Qiu Guan rolled his eyes, and replied with a straight face: "We are not from Liao, we are from the Mu Us Desert!" ”

Tang Wufeng rolled his eyes: "Could it be that the Song army carried the boat through the Mu Us Sea?" ”

The "sea" mentioned by Tang Wufeng means the sea of sand. **Chinese Net* Superspeed Update Latest Chapters* ()

: Qiu Guan pretended not to hear this and got up to leave.

After he left, Tang Wufeng squatted down, took out a few glass bottles from the cloth bag, observed the cans in the bottle through the glass bottles, leaned slightly, and sighed: "The wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is beyond the imagination of small countries and widows such as us, look at this glass bottle, I remember that a bottle can be exchanged for a sheep, but they casually made a move is a cloth bag, look at the appearance of this officer, do not cherish it, as if these things are just weeds on the side of the road." ”

Zhang Cong nodded weakly, he also followed, picked up a can, and read: "This is Dongpo meat, this is frosted yellow peach...... I don't know if these things are ordinary Song Army food, or specially prepared for us...... Alas, what a blessing or a curse! ”

Tang Wufeng stared at the canned food, and after a while, he said abruptly: "Master Zhang doesn't know, in fact, my ancestors are also Han, our surname is Yang, and we are pure Central Plains people, and then we lost Liangzhou for a long time, so we had to change our surname to Hu...... Well, when I go back this time, I will definitely change our surname back. ”

This time it was Zhang Cong's turn to roll his eyes, and he said in his heart: "Thanks to you, your ancestors have been Hu people for dozens of generations, why did you suddenly become Han?" ”

In the command cabin, Zhao Xing looked at the route map with a gloomy expression, Lu Qiuguan pushed the door in, Zhao Xing raised his head and asked: "How is the water level?" Just now, the actual water level seems to be different from the land marked on the map? ”

: Qiu Guan's eyes widened in surprise: "How could it be?" I've personally verified the results of every survey, and I've been to this place before? ”

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment. Ordered: "Call Zhang Cong and Tang Wufeng over." ”

As soon as Tang Wufeng entered the door. Preemptively said, "My lord." Xiaguan was originally a Han Chinese. It's Han Chinese. In the Tang Dynasty, my family's surname was Yang. Later, it fell in Liangzhou. Broke off the news with the old country. had to be changed to the surname Hu. I beg your lords to stop calling me Tang Wufeng. My name is Yang Feng. Puyang people. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "It's rare that you still know Puyang...... How did Xia Guo fared last year? Is the harvest good? ”

Zhang Cong replied next: "Not good." In recent years, the fortunes of the Xia country have gradually declined. Originally, the grasslands were fertile. The grass is dense. But now winter is not a snow disaster. It's the summer drought. Grasslands are largely dry. It becomes a saline-alkali land with no grass. Droughts are frequent, and last year was a major drought. The year before last was also a major drought. In addition, there was a snowstorm in winter. ”

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "The large-scale desertification of the grassland is not the uphill and downhill road of the national fortune. And overgrazing causes land ...... Never mind. You don't understand that. ”

Zhao Xing turned to Luqiu Temple. Ask: "Did you send someone to survey last year?" ”

: Qiu Guan shook his head: "The year before last, we conducted a survey of the whole line, and later determined that Hue Fort was shallow, but last year, because the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom was looking for our traces, in order to avoid alarming them, we did not continue to send people last year. ”

Zhao Xing sighed: "One trick is the difference, all passive, have you heard, there has been a drought here for two consecutive years." ”

: Qiu Guan said tentatively: "It's spring, and it's the time when the water is at its strongest, maybe we can get through it smoothly, but it is not known." ”

Zhao Xing replied: "There is no problem with the assault boat, maybe there is no problem with the troop carrier, but my boat will definitely not be able to pass, and the material ship carrying cannon gunpowder has a deep draft, so I am afraid it will not be able to pass either." ”

: Qiu Guan hit his head in annoyance, Zhang Cong and Yang Feng were confused, and felt that the cabin was silent, Zhang Cong said tentatively: "The Hue Fort River is extremely wide, and because of this, the water there is slow, which is suitable for ferrying. The locals often cross the river in sheepskins, which is the main route for merchants to come and go, and the population is large, so if you are worried that the boat will not be able to pass, it is better to recruit people from the local area......

