Volume 1 Section 70 Hitting the Middle Stream (1)
Jiang Feng couldn't remember how many times he had quietly stood up and looked east, but to his disappointment, there was still no sound in the dark night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
From time to time, the impatient breath of the war horses was carefully suppressed by the soldiers, and they had been dry on the bank of the Huaishui for three hours, but there was still no movement on the other side of the river.
"No, it shouldn't be a problem. Pulling the grass roots, stuffing them in his mouth, chewing slowly, the slightly bitter smell of grass made Jiang Feng's somewhat irritable mood slowly calm down.
The stakes are high, and he has to be cautious.
The news from the ant thief should be quite reliable, otherwise he would not have used such a risky way to tell himself that Jiang Feng believed in the person he fancied.
Three days ago, Han Baling began to collect civilian boats along the Huaishui River, and the time should be crossed in these two days, and yesterday there was no drama in waiting, and today it is three hours, and it is past noon, and the sun is gradually going westward, if it goes on like this, today it is in vain.
You must know that nearly 30,000 ant thieves crossed the river, and even if hundreds of boats were collected, it would be a fantasy if there were no three or five hours.
Jiang Feng glanced at Qin Zaidao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, this guy is now acting more calm than himself, and it seems that he has calculated that the ant thief will definitely cross the river from the front.
Jiang Feng was a little unsure of this guy's thoughts, it seemed that Xu's Shuangshu had a lot of intentions to woo him, and this guy was also very ambiguous, and he didn't know what his idea was.
But now Jiang Feng doesn't have much heart to think about this, everything is based on the premise that Gu Shi survived this battle, otherwise everything is empty talk.
He needed to achieve a perfect victory in the Battle of Gushi, and Jiang Feng knew that this was the quickest and most effective way for him to gain a foothold in this army, so he fought in person against public opinion.
Waiting is undoubtedly the hardest part, and only when that moment comes, will you truly feel the pleasure of releasing the resentment and depression that have accumulated for a long time, and you will feel that all the patience, waiting, and preparation before it is worth it.
A squirming serpentine swimming sound quickly turned into a sound of broken footsteps, Jiang Feng used his full eyesight, and there was a rapid shaking in the bushes in front of him, Qin Zaidao and the guy with a solemn face on Jiang Feng's right immediately opened their eyes and woke up.
Under the flickering torches, a humanoid object painted in muddy yellow mixed with green and brown flecks appeared ten meters away, and the crossbowman's arrows were already on the string.
"It's Huang Shunming!" "The only remaining veteran in the old army scout camp in Gwangju. The mottled figure finally stood up and walked swiftly towards it.
"How is it, Shunming?" Jiang Feng already felt some joy from the other party's tiredness and excitement.
"My lord, here it is, here it is, and when I return I have found nearly thirty ships ashore, and at least more than five hundred men have landed and are lining up, all infantry, and no horses have been found. They also sent scouts, but the search was not large. The scout's swarthy face was also full of excitement, such an important news was discovered by his party, and according to the military regulations determined when the Gushi Army was rebuilt, he could record at least one or two turns.
"Oh?" Jiang Feng must be in his heart, not as he expected, there are no cavalry in Han Baling's department, which is a good sign, "Are there only so many ships on the first wave of docking?"
"My lord, the distance is too far for us to look at in detail, but we can only roughly estimate that at least a large number of ship shadows are arriving one after another when I leave, and it is estimated that it will not be less than the number of ships that have docked before. Gurlum poured a burst of cold water, and the scout wiped his mouth and gasped a few times before adding: "Jiao Yuanji is still waiting there, I'll come back first to report the news." ”
"Again, how long will it take to cross the river?" Jiang Feng turned his head and asked Qin Zaidao, who had already begun to tighten his waist and armor.
"It depends on the situation, now the Huaishui water is shallow and narrow, the water flow is gentle, if there is no accident, it should be possible to go back and forth in half an hour. Qin Zaidao replied with a deep groan.
"How long did it take you to come back?" Jiang Feng nodded and turned his gaze back to the scout.
"In less than half an hour, my subordinates came straight by taking a shortcut, and there were no scruples in the night. ”
"In this way, the other party should now start the second wave. Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows, "Assuming that a round of ant thieves can have 1,500 people cross, and about 6,000 people will cross the river in three hours, what do you two think?"
Qin Zaidao glanced at the stone-like armor on Jiang Feng's left, "What does Lord He think?"
"I am on the orders of the third prince, but I am on the orders of Lord Jiang. The armor seemed to move reluctantly, and then said: "But we are not familiar with the terrain in the night, so I am afraid it is better to be safe." ”
Jiang Feng scolded in his heart, a sneak attack in the dark night is undoubtedly the most beneficial for the cavalry, this guy seems to be obedient, but he is cautious in his bones, but the number of cavalry in his hands is too small, if he can't let this guy go into battle willingly, once there is any wind and grass after the battle, this guy leads the team to slip away, it will be a disaster.
"Lord He, you must have heard the report of our scouts just now, this section of the river bank is gentle and narrow, which is suitable for our cavalry to charge, and the other party has no cavalry, although we are not familiar with the terrain, but we have done several simulation exercises on the map before, it should not be a problem. Jiang Feng said patiently: "This dark night is as strange as the ant thief, I am afraid that we will have the advantage, today is the time for us to make contributions, if we can return with a great victory, the 30,000 people of Gushi will definitely ask for merit for the Ezhou Iron Cavalry, I don't know what the Lord wants?"
"Hehe, Lord Jiang said that it would be as good as it was, and He Mou obeyed the order, but He Mou said it first, and the third prince handed over the five hundred cavalry to He, then he wanted He Mou to bring the five hundred cavalry back to Ezhou, if the war was unfavorable, Hugh blamed He Mou for retiring first. ”
The words of the armor soldier that are not soft or hard made Jiang Feng's heart sink, this guy does not eat soft and hard, no wonder Du Li left these five hundred horses so readily, but he has to find a way to give full play to the combat power of these five hundred horses.
"What Lord He said is very true, Jiang and Du Sangongzi have this agreement, but I also bother to ask Lord He to abide by the agreement, don't be panicked at the slightest disturbance, first, he has fallen into the name of the Ezhou soldiers, and secondly, if this is a mistake, I am afraid that Du Sangongzi will be difficult to explain when he goes back. ”
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Although this lord can rest assured, these five hundred cavalry are all led by He Mou, and if there is no order from He Mou on the battlefield, he will never retreat without authorization. The cavalry leader said proudly.
"That's good, then please ask Lord He to prepare first, and we'll set off immediately. ”
Then He went to prepare, waiting for the adult's order. ”
Looking at the background of the disappearance of the armor, a strange color flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes, but he couldn't blame himself, but you sent yourself to the door, and these five hundred horses were destined to be dedicated to Gushi.
