Chapter Twenty-Five: Zhao Chen's Big Trouble Is Coming!
The Liao River brings together many rivers, and now it is the flood season in July and August, so the entire Liao River is turbulent, and the river has widened the entire river a lot.
And this is precisely what made Cheng Chumo and his party, a fleet of hundreds of ships, on the wide Liao River, smooth sailing, and gradually moved away from the Ma Lishui in sight.
Gao Yanshou's army was left far behind, and when he looked through the binoculars, he saw Gao Yanshou angrily waving the knife in his hand, yelling at the fleet that was far away.
"Damn, it's home!" The Goguryeo people couldn't catch up with them, Cheng Chumo looked at the way Gao Yanshou roared angrily in the distance, his mood couldn't be better, and when he put down the binoculars, he laughed loudly at the people on the boat.
From Shuizhai, after entering Goguryeo, they have been hanging their hearts along the way, for fear that something will happen in the middle, resulting in this mission, which cannot be successfully completed.
For seven or eight days, Cheng Chumo didn't sleep well, and it wasn't until this time that he successfully destroyed the Jingguan and collected the bones of the fallen soldiers of the previous dynasty, and his mood suddenly relaxed.
The Liao River leads directly to the sea, and they don't need to stop at all, and because of the flood season, the Liao River is wider than before, so they can go straight to the sea all the way.
The Goguryeo people have nothing to do with them, even now, there are hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people on the shore, they can only watch them and gradually disappear from their eyes.
If you want to intercept them on the Liao River, this is simply a fool's dream!
Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, on the ship, the soldiers who were still a little worried suddenly relaxed the expressions on their faces, and then, as if they had suddenly let go of the ban, they stood on the deck and shouted loudly.
During this time, they were always scared, for fear that if they said something out loud, they would alarm the Goguryeo people, so these days, everyone kept their mouths shut, and when they couldn't speak, they didn't even say a word for a day.
And now, their task has been successfully completed, and there is no need to suppress their emotions and communicate silently with gestures like a mute.
At this time, it was already evening, the fleet was sailing fast on the wide Liao River, and the sunset was softly sprinkled on the Liao River, even if it was far away, you could hear the cheers from the Liao River.
It's just that later, under the leadership of Cheng Chumo, this cheer turned into a thick and desolate Guanzhong song, which came from the Liao River in the distance, and gradually, it melted into the night.
It was the middle of August, when the night completely fell, a huge full moon appeared in the night sky, hanging high in the sky, and when the moonlight sprinkled, all the surrounding scenery was reflected clearly.
At this time, the fleet was still sailing rapidly on the Liao River, and the desolate chorus had long since disappeared, replaced by the uniform snoring of the soldiers.
Since I arrived at Maqishui last night, it has been a day and a night, and a Beijing temple has been hollowed out in the middle, so the soldiers at this time have already become extremely tired.
And just when most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, Cheng Chumo at this time was lying on the deck, looking at the full moon overhead.
I don't know what I'm thinking, through the moonlight above my head, I saw Cheng Chumo's eyes with a smile, but after a while, the eyes looking at the full moon slowly closed.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning, when Cheng Chumo was still asleep, he vaguely heard that the soldiers on the deck were shouting there.
There was a whistle, there was a sound of laughter, and when I opened my eyes in confusion, I saw that almost all the soldiers on the deck at this time were facing the shore, as if they had seen something funny, and kept pointing and pointing.
frowned slightly, turned over and sat up in confusion, his eyes couldn't help it, and when he looked at the shore with the gaze of the soldiers, the look on Cheng Chumo's face couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
At this time, following Cheng Chumo's gaze, when he looked at the shore, he saw more than 10,000 Goguryeo people on the right bank, galloping along the Liao River, chasing them closely.
"How is that possible?" Seeing the Goguryeo people on the shore, Cheng Chumo suddenly turned over and stood up, looking at the shore in shock, those were obviously the Goguryeo people who were thrown by them in Maqishui last night, Deng Shi said in surprise.
They set off at Maqishui last night, and they had a smooth ride all the way, and they didn't stop for a moment, so how could the Goguryeo people catch up from behind?
"They've cut the corner!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's exclamation, the general of the Cheng Mansion, who had been guarding next to Cheng Chumo, explained at this time: "I just heard Shi Hu say that if you take the dry road to Anshi City, it happens to be a slash, presumably these people came from that dry road last night!" ”
"No wonder!" Hearing the general's words, Cheng Chumo was a little surprised just now, and he was suddenly relieved.
