Chapter 43

"What kind of ammunition are you loading!" Master Tian laughed loudly, "We have two guns!"

"That's okay too!"

"It's also because of you. We left 30 soldiers to look for you in Shanhaiguan, so we have more than 30 three-eyed blunderbuss. Now we hold the blunderbuss in both hands and hang three eyes behind our buttocks. It's a little heavy, but it works.

!”

Jin Shiqi and Master Tian were chatting happily about military matters. Suddenly, a private soldier came to report: Oh no, hundreds of strong men came from the coast and headed for the island.

"Oh, don't be afraid." Jin Shiqi stood up, "He is my man."

Master Tian immediately understood: "You want those six boats? Master, we are here to guard under military orders." The other leading flag commanders also said yes, and asked Master not to embarrass us.

Jin Shiqi began to provoke: Those small boats could not hold hundreds of people, and the generals and officers on the island all had their families, so they could not accommodate all the soldiers. Although those people were also very sad, they said: "This is the military order!"

"We are not afraid of death!"

"I want to take you alive!" Jin Shiqi was angry, "I need that ship to make a deal with the general on the mountain. I want to save all of you."

However, Master Tian and the soldiers still refused to give in. It was a military order jointly issued by several generals, and the eldest son could not change it. In the end, Jin Shiqi gave in: "Then I will also issue an order. It is not inconsistent with the military order, will you carry it out?

"

Everyone asked carefully: "Come and listen?"

Jin Shiqi said solemnly: "Today, you are guarding your ship here. No matter what happens outside, no one is allowed to go out."

Jin Shiqi left the bewildered private soldiers behind and walked out of the forest.

He told Captain Zhuang Ding how to act, and ordered Feng Hu to surround the island and not allow the island to communicate with the outside world. Then he went to the Naval Command in the middle of the mountain to have a showdown with General Ji Shideng.

It was just after noon.

Ji Shideng, the chief general of Juehua Island, was discussing the war situation with several core generals. When he saw Jin Shiqi coming in, he told him: The situation is very serious. The scouts in the morning have found out our true and false positions. They will gather troops in the afternoon, I'm afraid tomorrow

There will be a war.

"Okay." Jin Shiqi said immediately, "I want wood."

Ji Shiden was angry, "You always say this! I even gave you a warship, what else do you want?"

"It's not enough. I've dismantled everything I can on the ship." Jin Shiqi waved his hand, "Even the six hidden on Yangshan Island were dismantled."

Ji Shideng and others stayed for a moment, and then they all jumped up. Their only way out was to "escape by boat if things go wrong." Jin Shiqi actually behaved so recklessly, and they all shouted: "You are seeking death!"

Young Master, please don’t scare me!” “Jin Shiqi and I have nothing to do with you!”

Zha Yingcai also exclaimed: "Master, you are kidding."

"If you don't believe me, go and see it."

Jin Shiqi waved his hand, and all the guerrillas rushed out.

Ji Shideng finally couldn't help it any longer, so he also went out and stood on the sea-viewing platform and looked down. He saw the Yangshan Island side was bustling with people. Hundreds of strong men were dragging ship planks and lumber out, and about 10 people were carrying it.

They were holding a big mast and singing as they walked, creating a scene of a good harvest.

At this moment, General Ji felt like he was trapped in fire and ice.

Jin Shiqi followed: "General, I still need the last 30,000 stones of wood for my pontoon bridge."

"Kill me!" Ji Shiden said angrily.

At the critical moment, Zha Yingcai said: "General, our three camps are so crowded that we can get enough wood by demolishing half of the houses each."

Ji Shideng said angrily: "If it doesn't work, I will kill you both first!"

Several other generals and officers were also furious. But at this point, the boat was in ruins. They could only send an order to each battalion: pack your bags and prepare to move! In order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, all the generals and officers will be on duty tonight.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle….

After leaving the command department, Zha Ying grabbed Jin Shiqi and whispered: "You are too courageous now."

"Don't worry, I didn't touch your boat." Jin Shiqi pointed down the mountain, "They were swinging back and forth against the wood. They were just acting. You really believe it..."

"I've seen it a long time ago." Zha Yingcai whispered, "How can there be such a long mast on a small sand ship?"

