After the order was issued, everyone went back to the camp to make final preparations, and in the dense fog only heard the sound of huge horses' hooves and the sound of the collision of the armor leaves in the distance, obviously the cavalry in the distance began to move, and the boatmen in the vicinity began to shout the trumpet, putting the boats into the river.

In order to cover up the huge noise here, all the Sui army camps along the entire Yangtze River are desperately beating drums and gongs, and this has been the case every day for more than a month, and the officers and soldiers of the Chen Dynasty have already been exhausted.

Those warships in the fog in the distance did not even stop for a moment, swimming normally, obviously they were already accustomed to it, and even the Chen soldiers on the ship were beating gongs and drums for a while, and the Sui troops on the other side of the shore seemed to be having a party, and as if they were venting their dissatisfaction with this patrol messenger on this Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wang Xuan took Wang Huaqiang and others back to the riverside, Wang Huashi and Wang Huawei were waiting here with their subordinates, and as soon as they saw the two of them, they greeted them, Wang Xuan simply explained the task to everyone, and the whole team was ready to go.

Wang Huashi glanced at Wang Huaqiang, and suddenly laughed: "Second brother, your leggings are loose again." He bent down and helped Wang Huaqiang tie his leggings.

Wang Huaqiang's heart was moved, from childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest brother is three or four years older than himself, and most of his martial arts are taught by the eldest brother, in his eyes, he will always be the little brother he needs to protect.

The sky was gradually dark, in order to keep it secret, there was no fire here, everyone held hands, sat in a straight line according to the order of getting on the boat, quietly waiting for the arrival of the hour, the white gas exhaled from everyone's mouths was soon submerged in the thick white fog.

Wang Huaqiang sat next to Wang Xuan, watching his eyes flash in the night, his chest was rising and falling violently, and even the heartbeat of "Peng Peng Peng" could be heard clearly, Wang Huaqiang knew that the father's revenge that he had endured for decades finally had a chance to revenge, how could he not be excited.

Unconsciously, listening to the sound of the river crashing on the shore, Wang Huaqiang's heart couldn't calm down at all, the sky was completely dark, more than half of the unitary time had passed, but the fog on the river was getting heavier and heavier.

Wang Huaqiang's heart is also as fluctuating as this country, although he is less than twenty years old now, but the experience of decades in the previous life has already made him calm as water, and today is the first time to panic for no reason.

Could it be that this is because you are actually going to war? Wang Huaqiang asked himself like this, and he didn't know the answer.

Wang Huaqiang was thinking to himself, but he heard someone behind him playing a bangzi, and said hurriedly: "The time has come!"

Wang Xuan walked away, his voice was not too high, but it was full of energy, in this quiet night, more than 600 people could hear it clearly: "Get on the boat, everyone will be crowned, and those who have a voice will be killed!" Look at the fire on my ship!"

Everyone jumped up from the ground at the same time, everyone had a wooden stick in their mouths, it was for the title, the ferry boat was covered with thick grass, everyone turned over and jumped in one by one, and the sound of the collision with the plank was really not worth mentioning in the sound of the turbulent river.

The river in the distance, it was pitch black, and the nearest light was more than ten miles away, it was the end of the year, and it was such a cold winter, the patrol of the warships of the Chen Dynasty at night was pitiful, and the firelight was the best definition of the position of the warship.

As in the past few months, more than 600 people jumped onto the boat, and the cables were untied by a dozen sergeants left on the shore, carrying everyone into the vast night, the dark river, mixed with thick white fog, was like an unknown fate, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

The boatmen did not dare to shout the trumpet, only the squeaking sound of the sheath behind the rudder, mixed with the sound of the oars paddling, echoed in everyone's ears, and there was still no fire on the river, and the light of the torches of the Chen Dynasty patrol on the opposite bank was not visible.

