At noon on June 18, Hu Biao and others once again came to the edge of the Baigou River; As long as they crossed this river, they would officially enter the territory of Liao and enter the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Thankfully, it seems that the victorious army in Zhuozhou City behind him has some antipathy.

Because Yelu Dashi was seriously injured and could not be a director, the tens of thousands of Liao soldiers who were originally deployed along the Baigou River have now returned to Yanjing City in a hurry.

In this way, Hu Biao and they don't have to worry about being attacked by the Liao soldiers when they cross the river.

Unfortunately, it is the height of summer, and the Baigou River is in the most abundant water period of the year.

What's even worse is that those Liao soldiers were a little inappropriate when they left, and directly burned several pontoon bridges in the river that were originally built to be built clean.

Looking at the river that is now almost 100 meters wide, in the river water that is rushing down, everyone suddenly has a headache.

Undoubtedly, this is a difficult problem for them to be assigned by the system.

Otherwise, if the modern plane is from Xiongxian to Tangshan, if you take the high-speed between the two places, the distance is only 300 kilometers.

If there is no difficulty, the system will definitely not give them, so there is more than half a month to travel.

After a while, the old snake looked at the river in front of him and proposed:

"Lao Hu, in our team, there are many carts loaded with baggage, and there is no way to cross without building a bridge, not even after making some rafts to cross the river.

However, if the bridge is rebuilt, the amount of work is too large.

When the Song and Liao garrisoned here before, almost all the surrounding timber was given to Huo Huo, and the nearest forest had to be poured back ten miles to the outside.

Waiting until enough trees are cut down again, and then bringing them back to rebuild the bridge, it will take at least a week with our manpower.

For so long, where have we had so much spare time.

Why don't we look along the river bank and see if we can find a little bit of narrowness in the river and reduce the amount of work? ”

"Okay, don't take it at night and go upstream and downstream to have a look, the others just took advantage of such a time to quickly deal with the thigh wound and bury the pot to cook."

After thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Hu Biao's mouth.

So the army, which had been on the road for half a day, stopped and began to bury the pot and make rice, Yu Hanfeng and the singer did not collect at night, and rode war horses to investigate in two different directions along the upper and lower reaches of the riverbank.

When the food was cooked, the people also rushed back again.

Don't look at this for a short period of time, but the people who rode the war horse to explore all the way, the upstream and downstream directions combined, a total of at least twenty miles away.

Unfortunately, in the midst of such a process, they did not find a suitable place.

Or to put it another way, the river is a little narrower in some places, but it also means that the river is deeper and flows more rapidly.

If you build a bridge in this kind of place, the amount of work is larger, and it will take longer.

Faced with such a difficult problem of how to cross the river, it finally fell on Hu Biao's brain.

Because of some choices and trade-offs, only Hu Biao is qualified to make them.

Hurriedly pulled a bowl of small rice with cured meat, and after filling his stomach, Hu Biao smoked a trumpet cigarette while thinking hard in his head.

In the end, he hurried across the river to leave enough time to deal with the problems that might arise along the way, and such a thought occupied the absolute upper hand in his brain.

Fiercely slammed the cigarette butt in his mouth, and spit out the old man in general.

Hu Biao scolded in his mouth: "What's special! All those carts are gone, and the supplies loaded on them should be carried as much as possible on the back of an empty war horse.

War horses can swim originally, as long as the brothers who can swim cross the river with a rope first, and after temporarily connecting a few ropes connecting the two banks, everyone should be able to cross the river with the rope. ”

After hearing such an order, Lao Hei instinctively wanted to object.

In their team, there are indeed a number of spare war horses, almost more than 500, almost one of them has a ready war horse.

But how much supplies can an empty war horse, after being loaded with everyone's armor and blades, maintain the necessary mobility?

And once you cross the river, you are immediately in an enemy-occupied area.

If you don't have enough baggage, if you want to replenish in an unfamiliar area, the process must be quite difficult, and I really feel a little worried.

It's just that if those big cars don't give up, there is no other better way.

In the end, he could only keep his mouth shut and acquiesce in Hu Biao's decision.

In the following time, a few men with good water skills crossed the river with some wood very easily, tied a total of three ropes to the remaining pontoon stakes at both ends, and completed the construction of the ropes.

And relying on these three ropes, all the people of the whole army and the war horses crossed the Baigou River at about five o'clock in the afternoon.

However, looking at the fact that it was suddenly much less, at most only one-fifth of the previous material reserves, in the hearts of Hu Biao and everyone else, it immediately cast a shadow.

In my heart, I was inexplicably a little flustered.

******

After nightfall, piles of bonfires were lit, so that the hearts of everyone who had been on the road for a day were immediately warmed.

I just thought about the food and forage they carried, which was decreasing at a visible rate every day, and that there was still a considerable distance from their destination.

For a while, in the temporary period of the entire Xuange camp, the atmosphere was a little low.

At this moment, it is already June 21, which is equivalent to two days and two nights after Hu Biao and they crossed the Baigou River.

There are only nine days left before the time when the limit must be rushed to Pingzhou.

Don't look at it now, two days have passed, and Hu Biao and the others have not traveled too far since they entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

They are still in Zhuozhou, and then they have to pass through Youzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places before they can reach Pingzhou, which is required by the mission.

The reason for this is because there are so many places that they need to take back and forth along the way.

Since there was an anti-victorious army Guo Yaoshi, in order to prevent the Liao soldiers from attacking him in advance, some sentry posts were arranged in many important places outside Zhuozhou.

Hu Biao and the others naturally didn't want their whereabouts, and after they found out, they caused more chaos.

Therefore, under the guidance of Qian Fu, a guide, he kept detouring; As a result, I went around and around, and although I successfully bypassed those checkpoints, the efficiency of the journey was really not good.

As for tonight, the place where they camped was a deserted village.

Originally, in Qian Fu's statement, this village called Zhangjiacun has at least more than 200 people, basically all of whom are Han people from the north surnamed Zhang.

But after arriving here today, in addition to the hundreds of corpses that had long since decomposed, there was only one man who was stupid, and he couldn't ask a word for a long time.

Judging from all the traces, it is obvious that he was slaughtered a few days ago.

In addition, as long as there was anything to eat in the village, whether it was grain, livestock, chickens and ducks, they were all robbed, and the Xuange camp did not even replenish any grain and grass.

On the contrary, because Hu Biao was thinking, the Han people in the north were also Han people.

After everyone dug a big pit and buried more than 100 corpses together, everyone became more and more tired and choked.

Guarding in front of a fire, now seeing that his morale is a little low; Although his own heart was also depressed, he also knew that he must not go on like this.

Something has to be done to boost everyone's morale.

As for how to improve, forget about the drama of "The White-Haired Girl".

This thing has been performed for so many consecutive shows, not to mention that Ah Li, Cangguan and others are about to vomit, he is about to vomit; But if he didn't act in "The White-Haired Girl", Hu Biao also thought of another good way.

After he got up, he looked at Yue Fei, who was currently in front of another fire behind him, looking at the Great Song version of "Ji Xiao's New Book", which was very fascinating.

In the mouth, his own invitation was issued:

"Yue Dutou, it's boring tonight anyway, why don't we learn a thing or two in marksmanship~"

As soon as I heard this, everyone immediately became energetic......
