Chapter 130: Escape quickly
On the swallow rock, Zhang Zheng carried a knife and waited for it.
When it was time to pass, although there was still no movement under the swallow rock, Zhang Zheng was extremely patient.
The first two midnight sneak attacks were all ugly before and after, and now, it's still early.
The ugliness has passed, and there is still no movement under Yanziji, Zhang Zheng raised a shield, covered his head, approached the battlement, and listened carefully.
The drums were still beating, the river was beating against the swallows, and the wind was blowing through the cracks in the wood, whistling high and low.
It's quiet as if no one is there.
Zhang Zheng's suspicion suddenly rose, and he was about to let someone light a torch and throw it down, when the swallow was under the rock, and the place where the boat board was piled up in the afternoon, the fire suddenly rose.
"Alert!" Zhang Zheng hurriedly retreated and shouted loudly.
The flames exploded, accompanied by thick smoke, apparently poured oil, and threw a lot of smoking green branches.
Zhang Zheng stared at the rising black smoke, and his breathing was a little hurried.
Such a fire forced them back, but the Qi army couldn't get close!
What is this for? A plan to confuse the enemy? Are they going to take a detour? There are still two roads, he has already laid down the men and horses, blocked to death, they have already tried, and they will retreat at the touch of a button, what is this going to do?
Zhang Zheng's sweat came out.
"Lift water! Put out the fire! Zhang Zheng shouted loudly.
We can't wait for this fire to burn out, then it's too late!
The defenders on the Swallow Rock moved very quickly, carrying buckets of water and pouring them on the burning fire.
Among the few boats left by Huang Yanming, there was not much tung oil at all, except for the one poured on the bottom of the boat, the rest was all put in a large cauldron, and the slowly burning candles burned out, and the tung oil was ignited, and the oil was burned out. was poured down by a stream of water from the top of the swallow rock, and the fire was almost extinguished.
Only the light of the fire did not make a sound, Zhang Zheng had already sensed that something was wrong, held the shield, hurried over, leaned to the battlement, and looked down cautiously by the light of the fire at this point and that:
There was no one on the beach that was originally full of Qi troops.
Five or six pack horses, blindfolded, spun in circles, dragging drumsticks down and down on the drums.
Zhang Zheng was stunned for a while before he reacted.
Qi Jun, run away!
……………………
Go back and inform the black horse and others who answered, and the black horse is in the front.
The sun had just set on the horizon, and the black horse, covered in a hot sweat, rushed to the place where they disembarked.
After getting off the horse, the black horse tied the horse to a small tree, flicked his sleeves and fanned the wind, and walked sideways, a picture of the stupid son of a squire with a lot of money and a lot of money, and looked around with a momentum.
Seeing that the black horse turned around, raised his feet high, and stepped on a stone to stand firm, well, there was no one around, and the big head of the horse stopped at a shot and hurriedly shook the reins and caught up.
The swantiao and grasshoppers who followed behind the big head also caught up, Xiao Luzi was the last to ride, and the black horse saw that everyone had arrived, and waved his hand magnificently, "You watch, follow me." ”
The black horse and the strip had just rushed down a few steps, next to a big stone, a large pile of messy grass was lifted, and under the messy grass, a smiling face was revealed, looking at the black horse and the strip that were about to cut at him, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Master Ma Ma!" Own! Own! ”
Hearing the shouting of Ma Ye, the black horse breathed a sigh of relief, but the knife was not returned, pointed to the face, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
"Send the big boss at night, and Ma Ye, a few of you come over, and there are small ones.
Commander Shao asked the younger ones to stay here, and when Ma Ye and you come back, so that you can report the letter, and how many of you will come back? ”
The man under the grass stood up and shook the dirt as he spoke.
From where he had climbed out to the river, three or four more men came out from behind the stones, under the trees, and through the bushes.
"Scared me." The dark horse put away the knife, "When you say that, it's really your own person, your surname?" ”
"Don't be expensive, surnamed Jiang, Jiang Zhou." Jiang Zhou shook off the soil on his body, bent down to take a knife, and then pulled out a fish skin suit.
"That's what happened." The dark horse was full of posture, "The boss asked a few of us to come back first to report the news, so that you Commander Shao could prepare to respond, saying that it was a night trip tonight, and it should be there around dawn tomorrow."
General Qiao said that there were 20,000 people, and there must be dozens of boats.
By the way, how do you report the news? Got a boat? You can't use a boat, this river is bare, there is nothing to do, the boat is too conspicuous. ”
"What kind of boat do you want, Ma Ye, look, a few of us are wearing fish skin suits, just swim over, it's not a big deal." Jiang Zhou's tone was relaxed.
"Swim over in one go?" Channeling stuck his head over and interjected.
"You have to see where you are, as long as you don't go directly to the other side of the Jiajiang River, to the corner of the other side, or to the south beach, it has to be one breath." Jiang Zhou was quite proud.