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It's too late, we have to pass through Hue Fort as soon as possible, but the current method, either the amount of work is too large, it takes time, and it also requires a lot of manpower, we don't have time, and we don't have manpower." ”

The officers entered the cabin and reported: "Captain, the front is about to arrive at the mouth of the Hetao." ”

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Only find a few sections of mountain beams along the way, continuously blast the towering river bank, and let the soil block the river, so as to raise the water level of Hue Fort." However, the Yellow River is so strong that this approach could lead to a diversion of the Yellow River or even a breach of the embankment downstream. ”

: Qiu Guan was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded: "Taishi, no, Bianliang City is also on the edge of the Yellow River." ”

: Qiu Guan blurted out this sentence also made Zhao Xingdi's identity finally clear, Zhang Cong and Yang Feng exchanged glances with each other, Yang Feng hurriedly said: "My lord, this official has some forces here, and can recruit some clansmen, why don't you go ashore first, and lead the clansmen to fill the river in Hue Fort and tie the embankment to raise the water level." ”

: Qiu Guan reminded softly: "The Hue Fort River is more than ten miles wide. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "With such a wide river, 10,000 people will be requisitioned for several months, and the goal may not be achieved, but I hope Wen Xixing is ready in Hue Fort." ”

Zhang Cong was taken aback and blurted out: "Wen Xixing, is it Wen Xixing, the big businessman who returned from the Western Regions?" It is rumored that he returned to his hometown from the Western Regions two years ago with more than 1,000 camels, and later settled in Hue Fort, recruited thousands of people, and built a large stackhouse in Hue Fort. ”

Zhao Xing glanced at Yang Feng and explained lightly: "There is no need to hide it now, Wen Xixing is the brother of the fifth general of Huanqing, that's right, he is a member of the party, and he was entrusted to take root in Hue Fort two years ago and do a good job for us...... Lord Yang, I appoint you as the guard of Hue Fort and the commander, you take your clan and our intelligence officer: Lord Qiu to land first, meet Wen Xixing by land, and ask him to be ready to respond. ”

Zhao Xing suddenly assigned Yang Feng because he had already planned to sell himself after understanding from Yang Feng's confession just now, and even changed his surname, which showed that this person had strengthened his confidence.

Ever since he heard Lu Qiuguan call Zhao Xing "Taishi", Yang Feng was glad that he had made a timely statement. In fact, this can't blame him for not taking a firm position, when Yang Feng expressed his position, farther north, Ma Zhi, a native of Liaodong, was also expressing his loyalty to Tong Guan. In the eyes of these aliens, the Great Song Dynasty is already a holy place in their minds, and at this time, the Great Song Dynasty has created unimaginable humanistic achievements and scientific and technological achievements, and the whole of Asia is looking up to the Great Song Dynasty.

Feng and Ma Zhi's resolute surrender is not worth making a fuss about.

The Song army warship put down the boat, close to Hue Fort, the river has been slow, the soldiers rowed the boat with oars to land, Yang Feng gathered the clansmen together, and muttered a party word, Qiu Guan observed coldly, and now Yang Feng's subordinates heard the news he announced, and they were overjoyed, and a few excited soldiers reflexively hugged the Song soldiers on their sides, and before, because of the massacre in the sea of vultures, there was still a layer of faint hostility between Yang Feng's subordinates and the Song soldiers.

"Brother, we are brothers!" The party soldier muttered in clumsy Chinese: "My surname is Yang, and I am also Han!" ”

: Qiu Guan nodded slightly.