"Brother Cha... you are a good person!"



That evening, the "Xiongqi Floating Bridge" was finally laid on Zhangshan Island.

Two days ago, Jin Shiqi calculated the length of the floating bridge to be 1,626 steps, totaling 2,600 meters.

At this moment, the sky turned dark blue, and Jin Shiqi was measuring his pontoon with his legs, walking towards Zhangshan Island. The assembled raft floated gently in the sea water, and it would rise and fall violently when you step on it, and the sea water would flow from it.

The water gushed out from the cracks. The wind blew fiercely, and the cables on both sides were blown to buzzing and trembling.

The raft that assembled the first few hundred steps of the pontoon was once the barracks of Longwu's front camp. Then there were the trees on Juehua Island, the ships frozen in the port, and then the neatly arranged wood of various colors. Until the end, there was Longwu Zuo,

The barracks of the third battalion on the center and right. All the resources on Juehua Island are gathered at the feet of Jin Shiqi.

Zhangshan Island is getting closer and closer, already within easy reach.

Each set of rafts is exactly one step wide, and the 1588th raft has already touched the solid ice, and there are several feet of solid ice under No. 1610. President Jin Qian asked the craftsmen to continue: We have enough wood, keep moving forward! Until No. 1626

The raft fell down and landed on a dark rock!

"The calculation is so accurate!" Jin Shiqi admired. He turned around and looked at the slender pontoon in the distance, remembering that more than 80 soldiers and civilians died during the construction due to accidents such as falling into the sea, collisions, logging, and ship grabbing, as well as those who died in the war that morning.

Nearly 300 people were killed... This pontoon bridge was really purchased with human lives.

Jiannu... will never fail to come... Ah, this kind of thought is unacceptable!

Anyway, I'm coming to Zhangshan Island! Jin Shiqi watched the craftsmen nailing the last piece of raft, and he thought to himself that it should be me, the designer of this floating bridge, who sets foot on the island first. Which one should I fall on first?

Where are the feet? Should I say something?

The young master was still in his reverie. As the last nail was smashed in, the craftsmen rushed ashore with shouts. Then hundreds of craftsmen rushed over one after another and threw themselves on the snow on Zhangshan Island, rolling and crying.

Shouting for joy, everyone has been waiting for this moment!

The pontoon bridge is not yet stable and is not yet completed. On the Zhangshan Island side, piles still need to be driven to build the bridge head, and hundreds of cables must be pulled to fix it to the rocks. The craftsmen have already lit a bonfire and will have to work continuously all night to complete the bridge.

There is also more work to be done on the Juehua Island side. Fences must be built to ease the flow of people, otherwise once the gate is opened, it will definitely become a blockage in the Guangzhou Railway Station. It will be a trivial matter to trample people to death, but if the bridge is overturned, it will be completely ruined!

Jin Shiqi designed a composite fence with 4 large passages and 2 backup lanes. The passages are all equipped with gates, and there is also a "VIP direct passage".

In addition, food must be transported. This is General Ji's request: 100,000 stones of food in the leading warehouse, as much as can be transported. There are also tents, wood, fuel, equipment on the ship, and weapons after the soldiers and civilians land on the island. In short

, the work of the 8,000 workers is fully arranged.

When Jin Shiqi returned to the coast of Juehua Island, it was already dark.

On the coast here, thousands of people are looking at the end of the pontoon bridge, looking at the bonfire over there, that is the hope. The Jinfu soldiers and the supervising team strictly guard the pontoon bridge to prevent the people from rushing up rashly.

When Jin Shiqi came back, all the soldiers and civilians present thanked him. No matter where he went, there were thousands of pairs of eyes looking at him, praising and expressing gratitude. Mr. Jin was like a myth.

Jin Shiqi stood in front of all the people. He was in a surging mood and did not speak for a long time. Everyone thought he was planning a long speech. But he waved his hand and shouted: "Work overtime tonight!"...



It's dawn again.

The twenty-sixth day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, that day in legend.

The army of the Hou Jin Dynasty set out in the dark night and set foot on the ice northwest of Juehua Island at dawn.

