Chapter 256: Heavenly Danger and Cold Water River
The reaction of the victorious army was very fast, beyond Lu Mingyu's expectations, hearing this, Lu Mingyu stood up violently: "Throw away all the grain and grass, everyone retreat quickly."
The voice fell, he picked up his sword, turned over his horse without hesitation, and walked away in embarrassment.
In the end, Liang Yuan did not leave Lu Mingyu behind, Lu Mingyu was too alert, and was frightened by Yu Duxiu several times, and refused to fight head-on with the Great Victory Empire at all.
"This Lu Mingyu's guts are too small" Looking at the letter in his hand, Liang Yuan muttered.
Yu Duxiu sat aside, sneering in his heart: "It's not that Lu Mingyu is timid, but that he was frightened by my Qimen Dunjia Great Array." But there is no need to say this, lest others hear it and think that they are showing off.
Liang Yuan put down the letter in his hand, looked at the map on the desk, and said after a long time: "The mountains and rivers of this Dayan Empire are treacherous, the roads are difficult, and we will face the cold water river of Dayan in the next pass."
Yu Duxiu didn't speak, now Liang Yuan's army is the leader, what does the other party do, just follow behind, most of the karma is carried by Liang Yuan, Yu Duxiu just wants to quietly absorb the power of the calamity, but he doesn't want to be the first bird, the first bird will die quickly.
"Pass the order, the army will be repaired for a day, and it will be set up tomorrow morning, and it must cross the Hanshui River as soon as possible and go straight to the hinterland of Dayan."
This cold water river is the last barrier of Dayan, if the cold water river is crossed, then Dayan is like a girl with open arms, let others ravage.
If he can destroy the Great Yan supported by Taiyuan Dao, his Liang Yuan's credit must be one of the biggest people in Taiping Dao, and he will be a god in the future, and the god position will not be too low.
Yu Duxiu had no opinion, and on the second day, the army opened, but after a day's work, he came to the bank of the Hanshui River.
Looking at the other side from afar, he saw a cold river across the river, and the camp tent of Dayan was stationed on the opposite side. The Great Yan army and horses were waiting for the battle, obviously preparing for a long time.
This cold water river is turbulent, the river is 100 zhang wide, even if it is much wider than the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in later generations, it is a real natural hazard.
Looking at the cold water river, Liang Yuan frowned, the breadth of this cold water river was beyond his expectations, he thought that this cold water river was just a small river, but he never thought that it was actually a mighty river.
"Senior brother. We came in a hurry, and we didn't prepare a big boat, how should this be?" Liang Yuan stood on the bank of the Hanshui River, looking at the turbulent water, and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes.
"There are many ancient trees in the deep mountains here, cut some down and make them into oars," Yu Duxiu said indifferently.
Liang Yuan shook his head, pointed to the neatly arranged big boats on the opposite side and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, an emergency boat made of trees." I'm afraid that we won't be able to withstand the other party's collision, and the most important thing is that we have 100,000 military horses, how many trees do we have to cut down."
Yu Duxiu looks at this turbulence. A faint cold flickering in his eyes: "Then cast a spell to freeze this river."
Liang Yuan still shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, the military here is too strong, this river is hundreds of zhang wide, and the river is turbulent." No matter how great the supernatural power is, it is difficult to seal it for a long time, and the time of the seal is too short. Before all the soldiers passed, that part of the soldiers would inevitably fall into the river and die, and if only some of the soldiers passed, it would be useless, just to deliver food to the other side."
After a pause, Liang Yuan took out a book scroll from his arms and said: "This ancient legend says that this river has incredible power, it is cold to the bone, if a person falls into it, it will not take half an hour, even if he is not drowned, he will be frozen to death."
Yu Duxiu heard the words and took the strange ambition, and after reading it, he was looking at the river, at this time the scorching sun was in the sky, but he saw the cold air rising above the river, obviously this strange ambition was true.
Yu Duxiu frowned: "Although I can ride the clouds and fog, I am not proficient in dancing waves, and my junior brother is a person of ancient inheritance, so it is better to enter this river and walk on it."
Liang Yuan hesitated a little when he heard this, then nodded: "Senior brother, protect the Dharma for me."
As he spoke, he saw Liang Yuan plunge into the river with a thud, swimming slightly in the river, revealing his head.
"You disperse the water spell, there is a water spell to protect your body, how to experience the coldness of the river" Yu Duxiu's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach Liang Yuan's ears.
