I’m The King Chapter 998: :Huanghuang Hanwei (122)
Standing in the rain, Wang Pei poured down like a torrential rain, beating up a cloud of small white flowers on the surface of the river, and the water of the Liuhao River was slowly rising because of the heavy rain. The sky has become a tidal flat for him to block the enemy, and it is slowly disappearing. If the rain continues for a day or two, the river will rise directly to the embankment. This is definitely not a good thing for the defenders , the Red Scarf Army can row countless wooden rafts directly under the river embankment and start controlling the river embankment with him.
What puzzled him was that during the two days of fierce hand-to-hand combat, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army were no less than that of the elite Qi Army he led. A bandit army that has only been established for two years, where does their fighting power and fighting will come from?
In the past few days of battles, the casualty ratio between him and the Red Turban Army has remained at 1.5:1. The reason why he has a slight advantage is simply because he has taken advantage of the geographical advantage. He defends while the opponent attacks. Under such geographical conditions, the opponent's casualties are only slightly higher than his own. In fact, he has already lost.
Of course the two armies are fighting, it's not a matter of individual martial arts. Wang Pei is still firmly guarding the Liuhao River, but his mood is not half joyful. Tian Jingwen has already launched an attack on Nanquan. It seems that the general attack has already begun, and there has been no news since Dai Chen left. Could it be that Tian Yuanyuan simply dismissed the second son's begging?
Wang Pei sighed. The river was still rising slowly but firmly, and through the heavy rain curtain, he could vaguely see the other side of the river, where the Red Scarf Army was pushing more wooden rafts to the Riverside.
Even if I can hold this place, so what? The general situation is gone. When the iron hooves of the Han army step on Jimo, it will be the time when the whole army will be wiped out. Wang Pei believes that the Han army has raised the sharpened sword, It depends on when it falls.
The rain was a little bit lighter, and there were countless more flags in the Red Turban Army camp on the opposite side, and one of the flags that was raised the highest was actually that bandit leader, the current Gaotang Marquis Bai Cheng. Has the main force of the Red Turban Army finally arrived?
Wang Pei stood up and looked back at the barracks of his army behind the embankment. There will be no reinforcements for him.
Is my original choice wrong?
No, my original choice was not wrong. Under the circumstances at that time, if I led my troops to the west of Liaoning to rescue Tian Xiang, I would only become Gao Yuan's next prey. After crossing the Xiaoshan pass by myself, I am afraid that the end will be to accompany Tian Xiang to fish in Dayan Lake.
The time is right! Wang Pei shook his head speechlessly. In this contest, the lofty man won and the great Qi lost, but it was not a crime of war. He did not commit any military crimes. Mistakes are nothing more than losing to the general trend.
The dispute between the two fields will finally ruin Daqi. If Linzi was taken down quickly in one go, how could there be such a predicament today?
Mu Qiu stood by the Liuhao River, looking at the river, which was calm as before a few days ago, now it looks like a raging madman, rolling up huge waves, flying up from the river, and colliding fiercely Together, they turned into droplets all over the sky and fell into the river. Although the river here is not wide, the terrain is steep, with strange rocks on the banks, and ships cannot approach at all. As for the wooden raft, if it gets close to this place, it will be underwater The hidden reef was smashed to pieces.
Because of the terrain here, the Qi army did not pay attention to this place. In the past few days, Mu Qiu searched along the coast, and finally found such a hidden place that has not attracted the attention of the enemy.
This place is called Luoniaoya, which means that only birds can gain a foothold here.
Mu Qiu was wearing a tight-fitting swimsuit, stepped on the water with one foot, bent over to pick up some water and poured it on his body, a huge wave came, and smashed on a stone that was as tall as a person beside him with a bang. Go up, and immediately submerge him in it, the water splashed down, and Mu Qiu has become a drowned chicken.
"Damn it!" Mu Qiu looked at the roaring river, feeling a little guilty. Dead.
Looking back at the two companions beside me, they also showed fear on their faces, and the companions who are farther away can't see their expressions, but I think they are similar to me.
"Brothers, what can a little storm do to me? Don't forget who you are? Follow me, go!" Mu Qiu knew that he must not show a little timidity at this moment, it would be a soldier's courage, if he was afraid, Others will certainly needless to say.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Mu Qiu trot forward a few steps, plunged headlong into the roaring river, behind him, a thin rope followed his forward body in the river water ups and downs.