Yang Feng did not tell his subordinates the truth, he made up a legend, claiming that this was the top secret kept by the patriarchs of the Tang Wu clan in the past dynasties, and after seeing the power of the Song army and the ruthlessness, the people on the grassland immediately identified with the identity of the master of the Song army out of respect for the strong land, knowing that they were also one of the masters, and many party soldiers had no time to distinguish the truth from the false, so they only cared about excitement.

After the reorganization of the team again, the Tang Wu subordinates rejuvenated their fighting spirit, and without being taught by the Song soldiers, they automatically sang the Song army songs they had heard in the city, and happily rushed to Hue Fort.

Hue Fort, a long cement wharf has been built on the wide river, a few lights are lit on the wharf lonely, a few idlers are still hanging out under the lamp, and after a while, a strong man in the costume of a party member hurriedly came, he waved his hand to greet the men who were wandering under the lamp, and disappeared into the darkness in a flash. Soon, a large group of people appeared outside Hue Fort, they rushed to a manor near the dock, before they approached the high wall of the manor, with a shout, the manor was brightly lit, and on the village wall, the party man was draped in a big hat, and shouted outside the wall with a gloomy face: "Whoever comes, stop!" ”

A fat man rushed out of the procession, he approached the village wall with a torch, let the torch illuminate his face, and shouted in a deep voice: "Chaolu! ”

The people on the wall of the village were overjoyed, and immediately replied loudly: "Jixing!" ”

Immediately, the people on the wall shouted: "Open the gate, open the gate immediately!" ”

The gate opened, these people unceremoniously climbed the village wall, took over the defense of the whole village, the Zhuang Ding was a little dissatisfied, but the owner of the village did not care, he ordered all the Zhuang Ding to go down the wall, together in a courtyard.

When everything in the village was stable, the owner of the village greeted the chubby man and whispered, "Lord Luqiu, has the master arrived?" I thought the original plan was just a joke, but I didn't expect you to actually come.

”

: Qiu Guan dragged a person and introduced: "Wen Observation, this is the new commander of Hue Don, Yang Feng, and he will take over the defense of Hue in the future." ”

Wen was stunned for a moment, and he grinned at Yang Feng: "Isn't this Lord Tang Wufeng, I remember that you still took away a few horses from me, what?" ……”

: Qiu Guan interrupted the other party's words: "Nonsense is about to be said, Lord Yang, this is Wen Xixing, the Qingzhou Observation Envoy of Huanqing Road, Lord Wen, how are the war horses prepared, and the materials?" ”

Wen Xixing replied: "I have only stored about 3,000 war horses after several searches, but these war horses are far less than the horses of the Nanyang Yamen, I don't understand, why do you have to put good horses and do not need them, and you have to look for war horses in the local area?" ”

Yang Feng interjected: "My subordinates are all cavalry, they don't have horses now, three thousand war horses are not enough, and more." ”

: Qiu Guan frowned and replied: "Using war ships to transport horses, each ship can only carry three or five war horses, and I am afraid that the war horses will be in turmoil, and it will be difficult to control." Dragoons needed war horses, and these three thousand were far from enough. ”

Yang Feng patted his chest: "Give it to me, give me these horses first, my subordinates have war horses, and they will get more war horses for you!" The military town near Hue Don didn't know about me yet, so I put on the official uniform of Western Xia and went directly to the nearby horse farm to lead the horse to see who dared to stop me. ”

Wen Xixing gave a thumbs up: "The Nanyang Yamen is amazing, even the Zhaowu generals of the Xia Kingdom and the Xuanwei envoys of Suzhou (Gansu) are all spies planted by you, so you can do it." ”

: Qiu Guan didn't explain, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Is your Zhuang Ding reliable?" ”

Wen Xixing replied: "There are ten people I brought over, if you command them to fight against the looting of the officials of the Xia Kingdom, I believe they dare to fight, but let them take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, I am not sure yet." ”