Liang Yuan stood in the river, hesitated slightly, and dispersed his mana, but saw that the water three feet away instantly rushed over, and a cold sense surged over, Liang Yuan shivered violently, as if he had fallen into the river in the cold winter.
Although Liang Yuan was a monk, he did not leave the category of the mortal womb of the flesh, and after three breaths, he saw Liang Yuan rise to the sky, pinched the magic trick, and the water on his body instantly dried up.
"Senior brother, this water is so cold, our army wants to swim over, I'm afraid it's unrealistic" Liang Yuan trembled and came to Yu Duxiu's side, even if the scorching sun in the sky couldn't bring him the slightest warmth.
Looking at the surging river, the black and white light flashed in Yu Duxiu's eyes, and then said, "The monk of Taiyuan Dao on the opposite side has arrived."
"Oh" Liang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the opposite side sharply, but he couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
A pair of eyes turned to look at Yu Duxiu suspiciously, Yu Duxiu naturally didn't explain the technique of looking at qi to Liang Yuan, just looked at the river and was silent.
After a long time, Yu Duxiu said: "Senior brother knows that there is a kind of bridge in the world, called pontoon bridge."
Liang Yuan shook his head: "There are thousands of bridges in this world, but I have never heard of pontoon bridges, there was a bridge in this cold water river before, but it was demolished by the sergeant of that Dayan, I am afraid that we will cross the river."
After a pause, feeling that the topic was a little far, Liang Yuan hurriedly said, "Senior brother, I don't know what this pontoon bridge is?"
Yu Duxiu sighed slightly: "The so-called pontoon bridge is a bridge suspended on the water."
"Is there such a bridge in the world?" Liang Yuan said in surprise.
Yu Duxiu naturally didn't explain to Liang Yuan, but was thinking about the possibility of building a pontoon bridge, but after a while, he felt that the pontoon bridge was too troublesome, but said: "This place is all thousand-year-old trees, why don't you cut them down and lay them on the river to help the army cross the river?"
Liang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he ordered someone to cut down a big tree, which was as thick as three people hugging him, but he saw that the big tree was thrown into the water, suspended in the water and did not sink to the bottom, and the next moment Liang Yuan took a step and landed on the big tree.
"Plop", without accident Liang Yuan fell into the water, and after pouring a mouthful of cold water into his mouth, he quickly pinched the trick to clear the water: "Senior brother, this tree can float people, but this big tree is a smooth thing, and it will roll and fall into the river at the slightest movement, and the soldiers will not be able to walk on it at all."
Yu Duxiu looked at the trees that were floating in the river, surging with the waves, and were about to rush downstream.
"This is also a problem" Yu Duxiu glanced around the trees, and after a while, he said to Liang Yuan: "Senior brother, how much have you learned the art of my Taiping Dao talisman?"
Liang Yuan was puzzled, and hesitated slightly: "There are always seven or eight points."
"Why don't you use the art of the talisman to turn the boat into a boat," Yu Duxiu said.
Liang Yuan's face was bitter, there are 100,000 troops here, and there are countless grains and grasses, if you want to cross them all, I am afraid that there are not thousands of boats.
This is a vast project, mana will continue to be consumed with the drawing of talismans, although Liang Yuan is a master of the younger generation, but if you want to complete such a big project, it is not a simple matter.
"Senior brother, don't be joking, this won't work at all, if the other party takes the opportunity to attack and kill, the two armies are fighting, the army is arrogant, my cultivation is shallow, if the talisman is washed away, it will be the end of the boat being destroyed and people will die, no, no" Liang Yuan's head shook like a rattle.
Yu Duxiu was also speechless, and said with a slight anger in his mouth: "This is not good, that is not good, then you should obediently go to the boat."
"Senior brother, senior brother, don't worry" Seeing that Yu Duxiu was about to throw off his sleeves and leave, Liang Yuan hurriedly followed and said: "Senior brother, your magic is all over the sky, and your magic power is vast, and it is not a big deal to freeze this river for a moment or three."
Yu Duxiu paused and looked at Liang Yuan: "It turns out that you fought this idea."
Liang Yuan smiled: "Senior brother, it's up to you, our grain and grass can't support it for a few days, and when I build the boat, I'm afraid that the grain and grass will be eaten up long ago, where will everyone still have the strength to fight." (To be continued......)