Swimming forward for only a few meters, Mu Qiu felt that his body could hardly be controlled by himself anymore. The huge current pushed him, and he couldn't help himself all the way down. He waved his arms desperately, trying his best to stabilize Looking at his own figure, the rain was still falling from the sky, which made his eyes barely open, but he still opened them desperately, paying attention to everything around him, but whenever he saw water rushing up into the sky from the left and right , which means that there is a boulder there, if it is carried by the current and rushed to it, there is little possibility of survival.
Swimming forward with difficulty, the impact of the current is greater, but the huge waves are less and less. Relax, only when you are close to the other side, you will encounter danger again.
He looked around, trying to find the shadow of his companion, but on the dark river around him, there was nothing but water, so he couldn't see the shadow of a companion.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Qiu stretched his legs, followed the direction of the current, and swam towards the opposite bank. Now he needs to maintain his strength, and when he gets close to the opposite bank, it will be another life-and-death struggle. Fight.
Hutou stood on a boulder by the river, with his hands on the awning, trying to see the situation on the river clearly, but couldn't see clearly, so he couldn't help stamping his feet impatiently. In the dense forest behind him ,Three thousand tigers stood silently.
"Such a big storm, such a complicated water regime, can you really swim through it?" Hutou looked at Zhao Yi'an, who was beside him with a calm face, and asked.
"It's up to man to make plans, but it's up to God to make things happen!" Zhao Yi'an didn't seem to show any joy or anger on his face, "General Tiger Head, don't you trust our soldiers?"
"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not, but whether you can do it or not. Zhao Yi'an, do you think they have a chance of success? With such a big storm, if they hit the water, they will be washed away to nowhere. Not to mention the submerged reef, that one is a fatal thing." Hutou said.
Zhao Yi'an didn't answer his words, but turned his eyes to the hands of twenty soldiers by the river, each of them held a thin hemp rope in their hands, and there was a large plate of this kind of rope at their feet, In terms of length, it is hundreds of meters. The rope is rapidly extending forward.
Mu Qiu's hand was clinging to a protruding rock, panting heavily, just now he was rushed here by a mass of rapids, when he saw this **** guy appearing in his eyes, He was frightened out of his wits, and when he couldn't help but run straight into it, a huge vortex suddenly surged under the boulder, pulling his body to one side, narrowly avoiding the front of the boulder , and Mu Qiu also stretched out his hand to grab the protruding corner of the rock at this critical moment, his body was slapped on the side of the rock by the water, his whole body seemed to be blown apart, but he let out a long breath, Finally, I was blessed with great fortune and survived.
Climbing up the rock, looking around, he was pleasantly surprised to see that in front of him, a piece of rock was connected with each other, and he had already reached the shore.
Using both hands and feet, jumping from one piece to another, when both feet finally set foot on the ground, Mu Qiu almost collapsed on the ground. Lying on his back in the shallow water, Mu Qiu opened his mouth wide, desperately Breathing the fresh air, it took a long time to get up and carefully observe the surrounding situation. The distance from the goal he wanted to reach was a full hundred meters away, and the huge Luoniao cliff stood in front of him in the dark. .
Mu Qiu tightened the rope tied around his waist, and walked towards Luoniaoya. While walking, he put **** in his mouth, imitating the song of a bird. He was calling for his companions. .
In the darkness, there was a bird's response, but Mu Qiu's face quickly darkened. There were twenty people when they set off, but now only two voices responded to him.
Where are the others? He stopped, looked at the dark river, and bowed deeply.
Out of the twenty excellent scouts, only three of them made it to the other side alive, including Mu Qiu.
The three climbed up Luoniao Cliff with difficulty, Mu Qiu took out a small package sealed tightly with oil skin and wax from his arms, tore it open, and inside was a fire sickle and a stick of incense.
Lighting the scythe and lighting the incense head, Mu Qiu slowly moved towards the opposite bank, making small circles one after another in the air.
On the other side, Zhao Yi'an's eyes widened suddenly, "General Tiger Head, they're here!" Zhao Yi'an's voice trembled a little: "Look, fire, fire."
Tiger jumped down from the boulder with a huff, "What are you still doing, hurry up, get ready, get ready."
Zhao Yi'an also lit the incense head here, and drew a few circles in the air. Behind him, the soldiers quickly got busy. A thick rope was tied behind the hemp rope, and behind the thick rope At the tail, it is firmly tied with an iron cable that is as thick as a child's wrist twisted together with iron wire. The rope begins to be pulled from the ground, driving the iron cable behind, and slowly sinking into the darkness. (To be continued )