Mai Tie Staff had already figured out the law of their night patrol, and they would pass by here once at two o'clock, and the next time they came, it would be almost after the hour, and the warships on the river would basically not come all night, and as long as they went ashore, they could quickly open up a landing site.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and Wang Huaqiang is on the boat, and even the two boats next door that can still be seen when he first entered the water can no longer be seen. The night is as cold as water, on this dark river with no end in sight, looking around, except for the fog, there is only river water, trapped in a lonely wooden boat, giving Wang Huaqiang the feeling of that kind of bone-chilling.

Wang Xuan did not bite the wooden stick in his mouth, his eyes have been slightly closed, since he got on the boat, he has been sitting on the side of the boat, reaching into the river, feeling the direction and speed of the river, at this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and whispered: "Everyone prepare, there are still about a hundred steps from the river bank." ”

The boat was silent, everyone who lowered their heads and closed their eyes suddenly came to love, raised their heads one after another, and a few of them stood up and looked at the opposite side, Wang Huaqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, did not look around, but lowered his head and picked up a torch that had been prepared and coated with pine resin from his feet, and handed it to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan smiled slightly, took out the flint in his arms, his hands trembled a little, and he wiped it a few times before he lit the fire and lit the torch, and everyone only felt that it was much brighter in front of them.

Wang Huaqiang stood up, looked closely, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the river bank was only about thirty steps away from the bow of the ship, and the waves were crashing against the reef on the shore one after another, and on the opposite shore, there was a faint fire almost at the same time.

Wang Huaqiang's heart was excited, this should be the opposite side of the wheat iron staff in response to his signal, so Wang Huaqiang raised the torch up and down according to the agreement, three times in a row, and the fire on the opposite side was also according to the agreed code, drawing three circles.

That's right, it was confirmed that it was a wheat iron rod, and according to the agreement, even if he fell into the hands of the enemy, he would give another signal three times to rush up and down, so that everyone could evacuate urgently, not just these three circles.

Wang issued a deep order: "All go ashore, if you cower or not, cut off!"

More than a dozen boats approached the river bank one after another, and more than 600 people on board jumped into the water from both sides of the boat with steel knives in their mouths, splashing waves one after another.

Wang Huaqiang threw the torch into the river, and also bit the steel knife in the same way, stepped on the boat gang, jumped down, and felt a piercing chill as soon as he entered the water.

Wang Huaqiang also wiped his body with grease before leaving, and still felt that his lower body was instantly like he was frozen, and even his teeth began to fight.

Fortunately, the river is not deep, the place where Wang Huaqiang went into the water is only a dozen steps away from the river bank, and the depth of the river is only up to the waist.

The soles of Wang Huaqiang's feet seem to have stepped on hard stones, not like the soft soil when training in the river, just like that, Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth and walked in the river with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and every step seemed so difficult.

The people who went into the water were also similar to Wang Huaqiang's feelings, everyone spontaneously found people nearby, holding hands, one after another, so that the effect was much better, and it didn't take a moment for many people to support each other and walk on the riverbank.

After only walking a dozen steps in this river, Wang Huaqiang's lips turned purple from the cold, and his whole body trembled like chaff, and when he looked around, he could only see people within a few feet in the dense fog, and most of them were the same as himself, their faces were pale.

Wang Huaqiang began to really admire the wheat iron rod, which could swim around in the river at this temperature.

Just thinking about it, Wang Huaqiang's shoulder was patted, and when he looked up, Wang Xuan's face was also pale, he smiled at himself, pointed to the fire a hundred steps away in front of him, and said: "It must be Mai Tiezhu who brought someone to meet us, it seems that there are still a lot of people." ”

Wang Huaqiang looked at the situation, and in the vast white mist, the firelight was getting closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger, and there were a lot of figures around the firelight.

Wang Xuan glanced at the vicinity, and as far as the eye could see, at least more than 100 people had already gone ashore, and a little farther away in the river, the sound of "plopping and plopping" could be heard in the water, thinking that the people on several other boats were gathering here with the firelight as a signal.

Wang Xuan and Wang Huaqiang greeted them side by side, and after walking more than 20 steps, they saw a wheat iron staff holding a torch high, with a black face and long legs, and a night outfit.
