"Cross the river!"

With the mountain of military orders passed down layer by layer, the soldiers had already driven the horses carrying the baggage to the fishing boat, connected the hemp rope that tied the tent and the baggage, tied it to themselves, and held the bamboo artemisia on the boat to control the direction, and pushed twenty or thirty soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion who knew how to water to bend down and support the boat gang, and more than ten people close to the side of the river pulled two plates unloaded from the grain cart at the same time, so as to become buoyancy, and also prevent the boat from sinking and spinning, being washed away by the river, and opening the way in front of the army. The soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion behind also took off their armor, tied the hemp rope handed over by the brothers in front of them, and slowly moved towards the center of the river, dragging the cart board, wading through the cold river, stepping on the thin mud that was stuck in their feet.

As Zhen Jiang said, it is a rare place in the Jiuqu Yellow River where the river channel is wide and the water potential is gentle, but even so, the impulse of the river is also very large, and the flying cavalry battalion was founded in the state, and many veterans have never touched the water, and there are only a few with good water quality; Fortunately, since the "reconciliation" with the first camp, most of the soldiers recruited were Yellow Turbans who had fallen for the disaster of Qingzhou, but many of them grew up on the edge of the Yellow River, and they were fortunate not to lead the team astray.

"General Qin, something is not quite right!" Under the setting sun, Qin Xu was watching the ships of the flying cavalry battalion in advance connect with each other, and the front was about to reach the opposite bank hundreds of zhang away, just like a peerless blade, cutting the Yellow River like a golden dragon shining in the afterglow of the setting sun into two sections, and when he was about to sigh, he heard Cheng Lian, who should have been supervising the formation by the river, and Lu Yi, who was sent to guard around, jointly report it.

"Yo, when did you two get together?" Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi, who was by his side, laughed at each other. Asked. Because of what happened in Hanoi at the beginning, Cheng Lian and Lu Yi can be regarded as bitter rivals for many years. Although the grudges on the surface were later abandoned under Qin Xu's "agreement", there was still some sympathy at that time. It means not to fight and not to know each other. But these two people are stubborn donkeys, and within two days, the private rivalry began and has never been broken since then, but fortunately, there are no small troubles in major events, and everyone turns a blind eye to them. Sometimes, even Qin Xu was wondering why these two people were sent out by Lu Bu. Will it be a big reason, but also because of the small friction caused by these two people who have nothing to do all day.

"Humph!" The two glanced at each other unconvinced, and Cheng Lian preemptively said, "General Qin, eldest lady." Our Lao Cheng has already inquired, and we are actually in Yanzhou now, and this is an important place to communicate with Qinghai, Yanzhou, and Hebei, and it is said that it has always been very lively. How could it be that after our army came at this time. There is no one on the river, and the villages by the river are empty, strangely tight! ”

"This realm is weirdly tight, who can't see it, and you still need to say it? Besides, what weirdness did you observe? Maybe it's because of the drought last year, the rivers dried up, and those who relied on water to make a living lost their jobs and moved elsewhere! "Originally, because of the slaughter of the Flying Cavalry Camp back then. made Lu Yi feel a little guilty in front of Cheng Lian, but since the two armies "reconciled". But somehow, after a few days of politeness, the two of them seemed to be born with incompatible, always one said the east and the other must say the west, no, as soon as Cheng Lian's voice fell, Lu Yi sarcastically said to Cheng Lian in a tone that was neither yin nor yang, turned around and arched his hand at Qin Xu and said: "General Qin, the last general was ordered to scatter the horse this time, and searched the surrounding area for more than ten miles, and almost all the cities of the Cao army in this place can be seen to the west, and only the flag is flying, and there is no military activity, which is really suspicious." We all know that this place is an important place connecting the three states, and the natural danger is weak, could it be that Cao Cao has been stupid since he got the help of the general to get the Son of Heaven? ”

"Hmm! Don't fight between the two generals, what should come will always come! Regarding the quarrel between Cheng Lian and Lu Yi, Qin Xu has always adhered to a laissez-faire attitude. With the last life and death experience, he had already understood that these two people were actually just fighting, Qin Xu just stared at the sun that was about to set the horizon where the river came from in the west, and said to the two with a smile.

