Chapter 57: Crossing the Quagmire

Gu Tiandao's request was very simple, that is, to ask Gu Batian for the first corps of the Silver Cavalry Army, the corps led by Gu Shuang.

This condition was that Gu Tiandao had already had this idea when he asked Gu Batian to make himself the commander, since Gu Batian promised to let him select 12,000 people from the Silver Cavalry Army, then how could he give up this opportunity and let Gu Shuang be by his side.

Of course, this is just an inquiry, even if Gu Batian doesn't agree, he will also take them out of here.

However, to the surprise of Gu Tiandao and everyone, Gu Batian did not veto, but readily agreed.

Everyone didn't know that at this time, in Gu Batian's heart, he already had another plan, and now his attitude towards Gu Tiandao had taken a hundred and eighty degree turn, and he would not only not ignore Gu Tiandao now, but would also do everything in his power to help him

In this way, Gu Tiandao's army is also preliminarily formed, with more than 18,000 people in the first division of the army directly under it, plus 12,000 people selected from the silver cavalry army, and now, his army has 30,000 people, and these are all soldiers left behind after the sneak attack of the Qin army, they are the elite of the elite, with strong adaptability and combat ability, comparable to an army of 50,000 or 60,000.

Successfully obtained the position of commander, although there is no rank, only a military rank, but for this he is not worried about the difficulty of convincing the public, in the future, the soldiers he leads will definitely become the most powerful corps in the defense of the country and even the entire Southern Wilderness.

The god-killing rat did not break its promise, since Lin Batian had already agreed to its conditions, naturally, it also decided to help everyone get through this impassable swamp for a mile.

After the god-killing rat fell into the quagmire of the ancient heavenly path, it did not leave, and kept looking for the ancient heavenly path in this quagmire, but inadvertently, it discovered the dark passage in this quagmire.

It is said to be a secret road, but it is actually an iron bridge.

However, this iron bridge is not an ordinary iron bridge, but an iron bridge built under a mud swamp, completely covered by muddy water.

The iron bridge consisted of four thick iron chains, two on the top and two on the bottom, two of which were two meters wide and were ten centimeters away from the mire. When people pass over the iron bridge, the mud swamp just floods their thighs, and although it is still difficult to walk, at least they will not fall into the mud, and they can pass smoothly.

As long as you cross the iron bridge a mile away, the next quagmire will be much shallower.

After being guided by the god-killing rat, the group found the iron bridge buried in the mire, and the army divided into two columns and began a slow march.

More than 80,000 soldiers, lined up in groups of two, like a long dragon, Gu Tiandao and others walking in the first row had already gone to the opposite bank, but in the rear, there were still people waiting to cross the iron bridge.

After going ashore, Gu Tiandao sat on a cobblestone on the shore with a wheez, while Zhang Ying came behind him silently, pinching Lin Feng's shoulders and beating his back.

"Little warbler, you're tired too, sit down and rest for a while. "Gu Tiandao is not the kind of person who gets carried away, he will be tired, Zhang Ying is a woman, and he is also a magician, compared to him, Zhang Ying may be more tired, Zhang Ying is Zhang Xiao's granddaughter, Zhang Hu's own sister, even if it is to repay the favor, then you have to do your best to take care of her.

When Zhang Ying heard this, she hurriedly said, "Childe, I'm not tired. ”

As he spoke, he began to knead Gu Tiandao again.

Zhang Ying's technique is very in place, and Lin Feng feels that his bones are about to be soft, so he closes his eyes comfortably and enjoys it slowly.

However, at this time, the god-killing rat suddenly poked his head out of the placket on Lin Feng's chest, looked at the guards who were coming ashore one after another, he opened Lin Feng's placket, and climbed onto Lin Feng's shoulder.

"Ah,,"

Zhang Ying, who was kneading Gu Tiandao's shoulder, was startled by the sudden god-killing mouse, his face changed drastically, and a high-decibel cry blurted out.

After seeing clearly that it was a god-killing mouse, she reached out and patted her chest, glared at the god-killing mouse, and said, "Dead mouse, you won't say a word when you come out." ”

"Eh, is it my fault?" the god-killing rat humanely scratched the back of its head with its front paws, then shook its head, and instead brought one of its small heads to Gu Tiandao's ear, and he didn't know what he was saying.

The guards who had stopped because of Zhang Ying's exclamation, saw that Zhang Ying was fine, and did not pause anymore and continued to go ashore.

However, Gu Tiandao frowned at this time, turned his eyes to look at the god-killing rat, and said in a deep voice, "Is the news accurate?"

"I saw it with my own eyes"

"How many are there?"

"About 150,000 or 60,000. The god-killing rat thought for a moment and said.

At this time, Gu Tiandao was silent, but his brows also wrinkled deeper, after listening to the words of the Devouring God Mouse, he finally figured out why the Qin army didn't exterminate the remnants of the patriotic soldiers hiding in Muyang Mountain, it turned out that they had other plans.

After a while, he suddenly stood up and walked in front of Jiang Yan, who had already landed on the side.

Jiang Yan was also tired at this time, sitting on the ground and resting, when he suddenly saw Gu Tiandao coming, he asked suspiciously, "Tiandao, you,,"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Tiandao had already spoken, and said, "Uncle Jiang, the general has already gone ashore?"

Although Jiang Yan didn't know what Gu Tiandao meant by asking, he still stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods, and said, "I've already entered." ”

On the edge of the swamp was a forest, and the humidity in it was very heavy, and the space on the shore was not large, so as soon as Gu Batian came ashore, he took people into the woods, intending to pass through the woods and organize the army outside the woods.

Hearing this, Gu Tiandao frowned, turned around and walked towards the woods.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, but looking at Gu Tiandao's expression, he knew that something bad must have happened, so he immediately hurriedly stood up from the ground, caught up with Gu Tiandao, and asked, "Tiandao, did something happen?"

"Of course it's a big deal. Before Gu Tiandao could reply, the god-killing rat spoke first, and after Jiang Yan cast his puzzled gaze on it, the god-killing mouse continued, "The 150,000 people of the Qin army have crossed the swamp last night, you say that this is not a big deal." ”

In a word, Jiang Yan, who was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, stayed in place on the spot, and only came back to his senses after a while, he hurriedly strode to catch up with Gu Tiandao, and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Dao, what it said,"

"It's true. Jiang Yan hadn't finished asking, Gu Tiandao had already answered.

As he spoke, he shuttled through the woods.

There wasn't much time left to explain anything to Jiang Yan now, and now he had to pass this news to Gu Batian as soon as possible to see how he responded.

The 150,000 Qin army suddenly appeared in Fengming City, and it would definitely catch the defenders of Fengming City by surprise, Tianlei Army, plus the defenders of Fengming City's city walls were lax, maybe the Qin army could directly capture Fengming City and capture the lord of the country alive.

Gu Tiandao didn't want this beaked duck to fly away, and finally got the position of commander, but he didn't lose it for half a day without making achievements.

After getting the confirmation of Gu Tiandao, Jiang Yan turned around and ran out of the woods.

His actions made Gu Tiandao a little surprised, but it was just a little accident, at this time, Jiang Yan's actions were too lazy to care, and he couldn't control it, and now the most important thing is to pass the news to Gu Ba Genius.
