067: In front of the White Emperor City
"I'm going to Kuizhou, together?"
“……”
After more than a month of running around in the mountains and forests, Gu Minglou has actually exhausted her, and yesterday I don't know if I drank wine, or I was really sleepy, so I stayed in the guest room that Jiayin opened for her, but I got up early in the morning and was about to say goodbye, but the other party asked such a question very casually.
Why?
Jia Yin looked into her eyes and said, "I have dreamed three times, dreaming of you, really." I thought about it for a long time last night, and I felt like I still had to tell you. ”
“……”
There was a flush at the base of Gu Minglou's neck and quickly spread to his whole body.
Jia Yin seemed to turn a blind eye, and said to himself: "Three months ago, there was a red dress, jumped off the cliff of Qingniling, everyone praised her greatness, with the will of death, martyrdom, only I know, it's not like this, it's really not like this, I will feel guilty for a lifetime, regret it for a lifetime." ”
"It's okay if I don't see you, when I see you, I think I still have to say what is in my heart, that day, you and I fought in the river, and it was my fault that I did everything, but I will be responsible, kiss you, then I will be good to you for the rest of my life, you don't have a man, right? Then marry me, go, and go to Kuizhou together. ”
Gu Minglou's brain was suddenly stunned, a big hand stretched out, her hand subconsciously shrank, but it was not as fast as the other party, if she wanted to resist, she didn't have any strength in her body, so she was in a daze, stunned and led by him, walked out of the inn, and came to the street, before her brain could react, she heard the man next to her shout:
"Folks, come and help testify, she is my woman, and from today, she is married to me......"
……
……
Marry him???
This is the problem......
It's like a nightmare.
In that battle two years ago, she and he tumbled from the mud into the river, a real wet close combat, each other, almost every inch of skin had intimate contact, his toughness, his fiery, that there was the sucking of his leaning over......
At that moment, it was like ascending to the immortal......
I don't know how many times I remember it in my dreams.
She regarded such dreams as nightmares, but her mind did not listen to them, and she could not forget them if she wanted to.
Therefore, since then, she has regarded Yizhou as a place of fear, and she has never set foot again, so she didn't know that she would meet him again when the ghost envoy in Fengzhou was sent by the gods.
Can...... How could he stay to eat and drink?
How can this be, how can you marry like this......
She was anxious to cry, but he accepted the blessings of the people with joy, from strangers to soldiers, to generals, assassins, everyone knew that he was like a lady.
I...... I...... I......
She never thought that in order to avenge the people in that small village, for a reward of tens of millions of dollars, she would sell herself upside down.
Her heart was resisting, but her body was still led by him without obeying the call......
Then, I didn't know how to get on the horse, and I seemed to hear him say in a daze: "The military situation is urgent, let's get off Kuizhou quickly, and go there to worship the church......"
The spear controlled the horse, three feet away from the pair of male and female feet in front, and praised it in his heart.
"Is that okay? Say that you will carry it on your shoulder, and it seems that the next time you see your heart, you will have to use this trick. ”
……
……
White Emperor City.
This White Emperor City, which is famous all over the world because of Liu Bei Tuogu and Li Bai's "Thousands of Miles of Jiangling in One Day", is no longer a city, because of the erosion of the river day and night, and has become a peninsula facing water on three sides.
It has its back to the gate, and the tiger is at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, which is like a sentry box at the intersection of three forks, and the danger is very high.
At that time, Gao Yanyu, a famous general in Western Shu, set up an iron pontoon bridge in front of this gorge, and almost ordered the fierce general Wang Xianqi to give his life here.
Today, Mu Yun still sets up the first level of defense here, and he is still iron across the river.
The difference is that there are no wooden fences, let alone crossbowmen, only two defensive fortresses at both ends of the iron cable, and the offensive firepower is all completed by the battleships on the river.
