Chapter 998: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Twenty-Two)

Wang Pei stood in the rain, and the heavy rain poured down, hitting the small white flowers on the river. The water in the Liuhao River was slowly rising because of the heavy rain. It had become a swollen river two days ago. The tidal flats he used to block the enemy are slowly disappearing. If the rain continues for a day or two, the river water will rise directly to the river embankment. This is definitely not a good thing for the defenders, Red Scarf The army can row countless wooden rafts directly under the river embankment and exert control over the river embankment with him.

What puzzled him was that in the two days of fierce hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, the morale and combat effectiveness displayed by the Red Scarf Army were not inferior to those of the elite Qi Army he led. However, the other party was just an established soldier. The bandit army has only lasted two years. Where did their fighting power and will to fight come from?

In the past few days of fighting, the casualty rate between him and the Red Scarf Army remained at 1.5 to 1. It seemed that he had taken advantage, but in fact Wang Pei knew that the strength of both sides was evenly matched, so he only slightly The upper hand is just because of the advantage of the location. You defend while the opponent attacks. Under such geographical conditions, the opponent's casualties are only slightly higher than your own. If you really want to talk about it, you have already lost.

Of course, the battle between the two armies was not a personal debate. Wang Pei still firmly guarded the Liuhao River, but his mood was not at all joyful. Tian Jingwen had already launched an attack on Nanquan. The Qi court expected a general attack on Jimo. The visit had already begun, and there was no news as soon as Chen Dai left. Could it be that Tian Yuanyuan didn't even care about the second young master's begging?

Wang Pei sighed. The river was still rising slowly but firmly. Through the drizzle of rain, he could vaguely see the other side of the river, where the Red Scarf Army was pushing more rafts to the riverside.

So what if he can hold on here? The situation is over. When the iron hoofs of the Han army step on Jimo, his entire army will be destroyed. Wang Pei believes that the Han army has raised its sharpened sword. Just look at it. When did it fall?

The rain subsided a little, and in the Red Turban Army camp opposite, there were countless more flags. One of the highest general flags was that of the bandit leader, the current Gaotang Hou Bai Cheng. The Red Turban Army Has the main force finally arrived?

Wang Pei stood up and looked back at his army's barracks behind the embankment. He would not have reinforcements.

Was my original choice wrong?

No, my original choice was not wrong. Under the circumstances at that time, if I led my troops to western Liaoning to rescue Tian Xiang, I would only become Gao Yuan's next prey and surround the point for reinforcements. This tactic is not new. Once I cross the Wei River, At Shanguan Pass, I am afraid that I will end up fishing with Tian Xiang in Dayan Lake.

The time is right! Wang Pei shook his head silently. In this contest, the tall man Gao Yuan won and Da Qi lost, but it was not a crime of war. He did not make any mistakes in military affairs, but It's just that it is unable to defeat the general trend.

The dispute between the two fields was finally going to ruin Daqi. If Linzi had been taken over quickly with one force, how could we be in such a predicament today?

Mu Qiu stood by the Liuhao River, looking at the river that was as calm as before a few days ago. Now it was like an angry man, rolling up huge waves, flying up from the river, and colliding with each other fiercely. It turns into droplets all over the sky and falls into the river. Although the river here is not wide, the terrain is steep and the rocks on the river bank are rugged, making it impossible for ships to approach. As for the wooden rafts, I am afraid that if they get close to this place, they will be hit by the underwater reefs. Got to be shattered to pieces.

Precisely 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 did not attract the attention of the enemy.

This place is called Luo Bird Cliff, which means that only birds can gain a foothold in this place.

Mu Qiu wore a tight-fitting swimsuit, put one foot in the water, bent down to pick up some water and poured it on himself. A huge wave came and hit a stone as tall as a person next to him with a bang. He was submerged in it, the water splashed down, and Mu Qiu became a drowned rat.

"Fuck you!" Mu Qiu looked at the roaring river and felt a little guilty. After this, her own life would no longer be controlled by her. Maybe a wave would hit her on a rock and she would die.

I looked back at the two companions beside me. They also had fearful expressions on their faces. The companions further away couldn't see their expressions, but I guess they were similar to me.

"Brothers, what can a little wind and waves do to me? Don't forget who you are? Follow me, get up!" Mu Qiu knew that she must not show any timidity at this moment, as it would be a coward. If she is afraid, others will It definitely goes without saying.

After swallowing, Mu Qiu trotted forward a few steps and plunged into the roaring river. Behind him, a thin rope rose and fell in the river as he moved forward.