His gang was named by Commander Shao to stay here because of the water, he and his partners, at least in Commander Shao's department, are second to none!
"I'm all in one breath! Swim to the south beach, and it is only two cups of tea, without fish skin clothes. "I think he is more powerful, using fish skin clothes and not using fish skin clothes, that's two things!
"Nantantou, that's a maximum of two cups of tea, to Nantantou, at most half an hour of rest, you can continue to cross the Jiajiang River, and there will be two cups of tea." Jiang Zhou showed no weakness.
"Why don't we try it?" Channeling rubbed his fingers.
"Is this time for the competition?" The dark horse pan was full of horizontal eyes.
It's really ignorant, it's really worrying!
Channeling his neck shrunk, but he muttered unconvinced: "Anyway, I have to swim over, by the way." ”
"Just a few of us can go over, this master ......" Jiang Zhou smiled and nodded, it was indeed a matter of convenience.
"We have to go over, our boss said, the message that is swimming around is too delaying.
Let the channeling go over, wait at the south beach, and wait for the people here to arrive, Xiao Luzi learned the bird's call, and the channeling replied. Both sides will know it, and that's it.
You can't hear this bird's call, but the boss said it, so you have to let the scurry go over and listen. The dark horse interrupted Jiang Zhou's words and explained seriously.
"That's okay, I'll ...... with you" Jiang Zhou looked at the channel, he didn't know what to call him, his surname was channeling? I haven't heard of anyone with a surname.
"You can just call me a channel!" Channeling immediately understood.
For his surname, it's embarrassing, it's not one or two people.
"Lao Zhang, give your fish skin suit to Uncle Channeling, you stay here and wait for the boat.
Master Channel, the three of us will go over, you stay at the beachhead, and the two of us will go to the other side of the Jiajiang River, and the boat led by Shao will be moored on the other side of the South Beach. Jiang Zhou said while putting on a fish skin suit.
Channeling strip took the fish skin suit and put it on his body.
The dark horse wrinkled his eyebrows, looked at the three of them put on their fish skin suits, and replied seriously: "Cheng, I think this is very good." ”
……………………
Huang Yanming's department, which withdrew from Yanziji, ran away for half an hour, and from the front, one team after another passed the military order:
The marshal sent a boat to meet and cross the river at the mouth of the river, and rushed to the mouth of the river before dawn, so that he could cross the river safely.
This military order made all the soldiers full of energy at once, and the speed of the march was unprecedented.
Sure enough, when it came time to escape, he ran the fastest.
There was still a long time before dawn, and Huang Yanming's most advanced department had already arrived at the place where he got on the boat.
Li Sangrou rode a horse, walked in front, and saw the black horse and Xiao Luzi and others running to meet him, and hurriedly signaled to Xiao Luzi.
Xiao Luzi turned around and rushed to the river, put his fingers in his mouth, and let out a series of crisp bird calls, a moment, another string, and after this string, two bird calls came from the other side of the river immediately.
The black horse crossed his waist and looked happy, "Okay! Heard it. ”
Three quarters of an hour later, on the dark river, a large boat approached the shore, lowered the gangplank, and a dozen sailors carried the long gangplank, and laid a passage the same width as the gangplank on the mudflat, which was full of sharp stones.
Commander Shao stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Chu Xing, who rushed onto the boat, and seeing that he was going to stand and command, he hurriedly waved his hand back, "Go back, go back!" All the way back, fast! ”
Thirty or forty boats, connected from end to end, with a gangplank in the middle, are connected in a string, from the south of the river to the north bank of the river.
Chu Xing dragged his injured leg and rushed straight ahead, jumping over thirty or forty boats all the way, rushing to the last boat, watching the soldiers run over one by one, counting the number of people in a boat, dragging his legs to the front of a boat, and then counting people, staring at not being in a hurry or not being chaotic.
The last boat was full of people, and immediately pulled out the gangplank and turned north.
As soon as four or five boats had been gone, the sky was white.
Chu Xing shouted desperately, and the soldiers ran fast.
Li Sangrou squinted at the sky, which was getting brighter and brighter, and turned her head to look at Dachang, "Take out the crossbow." ”
Dachang hummed, turned around and walked to the pack horse, first took out a heavy quiver, handed it to the black horse, then took two crossbows from the other pack horse, put another heavy quiver on his back, walked next to Li Sangrou, pulled out a crossbow, and handed it to Li Sangrou.
Qiao An took Yun Mengwei and lined up in a formation, guarding the outside of the foot soldiers who rushed onto the boat like flowing water.
The sun rises higher and higher, and the long fleet gets shorter and shorter.
Li Sangrou turned back again, and there were only six boats.
"It's coming, it's coming! , it's really here! There are a lot of people, thousands! There's one more to come, damn it! Xiao Luzi, who was standing on a tall tree, suddenly shouted.
"Come down, get into the boat, and take the horses." Li Sangrou raised her voice and jumped off the horse.