Then, when he looked at the more than 10,000 Goguryeo people who were still following their fleet, a mockery suddenly appeared on his lips, and he looked at the Goguryeo people on the shore: "Even if we take the short road, can we be blocked on the Liao River?" ”
"I guess it's for show!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, the Cheng Mansion general on the side also had a smile on his face, and said to Cheng Chumo beside him: "After all, we are just these people, if we watch us leave, no matter how you say it, you can't explain it to the above!" ”
The Liao River is wide and the water is turbulent, so naturally it is impossible to block them, and these people know that they can't stop them, so they even spend a whole night trying to catch up from behind.
Probably the only explanation is that it is to make a show for the people above.
"That's right!" Hearing the words of the general, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then, he looked at the Goguryeo people who were urging horses and whips on the shore, and vowed not to give up if they didn't catch up with them, and suddenly couldn't help but open their mouths and laugh.
Along the Liao River, not all the roads on the shore are flat, and the further you go downstream, the more mountains and hills there are along the way.
Therefore, it took a whole night to catch up with their Goguryeo pursuers, but they only followed for more than an hour before they gradually disappeared from sight in the whistle of the ship's sergeants.
However, when I thought that after getting rid of this group of Goguryeo pursuers, it would be impossible for anyone to catch up again, but what people didn't expect was that just an hour, on the shore, a group of Goguryeo pursuers appeared again.
There were about two or three thousand people, but looking at the outfits of these people, it was not the same group of people they had encountered, and it was obvious that this group of people was another group.
"Are the Goguryeo people really crazy?" Seeing that there was another group of chasing soldiers on the shore, the expression on Cheng Chumo's face suddenly became a little surprised.
If the previous group of pursuers was for the sake of showing and showing the people above, then the dead group of people who have reappeared now is a bit of a big problem.
You can't just use other armies for the sake of show, right?
"Speed up!" Looking at the pursuers on the shore with a slight frown, after a while, Cheng Chumo didn't know what he thought, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly shouted at the soldiers on the ship.
"What are you afraid of!" Hearing Cheng Chumo's sudden solemn words, Jiang Chao, who had already run to Cheng Chumo's boat, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders indifferently, and said with a relaxed face: "Anyway, they can't do anything with us, what can they do if they catch up?" ”
"It doesn't matter to us!" Cheng Chu silently heard this, and while urging, he said to Jiang Chao, who had a relaxed face: "But what about Brother Chen'er?" ”
"......" Jiang Chao, who originally looked relaxed and indifferent, suddenly heard Cheng Chumo's words, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly froze on his face.
Then, looking at the back of Cheng Chumo, who had left in a hurry, Jiang Chao's eyes couldn't help but look at the shore, and after a while, Jiang Chao's face couldn't help but change, and he turned around and headed towards the fleet behind him.
As Cheng Chumo said, their fleet is sailing in the wide Liao River, and even if there are more than 100,000 Goguryeo pursuers on the shore, they can't do anything to them.
However, it is not good for them, but it can cause immeasurable serious consequences to Zhao Chen's side!
On Zhao Chen's side, there are only 1,800 people at full capacity, and at this time, it is already very good to be able to use the stratagem to deceive the tens of thousands of people in Zhu'an City, trapped in the city and unable to move.
And at this time, if there are more of these pursuers on the shore, and when the time comes, the consequences will be flanked from both sides, even if there is no need to delve into it, Jiang Chao will break out in a cold sweat on his back as long as he thinks about it.
At this time, the only way to avoid such a serious consequence was to arrive at Shuizhai before these pursuers, and then inform Zhao Chen and ask him to lead people to withdraw from the city of Anshi as soon as possible.
Time suddenly became a little urgent, and the fleet that was originally pulling the sails on the Liao River, at this moment, under the urging of Cheng Chumo, the oars on both sides of all the ships shook rapidly.
With the shaking of the oars, the speed of the fleet sailed, and suddenly, it increased by a large section, and from a distance, the whole fleet seemed to be about to fly on the Lianliao River.
However, just when Cheng Chumo and the others were speeding up their voyage and sailing quickly towards the lower reaches of the Liao River, Zhao Chen at this time had already experienced a huge trouble.
And this trouble is that Liaodong City actually sent reinforcements, more than 10,000 reinforcements, thanks to the scouts sent early in the morning, who discovered the whereabouts of these people.
Otherwise, it is estimated that when more than 10,000 people have copied their nests, it is difficult to say please!
Originally, there was only artillery fire at night, but when Zhao Chen took 1,500 soldiers and carried rifles to block the reinforcements of Liaodong City, he was ordered to open fire and fire at Anshi City without stopping.
Moreover, this time, all the cannon barrels were ordered by Zhao Chen to be raised a little, so in this case, the entire Anshi City was covered by artillery fire for days.
