Little by little, phosphorus fire rose from the battlefield of Baigou River and fluttered in the air. Looking around, I don't know how many corpses lay there in the darkness. The smell of corpses wafted over in bursts, as if there was no other smell between heaven and earth.
Everywhere there are traces of the last battle, broken blades, everywhere. With every step out, it seems that you can step on something. Along the way, Xiao Yan also saw a whole group of Song troops, all facing north, and even the mounts under their crotch were shot into hedgehogs, and there were so many arrows that when they fell, they were all supported off the ground by dense arrow feathers!
This team of Song troops, to death in their hands, also held the spear of the ash pole in their hands. Yue Fei saw it, and just whispered: "Yang Xianggong's white soldiers!" ”
Sideways in it, like a ghost domain.
Xiao Yan had a cloth towel around his face, revealing only two eyes. He had seen the battlefield of Baigou River from afar, but in this ancient battlefield, every step he took, every place he walked, there was a strong sense of unreality.
Millions of corpses, that kind of tragedy, not in it, can't be similar at all!
The group led the horses and carefully walked through the battlefield, and the phosphorus fire reflected everyone's faces in a blue color. Here, it seems that you can forget to breathe.
Not far from the place where the war was once the worst, there are pontoon bridges on the left and right sides of the Baigou River, and they are only three or four miles away from Xiao Yan and them at most. The torches on the bridge were blazing, illuminating the water near the pontoon bridge with a red glow. Rows of long wooden piles were propped up under the bridge, which was a device to prevent the fireboat from drifting down the river and burning the bridge. On both sides of the pontoon bridge, there are fires, and the Liao soldiers guarding the pontoon bridge are talking and laughing in a low voice around the fire.
These bright and flickering figures are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is still those Liao people who are hidden in the dark, one person and two horses, with bows and knives, no armor, and come and go like the wind! Only this continuous corpse, on both sides of the Baigou River, stretching out for dozens of miles, will make them avoid it a little!
Finally, the sound of the rushing water of the Baigou River was heard in front, the Baigou River was not very wide, and the river beach was also very narrow. The people in front stopped there, and the people behind followed, although there were only about twenty people, but they were also a very conspicuous mass on the river beach. Although they are all well-trained war horses, and they are all titled, the snort of the horse still seems to be able to be heard far away!
Everyone at this time, the nerves are tensed.
Xiao Yan only felt that his legs were weak, and there was only one thought at this time, he was with a little mute, was it right or wrong?
At this time, Xiao Yan only felt that he was in a cold sweat, and his clammy palms were warm, but it was the little mute's little hand that took him. Looking back, I could only see the little mute star-like eyes.
All the way, the little mute was silent, just following closely.
Maybe the little mute, stronger than I thought..................
Xiao Yan held the little mute's hand and smiled at her reluctantly.
On the river beach where they were, there are also some remnants of the pontoon bridge erected by the Song army that day, this pontoon bridge has been overfired, except for a little bridge deck near the river beach with wooden piles, the bridge deck supported by small boats in the center of the river has long been gone. On the side of the remaining bridge piles, there are several hanging half-rotting corpses with heavy loads. Guo Rong waved his hand slightly, and one of his subordinates had already entered the water silently, putting a rope made of cowhide on a remaining bridge pile. Then I saw that the subordinate parted the splash and swam towards the opposite side, everyone saw that he was not in the dark, and the sound of the water seemed to sound in everyone's heart!
From time to time, everyone looked at the Liao army pontoon bridges in the distance on both sides, and then looked ahead. I don't know how long it took, but I saw the long leather rope shake, slowly pulled up from the river, and then secured. Guo Rong did not hesitate to urge the white eagle to go down the river, touched the leather rope, tried hard to see if it was firm, she turned around and made a gesture to everyone, then held the leather rope with both hands and walked towards the other side of the river.
Although the Baigou River is not wide, the water flow is very rapid in summer, and the white eagle is handsome, and it is washed away from time to time by the water. I saw her hands staggered forward, and in the blink of an eye, a little half had passed.
The knights of the Changsheng Army went down the river one by one, Xiao Yan was in the middle, and the little mute followed him closely. Among the several people, it was Niu Gao who had the best water nature, and he followed behind the little mute, ready to help at any time.
Xiao Yan rode a horse before he went into the water, and he felt that the river water was cold and penetrated into the texture. I couldn't help but tremble, and looked back at the little mute, who was still smiling at himself. The horse had to cross the river, but he couldn't afford it too much, and the little mute had to rely on himself. It can only be arranged before and after to protect the people who take care of her.
After pulling Piso a few steps forward, the hip horse finally sank into the river, put his head on the water, and swam with his hooves. Xiao Yan originally thought that Guo Rong and they were too careful when they pulled up the piso, and the horse could have been swimming! Riding on a horse, it passed in style. Who knows that only after entering the water can I understand that the undercurrent of the Baigou River is turbulent, and the people and horses are a little uncertain in it. Constantly deviating from the direction, if it weren't for this piso, who knows where it would slide! Get a little closer to the pontoon bridges on both sides, and you might be spotted!
