"The shopkeeper, since the construction of our White Snake Villa has been completed, there has been an endless stream of people who want to join the villa, most of them are people who work in our place, dragging their families with them. Even if the caravan has stopped now, the Baihugang market has also stopped, and after the blockade of the mountain villa is completed, the number of people on Baihugang still exceeds 30,000. Isn't it ......" Mao Shanying was a little worried that there were too many people on the mountain, which would affect Bing Sanzhang's plan.

"It's okay! That's fine!" Bing Sanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "As long as the people in the villa don't run around! Shui'er, the first battle tomorrow depends on your means!"

Shui'er smiled and nodded: "No problem!"

"I hope the vanguard officer will be able to hold on a little longer tomorrow!" Bing Sanzhang squinted and said with a smile.

Bing Sanzhang said with a smile: "In this way, it depends on how nervous the pioneer officer of tomorrow is." ”

At dawn the next day, the army pulled out the camp and hurried, and the vanguard officers Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the boundary of Baihugang in only three days. The rear army was only fifty miles away, and the two sides echoed back and forth.

"Report! The river ahead is blocking the way!"

Duan Pengju rode on his horse and looked into the distance, only to see the fog rising in front of him, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he asked, "How wide is the river?"

"The fog is too thick to see!" replied the herald, looking down. "The waiter sent a team into the water and there has been no response. ”

Duan Pengju nodded and said, "Since it is by the river, there must be a small boat nearby." Send people to look for the ferry from both sides of the river, and if you find the ferryman, bring it with you!"

"Yes!" the herald clenched his fists.

Deputy Pioneer Chen Zhu said expressionlessly: "My lord, at this time, it is better to send someone to swim to the other side first, but it is foggy at noon, I am afraid that it is strange!"

Duan Pengju had already looked at the dead man's face unpleasantly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is too worried, there are many visions of heaven and earth, you can't push the gods and ghosts every time you see it, we are fighting men, murderous, I don't believe that any ghosts and gods dare to jump out and send them to death!"

Chen Zhu's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "You will believe it!"

Duan Peng raised his eyebrows, and was just about to sneer at each other, when he heard the herald in front of him shouting: "General, Yanggu County sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!"

Duan Pengju was surprised and said, "Yanggu County sent an envoy, call in!"

"Yes!"

The herald agreed, and let Bing Sanzhang, who was dressed in a green coat and a small hat, over.

Bing Sanzhang smiled and saluted the two: "The little one is a scholar from Yanggu County, who is waiting for the army here on the order of my master!"

Duan Peng raised his eyes and didn't glance at Bing for a moment, and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"

"That's it!" Bing Sanzhang looked at Duan Pengju, and then at the deputy general next to him, and had a point in his heart, and said with a smile: "My lord is the commander of Yanggu County, and Baihugang is the jurisdiction, and when he heard the news that the army was going to conquer Baihugang, he specially ordered five pontoon bridges to be built, hoping to save time for the army!"

Duan Peng was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Your master is really a loyal and patriotic person, where is the pontoon bridge?"

Bing Sanzhang pointed back and said, "Just in the grass in front, there is a family guard!"

"Quick! take me to ......"

"Wait!"

Chen Zhu interrupted him, glanced at Bing Sanzhang coldly, and said, "What you said is the truth?"

Bing Sanzhang scratched his head in confusion, "The little one doesn't understand what this general means." ”

"I'm asking you, but you ambushed and assassinated in front?" Chen Zhu glanced at Duan Pengju and said lightly: "Lead the forward officer of our army to recklessly go to check with big words, and take the opportunity to assassinate!"

I'm sick in the head! I'll kill you as a vanguard!

Bing Sanzhang slandered in his heart, but his face screamed to hit the sky: "General Mingcha, how is it possible!"

After making such a fuss, Duan Pengju also knew that he was reckless just now, but he just couldn't get used to Chen Zhu's indifferent expression, and snorted: "General Chen, don't make trouble unreasonably, just send a team of people to check!"

He immediately beckoned and gave the order to go down.

Five hundred soldiers rushed to the place where Bing Sanzhang fingered, and in a short time, dozens of huge floating boards were rolled out. Looking at the wide and thick appearance, it should not be difficult to put together five pontoon bridges.

Seeing the soldiers in front of him happily shouting the trumpet, pushing the one-zhang wide and three-zhang long floating board into the water, Duan Pengju became proud again, squinted at Chen Zhu and said, "Little brother, thank you for me!"

Bing Sanzhang smiled: "It's good that the general is satisfied, there are few small people in our county, and we can't provide food for pigs and sheep, so we can only help the army in this form!"

