Chapter 42 "Touching the Wei River"
"You can't do it." Ah Zhen patted him on the shoulder, then squinted at everyone and said, "Send a dozen or so people to quietly throw a large pile of rotting wood stumps in the forest into the river every three or five times." ”
didn't understand what he was going to do, Hu Che'er was stunned and asked, "Brother Zhen, what is this for?" ”
"To confuse the enemy soldiers, of course." I didn't understand why he was so stupid, so he raised a finger and said, "Let's throw things into the river every once in a while, and the river will carry these stumps and rotten wood through the Liao camp on the hillside, and the Liao soldiers will be suspicious and probe." ”
"Of course." Hu Che'er said as a matter of course: "Suddenly there are so many stumps of rotten wood, the patrol must investigate. ”
"Yes." Ah Zhen squinted his eyes insidiously and said, "After a few investigations, if you find that there is nothing unusual, you will be paralyzed." Let's take advantage of their paralyzed psychology and sneak over. ”
Hu Che'er suddenly realized, and praised with a thumbs up: "Good idea." ”
"Hmm." Seeing that everyone understood, he gave an order to the people around him: "Niu Dan, Brother Ma, the two of you will each lead five people, and go to the river a few miles downstream to act accordingly." ”
"Brother Zhen, why do you want to go a few miles downstream?" Niu Dan and Brother Ma are puzzled, can't they just throw it here? Why bother?
"Stupid." Ah Zhen glared at them fiercely, and whispered: "If the enemy soldiers send spies to find out where these stumps and rotten wood come from, there are so many of us here, where can we retreat silently and cleanly for a while?" ”
"Yes, thick." Niu Dan and Brother Ma had a clear face, and they hugged Ah Zhen in admiration, and hurriedly led the ten brothers to go down a few miles to do something insidious.
In the dead jungle, the two hundred people squatted silently and waited, Ah Zhen looked up to the sky and looked at the newly rising crescent, and instructed everyone: "Cross the river again in the middle of the night, send two scouts to investigate around, alternate every half hour, and the others go to bed first." ”
The squatting feet were sore, Ah Zhen sat on the sludge and rotten ground very unwillingly, pulled out the grass and glanced into the distance a few times, before he said to the world around him with peace of mind: "Hu Che'er, you told me all about this Ah Qiuqiu." "Knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles.
"Hmm." Hu Che'er is a rough soldier, sleeping in the stinky ditch is commonplace, and he sits on the rotten ground without thinking about it, and he is very happy to open his mouth like a river, knowing everything, saying everything, like the river surging continuously, and like the lake and the sea bursting the embankment out of control.
The night is deeper, all the sounds are silent, the crescent moon slowly crawls and hangs in the sky, the gloom is sprinkled on the undulating camps of the two armies, and sprinkled on the soldiers of the two countries who can't help but decide on their own life and death, and the night is quietly deep.
Just as Hu Che'er was talking about the heat, the scout Gollum who dived into the water to investigate came out of the Lan Shui, climbed ashore and hurriedly hid in the grass, interrupting the gushing Hu Che'er who spoke very coolly: "Head, the patrolling Liao army saw a large number of debris trees swimming in Hanoi, and after salvaging and probing a few times, they no longer bothered with it. ”
"Okay." Hu Che'er, who stopped urgently, was overjoyed. "Brother Zhen, let's take the opportunity to sneak over."
"Hmm." After listening to this for most of the night, Ah Zhen looked up at the crescent moon in the sky that was about to climb to the middle. "Did the Liao army send someone to find out where these remnants of wood came from?"
"Nope." The scout who went to investigate shook his head without thinking about it.
After being silent for a while, after thinking about it, Ah Zhen hurriedly ordered: "Go and call Niu Dan and Brother Ma back, let's sneak through the defense road." ”
"Yes." The drenched scout immediately bent over and hurried towards the sinister ones.
After a while, the scouts who went to recall a dozen or so people returned.
Ah Zhen saw that these people who had been working for most of the night were covered in sweat, and hurriedly summoned everyone to him. "You are not allowed to make a sound, you are not allowed to poke your head out behind a broken tree, you know?"
"Yes." A terrifying aura surrounded the two hundred guards, and their hearts were so nervous that they almost jumped out of their throats.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." After thinking about all the countermeasures, Ah Zhen suppressed the fear in his heart, and only after comforting him did he order: "Do it." ”
"Yes."
For a while, everyone moved together and emptied the rotten roots of the remnants of the trees around.
The midnight water was extremely cold, and after tiptoeing into the water, a refreshing chill made Ah Zhen feel comfortable.
Porphy ......
Porphy ......
As Ah Zhen entered the water, two hundred soldiers Lu Lu followed and dived into the water, not daring to breathe vigorously to shrink the cat behind the remnants of the roots, and flowed down silently with the waves.
In the middle of the night, more than 200 people carrying the remnants of the wood, hiding from the remnants of the wood, whose hearts were stuck in their throats, flowed leisurely around Weishan.
