Chapter 148: The Battle of Jinjiling III

There were about four or five hundred people, all of them wearing only shorts. He carried a waist knife in his hand. Stand neatly and neatly. Torches were lit all around. The light of the torch shines incessantly in the darkness, and the light from different angles renders the muscle lines at different angles. In will be the dark night as the background color. It's almost like an oil painting.

Cheng Jikong waved his hand, and many soldiers walked out. Each carried a large jar in his arms.

These jars are full of wine.

To be precise, it's spirits ginseng water.

Zhang Xuan didn't like to drink from the beginning, but he could also drink some alcohol, and there were changes in this regard, but he was consistent in one thing, that is, the problem of drinking in the army. Never supported.

This time the march was so urgent. Therefore, in the logistics materials, it has been doing subtraction, and even the grain is not much, only half a month of grain and grass, but fortunately, from Chenzhou to Yizhang all the way to the wind, you can eat the enemy. I haven't eaten a bite of dry food for the past fifteen days.

Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Xuan bother to bring wine.

The wine was brought from the military doctor.

Zhang Xuan's three-plate axe, stitching, spirits, sterilization in the medical camp. Therefore, in the medical camp, some wine is used for the military doctors. But this wine is not the same as before.

Before, I was looking for what kind of wine to use and what kind of wine to use. Now it is a winery specially established in Nanjing. The production of specialized spirits probably does not meet the standards of medical alcohol, but it is also very strong.

Used for disinfection.

It's just that today's medical camps are just a front station. They were not in a hurry, after all, the medical battalion would not follow the army, they were behind the army. A large number of supplies from the medical camp are waiting in the back, waiting for the large group to pass over, and then continue to transport.

However, just in case, in case an important person is injured, or something happens during this march, I also brought some.

In today's battle, Cheng Jikong's troops suffered heavy losses under Jinji Ridge. Naturally, there were a lot of wounded, and these wines were also in short supply.

Cheng Jikong is also Bingming Zhang Xuan, so he snatched a cart of wine from the medical camp.

But how can this cart of wine be drunk by five or six hundred people? I was able to take in some water. However, the alcohol content of these wines is also on the high side. After drinking water, the taste is better than before not participating in water.

"Brothers." Cheng Jikong said loudly: "In today's battle, I don't say much, it's all in the wine, it's a good man, I did it." ”

Hundreds of people raised their bowls together and shouted, "Done." ”

After drinking a large bowl of wine, the liquor rolled down my stomach, and I suddenly felt a surge of heat. Many people's faces turned red all of a sudden.

"Brothers, come with me." Chen Xiaoyi said loudly, then hugged a big bamboo and jumped into the rolling Wujiang River.

Although Xuzhou is in the north, in fact, there is no shortage of men who know water, there is no other reason, that is, the Yellow River, the Yellow River in later generations but Xuzhou, and this era of the Yellow River passed through Xuzhou, Xuzhou is divided into two pieces, and from time to time there is a big water, some people close to the Yellow River, naturally to be very proficient in swimming.

After Chen Xiaoyi jumped in first, the people behind him bit and tied the long knife and armor in the bamboo. Holding the big bamboo and jumping into the Wujiang River.

The two palms of the big bamboo can't be hugged. It's all air in between. Therefore, there is some buoyancy, and these bamboos are also made of local materials.

Cheng Jikong stood on the bank of the Wujiang River, looking at the rolling Wujiang River, stunned, he tried to see what the situation in the river was.

But under the dim vision, nothing can be seen clearly.

Some just prayed silently.

The water in the south seems to be different from the water in the north, compared to the Yellow River, it is dim, and when you enter the water, you can't see anything at all, you can only rely on feeling, and even in the water, you can feel the feeling of the rough sediment.

But there is no such feeling on the Wujiang side, but there is also a coldness in the river water in the autumn evening. The coldness and the warmth of the liquor cancel each other out. Feel a pull around your waist.

In order to prevent the water from washing people away. All were tied with a rope. Ten people were roped together. If he could, Chen Xiaoyi even wanted to tie everyone together with ropes.