After a pause, Wen observed and asked, "Where is the Taishi?" Are you really here? A few days ago, there was a beacon fire from Liaojing, I thought that the Taishi was dispatched, and he sent people to guard the dock every day, why haven't you arrived yet? ”

: Qiu Guan replied: "The Xia country has been in drought for many years, and the water level in Hue has dropped so badly that our fleet has stayed outside Hue and has not dared to approach, and we have come by land. ”

Wen Xixing pointed behind him: "In the past few years, I have tried my best to buy, and there are about 100,000 stone of grain stored in the warehouse, which is enough to supply the army. There is also some cloth, and I have employed about a thousand men in the storehouse, and they are still building manors for me, and it would be even better if Yang commanded Lord Yang to come forward, and the villagers are ignorant and confused, so let them help pull the fiber, and they will definitely be able to drag the warship across the river. ”

: Qiu Guan was surprised and asked, "Didn't you ask you to build a hard road?" ”

Wen Xixing smiled: "It's too unrealistic to build a hard road in Hue, all the lime here has to be purchased from the Great Song Dynasty, and it has been transported here for thousands of miles, and the price is more expensive than I imagined, I inquired, the bottom of the Yellow River is full of mud, although the water level is shallow, but the bottom of the water is soft, as long as there are enough slender men, you can pull the boats hard." ”

Qiu Guan thought for a moment and replied: "That's fine, Taiwei is worried that the wheels of the ship are not strong, we thought that this Hue Don would damage at least a third of the ship, if it can be towed, Taiwei must be more satisfied." ”

Wen Xixing pointed to the warehouse behind him, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of cloths, all of which have been sewn into cloth bags, this is also your explanation in advance, I still don't understand, what do you want cloth bags for?" ”

: Qiu Guan unveils the mystery: "Fill the soil, and then fill the riverbed with soil bags!" ”

Yang Feng listened to the conversation between the two for a long time, and urged impatiently: "Quickly hand over the horse to me, most of our people have come to Hue, and we can't hide it from the local officials for long, so we must hurry up." ”

Wen Xixing looked at Lu Qiuguan, Lu Qiu nodded his head, and Wen Xixing waved his hand: "Come with me." ”

Yang Feng's subordinates had just finished getting on their horses, and the magistrate of Hue had already rushed to the entrance of the manor with all the officials with lanterns, and he stood outside the range of bows and arrows, shouting loudly: "Master Wenzhuang, now."

At the moment, there are so many people in your village suddenly, but where are the visitors? ”

Yang Feng urged the horse out, showed his official seal of Western Xia, and replied loudly: "General Zhaowu and Suzhou (Gansu) Xuanwei sent Tang Wufeng from the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, preparing to requisition ships to cross the river and go to the capital to report the news. ”

A servant ran over, inspected Tang Wufeng's land seal, turned around and nodded at the Hue official, the Hue official ran over with a flattering smile, and asked worriedly: "General Tang Wu is from Montenegro, I don't know what the situation is in the east?" This beacon fire has been lit for five or six days, and the news from the east has been cut off, and we and others are panicking, and if General Tang Wu does not come again, I estimate that the people from the capital will also rush to Hue. ”

The official approached Tang Wufeng's horse and asked worriedly: "Is it from Liao, is the scale of their harassment large?" ”

Tang Wufeng nodded casually: "A little harassment, don't mind." I was about to go to the capital to report, and the people on the border made a fuss and called the police by mistake, and I had already beheaded them.

No, I'm planning to transition to Jingshi to report. ”

The magistrate let out a sigh of relief and replied, "The magistrate will go to recruit the people overnight......

The magistrate of Hue was attentive, and it was only at dawn that he was courteous to send the wrong person.