Because of the reason of Qutang Gorge, the upper reaches of this section of the river are very wide, the smoke and waves are vast, endless, and after turning south, the river surface is narrowed because of the tight lock of the two mountains, and the water flow is turbulent, as if the ghost gate is closed.
Therefore, Mu Yun's countermeasure is very simple, the warships are lined up, although the total number of warships is far less than that of the Song army, but due to the geographical factors, a situation of fighting more and fighting less is formed, and three fights and one are more than enough.
In terms of the number of warships, the difference between the two sides was doubled, but in terms of quality and volume, the Song army was at least three times stronger.
Because the Great Zhou Dynasty vigorously developed the naval division in the year of the expedition, and after the pacification of Huai, it absorbed a lot of equipment and talents from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the warships of the Shu army's naval division were all pulled away during the expedition to Shu.
And the Huya Sailor Division is newly built, with new ships and new soldiers.
And the positioning was very utilitarian at the beginning, in preparation for the attack on Kuizhou, after Kuizhou succeeded, the battleships were closed and closed, and the size was added together, and there were only 300 ships.
Among them, there are only sixty real warships - vehicles and ships.
This car and boat is the invention of Zu Chong in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, driven by pedal manpower, supplemented by sails, the speed is extremely fast, and the long-distance navigation ability is strong, so there is a name called "Thousand Miles Boat".
Among these vessels and ships, there were 50 two-story ships, equipped with poles, artillery carts, and ballistas, each of which could accommodate 150 sailors and 150 soldiers. There are ten ships on three floors, which can hold 500 sailors and 500 soldiers, and they are real warships.
When Qin Yue saw such a warship for the first time, he exclaimed, and then he was sneered at by Mu Yun, saying that now the war is still frequent, and many ancestors have lost their things, if it is a hundred years in the morning, on this river, the big ship of ten thousand stones is the norm, Yu Da Niang's boat has not heard of it, not only can carry ten thousand stones, but also open a garden to grow flowers and vegetables, hundreds of boatmen are all home to the ship, and do not get off the boat all year round. Nowadays, people have no face and no skin, such a small ship is also called a building ship, and the real building ship should be based on 3,000 people.
Mu Yun is actually hard-mouthed, if he is really asked to build a building boat that can accommodate 3,000 people, he will not build it, the reason is very simple, not only the cost is high, it is difficult to build, but also impractical, too big, too stupid.
Therefore, he only built so many small building boats and didn't build them, and more of them were Meng Chong boats and boarded the boat first. This Meng Chong and Xian Deng are also pedal-driven, but the hull is slender, and the Mengchong cabin is covered with cowhide, and the defense is excellent, except for the sailors, it can only accommodate forty-one soldiers to fight behind the spear holes of the crossbow window, and is dedicated to charging.
The first boarding boat with the operation is the troop carrier, dedicated to receiving the side of the melee combat, a boat can carry 100 soldiers, the bow of the ship has a winch hook to resist, the trigger is bracketed, the rope hook iron anchor can shoot out, firmly lock the enemy ship, and then the deck is overturned, it is a simple ladder, the armor soldiers from the cabin poured out, this first board, is the improved version of Muyun, different from the Central Plains and the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Then there is the boat yacht, also known as the red horse, which is "fast" in one word, but has no lethality, and is only used for sentry spying, harassing the enemy, and sneak attacks, and is used exclusively for sentry scouts.
On the other hand, the Song army had more than 300 building ships, and nearly 100 large troop carriers, followed by Meng Chong and Xiandeng, and the equipment was very different. But Mu Yun didn't seem to care, he only went to Tiezhu Gorge, inspected the two fortresses of the Hengjiang Iron Cable on the spot, and got off the boat in the White Emperor City, walked around, looked at it, and then returned to Kuizhou, business as usual, and often went to the street to chat with the people about family life.
Until the twenty-seventh day of February, in the rainy Feifei, the vanguard of the Song army made Han's banner appear at the mouth of Tiezhu Gorge.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
