knew where they had sent their ship?

But Niu Mantun guessed wrong. The head of the boat that led the team really found a place with feelings and memories. After he went ashore, he found the marker in his memory and breathed a sigh of relief from his heart, this fate was saved, and the silver was also saved!

As the rafts docked in rows, a large number of soldiers stumbled down from the rafts. After Niu Mantun got off the raft and stepped on the ground, he felt that his knees were weak and he almost knelt there! He was so nervous on the way that he felt a little dizzy when he was tired.

Gushan Ejin, who led the team, probably had this idea too, so he quickly gave the order for everyone to rest on the beach for a while.

The order was transmitted to Niu Mantun, and Niu Mantun immediately felt that he had no strength in his body, and sat on the beach and gasped! After Niu Mantun took a few breaths, he slowly took off the gourd on his waist and poured two mouthfuls of water to soothe his thirsty throat. That's how to ease the tension.

At this time, everyone was about the same as Niu Mantun, sitting silently on the beach one by one, drinking two sips of water and chewing two mouthfuls of dry food. are all accumulating their physical strength. Because there's going to be a fight right away! If you can't win, these people will all die here!