The cold river water kept hitting the body and face, and the healthy horse under the crotch rowed hard in the water, and the horse's head swayed restlessly, wanting to neigh but was blocked by the title, just desperately moving forward. In the middle of it, I just felt that the paddling sound was amazingly loud! The hand holding the cowhide rope was also grinded painfully, and I only felt that my arms were sore and numb for a while.
Can the little mute hold up?
Xiao Yan tried to turn around and go back, and saw the little mute trying to pull the piso, following her closely, her two thin arms were just trembling, and when she saw herself turn around, she was still in the mood to laugh. Then he turned his head and took a deep look at the mountains and rivers behind him.
The surroundings were so dark that Xiao Yan couldn't see what was hidden in her eyes when she turned around.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yan felt a shock in his body, but it was the mount under his crotch that stepped on the bottom of the river, and the healthy horse stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river and struggled forward, but it was much louder than the sound of the water just now, and he was almost stumbling forward. Xiao Yan was already soaked, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
This is Da Song! Traveling to this era, I finally set foot in the land of the Great Song Dynasty!
This is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the dark world of the Middle Ages. This is also known as the place of weakness and poverty. This is a place that makes countless future generations of history readers leisurely fascinated, and sighs for countless future generations of history readers!
It is said that after Yashan, there is no China. So what should the real China look like?
Now that you are in this era, it is really difficult to have a sense of belonging to the Liao State or something. But this Great Song Dynasty is a place where I naturally thought I should settle down here!
-- This qiē has nothing to do with reason, it is purely emotional.
The front hooves of the healthy horse under the crotch stepped on the riverbank, jumped hard, and was already on the riverbank. On the river beach, Guo Rong and the others were already waiting on their horses, frowning and just watching the situation of crossing the river. Seeing Xiao Yan coming up, it was obvious that Guo Rong and they breathed a sigh of relief, in the final analysis, they were all supporting roles in this trip, and only Xiao Yan was the protagonist! Several victorious sergeants rushed up and helped Xiao Yan dismount. After Xiao Yan came down, he broke free of their hands and just looked back at the little mute. The little mute's hands were already shaking desperately, and Niu Gao grabbed Piso, desperately trying to get closer to help her. But the man was in the water, but the horse did not listen to the call, and could not go ahead of him. I was so anxious that I just opened my eyes, but I couldn't shout.
Seeing this, several victorious sergeants immediately went into the water, desperately reaching out to pick up the little mute. At this time, the little mute raised his head and smiled in the direction of Xiao Yan and let go of his hand.
With a plop, Xiao Yan jumped into the river without thinking about it, and with a strong run, he actually went out a long way. Reaching out and grabbing it desperately, he grabbed a leather rope in his hand, which was the reins of the little mute's horse! Then his body was also tightened, and he was grabbed by several large hands. Desperately dragging them towards the shore. The little mute hugged the horse's neck tightly, held Xiao Yan's hand in the water, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something. Xiao Yan didn't have the heart to pay attention at this time, and with the pull of others, he paddled desperately, just walking towards the shore.
The loud sound of the water finally alarmed the Liao army on the pontoon bridge a few miles away on both sides, and they saw small figures standing up and looking hard in this direction. Someone was still running around on the bridge deck, lighting more torches.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had been pulled ashore, and where he came into his eyes, was Guo Rong's angry face: "You are stupid! The little mute has no strength, it is right to let go and hold the horse's neck without making a sound, she is almost to the shore, how far can she float? Pull it back casually, what kind of hero are you? ”
Yes? What did Lao Tzu do wrong? Nobody taught me............
Xiao Yan was lying there all over, and before his brain turned a corner, he was already picked up by Guo Rong: "Get on the horse, ready to go!" ”
The rest of the people who crossed the river also sped up, and Guo Rong and the others just got on their horses and anxiously watched the uneasy sound of the pontoon bridges on both sides. The torches are burning more and more, and they are already shining in the shadows. The little mute also went ashore, just looking at Xiao Yan apologetically. Yue Fei and Niu Gao all came over and had already pulled out the long knife in his hand. Just waiting uneasily.
On the pontoon bridge in the distance, a shout finally came, and it came and hit everyone's hearts! The man of the Chang Shengjun who was still in the middle of the river waved his hand vigorously: "Miss, go!" ”
Guo Rong didn't move there with a white face, just waiting for the last person to finish.
Xiao Yan looked at her, Guo Rong, as the daughter of Guo Yaoshi, was sassy and affectionate, and she was even better than a man!
The final wait was so long that it seemed like it would never be able to wait, when the last horse had finished crossing and shook its head. Guo Rong had already whispered: "Go!" ”
Then she glared at Xiao Yan fiercely: "Stupid! ”