"Haha, that's the truth!"

Duan Pengju was happy in his heart, laughed more and more, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Order three thousand people to cross the river, at this time the fog is thick, if there is anything abnormal, report it at any time!"

A large number of soldiers rushed forward, and the huge weight suddenly pressed the pontoon bridge into the water. Everyone held the blade in one hand and pulled the companion in front of them to stabilize the balance with the other, and marched into the fog step by step.

Bing Sanzhang smiled weirdly, and in the thickest section of the mist in the Xiao River, he slowly opened the space door of five zhang Xu Fangyuan.

In the mirror space, Xiao Man was bored leaning on the big willow tree, and when he saw the five space doors around him open, he lazily patted the huge white snake beside him.

The white snake didn't open its eyes, its huge tail slowly moved under the space door, and the subtle electric light swept over the scales, and disappeared in a flash.

The soldiers in the first row stepped into the mirror space with big eyes, and before they could make a surprised expression, they felt numb all over their bodies, and instantly fainted to the ground, rolling down the smooth scales of the white snake.

Xiao Man took out the book of heaven, and grunted at the big willow tree for a while, stretched out his hand a little, and the huge rhizome of the willow tree suddenly came to life. The tiny rhizomes grew deeper, silently binding the fainted soldier and slowly dragging it into the dense canopy.

Rows of soldiers stepped into the space, rows tied up by corona, row after row tucked into the canopy. It's like a production line for picking up rag dolls, and it doesn't stop for a moment.

Black and white impermanence made the scalp numb, and the old demon of Black Mountain was silent, they wanted to understand what Bing Sanzhang wanted to do, but they couldn't figure out why they wanted to catch and not kill, whether it was for people or ghosts, the enemy was always better dead than alive.

In the Hacking River, the little water ghost floats leisurely in the water, maintaining the high-frequency vibration of the water surface and constantly producing water vapor. From time to time, I stretched out my hand to drag the pontoon bridge to prevent these rough men from falling too much because of the shaking of the pontoon. By the way, throw the unlucky guy who fell off the pontoon into the space door.

Half an hour passed quickly, and all the 3,000 soldiers had rushed onto the pontoon.

Duan Pengju rode on his horse and waited for news, but he couldn't wait for the left or right. After waiting for half an hour, none of them came back to report, Duan Pengju's eyes flashed with anger, and he said calmly: "Send another three thousand people to cross the bridge, add fifty spies, and if there is any abnormality, report immediately!"

Chen Zhu watched the herald give the order expressionlessly, but his eyes looked at Bing Sanzhang.

Bing Sanzhang had a little expectation and nervousness on his face, but he was a little more interested in this deputy pioneer in his heart. Is it an intuition or a skeptic? Either way, this guy has something to say.

Half an hour later, the three thousand soldiers were still like stones thrown into the grass, and there was no sound at all.

Duan Pengju finally got angry, picked up Bing Sanzhang and shouted, "What is the place on the other side of the river?

Bing Sanzhang smiled bitterly: "General, I am a scholar from Yanggu County!"

Duan Pengju snorted and gasped twice, fiercely put Bing Sanzhang on the ground, picked up the big gun and left, "I want to see for myself, what is the Longtan Tiger's Den on the other side of the river!"

Chen Zhu stopped and said: "The general can't! It is the duty of the vanguard army to open roads and build bridges when encountering mountains and waters, and they have their own subordinates to explore the road." Since ancient times, there has been a point from above, and there must be an order from below, and this is what it looks like in the army. The pioneer officer personally took risks to explore the way, which is unreasonable!"

Duan Pengju said angrily: "The bullshit is unreasonable! The marshal has appointed me to be the vanguard officer, and it is my duty to explore the way for the army, and there is no sound at the six thousand children, how can this general still sit still!"

Chen Zhu said expressionlessly: "Since Erlang went and there was no response, why don't you catch some people and give it a try?" After speaking, his eyes stared at Bing Sanzhang.

Bing Sanzhang was about to applaud him in his heart, he was really a typical wolf-hearted general in ancient times, and his demeanor of not taking human life seriously was really dazzling.

Duan Pengju looked back at Bing Sanzhang, stretched out his hand and shouted, "You! Take your family to the pontoon bridge! If you dare to say a word, you will cut off your head." ”

Bing Sanzhang shook his head, and simply turned around and walked towards the river.

This Duan Pengju's heart is not good, he is so anxious when he loses an adult horse, and he is still a pioneer officer!

Twenty White Snake Guards in civilian clothes walked up the pontoon bridge and slowly disappeared into the thick fog.