After swimming only a few meters forward, Mu Qiu felt that he could no longer control his body. The huge current pushed him involuntarily all the way down. He waved his arms desperately, trying to stabilize his body. Figure, the rain was still falling from the sky, making it almost impossible to open his eyes, but he still kept his eyes open desperately, paying attention to everything around him. Whenever he saw water suddenly rising from the left and right, it meant that There are huge rocks there. If the water washes up there, there is almost no chance of survival.

Swimming forward with difficulty, the impact of the current was greater, but the huge waves soaring into the sky became less and less. Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he had swam to the center of the river, and the next section should be relatively easy. Only when you get close to the other side will you encounter danger again.

He looked around, trying to find the sound and shadow of his companion, but on the dark river surface around him, there was no trace of his companion except water.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qiu stretched out his legs and swam towards the other bank in the direction of the current. Now he had to maintain his strength. When he got close to the other bank, it would be another life and death fight.

Hutou stood on a huge rock by the river, holding an awning with his hands. He wanted to see clearly what was happening on the river, but he couldn't see clearly. He could only stamp his feet impatiently. In the dense forest behind him, three thousand people Huben stood silently.

"Is it really possible to swim through such a big storm and such complicated water conditions?" Hu Tou looked at the calm Zhao Yian next to him and asked.

"People make plans, and God makes things happen!" Zhao Yian's face seemed to show no emotion or anger, "General Hutou, don't you believe in our soldiers?"

"This is not a question of belief or not, but a question of whether it is possible. Zhao Yian, do you think they have a chance of success? With such a big storm, I am afraid that as soon as the water hits the water, it will be washed away to an unknown place, not to mention this The reefs under the water are deadly things." Hutou said.

Zhao Yian did not answer his words, but turned his eyes to the hands of the twenty soldiers by the river. Each of them held a thin hemp rope in their hands. At their feet was a large plate of this kind of rope. If we talk about The length is several hundred meters. The rope is rapidly extending forward.

Mu Qiu's hands were clinging to the protrusion of a rock, panting heavily. Just now he was rushed here by a group of rapids. When he saw this big black guy appearing in his eyes, he was frightened. His soul was shattered, and when he couldn't help but bump into it, a huge whirlpool suddenly surged under the boulder, pulling his body to one side, and he narrowly avoided the front of the boulder, while Mu At this critical moment, Qiu also reached out and grabbed the protruding corner of the rock. His body was knocked to the side of the rock by the current, and his whole body seemed to be scattered. However, he let out a long breath, and finally felt blessed. Fortunately, he survived.

Climbing up the rock and looking around, he was pleasantly surprised to see that in front of him, the rocks were connected to each other, and he had actually reached the shore.

Using his hands and feet, he jumped from one piece to another. When his feet finally touched the ground, Mu Qiu almost collapsed on the ground. Lying on his back in the shallow water, Mu Qiu opened his mouth wide and breathed desperately. After a while of fresh air, I got up and carefully observed the surrounding situation. I was a hundred meters away from the target I wanted to reach, and the huge Bird-falling Cliff stood darkly in front of my eyes.

Mu Qiu tightened the rope around her waist and walked towards Luo Bird Cliff. As he walked, he put two fingers in his mouth and imitated the chirping of birds. He was calling his companions.

In the darkness, the sound of birds' response rang out, but Mu Qiu's face quickly darkened. There were twenty people when he set out, but now only two people responded to him.

Where were the others? He stopped, looked at the dark river, and bowed deeply.

Of the twenty outstanding scouts, only three of them, including Mu Qiu, reached the other side alive.

The three of them climbed up Luo Niao Cliff with difficulty. Mu Qiu took out a small bag tightly sealed with oil leather and wax from his arms, and tore it open. Inside was a fire sickle and an incense stick.

Holding the fire sickle and lighting the incense stick, Mu Qiu slowly faced the other side and drew small circles one after another in the air.

On the other side, Zhao Yian's eyes suddenly widened, "General Tiger Head, they are here!" Zhao Yian's voice was trembling: "Look, fire, fire."

Hutou jumped down from the boulder with a roar, "What are you still doing? Hurry, get ready, get ready."

Zhao Yian also lit the incense head here and drew several circles in the air. Behind him, the soldiers quickly got busy. Behind the hemp rope, a thick rope was tied, and at the end of the thick rope, a fast What was firmly tied was an iron cable as thick as a child's wrist, twisted together with iron wire. The rope began to be pulled from the ground, driving the iron cable behind it, and slowly disappeared into the darkness. (To be continued)
