Chapter 226: Fishing
The next day, the sky gradually brightened, the sky was white, the morning light was faint, and the sun that was about to enter winter was warm and faintly damp. The plants in the mountains and forests condensed cool dewdrops, the air was fragrant with plants and trees, and the birds chirped in the depths of the jungle, deep and far, more quiet and ethereal.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, early in the morning, the Ming army's position began to make a commotion, and several general soldiers gave an order, they are going to pull out the camp today.
Many people are stunned, is it rare to cross the river? That's right! They wanted to cross the river, but not to the west, but to the north, crossing the tributaries of the Blocked River, Lu Jiude, Chen Hongfan and others and Qin Yiming could not agree on the same opinion, and finally, Lu Jiude and others decided to camp separately, and the coalition of the Ming army was officially split. Originally, Lu Jiude has suffered a lot of losses recently, and he took this opportunity to break up the family, Qin Yiming is just a general soldier, there is no need for everyone to listen to him!
The general soldiers felt that they were separated from Qin Yiming, and they could better fight for credit, but the soldiers under their hands had a different idea, they felt that without Qin Yiming's elite troops, their safety was no longer guaranteed, and many of them were afraid of Zhang Xianzhong.
However, the general army said that those who should pull out the camp still had to pull out the camp, and the 100,000-strong army, 60,000 at once, they crossed the tributary of the Blocked River and camped thirty miles on the other side of the river.
After leaving Qin Yiming, Lu Jiude regarded himself as the boss, and he summoned Zuo Liangyu, Chen Hongfan and other general soldiers to hold a meeting in his big tent.
"Everyone, now we are camped separately from General Qin, but we still have an army of 60,000, and the opposite side is just some thieves with hoes, who are not vulnerable at all, as long as we successfully cross the river, the victory will definitely be ours, and everyone will share the credit at that time."
"What Lu Jianjun said is that we are 60,000 elites, how can those rabble resist, Lu Jianjun said, what should we do next?" Chen Yuanjie patted his ass.
Lu Jiude looked at Chen Hongfan and Zuo Liangyu and asked, "General Soldier Zuo, you are a general who has been famous for a long time, and now that Zhang Thief is on the other side of the river, General Soldier Zuo thinks we should cross the river?" ”
Zuo Liangyu was still pondering, Zhang Xianzhong was his old opponent, this person was cunning and changeable, and his prestige among the thieves was very high, and it was probably not easy to cross the river easily.
"I'm afraid it's not so easy to cross the river!"
Chen Hongfan said disappreciatively: "General Soldier Zuo, is it so difficult, I think we will first use iron chains to repair three pontoon bridges, and then take advantage of the night to force the crossing!" ”
"No! If we have 60,000 people and cross the river by three bridges, that is equivalent to death! Thief Zhang is not a fool, he will not watch us cross the river! Liu Liangzuo objected.
Chen Hongfan looked disdainful and said, "Hmph, if you hadn't listened to the old man's persuasion at the beginning, how could there have been the defeat of the Yang Secret, and why are you so timid today!" ”
"It was because I was deceived that I knew that I should be cautious!"
"Hmph, three bridges are enough, as long as we send the elite across the river first, hold the position, and the follow-up troops follow, are you still afraid of Zhang Xianzhong's thieves when the time comes?"
"But ......"
Lu Jiude said impatiently: "Okay, don't fight, you can't fight for it, the battle hasn't been fought yet, I quarreled first, it's quiet, Zuo Zongbing, what do you think?" ”
Zuo Liangyu touched the beard on his chin and said: "Whether you can cross the river or not, the key depends on whether the troops who cross the river first can hold their positions, so that the follow-up soldiers can cross the river, I think we can divide the troops into two ways, one is to gather everyone's cavalry, cross the river from the upstream, and harass after going around to the Zhang thief's team to distract Zhang Thief's attention; At the same time, the other way crosses the river from the bridge, so that nothing goes wrong! ”
"It makes sense, our family agrees with the strategy of General Left." Lu Jiude was the first to agree, it had nothing to do with anything else, but Zuo Liangyu's prestige was too strong, and it was always right to listen to the general.
"I'm for it!"
"I'm for it too!"
The other adjutant generals of the general army expressed their positions one after another, and they all felt that Zuo Liangyu's method was feasible.
Seeing that no one objected, Lu Jiude said to everyone: "Since everyone agrees, then we will follow the method of General Zuo, and in three days, we will cross the river to grab the credit!" ”
"Good! Grab the credit! There was a burst of blood boiling in the big tent, as if a great merit was about to fall on their heads.
Ma Fengyi pestered Qin Yiming, always sticking a hot face to a cold ass, Qin Yiming was also very busy, and he didn't have time to take care of her at all, but it was Zuo Mengeng, who was always accommodating to her in every way and flattering her in every way. When she felt bored, she followed Zuo Mengeng to play around.
Zuo Mengeng is preparing to let the horses get on the boat, these days, he has been training these horses according to Song Xiance's method, until these horses are on the boat, he no longer dares to get off the boat, even if someone is leading, these horses do not dare to get off the boat, this is the result of training. Today, he's going fishing, and the bait is these horses!
"Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"Okay, get on board!"
