Chapter 118: Flying across the river
A terrible whistling wind came from mid-air. A fist-sized stone slammed into the position of the last pontoon bridge in the center.
Originally, a stone of this size could only smash the planks laid on the ship at most, and make a hole in the boat below, so as not to smash the entire pontoon, but this stone happened to hit the position of the combination between the two pontoons, and the two bridges were actually nailed together in a hurry by a two-foot-long plank, and this time they were smashed squarely.
I only heard the sound of "Peng", and the plank shattered. And the last section of the pontoon bridge suddenly floated horizontally, and was swept away by the waves when a boulder fell into the water around it, and in the blink of an eye, it was pushed more than a dozen steps away, and the ninth section of the pontoon bridge to the opposite shore was completely vacant more than 20 steps!
Mai Mengcai just rushed to about half of the ninth section of the pontoon bridge at this time, and the road ahead was originally smooth, but suddenly a large vacancy appeared, and the river in front of him. In addition to the dead people, there were still dead people, and the opposite riverbank that was originally within reach was so far away all of a sudden.
At this time, both sides of the enemy, hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes, at this time are focused on Mai Mengcai's body, he flies out every step has seven or eight steps, not running at all, but similar to the triple jump in later generations, the moment the pontoon bridge in front of him is broken, he just stepped to the bridge head of the ninth pontoon, landing this time, should be about one-third of the bridge, with the speed of the pontoon bridge in front of him, it is completely possible to close the momentum of the forward rush after this time, and stop before the broken bridge, Then turn around and withdraw.
Mai Mengcai's stomp on the ninth pontoon bridge was heavy, and his figure flew forward at full speed, without the slightest intention of stopping. Xu Shiji, who was watching the battle from a distance, changed his face and blurted out: "It's not good, the enemy general is going to fly over!" ”
Mai Mengcai's mournful roar came along the distant river wind, and even the Wei army on the river bank in the distance could hear it clearly: "The sons of the Great Sui, rush with me!" ”
His second step stepped heavily on the wooden plank of the pontoon, and the people were like meteors, shooting forward, without a trace of slowing down, and the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, who had unconsciously retracted their footsteps with the break of the pontoon bridge in front of them, saw Mai Mengcai's full force rushing forward, and they all regained their courage and shouted and sprinted forward with all their might.
A trace of consternation appeared on Shen Luoyan's face, and the muscles of her face were throbbing, and she said, "This, is this person crazy?" If the bridge is broken, you have to rush! ”
The corners of Xu Shiji's mouth hooked, and he praised: "True Tiger General!" Such an opponent is worthy of respect, and only such a tiger general can turn the tide in a desperate situation and stir up the original situation into a variable! . Saying that, Xu Shiji turned his head to the herald and said: "Herald, after the Sui army crosses the river, twenty rounds of bows and arrows will attack sharply, and then the cavalry will prepare to charge!" The catapult now shortens the distance for me, and hits the riverbank all along the riverbank! ”
Mai Mengcai's third jump landed at the end of the pontoon, less than two feet away from the breaking point, this time he used all his strength, the entire ninth section of the pontoon bridge for him to step on the front end of the sinking fiercely, even the rear end and the eighth section of the bridge nailed plank to almost break up, and with this fierce forward rush, his body is like a big bird, flying straight forward, drawing a graceful arc, flying out of a shocking step, about to enter the river.
Everyone thought that Mai Mengcai would fly into the river at this time, and even Yang Guang was secretly thinking in his heart, about ten steps from the shore, the depth of the water was about waist-deep, as long as he stood in the river, he could still walk or walk to the shore, but these small stones flying all over the sky were really annoying, and now they looked like they were all smashing the riverbank, but he was afraid that after the wheat iron rod fell into the river, it would be smashed very badly.
To everyone's surprise, Mai Mengcai was about to enter the water at this moment, when he suddenly roared, and the iron rod stretched out downwards at once, Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Wonderful!" ”
The crescent-shaped iron cane head was heavily inserted into the bottom of the river, and Mai Mengcai's body took advantage of this support to bounce to the riverbank ten steps away, like a pole vaulter, while loosening the iron rod, his body also fell steadily to the opposite riverbank, three steps away, standing firmly!
"Wind! Wind! Wind! ”
"Great Sui! Great Sui! Great Sui! ”
As Mai Mengcai's figure stood on the shore of the east bank, the morale of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army was greatly boosted, and everyone rushed forward as if they had been stimulated.
Yang Guang clapped his hands fiercely, at this moment, such a heroic feat is too needed to boost morale, as long as someone can rush to the land on the east bank, it will bring more confidence to the soldiers who will continue to attack behind, let everyone see hope, brave the rain of arrows and arrows, and launch round after round of attacks along the pontoon bridge of death!
Mai Mengcai lost the weapon in his hand in the cane jump just now, and became defenseless at this time, the arrows and small stones of the Wei army poured down on the river bank like raindrops, and a feather arrow with a whistling wind sounded and grazed the calf of Mai Tiecane, and with a "hiss", a three-inch long and half-inch-deep hole was cut, the skin and flesh turned out, and the blood flowed out of this mouth at once.
Mai Mengcai rolled on the spot, and the cold and hard pebbles on the bank of the river cut a bloody hole on his exposed arms and calves, which made Yang Guang, who was a few miles away, feel worried for a while, but he didn't care, rolled all the way, until he reached the side of more than a dozen corpses that had been covered with feather arrows, and when he got up again, he had already picked up two shields in his hands. The Sui troops on both sides of the strait burst into a burst of deafening cheers when they saw that the main general had successfully gone to danger in person.
Soon, dozens of bold people, holding shields that had been shot to a thousand holes and full of feather arrows, ran to Mai Mengcai's side, erecting a solid world for Mai Mengcai.
Qian Jie, who was the first to cross the river, had six or seven feather arrows inserted in his body, if it weren't for this iron armor and big shield, he would have already died, and when he saw Mai Mengcai landing on the shore, he shouted: "General! ”
Mai Mengcai's tiger eyes were full of tears, nodded vigorously, and said, "Everyone hold on!" More and more people have landed on our shores, and we will definitely be able to break through the camp of Goguryeo! He looked around, looking at nearly two thousand corpses that had been shot so that he couldn't even see his face clearly, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who had been sprinkled all over the river beach, two lines of tears flowed from Mai Mengcai's eyes, and shouted: "The deaths of the brothers are all worth it, just to avenge them, we must also break through the defense line of this Wei army!" ”
