Chapter Ninety-Two: Together
Forced crossing in the middle of the night, each person only holding a piece of wooden pole, this is simply a matter of nine deaths. When the generals heard this, they immediately put away the smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Mao Gui.
Mao Gui didn't seem to know what the danger was, thought for a while, and continued: "There is no need for many people in this matter, it is enough to have our front army. The chief manager and your brothers just have to rest tonight, and tomorrow morning we will work together to let the dog officer surnamed Lu know that we know how powerful our Xuzhou army is! ”
"This" Sesame Li stood up from his seat and looked at Mao Gui in a daze, the corners of his mouth twitching up and down. After a while, he waved his big hand down vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Good brother, you can go." Tomorrow as a brother awaits you on the other side! ”
"Mao Gui, what do you need, just say. As long as we can get it, we'll give it all to you! Peng Da, Wei Zixi and others excitedly stepped forward, willing to share any materials in their hands with Mao Gui.
"The kindness of your brothers is under the way!" Mao Gui smiled and arched his hand, and made a circle around. "Since I was crossing the river secretly, it would be a burden to bring too many things. This account will be written down first, and after the dog official surnamed Lu is destroyed tomorrow, Mao will send someone to the door to ask for it from your brothers! ”
"You're not stupid!" The generals laughed, stepped forward one by one, or beat Mao Gui twice on the shoulder, or opened their arms to hug him, in order to be strong.
"I still have some drinks in my army, and I'll give them all to you. Before going down to the river, give the brothers a sip to warm up their bodies! When it was Zhu Eighty-one's turn, he gently pounded Mao Gui's chest and said in a low voice.
Although it is late spring this season, the water of the Yellow River is still very cold. Although the children born in Xuzhou and Xiao County all have good water nature, I am afraid that many people will have to freeze alive in the Yellow River when they go to swim across the river. Therefore, as long as it is possible for more brothers to reach the other side safely, Zhu Eighty-one would rather give everything he has.
When Mao Gui, the former military governor, heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand, put his arm around Zhu Bayi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's good, many brothers under my command are good for this." I'll send someone to get it when I get back, and I'll pack as many as I have! ”
"I have that too!"
"I've got dogwood and ginger!"
"Brother Don't go and get it, I'll go back and find someone to send it to you!"
Other generals were reminded and also spoke up. Willing to do our best to support Mao Gui.
"When you leave, make an appointment with the chief manager. Almost as soon as your side began to swim across, I sent someone to make a feint here as well. One is to attract someone's attention, lest he show up for you. Second, it can also tire his soldiers, so that his people will not be able to lift their spirits tomorrow morning! Zhao Jun was the most careful in his thoughts, and when he saw that he couldn't help much, he began to improve the entire river crossing plan.
"I'll go, I may not be able to win the battle, fool the surnamed Lu, and I won't do too badly!" Peng Da, the governor of the right army, immediately stepped forward and said angrily.
"We, our Fengzi camp has been idle. We are willing to share our worries for Mao Dudu! Wei Zixi, the new commander of the Fengzi Battalion, also stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help.
"No, Zhao will go in person. Rest y'all! Recharge your batteries! Early tomorrow morning, a decisive battle with the dog official surnamed Lu! Zhao Junyong shook his head and decided to arrange the suspicious soldiers himself.
Seeing that everyone's faces were full of disappointment, he thought for a moment and continued: "If you have the heart, you will pick out the most elite brothers under your command overnight. The pontoon bridge over the river is too narrow, so the first wave of people to cross the river tomorrow must be the best of the best. We must be able to withstand the onslaught of someone and cut out a space for the follow-up brothers to cross the river. In this way, he can cooperate with Brother Mao in one place, and the one surnamed Lu is caught off guard! ”
"That" everyone knew that he had a point, but they were very unwilling. His lips were twitching, and he was reluctant to accept his life.
When Sesame Li saw it, he waved his arm again and said loudly: "The military advisor is right, our strength will be left tomorrow morning." Disperse immediately, and go back to pick up people for me to sleep with. Tomorrow morning, everyone will bring five hundred elites to Lao Tzu to the pontoon bridge to gather. Lao Tzu rushed to the first wave, and the others, in the order of the left army, the right army, the middle army, and the mountains, fires, forests, and winds, rushed to the opposite shore in turn! ”
"Yes!" The generals agreed, bowed down and received the order. Then he stepped forward in turn and hugged Mao Gui, and quickly retreated to prepare for the battle. Everyone secretly swore in their hearts that they would never let the lives of their former army brothers be sacrificed in vain.
