Chapter Eighty-Nine: Exploring the Enemy Camp at Night

Under the cover of night, the two rode to the Yellow River.

At this time, it has entered the early summer, the water potential of the Yellow River is rapid, the turbidity waves on the river surface are surging, and the water potential is turbulent.

"Guo Song, how are you watery?" Li Ji suddenly asked.

"I'm pretty good in the water, I can swim over, but how can our horses get there?"

Li Ji shook his head, "Horses can't cross the Yellow River, they can only stay here, or go more than 100 miles to the east, there is a section of the Yellow River called Shallow Beach, the riverbed is very wide, but the water is very shallow, war horses can swim over, we used to cross the Yellow River from there." ”

Guo Song patted the horse bag and smiled: "I carry all my belongings with me, is it safe to put the horse here?" ”

"It can be put in the woods, it's inaccessible here, and there are no wolves, as long as it's not more than two days, it's basically fine, that's my experience."

The two hid their war horses in a hidden place, Li Ji took out a folded raft, and the two blew together, and after a while, a kayak boat with a length of one zhang and a width of six feet appeared.

The water in the Yellow River is turbulent, the wind and waves are extremely strong, and the small raft is like a leaf in a storm, and it is overturned by the waves if you are not careful.

The two people in the raft, one with rich experience, the other with superb martial arts and strong balance, although they were navigating through the rapids and rapids, they still rowed the raft steadily, and after more than half an hour, they arrived on the other side of the Yellow River.

Li Ji, who has always been unsmiling, rarely smiled at Guo Song and gave him a thumbs up, he saw that Guo Song was rowing for the first time, and he was able to row across the turbulent Yellow River, it was not simple, I really don't know how his balance was trained.

Guo Song smiled, the two hid the raft in the pile of rocks, accelerated their speed to the west, and through a forest, a large river appeared in front of them, this big river called Weishui, originated in the north three hundred miles away from the Wolf Mountain, meandered south, and flowed into the Yellow River in the loop.

This big river is slightly narrower than the Yellow River, but the same turbulent current, turbid waves rolling, Li Ji pointed to a abrupt rock on the high place next to it, let's go up and take a look.

The two climbed on the rock, and suddenly their vision was broad, and they saw the fire on the south bank of Weishui more than ten miles away, and the vast Xue Yantuo logistics camp appeared in front of them, and they could see it very clearly under the starlight.

At this time, Guo Song suddenly thought of a big question and asked: "The logistics battalion is actually on the other side of the Yellow River, how can they transport it across the Yellow River?" ”

"On a raft!"

Li Ji pointed ahead, "A few black behemoths by the river, what do you think?" ”

Guo Song also saw that there were more than a dozen black giants moored beside the big river, their bodies were like big ships, but they were not big boats, they were actually rafts.

"With such a big raft?" Guo Song was really a little surprised, it was the first time he saw it.

Li Ji nodded, "It was originally invented by the Han people, crossing the Yellow River in the Grand Canyon of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and introduced into the grassland during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was made up of thousands of rafts, and the grassland people called it a mountain raft, and used it to transport large quantities of materials, just like the three-thousand-stone ships in the Central Plains." ”

"Can this kind of raft be handled?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "Of course you can't control it, you can only pull the fiber, and you don't need manpower, hundreds of horses can pull a raft, and ten rafts can send half a month's supplies to Lingzhou." ”

"How many troops are there in Xue Yantuo's south?" Guo Song asked casually again.

Li Ji glanced at him, and he was really a little crying and laughing in his heart, such a major question was actually asked until now, and he thought he had known it a long time ago.

"It should be 30,000 people, and every time I go south, it's 30,000 people, and I estimate that it's about the same this time."

"What is General Li's estimate?" Guo Song glanced at him with a smile.

This guy ......

Li Ji pointed to the logistics battalion, "From the number of their camp tents, I can judge that the strength of the opponent's logistics battalion is about 3,000 people, and the habit of the grassland army is to leave one percent of the troops for logistics, so I infer that the army of Xue Yantuo going south this time is still 30,000 people." ”

"General Li has a good sense of everything, and he deserves to be the first scout of Shuofang."

This is still Guo Song's heartfelt praise of a person, Li Ji smiled faintly, he didn't know how many times he crawled out of the pile of dead people, these experiences were exchanged for blood and lives by countless comrades-in-arms, where did he dare to call himself the first scout of the Shuofang Army.

"Let's go!"

Li Ji climbed down the mountain rock, but Guo Song jumped down, Li Ji looked at Guo Song in surprise and jumped directly from the three-zhang high mountain rock.

"How did you do that?"

He asked in amazement: "Ordinary people would fall to their deaths if they jumped down like this, but you were safe and sound!" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "There is a bit of a slope on the rock, and when you come down, you can borrow the friction between leather boots and mountain rocks to slow down the speed, but it is not difficult." ”

Li Ji rolled his eyes, isn't this difficult?

