Chapter 148: The Battle of Jade Twin Mountains (8)
In the afternoon, Lin Feng and the others had to rest and reorganize the whole army again because of the fatigue of the war horses.
"Master Hou, it's about an hour and a half away from our planned destination!" While resting, Tang Yi took this sheepskin map very responsibly and walked to Lin Feng's side.
"Hmmm! Rest for half an hour, and arrive in one go! Lin Feng wiped the sweat and rain on his face, looked back at Tang Yi with appreciation, and felt that Tang Yi was indeed the general in charge, although he was still here, but after all, he had entrusted most of the affairs of the whole army to him, and seeing him do this, Lin Feng was also very satisfied in his heart.
Lin Feng stood under a big tree, put his new weapon Dark Feng on the ground, pressed his hands lightly on it, and looked up at the sky slightly.
Although it was afternoon, the overcast sky seemed to be dark at any time, and there was even a dull and oppressive feeling. There were no clouds in the gloomy sky, not even dark clouds, maybe the whole sky was a dark cloud, Lin Feng said to himself in his heart.
Half an hour passed quickly, Lin Feng saw Li Xiaofeng walking towards him from a distance, and knew that this was the password to ask for instructions, so he immediately carried Dark Feng back to his waist and spit out the sloppy ginger in his mouth to the side, although this ginger can also be used, but Lin Feng himself didn't know why he spit it out.
"Brother-in-law, let's go! If you don't leave, it's going to be dark again! Li Xiaofeng beckoned to Lin Feng while chewing the ginger in his mouth.
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Feng nodded, then went to the side of his war horse, wiped the stagnant water on the cushion to the side, and then stepped on the horse and turned over.
Soon, the 10,000-strong Feng family army continued to embark on the march, although everyone's faces were slightly tired, but most people's eyes revealed more excitement and excitement. Maybe they thought that if it weren't for Lin Feng's leadership, they would never encounter such a war in their lives.
Time flies, especially in the evenings of autumn and winter, and the speed at which night falls is unimaginable to humans.
Fortunately, before dark, Lin Feng and his party still arrived at the forest according to the established original plan. And this time should also be the time for the barracks to bury the pot and cook, so Lin Feng did not rush to order the departure, but asked Tang Yi to arrange for the soldiers who were stationed in place and waited to start building temporary rain shelter fortifications.
After the arrangement, Lin Feng sat in a small tent set up by his own soldiers and carefully checked the map again, and carefully demonstrated the upcoming battle over and over again in his mind, trying to find some mistakes in it, and minimize his own losses as much as possible.
After the sergeants settled down, they began to eat mutton, ginger, and rainwater, and after they had eaten and drunk enough, they began to take care of their respective horses, and when everything was done, they could find a place to rest for a while.
At this time, on the edge of the Qi River on the west side of Yushuang Mountain, Yuan Biao and his party of twenty-two people were changing into sheepskin waterproof clothes there, they arrived here about half an hour ago, and they had finished eating and drinking and had a little rest for a period of time just now, which was also the difference between the Feng Kill people and the ordinary soldiers, each of the members of the Feng Kill was a special soldier, and his physical endurance was many times higher than ordinary people in all aspects.
Originally, the Qi River was just a small stream, and even people could walk barefoot to the foot of Yushuang Mountain at its narrowest point. However, due to the recent heavy rains, the riverbed has widened rapidly, and even the water is waist-deep.
The most important point is that it is located in the middle of the river, and it is also due to the heavy rain, which has caused the current water to flow here. If a person rushes down, it is very likely that he will be swept away by the flood, and if he is lucky, he will be washed to the shore downstream, but this is unlikely, and he will probably be choked to death by the river along the way.
After Yuan Biao finished dressing, he took off the hat on his head and threw it aside, and then took out a sheepskin hood from the baggage he was carrying and put it on the top of his head, and there was a rope to fix it.
After fastening his hood, Yuan Biao looked at the rest of the people and saw that they were almost ready, and then took out a tool similar to a flying tiger's claw from his baggage, grabbed it in his hand and shook it vigorously twice, and then shot towards a small open space on the opposite side.
It took several times to hook a relatively solid stone, and then Yuan Biao reached out and picked up a rope and began to wrap it around his waist, at this time a big hand held him down, and Yuan Biao looked up and saw that it was Chen Yueze.
"Brother Biao, I'll come, I'm good at water! If I get out of it, I can protect myself! Chen Yueze said to Yuan Biao in an unquestioning tone, and then without waiting for Yuan Biao to answer, he reached out and took the rope in his hand and began to wrap it around his waist.
Yuan Biao stood quietly in the rain and watched him do everything, during which he didn't say a word, not even words of thanks, because for life and death brothers like them, words like thanks are superfluous, and Chen Yueze's words are also very reasonable.
After Chen Yueze finished everything, he beckoned to the other people and smiled: "Brothers, come and pull me, I'm going to cross the river!" ”
At this time, Yuan Biao, who was beside Chen Yueze, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a solemn face: "Brother, be careful!" ”
Chen Yueze glanced back at Yuan Biao, did not answer, just nodded heavily, and then walked slowly towards the river.
Chen Yueze was holding the rope fixed on the opposite side with both hands, and everyone was pulling him behind him just in case, in this situation of turbulent water, and he didn't know anything about the road under his feet, even if he made such preparations, it was not a perfect strategy, but he could avoid casualties as much as possible.
Chen Yueze entered the river under the fixation of the front and back, and the shallow place was better at the beginning, and when he entered the middle, the river water could already reach his waist, and the impact of the river on him at this time was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't even control the stability of his body.
Although there was only a short distance of more than ten meters between the two sides of the river, it also made Chen Yueze walk hard for five or six minutes, during which he was almost washed down in the water once, but he still survived under Chen Yueze's heavy breath.
When Chen Yueze stepped safely on the other side, not only did he grin, but even the faces of the twenty-one people who had not passed there showed a smile of victory.
But then they have to face a problem, because the clearing on the opposite side is originally a big rock, and it can only accommodate four people at most, so the people they used to go there have to climb up first, and they can't wait for everyone to gather and act together.
Yuan Biao was the second to pass, and when Yuan Biao passed, he said that he would go to explore the road first, and then wait for them slowly. But Chen Yueze disagreed, and insisted on asking Yuan Biao to wait for a while, and after a few more brothers came over, he would accompany him together.
In the end, Yuan Biao couldn't resist Chen Yueze, and he also knew that Chen Yueze's skills and brains were also quite good, so he had to nod and agree.