Zhu Eighty-one also followed everyone out of the Chinese military tent, and after returning to his own camp of the left army, he ordered the soldiers to disband immediately and go back to their tents to recuperate. And he himself, lying on a makeshift bed made of sheepskin, tossed and turned.
He had a brother named Mao Gui, and in order to give everyone a chance to cross the bridge, he led his brothers to swim across the Yellow River overnight. He has a brother named Sesame Lee, who will lead his own soldiers to the front when he crosses the bridge tomorrow. He also has a brother named Peng Da, who doesn't talk much, but is willing to stick a knife in both sides for his friend. He also has a brother named Zhao Junyong, who is cautious and calculating, but tonight he has to take his brothers to toss on the pontoon bridge all night, just so that everyone can sleep peacefully and be able to cheer up their spirits when they fight tomorrow morning.
And he is conniving at his subordinates, quietly calculating these people and using them. The left army of the Sesame Li faction in the attack on Dangshan, Yucheng and Xiayi obviously had an amazing coincidence with Mr. Su's construction of the day. To say that Mr. Su didn't play any role here, Zhu Bayi couldn't believe it. Although, he still hasn't figured out how Mr. Su did it.
"The last time I refused Mr. Su's offer, my attitude should have been more resolute!" Thinking of the scene of that day, he felt more and more uncomfortable. He definitely didn't agree to Mr. Su and Yu Sicang's mention that day, but if he didn't feel tempted that day, he himself felt blushing. The temptation of the independent portal is real, and the sense of alienation between the Zuo Jun and the big family of Xuzhou Red Scarves is also real. This feeling is actually not only shared by Mr. Su, Yu Sicang and others. Even Zhu Eighty-one himself can also be clearly aware.
In particular, in terms of weaponry and military appearance and discipline, the distance between the two sides has been gradually widening, rather than slowly shortening. Like two carriages running side by side, one with all-steel wheels and axles, the other with the same wood and rivets, it is strange that the two can go hand in hand for a long time.
Thinking in a daze, he felt himself floating off the bed. Piao left the camp and came to the bank of the raging Yellow River. Seeing that Mao Guijing, the former military governor, was naked, he grabbed the water bag containing the wine and poured a few large mouthfuls, then threw it to others, tied his steel knife to his neck with a rope, and jumped into the Yellow River.
The huge wave crashed over, and Mao Gui's figure disappeared immediately. But the other brothers, as if they didn't know how to write the word "afraid", drank wine one after another, and threw themselves into the rolling turbidity in the same posture as Mao Gui. In the dark night, no one dared to light torches, only the stars overhead, illuminating their clear eyes. The pair of eyes stared at the river in a long line, moving towards the opposite bank, moving, moving slowly. And the riverbank in the distance, as if it had grown legs, kept retreating, retreating, retreating quickly. Another huge wave crashed, and the entire Yellow River disappeared into the long night.
"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock" The majestic drum sounded, quickly pulling his soul back from the dream to reality. "Governor, please Guanjia!" Xu Hongsan ran in with a few personal soldiers, pulled him up from the bed, and buckled two pieces of plate armor on his body with all hands and feet.
"It's dawn?! What time is it! Zhu Bayi shook his drowsy head and asked in a low voice.
"At three o'clock, the Governor ordered all the people to eat, and in a quarter of an hour, gather in front of the pontoon!" Xu Hongsan replied quickly while helping him tie the stumbling armor.
"Go get me breakfast! Be light, don't eat meat! Zhu Bayi struggled to push him away and ordered in a low voice, "I'll do other trivial things myself!" Tell Ivan to go and form a team, and ask for a team of 100 sword and shield soldiers, and two teams of 100 spearmen. Plus an archer, a hundred-man squad and a squad of grenadiers. The artillery was not used for the first time, the pontoon bridges were too narrow, and it was easy to block the bridge deck by pushing them. Then let the big fat man get ropes and sheepskin rafts, and wait on the shore, ready to catch people from the river at any time! ”
"Yes!" Xu Hongsan really had a good memory, engraved a series of upside-down orders on his heart, and ran out of the tent with a loud promise.