"Didn't General Qin know that the other party had ambushes? Can...... But the surrounding brothers have searched no less than five times, and the ...... "Although Lu Yi has no complaints about Qin Xu's order to cross the river first and the camp first, he still feels a little unhappy in his heart. It's not that he complains that Qin Xu favors one over the other, it's just that he sees Lian being a veteran and being reused by Qin Xu, and he has some competitive thoughts. Since Qin Xu became famous in the first war, he has been in the camp first and has the honor of being on the left, and he has also understood Qin someone's temperament somewhat in the past three years, and when he heard Qin Xu say this, he had a little understanding, so he kept his mouth shut and waited for Qin Xu's next words.

"General Qin didn't mean it...... Not good! There are boats on the river! "In Cheng Lian's words, after all, we Lao Cheng have eaten a few more bowls of corn soup, and we have fought with Lu Bu, the world's first fierce general, and will pass the heroes of all walks of life, so we have more experience. After listening to what Qin Xu said at this moment, Cheng Lian no longer had the heart to continue to tease Lu Yi, but frowned and pondered, but before Cheng Lian, a contemplative person, pretended to appear, he suddenly saw that on the golden river in the west, about 20 river warships with a width of more than 50 people appeared. When he landed, Cheng Lian's eyes widened. This kind of ship is not a rare object for the forces on both sides of the strait that rely on the Yellow River for natural defense. With the help of the Mi family's funds, there are no less than 100 ships in Zhang Liao, but they only went to the plains for a day, and these warships came from upstream, so it will definitely not be Zhang Liaoxiao's elite cavalry who came to respond. Then if there can be such a large-scale river soldier and naval warship in this vicinity, it must be Yuan Jun in addition to Cao Jun. The rabbits of these two families must have been hiding on the side and preparing to make a bad move, until the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion scattered most of them in the river, and then they came out.

I see! I see! It's no wonder that Lu Yi's gang of people spread their horses widely, almost turning the ground in a radius of more than ten miles upside down, and there was no result, the co-authors had already calculated the marching route of themselves and others, and were waiting on the river. It's really bitter now! Even if there are only twenty river warships that can only carry fifty people, there are more than 1,000 people! It's not that many of these people come. But if these people go straight down the river like this, the result will be ...... Cheng Lian's face changed drastically. There are more than 4,000 soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion who have already gone down to the water. Waiting for these breezers who have taken off their armor and are in the water is nothing short of a massacre!

"It's really half-crossing!?" At this moment, even Lu Lingqi's already big starry eyes widened, and she looked at the sails that were getting bigger and bigger in surprise, and looked at Qin Xu with her mouth covered, and there was a little annoyance in her expression for the meaning of her crow's mouth.

"General Qin, this ...... How good is that? Our old brothers. But it's still in the river! Cheng Lian said incoherently, seeing that Qin Xu squinted his eyes and was unmoved, Cheng Lian was still not afraid in the face of an enemy army several times his size. The old face was forced to look anxious, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", his face was red and panting, and his fists were clenched. The knuckles are a little white.

"General Qin. Why don't you send me to Brother Xianden to shoot along the riverbank with a crossbow while they haven't come closer? Seeing that the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion who were about to cross the river suddenly encountered such an unexpected situation, and even showed signs of the vitality of the whole army being seriously injured again, Lu Yi also knelt down beside Cheng Lian and pleaded with Qin Xu to say.

"Huh? Old into old koji. Don't you think that Qin wants to take the lives of these 4,000 brothers in the Flying Cavalry Battalion as a trick? Even Cheng Lian and Lu Yi didn't say anything, they were just worried about the safety of the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion. A plea took the initiative to meet it, although due to Qin Xu's special status and status, he did not say anything clearly, but there was a pessimism in and out of his words.

"Don't worry! They don't dare to rush like that! "It's okay to kneel, the two people in the province have been arguing with each other all day long, their quarrel and quarrel relationship is getting better and better, and I don't know how to take care of the feelings of the bystanders, Qin Xu looked confident, ignored the pair of enemies who knelt on the ground and "promised" each other's hearts, and said lightly.

