Chapter 764: Smuggling (II)

The Yellow River is in the spring flood season, the water is abundant, the waves are monstrous, the entire Yellow River channel is filled with the raging Yellow River water, the torrent carries a large amount of sediment, roaring unscrupulously in the river trough, and even there is a risk of bursting the embankment at any time.

In all fairness, this season is not the best time to cross the river, but it will take at least a month or so until the peach blossom flood is over, and the situation waits for no one.

The setting sun converged the last trace of afterglow, Ah Jian and they were in the shadow of the mountain peaks on the west bank, although the Yellow River was not too wide, but at this moment it was completely difficult to see the figure from the opposite side, but the other side was still bathed in the sun, Ah Jian and they saw it more realistically.

The sunset reflects the water of the Yellow River in two distinct colors, with the east of the river center showing a bright blood yellow, and the west part of the river center showing a dark yellow.

Ah Jian's face was gloomy and resolute, he silently watched the rushing river, it was clear that the water of the Yellow River was more than he expected, but this did not seem to shake his determination.

The people brought by Ah Jian this time are all masters who are proficient in water, and they are all elites in Shu, you must know that none of the big rivers in Shu is not wider than the Yellow River, and the water flow is not faster than the Yellow River.

But Ah Jian is also very clear that it is spring, especially at night, the temperature will drop a lot, and the unusually cold river water is a great test for the Shu army's swimming, and the Yellow River is different from the Shu River, the Shu River is pure and drinkable river water, but in the Yellow River, most of the water is mud and sand, swimming in this environment, for the Shu army's water masters, it is also a great challenge.

Ah Jian did not rush into the water, but ordered the team to rest in place, eat some dry food, replenish the physical consumption brought by the forced march all the way, and accumulate strength for the upcoming river crossing operation, wine is of course indispensable, Ah Jian specially prepared a lot of soju in order to warm up the soldiers. These soju are specially made by the Marquis of Baling, and unlike rice wine, these soju are extremely high, and they have a hot and spicy feeling in the mouth.

The members of each team drank several sips, and some who were not used to this kind of liquor were choked and coughed on the spot, and the people who were too drunk were even more red, but after drinking, everyone was warm, and they didn't feel how cold it was in this warm and cold spring night.

Near midnight, Ah Jian stood up and looked at the east bank of the Yellow River, where there was no sound except the sound of the Yellow River. Ah Jian divided the 100 people into three groups of 33 people each, and went into the water with the first group.

When the Shu army waded into the river, the first feeling was that it was cold and biting, but no one hesitated, and no one flinched, they all followed closely behind Ah Jian, struggling to swim to the opposite bank.

A wave hit and directly engulfed Ah Jian, but soon Ah Jian surfaced again, and spit out his mouth full of mud and sand.

Ah Jian is not only a high martial artist, but also a master swimmer, although the Yellow River is turbulent, but in Ah Jian's eyes, it is not an insurmountable natural danger, he stretched his long arms, rowing hard in the water, one after another huge waves hit over, but he was never able to drown.

Swimming in a fast-flowing river is much more difficult than still water, and if you don't have enough strength, you are likely to be swept away by the rapids. Crossing the Yellow River was definitely the most brutal contest between man and nature, and Ah Jian led more than 30 elite soldiers of the Shu army to fight unrelentingly.

In Ajian leading the tour in front, the Shu soldiers behind were even more vigorous, desperately paddling their arms, fighting against the Yellow River rapids, and rushing to the opposite bank without stopping.

When the Shu soldiers finally swam to the other side, they were exhausted one by one, as if they had collapsed. Fortunately, the whole east bank is in a dark at the moment, there is no sound at all, look up, the Hun camp on the embankment is still half lit with torches, there are two sentries at the camp gate, but these two sentries do not adopt a standing posture, but sit on the ground, leaning against the camp gate, sleeping soundly.

Ah Jian secretly said that it was a fluke, if the two sentries remained awake at this time, it would be easy to find the Shu army smuggled in, once the warning was given, the Hun soldiers in the entire ferry camp would be awakened, with the current state of the Shu army, it would be difficult to fight.

Ah Jian ordered the Shu soldiers crossing the river not to make noise, not to make any noise, and to take a short rest under the river embankment to recover their strength.

The number of people was counted, and 31 of the 34-person river crossing team followed Ah Jian to cross the river successfully, and only two were unfortunately swept away by the torrent, and their fate was uncertain. However, such a result is also quite good, in the face of the torrent, the vast majority of Shu soldiers still gritted their teeth and survived and completed the crossing.

Ah Jian rested under the east bank while signaling the next group of Shu soldiers. The signal light is actually to light a candle and put it in the lampshade, two bright and one dark means that the first group has successfully crossed the river, and then it depends on the second group and every third group of river crossing actions.

With the successful experience of Ah Jian's first group, the remaining two groups of Shu soldiers have successfully completed the task of crossing the river, and only one person in each group was swept away by the rapid waves, and most of the Shu soldiers were still very lucky to reach the other side.

The smuggling operation was a complete success, and the next task was to attack the Huns' garrison camp at Jundu Ferry, seize a beachhead, and create conditions for the Shu army's brigade to cross the river.

Ah Jian first led a few guards to touch it, and the two snoring Hun sentinels who were asleep did not realize that death had quietly descended on them.

Ah Jian gently waved his finger at the two guards, and the two guards lightly landed on the side of the two sentinels, and the sharp dagger in his hand slashed through a cold light, easily slitting the throat of the Hun sentry.

The synchronization of the two guards was very good, and they were quick and ruthless, without giving the Hun soldiers any chance to react, and the two Hun sentries didn't even have time to find the slightest sound, so they both stepped on Huangquan Road.

After killing the sentry, the next action became smooth, and the Shu army quietly approached the Hun tent, and killed the Hun soldiers who fell asleep in the tent without much effort. (To be continued.) )
