Chapter 527: You Laugh at Me for Shooting Weakly?
The pulse was stable and powerful, and it seemed that the medicinal effect was still working, but it did not cause harm to her body, Duan Shaojun let out a sigh of relief. The embroidery girl couldn't help but ask about the current situation. "Duan Changshi, the general is like this, how can we cross the river?"
"What's this, just let them make a bigger raft, and then carry the sleigh and people up to cross the river." Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes, there was nothing that could not be solved in such a small problem. "But you have to pay more attention to the general's situation, when she wakes up, it will probably be almost there."
"Duan Changshi, rest assured, Xiuniang will definitely look at the general." Xiuniang nodded, looking at Duan Shaojun's hand that was still touching Li Youwen's wrist seriously and vigilantly.
Duan Shaojun reluctantly let go of his hand, patted his butt and asked Xu Zheng to hurry up and raise a stove first, and rest next to this sleigh cart, which can somewhat make General Li, who has been unconscious and has never moved his hands and feet, be more warm and not cause frostbite.
The sky can be bright for a while, but now, Duan Shaojun is very uneasy in his heart, and there is always a feeling that there is a hungry wolf chasing after him all the time behind his buttocks.
"We have to hurry up and get them all working harder, and we can cross the river so that we can be safe." Duan Shaojun shouted at the soldiers who were busy. Urging them to speed up, cutting down wood and making rafts.
#####
"General, we are sleepy and tired, do you want to rest and rest first, if we chase down so recklessly, our combat power will definitely drop significantly." A general reined in the horse's head and rushed to Cao Hu'er, who was urging the brigade to move on.
Cao Hu'er gasped heavily, glanced at the subordinate and said hatefully. "So what? We are running wildly all the way, and you can see that the other party has stopped to rest, which can only mean that the other party has detected us. If we can't get there in time, when they cross the Drinking Horse River, then we will have more people and more horses, what can we do? ”
"Tell everyone that as long as their mounts are not dead, give me Lao Cao to keep going. If you want to rest, you have to wait until all of us have arrived at the Yinma River. ”
Cao Hu'er's unquestionable order made his subordinates, who had always been very afraid of this moody guard, retreat and continue to shout and scold the soldiers and continue to run forward frantically.
And they are getting closer and closer to the bank of the Yinma River where Duan Shaojun and the others are located.
Here, the felled wood has begun to build rafts, but there are not many trees here, more of the sparse and low trees, so only three rafts of wood can be scraped.
Seeing that Qi Da and a group of pro-soldiers were neatly building a raft, Duan Shaojun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the night sky that was almost completely engulfed by darkness, as long as he could cross the Yinma River before he could see anything, at that time, let alone hundreds of enemies, even if there were thousands of people. If you have the ability, you can swim collectively and freeze to death for your turtle sons.
Soon, the raft had been set up, and Qi Da, who had crossed the Yinma River here, led six people to take the first tied raft and began to cross the river carefully.
The turbulent current made the raft seem quite bumpy in the water, but with the support of six strong men with the support of their spears, it took a lot of effort to cross the other side of the Yinma River.
"It's too slow, if we cross like this, when will we be able to send all the men and horses to the other side." Li Shenjin's face became very gloomy, looking at the darkening sky, his heart was also heavy.
Duan Shaojun also knew that it would not work like this, so he frowned and glanced at the dense horses behind him, as well as the empty bank across the river. Only a few large trees with the thick mouth of the bowl stood alone.
"Who, whoever you come here, are you sure that you will shoot the arrow to the other side?" Duan Shaojun grabbed a soldier of Li Youwen who was carrying a hard bow next to him and asked.
This guy looked at Duan Shaojun several times strangely. "Twice as far as that, I can shoot to the other side." It seems that this guy thinks that Duan Shaojun is laughing at himself for being weak and weak, and such contempt makes all men very unhappy. This is simply in Chiguoguo's contempt for his own strength and what is there.
"That's okay, Xu Qing, you go find a long rope to tie to the tail of his arrow, shoot it to the opposite bank, let Qi Da catch it, and then tie a thicker rope...... Try to tie it to those tree trunks, let's get a stake here......" With Duan Shaojun's words, Xu Qing and Li Shenjin couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Childe, are you going to let us climb along the rope?" Xu Qing said a little nervously, although he is a southerner, he does not have enough climbing skills, and he may fall into the river halfway, so he has to freeze half to death.
"Don't talk nonsense to me, I let those rafts use this rope across the river as support, instead of relying on manpower, that would be too much of a waste of time......" Duan Shaojun almost wanted to kick it over, and kicked this thing directly into the Ma River, so that he could directly interpret a white strip in the waves of the northern winter.
Duan Shaojun's explanation suddenly made Li Shenjin and Xu Qing suddenly realize, and Li Shenjin hurriedly ordered the pro-soldier who was still there to continue to squint his eyes and despise Duan someone, so that this goods could be prepared to provide conditions for the large army to cross the river.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a sturdy rope more than twenty feet long had been prepared, and the thick wooden stake at one end of the river bank had been driven into the solid earth. Then, Qi Da, who had already understood Duan Shaojun's thoughts through shouting, and a strong man who stayed on the opposite bank had also picked the thickest trunk and the closest tree trunk to the river, and then waved his hand to this side.
The general's personal soldiers, who had already understood Duan Shaojun's meaning, took a deep breath very excitedly, bent his bow and arrow, and with an arrow to the sky, he could clearly see that this arrow drew a crooked arc under the already dim sky.
The creature scratched his head and excused himself. "The first time I shot this kind of arrow tied to a rope, I didn't grasp the strength well......"
"Don't fucking talk nonsense, don't go push the raft yet, are you going to wait until you can't see your fingers before going down the river?" Li Shenjin glanced at the goods with disdain, and began to beckon his own soldiers, pulling the sleigh where Li Youwen was lying.
With two thick and sturdy ropes as a fixed tool, the raft is no longer as before, and every time it goes forward, it will float several feet downstream, although in the turbulent river, the forward is still a little difficult, but compared to before, it is really much faster.
#####
But even so, transporting ninety horses and everyone else was still on the verge of breaking up. And not long after the last voyage of the last raft began, the sound of frenzied and dense hooves could be heard, the flickering torches lit up in the distance, and the roar faintly heard, like a pack of hungry wolves pounced.
Xu Zheng viciously spat in the direction of the torch, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and dragged the rope to the other side of the river slowly and with difficulty.
"They're over there, hurry up, you bastards, don't hurry up anymore! Don't let them run! The excited howl of a leader of the dead men inspired the already exhausted dead soldiers to scream and pounce viciously towards the shining light.
"Everyone, immediately extinguish the torches and tell Xu Zheng to cross the river slowly in the dark, without panicking." Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes insidiously and commanded towards Qi Da beside him.
Qi Da was stunned for a moment, but seeing Duan Shaojun's resolute expression, he nodded, and immediately ordered everyone to extinguish the torches in their hands and start to move to the rear, at least outside the range of the bow and arrow.
After all, since there is already a Yuma River barrier, no one wants to become the unlucky ghost who is under the arrows of the enemy who will arrive soon when he has already successfully escaped.