At the foot of Weishan, a hill slope is stationed in a village camp card, several teams of Liao soldiers with guns and spears are patrolling along the river alternately, and the Liao soldiers by the river are three steps and one sentry, and five steps and one post. The guards armed with torches illuminated the Wei River in this area.
After drifting for a long time, seeing that the fire in front of them was approaching, more than 200 people who had stolen the defense road clenched their teeth, and their hearts kept pounding, and layers of cold sweat flowed from the forehead door into the cold river like raindrops, and instantly blended with the cold water.
"Captain, look, there's driftwood floating over again."
When a large piece of debris floated to the garrison, a very soft voice came into the hundreds of ears of the cat shrunk behind the dead wood, the first time to do this kind of thing under the eyes of the enemy's skin, Ah Zhen's heart was also like a drum, sweat was like a brush like rain pouring down, and he didn't even dare to breathe vigorously when he was tightly inhaled.
"Hmm." The captain of the patrol turned his head to look at the large stump floating on the river, waved his hand and shouted: "It must be that the upper camp will be moved tomorrow, and send someone to clear the remnants of the wood, so there is no need to make a fuss." ”
"Yes." It was salvaged just now, and the Liao soldiers didn't suspect it at all, and followed their captain forward with dust guns and sharp spears.
Call......
Hearing these small words, everyone's heart fell back to the ground slightly, but they still didn't dare to be careless, silent, silent, silent, quietly the cat shrank behind the stump, and chased farther and farther with the water.
After nearly three miles of the enemy village, there was no fire or light around, and Hu Che'er, who was quietly hiding behind the giant tree, was settled, and quietly swam forward with the water.
"Brother Zhen, we have passed the enemy defense, we can go ashore."
"Go ashore to the left." Ah Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, as he expected, these stupid soldiers really thought that the upper-class camp was the remnants of the Qingli in the village.
"Yes." Hu Che'er was overjoyed, and the yellow flag in his hand waved vigorously to the left.
"Whoa......
"Whoa......
"Whoa......
As the yellow flag shook, the 200 soldiers who had their hearts back to their stomachs paddled and climbed up to the left bank, all of them soaking wet their underwear.
Helped ashore by Su Da Su Xiao, Ah Zhen immediately led everyone into the forest, took out the wet map, and carefully spread it out. In the dim light, the map was blurry and black, but the general direction was faintly discerning.
"Hu Che'er, we have crossed Weishan, we have to rush to Tupo Mountain ten miles away in Texas before dawn to hide, otherwise our lives will be lost as soon as dawn dawns."
"Weishan is only nearly 100 miles away from Dezhou, and it will be dawn in three hours, we are now enemies all around, and I am afraid that it will be ...... at dawn" Speaking of this, Hu Che'er was very embarrassed. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”
Knowing what he was thinking, Ah Zhen took back the map and said, "Don't worry, tell everyone to try to slow down and hurry towards the mound slope." ”
"This ......" Hu Che'er was afraid, shook his head and persuaded: "Brother Zhen, if you expose it like this, I'm afraid it will attract dog soldiers." ”
"No, it won't." Ah Zhen shook his head and said: "There are 350,000 soldiers and horses in Weishan in front of them, and the soldiers of Texas will have nothing to fear and sleep leisurely, and the patrols will not do their best." When the words fell, he said more carefully than a finger: "What you have to pay attention to is not the Texas soldiers, but the letter horses who are scouting and passing." ”
"Is that so?" Hu Che'er didn't believe it.
"Don't you believe me?" Not to mention this brain-dead world, even in the official history, the hearts of soldiers are the same.
"Of course I do." Hu Che'er gritted his teeth, stood up and whispered to everyone: "Go at full speed to the ten-mile mound slope in Texas." ”
For the first time, the people who had always suffered defeat passed under the eyelids of the 350,000 enemy troops, and although there was no victory, this move undoubtedly brought a great impact to their desolate hearts, and a kind of hope instantly welled up in their defeated hearts, and they listened to his orders to rush with the boss sweating profusely in the dark. Maybe they can really win? Because who can steal through the line of defense from under the noses of 350,000 strong enemies? Right! They can, they can.
The crescent moon fell in the west, and the dim yellow dust road sounded with the sound of running.
Ah Zhen, who was panting violently, felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, his mouth was dry, his heart was panting, and his lungs were choked.
"Brother Zhen, hold on." Su Da, who was on his side, saw that he was about to fall, so he hurriedly supported him and hurriedly followed Hu Che'er in front.
Such a long-distance rush made Ah Zhen almost collapse, and his throat was dry: "Su Da, give me a water bag." ”
A strong shoulder bent to support him, and with one hand untied the water bag in front of his waist, Su Da did it in one go, and bit off the wooden cover with his mouth. "Brother Zhen."
