Chapter 253: The Last River

It arched a few times, and suddenly the upper body stood up and looked at everyone, a pair of eyes as big as copper bells looked at the people with hair, and everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.

The Queen Mother of the Snake gasped for breath, fell to the ground with a thud, twisted her body a few times, and died.

Everyone let out a long sigh.

Although this battle was a battle between snakes and snakes, everyone was just watching from the wall, but there was no one who was not worried, no one did not feel thrilled, and even Wei Changfeng felt cold sweat on his back.

"Wait another hour," Wei Changfeng ordered, "when all the snakes are dead, and then the river bank will be cleared, and then we will cross the river and set up camp." ”

It is said that it is still early, but first to wait for an hour, and then slowly clean the riverbank, and then to find out that there is indeed no evil under the water, and then cross the river, so it is also very time-consuming, the army is already at the end of the time when crossing the river, this time is not sooner or later, and then go for fear that the fifth stream in front of it will be sad, so as soon as the army crosses the river, camp on the spot.

The camp may not be, the tanma has returned, and twenty miles ahead is the fifth river. Wei Changfeng and the others had finished camping, and called Li Quan and the generals to check the situation of the fifth river. Now that they had crossed the four rivers, although there were some dead and wounded, after all, the total number was not much, and seeing that there was still the last river, everyone became more cautious, and they all thought that there should be no major problems at the last river.

Everyone walked twenty miles, and when they reached the bank of the fifth river, they saw a fog in the distance, and everyone was startled and stopped.

"Is this the legendary miasma?" Zheng Kejin asked tentatively.

"Not really." Li Quan replied, "First of all, this is Mobei, not Yunnan, and there will be no miasma, and secondly, there are two kinds of miasma. One is tangible and the other is intangible. The tangible miasma is like a cloud, like a dense fog. Invisible miasma or fishy wind, or strange fragrance attacking people, is actually miasma.

There is another kind, at the beginning, but see the jungle shrubs in the bright golden light, suddenly fell from the air, as small as a projectile gradually drifted away, as big as a wheel suddenly cracked, non-rainbow non-xia, five colors all over the field, the fragrance is compelling. When a person receives this smell, he immediately becomes ill, and he is called a miasma, which is the most terrible of all.

In some places, the miasma is thick, get up early in the morning, people do not see each other within a stone's throw, and you must go to the middle of the day, the fog disperses, and you can distinguish objects, especially in the mountains. Therefore the inhabitants know how to travel, and must be well fed; Or drink a few glasses of wine to resist the miasma, otherwise you will definitely get sick after touching it. The summer is very hot, sweating like rain, but the residents do not dare to untie their clothes, when the wind is cold, lie down at night, and the door must be closed, these are the reasons to prevent the miasma from invading. Now this gas looks more like ordinary water vapor, but at this time, the temperature is not high, I don't know why there is such a large amount of water vapor? ”

"Be careful," Wei Changfeng said, "let's stop for a while, and be careful of accidents." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and stopped for a while every few feet ahead, and this half-mile distance actually walked for more than half an hour before approaching the waterfront. As they approached the water's edge, everyone saw the water, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that instead of water, the stream was flowing magma, and the magma temperature was extremely high, so the water vapor was steaming in the air.

But when the danger of water vapor is solved, another problem arises: the high temperature of this magma is terrifying, but I don't know how to get through it? Everyone talked about it for a while, but there was no good way, and they all looked at Li Quan for a while.

Li Quan pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "General Wei, let's go over early tomorrow morning." There's really no scenery here, and it's very boring to stay here. ”

Wei Changfeng also laughed: "General Li has a way?" ”

Li Quan nodded and said: "Yes, Ming'er will ask General Wei to gather the whole army early in the morning, and the general will have a way to pass it to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Wei Changfeng saw that what Li Quan said was so sure, and that the previous two times were indeed true to his word, and immediately smiled: "Just like General Li's order." So he gave the order to go, but this time there was no reservation, but really let the whole army prepare to cross the river the next morning.

Everyone turned around and returned to the camp, walked a few steps safely, caught up with Li Quan, and asked in a low voice, "Li Quan, can you reveal in advance, what is your solution?" ”

Li Quan smiled and said: "This is a Taoist immortal method, how can you casually reveal it to outsiders?" If you and other mortals, if you know the immortal law, this immortal law will not work. ”

An Ran knew that he was joking, but seeing that Li Quan refused to reveal it, it was enough, but fortunately, Li Quan's words revealed that he was full of confidence, thinking that he already had a way to win, but he didn't have to know in advance, everyone went back to the camp to rest at the moment.

Early the next morning, the whole army gathered and waited to cross the river. Several generals and Li Quan were standing by the river, everyone looked at Li Quan, waiting for him to come up with the magic of the immortal family, several generals were eager to try, thinking that this was the last of the five rivers, if there was any need, but to rush to contribute, the size is also a credit.

