The majestic sound of war drums broke the tranquility of the early morning in Huang County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

At the gates of the city, the army lined up.

Huang Zhong rode on his horse and looked back in the direction of the city gate, his eyes were sharper and firmer than ever. Today's battle was the real first battle he had when he arrived in Huang County. The encounter with the pirates was a temporary and sudden battle, and this battle was really planned and prepared.

The long knife was raised, and Huang Zhong suddenly shouted: "Let's go"

At the sound of an order, the army marched.

The elite dispatched, marched mightily, and went straight to He Miao's lair in the northwest.

At the gate of the city, hundreds of people looked at the departing army, all with anticipation in their eyes. Over the years, the people's livelihood in Huangxian County has withered, and it is time for a good official to take them to live a life of food and clothing; Over the years, Huang County has been plundered repeatedly, and it is time for a strong official to eradicate the surrounding bandits.

This battle is not only Huang Zhong's personal victory or defeat, but also implicates the hope of the people of the entire Huang County. The army hurried all the way, and in less than an hour, they arrived at the location of He Miao's lair.

All the soldiers, lined up on the shore of the lake.

Huang Zhong looked at the bandits stationed on the other side and ordered the prepared boat to be carried out.

Small boats, lying across the water.

To cross the lake, a boat is one way to get through.

Huang Zhong ordered: "Sailing"

At the sound of an order, ten soldiers formed a group, and five small boats were launched, quickly moving towards the opposite shore.

He Miao was wearing armor and hanging a sword at his waist, and he stood on the shore, his eyes staring at the officers and soldiers who came in a small boat. Seeing this scene, the corners of He Miao's mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, and ordered: "Order, let the water ghost pierce the boat...... Hmph, if just a few boats can capture the cottage, can the owner of the village stand tall in Huang County? Stupid and naΓ―ve. ”

"No"

A thief was given the order and gave the order immediately.

"Whoa"

The oars slided, and the boat headed for the middle of the lake.

But when the boat reached the center of the lake, there was a leak soon. The five boats kept shaking, and the officers and men on the boats did not panic, they nodded heavily one by one, and then jumped out and fell into the water.

Huang Zhong saw this scene on the shore and clenched his fists.

At the beginning, he expected that there would be water ghosts, so he selected fifty soldiers, all of whom were very water-oriented.

Fifty people went into the water, and immediately after, you could see the splash in the lake.

Stains of red blood appeared on the surface of the lake.

Huang Zhong looked at the situation on the lake, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. If the soldiers sent out can solve the opponent's water thieves in one fell swoop, then they can easily cross the lake and attack He Miao.

The battle in the lake, still going on.

The surging splash of water, and the constant flow of blood, jumped up one by one.

Half an hour passed, and the movement of the water gradually subsided.

At this time, Huang Zhong's heart was also slightly nervous, but the expression on his face was very calm.

"Wow"

On the shore of the lake, a soldier poked his head out.

Immediately afterward, three more soldiers poked their heads out, and after four people appeared, none of them came up.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong sighed lightly in his heart.

I only heard a soldier at the head report: "General, we have lost forty-six people in four underwater killings, and after a rough estimate, the other party's losses are at least twenty or thirty people." However, there are still water thieves on the other side, and it is almost difficult to completely eliminate the water thieves in the lake. Even if he kills all the water thieves in the lake, He Miao can continue to send people. ”

Huang Zhong nodded, he was not panicked, and ordered: "Prepare a raft to build a bridge"

The order was given, and in the rear of the military formation, the soldiers stepped forward with rafts.

The raft carried by the soldiers was three feet long and one foot six feet wide, and the wood used was all logs with a diameter of one foot. The logs are tied and fastened, and they are very strong. The weight of a raft alone was already a thousand catties, and there were enough twenty soldiers to carry it forward.

"Boom"

The raft fell into the water, splashing in all directions.

Immediately afterward, the soldiers who followed carried a raft up and into the water.

At the same time, a soldier entered the water and fixed the raft once again.

And so on and so forth, one by one, rafts kept moving forward.

Huang Zhong looked at this scene with a solemn expression. This plan was something he had already considered before he came. If the boat doesn't work, this method is used, although this method is slow and faces the destruction of the other party, but this can greatly reduce He Miao's destruction.

He Miao saw Huang Zhong's approach and looked solemn.

Those who have attacked in the past have never gotten along with such a plan. It is very good to build a bridge on a raft, which is simple and straightforward, and the rafts lie across the undulating lake. In addition, each bamboo raft is wide and calm, and the stability is extremely strong, and people who know water can even run fast on it.

When the time comes, Huang Zhong will send troops to sprint along the bamboo raft, and it is very likely that they will be killed.

He Miao's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "Send two more boats to disturb you." At the same time, increase the number of water ghosts dispatched to destroy the raft built by the opponent. ”

A large part of He Miao's advantage lies in this lake.

If Huang Zhong crossed the lake, He Miao would only have the advantage of a cottage, which was not what He Miao wanted to see. When He Miao sent a boat, Huang Zhong also sent a boat to disturb him.

The two sides are on the lake, and the battle begins.

Rafts are being built, and the confrontation in the lake is intensifying, and the number of dead and wounded is increasing.

When the two sides clashed, a team quietly appeared on the mountain behind He Miao.

The leader of this team is Wang Yan.

Behind Wang Yan, followed by Dian Wei and the Eighteen Horsemen. This time attacking He Miao, Huang Zhong attacked from the surface, and Wang Yan acted secretly. Last night, Wang Yan took Dian Wei and others to sneak across the lake quietly, in order to avoid startling the snakes, Wang Yan crossed the lake and found a place to hide. After dawn, after Huang Zhong attracted He Miao's attention with great fanfare, the defense of the cottage relaxed.

Wang Yan took advantage of this opportunity and quickly walked to the mountain with Dian Wei and his party.

Dian Wei clenched the iron halberd and frowned, "Lord, we have been wandering around the mountain for more than an hour. Until now, I haven't found my way up the mountain. Yu Crisp retreated and rushed to kill on the official road. Hmph, eighteen of us, enough to kill the mountain. ”

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, after going up the mountain, how many people will be left?" In this way, it is better to attack He Miao directly with Huang Zhong. ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei smiled.

Wang Yan said again: "When I was at the bottom of the mountain, I had already estimated the general direction, and I came all the way. In another half hour or so, we will be able to get close to the place where the cottage is. ”

Dian Wei said: "The lord said that for half an hour, he would go for another half an hour." ”

In such mountains and forests, Dian Wei has no bottom. The mountains and forests are too big, and it is easy to get lost in them, but when Dian Wei saw Wang Yan's confident look, Dian Wei calmed down and followed Wang Yan to the mountain.

Time passed, and it was almost noon, and the group looked a little tired. Everyone had dived in from last night, and although they had rested at night, their spirits had been tense, and their physical strength had decreased due to the fact that they had been climbing the mountain.

At this time, Wang Yan became more and more confident.

While walking, Wang Yan said, "It's almost there, it's almost there." The weeds in this woods are noticeably not as vigorous, the woods are not as dense, and the birds are not too dense. Footprints can even be seen in some places, which shows that there must be people coming and going in this area. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded silently.

Wang Yan led the people to move forward, but he was more cautious and cautious.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, suddenly the front widened. A cottage came into Wang Yan's eyes. Wang Yan was overjoyed in his heart, raised his hand, and waved his hand to signal everyone to lie down.
