Chapter 247: Heartache
The army went all the way south, and after leaving the border of Chuyang Kingdom, it gathered with the three thousand cavalry, and with the carriage, Tang Xiao did not ride a horse again, and Qiaoyun also entered the carriage with her in order to take care of her.
Today is the ninth day of leaving Jinglin, and in two days, they can reach the river basin that appears on the map, because of the different geographical locations, they don't need to break through the second level, they can directly cross the river from here, and they can go south until the third level!
Two days were fleeting, and when they reached the river, it was already noon. In order to prepare for crossing the river, Tang Xiao ordered everyone to camp on the spot, fortunately, the terrain here is wide, and there is no need to worry about camping!
This river is downstream, there are too many tributaries in the middle, and a lot of the river water has been diverted to other river basins, so there is basically no water here, only some puddles, although they are puddles, but the depth of several puddles is not yet known, so people need to go over to try it!
Xie Fengzhi asked puzzledly: "Princess, why do we want to cross the river from here?" ”
Tang smiled: "Because you don't have to fight the enemy army to cross the river from here, and you don't have to attack that checkpoint, it also reduces the sacrifice of the soldiers." ”
Xie Fengzhi immediately began to admire her, "The princess is really amazingly intelligent, and her subordinates really admire her!" ”
Tang Xiao glanced at him.
What is this? It's just a little bit of a cleverness!
Tang smiled: "You go and call General Xiao!" ”
Xie Fengzhi arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”
After a while, Xie Fengzhi went to call Xiao Wei over.
Xiao Wei saluted.
Tang Xiao looked at him sideways and said, "General Xiao, you send a few people to test the depth of those puddles, if it is very deep, go and cut down some trees and build on them to cross the river, if it is not deep, then you don't need to camp here!" ”
Xiao Wei arched his hand and said: "Yes, my subordinates will go and order!" ”
After Xiao Wei left, Feng Junmo came over.
"I thought the river was wide, but I didn't expect it to be the case." Feng Junmo put his right hand behind him and stood proudly beside Tang Xiao.
"I thought we needed to build a bamboo raft to cross the river, God is really helping us, hehe!" Don grinned.
At this time, Tang Xiao saw that three soldiers went to the middle of the river, and he didn't know if they were stupid, so they didn't use wooden sticks and other tools to test the water directly.
She shook her head.
There were more than a dozen puddles in front of her, and they were connected within a few feet, and those who were close to her could see the depth, and those who were far away from her could not be seen.
Just when she was about to talk to Feng Junmo, she found that one of the three soldiers in the past was missing, and when she looked closely, she saw a soldier fall into a puddle, slapping on the water!
Tang Xiao's eyebrows twisted, and she trotted over, because there was a puddle, in order not to fall in, she went around directly, and after a while, she arrived at the side of those soldiers.
The soldier who had fallen had been pulled up by the other two.
"Princess, the water here is too deep!" The soldier who fell in was already soaking wet, probably choking on a few mouthfuls of water, and still coughing violently.
Feng Junmo came to Tang Xiao's side with a gloomy face, and wanted to reprimand her, but when he saw her looking at the soldier who fell into the water with a worried face, he swallowed the words in his mouth!
"I see!"
Tang Xiao looked at the puddle in front of him, although the puddle was only three feet wide, but the water was green, and there was no bottom, no need to try, he knew that it was very deep, and then looked at the three puddles in front of him, and when he saw that the water surface was still green, he sighed!
It seems that you still have to cut down some trees and put them on them to get through, after all, the ditches around here are so wide, and there is a puddle less than a few feet, if you don't build a tree, don't think about it, whether it is a carriage or a horse, they will fall into the pit!