At this moment, the soldiers rushed into Jin Shiqi's bedroom, "Report from the enemy! The enemy has come to kill." The soldier shook the young master vigorously, "The soldiers are coming, and they will be there in an hour!"

"Who is here..." Jin Shiqi only slept for two hours. He had a splitting headache and asked, "Is my bridge still there?"

He put on all his clothes in a hurry, and as soon as he opened the door, Mo'er's wife rushed in and grabbed him, "Sir, your father is awake, go see him quickly!"

Jin Shiqi stood stunned for a moment, and finally realized that it was Jin Guan's flashback. This father really knows how to catch the time! He hurried out, thinking about the pitiful appearance of the old man lying on the bed... As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw General Jin Guan.

, standing in the middle of the snow.

He was wearing a dark red cotton robe, his body was straight and his arms were spread out, and he was letting his soldiers help him put on his armor! His face was as pale as snow, and his cheeks were swollen, but his eyes were bright.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Qi boy, are you afraid?"

Jin Shiqi trembled with fright, how could this old man have returned to his former glory... He was simply possessed by a god!

"I..." Jin Shiqi hurriedly walked over. Next to him, Master Tian and several soldiers were there, and then several generals ran in and fell to their knees in sorrow.

Jin Guan drank: "Report military information!"

The generals hurriedly reported: The Jiannu army has arrived on the ice. It is a mixture of Jurchen and Mongolian cavalry, with a strength of about 10,000! Looking at the flag, the leader is the Mongolian Wunage.

"Wunage." Jin Guan responded. "Long Wu, there are still three battalions to defend against the enemy. I will lead them personally. If I am here, the battalion will not collapse!"

He stared at Jin Shiqi and asked intermittently: "Let me ask you, Master Tian said that you were accepted as a disciple by Lord Chu Yang... and you became President Qian? You also competed with Wu Sangui..."

"That's not important." Jin Shiqi said hurriedly, "I built a floating bridge to save the people on the island."

"I heard." Jin Guan's eyes stared at him, "Dad, I'll help you wean off your queen!"

At this moment, the two soldiers had finished putting on their armor. As soon as they took their hands away, Jin Guan swayed and sat down on the ground. His face was like gold paper, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Everyone rushed to grab it, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

Extremely sad.

Shijun finally arrived. He was fully armored, holding an iron-clad spear in his hand, two knives hanging on his waist, and three pots of arrows hanging on his back. Then the little giant Huang Baizong's group of soldiers also rushed in, fully armed.

Jin Guan pointed at Shijun: "You two brothers go to the island together. Shijun, come here..." He pulled Jin Shijun's arm, "Don't ask about my injury, don't avenge me."

After hearing this, Shijun gritted his teeth and refused to speak, tears streaming down his face.

"Boy Qi, come here!" Jin Guan tremblingly took out something and handed it over. His hand was shaking so much that the thing slipped to the ground. Jin Shiqi picked it up quickly and found that it was a bunch of keys with "Inner Treasury" tied to it.

brand name.

Jin Guan shouted hoarsely: "Come here!"

Jin Shiqi came closer again.

"Come here again!"

Jin Shiqi almost put his head on Jin Guan's chest. The old man hooked his neck and almost bit his ear and said, "I'm afraid... I won't be able to get on your bridge."

"Dad!" He shouted naturally, lowering his head and tears uncontrollably flowing out.

"I didn't see Peng'er... pitiful." Jin Guan's voice gradually became softer, "When spring comes, you take your brothers to the south... away from the war and the military."

Jin Shiqi choked with sobs: "I remember."

Jin Guan had no further instructions, so Huang Baizong came over and carried him on his back. Surrounded by a hundred soldiers, he hurried down the mountain. Jin Shiqi looked at the old man's back from a distance, and his thin body was on Huang Baizong's giant body.

Bumping around, we bypassed the pine forest in an instant.

At the foot of the mountain, 5,000 sailors from three battalions of the Longwu Navy were already in formation. In the center, a sea-blue six-foot general flag with the words "Command of the Three Armies" written on it was dancing in the north wind.

Jin Shiqi raised his head again and saw ten thousand miles away on the ice field in the southwest, already a dense mass of 10,000 cavalry.
