The sky is cloudy and the river is ushering in a new morning again

And in the cold and humid morning mist, Gu Laosi, who was the leader of the regiment, was also on the only riverboat, staring closely at the opposite bank that was faintly shrouded in mist, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to all possible movements; It's a pity that there is no other sound except for the sound of Xi Xi's stroke.

Despite this, the Lianzhu Gun in his hand still did not slack off or relax in the slightest, but still firmly and steadily pointed to the other side in the mist, ready to encounter the enemy and kill at any time.

Although this ferry boat, which is already a little old, plus him and the two oarsmen who are watching from the bow of the boat, can only carry eight people at most, and there is still a small half of the space occupied by various objects, so even if you take turns to row the rushing river, it is inevitable that there will be some shaky turns and turns, which makes people move forward in a somewhat frightened serpentine shape.

He could have avoided taking risks, but he still resolutely asked for his life to embark on this journey of nine deaths, because, as a relatively senior group of Jiangning soldiers, after reaching the junior officer level of the regimental officer, his path to promotion has reached a bottleneck.

Therefore, lacking sufficient qualifications and background, he needs to get enough performance and merit on the battlefield in order to pass the application relatively smoothly, and enter the government-run joint school for further training, so as to get a better future and a chance to advance.

You must know that even if he is a southerner who grew up in the mountains by the Yangtze River, he has been playing in lakes and ponds since he was a child and knows some water, which is also an important reason why he took the initiative to ask for orders to come and lead the team; But once you fall into the water in this rushing river with this weapon, it is basically a result of no luck.

And the people who sat on the ship with him were all specially selected from the daring soldiers and the selection team, who were lighter in weight and had excellent endurance, excellent military literacy and calm psychological quality.

Fortunately, God still favors him at this moment, after encountering a few undercurrents that almost shook people into the water, their old ship, which had fallen into a lot of stagnant water, still got out of the deep water area with strong waves and entered the relatively gentle coastal waters.

But it wasn't until the ferry, laden with people and goods, came to the muddy and slippery river bank in some kind of slight shaking that bottomed out. He took a bite to his throat, and then it fell back again.

Gu Laosi couldn't wait to step on the knee-deep river water, and vigorously moved forward through the wet and cold fog until he stepped on the solid and dry mud ground again, and then handed the whole bundle of iron chisels and wooden stakes on the boat to the shore in relay mode in the call of lowland birds.

After being driven into the ground step by step, and then padded with large stones, a rather rudimentary manpower winch was formed.

Finally, the ropes that had been dragged all the way across the boat were lifted up from the cold and turbid water again, and then nailed into the more solid ground on the shore with iron drills; Except for the two scattered sentinels, the remaining six people turned and dragged in unison towards the north bank, until what was revealed in the river was no longer a soaked and heavy hemp rope, but a thick iron chain with knotted links.

At this point, their outpost work is considered to have completed the first step; Then a man jumped back onto the boat, and slowly pushed the old ship back to the other shore through the iron chain.

At this time, the two scouts in charge of the lookout and reconnaissance also rushed back to replace the two sweaty soldiers who had already shown signs of exhaustion, and then used various tools to reinforce and carry out incidental operations around the turntable.

Just as the remaining five people were waiting and working intensely, and the fog seemed to become thinner, there was another roaring sound of water division on the river, but the boat, which was once again full of men and equipment, had already broken through the fog and successfully reached the north bank.

By the time the next time they left again, the speed of the ship had become faster, because there was alternating traction and pulling from both sides.

After concocting this several times, six iron cables have been able to cross the river, and they are firmly fixed between the two banks by thick iron drills and piles;

At the same time, on the south bank where the crowd rushes endlessly, the wooden planks tied into strips, together with the sheepskin buoys underneath, are also stretched and extended from the south bank little by little with the rippling water surface and the constantly washing waves.

After the piling was re-driven and secured, a rather rudimentary pontoon bridge over the river took shape, and then a whole group of soldiers were ready, and the first soldiers on foot began to try to cross the rickety ropeway along the rickety river.

As soon as they reached the opposite bank, they jumped down quickly, and with the shovels and pickaxes they carried with them, they began to dig the ground along the bank with all their might, and gradually formed a semicircular trench.

After accumulating enough manpower and equipment that could be replaced, Gu Laosi and the others were finally freed from heavy labor, and expanded the warning range and defense line with the first few batches of soldiers who landed on the shore, and put the ammunition loaded on a newly dug mound of earth in the trench, making a certain posture of vigilance and standby.

Although the newly dug trench was only thigh-deep, together with the piled up soil in front of it, it formed a natural full-height breastwork, and a few sharpened wooden poles were inserted diagonally, or a wire fence was laid out, which became the most basic perimeter defense line and fortification.

Not long after, along the towing ropes on the new connection, large paddles made of more sheepskin buoys and logs, loaded with various bundles and fixed ordnance and supplies, slowly crossed the river under the tow of the opposite bank.

As the sun rose, the fog that shrouded the river and shore began to fade as the sun rose and pierced the large clouds with golden lightsabers, revealing the outlines of trees and mounds in the distant fields.

