Chapter 401: Dare to Love and Hate Huang Yueying
If it weren't for Fu Lin's detailed understanding of the maps and terrain of various places in the Han Dynasty, Fu Lin would have run out of donkey skills today.
So, more than fifty men, in an instant, quickened their march, and they continued to the east, but to-night was destined to be an eventful night.
Tart tart tart!
When Fu Lin and the others had just driven a distance to the east, the sound of horses came from the rear again, which were also the only two war horses under Fu Lin, plus the war horses that Huang Yueying gave to Fu Lin, Fu Lin now only has a total of three war horses.
One of the war horses, Fu Lin gave it to the two daughters of Xiao Qiao to ride, and the remaining two war horses, Fu Lin gave them to the scouts who were pressing back and exploring the way.
"My lord, our scout, there must be some news." Dian Wei saw that the scout was back at this time, and he also came to Fu Lin's side and said.
"Well, let him come and talk." Fu Lin said. "No!" After Dian Wei responded, he passed Fu Lin's order.
There is not much time, a scout who is dusty and sweaty, the one who said, don't you say that Fu Lin's personal guards are all elite, how to sweat when you explore the road, this is your mistake, if you have also experienced this kind of high-tension, high-physical exercise, you will faint.
Scout, this class is not so easy to do, it can be said that a qualified scout, but also the most elite soldier in the army, he can even be comparable to the personal guards in this army, unless this army is a weak brigade, and their leader is a waste.
I saw that this scout came to Fu Lin's approach, and he immediately turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Lord Qiqi, there is a woman in the back, she wants to see you, she said her name is Huang Yueying." ”
"What? Why is Yueying here, let her come over. Fu Lin said, don't look at Fu Lin just met Huang Yueying not long ago, but Fu Lin already has a general understanding of Huang Yueying's personality, character and ability.
Therefore, Fu Lin thought that Huang Yueying must have her reason for coming to him at this time, so Fu Lin did not make a mistake, and Fu Lin immediately asked the guards to pass the word.
Tart tart tart!
It didn't take long for Fu Lin to hear the sound of horses running, Fu Lin looked up and saw a shadow coming on horseback, it was none other than Huang Yueying who Fu Lin saved today, I didn't expect this woman to be so brave, she actually chased Fu Lin privately.
"Yueying, why are you here, what's going on?" Fu Lin saw that Huang Yueying's face was anxious, and he hurriedly grabbed the reins of Huang Yueying's horse and said.
"Brother Lin, I found you later, are you okay, I'm worried about death." Huang Yueying saw that Fu Lin was safe and sound, and she also dismounted with a smile and said.
"I'm fine." Fu Lin saw Huang Yueying stunned, and he also reached out to help Huang Yueying, and said.
Huang Yueying asked Fu Lin to hold on to her face, and after a while, Huang Yueying returned to normal, she hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, the big thing is not good, now Ding Feng led a thousand Jiangdong soldiers to chase out of the east gate, originally Liu Biao didn't want to get involved, but the matter was in the hands of Liu Cong and Cai's family, Liu Biao was persuaded by the two of them, and now Liu Cong also sent troops to surround Brother Lin, Brother Lin come with me, I have a ship in Xiangyang, I can send Brother Lin north." ”
The two of them said a few more intimate words, but now is not the time for children to grow up, so Fu Lin ordered that everyone should hurry, and everyone was led by Huang Yueying, although Huang Yueying's physical strength was not good, but fortunately, she had horses, so there were more than fifty people, and there was no decrease in speed.
From another point of view, thanks to Ding Feng, they are all infantry troops, Liu Biao is a leisurely and indecisive person, and by the time he sent out the cavalry, it was already too late, besides, the cavalry in Jingzhou was only a few hundred people, and they all lacked training.
This, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, are best at the water army, but now they are not considered elite soldiers, the book is back to the text, with Huang Yueying's lead, Fu Lin is much more convenient for them, Fu Lin is familiar with the map, and there is no Huang Yueying, who has lived in Xiangyang since childhood, is familiar with here.
"Brother Lin, come up!" Huang Yueying saw that her brother Lin was actually running in front of her horse, and she also felt embarrassed.
We have said more than once that Fu Lin is a more realistic, brainy, decisive man, and a man who is not lewd, so Fu Lin did not pretend to be a decent gentleman, and he didn't get on Xiao Qiao's horse just now, it was really because a war horse couldn't move three people.
I saw that Fu Lin got on Huang Yueying's horse as soon as he turned over, Fu Lin reached out and passed under Huang Yueying's armpit, hugged Huang Yueying, and he also took the reins of the horse from Huang Yueying's jade hand.
Huang Yueying is a beautiful lady after all, and has not yet started a family, in this feudal era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the defense of men and women in the Han Dynasty is not as perverted as the Song Dynasty, it is not possible to come to everything casually.
Seeing that Huang Yueying's face turned red instantly, Fu Lin knew that she was embarrassed and shy, and Fu Lin didn't laugh at her, only to see Fu Lin bow his head and whisper in Huang Yueying's ear: "Yueying, how far can we get there?" ”
Fu Lin's natural question somewhat resolved Huang Yueying's embarrassment, but Fu Lin didn't know that Xiao Qiao's eyes could kill people at this time, although Da Qiao was not as sour as Xiao Qiao, but she also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
I heard Huang Yueying stumble and say, "Brother Lin...... Brother Lin, let's go ten miles to the northeast to the ferry, where there is a pair of Mengchong from our Huang family. When the time comes, we can take a boat and head north. ”
Speaking of this, we also have to briefly introduce the types and functions of warships in the water war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there are two kinds of ships in this period, one is a civilian ship, the other is a military ship, most of the civilian ones are fishing boats and transportation, and there are many types of military ships.
Ships were used for many purposes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the south, and ships were often used to travel between vassal states, and there are records of warships. The warships of the Wu Navy were the most famous at that time, including "Yu Huang", "Three Wings", "Sudden Attack", "Lou Boat", "Bridge Boat" and other ships.
"Emperor Yu" is a large warship on which the princes ride, and serves as the command flagship in wartime. According to ancient records, the bow of the ship is painted with a bird's pattern, and it has excellent sailing performance. The main warships of the navy are the three wings, namely the large wing, the middle wing, and the small wing. Among them, the large wing is 10 zhang long and 1.5 zhang wide, which can carry more than 90 soldiers and soldiers, and has a high sailing speed. It was with these warships that Wu defeated Chu and Yue in the Han River and Taihu Lake. Later, Gou Jian tried his courage, and the warships of the Yue Kingdom when he destroyed Wu had grown to as many as 300.
From the 16th century BC to the 11th century BC, the Shang Dynasty in China used boats as a means of transportation for the army. By the middle of the 6th century BC at the latest, the vassal states of Wu and Chu in China had already seen the emergence of boat divisions (naval units) and warships. At that time, the warships in Wu Guozhou's division included large wings, middle wings, small wings, sudden ships, building ships, bridge ships and other types of ships, and there were large ships such as "Yu Huang", just like the flagship of the modern navy; There was also a special water warfare tool called "hook rejection" (also known as "hook strength"). During the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC to 25 AD), Chinese warships were further developed, and their performance gradually caught up with and surpassed that of the Mediterranean countries at that time, and remained so until the middle of the 15th century. The Chinese warships of the 15th century were the largest, strongest and most seaworthy ships in the world. It is characterized by a sturdy hull structure (connected by iron nails) and maneuverable flexibility.
