The Daning scouts who sneaked into the north bank didn't sleep all night, everyone seemed to have walked around from the ghost gate, some people came out alive, some people stayed in the ghost gate and couldn't get out again, and Shen Leng on the south bank didn't sleep all night, he was still standing next to the reeds and watching, the left hand was sore and numb, and the right hand was sore and numb and then changed back to the left hand, he knew that Chen Ran and they should be temporarily safe, but they were just not at ease, how could they be relieved.

When Yan Kaisong found Shen Leng, he found that there was a layer of frost on Shen Leng's iron armor.

"The weather is turning."

Shen Leng looked sideways at Yan Kaisong: "This year's cold turned earlier than in previous years, and we didn't have as much time as expected." ”

Yan Kaisong helped Shen Leng for a moment: "Go back and rest." ”

Shen Leng hummed and took a step, only to find that his legs hurt and he couldn't get out for a while, standing motionless for a long time, not only his legs were no longer good, but even his eyes were the same, red and red.

"According to the plan, let the brothers continue to shout on the shore, and the auxiliaries continue to cut wood to build pontoon bridges and rafts, don't be afraid of more, the more the better."

Shen Leng moved for a while before he could barely walk smoothly: "Wait for three days, three days at most, it has already snowed, and the snow will come soon." ”

After returning to the camp, Shen Leng asked his soldiers to fetch some hot water and ran his feet, and when his feet reached into the basin, there was a piercing pain, but he knew that what he had endured was nothing compared to Chen Ran, who lurked in such cold water for an hour.

The next day, his subordinates asked for instructions on when to attack, and Shen Leng replied that he would wait and see.

Then he stood on the shore for a day.

On the third day, his generals came again to ask for instructions on when to attack, but Shen Leng replied that he was still waiting and seeing, and then stood by the river for another day.

That night, Shen Leng raised the account to discuss the matter.

"It's been three days and two nights, and our people haven't been able to provoke the refugees, and I believe they have done their best, and if they are given some more time, they will definitely succeed, but we don't have that much time to continue waiting."

Shen Leng breathed a sigh of relief: "In the past few days, the auxiliary battalion has cut down enough wood, calculated it, enough to build five pontoon bridges, but you and I both know that we may not be able to build a pontoon bridge, but now we have no other choice, and the casualties will be too great if we build a pontoon bridge during the day, so I want to start tonight." ”

Yan Kai was relieved: "It is too difficult to build a pontoon bridge at night. ”

"The casualties are relatively small."

Shen Leng said: "We can't see clearly, and they can't see it either, judging by the sound, if you shoot arrows at our side, it's much worse than aiming and shooting, tell everyone, I will lead the pro-military battalion to go into the water with all the auxiliaries to drive piles." ”

Yan Kaisong's face changed: "General Shen, this can't work. ”

Shen Leng shook his head and said: "There is nothing that can't be done, I didn't allow Chen Ran to go before he took people to the north shore, he said that they were all children born and raised by his father's mother, why should anyone go to him who can't go, or this sentence, they are all men born and raised by his father's mother, why can't I go down if the auxiliary soldiers can get into the water?" Tonight, all the people who participated in the construction of the pontoon bridge, whether they were soldiers or auxiliaries, generals or team leaders, each of them was given a pot of wine, and we seized a lot of wine, which was given to everyone to warm up. ”

He looked at his soldiers: "Go and bring me a pot of wine." ”

Shen Leng got up: "In the past, the brothers of the auxiliary soldiers helped the soldiers fight, but today we are the opposite, and every auxiliary soldier who drives piles and paves pontoon bridges must have a soldier with a shield to guard." ”

All the generals clasped their fists and stood solemnly: "Respect the general's order!" ”

Shen Leng walked outside the tent

He said loudly: "I have already ordered the Huotou Army to cook just now, add a meal tonight, all the first batch of people who go up to build the pontoon bridge will fill their stomachs with me first, and after they are full, we can conquer a country in the Bohai Sea, can't we conquer an Anshui River?!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

At the same time, seventy miles north of Pingguang City.

A fight, under the moonlight, you can see the dense corpses on the ground, the smell of blood is so strong that the wind can't take it away again and again, the smell in everyone's nose can't be dispersed for a long time, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, everywhere is dead and blind, the smell of blood and the smell of incontinence that people will be uncontrollable before death are mixed together, this is the smell of the battlefield.

Meng Changan raised his hand to wipe the blood that fascinated his eyes, looked sideways at the scimitar stuck on his shoulder, pulled out the knife and threw it away casually, the soldiers wanted to come over and bandage him, Meng Changan turned over and got on the horse, ripped off his mutilated left shoulder armor and said loudly: "Wrap while walking, blow the horn, and continue to move forward!" ”

Liu Hao, one of the six gunners beside him, persuaded: "General, the brothers have been fighting for almost a day and a night, let the brothers rest." ”

"When we get to Pingguang City, we can wait for time, time will not wait for us."

He looked south into the darkness, as if he could see the silly boy's honest smile.

Leng Zi, wait for me.

On the south bank of the Anshui River, thousands of auxiliaries were full, encouraging each other, carrying a large number of bridge-building materials to the river, Shen Leng took off the black armor of Xuantie, only wore a single coat, carried a few pieces of wood and moved forward with the auxiliaries.

