Chapter 381: Flying across the river

The night breeze is cold.

The moon in the sky was only a bend, and under the cold and dim starlight, one could only see the distance around him about five feet.

Crossing the river in such a dark night, even if there are patrol personnel arranged on the other side, it is difficult to detect, and the cordon of the Jizhou army cannot be arranged at such a distance.

But the risk is also not small, if the person who crosses the river accidentally falls into the water, there will be no one to help. Visibility was too low to determine the location of the person who fell into the water. Rash fire would reveal the location, which would lead to the failure of the entire raid plan.

In the middle of winter, the river is colder than ice, and it only takes a moment to freeze to death the most majestic horse. Most of the people who fell into the water were not drowned, their bodies were frozen long before they drowned. Even if you rely on the good water and struggle to the shore by luck, you can't avoid the fate of becoming a zombie.

In a way, it's colder on the shore than in the river. Just as some people swim in winter in later generations, but no one wanders on the street in soaked clothes in winter, the blade-like cold wind will ruthlessly pierce the soaked armor on his body, bringing a severe cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, thus destroying most of the body's functions.

The danger is not only that, in the middle and upper reaches, the Yellow River will freeze. The water downstream is strong and the temperature is relatively high, so it does not freeze, but the river water is mixed with a large amount of ice, just like when a glacier dissolves.

Driven by the rapids, these ice blocks pose a deadly threat not only to people in the water, but also to various means of crossing the river, such as boats and rafts. If one accidentally collides, it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death.

It is no exaggeration to say that the basis for the establishment of Wang Yu's raid plan was this journey that was almost to death.

In the face of such challenges, the Qingzhou Army showed the demeanor of a strong army in the world.

There is no doubt. Without flinching, not even questioning, the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army behaved fearlessly.

Most of them didn't even know where they were going tonight, and when they heard the call of the officers, they got up from their hot beds with their weapons, lifted up their armor packages, and then each of them put a stick in their mouths and followed each other toward the riverbank.

Wang Yu stood on a large rock near the riverbank. Try to make yourself visible to every soldier who passes by. As the commander of tens of thousands of armies and the princes who dominate one side, his position in the army has shifted.

He doesn't need to, and can't again, be the first in every battle, as he used to be. Fighting in the first line will not help much to boost the morale and morale of the army, but will expose itself to the enemy and become a flaw in the army.

Now, all he had to do was try to tell the soldiers that he was with the army. Everyone is fighting under his banner, which is enough to have the effect of far exceeding the first soldier, this is the change brought about by identity.

So, in this operation. The only place where there was light was at Wang Yu's feet, and every soldier who passed by here clearly saw his commander.

Even if there is still a little hesitation and fear of the future in my heart, the moment I see that majestic figure. It was also swept away, replaced by infinite fighting spirit.

There is no need for long speeches. With passionate incitement, Wang Yu told everyone the direction of progress with a silent gesture: cross the river! Step into battle! Break the enemy!

It's as simple as that.

"Lord Qi, all the members of the Urging Battalion are in place, and nothing is missing!"

“…… All the Shooting Battalion is on standby, please announce it! ”

“…… Feather Grove Camp"

"Lord, the water camp is ready to start at any time!"

The sound of rushing water and the clattering of ice muffled the human voices, and even the darkness of the night could not stop the determination of the strongest soldiers in the world, nor could it interfere with their assembly.

Through the dark and inky night, Wang Yu vaguely saw countless loyal and resolute faces, this is the mighty army he has created single-handedly in the past two years! They will become their most reliable force, with the power of wind and fire, to calm this troubled world and dispel the thickest darkness in China!

He waved his hand resolutely, and the deep shout contained the most violent power: "Get moving!" ”

The first to act was the water camp.

They were one of the biggest reasons for Wang Yu to dare to implement this plan. Although the plan is dangerous, Wang Yu is not a reckless man who only knows how to take risks, proper planning, sophisticated equipment, targeted skills and training are the fundamental reasons for his repeated adventures and repeated successes.

It was the people, not the ships, who were the first to act.

The sound of entering the water is very soft, but when you hear it in your ears, it is moving, Huang Zhong's hearing is the best, and he is also the first to be moved, he looked at Gong Tian in surprise: "What is this doing?" ”

"Pull the cableway." Gong Tian's expression was also quite solemn, but it seemed that he was only worried about whether the task could be completed, rather than the safety of the person who entered the water: "The current of the big river is too fast, and it is difficult for even the most experienced boater to grasp the direction of the current, even during the day, let alone at night. The only solution is to pull a few ropeways......"

