The soldiers who were selected to be good at water looked at each other, and they all stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to go!" ”

Chen Xu looked at these people and said, "This matter is not trivial, if you are not sure, you should not go into the water." ”

One of the soldiers, who had not yet gotten up, raised his head and said, "Lord, I hesitated only because I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because I was afraid that I would not be able to complete my lord's order and delay my lord's plan, so I didn't say a word." ”

"But now this strong man, since he said that he can cross the river with a rope, we naturally have no psychological burden."

"Although we are not good at water, we have no problem swimming through this big river alone. If this strong man needs help on the way across the river, we will help him cross the river, even if we spare our lives. ”

The rest of the soldiers also expressed their positions, and after Chen Xu saw it, he was moved in his heart.

He lifted the crowd up, stared into their eyes, and said, "If the camp can be successfully robbed tonight, you must remember the first merit." ”

"Remember, when you have reached the other side, tie the rope to the root of a large tree, which must not be too high."

"When the time comes, I will let the soldiers here glide directly over the cliff."

At this time, everyone knew why Chen Xu would let them, and everyone tied a rope around their waists.

If the long, thick rope in Li Dayin's waist could be pulled to the other side of the river. The soldiers here can tie the rope to the stirrup and glide directly from the height of the cliff.

Due to the tight schedule of the expedition, most of the craftsmen of the cottages made stirrups into semi-circular hoops. These iron rings only need to be tied to the horse's back with a strong rope and can be used.

When Chen Xu brought everyone over, he untied the stirrups.

The stirrups made by the craftsmen are very smooth and sturdy on the inside.

In this way, during the process of gliding, the friction will be reduced, so that the rope that crosses the two sides of the river will not be broken.

In the barracks, Chen Xu only found such a long and thick rope with no knots in the middle. Only this kind of rope meets the requirements of gliding.

Li Dayin and the others stripped naked, and when Chen Xu sent them to the river, he patted Li Dayin's shoulder vigorously and said, "If you can bring the rope over this time, I will give you the first credit." ”

Li Dayin's hideous face was like a chrysanthemum, tightly wrinkled together, and he said happily: "In this way, I will wait for the lead." ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything and jumped directly into the water. The rest of the soldiers, who were good at water, also followed suit and jumped into the river.

Everyone looked nervously at the few people in the water, hoping that they would be able to swim safely to the other side of the river.

The rope that was coiled in a circle on the river bank also began to slowly enter the water as Li Dayin swam forward.

Just started, Li Dayin swam very smoothly. But he didn't dare to swim directly to the other side of the river, but swam to the other side of the river in a diagonal line with the impact of the river.

As more and more ropes entered the water, Li Dayin encountered more and more resistance. Gradually, he had swam to the center of the river, and the rope behind him had been washed into an arc by the river.

"Damn, underestimating the difficulty of swimming across a big river with a rope."

Feeling the huge pulling force in his waist, Li Dayin spit out a mouthful of water and scolded in a low voice.

Those soldiers were chosen from 7,000 men. Although their water nature is not as good as Li Dayin's, they can also follow Li Dayin closely behind without a rope to drag them down.

One of the soldiers seemed to feel that Li Dayin was struggling, so he swam behind him with all his might, and then pulled a rope and swam forward.

"You go behind me now, save some effort to float on the surface of the river, and I'll help pull the rope forward first."

Li Dayin was overjoyed when he heard this, so he slowed down and let the soldier pull the rope and swim to the front. Now he only needs to float to the surface of the water with very little strength, and his body is directly dragged forward by the soldier.

The impact of the current was no joke, and the soldier had just swam a few meters before he was on the verge of exhaustion. He loosened the rope wrapped around his shoulders and began to float in the water to regain his strength.

In this way, several soldiers took turns to pull Li Dayin forward, and swam a quarter of the way, and everyone was a little exhausted.

At this time, Li Dayin said: "Leave the rest to me!" ”

After speaking, he took the rope and swam desperately to the other side of the river.

"It's over, it's over!"

After a while, the officers and soldiers on the east bank vaguely saw Li Dayin coming ashore with a rope, and they couldn't help but cheer quietly.

Chen Xu also had a smile on his face, but he still rebuked those officers and soldiers: "Don't speak without an order!" Although this place is not close to the Dazhai of the Xianbei people, it is also necessary to guard against those people hearing it. ”

"Remember, they came with a rope and this was only the first step. More difficult things are yet to come. ”

When the officers and men heard this, their hearts sank and they stopped talking.

Although the moonlight is good, it is still a little difficult to see the situation on the other side of the river.

In addition, the crowd could not light a fire or shout loudly. So after a while, Chen Xu felt that the people on the other side of the river had been throwing the rope, and he knew that it had been tied.

