Chapter 117: Is Heaven's Will Hard to Disobey?
"Why did you stop?"
Looking at the army that suddenly stopped, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he asked a little inexplicably.
"yes!"
"Why stop, speed up!"
"Accelerate!"
Liu Heizi was also at a loss, and shouted anxiously.
"Herald, go to the front and ask why you suddenly stopped!"
"Let them pick up the pace. I must rush to Nanming County before dawn. ”
"Otherwise, it will be punished for delaying military intelligence!"
"No!"
Seeing that Liu Heizi's face was pale, there was a faint cold color in his eyes.
The herald did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly got up.
However, before he could leave, someone came in a hurry, shouting in a hurried voice: "Report!"
"Report!"
Listening to the eager voice in front of them, no matter the degree, or Liu Heizi subconsciously stopped his figure, and subconsciously glanced at each other, they both saw a little shock from each other's eyes.
Just when the two of them didn't know what was happening in front of them, a herald ran over in a hurry, his face turned pale, and he said with a haste in his eyes:
"My lord, it's not good. ”
"It's a big deal!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Speak slowly. ”
"Why did you stop ahead?"
Seeing that the person in front of him came to report, Liu Heizi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his thick arm, put his shoulder on the sentry's shoulder, and asked anxiously.
"Returning to your lordship!"
"I don't know why... ”
"There is a hundred-zhang wide river blocking the road ahead, and there is no way for us to cross it!"
"So I had to stop!"
"Please do something as soon as possible!"
The herald did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly replied truthfully.
"What!"
"How is this possible?"
"According to Ben General's memory, there was only a small river several feet wide ahead, and the river was not very deep. ”
"How can there be a hundred zhang river ahead?"
"Could it be that we waited for the lonely army to go deep and lost our way?"
"Map!"
"Bring me the map!"
Listening to the sentry's answer, Liu Heizi's face couldn't help but change greatly. His eyes flickered, and he yelled in some hysteria and some disbelief.
"No!"
The pro-soldiers next to him also realized the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took down the map of the animal skin brand from the back.
This kind of map is imprinted on the animal skin with a special technique, which is moisture-proof and fireproof, not easy to damage, and relatively light to carry.
"No!"
The soldiers did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly spread out the hides.
Liu Heizi leaned down, put his eyes on the animal skin, and carefully observed the texture and the trend of the mountains. And from time to time I look around with my spare eyes.
I don't know how long it took for Liu Heizi to get up, his brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Liu Heizi's face was gloomy, his eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of surprise, and he asked with some worry.
"General, but what happened?"
"Sir!"
"Something is wrong!"
"According to the map, the river ahead is only a few zhang wide, but for some reason, the water level has skyrocketed to 100 zhang!"
"I'm waiting for this trip, there is no transportation, it's hard to get through!"
Listening to Liu Heizi's words, the degree of paleness couldn't help but change greatly.
Flash floods and river surges, such a situation, not to mention a rare occurrence in a century, is also very rare.
"Can we get around it?"
"This Heishui River, meandering, is a hundred miles long, and there are many towering cliffs on both sides, it is impossible to go around!"
Looking at the expectant eyes, Liu Heizi's heart couldn't help but stagnate, but he still shook his head heavily.
"This!"
"How's that okay?"
Looking at Liu Heizi's expression, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom. However, he still asked with some reluctance:
"Where's the pontoon?"
"On such a long river, there will always be a pontoon bridge, right?"
"Sir!"
"Because of the rain in the upper reaches for several days, the river water has swelled, and the pontoon bridge on the river has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been washed away!"
"There's no way we can get through!"
Hearing the degree of inquiry, Liu Heizi's face became more bitter.
"Can we build a pontoon bridge?"
As the sentry said, the river is covered in sediment, the water is unusually turbid, and the most important thing is that the water is turbulent, not to mention soldiers, even boulders can be swept away.
"This!"
"Your Excellency!"
"It's not that the little ones shirk it, but the river is too turbulent!"
"We can't stand at all, and most importantly, because of the river's surge, we don't know how deep the river is. ”
"There's no way at all... ”
Looking at the embarrassed soldiers, the degree of frowning couldn't help frowning.
It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, but the river blocks the way, making his heart irritable beyond words. He walked back and forth on the river embankment a few times like a bull, and asked with some reluctance.
"Is there no other way?"
"This!"
"Unless... ”
The soldier glanced at Liu Heizi with some hesitation, his face full of hesitation.
"Unless what?"
Degree's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked with some joy.
"Hurry up!"
"That's it, when is it, what are you selling!"
"Don't hurry up yet!"
Seeing the soldier looking at him with his eyes, Liu Heizi's face suddenly turned pale, and he said with some unswervingness.
"No!"
Seeing that Liu Heizi was angry, the soldier didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said.
"Unless there is a three-masted galleon, or a Mo family airship, we can get through such a moat, otherwise it is impossible!"
"This!"
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it!"
"This place is sparsely populated, how can there be a three-masted galleon?"
Listening to the soldier's words, Liu Heizi's eyes couldn't help but stare at him, and he said with a displeased face.
"It was the general who asked me to say it!"
The soldier was reprimanded by Liu Heizi, although he didn't dare to refute, but his eyes had already said everything.
"You!"
Liu Heizi couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't do anything about him, so he could only look at the degree with a wry smile on his face:
"Let the gentleman see the joke!"
"These sons are all good on the battlefield, but their personalities are more vulgar!"
Looking at the soldier with a worried face, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand weakly, and sighed with a dejected face.
He didn't know what the soldier said.
"Is it really providential?"
"Could it be that Liu Ji of Beijun is still unlucky?"
"Why else would it happen that the flood would have erupted?"
Standing on the shore alone, looking at the surging flood, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of confusion.
As the level of the chief, there are such thoughts, let alone others.
Everyone has an indescribable worry about the future and fate.
There are even people whose eyes flicker and whisper quietly.
Just when everyone's faces were full of suspicion, the eyes of the degree couldn't help but expand, and they looked at the river in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
Under his influence, everyone also subconsciously raised their heads.
As with the degree, both Liu Heizi and ordinary soldiers have round eyes, wide open mouths, and faces full of shock and disbelief...