Shaking a pair of veteran hands, Ah Zhen took the water bag and poured a few sips before he asked Hu Che'er who led the way: "How much distance is there?" ”
"Don't worry." Hu Che'er's wolf eyes scanned around, his face was not red and he didn't breathe, and replied: "At this speed, it will be ten miles to Texas in another hour." ”
"Hmm." The response was laborious, Ah Zhen felt that his physical strength had reached its peak, and he no longer ran forward silently, secretly sighing that the ancient people were all cockroaches, and they ran for so long on the eleventh road, and they didn't blush or pant for so long. If we go back to the 21st century, Kenya and Ethiopia will definitely withdraw from the stage of marathon history.
Before dawn, on a huge mountain ten miles away from the side of Dezhou, the leaves are lush and the giant roots are coiled, and the sound of the spring is heard before entering the forest, and the water of the Wei River, which is not much behind, stretches through the mountain, and the clear stream is long, murmuring.
"Breath ......" cramps in the limbs and stiffness in the hands and feet. After arriving at the destination, Ah Zhen trembled and was drenched in sweat. was dragged into the forest by the support, trembling to the ground, the muscles of his legs and hands were convulsed, the sweaty old face looked around, and there was a sound of clear spring flying in his ears. Exhaled heavily before asking Hu Che'er beside him, "Where is this?" ”
"Huh?" Seeing that he was so weak, Hu Che'er fed the water bag on his waist to his mouth, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "This is the mound slope." ”
"Really?" Brain Gate glanced at the lush forest under the moonlight again, and said with pale lips: "I thought it was just a forest, a few mounds, but I didn't expect this forest to be so big." ”
"Brother Zhen, you are really a god." Hu Che'er raised his fingers and praised: "It's really all expected by you, these soldiers in Texas are as stupid as sows, and they don't even notice it." ”
"Hmm." After pouring a large bag of water, Ah Zhen untied his flooded and sweat-soaked clothes, and ordered: "Send four scouts to investigate, and the hours will alternate." ”
"Yes."
"Everybody have some dry food and rest in hiding."
"Yes."
As the order landed, more than 200 people were also extremely tired, and quickly dispersed, looking for their own hiding places, took out the only remaining dry food from their arms, and after eating them, they closed their eyes and leaned on the treeside to rest.
Seeing that everyone was scattered, Ah Zhen took out the wet and dry sketch covered by body heat from his arms with shaking hands and looked at it carefully.
Hu Che'er, Niu Dan, Ma Ge, Su Daxiao, the five of them surrounded Ah Zhen in the middle, looking at the rough map on the ground, not knowing what to do next.
"Brother Zhen, what are we going to do next?" was expected by him twice in a row, and Hu Che'er became more and more convinced of Ah Zhen.
Staring at the map in front of him, Ah Zhen thought for a while before he pointed his finger at the northern basin of the Yellow River and asked, "How many miles away is this basin from us?" ”
Following his fingers, Hu Che'er said, "Nearly a hundred miles." ”
Hearing that it was nearly a hundred miles, Ah Zhen's face suddenly became worried, and he thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "When it gets dark, we must arrive here in the middle of the hour." ”
"No problem." Hu Che'er nodded and said: "There are no cities and villages along the way between Dezhou and the Yellow River, so you can run with all your might, and you can reach it at the beginning of the day." "Last night, there were cities and villages, and they all dared to rush. Rushing on the wilderness mountain road without a city or a village, what is there to fear?
"Alas......" Thinking of running a hundred miles again, Ah Zhen's slightly slow muscles suddenly twitched. Sighing heavily, Sanggan asked after rowing along the northern river basin to the Great Wall, "How many miles is the distance?" ”
"About seventy miles." Gollum looked at the map with both eyes, and Hu Che'er added with a pale face: "Brother Zhen, this route is extremely steep, it is better not to take this road." ”
"This must be the case." Ah Zhen said firmly: "There is Zhending on the left of this road, and there is a river on the right, and these two cities must have a large number of wolf troops." Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "But only by interspersing the two cities can the back be safe." ”
"Brother Zhen, why?" Hu Che'er wondered, pointed to the map and marked: "Let's go to the right, pass through Nanjing, and then go around from Nanjing Road to Sanggan, isn't it the same?" ”
"It takes an extra day. Moreover...... "finger force point to the original border line of the two countries: "Nanjing Road was originally the border between Jin Liao and my Xia Zhou, and this place is the main army entry road, even though Jin Liao has now attacked and seized the cities and roads of my Xia and Zhou, and the army is pressed forward, but these key roads must still have a large number of open and dark cards, which are not safe. ”
"This ......" Hu Che'er nodded in agreement, but asked with palpitations: "Brother Zhen, do you have to pass through the two cities of Bading and Hejian?" "It's dangerous.
"Don't worry." Patting Hu Che'er, Ah Zhen comforted: "There is a gap of nearly fifty miles between these two cities, so let's pass through the center." ”
"Zhending and the river are important cities, and there must be a camp in the middle, how easy is it to pass through safely?" Hu Che'er disagreed.
