At night, a biting north wind blew in the sky, and the sky was filled with sand. The temperature dropped suddenly, from the soft and warm early spring to the freezing cold winter in an instant!
After discussing with He Renlong and Hu Dawei, Liu Ruyi did not change the original plan. Despite the bad weather, they traveled all night and took a detour south, preparing to bypass Tongzhou and head towards their destination!
According to the information reported by the scouts, the logistics supply lines of the Qing army were roughly located in Miyun, Huairou, and Pinggu. Pinggu, in particular, was the transit point for the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs and plunder wealth!
According to the news sent back by Luo Luohong, Huang Taiji had decided to leave the customs through Xifengkou. However, due to the bad weather, he was delayed in leaving!
There is not much time left for Liu Ruyi!
The sky was full of wind and sand, forming a huge sandstorm, and it was nighttime, so visibility was extremely low!
At this time, the temperature difference between day and night was huge, and the ice melted, forming large and small potholes and unevenness on the ground. In order to keep it secret, Liu Ruyi did not let the soldiers light torches.
, which really made these soldiers miserable!
"Bah~~!" He Renlong spit out a mouthful of yellow sand angrily, pressed it to Liu Ruyi's ear, and asked loudly: "Brother Liu, where are we going tonight? If the weather continues like this! Don't do it!
It’s a horse, I’m afraid even us gentlemen can’t stand it!”
Although He Renlong and Hu Dawei helped greatly in this operation, Liu Ruyi was very tight-lipped and could not tell them the detailed goals of this operation!
"Brother He, let the brothers be patient for a while! After tonight, we can get to the edge of the canal!" Liu Ruyi tightly wrapped the iron helmet on her head and shouted to He Renlong in a loud voice.
.
According to Liu Ruyi's plan, he first crossed the canal from the south side of Tongzhou, then turned eastward and passed Sanhe. He took advantage of Huang Taiji's army not to move and raided Pinggu. By the time Huang Taiji reacted, it was already beyond his reach.
!
He Renlong nodded. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Ruyi's insistence on marching at night, he and Hu Dawei chose the food, grass, and baggage distributed by Yang Sichang and Liu Yuanbin, and Liu Ruyi only took what they had left.
Of~~!
Eaters have short mouths and takers have short hands. At this moment, He Renlong had no choice but to suppress his anger and shouted at the cavalry around him at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, cheer me up! Don't let others take advantage of you.
Shi Jun’s brothers are looking down upon him!"
Those cavalrymen had no choice but to dismount, hold their horses hard, and trudge forward!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile. Although He Renlong had a bad temper, his heart was not bad. He just had the competitive spirit that some soldiers often have!
After a hard night's journey, the troops finally arrived at the canal on the south side of Tongzhou in the early morning. However, at this time, there was only a thin layer of ice on the river surface, which could not support the weight of the human body. How to cross the river was a difficult task.
A big problem!
He Renlong couldn't help but feel dizzy. He was most afraid of trouble. Seeing this, he scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, "Brother Liu, this, this canal is so wide and there are no ships nearby. What should we do?
ah?"
Although Hu Dawei was much more stable than He Renlong, when he saw this situation, he frowned and said, "Brother Liu, the villages near here have been abandoned. Even if we rush to build a ship, it is too late! If not, let's continue.
Go south, to the Xiang River area, are you crossing the river?"
Liu Ruyi smiled slightly and said: "Brother He, Hushuai, you don't have to worry! After running around all night, my brothers must be tired! Let's set up camp here and have a good rest. At night, hehe, Shan
People have their own ideas!”
"Brother Liu, you, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Tell Er Laohe quickly! You, you are really going to kill me!" He Renlong still refused to give up!
But Liu Ruyi just smiled, just didn't say anything, just got into his tent and fell asleep!
He Renlong had no choice but to call the tiger to be mighty, and ordered his soldiers to prepare some food and drinks, eating and drinking to drown his sorrows!
****************************************
At night, the weather suddenly became cold again. The howling north wind seemed to turn the whole world upside down. The wind and sand in the sky slapped hard on the ground, making a crackling sound like hailstones!
Liu Ruyi ordered his soldiers to gather everyone together, and also pulled the drunk He Renlong out of the hot bed!
He Renlong was very dissatisfied, "Brother Liu, you, what kind of trouble are you trying to make? If Lao He sleeps, you won't let me sleep peacefully!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "Brother He, aren't you worried about your brothers crossing the river? Look, now I have a solution!"
He Renlong was stunned, quickly opened his eyes, and looked towards the canal!
I saw that on the originally wide river, a huge pontoon bridge had been built at some point. It was more than ten meters wide and was made of thick wooden piles. It was also covered with a thin layer of
Yellow sand!
"Brother Liu, Liu, you, when did you get this done? Is this pontoon bridge probably strong? Can it hold up the men's horses?" He Renlong opened his mouth wide, but asked in disbelief.
road.
"Whether you can hold it or not, Brother He will know if you ask Commander Hu, right?" Liu Ruyi pointed to the other side of the river, but she saw Hu Dawei smiling and waving to this side, and his three thousand
Most of the cavalry have crossed the river!
