Xiaopingjin is also suitable for crossing the Yellow River.

It's just that it is located in the downstream of Mengjin, the terrain is gentle, and the water surface is wider than that of Mengjin.

In the recent days, two groups of men and horses have been fighting for life and death in Mengjin, and both sides have not divided their troops to come on both sides because of the limited number of ships.

In addition, after Liu Cheng arrived at Mengjin, he immediately began to use means to attract the attention of the thieves on the opposite side, so that the white wave thieves on the opposite side would have the idea of sending soldiers and horses to Xiaopingjin to garrison here at such a critical moment.

Therefore, it is still very safe here.

Of course, this refers to half a day ago.

Half a day ago, there were indeed no soldiers and horses stationed on the other side.

However, in the afternoon of this day, a force of about 300 men and horses galloped from Mengjin on the upper reaches of the opposite bank, and stationed on the other side of the river.

At this time, the night had fallen, and looking at some firelight from afar on the other side of the riverbank, Liu Cheng's face became solemn.

According to the information they originally obtained, they only need to fight against the Yellow River with peace of mind here, and they don't have to worry about the rest.

But now, with those people and horses on the other side, the danger factor of their crossing the river has skyrocketed!

While crossing the river, you also have to beware of being spotted by those on the other side.

Once these people discovered and passed the news to Meng Jin upstream, so that the people there were on guard, all the preparations and efforts they had made before would be in vain!

Moreover, it will turn this battle into a very protracted tug-of-war, constantly weakening the power of its own side.

This kind of situation is definitely not what Liu Cheng wants to see!

"Could it be that the white wave thieves guessed our plan, so they sent some people to defend the other side in such a hurry?"

On Liu Cheng's side, Li Jin said to Liu Cheng in a low voice.

Hearing this, Liu Cheng shook his head after a little thought.

"Probably not, if those white wave thieves really expected our plan, then they would not only send such a small number of people, but would need to send a lot of people.

It is impossible for this person to keep Xiao Pingjin.

This should indeed be a coincidence.

On the side of the white wave thief, someone happened to realize that Xiao Pingjin couldn't let it go, so he sent some people to come and garrison it.

When he saw that people and horses had crossed the river from here, he passed the word out......"

Li Jin heard this, thought about it, and nodded.

"That's how it should be."

He said.

"So what are we going to do next? Do you want to cross the river? ”

"To cross the river, the river must be crossed!

Meng Jin, I have already explained, tonight there will definitely be an attack on the White Wave Thief.

This should not lead to a change in the original battle plan. ”

Liu Cheng didn't think about it, so he gave a very certain answer directly.

"In that case, the last general asks to lead his troops to cross first!

After passing over, I can solve the obstructive guys on the other side! ”

Li Jin lowered his voice and asked for a battle.

Liu Cheng shook his head again and rejected it loudly.

"I'll do this thing, you lead the soldiers and horses here to cross, I lead the soldiers and horses to cross first, my water nature is better than Jinxian you."

Li Jin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "There is a big river in my Chengshi, I played in the river when I was a child, I am still quite water-based, but you were born in Chenggao, the terrain is northern, and the water-based should not be good." ”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he showed some smiles in the dark.

"It's just that you don't know me first, I'm a person who has been beaten back in the water before, and I can always show my chest and not let the water flood, and people give nicknames, small white stripes in the waves!"

Hearing Liu Cheng's words, although Li Jin was skeptical, he thought of his father-in-law's ability and his character who didn't like to brag, so he believed what his father-in-law said.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Then my lord, you should be careful, this is a big river, which is different from ordinary rivers. ”

Liu Cheng responded, and immediately got up and began to prepare.

After a while, Liu Cheng and the other twenty-nine carefully selected people who were good at paddling came to the edge of the Yellow River.

It's March, and it's not as cold and much warmer than before, but it's clearly not the time to get into the water.

But the war is important, and Liu Cheng and others can only choose to go into the water under such circumstances.

Standing on the edge of the Yellow River, he took off all the clothes and armor on his body, and was naked, and was blown by the wind blowing from the shore to the opposite bank, and he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

But even so, Liu Cheng still insisted on following him into the water and going to the other side of the soldiers together, taking off all the clothes and armor on his body.

On the one hand, these things are inherently heavy, and when they are immersed in water, they will become even heavier, causing many obstacles.

On the other hand, the water temperature is not high at this time, and if you go down in a warm state, the skin in a warm state will suddenly encounter a lot of water at a low temperature, and the skin will not have time to react at all, and it will not be able to enter a state similar to that kind of self-protection.

After taking off your clothes and going into the water, this will not be the case.

This is the main reason why winter swimmers want to strip themselves so naked in such cold weather.

After picking up some cold water with his hands and drenching his body, Liu Chengcheng took the lead in walking into the Yellow River.

Of course, he had something to carry.

In front of him was a bundle of reeds wrapped in sheepskin.

The reed pole is hollow and has a lot of buoyancy when thrown into the water.

Tie them into bundles and wrap them in sheepskin, cowhide, or cloth to make them a simple lifebuoy.

If you don't have sheepskins, it's just as good to tie them up with rope.

This method is known and used by people in the south, but not many people in the north know about it.

When Liu Cheng himself was before, he didn't know this method, and he didn't know how, this method that he never knew appeared in his mind like this.

However, Liu Cheng no longer feels strange about this.

After all, by this time, he had already accepted the fact that he had inherited the courage of the overlord.

Thinking about the fact that King Xiang was a native of Chu in history, he was good at water and suddenly knew this method, Liu Cheng didn't think it was strange.

I took it out and used it right away......

……

When Liu Cheng led his troops to gallop all the way to Xiaopingjin Pass, an army of more than 20,000 people also set out from Hanoi and went all the way along the Yellow River to Mengjin upstream.

As the chief general of this army, Zhang Miao was in a very good mood at this time.

Because he felt that he was about to make a lot of contributions.

This time the battle plan, Yuan Benchu's confidant Xu Ziyuan had already told him in detail, and he knew what he was going to do.

For this time, leading the soldiers and horses, marching into Mengjin, and joining forces with the White Wave Thieves to resist Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, Zhang Miao had enough confidence.

The white wave thieves are not regular soldiers and horses, and they can all fight well with Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses here in Mengjin.

How could he, a regular army of more than 20,000 people, not be able to compete with Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses?

Not to mention, he didn't come here to fight against Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses alone, but to join forces with the White Wave Thief.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Miao was reluctant to lead his troops into battle, and he had a deep understanding of how important soldiers and horses were, and he wanted to take the opportunity to preserve his strength.

Only by keeping your own soldiers and horses well, and getting a lot of them, can you get more benefits and benefits.

It's just that I can't bear Yuan Shao, as well as Xu You, who represents Yuan Shao, after a lot of analysis and telling.

Later, when Xu You and Xu Ziyuan began to kill him Zhang Miao and Liu Dai, kill Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, and divide up their soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and equipment, Zhang Miao had to agree.

After all, he is a little unreasonable in this matter......

Zhang Miao, who stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River overnight, lay in the big tent, listening to the rattling of the Yellow River, and some smiles gradually appeared on his face.

Although he was reluctant to bring troops to this time, he really started to do it and began to become confident.

After all, there is no Liu Cheng and Liu Kede here!

Liu Cheng, who was haunted by the god of soldiers, was there in Bishui Pass, not in Mengjin.

As long as there is no such guy who is not talking, just dealing with the rest of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, Zhang Miao is not worried at all......
