Chapter 107: Preparations for the Battle in Front

If you want to know who she is, if you want to know more about this woman, you have to live.

The chatter after the reunion soon ended, and the details of the process were put aside for the time being, King Zhao had died is the current result, and saving King Lu is the most urgent thing for everyone.

Mrs. Wu's letter was put away, and the terrain was laid out on the table against the map.

"King Lu's side won't last long." Wu Ya'er said, "There are ancient Great Walls on the left and right, and Ling Xun has arranged a defense, it's not that we can't repel them, it's that we don't have time." ”

Lao Hu and the others looked solemn, and the previous laughter was put away.

"We still have too few people." Lao Hu sighed.

"The boss has already received the news, right?" Xu Yue asked.

Then to the north is where the Mobei Zhenwu Army is, according to Wu Ya'er's arrangement, Liang Zhen kicked away the original Jiedu envoy, controlled the Mobei Zhenwu Army, and did not come to the capital and the hinterland of the Central Plains, while dividing troops to guard the remnants of the Xiongnu on the border, while besieging Fanyang, the old nest of Ankang Mountain.

If you want reinforcements, the Zhenwu army is the most convenient one recently.

"The boss has received the news and mobilized seven thousand soldiers and horses to come to Huaiyuan." Someone replied, "But it will take time." ”

Wu Ya'er stretched out her hand and paddled between the two stones: "The fastest way now is to cross the Wuding River." ”

The people in the room were startled.

Look at the blank space between the two stones on the table, and then look at a long, thin line on the map.

The real Wuding River is not so inconspicuous, before you reach the river, you can hear the rumbling sound, and the river water after the hot summer is like a fat horse that has been raised for a winter.

This is a dangerous place, but despite this, Ling Xun is also stationed here, and they have only approached the Wuding River after they defeated these defenses in the previous battle.

"I don't know if there are rebels on the other side?" Lao Hu said, standing on a high raised stone and looking at the opposite side, the undulating slope on the opposite side blocked the view.

Now, except for the Jingluo army that retreated to Huaiyuan with King Lu, almost all the soldiers and horses in Lingzhou have rebelled with Ling Xun.

"What's so terrible about the rebel defense." One man muttered, "The river is much more terrible than people." ”

He looked at the stone wall that seemed to be hanging under his feet, and the muddy river was rushing and jumping and circling, and he was dizzy and unsteady after only a few glances.

"How did this go?"

He was not the only one who raised this kind of question, and thousands of troops and horses had never been afraid, but at this time, he followed Wu Ya'er to the Dingyuan River, but he didn't even dare to take a step forward.

Only Lao Hu and the other followed Wu Ya'er to the stone wall by the river.

The other man was visibly unable to stand, and the tower-like man staggered to sit down like a child, his hands still clutching the stone.

"The river is very deep, the current is fast, there are no bridges on the river, there are no ferries nearby, and there are no boats." Lao Hu stammered.

Because the water is not suitable for boating, no one has ever thought of crossing the river from here.

How did they get through the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses?

Wu Ya'er looked at the river and stretched out his hand to gesture: "I think some people take the rope to cross first, set up a few ropes on the river, and then everyone slides the rope and swings over, and the horses stay here, after passing, there are rebels who rob the rebels, and if they don't, they march on foot, even if they are on foot, it is faster than detouring outside....."

"No, don't wait a minute, don't think that far ahead." Lao Hu grabbed Wu Ya'er's arm and glared, "Let's talk about how to cross the water first, I can't swim, most of us don't know how to swim." ”

The Zhenwu army is in Mobei, can endure the cold, can endure the wind and sand, and can fight viciously with the Xiongnu on the unobstructed grassland, but the big rivers have never been seen, at most they only step in the ditch, bathe and wash the horses.

"Raven, can you swim?" The man sitting on the stone asked.

Wu Ya'er looked at the river like a tiger jumping and roaring: "When I was a child, I was ... Fell into the river, fluttered and swam through, anyway, he didn't die, he guess he would. ”

He withdrew his gaze to the others.

"It's really sad, but it's our last chance." He said, "If you look for more than 3,000 people, it will be enough to gather a dozen people." ”

He jumped off the stone wall and landed on the dry ground, sending dust and smoke to the ground.

"I'm one."

.......

.......

After the war, the fortress became noisy, accompanied by wooden carts pulling huge urns past, and soldiers and horses carrying buckets running back and forth.

"What is this for?" Jiang Ming came out of the room and asked.