At dawn the next day, the people of the levy dragged the first big boat to Hue Ferry, in front of this big ship were one hundred and ten small assault boats, the Hue Ferry official squinted his eyes, looked at the river boat in surprise, and talked to Tang Wufeng next to him in a low voice: "It's strange, what kind of ship is this, when did my Xia Kingdom make such a huge number of war ships...... Vulture Sea City ...... Ah! ”

The magistrate just wanted to ask Yang Feng if this warship was made by the Vulture Sea City, and suddenly remembered that the beacon fire from the east was gas, he felt that something was wrong, turned over and wanted to escape, Yang Feng was fast, and before he could run a few steps, he had already slashed the local magistrate with a knife.

There was a commotion on the dock, and the officials were a little overwhelmed when they saw the commander killed, and they waited for Yang Feng to explain...... By the time Zhao Xing's boat was towed to Hue, the riots in Hue had subsided, and Zhuang Ding of Wen Xixing replaced the officials to maintain order, while Yang Feng searched for young and strong people everywhere, and drove them to tow the warships while filling in the river.

Zhao Xing took a small boat, led the guards to board Hue Ferry, he glanced at the scene, several corpses fell at the scene, in order to deter the villagers, Yang Feng deliberately did not clean up the scene of the massacre, the noon sun made a lot of flies gather next to the corpse, and the local Xixia people looked at Zhao Xing who got off the boat in fear.

Zhao Xing beckoned to Yang Feng, Yang Feng walked over with a smile on his face, Zhao Xing untied the waist knife on his body, and praised Yang Feng while handing it to him: "What a fast knife, I hope you can keep it sharp for my Great Song." ”

Yang Feng was flattered, he took Zhao Xing's saber, his lips trembled and wanted to express a few words of gratitude, but Zhao Xing didn't give him a chance to speak, he turned over and untied the big coat outside, revealing the red Great Song military uniform on his body, and then he casually threw the cloak to the guards, and said loudly and heroically: "We have walked half the way, after Hue Crossing, there will be nothing to stop us in front, order the whole army to take off the disguise, we will attack the capital of Western Xia with the dignified and upright division of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yang Feng has not yet commented on Zhao Xing's behavior, and there has been an exclamation in the forcible land of Xixia Minfu, some people are panicking and don't know where to flee, but some people are rushing out of the team and kowtowing to Zhao Xing again and again: "Song army, the army of the homeland, look, I am right, our army has come to rescue us, they will come, I finally waited for this day." ”

The guards had already rushed over, pulling away a few excited people, they told those people a few words, Zhao Xing had no time to talk to those people, he just waved his hand at the people, as if he had said hello, and then turned around and asked Yang Feng: "The army passed through Hue, it will take about three days, these three days, are we safe?" ”

Yang Feng thought for a while and replied very seriously: "Tai Lieutenant, I said that we can't hide it from Hue for a day, and it is no better than my Montenegrin Weifu Military Division, my Montenegrin Weifu Military Division is just a remote place, after crossing the Yellow River, the Urad Desert in the south, and then the Mu Us Desert. Only on the north bank of the river are there some inhabitants, and the army wants to hide it, as long as it passes quickly, the people behind can't catch up, and even if there is news, it can't be transmitted.

Hue is different, the south of Hue is an excellent pasture, this is the pasture of the Ren Duo people, and then south along the river, it is the military division of Bai Ma Qiang Town, the right wing of the Wei Ming tribe. These two military divisions are different from the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, but they only serve as a reporting function, they are strong towns, and they are strong towns with 70,000 cavalry.

When the beacon fire came that day, the Tiande army should send a reporter to inform us of the Montenegrin Weifu Military Division, and my Montenegro Weifu Military Division saw the beacon fire and began to mobilize, and after receiving the news from the Tiande Army, while sending a letter to the Baimaqiang Town Military Division and the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division in the rear, they made a blockade and slowed down the Liaoren's marching speed, while the Baimaqiang Town Military Division and the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division were responsible for the formal attack.

My lord, the Tiande army did not send the news, and my Montenegro Weifu Military Division should have sent the news these days, but we did not send it, generally speaking, in such a situation, it means that the Khitans who came to attack are very strong, so that we cannot send the news, in this case, the military division of Baima Qiang Town, the right wing of the Chaoshun military division will be mobilized immediately, they will come to Hue Du, and not alone, but with a large army.

