Changsheng Wharf. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The night breeze is blowing.

The silence was broken by an uneven whistle, and a Tai Chi Qingtian flag flipped left and right on the pier illuminated by the bonfire.

This is the military order for the assembly.

A group of men and horses silently boarded several reed boats.

On the reed wharf, Yang Ritian and Wang Erniu stood in the night breeze, seeing off the people and horses.

The big turtle disappeared into the river in the afternoon, and climbed ashore again at some point in the evening, and was now lying curiously on the pier looking at the soldiers who walked past him.

Sun Yi stood on the boat and waved his hand to Yang and Wang, "Go back, there are many things in the camp waiting for you to arrange!" ”

Yang Ritian opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

There are too few generals in the battalion who can lead troops, otherwise there is no need for the master to go into battle in person.

Deep in his heart, Yang Ritian had an indescribable feeling, which he had when he first saw his comrade fall from an arrow when he was young, and then disappeared for many years afterward.

The signal lights on the pier flashed a few times in the direction of the river, and soon, high up on the other side of the river, the watchtower on the reed platform had the same light, long and short.

This is the pier informing the lookout that a ship is about to sail.

The boatman picked up the penny and propped it up to the shore, and a reed boat left the shore, followed by a second, a third, and a fourth.

The signal light on the lookout flashed again. Sun Yi muttered and read out, and Yilong translated: "I wish us all the best." ”

This is the first group of soldiers to set off. They would first reach the opposite bank, enter the reed ditch, and then turn back north, taking advantage of the darkness and the current to sneak up on the bandit camp.

There were soldiers in each boat who took turns paddling, and you could see that many of them were quite nervous.

The recruits were nervous, worried about whether they would be able to come back safely after the battle.

The veterans were nervous because for the first time they had the idea of wanting to win and being afraid of losing. They are fighting for their land; It's fighting for your winter clothes. Thinking of the slogan of this battle - "Avenge our strong mules", the corners of the veterans' mouths couldn't help grinning, what a fucking energy!

'Squeak...... Squeak ...... Squeak", a large reed boat, raised a sail made of reed mats.

Sun Yi glanced at the reed mat, "This method is good!" ”

A dragon beside him said: "It's strange to say, no matter how hot it is on the shore, the wind is swishing on the river at night." ”

"It's called a fool's airflow," says Sun Yi, "during the day the river absorbs the sun's heat, and at night the temperature on the surface of the river is higher than the temperature on the ground, and the heat rises, forming the wind." ”

Liddell always came up with some strange words, such as calling hot and cold temperature, and fast and slow speed, but Yilong still asked, "Why is it called fool's airflow?" ”

Sun Yiyi: "This is what we say there, which means that when the time comes, it will definitely appear, and even a fool will know." ”

Yilong laughed and said: "Master, this is a turn and scolding me, I am not even as good as a fool!" ”

Sun Yi also smiled.

The "fool's airflow" was also unknown to many intelligent people in later generations. It's actually a term for flying, and when the sun goes down, you can always find updrafts on the water.

Sun Yi Yi said to the dragon: "We have soft sails made of cloth there, which are most suitable for this kind of crosswind, and some people use boards that can only stand one person to set up soft sails, and run fast by the sea." ”

A dragon was a little incomprehensible, "Can only stand alone?" Can't pull the goods? What's the use of that? ”

Sun Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "It's useless, it's just playing." ”

"Play?"

"Play."

"Is it an adult playing?"

"It's an adult, just like you play with the party, it's just playing."

"......, sir,"

"Huh?"

"I want to make a play too."

"Okay, I'll go back and draw you a picture."

"Master, have you ever seen the sea?"

"Yes."

"What does the sea look like?"

"Turn all the grass here into water, and turn the wolf mountain into water, the water is connected to the sky, and you can't see the edge."

"I know that the Yellow River is connected to the sea, and I have been as far as Tongguan on the Yellow River, from Lanzhou to Zhongwei to Ningxia, drifting across the grassland, from the mouth of the river to Hukou to Tongguan, and then going back by land."

"Is this waterway easy to walk?"

"This section of the Wolf Mountain Grassland is the best, and the water is gentle. A section of Shaanxi and Shanxi has a wide water surface, which is also okay. The most difficult thing to walk is from Lanzhou to Ningxia, there are canyons on both sides, the water flow is fast and steep, and people die every year. Legend has it that there are water monsters in this section of the Yellow River, called water monkeys, who look like dolls, two or three feet long, and weigh less than 100 catties. The body is sticky and smelly, and the hands and feet look like people, but they are very long, and they can usually be used for paddling, with only four fingers. The cloak is scattered, and there is a disc in the middle of the head, and the disc is extremely powerful when it is filled with water, and the mana will be completely eliminated when the water is poured out. ”

Sun Yi smiled, as long as there is water, there is a similar legend.

Sun Yi asked Yilong, "Do you believe it?" ”

"That's all a lie, I've never heard of a gorge style meeting a water monkey."

"Do you want to meet again?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"I think the water monkey you said looks a lot like what we looked like after we dived, why don't you dress up as a water monkey tonight?"

"Hahahahaha, okay!"

The flotilla circled to the northern part of the bandit island, turned around, removed the oars, and began to drift slowly down the river.

A few well-watery robe brothers began to prepare, took off their shirts, wore reed shoulder pads, tied lead ropes, and stepped on cowhide bags. Each person also had a bag tied around his waist, which contained his own weapon, and a dragon specially borrowed Sun Yi's neon dragon rope and hung it conspicuously on the other side of his waist. Their task is simple, sneak to the edge of the island, pull away the bandits' rafts, or simply destroy the rafts.

Sun Yi took out the lamp oil, mixed it with sludge, and smeared it on their faces. Several people giggled and untied their buns, and some people "snatched" a reed straw hat and ripped off the straw hat ring, leaving only one hat top buckled on their heads, and others followed suit.

Sun Yi looked straight and hot.

His task was to stay on board and command the rest of the men.

A dragon's eyes flashed with cunning, "Master, do you want to come with us?" ”

Sun Yi hesitated.

A dragon really looked like a water monkey at this time, and his words were full of temptation, "Just a few rafts, it will be over in a while, at most find another opportunity to scare and scare the bandits." ”

Sun Yi's blood swelled with a rush of excitement before the birdman jumped, "Okay! Then go and go back quickly! ”

Turning his head and arranging a sentence to the militia captain on the boat, Sun Yi quickly changed his equipment, and his comrade went into the water.

A group of "water monkeys" with only their heads exposed, flickering down the water towards the bandit island. Seeing that the outline of the island could be seen clearly, the "water monkey" disappeared, leaving only a few long and short reed poles on the water.
