Part Two Chapter Twelve Death Fight on the River 5
【69 Book Bar-www.】He heard my words, but his face turned red and said, "My father is just a small official, but he has always taught me that in life, one must first bear hardships in order to achieve success
.I always remember this humble position in my heart and dare not disobey it.”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lingzun is really good at teaching his children."
I took a nap on the deck, but I was still a little sleepy. At this time, the boats were moving forward at full speed on the river, and thousands of sails competed, and the trees, flowers and plants on both sides seemed to retreat very quickly.
Can I still see such a scenery? I shook my head, put aside this unlucky idea, and explained it to Cao Wendao a few words, then I returned to my cockpit and fell on the bed.
After Zhen Yining got up, she cleaned up very clean. I had not slept for a day and a night. Although I was used to Zhen Yining, I still felt sleepy. As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep. Waiting for Zhen Yi
When Ning came to ask me to have a meal, it was almost dusk. I walked out of the cockpit and saw Zhen Yining standing respectfully at the door of the cockpit. When he saw me coming out, he said respectfully: "General Chu, did you bring the food?"
I said, "Is there any food?" The ship is not big, and there are only a hundred people in total. I thought, like in the past, I would send some dry biscuits that were difficult to swallow to make dry food, but I didn't expect that I could still make it on the ship
Meal.
After eating, I reached the bow of the boat. After eating and drinking, my whole body seemed to be full of strength. It was winding in the northeast, and dozens of fast sails around me pulled their sails and sailed quickly. I looked ahead and said
: "Zhen Yining, how many days will you be here?"
Zhen Yining said: "After the rule, the boat will be smooth sailing this time, and today is March 12th. At this speed, you will be able to reach Dongping City on the evening of the 14th."
Then two days left? I glanced at the left and right. The dozen or so ships in the Forward Battalion were close to each other, and the farther place was the fleet of Tao Changshi and Liu Shixian. I said, "I have a good rest these two days and I'm in Dongping
I'm afraid I can't sleep even if I want to sleep."
Zhen Yining said: "Control, when you follow the Nanzheng of Wuhou, when facing those snake people, do you find out what is the difference?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "The snake man is extremely powerful and moves very quickly. In ordinary field battles, five or six people dare not say that they are sure to win a snake man. This kind of monster is a natural monster, and I don't know where it comes from.
.”
Zhen Yining thought for a while and said, "Do they have no weaknesses?"
"I only found that they are not good at using bows and arrows, and their heads are extremely poor. They can't hit you twenty or thirty steps away. Unfortunately, they also have thick scales on their bodies, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot hurt them either."
Zhen Yining frowned and murmured: "Is it that powerful?"
I suddenly felt a sense of pride in my heart and said, "You don't have to worry too much. At that time, Wuhou was surrounded by them in Gaojiu City and guarded for forty days. If it weren't for the exclusion of food, it would be better to guard for another hundred days.
Although the snake people are powerful, they are not very good at siegeing the city."
Just as he was talking to Zhen Yining, Cao Wendao suddenly came over and said, "The two small boats that had just explored the way have not come back yet."
These more than 3,000 people were marching on the river. I sent four people to explore the way forward with two small clutches. I took shifts every day. The four people sent out today have not returned yet. I don’t know if there is anything wrong, but
If the entire army was slowed down because of such a trivial matter, there would inevitably be some soldiers. I thought for a while and said, "Send two more small boats to the front and see that the entire army is still advancing at the original speed. Maybe their small boats are entangled.
What aquatic plants have you reached?"
Because there are very few boats on the river, it is spring and the water plants are very lush. Like us boats that can carry hundreds of people, the water plants cannot be entangled. If the boats sent out to explore the way are entangled by the water plants, it will be a headache. Things. Cao Wendao agreed and went to arrange the staff.
As the sun sets, the clouds are dyed red. I was looking at the sky when I suddenly heard a crow of water birds coming from the front. Looking at me, hundreds of black dots flew towards us from afar.
I didn't care, but I heard Zhen Yining say on the side: "Constitution, what is that?"
I smiled and said, "The snake man will never fly, otherwise, it will be that the sky will defeat me."
Of course, those who are not snake people, they are obviously water birds. We walked south, and there were more and more water birds in the river. We used to only see one or two occasionally, and the more we went south, the more we were, but we were in such a large group. This was the first time I saw it. At this time, the water bird flew straight towards us, flew over our heads, and fell to the water behind the fleet. Zhen Yining relaxed a little at this time and said, "So many birds." Ah, I haven't seen it yet."
His words were just casually said, but they made me feel like I was burned by fire. I suddenly stood up straight and turned around and said, "Cao Wendao."
Cao Wendao ran over and said, "Constitution, what's wrong?"
"The four people sent out have already set out?"
Cao Wendao said: "I haven't set out yet. What's wrong?"
I looked at the sky in front of me and said, "What happened to the water bird just now?"
Cao Wendao said: "It was probably because of the four soldiers before."
"Can four people and two small boats startle so many water birds?"
Cao Wendao's face also darkened. He had not spoken yet. At this time, a soldier ran to me and said, "General Tao, the flag slogans were issued on the ship. We should be careful to prevent any changes."
Tao Changshi also found that this water bird was a little strange. I said, "General Cao, please send the order to slow down the army, and then transfer Ren Ji's thunder crossbow to the middle."
Cao Wendao responded, "As for the order." He turned around and ran backwards, and Zhen Yining said, "General Chu, is there an ambush ahead?"
I smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Who knows what amazing things will happen to those monsters? I just don't dare to be careless."
The whereabouts of the Snake Man is extremely strange. At the beginning, we thought they were just strange beasts in Gaojiu City, but they were deeply integrated with the military strategy between advancing and retreating. Even the famous generals who used military service were just like this. Who knows if the Snake Man would I'm going to use this move. Now I'm going to slow down, but I don't know if it's time to come.
After the order was issued, all the sails were lowered, and the speed of the ship was immediately reduced to about half. At this time, the river was still divided into three rows, with the Forward Camp in the middle, and the two thousand wolf soldiers were arranged around the corner, slightly behind, and the fleet was about to roughly In the shape of an arrow.
The boat sent out then had already set off. At this time, Cao Wendao came over and said, "The command has been gone."
I looked at the river and said, "Okay, let everyone prepare their weapons and pay attention to the front."
Cao Wendao looked at the two small boats and felt a little worried on his face, saying, "The rule, is there really an ambush?"
“Be careful.”
As soon as I said these words, the two small boats suddenly stopped and stopped. Because of their briskness, these two small boats were flying on the water, and were three or four hundred steps away from us. From here, I saw that they were turning around desperately. I waved and said, "Let all the ships stop immediately!"
Fortunately, I had already ordered the army to pay attention, and there was no big mess even if I stopped so quickly. Before the ship could stop, I suddenly heard the river water in front of me rolling around like a boiling pot. The two small boats were
The river was spinning, and two black shadows suddenly rushed up from the river, wrapping around the bow of a small boat like two extremely thick giant ropes. The two soldiers on the boat suddenly screamed, looking at it,
They were rushing to lift their swords and waved them, but there was no way to block them. Two screams came from afar. The two of them were shot down in the water in the blink of an eye, and even the boat was overturned.
The boat didn't dare to stay at all, just rowed back desperately.
Zhen Yining was so scared that he grabbed my arm and shouted, "District, what is that?"