Zuo Mengeng commanded everyone to start moving, and was busy, Ma Fengyi suddenly rushed over and said, "Zuo Gongzi, it's so fun, I'm going too!" ”
"This ...... Horse girl, this is very dangerous! I don't want Miss Ma to be in any danger! Zuo Mengeng said worriedly, he was really worried about Ma Fengyi's safety, although he was ready, but what if it happened?
Ma Fengyi muttered and said, "Cut, if you don't frighten Zuo Gongzi, I think it's more dangerous for you to go!" Do you want me to go, if you don't let me go, I won't play with you in the future, hum! ”
Zuo Mengeng had no choice, he couldn't beat Ma Fengyi, so he had to nod.
More than a dozen civilian boats began to drift towards the other side of the river, there were strong and sturdy horses on the boats, as well as deserters in tattered clothes, these days, there have been people from the co-camp who have escaped, and they have been repeatedly banned, no matter how preferential treatment Qin Yiming gives them, it will not help, after all, the families of these people are on the other side of the river, how can they not run away, how can they not want to reunite with their families.
When he was still about 200 paces from the west bank, the thieves on the opposite bank discovered the situation on the river. These days they are commonplace, from time to time people flee from the other side, at first at night smuggling, but at night after all, after all, after all, there are dangerous people, so occasionally there are people who sneak across the river during the day.
"Look, there are a dozen or so horses!"
"Really, there are really horses, wow, these brothers have stolen horses and come back, it's amazing!"
"yes, some tall stallions, brothers, ready to pick them up."
As soon as they saw the horses in the boat, the thieves gathered around them excitedly as if they were crazy, and waited early by the river.
When the boats approached the river, many people began to go down the river to pull boats and grab horses!
Zuo Mengeng was on the last boat, he saw that many thieves had already gone into the water, and some of them were already pulling the reins of the horses, but something unexpected happened to the thieves, these horses seemed to be very resistant, no matter how they pulled, the horses just refused to get off the boat.
"It's strange, what's the matter with this horse, why don't you listen to the call, brothers, come on, help bring this horse down, this is a great merit!"
Zuo Mengeng felt that the time had come, and was waiting for the order, at this time, an arrow, with a whoosh, pierced the thief's eyebrows, and the thief immediately arrived on the water, and the blood flowed.
The sudden change made everyone dumbfounded, the thief was stunned for a while, and when he woke up, someone suddenly shouted, "There is an ambush, these people are not our people, kill them!" ”
Bang bang bang.
The people on the boat began to shoot with guns, those who were dressed in tatters, they were not from the co-slave battalion, they were the bird-bearers of the firearms battalion!
Bang bang bang.
There was a burst of indiscriminate shooting, and the thieves in the vicinity soon killed and injured more than a dozen people, and those who had been thinking of boarding the ship also gave up this idea at this time and began to run to the shore.
Ma Fengyi stood up straight, her eyes were like electricity, her hands moved quickly, she shot arrows with a bow, almost every arrow hit the thief, and one arrow died, the thief was frightened, and the thief's ass was urinated.
"Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen...... Arrows, my arrows, no arrows! Ma Fengyi looked at the shore and shouted.
"Arrows, there are arrows here!"
The arrow was sent to Ma Fengyi's hand, and Ma Fengyi began to shoot again.
Zuo Mengeng held the quiver, looking at Ma Fengyi's heroic appearance, he was obsessed with it, those miserable and pitiful thieves, of course, did not deserve his sympathy, but it was this Ma Fengyi who deeply attracted his attention.
She, dancing alone, dances proudly and majesticly. As soon as the long arrow came out, the cold light was clear; Draw the bow and arrow, heroic and cool.
That pride, that heroic, that aggressive heroism, iron armor, red pants, she stood on the boat with a woman's head and moth eyebrows, graceful posture, and a man's jade tree in the wind, and the air was magnificent.
With eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars, she looks heroic, extraordinary, and murderous in her eyes, but she looks clean and simple.
There are many corpses of thieves floating on the river, the blood is red, after losing hundreds of corpses, the thieves have fled, Zuo Mengeng is excited, this is the first victory in his life, he wants to chant poetry to express his feelings.
But before Zuo Mengeng could show it, Ma Fengyi yelled: "Quick, retreat!" ”
Zuo Mengeng was puzzled: "Miss Ma, the thief army has been driven away, why do you want to retreat!" ”
"Don't stay here for a long time, when the thieves' archers come, we'll be in big trouble, run away!"
Zuo Mengeng nodded, at this time, there were really a lot of people rushing over on the shore, Zuo Mengeng was in a hurry, and said, "Hurry up, go back to the camp!" ”
Zuo Mengeng went out on a mission, Chen Zhibang didn't know at all, he didn't see Zuo Mengeng for most of the day, and he couldn't find it anywhere, and after asking, he knew that Zuo Mengeng actually went to the other side of the river in person, Chen Zhibang was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body and looked forward to the river.
"The Major General is back, the Major General is back!"
Chen Zhibang was so excited that tears were about to flow out.
"Vice General Chen, why are you here, Vice General Chen, haven't you seen it, we have won a big victory, we have won a big victory!" For the first time in Zuo Mengeng's life, he was extremely excited.
Qin Yiming watched everything by the river not far away, and Song Xiance said in a rambling voice: "Qin Mangfu, this is Zuo Liangyu's only son, let him go out to do errands, in case something happens, aren't you afraid that Zuo Liangyu will eat you?" ”
"Huh, an accident? This kid has a long life! ”