The entourage who was squatting at the door and watching the excitement hurriedly stood up: "It's like boiling water for cooking, maybe it's going to stew meat, entertain us." ”

Jiang Ming snorted: "I'm not hungry for you, so I'm worried about eating." ”

"They're like they're playing in the water." One man said, lifting his chin at the center of the fort, "I saw several soldiers with wet hair walking by. ”

There was a loud laugh from the other side of the voice, it seemed to be a pity and seemed to be ridiculed, Jiang Ming couldn't help but be curious: "Look at it." ”

There were more than a dozen large urns in an open space in the fortress, and with a pop a few stripped soldiers jumped in and squatted, and the water instantly did not reach the top of their heads, and on the other side there was a large pit, and buckets of water were poured into it, and with an order, a few slick soldiers also jumped in and began to flutter in all sorts of ways.

From time to time, there are soldiers in the water tank who stand up, or hold their faces blue, or cough continuously, and there is a lot of noise in the puddle.....

Jiang Ming and the others were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask the soldiers around them, "What is this for?" Do you have time to compete in the army? ”

Jiang Ming and the others are entourage, and they are very conspicuous in the fortress without wearing military uniforms, and the soldiers next to them looked at them curiously, and said briskly: "They are going to choose to be pioneers who can swim, and there are many people who have signed up, and they will all be screened to see who really can." ”

"Choosing to be a pioneer in water?" Jiang Mingdao turned his head to look in the direction of Dingyuan River, and instantly understood.

The entourage next to him also laughed, and the noisy fluttering laughter in the audience said: "This is not water." ”

Jiang Ming touched his beard and thought for a moment: "The young lady can be debt-free this time." ”

......

......

"Although more than 1,000 people have signed up, this group of rabbit cubs are all talking big."

Hu Aqi stood indoors with the list, holding a pen and drawing circles and forks.

"In the end, seventeen or eighteen can be regarded as passing."

Wu Ya'er was undressing her armor, and nodded when she heard this: "Seventeen or eighteen people can cross the river is enough." ”

Hu Aqi nodded, put the pen in his mouth and closed the roster: "Then I'll let them prepare, and cross the river immediately while it's still dark." After speaking, he thought of something to look at Wu Crow, "But, Crow, haven't you tested it yet?" ”

Wu Ya'er was going to personally lead the team across the river.

Hearing the action of unloading his armor when asked about him, he paused slightly: "What am I testing?" ”

Hu Aqi was a little hesitant: "You said that you knew water when you were a child, but we haven't had water here for so many years, will you still be able to?" ”

The other generals also reacted and nodded their heads and asked.

Wu Ya'er interrupted them with a smile, and took off her armor and put it on the table: "If you learn it, you can't forget it." While tying his cuffs, he comforted everyone again, "Don't worry, I can't die in the water." ”

Hu Aqi shuddered when he thought of the river he had seen before: "The river is really terrible, okay, then I'll go and prepare the rope, crows, you must be careful." ”

He turned to leave, and a soldier outside the door said loudly, "The young lady's butler is here." ”

Ginger name? What to do at this time? Say goodbye? is busy, really no eyesight, everyone in the room glanced at each other, Wu Ya'er had already said loudly, please.

Jiang Ming walked forward with a smile: "You are all here." ”

Like an old farmer and a man, it seems that the next sentence is about to ask when the meal will begin.

Hu Aqi said solemnly: "Brother Jiang, we didn't bring baggage, everyone can eat whatever they have on the spot, and we won't entertain you specially." ”

Xu Yue glared at Hu Aqi, Jiang Ming didn't mind the joke, and still smiled: "We have eaten, and the jerky we brought is enough." ”

Hearing the meat, Hu Aqi couldn't help but smack his lips, and they ate the dried meat they brought from Mobei when they were in the capital...... These people go out so far and bring meat with them, and they are extravagant.

Wu Ya'er interrupted Hu Aqi's nonsense and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that we are going to choose soldiers and horses to cross the river, so we recommend ourselves." Jiang Ming was no longer idle, and smiled, "Last time, I borrowed 3,000 soldiers, and this time I will borrow 3,000 soldiers from us." ”

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant.

Or 3,000 soldiers and horses?

Hu Aqi looked at him with a wink, looked the old farmer up and down, and said, "How many of you are there?" ”

The old peasant stood up straight, stretched out his hand in front of him and turned it in reverse, with a smile on his simple face: "Ten people." ”

(Someone asked about the map, the reference basis is the map of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the small gnats have been released in the book review area, I remember one or two mistakes, the others are similar, Ankang Mountain is in the range of Qinhuangdao, King Zhao is in the direction of Shandong, King Lu is almost in the north of Ningxia, Mobei Zhenwu is the piece of Inner Mongolia, roughly like this, some small place names are made up by themselves, and the big places have basically not changed.) )
