Chapter 196: Crossing the Weishui

At the end of July, the Jin army marched south all the way to capture the three cities of Xianyu Lianshuo, Dachuan and Qintong with the momentum of jackals and tigers.

Yes, the Jin Kingdom, which has always been fun to tease the small country of Xianyu, seems to be serious this time, and after capturing the three cities, the main general of the Jin army took advantage of the great increase in morale to launch a fierce attack on Luyang, a small city next to Qintong.

Although the magistrate of Luyang City had resisted to the death, the small Luyang City garrison of less than 5,000 was naturally unable to resist the menacing Jin army, so in the case of man-made swords and I was the fish and meat, Luyang City completely fell on the afternoon of the Jin army's attack, and the magistrate who had taken 5,000 defenders to desperately resist the Jin army also returned to nothingness with the soul of 5,000 heroes.

After the victorious Jin army entered the city, in order to control Luyang City, they began to burn, kill, loot and mutilate the people.

At this moment, the scorching sun that witnessed all sins was in the sky, and sprinkled a blood-hot light on the land, falling through the broken banner on those who had passed below, like a silent mourning.

Time seems to slow down here, the smoke of gunpowder fills the broken and bloody streets, people are frightened to cover their heads and flee around, inadvertently stepping on the quiet flow of blood on the ground, the Jin army is arrogantly holding the bloody butcher knife in his hand in the reflection of blood, struggling to chase the people in Luyang City who have no ability to resist on this long street, so that the fresh lives are finally completely disappeared in the heart-rending screams, and the scene looks like hell on earth. And the chief general of the Jin army is the life-seeking rakshasa in hell, a face splashed with blood spots with a yin smile just stood in the pile of dead people, the scimitar in his hand has long been dyed red by blood, in the blazing air countless people's blood is slowly sliding along the blade to the tip of the knife, and after condensing into an overwhelmed blood bead, it finally fell into a blood river under his feet with a "snap", and after smashing out a small demon flower, it quickly returned to calm, as if nothing happened.

However, after these villains achieved this decisive victory, God seemed to be angry.

A sudden storm made the morale of the Jin army slackened, and now it is only entrenched in Luyang City, and the main general of the Jin army is even more absurd to rely on the Tiangao Emperor to sing in Luyang City every night, as if the cowardly emperor who expected Xianyu did not dare to fight back.

If you want to reclaim the city, this is a perfect time.

In this way, less than two days after receiving the news of the Jin army's complete victory, the 130,000 Xianyu army with Qian Xu and Yin Linxi as the main deputy commanders arrived in Weishui, which was less than a hundred miles away from Luyang City.

The heavy rain in the past few days has made the water level of the Weishui River rise sharply at this time, and the 130,000 troops are stationed at the edge of the Weishui, except for a rolling river that has no end in sight, the only thing that can be seen on the surface of the Weishui River is a suspension bridge that has almost been washed away by the surging river, the bridge body has been broken in several places, and the middle part has even been immersed in the water of the Yellow River, and occasionally a few pieces of broken driftwood float up are swallowed up by the turbid waves in a blink of an eye.

In this case, the crossing of the river by 130,000 troops has become the biggest problem at the moment.

"Your Highness, seeing that there is Luyang City in front of us, but now we are separated by this broken river, what do you say to do now?"

Qian Xu, who was dressed in black clothes and iron armor, frowned, his eyes were firmly fixed on a tall figure standing on the bank of Weishui, but he saw that at this time, he was also frowning at the turbulent Weishui River in front of him, as if he was thinking about something, and he was tied up high and tightly attached to the dark robe of the same style as Qian Xu, which made him long and handsome, but the corners of the robe were blown and swelled by the manic wind, and there was a "poof" sound from time to time.

After a long time, he turned his eyes back and looked at Qian Xu with a sad face, and his thin pink lips pulled up a smile, "What?" If you talk about the experience of leading troops, you have more General Qian than me, why do you ask me? ”

Qian Xu was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's all caused by the torrential rain in the past few days." ”

"I think some people have become sluggish because they have more people in their heads now, right, like the general's wife?" Yin Linxi's silent joke seemed to show something when he lowered his eyes.

Then he took his robe and squatted on the ground.

Qian Xu forgot to answer for a while when he saw him behave like this, and only took a closer look curiously, but saw that Yin Linxi was staring at a few thin sorrels at his feet.

"What do you want to do?"

Someone in my ear wondered.

Yin Linxi didn't squeak, just reached out and picked a few sorrel leaves and dropped them on the Weishui River, and then saw the turbid waves of the river in front of him surging with a few sorrel leaves, rolling up a few powerful whirlpools, and only stayed in front of people for a moment before disappearing into the place where water and sky communicate with the uninhibited river.

"The water is unfathomable, the current is fast, the suspension bridge is crumbling, and we must not risk crossing the river like this."