Bing Sanzhang had already prepared soft couch tea on the other side, and before the White Snake could be dispatched, he wanted to see how the Great Song Dynasty bandit army broke the dead knot in front of him.

In the tent of the vanguard army, Duan Pengju was already a little frightened, the unknown was always afraid, and he finally admitted that Chen Zhu was right, this thick fog was really strange.

Looking at Chen Zhu's cold face, Duan Pengju asked tentatively, "There is still no movement, are we really going to rob the people?"

Chen Zhu said lightly: "The general's words are wrong, this time we sent troops to suppress bandits, but our 20,000 horses have the right to recruit 20,000 people, how can it be said to be a robbery?"

Duan Pengju gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time, and ask someone to go to the nearby county town and village to recruit people and prepare a large number of torches to disperse the dense fog!"

Chen Zhu said: "In this case, why not build some pontoon bridges, extend and lay upstream and downstream to explore, each pontoon bridge is separated by a mile, I don't believe that there is no news in all places!"

"Yes! Yes! That's it!" With a solution, Duan Pengju's mind calmed down a lot, and he issued a series of orders, and the entire vanguard army suddenly became operational.

A palm-sized, as thin as a willow leaf, a small white snake flashed away in the tent, and Bing Sanzhang on the other side of the river opened his eyes and praised: "Sure enough, it's a brain, but it's useless!"

With a movement in his heart, the huge white snake in the mirror space opened his eyes, the scales on his body moved lightly, and countless heads were thick, and the white snakes that were more than a foot long split out and poured into the river along the newly opened space door.

The vanguard army rushed to the boar forest to cut down trees, and the craftsmen of the baggage battalion were busy tying the trees together to make improvised rafts. Ten thousand people were taken from nearby villages and counties, and countless men and women were arrested crying and screaming, and forced to be sent to the pontoon bridge under the whipping and shouting of leather whips.

The vanguard army was outnumbered, and the rafts soon piled up. According to the length of the pontoon bridge provided by Bing Sanzhang as a benchmark. A pontoon bridge is assumed every other mile.

Countless soldiers pushed the raft forward in the water, connecting them one by one, until their bodies were submerged in the thick fog and there was no more sound.

The space door flashed, and another huge raft fell in, and more than a dozen soldiers were stunned. The roots of the tree spread over, tying up the soldier and taking him away, and two Yellow Turban wrestlers came over and lifted the raft and threw it into the distance.

Seventy or eighty huge rafts had been piled up there.

The personnel kept disappearing, there was no news at all, and the silent fear gradually spread to the entire vanguard army, and the soldiers who were sent to explore the way went from fearless to uneasy to uneasy, and their momentum was consumed little by little.

Duan Pengju slapped the table fiercely and said, "It can't go on like this! The big handsome is coming, we can't get nothing!"

"What did the people who caught you say?" asked Chen Zhu lightly.

"There is nothing that can be explained, some say that it angered the river god, and all the water thieves entrenched in the river are stupid words of fools and fools, and none of them can be taken seriously!"

"The general should have sent them over too, right?"

"Well, none of them have come back!" Duan Peng slammed his fist on the table and scolded: "The men in the surrounding villages are about to be caught, and we have consumed more than 10,000 people ourselves, and we haven't even heard a sound!"

At this time, the sun was already clearly setting to the west, and the herald ran in from outside, "General, the commander of the Chinese army is stationed thirty miles away, please come over!"

"Got it!" Chen Zhu stood up and said calmly: "The matter is too evil, it is better to report to the marshal as soon as possible." ”

"That makes sense!" Duan Peng nodded, and Chen Zhu and the two of them went out of the camp and got on their horses, and took the guards around them to ride away.

Thirty miles away, Tong Guan sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the generals under the tent were divided into two rows, quietly waiting for something.

"Report! The striker officer has arrived!"

"Come in!"

Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu strode in, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Pioneer officers Duan Pengju and Chen Zhu have seen the handsome, please forgive the last general with armor on his body, and he can't pay full courtesy!"

"It's okay!" Tong Guan waved his hand, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "Why did you stay on the edge of the Xiao River?"

Duan Peng raised the two of them to look at each other, and at the same time hugged his fists and said: "The last general is incompetent, and there is no sound at sending more than 10,000 soldiers across the river, and there is no news at all." Innocent loss of soldiers, please punish the commander!"

"Oh, no sound, more than 10,000 people?"

Duan Pengju smiled bitterly and said, "Dashuai, there are more than 10,000 people!"

Chen Zhu hugged his fists expressionlessly and said: "Dashuai, that river is too weird, the two of them suspect that it may be a demon!"
