Zhang Yan said: "Big brother, haven't you already sent someone to look for a boat along the river, and when we find a boat, we can go to Jiangbei." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Lin Yue said: "If the county soldiers of Jinyang County are killed during this period, how should we deal with it?" ”

Jinyang County, is where everyone is now, from Heiyun Mountain to the north fifty miles away, is the boundary of Jinyang, two days ago Zhang Kai and others led troops to pursue, but also pursued the soldiers and horses who withdrew there.

Speaking of the Zhang family's father and son, Lin Yue was very grateful, he could see that although Zhang Kai was in a hurry, he never caught up, and there was a little bit of water release, he would remember this favor, and he would definitely return it when he had the opportunity.

"There are not many soldiers and horses in Jinyang County, if you want to fight, you will fight, and you are not afraid of him."

Zhao Youfu snorted coldly.

Liu Shi smiled and said: "The two eldest brothers don't have to worry, it's not once or twice to fight with the officers and soldiers, when the officers and soldiers come, you don't need to make a move, I will take the brothers to fight." ”

Compared with Zhao Youfu and Liu Shi, Xu Yuan was much calmer, he thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, since Heimaozi occupied the Central Plains, the strength of each county should be about five hundred, and whenever they go out to battle, they will always bring the private soldiers of the family in the city, and recruit some temporary soldiers by bounty, so that their strength should be more than one thousand..." ”

"That's right!"

Lin Yue snatched the words and said: "This is exactly what I'm worried about, remember that when Linyang County attacked the cottage, didn't more than a thousand people also dispatch, so we can't be careless, especially now that we are lonely in the wilderness and there is no danger to defend, we should be more careful." ”

In fact, he is not only worried about this, but also after crossing the Yangtze River, the north of the Yangtze River belongs to the territory of Qin Zang, where it is more dangerous, if you want to go to Mubei, you must cross the seven counties of Jiangbei, as far as the current situation is concerned, the survival rate is almost zero.

He has always buried this matter in his heart, afraid that speaking out will affect his morale.

So after careful consideration, Lin Yue decided that he had to fight a battle in the south of the Yangtze River, one to boost morale, and the other to change the equipment of the cottage people, so that he could also have the capital to protect himself, and Jinyang County was his primary goal!

"Report..." A loud voice came from outside the tent, and a man with a horizontal knife ran in.

"Brother Lin, my brothers and I ran out along the river for more than five miles, and found that three fishing boats were cut off at the waist, as if someone did it on purpose."

Zhang Yan stood up and exclaimed, "What? A fishing boat was cut off at the waist? ”

"Yes."

Lin Yue waved his hand and motioned for the man to step back.

As early as the afternoon when he set up camp, Lin Yue had already discovered this, but he didn't say it for fear that everyone would worry.

Xu Yuan reacted quickly and said, "This must have been done by the Jinyang County Commander, he wanted to cut off our retreat." ”

"Hmph, this Jinyang County Order, I think he's impatient!" Zhao Youfu snorted coldly.

Liu Shi frowned, looked at Lin Yue, and asked, "Big brother, without the boat, how can we cross the Yangtze River?" ”

It was only at this time that he realized the seriousness of the matter, there was nowhere to go in front of him, there were strong soldiers in the back, and the previous rhetoric was suddenly forgotten.

Lin Yue was also a little worried, but he didn't show it on his face, he still looked confident, and said: "Don't worry, doesn't the Jinyang County Commander just want to fight with us, then let's fight with him and teach him a good lesson." As for the boats used to cross the river, we can repair them ourselves, and I believe that we will be able to cross the river in less than three days. ”

"Big brother, the fishing boat was cut off by laziness... Can it still be fixed? ”

Xu Yuan said worriedly.

Lin Yue pondered for a while and said, "Why can't it be repaired, you can find a few more fishing boats, connect them side by side with iron cables, and nail the bottom of the boats mostly with thin wooden planks, it shouldn't be a big problem; Brother Xu, this matter will be handed over to you, and after three days, you have to ensure that the fishing boat can go smoothly. ”

Xu Yuan arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Hearing what Lin Yue said, he seemed to have a little confidence, but he was not sure, whether it would be possible in three days, it would take three days to know.

"The destruction of the fishing boat is a warning that I can feel that there is a large army advancing towards us!"

"We can't sit still."

Lin Yue's face changed and he stood up and said, "Since the Jinyang County Order doesn't let us live, then we'll teach him a lesson!" Early tomorrow morning, except for Brother Xu who stayed behind to repair the fishing boat, the rest of the people will follow me to the south to meet the soldiers of Jinyang County! ”

Everyone stood up and shouted, "Yes." ”

Zhang Yan said worriedly: "Brother Lin, your injuries are not healed yet, I will lead the brothers tomorrow." ”

"This is our first battle since we left the cottage and I have to go; Only by eliminating the soldiers of Jinyang County can we cross the river safely. Lin Yue waved his hand and refused.

"Liu Shi."

"Yes."

Lin Yue said: "You are responsible for finding out the enemy's whereabouts, and report any situation immediately." ”

"Yes."

Looking at everyone, Lin Yue continued: "The rest of the people are ready for a big battle, go back and count their weapons, cook on the third watch tomorrow, and set off on the fifth watch." Tell the brothers that we will win this battle! ”

"Yes..."

This was the end of the meeting, and the crowd dispersed.

.......

Before dawn, five watches.

As soon as Lin Yue got up, Zhang Yan walked in, holding a long knife in his hand and a long bow on his back, looking like a big war was coming.

"Big brother, the brothers are ready to go at any time."

Lin Yue had already put on his clothes, walked to the weapon rack and picked up a spear casually, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked out of the big tent at the same time, only to see countless people gathered outside, under the leadership of Zhao Youfu and Liu Shi, standing in a queue and waiting for the battle.

Lin Yue walked over, and without saying a word, he turned over a war horse, and at the same time, Zhang Yan, Liu Shi, and Zhao Youfu also followed suit, leading their war horses to turn over; In the cottage, there were only a few pitiful horses, and now they have all been taken out.

At the moment when he turned over the war horse, a trace of pain appeared on Lin Yue's face, his left hand naturally covered his chest, and the violent movement caused his wound to crack again, but in order to give everyone confidence, he still persevered, and sat firmly on the war horse without saying a word.

Xu Yuan's mission was to repair the fishing boat, so at this time he was standing on the sidelines and did not join the queue.

He still felt very sorry that he couldn't participate in this battle in person, as Lin Yue said, this was the first battle after coming out of the cottage, and it was of great significance; However, at the thought of the fishing boats necessary to cross the river, he endured them, and it seemed that the fishing boats were more important than the war.

"Let's go."

With a wave of Lin Yue's hand, everyone lined up and set off, from north to south, gradually moving away.

In addition to the fifty people under Xu Yuan, there were a total of 150 people on this expedition, carrying equipment and a horizontal knife, a few carrying longbows, and more than 30 people holding spears in their hands; Such equipment was extremely rudimentary, but the morale of the people was high, and there was no fear on their faces.