"How is that possible? How can it be!! "To be honest, Cheng Lian and Lu Yi still believe what Qin Xu said. After all, there have been so many brilliant "criminal records", and Qin's mouth is not even much worse than the emperor's golden words in the eyes of everyone. But even so, now that I saw the twenty or so river warships getting closer and closer, I could almost see the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers on the side deck of the ships. But then a tight scene happened that made Cheng Lian Yiyi admire Qin Xu's broken mouth even more.

As if to cater to what someone Qin had just said. The more than 20 warships actually stopped at a distance of nearly 50 feet from the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion who were speeding up to cross the river, and slowly turned, making a 90-degree turn in the bow and stern, exposing the side of the ship.

"Not good! They're going to release their arrows! What a poisonous mind! When the warship that didn't know where it came from turned around, Cheng Lian and Lu Yi were already wide-eyed, and when they saw that the soldiers on the two strings of the warship really filled the bows and arrows in their hands, and aimed at the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion who were migrating on foot in the river and had no armor, Cheng Lian couldn't help but shout.

"Wait, Lao Cheng, they can't do anything!" This time, it was Koji who saw that he was tired. Cheng Lian, who was anxiously jumping to his feet with red circles in his eyes but helpless, pointed to the elite soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion who had been flustered for a moment in the river and returned to order, and shouted loudly in Cheng Lian's ear.

"What...... What the? Seeing that the soldiers on the side of the boat mercilessly shot out the tragic situation of intending to take away the body in the river, and it was inconvenient to turn around and only wait for death, Cheng Lian, the man, almost cried, turned his head and couldn't bear to look, and after hearing the shouts of Lu Yi, he slowly turned his head around. If Cheng Lian and Qin Xu had a good relationship before, most of it was on the face of Lu Bu, who was Qin Xu's father-in-law, plus he felt that Qin Xu was indeed a little "smart" and regarded Qin Xu as a junior, but the scene he saw now made Cheng Lian completely convinced of Qin Xu.

I saw that the soldiers in the river who were a little flustered because of the warship rushing over just now relied on the long-term training, and in just a few breaths, they restored order, and from a distance, you could see the first few boats, the soldiers in the downstream direction on the east side lowered their heads and held the side of the boat to stabilize the hull from being washed away by the river, and the soldiers who were directly facing the side of the ship in the upstream direction also held the side of the ship with one hand to fix their bodies, and the other hand was to hold the hand that initially looked cumbersome, At most, it can only increase the buoyancy slightly, but it dismantles all the carts that haul and haul heavy grain and grass, and with the buoyancy of the water, it is erected obliquely. Cover your head. And as more and more soldiers did the same, hundreds of arrows flew down the wind as the soldiers on the side of the ship bent their bows and shot arrows. It has also become useless work.

Originally, such a dense array of arrows flew in, at least it could give a certain amount of damage to the soldiers in the water who were unable to fight back, but the current situation was that after only hearing a "clanging" sound, most of the hundreds of arrows were bitten on the thick wooden planks, and although the wooden planks dismantled from the requisitioned carts were only an arm's length, they had been used for many years. The entire wooden plank is so slippery that you can almost shine a human figure, even if the arrow is fast, nailed to this "divine object". At most, it leaves a shallow mark, at most less than half an inch into the wood, and with a slight shake, it falls into the water. It can't be effective at all. There are also quite a few arrows that shoot higher. They landed on the ship, or deliberately shot at the horses, but unexpectedly, the horses were full of military tents and sacks of grain, but they became natural shelters from arrows, although they were full of arrows, but these well-trained horses did not even move the body of the horse, except for the occasional sack of grain was shot and flowed out of the golden corn on the deck. There was no damage at all, but unfortunately it didn't take a moment. He became a hedgehog from a war horse......

"General Qin! We're convinced! It can be said that when the warship revealed its final intentions just now, except for Lu Lingqi, who had unconditional trust in Qin Xu, who was still annoyed by his crow's mouth, almost everyone thought that General Qin, who had no defeat in this rumor, was afraid that he was going to break his undefeated reputation. But right now, the warship that suddenly came out of nowhere, whether it was the strange river soldiers who didn't rush into the river and had little power to fight back, or the elite of the flying cavalry battalion raised the "car shield" as if they had been rehearsed to block the arrows that would kill them, it was as if they were following Qin Xu's intentions, and this kind of ghost and god strategy had to make everyone, including Cheng Lian Yi, who had seen this matter, even more convinced of the "inhuman" aura that was already shrouded in Qin Xu.