At this time, the faint voice began to appear on a mound somewhere in the distance, and then it became some kind of questioning voice with some kind of surprise; It's a pity that because of the accent, it can't be understood, and then in the subtle screams and muffled snorts, it returns to calm.

But this false calm obviously cannot last much longer,。。 As the sun steamed the last bit of fog, and the river was bright, more drums and horns finally resounded in the fields not far from the riverbank.

The whole riverbank seemed to be completely resurrected...

After the day is in the middle of the sky,

Surrounded by the guards who had come to me and hugged me to set foot on the other side, I was now confronted with a large advance camp surrounded by trenches, breastwork, and simple horsebacks.

Although the outskirts were covered with traces of fierce battles, the entire camp was filled with a certain calm and exhilarating atmosphere. Obviously, those enemies who fought back did not exert any substantial impact and pressure on them.

I don't care what kind of identity the other party who secretly crossed the river to contact him, what kind of reason he has, and it doesn't matter if all this is true or not, I just need an opportunity and reason to send troops across the river in the name of righteousness, and that's it.

I sighed as I looked at the cannon being dismantled from the raft.

"It's time to say hello to the enemy's army."

。。。。。。。。。。。

"Their numbers are still growing."

"We've crippled three of our battalions in order to push them back."

"Without supplementation and reorganization, it will no longer be useful."

"If you dare to retreat without permission, you will not be forgiven."

And in the array at the other end of the shore that was encircled, Zhou Ang, as the leading officer, couldn't help but sweat profusely, he had already lost more than a thousand soldiers, and even the outside line of the camp that the other party hastily prepared could not shake at all.

And the pressure of reprimand and reprimand from the coalition camp in the rear made him dizzy one after another.

"Why haven't you been able to get it back?"

"Did these Southern troops fly over out of thin air?"

"Are all the patrolmen by the river dead?"

"If you miss a major event in the city, it's not a pity for you to die."

However, he could only sigh helplessly, and drove the waves of backup from the rear to the temporary camp on the riverbank.

As one of the few princes of the Northeast Alliance, or the only remaining soldier who knows the soldiers, Zhou Ang, who was born in Andong and has been fighting abroad for a long time as a righteous servant, how could he not know how bad and unbearable the current situation is.

Because, at the beginning, Su Yuanjing used power and inducement to take away most of the feudal army and righteous servants; Although the allied forces that went west out of the grasslands recovered a lot of goods, cattle, sheep and slaves for the feudal domains, they also caused a void in the defense of the feudal domains. I didn't feel anything in a short period of time, but after a long time, various problems and hidden dangers began to slowly appear.

As a result, those who had always been docile and submissive Tu tribes suddenly rose up in rebellion, which caught these princes who had been governing the local area smoothly for many years suddenly a little caught off guard, and many princes and vassal families in addition to running the city with unprotected walls for many years, those towns and villages almost all fell into the rebellion set off by these Tu tribes.

Some of the weaker or smaller feudal clans even lost the lives of their families or many of their relatives in the first place, and had to flee to the larger cities with their families for refuge under the protection of only the feudal soldiers.

However, what is worse is that among these Tu tribes, they also have some kind of clues and backhands left by Su Yuanjing; At least the standard weapons and military materials seized from the hands of those rebel Turks are not something that these mountain people and forest people who have been blocked and restricted for a long time can easily obtain.

Obviously, the benefits and cheapness from the Northern Dynasty are not so easy to take, and Su Yuanjing, who is the first important minister in the Northern Land, not only successfully used them, but also dug a very fatal hole for them at the time.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and all that has been born is irreparable. They could only rely on the thick walls of the city to resist and hold back those Turkish rebels who were not good at attacking fortifications and could not form a joint force, while giving up their previous suspicions and opening the treasury to take out the accumulated weapons and money and food, and train and arm more young and strong.

Only then did he save the situation little by little, and seeing the momentum of the rebellion of the Tu tribes, which was weak in succession, he suppressed it again, and then made concerted efforts to block the Yelu Dashi Department that had invaded from outside the Saiwai to the south of the Tongtong River, and reached a barely passable negotiation condition;

It's just that obviously God doesn't have mercy on them, the princes of the Northern Alliance, and the external troubles that have come on a large scale have just gone, but the inside of the princes of the Northern Alliance has changed.

Now even those Huai troops who only exist in the rumors in the south have come north to join in the fun, which can't help but make him more worried.

At this time, a shocking cheer broke out again in the camp of the opponent, interrupting his thoughts; Then came the roar of cannons, and the soldiers who had lost their armor and were in a hurry, and his position became shaken as he fought back again.

Because the enemy army camped in Linjiang actually took the initiative to rush out and kill him, and in an instant, he was arranged in the encirclement in front of the formation, which disturbed the impact; Accompanying these enemies is a banner with pink paw prints.

"It's..."

Zhou Ang couldn't help but sweat like rain, he was not one of those distant domain lords who were closed to information and a little ignorant of practice.