"Donkey ball boy! Tiger is not honest in doing things! He ran away first without waiting for Lao He!" He Renlong cursed and trotted straight to the pontoon to find out what was going on!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile. The power of technology is indeed endless!
The principle of this floating bridge is actually very simple!
During this season, the weather is greatly affected by the Little Glacier climate. The temperature difference between day and night is huge. It may reach more than ten degrees above zero during the day, but as soon as the sun sets, the temperature will suddenly drop below ten degrees below zero. But at this time, people
, when you see that the ice on the river is very thin during the day, you will think that the ice is also very thin at night!
And Liu Ruyi ordered the soldiers to tie the wooden piles used for camping during the day into a row, and put them into the water during the day when the ice surface was very thin. At night, these wooden piles were compressed by the cold air flow and were already dead.
Stuck in the ice! At this time, let alone passing the speed of others, even if you are driving the big trucks of later generations, there will still be no problem!
Soon, in the middle of the night, eight thousand troops and horses successfully passed through the canal.
However, He Renlong said with some lingering fear: "Brother Liu, you, your magic, we, we'd better burn him with a fire, otherwise, if those Tatars see it, then, that's terrible
that is……"
But Liu Ruyi smiled and explained: "Brother He, you don't have to worry about this! Even if others want to learn my method, they will never be able to learn it! Let's just take care of it and go without fear!"
When the sun rises, the temperature rises, and the ice melts, these wooden piles will be unconsciously washed downstream by the water, completely erasing all traces. Liu Ruyi is not worried at all about this!
Soon, the army regrouped, bypassed the Grand Canal, and headed northeast!
*********************************************
At dusk, the troops had arrived at the source of Baoqiu Water, which was only a few dozen miles away from Sanhe County, and only a hundred miles away from Pinggu City, their target!
After marching in a hurry day and night, the soldiers were exhausted, so Liu Ruyi ordered to set up camp on the bank of Qiushui River in the ravine.
However, what Liu Ruyi did not expect was that this time, not only He Renlong and Hu Dawei were convinced by Liu Ruyi, but also their lieutenants, Guerrilla, were respectful to him when they saw him, wishing he could be worshiped as a god.
, Liu Ruyi said one, they will never do two!
At this time, this place was out of the control of the Qing army. Liu Ruyi ordered Nine Ming Old Mao to lead his scouts to inquire about information. In the big tent, he asked his soldiers to cook some good dishes and entertained He Renlong and He.
The generals under Hu Dawei!
There were some rude soldiers present, and there were not so many taboos. Liu Ruyi had some leftover meaty horse legs roasted, and everyone drank heavily and ate meat. It was so enjoyable!
He Renlong, the guy who showed no signs of eating, casually picked up the knife on his waist and cut off a large piece of fat horse meat. While chewing it, he shouted loudly: "Hey! Brother Liu! This time E Lao He
But thanks to you! This is the first time Erlaohe has eaten the horse meat of the Tatar soldiers! But, you, what are these yellow powders you sprinkled on it? Why is it so fragrant?
"
He Renlong was like a country bumpkin and asked Liu Ruyi with his mouth full of oil.
The other generals also opened their eyes wide and looked eagerly in Liu Ruyi's direction.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but laugh. These yellow powder are actually cumin from later generations. This is Xiao Mowen's Xiao family business. They bought it in Nanyang a few days ago and gave it to Liu Ruyi to try. Liu Ruyi liked to eat barbecue in his previous life.
I took some with me when I went on an expedition. Unexpectedly, these soldiers liked this tune!
"This is the seasoning spice that my father-in-law, Lao Taishan, gave me. If you generals like it, I will send you some later! Use this thing to barbecue, it is the most delicious! Come, generals, I wish you were young and humble.
, but I am favored by all the generals, so I would like to toast you all with a drink!" After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he picked up the wine bowl with a smile, gestured to everyone, and drank it all in one gulp!
Everyone did not expect that Liu Ruyi would be so generous. They were all rough people, and they did not expect that Liu Ruyi would give away such precious spices as soon as he said so. They were all greatly moved and picked up their wine bowls and echoed loudly.
In fact, He Renlong actually carried a full wine jar and insisted on having a "heart-to-heart" relationship with Liu Ruyi. How dare Liu Ruyi fight with him? Naturally, she sneaked out of the door to get some fresh air!
These soldiers, when they drink, they are risking their lives!
However, what Liu Ruyi didn't expect was that after this banquet, in addition to leaving an unfathomable impression on people by riding a pontoon, he would also be given the nickname "Yi Bo Yuntian" by the generals, and he was immediately
, Liu Ruyi's reputation is unparalleled in the hearts of these eight thousand soldiers!
The officers of the Caishi Army were naturally proud of themselves, 'We, generals, needless to say, we are the most righteous people!'
This invisibly made Liu Ruyi's words more and more important in the minds of these eight thousand soldiers!
After finally having such a day of rest, everyone was fast asleep, and the soldiers also got a rare opportunity to rest. The entire Ming army camp was peaceful!
But just after midnight, around midnight, the spies from Nine Lives Old Cat came back first and eagerly reported to Liu Ruyi: "General, it's not good! A group of elite Tatar troops came from the west.
, they are all cavalry, at least three thousand people!"