I estimate that even in the next two days, if we move quickly, we can still transport half of our soldiers through Hue, and if we move slowly, our whole army may be blocked on Hue Ferry......"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, the staff officer brought over a map, Zhao Xing compared it on this relatively accurate map, raised his head, and said: "Since the Tiande army came out, we didn't waste time, you are now in Hue, then the nearest to Hue will wait for another day, tomorrow he can't receive your news, he will send a vanguard to test, and conduct armed reconnaissance in the direction of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, and the day after tomorrow, the right wing Chaoshun Military Division will also act, but we must stay here for three days." ”

Yang Feng continued: "I am not good at playing in the water in Xia, and now it is the spring flood, and most herdsmen dare not approach the river, for fear of the spring flood, and they will be swept away by the river if they are not careful. The Yellow River is frequently diverted, and this kind of thing is also common, but Hue is different, the water flow here is open, and there are often herdsmen grazing along the river, and we are driving on the river, maybe there are herdsmen peeping in the cols in the distance, so I think the military division of Baima Qiang Town is the earliest today, the latest

I can dispatch. ”

Zhao Xing glanced back at Wen Xixing, Wen Xixing nodded: "That's right, the residents of Hue Ferry live very scattered, this is not like the strong town of the Song Realm, everyone lives next to each other, here, many people like to live in isolation, they may live twenty miles away from the wharf, some people even live in a hundred miles away from the wharf, out of the wharf, you can't even see anyone for a day."

There is no fixed road here, the villagers like to take shortcuts when walking, this piece of great plain is full of roads, I have tried my best to intercept the people of Hue Du, but this territory is too big, without three or five days of effort, I can't count the number of people at all.

That is to say, Xiaguan can't guarantee whether anyone will flee at the moment, the villagers here have horses, they ride on horses, you can't stop him on the prairie at all, you can only watch him run away, maybe someone has gone to deliver the letter now. ”

Zhao Xing swept around, just now the Song army officer appeased well, has been on the dock to unload a large amount of flour on the dock supply ship, the bag of noodles stacked one person high, the Song army officer is still there to promise, each boat dragged a few bags of noodles, this reward made Hue people glow with a high enthusiasm, after the first few boats were towed, the Song army on the spot to fulfill the promise, the slender men happily carried the allocated noodle bags aside, sat on the ground and calculated how to distribute, or someone persuaded to take advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, pull a few more times, and then distribute it uniformly, So, these Hue people called their children from home to help take care of the flour, and they reflexively pulled up the rope again.

In the middle, the young and strong laborers are pulling the fibers, while the old and weak women take the soil on the spot, put it in bags, and then throw the bags into the river to close the river. Stimulated by the Song army's heavy rewards, Hue Du, regardless of men, women, and children, was elated, forgetting that their country belonged to, and only wanted to earn a few more bags of noodles for their families to survive this period of spring famine.

Zhao Xing drew his finger on the map and asked, "Is there any higher ground ahead...... Well, the terrain is slightly higher, and it does not leave the river bank, and according to Hue, it is not too far to cross. ”

Wen Xixing thought for a while and replied: "There is one such place, but it is a little far away from Hue, about twenty miles, and that place is not big, it is just a small mound." ”

Zhao Xing turned around and said to Yang Feng without suspicion: "General Yang, the defense of Hue Ferry has been handed over to you, Wen Observation, you lead a few Zhuang Ding heads to lead the way, and I plan to set up a blocking position there." ”

Wen Xixing glanced at Zhao Xing worriedly, and Zhao Xing nodded lightly, signaling him to rest assured Yang Feng. Wen Xixing thought for a moment, here and now, the only way to let Tang Wufeng, an official of Western Xia, stay in Hue can still play a role, and the Song army went to the blocking position, and he couldn't lead the way without a familiar person, he reluctantly nodded, beckoned to call his Zhuang Ding, and left a few cronies Zhuang Ding to tell a few words, Qiu looked at Yuan Yeping, and also consciously replied: "I stay, I will stare here, Lord Yuan will go with the army." ”

When the Song army arrived at the high slope introduced by Wen Xixing, it was already twilight, Zhao Xing jumped off his horse, looked around the terrain, and immediately ordered: "Immediately use soil bags to pile up the breast wall, and three shallow ditches need to be dug outside the soil bags, the ditches do not need to be deep, but they should be ...... wide."