Only then did he understand why the Jiedu envoy would let Guo Song be in charge of the ignition plan, Guo Song did have a special ability that ordinary martial artists did not have, Li Ji's confidence suddenly increased, and the two of them accelerated and rushed to the logistics camp in the distance.

Xue Yantuo's logistics camp, like other steppe nomads, was simple and rough, far from building a large camp like the Central Plains army, like building a beautiful building, and the steppe people did not have that kind of patience and technology.

Their logistics camp is divided into two parts, one part is the barracks, and the other part is the sheep and horse pen, the military camp is not large, mainly the sheep and horse pen occupies a large area, and there are hundreds of thousands of fat sheep in it.

There are dozens of patrols patrolling back and forth around, this is their defense, for so many years, Xue Yantuo's army has never encountered an attack on the logistics battalion, so it gradually developed a kind of inertia, thinking that it is impossible for the Tang army to attack the logistics battalion.

"Did you find it?"

Li Ji pointed to the sheep and horse pen and said to Guo Song: "The exit of the sheep and horse pen is close to Weishui. ”

Guo Song groaned and said, "This should be to facilitate the sheep to drive the raft onto the mountain raft." ”

"Is this an opportunity?"

Guo Song understood what he meant, and looked at the Wei River, the riverbed was half a mile wide, and the water was very turbulent.

"You can give it a try!"

"Do you know your mission?" Li Ji asked again.

Guo Song nodded, his task was the most dangerous and the most important.

The two of them carefully observed around the logistics camp again, and then disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, the two returned to the campsite.

Li Ji immediately gathered everyone together and said to everyone: "The situation has been figured out, we will act tonight, and I will announce the list of participants below, Li Ji, Guo Song, Lin Tai, Guo Chongqing, Liang Wu, Liang Juer, Zhao Wuchu, Duan Sanniang, Guo Jiang, Lin Yang, Meng Chao, Xu Jing, Zhang Hua, the above thirteen people will fight tonight, and the remaining seventeen people will stay in the camp except for the five infected people and the three logistics people who stayed in the camp, and the other nine people are by the Yellow River to respond, what do you think?" ”

Guo Qiang raised his hand and said, "May I ask Captain Li, why can't I go?" ”

Li Ji glanced at everyone, there were still many who were not convinced, he said coldly: "It's not that you won't be allowed to go, but the people who go must know the water and be able to cross the Yellow River on a raft, if they all go, half of them will inevitably die in the Yellow River." ”

Guo Qiang lowered his head, he was indeed poor in water, and others no longer insisted, everyone knew how dangerous it was to cross the Yellow River at this time.

Li Ji said again: "Now everyone has a good rest, nourishes their spirits, and sets off after dark." ”

Guo Song leaned against a big pine tree, closed his eyes, and was a little tired from running all night.

At this time, he suddenly felt something, opened his eyes, and found that Duan Sanniang was actually standing in front of him, he quickly sat up straight and smiled: "What's the matter with Miss Duan?" ”

Duan Sanniang handed him a dagger and said coldly: "I heard my father say that you are in charge of the most dangerous ignition operation, I misunderstood you before, and I gave you this dagger as my apology!" ”

After speaking, she threw the dagger to Guo Song and left without looking back.

Guo Song was stunned, did he offend her? Why apologize to yourself.

He only remembered that he killed Guo Sheng's horse in front of her, could it be that he offended her?

Guo Song turned back to look at Liang Wu again, only to see Liang Wu looking at himself with a smile, don't misunderstand yourself this kid!

He looked at the dagger in his hand again, it was small, only half a foot long, and it was slender in shape, perfect for making throwing knives, but it was very delicately made, with a handle made of silver, and a few precious stones on it.

Guo Song slowly pulled out the dagger, only to feel a cold air rushing to his face, and suddenly startled him, the dagger was made of fine iron, the cold light was shining, sharp and abnormal, and there was a faint layer of blue halo on it, Guo Song suddenly realized that this dagger should have been built with star sand.

"This was given to her by her father last year, she actually gave it to you, she is good to you!" Liang Wu smiled and sat beside Guo Song.

Guo Song threw the dagger to him, "I have the wrist knife that your uncle gave me, and this dagger will be given to you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is for you."

Liang Wu returned the dagger to him again, "I heard Ling'er say that she has always wanted to apologize to you, but she couldn't pull it off, I guess I heard that you were leaving, so she came to you." ”

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Isn't that Gao Xianzhi's bow? She gave it to you, and you gave it back to her father, and she has always been obsessed with you. ”

Guo Song was a little speechless, he had forgotten about that incident a long time ago, and he was actually hated by others.

"But..... I should have apologized to her! ”

Liang Wu smiled, "Who can understand the little lady's thoughts, don't think about it so much, hurry up and rest, it's time for us to show our skills at night." ”
