Chapter 45: Exposure (3)
"Ah, come on, look, it's floating in the water...... It's people who are drifting...... Or who? Ah Cai, who was drying clothes on the bow of the boat, saw the looming black thing floating on the river in the distance, because she was afraid that something would happen to the soldiers who went out, so she hurriedly shouted.
A little soldier ran over and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”
Ah Cai pointed to his hand and said, "Look, is that a person?" It's like a dead man. She thought for a moment and said, "Could it be our soldiers?" With so many of us rushing upstream to fight, will it ...... Alas, whether it is or not, get him up quickly. ”
The young soldier called two men to help, and the man who had drifted in the river was successfully fished onto the boat.
Ah Cai stepped forward and said; "Ah, isn't this Zhong Yitong, Brother Zhong?"
Several of the young soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the man.
Ah Cai commanded: "Quick, you turn him upside down, pour out all the water in his stomach, and help him breathe, quickly, so that there may be salvation." ”
She flipped over Zhong Yitong's body and said in shock, "Oh, there is still an arrow on the body, pull it out quickly, the wound must not be small, so serious." Bring me the medicine, and the cloth, and I'll give him the medicine. She put down Zhong Yitong, ran to the kitchen to boil water, brought it to disinfect his wound, and then applied medicine to bandage it.
"Sister, don't worry, there are military doctors here, tell them to do it." The young soldier advised, "I have heard that if you don't diagnose whether the arrow is poisonous, you will die if you pull it out rashly." ”
But Ah Cai probed Zhong Yitong's snort with his hand and found that he was no longer breathing at this time, and his life was far more than dying, but hopeless. She cried and said, "Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, what's the matter with you?" Wake up, wake up, there's a lot to do. ”
The military doctor who accompanied the ship came running with a medicine box. When he was examining Zhong Yitong's body, he found an arrow wound, looked at the pulled arrow and said: "Fortunately, this is just an ordinary arrow without poison, but it has been stuck in the body and floated so far, after soaking in water, the wound worsens, and it is not lighter than poison." He then touched Zhong Yitong's pulse number, and without saying a word, he quickly squeezed his chest.
Ah Cai looked at it and stopped angrily: "What do you want to do?" You think he's dying slowly, right? ”
The military doctor ignored her, and just hurried to squeeze Zhong Yitong's chest, and as his movements accelerated, Zhong Yitong's mouth and nose squirted water from time to time, and he slowly felt the things in his chest pulsate. This is a great encouragement to the military doctors.
His squeezing massage gradually became more relaxed, one, two, three...... He stood up and said, "I'm finally angry, quickly bring the quilt, wrap his body, wait two hours, and maybe he will be able to speak." ”
Ah Cai said in disbelief: "If you don't speak for two hours, I won't finish with you, and I will definitely ask General Zhuang to punish you." ”
Zhuang Ji led the fleet forward at full speed, and when the day was about to dawn, he found a small stream in front of him, so he sent people to investigate. He was very disappointed by the fact that the water was shallow and the river was narrow, and he could not dock his boats.
But Zhuang Ji knew that if he missed this creek, if he looked for it again, he might not even be able to find such a narrow stream. He made up his mind that he must use this creek closest to Wushan to deal with Sima Cuo.
Of course, he didn't know that Sima Cuo had returned to Wucheng, and he still thought in his heart that once Wushan was captured, he would definitely capture General Sima's god-level little "qingren" Xiao Yelian. Therefore, no matter how difficult this battle is, you must take Wucheng by surprise.
Zhuang Ji said to Liu Huaibei: "You select a hundred soldiers who are like dragons to gather, and I have something to say to them." ”
"Yes, General." Liu Huaibei felt that it was not difficult to do this. He didn't use much effort, so he brought the people to the boat and said, "General Zhuang, these people are all dragons in the water that I have carefully selected, and they will go over the river and the sea to drill the Dragon Palace. ”
Zhuang Ji said to them: "Listen, this time led by Liu Huaibei, ten warships, each boat is only equipped with ten people, a total of one hundred people. Your task is to meet the arrows and torches of the Qin army, go up and absorb their arrows, and then light the fire, and when the fire of the warship is ignited, you must dive to the shore and continue to fight the enemy. Do you have faith? ”
"Yes. Be sure to complete the task. Hundreds of people answered in unison.
Zhuang Ji hid the other warships in this stream, and all the soldiers migrated on foot to chase Xiao Bu's land soldiers.
When Xiao Bu's advance team arrived at the mouth of the Wuxi River, the Qin army had already connected the warships in the river and completely blocked the river. It seems that the original plan to grab ships and force crossings is no longer possible, and we must think of new ways to deal with it.
After listening to the report of the advance team, Xiao Bu personally touched the river to inspect it, and quickly returned to the hiding place, and said to the soldiers in a low voice: "Who can dive across this river?" Raise your hand. ”
Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to raise their hands.
"That's strange, there are so many of us Dongdi soldiers, and none of them can dive across the river?" Xiao Bu said suspiciously, "Are you all afraid of death?" Or did I Xiaobu do something sorry for you? ”
One of the soldiers quickly said, "No...... No, we don't know why we should dive across the river. In the face of the enemy's blockade, we just fight, and no one is afraid of death, so why do we have to dive? ”
"Oh, I see." Xiaobu explained, "It's easy to fight. But we have to make the least sacrifice to achieve the greatest victory. Diving across the river is not for fear of death, but for a plan. Let the Qin landlubber on the loess know the nine-headed bird in the Chu world. ”
Hahaha...... I see.
"Okay, I'll go." "I'll go." "And me. ”…… Five hundred Dongdi soldiers, almost all of them raised their hands.
Xiao Bu saw it, scratched his ears and cheeks, and thought to himself that there are so many people, who should he choose? In the end, I had to say: "Time is tight, the task is urgent, and it is impossible for everyone to go." Stand in ten lines, and count them in order. ”
Under the organization of the leaders of each team, the soldiers quickly stood in line and pressed one, two, three, four, and five...... The number of sequential reports. It didn't take much time, and all the numbers were reported.
Xiao Bu looked at the neat and orderly team and said loudly: "The soldier who reported the number of 18 just now stood up. ”
The soldier with the same numbers took a triumphant step forward and stood in front of Xiao Bu.
Xiao Bu said solemnly: "The task of the ten of you is to quickly dive, pass under the enemy's ship, and break through their defense line with one dive. Remember, after diving across the river, quietly climb ashore, enter the city, find the Qin stronghold, and get some of their bows and arrows, axes, swords, halberds, etc., of course, the more the merrier. You must also remember that this operation is responsible for the victory of the entire Chu army, and if anyone is blind, don't come back to see me. ”
One of the ten people raised his hand, his legs trembled and said, "Little Left General, I'm ...... I don't know how to dive. ”
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Bu said dissatisfiedly, "I almost made a mistake." ”
When the soldiers in the large group standing behind heard this, their arms were like mushrooms after a rain, and they raised them one after another, scrambling to be the first to be this candidate.
Seeing this Xiaobu, he unexpectedly waved his arm and said: "The ten of us are already a formed team, and none of them can be changed." You can't dive, just swim on the surface, but I'm not responsible for whether you can swim over alive, or whether you can come back alive, don't blame me for being harsh, because we are always facing the poisonous arrows of the Qin army. He raised his right hand up and shouted, "Go!" 166 Reading Network