"Qin Envoy, how did you do it?" The three fathers and daughters of the Zhen family who rushed to hear the news are also witnesses of this "miracle", and the surprise at this moment is definitely not under Lu Yi Chenglian and others. Just now, when Zhen Jiang saw a warship suddenly appear on the river and the soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion were obviously "weak", he even felt a little guilty about Qin Xu, after all, this place was chosen by her to "help" Qin Xu. But seeing that the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion who were in the water were in danger, and the boat still didn't dare to enter an inch, Zhen Jiang, who was conceited and scheming, was also a little puzzled, and asked the question that almost everyone wanted to ask.

"Huh! It's actually nothing! Qin Xu pretended to smile profoundly. After staring at the east side of the river for a long time, he showed a hint of a smile, and said to the people who were waiting for Qin Xu to "solve their doubts": "As early as when the old man said that there were no traces of soldiers nearby, Qin had already guessed the approximate location of the other party, and of course, it was not ruled out that someone would set up an ambush on the other side. However, Qin expected that Yuan Xi would not make a big move in such a sensitive place. ”

"Huh? Then how did Qin Envoy Jun think that he would make more than ten soldiers hold wooden planks? Oh...... Yes, in such an occasion, the bow and arrow are naturally the first choice! Zhen Jiang asked anxiously, seeing the stunned looks of the soldiers nearby who heard this, as well as the expressions of Qin Xu, Yichenglian, and even Lu Lingqi and others, Zhen Jiangxuan even knew that he had asked a stupid question, his cheeks were flushed, and he said in a low voice. Because the slap by Zhen Jian last night has reduced a lot of swelling, Zhen Jiang's charming face has made the surrounding soldiers breathe half a beat slower.

"Ahem!" Seeing that these soldiers had never seen the world, Qin felt very faceless, and coughed heavily, which could be regarded as taking back everyone's souls, as if there was a chain reaction, and the coughing sound became a one.

"But they are obviously less than a hundred feet away from the soldiers, and they can rush over...... Ah......" Maybe it's because he's used to everyone's reactions to his beauty, but Zhen Jiang didn't care much about the reactions of the soldiers around him, and after the blush on his face receded slightly, he frowned and asked Qin Xu again.

"Isn't this the place where Miss Zhen told Zhong Ming? Could it be that Miss Zhen doesn't know? Just now, Qin Xu "resisted" the charm that Zhen Jiang inadvertently revealed, and Lu Lingqi was very satisfied. Especially when Cheng Lian and Lu Yi, who were already uncles, were not immune, Qin Xu was able to do this, and Miss Lu really felt that her husband was really a general with a thunderous chest and a peaceful face at this time. Therefore, seeing that Zhen Jiang wanted to "entangle" again, Lu Lingqi also took a rare dry vinegar and asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Zhen Jiang has always prided himself on being smart, otherwise he would not dare to team up with his father Zhen Jian to tease Lu Bu. But along the way, he was always "pressed" under Qin Xu, and unconsciously gave birth to some feelings that he didn't know what could stump this Qin demon, and now he was suddenly reprimanded by Lu Lingqi, and originally planned to offer Qin Xu to wait for a while, mobilize the power of the Zhen family and Zhang Liao to transport these six thousand people across the river in one go, on the one hand, sell Qin Xu well, and then show the strength of the Zhen family, for coming here, in fact, it is just a casual talk to deal with the anxious Qin someone, Zhen Jiang, who made Qin Xu retreat, was a little unable to answer for a while.

With Lu Lingqi to break the siege, Qin Xu naturally didn't bother to explain, and it was good to maintain a sense of mystery! Besides, someone in Qin can't tell Zhen Jiang that on TV 1,800 years later, there is a column called National Geographic? As the so-called venomous snake comes from, there must be restraint within seven steps. Although the ancient road of the Yellow River has been changed countless times, will there be a gentle place in the most dangerous part of the Nine Curves? It's actually called ...... Common sense! (To be continued......)