But this is not a possible thing, and if you do it, there are even side effects.

Chen Xiaoyi's gaze was floating on the surface of the river. In the dimness, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't see clearly, and could only follow the speed of the water. to judge how far he rushed down.

"It's time." Chen Xiaoyi said secretly. Then he swam to the northeast.

It took a while to get ashore, and there were only a few dozen people who came ashore here, and the rest didn't know where they had been washed away by the water. Chen Xiaoyi knew that he was now advancing and retreating, untying the armor and weapons on the big bamboo, and holding the long knife in his hand, which gave him a lot of security, so he shouted and said: "Brothers, kill me." ”

Immediately, there were only a few dozen people, and Chen Xiaoyi also dared to enter Pingshi Town.

Pingshi Town was originally a bustling town. However, because of the war, many people fled. Especially yesterday, the sound of fighting in the north of Jinjiling for a whole day, and in the evening, many people went up the mountain to avoid it.

Therefore, Pingshi Town is a lot less popular than usual. And the few are young and strong.

Remembering the sound of killing, no one in the town dared to go out at all, and the few lights that were scattered were hurriedly blown out.

There weren't many defenders in the entire town of Pingshi at all. It's just a hundred and ten people guarding a warehouse. Chen Xiaoyi rushed up, but in a moment, more than 100 people were taken care of.

In the fighting, although a few people were also lost. But the soldiers who had scattered ashore rushed to the place where the shouts of killing were heard as if they had heard a trumpet.

After a while, the entire Pingshi Town was under Chen Xiaoyi's control.

Chen Xiaoyi ordered people to shout in the town: "All the people, don't go out at any chance, otherwise they will all be killed." Then he broke into the doors of several large households, and recruited many things in these large households, the most of which was firewood.

Bonfires are lit in the streets and alleys of Pingshi Town, and when you look at it from a distance on Jinji Ridge, it looks as if it is on fire.

At this time, Chen Xiaoyi had time to count the number of people.

While he was roasting a fire next to the campfire, drying his soaked clothes, he asked the people around him to count the number of people.

But after a while, it was counted.

There were only four hundred and twenty-three.

More than a dozen of them died in the fight at that time, and the rest did not come out in the Wujiang River.

I don't know if I rushed somewhere, or drowned in the Wujiang River.

"Don't worry, my lords, the brothers are all first-class masters, and they have all swam in the Yellow River, this Wujiang River is much worse than the Yellow River, and it must have rushed somewhere. It's fine. The people around him persuaded.

"I hope so." Chen Xiaoyi said.

He knew that if he didn't swim well, he wouldn't drown.

Good swimmers drown.

In addition, in the unfamiliar and turbulent water, anything can happen.

Sometimes I was unlucky and was washed on a stone by the river. If you hit your head and die, even the best swimming skills are useless.

"My lord, there is an abnormality on Jinji Ridge." A person came to Chen Xiaoyi's side and said.

Chen Xiaoyi jumped up from the ground almost immediately, and immediately looked in the direction of Jinji Ridge, looking at Jinji Ridge from Pingshi Town, it was like looking at Jinji Ridge from inside the city, as if looking at the tall city wall. At this moment, Chen Xiaoyi saw a long line of torches, walking down from the mountain.

Naturally, it won't be anything else. It can only be that the Ming army above Jinji Ridge has come down.

"Good. They are the ones who are waiting. Chen Xiaoyi's eyes were red. I think of the brothers who died under the Jinji Ridge during the day. He had already seen that the strength of the Ming army on Jinji Ridge was not enough, but Jinji Ridge was too steep, so they could not overcome it repeatedly. Moreover, Chen Xiaoyi also knew that the Ming army on Jinjiling Mountain was only one or two thousand people. At this time, they can draw half of their troops, but they are only about a thousand people.

At this time, they actually dared to go down the mountain, although there were only more than 400 people around Chen Xiaoyi, they also dared to fight with the Ming army.

However, how to fight requires skill.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately led the people around him into the darkness.