The officers and soldiers here all went up to the cliff with ropes. Although Chen Xu's method of crossing the river was imaginative, everyone had never experienced it, and when they saw a rope rising across the river, they all had a trace of fear in their hearts.

You must know that under the rope is the rushing river, if you are not careful, falling into the water is definitely a dead end. After all, not everyone has the same water nature as Li Dayin.

Chen Xu had seen many such scenes on TV in his previous life, but he had not experienced it himself. However, since he came up with this method, it is necessary for him to lead by example.

As soon as Chen Xu wanted to step forward, he saw that Tang Chen had already used a rope to pass through the stirrups in his waist.

"You've all tightened the rope, don't let go!"

After saying that, he jumped off the cliff directly, and he glided along the rope. The soldiers on the east bank of the river who were pulling the ropes were all full of strength. The tighter the rope was pulled, the faster Tang Chen would glide.

Seeing this, Chen Xu hurriedly said: "Loosen it a little, if you pull it too tightly, the rope will easily break after rubbing." ”

Although the soldiers didn't quite understand the meaning of Chen Xu's words, they didn't dare to disobey, and they all relieved a little strength.

Looking at the black spot above the Yuhe River, getting closer and closer to the other side of the river, a big stone in Chen Xu's heart finally fell.

In this way, the Yellow Turban soldiers glided past one by one. After all the 500 selected soldiers had passed, there had been a delay of two hours.

Chen Xu looked at the sky and muttered in a low voice: "It can't be delayed any longer." ”

He turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "After I pass, you don't have to go." Go back and let the military advisor guard the camp well, and let him not worry about my safety. ”

After Chen Xu glided over, the soldiers all gathered around him. He patted the soldiers who swam across the river and said, "You are all good. ”

Then he looked around and said in a low voice: "We have only 500 men, but the enemy has 50,000 men, and we don't even have reinforcements because of the big river. ”

"Tell me, are you afraid?"

Everyone shook their heads vigorously, although they didn't speak, the meaning they expressed couldn't be clearer.

Chen Xu smiled with relief, and he said to everyone: "Actually, there is really nothing to be afraid of. ”

"The Xianbei people burned the ships and destroyed the drawbridge. Coupled with the fact that our army did not cut wood and build ships during the day, they must have thought that it was impossible for our army to come and rob the camp. ”

"In addition, they have been running for a few days, and they are all sleepy. If we attack suddenly and set fire everywhere, the Xianbei people are very likely to blow up the camp. ”

Hearing the word "bombing the camp", everyone had a look of fear on their faces. As long as you are a soldier, who knows the horror of bombing the camp.

Chen Xu continued: "We are all cavalry, but this time we crossed the river and left all the horses on the other side of the river. ”

"When we attacked the Xianbei camp this time, our first task was to find the Xianbei people's war horses first. Let's each take one horse to use as a mount, then open the stable, and let the rest of the horses out. ”

"Let's think about it, in the Xianbei camp at night, suddenly thousands of horses galloped, and the sound of killing was everywhere. At that time, what kind of reaction will they have? ”

When everyone heard Chen Xu's words, a smile appeared on their faces.

They were all battle-hardened warriors, and they knew that in this situation, even if Sun Wu was reincarnated, there would be no good way.

Chen Xu took five hundred soldiers and quietly touched the vicinity of the Xianbei people's Dazhai. After observing the situation in the camp, the Yellow Turbans came to a place near the stables.

They plucked their antlers and crept into the camp of the Xianbei people.

It's the beginning of the new year, and it's the time when people are sleeping. After a long time of running, the Yellow Turban Army rested during the day, but its body was still exhausted.

But now, they're excited.

Chen Xu made a gesture, and Zhao Yun and those sharpshooters in the army bent their bows and arrows and quietly moved forward.

The Yellow Turbans were cautious all the way, and they actually touched the side of the stable very smoothly. But around the stables, there were a dozen Xianbei people dozing there.

Chen Xu motioned for everyone to hide, and after finding out the location of all the Xianbei people, he asked the sharpshooters to aim at the throats of these people and start shooting arrows.

"Poof!"

These cavalrymen, who can shoot bows left and right on their horses, naturally shoot a dead target with a hundred shots. Before the Xianbei could open their eyes, they were shot in the throat and fell to the ground.

The Yellow Turbans touched the stables, and after pacifying the horses, they pulled their respective mounts out.

The rest of the war horses were all cut off the reins, and even if the Xianbei people sat on the war horses, they could not control the horses without the reins.

Then with a deafening roar, all the war horses were driven out of the stable, Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The Yellow Turban Army fought and set fires at the same time, crisscrossing the camp of the Xianbei people.