Li Quan shook three times in one step, came to the front of everyone, and said loudly: "Our first river, overcome water with fire, the second river, overcome the earth with water, the third river, overcome the wood in the water with the soil in the fire, the fourth river, overcome the gold in the water with the wood in the soil, and now this fifth river, this magma is both water and fire, and this water and fire are also in harmony, and we should hand over gold and earth to Jiake." ”

"General Li, let's talk about what to do!" Zheng Kejin saw that this was the last river, and wanted to grab a job, but he interjected without waiting for Li Quan to finish speaking, "I'll grab a job, what should I do in this fifth river, please General Li show me, I, Zheng, will do it, and promise to complete the task!" ”

Li Quan laughed and said to Wei Changfeng: "This has to ask General Wei to give an order, this matter, any general can do it, now General Zheng asks for an order, what does General Wei think?" ”

Wei Changfeng heard Li Quan say, "Any general can do it", thinking that since this is the case, what else can he stop, and nodded immediately: "Yes." General Li said, your words are orders, please General Zheng do it. ”

Li Quan nodded and said with a smile: "What is gold and soil? Use a shovel to shovel the soil, fill in a few earthen embankments, and let's cross the river! ”

Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

yes, isn't it just a lava river? Fill it out directly, won't it be over? In fact, if you encounter this magma river at the beginning, ten out of ten people will immediately know that you can pass it as long as you fill in a few earthen embankments, but the previous four rivers are all thrilling and full of difficulties and obstacles, so in the face of such a river, everyone will not think about the simple place. But Li Quan thought of this, which is also where Li Quan calms.

Zheng Kejin stayed aside, ashamed and angry, he didn't expect that he was shouting and shouting for such a hard work, which is called real grandstanding, but there is no joke in the army, since he asked for an order, how can he not carry it out, so he has to blush and give orders again and again to organize manpower to dig and fill the embankment.

The 100,000 army filled in a few small embankments, which took an hour, several embankments had been filled, and the whole army crossed the river, at this time it was just over half of the hour, Wei Changfeng saw that it was still early, recalled the map in his head, and ordered: "Continue to move forward, three hundred miles ahead, it is Darhan, six days later, we will fight Darhan!" ”

Wei Changfeng estimated that he would fight Durhan in six days, but in fact, this time he was wrong. At least one day wrong.

On the fifth day, fifty miles away from Darhan, Tanma reported urgently: I found that the Hun army of 100,000 was coming!

The generals all felt unbelievable for a moment.

100,000 against 100,000, is the Han army afraid? The current Han army is sharp in bow and horse, and it is extremely difficult for the Hun army to win without double the strength, if it were not for the Hun army to have a small city as a basis, the Han army does not have to use the strategy, and it is enough to attack directly. Now, Durhan is also a "tent city" like Xilin Gol, and the Hun army did not defend against the city at all, but directly met it face to face, what is this for? Can't remember to eat or not?

"Who's leading the troops?" Wei Changfeng asked.

"It's still the banner of Maudun!" Tanma replied.

Wei Changfeng looked at Bai Qi, Bai Qi looked at Wei Changfeng, and the generals below looked at each other, and everyone was puzzled.

Mao Dun is by no means an idiot, even if he is an idiot, the Huns are not idiots alone, if they still repeat the previous way of fighting, no more than one million people will not be enough to fill the mouth of the Han army. Of course, if there were really a million people, the arrows of the Han army would not be enough, but it was impossible for the Huns to make a million people so consumed.

Since the war with the Xiongnu, the losses of the Huns have been 300,000, even if they have millions of people, it is really too idiotic to send them in such a pit-filling style.

"Arrange according to the original formation," Wei Changfeng ordered with a frown, "all departments should be more careful in case the Huns have any tricks. ”

The generals nodded.

If there is no trickery, it is strange, so send another 100,000 people for the enemy to practice archery, and no general will do it.

The Han army quickly lined up.

On the left and right sides and in front are light cavalry, in the center are infantry, in the center are chariot soldiers, and in the rear are heavy cavalry, a formation that is both offensive and defensive.

Wei Changfeng stood in front of the formation, looking into the distance. Soon, there was a faint sound of horns in the distance, and seeing the dust flying, the Hun army appeared in the field of vision.

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but glance at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi shook his head slightly.

Although the two of them didn't make a sound, they actually made a brief exchange with their expressions.

Wei Changfeng was asking: Could it be that they rushed over like this?

Bai Qi replied: The last general doesn't know why they are like this.

The Hun army was closer, and it could be faintly seen that the Hun army was still in a cavalry charge.

Wei Changfeng shook his head helplessly.

He really didn't want to believe it was true. Could it be that Maudun and the Huns were stupid enough to bring troops to death in batches?

Ahead, An Ran had already ordered the preparation of arrows, and it seemed that this was another massacre.

In the Hun army, the horn sounded constantly.

Wei Changfeng's face suddenly changed color, and he shouted almost at the same time as Bai Qi: "That's not right! ”