That night, the Song army lit the lamps to set up the position, Zhao Xing sat on the small dirt slope at the highest point of the position, wearing a coat and pretending to sleep, and soon, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves from Hue Ferry, Zhao Xing's body moved, closed his eyes and ordered: "Bring them over and see what urgent news there is?" ”

Before anyone from Hue arrived, the incense breeze arrived first, and the soldiers reminded in a low voice: "Taishi, it's Mrs. Chaolu." ”

The Tatar girl jumped off her horse with a crackling sound all the way to the horse, and she blamed dissatisfiedly: "Husband, this is not the first time I have come to Hue, I have also attacked Hue with my people before, and we Tatar women can also fight, why did you let me stay on the boat, this boat is bumpy, how can I be comfortable on horseback." ”

The boat was bumpy on horseback, Zhao Xing teased his eyes and asked, "How is the situation in Hue Ferry?" ”

After Chao Lu, an officer rushed out a report: "General Yang Feng has collected seven thousand war horses, and the dragoons are equipping their saddles and resting.

About tomorrow at noon will be the end of the rest, now the people of Hue Ferry have not rested, they are lighting torches and tugging boats overnight, there are more than 300 warships that have been towed, about one-fifth of them have passed Hue Crossing, Lord Lu Qiu said, the river bank has been filled in for a mile, and it has been pushed forward by about ten feet, and by tomorrow, it will be about ten feet further, and the water level can be raised by about half a meter, so that many of our small boats can make the transition. ”

The Tangut people named Hue Ferry there, not that there can be a boat transition, the Tangut people are not good at manipulating boats, Hue Ferry this place can be ferried by sheepskin raft in the spring flood era, and after the spring flood, the Tangut people only need to ride a horse to cross the river, so its water level is shallow can be imagined.

Zhao Xing nodded: "I only have the Qinglong Army here, the strength is too thin, let the Vermilion Bird Army also get off the ship, after they get off the ship, the draft of the ship will be reduced a lot, and most of the ships can transition smoothly, so they should mainly focus on those few big ships, and they must drag the big ships over." ”

The soldiers nodded in agreement, and reflexively ran down the high slope and rode away. Chaolu saw that Zhao Xing didn't say hello, she was not polite, turned around and took three spears and two scimitars from her horse, and then borrowed a felt blanket from the soldier, and fell asleep at Zhao Xing's feet.

It was dawn, Chaolu was caused by the smell of breakfast to rumble in her stomach, she woke up with her eyes, the camp was full of smoke, the helmet was burning on the small kerosene stove, the helmet was broth, the diligent soldiers had begun to eat with the broth, and Zhao Xing squatted beside a few soldiers who were cooking breakfast for him.

Chaolu jumped up and looked into the distance, she pointed to the horizon and said, "Oops, the enemy is coming." Look at the smoke and dust, the Xia army is about 30,000 horses. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "I know, they seem to have just left the camp, and it was about noon when they arrived at us." ”

Chao Lu shook his head: "At least in the afternoon, the Western Xia military system, you have to march for an hour in the morning to bury the pot and cook, but their meals are relatively simple, not as luxurious as your army." ”

The soldiers brought a bowl of water, Yellow River water, a bowl of water and half a bowl of mud, the water was very turbid, Zhao Xing frowned, reluctantly drank this bowl of water, Chaolu looked at Zhao Xing in surprise, and said, "You can actually drink such water?" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, 8.) More chapters, support**Chinese network*! )
