Chapter 629: Smuggling into the Liang River
The Lianghe River is a tributary of the Yellow River, originating from the Mongolian Plateau, winding from west to east, which happens to be located in the upper reaches of the Lianghe River.
Song Che stood at the mouth of the riverbank, drenched in heavy rain, holding a telescope, looking for the upper reaches of the Liang River.
"Tsk...... You know that there are two people, but you refuse to bring an extra umbrella, alas...... I really don't understand the world. Jiang Yuntian wiped a handful of water stains on his face, and looked at Ning Yehong, who was holding an umbrella for Song Che, and shook his head.
Ning Yehong snorted lightly: "You are not my husband." ”
Jiang Yuntian pouted: "You forgot that in Taizhou, when I attacked Majiazhuang at night, I also saved your life." ”
Ning Yehong thought for a while and smiled: "I did forget." ”
"Alas, it's a pity, ......it's a pity," Jiang Yuntian sighed lightly.
Ning Yehong asked, "What is a pity?" ”
Jiang Yuntian said: "I wanted to say that after my son was born, I would make a doll kiss with Lian'er, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will not work, and it will not work......
"Lian'er, don't marry your son."
"Not married? Your future father-in-law, I, but a first-class duke, the current son-in-law, and the mother of the family are golden branches and jade leaves, who else in the world can match your daughter except my son? ”
"That'...... Money! ”
Ning Yehong smiled and picked Song Che: "Just like him, be a door-to-door son-in-law." ”
Song Che said softly: "There is a word called 'things must be opposed', thinking that His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting in Jinling City always said that he would give birth to a son, but it turned out to be a daughter." The one in the princess's belly is about the same. ”
"It's the son."
"It's a daughter."
"It's the son! Son! A tall and mighty son like me! ”
"It's a daughter, it's a daughter, a daughter who is as tender as her mother!"
"Oh, don't quarrel, if it's a son, you will give it to Lian'er, and if it's a daughter, you will marry Qi'er, anyway, I have a dragon and phoenix fetus under my knees."
Her wishful thinking is the best.
After the joke.
"Hong'er, you go back first, I have a military plane to talk to the general." Song Che put away the binoculars and commanded softly.
"Umbrella for you?" Ning Yehong handed over the umbrella.
Song Che shook his head and smiled: "When it rains, your brain will be clearer." ”
Ning Yehong squeezed the corners of her mouth and left the riverbank with an umbrella.
"Why drive her away? I'm not an outsider. Jiang Yuntian asked.
Song Che said with a smile: "General Jiang can let these women enter the camp, which is already very magnanimous. ”
Jiang Yuntian said: "You mentioned this, I really want to give you some feedback, these Lang Jun behind you are so delicate that many soldiers think that they have a habit of breaking their sleeves." ”
"So a woman who is too beautiful, even if she pretends to be a man, will harm one party, right?" Song Che smiled and pointed to Chitong City, which was floating in the smoke and rain, and said, "After taking this city, I will place them here, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." ”
"What's your plan?"
"Water Attack."
Song Che pointed to the flowing Lianghe River and said: "Less than ten miles on the left flank of Chitong City is the Lianghe River and hills, where the riverbed is much higher than ours, once the embankment is blown up, the water can rush into Chitong City, not to mention how many people are drowned, at least it can flood a large area." ”
Jiang Yuntian pursed his lips and said: "Water is not more uncontrollable than fire, once the Lianghe River bursts, no one can guarantee where it will rush in the future, what if you injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred?" ”
Song Che shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this, no matter how turbulent the water flow of the Lianghe River is, it can't compare to the Yellow River, and the grassland is so vast, it can't flood far, let's blow up the embankment, and then withdraw the camp to the northeast for more than 20 miles, the northeast terrain is quite high, and the water should not be able to flood it." ”
Jiang Yuntian said: "What we can think of, the enemy should also be able to think of, they will definitely not let us get close easily." ”
"So let's give them a 'sound of the east and the west' first," Song Che said: "Tomorrow you will personally lead the troops, take these prisoners, and pretend to attack Chitong from the front to divert their attention, and then I will take the men and explosives, first cross to the other side of the river, then sneak into the hilly area, and then cross the river back to the right bank, and make a detour to avoid the ears and eyes of the Hu people; It doesn't take too many people to blow up the levee, just use my female swordsmen. ”
"Woman? Will it work? ”
"They are all well-trained, excellent in martial arts, and they happen to be petite, no one is more suitable than them, which is why I brought them to the barracks, who said that women are inferior to men?"
"Good! According to this plan, tomorrow we will flood Chitong City! ”
……
After going back, Song Che began to prepare, wrapped the gunpowder in three layers of oilcloth and three outer layers, and each person carried ten catties, divided into ten people's backs, that is, one hundred catties, which was enough to blow up a low hill.
The embankment doesn't need to be too wide, as the turbulent water will wash it bigger and bigger.
At night, Song Che took Nangong Yue and ten other female swordsmen to gallop in the direction of Wengcheng on fast horses, where there was a chain pontoon bridge built when crossing the river before, and it would be safer to cross the river from there.
When the night was ugly, the group successfully crossed the Liang River, and then followed the river bank, and then detoured to Chitong City.
At night, we arrived on the other side of the Daying River.
Song Che lit a small torch and shook it across the river, signaling that he could march in.
The flickering early morning is the best disguise, and the hazy rain and fog will make it difficult for the enemy to detect.
The army marched towards Chitong City, while Song Che slowed down, almost in sync with the army.
Half an hour later, when the sky was bright and the army arrived at the foot of Chitong City, Song Che and the others also abandoned their horses and began to climb the hills on foot.
When they climbed the hills, the sound of fighting was already heard in the direction of Chitong, and the siege began.
Song Che picked the narrowest river channel, about thirty paces, which could fully meet the range of the bow and crossbow.
Aiming at the other side of the river, he shot the tiger's claws several times in succession, and finally clasped the embankment tightly for the fourth time, and then straightened the rope to form a speed zipline from high to low.
"I'll teach you, first wrap a stick around the rope, then grab the stick with both hands, and slide down with the help of descending potential energy, and you can easily slide to the other side of the river."
Song Che used professional modern knowledge to explain to them how to rappel.
"Where do you need to go to such trouble?"
Lu Jingxiang took the lead, jumped lightly, put her toes on the rope, and then with the help of the elasticity of the rope, like a dragonfly touching water, she went to the other side of the river without jumping seven or eight steps.
Well, modern knowledge is not as light as ancient light!