"Brothers, which of you has not taken a wife?"

Shen Leng shouted.

Someone replied loudly: "General, I don't have a mother-in-law yet!" ”

"That's easy!"

Shen Leng pointed to the other side of the river: "The men of the Bohai Kingdom are about to be killed by us, marry the girls home, let them see what life is like with the men of Daning, and let them see how much stronger Daning is than Bohai!" ”

There was a burst of laughter.

As soon as he rushed to the shore with the wood, the horn on the opposite bank sounded, and there was the sound of fluttering water on the river, which was a heavy crossbow arrow shot by the bed crossbow on the opposite bank, and the crossbow arrow was arm thick, and it could almost break the person in two when it hit the person, but the Bohai people couldn't see clearly at night how the pontoon bridge of the Ning people was built, and it was just a blind launch, but the range was not so far.

The auxiliaries rolled their trouser legs down the river, and in order to cheer each other up, they sang Daning's war song, which seemed to tear the entire night sky apart.

At the beginning, the speed of building a bridge on the south side of the river bank was very fast, and the five pontoon bridges began to be built at the same time, and the sound of piling was thumping together, and the soldiers standing in the river held the wooden stakes, not only to endure the cold and piercing of the river, but also to endure the vibration of the heavy hammer on the wooden stakes, and the people who went into the water were tied together with ropes, although the water was not particularly urgent, but in case someone was washed away, there was a rope connected to everyone and they could be rescued.

The sound of piling, the singing, made the night tremble.

The Bohai people on the north bank of the river shouted as if they were crazy, the torches lit up the whole north bank, and a large number of archers began to gather to the river, and the refugees who had issued bows and arrows were also driven to the river.

Chen Ran walked forward with the refugees, not far away a refugee was squeezed to the ground, someone reached out to help him up, and the Bohai Navy soldier next to him went up with a stick: "Grind, are you afraid of death?" Hurry forward, none of you will survive if the Ning people kill you. ”

Chen Ran was anxious,

It's been three days since he arrived here, but he still hasn't been able to instigate the refugee riot, he knows that Shen Leng must not be able to wait any longer before he starts to forcibly build a pontoon bridge, because if he fails to complete the task, how many Daning's brothers will be killed by random arrows in the river?

Seeing the refugee falling, Chen Ran suddenly became anxious: "What are you doing!" ”

He roared in the words of the Bohai people, rushed over to protect the beaten refugee and shouted: "Don't think we don't know, the Ning people won't kill the refugees, it's you who want to kill us, if you don't dare to fight with the Ning army, let us go to the front to die, you took our food, but when you were fighting, you couldn't protect us, and you wanted us to die!" ”

The Bohai soldier who beat people froze for a moment, and smashed down on Chen Ran's head with a wooden stick: "Are you looking for death!" ”

Chen Ran gritted his teeth and didn't hide, the stick hit him on the forehead, the blood flowed down in an instant, his head was groggy, he couldn't stand steadily, he stretched out his hand to help a refugee next to him and shouted loudly: "These soldiers eat dry rice three times a day, and all three meals are dry rice, which is the food we grow!" But what about us, we only have one bowl of gruel a day, and now there is going to be a war, but they dare not go up when they are full, but let us die! ”

Sumeru Yan squeezed over from a distance, originally wanting to protect Chen Ran, but immediately shouted after hearing the shout: "We also have a full meal!" Let's go to war, we also have to eat dry food, and we can fight when we have enough food! ”

The Bohai soldier who did it before was pushed away by everyone, and he suddenly became furious: "Do you want to rebel!" ”

Sumeru saw the opportunity, kicked the soldier in the back from behind, and when the soldier fell forward, Chen Ran's dagger slashed across the soldier's neck, because the movement was too fast, and the people were crowded, no one noticed the fleeting of the dagger, the soldier convulsed after he fell, and was turned over to find that he was about to die.

"Kill it!"

Chen Ran shouted loudly: "Someone killed the soldier!" Everyone, run. ”

Let the refugees riot - they don't dare to kill the soldiers, but let them run, of course they dare, and they definitely don't even want to run behind others, the people in front are crowded, and the people behind don't know what is happening but are infected by panic and run away, panic spreads faster than the plague.

"The officers and soldiers are killing!"

Chen Ran took the opportunity to shout again, and the Ning Jun scouts who were mixed in the crowd shouted.

"Run, the officers and soldiers are starting to kill!"

"They want to kill us all, there is no food!"

"Someone surrendered to the Ning army, and the King of Bohai ordered us all to be killed!"

"Everyone, run, the archers of the official army are coming towards us, they are not trying to kill the Ning people, but to shoot us!"

"Kill the archers!"

"Kill the archers! Otherwise, everyone will die! ”

The shouts came and went.

Man is a social animal.

At the instigation and guidance of the scouts of the Ning army, a large number of refugees rushed towards the archers, and they didn't know what they were going to do, in short, they couldn't die in vain.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees started from one point to another, but soon the chaos became a large area.

South.

Hearing the shout, Shen Leng looked at the north bank, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Everyone work hard, the Bohai people are in chaos on their side, they are in chaos!"

When he shouted this sentence in a hoarse voice, Shen Leng couldn't help but want to cry.

Chen Ran, Chen Ran...... You hold on, and we'll be over right away. ()
