Chapter 1119: Crossing the River

The three scouts turned to leave, and when they left, they did not forget to thank the old man, and turned to a place where the old man in front could not see, and then they parted ways, one rushed back to report, and the other two made a detour to continue to check if there was a Song army.

The girl by the river saw that the person had disappeared, so she turned around and grinned: "Grandpa, your southern Shaanxi dialect is true, is your hometown here?" ”

The old man is none other than the noble uncle who was brought out of Suzhou by Xu Zizhen, and the girl is the little demon king Hao Yatou of Suzhou Taihu Lake Water Village.

Uncle Gui smiled: "Before I became a servant, I was a wandering man, running around all over the world, speaking some dialects is still a piece of cake, which is like Xu Zizhen's kid, I heard that Japanese and Goryeo can speak, that is a freak." ”

Hao Yatou was obviously still not very friendly to Xu Zizhen, and wrinkled her nose and said, "That's it, freak!" ”

Uncle Gui smiled again, glanced at the direction in which the three scouts went back, and said, "The golden dog is estimated to be almost here, let's wait...... It's been a warm day. ”

Before noon, the smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance, and the team of men and horses galloped over, and there was no flag in the formation, just looking at the color of the clothes, it was the Jin soldiers who came, Uncle Gui and Hao Yatou glanced at each other, nodded lightly, and then pretended to look at those Jin soldiers with a frightened face.

Soon, Jin Bing has come to the front, seeing that the number of people is only more than 1,000 people, the leader of the Jin General is not very old, with a square face and a wide mouth and sharp edges, but there is a bit of majesty, this is the Wushu clan brother Wanyan Zongxiao.

A few Jin soldiers came to the river first, and impatiently drove away Uncle Gui and said, "Irrelevant go quickly." ”

Uncle Gui hurriedly lifted the fishing rod and basket in a panic, took Hao Yatou's hand and left, but was stopped by Zong Huang just after taking two steps.

"Slow down."

Uncle Gui stopped again, didn't dare to step forward, bowed down and said, "What does the general command?" ”

Zong Huang glanced at him and Hao Yatou, in his opinion, this old man is not young, and he does not have calluses on his hands to hold weapons, it does not look like a Song Jun meticulous work, as for the girl, it is even less like, she looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, her little face is good, but her skin is plenish, and when she sees herself asking, she hides behind the old man, and she looks like a timid and uninformed villager.

He and Wushu are a bit similar in temperament, and they are both quite cautious, so he wanted to confirm it, and asked gently, "Uncle, do you live around here?" ”

Uncle Gui replied with a smile: "Exactly." ”

Zong Huang also had a smile on his face, and said kindly: "I'm a little thirsty on the way, I don't know if I can go to my father-in-law's house to ask for a bowl of water to drink?" ”

Uncle Gui looked shocked and didn't dare to refuse, and after being stunned for a while, he said, "It's easy to say, the general, please come with me." After speaking, he led the way with his hand.

Not far from the north side of the river bank is a continuous mountain peak, not far away, Uncle Gui took Zong Huang to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, opened the door, Zong Huang seemed to glance at random, and found that there were two rooms and a hall, the house was quite dilapidated but very clean, and there were mattresses in each room, just like the two grandchildren lived.

Zong Huang relieved his mind at this time, confirmed that this old and young man was not meticulous, drank a bowl of water handed by Uncle Gui at will, walked back, paused before leaving, and ordered: "Don't go fishing today, my army will stay here for a while." ”

Uncle Gui hurriedly didn't say yes, and after Zong Huang left, he quickly closed the gate, looking like he was extremely scared, Zong Huang became more and more suspicious, returned to the front of the army and looked at the wide river, with a wave of his hand, more than a thousand golden soldiers behind him suddenly moved, and went to the hillside, where there were patches of forests, ready to cut wood and cross the river.

Fengshadu is located at the confluence of several tributaries, the terrain is open, except for a mountain range in the north, the other two sides are a flat river, in front of the wide river, you can see the same openness on the opposite bank in the distance, it is an excellent place for the army to cross the river.

More than 1,000 well-trained elite soldiers moved quickly, and the dense forests on the hillside were lowered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into timber of uniform thickness and being moved to the river, and there was smoke and dust in the distance, it was the remaining golden soldiers brought by Zong Huang, a total of about 19,000 people, but they stayed far away and did not come forward, so as not to be too crowded and unable to work.

Only about two hours, the wood by the river has been piled up, at this time the flag officer waved the small flag in his hand, the original logging more than 1,000 people retreated, replaced by two or three thousand people over, the wood into a raft, a waist thick wood in the cup thick rope winding soon turned into a stable raft, Zong Huang came over to look around a few times, and personally stepped on a few times, before nodding.

The river here is very wide, and for the sake of safety, it is always as stable as possible, if it is not to cross the river to seize the opportunity to buy time, Zong Huang will not think that this raft is strong enough.

The sun has gradually set from the middle of the sky to the west, and it will be dusk in a short time, and the raft has been prepared a lot, and the bank of this section of the river has almost been paved, Zong Huang looked at the sky, and without hesitation, he ordered the river to be crossed, and the flag was waved, and the army in the distance began to gather in this direction.

Zong Huang looked back at the courtyard he had been to just now, the raft had been made up and Song Jun had not yet appeared, it seemed that the old man was not talking nonsense, since the matter was done, there was no need to stay alive.

He motioned to the guards beside him, and several people immediately understood and went towards the courtyard, but soon came back, saying that the old man and the girl were gone.

It's gone? Zong Huang was taken aback, and subconsciously noticed that something was wrong, that small courtyard had always been in his sight, how could it be that the two big living people disappeared when they said they couldn't see it? Could it be that they were really meticulous, or did they sneak out to report to Song Jun?

Fengshadu is wide, but it is relatively remote in the surrounding area, and this belongs to the area between the two armies, and it is impossible for the Song army to be garrisoned, so unless someone deliberately reports the news, it is impossible for the Song army to arrive in this small half-day effort of logging.

Zong Huang was frightened, and he didn't care to find out where the two people went, so he hurriedly ordered to urge the army to cross the river quickly, so the people shouted that the horses neighed and suddenly made a noise, and the battle of 20,000 horses crossing the river was amazingly large, but the 20,000 people led by Zong Huang were all elite soldiers who were left by the Wushu, and their action was very good.

The sunset fell on the top of the mountain in the distance, reflecting the entire river water as if dyed a whole blood-red, Zong Xiao's face was calm, but his heart was tight, he had a very bad premonition, but what was wrong, he couldn't say for a while.

Suddenly, Zong Huang noticed a slight vibration under his feet, he raised his head sharply to look into the distance, but he saw nothing, but he was very sure that he was not wrong, because the vibration had gradually intensified, and even the rumbling sound could be heard more and more clearly in his ears.

"Hurry, hurry, speed up!" Zong Xiao's face had changed drastically, he turned over and grabbed a raft, and just as he boarded the raft, a cloud of smoke and dust finally appeared in the distance, rolling towards this side overwhelmingly.
