Chapter 817: Crossing the Lake

Guo Jia led his army all the way north, but Yuan Xu did not chase after him, but led the army to the east. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After getting the news, Guo Jia ordered the army to stop.

Looking at the east, Guo Jia's face was very ugly.

"Guo Gong ......" Xiahoudun asked, "Why don't I go back to Yecheng?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back!" Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xianxin led the army eastward, if our army does not pursue, he will attack Cao Gong from behind." If our army pursues and they are ambushed in the middle of the road, we may be wiped out! ”

Xiahou was taken aback: "What can I do?" ”

"Chase!" Guo Jia said: "Just be careful! ”

Guo Jia made a decision, and Xiahoudun immediately ordered the army to turn around.

While leading the army, Yuan Xu learned that Cao's army was following.

"Childe is really transparent, Guo Fengxiao has a temperament." Tian Feng said: "When the enemy army comes, our army can ambush halfway. ”

Yuan Xu shook his head: "Don't ambush too early." ”

"Why?" Tian Feng asked.

"Who is Guo Jia? How could he not know that a certain intention was half-intercepted? Yuan Xu said: "Our army just moves forward, don't pay attention to it, and when it comes to an ambush, a certain general will give an order." ”

Tian Feng didn't say anything more.

Of course, he knew that Guo Jia was treacherous.

was also born in the Ghost Valley Sect, Tian Feng certainly knows something about Guo Jia.

If he leads the troops and meets Guo Jia, he will definitely lose more than win.

Even though Yuan Xu is good at deploying troops, he didn't get much benefit from fighting against Guo Jia in the past!

The army marched all the way east, and within a day came to the territory of Onozawa.

Yuan Xu stood on his horse and looked ahead.

As far as the eye can see, there is a lake ahead.

The sparkling water has no end in sight, as if it cannot be crossed from any direction.

Pointing forward, Yuan Xu said: "Our army will cross here as soon as possible and intercept and kill Cao's army on the other side." ”

"There are many quagmires here, and the soldiers are only afraid of ...... when they march," the judge said: "Childe might as well find another way!" ”

"It's just a lake, what's so sad?" Yuan Xu said: "Pass the order, the soldiers will cut down the trees, cut the rolling wood into thin slices and tie them under their feet, prepare another raft, and prepare to cross this place!" ”

Yuan Xu's order was given, and the soldiers moved one after another.

The trees around Onozawa were not very luxuriant, and the army cut them down, but one day, the already bare territory became even more depressed.

At the edge of the lake, the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion sawed the trees into thin slices.

Many soldiers tried to tie the flakes under their feet.

The flakes were too wide, and the feet were tied to this thing, and the soldiers could only spread their legs when they marched, and each one was like a swaying duck, which looked very interesting.

"Childe!" Looking at the busy soldiers, Tian Feng said: "Felling wood to build a raft is to know how to use it, and tie flakes under your feet, but I don't know why. ”

"In the lake area, not everywhere the water depth is the same." Yuan Xu said: "When you meet a shoal, someone will go into the water to push the raft. The reason why it is called a lake is that the silt at the bottom of the water is too soft, and if you are not careful, you will be trapped in the mud. The wooden chips tied under his feet are not enough to bear the weight of a soldier, but they can make him stand on the mud and prevent him from falling! ”

Tian Feng was stunned.

Although he didn't quite understand what Yuan Xu said, he also knew that things that were flattened fell into the mud, and it was difficult to fall into them.

Yuan Xu's army had been preparing for a whole day, and the raft and thin pieces of wood were all ready.

Yuan Xu gave an order, and the army pushed the rafts into Onozawa one after another.

On the sparkling surface of the lake, countless rafts are heading forward.

The soldiers on each raft had thin pieces of wood tied under their feet, and thick ropes were also prepared on the raft.

The raft travels in the water.

Yuan Xu stood on the first raft.

In front of him was an endless stretch of water.

The guards were propping up the raft, and as they were traveling, the raft suddenly shook.

"Childe, the raft seems to have fallen to the bottom." Jiang Jun glanced at the edge of the raft and said to Yuan Xu.

"Send someone into the water!" Yuan Xu said: "Don't forget to tie the rope!" ”

Several guards wrapped ropes around their waists and jumped into the water.

The feet were bound with pieces of wood, and the guards jumped into the water, stepping on the soft mud, and there was a feeling of stability.

The only flaw is that the wood chips are too wide, which makes it inconvenient to lift your feet in the water.

The raft marched to the shallows, and more and more soldiers jumped into the water.

The people who remained on the raft tightly pulled the rope and looked nervously at their companions who jumped into the water.

Occasionally, a soldier in the water would not stand still and slip and fall, and the people on the raft would immediately pull up the ropes and drag him onto the raft.

It's hard to get through the shallows.

From noon to dusk, the army crossed the shallows and entered another lake.

The lake was not suitable for night marching, so Yuan Xu ordered the army to camp on the lake.

On the raft, the soldiers sat or lay down, tied to each other with ropes.

Sitting on the edge of the raft, blowing a cool wind, Yuan Xu looked at the endless water ahead.

"Childe!" Jiang Jun, who was on the same raft with him, reminded in a low voice: "The night is deep, please go to bed early." ”

"The soldiers soaked in the water for a day, and a certain heart was uneasy for a while." Yuan Xu said: "How do you sleep peacefully? ”

"The water here is wide, and the soldiers are helpless here!" Jiang Jun said: "Childe doesn't have to worry, he must be able to spend two or three days." ”

Yuan Xu nodded and said to Jiang Jun, "You should go to bed early." ”

"Childe doesn't sleep, how can he sleep Ansheng?" Jiang Jun said: "As a guard, how can you sleep before the lord!" ”

"You Jiang Jun!" Yuan Xu turned back to Jiang Jun and smiled: "Although the words are pleasing to the ear, it is a taste to hear." The implication is to force someone to go to bed earlier. ”

"Childe's words are serious!" Jiang Jun lowered his head and said: "Recently, the conquest has continued, and the son only sleeps for an hour or two every day, how can he stand it if it goes on like this?" In my opinion, it is a good thing to be in the middle of the lake! ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yuan Xu asked.

"In the middle of the lake, our army is marching very hard, although Cao's army is following, it will take time to catch up." Jiang Jun said: "If Cao's army takes a detour, our army can land before them. There is no interception before there is no pursuer, and Gongzi just takes advantage of this opportunity to rest. When the army lands on the shore, I am afraid that if the son wants to rest, there will be no chance! ”

Yuan Xu nodded: "Captain Jiang is reasonable, but he is not thoughtful!" ”

He stood up and stretched his waist facing the endless water: "The blue water is blowing in the wind, and it is just the time to sleep peacefully!" ”

Yuan Xu lay down in the middle of the raft, and Jiang Jun and the guards sat around.

Ben had closed his eyes and found that they were not lying down, Yuan Xu opened his eyes again: "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"Childe sleeps peacefully, how dare I trespass?" Jiang Jun replied.

"Sleeping with you and listening to the snoring is also the scenery of this night." Yuan Xu smiled: "I ordered you to wait to sleep!" (To be continued.) )