"What do you think you should do?"

"Let me think about it first," Yin Linxi lowered his head and pondered.

At this moment, a melodious minor tone slowly came from the top of the river.

"Someone's coming!"

Years of experience in battlefield combat made Qian Xu highly tense his nerves at this moment, and he was about to hide with Yin Linxi, but Yin Linxi raised his hand to stop him, and indifferently glanced at the soldiers who were waiting not far away, and a trace of hope gradually rose in his eyes with the singing voice that was getting closer and closer.

Qian Xu didn't know why, but he was in a hurry, "Your Highness, do you know that doing so will expose our whereabouts, if the Jin army knows, then we will inevitably have a lot of unnecessary casualties!" ”

"Don't worry," Yin Linxi chuckled, his eyes fixed on the upstream, "There will be a way to cross the river soon!" ”

Hearing him say this, Qian Xu was even more confused, and secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that these two princes wanted to send the 130,000 army to the opposite side with a few fishermen's bamboo rafts? Isn't that a joke?

Qian Xu moved his mouth and was about to speak, but he suddenly saw a group of people standing on pigs and holding bamboo poles from the gap between the water and the shore on both sides of the suspension bridge? And in such a turbulent river, they can still stand firmly, and the group of pigs under their feet are motionless and don't look like they are swimming, are they masters?

"Slow down!"

He was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Yin Linxi, who was beside him, suddenly exhaled that Qian Xu suddenly came back to his senses.

Looking at those who came to him with the "pig", Qian Xu finally reacted, where is this pig, it is obviously a sheepskin raft!

Most of the people holding the sheepskin raft were elderly, and the raft was probably carrying some melons, fruits and vegetables, etc., and when they heard Yin Linxi shouting at them, they were also very enthusiastic to come forward, "Two sons, this rainy day is urgent, but you want to cross the river?" ”

Yin Linxi smiled quietly, "That's true, but old man, your raft is a little small for us." ”

"That's easy! It's just that the elder glanced at Yin Linxi up and down, and then said without hesitation, "You are soldiers, right?" Crossing the river is going to fight with the Jin army and recapture the four cities? ”

Hearing this, Qian Xu was shocked, and immediately twisted his eyebrows and secretly touched the hilt of the sword.

Yin Linxi smiled, glanced back at him meaningfully, and then turned his head and nodded to the elder.

"That's right!" The elder looked up and smiled, "Then you will send someone to follow me, and the old man will send you there for free!" ”

"Then thank you, old man!"

Yin Linxi bowed his hand to the elder in a decent manner, and then turned to Qian Xu and said, "Then I will bother the general to run!" ”

"Me?" Qian Xu stretched his eyes wide and pointed at himself.

Yin Linxi kept smiling, "Oh yes, I forgot that you are the boss now, why don't I go?" ”

For some reason, from Yin Linxi's eyes, Qian Xu seemed to see a deadly threat, which made him involuntarily feel a chill in his heart, "Uh, no, no, I'll go!" ”

Qian Xu laughed twice, and finally took a few people to jump on the sheepskin raft and go with the elder down the river.

"Your Highness, are those people credible? Just by their words, what if they are people with ulterior motives? You must know that now that the Jin army is pressing, who among ordinary people dares to come out blatantly? ”

When the sheepskin raft completely disappeared from sight, Yin Linxi suddenly sneered, and glanced at Zhao Zhou, who was standing beside him at some point, "If that's the case, we have 130,000 people, are we afraid that we won't be able to deal with those few people?" ”

"But if this is a trap, then General Qian is not"

"Don't worry, I believe in Qian Xu, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he will definitely be able to get out of the way!"

Yin Linxi said lightly and began to observe the situation on the other side, and Zhao Zhou expressed deep sympathy for Qian Xu in his heart, it seems that these two highnesses really completely regard General Qian as a strong meat shield!

"Inform me to go down, when we cross the river later, everyone is divided into nine groups, one group crosses, the first group immediately set fire to the plain on the other side of the river, and the second group, the third group and the fourth group respectively take the river bank as the retreat line and shoot arrows in the east, south and north triangles! The others will not move first! ”

"Fire? Arrows? Zhao Zhou was puzzled, "But the Jin army's slacking off in the city at this time is a good time for us to start, isn't it obvious that Your Highness is exposing our own position by doing this?" ”

Yin Linxi didn't explain, just raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Zhou.

Zhao Zhou was stunned, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the master's gourd, but he was forced to retreat to convey the order due to the military order.

For a long time, Yin Linxi stood by the Weishui, looking at the opposite bank with his dark eyes like an ancient pond, only to see the dark clouds in the sky in the distance, as if a heavy rain was coming.

In this way, Qian Xu, you have to come back soon.

Wonderful!