"Give me water!" Zhu Eighty-one snatched the water bag from another soldier and poured himself a few gulps. The icy spring water immediately ran down the throat to the navel. Now, he finally woke up completely. Served by the other soldiers, Swift put on his helmet and hung the broad-bladed sword captured in the last battle around his waist. Then he walked briskly to the door of the tent.
Someone had already brought his war rice, two cakes and a bowl of steaming noodle soup. Zhu Eighty-one poured the rice into his stomach in two bites, and then jumped on a captured black war horse. The clever Arabian horse smoothly spread his hooves and led him towards the emptiest part of the camp of the Left Army. There, after receiving the order, the five hundred soldiers had already lined up in a long line, and everyone's face was dyed golden red by the morning glow.
The sun hadn't come out yet, but the sky was already bright. In the slightly chilly morning breeze, countless flags were ringing in the hunt. The Right Army, the Central Army, and several second-level battalion leaders subordinate to the Central Army have all been assembled. Many familiar faces stood in front of their respective ranks, either shouting profanity or waving their arms vigorously, boosting morale in their own accustomed ways.
Zhu Eighty-one rode his horse in front of his brother in a circle, and wanted to say a few words, but at this moment, any words were very redundant, and he simply snatched the wool Daxu representing the left army from the hands of his own soldiers, and raised it high above his head, "Follow me, kill the two Tartars!" ”
"Kill the two Tartars!" "Kill the two Tartars!" There was an immediate burst of fierce shouting behind him. All the selected soldiers, with their legs and armor in their arms, slowly walked towards the gate of the barracks like a beast awakened from sleep.
"Kill the two Tartars!" "Kill the two Tartars!" Not far away, countless people opened their throats in response. The soldiers and horses participating in the battle were dispatched one after another, and followed the left army in turn according to the order of attack arranged by Sesame Li last night. The only one who chose to cross over was Sesame Li himself and his five hundred personal soldiers, raising their heads one by one, as if victory was within reach.
Sesame Li himself walked at the forefront of the entire team. Riding a red horse, wearing the full-body armor specially forged for him by Mr. Su. In order to allow everyone to better identify the location of the main general in the battle, the craftsmen specially plated a thin layer of pure copper on the surface of the armor. At this moment, when the light of the sun shining through the cracks in the clouds, both men and horses jumped and rose as if they were riding on fire.
Most of the soldiers under the command of Sesame Li were wearing the batch of large-leaf iron armor captured from the Rakshasas. When I walked, the nail leaves collided, and there was a deafening sonorous sound. Closest to Zhima Li and his handsome banner, more than 20 pro-soldiers had already changed into new-style plate armor, and they all wiped the armor spotlessly like Xu Hongsan and others. The reflection of the morning glow is dazzling.
Zhao Jun used his brothers to go against the crowd to the gate of the camp. After a whole night of tossing and turning by the river, each of them looked exhausted. However, everyone has a smug smile on their faces.
"It's up to you, we let those salt-boiling guys on the other side not dare to close their eyes all night!" When rubbing shoulders with the guys, they show off loudly. In this way, he reminded the robe who had just woken up that there were indeed enemy troops on the other side. At the same time, he clenched his fists and waved them up and down to cheer everyone on.
"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain!" Someone in the group responded loudly, and the tin boots stomped hard at the same time. "Boom, boom, boom!" Countless people echoed in the same way, and the whole team marched forward, trampling the ground under their feet.
No one scolded, ordering everyone to cherish the body. When we meet on a narrow road, morale is the most important thing, and body can only take a back seat. Not far from this "rumbling" procession, a thin pontoon bridge slowly appeared. It was built entirely of boats and planks, and was only about half a zhang wide at its widest point. It's just enough for three people to walk side by side. Some of the places that had fallen into disrepair were only three feet wide and narrow, and the broken planks were exposed with billowing turbidity currents.
Countless enemy troops stood on the other side of the pontoon, lined up in an inverted row of geese's wings, ready for battle. On the bridge deck near them, it was covered with dense carved feather arrows. It was obviously wasted last night, and it didn't have any effect other than staying there for everyone to laugh at.
The leading enemy commander was furious, brandished a sword, and sat on a sliding rod and shouted uncertainly. As for what the man was shouting, he could not hear a word on this side of the river. The rolling water of the Yellow River swallowed all the nonsense, and in a blink of an eye, it was cleaned!