He pointed to the other side, as if he could see it very clearly: "The other side has already laid the stakes in advance, and it is just opposite to the side of the case, as long as the long rope is connected, the raft will be fine to move along the ropeway." If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Jun's ranger patrols were too dense, this matter could have been done in advance, but now doing it would be much more risky. ”

This is a whimsical solution, but it has to be said to be very effective, and it solves the most dangerous course problem of the night crossing at once. Since the ropeway is located in a safe and pre-surveyed channel, there are no dangers such as reefs and other dangers along the ropeway, and the landing is relatively safe.

However, it is more troublesome to prepare in advance, and the wooden stakes can be nailed down in advance, even if they are discovered, they may not cause vigilance, after all, the Gaotang area is a ferry, and it is normal for someone to drive wooden stakes by the river to fix the boat. However, if the long rope is hung in advance, even if it sinks in the water, there is a high chance that the target will be exposed.

In order to ensure the implementation of the plan, this link can only be carried out before the start of the operation.

"What a warrior!" Huang Zhong sighed sincerely. If you swim across the Yellow River in this weather, even if you can succeed, you may not be able to save your life. He saw that the warriors had drunk strong wine before going into the water, but even if it was strong wine, it could not have the effect of reviving the elixir.

"Although it is dangerous, it is not certain to die, they have the water on them designed by the lord himself. It is made of a special animal skin, this beast is only produced in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, haunts the seaside, and is called the seal ......" is half relieved, half is showing off, Gong Tian said proudly.

"I see, the lord set up a water camp, and he really had a far-sighted plan."

In addition to the battle to exterminate Guan Cheng, the Qingzhou Navy has basically not encountered any strong enemies, and has been separated from the system of the Qingzhou Army. In his opinion, the main task of the water camp seems to be to do business, a group of vendors.

What he saw and heard tonight changed his point of view, and beyond the perception of him and the robes, the navy army had grown to the point where it could not be ignored. There are skills, special tactics, and courage that is not inferior to that of the army battalions.

After tonight's battle, Qingzhou Water Camp will also be famous all over the world and shock all directions.

As soon as he heard this, Gong Tian was even happier, Qingzhou's navy had taken an unusual path from the beginning. The original fleet was actually composed of windsurfing boards, and it can be said that from the very beginning, the naval army took the road of special operations.

After eliminating Guan Cheng, Shuiying also fought a few battles, but they were all in Xuzhou and even Jiangnan, and they were all almost sneak attacks, and they were not under their own banners, so they were always unknown.

Tonight, it's finally time for the water camp to accumulate steadily. As the commander of the navy, even if it is temporary, he is only a commander who operates under the guidance of the lord, and Gongtian still has honor and dignity.

Just as he was about to publicize a few more words, there was a sudden commotion on the shore, and then someone ran over, with irrepressible joy in his voice: "Big boss...... Oh, no, it's General Gong, Chen Zhen and they have gone up, and the ropeway has been connected! ”

"Good boy, he really deserves to be the number one master in Huang County!" Gong Tian was overjoyed, smashed a fist in the palm of his hand, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Cheer up Lao Tzu and escort the army across the river!" ”

More than half of the people in the water camp were selected from the water bandits, and when Gong Tian carried out the order, he rarely played his own banner, so the army was extremely angry.

Fortunately, the training method of the navy army is different from that of the army, and forcing them to look at each other is neither possible nor necessary, but it is now more efficient.

"Just look at it!" The general of the water battalion ran away happily, and the next moment, the water on the shore was loud.

The first to cross the river were the warships, which had been moored on the upstream shore, and when the ropeway had taken shape, they sailed slowly along the ropeway, one by one, into the darkness in the middle of the river, without carrying any men.

Huang Zhong didn't understand much at first, but after Gong Tian's explanation, he realized that the water camp was to build a barrier and use his body to block the ice that rushed down from the upstream - the biggest killer of these troop rafts!

Seeming to feel Huang Zhong's agitated mood, Gong Tian turned his head and smiled: "This is what the water battalion should do, to defeat the enemy and win, but it still depends on the ability of the army brothers." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let the sacrifice of the Shui Ying brothers go in vain!" Huang Zhong suppressed his agitated mood, waved his hand resolutely, and was the first to jump on the raft: "Brothers, come with so-and-so!" ”

The brothers in the front row jumped onto the raft that had been prepared and disappeared without a trace in an instant. The brothers in the back row, regardless of whether the people in front of them fell into the river and drowned, or were safely landed on the shore, stepped onto the raft, and struggled to use the prepared penny to support them, and dissolved into the boundless darkness one after another.

There was no movement on the surface of the river, the sound of the water was turbulent, and the crashes were more frequent, and the beats of loyalty and courage were playing.

The night wind is getting more and more violent.