Dachang and Heima also dismounted, followed Li Sangrou, walked over, and stood more than ten steps in front of Yun Mengwei's queue.
"Hey, do we have that flag belt with you?" Li Sangrou just stood firm, looked back at Dachang and asked.
"Brought it." Dachang untied the mulberry flag wrapped around the outside of the quiver.
Qiao An reacted very quickly, and hurriedly turned his head to signal, and the captain of the Yunmeng guard in the back row jumped off the horse, took a spear from the hand of a running foot soldier, and threw it at Qiao An, Qiao An took it and handed it to Da Chang.
Dachang put the flag on the barrel of the gun, took more than a dozen steps forward, the tip of the gun went down, and stabbed it firmly on the ground.
The bright red silk was blown by the wind and spread in the wind.
The Liang army who rushed towards the light horse, saw the mulberry flag facing the wind from a distance, and screamed, hurriedly reined in the horse, and hurriedly turned around and rushed back.
Li Sangrou looked back, and there were only the last two teams of foot soldiers.
"Get on board, too." Li Sangrou motioned to Qiao An.
Qiao An groaned slightly, and immediately waved his hand to order Yun Mengwei to get on the boat.
Yun Mengwei and the others moved very fast, rushed to the gangplank, dismounted and led the horse, two people in a row, row after row, rushed onto the springboard, and rushed straight to the boat.
The Liang army, who was frightened back by the mulberry banner, quickly turned around and came back, urged and scolded by the commander behind, spread as far as possible, and carefully pressed up.
Li Sang Rouping raised the steel crossbow, and the first row of light horsemen immediately stopped their horses, but they didn't dare to turn around, and the commander was carrying a knife behind, and he was even more dead when he turned around.
In a moment, the light rider shook the reins of the rope and approached.
Li Sangrou pulled the trigger, and the four or five light horsemen who could not completely disperse on the left wing fell off their horses in response.
The light cavalry team neighed at the horses, reined in their horses again, turned around, and ran backwards, and the commander who was behind cut down two or three men in a row, and finally stopped the rout, reluctantly straightened out of formation, and pressed forward again.
The commander shouted from behind him to hurry up, rush, and he was alone, but no one paid attention.
Compared with the mulberry word killing god with a strong crossbow in front of him, the commander's knife is too blunt, anyway, he will definitely not rush to the front, and he will die if he rushes forward!
Li Sangrou changed a steel crossbow, held it in his hand, and rode lightly at the Liang army, who was striding on the spot.
If they don't move, she doesn't move.
Li Sangrou listened to the sound of horses' hooves behind her and ordered, "The black horse goes first." ”
The dark horse turned around and ran.
In the light cavalry team on the opposite side, several horses rushed out, Li Sangrou pulled the trigger, and just rushed out of half of the horse's body of two or three light horses, the horses rushed forward, the people fell backwards, fell off the horse, were dragged by the horses, and dragged out a blood line.
The light cavalry of the Liang army once again stagnated and did not dare to move.
Dachang glanced back, and only the last dozen or so people didn't get on the boat.
"Withdraw!" Joan's voice came.
When he got on the boat, he climbed the mast railing, stared at the Nanliang light horse, and estimated the position of the Nanliang light horse and Li Sangrou.
Li Sangrou has 400 steps, and it is only about ten breaths.
"Go often!" Li Sangrou shouted without looking back.
Dachang is simply direct, turn around and run.
There was a commotion on the opposite side of the Liang army's light horses, and before they could start rushing, Li Sangrou pulled the trigger, and while the five or six light horsemen on the opposite side fell off their horses, Li Sangrou turned around and ran.
After the light cavalry on the opposite side was instantly confused, he hurriedly rode his horse, stretched his bow and set up arrows, whether he could shoot or not, he would shoot first.
When Da Chang ran on the springboard, Li Sangrou caught up.
Dachang's springboard was stepped on by Dachang in one step, and the bend of the pressure was about to break, and then it bounced up suddenly, and with the power of the springboard, Dachang jumped up and pounced on the deck.
Li Sangrou rushed onto another gangplank, and when Dachang was face down, and when he fell heavily on the deck, Li Sangrou also rushed onto the boat.
Behind him, the Liang army's light cavalry was already less than 100 paces.
At the bow of the boat, more than a dozen Yun Mengwei stood side by side, stretching their bows and arrows, shooting at the Liang army's light cavalry.
Five hundred Yun Mengwei are selected from all over the Qi army, the elite is selected from the elite, round by round, the sharpshooter with two stone bows, dozens or hundreds, before the Liang army's arrows hit the ship, a round of arrows came out, and the first dozen or so light horsemen fell off their horses.
The first row of Yun Mengwei immediately squatted down after shooting, and the second row of strong archers let go of their arrows.
Li Sangrou stepped on the boat with one foot, and more than a dozen pennies immediately supported in unison, and the boat retreated like an arrow from the string, and several gangplanks on the boat fell into the river with a bang.
